Celebrations. [Day 5]

Taking the magic core for later I continue to look around the bodies looking for any gear they have might have. Whilst doing this I also make sure to pick up the knife that I threw before.

Looking around the bodies I don't find anything of use for me except for a bow, spike club, and four swords all common quality.

I would say that it is around midnight right now, so I move the bodies outside the house then head in. Going upstairs I check all the rooms to see if there was anything else but there is not.

Going to the spare room I then sleep for the rest of the night.

With the sun just starting to reach through the window I am up and about heading downstairs.

Once outside I am meeting with a small group of people consisting of Valret, a woman and a little kid.

Me: "Morning Valret."

Valret: "Looks like everything worked out." He then walks up to me and shakes my hand.

Valret: "Thank you Lothran, really thank you. Like I promised you can come and experience mothers cooking as a celebration."

Me: "I won't pass up the opportunity for some breakfast."

I always did love my mothers cooking. It just seemed so much better than anything else.

Valret drags me in front of the woman.

Valret: "Lothran this is my mother Alssa, and this little guy is my brother Arnol." He says first pointing to the woman than the little kid.

The mother is quite beautiful with light brown fur and blue eyes whilst the little kid is sporting dark brown fur with blue eyes.

Alssa: "It is nice to meet you my son has talked about you all during the night. I don't know how you got my son to trust you so much, but it seems that his faith was not misplaced."

Feeling a tugging from my arm I look down to see that Arnol is tugging it and asking me to come down to his level. Kneeling I let him talk into my ear.

Arnol: "Can I play with your dogs?" He asks whilst playing with his fingers.

Looking at the wolves I can see that they came out of the house and are now playing in the grass rolling over each other.

Me: "Nock yourself out."

He runs off whilst thanking me and immediately running towards Rex.

Alssa: "Don't worry they won't harm him." I say whilst looking towards Alssa.

After a while, Alssa can see that Arnol is having fun and is in no danger.

Valret: "Come on let's go and eat."

So, we head for their house with us walking and Arnol riding on the back of Rex whilst he plays with his fur.

Whilst walking I decide to get the EXP notifications out the way.

Walking through the village, I can see that most of the houses are of bad quality with parts falling off or roofs parts missing. Once at the house I can see that it is a humble place and is slightly better than the houses around and not completely falling apart.

Entering inside it is like the houses in the abandoned village with just a dining room with a kitchen then a door leading to a corridor that has two doors for two bedrooms.

Alssa: "Welcome to our humble abode."

Me: "Thank you for inviting me."

Once inside I could see that the table is made, and food was already prepared which was what looked to be a rabbit soup with some lettuce and water. For the wolves were stripes of cooked meat.

We then all sat down and had breakfast and for a meal with basic ingredients it was good, I have had worse meals. The broth was rich in the taste of the rabbit as the rabbit bone was most likely used to make the broth, but it tasted good.

Valret: "If you don't mind me asking Lothran how did you manage to fight the boss when there is a difference in evolution."

Me: "Well I believed that if the boss is taking EXP from people then he is most likely not levelling up his skills so with my better skills and class to him then I was pretty confident I could beat him in a fight."

Valret: "It is very fortunate of you to get a class most people like us don't get them."

Me: "I also heard the boss mention that what was he on about."

Valret: "Well getting a class is not difficult it is more awkward for lower class people to get. First, you need to have equipment at the Uncommon level in whatever class you want to unlock. Then you need to have two skills in the class and finally, you need to gain some form of EXP specific to the class. For example, if you want to be a swordsman you need an Uncommon sword, sword foot control skill and weapon control skill then kill something using a sword and that will get you the class. Poor people like us can't get Uncommon grade equipment."

Me: "Why does the system not tell us this kind of thing."

Valret looks at me confused before answering.

Valret: "Well why would it, it is not trying to help you. All it does is give rudimentary information about things, and you then work out things for yourself."

Me: "What about ranks as I noticed races with different ranks."

Valret: "That is typically when you get to certain levels your rank will increase a level. Skills and classes or such don't get represented in the rank again the system or more specifically the inspect is not trying to help you it just gives the rudimentary information."

It does look like the system hates not just me but everyone.

After a nice breakfast we clean up the table and I am told by Valret that he is going to tell everyone in the village that the bandits are gone and that I should probably meet with the important people of the village as they will want to thank me.

With nothing better to do, I just tell him to meet me at the bandit house, so we have enough room to meet.

With that, I thank them again for the breakfast and head for the bandit house. I should probably stop calling it that seeing how the bandits are dead. On the way back I decided to quickly look at my stats.
