Getting off the ground, Elric dusted his body looking at the somewhat unusual crystal on the ground. Upon further inspection, he realized there seemed to be a giant corpse beneath it. taking a deep breath he turned and shouted.

"hey, George come over here!" George who was getting ready for his nap was rather annoyed by the sudden call.

"what is it Elric aren't you the one that said we need to sleep?" dragging his feet he mumbled

"just keep quiet and look, what is that?" Elric pointed at the glowing crystal curiously. "It seemed to be produced naturally be the creature's death!"

As he reached out to touch it he suddenly remembered something.

Following the habits of his past life, Elric immediately said: "A.I. Chip! Scan this crystal and analyze its components!"

[Beep! Task Established! Begin Scan!]

[Discovered unknown components. Starting simulated experiments!]

[Experiments complete! The crystal has a slight chance of strengthening the human body other functions are currently unknown]

"?!" Looking at the results of the experiment, Elric was stunned. "he wasn't expecting it to still have a role on the human body."

"Hey Elric!, what are you mumbling about?" hearing the sudden voice in his ear he realized his bad habit seems to have taken over again.

"It's nothing, George by the way what is that?" pointing over to the Crystal on the ground.

However, he soon had the feeling of being a fool because he had just seen it somewhere.  "never mind George let's talk in the morning". Although confused George didn't argue he just left

"It seems the young master is going crazy, I should keep an eye on him," mumbling George went to sleep

"You crazy! your whole family is crazy!" complained Elric as he twitched his mouth

Looking at the crystal on the ground he seemed to have seen it in the book just now. "A.I. Chip! Scan this book and record its contents!"

[Task Established! Begin Scan!]

[Discovered unknown radiation on the surface of the book]

[Increased time to complete procedure]

[10%.....15%.....20%]

"well at least it doesn't seem so slow" with that said he continued to study the crystal as he awaited the count down.

"However, according to the current situation, it seems that the certainty that whatever this beast was, after its death, it produced some radiation and formed this crystal-like substance" feeling to have discovered something important a certain feeling of excitement flushed through Elric's' body.

Calming his breath as various thoughts went through his head, he once again touched the book with a faint look of expectation for the future.

The book was dark red and worn out seemingly made from the skins of another unknown beast. With a crude drawing of a sword slashing the stars. the interior pages however did not seem to be from something he could recognize.

"With the current technological advancements of primitives, it is impossible to create paper. It seems there are still many things to be discovered in this world"

Elric muttered to himself, suddenly a familiar ring sounded

[Task finished! Scan results complete!]

[Data base updated! should the knowledge be transferred to the main brain?]

"Finally it's done" Elric breathed a sigh of relief. But after he heard the A. I's second prompt his face became dignified. It was not his first time transferring knowledge directly to his brain he still had to ask as a precaution given to humans back on the blue star by the federation. "A.I. Chip! what would happen if all knowledge is transferred to my brain directly"

[Simulating results! Simulation complete!]

[The host has a 99% chance to get Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)]

"As I'd thought! back then when the chips were first released a lot of people wanted to d******d a lot of knowledge into their heads however, this led to the degeneration of motor neurons in the brain interfering with messages to muscles in the body due to the sudden influx of knowledge and stress on the brain. It was like everyone was turned into a Stephen Hawking duplicate!" Elric sighed thankfully he was still cautious, unlike other travelers who after transmigration feel they are the protagonist.

"However if I increase my strength I should be able to withhold more knowledge. This body of mine is truly too weak! It cannot even compare to those of the same age. That will not do."

"If it were my past life, I could still undergo electro muscular strengthening or genetic modification. Alas, sadly there's no way to get access to any of those". It seems there's another reason to get stronger ."

Elric thought to himself once again, then found a comfortable spot to rest, thinking out aloud in his mind: "A.I. Chip! Scan the entirety of this body's memories along with the book and arrange it!"

[Task Established! Starting arrangement!]

