Chapter 2: Several Years Later
White Paw Village is a village that is home to many people. Residents include several humans, dwarves, and beastmen.
About the races, there are: humans (northern, southern, eastern, western); elves (forest, fairy, nymph, dark); beastmen (any animal/mixes of animals); dwarves (north, south, east, west).
In the village, the humans were western with eastern immigrants and the dwarves were dwarves of the west. Beastmen came in many forms, but most included the common features of cats, dogs, and rabbits.
Right now, Soula is 4 years old. He has started to train his body under the guidance of his father. Right now he is currently running around the village. So far, he ran about 3 miles. With the body of a four year old, this was extremely hard for him. The only value in continuing was the benefits told on the notification screens.
You have gained +1 Strength.
You have gained +3 Agility.
With the feeling of accomplishment, this drove almost anyone to try to earn just one more point before stopping. After Soula knew he couldn't go on anymore, he collapsed right in front of his house.
Moving his head forward, he thought, "Show Full Status Window."

Having trained since his father let him at the early age of 4, Soula is one of the strongest among his age. However, because of his peculiar childhood from his past life, he thought that everyone was around the same strength as him.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
During class, Soula also learned more about [Terra]. The continent [Status] was the same as the geography of Pangaea from [Earth]. The continent [Status] was separated into four areas ruled by the major countries: North- Russia, South- Africa, East- China, West- America. The current technology status was around the medieval times but with some ideas from modern times implanted.
Also, during these last four years, Soula has been training on his mana and ki control. Although he could’ve strengthened his capacity instead, he realized that he would stand out if people realized that he had a larger capacity than others at a young age. In the short term, working on control first is more important before training on capacity.
Besides, it seems like he found out how abnormal his stats were. When Soula asked his father how much mana he had, he replied that he had 4524 mana.
After another few minutes of resting, he heard his father greet someone.
“Hey Leyland. So you finally arrived. You sure took your time.”Soula remembered that his father told him that some people would be moving across the street.
“Ah, hey Dai. It took some time cause the kids seemed sad to move away from their old house." replied the man Leyland. "Oh yeah, sometimes I’ll send the kids to you so you can babysit.”
“Well, they can play with my son Soula whenever they want.”
Looking up, Soula noticed who his father was talking to. Leyland was a tall blond human. Although he wasn’t really handsome, he had a perfect figure with slim muscles and some sort of warrior aura.
“Oh. Who’s this young girl here?”
...an arrow went through Soula's heart. Recently he started to grow his hair out until it reached past his shoulders. This was unintentional because of the skill [Black Amethyst Hair].
Black Amethyst Hair [Rank A] Lv: 2
Hair with the magical properties of [Amethyst].
By infusing mana into your hair, it will increase your defense
up dependent on the amount of mana.
(WARNING: Defense is only raised on your hair. If mana manipulation not at Lv: 5 hair will automatically absorb mana to protect itself)
Mana to Defense: 100:7
With the combination of his hair style, plus Soula's eastern looks, he looked like a cute asian GIRL.
“Hehehe, Leyland this is my SON Soula. Soula, come over and greet my friend Leyland.”
Walking over, Soula greets him. “Hello Mr. Leyland. My name is Soula Voilong. I am a youthful BOY who loves to play like any other BOY.”
"Ahahahah, sorry about that. My name is Leyland [G]."
Confused, Soula asked, "[G]? What an unusual name."
"The [G] clan is one of the 26 western clans that take their name after the alphabet."
(AN: World alphabet based on English. In [Terra] the languages are the same. For convenience sake other languages will be translated to English.)
"Oh, why would someone from a country clan live in a small village like this?"
Scratching his head, Leyland replied, "Well, I'm actually a branch member that has more freedom than others."
As they were talking, a group of people were coming towards them.
A woman with blonde hair walks towards them with three children, one boy and two girls. The woman had a short haircut almost like a man’s and slim physique. Her face was petite with orange pupils and had cat-like ears on her head which drew attention to the tail wagging around. She wore leather armour used mostly for hunters and had a bow on her back. Looking at her, people would describe her as a tomboy or a nekojin. The children all had the same blonde hair as their parents.
Both of the girls were identical in appearance, even to the point where they dressed the same. Their hair was cut shoulder length and had blue eyes but other than that,both looked like humans. The boy, however, inherited his mother’s animal features and looked almost like a younger version of his mother.
Noticing them, Leyland introduced them, “Well, I’d like to meet my wife Katherine, and my children are Rudy, Rena, and Rika.”
“Nice to meet you.”
(Inner monologue of the kids)
Rudy: ‘Wow, what a pretty girl.’
Runa: ‘So this is our new playmate.’
Rika: ‘I wonder if he can last in a fight?’
“Nice to meet you. My name is Soula Voilong. Nice to make acquaintances with you.”
Suddenly, the young boy Rudy jumped forward and somehow procured a rose out of nowhere and spoke in a loud voice.
“PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!”
……….
“I AM NOT A GIRL!”
With that, the loud sound of a slap reverberated throughout the village.
