chapter 4

in the next few months i followed the same routine, and improved very fast, i increased the amount of laps around the house, but i just left the strength building exercises as is

i was too afraid of injuring my self, so i opted to build a strong cardio vascular system instead and also added flexibility exercises, my family found it funny and thought that it was just a kid playing but when they tried to imitate me they found it too hard and just gave up, they were unaware of the hidden benefits a good flexibility would give someone in a fight

another thing i added to my routine was swimming, this kind of exercise is the most beneficial to me, after these few months of training i felt that swimming was the best out of all the  types training i did, not only it improved my strength, it gave me streamlined body shape, as all my muscles were used while swimming and it added to my stamina

i also enjoyed diving in the lake upstream of the nearby river where we go fetch water, it also helped that the fish were abundant and friendly, i would always race them underwater, and always end up loosing badly

i dare say no one apart from adults(and fish) could best me under water, i was a fast swimmer even if i could not catch fish underwater but with the use of a sharp stick i learn to catch some in the river near the shallow waters as for those in the lake that was just pipe dream

for now

when i am done with my training/playing, i would have a fish or two for lunch and then get my wooden sword and continue training so that i would hone my skills with the sword, i would practice a move 100 times and then go on to the next move and then restart the routine once again

i did this training everyday and now i am over 5 years old, my body changed a lot, most of my baby fat is gone and my figure is skinny(not bony) with a little muscle, but in each of these muscles a good amount of force is hidden.

as i was growing older i felt lonely, i may be reincarnated, but my body is still that of a child and i always get this urge to have fun and play and i can't keep suppressing this urge anymore so i decided to go into the village and interact with other kids my age

of course this is not the only reason why, in this world that is ruled by strength, may own strength is important but having an extra pair of hands helping you won't be bad either especially if groomed from young, plus they will be more loyal

talent is important but who would care about such a thing right now, i have no way of testing the talent of the kids in this village, but it would be better to have subordinates than to have none

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

if i nurture their fighting skills right now, those who have talent in cultivation would be nice, as for those who are not as talented in the field of cultivation, may be able to train those that are talented in the future, so i loose nothing, it could be called a virtuous cycle

plus the world is not only about training, if we only think in that aspect, it will  become the perfect example of brawn with no brain,

the world does not only need warriors, there have to be farmers, teachers, scientists and other professions,

if we take my previous world as an example, although there was not that much development in the individual strength of a person, when a lot of people combined their strength, knowledge and capabilities, they could create miracles like guns, cars, phones and THE INTERNET and so much more, just imagine if those geniuses could live more and be wilder in their experiments, if those people could have access to a miraculous source such as EE

if people could fly in outer space with their own body using EE, what could they do with it using other means, an infinite source of energy and possibilities, if EE could give birth to such a marvelous world why wouldn't it give birth to materials that are able to traverse the outer space, maybe  there are other humans or alien species out there (foreshadowing maybe)  

the only thing i can do now is to dream, but once i get in touch of the EE i will be able to do more, maybe conquering this world would not just be a dream, i may even be able to restore my past world civilization and surpass it, but lets not jump too much and take it step by step

anyway i may have not introduced the village to you guys before, but it is quite unique in its structure,it is like a central hub surrounded with many farmlands

you could call the central hub the main village, it surrounded by a large wooden wall and only artisans and merchants live in it as for the farmers, each one live in his own land and farm it, and once his crops are ready he round them up and go sell it in the village either to the merchants or directly to the clients by setting a stall, same for hunters the live in the outer perimeter of the forest so as to make it easy to hunt

when farmers and hunters need something like salt or something else they would buy it from merchant, when they need to repair or make tools they go to the forger, there is also a healer; a doctor of some sort, fuck there is even a brothel and an inn(bar)

so now i think that you understood why i call it the central hub

absorbed in my inner thoughts and fantasies, i didn't notice the danger approaching
