Chapter 8 - What Does the Death Love?

I stood there for a minute, processing the information from the notification. Lifespan?! Really, my attribute panel can now show such stat as Lifespan? It is unbelievable and at the same time, I felt as if my heart is in someone's grasp. Somebody is watching me right now I don't know who that person is, maybe it is not even a person.

"Master, is everything alright?" Feefee asked in concern.

"Yeah, sorry, I was just kept in my thoughts."

Calm down first, I don't have enough time right now, the training is starting soon. After that, I will deal with all new information and titles I got.

I ran to the Baby Tree of Life and separated with Feefee. She was reluctant to stay with Elder, but I told her that, he had been worried about her and wanted to listen about our exploration. Only after my explanation she enthusiastically started telling the Baby Tree of Life about dangerous dark forest zone as she called it.

I arrived at our training field on the other side of the village, fortunately, I wasn't late and William still didn't show up. Boys greeted me, and we started discussing how we should improve our strategy for the game.

"Let us do this, if we spot a person with the ring, everybody will surround him," said Rou.

He was the tallest out of all, had a small scar on his chin, green eyes and brunette hair.

"And how are you gonna spot that person?" asked Gilbert.

Gilbert looks were not remarkable, black eyes and hair, tanned skin, there weren't any scars or birthmark on him. However, there was always something special when he spoke, some kind of oppression.

In my previous life Gilbert and Rou didn't like each other they constantly competed in some meaningless games and tournaments. For example, once, they decided not to sleep at all. The one who fell asleep would be a lackey of the winner for a week. Eventually, they didn't last long, after one day; they dropped off together.

Rou wanted to retort but didn't find any words.

"I don't think there should be any tactic; it is a game to make us stronger, so there is no other way than be faster or stronger," said John.

John wasn't a talkative kid but when he talks every word was spot on, his bangs were closing his eyes and it was impossible to fully perceive any expressions.

We all agreed with him and decided to use pure physical abilities.

Master William arrived after a few minutes. We all greeted him with a formal bow, after that we started the game again.

This time I was always the one to catch, during the training I felt how my (Increased Movement Speed) skill effects my success rate. Actually, it wasn't much but at the same time, the level is just 1, so later one it will be more significant.

"Training is over, tomorrow there are going to be some changes," said senior William and jumped off the tree.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

When we all started leaving, I noticed Fiona coming to Master William with a troubled look. They started talking about something, if not for my ability to read lips, I would never tell that they were discussing how she should start her individual training.

So my guess was correct, she wants sir William to become her Master as well. Surprisingly, I can't remember anything particular about Fiona. In my memories of the future, she was accepted to the magic academy where she disappeared. I tried to investigate the matter but it was in vain.

I returned home and greeted my father, every morning he leaves for his personal training and it is very difficult to find him during that time.

"How was the training, Alexander?"

"It was fine, Dad, I think I became a little bit faster than yesterday."

"Hahaha, yeah, training makes us better, keep your hard work and you will see even greater results," laughed my father and cheered me.

"I am proud of you, honey."

"Thank you, Mom."

We all started having lunch, however, my thoughts were all about my new title and notification I received today. Thus, after I finished, I went up to my room and opened my attribute panel to see the changes.

(Imprint of the Death Lover) Type: Tatoo | Rank: Mythical

Description:

Thank you, Alexander, it was a very pleasant surprise for me to see you interfering with fate. Thanks to your help I got even more lifespan than was assigned, it made my youthful heart tremble when I looked at you. Here is my small kiss as a sign of gratitude, check your ring finger, and if you are a little bit bored you can come and see me whenever you like.

(???), Vision of the lifespan of other creatures neglecting the levels and concealing effects, Increased regeneration, (Death Aura), creatures with Death affinity fear you.

And I thought that I am too overpowered before. It doesn't even make any sense, (Lover of the Death) implies that I am the one who loves it, not the other way around. I don't really have any feelings about the Death, there is no chance to see the real appearance of the Death and now I am her beloved man? Just because I save a small rabbit?

I sighed and looked out of the window; my life is getting harder and harder. This new title explains my feeling of being watched. Something is planted inside my soul and heart to keep me in check. I am just 5 years old; how am I supposed to cheat on the Death? However, the benefits I obtained is far too tempting for me, there are also some question marks what do they mean? Nevermind then, I don't have time for experiments and research. Eh... There is no way I will refuse it and I don't really have a choice right. Ok... Then let me see what is the new skill.
