Resurrection

Year 991 of the Sacred Calendar.

Yufilia Continent, Beltram Kingdom.

In one corner of the Capital slum, with his chest full of agony, a boy lay on the ground.

"Ha ~, ha ~ …"

Even after opening his eyes, the sadness he felt could not be extinguished and he could not divert himself from it. Knowing that, the boy still held onto his chest firmly.

Before he noticed, his body was already drenched in sweat.

His whole body feels hot.

It was like his flesh was burning.

Suddenly, like a miracle, the torment subsided and slowly, warmth spread throughout his body.

(What was that.?)

The boy did not understand what had just happened, it was just that the unpleasant feeling was slowly disappearing.

When he calmed down again, he looked around.

It was a gloomy and dirty hallway bounded by crude wooden houses.

An unpleasant smell drifted into his nose. He frowned in the foul air but thanks to the foul smell, his head was slightly pounding.

As for what happened during his sleep, he had no memories.

At that moment, the boy realized that he had been sleeping on the ground.

Dirty clothes hung on his body. He felt the need to do something about his clothes, but thought the clothes could last longer.

Lifting his face, a vast clear blue sky was reflected in his eyes.

(What is that uncomfortable feeling and why am I lying on the street?)

Just waking up, he still could not think clearly despite having no memory of drinking sake.

He noticed the surrounding houses looked unusual before realizing the architecture was very different from the Japanese wooden-style houses he used to visit.

Feeling uncomfortable, the boy lost his mind.

Moreover, his body was not in the best condition. Maybe it was due to being exposed to the cold weather from sleeping on the street. The joints hurt too.

(!?)

Trying to lift his body again, he saw the greatest disaster. Screams rose up on the boy's head.

Entering his sight was the body of a small child.

I should have been a student.

No, I should have been an orphan.

(What does this mean?)

The boy was confused by his overlapping memories.

Thinking slowly about his problem, the boy directed his gaze to his own hands and feet.

It was not the healthy skin of someone living in a rich country like Japan.

In addition, his skin is dry and his body is weak due to malnutrition and covered by dirt.

The boy tried to rearrange his thoughts; there was no memory of him bathing there.

(Strue ..)

She accidentally commits a tsukkomi on herself after witnessing her filthy self.

The clothes he was wearing were made of worn cloth.

Of course, he also did not have a pair of shoes.

However, she still felt grateful that at least she had something to wear.

He was not sure what his face was like, but from his long bangs, he found slightly dirty hair black.

His limbs were in a condition similar to his worn-out clothes but his mind was not in chaos.

Cooling down his mind, he tried to assess the situation.

The boy's name was Rio, it was also Amakawa Haruto.

Looking at his memories, he determined that he was 7 years old in the world today, as well as a 20-year-old Japanese man.

Waves of dizziness hit him due to excessive hunger. After confirming the situation, he sat down on the ground and began to think.

He, because Amakawa Haruto still has memories of his memories before he died.

She also had memories of Rio's daily life until now.

He didn't know the reason why he had been unconscious by the roadside just a moment ago, but for now, it wasn't important.

By having the knowledge of Amakawa Haruto along with obtaining Rio's memories, he concluded that currently, he was not on Earth.

Rio1 is an orphan with no education, but he knows the name of the country he lives in.

Judging from the level of civilization and considering the circumstances as well as other factors led him to arrive at the conclusion that this country was not located on Earth known to Amakawa Haruto.

Maybe he was reincarnated.

(But it's really hard to believe .. no, maybe there's still a chance that this is a dream?)

But when Rio thought harder about the situation, the chances of it becoming a dream greatly decreased.

His mind was too clear to be a dream.

Calming himself, he tried but failed to find any irregularities about her.

At best, it was an influenza-like symptom that caused his joints to ache. This is reality and he has convinced himself that.

Rio had never heard of the existence of this country before on Earth. Things like Kings and nobles, things like countless homeless orphans becoming slaves, the absence of electricity and the products of science. Besides, monsters exist in this world.

It's not a dream nor is it on Earth.

