Nameless band?

Li Xian finally stood up from his place and looked at the two bulky guys, who completely ignored his existence. That child is the only one who is still looking at him once in a while, as though checking what is going on with this fat brother.

He just thought about it in his mind. Soon, a lot of red spots appeared on the bulkiest guy with a panel. He again thought of removing all the red spots, which kind of surprised him with so many vulnerabilities on such a huge guy.

'Name: Ankara

strength: 2.1

agility: 1.4'

"Damn! This guy is kind of way strong compared to a normal person of even this era."

Li Xian commented, but he is not surprised as this guy is kind of huge, comparable to those heavyweight fighters.

He then fixed his gaze on the second man, who was slightly smaller than Ankara.

'Name: Lasang

strength: 1.7

agility: 1.5

specialty: Stone tool maker.'

"Strong! This guy is also quite strong, with even better agility than the big guy. Not to mention there is a specialty for him, which may add even more value to him."

Li Xian thought But he felt that the names of these guys made it kind of hard for him to even casually talk with them. He then shook his head before looking at the smallest child, which kind of surprised him.

'Name: Small bowl

useless'

There is no display of any other stats on this child, just a simple 'useless' word, which probably meant that he or she is of no use to anything as he or she is right now. To say it honestly, he or she does not even have enough strength to kill a chicken.

Li Xian isn't that surprised, as that 'it' is still a child. He slowly walked towards the tree and sat beside them without uttering another word, before placing his hands near the fire.

He isn't used to such cold temperatures, as this is still early morning and the temperature is like five or six degrees. Without any proper clothing and just a loincloth made of some animal, which he couldn't even recognize, it made him feel like crying.

Both the big guys gave him a glance before continuing to hold their hands near the fire. The child simply looked at this 'big bow' curiously, as 'it' felt like he was acting weird compared to yesterday.

"System! Tell me a bit about the situation here. You just dumped me here with no knowledge of how this guy lived previously or who I am. Am I still human? I mean Homo sapiens."

Li Xian asked as he felt the big guys aren't going to bother with him sitting here anymore.

He has some knowledge that human ancestry used to have many sub-branches. Along with their growing knowledge, some lineages evolved to become more suitable for ecosystems.

In the modern world, the only surviving species is Homo sapiens. But there are some strong proofs that some of those other lineages also survived until twenty-eight thousand years ago before going extinct.

Li Xian obviously doesn't know that many things, he just knows that he is a homo sapien of the hominin family, which he learned from his college time and extra studies.

'Ding! The host is currently in a band that neither has a single leader nor a name. It's a band consisting of 34 people, living together to survive in this wild by hunting the animals and also by scavenging plants, fruits, and whatever else can be suited for eating.'

The system slowly explained as it gave Li Xian a bit of time to process the information, before continuing again.

"Hm! That's kind of hard to survive without a proper leader to guide them. There will be many clashes with other families who may hold opposing views on various issues."

Li Xian mused to himself about how these people were still staying together despite the lack of a proper link connecting them all.

'Ding! The band mainly makes decisions by voting! And this band is also divided into two sections, one for hunters and the other for scavengers. The hunters have a kind of privilege to raise concerns or other issues, and they manage the majority of the things on this band.'

The system again explained, making Li Xian nod his head.

"Voting systems are present at such an early age too?" Li Xian exclaimed as he thought of those kings that will rule the kingdoms over and over, and then their descendants, without giving any chance at leadership to anyone outside their families.

He thought that was the process that came first, before evolving to the voting process to elect a leader or at least vote on something to decide on a matter, just like what is happening here.

Just that he has no idea how many changes occurred in this world before it came into being 4.5 billion years ago. How many mysteries are washed away in the river of time without leaving traces?

'Ding! About the host's body, the previous owner was named 'Big Bowl', which is naming many kids, who haven't achieved anything. Only those who have achieved something are allowed to have names in this band, such as the two big guys, and the rest are just names made up by their "guardians."

System explained, making Li Xian wonder why there is such a dumb rule, as according to him, a name is just a form of addressing.

"Do they, by chance, consider names as titles in the future world? And it's giving me similar vibes, hm?" Li Xian questioned himself, and System also didn't respond to this.

'Ding! Big bowl was an orphan picked up by Ankara when he used to scout around the area in a nearby cave along with his dead mother, who is probably malnourished and died in this harsh environment, after giving birth to him. The father of this man is also dead even before he is born, as he was also sent by the band as a decoy.'

"Damn! It's a shame that his parents are both dead, but it saves a lot of things. I'll just make it a point to assist this big guy, Ankara, whenever I can, to wash this karma away." Li Xian said to himself.

'Ding! The hominin families currently residing in this world consist mostly of Homo erectus. But a few remnants of Homo habilis are still surviving here and there. And the host is currently in one of the earliest bands of Homo sapiens, which may have a population of fewer than five or six thousand.'

system explained, making Li Xian sigh in relief as he doesn't want to evolve from something else to a modern-day human. That may make things more tedious, but now he has one less worry to take care of.

He didn't know the exact difference between each subspecies of human ancestry and how they were different from each other.

"System! Where am I exactly now? I mean in the future, geographical-wise." Li Xian asked curiously, as he wanted to know on which continent he was. His best guess is that he transmigrated somewhere in Africa, based on what the most popular geography channels show about this sort of thing.

'Ding! The host is currently in the Shangchen area of modern China. As of now, there is no name for this area.'

The system responded back, giving Li Xian a surprise. Just as he was about to ask more, he heard a commotion going on outside, which attracted all their attention. The two big guys stood up without saying another word before going out of the cave, while the little kid and Li Xian followed behind them without uttering a word.
