Chapter 2 - Harry

Chapter 2 - Clan Wars on the Kvikálkov Forest 16 April 1988: The School Week ran very quickly for Hadrian. Not only did he buy a smaller amount of food on Monday afternoon, he also bought two notebooks as part of the discount event. One of them immediately used to write down various ideas, the other intended to use to record his experiments. However, it was not the only thing he had gained in the last five days. During the gym lessons and normal hours he received some other points to his attributes, but even after a few days he encountered a certain barrier. Whatever he tried or trained, his strength refused to jump over ten points, the same was true of intelligence. He guessed that once he reached ten points with the remaining attributes, it would not be possible for him to earn more points as easily as ever. But he had not yet had enough evidence for his assumption, so he was going to wait a few weeks to gather enough information. For the time being, he also refused to use the free attribute of the points he wanted to save. In addition to all this, he also did one and the same daily task every morning, and after completing it was able to wash the dishes quickly, increasing the level for this seemingly irrelevant skill. After preparing breakfast for his family and secretly using several ingredients to prepare and his food, he waited for his aunt Petunia to give him another to-do list. He didn't have to wait too long, and without a word, she thrust a paper with a few points that he had to make in that day. Task notice! (New Task) Title: Housework (2)! Type: Optional submitter: Petunie Dursley (Evans) Description: - Aunt Petunia wants you to clean up in a garden house where many unnecessary things have accumulated since last spring. Once you have finished this cleaning, you will still be mowing the lawn. Main objectives: 1. Delivery and sort everything from the garden house! 2. Take things to throw to the collection container at the end of the street! 3. Put the usable things back in your place! 4. Cut the lawn before dinner! Side objectives: 1. Someone's garbage is someone's treasure! Discovery five useful things! (0/5) Reward for task: 1. 650 EXP 2.? 3.? Penalty for failing to complete the task: 1. As if you didn't know it. Spanking and house arrest without food! Do you wish to accept this task? YES / NO While his relatives set out for the breakfast he had prepared for them, he went to the garden house. It took him a while to unlock the padlock, he was very rusty and thought he could look for a new one. Uncle Vernon used to buy or bring more pieces of the same thing from the company despite the fact that he didn't need them. Inside the garden house was full of unnecessary things and everything was thrown in one pile. Hadrian knew that it would take him a lot of time. Therefore, he did not wait for anything and grabbed the first thing that came under his hand. When he had already carried out a few bigger things, he encountered an older sail, which was hard at times, and he thought he could unfold it and put things on it to come to the ejection. The ejection was mainly cans with expired colors, broken or otherwise destroyed tools and much more. "What are you doing there, boy?!" Uncle Vernon rode at him as he noticed a lot of junk. "Aunt Petunia gave me the task of clearing the garden house and sorting out the throw-out things and things of Uncle Vernone," Hadrian said quickly, showing him the to-do list. "Hmm, you're finally doing something useful. Hard work will only benefit you, little bastard, "Vernon said, daring to put his hand on it, at least not in public, when anyone could look out the window. "As you wish, Uncle Vernon," he replied automatically, and under his strict supervision moved everything that Uncle Vernon pointed to. Hadrian finally spent two hours under his supervision, and Vernon told him what to throw away and what to keep. Hadrian thought that using the brain to think was really hard for his uncle and even harder for his cousin, but he would never dare say it out loud, at least not now. Among the usable things, there was one wheel and he went to the collection point where he went to the collection point. There were waste containers this weekend. Every spring, these containers were found to get rid of more waste from the surrounding streets and not fill up unnecessarily ordinary garbage bins. He took advantage of the fact that no one saw it and put some useful things in the inventory. Immediately he got a box of usable nails that were only lightly covered with rust. Even the hammer and the wood saw that his uncle ordered him to throw was still in good condition, a little effort was enough, and both instruments were almost new. He also saved an older Motyčka from the pile, which had a broken handle, but he didn't mind, because he removed the handle and replaced it with a short piece of another broken handle from the broom. As a result, he gained a fully usable hoeing hoe. On the last trip to the containers, he also kept the sail. She was leaky only by the edges and believed that if she somehow skilfully covered these parts, she would still have a large enough sail to use in the future. It was half past eleven when he was finally done with the final cleaning of the garden house and he could start applying usable things back inside. Before he was finished, Aunt Petunia came to check him with a bowl of soup into which she had broken dry bread. Vernon did not want her to give him any food, but she warned him that if she collapsed from lack of food, anyone could start asking unpleasant questions. "Hmm," he received only one comment on his work before pulling the empty bowl out of his hands and returning to the house. Her behavior was not surprising, and so he returned to work. Fortunately, it didn't take him too long and after the padlock was replaced, he quickly pulled the lawn mower with the gasoline can. He checked the oil. He got a kick from his uncle in the autumn when he said he wasn't watching the oil level. Uncle also warned him that the oil wasn't black and because he was black, he had to drain it and pour it into the mower. It took more time to think it and secretly poured a little new into the oil tank. He had finished this part of the maintenance, he could finally pour the gasoline into the tank. He still checked if the candle was clean, if it was rust, he wouldn't have to start the mower successfully. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about the candle and prepared the wheels for the mowing he had to collect. Uncle Vernon hated it when there were pieces of cut grass on his lawn, so he had to be careful not to collect everything and leave nothing behind. "I'm done, Auntie Petunia," Hadrian said after he cleaned the mower and put it back in the garage. She gave him one of her penetrating gaze, and Hadrian nodded that she understood her. Task notice! (Complete the task) Title: Housework (2)! Type: Optional submitter: Petunie Dursley (Evans) Description: - Despite the expectation that you fail, you have fulfilled everything your aunt Petunia wanted from you. In addition, she added a slice of bread and butter and a glass of milk as a reward. Not much, but that is also progress. Main objectives: 1. Delivery and sort everything from the garden house! 