Slice of life

After the initial shock of being born and discovering that this is not earth plus it has magic in it, David started his boring period of life doing nothing but eating, shitting and sleeping up untill about a year and a half when he finnaly could start to form words a bit and even walked a bit,tho only a few steps as of yet.

As a 1 year old his mom "Salia" never left him unsupervised which annoyed him greatly and while still a bit unacustomed to it he also gained a new name about a week after he was born "Teclos", right now his gains consisted of learning most of the language, as Salia made sure to read books to him before bed time and those werent exactly childrens books, ranging from usefull herbs, how to make tools and what types of animals there were present around them. She was always saying more words more knowlledge to his father when he questioned her why she was doing it, still the most repeated word from her was "Mommy" trying to get him to say it.

Not only was "Teclos" suprised by magic but also all the animals and the primitive tools they used. From that he drew a conclusion that he was now most likely in a medival era or close to it and that the animals were really dangerous. From horned bear like animals,dire wolves which were usually 2 meters tall and poisonus foxes to slimes ,demonic bats and elementals.

'Once im old enough im going hunting with my father but for now the only thing i can do is circulate my mana through my body...tho im not sure if this helps me in any way, still better than doing nothing ,usually in the novels i read it helped the mc get a head start lets hope its the same here ...sadly i never even left this house yet and i know every corner of it and the 2 cockroaches hiding behind the bathroom wall. Hahahaha that reminds me i named them Josh and Mike immpecable humor if i do say so my self' .

He noticed mana in his body fairly early atleast he was hoping it was mana. Standing in the middle of the "living room" proud of his poor joke and still chuckling David now Teclos also learned that his father was a hunter and trapper and so he knew that one day he is gonna learn his fathers craft ,altho the father in question also almost always comes home covered in blood but its fine as its not his blood and he did also learn his fathers name "Talmir" during an intimate moment at night from Saldia. Sadly he couldn't escape his primitive crib and had to lay there listening and hearing even with his ears covered.

"Teclos come here honey we are going to the market buy some supplies"

Saldia promptly picked him up with one hand while also carrying a large basket in the other, it was his first outing and seeing something different than the same pair of walls he was understandibly excited .

When they opened the door and Saldia walked outside he first saw a dirt path then the neighbors house ,some kids running and playing and a somewhat lively street if you can call it that ,all of the houses had a stone base about 1 metre tall but everything else was wooden. The streets were unremarkable the houses werent novel in any shape or form and the peopple werent dressed in good chlothing either, it was all just plain compared to his previous world but that also made it somewhat of a new experience which added to his first time fun outing

After a bit of walking they made it to the market ,it was basicly just about 10-15 stalls all selling something different ranging from clothes, armor, swords to food, herbs and some sort of liquors or drinks

"Hi Lala could you give me the usual please? Oh and a honey stick for him too"

"Oh what a cute boy ,yes offcourse but its going to cost a bit more this time around as alot of the harvest was sent to the nobles this season and the prices went up. I advise you to stock up some supplies because of the war thats at the northern front with the orcs...my dear husband sent me a few letters which vaguely describe the situation , anyways 1.5 silver please"

"Thats quite the price increase...allright here and thanks for the info"

After that they went to a few other stalls buying what ever was on the list ,even going to the armor shop for a leather chest piece for his father. Guessing that it was quite heavy Teclos climbed up on her arm and sat on her shoulders behind the neck which freed her other hand.

Supprised she praised him and picked up the armor then they both happily returned home

Meanwhile Talmir and his friend Kosak were out hunting ,hidden in the bushes and fully covered with scents from the forest herbs Kosak started whispering.

"The nobles are taking more than half of our produce this year and every month of harvest season at that...the war with the orc emperor must be going badly ,any thoughts?"

"Well i heard it from Tom the guard not the baker that its a stalemate right now ,both sides are equal at the moment. If it werent for Rotram the slayer tho i doubt it would be a stalemate ...i would imagine they would send more than half of us in to the war unlike now"

"True and with my luck i would be sent to the front line ,anyways atleast there is still plenty game for us to hunt otherwise we would probably be starving right now "

"Shh i see something.... spike boars 4 of them "

With that Talmir signaled to Kosak the attack plan and which trap to use in complete silence only using hand signals, as they were always hunting together somewhere along the line they made them

Back at home dinner was being prepared by Saldia so Teclos had a few momments to browse the books at home in peace ,first he went to the front door and picked up his fathers hiking stick which he used to pull a random book from the top shelf ,he tried to catch it so it didn't land flush on the floor because it would make too much noise. Partly succesful it made a low thud but was safe in one of his hands, his eyes opened wide with excitement as he read the title 'Mana and control of mana'

'BINGO!'
