Somewhere in the Laboratory, there is a sound echoing inside one of the rooms.
*Swoosh*
Coming from the pooling room.
*Swoosh*
The sound of something sharp that been swinging down repeatedly.
*Swoosh*
By a white hair boy who is holding a sword with both hands.
*Swoosh*
And who is half na.. I mean Sweating.
*Swoosh*
With five elementals balls circling around him like planets. Fire, wind, water, earth, and lightning.
[ 127...128...129...]
I was counting after each swing.
[ AND 130. ]
*Swoosh*
After preforming the final swing, the 5 element that was around me disappeared.
*Thud*
*Cling*
I let my body fall down, landing on my butt with the sword hitting the ground.
[ Huff...huff...huff...]
I was panting heavily. My arms feels itchy, and my whole body is covered in sweats. I was only wearing pants, nothing else to cover my upper body.
*thud*
I lay down on my back.
[ Huff...practicing is Really exhausted. But still...]
I get to enjoy moving around again.
To be able to walk and move more freely again, and doing some exercises. Before, I wasn't able to do that when I was sick. I was only able to move my upper body like hands, arms, and head. The only thing that was hard for me to do was walking and exercising. The only exercise that I could do was stretching my arms.
[How far was that?]
< Ding! >
Eighteen percent. not bad. I think it will take me one week to reach 100%.
Right?
< Ding >
So it depends on my effort huh.
(A/N: when the skill "Ding" it means the information is short)
[ Okay then. That's good enough for me. ]
Last night when I was sleeping, I went to Senoki's Library to gather some information about this world.
The first thing I checked was the Races. There are 8 kinds. The Human, Elf, Dwarf, Kegem, Beastmen, Demi human, Demon, and Spirits. There are also the wild beasts and animals if you add it. So the total is 10 races, 8 intelligent races and 2 non intelligent races.
By the way, the dragon race goes to the wild beast category if you're wondering.
The differences between animals and wild beast are... well, animals are animals that can befriend with easily. like cats, dogs, horse, bird, fox and other.
And the wild beast, they are animals that's are wild and can't befriend with. And they are more stronger than the animals because of the amount of mana they have. An animal like the fox for example can be either a normal animal or a wild beast, depends on the amount of mana it has. Wild beast which are "wild" can also become non aggresive, if they evolve into magic beast. Magic beast are animals or beast that can use there mana, and some of them can use magic. They can be either wild and aggressive like Kurama, or harmless and gentle like Pikachu.
So it's like this basically. Animals are normal, like the one on Earth. They have mana but doesn't know how to use it.
Wild beast are animals that are wild, they are more stronger and faster than the animals because of the amount of mana.
And lastly is the magic beast, an evolution from the animal or wild beast. And they are able to use mana.
And there is the Kegem race. They are the race who has the same appearance as the human, but their height are the same as the dwarf. They are basically like the Hobbits. Their specialty is having flexible body and good reflexes. Those who are stronger among them are like Spiderman or Assassin creed. Unfortunately, the number of their populations are the lowest compared to the other races.
As for the other races... I don't think I need to explain. You guys can figure it out from their names.
Human are "Human" like I was before.
Elf are "Elf" Long Ears.
Dwarf are "Dwarf" Short.
Beastmen are "Beast" with a man body.
Demons are "Demon" Purple dark skin or Blue, like the Avatar.
Demi human are "Human with animals ears and tail".
And Spirits are like "Spirit".
Those are the 8 main race in this world.
What about my race?
Well, my race is Homunculus, and it's population number are less than 50. The 8 main races are a race that has a large number of population and able to create their own civilization.
As for my race, they are like sub race or something like that. There is also the Vampire, Dragonoid, Halfling, mermaid, and others who are sub race like me.
The next info was the location. My location is in the Black mountains which is next to the Great Mystic Forest. It's the most largest forest in this world with many mysterious, dangerous beasts, and unknown things. It's like the amazon forest, but about 6 times bigger. It located on the south side of the west continent. The west continent is divided into three part:
The upper part which is the northeast part. There are some small forests, villages, cities, hills, rivers, lakes, desert, etc.
The bottom part which called the southeast part, has the same things like in the upper part, except that it also has one large kingdom. But no empire, fortunately in this era.
And the dark west part which is on the west side of the continent. The lands are like the Dark Territory from SAO, because of the dark soil that's makes the plants unable to grow there, except the dark type ones. And the cloudy red sky caused by the mana in the air. I don't know the full details because I skipped that, the only thing I know it's a natural phenomena. And that is the place where most of the demon race lives.
So yeah, my location is on the southeast part, in the Black mountains next to the Great Mystery Forest, on the right side of it. The left side of the forest is faced toward the dark west part. The bottom side faces the greater Blue Sea, and the top side which is the north of the forest is facing the City border which separates the Dark west and the southeast, and there are some small villages and others that I am lazy to mention them all.
The last information I checked was about this world history. I'll give you the shortest version.
So basically it's like this:
Two beings of different gender form each races born or rather Descended in different places on this world. or Planet I should say. humans in a green lands, elf in the forest, dwarf in the mountains, demons in the dark west, and so on.
