3rd day of my life in another world
im still not used to it
i miss by bed
my room
my family
here, we sleep anywhere we can lay our back
doesnt matter if its a stone, floor or wood
good thing jess brings cloth as thick as a comforter so we wont catch cold
as i wake up, the sun is about to rise
a good time for chickens to screams every morning
so i clean my so called bed and pack my things then look around
but jess is no where to find
so i look around behind some rocks and i saw him picking something near the bushes
looks like an onion.
is he trying to cook breakfast?
this early?
i wonder how early he wakes up in the morning
"morning"
as usual, i greet him
and he just nod
and so we start cooking our food for this morning
while eating i still wonder what is the thing that we use to kill the pig yesterday
so i ask him
"what is this?"
i ask him while pointing the paper cloth
"pall"
so 'pall' is the thing that does not have any characters written on it
or in other words it is 'empty'
"this... pall atang"
and thats what it called if it has characters and ready to use
and other information about this is that this is one of the most popular item that you can sell in any town.
you can use it from doing house works to fighting monsters
it is made from a wood of a tree
its texture is the same to a animal hide but more flexible like paper
normaly you will get this from a tree far from pollution and located at areas with lots of good energy
there are two types of energy
first is bad energy
it can be found in monsters
whether you kill them or when they use magic attacks
but you can get more of this energy when you kill monsters
and second is good energy
it can be found in nature, wild animals, trees or even rivers
and they store this energy in stones
they use a stone called 'sulpung' to store bad energy
and they use 'sengpet' to store good energy
how they store it?
just bring it with you and this stone will collect it for you
like a magnet but it attracts energy
cool stuff
for the 'pall atang' i'll just call it scrolls
and for the stones
just good stone and bad stone
they use the bad stone to embune the characters in the scroll and they use good stone as weapon or bullet
i learn a lot this time about their way on how to fight
and we are already done eating
time to move
...

we walk safely while picking up herbs , grass and fruits
why the hell is he picking grass??
i also have no idea
hopefully we did not encounter any threat like the 'dorbab' pig
and after a few hours of walk we safely reach a small town
~~~~~Town of Merauth~~~~~
as we enter the town
all i could see is broken houses
the street is made of dirt
houses are made of tree trunks, its walls are made of leaves and roofs are made from grass
all of the houses here are like a hut
its a poor town
no electricity
no marketplace
no tall buildings
no fast foods
obviously no wifi
the childrens are malnourish and thin
you can see some of the family
they are eating outside of their home
just sitting in a log
and eating fruits and vegetables
me and jess continue to walk
and go to a partially finished house
he lives here?
woah
half of the house is made of woods and grass and the other half only has roof made of leaves
but looking at the wall you can see some of the bones, claws and skulls of animals
i sit on a random log and jess talk to a lady
"mother, i'm back #%#÷€ miro &%÷^ friend, *ש^ found ₹√`¥ forest of umrot"
now im having trouble to understand them,
i knew some words but
man, this is hard
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
so they keep talking in words i could not understand
after they finished talking
jess gave the fruits and the grass to his mother and some dried meat
then he grab some wheat and vegetables
his mother starts to dry the drass under the sun as soon as we leave
"bye!"
we continue to walk in their town until we reach another small house
but this one has lots of chairs and tables made of wood
i belive it is a school for children
"maria!!"
jess starts to call someone as we enter the gate of the school
"maria!!!"
and who is maria? maybe someone he know?
"whos there?!?!"
and then a young lady appears
wearing a long dress that looks like a nun
combination of yellow, pink and white in color
long straight black hair
damn girl!
i wonder who is she?
...
...
...
...
...
...
and again another conversation that i can not understand
is there really no translation magic?
i feel like they are trying to sold me to a black market
or they are talking againts me?
after they talk
he told me that maria wants to be a teacher so she helps here to teach kids during her free time
they recently build this house for kids who wants to learn and play
other parents also leave their kids here while they go out of the town to earn money
"you.. live.. here... learn.. write.. read.. speak.."
"yes"
and why would i say no to that?
good thing jess teach me some basic word
hope i can learn more here
and so we go inside the house
theres a lot of rooms here
so i randomly select a room since they all look the same
theres nothing much to unpack, i only have a single bag in which jess lend to me
she gave me the door key
showed me where the kitchen, bathroom and comfort room
and lastly the well
thats nice
i never tried to use one before
and before the sun set we had a small dinner with some kids
a meal with bread, herbs and fruits
dont they have rice or meat?
after were done eating
maria gave me two books
maybe another childrens book?
"read.. study.. later.."
and then she smile
what a bright smile
"yes"
and here i am the only word i know is yes
after a small talk
jess and maria take their own way to their home
so i go to my room and look outside the window
this is a small town beside a mountain
and there is a river on the other side
though this town is not doing great
maybe they are suffering from famine?
but the people who lives here are very kind
give me food, clothes even a room to stay
tomorrow will be a new day where i can learn something new
and i am exited
but
it is already dark
lets go to sleep for now
