Xavier's POV
It's been 7 years since I was reincarnated in this Village. Fortunately the Villagers also named me Xavier just as my previous life was. But in this world currently I'm living. Those people outside of the Kingdoms don't have Surname's and other non-nobles don't have to. The only difference about my apprarance is I have a blue aqua eyes matched with a golden silky hair.
Surprisingly the village is quite peaceful. The villagers also noticed that though they can't explain after I came to the village. They just shrugged it off and didn't pay attention to it that much.
"Xav, It's time to hunt!" A familiar voice can be heard outside our cabin.
"Coming Brother Alfred!" I responded as i packed all the necesarry things including shortswords and potions. Alfred has been my hunting buddy ever since I was 5. He was tasked to do that by the Village chief.
When I was still 3 they really needed to pay attention to me every single step that I make. To be cautious of course, I blow up our old cabin as a result for trying to force refined mana in my body. I just laughed it out everytime I remember about it.
We are about to hunt boars and rabbits as they're the animals that commonly visit the forest near the village. Until…
"Wait Xavi..Stop on your tracks." Alfred gestured to me to stop and I obeyed it immediately. I gulped as I stared at the site of a decaying rabbit and boar corpses. I covered my nose as it smells very strong.
"Brother Alfred! What exactly happened?" I asked as I was confused. As we examined the body parts of the decaying body's of the wild animals. I've noticed that it was actually rotting just a few hours ago, not that long and their Insides were taken.
"It's most likely, a Poison Goblin. But poison goblin doesn't visit this mountain range. How in the world…" Alfred was about to finish his sentence when someone tried to ambush us at our back. Both Alfred and I jumped to dodge the arrows. Tsk! The arrows was field with poisons.
"There they are." Alfred scoffed as he looked up on the trees of the Forest. Beneath the brances there lies a bunch of Poison Goblins wielding their sword swords, bows and arrows laughing at us. I was pissed off, I started to clench hardly of the hilt of my sword. and muttered some incantation as my body was enveloped with gradient white and blue lights. And ready my stance.
"Accelarate!" I exclaimed.
I rushed and jump through the branches of the trees instantly didn't let the Poison Goblins react as they were about to defend.
"Its futile! Horizontal Slash!" I shouted as my sword was filled with a light red sword qi and just swung my sword horizontal to the Poison Goblins. I continued that routine as I finished my site and return to where Alfred was.
"Did you finish your side Brother Alfred?"
"Of course, Easy peasy!" He exclaimed with a big smile gesturing thumbs up to me. I just smiled at his silly gestures and sheated my sword.
"Honestly though, I'm always surprise on how you can use magic and sword that easily." Alfred said and I just answered him with a shrug on my shoulder.
"That to be said, I just noticed it while fighting the goblins in my side. I noticed that they have a weird looking logo." He continued his sentence as I tried to look at the corpse of the Poison Goblin's once again. I took a look at the Goblin's nape when I almost choked on what I see and immediately remembered.
'We will return' the demon king's voice echoed to my ear once again.
I gently touched my chest and breathed heavily. I softly tried to massage my chest. 'So he really is coming back huh, Diablo!' I thought to my self.
"Are you okay Xavi? Lets get back to the Village!" Alfred said. I just nodded in response as I fixed my outfit and used cleaning magic before rushing to Alfreds side going home to the village.
As we got back to the Village the other people we're already setting up trying to cook a feast for the night. But eating around isn't the thing right now. I must get ready until, I'm stronger. Stronger than before, so I can protect the people that I have now.
"Uncle! I'll be training in my room. Please don't let anyone disturb me." I said and got inside my my Cabin.
"What about dinner?!"
"I don't need one tonight!"
This isn't a time for a feast or something. Anytime sooner, The Demon King Diablo can comeback anytime. I must get ready for the impact. As soon as i got inside I immediately started to meditated. Warm heat started to rise up my body as a golden light started to envelope my body.
My breathing started to get stable. I'm currently doing the basics of all basic. Mana Manipulation. This world has Mana and Ki the same goes from my past life so it became easy for me to adapt the lifestyle here.
Mana Manipulation from the skill word of it, you're manipulating your mana by drastically increasing it slowly. Although it has it's own cons. Its the most efficient way of increasing your Mana Circle. Although by training your imagination and creativity in your skills it's very inefficient unless it's real life battles compared to Mana Manipulation. Back in the days only a few uses it.
Mana Circle's are for the Mages. While Ki is for Aura/Sword Users. While Ki is circulating around your body especially in your diaphragm. Magic circles are stored in your heart.
I need to get into 2 Circles before I'll be 10 years old and embark on a new journey. So I can be at ease for the mean time..
