Arthur's POV
Sun is about the rise but the kid is still didn't wake up. Having a couple of holes opened up on your body definitely would be painful but I start to worry about his situation. It should be at least 6 hours that I completely healed his wounds.
I check his status multiple times with <Observe> but there is nothing out of ordinary there, I even bought the <Analyze> skill from the store but it showed the same thing. There nothing wrong with him at least physically. I hope that going through that intense amount of pain didn't cause mental damage to him. I have no way of fixing that stuff.
With the exception of this kid's situation, I think I'm doing quite good things for myself. For gaining points in wisdom stat, I bought near two hundred books in different subjects like human biology, simple and advanced machinery and mechanics, books about various flora and fauna, management, navigation, traditional medicine making and etc.
The best thing about these books is their prize. All of them combined cost little under 500 coins since they are regular books that don't contain magic or some sort of secret knowledge, there are possibly hundreds of thousands of copies laying around their original worlds, and their store cost change between 1 to 3 coins.
After buying them I started to search for a cheap spell list to complete wind magic. While wandering at the store I saw a couple of wind style jutsus from naruto but they were slightly overpriced compared to their limited effects but seeing the just library I remember a special technique from the show
❃B Rank - Shadow Clone Technique: 40,000 coins and
❃A-Rank - Multiple Shadow Clone Technique: 120,000 coins
I decided that after completing the wind magic these two will be my new goals to be bought in the store.
Getting done with the Jutsu section I keep looking through the pages for wind spells and after 15 minutes I managed to make a full list.
❃Whirlwind Cloak: 500 coins
❃Wall of Winds: 300 coins
❃Wind Bullet: 30 coins
❃Wind Blade: 230 coins
❃Wind Rune: 60 coins
❃Wind Arrow: 40 coins
❃Wind Spear: 80 coins
❃Muffle: 100 coins
❃Blessing of Wind: 600 coins
Overall I spent 1940 coins for wind spells and another 200 coins for the Analyze spell. I could buy large-scale spells like < Hurricane > but < Firestorm > does its job pretty good so there is no need to buy another big spell to consume my mana I would need later on for boss fights.
After buying the wind spells I quickly used them and create the Wind Magic skill. Since I barely used the spell <Gust> I bought on the first day, It barely reached level 4 so after the rest of the spells combined with it, the Wind Magic started at the lowest point, Common tier level 1.
*Groans*
"Ughhh! Where Am I?"
Oh? I guess the kid woke up. I better get out of this fire. If the first thing he sees after waking up is a man sitting on the fire and trying to talk to him, he might have a small heart attack.

General POV
----------------------------
Hearing the voice of his guest Arthur quickly gets up from the campfire which he usually sits on and trains his fire resistance skills.
He dissipates the fire with a hand move and equips a new set of clothes from his inventory. After getting ready he entered the house to face the kid.
*Opens the door*
Scared from this sudden movement Korin shouts " Who's there?!? "
Hearing the shout, Arthur opens the door completely to let the light enter the room and then answer the question.
"Well, Hello there. My name is Arthur," said Arthur, and after seeing that the kid reacted to his word he relieved that they are speaking the same language.
The language problem was one of his worries about this world. When he met the burning figure that sends him to this world he was too excited to have cheat-like powers and to be able to travel the multiverse with that excitement of the moment he forgot the ask how would he communicate with those people in the vast multiverse.
Arthur guessed that since he has game-based powers and all the games he played he never meet a situation like not being able to communicate with NPC's because of a language barrier but since this is his real life and people he would meet would be real people. He worried a lot about this thing a lot.
He still doesn't know, are they speaking the same language or his ability translates automatically the words he spoke or spoken to him but that would take some time to figure out.
Looking at the man in front of him that ignoring his questions after the first one for the last minute. Korin shouted once again. "Hey, can you hear me? I'm talking to you?!?!"
Awoken from his thoughts Arthur answer him "Sorry, I don't remember how much time has been past since hearing another person speak so I was kinda overwhelmed with my thoughts."
After putting a small smile on his face, Arthur talked once again " You probably have some questions other than who am I, go ahead ask them, I'll do my best to give you some answers."
