1 week later and 2 days later
I was able to walk again and my mana had returned to a normal level according to the system I had also gained enough weight to finally start training again, "I Cant stay this weak if I'm going to face Ezra and win" I had said to Kaito despite the possible risk of it "Hes a total monster Orion we cant win, you didn't see what he did to that village, we just cant win" he seemed to have PTSD from the events of the village, "I'm the only one who can defeat him" Kaito slammed his hands onto the table "Quit trying to be a hero when your not, all you are is a stupid kid" I looked at him coldly "if you wont help me ill go somewhere that people can" I stood up and looked around at everyone who was in the room "if any of you want to come with me then just follow me" I walked out of the door and Rei followed and after a few steps I heard the door open again "Dont be stupid Rei he's a dumb boy who delusional and on a suicide mission" she didn't look back but stood by my side, I walked towards Kaito and grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him back "pull yourself together, there are people who look up to you, and I'm far from a kid I may look like one but my mind isn't, but you already knew that" I released him and walked towards the gates of this community and walked up the stiars to the wall and jumped off of the wall since it was likely that they wouldn't open the gate, Rei followed and I caught her "So why are you choosing to follow me" she shrugged "Because Unfortuantly my brother has gone weak, and I don't trust Ezra or any of his followers" I nodded "Good, he isn't to be trusted" she nodded in agreement and we continued to walk when she suddenly said "So where are we going?" I turned around to face her and said "to a place that likes awakened humans and other creatures that can use magic" she naroed her eyes at me "when you say other creatures it sounds like you look down on the rest of us none human races" my eyes went wide and I shook my head "No, No that not what I meant, I know there are stronger species out there then humans" she seemed sastifyed with that answer [Note user should think of their words before speaking] I already knew that, the system had been more active since it supodily evolved but it wouldn't let me see my stats anymore.
we eventually reached a new settlement and it seemed large, too large but we entered and saw a large variety of species there were hundreds of merchants, we traveled through the crowds of people eventually getting to the other side of the village I saw a small potions shop on the outside it had a small flyer asking for someone to retrieve some medical herbs from the desert nearby, I walked into the shop and well it looked dusty and unkept "do you still need those herbs?" I said to the ancient-looking lady at the desk, she looked up surprised "I don't have much to offer you, we don't get money often" I shrugged "you could offer an equivalent potion if that's fine" she nodded and I then said "so what is this medical herb and where can I find it and how do I need" she motioned for one minute "ill write it down" she used her mana and some paper appeared and then the system said [That is Creation magic and increasingly rare type of magic, user should try to learn it or find a way to steal it] she handed me the piece of paper "if you head to the East exit you'll be closest to the desert" I looked at her confused "which one is the east exit?" she pointed to the one that was just down the street [mapping out the area and creating a list of needed items to complete quest] we left the shop and I looked at the needed items

we looked around for a bit since it was getting dark and I didn't want to be in the desert when it was dark so we found a small place, and Rei had a few coins and she managed to get us a room but like usually it only had one bed "you can sleep in it I'm fine with the floor" she shook her head "no we could both sleep in it, I don't mind" it wasn't a small bed but it just felt weird to me, I sighed in defeat and said "well I likely won't be going to bed for a bit so" she shrugged and sat on the bed "I'm not tired either, but I have a few questions for you about before the war" I shrugged "ask away" she nodded and seemed happy "well are the story about those weapons that could easily destroy and entire city, are they true?" I nodded "they were called Nuclear Bombs" she seemed intrigued by that "why were they cal-" I cut her off "I don't know" she then asked a different question "Were you married in your previous life" I shook my head "I was a free man" she laughed slightly "well that answered two questions" I also laughed "I'm guessing you were going to ask if in my previous life I was a male" she nodded and then asked another question "what god do you serve under" I sighed "well truth be told--" she cut me off "I knew it you lied t---" I cut her off"I didn't lie he just cut connections with me after I got hit from Ezras attack" she looked down "I'm sorry, I didn't know" she looked like she was genuinely sorry "its fine" she looked up surprised "thank you" i shrugged "i think that enough questions for the night" she nodded and i sat there silently thinking for awhile while Rei observed me then i suddenly got up and said "i need to try to remake contact with my god, and from the help of his gift to me i think I've figured it out" [More like i figured it out] she looked at me confused "what gift?" i sighed "he gave me what he calls a system and it allowed me to grow stronger, now its evolved and can speak to me freely but i cant increase my power and i need to be able to do that if I'm going to defeat Ezra" she looked even more confused "ok forget it, but ill need for it to be quiet" she nodded and i sat down on the floor and began to meditate focusing on the power within the system.
