More World Building, Who Would’ve Guess
It has been 3 years since I have met Taku, Anna, Junpei, Shun and Kikyo. I still see them from time to time but they live in another district pretty far from where I live.
Taku, Junpei and Shun are older than me by like 2 years, so we didn't them as often as before since they have school. Also, Anna and Kikyo are a year older than me too, so they start going to school before I did.
So yeah, did not see them as often as before. And for the last 3 years, I somehow didn't get adopted.
On one hand, I felt relief. On the other, I should be offended.
Not to brag but I am like one of the cutest toddlers in the orphanage. (Those 15 Charisma stats are showing it now.)
And yet I somehow didn't get adopted but Timmy did? What the fuck, Timmy is like one of the most problematic kids in the orphanage. Not to mentions, he have an ugly mug of a face.
Yeah, Timmy is an ugly bastard with a terrible personality. And yet somehow, someway he still got adopted. But not me, the cutest toddler in the orphanage. Is it because he's a human and I'm not? If so that's fucking racist.
During the past 3 years, I did try out my [True Soul Sight] ability. It's like the whole world just turns the sensitivity up to twelve, which I don't even think was possible. Everything seems to slow down as I use my [True Soul Sight]. While everything slows down I was still able to move at my original speed.
It was an experience alright. I used this ability in a secluded location but I was still able to see people walking by. I can see their aura? Or is it ki, I don't know. Most were yellow, which designate as Neutral but some were red. I would avoid those people. there were very few that are green or blue though, I guess good people are hard to find these days.
This ability does strain my right eye quite a bit. Nothing major just a little uncomfortable stinging pain after prolong usage. Got the local orphanage doctor to check my right eye, he says that there is nothing wrong with it.
I even try my [Spatial Rift] ability, it was awesome. Just that it was a little disorienting. Nothing practices can't fix. I can teleport 3 times a day currently, which by logic is a good escaping ability. However, after that 3 casts, I can't force the 4th one. If force it, I kinda felt like wringing water out of a dry cloth. Yea, a very painful feeling.
And now I am currently 8 years old. It has been 3 productive years. I have been raising my skills proficiency, and even got some new skills like [ Literacy (Sianic) ](got it when I start learning how to write), [ Dodging ](got this when I try to dodge a hit from one of the matrons for being a pain in the ass), [ Acrobatics ](got this from attempting a triple axel backflip), etc.
Yeah, the last two skills attainment was not my greatest idea. I failed that dodge attempt by the way and took a hit to the sides. And the triple axel backflip? Well, let's just say that I fail horribly.
The et cetera(etc) skills were the lore specific skills like [ Lore (Supernatural) ], [ Lore (Plant) ] and [ Lore (Animal) ]. I even got a [ Geography ] and [ Medicine ] skills.
I have also accumulated a lot of general experience points from a bunch of random activities mostly from chores, games, and helping people. Enough to level up to Lv. 5 at least. I think I accumulated 10,000 general EXP something.
Let me tell you 3 years is a long time. I get at least 250 EXP every week, not to mention minor extra task also net me EXP. 10000 is a generous estimate, I mean I barely check my status window. Staring at a blue screen is not going to miraculously make me stronger.
But I should check my skills though, at least look at my skill benefits at least.

[ Skill Deletion will delete selected skill while refunding 50% of the proficiency points as unspent one. (The deleted skill can be relearned but only with momentous efforts.) ]
Huh, neat.

[ Name: Yuuji Sakato

Battle EXP: 0 ]
Barely any difference except in terms of stats, but my attribute points increase by 2. I also got 1 ability point. I wonder what I can use it for.
[ Ability points can be used to upgrade Class ability or use it to learn a new profession-related ability. ]
[ Ability upgrade: N/A ]
What??? WTF WHY?????????????
[ This profession offers no new ability or the requirement has not met to receive a new one. ]
So the Reincarnator profession is like a basic profession. Akin to that novel I read before where the players choose a beginner profession like Commoner, or Sage, or even Hermit. They chose the basic profession just before learning the actual combat profession.
I think it's like a background profession like in d&d where the players chose a background and they receive a bonus. This just makes it more game-like.
[ Profession: Reincarnator, the one who dies and reborn anew.
