Chapter 33
(Story from the past, Pt 4)
Jake the Survivor Pov:
The last time I saw the surface was when I entered the dungeon over twenty years ago. Back then it was a lush forest and as a Thirty two year old man who loved the outdoors, it was perfect. But I was now a fifty three year old man with grey hair who loved the outdoors.
But when I exited, all I saw was snow and Ice. Life was slowly making it through it, it seemed winter had descended. But it was not until I exited that I realized what had happened. A glacier had moved in and almost destroyed the place. This was not the only glacier with a dungeon beneath it though, I had seen many more.
I descended the mountain when I felt a powerful presence. It was not human, Beast-kin, Dwarf, or Elf, it was a Demon. I put on a burst of speed and got to a nearby town where I felt life and demon power reaching it in no time. When I got there I saw a great Demon! If one was hear it spelled imminent War.
It was about to attack the people of that town, retired workers. So I went in between and blocked it taking the brunt of the damage. The demon had got surprised that I had blocked him. He threw another punch and a few of my skills had activated. Super regeneration, Enhanced breathing, and since its name was a mouthful I just called it —-.
It only activated when I was —————- and ————— those in need. I only learned what had happened after-wards from the villagers. They were indeed scared and surprised when a man around their age appeared from nowhere.
When I told them where I had come from they were even more surprised. The village was not here twenty years ago, but I felt people here. As it turns out I had gone sixty miles in a minute when I ran. But it could be said that I flied, I could run at a mile per second at this age. The demon had appeared not happy with the world and wanting to run rampant.
He had shown his strength to them when he destroyed a house by blowing. I came in just as he was about to attack people, I had stood there taking the attack for a few minutes. Everyone was surprised that I was so strong, I had not trained for twenty years in vain.
When I went unconscious I disappeared for a second. The next the demon was kicked from his left and thrown hundreds of feet. I had kicked him from the left unconscious, the next I was above him as he was flying. There was a farmer nearby, even though it was winter, he saw me. He said I had punched down throwing the demon into the snow as he vomited blood.
As it had impacted, the ground had a indention fifty feet wide, around that a circle twenty five and just beyond that one at ten feet wide. I had punched with strength that was not believable, even more in my past world. I had landed on the demons chest, the demon in whole was almost as big as a shed.
I had said as the villagers said I did, "Leave and never return. Do that or bear the Consequences!" With that it had run off to its home in the east. I had been to that continent and I did not like it so I did not spend a long time there.
The villagers gave me a house house which I accepted Gratefully. I stayed there for the next two years protecting it from monsters. But then words of a Federation of trade reached me and I said goodbye to visit it. The king of my nation did not want me to go since I was considered a superpower. But he knew he could not stop me and I left to find the Trade federation. I never visited the town for more than a day at a time over the rest of my life. They renamed the town after my daughter and kept my house safe and untouched. My daughter, she was mine, but not with my wife, with Cariona. She had descended as a Beast-kin Dire wolf a few years later, saying she was looking for her father Jake.
Narrator Pov:
Over the years Jake had went out and discovered different things. He had trained to a limit thought impossible to overcome. He had went over the level that was thought to be the max. It was as if he had no limits in his life, just his aura was dangerous.
When he had left Aqua town he was afraid of losing dangerous weapons. In that state of mind he went to explore the world with only a pocket knife.
Emma Pov:
"I am going to stop there for today. I have work to do and we have been reading this every day for the past two weeks," Samuel says. He isn't wrong we have been listening to this since it is a important part of history.
It was after lunch and over the past two weeks I had been getting along well with the others. I had learned that Aaron did not want to be the queen of this country if her brother died. She also seemed to like some of the stuff that Architect had made.
Architect was mentioned in the book as a peace organization in this world. But the book made it seem like it was formed after their world was lost. I wonder what that is about, I also seemed like I knew that Jake, but I don't.
Some of the things that architect made are books and other things they said were hundreds of years old. But that does not seem realistic in this world at all. Even if they came from another world those things just would not be possible.
I wondered where it showed what you were in Mana so I asked Hunter, "How do you tell what level you are in Mana?" He seemed confused at first but then saw what I was going for. He pats my head and we go to the living room.
"It is shown in Status, but can also be seen visibly. When someone is fighting they exude an aura that shows their Mana level. If I concentrate Mana in my hand you can see it. I will show you the visible if I can and then the Status," He says as he starts concentrating.
Eventually I can see something very faint, but it's there. It's light Brown, that is EEE rated Mana! "Here is my Status screen, Status Open!," He said pulling up his Status.
