《Archillies Duane : The World Traveller》Chapter 17
Advertisement
After a whole hour of analyzing, it was decided.
I shall unlock it.
Taking 500 skill points, I unlocked it.
Memories upon memories of many different people filled my head, men and women, their feelings, their hardships, their greatest moments, their thoughts before death.
It all filled my head, with no exception.
An incredibly strong headache hit me, and I wasn’t able to ‘Heal’ my way through it.
Ugh.. it is too painful.
But those memories proved something.
Many of my family were world travellers, even my grandfather.
But now I know who Rain is..
She is me from another world.
What?
I too was confused at the sudden revelation.
Me from another world, but how is that possible.
Oh.
I see now..
Looking through the memories before my grandfather, I found some that showed them not having only one child, but multiple, depending on them.
And as their last generation, we were somehow called to this world at the same time, but my soul was stronger than her’s, so she was sent to the Void.
Specifically my Void Mind..
This time, I got another headache from the complexity of the current dilemma.
And I’ve learned that a ‘Hero’ class is just another head start to the World Traveller class.
But, as a compensation for this power, they lose their memories, rendering them completely predisposed to manipulation and brainwashing.
She’s lucky that I’m the one that brought her out, huh..
Which brings me to the biggest problem of all.
I’m fairly certain that I’ve fallen for her, but I don’t know if she has the same feelings.
I certainly can’t check with mind magic, due to her class’ effects.
Due to the uncertainty, I decided that I will ask her later on.
Right now, I have to process those memories, otherwise my headache will just worsen.
And what better way to process them?
Sleep!
I apologized to Rain and told the Arms to protect us while I sleep, then got to the tent, laid down and closed my eyes.
Fatigue fatigue.. Wash me away!
….
I’m… on the a mountain.
Snow is surrounding me, but there is a house.
The house looks more like a large doghouse than an actual house.
Yet, it felt inviting, so I didn’t turn it down.
I opened the small door, and what greeted me was a room as big as the king’s throne room.
Inside, it was filled with a large tables next to each other, with chairs on both sides of the tables.
The ones sitting on it are..
My ancestors?

Both men and women sitting equally at the chairs, stuffing themselves with many types of food, be it from my world or theirs, it is all there.
One of them who was standing up noticed me, then came at me.
She is a tall, yet slim woman, with muscles on her arms, and black, wavy hair that goes down to her shoulders.
“The newest addition to the family, eh? What’s your name?”
“Err… Archillies Duane.”
“Duane, huh.. Hey guys! Someone from the Duane family here?”
I could see three people stand up and move towards us, one of them is my grandfather.
The rest, if I could guess, are my great grands, or my father’s uncle and aunt.
For one reason or another, all of them have either black or white hair, making it seem like the norm in our family.
Finally, they reached us, and the woman left for our reunion.
“My grandchild, huh.”
“Yep, hello grandpa Hercule.”
I felt a bit awkward, but then he gave me a hug, albeit with superhuman strength that nearly got me crushed.
Teleporting a step backwards, he noticed what he had done, and apologized sloppily.
Doesn’t seem like he means it….
Anyhow, who are those?
As if they could read my mind, they started introducing themselves.
“‘Ello, I’m your uncle Zeon, sorry I wasn’t there to see your father’s wedding, I had some work as a planet’s guardian spirit.”
My eyebrows kept twitching, since I accidentally used his name as a joke.
I hope he doesn’t know.
Next up was..
“Hello, I’m Fiona, your great grandmother.”
She has white hair and gray eyes just like me, explaining where my colours came from.
In this room, everyone is in their prime, and they seem to be having fun.
After introducing myself to them, we all went to the table, and somehow, there was a space for me.
“Where does all this come from?”
“Hmm? It doesn’t, it just exists, hahaha..”
Said Zeon.
Once I sat, some familiar food appeared in front of me.
Some rice, and chicken in a soup.
Pretty simple, but looks tasty.
I took my spoon and started eating the rice, while chatting with my ‘Family’.
Oh boy do I have a lot of greetings to do.
….
I opened my eyes but I think something is wrong.
It feels.. Restricted?
Raising my head, I could see arms wrapped around my waist.
