Chapter 2:New World (2/2)
A middle man from next door said as he was walking towards Sam. His name is Michael. He is a blacksmith who lives next door to Sam.
When Sam saw him, he didn't know how to react as he knew from this body's memories that he had a very good relationship with him.
Sam forced a smile as he answered. ”I am alright Uncle Michael. Don't worry about me Argh...” by the time he finished his words he felt his wounds hurting again. His face became pale as he sweated profusely.
”Easy kid.” Michael reached him and held Sam with his hands as he was about to collapse.
”Damn it, Kid. I thought that Oliver is talking nonsense but who would have thought it's real. The wound is too deep Sam I think only the healer mage can heal you. But that costs a lot. I don't even know how you are still alive.”
”Uncle Michael please enter my room and take out the leather pouch under my bed. I will go to the healer.” Sam said enduring his pain.
Michael slowly made Sam lay on the floor and made his way into the house. After some time, he came back with a leather pouch in his hands.
”Sam, I don't think you can go alone just wait a bit I will get my pushcart. I will take you to the healer.”
After saying that, Michael went to his house and came back with a pushcart which he used to transfer his blacksmith products and materials.
He carefully carried Sam and lay him on the cart and kept his leather pouch beside him and started pushing the cart. At this time, Sam slowly started losing his consciousness.
Sam slowly open his eyes only to see a ceiling made of stones. ”Oh, you are awake.” somebody said suddenly.
Sam startled due to the sudden voice after he turned towards the direction which from which the voice came there, he saw a middle-aged man carrying a leather pouch with him then he recognized immediately that the leather pouch belongs to himself.
The man came towards the bed and gave back his leather pouch then said. ”This is your leather pouch, I took my treatment fee, the rest is within the pouch.”
Sam opened the pouch there he saw 2 stones size of a quail egg.
”You can leave when you feel that you are ok.” The middle-aged man said. Suddenly the door opened and Michael came in.
”Oh, you are finally awake. How are you feeling now?” Michael asked Sam.
”I am ok uncle; I think I just need some rest,” Sam said.
”Actually, I heard about you from Oliver. He said you are already dead in the Woods. That's why I came to check your house whether he is lying or not.
But when I came you are already back and you are injured. But thank God you are okay. What happened exactly kid?” Michael asked.
”I was really hit by the bull uncle but now I am okay. I don't why, but by the time I got there to collect the cocoons a bull madly rushed towards me and hit me. Even I don't know how I survived.” Sam replied. He didn't see any reason for revealing it was done intentionally so he kept quiet.
”Uncle Michael I would like to rest if you don't mind.” Sam Said
”Ok kid, don't worry about anything else, just take some rest. goodbye I will visit you again”
After Michael left Sam kept staring at the ceiling and tried to understand the situation he is in. According to the memories of the original owner of the body, right now he is in a place called desolate land which is a part of the Western continent.
In this world, Technology is not that developed compared to Modern Earth. The people took a completely different path of development because of special circumstances, which is the presence of spiritual energy.
In this world, there is a special kind of energy present everywhere in the atmosphere. And everything is made of spiritual energy the humans here possess unimaginable strength and power by utilizing this spiritual energy. They are called cultivators.
There are two types of cultivators they are Qi cultivators and mages. The Qi cultivators use spiritual energy to develop their bodies and utilize their bodies to fight they are also called warriors whereas, the mages use spiritual energy by converting it into the form of various elements.
Right now, the middle-aged man who came earlier is also a mage and a mage of light element.
The light element mages are not much known to their combat prowess but they are most suitable for healing and are highly regarded. That's why these healers usually charge a lot.
In this world the being a mage or a warrior cannot be directly decided by people themselves. It depends on the body constitution and the spiritual core of the person.
If a person has a pure Qi core which is a solid white in color then they are most suitable for Warriors. The person who is suitable to be a Mage will have a pure elemental core.
Various types of elements indicate the various type of affinity to that particular element.
For example, if a person has a pure red color core it will be a fire element, a light blue indicates water core, pale green indicates wind, dark green indicates plants or wood, gold color indicates metal, milky white indicate light element, and so on.
Other than the pure mages or pure warriors there are other types of cultivators who have mixed core who can practice both Qi and Elements.
They are basically called 'Warrior-Mages'. When a person 14 years old their core will activate. Sam also activated his core last year but the problem is nobody could identify his core.
His core is fully transparent when he tried to absorb spiritual energy, he can absorb it easily and he can also control it well but he was unable to use it for both spells or martial arts.
So, he was not suitable for both types of cultivation so he stopped after he reached the third level Initiation stage and solely focused on his tailoring skills and achieved some significant improvements in embroidery.
That's how he was able to earn the spiritual stones in his leather pouch.
Even though they are low-grade spiritual stones they are totally high-level currency for normal people. For working hard for an entire year, he was only able to earn only five stones and three of them are already taken away by the healer as a fee for treatment.
Thinking up to this point Sam heaved a huge sigh and closed his.
”Let's have a proper sleep first think about what to do tomorrow,” Sam muttered under his breath and slowly fell asleep.
