* Theldesian NPC (Log Horizon)

Synopsis: Reincarnation is a funny thing especially when you're reincarnated as one off the "people of the land".

I was heading to east towards Alberta, but the path was blocked by slimes, boars, wolfs, and briar weasels.

I had no choice but to use my swaff, a convertible sword and staff that has 20-30 attack and 50 magical attack. Yup, made one through crafting.

The slimes were easily enough dealth with using my swaff's slash and thrust, they didn't even have a chance.

The boars on the other hand were somewhat of a challenge with their thick hide so I changed my swaff into a staff and cast some fireball over them.

"Roast pork anyone?." I said as I continued onwards.

The wolves seeing the carnage retreaded, I didn't see them until night time with reinforcements no less.

"So this is what you guys were planning, an ambush in my sleep, Hohoh, a worthy plan, unfortunately, you got paired with the wrong opponent, Thunderstorm!." I said as ferocious thunders strikes down the wolves with an area of attack magic spell showing no mercy.

"Awoooo." said the wolf as it glowed and turned into a werewolf.

"Observe."

Werewolf King

The King of werewolves, said to appear when mass death on its pack is defeated.

lvl 30

5000 hp/ 500 mp

"Oh yeah baby, let's dance." I said as I charged with sword mode.

"Double slash."

-150hp

"Raooorr!." The monster roared as it began its barrage of furry swipes. It if wasn't for my swift footwork, I would be dead.

"Healing!." I cast over my battered body

"Let's try this again, mana shield!." I said as I danced to the death with my elegant movent and used Iai strike whenever possible because double slash takes too much time and movement to dodge at the same time.

"ROOOOOOOOAR!." The wolf in its near trying comments went into its berserk mode sacrificing speed and rationality into brute strength.

This was the downfall of the werewolf king. Although the fight lasted for an hour, I was winning slowly but sure. As the last hit landed, the werewolf king howled its last and vanished into colorful bubbles leaving behind its drops

"Mysterious egg?, let's see."

Ding!

Would you like to name your pet?

"Omg, it's meatbun from 1/2 prince pet, how the check did that get in here?, Oh well, no use wondering about it."

"Yes, name pet, meatbun."

"Well this sure is full of surprises." I said as I went towards the neared town. A few hours later, I arrived at a port city.

"Welcome to the port city of Alberta, also known as the city of merchants."

"Ohhh, looks nice Oji-san."

"Hey I'm still 20 years young."

"I seee..."

"Anyways what are you here for kid?."

"Ahhh, I want to go to the port town of Choushi near the sand leaf peninsula."

"Are you sure your not lost?, where are your parents?."

"They sent me off in a journey of self discovery and independence so they can have some more alone time with each other." I replied.

"Ohhhh, tough luck ehh, anyways, you might have not heard but the city of adventurers right now is quite unstable, which means unrest to business and traveling expenses has risen because of it, really now, it now cost 5 thousand gold, why I remember that boat trip was only 500 gold a trip before, you sure you got the money kid?."

"I'll work something out, but I'm staying a bit, any Inn you recommend?."

"Try the Krusty Krabs inn, they have been there since my great, great grandfather."

" I see, thanks for the help mister." I said to the guard as I moved and explored the town.

Flea Market.

"I'm telling you, this book is legendary, my grand father said that this came from a portal."

"A portal?, yeah right old man, you must me joking."

"Yeah it's a useless book, I can't even identify it."

"Face it, you've been trying to sell that book for ten years, No-one is going to buy it at 500,000 Gold, even adventurers stay away from it.

"I'm not for settling for any less, This book is even indestructible, I hired the most powerful warrior and wizards to try to destroy this book, it simply is indestructible, anyone wanna try?, try destroying this book?, I dare you." Said the merchant.

Hearing that I approached the merchant.

"Mister is that true?, I'll take the challenge mister."

"Mwahahahahaha, okay little boy, but do not be shocked if you can't destroy it."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence."

"Mwahahahahahaha, your a good lad, here is the book I'm talking about."

Ding!

"Do you want to learn Meteor Storm Yes/No"

"What!, It can't be, it crumpled to dust in a simple fire, how can that be?."

"Wow mister, I'm sorry for your loss, it was a good legend though."

"Please, leave an old man to mourn his loss."

"Okay mister." I said as I left for the Krusty Krabs Inn.

Kristy Krabs Inn

"Hello, welcome to the Krusty Krabs Inn, it's 100 gold per night on regular rooms and 500 gold per night on the VIP."

"I'll try the VIP room mister, jut for one night."

"Ar, ar, ar, ar, ar, trying out the sweet life ehh me boyoh?, very well, this old man will give you the best service for tonight, come this way to register and after that, well start you with your own private spa and massage session."

1 Day later

"That was the most relaxing stay I have ever had, even meatbun was pleased." I said to the owner.

