CHAPTER 28- Buying clothes. Part 1.

CHAPTER 28- Buying clothes. Part 1.

Ah, it's being a quiet day. It is quite relaxing. Being the hero Dreimo did not have this tranquility because everyone wanted to greet me and offer me their daughters and sisters ... What happens to the people of this world? Why are they so drawn to power? I don't know.

But it doesn't seem so weird to me either. Humans are always looking for ways to adapt and improve. But being drawn to power, both socially and sexually, is just too weird and uncomfortable.

Oh, someone came into the library. I have to be on the lookout if he needs help or a beating, depending on whether he's a man and tries to flirt with Yuik.

I closed the book I was reading and looked to my right ... Ah, how adorable. A little cat girl. I love the beastmen of this world. They are very adorable. I wish to adopt one, but it is illegal ... Oh, that reminds me that I had two Gods as pets and forced them to behave like dogs ... Wow, I was really very sick in the past.

She came up to me and I had to look down to see her eyes.

"Good morning, Dreimo, nya."

Does she know me? Wow. Have I already become popular with women? Now the next step is to fall in love with a single mother.

Joking aside, I have to work.

"Good morning, girl. Looking for a storybook? Any specific genre?"

"I'm looking for a medical book. I want to know how colds are cured, nya."

"Oh. Is your mom sick?"

"My sister is, nya. Her head is boiling and she has no energy to get out of bed."

I see... Oh, how adorable! A little girl wants to help her sister. Is this the famous sister love? It is very nice.

Mmm... How is that cured? I think world 15 is cured with hot food and rest, but that depends on the severity of the disease.

... Wait... Ah, I think I recognize the soul of this girl. Yes, I remember her, she is the girl I gave food to. She is very poor, so I don't think she has the money to buy hot food.

Mmm... What do I do?

"P-pretty ..."

Huh?

Yuik came over to us and patted the girl's head.

"Hello?"

Wow. Yuik likes cute things too. Excellent taste, Yuik.

"Colds can be cured with warm food and rest. You must make sure that your sister is resting and well covered. There is a store that sells medicinal plants for making tea. Drinking the tea will help her recover."

I took several coins out of my pocket. Mmm... 250 Sanks will be enough for her to buy the ingredients for the meal. Medicinal herbs will cost at least 120 Sanks ... I will give her 400 Sanks.

"Here, buy the ingredients to make hot soup and for the medicinal plants. On leaving the library, two streets to the left, there is a store where they sell medicinal plants. They are cheap, but the quality is good."

"A-are you giving me money?"

"I'll do my good deed for the day. Don't worry, I like to help. When your family recovers financially they will be able to pay me, although it is not necessary. Take the money, please."

"T-thanks, nya! S-someday I'll pay you back!"

"Like I told you, it's not necessary. Right, Yuik?"

Yuik nodded as she continues to pat the girl's head. So envious, I want to pet her head too, but I don't want her to think I'm a pervert.

•

The girl stayed with Yuik talking and I walked away from them. I want Yuik to start socializing, and I was surprised that she patted that girl's head. She took action. Is it because she is a little girl? I don't know, but it was easy for Yuik to get close to her.

Ah, the innocence of a child is incredible.

That's why I gave that girl money, as a thank you.

Now we're making progress. Yuik can socialize with that little girl without a problem. She doesn't look shy.

I think the only downside will be to socialize with men. For obvious reasons, she hates men. I think I have to wait two years for her to start to overcome that trauma.

"You're too good, Dreimo. But remember that you are not rich."

"Hello, boss. Did you see what happened? Sorry, I couldn't help it. It was my way of thanking that girl. Yuik grew fond of her."

"But that doesn't mean you can give your money away just for that."

"I just did my good deed for the day."

"Ah. It's your money, do what you want ... By the way, I've been avoiding this question, but I can't help asking anymore. What trauma does your sister have? Her fear of talking to other people, especially men, is not normal for someone her age. Why is she afraid?"