And like the old stories from Earth, the two different gender became 4 or 6 then multiple and so on, creating their own population and civilization each one of them. Then one of races met the other race and so on, some became friends with each other and some became enemies, creating wars between them. War between races, civil wars, friendship, allies, peace and whatever. Today, all the race are able to live together. Most of them, only 85%. No more war between races. Except one race that's still on war. The demon race. Because they are powerful and arrogant race they refuse to coexist with the other race, and because they're still following the wish of the first demon king.
So now is the year 1467 K of the Kelyer callender.
Also, if you are wondering about the date and the time of the history, you can see it down. The short version.
=======
Year 1 day 1: two from each races descend.
Year 284: first interaction between two different races.
Year 693: first civil war.
Year 1273: first world war between races.
Year 1246: end of first world war and first peace.
Year 1833: second world war.
Year 2623: third world war.
Year 2745: new race born.
Year 2880: fourth world war.
Year 2909: year of Kelyer.
Year 2910/1K: end of the 4th war and First calendar of Kelyer.
Year 2947/37K: first demon race war.
Year 2973/63K: first hero born.
Year 4358/1448K: end of 12th demon race war and the death of Professor's son.
Year 4359/1449K: Lesten birthday
Year 4364/1454K: Lesten's death.
Year 4371/1461K: Professor's death
Year 4377/1467K: my reincarnation to this world.
=======
So the year is 1467 in Kelyer callender, and 4377 years after the people born in this planet.
Oh right! and also, 1 year = 18 months. 1 month = 49-50 days. 1 day = 28 hours. And 1 week = 10 days.
So yeah, I have 10 days left before I leave this place.
My goal now is to finish my training before going to the city border in one week. I already made plans on what I want to do when I get there.
I won't spoil to you guys what I'll do there, sorry.
[ Okay, back to training. ]
I picked up the sword and took a standing position. Then I started swinging again.
*Swoosh*
[ One. ]
*Swoosh*
[ Two. ]
*Swoosh*
Why I'm swinging a sword? Dah, because I'm training.
What? You expected I was going to do some pushup training or something like that?
Pfft, why?
I don't to need to do 100 ups exercise like Saitama or JinWoo to train. There are many ways to train your body. exercising, pushups, working, swinging sword and others.
Right now I'm not only just swinging a sword for practice, but also concentrating.
While swinging I began casting multiple spells around me. Magic manipulation, Magic control, fire magic, water magic, earth magic, wind magic, lightning magic.
By using magic control and magic manipulation, I'm able to perfectly manipulate the five magic elements, make them grow slowly in size and circling them around me like planets or atoms.
That's is what I'm truly doing right now. Practicing my swordsmanship from the basics by swinging it down perfectly, with the help of Senoki's info that is. While concentrating my mind on using magic manipulation and magic control to increase my mana pool's capacity. And also I am using Magic enchantment and Magic connection in my body, to boost it a little, so that all my muscles inside my body works with the arms when swinging the sword. So yeah, I am doing three different types of training in the same time. Swordsmanship training, magic training, and body training.
After learning a lot of things about this world last night I decided that I need to get stronger, if I want to go out there and survive. And to do that I need to know how to fight first before getting some experience in battle. Fortunately, I have Senoki sensei to help me. The best teacher in the whole world. She knows alot about martial art, swordsmanship, archery, styles, techniques, weapons, magic, and even more.
With her help, I was able to find what I need to do. I need to train my magic control and increase my MP. Because this is a world of magic, so the fights and battles will be all about using magic. Next is weapon training, if there is a battle where you can't use magic for example, then use weapons. swordsmanship is the first one I will be training. then the spear, archer, knife or dagger, great sword or a claymore whatever they call it in this world, and shield.
Lastly is training my body, for hand to hand combat. if you can't use your magic and don't have a weapon then use your body. Hehe, now with the help of Senoki sensei, I'm able to learn any type of martial art that I longed have been dreamed to do. like Kung Fu or Taijutsiu.
*sniff*
It's really feels good to be able to move again.
Really.
*Swoosh*
This is my plan. Training for preparation for any battle that may happen in the future. And learn more new knowledge about this world in the Library. There still many things I need to add on my week schedule. I need to learn this world language, although with the help of Senoki it will be very easy. And I need to make some new clothes and items. the clothes in here are all lab clothes, but I can change it using Magic Fabricating and Magic Materialize. The people of this world still doesn't know that they can actually create any kind of material by magic, only me knows that now.
And I think I need to make some weapons for training, like bow and arrows. I found the sword in the storage rooms where the professor keeps all his stuffs, like magic tools, books, devices, and others. There were only five swords. the professor used them to cut down the beasts when he goes hunting in the forest. His fighting style was a long range magic attack. sniping using powerful spells and casting magic traps, then finishing the beast by slicing it's head of.
*Ugh*
Man, I start remembering the scene I watched in the Library. The scene when he slice the heads and blood comes out all over the place.
Gross.
I think it's better to read how the event played happened instead of watching it.
