"Eh?"
"Usually kids your age would just say what they think in a simple way, without going into details or anything like that. But you're different, talking to you feels like I'm talking to someone my own age..." Leo said, he looked at Reynard with an intense gaze."Well, maybe uncle Leo doesn't know children well enough. I'm only 7 years old and uncle knows that very well..." explained Reynard, without realizing it cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Gosh, he almost got caught.Leo nodded his head, agreeing with Reynard's words, "You have a point, at first I thought there was a 30-year-old soul living in that tiny body of yours. But no matter how I think about it, it's impossible. Let's just say you were matured by circumstances. Many things have happened to you so far and without you realizing it, your brain works differently from most children your age. Honestly, I'm sorry for the calamity you've experienced, but because it can also strengthen you in the future. But still, being too mature at your age now is not the time, you are still 7 years old, you shouldn't have to bear all the pain alone. Being independent is good, but what's the point of human relationships if everyone can live alone? A rose may be beautiful, but its beauty is meaningless if it grows in the middle of a hot desert. No one sees it and the ecosystem around it doesn't support its growth. Then what would happen to the flower? Death. Wither away alone with no bees or butterflies to spare it."Reynard listened carefully to Leo's words. He had to admit Leo sounded so wise and indeed his words had a certain meaning in them. Solitude was good, living independently without making others worry, but humans were social creatures, living interconnectedly was a nature that they could not change.Reynard sighed softly, he was reminded of his previous life. Trying so hard to live independently and thinking that he would trouble others if he asked for their help. 'If I hadn't been so arrogant, maybe I'd still be living on Earth now...' he muttered to himself with regret."Aih, never mind. Everything I said earlier was just nonsense, I'm also not a wise person so just skip what I said earlier. By the way, what else do you want to buy?" Leo tried to change the subject, it seemed inappropriate to talk about something too serious with a child."How about some snacks to share with the others?" Reynard asked. He couldn't live alone in his little house forever, there was no harm in getting to know more people rather than being bored without playmates.Leo thought about it for a moment before nodding his head, agreeing with Reynard's words, "alright..."The two of them spent a total of two full hours in the shopping center. Reynard bought a few suits of clothes as well as a few bags of snacks for him to distribute to others in Oshley village. Leo was also bought some clothes by Reynard, Leo also did not mind getting all those clothes because he knew now Reynard did not have to worry about his finances."This is the first time I've carried so many bags of groceries. I thought I'd never get a taste of what it's like to be rich..." Leo said in a joking tone."Well, I'm rich now. So I can buy everything Uncle Leo wants. Uncle Leo only has to tell me..." Reynard replied with a chuckle."Even if you have a lot of money, you're still too young to give your money to others. I should be the one buying you things instead of the other way around," Leo said.Reynard just shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly, "Alright, I won't insist."***"How is the situation of the western region now?" asked a middle-aged man. He sat on a throne, wearing royal robes and an ancient crown on his head.The other kneeling man replied, "The situation has become inconclusive. After the enemy's ambush action, we have lost almost half of the entire army. If only we could get more help, the situation might be able to change as we wish.""Help? I've handed over three messengers, but there's still no news until now. I hope everything goes well..." replied the man wearing the royal crown."Do you mean the Rodenhart, Valthyr and Reinsky families?""That's right, in our current situation, the Valthyr family's help is more important because we need a supply of weapons given the larger number of enemy troops. Rather than adding more casualties to the war, I'm thinking of increasing the supply of weapons instead."The man sitting on the throne was none other than the King of Mondelez Kingdom, Vander Rovenwood, the only person who held the highest power in Mondelez Kingdom. While the man kneeling towards him was one of the five generals of the kingdom, Argon.Argon raised his head to stare at his king with a stern look, "but the chances of us winning are very small. Please allow me to mobilize more troops so that victory is more assured!"The situation in the western region was very bad, the war that had been going on for several months had resulted in thousands of soldiers dying in battle. Vander was trying to prevent more soldiers from dying in the midst of battle, but Argon's words were also quite reasonable.Relying on weapons alone is not enough to win the battle, at least a new battalion should be created to be deployed in the bloody war in the western region of the kingdom.Vander shook his head, not fully agreeing with Argon's words even though his reasoning made sense. "Retreating is better than having to sacrifice many troops. I'll order the other four generals to mobilize the troops, but not for now. The battle flag is still flying, but we've lost so many troops, it's not a good development going forward..." he replied with a calm voice but there was dominance in every word.Argon wanted to say something, but he aborted his intention and could only remain silent while sighing heavily. The screams of the soldiers in the middle of the battle kept ringing in his head, he was determined to avenge them all and crush the enemy to the ground.Hot blood churned in his veins, but the situation was not in his favor which required him to restrain his own emotions. There was a certain reason why Argon became one of the five generals of the Mondelez Kingdom."I will abide by your words, your highness. Then I beg to excuse myself from your presence because I still have a lot of business to attend