2. Take things to throw to the collection container at the end of the street! 3. Put the usable things back in your place! 4. Cut the lawn before dinner! Side objectives: 1. Someone's garbage is someone's treasure! Discovery five useful things! (5/5) Reward for task completion: 1. 650 EXP + 25% = 812 exp. 2. A slice of bread with butter and a glass of milk. 3. Box of nails - 60mm (100pcs), hammer, saw for wood, hoe, sheet (3x3m). Adjusting and caring for garden utensils is part of what the gardener must know. You get +1 level to profession: Gardener! You get +1 K VIT for a job well done! Your body is now strong enough and your diet has improved. Status undernourished has been updated! Malnourished: Due to lack of food, your body is weak and you wouldn't survive long without magic. - Penalty: -90% MP! - Duration: Temporary - Warning: If you do not do anything about this, the duration of this status will change from temporary to permanent! Hmm, although my status has changed and only ninety percent of my magic is sanctioned, I still don't see a change. It seems that I have to reduce this penalty to some acceptable level before I get available to use magic. Hadrian thought, and despite the fact that almost a day's work had exhausted him, he was glad for all the expos he had gained. If it goes on, he could reach the next level next weekend. That is, assuming that Uncle Vernon did not make a Sunday work, in which case he could see the next level much earlier. ooooooooo you slept in your bed. HP and MP are fully restored. 17. 4. 1988: Sunday morning, Hadrian was full of energy again and was still surprised that he hadn't seen a single nightmare in the last week. He was a little sorry that he hadn't even had a dream, but if it was a tax that he would never hear a woman's scream and that cold laughter, he was willing to pay it. After breakfast, he waited for Uncle Vernon to have a job for him, but he was only told that his relatives were leaving to visit the amusement park and return to the evening. Because Vernon refused to leave him alone at home, expelled him out and ordered him to return at seven in the evening, until then he could do what he wanted. This freedom was something Hadrian was waiting for, so he used it to run toward the forest. Kvikálkovský les was less than a kilometer from the last house in the street and between it and the street was a grassy meadow. He heard from older students that some of them belonged to the rival groups, who had built secret shelters and bunkers in this forest. In addition, the cone wars waged between them who controls what part of the forest. These parties went out into the forest during the harvest to collect forest fruits and mushrooms and then sell them to their families for pocket money. The larger the territory so some group controlled, the greater their final earnings. Hadrian honestly had no idea who belonged to what territory, but as soon as he entered the forest, he was supposed to find out. In front of his eyes appeared a complete map of the Kvikálkovský forest, although darkened, but with the clearly colored boundaries of the territory of various groups. You entered the clan warfare of local parts! INFO: If you want to participate in the fighting for the territory, you must either join a party or create your own faction. To create your own faction, you will need a faction name, a representative flag and your own territory. Finally, everyone else at the clan session, which takes place on the first Saturday of the summer holidays, must recognize your faction. This info quite surprised him, but he was grateful. On the map he found an area that did not belong to anyone and immediately went to it. He thought he was lucky to come across a territory that wasn't under a party, but soon found out why. Most of this part of the forest was rather rocky and even saw a long and wide abyss, the depth of which was estimated at least fifteen to twenty meters. On the other hand, he was lucky because a smaller stream ran into the abyss. He drank cautiously and was surprised at how clean and refreshing the water was. He pulled out three liter bottles from the inventory and filled them all with clean water. She was definitely tastier than what flowed in their home from the tap, where he could sometimes feel a strange smell, the aunt Petunia often called chlorine. Hadrian honestly had no idea what to make a flag or what name he chooses, but before he fully decides to choose one of the two options, he started exploring the entire forest, which took him the rest of the day. At the end of his exploration, his forest map changed and not only was perfectly rendered, there was also information about the location of the bunkers of all factions, and there was no marking of places where it was possible to collect the largest amount of forest fruit. He was also surprised when he also found information about the potential of the fertility of this fruit and fungi. "This will be enough planning. I wonder if my profession of gardener allows me to transplant or multiply blueberry bushes. According to this map, they can do well in a more rocky environment, "Hadrian said aloud, and immediately planned another visit to the school library, where he was going to find out everything needed. OOOOOOOOO 23. 4. 1988: All his other attributes were at ten points, which he wished. Which was indeed a limit for him, which he could not get through without using the free attribute points. Even his profession cook stuck on level 15 and did not get a single level in the last three days. When he examined why, he found out in his recipe note that he was still getting no levels. He was getting expos from the daily task, although he was waiting for these expos to start to shrink or disappear completely. He hoped it wouldn't be too soon, currently it was the only reliable supply of expos. He couldn't rely too much on his neighbors, and his aunt refused to give him more homework. As the storm slowly approached them. To his misfortune, his aunt had to go to the store for something, and his uncle used it to kick him out of the house. Hadrian had no better thought than heading into the forest for a more thorough exploration of the unseen territory, hoping to find some shelter there where he could survive the coming storm. According to television news, it should overstate across their part of the country quite quickly and should be nice in the evening, but still did not want to stay outside without anything overhead. To his misfortune, even after an hour of searching, he