The Seirei Gensouki Spirit Chronicles
Chapter 02: The Resurrection

Year 991 of the Sacred Calendar.Continent Yufilia, Kingdom of Beltram.At the corner of the slums of the Capital, with his chest in great pain, a boy lay on the ground.

“Ha~, ha~..”

Even after opening his eyes, the sadness he felt could not go away, nor could he

you can avoid that pain. Knowing that, the boy clasped his chest

stout-strong.

Before he knew it, his body was full of sweat. His whole body feels hot. It felt like his body was burning. Suddenly, like a miracle,

the agony he felt slowly disappeared, and warmth began to spread throughout his body.

(What was that.?)

The boy could not understand what had happened, it was just that the painful feelings were slowly beginning to disappear.

When he calmed down, he looked

surrounding him. It was a dark and dirty alley filled with simple wooden houses.

An unpleasant smell entered his nose. He frowned at the smell, but thanks to that smell his head felt a little better.

He did not remember anything that had happened during his sleep. At that moment, the boy realized that he had fallen asleep on the ground.

He's wearing dirty clothes. She felt the need to do something about her clothes, but she felt that it could still hold up. Raising his face, a bright blue sky reflected on his eyes.

(What is this uncomfortable feeling? and why am I lying on the street?) After waking up, he still could not think clearly even though he remembered he had never drank sake.

He looked at the surrounding houses that looked unusual before realizing that the architecture was very different from the Japanese-style wooden houses he knew.

Moreover, his body was not in such a good condition. Maybe it was due to falling asleep on the road with the cold weather. His joints hurt too.

(!?)

Trying to move his body again, he realized something. Shouts can be heard in

in his head.

What he saw was the body of a child. I should have been a student. No, I should have been an orphan.

(What does this mean?)

The boy was confused at his overlapping memories. Think slowly

about this matter, and directed his gaze towards his own hands and feet.

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

Moreover, his skin was dry and his body was thin due to malnutrition and was filled with dirt.

The boy tried to think back calmly, there was no memory of him ever bathing.

(That's right.).

She accidentally took out a tsukkomi on herself after seeing her

sordid. The clothes he was wearing were made of shabby cloth.

Of course, he did not have a pair of shoes. However, he still felt grateful that he at least had something to wear.

He did not know what his face looked like, but from his long bangs, he saw his slightly dirty black hair.

His limbs were in a state similar to his clothes, but his mind was

no. gabe.

Calming his mind, he tried to assess the situation. The name of the child is

Rio, and also Amakawa Haruto.

Recalling his memories, it was a 7-year-old child in this world, as well as a 20-year-old Japanese man.

Dizziness strikes him because of his overwhelming hunger. After ascertaining the situation, he sat on the ground and began to think. He, as Amakawa haruto who still has

memories before he died. She also had memories of Rio's life until now.

He did not know the reason why he had been unconscious on the side of the road a while ago,

but for now, it's not important.

Having knowledge of Amakawa Haruto along with Rio's memories, he concluded

that at this moment, he is not on Earth. Rio is an orphan without

education, but he knew the name of the country he occupied.

Judging from the level of civilization and considering the circumstances and other factors made it to the realization that this country is not located on Earth that Amakawa Haruto knows.

Perhaps, he has reincarnated.

(But it's really hard to believe.no, there might still be some.

is it possible that this is a dream?)

But when Rio thought harder regarding the situation, it was likely that this was

dreams are very small.

His mind was too clear to state that it was a dream. Calming himself, he tried, but failed to find any strangeness in him.

Most likely, it was an influenza-like symptom that caused his joints

feels pain. This was the reality and he had already convinced himself.

Rio had never heard of the existence of this country before on Earth. Things like kings and nobles, there were so many orphans who became slaves, the absence of electricity and also some products produced from science.

Besides, there are monsters in this world.

It is not a dream nor is it Earth.

Currently, Rio was in the slum district of the Royal Capital of Beltram.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that his condition would be very deteriorating and if it continued like that, soon he would die. It seems like Rio was able to survive until now thanks to luck.

Only the luckiest orphans can live in an orphanage. For them

living in the slums, they must keep fighting to survive looking for

leftovers and also pickpocketing.

If his luck was good, he would be able to buy some cheap hard bread with the money he got.

It is not surprising that he is deficient in nutrients. That was what Rio did every day to survive. In this kind of condition, to be honest, it wouldn't be strange if he fainted and died on the streets.

For a time, he had to get some food, but judging from the situation

it seems like it can still survive.

It is not uncommon for a weak orphan to make a group, but because of his unusual black hair, Rio

excommunicated by other groups of orphans.

As a result, it was extremely difficult for him to cooperate with the other orphans. He managed to survive until now also thanks to his own efforts.

(Now I have to find a job and a place to live, but.).

It was hard to find a workplace that would employ an orphan.

Most of them treated orphans as if they had never

there are. Even if he could find a job by chance, it would only be

hard work for a small wage.

That way, Rio started to think about what advantages he had in this world.

the skills he had before might be useful.

Most of these abilities

his possession was an ability from his previous life. He can count, which

it means it has a great advantage.