to with the others..." Argon stood up and waltzed away from the royal hall.Varden lightly massaged his dizzy forehead, he couldn't help but think of the kingdom and the welfare of his people. His absolute power was followed by a heavy burden piling up on his shoulders, he had to stay strong so that everything would run smoothly as expected for his kingdom in the future.The hall doors opened again, revealing a mature woman dressed in Phoenix robes, her silver hair left loose, showing off her beauty to the fullest to those who saw her."My queen, what brings you to my chambers?" asked Varden, the woman in front of him was none other than his wife, the Queen of the Mondelez kingdom, Viana."Your Majesty, there is something I want to talk to you about. Not as king and queen, but as father and mother. The crown prince has finished his studies at the Rostuche Academy, three days ago he returned from the academy and decided to go hunting until he figured out what to do next..." Viana said."The Crown Prince has returned? Why didn't he meet his father?" Varden furrowed his brows, not liking the fact that his eldest son did not meet him right after he returned from the academy."I myself had asked him to meet you after he returned from the academy, but he rejected it immediately and said that he would meet you after he confirmed something..." Viana replied. She knew Varden gave less affection to his children, but that did not mean Varden did not love them. It was just that his daily life was always preoccupied with the kingdom's affairs making it difficult for him to spend time playing with them."Hahh... Never mind, just let him be. Is there anything else the queen wants to talk about?"Viana didn't speak right away, she was pensive for a while then said, "please put Eve into the Rostuche Academy, she's already 10 years old, it's about time she learned about magic.""If that's your wish, then I'll put her into the Rostuche Academy... I hope the academy can accept her..." Varden replied, his face looking instantly gloomy.Day after day passed, it had been a month since Reynard transmigrated to this Isekai world. What he had to learn he had learned and understood everything, now he was living like a 7-year-old child, of course only he himself knew what he was really doing.The bright rays of the sun slowly began to fade, replaced by the dim moonlight that accompanied the night. The darkness of the night did not stop the village of Oshley from remaining bustling, just like any other day. The residents there had begun to set up a small stage, a special place as well as the main event that they always celebrated every week."Hurry up! Reynard's about to start his fairy tale!" "Layla, sit here!""Uncle, what are you doing? Why are you taking my seat?!""Mom, I want popcorn!"The night wore on, accompanied by the noisy villagers of Oshley who refused to be quiet. There were at least 30 villagers gathered in front of the small stage, usually the event that was held once a week was not this crowded, but now i
The chaos caused by the beast attack was by no means small, there were many victims who were Oshley villagers lying lifeless, some of them even lacking complete limbs.Reynard felt sick at the sight of that horrifying scene. Seeing it in person was very different compared to only seeing it through the television screen in his previous life. The pungent smell of blood wafted through his senses, Reynard tried to stay strong and not vomit in the midst of the chaotic situation."How horrible is the beast tide that there are so many victims here?" he muttered. A swarm of beasts had penetrated into the village, Reynard could only hope that everyone he knew remained safe."I have to save them, but not with my appearance like this..." he was still wearing the sheep costume he had worn earlier. Reynard wandered around, looking for something that could cover his face and stature.He saw a piece of red cloth that was large enough to cover his entire body, lying on the ground. Reynard picked it u
Thanks to Reynard's diversion, the villagers found it easier to push through waves of beasts relying on their advantage in terms of quantity. Even if there were many beasts, an attack from a group of adults could not be underestimated, some of them even managed to kill the beasts relying on makeshift weapons.Unity and cooperation certainly played a big role in their success. Nothing was more important than protecting their own families from beast attacks, so they racked their brains and thought of how they could deal with a horde of beasts without taking too many casualties.While Reynard ran further into the forest, he could estimate how strong the three large birds chasing him were from the strength of their grip, so he tried to minimize the damage to the village facilities and just in case there might be other people affected by the three birds' attacks.Attacking them in the forest or in a field with no one around was definitely the best option he could think of. He also wanted t
Conditions in Oshley were not good at all even though Reynard had taken out some of the beasts, the continuous waves of beasts overwhelmed the villagers and casualties inevitably continued to fall. After taking out the three giant birds, Reynard immediately returned to Oshley to help the villagers fend off the beast attacks. It was undeniable that even if he possessed extraordinary strength, he was still unable to stop the tide of beasts alone."I need a mage to be able to take out all those beasts from a distance..." Reynard muttered after monitoring the situation which was far from good. He was angry to see a group of beasts preying on the villagers, but he tried to remain calm and realistic.At his current level, he still had trouble handling dozens of beasts simultaneously. Perhaps when he reached level 40, he would be able to finish off all the beasts with ease.Forcing forward now was tantamount to suicide, he would not commit suicide a second time, he regretted it."Forget it,