found nothing to hide, and because he heard the thunder literally over his head, he headed for the nearest bunker of one of the parts. The camp of this party, which was blue on the map, consisted of several shelters and there was also an older tent, which certainly experienced a better period, but for him it was sufficient to hide there from the rain. He started at the same time as he arrived at the blue camp. He knew he had many hours before the rain stopped, so he curled up to keep as much heat as possible, not that the cold was too bothering him. As he sat there, he thought about his plans. The longer he thought about it, the more he liked the idea of his own faction in the struggle for the Kvikálkovský Forest. During the week he found out who the party belonged to and they were all older students who didn't let anyone young. He learned that even Dudley tried to get into one of these parts, but after he was rejected, he set up his own group. Not that others would ever recognize him and accept him as an opponent, when he even decided to make problems, all the parties joined against him and gave him a clear lesson. Since then, Dudley and his friends have not dared to approach the forest again, which fully suited Hadrian. He also found from his studies and research that his possible territory had enough space and the necessary conditions to plant blueberries for blueberry and blackberry for raspberry and blackberry cultivation. From what he read, it was not easy at all, but he was not afraid of this challenge. Unlike the rest of the forest, its territory was the only place where a stream of clean water was located, and if he last saw well, there was a small lake in the abyss where the stream was running down. He only hoped that the gap would not be flooded due to rains. Already in the DIY tool shop he saw a strong enough rope to save so he could get down to the bottom. Fortunately, the storm did not last too long, and after he climbed out of the hiding place of the older tent, he just welcomed the fresh air. Because he wanted to verify something, he headed for the abyss and was pleased when the level of the pond did not rise in any way, despite the fact that the brook spread to the whole half meter to both sides. He was sincerely interested in where this stream flows and so he went upstream, just after fifteen minutes to reach a five-meter storage wall from which water flowed through the cracks and slowly accumulated in a smaller pond than flowing into the abyss from which he came here. According to the map, this warehouse wall stretched less than fifty meters into both directions, where it slowly decreased before merging with the surrounding terrain. The area behind the rock wall did not dare to explore, it was marked in red with a warning that there was a danger for which it was not yet prepared. OOOOOOOOO 24. 4. 1988: Sunday day he returned to the Kvikálkovský forest and could hear someone's voices from a distance. Quickly, but quietly, he headed in their direction to see who went into the forest and after a few minutes among the trees saw two boys who could have been around thirteen years. Robert Robinson - lvl. ? - Yellow clan leader - John Hammer - lvl. 12 - a member of the Yellow Clan - I wish I could see more than just what is above their heads. Hadrian thought, and was surprised to see new information and reports that he had a new skill. Name: John Hammer Age: 12 Title: Yellow Clan Member Level: 12 HP :? With your will you unlocked a special skill - observation (lvl. 1)! Observation - Magic Skill - Type: Active School of Magic: Divination Level: 1 Price: 0 MP Info: Observation is a special magic skill that allows you to get basic information about a person, subject, plant, etc ... Its basic use doesn't cost you magic, but if you want to actively find something specific, the price of using it can climb up to one million magic points. The higher the level of this magical skill, the more information you see. Although this ability falls into the magic school of divination, you actually pay the magic energy of Gaia, the creator of the entire The Gamer system. Finally, something useful and although this is a magical skill, its use does not cost me any magic. He thought and used the same ability on Robert. Name: Robert Robinson Age: 14 Title: Yellow Clan Leader Level :? HP:? All I found out is his age. From this I can deduce his approximate level, which is usually the same as age. Only weaker individuals have a lower level than their age, gifted individuals tend to have a level one or two higher than their age. Because of my level limitation, I am not able to see adults, but that doesn't matter yet. Hadrian said to himself in his mind to himself, quietly watching the two older boys walking toward their territory and campsite. According to their conversation, they were going to check the damage that the cold had done there and were going to start the restoration before the other parties. Hadrian watched them for only a quarter of an hour before deciding to go in the opposite direction. So far he had nothing to build a camp, but that did not mean that he could not start collecting the necessary material in the form of fallen branches or thin trees. After all, he had a wood saw in his inventory, so with a little luck he might be able to build a basic shelter near the abyss in which he was going to make his base. You have successfully spied on potential opponents in clan wars. You acquire a new skill - sneaking (lvl. 1)! Sneaking - Skill - Type: Active Level: 1 The chance of your revelation: 89% Info: This skill allows you to get to your goal without being revealed to you, whether it's humans, animals or monsters. The higher the level of this skill, the lower the chance of your revelation. After reaching the maximum level of this skill, you have a chance to unlock new and stronger skills with the same focus. So this skill is one of the most useful I still own. Not only will it be useful for these clan wars, but also in avoiding attention from my relatives. Hadrian rejoiced and immediately activated this new skill to raise its level by using it. He bothered a little that the sneaking was deactivated every time he was spotted by a single bird or another animal in the forest, but that only motivated him to improve and get to the level where even normal game would not be able to sense his presence. OOOOOOOOO 7 May 1988: Another two weeks passed very quickly, during which Aunt Petunia decided to teach him more complicated meals and so his level of chefs began to rise again. But he not only increased the level of the cook, but also the gardener and his other skills. Even his own level jumped and was currently in a slightly sixth until the fourth level. The problem was that he didn't get any more tasks on the weekends, and although he heard Mr. Whiteman was looking for his help, Uncle Vernon refused him very quickly and slammed the door