Fortunately, the country is already using the decimal system. Other abilities that seem useful, namely martial arts, cooking, and various kinds of abilities to do daily activities.

He remembered how to do all that. But right now, he had no social status so he would not be able to utilize his abilities. And anyway, he

it would not be able to solve the problem if he continued to remain silent here.

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

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

a faint light was being emitted from the bodies of the people.

At first he thought it was just his delusion, but it did not disappear even after he

trying to refocus his eyes.

The amount of light emitted varies from person to person, and most only

they emit a small amount of light.

He had seen many people since his memory awakened, so he was convinced that his ability to measure the amount of light emitted was accurate.

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

the number is bigger than everyone else.

No, maybe he still didn't know too much about the matter. Looking at others, there was no way the radiance would become infinite.

Just as the steam rising from the water boils and dissolves into the air, light also comes out of the

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

At the same time, he became extremely sensitive to that light, as if he could sense the surrounding state through his five senses.

Through his own eyes, he could see anything in this world related to

light, as if it were his own eyes.

He was able to understand one of the qualities of

that mysterious light. He could expand it so that he could see many things

it cannot be seen by people in general.

(I have an unpleasant feeling at the function of the new light which can improve my vision.).

Expanding his senses gave a feeling similar to his soul out of

his body. By suddenly being able to raise his sighter like that, questions arose

in his mind.

Was he the only one who could see the light?

Since the amount of light emitted from his body was abnormal, Rio understood that he might just be in a dangerous state.

Now, he had to find a place away from people. Rio immediately left

the main road and go to the dark alley and sit alone on the cold ground.

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

in his physical condition. He must be patient.

He thought so with a calm mind.

Rio started meditating, he fused his mind and body into one. She didn't

to think that the martial arts he learned from his grandfather would become useful in those moments

like these.

He could still hear the crowd on the streets, he had already wasted a lot of time. Does anyone know how long he has been meditating? His mind crossed his limit.

After uniting his mind and body, Rio felt an incredible amount of energy

it flows throughout his body.

The power was like blood flowing through his body. The light is actually

is magic. The magic power radiating out from his body could not be felt by

the nakedeye.

Therefore, Rio instinctively understood that he needed a strong imagination to control magic power.

(All right.).

Feeling confident in his speculation, Rio slowly and carefully began to reduce

the amount of magic power that came out of his body. It was the same feeling as erasing the air of one's existence.

Not exactly the same, but similar. Understanding how it works, Rio was quickly able to control his magic power.

Now, all of his magic power that was sealed within his body without leaving even the slightest bit flowed out. A feeling that could not be expressed with just words, but somehow he could understand the point.

A small smile appeared on Rio's face.

What light is that?

Now the only change he felt was his senses getting sharper.

And most people only release a little magic power from their bodies. Rio wanted to know, if there was also anyone else who could use magic.

Quantity against quality meant that he still had to be careful while using it.

For now, he had to hold back the questions that kept popping up inside

his head and tried to reabsorb all the magic power that was around him.

With that, he had ascertained various things. He understood that his magic power could

controlled according to imagination and focused on one point.

But he still doesn't know where to keep all that. Knowledge is still

very limited. After making sure no one was around, Rio released magic power

over his body to test it.

Suddenly, in an instant, he felt a power coursing through his body. It feels like a force to strengthen the body. Judging from the wide variety of changes he observed on his body, he concluded that it was some kind of body strengthening magic.

(... My body feels light.)

He felt as if the inside of his body was filled with power. Rio tried to

test his newfound strength with an ordinary leap.

Despite having the body of a small child, his jump was equivalent to that of an average professional basketball player. Coincidentally he was able to find the strength to strengthen the body.

Sebelumnya dia hanya memahami cara kerjanya secara samar-samar, tapi sekarang dia bisa dengan jelas membayangkan kemampuan untuk memperkuat tubuh.

By removing the restrictions on his brain, he was able to gain the ability to

strengthening his body even greater by imagining his body being enveloped with

magic power.

As expected, it seems like a good idea. Rio imagined to strengthen his body while walking. He did some light movements to ascertain the effect.

As a result, he can make the move

it was impossible for a child in such a bad condition to be able to do so.

(This, it seems like using force to strengthen the body continuously can be done.).

But to do so, he is required to issue more magic power

than usual. Suddenly his body began to hurt. It is clear that every use

overuse will hurt his body.

With his current body, it would not be able to

maintain the ability to strengthen the body for a long time.

An idea popped into his head. Then, he will try and strengthen each

part of each of his body. He envisioned strengthening his endurance on his body and focusing on every fiber of his muscles and bones.

The burden on his body had reduced. It seems like what he did worked. For now, Rio was satisfied with the results of his trial.

But no matter how strong the ability or reinforcement was on his body, it would not

can do anything to get rid of his hunger. Stomach rumbles.

Although the experiment he was doing was interesting, he could not continue it unless he got food.

Looking up at the sky, it was already afternoon.

The night is coming soon. To be honest, he had no money or way of getting food through decent means.

In the worst case, he had been prepared not to eat on this day. But at least, at least,

he wanted to have some kind of purpose. For now and for the sake of his life, he had to search

instructions to get money. Rio left that place.

