It took them five days of travel on the carriage to reach the town of GreyForest. This is a safe town as long as one does not live near the forest area. The town was surrounded by walls made of stones and wood, the guards were keeping watch diligently for any kind of beast attacks.
Rex was wearing a hood to cover his face, a white shirt and black pants. The guards stopped him and Lucia to check their identities, they were a little disgusted with Rex because of his burnt face. When they gave the pass both of them entered the town, Lucia walked in front of Rex. She looked like a working woman from back on earth, he admired her for being so strong. This was the feeling that both Alvis and Rex shared.
They lived in the centre of the town, the bakery was famous for its bread. Lucia had developed a great business, he could see some girls working inside. All of the neighbours were looking at Rex when he got out of the carriage, Rex was taller than most and had a good build, except for his burnt body everything was fine about him.
GreyForest is also known as the home of adventurers and mercenaries. He got inside the house to avoid further gazes, he didn't like it. Lucia told the girls to keep working as she also got inside after paying the carriage driver.
The House was big enough for more than five people to live in. It wasn't made of wood as he had seen in the outer district. Rex had never seen the mirror but he found a big one inside the house.
" There are still some days before the healing reward, I guess I will have to live like this for a while."
Lucia entered the house and also rested on the couch. He could see that she was tired because of the long trip so he let her sleep. Lucia had told him that his room is on the first floor.
He went to his room and inspected it, the room was similar to what he remembered. Alvis started to unpack his things, there were several things such as a sword and a military uniform. There were also his medals and certificates, Rex does not want to live a life where he would have to fight with other humans. He was happy to have left the military even if it had more benefits to stay in the military now.
He unpacked his thing and again got to the ground floor, he was looking for some water and was trying to find the kitchen. The kitchen was moved near the bakery room, he went to the kitchen and found some water.
Suddenly a girl walked inside,
" Miss Lucent, I need more flour." It was one of the workers. As soon as she saw Rex she screamed. " Kyaaa!" It made Lucia awake and she went to the kitchen to check.
" What Happened?" Lucia asked, Rex was just standing holding a glass of water in his hand and the girl had fallen to the floor.
" Miss Lucent, who is he?" The girl was scared of Rex's face.
" Mia, he is my son." She said, Rex, didn't see this girl come to greet his mother when he came. Three girls were working in the bakery.
" I am sorry, sir." She apologised as she remembered why Lucia was gone for a few days.
" It's alright, I will just go back to my room. Mother, you should rest."
" I will, If you need something, you can call me next time." She said to her son.
This event left him thinking that he needs to get healed soon, he had taken the healing pill and it was useful in easing his pain. He had to train himself to become stronger because the voice said that he was planning to become an adventurer in GreyForest. With his military certificates, he could easily get a C rank.
He would wake up before most people in the village to train in front of his house because Lucia ran a bakery she would also wake up early and see her son train. She was quite impressed that her son was not feeling down because of what happened to him. Just like this 15 days passed, he would help his mother with cleaning the house and other things to make things easy for her.
Unconsciously he was feeling a lot closer to her, like a real mother. She was very caring especially when it came to food, always cooking what she knew her son liked. However, Rex told him that he would eat only healthy things. He didn't go out much for fifteen days. He had already told Lucia that he would not be going outside for a month, and Lucia agreed.
On the last day of the fifth month, the voice finally spoke.
[ Go to an isolated place.] He went to his room.
[ I will begin healing or in other words rebuilt this body as I like.]
Rex didn't know what the voice meant by this, but suddenly a pain just like he felt before came all over his body. It felt like his body was tearing apart, blood flowed faster and his heart rate increased. His breathing was also heavy and it felt like he was under a huge weight.
Some white light started to radiate from his body, his insides were burning and outside it felt too cold. The organs felt like they were moving, body fluids came out of his mouth and other places. He puked a lot of blood and weird green and black liquid.
Rex didn't expect the healing to be this painful, he was thankful that he somehow made this body strong enough to resist this pain. The process lasted for ten minutes which felt like hours.
Rex could feel many differences in his body, his insides were fine once again. His skin was completely healed the burnt skin had fallen to the ground and his left eye is also restored completely.
ever there was too much mess.
[ Don't worry about it.] The voice said as all the mess started to disappear even from Rex's body. But he still smelled bad stench