in front of his nose. Aunt Petunia seems to have heard from her neighbors that it is not normal for young children to do the work of adults, so this way to get both expos and money has closed. With a new level, he also gained one attribute of the point to Vit, Dex and Wis. He partially hoped that if he raised the level, he would have a chance to get the attribute points from strengthening, studying and so on, but he had seen no progress in the last ten days, so he has rejected this method so far. The good news for him was when they got a piece of canvas in art education to create their own flag. Their teacher gave them a free hand and told them that their limit was only their imagination and the ability to turn their idea into reality. Hadrian, who had been thinking about his coat of arms for some time, knew exactly what he wanted. Especially when the teacher promised them that after completing the flag and its marking, they would be able to keep it to show off to their families. According to the previously prepared model, he began to draw the outline than he continued with more detail, then less details until he finally got to coloring and shading. Already in the last lesson of art education, when they were to paint still life, he unlocked a new profession - painter. Not that he saw a future for her, but it certainly helped him in the fact that his drawings and paintings were of much higher quality and not only a little faster than the others, it didn't cost him so much effort to imagine the final painting he was trying to do. "Harry, I didn't know you chose something so complicated. But you definitely have artistic talent, few people of your age are able to do such quality work, "the teacher praised him and Hadrian smiled at her than he returned to his flag, which was the black and white Ouroboros with the emerald eye and red canine. So it looked far better than just a classic drawing. Shading gave it some depth." One star, definitely the most sophisticated flag I've seen among your classmates. I'm very glad for your improvement and I hope you can stay among the average pupils from the position where we have noticed your improvement and I can tell you They were afraid that you would be in danger of forfeiture, "she told him, and although Hadrian was grateful and proud of his progress, he was slightly frightened by the reactions of his relatives when he brought a report card with better results than his cousin had. "Thank you, teacher," he thanked and folded the flag carefully to keep it in his backpack, but in fact he kept it in inventory because he saw the look of his cousin, who had a simple cross on his flag with smaller DD letters on his sides. OOOOOOOO He managed to find enough money to buy a rope, so he got to the bottom of the abyss, where he made his camp. He found two entrances to the caves, but both had a barrier that did not allow him to go further with too small level. Part and learned the exact location and time of the clan leaders' meeting. He himself was going to attend and so with a proudly erect flag was heading right there. Originally, the meeting was supposed to be on the first Saturday on the summer holidays, but the leaders were going to meet a month earlier. And he stabbed his flag into the ground, as the other leaders did. "Who are you and what do you want here?" A young man with a black flag attacked him with a laughing human skull. William Morgan - lvl.? Hadrian and wasn't going to be intimidated by a much older and more powerful boy. "Potter? Like the Potter that Dursley and his bunch are blaming for all his mischiefs? "Asked Robert, whom Hadrian had been spying on many times in the last month." My older and less intelligent cousin I have to live with, "Hadrian confirmed. "How many members are there in your clan? Otherwise, a super flag, "the blue clan leader asked. Adam Oldwood - lvl. 13 - The Blue Clan leader -" I am alone and my purpose is only to find a safe haven from Dudley and his bunch of rejects. "So you're not going to fight with us for our territory? Not that you have a chance when you are alone and not a few, "asked another of the leaders who stood at the flag with the pentagram. Frank Walker - lvl. "I have no problem with that. There is not much growing on the rocks anyway, and Joan saw some snakes there last year, so we all prefer to avoid it, "Robert said." I agree with Robert, "Adam said. "No matter what he wants, but between my clan and his clan, he must never be a ceasefire and can expect lightning raids from the Black Clan. If he wants to own a territory, he must be able to protect him," William said, and his other three clans were not spared from lightning. Raids they took with their friends. "Nothing else can be expected of you, William. What name does your clan bear and what color will it represent you? "Adam asked the latest and youngest of the leaders." Ouroboros by the emblem on the flag. And my color will be green, "Robert announced on the stump of a hand-painted map of Kvikálkovský forest. At the same time, Hadrian noticed that their map did not contain a red-colored area and, according to their drawing, ended up with the boundaries of fields on the other side of the forest. "Isn't the forest going beyond that one hundred meters long rock wall?" He asked, pointing to the place of his territory, and everyone looked at him like a fool. "There is nothing else in those places, just the end of the forest and the great agricultural fields." William snorted and Hadrian knew his map was not. Completely ignored. "My mistake, I thought the forest was much bigger," he said, shrugging. "When we took our baby, we can finally make a decision on important dates," William said, pointing to a calendar where all months were on a single page. "This year we started preparations earlier, last year the weather was not as good as this year. I would have ended the peace time on the fourth of July, which means we still have a month of time. Fighting for the territory will last a month with the usual rules, "Frank said." What style of combat will we choose? Last year, Samuel had to go to the hospital with a broken nose when he got a green cone in the face, "Adam said, hoping any injured this year. "My father got a big shipment of balls that imitate real weapons. Their price ranges from three to ten pounds, plus a pound for a container with two hundred balls, "William suggested." Are you crazy? Do you want us to shoot your eyes? Have you seen Cedrik turned out? " Robert immediately protested. "We won't be so close to each other, a maximum of twenty meters, and in such a distance it is almost impossible to feel," William snorted. "What about your assault tactics from behind? Also, will it be from twenty meters?" Adam was digging, and everyone knew it would be much more close. "We will stay with the cones and it is forbidden to use green cones. Everyone has only one life per day, at least in an official