Chereads / Reform: Slow Life / Chapter 3 - The Edge

Chapter 3 - The Edge

The skies resemble movies with many moons but this unfamiliar place has 5, the red one as its biggest. I walk over to a small puddle beside a tree and stare into it. My face is how I looked in my younger years, this... what unfamiliar clothing. I observed my surroundings a little more and found a sword right where I woke up, looking around more near the withered tree with a pond are two gravestones with the name Rika Takuro and Ranma Takuro. Looking at the sky and its luminescent moons.

'I need to find out more about this world, haa, my kids and grandkids... I wonder how they are doing ' I thought to myself, I seem to be high up a mountain, and at the highest. but from up here, I can see a well-lit house and just a couple miles a town maybe?

The sound of tall grass ruffles, and a fast dark figure leaps to the tree just above Laik, a beast in a black coat, and fangs that resemble a Saber Tooth, but this beast was far bigger than a Tiger, Laik has dealt with during his training camping days in the wild. Laik lifts the sword he found and took his signature stance.

"This... really is another world" he lets out a shallow breath and bares his sword waiting for the beast to attack, standing off, the beast leaps toward Laik and like plunges his sword towards the beast's chest, but to no avail, his sword has broke, the beast then again rushes toward him, on top of Laik the beast tries to take a bite of his neck, in that instance Laik had no chance he pressed his hand at the beast chest grab his shoulder and a huge amount of energy accumulated, as Laik twisted his fist and turn it into a palm all that energy released. The beast fell sideways and gave way to Laik to breathe.

"Aahhmufftp" Laik vomited blood, and his arm was incapacitated and all his bones and are broken into shards, Laik knew this income but had no choice. This technique was never meant to be used in such an untrained body especially taking a huge toll on an untrained body the result would be total function loss of the arm. This attack has a name and was known as the Rupture shot, It has the ability to destroy an internal organ that is nearest to the body part pressed. In his world many Martial Arts techniques were derived from the east, especially during the war, many easterners were taken and forced to teach these strange techniques.

If my arm is damaged I will have a harder time trying to manage around. After that fight I noticed a strange box with text, these are quite similar to my grandson's games, that I have played with him.

Name - Laik Takuro

Level - Undefined(Locked)

"Why do I have the same surname as them, are they this body's parent? I can only assume" He noticed something else strange and that was his level it was weird he remember when he was playing with his grandson he was taught that your level should have numbers to indicate your experience. There seems to be a reason it is undefined, it seems locked.

Without any more care, he looks for a way down the cliff for a way down after what happened he feels that he isn't safe at night and should visit the nearby house.

Making my way down I found the house to be a bit bigger than I thought, I brainstorming whether or not to know, who knows what might be beyond that door. I'm not sure they are willing to provide information on this world. But I have to take a chance.. here I go.

KNOCK KNOCK

I knocked and waited I notice movements in the window, it was a quick look. I got nervous because after I notice a person have a look through the window now I hear running footsteps. Is this person an enemy? Was it a bad idea to stop here?

The door fling open, a beautiful young lady with silver hair who looked like she was in her early 20s, wearing a sort of similar clothing to mine but her outfit was more proper and had various layers.

"Takuro-kun!" The woman let out, tear started to form.

"Huh? Kun, the name Takuro belo..." before he could finish his sentence the woman hugged him and started to cry.

"Takuro-kun, where did you good, sob, I looked everywhere even gramps is in the forest searching" she weeped, this woman seems to know the previous owner of this body, still why was I addressed in a weird way.

After a while the girl stopped crying and we went inside turns out I live here, what even more interesting is that I'm in the care of a friend of this bodys father. But this world confuse me, to seem less conspicuous I decided to tell her that I lost my memory and only remember some stuff. She decided to fill me in on a couple of things and answer some of my questions.
