The sky was clear and the beautiful moons illuminated the dark forest, yes that’s right the ‘beautiful moons’, surprisingly this world has two moons hanging in the sky and again it reminded Yefan that it was really a foreign world.

He and the old man finally arrived at the entrance of the village, it was quite small in size, some houses made roughly of thick wood were seen here and there forming a circle clearing the dense foliage, dozens of people were sitting around a fire and among them were women and children, they were chatting and eating, they also wore simple outfits made of leather their skins were dark and their features differed greatly from the people he saw inside the altar .

The weather was nice and not too cold so there wasn’t a need for thick clothes, seeing the old man appearing from inside the forest they became delighted and even some of the children happily ran toward him but when they saw the strange Yefan following behind they instantly became wary and overly cautious.

“It’s alright he is with me, don’t be afraid “

The old man smiled gently and softly said while patting the head of a child.

Hearing him the tension of the villagers somehow eased.

“Old man who is this person?” a middle-aged man with a tall and robust body stood up and looked at Yefan with surprise.

“He was lost I, found him near the waterfall “

“Impossible! How can it be? It doesn’t make sense!”

The middle aged-man made an amazed expression like something unbelievable just happened in front of his eyes, YeFan seeing the exaggerated reaction became puzzled.

“Old man what does he mean by that?” Yefan sure enough voiced his doubts.

“For now let’s go inside my house, we will be able to talk calmly “he looked at the villagers and continued “you can continue to eat I will explain to you latter so don’t disturb us “

The He turned toward Yefan and added

“Young man, follow me “

Yefan nodded and walked toward one of the houses with the old man under the various strange gazes of the villagers, it made him uneasy.

The interior of the house was simple like the exterior, there was a table, two chairs and a bed, there was also a fireplace and a large wooden box, on the table laid several thick books they appeared mysterious and quite old.

“Cough cough …take a seat first and let us eat something, you seem to not be able to speak unless you eat a proper meal “

“Thank you old man I feel like starving “

Seeing Yefan not opposing his words he then snapped his fingers, like magic the fireplace was lit immediately, no in fact it was real magic, Yefan eyes trembled slightly but he was not surprised at all he already had the experience of the memories and had seen even more incomprehensible things so he didn’t feel that shocked.

The old man proceeded with skillfully peeling the skin of some fish he caught , he then sprinkled them with some seasoning and skewered them before laying them near the fire to roast, very quickly an appetizing fragrance attacked the sensitive nostrils of Yefan making him drool.

The sight amused the old man making him laugh.

“Hahaha, this is small horned fish it is quite delicious they are the principal source of food of this region and fortunately its abundant “explained the old man while stroking his beard lightly.

Shortly after the fish was ready, Yefan was already at is limit, the small horned fish was served with some bread and salad made of unknown vegetables, it looked like lettuce, without waiting he began to devour the meal finally filling his rumbling stomach.

************************************

Inside the castle the audience with the king already ended and Rodin was the only one who was standing in front Miss Chen and her students, the door then opened and a servant entered the room in his hands a pile of metallic cards, he then handed one to each of the people present including Rodin before bowing and leaving.

“Earlier I talked about an artifact that can appraise the magical and physical ability of a person, I also have forgotten to mention a certain point when I said all people had a flow of magic it doesn’t mean that all of them are magicians, in fact a magician is someone who can increase the quantity of his Mana , most of the population of this world can’t use magic due to their stagnant amount of Mana which can’t even allow to cast a simple basic spell so they all choose physical cultivation there is also another reason which is not having affinity with any element, in fact there is six major elements which are fire , water , wind , earth , light and dark , there is also unique elements but they are too rare… good now in your hands are the artifacts which I talked about , it serves also as an identity card its indestructible below the realm of legend rank …“

Rodin paused seemingly appearing slightly tired of talking before continuing his explanation.

“To activate the artifact you only need a drop of your blood and infuse it with a small amount of Mana, before that you need to sense the Mana inside of you, to do that you have to concentrate and feel your body, so close your eyes and concentrate if a strand of white light appeared in your mind then you succeeded in sensing it “

XuLong, Miss Chen, LiXiu and the others all shut their eyes tightly and began to seriously concentrate.

Xulong being an athlete back in earth was overly familiar with his body, he tried to focus and feel his muscles, bones, and organs …he guided his mind to sense every corner and every inch, all of sudden inside his consciousness a white light began to form slowly taking the shape of a thin filament it felt weird and at the same time fascinating.

“Amazing, it really appeared the white light! “ Exclaimed Xulong with an excited expression.

“Me too!” followed Lixiu.

“Oh talented indeed, your mental strengths are outstanding to succeed on your first attempt “Rodin praised while stroking his long beard.

All the others were struggling and had a disappointed expression on their faces, seeing their state Roding smiled wryly.

“All of you don’t be discouraged, mental strength and magic ability are two distinct characteristics if you fail to sense the Mana on your first try it doesn’t mean that your talent in magic is bad there is no relationship! I myself had to spend an hour to sense the first strand of magic “

Hearing his words their disappointment quickly faded and this time tried harder, after several minutes all of them finally were able to sense Mana, LingLing took the longest time among them.

“Good, now I will demonstrate how to activate the artifact “said Rodin.

Rodin took the metallic card and put it on the table, after that he carefully prickled his finger with a needle dropping a drop of blood on its smooth surface, the drop quickly got absorbed by the card and disappeared, following suit Rodin this time put his index finger on top of it, on the extremity of his finger a transparent whitish light was emitted and it also instantly got absorbed by the card, suddenly the smooth metallic surface began to gradually change into white and symbols were rapidly being engraved , in the eyes of Miss Chen and the others it seemed like an invisible pen was scribbling on it .