Now, as Elric gave the command, his whole life flashed before his eyes, from birth to his being the young master everyone feared and envied till the point where the village was destroyed were all displayed in front of Elric's eyes with the A.I. Chip's assistance.

Every single memory, From his first word spoken till his last command to the A.I.

Such a large mass of memory was just too confusing, thankfully they were memories he already had and just flashed back due to the scanning. thankfully it ended quickly

[Data sorting has been completed!] The A.I. Chip notification sounded out.

"Create a new file, named 'Elric', and save it!" Elric gave a new order.

[File created - Elric!]

"Create another file, named 'ancestral inheritance', and save it!"

[File created - ancestral inheritance]

"New task, search the  ancestral inheritance file for all knowledge regarding this crystal"

[task Established. Begin Search!]

In front of Elric, Large amounts of data flashed past, seemingly forming a beautiful picture.

[Search Complete! Search Results - result found beast core!]

"beast core?" Elric paused a while as he thought. "Explain all matters regarding beast cores"

[Three results were found. beast core. 1. A crystal that resides in the body of powerful beasts upon the death of a beast with a beast core  2. beast core would absorb a large number of unknown energies from the air and grow bigger 3. commonly used for sacrifice to the Gods]

"The Gods!" anything that can arouse the Gods' interest must be important. "Wasn't George the son of the village priest? he should know a lot about it" Just as he was about to call George he noticed that he was the only one awake apart from Davis who kept watch.

watching everyone sleeping uncertain hope filled his heart for tomorrow. although they may be few but has the confidence to at least make everyone live better with his knowledge from the future. at least there won't be hygiene issues and once the analysis of the crystal is done he may even find the key to human evolution, even though his ancestors couldn't do it he has faith in his technical skills and adds his chips that surpass the current era. Where others had to practice multiple times he could make countless accurate simulations via the chip. While daydreaming Elric didn't seem to notice the strange shadow that enveloped his back.

    As the glow of the morning sun began to penetrate the cave at the end of Elric's words, only deadly silence filled the air. It seemed rather impossible for this land's natives to accept the overnight appearance of 'magic'. Though this was still within Elric's expectations. With a slight cough, he began to explain the concept of magic. "Through the knowledge given by our ancestors, magic is a phenomenon caused by the existence of mana! What is mana you may ask? Mana is a unique element that exists in the air!" Motioning for them to sit down he continued, "this unique element is then absorbed by the strange magical and powerful beasts that exist throughout Elias, through what is called a mana core!" he then pointed to the crystal-like substance behind him. After giving pause for the natives to ogle at the strange new substance, he then continued "This, however, is not a mana core but rather a mana crystal formed after the death of a creature possessing a mana core. It fixes itself in

    Feeling the familiar aura on one of the weaklings with doubt in its eyes it strode closer, at this point Elric and the rest had begun to hear its footsteps. turning their gaze it seemed as though the whole cave had lost its voice. Fear seemed to have stuck as a creature such as a Tantibus carries an overwhelming sense of presence for normal humans who haven't even set foot in the realm of the extraordinary. However, what happened next was to everyone's surprise the creature ignored everyone and strode toward Elric with doubts in its eyes. "A.I. chip what the heck is going on!?" although confused he still managed to put up a calm pretense as he spoke to the chip. [ Report to the host! Due to the soul inscription earlier, the host soul is emitting a slight fluctuation similar to the Tantibus ahead ] "Really? it seems my guess was not out of context, the creature that produced that mana crystal was either a Tantibus or was related to it especially after observing those sad eyes from

Thinking back to the knowledge of orcs taught to him by his father Elric couldn't help but have a dignified look on his face however, looking at the anxious crowd and thinking of the current situation it was clear this wasn't the time to panic. However, before he could try to appease the current situation a slight cough interrupted his thoughts." *cough* young master we were ambushed! you have to run now! Davi- *cough cough* Davis, he's trying to hold them off" Mustering up most of his strength the bleeding tribesman managed to cough up those few words before fainting. With his fainting, a sudden gloom fil

