As Alex was returning home, Alexander and Anna meanwhile were preparing to activate the portal that connects to the core area of the barbarian realm which is the barbarian kingdom.
Any portal requires energy to function, however the type of energy required depends on the materials and foundation the portal is made of.
"How about we check on our son first honey?" Anna suggested as she misses her son after a day of not seeing him.
Hearing Anna's suggestion, Alexander agreed as he too misses Alex.
After waiting for Alex to come home at the living room.
"Hmmm? Mother and father? I thought you all had important matters to attend to?" Alex asked confused as they told him they would be leaving for a few days because of important matters.
Without saying anything, Anna hugged her son tightly and lovingly just like how a mother would hug her son.
Alex too hugged his mother feeling good because he has never experienced this kind of motherly love from his previous life.
Alexander meanwhile just patted Alex in the back and said some motivating words.
"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself for a few days?" Anna asked worriedly.
"Hmmm don't worry mother Kevin(the old butler) is here anyway.
"Make sure to eat plenty okay?" Anna said.
And after more nagging, Anna and Alexander finally activated the portal and left for the barbarian kingdom to report the demon portal.
"Now that they're gone, it's time to hoard weapons and train." Alex said as he calls Kevin in and asks where the blacksmiths are located.
"The blacksmiths are located at the iron mountain young master, i will get the portal ready for you young master." Kevin bowed and got to work activating the portal.
After putting the energy stones which is the current currency of Infinitaria, the portal shaped like a door glowed blue indicating that it is activated.
"Feel free to walk in young master." Kevin bowed.
Nodding at Kevin, Alex then stepped into the portal as he dissappears.
After a flash of blue light, Alex looked around to see that he is in a city that is built around the top of a mountain.
"Wow!" Alex exclaimed in admiration not because of the beauty of the city but the atmosphere.
"Greetings young master!" Two muscular guards bowed and greeted Alex to which he nodded.
After asking the two guard where the best smiths are though the guards offered to escort him Alex refused, he then just walked in the direction pointed by the guards and admired the bustling atmosphere.
Alex who was enjoying his walk was rudely interrupted by a muscular man who bumped into him.
"Watch where you're going little guy." The muscular man said.
Hearing what the man said, Alex just put his hand on his forehead feeling a headache as to why did he have to bump into a man child.
Not wanting to waste his time arguing, Alex just decided to walk away when suddenly,"Hehe coward." The man snickered mocking Alex.
And that was the last straw as before the muscular man can react, Alex jumped, spin and kicked the man's throat with all his strength causing the man to fall and clutch his throat.
"GAHKK- GAKKKK!" The man who is now lying on the floor gasped for air red faced as his windpipe was crushed by Alex's kick.
"Tsk! That's all you amount to and you had the balls to bully a child?" Alex said in disdain as he raises his legs and stomps the man's balls causing the man to scream and cry.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" The man screamed as he flails and cries after getting his balls crushed.
Hearing the noise, a couple of guards immediately got to where the noise came from and was greeted by a man flailing and crying on the floor while a child looks at him laughing. Recognising Alex's face, the guards immediately bowed to him and took the man to a nearby hospital, the remaining guards then shooed away the audience that was starting to form in hopes of seeing a fight. However it all happened so quickly that all they could see was the man lying on the ground screaming in pain.
With all that taken care off, Alex continued to go in the direction pointed by the guards with a smile on his face.

Arriving in front of a stone building with a sign that says "Silver", Alex knocked on the wooden door three times.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Who is it?" A hoarse voice answered to which Alex replied, "I'm here to buy a bunch of weapons."
"Hmmm you sound like a child but i don't care who buys as long as i make a profit." The door then opened as a short old muscular man with a braided beard welcome Alex.
"So you're a dwarf mister?" Alex said in surprise as this is his first time meeting another humanoid race.
"A banished dwarf to be precise." The old man said in hoarse voice as he introduces himself as Tughat.
Alex too introduce himself and got to business.
"I want to by every single type of weapon you have here." Alex said which caused Tughat to be slightly surprised but he agreed nonetheless.
After waiting for Tughat to come out of his storage room, Tughat then presented different types of weapons ranging from silver swords, silver spear, silver axe, silver war hammer, silver dagger, silver bow, silver scythe, silver staff, and silver whip.
"I'll buy them all and only the highest quality." Alex said feeling a connection with every weapon he sees on the table.
"Alright the total is 10,000 low energy stones of any kind." Tutghat wrote every weapon's price and showed them to Alex who nodded and took out a pouch which magically appeared within his hands.
"Oho! A spatial belt huh? Not everyday do you get to see it." Tutghat said in surprise as space storage is quite pricey.
"There's 10 high quality qi energy stones there which is equal to 10,000 low qi energy stones." Alex said as he bids farewell to Tutghat and returns to his home.
"I'll be back after training for a few weeks Kevin." Alex then bid farewell to the butler and set out to the forest again but full of all types of weapons this time.
