Chapter 8: The Slumber

There are countless dead grass rats all across the vast wilderness.

After over three hours of Uno providing these grass rats everlasting rest, the sky is starting to get brighter. Uno killed off 48 Alpha Grass Rats along with 786 Grass Rats.

Uno laughed and said. "What a cheat title! AHAHHAHA."

Uno then checked his progress and his [Personal Information] was displayed.

Uno said joyfully, "Hmm... I can now unwind and sleep all day."

Uno did inspect Ruscuro's wooden staff, but it had no information. It was brought by Uno because it could also be used as a club or stick.

A notification was heard when the morning sun was rising.

.

DING!!!

Uno yelled, "YES!" A skill book with a crimson cover then materialized in Uno's left palm. Then, a prompt appeared.

.

[𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧] [𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧]

.

Uno selected [𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧] and screen pops-up

.

"Fuck! 15+ increase in strength and I luckily avoid having some debuff after usage. AHAHHAHA ONE HIT DREAM IS BECOMING REALITY!!!" Uno celebrated.

Uno then learned the skill book as he felt the night's weariness. Uno stared at the [Breeze Village] and sighed.

Uno expressed as he approached the village, "Finally, a decent 'night' rest."

.

The village's wooden gate just so happened to open as Uno approached.

Uno's eyes narrowed as he noticed someone waiting within the town. Given that sunrise is just around the corner, it is still rather dark.

"Hello, young man. I am Sinro, the village head," the individual who spoke said.

Uno thought, "What the fuck?"

Sinro continued and said, "I am aware that you achieved 'Bane of the Grass Rat' and you were already aware of the Lost Village."

Uno thought, "What in the fuck!"

Sinro stared at Uno, who was not speaking, with wide-eyed intensity.

"We need to talk about this discreetly, so follow me" Sinro stated.

.

DING!!!

Uno unintentionally expressed the expression "Huh?" and went after Sinro. The inhabitants of the village are still peacefully asleep, but Uno spotted a bowl-haired individual who is currently exercising.

When the bowl-haired person noticed Uno, he smiled and waved at him. Uno waved back at the individual.

Creak...

Sinro gestured for Uno to enter as he unlocked the fine-wooden house's wooden door. After Sinro, Uno entered the house.

The brown bowl-haired person was taken aback by what he saw.

.

The fine-wooden house's interior is actually rather nice. It contained a single side bed, two cushioned seats, and a table.

Sinro said, "Please take a seat."

Uno nods and takes a seat.

.

DING!!!

Uno seemed to be drifting off and Sinro said, "You accomplished an incredible feat for your first day in this world."

Uno was jolted awake by Sinro's voice and said, "Ah, yes. No biggie."

Uno then remembered the dairy that he discovered in the lost village. Uno swiftly tugged his old pants from his torso and handed the dairy to Sinro.

Sinro was somewhat surprised and cracked a grin as he accepted the dairy. Sinro said, "Hm...young man. decent indeed."

Uno responds to Sinro with an awkward smile.

.

DING!!!

𝐑𝐄𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐃: Lord's Medallion

___________________________________________

.

Then Sinro reaches into his pockets and hands Uno a medallion. The medallion is made of brass and is engraved with a blank emblem.

Uno examined the medallion, but it revealed no [Observed Information]. Then Uno inquired to Sinro, "What is this?"

"You cannot inspect it, eh? Hahahah... No wonder you haven't arrived in the Main World yet." Sinro responded, "Unfortunately, I cannot disclose that information to you, but what I can say is that... Hold on to it and you will see it for yourselves when you arrive at the other side. That is an item only obtainable if you found the lost village. The lost village mission can only be completed once."

Uno was perplexed, but he did have a glimmer of an idea. Uno grew a little concerned about what would happen to his future. Uno hides the medallion away in his pocket.

Then Uno made the decision to submit his Village's Test Mission and receive the reward, enabling him to get some shuteye.

"Uh... Yea... I want to submit my mission to you." said Uno.

Sinro stared at Uno for a moment before responding, "Since I wasn't able to adequately answer your previous question, I'll give you some advice: the more you kill, the greater the reward. I'm aware that you killed Roscuro, which is why you have the wooden staff, but there are others who are similar to Roscuro."

Uno considered it and chose not to submit the mission simply because he feared it would bring him attention, something he does not desire at the moment.

An announcement appears by coincidence.

.

DING!!!

"What the fuck?" Uno was taken aback, and he returned his gaze to Sinro.

Sinro just chuckled, "HAHAHAHAHHAH... HAHA..ha... I have not had this much fun this time around. You will know the answer soon enough. Just keep what you are doing. Observe"

Uno remained silent for a few moments before saying his final farewell to Sinro.

Sinro leads him out the door and wishes him luck. Uno observed a large crowd at the wooden gate but ignored it and went to sleep in an empty tent.

"Fucking Finally," Uno murmured as he closed his eyes.

ZZZzzzzzz.....
