《The Story of how I died and was reborn in another world as a Half-Demi》Chapter 2 - The first friend and other childhood stories
Advertisement
When I got five years old, I wanted another pet. We already had Lupus, but he often goes with my parents for the quests, while I have to be alone in the house. Oh, and my status is like this at the moment:
Name: Lupin (before: Kawaru Kokoroe)
Age: 5 years 2 months
Job: ---
Level: 2
Species: Half-Demi (Dragontigerdemi + Fenrir)
HP: 287 036/287 037
MP: 421 418/430 556
Stamina: 2 931 / 3 044 ( 1 %, untrained)
ATK: 2 278 (1 %, untrained)
DEF: 4 313 (1 %, untrained)
SPD: 18 668 (3 %, very slightly trained)
MATK: 318 957
MDEF: 492 919
LUK: 300
I mean, look at it! I haven’t even done anything, but I still have these freaking overpowered stats! Normal Villagers have stats from 200 to 1 000. 10 000 and more are average for E-Ranks. And magic values 300 000 and more are good A-Ranks! Now try to find somebody, who is willing to tell me, that I haven’t overdone it! I planned to live a peaceful life, but people, who will find out about this, will likely think, that I am a hero or something like that. Oh, and the Ranks for adventurers are from G to triple-S or SSS.
Back to the present: I want to have my own pet! The problem is, I could kill a pet, which is too weak… and if it is to strong, I could either not control or not feed it. So, I needed some reference material, and I bought an encyclopaedia. And the most detailed one I could find and buy. It was half a year of pocket money! Well, the amount of pocket money I get is rather large, so I had an advantage at that.
At least I have an idea, what I want to have as a pet. It would be a horned rabbit – something, which is present at many Isekai-Mangas. But, its grown-up size is 1 metre tall and 1.5 metres long. Because of that, its Rank is E-. In comparison: Lupus is slightly smaller, but stronger, so his Rank is D. At least, according to the encyclopaedia.
I have already found some, but they always ran away. While I am searching for a horned rabbit, I am also searching for herbs and other valuable stuff. Oh, and I found out, that it is enough, if I only say or think ‘Vitund’ or ‘Eolas’. I already found some Sanis herbs, maybe two bushels, and this:
I only have a pebble, but I think, this is already very valuable. I think, I keep it for the time being. When I started going home, guess what I see? A horned rabbit! But its behaviour was weird. It didn’t run away, it runs to me! What should I do? Catch it? It is a bit taller than me, let alone its weight! Jump it? Oops, it is already here. It stopped? Don’t tell me, that it is going to box me with its paws. Nah, all it does is staring at me. *stare* *back-stare* Nothing happens.
(Lupin) “Uhm, everything okay?”
I don’t expect an answer. It doesn’t answer.
*munch, munch*
If this would be a cinema film, that sound would be munching-sounds from people who eat popcorn. But this is no movie. Somebody is eating something. Behind me? But there should be nobody behind me.
*munch, chew*
My backpack is also getting lighter! I have more food in the pouch, still! It is MY food! When I moved my hands behind, to catch the foodthief, I feel… scales? A lizard? Lizardmen? Or something different?

“Ah!”
*Steps*
After I turned around, I didn’t see anybody. Now behind me was the horned rabbit, who was still staring at me. You think, he eats meat? Well, he does. Horned rabbits seem to be omnivores. And he likes it.
*Munch, munch!”
Again! It’s enough! First kick, then look! Aaaand…
"OW OW OW OW OW!"
I hit somebody. And after I turned around, I saw… a… girl? She is taller than me…But what happened to her? Does she have some kind of illness, of why does she have features of umpteen different species? Scales, coat, four different wings, horns, claws, … I could say much more and more detailed, but first… who is she? Is she a human? Or something else, maybe some kind of chimera?
(Lupin) “Uhm… I am sorry… everything… okay?”
(?) “You… awayrun… not?”
(Lupin) “Why? I mean, I would understand, why some people would run away, but…”
(?) “Waaaah!” *runs to Lupin and cries and snots*
(Lupin) “eh…”
I am not good with something like this! I never had a girlfriend or something similar in my life before!
“C-calm down please!”