Currently, Rio was in the slum district of the capital of the Beltram Kingdom.

It is no exaggeration to say that his condition is at its lowest and if things continue, he will not last long.

It seemed like it was due to luck that Rio was able to survive until now.

Only the luckiest orphans can live in an orphanage. As for the people living in the slums, it was an endless struggle to survive; searching for food scraps and pick-up bags.

If his luck was good, he would be able to buy cheap hard bread with an amount of money he did not snatch. It is not surprising that he suffers from malnutrition.

That was what Rio did every day to survive.

In such conditions, to be honest, it was not strange that he fell dead on the streets.

For now, he needed to get some food but the thought of his current situation still lingered.

It made sense for the weak orphans to form a group, but due to Rio's unusual black hair he was ostracized by the group of orphans.

As a result, it was extremely difficult for him to cooperate with the other orphans. One way or another, he managed to survive until now alone.

(Now I need to find a job and settle in but ..)

It is difficult to find a workplace where they will hire orphans.

It was very convenient for people to care for orphans as if they had never existed.

Even if he could find one by chance, it would be hard work with low wages.

In that case, Rio was wondering if he had any advantage in this world. The skills it brings may prove to be beneficial.

Most of the skills he had were skills he had developed in his previous life.

He can do mathematical calculations which means he has a big advantage. Fortunately, the country is already using the decimal system.

Other skills that seem to be useful are martial arts, cooking, and other daily living skills.

He was already carving in his head how to use all those skills.

But at the moment, he had no social status so it was difficult for him to make full use of his skills.

Whatever it was, right now there was nothing in this place that could solve his problem.

Feeling the need to ease her hunger, Rio started looking around the city.

And then, Rio noticed another change that had occurred since his memory awakened.

He noticed that a faint light was emitted from the human body.

At first he thought it was just an illusion but it did not disappear even after he tried to refocus his eyes.

The amount of light emitted differs from person to person with the majority only emitting a small amount.

He had already met hundreds of people since his memories rose so he was convinced that his ability to measure the amount of light emitted was quite accurate.

Suddenly, Rio realized his own body was emitting the same light.

The number is much greater than anyone else.

No, it was best to say that his knowledge of the matter was still too limited.

Looking at others, it is impossible for light emissions to be unlimited.

Just as the steam rising from the boiling water dissolved into the air, that light also shot out from Rio's body.

Moreover, the amount of light emitted began to slowly increase.

At the same time, he became increasingly sensitive to that light.

It was as if he could sense his surroundings through his five senses.

Through his own eyes, he could see anything in the world that came into contact with the light as if it were his own eyes. He was able to capture one of the mysterious properties of light.

He can stretch his senses indefinitely allowing him to understand things beyond the capabilities of a normal person.

(I have an unpleasant feeling the only function of light is to improve my perception ..)

The stretching of his senses gave off a feeling similar to his spirit splitting his body. With a sudden increase in perception, a question popped up in his mind.

Is he the only one who can see the light?

Since the amount of light emitted from his body was clearly abnormal, Rio understood that being different could put him in danger.

After all, he needed to find a secluded place away from people. Rio immediately left the main street and entered the back passageway and sat on the cold ground.

The amount of light emitted from his body continued to increase but there was no change to his physical condition.

No need to be impatient.

He thought so with a calm mind.

Rio began to meditate, his mind achieving perfect unity of body and mind2.

He did not expect the martial arts he learned from his grandfather to be useful like that.

While still aware of his hustle and bustle on the streets, a large amount of time passed. Who knows how long he has been meditating? His mind has gone beyond the limit.

After reaching the unity of mind, Rio felt a huge amount of energy pulsing throughout his body.

The power that filled his body was as thick as blood.

The true nature of light is magic.

The magical power radiating out from his body could not be felt by the naked eye.

Therefore, Rio instinctively understood that it takes a strong imagination to control magical power.

It still feels unreal to him.

(Good.).

Feeling certain of the speculation, Rio slowly and carefully began to reduce the amount of magical energy overflowing from his body.

It had the same feeling as removing one's presence.

Not entirely the same but there are similarities.

