Chapter 02

Zane's estimate was right. Not long after he walked north, the young man could see a small village surrounded by a wooden fence.

He walked towards it, intending to find food and a place to sleep for the night. Zane also wanted to learn more about the world he was transported to and why he got this cheat-like skill.

"Stop right there!"

As Zane approached the gate, one of the village gatekeepers suddenly shouted, brandishing a spear with a fierce look.

Zane instinctively raised his hands.

"Who are you? Tell us your identity!" the village gatekeeper yelled with a judgmental tone.

"I'm an adventurer passing through by accident. I haven't eaten, and it's already night, so I'd like to stay in the village for just tonight," Zane explained his intentions without any deception.

The two gatekeepers then looked at each other, as if discussing whether they should let this stranger in or drive him away.

"Please, kind sirs! Look, I'm injured from a monster attack, and out there, monsters want to tear me apart."

Zane showed the scratches on his arm that he had inflicted on himself before coming here to convince the gatekeepers, but they seemed unaffected and suspicious of Zane.

The young man was running out of ideas. He was so hungry that he couldn't think straight anymore. He was about to faint from exhaustion.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

Out of the blue, a man's voice echoed from behind Zane, catching the attention of the three people there. They turned to see a middle-aged man approaching, carrying a bag filled with potatoes.

"Hello, Village Chief. We're interrogating this stranger. He claims to be an adventurer running out of food and wants to stay the night in the village. But we're suspicious and haven't allowed him in yet," explained one of the guards, making the middle-aged man turn towards Zane.

Zane nodded respectfully. The man looked quite fit, though Zane knew he wasn't young anymore. "Hello. Sorry for my rudeness, Village Chief. But I'm not lying at all, grooooooooowl—"

Unexpectedly, Zane's empty stomach growled again, causing the other three to suddenly fall silent before bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha! He's really hungry!"

"I thought he was just joking. Haven't you eaten in 3 days?"

"Haha... Come on, lad, come to my house. My wife happens to have cooked dinner, and she won't mind one more mouth to feed," invited the village chief. Zane wasn't in a position to be modest; he was too hungry to feel embarrassed. The young man then scratched the back of his head while chuckling softly.

"Ah... sorry, Village Chief. I'll trouble you and your wife for tonight."

Zane and Andrew, the head of Sensher village, strolled towards Andrew's house at the back of the village.

"So, you got attacked by a monster on your journey, and it wiped out half your memory?" Andrew looked surprised hearing Zane's tale, not remembering where he came from.

"Poor you. I know there are dangerous monsters outside the village that could threaten lives. That's why I never allowed my wife or daughter to leave the village. I feel sorry for your memory loss," Andrew said, patting Zane's shoulder with a sympathetic gaze.

"You have a daughter?" Zane asked.

"Yes, she turns 16 next month. She's my only daughter, and I cherish her a lot. Next year, she'll continue her education in the nearest town."

"Good for you, Village Chief." Zane smiled faintly, then got intrigued by the word 'town' mentioned by Andrew. "By the way, where is the nearest town from this village?"

"The nearest town is Ambrosia, about 10 kilometers away. It takes 2 to 3 hours by train or 6 hours on foot. It's quite bustling there. Maybe you can look for quests or join a guild there."

Zane nodded in understanding. Tomorrow morning, he would head to Ambrosia. Perhaps Zane could gather more information about this world and figure out how to survive here. Return to the real world? Zane wasn't interested. He already had cheat skills here, so why go back to being a boring person with an empty bank account there?

"We've arrived. This is my house."

Andrew's words made Zane look up, and he saw a simple house made of sturdy bricks standing in front of him. Smoke rose from the house's chimney, indicating that there was life inside.

"Come in, I'll introduce you to my wife and kids," Andrew invited, opening the door. Zane followed the man awkwardly, it was his first time entering someone's home for a meal and sleep. Oh, this was really embarrassing for Zane's pride.

"I'm home."

"Welcome home, dear."

However, Zane's ears twitched as he heard a sweet and feminine voice from inside the house. When he looked up, Zane saw Andrew briefly hugging a beautiful woman, around her 40s but still having a good body posture and a lovely face with a mole under her eye. Zane could even guess the woman's body shape from her clothes, making the young man unable to swallow saliva.

'No, Zane. You've been given food and a place to sleep. Don't think about doing weird things!'

"Hmmm, did you cook curry tonight?"

"Oh, how did you know that?"

"Of course, I know. I can guess my beloved wife's cooking just from its smell."

"Uhh, stop it, dear. You make me shy."

They exchanged flirtatious expression, making Zane feel awkward and wanting to wait outside.

"Ummm... dear? Who's the young man behind you?"

"Oh! Right, I almost forgot. Laura, meet Zane, a lost adventurer. He's looking for a place to stay, so I offered him to sleep and have dinner here. Is that okay?"

"Ara... poor thing. Of course, it's okay. Luckily, I cooked a lot of curry tonight. You can join us for dinner, Young Man."

Zane nodded. "Thank you very much, Mrs. Laura. I won't forget your kindness."

"No problem, fufufu. If my husband says you're good, then it must be true. Because my husband can't lie."

"You really..."

"Fufufu..."

'Ah, they're teasing each other again.' Zane let out a bland chuckle, listening to the husband and wife's conversation. 

Zane joined the small family for dinner, and he got introduced to Steva—Andrew and Laura's only daughter. Steva looked a lot like Laura, but she was a bit snobbish. After that, Zane was given a guest room to spend the night. He lay on the bed, staring at the room's ceiling.

"I need to find a job and survive in this world. Should I hunt monsters? Or just work for someone else?" the young man wondered, imagining his future. With this cheat skill, he could easily defeat monsters and make money by selling monster body parts or finding treasures. "Hmm, I've decided to hunt monsters! But... I can't go like this. I need to buy new gear and stock up on food for the journey."

Zane glanced at the mirror in the room and realized that his appearance hadn't changed much.

His face remains the same, but his body has become much more muscular and his penis, for some reason, can be considered quite large, even extremely large. This makes Zane struggle to control himself. He's like wanting to fuck and cum for hours.

"Haaaaah... Thinking about all this is making me dizzy. I think I'll just sleep now..."

Just as Zane is about to close his eyes and prepare to sleep, he suddenly hears a loud moaning sound from the floor above.

"Ohhh! Unnnngh! Ah! Ahhhh!"

The moaning sound is so arousing that it makes Zane's dick hard inside his pants.

"Damn, is the Chief fucking his wife up there?"