attack. Lightning raids are governed by the rule that the defender must return to the camp after the intervention before he can return to the defense of his territory. But the attacker is not allowed to return after a single hit and can not carry a swag, "Frank decided, and except William, everyone else agreed. Hadrian easily understood these rules and although he wasn't going to participate in the fighting, he was expecting a black clan to take a lot of lightning. Find your campsite?" Robert asked. "In the abyss," Hadrian replied simply before he pulled his flag out of the ground and faded with a good-bye wave. The four of them tried to see him among the trees, but barely missed the first one, completely disappeared. "Damn, Anna is not so good and her father is a professional hunter," Leader. "I guess William and his bunch of pirates will not have such an easy job here to enter the Green Clan," Frank said. "We are definitely waiting for interesting times," Robert agreed, but William did not comment and left the clearing second. OOOOOOOOO June 25, 1988: Three weeks have passed since the first meeting of clan leaders and Hadrian was ready for any attack. He placed hidden cones all over his territory and could say that if his enemies did not bring their own ammunition supplies, they would find very few in their neighborhood. In addition to preparing for the upcoming clan war, he trained his sneaking skills and observation, which reached the same level of 22. Three days ago he won the fourth level, with the fact that he received one attribute of the point to STR, VIT and LUK. His profession Gardener did not make much progress, he was on level 25 out of 75, and the cook profession jumped to level 61 of 75. His aunt noticed his talent in this kind of work and so she began to teach him other dishes. Although he was given a level to the profession, he had only one day's task from her, and 62 expos were currently too few for him. At this rate, he would need more than a hundred days to get to Level 5, so he had been wondering where to get expos quickly and easily in the last few days. "Hey, Hadriane, how are you?" Robert called to him when he saw him go in the same direction into the Kvikálkovský forest. "Robert. I'm fine, what about you? Preparations?" Hadrian asked and waited a moment for Robert to get to his level. "You write it! This is the third year I have led the Yellow Clan and this year we are fully prepared. Otherwise, the school ended yesterday, so I'm fine, "Robert replied with pleasure." My spies noticed that you managed to pick up all the cones in our territory. None of us understand how you did so quickly, "he added, not wanting to believe that someone was able to do something. "It took a while, but after I divided my territory into smaller squares, the procedure was very simple," Hadrian replied, not mentioning the advantage that he threw all the cones straight into his inventory and hid them in the hidden places exactly hundreds. Now that his map of the Kvikálkovský forest was almost complete. So he had more than one advantage over the others. He himself took invasions in the Black Clan in the early morning, where he took unnoticed most of the lone shrubs of blueberry and blackberry, which he planted in his territory where the same plants had already been very good. According to the map, the potential of his territory was tenfold. To make matters worse, in the abyss at the lake found the entire flower bed of wild strawberries according to his observation skill, their harvest this year will be quite large. "I never thought, although our territory is huge and carrying a large number of cones is difficult," Robert complained. "William and his bunch use potato bags and crates. They have five full bags and ten crates in their campsite, "Hadrian told him, and Robert looked at him as if he had fallen from a tree." How the hell did you get to their camp? They have a lot of traps around him and still have patrols outside school hours, "the older boy didn't understand. "Traps are useless to them when they have safe paths between them. You can also trust me that I spend much more time in the forest than you think, "Hadrian replied, and because they reached the forest, waved goodbye to him, and before Robert knew it, he disappeared right behind the first tree and tried to catch him." Damn, he is like a ghost, "campsite. Robert mentioned that he had finished his school, and although he was supposed to have another four days of teaching, he received a report earlier, saying that he and Dudley were already on holiday. When he returned home yesterday, Vernon threw him out the door, grabbed Dudley, and went to the hospital together. According to what Uncle Vernon shouted at him, Aunt Petunia was in the care of doctors because of some difficulties and was supposed to stay in the hospital for the next few days. Although he did not wish his aunt anything wrong, it was quite lucky for him, because his uncle did not want a report card and he did not even offer him. He also doubted he would want to see him soon, and he hoped he would forget him completely. On the way to his camp, he went through all the transplanted plants and verified that they were doing well and there was no problem with them. After a successful inspection, he finally went to his camp, where he built a proper shelter. It was not easy, but after creating a makeshift ladder, he was able to build a perpendicular roof of thin logs, which at the lowest point was two meters above the ground. He also covered the roof with a tarpaulin previously obtained before placing a considerable amount of leaves and moss on it. The columns that held this roof dug thirty centimeters into the ground and were made up of seven thin trunks. Moreover, everything was properly tied together and his entire building did not move even after he passed the test several times on the roof. Under the shelter he managed to get a higher and mainly wide log, which served as a table, while the smaller log served as a chair. Not far from the shelter he made a stone circle with a smaller hole, it was his fireplace, not that he found the opportunity to make a fire. The lake, which was in his camp, had pleasantly lukewarm water and was not even deep, so he spent part of his day off in the water. To his misfortune, he wasn't big enough or deep enough to acquire the swimming skill, he would probably have to visit a swimming pool or swimming pool. But that was completely unrealistic, his relatives would not allow him to learn something their son was unable to do, so it was another thing he had to forget for now. OOOOOOOOO 4 July 1988: The first Monday of the seventh month of the year meant absolutely nothing for the vast majority of people, but for about thirty children between seven and fifteen, it meant the start of the fight over the Kvikálkovský Forest. For the whole weekend, Hadrian had watched the members of all