(?) *sob…* “You first are, who awayrun not!”
She is probably 10 to 12 years old, but she behaves like 2 or 3 years old… What the f*ck must have happened to her?
(Lupin) “What has happened?”
(?) “What happened? Ah… don’t know. Mama cried had night, then I to glasses-man came. Then don’t know, until awayrun from scary glasses-man. Wanted to mama, she not there, other hurt me and said monster. Then I awayrun to here, where pets. they not awayrun. two white later, you now here. *sob* not awayrun?”
While she told me her story, I used ‘Inspect’.

Human/???
????????????????????????????????????????????????????
>?????
What the…? She is probably a human, else there wouldn’t be the option job. But what has God said? >> It is the more exact, the greater the level difference in your favour is
(Lupin) “Don’t worry, I won’t run away. But I should be back home soon….. hmmm…. I got it!”
(?) “Meat?”
(Lupin) “Uh, no, I got an idea. I could build you a little house. Somehow. I hope it works.”
(?) “You me make house?”
(Lupin) “Uh… yea.”
(?) “Yeeey!”
(Lupin) “By the way, what is your name?”
(?) “Mama called me Victima!”
(Lupin) “Okay, Victima, then follow me.
(Victima) “Hm-hmhm-hm-hmm-hmhm!”
[after some minutes]
(Lupin) “So, I can see the boundary of the forest now. Do you see any place here, where you would want to have your house?”
(Victima) “You choose!”
(Lupin) “Okay.”
‘Eolas, Woodmagic”
Okay, it should be possible for me, to build it with wood. Else, it would have been out of stone, which wouldn’t be comfortable.
(Lupin) “Well, I build it…… there!”
Now I just need enough concentration. I mean, I have just affinity level 4.
[One minute later]
(Victima) “You okay?”
(Lupin) “Ah!” *releases his collected magic power and a sloping house appears*
”Haaaaa… Is it okay like that? I mean, it is sloping…”
(Victima) “don’t care. My house!!!”
She really is like a small child… although she is already 10 years old…
(Lupin) “Victima? I have to go home now…. I give you some food, and come again tomorrow, okay?”
(Victima) “You awaygo?” *sob…*
(Lupin) “I will come back tomorrow, no worries! And, if I don’t go back now, my parents will worry about me.

*lays some meat, bread and fruits onto the table*
So like I have said, I will come back tomorrow.” (
Victima) “You really will?”
(Lupin) “Yeah, sure, no worries. See you tomorrow!”
(Victima) “Tomowwow!”
After I walked out of the house…. ‘Barrier!’ This should at least help a bit. It may be a weak barrier, but still. And…
(Lupin) “You are still following me? I mean, I wanted to have a pet, so why not?”
(Rabbit) “!!”
(Lupin) “Follow me! Or would you rather watch over Victima? Oh, well, I should at first give you a name. How about Lenius?”
*Rabbit nods*
(Lupin) “So, Lenius. Would you rather follow me or watch over Victima?”
COOL! ‘Accept’
(Lenius)
(Lupin)
After we have talked about that, we went to my house, and my parents had no problem with him, on the condition, that I take care of him. Lupus and Lenius seemed to have no problem, although the played catch, and Lenius chased Lupus, and not the other way around. And my parents asked me, why my clothes look like that. I told them, that Lenius slobbered all over me , but my parents doubted me. Then, right after I wore new clothes, Lenius really slobbered all over me. When my parents saw that scene, they haven’t doubted me anymore. Maybe Lenius did it exactly because of that.
(Lenius)
(Lupin)
(Lenius)
(Lupin)
(Lenius) , and level up enough, they can evolve into a Wolven Rabbit. But an evolution can hurt, depending on the degree of change. And, there are also some species which can take a job and evolve. They have are intelligent, humanoid, but the majority of their ancestors have to be monsters. The most well-known example are Half-Demis.>
After there were no problems, I went to meet Victima daily. Also, I have thought of training my body, because, as you have seen, my stats at the moment are far from maximum.
Everything after that are smaller stories, times funny, then maybe not, but I tell the bigger ones of them, because they have maybe influenced my life.
