I spent an hour playing with the twins. I used my 'Forge' powers to create toys and things like that, the kids were super happy and played a lot, eventually they got tired and went to sleep. Children are innocent and funny, but at the same time easy to be bored with, I leave the house as soon as they have slept.
I go out walking through wooden 'bridges', probably because of floods, although rustic is an effective way to keep things going despite the weather. Bridges make a crackling sound when I walk, but they do not look like they're going to break, these things were meant to last.
during the way, I pass by some of the villagers they look at me frightened by my size and poker face, I do not want to seem a threat to these people so I open a small but friendly smile. some people return the smile but some are afraid of my intentions.
Anyway, I continue to explore the village, what I can realize is that it is a very poor village, the houses are made of wood with holes and the roofs of leaves. People dress poorly and are thin. The clothes are in the style of the Roman tunica, a square cloth with a hole in the middle, and two holes for the arms and then tie a rope at the waist. As the Parrot has already told me, there is almost no agriculture here, they all depend on the fishery.
I expected something more mystical, like a city with a great sect that has thousands of disciples or a mystical forest. In the end I'm a village in the middle of nowhere. But I'm not disappointed ... it may have something to do with the fact that I do not have a 'life story' or because I'm immortal now, but I have a lot of conflicting emotions. I want to go out and conquer the world, but at the same time I want to find a quiet corner and relax. I want attention but I also want to go unnoticed. Strange, right?
I think looking at the shop to find some skill that can solve this, but before I call the system I decide that it is best not to. Perhaps the best way to solve this is by arranging some hobby or a friend.
During my walk, another thought came to me, I have to fix my system. I arrange a depopulated corner and begin to create and fulfill some missions that will modify the system.
From now on I am able to communicate with the system mentally and I also create an inventory. I had another major internal debate about how to create my inventory. I decided that I would create an infinite space where only the items purchased by the system would enter there. For other items I can solve this by buying space rings in the Shop.
With nothing else to do, I decide to go back to Parrot house.
After losing the way three times I finally get there.

[I'm not lost!]
-Find your way to the parrot house
Reward: Sense of direction in the Haiyu village is improved

'hehe' Even these little missions give a feeling of delight after finishing.
As soon as I enter the house I notice a heavy humor for the place, in the corner I see the two twins trying to calm the Parrot.
As soon as he sees me, his eyes fill with tears and he prostrates himself at my feet.
"sob... I-I'm sorry..i-I tried to go to the Lord b-but the guards found me with money and they said I had s-stolen! T-They took... sob... all the money you gave me!" he speak crying.
Honestly, I'm pissed! But at the same time I'm happy! Finally a reason to take action! I keep the usual lines of hero and speak:
"It's alright Parrot, the important thing is you! Did they hurt you?"
"They did not, b-but ..." he says without looking at me.
"Remember that you told me last night you thought I was a mysterious creature from the bottom of the sea?" I keep my face calm and serene voice.
"Y-yes!" Now he stares at me with bright eyes full of hope ... I think it's funny, but he's a 13-year-old in an old-fashioned world, I can not judge.
"Well, I'm not a mysterious ocean creature ... hey, do not be discouraged, I'm something much better than you think, get up, let's get the money back!"
I do not know ... I feel that lack a bit of heroism in the speech .... but it seems to be enough, the boy gets up and starts giving me some details of the guards.
They are only 3 guards, they are bastard sons of the main members of the Haiyu family, they are cultivators and known to cause problems for the villagers, but since they are bastards no one has the courage to go and complain to the Lord.
Even though they are cultivators, I'm pretty confident. I have the powers of Wolve and am of a race far superior to humans. The only bad thing is that this is not the classic plot 'rich young master' or 'beautiful tsundere'. But getting beat up bastard thieves is not all that bad.

Toward the three guards a white-haired giant and a skinny boy are approaching.
