Placing Everything Together

'System.' With that, a transparent blue screen materialized in front of him.

He was fascinated by all of this at first glance, but Mike was a novel eater so he was only a little astonished and excited for a few moments and that's about it.

Chokatabra skill: invisibility [description]

Noticing the added skill, Mike knew what it meant but he still checked its description to know the details about its use.

[Invisibility] ( can be used while fighting): one of chokatabra's skills that without it he would have long perished with how wanted he was, it allows you to remain invisible for a period of 1 minute, cooldown: 5 minutes. the skill will get stronger with each tier advancement.

Note: stronger people than you can sense your existence around them, while stronger people than those can directly see through your skill.

' I should thank that demon for attempting to possess me, or else I wouldn't have gotten this big gift from the beginning ' Mike mused for a moment.

Thinking up to this point, he went to check the things he needed to know to clarify his doubts, so he whispered in his mind, 'system shows me what's MP '

With that, another window popped up in front of him.

[MP]: Magical power that every person has to cultivate if they wish to get stronger, Every person has magical power since the day they were born but it can only be detected or be manipulated if the person cultivates it.

Seeing this, Mike wasn't amazed but he still wanted to ask something.' And how do I increase my magical power through cultivation.'

[Host needs to remain in a lotus position and start concentrating on the air around him, and at some point, depending on your affinity with mana ( talent) you will start feeling tingling sensations on your skin, and all you have to do at that point is to start absorbing those little specks of lights that you will be able to see at that point of time and circulate them inside of your body to do a full rotation from head to toe, that's only the basics of it, so the host will need to learn the rest by himself].

[since the host has the system with him, solely by killing magical creatures you can increase your level and MP and advance in tiers ].

Mike understood the logic behind it but he still had to try it out later. After all, he just reincarnated here. Hence he has to try and figure out a little about his circumstances and then start his journey of getting stronger.

Thinking up to this point, Mike decided to go out and check how is it outside. But upon opening the door and walking a little far from his house, he was a little bit dissatisfied by how primitive his house looked.

Even though he already saw it in his body's memories, observing it with his own eyes is still a completely different experience.

' Well, this is another world so I can't help it I guess, I have to get used to those primitive things. And I'm still in a village after all so the towns and cities might be way cooler than this plain sight.' He didn't care much as he quickly started observing his surroundings.

His Room was a little far from the main house, it was plain looking from the outside with nothing extraordinary about it since it is only made of wood while only being 2 meters in width and height.

A few trees were placed in front of his room that weren't so tall as they had just been planted there, but they were almost withered cause of the cold since it was winter.

A small mansion was located next to him to the right, which Mike assumed that it's the main building where his parents live.

It was also made from wood, a two-story building that looked quite antique, and nothing else was eye-catching about it since it was simple and crude.

The territory itself was only two-basketball terrain worth of size, but understanding their clan's condition he wasn't that surprised.

The whole house area was circled by a stone wall that towered over 4 meters and in the middle of it stood a bronze-looking gate.

His family was wealthy at some point, but his father lost almost all of his money in gambling over an arena fight in the city which led them to move from the city to this village cause of the pressure from the other noble families, so they bought this piece of land with the money they had left.

But what surprised Mike the most now wasn't his house or family condition.

But it was the fricking Dragon. It was so massive that he can see it clearly from this far but unable to tell its size since it was a little hard cause of the distance between them.

But what surprised him even more than that was that above that huge dragon stood a middle-aged man. Standing there like he is riding a bus and not mounting a dragon.

The size of the dragon cannot be measured from this distance but there is no problem seeing the middle-aged man since they weren't that far up anyway.

He instantly checked the memories that he gained to see if this is an everyday thing. And he did indeed foresee such an answer to his question.

He saw that it is indeed a normal occurrence that takes place a few times each month and according to his father, the powerful existence behind their empire subdued a middle-sized dragon's tribe and made them work for his Empire in transportation.

Transporting goods and people all over the ancient River's Empire, but this privilege only goes to Nobles or people who have enough money to afford it, but since only nobles can afford it, then only those who will dare to hire a dragon as a vehicle cause of how much it costs.

