"How are you Ashok?"asked the elder man in a very low and polite manner.
Ashok on the other hand was looking at the old man's appearance. Long white beard and bald head; Standing while holding a stick in his skinny left hand and wearing a loose white shirt and brown pants with a smile on his wrinkled face which looks a little bit scary.
But Ashok paid more attention to the status bar of the elderly man before him.

Worthy of being the village chief assigned by the Sahara Empire.Nobody can think this elder is the strongest guy in the village.
This is one of the things he had from his past experience. You can never judge a person living in Antack with his looks and age.
Many players have suffered because they unintentionally provoke guys. They should never have.
Thinking so, Ashok stopped looking at the status bar of the village Chief and replied to him.
"I am doing well, Sir"
"That's good to know,"said Ajay and looked at Ranjan and nodded.
"I think your uncle had already told you that I will coming to pick you up"
Nodded Ashok and said goodbye to his uncle and started walking side by side with Ajay towards the village school.
The Greenwood Village was a medium size village with a population of three hundred. Most of the villagers are farmers or hunters.
The village school of Greenwood Village are of traditional ancient Indian style where in an open space under a tree, students sit cross-legged on mats.
while teachers stand before the board and explain to the students about the different subjects.
In a small village like greenwood. childrens can only gain basic knowledge of language, elementary level maths, environment science and general knowledge.
All of these are more than sufficient enough for the village children. If someone wants to go further they have to leave the village and go to a big town or city and pass an entrance exam to get accepted.
Ashok also has gone through advanced education. Which can be comparable to the junior high school students of earth.
A scholar on the other hand has knowledge of a high school graduate.
"Well the standard of God Retribution world may seem low in the beginning but only those who dig deeper can find the answer or the scientists of earth will not be so crazy about God Retribution world in his previous life"thought Ashok as he looked at the semi naked children sitting before him and smiled.
"Good morning everyone, how are you guys?"
"Good morning teacher, we are doing fine"
Hearing that Ashok smiled"Ok, So I hope everyone is ready for the class. Today we are going start by learn about prime numbers in maths subject as a start"
[Four hours later]
"Ok, everyone, we are done with our class for today. I hope you guys go home and revise that I have told you today"Said Ashok with a gentle smile.
"Ok, teacher"shouted the small children
Nodded Ashok and dismissed the class. All the students quickly left after their mother came.
Ashok looked at the Village Chief who was here to take him back home.
"Sir, sorry to make you wait"said Ashok
Ajay nodded as both of them started walking towards his house.
On the way, Ashok tried to gain as much information he could gather from All about the geographic location of the village and the various problems faced by the villagers and the adjourned villages and tried to refresh his past memories.
On his way back, he will hear continuous ding sounds and found that all of those questions are getting added to his list of questions he can share with players.
Quest which he can issue were green in colour while red colour quest shows that he doesn't have the required authority or his reputation didn't meet the requirements.
Reaching the door steps of his uncle's house. Ashok heard the sound of a hammer hitting the metal.
Ting..Ting..
"It seems like your Uncle is busy with his work. He is really a hard-working man."
Ashok smiled and nodded to Ajay and thanked him and entered the house.
Entering inside, Ashok went and took a bath to clean himself of all the dust and sweat as well as change his clothes.
His Uncle was still inside the workshop forging tools and so he had nothing to do and decided to return back to his room.
Picking up a copy and classic ink pen, Ashok started writing all the information he had gathered about the surrounding and the quest available from repeatable one to non repeatable.
It took him about two hours to write them all down as he smiles with his hands paining due to continuous writing at fast speed.
'Now, I am ready all that is left is for the arrival of the player's and for the first part of the quest to end."
Thinking so Asoka looked at the status bar which was showing 65%evaluation completed
He was both excited and worried that later he would be disappointed if the results didn't meet his high expectations.
"Well, I can do nothing but wait and hope my expectations come true. Then in the future I would have to worry about the money for traveling or doing many other things."muttered Ashok.
when he stopped hearing the sound of hammering and went out to find his Uncle who was ditched in sweat showing off his muscular body as drops of sweat flowed down his chin dropping on the ground.
"oh! Ashoka, you have returned. Just wait a little, I will take a shower and prepare lunch."
"Don't worry, it's still early and I am not feeling hungry currently. So, you can take some rest after taking the shower after you must not push yourself too much, uncle."
Seeing his nephew worried looks, he laughed.
"Hahaha, its work is nothing. I don't even think this tiny work is pushing my limit. But what about you? How did the class go? I think kids were happy to see you after a long time."
"Yes, they were uncles and it relieved my heart on seeing their happy smiles and reminded me why I even want to become a scholar."
"I will one day definitely revisit the imperial city and will prove them wrong and their ideology that a village kid cannot become a true scholar."
Feeling the newfound determination and confidence in nephew 's voice, Ranjan was happy.
"I know, you will one day do it and make us proud."said Ranjan as he patted Ashok's shoulder and went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready to make lunch.