—... "Boss, I'm sorry, but I'll never tell you, and don't ask Yuik either. Please do not do it. It is something too painful for her, I prefer to avoid letting others know about her situation."

"Yes, I see. Sorry, I won't ask anymore."

"Thank you for your understanding."

•

•

(Pov- Max.)

I threw the pack of cigarettes in the trash. Only one was enough to make me realize that I really don't want to smoke.

It left a horrible taste in my mouth. This is the last time I smoke.

"Welcome, darling. How did your meeting go?"

"He scolded me again for adding another female character who is not a virgin, I had to modify her story. Well, it hardly affects the main story, but I still don't understand what he has against non-virgin women. "

"And did you show him my writing?"

"Yes. He told me he was going to read it and give you his opinion. To be honest, the only problem I can find is that the main character is a bit of a coward, but the rest is fine for me."

"Perfect! Sit down, dinner is ready."

•

•

We sat down to dinner together.

This situation is nice. I would like to have more days like this... Ah, that's right, I must meet with that Goddess.

I wonder if time in the other world moves slower compared to this world. I don't want my girlfriend to suspect that I'm cheating on her or something like that for disappearing for so long.

[Training will start in 30 minutes.]

Wow... It feels weird to hear a voice in my head. I think the Goddess does not want my girlfriend to find out about my situation.

It will be difficult to keep the secret hidden, but I will try.

•

•

There are 5 minutes until the training begins. I must hurry.

"Violet, listen, I know this will sound weird, but could you do me a favor?"

"Of course."

"Have my smartphone. The stopwatch is on. I found that I can write faster in the bathroom and in silence. It's just a theory, but I think I feel calmer, I don't know why. While I'm in the bathroom, please don't come in. I'll write about 10,000 words and get out. Can I count on your help? I just want you not to go into the bathroom."

"Of course!"

I handed her my smartphone.

"Thank you."

I got a notebook and pen from one of the kitchen drawers.

"I'm ready."

"Won't you go into the bathroom with the computer?"

"No, I'll just do the planning of some events in my novel."

I went into the bathroom and closed the door ... Well, I went in without the computer and without the smartphone. There's no way she thinks I'm cheating on her. And the bathroom window is too small for me, she won't suspect that I escaped through the window either. Perfect.

"I want to change the world."

The magic door appeared. Well, when I walk through the door, my adventure will begin. Today I will not carry my smartphone because I will only train with the Goddess. When my training with the Goddess is over, I will begin to carry my smartphone to take pictures of the world and its species.

I opened the door and entered.

The door returned to the ground and I looked around ... Nothing, just boring trees. I wonder if the animals of this world are more rare or dangerous. Will there be goblins and Orcs?

... Ah, that's right, I had forgotten this.

My body changed. I feel small in this girl's body. I look like a 15 year old flat teenager ... And I don't know why I'm wearing a mini skirt. Black mini skirt, long white stockings, a red blouse and heart earrings ... I look too feminine.

"Goddess, is this necessary?"

"Fufu. If you're going to be a woman, at least try to look pretty."

The Goddess appeared in front of me and I knelt down.

"Are you ready?"

"I just have one question. Does time move slower or faster in this world compared to my original world?"

"Slower. An hour here is 10 minutes in your world."

"I see."

That means if I am here 24 hours, it will only be 4 hours in the other world. Yes, this may work better than I thought.

"And how do we start, Goddess?"

"First you must choose the unique skills you want to have. You can have 2."

A large table with the names of the skills appeared in front of me.

"There are 100 skills available. Choose very well."

"Yeah, thanks."

I started reading the skills ... [Sword master]... [Master tamer] ... No... Neither is that ... [DemiSghoul] ... [Vampire]... No... I already read all of them. Honestly, none of the skills caught my eye.

I must think carefully about my choice. I must choose the skills that I think will be useful to me to survive in this world. I can't pick up skills simply because they seem appealing to me by name.

"Goddess, may I know what each skill does?"

"Sure, just touch the skill."

"Thank you."

I touched the [Shadow Master] skill.

