Chapter 36
(Story from the past, Pt 7)
Jake the Survivor Pov:
"Most of your aunts and uncles, the only one still alive is grandmas youngest sister and her husband. Your three friends that you found and rescued when this started are all grandparents now. One, when they came to this world, married a Beast-kin Cat. They are the ones that currently run Pacific. I don't know about the others, I only read the registered names. By the way, your brother has a grandson now, same for most of your cousins," Jackson says but doesn't continue.
There is a boy running towards us in the hallway. "Father, some of those people outside are trying to break in. By the way, who is this?," The boy asks as Jackson picks him up. Looking at him he seems to be part Elf.
"I guess I should have told you earlier, this is my son Arthur, or Art for short. Art, this is your grandfather Jake, the brother of the chairman. Now I will leave you guys be as I go calm down the crowd," He says as he leaves.
"Your my grandfather?," The boy asks to which I nod answering his question.
I put my finger to my lips as I say, "It's a secret! Let's keep it between us!"
"Alright, then lets play some games!," He says leading me to a room on another floor. Looking around he has a lot of my toys from when I was younger. As we play with the toys a man comes in with my stuff and sets it down.
After a while Jackson comes back in and asks me, "So who exactly can I tell you are here? The reason I am asking is people are bound to ask about you." He is right, some will be asking questions about you.
"No-one, I want to see who remembers me after all this time. Especially my wife, how is she by the way Jackson?," I respond. I want to know how she has been doing since I left over thirty years ago. She had to raise Jackson from the age of three. At that time he was already talking when I had left so it would be no wonder if he is in charge of security.
"She is very reserved currently, she tends to stay in her room of pacific. Your house ended up getting destroyed in a low going Snowstorm. It survived that time but then a Hurricane hit us finishing it off. Here is the address," Jackson finishes giving me a piece of paper.
"Thankyou, also your son is very great. I will be going now them, also don't tell my brother," I say as I start to leave.
"Wait, knowing you have been training for years you have lots of skills, high ones at that. But if you don't have a weapon for them they don't go above level 5," Jackson had told me.
That was when he suggested that we get me some weapons. We went to the Armory and I picked out three swords, a bow and arrows, and a shield. The instant I picked them up I used a skill that was not shown as it was in extras. The reason I knew of it was because of another skill not shown.
The second skill made it to where I would know it a skill was usable it would notify me. The first was the option it gave me, there was another option called —— —-, but I don't need that. I ended up checking the options as the skill also notified me. It said, "You have full understanding of the weapons, Swordsmanship and Archery skills are at Max level now. Magic Swordsmanship, Dual Wielding, Magic Archery, Shield, and Magic Shield skills have been unlocked and upgraded to level five."
"I am just to overpowered," I say to which Jackson hears. I was upset, I don't get to work those skills up.
"What do you mean by that?," He asks wanting to know why i said that.
"I have a skill that notifies me of usable skills, best to use skills, and what happens in my skills, HP, MP, and other things changing. The second I picked them up and Identified them, their levels maxed out. I also obtained five new skills, Magic Swordsmanship, Dual Wielding, Magic Archery, Shield, and Magic Shield level five," I reveal. At that he can't understand what I just said at all.
"I'll be going then," I say as I leave but here crying behind me. I look to see Art crying that I am leaving without even saying goodbye. I go console him and tell him that I will return before I leave. I put the first sword, a great sword, on my back. The second, dual ———- on my back as well in a X style. My third, a regular knight sword, on my left hip.
We banned the making of ———- due to their power. They are reserved for those who have earned them and never committed a sin. The storage in which they are kept in I cast a never-ending Magic, it was enchanted with the ability of —— —-. It made it so no bad person or with evil intentions or turn bad in the future could open it. Not that they knew, they just though it was something that chose owners.
The dual weapons were on my back in a X formation so I could grab them. The handles went right over my shoulders so I could easily grab them. The great sword was directly in the middle with a scabbard that made it so i could grab and slide it out from any side. The ———- scabbards were made to copy the sword and slide out easily as well. The regular sword is also in a scabbard, but a regular one with straps to hold it.
The ———- are around two and a half feet or a Shikomizue Sword length. The great sword is around my height with the hilt above my head. If it was any longer it would drag on the ground, and that is not good. My regular sword or as the 1964 book from my world called The sword in the age of Chivalry called it, Type one.
As I leave I put my jacket on and cover my face using a bit of my shirt which I overlapped to cover my face. I had made it with extra neck length for this purpose, but my beard would get in the way. So on my exit I tuck it into my shirt so I don't have to cut it. I wonder what I look like now?