    The sun rose and the birds hummed, perhaps due to spending the night together, the goblins and the tribesmen had become quite close. On the far right of the cave, you could see Davis and Zriork having an arm wrestling competition together, with the constant cheering from both sides, a lively scene filled the cave."You can do it, Davis!""Victorrit es or's!""Don't let the young master down!""Winnar es lan!""Come on Davis!The language barrier seemed nonexistent in the progress of having fun. Shaking his head Elric began to do one thing he needed to do before the trip began, and that was to burn his ancestral inheritance book. After all the A.I. chip had recorded the knowledge and carrying any longer would have been a liability.Moving to the campfire still burning from the night without any hesitation he threw it in. "Don't worry ancestors I would put your knowledge to good use." Clenching his fist, he was not sure if he was making that statement to himself or his ancestors."Young

    "yaaaarit!""Hahaha"The sound of laughter reverberated through the night. Everyone seemed to have unloaded the stress from the long journey earlier."Human come over!" With hearty laughter, Elric was immediately called upon by Zriork as he entered the lake.With that call, almost all the attention was drawn to him, adding to his now naked condition a surge of embarrassment rushed through his body. Fortunately, there seemed to be a lack of shame on both goblin and human sides."Ha-ha, how's everyone doing?" With a dry laugh, Elric tried to divert the attention but it seemed he thought too much. Everybody went about their previous activities."Young master over here!""Elric over here!"The voices of George and Davis also came over. It seemed they had gathered with Zriork and the shaman to talk about something important. Not having any other options, he simply went to join them."Young master, the goblin chief, and shaman were just about to explain what the human gathering would be li

It was Davis who spoke up judging by his appearance, he had also woken up a lot earlier."Not yet, we have to wait for everyone to get ready. Go get George and make sure the others don't forget anything" Sitting on a nearby rock Elric began to think about his plans for the day."given our current pace and the shaman's description of the distance, we would most likely end up there just before nightfall""Not good, if we get there by nightfall there is no guarantee they'll let us in at that time" Shaking his head it seems we have to pick up the pace.Fortunately, at this time both the tribesmen and the goblins were ready."Haha Human, I see you have woken up! then let us set off!"

    A new day had begun, standing in front of the library door carrying a tray of food was Davis, however, based on past experiences he decided to enter directly rather than knocking.Opening the library door, unexpectedly what came to sight was not Elric sleeping while buried under a pile of books, but rather him sitting neatly at his desk fully concentrating on the book at hand.At this time, Elric had already seen the door opening, and without putting in too much effort, he had already guessed who it was."Come in Davis"hearing his young master call, Davis fully entered the room without any hesitation.Dropping his breakfast in front of him, Davis who had initially planned to leave immediately after dropping his food was unexpectedly stopped by Elric"Wait!"motioning for Davis to have a seat, and Elric to speak."I've decided that from now on, the four of us, that's me, you, George, and Alvin would go and hunt magic beasts for their materials every day from now on," Said, ElricThink

In fact, ever since he realised he was in a different world, the first thing that came to his mind was wizards and dragons.Unfortunately, the herd reality of this world quickly told him there was no such thing as wizards, thankfully with the A.I. chip he had the opportunity to create it.thinking back to those mysterious powerful wizards with long white beards and robes written in novels and movies back on the blue star he suddenly felt excited "Wizards are people who have a never-ending thirst for knowledge, they are people capable of studying the natural phenomena in their surroundings and manipulating it for their use!" Said Elric with an impassioned glint in his eyes.Hearing this, although the three of them had never seen a wizard just from Elric's explanation alone, they had already developed an inexplicable yearning for t

Shouted Elric Seeing his cough had the intended effect, ignoring Elric's angry face, Davis dropped the tray of food in front of Elric and left the room.Watching him leave Elric gave a slight yawn and looked at the food in front of him. As he started eating, he began to think of the gains and losses from yesterday."Firstly, my greatest gain from yesterday should be this!" waving his arm a small fireball appeared, after a few seconds it turned into a bitch black gas which covered his body, a
