Leaving the blacksmith, with a new weapon, a saber which is sheated in the belt on the right side, the reforged sword on his back, and an armor, a cuirass guarding his chest.
The next stop is an alchemist shop, also know as, Item shop.
After asking the blacksmith where he can find a map, the answer was that the item shop should have one.
After walking past some shops, Grekorio arrivied at the Alchemist shop. Entering it, he was greeted with potions, and herbs around him making a weird but nice smell flow around the shop.
Approaching the counter, he see a bell on it, pressing it a soft sound echo in the shop. Seconds later, an old woman came from the door behind the counter.
"What can i help you with?"Said the old woman gently
"I want a world map and one from the sorrounding, and a book about the herbs around here."
"Oh, and what you can offer for trade?"
Grekorio had before his visit the blacksmith 24 branchs from the trolls. Now he take 2 out of his inventory to see if the old woman accept.
"Fair, i accept." said the old woman, then she took one scroll and a book from the counter.
"Thanks."Accepting it and put inside his inventory he exit the shop.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The book about herbs is to help him get the Inspect Skill, but for that he needs to indentify 100 herbs after which a window will appear confirming if it's wrong or right, and he can't get 1 wrong or he will need to do it all over again, that's why he needs the book.
After exiting the village, Grekorio sit down and lean on a tree, and take out the world map from his inventory.

After unrolling the scroll, he start to study the map to try to find where he is, ' the Chief said something about mainland, which mean that where i am obviously isn't the big continent in the map', so he start to search for islands around the continent, after minutes of quietly staring in the map, he realize that besides one island, that is isolated from the others, all the islands beside this one are part from a kingdom.
「Discover the secret about the island.
Talk to the Village Chief, to find more.」
'Is that a Quest?', Thinking that he stand up, put the map in the inventory again, and after closing the inventory window, he opens the option tab.
Pressing the log out icon, he fades away in a beam of light.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Putting the helmet in the shelf, and getting up, he open the blinds, and is greeted with the view of a sunrise, giving the clouds in the sky a faint shade of purple, making the city scenery beatiful.
Opening his closet, dressing a sportwear, he go out to do some exercise.
Closing the door, he hear someone greeting him from the side.
Turning his head, he see his neighboor.
"Oh, Sheila, good morning, how are you?" Luke says politely back.
"Well, and you? Are you going to run a little too?"
"Yeah, want to join me?" Already walking to the stairs when he says that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, since when you started to run there?" Sheila ask while they are walking to the park.
"Recently, i have a lot of free time lately."
Sheila nods, put earphones and start to run around the park.
Seeing that Luke shake his head, and go to side of the walkway, and start to stretching,'Even though i am young, it's better be safe than sorry.'

In middle of his stretching his notice a branch besides a tree, when his eyes laid upon that branch a weird ideia arise in his mind.
He approached the branch, took it, and started to wield it as a sword, and the blow that he use to kill a troll in the game, when he merged the image of the lightning from his dreams and the fast strike from Gerald, keep repeating in his mind.
Luke did the same thing when he used the attack, grasping the earth with his feet, and storing strengh in his legs,he jumped at the tree in front of him, he tried to tranfer the shock from his legs kicking the ground to his arms together with the strengh, letting his instinct control everything.
He slashed horizontally at the middle of the tree, after he landed in the ground again he looked at his bleeding hand and then moved his eyes to the broken branch, and turned his body to tree just to be suprised by what he see.
The middle of the tree, there is a part that is smoothly cutted, and that part is where he slashed earlier.
Taking a while to recover, he looks again at his bleeding hands,'So something like that is possible, while it's not the same power level, and hurt like hell, and make me tired after...it's possible...'
Luke then start to laugh out loud like crazy.
After washing his hands, feeling hungry he go to a convenience shop and buy a lot of instant noodles, and return home.
After eating, he take a shower, and start to bandage his hand.
Lieing down in the bed, Luke that the Helmet from the shelf and put in his head.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
He appear again where he logged out, he take the map from the forest out, and try to see where he got the ore from the troll, and start to dash inside the forest, soon his silhouette dissappear in there.