Sadly the father of this body doesn't know the details about the cost and other details, since he was only a low-ranking noble barely getting by in the city, and that's why he was gambling all of his money so that he could perhaps change his fate by chance.

Pushing the matter of the dragon taxi to the back of his mind, Mike started to concentrate on the most important thing to do right now.

Which is to get out of this village and go try out his skill in the forest and maybe get some levels if things weren't that hard.

Jessica called out to her big brother upon seeing him leaving the house.

" Mike where are you going early this morning, take me with you, or don't blame me for the consequences."

Upon reaching the door of the house to go out, he heard a girl's voice calling out to him from behind.

Turning around, he saw an above-average-looking girl that's about 17 years old, she was wearing a skirt with few holes in them and a shirt that looks like it didn't get washed for some time, or maybe it simply got worn and washed a lot that it now looks like it's going to detonate by itself. She had black long hair that extended to her waist matched with brown big eyes and a small pointy nose.

Mike answered Jessica with a smile" I'm going to the forest to gather some wood for tonight, it's not fun for girls like you, you don't have to come."

Jessica almost burst out from laughter upon hearing him.

She mocked while trying her best to hold her laugh " You are getting bullied by guys younger than you, and yet you dare to go to the forest at this time, stay in the village or else they might get you there, didn't you learn your lesson already".

The girl knew that he is going to the forest since he does that almost every day, but she just wanted to go with him so she can witness him getting beat up.

After seeing how the other boys are in the village and comparing them to her brother, especially the guy she loves.

she started to feel disdain towards Mike over the years and eventually, she started to look down on him because of how useless and weak he is, even a young girl like her is trying hard to work and get money for the house while trying hard to get stronger.

But her brother can't get a fixed job because the other boys will beat him up whenever he tried to and her parents can't do anything about it since the other boy's families are stronger.

And her brother had no talents in magic nor martial arts unlike the others in the village, the majority of them they indeed didn't have magic power but they did learn some martial arts from their families.

However, her brother is basically useless and can only gather wood, and even gets beat up while being at it, so he is forced in giving half of what he gathers every day to his bullies.

Seeing the almost bursting out-of-laughter face of his little sister and the disdain contained in her eyes, Mike didn't know how to react in such a weird situation caused by the old owner of this body, so he simply said smiling " I will still go and gather the wood if you wanna come with me I don't mind it, the more the better after all".

He didn't care about this little sister of his, he was simply thinking of gathering enough money to get himself some decent books and a weapon so he can get out of this village as soon as possible.

' Sister huh? hehe, let's simply hope she comes back alive today. Of course, it's only if she steps on the line where she shouldn't, because I'm not interested in getting into trouble without even having the strength to start it ' he mused with the thought of that for a few moments.

Mike's looks are only average at best, a white face with dark eyebrows. He has long jet-black hair, never combed behind his head, as well as, ordinary, dark eyes. He wears a black tattered robe, and no girl will take a second glance at him whenever they spot him.

Mike was never the good guy in his past life, remember the robbery death that we talked about? He was the leader of that group, and after they stole money from the bank, his group betrayed him, killed him, and took his portion of the money which was the biggest. Because that was their last operation before they quit the robbing business.

Even though Mike had a job, it was never enough to make him live in the city, after all, he was just working in a shop next door.

Mike's biggest reason for not going out of line in his past life and simply sticking to his job and robbing and not joining gangs and the mafia, was cause of the law and the high risk of jail, at least that's what he thought.

With just robbing and fleeing, and with enough skills and planning, it was never hard to rob banks or people. of course, it's still risky, but he was lucky and never got caught.

So placing Mike in a fantasy world where the powerful rules and the weak be ruled upon is like putting a lion in a sheep's house .of course he is not that foolish as to do whatever he wants without getting stronger first. And he isn't a murderer or anything of that sort, but for his benefit, he will do anything.

' But first, what I need to do now is to understand the magic power, martial arts, and the system of this world, before planning my next step, and that's why it's time for me to head to the forest to level up a little '.