"Nyuu." Said Meatbun.

"Ar, ar, ar, ar, ar, the pleasure is all mine me boyoh, come again you hear."

"Aye, aye, sir."

Since it was a city of commerce, I decided to milk it for all its worth, I visited the market and looked at some useful items, spice is definitely one as well as meat and rice.

"Sigh, if only there was a skill book about cooking, oh, well, I'll just head to a restaurant and look for work."

It was really difficult making them hire a child, but add in the cuteness and puppy dog look and viola, instant job. They even come with free lodging.

"I can't believe they hired me." I said in disbelief.

The day went on and I was given instructions, complicated instructions on the job which shocked the workers greatly when I completed them and earned me some respect in restaurant.

Meanwhile the restaurant was a hub of people, especially adventurers gossiping about the apocalypse. Information flowed and as a child, I was not seen as a threat so I was able to listen in into private conversation letting me understand the status of world and the political information was enlightening.

My job from a bus boy was later upgraded into a waiter, then an assistant chef and then a chef in the course of 6 months. It really is a full time job as I barely able to apprentice as a blacksmith was what I originally planned.

Still who would've thought I'd learn some of these useful skills.

New Skills:

Herbalism lvl 10

Cooking lvl 35

Information gathering lvl 20

»Poker face lvl 15

»Puppy face lvl 10

»Innocent act lvl 30

Stealth lvl 10

Trading lvl 15

»Haggling lvl 25

»Discount lvl 15

»Overcharge lvl 17

Crafting lvl 30

»Handicrafts lvl 20

»Sculpting lvl 15

»Tailoring lvl 18

Yup I gained herbalism through my experiments of herbs and spices, my cooking leveled up wonderfully. Through my increase information gather, I successfully managed to level my poker and puppy face, but none could read is my Innocent act.

I didn't expect to sneak to some shady areas to verify rumors and avoid unsavory characters though which gained me the stealth skill.

My daily shopping unlocked my trading skill and with time I learned Haggling, asking for a discount and conveniently overcharge on items when selling them by knowing their value.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

I even decided on inventing stuff and unlocked the crafting subcategories of handicrafts, sculpting and tailoring giving items a beneficial stat boost and effects.

My life here in Alberta has been fruitful, buying some materials and selling them was a huge profit.

I have also started packing some food, materials and essentials in my inventory, it really was useful ability.

My pet meatbun seems to level decently, by eating delicious food and reached level 40 where he can talk now. He has the skill machine gun meat attack and Aroma blast which is a very useful skill to draw in monsters.

"Yup meatbun is the best."

"I love papa too."

"Your so cute meatbun."

"Well, I learned all I can here, I'm going to check out the information that Choushi is having an adventurers training camp."

Gatoh Shipping Industires.

"Welcome to Gatoh shipping industries, how can I help you?."

"Yes, I'd like one ticket to the port town of Choushi please."

"That will be 5,000 gold."

"Here." I said as I took out money from my inventory

"Thank you, for choosing Gatoh shipping industries, please proceed to the door on the right and show the guard your ticket, have a nice day."

"Thank you." I said as I headed to the ferry vessel

The ferry then took off after 3 hours of waiting, the ride was smooth, it only took 6 hours before we arrived at Minami. It was a nice ride though, the wind was powered by wind magicians.

We did encounter some Sahuagin though, it was fun to watch how my hired adventurers fight, a little quirky, it's probably understandable with the apocalypse and all.

Sahuagin

Level: 22 ~ 48

Rank: Normal

Location: Underwater, coastlines and underwater dungeons

A humanoid creature living in the oceans and lakes, it has an appearance like a fish. It is between 120-170cm when walking upright. It's skin color ranges from light blue to dark blue with its belly being white. It has the ability to move in water, normally active on the ocean bed and the bottom of lakes. It can walk on land for a few hours, and most fight with their claws or tridents. It is very curious, views humans as the enemy and is ferocious in battle.

Choushi Port

"Thank you for choosing Gatoh shipping industries, please come again."

I packed my luggage, well, it was mostly for appearance, my items are in my inventory pocket dimension. As I left, I saw a gathering of adventurers.

"Excuse me?, what gathering is this?." I asked around.

"Hello young lad, these people are adventurers, they are doing a training camp here, the town of Akihabara recently formed the Round Table council and one of their new policy is to train new adventurers, doesn't that make you feel safe?."

"Ahh, yup sure does."

"Ahh, Naotsugu-kun, be sure to direct those of the crafting class to build the building for the training camp, I'll be sure to reward you later." Said the blond girl with a wink.

She is probably Maryele, the leader of the guild «Crescent Moon Alliance».

"Wow onee-sama is so hard working." I couldn't help but blurt it out, and of course she heard it.

"Well, hello boya, what's a pretty thing like you doing here?, what are doing here?, are you lost?, hmmm, you must be one of the people of the land."

