After I sat down at the table, my mother chatted with me about how difficult it was to deal with both young children in the evening, as they would not stop crying.
At that time I found out that my new mother's name is Martha Devon and my siblings are Eleonor and Mike.
-And how were you last night, did you sleep well? - she said.
-W-well, everything was normal," I said nervously.
-That's good, because in 1 week you will enter the alliance academy, so make the most of your time here, because you won't see us for another 6 months.... -he exclaimed sadly.
The moment he said those words, I choked on the water I was drinking and coughed violently.
WHAT!!!?!?
How am I supposed to go there if I don't know anything about magic, I don't even know what they teach in the schools here.
-Are you all right? -exclaimed my mother.
- Coff-coff -Yes, I'm fine...
Of course not, this is worse than I thought!
-Don't worry, I just choked on some water.
-That's good son, I was already worried.
Wait a second...
-Mom, I'm going to go to my room for a while, thanks for breakfast.
As soon as I got far enough away from the table, I ran to my room.
I took it as a possibility and it wasn't clear to me, but now it makes sense.
-I'm in some cliché-loving moron's novel!
But if this is how it works...
I can use it to my advantage, I know quite a bit about reincarnation novels, since they were my favorite genre.
And there are always certain patterns that repeat themselves, aren't there?
After thinking things over I managed to come up with a plan, in the time I had left I would go on a trip to look for objects that would help me improve my rank and limiter in the typical places of the novels, that is, in mountains and forests with ancient ruins.
So after deciding, I set to work and looked for a map of the nearby area and when I found it, I was stunned with the news that the only nearby mountain was more than 30 km away, the name was Fuhja mountain and it housed ruins of the ancient civilization that the monsters of the dungeons destroyed in the past.
-Ugh, that's going to be a problem, maybe I should pack.
Something I forgot to mention is that conveniently in the status window there is an inventory section, with a total space of 20 m².
There are consumable artifacts that can increase the space, but they were expensive enough that I didn't have time to look for a cost-effective one.
So I went shopping at a nearby store I saw on the map and acquired a camping tent, energy bars, lots of water bottles, a heat source and climbing gear.
I was all set.
I headed home to say goodbye to my family and rushed to the train station to grab a ticket to Fuhja Mountain and see if I could find anything useful there.
I hurriedly boarded the train and set off for the mountain.
...
The trip was quiet and quite pleasant as far as I was concerned, something important to mention was the appearance of the train, as it looked like in futuristic movies, it was white, with light blue lines on the sides and moved at an impressive speed, nothing compared to those of my previous world.
In the seats close to mine there were people except for a demon, it was very strange that they were close to humans, as they don't get along very well. The main reason was that according to some, they were very loyal to their ambitions, even so all the races that made up the alliance would have to compulsorily attend an academy, separated by species, territory, with different customs and in each one you entered at 16 and would be 4 years there, to learn the basics of fighting and magic.
It caught my attention to see that demon just for that reason, she looked like a young girl, she had two horns on her head, jet black hair, red eyes and a body that seemed carved with a chisel, if I were to describe her I would only say, beautiful.
I only saw her for a moment, but I blushed a little so I turned around and when my head was cool, I turned around, but she had disappeared.
I felt a little disappointed, but I know that it's normal in novels, that is people who disappear out of nowhere.... well that's a cliché in general and most likely it's someone important in this world. I must stay away from that kind of people. When I turned my eyes back to the window I began to sleep peacefully.
Finally the train stopped at the station.
-Aahh! How I needed to sleep.
-Well, let's look at the map.
I took the map out of my inventory and started to inspect it.
It indicated that 1 km away there was a village and on the north side of it was the mountain, so I started my journey.
...
I walked hurriedly through the village until I found the entrance to the possible solution to my problem.
Once I arrived, I walked into what looked like a small forest and could visualize further into the place some oddly shaped trees that had a brown fruit on the tip of a spiral-shaped branch.