This profession was chosen based on suitability and having the requirement met. ]
Huh, that makes sense I guess. I did die after all. I'll save my EXP for now.
'Well, whatever' I thought as raise from the bed to start a new day.
<< linebreak >>
As per usual I wore my pendent, in black jeans that seems too big to fit my small body and wore a black tee that is large enough to fit me perfectly.
I walked along the road, seemly walk without a destination in mind. With a random thought playing in my mind.
Hey, did you know that this world has a compulsory educational system? Well, at least Sianic Alliance does.
Yeah, who would've guessed? I didn't.
It's 10 years of mandatory education starting from age of 8. There are 2 kinds of education systems going on in this country, private schooling and public schooling. Private schools cost a lot of money, but their teaching quality is also better. While public schools are government sponsors, so the cost of entering becomes negligible. Their teaching quality also drops inturn.
Guess, which school I'm enrolling in?
If you guess public school, then you're right cause I got no money. I live in an orphanage after all.
Here's the thing though, we kinda have a good system going on in this country, since the rate of illiteracy is very low here compared to other places.
The government provides subsidies for orphans and poor families. It's so that the children from there receive enough education to decide for themselves.
It's a free education system up until they finished high school in my opinion. Then they got to choose what they want to do in the future. Most inherited their family business. Some even applied for what a Uni in this world equivalent to. It's a specialized education for a specific career path.
However, we don't have any famous Uni schools in this country.
All theories and basics are taught in class. All the advanced stuff is taught in the Uni with specializing professors.
I guess, it isn't all that bad going to public school. And from what I heard there is a government program for really talented children around the age of 13. They would test the children according to physique and intelligence requirements. And those who score high enough would receive a scholarship for enrolling in a private academy.
5 more years, I hope the school won't be too boring in the main time.
By the way, today is my first day of school. The orphanage arranges the orphan to go to school with government subsidies. Yea although this place isn't modern, at least the government is encouraging kids to go to school.
My school is called Blue Harbor Public School. I don't know a lot about this school. It took about 20 minutes to walk from the orphanage to here. And from what I can see was that it's a pretty big school with a lot of wide space and a playground for kiddies.
"Hey Yuuji, are coming or what?", yelled the redhead from the front of me.
"Yea, stop dilly dally. Yuuji.", said the white hair girl walking past me.
Ah, I should also say that I'm not the only one going to this school from the orphanage. There are not a lot of children my age in the orphanage but that didn't there isn't at all.
In the orphanage, there are 2 girls in my age group. And that it. Yea it's very weird that I am the only orphan of that age in the orphanage until 3 years ago. It's like I'm cursed or something.
While I was practically raised in the orphanage these 2 girls aren't. The red hair one name is Sophie, and the white hair name is Eru.
Sophie has a well define feature, a round face but not to a point of being chubby, and with big amethyst colour eyes that seem to shine in delight. Along with a cute little nose, all in all, people might mistake her for a doll if she isn't so Hyperactive.
She wore single red sundress with little frills on her shoulders.
Eru on the hand is a quiet kid, she barely shows any emotion on her face most of the time. She possesses an angelic face, along with a thin blue eye akin to Asian-esque. She is a picture-perfect of the kuudere example. She is the complete opposite of Sophie, even though they got along just fine. If only she would smile more.
She wore a simple white blouses with blue skirts that is long enough to reached the knee.
They both got a healthy olive skin and were pretty small for a kid my age but nothing that eating more can't fix.
Their arrival was pretty abrupt actually.
That day was pretty rainy and it said that there will be a storm coming near the coast. Well, the storm did come, and it blew almost half port off the face of the earth. These 2 girls are the victim of the storm.
Sophie's father was a fisherman working at sea most of the time. She was often taken care of by her grandparents while her father was away. Well, her father was very unlucky. He set off the same day the storm was predicted to arrive. He didn't make it, her mother also dies giving birth to her. It's a good thing that she lived pretty far from where the storm hits.
While she still has her grandparents, they are too old to take care of her. So they decide to leave her with the orphanage. They probably know that they don't have long, since after 2 short years of leaving Sophie they died of old age.
For Eru though, she was a bit more miserable. Her home was a wreck by the storm, and she only survived because she was not home and away from the storm where the storm hits. Her parents didn't make it, my bodies were not even found.
