Ren was currently walking towards the village, his main objective was to steal some tools/weapons and if situation allowed then he would also steal some food, spices, clothes and other necessities for his survival in forest.
After walking for around 2 hours he finally saw few huts. This village seemed quite undeveloped. People were wearing some rags not like it could be called clothes. After some time of observing and spying he roughly guessed that 80-120 people lived here. Now he found himself a new problem.
'Should I even try to steal something from them? They already look so poor that i doubt they will have any good weapons, but again..they could use this appearance to fool others.'
Just when he was thinking he facepalmed himself....'Just from their body built I can see that they have more than plenty food. And I really called myself assassin when I can't even properly gather information about villagers.'
Now only question was where were they keeping tools and other things. Ren wasn't stupid enough to think they kept them in barn since they were playing this poor facade it was apparent that they must have hidden their tools and gold pretty good and didn't want army to take them away. In this world war was quite normal thing therefore they had to hide everything they had. It seemed even the woman had somehow dirty and mesed up faces....probably not to take any liking to soldier.
'Enough of thinking, I should make a move now, it was already getting late' When Ren was planning to make a move he saw one of villagers on field with broken tool, It seemed Ren had fate on his side.
All he had to do now was to follow that villager when he will go for new tools. After following man he arrived to normal looking hut. Ren could not follow man inside since hut was small and he wasn't accustomed to his new body yet.
After 15 minutes villager walked out of hut and went back to his field. 'F*cking finally. I am patient person but that doesn't mean I won't curse few times if you take whole day picking 1 stupid tool'
Ren entered hut but all he saw was table and few chairs. 'There must be trapdoor or something' Ren's speculations were right, under the table he found trapdoor to underground. He went there immediately and was quite surprised... *whistle* 'For a small village good collection of good quality tools even few old weapons.'
Ren didn't dare to take too much of time and he immediately took 1 scythe, 1 rusty saber and few daggers. He also didn't forget to take some spices, bread, clothes, belt for daggers and ALE! He didn't really get why they kept tools and food together but he didn't really care 'Their problem...when someone (like him) finds something they will find everything.'
Ren walked out of hut and was planning to leave but then he saw a training field with few kids and adults training. He choose to watch but he immediately abandoned that plan...when he saw their techniques with spears and swords he only shook his head and get out of the village.
He walked toward the spot where he left wolf and fortunately it was still there. He took him and went back to place where he appeared first. He started a fire and removed fur from wolf with his daggers. Thankfully there was a river nearby so he could wash his daggers and meat full of blood.
After some time.
'I never knew that wolf meat could be so good. Plus combined with ale... masterpiece. Still.. I need to be on guard roasting meat in the middle of forest isn't safest' Ren looked to his right side and saw his weapons...he grinned and thought 'Not like it matters anymore, now that I have weapons I dont care about some wild animals. Only thing that can endanger is danger beast. If i was in my prime I could probably defeat High-Class 3 danger beast.'
This wasn't Ren being weak...Only people in this world trained easier and faster and also could "evolve" not like Ren who could not gain anymore power in his previous life. Also it seemed that natural energies are presented here in higher quality and quantity than on Earth.
Ren was already pretty excited that he could become much stronger than in his previous life.
'In this life I will once again pursue power. I will strive to become strongest so no one will tell me what to do and what is right.'
'Good......Evil who cares about them? I will be selfish to become stronger, I will be good when in great mood and I will be evil when in sour mood.'
'I WILL DO WHATEVER I WANT HAHAHA' Just before his first sleep in this world he just had to have his crazy laughter. Ren didn't probably notice but he was starting to have few emotions like greed (power), although it was really small amount it was still apparent when compared to old Ren.
Next morning Ren would start his training plan he already had in mind.
This is probably slow paced for some people but I don't want to rush it and then have no ideas what to do next.
Sorry for any mistakes as stated before my English is pretty bad and I don't even speak about grammar
