《My Hermit Life》Chapter 18 ( Re-edit )

" FINALLY! I have finally completed this absurd task! "
The short buff monkey yelling like a crazy person on top of a waterfall is everbodies favorite dragon monkey Solomon Ars Regis. Who had finally accompolished the difficult task given to him by his least favorite snake God. It only took him four months of seclusion as well as constant hard work and dedication, but he could finally fish using space magic.
' I cant wait to see Loretta and master again after nearly half a year. Mom and dad to, its been even longer since seeing them, maybe I should take a break from training for a while and visit them. Naw they would probably force me to get back to training, plus I should try to get used to solitude after all I am going to be alone with only Loretta for a million years.
" Welp I guess I will head down the waterfall now, get away from the shack for a while."
' I wonder if Loretta has completed her task yet, it did seem pretty hard after all. Although knowing her she is probably already three tasks ahead of me.
Thinking that Solomon decided to check his status to see how far he had advanced since the last time he checked.

" Damn I have had some massive advances since four months ago. "
Not only has his INT increased greatly but so has WIS. He did do alot of critical thinking so thats likely the reason his WIS increased so much. Solomons skills have also advanced by alot. He was surprised his Lightning control skill increased increased considering he only used it occasionsally. He just wrote off the increase as a benefit that comes with his race. Solomons mental calculations has also reached Max mastery which is weird. It also increased for the same reason WIS, there arent any methods to evolve Mental Calculations in his DNA Memories. He decided to ask his Master and see if he has any good ideas. DNA Memories didnt advance unfortunately, but Solomon can feel that it is close to advancing. Space Magic is definitely the most surprising though, he was genuinely surprised that it was only intermediate mastery. He cant imagine how non-legendary beasts can advance far in Space Magic without a literal lifetime of work. Well whatever no point in thinking about is what he thinks when suddenly his master walks up.
" Hey Master. "
" Oh hey Solo, did you complete your task or did you finally break and decide to ask for advice? "
" 'Course I completed it, I aint a wuss who has to ask for advice. "
When he heard Solomons statement Aopara lightly shook his. Aopara really didnt understand how this student of his thinks, especially when it comes to being a " wuss ".
" I told you that asking for advice isnt a bad thing, it can even help you save alot of time. "
" I know but I prefer solving my own problems, Im not going to be able to ask you or my parents about my problems when Im out exploring the world. Anyway, how is Loretta, is she two or three tasks ahead of me yet? "

" 5, she got abit of an insight from that bowl you gave her and has advanced immensely. "
" DAMN! How dare she say that I am more talented than her? She could run laps around me in a talent race at this point. "
Aopara just smirked before encouraging his student a little. Though he did have to admit Loretta is probably the most talented student hes ever taught when it comes to space magic.
" Keep in mind her race is a new race focused on space magics. Plus she definitely has a great mind set for space magics. I just checked out your status you have advanced greatly in most fronts, though Im dissipointed that you didnt get your Barrier Magic to Max mastery. "
" Sorry Master but the task was making me angry and the only way to channel that anger was at the magic. I just couldnt concentrate on other magics when I tried practicng them. "
" Were you like this in your other world? "
" Yep, but I could read and listen to music to calm me down. In this world I can do nothing but practice or meditate to relax, which gets very boring. Hey master do you have anyways to advance Mental Calculation or perhaps a good skill to combine it with? "
" It depends on the route you want to go with it. There are lots of ways to go with it like Dual minds, Critical thinking, Insight, Mental library and many others. "
" Can you tell what the ones you suggested do? "
" Dual minds allows you to have two simultaneously thinking brains, you can have one focus on math and one on magic or both have to different thoughts on the same magic. Critical thinking will basically speed your brain up and make your thoughts clearer, you could think hundreds of moves ahead in the time of a second. Insight will shift your thinking to connect with magics or techniques allowing you quick advaces in whatever you are practiceing. Mental Library records all thoughts, insights, memories and more, you will never forget something no matter what it is plus you can easily pull up any memory with a thought. "
" I want them all! Is there anyway to get more than one, especially insight and mental library? "
" Weelllllll yes. There is a technique that allows you to get all of them but it is extremely hard to practice and takes alot of time. "
" I will have time, 1 million years to be exact. "
" I will think about it, and I will have to talk to your parents. Until then think about which one you want most. Here comes Loretta go talk to her. "
" Yes Master. "
' I hope I can practice that technique. It sounds super OP. '
" Yo hey Solomon. Looks like someone finally decided to join us normies down the mountain. "
" If you are a normy then I feel bad for any so called genius in the world, because they probably wouldnt be able to learn to walk or talk. Honestly I might have to go back into seclusion just to hide from your talent. "
Loretta just smiled at his compliment, thought she didnt nescesarily dis-agree.
" Whatever, I see you are still a pretty smooth talker. Shall we appraise each other? "
" Sure. "
"" Appraise. ""