It's been 3 years since I met these 2 girls and say for sure that they made a major improvement. When they first arrived, it was like the air is filled with depression and misery.
They sure are tough nut but to crack then. I felt at the time that I should help them. I mean I know what they are going through with me reincarnating and all. Losing everything that you hold dear, losing it and never had a chance to say goodbye.
It was a month of hard work. That I was able to get them to smile. I wish I could do more to be their pillar of support.
Still, the pain will never really go away but it can be lessened somewhat. That is what I'm trying to do to lessen their pain. Even just a little bit, I will be their friend until they don't need me anymore.
Now at least they are cheerful enough to go along with me. Dare I say we are friends.
"ah, wait for me. You know how I am with directions.", I quickly ran to them as seem to have walked away without me. Heading to the school as the bell rings.
Just in time.
<< linebreak >>
The first day of school is boring as expected. They taught the most basic shit, that I almost fell asleep in every class. What they taught today was math, basic sciences, history and some general knowledge of plants and beast. I'm packing my writing utensils in my bag as school just ended recently.
On the plus side, some of my skills receive some proficiency points from today's class.
But the most horrific thing was that combat and magic class are not available for the first year. They didn't even include anything remotely relate to magic, not even the foundation course.
AHHHHHHH, I'm dying to know more about it. I mean its real magic with fireball and everything. Which earthing wouldn't be engrossed at the possibility of learning magic.
Anything remotely interesting today was the history class since it's brand new history.
Well from what I'm told East Sianic Alliance is a country that is made of a collection of small countries that had joined together because of a necessity, rather than an actual alliance.
The way Sianic's government worked is by forming a council that will direct the direction of the country. Each of the collective countries would have won seats in the council. With one being a leading chairman, who would lead the meetings and be a final deciding vote in case of a tie in a bylaw.
For you see, East Sianic Alliance is bordered with the superpower country of this world.
The Holy Gaia Empire and as you can guess from the name. They are a religious nut. They believe in their own sets of deities. From their main god Gaia, whose domain is Life, Nature, and Purity. To a War God Zeruas, whose domain is War and Blood.
Yeah, gods are real here. As if this world isn't scary enough.
This world is about 50 times bigger than the earth, not to mention other planes exist here. There were fewer countries than the earth, so the resource is abundant.
The Holy Gaia Empire has many vassals states in the surrounding area, creating what seems like a Sinocentric society. Where each vassal answer to the heart of the empire.
From what I'm told during the history lesson, is that our country's border is located where China would be. And it would stretch north to Russia and stretch south to Singapore. Not in a perfect way mind you but from the reference of another world map.
Where I am currently located is appear to be similar to Japan but way larger. The Island is also not in any shape or way similar to Japan. What I meant was the location-wise is where japan supposes to be.
Anyway, the world was largely unexplored. Asides from countries that bordered together the lands were not fully explored.
For example on the Island, I am currently living on is also not fully explored yet. It is because of monsters and dangerous animals that make exploration harder and more dangerous.
That is why there is a need of employing Adventurers. Adventurer's main job was exploration of unknown territory. Sometime hunting monsters and dangerous animal, and even picking up herbs and medicinal plants.
Adventurers is a group that associate with an independent organization called Adventure Guild. The guild organize the request of the local populace and its reward, while taking 10% of the request reward for its functionality.
Basically the guild is acting as middle-man for the adventurers. They took request from the government body, without entangled with the politics.
The local government usually tried to launch an expedition to clear the surrounding area for farmland. Not every expedition was successful, often its riddle with the casualties. That is why Adventurer is a ludicrous profession because of the danger involve, however it's still a great way to earn money. Talk about fantasy-esque.
I am currently living in Edosia (the island names), in the harbour city of Umina. The length of the Sianic alliance, Edosia is always a major trading center because of the all-around seafaring access.
"Yuuji, let's go home.", said Sophie. She was already by the door with Eru.
"*sign Sure, just a moment.", I replied as I quickly pack up on the double.
"Interest day right? Sophi, Eru."
"Yeah, not really it's a bit boring if you ask me." That's because you are a tomboy Sophie.
"Hmm, it's okay." Would it hurt if you show more emotion Eru?
I signed as walk back with these 2 girls, while maintaining the conversation going. All in all, not a bad way to end the day.
