When I woke up, Uncle Esad had already gone to work. Even Züleyha woke up. When my brother saw me waking up, we immediately prepared some food and fed ourselves together. If we were experiencing a normal mistake, we would go out and walk around for these 2 days, but in slave life we could only walk around within the designated area.
So I spent most of the day lying at home and resting.
In the evening, Uncle Esad came home. After eating together:
-How are you feeling, Aktan?
-I'm better, uncle, I won't have anything left until I go to the palace.
-okay then.
The conversation didn't last very long. For some reason, something suddenly came to my mind.
-REVIEW!
-
AD: Assad
TYPE: HUMAN
HEALTH: 14
MANA:3
GENERAL SITUATION: AMONG THE MIXED EMOTIONS, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS BOTHERING YOU.
-
After seeing this:
-Uncle Assad
I called out. But then I stopped saying anything. If he wanted to share it with us, he would have told us by now.
-Sir Aktan.
-Good night, uncle Assad. Thank you for everything.
- Good night to you too , Aktan.
He said and left quietly. I lay down next to Züleyha. And I started to think, "I wonder what's bothering you?"
With these Thoughts I fell asleep and threw myself into the world. It was already morning.
In the morning the routine continues as usual. By the time I said change my clothes and have breakfast, I was already on my way to school.
While traveling on the road, I was improving my "EXAMINATION" skill. I was examining everything: stones on the ground, cars, bicycles, traffic lights, cats, dogs, ants, birds, etc. I mean anything you can think of.
I didn't gain a bonus stat when examining inanimate objects that caught my attention. But when examining living creatures, I gained +1 soul stat for each species . For example, among the birds, it was +1 for storks and +1 for swallows . Even if I examined a different stork, I did not gain any extra stats. But I was examining them all indiscriminately.
By the time he went to school, "REVIEW" had already reached Lv 13. Even three levels were important to me. But having to constantly examine like crazy got tiring after a while. I wonder if the same command would be valid if I just thought about it ? And I tried it thinking, what do I have to lose?
-
YOU HAVE DISCOVERED A SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE.
FROM NOW ON, JUST THINK ABOUT THE NAMES OF YOUR TALENT. NO VOICE COMMAND NEEDED.
-
Here's the notification I've been waiting for. Everything is easier now.
School always went by in the same routine. We had already entered the last lesson. But I couldn't use " REVIEW" on people. It seemed to me like he was disregarding privacy. Especially on my friends. I tried it on teachers, but just to try it out. Frankly, I came across very interesting things.
Some of them were thinking, "I wish I would go after school is over," some, "I wish I wasn't a teacher," some, "I'm eager to teach," and some, "He wants to make love with his wife when he goes home in the evening." Isn't it normal that after seeing these, I don't want to look at my teenage friends' ?!
These 6 different teachers took our class and I examined them all, so I gained +6 soul stat . Apparently examining humans gives +1 stat for each.
I could easily round it up to thousands if I didn't count it as a violation of privacy, but it doesn't seem necessary right now. I've already trained a lot of stats today, and now my soul stat is +27.
And the school end bell rings. As always, Asaf and I headed home.
During the weekdays, everything went on routinely, both on Earth and on Gaia. Days passed like this and I closed my eyes to wake up in Gaia again .
When I opened my eyes, the sun was just rising and Uncle Esad was already awake and sitting pensively. When he saw me coming in, he took a deep breath and said:
-Come Aktan, I want to talk to you about an issue.
I think he was going to talk about the issue that was bothering him now.
-I'm listening, uncle.
-I am very happy that you entered the palace, but I am also afraid.
-There is nothing to be afraid of, uncle. I will be the servant of His Excellency Ebrehe , so no one else can interfere with me.
-My fear is not for you anyway, Aktan. For Züleyha .!!
After taking a deep breath, he continued.
- Hazrat Ebrehe has bad habits. One of them is that he is curious about little girls. This is what scares me.
I suddenly felt like I had been shot in the brain. He was right, I saw the inside of the palace, the nobles were using the slaves for everything like rags. This includes quenching your carnal desires .