Walking with shaky steps towards the market, a large building was suddenly seen.

He could not read what was written on the board, but he knew that the building belonged to the Adventurers Guild. He could earn money by becoming an adventurer.

But Rio immediately dispelled the idea as he was still a minor. One of the rules

The Adventurers Guild was that they would hire people who were 12 years old

more.

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

In Japan it is also the same that the minimum working limit is 12 years, but most in this place do not have an age limit. Because hiring children can be useful during war.

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 unclear. Rio imagined them only

risking their lives just to obtain some materials to sell.

In that case, there was no rule that forbade him to gather materials and

selling itself. Only, his customers were not Adventurers Guilds.

Maybe the traders.

Rio decided to investigate the item that would most likely be purchased by the para

tradesman. He immediately ran the idea and headed to the market according to the map of the capital

which is in his mind.

“Oi bad boy! What the hell are you looking at? Go there!”

However, when Rio looked around at the merchandise in the market, the sharp eyes of a shopkeeper looked at him and shouted threateningly at him.

Traders are wary of children

orphaned as they usually attempt to steal their wares. Child

orphans are treated badly in the market.

Since some orphans had little money, they were not immediately expelled,

but the merchants will watch and be careful not to be stolen.

An orphan who only sees the merchandise in the market will indeed steal. Thanks to that, Rio could not even freely browse the market.

If it continued like this, he had no choice but to look for another way to earn money. Since he now had no food for himself, he could only search for leftovers.

Rio was forced to look for anything he could eat to fill his stomach, but as Amakawa Haruto, he was against it.

Rio decided to make use of the ancient martial arts abilities that he learned in his previous life. He erased the air of his existence and mixed with the surrounding area.

Since Rio's existence faded in an instant, the merchants didn't really

watch him and stop watching him.

(Good..!)

With the air of his existence being erased, Rio could see that merchandise

displayed in the market.

What to sell? Where to

selling it?

Rio was casually walking while wondering about it.

This ability gives him the opportunity to steal things safely with risk

small one. But he has chosen not to do so.

His morals as Amakawa Haruto, a good Japanese citizen have prevented him. Rio just walked in the middle of the market and did not touch anything.

He was very interested in medicinal plants, plants, and vegetables. Politely, he asked that to the store seller.

While the seller remained wary of Rio, he answered all the questions asked to him after being forced by Rio. Various crops were successfully cultivated on farmland around the capital but some could only grow in the wild.

For certain crops, they had to plant them outside the borders of the capital. Moments

needed, adventurers were usually hired to harvest them. Some adventurers will

buy the plants they harvest with their own money.

Yet for a child like Rio to try and harvest the plant itself would be the same

only by suicide. The seller could only give Rio a sense of sympathy along with

some advice. Receiving the seller's suggestion, Rio could only smile bitterly and utter

thank ye.

It was indeed dangerous, but it was still better than having to sit with a deep stomach

hungrier.

He can strengthen his body.

There was also an ancient martial art from his previous life so that he could fight.

Anyway, he had no other choice but to leave.

But it's almost night.

Before nightfall, he must find something to relieve his hunger so

he stopped thinking about the matter for now.

Without looking for food in the area

garbage disposal as usual, Rio returned to his house in the slums.

To distract from his hunger, he recalls various events

it's a surprise what happened today. The first is the awakening of memories

previous life.

The memories of Amakawa Haruto and he took over as the main personalities, but Rio's memories and consciousness were also still there, which resulted in the two personalities being combined into one. Both sides of it had become the main personalities, fused together

well without problems.

She as Amakawa Haruto received Rio.

And Rio, an orphan, also received Haruto.

In his previous life, Amakawa Haruto's life goal is to find

his childhood friend. Regardless of that goal, given the current situation, he had none

another goal, other than to live as Rio.

Rio also has something to do in this world.

At first, Rio did not live in the slums in poverty.

His father and mother were adventurers. The two of them formed a party and traveled to a foreign country together. When Rio's mother was pregnant with Rio, she quit her job for a while.

Of course, his father still worked even though he was alone. Until then, the two of them had always completed quests together. Then Rio's father made a mistake while running the quest along with the other adventurers. And as a result, he died.

With the death of her husband, Rio's mother raised Rio alone. Using the money he had saved when they were still adventurers, he was somehow able to

raising Rio safely. But that only continued until Rio was 5 years old.

Rio's mother is a seductive beautiful woman. She already had children, but was still young enough for the people around her who were looking at her with lustful gazes.

Making Rio as a hostage, a man who knew his mother for a long time still as

the adventurer raped and killed him. Rio was clearly watching his mother

raped in front of her. At that moment, he made sure to remember the person's name and face.

Rio did not give up and kept trying to stay alive. Even if he had to

eating the leftovers to survive, he vows to avenge

his revenge someday. That desire was stored in his heart even to this day.

But on the other hand, Amakawa Haruto felt uneasy with the feeling of reprisal

his vengeance.

Suddenly the terrible memory of that day repeated itself in his head. The sad Rio, frowned. He shook his head to dispel that thought

and speed up his pace.
