The afternoon sky and strong winds occasionally shook the body of the little boy who was carrying on the body of an adult man.
The smell of the lake water entered his nose with a wide smile that could not be separated from the face as his hands continued to play the bag containing dozens of gold pieces from selling the results of his hunt.
These ninety gold pieces represent Xernathan's biggest income over the past year. Even two fifty-year-old fish-monsters a week ago he could cost only fifty gold pieces.
Truly today was a big lucky day for Xernathan for over a year, other than when he first realized he was getting a chance to repeat his life.
The three things he got today were the quality of ghapantsa bones, the deer monster gems and also ninety pieces of gold.

At home, Xernathan's mother awaits the return of her son with anxious expectation.
From dawn the boy left home and came home this afternoon. Not to mention when he heard the stories and reprimands of the people he met at the market this morning about the horrors of the Syclla forest, making the heart of a mother in her twenties later became restless waiting for the return of her child.
"Mother.. Gavin.." From a distance of about twenty meters Xernathan shouted loudly when he saw his mother and sister were lifting clothes clothesline.
Xernathan pleasures while twisting the bag containing the gold pieces in his hand.
The man from the harbor to the house carried Xernathan laughing at the boy's behavior.
'This won't be a fun thing..' Xernathan shook his head as he looked at his mother's flat face from close range. The look on Xernathan's face turned into a sense of resignation.
"Thank you sir.." Xernathan gave a bronze to the man who carried him home. The man refused because he felt enough with the two pieces of gold given by Xernathan before, but Xernathan still forced.
-
Taasses.. A hard slap was received by Xernathan's cheek as he was seen sitting in the living room chair inside his house.
Xernathan's mother felt unacceptable to see the condition of her son who is now in a cradle and limped when entering the house.
"Your mother said you don't have to help your mother make money.."
"Look at your current condition.see.."
The house was silent when Xernathan's mother stopped screaming. Even five-year-old Gavin understood not to speak in these circumstances.
Xernathan's mother worked as a recipient of laundry services in their home. Many family couples choose to wash their clothes on Xernathan's mother and leave their children to daycare and the parents both father and mother work outside the home.
Therefore, not a few who use the services of washing clothes Xernathan's mother. Silver or bronze is more than enough to meet the needs of their small family.
"If you feel a lack of treasure, you can find more for you"
"if you want to work to help your mother, please help your mother work"
Xernathan's mother felt her current feelings mixed between worry, anxiety, fear and anything to make her lips quiver while speaking. Begging his son with eyes.
Xernathan's mother was good at finding silver and even gold. From some of the books that Xernathan's mother had read, making Him not once out of sense how to find treasure to make it and his two children are not once lacking and difficult to survive so far.
He can do many things. Like cleaning the house or selling their garden in the city market. But a stubborn child like Xernathan can see the person he loves doing such a rough job.
Many times he was angered, many times he came home smiling with a big laugh with a bag of gold and silver in his hand.
"Mothers only have Nathan and Gavin.."
Xernathan lowered his head listening to that. He knew exactly what his mother meant. But no other choice forced Xernathan to choose that path.
'I have been vowing since the first day I returned to this life..' Xernathan clenched his hand.
'I will still have to get stronger'
'I'll stop the world war and I'll meet my father'
'I'm sorry Nathan mom.'
In his first life Xernathan lost one by one his loved ones. His mother died when the war broke out. When that happened, Xernathan did not do much because his life was exhausted in the pursuit of escape.
Xernathan runs around with his mother and another woman, but the war is so great. That made him unable to run any further.
Eventually he lost two people at once who were the last two most important figures for his life. It was Xernathan's greatest regret in his life and at that time Xernathan was disappointed in himself, why he didn't die with his mother and a woman he loved. Why didn't he do something to himself who was very weak at the time.
The rest of Xernathan's first life was exhausted to regret his weakness.
From then on, Xernathan promises in this life that he will not be weak to protect his mother, brother, the inhabitants of the Cyclops island and those he cares about.

With a limp he held his weight and kept his balance by holding the wall of the house Xernathan walked slowly towards his room.
Xernathan looked at the hundreds of pieces of gold and silver he had stored all this time. Even most of the gold and silver he had given to his mother before.
But what is in him is still not a small amount for children his age even a family.
"I'm the richest kid on Cyclops Island right now, I'm not even sure my father used to have a higher amount of wealth or even my equivalent'
Looking at the dozens of other monster gems that he had Xernathan's eyes looked sparkling for a moment.
'A week from now on, the real journey of my life will begin' Xernathan clenched his hand remembering that there will be an event that will be the most important key in his life.
'I must immediately unlock my Qi usage ability, I cannot leave with this kind of injured state.'
Qi is the inner energy that a person can have in a certain way. It can be with accost for years or with certain physical exercises for several years.
Qi and life energy can be differentiated according to their usefulness. If the energy of life is the energy possessed by humans or living things in general. Then Qi is a spiritual power that is possessed for several reasons.
In Xernathan's first life he had Qi because of his hard training during that time.
But at the moment Xernathan does not have much time to practice especially if it has to be ascetic which will spend the longest time.
Qi is divided into five levels, namely the basic level, the lower level, the middle level, the upper level and the last is the peak level.
Each level in mastering Qi can be distinguished from the amount of energy stored in a person's body. Each level of Qi also has advanced capabilities and uses as well.
People who master basic Qi levels usually have a deep energy storage in their body of one to fifty inner energy circles.
But that amount is enough to increase the ability of the human senses and strengthen the internal organs to make a person can have a long life.
In fact, if one was already able to store as much Qi as more than thirty circles, then the owner would gain the ability to regenerate very quickly, a hundred times faster than ordinary people in general. Except for the missing limb.