This story was at the age of 8 years. At this age, I have trained enough to use 20 % of my maximum. My status then was like that:
Name: Lupin (earlier Kawaru Kokoroe)
Age: 8 Jahre 5 Monate
Job: ---
Level: 7
Species: Half-Demi (Dragontigerdemi + Fenrir)
HP: 466 817 / 467 592
MP: 839 153 / 848580
Species: 119 238 / 123 904 ( 25 %, mediocre trained)
ATK: 74 227 (20 %, mediocre trained)
DEF: 140 521 (20 %, mediocre trained)
SPD: 253 429 (25 %, mediocre trained)
MATK: 519 591
MDEF: 802 981
LUK: 300
Haven’t I said something like “300 000 at magic values are good A-Ranks”? My stats at the moment are good Rank-S to rather bad Rank-SS. ATK would be C+, DEF a mediocre B. SPD a mediocre A-Rank. Just for comparison.
After I went to Victima for my daily visit, I went to the city.
Oh, and Victima has gotten far better. Her behaviour is similar to an 8 year old, and she has no problem if I are not there for one or two days, because I have taken a quest, at least if I tell her before. By the way, even children are allowed to be adventurers, but mostly Rank-D. There are also exceptions, but I don’t try to be one. Else there would be a huge uproar, and that would be annoying.
So, I went into the city, because I wanted to buy something. Just an explanation about the money first: Copper
Just in comparison: 5 big copper pieces are the normal price for a good soup, 6 silver coins are a price for a cheap three course menu in a better restaurant. The monthly rent for a house in the countryside are 4 big silvers, in the city 1 gold. to buy it, you need 2 big golds on the countryside and 6 in the city. In the end, to have a comparison for the platinum coin: That is the normal sale of a medium large company in a year, or the payment for a normal Rank-SSS quest per adventurer.
Back to the spot: While I wanted to buy something, I saw, that an arithmetic contest is taking place in the city. The heck?!? Don’t they want to have their citizens to stultify, or why are the having an arithmetic contest? As I wanted to take part, some people told me to go to the child’s section. But I was stubborn, so they eventually let me in, while some people said, that I am going to disgrace myself, and I shouldn’t be that audacious. Guess what happened? I won easily. The hardest thing was the multiplication of three three-digit numbers.
After that, some people were sure of the fact, that I was cheating somehow, and wanted me to take the tests of the previous years. I accepted under the condition, that I would get money in the amount of the winning amount of them for every test, if I finished them all correctly. They were shaken in disbelief, as I completed them all faster than they would have completed two of them. There were 35 tests, so I am now filthy rich for a child. I got 3 gold and 6 big silvers. Their problem, if they engaged themselves in that.
Although I said, that I wanted to make no uproar… There was no possibility that there was no uproar. But the descriptions were different. They said, that a small child did it. Everybody is now thinking, that it was a human child. It looks like, that the most embarrassing point for them was, that it wasn’t a human. So, I got no problem.
Oh, and I asked my parents, what Rank they are. They said, that they are B-Rank. Many adventurers stop at C or B-Rank, just because it is too difficult to fulfil the conditions for A-Rank or B-Rank. And Lupus’ Rank is C+. He is a Vampire Wolf. I thought, that he was a Snow Wolf, which is Rank D-. And Lenius is Rank D, because he is a Cerberushorn.
The next one happened at my twelfth birthday. Apparently, there are four things that happened. At first, the skills I would have already gotten through my special ability, got unlocked.
It should be impossible to have an affinity over 10. What is going on?
What do I need that ability for?
That is everything I have learned so far. I didn’t know how an affinity of over 10 was possible, but after that, the following happened:
It seems like there are natural ways to increase the affinities. If I reveal them, I can get even stronger… whatever I could need that for.
The second thing that happened, were my birthday presents. Yeah, presents. Normally, I only get one present from my parents, like the dragon scale last year. But there was another one this year, apart from my parents’ one.
(Lupin) “Do you know, who brought this?”
(Martin) “Nope. Have you made a friend?”
(Lupin) “No, at least I don’t know.”
Sure I know! But it can’t be Victima, can it?