“okay it’s done, the card will absorb your blood and Mana, for the card to absorb the Mana you need now to materialize a small amount, that white light that I condensed with my finger was Mana at its purest state, now that you sensed the strand of light it will be easy to lead part of it outside, you only need to imagine the process “

Rodin then explained how to extract Mana carefully for them, following his advice they easily were able to activate their respective magic cards.

“You see those symbols they are magical symbols and also your physical and magical stats they are meant to adapt to any language flowing the will of its owner “

Rodin took his card and presented it in front of them, the symbols slowly changed into the language of the kingdom.

From the beginning Xulong and the others easily understood the words that were spoken by the residents of this kingdom and now even the writing was not difficult to comprehend.

All the cards had precise information about the different characteristics of each individual, looking at them Rodin was stunned.

“You all have affinity with four elements moreover your quantity of Mana already surpassed the basic level, and compared to the average humans your physical strength is also at the same level of an apprentice and middle ranked warrior, unbelievable so this is the strength and potential of travellers?”

Rodin was completely dumbfounded.

**************************

Yefan and the old man were now sitting in front of each other on their faces serious expressions.

“Old man!”

“Yes?” the old man frowned because the strange young man in front of him appeared to be thinking about something important.

“The fish … the fish was so fucking delicious! I’ve never had fish as delicious as this” Yefan exclaimed while liking his lips delightfully.

Hearing those words the old man fell from his chair.

“So it was about the fish ….”

Regaining his chair and straitening his back the old man looked curiously at Yefan.

“Young man first, I will introduce myself, my name is Arold Wilkins I’m the chief of this village, may I know your name?”

“Yefan” replied Yefan curtly.

The old man wasn’t offended by the short response from Yefan he instead wore a thoughtful expression.

“What a strange name, and from where are you how did you get lost here?”

(I can’t say that I ‘m from another world got transformed by a fucking blue crystal and appeared from a tunnel)

Yefan was thinking of how to answer this difficult question.

“I don’t remember when I woke up I was lying on the floor … I only remember my name I don’t have memories from before I woke up “

“Oh you have amnesia? Strange truly strange …“

“Previously that tall person said that ‘it doesn’t make sense’ what did he mean?” yefan remembered the words of that middle-aged man.

“Oh about that, first let me explain to you this region topography, as I said to you this forest is named [the mysterious woods] , this is only a small patch of this large wilderness , the Haranian kingdom is in the north and its where I’m from , but you see the wilderness is surrounded by several mountain ranges and on top of that this huge region is infested with innumerable species of ferocious magical beasts , this village is currently isolated from the civilization , it’s impossible for people to reach here only if it was a person above legend rank “

Wilkins explained little by little.

“To go from here to the nearest kingdom it will at least take three months without encountering magical beasts of course , this is why its unbelievable for them to see a second foreign person here “

(Oh my god holy shit! I was fucking relived that I left that shitty dark hole but now I’m trapped here? Is god playing with me?)

“So the only way to reach the nearest populated place is to cross the wilderness?”

“Yes but it’s too dangerous, as I explained the magical beast are the ones who reigns over this entire region “

“You said only people above legend rank can come here?”

“Yes seeing as you are amnesic its naturel that you’ve forgotten, magicians are divided into ranks, beginner, apprentice, middle, top, high, legendary, heaven and god ranked magicians , the only possibility for you to be here is that you are above legend rank “

Suddenly the old man posed and looked at Yefan with an extremely complicated gaze.

“Dont look at me like that old man I’m certainly not legend rank or whatever “seeing the weird gaze of Wilkins Yefan quickly refuted.

“Ah is it, right you appear to be in your twenties how can you be a legend rank magician”

“Wait you said the second foreign person? Who was the first one what do you mean by that? And also why are the magical beasts that you talk about not attacking this place?” Yefan suddenly found several inconsistent points.

“This village people are native here they always lived here, when I first arrived I was surprised because I found people that lived in this isolated and forgotten corner of this large forest and also that this part didn’t have any magical beasts , twenty years ago they didn’t know my language and I simply communicated with them with signs but little by little I taught them how to write and speak and I became the chief of this village , these people are peaceful and simple hunters they accepted me quickly “

“You mean you were the first person? “

“Yes I don’t look like it now but I had quite the reputation as a magician and had attained the rank of legendary “when talking Wilkins wore a painful expression.

“It doesn’t make sense then why are you still here twenty years? If you are a legend rank magician why didn’t you escape from here?”

“I can’t, my job wasn’t only a magician I was also an artifact creator, and I entered the wilderness to fetch some rare materials but I encountered a horrible magical beast its power surpassed the legend rank, I battled it for 2 days before I escaped but it’s still injured me severely, I’m just a crippled old man now with a laughable amount of Mana “said Wilkins mocking himself.

“I understand but you still didn’t explain why this place isn’t attacked by magical beasts?”

“I don’t know , maybe this place is special or a powerful treasure is buried here repelling those monsters , I asked the villagers but they said that this place was always like this from as far as they remember “

(Am I going to spend my life here? impossible I need to find a way , that crystal it did something to me maybe if I learn magic I can escape from here … )

“young man I know what you are thinking , if you cross the wilderness maybe you will have luck and escape but yu also will meet several life and death situations , I won’t advise you but all I can say is that as long as you are here you are welcome “

The old man smiled to yefan.

Ye fan clenched his fists tightly looked at him with resolution and declared.

“Old man I want to learn magic!”