I took the fruit and continued on my way repeating the same pattern.
"These fruits look edible, but I won't know unless I try, I'm not that far from town anyway." "Bon appetit."
I took a bite of one and the minute I did I knew it was a bad idea.
"Aaah, my stomach!
I felt like I had ingested a fireball and the pain was so excruciating that by the time it was over I was exhausted, I was sweating all over and I felt my stomach acid burning my throat, fighting to escape from inside me.
"Bad idea, VERY BAD IDEA."
"I was stupid, if fruits raised the stats everyone would eat them."
After resting and recovering from that bad experience I continued on my way.
"Trap objects, trap objects, where are they?
"Maybe I should go up the mountain or search more in the forest, in my opinion, I prefer to stay in the forest".
I was walking for quite a while, only to realize 2 hours later that I just went around in circles. Before I knew it, it started to get dark and I decided that I would camp here tonight.
Setting up the tent was very complicated for me, so much so that I got stuck with the poles on the first try, but then after a bit of effort I was ready.
"Well, let's have a bite to eat," I said, tucking myself into the tent.
...
Plam Plam Plam Plam
I woke up with a start.
"Ah, shit, I was fucking sleeping."
I jumped up with a rush of adrenaline and anger at whatever had woken me up.
"Come here you fucker."
I stormed out angrily and with a kitchen knife in hand, I'm not stupid, I set out to defend my resting place.
"Aaaaaaaaah!"
As soon as I stepped out, my heart almost stopped.
A monster almost 2 meters tall with sharp claws, black fur and a maw with teeth that could cut a person in half.
"Nope, I'm outta here."
I ran with all my might to lose the monster and seemed to have succeeded, but soon my hopes became null and void as I saw it approaching in a hurry and seemingly without tiring.
Finally after running like a deranged man trying to escape from the werewolf-like beast, I stood in front of it and decided to face it with every ounce of will I had. It attacked me with its claws as soon as it saw me.
Shuan!
But I narrowly dodged it.
"A second later and I'd be sushi."
With no time to recover, it attacked again and this time it wounded me in the shoulder, rendering my left arm completely useless.
"AAAHHGGG!" -I screamed from the pain.
With no time to lose I lunged towards him and with my knife I aimed for his right eye, missing miserably, being hit in the stomach and sent away. Crashing backwards into a tree. I felt a pain as if millions of needles were penetrating my abdomen and getting on my knees I vomited blood.
"Puack!"
"This beast is too strong for me."
"But..."
"I will not give up in this life!".
"AAAAHHHHHH!". I said as I lashed out at the beast, who was now running towards me.
As we were about to collide our attacks, I swung my arm at the last moment.
"Take this motherfucker!"
Right after I said these words, my attack hit his eye, but I wasn't the only one who managed to hit, as he slashed downward, making a big gash in my chest.
"ROAAAAR!" shouted the monster as he attacked me.
"Now that you lost part of your field of vision maybe you can win."
I said those words, but I was also badly wounded and had lost a lot of blood during the fight, so it was hard to even walk, and more so with the recent cut I received.
My legs gave way and I fell on one leg as I grabbed my knee.
The beast noticed this and seeing it as an opportunity to attack lunged at me.
"Big mistake asshole!"
The moment it jumped on me I got up with all the strength I had left and stabbed it right in the chest.
"ARGUUUUUU!" the monster screamed before falling to the ground dead.
"Ah...Ah...Ah...I, I, I, I did it."
I stood up slowly and heavily, letting out a puff of murky air.
"I need to...go back.... to the village." I said weakly.
Clutching the wound on my chest I walked a couple of steps before falling back down.
I couldn't walk, I was weak and battered, all I could do was crawl to safety.
"Where... is the... camp?"
In pursuit of the beast I wandered away from the camp and paid no attention to the road.
"...Now what do I do...?"
I thought. all my hopes were lost and I would die here, but suddenly a light came into view in the middle of the forest.