(Aurora) “I would be surprised if you knew. With peers, you don’t come along, older people would do it different, and younger ones would be either too undecided, or would give it to you directly. But still, who brought it then? The unknown person is without a doubt very skilled, because it is packed in bark, and that very detailed. But the writing is from a small child, not even I can decipher it…. Vlcfnma? Vlcfrma? Vlcfima? These are not it….”
What could she have made as a present? She is just staying in the forest, right…? Or… was it her, who was mentioned in the rumours three days ago? Where a monster wanted to buy an accessory in the middle of the night? Where would she have the money from...
After I have opened the box, I was relieved. Victima doesn’t seem to be the one mentioned in the rumours… But there are various items of the forest. For example a great amount of Sanis herb, some pebbles of Aeternitum ore, Horns of horned rabbits (Has she seen, how I have eaten them?), even a small storage bag with a wyvern corpse! Where does she have the storage bag from? But the most surprising one were these raspberry-like fruits.
(Lupin) “Mom, do you know, what these fruits are?”
[Martin almost faints]
(Aurora) “No... I don't know them.”
(Martin) “Listen to me boy. You have gotten these many of them, and you really don’t know who made this present? One of these fruits is, if in bad condition, worth three big silvers. In peak condition, one is worth 1 gold. Even if they are as big as my thumb nail. And you have gotten this much of them as A F***ING PRESENT!!! Do you know now, what you have gotten?!?!? This much would probably be enough to make a marriage proposal to the princess!
These are Ambrosia Berries. You see the flesh of this fruit? You can make one weak potion out of it. But that is not even the most valuable part! The core contains a fluid, which is the most powerful potion itself. If combined with the correct ingredients, it can even revive the dead! DO YOU UNDERSTAND KNOW?!?”
(all others) “--- WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???”
Then, after we all calmed down, I opened the present of my parents, and I was too surprised. I got vouchers for various stuff, an entry ticket to hot spring, 3 big gold, and the most surprising one was the one, that was at the bottom. My parents have enrolled my in the elite adventurer academy three years in advance, although only humans are allowed there.
(Lupin) “But, I am not allowed to enroll at that academy?”
(Aurora) “Don’t worry, we found a loophole. The phrasing says: . If biological or adopted, it doesn’t say. And we’re not the first ones to find this loophole. “
The third thing happened at Victimas house. When I visited her, she also had congratulated me. She is now 17 years old and has mentally caught up now. She is like a great friend to me now. This day was somehow different, as if she had to conceal something. Her face is completely red too. In the last months her face got red whenever I met her.
(Lupin) “Uhm. Everything okay?”
(Victima) “Y-yeah. Did you like the present?”
(Lupin) “sure. My dad was completely upset by the amount of Ambrosia berries, because they are extremely valuable. By the way, when is your birthday?”
(Victima) “It should be in this month too sometime. But I don’t know more than that anymore.”
(Lupin) “Well, either way, I have got a present for you too.”
(Victima) “A-a-a pre-present? F-for me?”
(Lupin) “Why shouldn’t I have one for my best friend?”
‘Pouch, Accessory’
Aevifagr Fifrilitr >
‘Pfft!’
Mithril isn’t that rare, and it might be not that strong, but its Rank is A, after all. Most Rank B adventurers have a Mithril gear. Goldmithril is a legacy of 9 Gold to 1 mithril. And Gold is not rare in this world. By the way, the effects were random.
(Victima) “Best… Friend…”
(Lupin) “Victima? Uhm.. I got your present.”
(Victima) “Huh? A-a-a-a necklace?”
(Lupin) “Yeah.”
To describe the necklace: It is made out of woven Goldmithril strings, and these strings are woven in a pattern of blossoms and flowers.. Then there is also a butterfly in the middle, which has a small emerald in his middle. Although I was worse than the worst in manual work in my old world, in this one here I seem to be a coordination expert.
[After Victima put it on]
(Lupin) “It suits you.”
(Victima) “Th-thanks…”
[after a silence of some seconds]
(Victima) “Lupin…”
(Lupin) “Yeah?”
(Victima) “I… I-i…. I….”
(Lupin) “What is it?”
