"It's a little unusual but you got awakened. And it's a good thing." Amil's father said proudly.
"So, the leader told you to come practice tomorrow morning?" His mother asked.
"Yeah, and I am very excited for the sword classes." Amil said with excitement. He liked all these things but couldn't do it in his own world. All three of them looked at Amil in confusion.
"Hm…that's weird. You never liked it before." His father said with furrowed brows.
"Yeah…I thought that as I have awakened early, might as well use it in my favour."
They all nodded in understanding and talked about more things until night fall. Amil slept like a log due to the mental exhaustion.
In the morning….
"YAWN~" Amil woke up early as usual, he always woke up at 7 when he was a human, and the habit didn't change much.
He walked to the lobby and to his family's surprised eyes ate and went for the training. They looked at each other in confusion.
The training area of the tribe was near the leader's hut. When Amil reached there, he saw 3-4 Kobolds the same size as him just 8 days older.
He went there and saw many dummies looking like human for practice and did not know whether to laugh or cry. None of the Kobold interacted with him or each other. The Kobold were very lovey-dovey in their family but when it came to outsiders, they were very cold.
After waiting a few minutes, he heard a familiar voice.
"So bastard, you're here huh?" He saw the same person that brought him back to the tribe.
Amil just nodded at him and stood still waiting for the training.
"You all know why you have come here but I am goanna tell you anyway." He said with a serious voice and continued "You all know that there are different types of races and beasts in the world. We Kobolds are allies of no other species, hell we are even at war with each other. So, you young fledgelings have been brought here to learn fighting for the tribe's future." He looked at everyone one by one and continued further.
"My name is Ekrem Grmek, I am assigned in training the new borne of the tribe by the leader. So go ahead and choose the weapon of your liking. "He said and then closed his eyes.
Amir went towards the weaponry area and saw different types of weapons, there were swords, spears, bow-arrow and even maces and Hand combat gloves.
Amir directly went for the wooden sword, when he took it in hand, it felt very natural and cool to him. He even swinged it to take the feel but was very clumsy.
"Alright now go to the wooden dummies and start beating them with the weapon whichever way you want" Ekrem said still eyes closed.
Amil went towards a dummy and started hitting it on the neck, and other vitals for training. He didn't know if Ekrem will teach them anything or not.
After 30 minutes of just hitting the dummy rigorously, Amil felt like he had become a little better with the sword. He didn't stop even after being exhausted, the fun he was having was unspeakable.
[ Swordsmanship beginner (level1) Skill Acquired]
Amil looked at the notification dumb founded, he looked at the other trainees who were still training with their weapons. Then looked at Ekrem who was grinning towards him. He called him by waving his hand.
Amil went their and without any stop Ekrem told him about the swordman skill.
"You are fast bastard; it just concludes that you were training diligently even when it was your first day." Amil got the first patting of shoulder which made him oddly proud of himself.
"You see, what you have got is the beginning level of swordsmanship, you will need to level it up to 5 for it to be useful in fights. For it to reach the 5th level, you will just have to keep hitting the dummy, now go back." Ekrem told him how the skills level up which made Amil more excited to train. He started hitting the dummy again but this time he was not so clumsy.
2 days passed just like that, Amil trained for nearly 10 hours leveling his skill to 3, he was able to see the difference from the first time, his hits becoming more agile and strong with the not so much use of stamina. He was told that after level 5, he will be sent to the level 1 training ground for kids.
He also sparred with her sister who was at the intermediate level of swordsmanship. It was very painful for Amil to get beat up again and again but was worth it. From actual fighting experience, he was getting levels in much less time.
Just like those 5 more days passed and he was in level 5 of the skill. The satisfaction from the training and achievement was on next level.
Ekrem didn't say much to him but gave him the permission to leave for the level 1 training area.
Outside the tribe in the outer forest were weak beasts of level 1. Amil was told to have battle experience and EXP to get stronger.
The forest was the same as the one where he woke up, luckily the area he was in was famous for having no beasts or he would have died just like that.
After walking in the forest, he didn't find anything but flying birds hovering over him. But later in the deeper forest, he saw his first prey.
A boar about 4 feet tall, its long fangs coming out of the mouth vertically, it didn't look much intimidating.
Amil sneakily went near it, but alas he stepped on a twig making a breaking sound. The boar looked behind and looked at Amil with bloodshot eyes. It gave a war cry and just went speedily sprinting towards him.
"SQUEEK!"
Amil waited for it to come close and at the nook of time, he stepped out of its trajectory. Only a dumb person wouldn't know how to deal with the situation. The boar was fast but couldn't change his direction very well.
Amil took the opportunity and swung the sword vertically towards the boar's neck with all his strength, the poor boar couldn't even react when he got hit by the sword right on the neck. With a crack sound, its body fell on the ground with a thud.
THUD!
[ EXP +28, +1 strength]
[ Tackle skill found, Acquire it or not.]
Amil looked at the skill in front of him up for grab. He heard that after killing something, it was rare to get a random skill from it. He quickly selected it. Looking towards a tree, his eyes shone a little.
"Tackle"
He went running to the tree and clashed with it making a loud sound.
BAM!
The tree shook a lot after the contact with Amil's shoulder and there was no pain after hitting the tree too.
"it's not that useful right now but after some leveling, maybe I will be tackling a beast to death."
He sighed in relief and started dragging the boar to the tribe. Everybody saw him moving with the boar in the pathway with surprise. Amil went directly to his home while dragging the boar. He entered and saw the house empty, He put the boar in there and went for the EXP again.
After wandering for a while, he found a snake, the snake was just coiling a big deer in it's grip. Amil grinned crazily at the site.
'Now's the best time, how lucky can I be'
He ran for the kill, the snake later realized that he was in a lot of danger. He tried to uncoil the deer but was too late as Amil just thrusted the sword inside the snake and started piercing it horizontally. The snake couldn't do anything as Amil stepped back and watched it slowly dying.

The small amount of dragon blood in your veins will help you become a higher kobold; you have a chance to bring back the forgotten dragons in the world back.
"DRAGON...!!" Amil shouted.
He couldn't believe what he saw, he could become a dragon one day? Evolution skill? Where did it come from?
He put all the thoughts in the back of his head and started moving with the snake and the deer's corpse.
Soon he reached the village again gaining everyone's attention but this time there was no surprise as if he was doing something normal.
He went inside the form gaining the attention of everyone inside. His father was looking at the boar on the ground with complex emotions.
"Amil, who bought the wild boar corpse here?" His mother asked in a concerned voice.
"I was given permission to go to the forest outskirts, I killed him there." Amil said with a serious voice, he didn't know
