The crimson reddish hue of the sky was slowly starting to fade as if the sky was a red canvas, and a painter was leisurely applying a fan brush dipped in light grey color on the red canvas without any specific theme in mind .
Evening was slowly approaching on the Black Earth as a harbinger of night .
Kei woke up from his slumber .
He had reached his (Kaiser's) home at about noon. It was a medium sized reed house ,similar to the other houses in the village, with two bedrooms , one small hall and one washroom partitioned with columns woven from bundled reeds .
The hall had a hearth placed in the center where Kei had cooked some leftover meat after taking a bath .
His house was located at the farthest corner of Redweed village , the soil here was more saturated due to being close to the marshland . The reeds of his house soaked water from the soil thus making the atmosphere inside the house moisty and cold .
The fire ignited on the hearth for cooking meat spread warmth and Kei had fallen asleep beside it .
It was his first sleep in this transmigrated world , so when he woke up , he was slight bewildered at finding himself there . But soon he recollected himself and got to work .
He took out all items he had brought to make a proper list of his inventory .
There was a saying in his mother language and by following it to the letter ,Kei had been able to save his lives many times when he was an active Yakuza member in his previous life .
"Ichinen no kei wa gantan ni ari" (Preparation and planning are the foundations of success)
Kei smiled as he saw the amount of currency he possessed now.
He had conned the third merchant shop by selling them items ,worth of 11 sigloi, which he acquired by posing as Markus of House Tsakani from the second shop. He had used 6 sigloi in buying weapon parts and still had remaining 5 sigloi amounting to 50, 000 droqdo . (1 sigloi =10,000 droqdo)
Kei had kept items worth of 4 sigloi in his possession as he needed these utility items .
He had bought oval shaped (large dimensional storage) bone beads of varying colors for storing different types of items and a black bracelet with small oval indents on its surface .
Kei placed the oval beads in the indented portions of the bracelet, and they were a custom fit . He then cut his fingertip with his sharp teeth and placed a drop of blood on the bracelet thus binding it to him by blood .
He could now mentally see the items in any bead he chose and they would appear as soon as he chose any .
The beads and the bracelet were worth 1 sigloi but they were worth it . He wore the bracelet and made an inventory check of the other items stored inside them .
There were four sets of combat apparels ,four sets of domestic garbs and two set of arm gloves in the apparel bead which he got from conning Saana . Kei was currently wearing one set of inexpensive looking garb.
In another bead ,there were handmade detailed maps of the Cruentus Rainforest, the jagged mountain range, capital city of Vitium and the Black Bowels . There were also some booklets , made from beast skin, on the different training temples and of other creatures found on the Black Earth .
Kei skimmed over them and found that he could remember almost everything he read in detail . Somehow his brain's cognitive senses had heightened .
Kei then inventoried another bead where several pills were placed . They were mostly healing pills of Tier 4 which healed superficial injuries , some Tier 5 healing pills to heal broken bones and moderate internal injuries and a few dye pills which allowed one to change their hair color . These pills altogether were worth of 20,000 droqdo (2 sigloi).
Kei checked another bead where he had placed a medium sized tool kit .
The tools inside were different looking than the ones seen on earth but served the same purpose .
There were a set of screwdrivers made of jade stone , a slender long folded beast skin with markings on it used as measuring tape , a small stone hammer , some wood and metal molded alloy bended for use as pliers and wrench , a set of small sockets made of an unknown metal ,a small jade saw and some other items. The tool kit along with the maps and booklets costed him 1 sigloi
Kei was fond of tinkering ; it was one of his hobbies in his past life . He now planned to put this hobby of his to use to build himself a weapon .