(Victima) *inhales, then shouts* “I love you, Lupin!” *faints*
Uhm. Okay. I haven’t expected that. I like her too, but I don’t… Well, actually, I do. She is friendly, and beautiful, if you watch good enough. She would have swept countless men off their feet if whatever happened with that glasses-guy wouldn’t have happened. I should lay her on bed. And I should write her a message. *scribble, write*
[Victima, I love you too. But you don’t have to be embarrassed by that. With that chain you can communicate telepathically with me, by the way, and you can see perfectly clear in the night. I have to go back to my family, so see you tomorrow!]
While I walked back, I have thought about something: What, if my parents would have heard that? What, if they already know about her? As they have reacted today, I’d say, that they don’t know, but how should I know?
As I have gotten back, my parents haven’t said anything. Luckily.
The fourth and last thing which happened, was at the day after my birthday. Lenius ate regularly human food since some time. He said, it tastes better. There was no problem with that, in fact, he even had table manners. It was a weird thing, but as a celebration for our seventh year anniversary, I went to a restaurant with him today. Everybody was upset, but they had nothing to say, as I paid the price. And everybody was surprised, as they saw, that Lenius has even better table manners than I have. Which embarrassed me a bit, but no can do. He was grown-up since two years by the way, and is even able to talk, but it is pretty difficult.
But the really important thing happened, when we were at home again. At night, he was suffering great pain. It looked like he would evolve, so I was looking after him, while trying to suppress the pain, but it didn’t help much. Lenius once said >>The greater the pain, the greater the difference after evolution.
While I was getting water, his screams of pain suddenly stopped, and I want inside to look. There was no rabbit anymore…. But a bunnygirl. I always thought, Lenius was a boy… I am kind of ashamed. And…. she had no clothes. To tell you how she looks like now: long silvery hair to her waist, bunny ears, slender and very voluptuous, and she has small claws instead of nails. She also has three horns at her head, but no bunny tail.
(Lupin) “Mom, Dad, we need some clothes for a woman.”
(Aurora) *yawn* “What is the problem, Lupin… eh, what?”
(Lupin) “Lenius evolved. And is a bunnygirl now.”
(Martin) “WHAT HAVE YOU SAID, SON?!”
(Aurora) “Lenius is a girl?”
(Martin) *yawn* “We need some clothes now… Do you think, the clothes of my mother will fit her?”
(Aurora) “I’m not even sure, who is curvier. We should try. But I will do it, not you two.”
[After two or three minutes] “They fit!”
(Martin) “How good?”
(Aurora) “Barely.”
(Lupin) “Mom, are harems in this country allowed?”
(Aurora) “You are still too young for that, son!”
(Martin) “Have you forgotten, what he told us when he was three years old? Son, short: Yeah, up to 5 wives. Special conditions allow even more, but that must be permitted by either the landlord or the king. And you have to love them all, not just have them for sexual intercourse. There will be a test for every marriage.”
(Lupin) “Thanks for the information!”
After I got to know that, my mom got enraged, and Dad hat to work extra hours to get away from her rage.
The next big story was the enrollment in the elite academy, with fifteen years, if I haven’t forgotten anything. I will tell you about that very detailed.

Every sailor knows the tale of Davy Jones' Locker. That place drowned sailors are sent to, ever resting on sea's bed. Some tales recount of a ghostly ship, the Flying Dutchman. Many a story has spawned from these two tales. Countless retellings mixing in their own fictions. But all stories spawn with a kernel of truth to them, and the story of Davy Jones is no exception. Those who've met the legendary seaman and his ghostly ship might call him a ferryman, escorting the drowned to their respective afterlives. Others might call him a devil, meting punishment on those deserving. The true story is always slightly different. Davy Jones is a ferryman, but not one for the afterlife, as Walter finds out. No, Davy Jones manages those who die at sea while in debt, and Walter died with a lot of debt. Unable to pay, Davy puts Walter to work. The specter has just the job for the dead college graduate. Another god, Sod, needs an afterlife for his new world. Davy tasks Walter with the job. Suddenly, Walter finds himself having to run a fledgling underworld with little instruction from Sod. To top it off, the denizens of Sod's world have their own ambitions to achieve godhood, and they won't take kindly to Sod's newest employee shaking up the status quo. [Traumatizing Content tag is up just to let everyone know this will be a story that deals with different themes of death. Some of them won't be nice and so better to be safe than sorry.]
