The west border of Jinx was a place for medical plant.
A sea of plant that just rest stagnant on their own rooted land.
After learning I possess abilities back on my prime days, like a child filled with enthusiasm, I run out into the greenery of the mountain and decided to pluck each medical plants I could see.
Everytime I played outdoor, I would stumble something as precious as gems.
I would study it indoors and see the end of its properties, that is how I learned the art of medicine that later followed by the art of Poison and healing.
I'm always delighted every time I discover new things.
I would always run back, banging the door just to brag to mom about my discoveries.
She would always complement me with a path on my head.
She would always stay late with me and lead me to do the right way of extracting the properties of the plant, the way to use my energy, and how to condense it to fight.
She was the sole reason why I got to learn alchemy and also improved my arcane ability.
Those days were filled with peace, but time changed, and I know I won't be able to bring it back, anymore.
I can't just use Necromancy just to bring the soul of my love one.
I wouldn't want that!
She live happily, she choose to be one. So the choice she make when she sacrifice her power and life was because of love.
So, just because I love her, that wouldn't mean I should shackle her.
Life may be short for others, but they should also know that once life ended, it should remain as the end.
So this Necromancy she had given me, I might not be able to use it till the end.
That is just a thought.
As a professional support in the art of healing and plant control, it has long rooted on my blood to help others.
But the thing is, the blood of a professional support didn't travel back to this world.
Instead, my body remain on earth, only the soul leave its vessel just to live back what has been lost.
Yet, if I had a chance to change what has been done, I would surely do so.
"This medical plant could last me a worth of three months. Its been a happy time plucking them, birl"
[ Acquired, Medical Plant - 102,114 ]
|| Congratulation master for plucking every piece of medical plant on the west border of Jinx. ||
"Wait, every piece? You mean I didn't even left a piece of medical plant for reproduction syatem?"
|| Master's magnanimous self has change into a gluttonous scavenger. ||
[ Trait has been unlocked!
Acquired Trait: Gluttonous Scavenger_low ]
"Not only did I kill the race of plants in west border land, but I even got a trait? Crazy!"
[ For successfully removing the roots of plants in the west border, the system has given a gift of appreciation. ]
[ Would you like to receive?
Yes/No ]
"Yes."
What is done is done. I just need to be careful again next time.
[ Acquired: Martial Robe_x2 ]
|| Congratulation on acquiring two piece of martial robe, master~ Nile is very delighted~ ||
"Thank you, and this robe quality is just right for a change."
With a blink of a light, my cloth changes.
A robe made from silk fabric, cut with precision, and tied by the webstring of arachnid.
This robe quality is at its highest quality, more so the combination of red and black.
It even has a function to fit on the wearer size, this...
I fucking love this!
"Right, didn't I collect more than thousands of potions, artifacts, herbs, clothes and raw materials back on earth? Nile, show me my infinite box, I'm sure it was filled with my richness that came from my sweat and blood."
|| That... how about you do it for another time, master? ||
"No need to waste more time, I need to organize the things that can be sell and not. I need to change this poor life."
|| Okay, ||
Taking those into accounts, the screen glitch and it opened into an infinite space.
[ CURRENT POSSESSION:
Emblem - 1
Medical Plant - 102,114
Clothes - 2 (martial robe-1, necroblack-1) ]
However, the anticipated materials that would have been deemed to change this poor life was none to be seen.
How will I live a life of nouveau riche if I don't even possess a penny?
I look at Nile with a cold eyes.
"Mind to explain this?"
|| Master... that, Nile did what he had to. But because master's travel was so sudden, Nile forgot to bring master's things along. ||
The truth was, Nile has a habit of counting my properties back in a made up space, in my house.
Even though infinite has a personalized spaced,
[ Infinite(a double, intertwine-shaped box) - an infinite range of space. One can see what they have placed inside in an organized and detailed manner. One can also perform activities inside the space, like a personalized place made solely for them without the heed to comply with time. ]
[ Access: unlimited ]
He just love to fuck things up.
Sigh, can't even blame someone who has been taking care of me.
|| Master, please don't hate Nile for forgetting your belongings. Nile will make sure not to do his habits in this world. Nile promise that. ||
"You better not." As I shot him a smile.
|| eekk! Master is scary when he smile. ||
This guy was already forgiven, but should I have not done that?
