There have been reports of children going missing and people getting stabbed in the streets according to Vi. Surrounding monsters and creatures are also getting more violent and a lot of hunters are getting hurt.
Did me coming to this Planet jinx the plance? I hope not.
I asked Vi if this happened before. While there are bandits and outlaws in the long roads, they usually can be avoided and fought away. She doesn't know why people are getting stabbed now randomly.
There are monsters in caves and in the deep forests, but they usually avoid humans as much as possible. But if you go to the deepest jungles and highest mountains, legend has it that there are great beasts and monsters living there. They are verified by the ancient scrolls that we have in the old ruined cities and temples.
With regards to the children, there is nothing I can do for now. I won't ask Vi to investigate as she might put her life in danger. I'm not sure if I reveal my identity to my parents. They might think I possessed their kid or something. It would be my last resort.
When I am able to properly speak, I will teach Vi how to tame animals like we did in Praxis and I would use my Telekinesis skill to communicate with the animals. I should be careful though in doing this, as Damons' minions might be around us and if they see anything out of place, they might make a move to capture me or hurt me.
I would need to establish a base underground or in a cave, as it is the most I am comfortable with. Out of sight, underground.
With the course of the following months, I get better at reading and speaking as well as writing. I speak in broken speech but at least I can communicate now with words instead of doing signs. I can now also right words. I would need to ask Vi to get some paper so I can give her instructions.
She told me pen and paper is very expensive and is only reserved for the rich kids.
In that case, we need to make money then. The gears in my head started moving as I think of ways to make money. I'm glad that I got transported here in Valis in a way. I'm in my elements. I could hunt evil people and monsters and make money doing so in the future.
I can't imagine being transported to something like Praxis before the 2nd world war. People fight with remote controlled drones, ai robots, hyper sonic missiles. The second world war was fought within a day. All of our advanced technological advancements that we created for 2 thousand years, gone in one day and no one even used a sword or raided towns or cities. What technology we have left are the first generation technologies, the primitive ones.
In some way, the survivors of the 2nd world war was lucky. We didn't have nukes, we didn't have super advance ai killer robots. What we got got left were the klunky humanoid AI's that will skin you alive but hey, at least they aren't the indestructible ones at high as building that shoots lasers, or with laser swords. Or those Huge Mega City Robots that houses hundreds of people, able to use Fold technology. They were cool to think about but if your their enemy, say your prayers. You'll be torn to bits and pieces by super fast flying drones called Fennels.
After reminiscing of the past, I remember the best ways to make money easily in Praxia, fishing, monster hunting and making primitive weapons.
I rub my hand in excitement. Time to get that precious coin.