the other clans look around his territory, and he enjoyed it immensely when he appeared near them to wave them and then quickly disappear again. As a result, he earned the nickname Ghost for all. Early in the morning, the Black Clan declared war on the Yellow Clan over part of their territory, and Hadrian watched it all from a safe distance so that none of the participants could see it. Robert's clan did not do very well, especially when they ran out of ammunition in the form of cones. Hadrian grinned at the situation and decided to help with the course. Unobtrusively, he got near Robert, who covered behind the accumulated barrier of brushwood with his hissing at him. When the older boy turned in surprise, Hadrian covered his lips with his finger to show him not to talk before pointing to the ground, where he almost unheardly put the crate full of cones. It was one of the three crates he had captured this morning when he raided the Black Clan. Before Robert recovered from surprise and could thank him, Hadrian was gone again. "John, move your ass, I have a new supply of ammunition!" Robert shouted to a member of his clan who had the most accurate blow. "Where did you get it?" John didn't understand, staring at the crate with the enemy clan logo. "Spirit," Robert replied with a single word, bothering one of the cones before peering out of his hiding place and hitting a member of the attacking clan with a precise blow. "Hehehe, William must rage a lot when this crate disappeared directly from the camp," John laughed at three throws. "I'm surprised there is no lightning from his eyes," Robert laughed, looking for someone to eliminate. "There are only three left. What if you lured them out and I take them all?" John suggested after a while. "No problem," Robert agreed, and with a smaller supply of cones, he ran out of his hiding place to make an easy goal. Their plan came out because the Black Clan was returning to his camp without success, while the Yellow Clan members plunged into the battlefield. "Congratulations on successful defense. See how Adam is doing with the attack on Frank," Hadrian said behind them, and disappeared as quickly as he appeared there. John jumped on the spot and put his hand on his chest as his heart pounded quickly. "Damn, I almost got a heart attack!" He cried, and he wasn't the only one who was startled by Hadrian, but he was the only one who had such a strong reaction, which made everyone present laugh. "What would you expect from the ghost," said another wave of laughter. And he certainly wasn't wrong. That day, the Blue Clan attack on the White Clan was unsuccessful, which meant that the defending clans had two days of rest before the next possible attack. The black clan led by William tried to make a lightning raid on Hadrian's territory, but he knew about them as soon as they crossed its borders. Within ten minutes, a group of six boys went back to their territory without a single success, and each rubbed a sore spot on his ass or thigh, where Hadrian hit them all. When the other clans learned of this, the Black Clan was just a laugh, which was not pleasing to William, and his clan members were not satisfied with his outbursts of rage. Two girls decided to leave the clan that day and joined the Blue Clan, where Adam welcomed them with open arms. OOOOOOOOO 8 July 1988: In the last few days there have been several fighting and lightning raids. Hadrian successfully resisted the raids from the blue and white clan, and Robert seemed to have no similar ambitions. Instead, Robert managed to acquire part of the Black Clan territory, just as the White Clan succeeded, although they lost a similar part of the territory under the second attack by the Blue Clan. Hadrian could have said with a clear conscience that he had never had a good time before, especially when he secretly supplied ammunition to all sorts of parties, especially when they were fighting the Black Clan. As a thank you from Robert, the black clan crate returned, and although it was not full of cones, there was a message with half a cake. Frank had him sent three chocolate bars to the campsite, saying that he would keep the crate for easier transport of ammunition on the battlefield for the time being. Even Adam did not stay behind and sent to him the youngest of the girls who gave him five homemade cakes. He gratefully received all the gifts and hoped that one day he would not realize that he was helping each of them without a hint of helping someone else. It was Friday morning and he finished breakfast for his uncle and cousin, to his bad luck without a daily task, which he could only accept in the presence of his aunt. Fortunately, she was supposed to return from the hospital that day, so he could count on resuming the supply of new expos from the next day. "Hmm, if it's not an infamous ghost and especially a thief!" Hadrian heard William's voice and saw him accompanied by two other older boys. "You never hid that you want to make raids in my territory, William. I just hit your clan on the first blow and reduce your ammunition." "I want my three crates back today, shrimp," William warned him. "I'll give you two, the third is not in my possession. Moreover, after the fighting, they would return to you anyway or not?" Hadrian replied, seeing no reason to unleash any quarrel. "I warned you, shrimp. It could happen that you could lose your shelter or even get out of the abyss on the next raid, "William threatened before nodding at his friends and heading away. I will return the crates, dear William, but you shouldn't have threatened me like this. Hadrian, and it flashed dangerously in his eyes. OOOOOOOOO July 9, 1988: Saturday morning, Hadrian returned two empty crates to William and told him again that the third was in possession of another of the three remaining clans. He also told him that he was going to be unprepared. William laughed at him immediately and promised him a hard retribution for the reproach he had caused them during their own raid on his territory. Hadrian didn't do anything about it and just smiled at the older boy before he disappeared from the trees." You heard, the shrimp thinks he can take us. We will show him that this is not a child's game that he can attend and we will send him home with a cry to hide his mother's skirt! "William shouted to encourage his clan, not knowing Hadrian was still close enough to hear his every word and no one could see his dark shadow waiting for an hour. Hadrian to see, if he didn't want to. After an hour of waiting, the older boys finally got to see and Hadrian seemingly attacked several of them, but missed them all and fled away from their camp. His plan was to lure all black clan members to the border at the end of the forest. The fact that he was guiding them all by the nose, William was too late. When someone defended the camp and was hit, he was not allowed to move for another two