Chapter 18 - 18. The Village

"Do you really think that sounds cool!"

After naming Seya in the last chapter like it was a really feel good scene. In reality it wasn't. Seya was still on edge about the man he just first met and even tried to hit on her.

"Get away!"

"Let's go to your village."

Unlike what you would expect as a reply, Seya said. "Fine, I'll lead you to my village... stranger!"

Seya led Arthur to her village. The entire point was to kill Arthur of course. Seya was knowledgeable about all the things that were happening to her every time she was in another goblins range.

After travelling a few distance to finally go to the village once again.

But before the two went out of the forest to go the open plains around the village. Arthur made sure to instantly knock out Seya.

"I already knew what you are gonna do, and let us stop that. You will be called a bitch again, Seya..."

Arthur walked forward to the village. This time he didn't appear behind the village, but at the front. Walking straight into the entrances, alerting all the goblins and turning them all into high alert.

But none of the goblins dared to attack Arthur. From walking towards the village, Arthur was releasing killing intent to hold off the goblins to attack him or even move.

With the passive violence that was sent throughout the village, the chieftain aprouched Arthur alone.

"What could I do for you, dear visitor."

The chieftain was stuttering his words. But he was trying his best to keep a straight body and voice.

"I challenge you to a "Rule of Strength"."

The chieftain, was not stupid, he knew he would die immediately as soon as he accepted. But at the same time, even a rejection would kill him. He had no other choice, than to die.

When the chieftain slowly went back to his house and took his weapon, Arthur wasted no time.

"So you really were never hypnotized..."

After becoming the chieftain of the village with almost everyone around, Arthur suppressed his killing intent and released all the goblins of such pressure.

Now becoming the chieftain at such a fast pace once again, Arthur now went back to Seya to carry her back to the village.

...

By sensing the presence of all the goblins Arthur realized it seems like the time he made it to Darin is just the same as last time.

And looking at the mission board proved it by showing that it has once again, just been 2 days since he has arrived.

That simply meant one thing he wanted to know, the 12 goblins will appear later, close at night.

Arthur before doing anything about those 12 goblins, wanted to introduce axes to the goblins once again.

When Seya woke up, she was now obedient like how she would when she is in proxy with other goblins. With this he ordered Seya to gather all the goblins once again in front of the village.

"Today I will show all of you! As your new Chieftain, a way to gather wood!". The goblins were clearly confused about what they just heard. This entire time, their wood supplies have come from the kingdom, how could gathering wood even be possible.

"This, is an axe! You could use this as a way to cut down trees!". Arthur was so good at crafting axes he could make the axes while literally following behind Seya to the village.

Arthur demonstrated how to use an axe and cut down the first tree these goblins ever see fall. After cutting the tree down and teaching the goblins, Arthur gave the goblins the aces and ordered them to gather logs the entire day.

Now with the entire wood ordeal finished. Arthur can now leave the village and find the 12 goblins. Arthur wanted to kill these 12 goblins even before they could come back.

The other goblins would definitely not even care about the 12 not returning. So all is well.

It was easy to find the 12, just a little bit of finding them through Arthur's now incredible senses, Arthur could see them perfectly.

Arthur didn't even waste a conversation. Of course interrogating may be good for him, quite frankly he just didn't feel like doing any more of that shit.

The day passed on fast. With a huge pile of logs. Arthur started rebuilding the entire village. This time he didn't do it alone though. He wanted this entire thing to be the final time he has to reset from the very beginning. And personal connections are the best.

"You, and 12 others, gather the woods and make a new barrier around the entire open area till you hit the forest."

...

"The rest of you follow me, i'll teach all of you how to build houses.".

2 days went by like this. Arthur was finally finished in building the entire village.

"Well this looks much better than before.". Arthur was not refering to the original look of the village but the previous look of the village when it was on the last save that he was the only one who built the entire village except the outside gates.

Now the entire village was more properly organized. With the hall being in the very middle, the houses being on the edge and scattered even in the middle. With a few storage houses to the left from the entrance. And an actual very few farms in the right.

"I mean, I don't know what plants they are... I just planted them. Hehehe"

Now that everything was arranged properly all he had to do was wait for the royal messenger, and luckily it was the exact day the messenger arrived.

Once again, Arthur paid no interest on interrogations nor even spent time to talk to the messenger. He just killed him as soon as he came in. But of course if he was seen he would be attacked, but that was no problem.

With the new found and absolute power of Arthur, just staring at him was enough to even kill him.

"Damn, that is... satisfying. Well now wait for three days again... Now how to spend it? Well of course it's only one thing, with the female lead of course."

Arthur spent his next three days like he did last time. And that was to spend time with Seya.

However, Seya was not the same as before. Even if he calls Seya to go the beach together to get her far away from the goblins. Seya was definitely, maybe, still mad at him.

And as they got to the forest, this question was gonna be answered.

"Well, I have to commend you, congratulations."

"Well, that reply was unexpected."

"What? Did you think i'll still try to kill you, I will not even dare to do that, I saw you kill the royal messenger treating it as a heart attack."

"Well, it was interesting you knew, yet you didn't attack me."

"Well it was suicide. Now, why did you bring me here huh. Are you here to kill me too?"

"And why would I do that. I just wanted to talk to a maiden."

Arthur went behind Seya and carried her like a princess and instantly arrived at the shore.

"This is not how you treat a maiden! This is called harrassment! Let me go!"

"It's beautiful right?"

"What?! Me? Oh come on."

Arthur chuckled. "What? I'm talking about the ocean, don't think that everything is about you."

Seya was embarassed and defeated. She once again retaliated.

"Ahhh, shut up! Just let me go!"

"I'll let you go if you stay."

"Fine, where can I even go, you pervert."

"Ow." Arthur laid down Seya in a sitting position. Now the two sat on the sand staring at the ocean.

"Sorry for my aggressive approuch." Arthur calmed down and actually talked seriously that it creeped Seya more.

"What are you being so-" Seya was cut off by Arthur.

"I am awkward. I suck at talking to people, I suck."

...

"So sorry, all I really know is the show so much emotion so it was not awkward. I just didn't know what to do at our second meeting."

Arthur had no intention of ever hiding his ability. People knowing about it does not change anything. It's not like they can stop him from even going back, and if they kill him, he can just go back again.

And it was not like he wanted to do "hide your power bullshit". Only the weird characters do that. If you have the power, just show it you bitch.

"Second time meeting? It was the first..." Seya was confused. Now only was there not any sign of a lie from Arthur's words, all of it sounded so real, yet made no sense.

"I already met you, I don't know how to explain it, but I have."

"And how!"

"Cause I can go back in time."

"What!". Seya then paused for a moment. "Don't tell me... we were in a relationship!"

"Whoah, what is with you being so shocked."

"So we were!"

"No!"

"Thank you-! I mean..."

"Well we didn't know each other long enough to be like that."

"What?"

"I only came from less than a week from the future." That was technically a lie, but if he removes the time he spent away from the village then yes, it was correct.

"Wait then... why did you..."

"Cause... I like you, and as an awkward boy, I just wanted to experience love, ever since I was born I wanted to find the chance of 'her'"

...

"And now, she was in front of me."
