“Ha~~~h…”
Once dinner was done Rollo showed Drake the way to the bath where he washed himself and took a dip in the tub.

Though the red haired boy call it a tub in reality it was something more akin to a huge wooden barrel filled with water coming out of an opening in the wall.
According to Rollo there is a natural hot spring near the village from which they get the water for their baths.
As Drake submerged all the way to his neck he felt his stiff muscles relax and the weariness wash off.

“Hey Drake, it’s time to- ah! You’re already up.” “Well, more like I didn’t sleep at all.” Sunrise arrived while Drake was still fiddling with the System trying to understand it a bit better. Rollo was surprised that he had been up the entire time, worrying that he would be too sleepy when they meet his grandfather later on. All-nighters weren’t really a problem for Drake as he had been pulling more and more of those as his entrance exams were drawing close. Not to mention it has been less than half a day since he woke up so there is no way he’d be sleepy right now. “Breakfast is ready.” Rollo said. “I’ll show you around the village after. Grandpa has some things to take care of in the morning so we still got time.” The
At the far end of the village was a huge building far bigger than what Drake has seen so far. Rollo called it the Winter Hall. The naming comes from how it’s used as a shelter from the harsh blizzards that assault the region during winter. Since the population is small everyone need each other to survive so they have to look out for one another to make sure no one freezes in their homes.Drake was surprised when he heard that Rollo’s grandfather is actually the village chief. Though he don’t know what someone in his position does he understand that the old man is the highest authority there and is responsible for keeping this place going.He’s huge… Drake thought, immediately recognizing the man in question. “Grandpa, good morning.” Rollo said when they arrived.“Rollo! Good timing!” At first Drake was expecting an old man with a white beard who’s barely able to stand, however the one standing before him wasn’t someone you’d expect to have married grand children. He was a literal
“Hey, Rollo, did you do anything to strengthen your Beast Soul?”The system was based on video games so Drake doubted the residents of this world would know anything about it. He suspected that the way they interpret their powers is totally different from how he does, which meant they might have a different method to gain strength.“Nothing in particular.” The red head replied. “I was forbidden from leaving the village until now so I couldn’t try anything.”“I see…”Thinking about it for a moment, Drake concluded that Rollo had gained the required amount of Essence from the two quests they had completed, same as him. That led him to think that the rewards the system offered might not be something it creates on
“Phew~”Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Rollo let go of the axe he had been swinging for a few minutes now.“Good work.” Drake said as he passed him the water skin.The read haired boy chugged a mouthful before returning it then shifted his gaze to the pile of fire wood he had chopped so far.They were about to be done preparing the second WalkinRoot they had hunted, taking turns cutting the trunk into small enough pieces to fit inside the hearths.“Alright. I’ll finish the rest.” Drake said as he grabbed his axe.Rollo moved aside and let him get to it. Placing one of the large pieces of wood on the stump, he lifted his axe
“TODAY WE CELEBRATE ROLLO AND THE MAN WHO SAVED HIS LIFE!!!”In the village hall Drake sat on wooden chair listening as Rollo’s grandfather gave a short speech.“The two fought the night church and safely returned! Not only that but they also managed to obtain two of the most powerful Souls to ever exist!” His voice thundered throughout the hall as a big grin spread across his face. “A grand feat only a few could hope to accomplish! As a reward for their bravery I, Ragnar son of Thors and the current chief of Thors village, bestow Rollo son of Olaf and Drake Brand with the Hunter title!”[SYSTEN NOTIFICATION][Title: 《Hunter》 has been implemented.][《Hunter》: a title granted to
“I TOLD YOU IT’S REAL!!!” Rollo shouted at the villagers.“Calm down Rollo.” Said Astrid trying to reprimand him.“Well, we knew from the get go.” Added Gunnar. “The shield you brought was enough proof.”“Then why didn’t you believe me!?”“Cause a kid going to the mountain, fighting fanatics and escaping a legendary beast isn’t exactly a believable story.” Said Ragnar.“Then why did you believe Drake!?” Rollo turned to the guy in question and pointed his finger.“C’mon, it’s not like we didn’t believe you. We just wanted to hear what he would sa
Drake Brand.The day after the feast.Rollo came to wake me up and though I thought it was too early to get up I forced myself out of bed. His brother in law, Gunnar, would be teaching us today a few things about being a Hunter.It’s just the first step I’m taking so I need to learn what I can quickly so I can get to hunting Magical Beasts as soon as possible.Rollo was in a really bad mood this morning. The beer he drank yesterday left him with a nasty hangover that wouldn’t be going anywhere anytime soon. He swore to never drink alcohol again, grumbling as we ate breakfast.Once we were done we went to Bjorn the blacksmith to get some equipment. He loaned us some chainmail and two swords expecting us to pay fo