Living alone made him appreciate family relationships even more in his current life. A Reynard who never knew what love was, began to feel it as another 'Reynard' in another world, a world that only appeared in fairy tales, the kind of world filled with both wonder and danger.Be it in his past life or in his present life, he was still a parentless orphan. It was just that, in this life, he knew that living alone was not so terrible, the loneliness he had been feeling, slowly began to disappear, replaced by a warm feeling that ran through his heart when he saw grandfather Owen and everyone in Oshley village treating him well.'Ah, is this what I've been longing for?' Reynard thought to himself, perhaps the reason why he committed suicide was not because of the affair between Christoper and Halley, perhaps he was just too lonely. Feeling alone among the billions of people scattered across the Earth, perhaps.He just threw all that loneliness onto the depraved actions of his ex-girlfrie
Betting on his physical strength when his opponent was a mystic beast was basically tantamount to suicide. Even a rank A Warrior could not necessarily match the physical strength of a mystic beast, let alone Reynard who he himself knew how strong he really was, yet he was sure he still had not reached the rank A Warrior stage, at least he knew that well.Even though he knew the bet he made would only lead to a pointless death, he still did it. I don't know, it was as if there was someone pushing him to do it, his will told him that he should at least dare to handle that one ape punch even if it was ultimately met with defeat.At least, it would not be a humiliating defeat.Reynard focused all his physical strength into the tip of his fist, his feet moving as fast as they could, creating a momentum that was difficult for anyone to avoid. Only this time his opponent was a giant ape, a mystical beast that could destroy an empire.Each footstep left a deep imprint on the ground, a sign th
It had been three days since the young man had confined himself to his room without eating or drinking, his condition more miserable than dying. His eyes stared blankly at the window of the room that only slightly emitted sunlight from behind the bright yellow curtains."I just found out that I'm this pathetic... Can't handle the betrayal of a woman and a best friend, really weak..." the man muttered weakly, he rubbed his face roughly, removing the traces of tears that were previously clearly visible on both cheeks.Back to three days ago, where he discovered the shocking fact that Christoper and Halley were cheating on him, the two people he trusted the most in his life had betrayed him and were living an illicit relationship in his shadow. Christoper was his best friend, while Halley was his lover, but the two figures he had always prioritized were stabbing him in the back.With a weak mental state, the man could only surrender while contemplating the unfortunate fate that befell hi
This was the first time Reynard called his name in a long time. Who wouldn't be worried to see a 7-year-old child living alone after the death of his parents, anyone would sympathize with his misfortune. But Reynard often stayed away from them, the little boy confined himself to his house more often than playing with his peers.It made the villagers worried about Reynard's future, after all mental health was incurable, at least that was their thinking."Y-you... You just called me?" Owen asked in disbelief. He never thought he would hear Reynard speak to him after all this time."Yeah, there's only grandpa here, who else would I talk to?" asked Reynard with his innocent face, looking so relaxed, in stark contrast to the old Reynard."O-oh, yes... I'm the only one here... Ah, it's getting late, I also know you haven't eaten anything from the morning. I see the breakfast Aunt Jean prepared is still intact on the dining table, how can you endure hunger all day? Your stomach will be damag

"Eh?""Usually kids your age would just say what they think in a simple way, without going into details or anything like that. But you're different, talking to you feels like I'm talking to someone my own age..." Leo said, he looked at Reynard with an intense gaze."Well, maybe uncle Leo doesn't know children well enough. I'm only 7 years old and uncle knows that very well..." explained Reynard, without realizing it cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Gosh, he almost got caught.Leo nodded his head, agreeing with Reynard's words, "You have a point, at first I thought there was a 30-year-old soul living in that tiny body of yours.

Reynard finished cleaning himself and immediately changed clothes, using a better and tidier suit of clothes. His plan today was not to stay at home, but to go outside and interact with the villagers. He also had to buy some new clothes and replace the broken furniture in the house. Remember, he has 1,000,000 Mondelez gold coins in his system, so he doesn't have to worry about finances anymore.It's just that he's still too small to do it all by himself, so he'll ask the villagers for help. His little footsteps led him to a modest house just a short distance away from his home. The house in front of him was Owen's grandfather's house, the old man who used to help him."Grandpa! Grandpa Owen!" he shouted to Owen from the front yard.The front door of the house opened, revealing an adult man dressed in sky-blue clothes, looking completely at odds with his stocky stature and fierce-looking face."Ah, Reynard!" The adult man was none other than Leo, Owen's youngest son. Leo was 25 years
Reynard was stunned as he looked at the holographic screen right in front of him. He suddenly remembered his initial enthusiasm, the thought that he might gain special abilities like the main character of a fantasy genre manga with a transmigration theme, one of which was to gain a system, like a system in a game."I have a system? SYSTEM?! Yahoo! I finally have a special ability for me to become stronger than anyone else quickly!" Reynard shouted happily in the living room of his house, jumping for joy with a look of excitement on his face.Once his excitement had subsided a little, he tried to catch his breath, jumping up and down was quite draining. He noticed the metal box in his hand which was now no longer covered with rune lines on its surface, it was more like an ordinary metal box. There was nothing special about it."Although this metal is already useless, it's better that I keep it. After all, this metal itself is not simple if it can store a 'system' inside..." He then wav