Understanding the concept, Rio immediately gained control over his magical power.

Now, all of his magical power was sealed within his body without a single speck flowing out.

That feeling could not be expressed with just words, but somehow he got the point.

A faint smile appeared on Rio's face.

But there was a question still lingering in his mind.

Right now the only change he felt was to sharpen his senses.

And most people only release a small amount of magical power from their bodies.

Rio questioned whether there was any other use for it.

The quality of verse quantity means that he still has to carefully think of the right conditions for its use.

For now, he suppressed the questions that kept popping in his head and tried to reabsorb all the magical power surrounding him.

With that, he verified a number of things. He understood that his magical power could slowly move according to his imagination and gather in one place.

But he still did not know where to keep everything.

His knowledge is too limited.

After making sure there were no people around, Rio released his magical power into his body to check.

Suddenly, in an instant, he felt a power flowing all over his body.

It feels like a body strengthening skill.

Judging from the various changes he observed in his body, he concluded it was a form of body strengthening3

(.. My body feels light.)

He felt as if his entrails were filled with strength.

Rio tried to test his new strength with a simple leap. Despite having the body of a child, the height he reached was the same as that of professional basketball players.

Coincidentally he discovered the body strengthening skill. While he had only vaguely grasped the concept before, he could now clearly imagine the body strengthening skill.

By eliminating the limiter of his brain, he would be able to gain the ability to enchant a larger body by imagining his body wrapped in magical power.

As expected, it seems like a good idea.

Rio imagined strengthening the body while walking.

He made some light movements to confirm the effect.

The result is a movement that is considered impossible for boys in poor conditions.

(This, it seems like the continuous use of body strengthening may be ..)

But in order to do so, he was required to bring out more magical power than usual.

Suddenly his body began to scream.

It seemed clear that further use would cause damage to his body.

His flesh could not keep up with his body strengthening technique.

An idea popped into Rio's head. In this case, he would try and strengthen the individual parts of his body. He imagined strengthening his meat endurance and focused on his muscle fibers and bones.

The burden on his body was greatly reduced.

It seems to be true too.

For now, Rio was satisfied with the results of his experiment.

But no matter how strong his abilities or body strengthening were, it could do nothing to suppress his intense hunger. His stomach growled as confirmation.

Although his experiment was interesting, he could not continue unless he could get food.

Looking up at the sky, it was already dusk.

The night is coming soon.

To be honest, he had no money or methods to obtain food through a decent manner.

In the worst case, he was ready to go without food for the day. But at the very least, he wanted to have some sort of purpose.

For now and for the sake of his life, he needed to look for clues to earn money. Rio left the back alley.

Walking unsteadily in the market, a large building was suddenly seen.

He could not read what was written on the signboard but understood that the building belonged to the Advent Guild.

He could earn money by becoming an adventurer.

However Rio immediately dismissed the idea as he was still a minor.

One of the rules of Adventurers' Guild is that they will only hire those who are 12 years of age or older.

Rio had heard other orphans talking about adventurers along with information about the age limit.

The manual work limit is also 12 years old in Japan but in this world, many places have no age limit.

Since working children could also serve as a war potential, many were used for manual labor.

But in the case of adventurers, there are many cases where adventurers cannot get achievements due to the age limit.

Rio was still considering it.

Speaking of adventurers, their work was a bit vague. Rio imagined they were risking their lives in exchange for obtaining raw materials and selling them.

In that case, there was no rule preventing him from collecting materials and selling them himself.

It's just that his customers aren't Guild Adventurers.

Maybe some traders.

Rio decided to investigate the items that the merchant would likely buy.

He immediately materialized his idea and headed for the market according to the map of the capital in his mind.

“Oi boy! What are you looking at? Get out of front of me!"

However when Rio looked around at the commodity in the market, the sharp eyes of a shopkeeper noticed him and threatened him.

The shopkeepers were worried about the orphans as they usually tried to steal things from the market. Orphans are treated badly in the market.

Since some orphans had little money, they were not immediately evicted but the store owner would keep an eye on them in case of theft.