Oh no, don’t tell me..
I look behind while twisting my head in a weird way, then look at the one behind me.

Her face pushed into my back, the only thing I could see is her hair that is covering her back.
My face started burning hot, and I tried to distract myself by looking at the watch.
Huh.. it is 7 AM?
We should wake up in 2 hours, if I’m correct.
Guess I’ll have to stay like that for a while, huh..
I remember when she did the same thing before, but I tried to get away from her embrace, then she woke up, and couldn’t continue sleeping.
Man, I told her to not do it, and even set up barriers before.
Guess this is my punishment (reward) for not setting them up beforehand.
In the meantime, I checked to see the progress of the hands with my ‘Ring’, and turns out that they killed over a thousand monsters.
If I don’t stop them, the monsters are going to go extinct..
I quickly order them to stop their hunts, and make sure to bring me all their loot.
But then, I sensed something different with Larry, but I had nothing to do but trust them with their jobs in my current position.
Waiting waiting, maybe I should read a book in my brain?
Yeah, that’ll be fun.
….
Two hours later, the time to wake up has finally came, so I started moving.
“Hey, Rain, it’s morning, wake up.”
She didn’t wake up, but when I got out of her grasp, her eyes opened as if I ruined her meditation time.
“It’s already morning? Awww..”
I went outside the tent so that she could dress up, while I go wash myself.
Due to my high Body stat, or specifically my ex-DEF, I was able to withstand heat and cold the higher it become, making me sweat rarely.
But, that doesn’t mean dust and grimes won’t gather on me, would it?
Using ‘Sneak’ to avoid someone seeing me naked, I hovered, to avoid touching the ground with my bare feet, and started washing myself and my clothes.
Wearing another set, I turned off ‘Sneak’, and went to the tent.
The Arms have really done a great job..
I went and examined each item, most of them were pelts, while others were Ability Books and special Magic Gems.
Those gems are used for hardcore enchanting or as an alchemical ingredient, but they are too rare, so they are expensive.
Actually, the Arms gathered quite a lot… About 300?
It seems that the Arms’ power and intellect corresponds with mine.
After gathering them all in my ‘Pocket Dimension’, Rain finally got out of the tent.
Looking beautiful as ever, huh.
I take out some firewood and cooking utensils, then let her do her magic.
In the meantime, I asked the Arms to gather to me, but Larry wasn’t present.
Due to that, I had followed my mana link with it, until I reached a cave.
Oh yeah, I didn’t mention that we are close to mountains now.
Heh.
Once I got close to the opening, the smell of blood entered my nose, making me flinch.
I can’t get used to the blood..
Anyhow, I ignored it and entered, while having the good ol’ orbs of light floating around me.
After reaching a dead end, the link still showed that the Arm was on the other side, so I took the easy way around, and used Earth magic to open up a hole.
What I saw behind was…
Larry with a little fox?
No, not fox… It has three tails, but I can’t remember it’s name, so I just used ‘Inspect’.
The name is Ninetails, but this is the younger form of it, so I could understand the reason for it only having 3.
Once Larry saw me, it got off the injured and shivering young Ninetails, and went towards me.
If I could imagine Larry’s expression, it would be like a mother worried about her child.
Anyhow, I cast ‘Heal’ on it, and I could see it’s body relaxing.
If I remember correctly, Ninetails are supposed to be rare?
With that thought in mind, it was set that I will try to tame it with my Lv1 Taming ability.
Don’t worry, don’t worry, it is all about whether you could get it to like you or not, the ability just ‘Helps’.
I took out a part of the Meij meat, and gave slowly moved it towards it’s mouth.
It smelled the meat, then smelled my hand for a while, then finally decided to bite the meat.
With my other hand, I tried to pet it, and it didn’t mind, so I continued to do so while it ate.
Finally finishing the meat, it curled up into a ball, and got ready to sleep.
-Ding!
“Due to taming a Legendary Monster, Taming has become Lv47”
Well now, that is some huge XP there, isn’t it.
What will I name it?
Guess I’ll do that when I’m back at the camp, eh?
Without rushing, I passed through the forest, with the great smell of food guiding me.
