Exiting the cottage, Damon was met with the view of a forest. The cottage was nestled among branches of tall trees making it hard for the cottage to be seen.
"Well, this will make a good hideout and small house." Damon commented as he let the ladder that was in the house down then he slowly climbed down the tree.
When Damon had reached the ground, he hid the ladder behind some of the trees and marked the spot and he also marked the spot where the cottage nestled.
"Now, how do I find my way to the village?" Damon asked out loud and his system screen appeared in front of him.
And then, a map appeared in front of his face with his position showing as a red dot. Testing it, Damon moved to the right and red dot also moved to the right.
"Okay that's nice, let's find our way to the village now."
The village was marked with an X on the map so Damon slowly walked out of the forest making his way to the village.
'I wonder why the previous owner of this body tried to commit suicide.' Damon thought as he found the situation quite strange.
'Was he in debt? Or was it something else?' Damon sighed.
"I can't bother myself with that mystery now, I need to focus on getting stronger so I can pay that man back." Damon said as he finally exited the forest and saw a straight road that led ahead.
Looking at his system, the arrow was pointing down the long road so he took it and was making his way to the village quite slowly.
After a few minutes of walking, Damon had now reached the entrance of the village. He was about to step into the iron gate when two men stopped him.
"Who are you? What are you looking for here? Where are you coming from?" One of the man asked as Damon slowly turned around.
"Oh Kyle, it's you." The man said.
'Kyle? Is that this body's owner's name? It's best if I just play along but I don't know them, what if I screw up.' Damon thought.
{Just repeat after me.} The system said after seeing Damon panic.
"Oh hi Berg, how are you doing?" Damon said with a smile on his face.
"I'm doing good." Berg smiled.
Berg was a man who was quite hefty with a heavy build and a bald head. He held a spear in his hands looking at Damon with a smile on his face.
If it wasn't for the fact that Berg was familiar to the owner's body, Damon would have been intimidated because of the man's tall height and build.
"I thought you said that you won't be coming back for a while?" Berg asked.
"I initially planned not to, but there has been a change of plan. I'm here to get some things." Damon replied.
And that was when Damon's stomach growled loudly again.
"Oh, you are hungry?" Berg asked.
Damon didn't reply as he was quite embarrassed by the noise his stomach made.
"Don't worry, here." Berg stretched his hand after dipping it inside his pocket and handed Damon two bronze coins.
"Go get yourself something to eat."
"Thank you so much." Damon smiled as he collected the coins. "I promise to repay you back."
"It's okay, it's actually nothing." Berg said.
"Alright then, come on in." Berg smiled as he pushed open the gate to let Damon in.
Damon walked into the village exiting the gate with a thought on his mind.
"Hey system, how did you know his name?" Damon asked.
{It's a secret.}
"Why can't you tell me?"
{I will only tell you when you have gotten to a certain level. For now, go get yourself something to eat and try and grow strong.}
Damon just sighed in resignation and was making his way to the village which seemed to be a ten minutes walk from the gate.
"I wonder why that man called Berg was so kind to me." Damon mumbled.
"Did the owner of this body help him in any way or something?"
Damon wasn't used to being treated with so much kindness. After all, all his life on Earth, he was treated as an outcast.
When he was born, his father ran away from his family and he didn't keep contact with them for so many years. Then when he was 15, his mom died.
Leaving him to fend for himself. Damon struggled on his own to work and pay his fees till he got to college. All his life, he wasn't treated as a human.
Damon studied robotics engineering. And that was what earned him a job at Cliffson's industries; a prestigious company that made majority of what Earth used.
Ranging from; techs, vehicles, electronics and some robots here and there. There, he was paid handsomely for his works.
Damon was dedicated to his job and he was liked by some of his colleagues especially Chris as he always contributed majorly to the company with ideas or inventions.
His life was going quite smoothly, he got himself a house, a car and some other things. Things he didn't have as a kid.
His life was almost perfect except for one thing and which is love. Every other thing was okay not until he was murdered by a mysteriously powerful man.
And he got reincarnated into a village of all things and in the body of someone that had committed suicide along with a system which he didn't know its use for now.
Pulling him from his thoughts, was the sight of the village. Damon was surprised because the system had been wrong in calling this place a village for it was more like a town.
The town was bustling with people left and right, there were different stalls stationed on almost every corner with them selling all manner of things ranging from weapons, accessories, foodstuffs and other equipment.
Looking at the people, Damon was confused because he could see almost every one of them each with a weapon.
Still confused by what was going on, the next second, chaos ensued with everyone running about and some of the stall owners closing their shops with a face that looked like this was a daily occurence.
Still confused about everything that was happening, Damon could see an animal ravaging in the middle of the streets. But Damon was wrong in assuming this was an ordinary animal.
{Warning: A beast is currently ravaging through the streets. The user needs to get out of there now because the user isn't strong enough to face it.}