"How astute of young miss, I am indeed one of the people of the land, can you keep a secret?."

"Oh, my, what an arti..., what's the word I'm using for, ahh right, what an articulate young man you are deary, so what's the secret?."

"That, you are so beautiful, of course you can take it as a complement miss, after all you are gorgeous and stunning, truth is, I'm looking for my cousin, I think he joined this adventurers training secretly, I don't want to expose him or anything, he is just following his dream, I am just here to cheer him on."

"Ohhh, what an adorable thing to say, although your quite a flirt for one of your age, such a good boy you are, so, what's the name of your cousin?."

"Miss Isuzu, it's such a fine weather today, but not as beautiful as you."

"Oh thank you for the compliment Rundelhous-kun."

"Found him, oh how fortunate am I to know that he is doing well, I shall take my leave and observe from afar."

"Oh, why don't you go to him?."

"While that maybe what I want, that would expose him as a non-adventure, after all, no-one would believe a five year old playing a complex game such as Elder Tales."

"Your, right, no-one would believe that he is an adventurer when you approach him, at least this game requires at least the age of 10 and above to understand its complexities, you know for a moment there I thought that your an adventurer." Maryele said eyeing me suspiciously.

"Whatever do you mean pretty onee-san, I'm just a young NPC as you adventurers call us."

"Suspicious, suspicious, hey Naotsugu, come here for a moment."

"What's is it Maryele?."

"Tell me, is is kid an NPC or an adventurer?."

"Hmm, my scan shows he is an NPC, but he has surprising many question marks."

"Why mister, surely your not implying that i am a last boss of some kind, goodness me, what has the world gotten into?, then again since the apocalypse happened, you can never know." I said as I smiled to them, it was fun messing with them.

"Okay, that's not some a child, especially an NPC should know."

"Your right Naotsugu."

"Mwahahahaha, indeed you have found the demon prince that will one day rule the theldesian continent and then earth with his insistant babbling by confusing players and NPC alike, is that what you were hoping for?." I said in deadpan and Naotsugu and Maryelle face palmed in response.

"You!, your an adventurer!."

"I'm telling you miss, I'm an NPC."

"Could've fooled me."

"Fine, I'll prove it, since you now believe I'm an adventurer, you should be able to claim that I am one when I interact with my cousin."

"Ohh, cooouuuusssiiiiiiinn!."

"Geho, Rudy-kun?, what are you doing here."

"Why, being an adventurer of course, fighting monsters leveling up and all that jazz."

"Rudy-kun, it's not nice to lie, your parents must be worried, sigh, everyone I have a confession to make, I am one of the people of the land." Rundelhous said sadly.

"What are you talking about cousin, these adult said I was an adventurer, Oh, my, they lied to me?." I said with a shocked face.

"He really is an adventurer Rundelhous-kun." Said Maryelle.

"Yes, this little runt is definitely a bonified adventurer." Said Naotsugu.

"Pfhahahahahahahahah, oh I can't take it anymore, Onee-san, Oni-san, everyone, I really am one of the people of the land."

"But I could have sworn, no, your definitely an adventurer."

"Really, there's a perfectly logical explanation for all this and I can summarize it in one word."

"See, see, he shouldn't know complicated words like that, he's definitely an adventurer, but nonetheless, let's hear it, the one word that would explain all of this."

"Reincarnation." I said to them.

"Reincarnation?."

"Reincarnation?."

"Ehhhh?."

"You've got to be kidding me." Said Naotsugu quite shocked at the sudden revelation.

"Okay, your not lying, I just got a familiar quest update, which should be impossible right now, this day just got wierder."

"Wow, Rundelhous-kun sure has an interesting cousin."

"Ehh?, what is everyone saying?, I gotta return Rudy-kun to his parents."

"That's okay cousin, my mom and dad did send me to find you, though trusting a five year old to to that kind of monumental task is beyond me."

"Fufufuhahahhaha, your cracking me up Rudy-kun, seriously though shouldn't you hide this kind of information?."

"While that would be true, I would loose the chance messing with your heads, the cute and fluffy child can only do so much to gain adventurers such as yourself trust, besides, I'm a good judge of character."

"Okay, so everyone here, I Maryele, Naotsugu, and miss Isuzu will keep you and Rundlehous-kun's secret, agreed?."

Maryele, Naotsugu and Isuzu's eyes bulged at the stats they saw. Their jaws hanging from the stats of a supposed 5 year old theldesian child.

"This is not possible!."

"Your so overpowered Rudy-kun."

"We got a jackpot Naotsugu, we are sorely lacking on man-power, this will surely boost our chances."

"What is everyone talking about?." Asked a very confused Rundelhous.

"Ooops, sorry, Rundelhous-kun I'll fill you in later, miss Maryele, we will be going now." Said Isuzu.

"Take care, well watch over Rudy-kun here."
