Chapter 5: Almost there

 The little soul went into a deep sleep for a long time, cultivating both its own and partners mana pool at a rapid rate. The amount of time that passed was two months after Saffiyah woke up. As time flew by, the unknown due date approached. The meeting Maxim called with the adventurers, elders, and the people went not so smoothly, causing a lot of panic and worry amongst the weaker villagers, and putting the stronger individuals on edge. A couple days later, a messenger from the closest kingdom, The Kingdom of Salavaria, arrived with dire news that there had been a lot of reports of cursed beasts appearing, and that the situation may get worse. 

 In response, there was a workforce that set up a wall around the village as well as multiple watch towers that had shifts, and were working on an underground safe room just in case. From then on, Maxim would train his son with more intensity while Aarons mother would teach him better mana control and magic manifestation. The young Aaron made a lot of improvement and jumped to the next ranks for all of his stats, going from F to E Rank in stats, while his CORE jumped to D Rank. This progress was fast compared to most people, his mastery and experience in combat grew greatly, as well. All of this was stimulated due to the past events involving the Wolf.

 The village did not have many problems, the only changes were the increase in monster population and traveling merchants coming in much slower due to the increase in danger. The retired adventure population of the village however increased due to injuries and the increase of monsters brought about more wealth to the more experienced adventurers. Growing the overall power of the village and its neighbors. 

 While Max was in another meeting with the other adventurers discussing plans and countermeasures, Aaron came running into the meeting hall. Aaron: "DAD, MOM IS GOING INTO LABOR". Max hearing this immediately took off, arriving at his house with Aaron on his back in a flash.

 *Inside*

 For the first time, the little soul heard another voice. While still being in his partner's mana pool, he noticed that his partner was waking up, although with a weird emotion which flooded his mana pool. His partner returned back to his body, when all of a sudden, there was a load of pain. Trying to leave his partner's mana pool was not possible as the little soul was trapped. "Grimoire is your name, little soul", said a mysterious voice that Grimoire couldn't focus on due to the pain. Eventually, after enduring all the pain, Grimoire went into a deep sleep for a week.