But, before I forgot something again, I better look at the other panel choices.
[ Map(a location tag) - every place the hosts wanted to go can be marked and seen here. It contains detailed map that can be explored and even the unexplored land can be described. ]
[ Access: unlimited. ]
"Hmm,"
[ Hiatus(a stop sign) new! - The idea of turning, stopping, and proceeding time can be done. ]
[ Access: limited once a year. ]
I stop and stare at the description provided on the last choice.
Hiatus,
Something I never had in my system, yet now I'm seeing.
With its powerful description, perhaps I can change my mother's death.
"Nile, tell me how to use this hiatus!"
|| Well, master can try clicking it and see how it show. ||
Upon clicking with curiosity, it suggested.
[ The hiatus panel has been access, would you like to use hiatus for the first time? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Without further ado, I press the yes bottom and it shows another choices with suggestions.
[ please choose below! ]
[ Returning / Stopping / proceeding ]
"Go for returning."
[ Please provide an exact time of returning ]
"Wait, how do you use this? There aren't any options."
|| Master can just think of the time master wanted to go back to. ||
"But how much time have it been since I awoken?"
|| Counting on master's return, it was at the exact number of an hour and a thirty minutes. ||
"Only that much? Didn't you say I pluck every piece of medical plant in these area? How much fanatic did I become to pluck a hundred thousand piece of medical plant with only minimal time?
|| According to the data, master fanatic behaviour are still in the process of understan. Which means, master fanatic behaviour can't be measured just by only witnessing it once. For now, master fanatic behaviour are categorized by low level, as continuous use of this behaviour will also increase. But, would master still like to measure his fanatic thinking just to make sure the variables given by the system are correct? ||
"No need, I just got curious. Anyway, I should finish this."
I began to think,
An hour and thirty minutes... an hour and thirty minutes... an hour and thirty minutes...
And when I opened my eyes again, I'm back to when I awoken.
A system notice began to stumble infront.
[ Reminder: you have use the first time draw that are deem as a free draw. You are left with only a single return. Please note that every unused hiatus points every single year will be deemed as added. ]
A single return?
Does that mean I can return again for a single time?
And if the unused hiatus will be added, it means I will have five hiatus points if I do not use it for five years.
Cool!
[NOTE: used belongings and other variable that was on the property of the host will remain with them as a copy even with the use of Hiatus.]
If so, I wouldn't need to worry about the medical plants I pluck.
This is getting more interesting!
The door creak open and an expected woman walk in.
Every move and every step she take, my heart would beat like a drum.
I am now seeing her alive again with my own eyes.
I couldn't believe the day I would shed tears for the second time since I awoken wasn't mourning, but a happy tears that can't be measured by anything.
"Its seems you survive." Slowly as she look into my eyes, she frowned. "But why the change of clothes and tears when waking up?"
She sitted beside me, placing the white cloth beside her, as she sigh.
"You have already grown, and can be said to be a real man now. Couldn't you even try to stop those tears even for a second?"
I thought these harsh words you sometimes spoke was to reprimand my inability to do physical labour, but now I knew, they aren't to reprimand me but it was to prepare me for a lifetime departure.
I wipe these tears and look directly in her eyes.
"Why didn't you say you were sick?"
Then mother stiffen from my words, unable to utter even a single word.
"Ain't I your child? Why would you hide that concerning situation to me? For what?"
Her eyes represent the time that has been stop, and her silence already gave what I wanted to find.
You doesn't want me to worry.
You doesn't want me to involved myself in problems of olds.
"But mother, can't you trust me?"
Startled by my words, mother try to reason.
"B-birl, that wasn't what I -"
"Its okay mom, I know. And I know how to solve your problem."
Buffled by the words, mother tilt her head and there, I cast the healing skill.
A green light began to lift her amidst the air, while she try to ask in a buffled manner,
"Wait birl, what is the meaning of this? Tell me what you mean just now?"
Given how much retaliation she do, with her already weak body, the effect of my skill quickened as she began to feel warm that led her to fall deep.
"Just rest, let your child handle this problem."
Using a level 5 healing magic and adding a bit of enchantment to let mother fall asleep was not a bad idea as it seems effective.
"Now the problem is, what sickness does she got!"
Thump!
