In The Kingdom of Melromarc

(3rd POV)

The sounds of cheering and talking could be heard through the castle. The king was throwing a feast to the heroes for fending off the wave.

However one party goer was not having any fun. He actually thought it was a complete waste of time. He was right after all. The entire party was a waste of time.

He sighed as he looked out the window in annoyance. Seemingly lost in his own head.

Raphtalia: Mr. Naofumi?! Mr. Naofumi?!

Naofumi: Hmmm

Raphtalia: I know you don't want to be here, but please at least each something. The food is really good

Naofumi: Why should I? This whole thing is pointless. This is just an excuse to pig out!

Naofumi got up from his spot by the window and started marching his way to the stairs. He was fed up with the noisiness of the room.

Raphtalia: B-But...

Naofumi: Stay if you want I don't care, I'm out of here!

As he made it half way down the stairs he heard screaming behind him. He quickly turned to see Raphtalia being held by two guards and his least favorite person other then a certain red haired bitch, walking towards him.

Naofumi: Let her go! What do you think you are doing!

Motoyasu: Release her at once! You have no right to have a slave!

Naofumi: Shut up already!

Motoyasu: You and Y/n are both despicable!

Motoyasu took off his glove and threw it at Naofumi. Everyone in the room knew what that meant and things quickly got heated.

Back with Y/n

(3rd POV)

Y/n: Girls have you found anything?

Fu: I'm s-sorry master I c-couldn't find anything

Yu: I think I saw a village not to far from here Master!

Y/n patted both girls on the head. Fu dried her tears after seeing that Y/n was not mad or disappointed. Yu gladly smiled at the head pats and praise.

Y/n: Good work. Think you can lead the way?

Yu: You bet!

The trio started making their way through the forest. They had been in it for hours now, but with the wave done, and Y/n's resurrected creatures all around there was very few monsters around.

With the help of his Undead Eye skill, traversing the darken forest was easy. Once they got to the edge of the forest, Y/n decided to stop and rest.

Y/n: Let's rest here girls. No point in wearing ourselves out

He looked out at the vast land in front of him. All of this untamed land, all the undisturbed wildlife. He had realized once again that he really was in a different world.

It didn't take long for him to set up camp. The sun was completely gone now and the start sky had appeared. Y/n looked over at the girls. They were both sound asleep next to each other.

(Y/n's POV)

Y/n: I wonder how Mom is doing... She is probably worried sick...

I looked out at the world around him. I still had so much to learn about it, so much to discover and explore.

Y/n: I wish that book Dad gave me had more information in it. It was all practically gone. Figuring this stuff out on my own is tedious

I sighed as I laid down on my bedroll. I looked through my skills passively. Nothing new came to mind when thinking about them. With so much potential it was hard to think up of skills and how I can unlock them.

What I needed was information, but not a lot of people actually liked me thanks to the king. That fucking bastard.

Plus it's not like they can really give in info on how the other classes work in general. I would have to talk to Naofumi for his Shield class at least. My Grandpa might be able to give me some knowledge, but that's not enough.

Even with information that won't mean I'm strong enough though. Improving my strength is also important, so I would still need to do lots of grinding. Especially since I don't know where I stand in terms of power-scaling.

I'll focus on my own strength, as well as the strength of Fu and Yu. I got to live long enough to get the information I want after all. Armor is gonna be important for the girls too. I need them to get 100% resistance against Decay, so I can use any skill with it all I want.

The village isn't to far. I can see the lights just over the hill not to far from us. We should definitely get there not long after we start moving tomorrow. Let's hope someone who doesn't hate me is there.

Timeskip

(3rd POV)

As Y/n said, it did not take long for them to arrive at the village. As they approached the entrance to the village they were stopped by two guards, who aimed their weapons at them.

Guard 1: Halt!

Guard 2: State your business!

The girls were quick to drawing their weapons, but Y/n raised his hand signaling for them to stop.

Y/n: We are just passing through, hoping to pick up some supplies while we are here

Guard 1: Sorry we can't let you in

Y/n: Why not?

Guard 1: To many things have happened to this village. Unless you know someone from here we can't let you in

Y/n: Come on can't you make an exception?

Guard 2: No!

Old Man: It's ok guys, I know the kid

An older man says as he walks out of the village. He smiled at you before wave for you to come. As Y/n follows him, the guards watch him like a hawk.

Even if the man claimed to know him, they still were suspicious of him.

Old Man: So what brings you here?

Y/n: I'm hoping to get some info on something

The old man lead Y/n to his home. He invited him inside and seeing no reason not to, Y/n accepted. The man's personality changed quite fast as soon as they sat down.

Old Man: I know who you are Y/n. Don't worry I was very fond of your father. I actually made that armor that you are wearing

Y/n: Really!? Then you must have info about my clan

Old Man: I do, but first tell me how much you know

Y/n: Honestly pretty much nothing. All I know is the kingdom of Melromarc destroy the clan because they feared its power

Old Man: Yes that is what happened, but it was not entirely the kingdom. The man who is king of it was the one fearful of it, no one else had problems with it, until he had spread lies to slander the clans name

Y/n: Please tell me everything you know

The old man smiled at Y/n. He got up and brought some tea for them to drink while he began his tale of the clan. One about the day it was destroyed.