" You just couldnt let me feel happy. I swear, no wonder mom and dad like you so much. you are more talented than me easily. How did you advance you stats so much? "
At that moment Solomon had a brilliant udea that may get him a few benefits. It wasnt even a second after he asked about her stats that blurted out another compliment.
" I cant tell that your charm went up any, I guess you are so beautiful you cant advance anymore. "
" A. Im probably only more talented than you in space magic. B. Any weapon skill will help your physical stats advance I have also kept up hunting which helped. C. Im surprised you havent unlocked a courting skill or something yet. "
" Maybe they dont exist. I guess I will have to choose which weapon I will want to train in. I am leaning towards fist arts or staff arts. "
" I bet your father would love to teach you something. I will be honest he came by not long ago and I think he is sad that you two arent spending more time together. "
Hearing this Solomon also felt bad for not spending more time with his dad. He knew that he should spend as much time with him as he can before he does the million year training. Solomon then made up his mind to start spending at least a few hours a week with his parents.
" I was thinking if I should go visit, but now I know I am. Oh I want to go fishing with just me and him, that is something alot of father and sons did in my old world. "
" I dont know if he likes fishing or not. I was planning to go visit my mom and dad today how about we go together. Although you will have to ride on my back so we can make good time. "
" OOO kinky hehehe, Im just kidding so stop glaring at me. Lets leave before you kill me. "
" ' Sigh ' Lets go. "
P.O.V Change to Aopara
" I swear that boy just cant let us his poor parents relax. "
" Well he is our child Shie. To be honest I am kind of proud he wants to learn the technique, though he probably doesnt understand the difficulty of learning it. I just hope he does learn it if he tries, after all he would have an extremely strong Gods Domain when he gets to that point if he learns it. "
" I also hope he can learn such a legendary technique, but you know the technique puts an extreme amount of pressure on anybody who tries to learn it. I dont want to think about what would happen if he fails to learn it, after all almost everybody who has failed has gone become a devil who can only practice the technique until death. Elder Aopara are you sure Solo can handle learning the technique? "
" Honestly, I am not sure, but I do know that even if he does fail he wont go insane. That I can assure you. Plus if he does learn Pre-God-Domain then you know that he will become one of the strongest gods alongside Shiva, Amun-Ra, Angra Spentas, and Hero Cu Chulainn. Hell even if he doesnt learn the Pre-God-Domain he will surely rank amongst the top alongside you two and many others. "
" I think Master for your compliments but Shie and I havent even reached God-Hood yet. So nobody can know if we will be among the top. "
" Oh Bullshit you two can easily kill some gods right now let alone when you actually get to that level. Anyway back to Solomon, we still have 19 years before we send him to the seperate dimension for training. We have plenty of time to decide before we have to decide whether or not to teach him the Pre-God-Domain technique. Speak of the devil him and Loretta are right outside. "
" Heelllllllooooooooooo, anybody home? I sure hope we didnt come here for nothing. "
" Yeah same, I hate letting people ride on me. Especially for no reason."
" Sucks for you cause when we are married I am going to ride you alot. "
" Shut up you little pervert. "
" What I was talking about centaur back ridng, its alot funner than I thought it would be. What were you thinking? Calling me a pervert when you are the small minded one. "
While Solomon and Loretta were bickering the parents and master came out of the tree house. The all just smiled seeing the couple getting along.
" Hey kids we werent expecting to see you guys, especially you Mr. Leaves one month after being born and then never visits his poor parents. Your dads been really depressed with you not visiting you know."
" Sorry mom, blame Master he is the one who invited the God Locus to give me super hard tasks. "
Aopara instantly gained an indignant expression on his face. And couldnt help but mess with Solomon a little.
" What did I do? "
" Master! I didnt expect to meet you here. I was just telling mom how you have been teaching me super well. "
" Im a god, I can hear hair grow let alone your loud mouth from 100 feet away. "
" Hehe, why hasnt anybody said hi to Loretta yet. Go on Loretta say hi. "
" Hello mother in law, Master. Where is father in law? "
" Oh hes inside sulking, because someone hasnt talked to him in a month. By the way Solomon, what is this Lapdance thing your father brought up to me? "
Solomon instantly tried diverting the question all the while cursing his snitch of a father in his head.
" I dont know dont ask me. Anyway I came to visit so soon after I exited training was to see if dad wanted to go fishing together, just him and me. But since he isnt around I will just return with Mast...... "
The young monkey didnt even finish his sentence before a tall buff golden furred monkey was standing right in front of him. The monkey even had a fishing hat on.
" Lets go son, I know the perfect fishing spot. Its a secret so dont tell anybody about it. "
" What about fishing polls? "
" We will make them when we get there. "
" Alright bye mom love you, bye Loretta bye Master. "
""" Bye Son love you/ Bye hun/ See ya kid have fun. """

Can a King rise from the ashes of a broken soul? As a half-breed abomination blamed for the death of his brother, Roland's father disowned him and his pack rejected him. Without a home, only the vilest of overlords accepted him as a slave. His past defined him, his present seemed futile, and his future seemed hopeless. Until he escaped the assassin overlords and came to meet a small family who adopted him as their own. They forced him to look past what he’d come to expect in Humans; forced him to face what he’d become. They showed him a glimpse of happiness for the first time in his life.

The Empire steals his first glimpse of peace, putting him on a collision course of past, present, and future that will take him to a small town needing a hero and vast mountains hiding deadly secrets and fire-breathing creatures.