[Shadow Master: Title bestowed upon beings who control darkness.]

Control the darkness ... That sounds quite nice.

[Anti-Magic: Allows the wielder to cancel all magic that his eyes see.]

[Death attribute: Magic that allows the bearer to control ghosts.]

[Double experience points: Skill that allows the bearer to obtain double the number of experience points.]

That seems very useful to me.

"Goddess, are there levels here?"

"Yes. You can obtain skills by killing monsters or by fulfilling certain requirements. And those skills level up."

"I see."

•

•

I read all the skills. Most of them seemed very useful, that's why I spent 7 hours thinking.

The Goddess fell asleep on the floor while I made my decision. This is an important decision, I had to reflect a lot on my choice so as not to regret it later. I visualized the different situations in which I could use those skills.

After some thought, I decided to choose [Shadow Master] and [Double Experience Points.]

I chose [Double Experience Points] to be able to gain more skills in a short time and improve them. And I chose [Shadow Master] for its darkness magic. There were skills that granted me light magic, sacred swords, bows, shields, and so on. But I stuck with [Shadow Master] for its convenience. I am sure that the magic of darkness will allow me to gain skills that could be considered "evil", like controlling the dead or something like that. And I want to specialize in stealth and ranged attacks. Fighting in a one-on-one fight with Dreimo is a bad idea. I cannot attack him with a sword or with my fists. I decided to attack him from a distance.

"I will choose [Shadow Master] and [Double Experience Points.]"

[Skill "Shadow Master" obtained.]

[Title "Shadow Monster" obtained.]

["Level 5 Whip" and "Level 5 Shadow Trap" skills obtained.]

[Skill "Double experience points" not available.]

Huh?

There must be a mistake.

"Goddess, Goddess."

I tried to wake her up with my hands. I hope she doesn't get mad at me for touching her.

"Eh? Have you finished?"

"I can't choose "Double experience points." Something says it is not available."

"Then choose another."

"Why can't I choose that skill?"

"Will you keep asking stupid questions?"

—... "No, sorry."

Mmm... I already had one, I must have one more.

Then I'll choose ... [Death attribute] I find it very interesting ... No, there is another better skill.

[DemiSghoul: Undead who controls the Ghouls.]

Are they the same Ghouls that I know?

Mmm... Yes, I will choose it.

"I choose [DemiSghoul.]"

["DemiSghoul" skill obtained.]

[Title "King of the Ghouls" obtained.]

["Regeneration level 5" and "Ghoul Force level 10" skills obtained.]

["Ghoul Force level 10" improves to "DemiSghoul Force level 1.]

"Well, I am the King of the Ghouls. I'll look for them later."

"Fufu. You chose skills related to negative energy. I like it. Why don't you test your skills?"

"I will try."

I close my eyes and try to imagine a whip.

"Whip!"

I open my eyes and see my right hand.

Wow... Some kind of black whip appeared in my hand, but it looks ... smooth. It's almost transparent ... I see. It is a shadow.

"I wonder if it will work."

I hit a tree. The damage it left behind is quite considerable. It's like I hit it 10 times with an axe.

"Shadow trap!"

Shadow tentacles began to emerge from my own shadow.

"Mmm..."

A victim... A victim... I can see it.

"Attack that squirrel."

The tentacles went towards that poor squirrel and ... Ah... Ouch... Fuck... I think they exaggerated. They crushed her until they took out everything inside her.

"But at least it works."

I approached the tree. Time to test my new strength.

"Strength!"

I hit the tree and my fist went through the trunk ... Ah... S-shit, I'm strong, but it hurt.

I withdrew my hand ... Ah, my fingers are broken. I think my body still doesn't adjust to my new strength.

["Max" levels up.]

[Level 2.]

[Level 3.]

[Level 4.]

My fingers regenerated ... I'm feeling fine now... Oh, I leveled up from the experience I got from using my skills. I see.

I'm level 4 ... I guess that's a good thing, considering I'm just getting started.

"Are you ready for training, Max?"

"Yes... I am ready."