An orphan who only browsed the market stuff would indeed be suspicious.

Thanks to that, Rio could not even freely browse the market.

At the current rate, he had no other choice but to look for another way to earn money.

Since he currently had no food on him, he could only scavenge for leftovers.

Rio was urged to find himself something edible to fill his stomach, but as Amakawa Haruto, he harbors resistance to the idea.

Rio decided to make full use of the ancient martial arts skills he had developed in his previous life.

He erased his presence and fused with his surroundings.

As Rio's existence faded in an instant, the shopkeeper who was only half-heartedly watching him stopped paying attention to him.

(Good...!)

With his presence erased, Rio could see the commodities displayed in the store.

What to sell? Where to sell?

Rio walked leisurely while wondering about it.

This skill gave him the opportunity to steal things safely with little risk.

But he chose not to do it.

His morality as Amakawa Haruto, a respectable Japanese citizen stands in his way.

Rio was just walking in the middle of the shops understanding that he could not touch the various commodities on display.

He was especially interested in medicinal herbs, plants, and vegetables.

As polite as possible, he asked the store seller about the goods.

While the salesman was wary of Rio, he answered all the questions posed to him once he was stubbornly suppressed by Rio.

Various crops were successfully grown on farmland around the capital but some could only grow in the wild.

For such crops, they needed to be planted outside the limits of the capital.

When needed, adventurers were usually hired to harvest them.

Some adventurers would buy the plants they harvested with money from their own pockets.

But for a child like Rio to try and harvest this plant alone would be tantamount to suicide.

That salesperson could only give Rio a sympathetic look along with some advice.

Receiving the salesman's suggestion, Rio could only show a bitter smile and thank him.

It was certainly a dangerous endeavor, but it was still better than sitting on a hungry stomach.

He can do body and flesh strengthening.

There was also an ancient martial art from his previous life so that he could survive on the battlefield.

After all, he had no choice but to leave.

But that day is almost over.

Before the end of the day, he needed to find something to suppress his hunger so that he left those thoughts for a while.

Without looking for any leftovers in the landfill as usual, Rio returned to his home in the slums.

To divert himself from hunger, he recalled the various shocking events that happened that day.

The first event is the awakening of the memory of the previous life.

Memories of Amakawa Haruto and her take over as the main personalities, but Rio's memories and consciousness also still produced two personalities fusing into one.

Both sides became main personalities, both of them fused perfectly without any complications.

She as Amakawa Haruto perfectly accepted Rio.

And Rio, the orphan, also received Amakawa Haruto.

In his previous life, Amakawa Haruto's life goal was to find the whereabouts of his childhood friend.

Regardless of that goal, given his current situation, he had nothing else.

For now, he had no other choice but to live as Rio.

Rio also had something he had to do in this world.

Originally, Rio did not live in a slum in poverty.

His father and mother were adventurers.

The two form a duo and travel to a foreign country together.

When Rio's mother .h.a.m.i.l. with Rio, she took a temporary pension.

Naturally, his father became the sole bread winner for the family.

Until then, the two had always completed the quest together.

Then Rio's father made a mistake during the search with another adventurer.

And as a result died.

With the death of her husband, Rio's mother raised Rio alone.

Using the money saved from their time as adventurers, she was somehow able to safely raise Rio.

But that only continued until Rio was 5 years old.

Rio's mother was a beautiful woman who was filled with an alluring atmosphere.

She already had children but was still young enough for the men around her to send a full gaze .n.a.f.s.u.to her.

Taking Rio as a hostage, a man who knew him during his adventure days and killed him.p.e.r.k.o.s.a.

Rio watched his good mother in.p.e.r.k.o.s.a.in front of him.

At that moment, he made sure to carve the man's name and features into his soul.

Rio did not give up on life. Even if he was forced to search for food scraps to survive, he vowed to someday take revenge.

That wish had secretly burned his heart to this day.

But on the other hand, Amakawa Haruto felt uneasy about revenge.

Suddenly the memory of that terrible day reoccurred in his head.

Rio grieved with a frown.

He shook his head clearing that thought and quickened his pace.