minutes, which was long enough for Hadrian to catch their flag and disappear from their eyes." Damn! " William shouted out loud, wondering how to take revenge on the little bastard. "This afternoon is called a clan meeting. Adam also sends warnings, if any of you do anything against our rules, you will never look back into our forest again, "the Blue Clan messenger, which William murdered, appeared." How did you get here so quickly? " He asked through his clenched teeth and noticed that there were messengers and other clans. "Hadrian told us that you threatened him with the destruction of the campsite and what his answer would be. We all know how you got rid of the Red Clan two years ago, and none of us will allow anything like this to happen again. Until you are sixteen, you are in probation, you don't want to end up in a correctional facility, "John warned the yellow team." I'll be there with the ransom, "William said after some time, realizing he was on thin ice and his entire clan was being expelled from Kvikálkovský. He also knew that the only problem at his address and would bear the consequences that would be going on with him all his life. "What are we going to do?" His deputy asked after their clan was left. "We will do that the bastard does not exist. We will buy our flag and its territory will be a forbidden zone. Thirty-five pounds is not a small amount and it will hit our final earnings." Tell others to go through our territory and see if we can find out if we lost two parts of the territory. Blueberries always matured here soon, "William decided, heading home to collect the necessary funds from the clan cash to redeem their flag. Each clan had a chance to redeem its flag for money or in kind of the same value. The value of the flag was set at five pounds for each clan member this year. Fortunately, every clan could only capture the flag of another clan once, so there was nothing to worry about on the Green Clan side. William was already planning how to capture the flags of the other clans to return this money as quickly as possible. The problem was that of the four large clans, he had the least members of it. "Here is thirty-five pounds, our flag," William said a few hours later in a clearing where clan leaders gathered. "The Black Clan now has a week of withdrawal," Robert added when the flag was purchased without problems. "Too bad, but we have other goals," Frank said, smiling at Adam, whose clan had the largest number of members. "Where are you going to attack us?" Adam asked immediately, and Frank showed him a place on the map. It was the edge of their territory that was closest to the common border of the Blue and Yellow Clan. If the white clan were able to obtain this sector, they would open their way to the Yellow Clan territory. "A brave plan, buddy," Adam said, accepting the challenge without any problems. The fight for the territory was supposed to take place the next morning, and Hadrian decided not to interfere too much in the next fight if one of the clans had too much advantage. Hadrian was richer in the inventory and three liters of blueberries. A liter of raspberries. According to what he saw, within two days he could have half a liter of blackberries that matured a little slower in its territory than raspberries or blueberries. OOOOOOOOO 10 July 1988: After Sunday morning he was ready to go to Kvikálkovský forest, but Aunt Petunia immediately stopped him. And I don't mind, especially when you're not in Vernon's eyes. I also know that the forest fruit season has begun. For each liter of blueberries you get two pounds, for a liter of raspberries or blackberries I will give you five pounds. If you agree, I'll prepare you a few liters, "she offered and completely surprised him. Hadrian had no idea that the price was only half of what Petunia wanted to sell to her neighbors. Of course, he had a new warning with the assignment. Task notice! (New task) Title: Collection of forest fruits! Type: Optional submitter: Petunie Dursley (Evans) Description: - Aunt Petunia has made you an offer that is not just refused. They will buy any amount of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries from you. Isn't that convenient when you control part of the Kvikálkovský Forest? This task will end with the end of the collection season at the end of September and will be updated regularly. Main objectives: 1. Collect a liter of blueberries! 2. Collect a liter of raspberries! 3. Collect a liter of blackberries! Side objectives: 1. Selling your aunt at least 25 liters of blueberries! 2. Sales to your aunt at least 15 liters of raspberries! 3. Selling to your aunt at least 15 liters of blackberries! Reward for task completion: 1. 0 - 1 100 EXP 2. 2 pounds and more penalties for failure to complete the task: 1. Loss of the possibility of getting more tasks from Aunt Petunia! Do you wish to accept this task? Yes / No "I know where I can find any," Hadrian agreed, and Aunt Petunia opened a box where ten portable containers with a line showing one liter level were stored. "From here you can take containers for what you collect. Otherwise you don't want me if you damage or lose one!" She warned him and went to the dining room to join her family. Hadrian did not wait for anything, put several of them in the inventory and grabbed the rest in his hands so as not to raise any suspicion before heading to his camp with the garden door. OOOOOOOOO 18. 7. 1988: The whole week has passed since he got the latest task from his aunt. In total, he has brought home seventeen liters of blueberries, six liters of raspberries and four liters of blackberries. This was currently the overall crop of his territory, but he knew from the observation that it was not all and the next crop is still waiting, just had to wait at least two weeks. Blueberries and raspberries did not make him such a problem, it was worse with blackberries, which he did not have much in his territory and could manage to collect fifteen liters only if he gained a hundred percent of the crop, which was not real. As soon as he finished his breakfast for his relatives, he not only received a notice that he had completed his daily assignment, but also that he had reached the maximum level of the cook for the current level. Congratulations! You have reached the maximum level of tier 1 profession: Cook! The level of this profession has been raised, as a reward you get +1,000 EXP! Chef - Profession - Type: Active level: Tier 2 Level: 0/150 Info: This profession allows you to prepare any dish.