-Aktan, should you leave him here ? Okay, conditions are not good, but at least there is no one to look after him.
My uncle was talking sense, but I might never see my brother again. This is an impossible situation, what should I do? Finally I had to make a painful decision.
-Then Züleyha is in your care, uncle. Rest assured, together with them, I will find a way to get all of you to the palace.
-You made the right decision, son.
REVIEW (I thought)
-
AD: Assad
TYPE: HUMAN
HEALTH: 14
MANA:3
GENERAL CONDITION: JOY, RELAXED,
-
So this is the issue that has been bothering you for days. I really owe a lot to Uncle Assad. He loved us like his own children.
While we were talking about these, Züleyha woke up and came.
I confronted my brother and told him what happened. At first the room started crying. But when we talked a little more, he understood what we meant.
-Don't forget me, brother. Come see your little brother at the first opportunity.
-How could I forget you, my stupid brother. You are my only family.
After hugging each other tightly as if it was the last time, we parted and I headed to the palace.
When I reached the huge gates of the palace, a soldier immediately blocked my way.
-Wait, where are you going, slave?
- His Holiness Ebrehe took me to the palace as his personal servant.
After the soldier looked me from head to toe:
-So you are the Aktan we heard rumors about.
From there he called out to another soldier and called him over.
this to the chief steward Hezar .
-If you order, sir.
And I started to follow the soldier walking in front of me. This time, we were walking around the palace rather than directly through it. But it was still better outside than where our slaves stood. There was greenery everywhere and a stream surrounding the palace. After walking for a while, we passed through a few more rooms and arrived at the Head Butler's.
-I brought this slave to you, Chief Butler.
-Well, what is this slave doing here?
Ebrehe had taken with him in the last square .
Hearing these, chief steward Hezar's eyes opened with curiosity.
-So it's you, huh ..
He examines me from head to toe with his eyes. He was grumbling to himself.
- Okay , you can go, soldier.
The soldier had already turned around and walked away.
a lucky bastard, aren't you? It is not easy to be the king's servant from the bottom up.
After examining me a little more.
-First of all, we need to cut that hair a little, then you need to wash well and dress like a king's servant. Come on, follow me.
First, I went to the barber and had my hair cut. Normally my hair would reach my shoulders, but now it's at my ear level.
Then he brought me to a room with 4 beds.
-This is the room where the king's other servants are. There is a bathroom inside, first wash yourself well and put on the clothes on the bed. Let's hurry up a bit.
He said and left the room. When I looked at the clothes, there was a white linen shirt and a dress with a bottom half like trousers. I had a red and black belt style wrap to tie around my waist .
There was a door inside the room, and inside was a toilet and a constantly running fountain.
Even though I was clean, I washed and dressed. There was a mirror on the wall. It was the first mirror I saw in this world. After looking at myself, I was convinced that everything was okay.
Although I waited in the room for a while, the Head Butler had not arrived yet. I left the room in case I remembered the way I came and started looking for the head steward.
While wandering around, I was again impressed by the magnificence of the palace. It was like I was wandering around a mystical city. I was walking like I knew the way, but I knew I was already lost.
I was passing by a large hall with no doors and inside there were many books lined up on shelves. It was the first time I saw writing on Gaia and I realized I couldn't read or write. I reluctantly approached the books. And I thought, check it out.
-
NAME: MEDICINAL HERBS
DESCRIPTION: A BOOK WITH INFORMATION ABOUT MEDICINAL HERBS
-
At least I could understand what he was talking about. After looking around a little more, there were thousands of different books, but I couldn't read any of them. I realized that I was lingering too long and headed towards the door.
Just as I was about to walk out the door, I suddenly felt like I hit a wall and fell to the ground. I put my head to the curb and the soldier in his golden armor who took me out last time was standing over me.
-Look in front of you, miserable maid.
He said and grabbed his sword. For some reason, this man immediately grabbed his sword every time he saw me.
I was just about to stand up to apologize. A voice as thin as silk:
-What happened to Herekla ?
He appeared in front of the soldiers.