Info tier 2: You are no longer an ordinary amateur and you know the kitchen. You could think about expanding your repertoire. Recipes: 9x - You will get new recipes by successfully making the dish. You must always meet certain conditions for automatic food production. Usually it is a perfect preparation of food several times in a row without a single mistake. - You can find a list of all recipes and their details in section 8. Registry in the Recipes Subsection (Profession: Chef). "Aunt Petunia remarked last night after she entered the kitchen and noticed only three full containers." The whole forest is divided between more groups and I can only collect where no one is. The season has just begun, so it should have a few more liters in a week or two, "Hadrian explained. She did not invent, but she knew well that she was telling the truth, after all, Mrs. Morgan's son had often praised that his crew was controlling the largest part of the Kvikálkovský Forest. "You will wait until we finish and then wash all the dishes. Today you will help me prepare lunch, "she told him now, and he slowly suspected that before he could, he would have the task of preparing all the meals in the house. Even at that moment he had no idea what he was going to do. After washing the dishes, Aunt Petunia gave him a cookbook and ordered him to learn the first five recipes. Vernon, like every working morning, went to work, so Hadrian stayed in the house for the next hour all alone. Do you wish to learn all the recipes in the cookbook for home cooking? Yes / No WARNING: If you choose this quick learning option, who knows what Teta Petunie would have to choose. She did, if one of her books disappeared. This, however, led him to get some good cookbook for the money he earned and learn so many more recipes than the thirty in the book he held. He also thought that if he could learn ordinary recipes for his cook profession, he wouldn't be able to get new skills anyway. Martial Arts Manuals? He knew he had missed the flea market at the beginning of the holiday season, and he didn't even have enough money to buy anything there. However, another and larger market was scheduled to take place at the end of September, and that was the time when it was to end its current task for collecting forest fruit. It was only a pity that Uncle Vernon hated mushrooms because he had already seen a few inedible mushrooms and gave it a month before edible mushrooms began to appear. OOOOOOOOO 31. 7. 1988: You slept in your bed. HP and MP are fully restored. Congratulations! You have reached your eighth year of life. As a gift you will receive +2400 EXP and 50 pounds! Sunday morning he was awakened by a double announcement. He knew he had a birthday, but it was the first time he remembered getting a present. He did not expect his relatives to remember his birthday, he would maximize his new amount of work, after all, the last two days of Aunt Petunia had only supervised how skillfully he was preparing lunch for her entire family, which of course he did not count. The fact that he was forced to make lunch would not bother him as much as he was supervised and was not able to secretly take part of his portion, not that it was any big, but every little bit was better than nothing. The daily ritual always started by getting up, rinsed quickly, prepared breakfast and then washed the dishes after all. Often he found the dishes from the previous day in the sink, and Aunt Petunia let him deal with it on his own. "Today we take Dudley to Vernon's sister and return to the lunch you prepare today without my supervision!" Aunt Petunia commanded him as soon as they ended up with breakfast and he could only nod in agreement because another task appeared in front of him. Task notice! (New Task) Title:: - During the week of helping to prepare lunch, you have proven that your aunt Petunia can rely on you, and so the responsibility for everyday lunch now falls on you. Main goals: 1. Prepare lunch for three people! Reward for task: 1. 300 Expile for failure to do this! Of course, he did not accept the new task, every task was important to him, and quickly calculated that at the end of the next week he could finally get to level 5, finally getting over Dudley and embarking on a journey to catch up with all his peers. Before her aunt Petunia left the house, she checked everything in the kitchen, and in the cookbook she was flipping through the food she wanted for today. Lunch was normally served at one o'clock, and Hadrian knew about how long the preparation would take him. Fortunately, because he was a steel soon, he had two to three hours of free time to go into the forest, quickly gathered everything he could find, checked his territory, and quickly went back home. Oooooooooo Hadrian was lucky, barely five minutes after he cooked his lunch when he heard the door slamming from his uncle's car. "I'm hungry, little bit, so I hope lunch is ready, otherwise I don't want me!" Uncle Vernon roared at the whole house, and it didn't seem to be in a very good mood. "Everything is ready to serve, Uncle Vernone," Hadrian assured him. "You're lucky, a little guy," Vernon said, and when Hadrian returned to the kitchen, he didn't forget to kick him. Hadrian didn't expect this at all, and he blink his eye on the floor he crashed with, not only feeling the back pain, but he just smashed it. The glasses he needed to see. "Vernone! You know I hate blood in my house!" Aunt Petunia said right away and lifted Hadrian to her feet by grabbing him by the hair, which was very painful. When she made sure she wasn't bleeding from nowhere, she sent him to the kitchen to adjust. "Marge is right, we should have thrown the monster into some gap!" Vernon said. "It's too late, everyone knows about its existence long ago. Plus, you don't want me to spend my whole day boiling when the boy is able to do it, right?" Petunia replied, and Vernon murmured under his nose before settling at the table and loading a full cauldron of soup. Task notice! (Completing a task) Title: Main Meal of the Day! Type: Daily submitter: Petunia Dursley (Evans) Description: - Uncle Vernon may growl, but as long as he has a full stomach and finds nothing on his plate that bothers him, you are safe from his anger. Aunt Petunia is, of course, happy with the fact that she has more free time to spy on her neighbors. Main objectives: 1. Prepare lunch for three people! Reward for task: 1. 300 EXP + 25% = 375 EXP! Although he could successfully complete the next task, he was not pleased at all. Not only did the fat pig think of it from behind, his face, his back, his back aching, and he wouldn't be surprised if his aunt Petunia hadn't ripped off a few hair as he lifted him from the ground. The worst thing was the pain, he got used to it long ago in this house. No, the worst thing was that one glass of his glasses was completely fragmented, and he strongly doubted that one of them would buy him new glasses. This meant that he would have to divide what he had earned in the last month to buy new glasses when he was planning to use all the money in the flea market and buy enough food. However, it was only a matter of time before he was strong enough and would return everything with interest. Then they will regret that they have ever reached their hand at all.
