Seeing my progress, I think it would take another day of training before I could reach the next stage. So I went back to my hut and slept, thinking about the future and the next day.
I woke up next, and just like yesterday, I continued my routine. After eating with children, I went out to my job.
Reaching the bakery, I greeted Grandma Rose, who, as usual sitting on the counter. I went towards her wanting to take her position as now it is my time to sit in the counter and do the job, but she stopped me and said, "Ryuk, don't worry about the counter, I will sit. For now, you go to the kitchen and make pizza just like yesterday, because I have decided to promote you, now you are not just a salesperson but the chief of this bakery, you are already familiar with the kitchen, so get started."
I also nodded after hearing her command, now getting orders from Grandma Rose, I went towards the kitchen, making Pizza as usual.
Soon, the sales skyrocketed, and before I knew it, all of the stocks of pizza got sold out. Even the flour and vegetables got finished, so seeing this, Grandma Rose decided to close the bakery for today. It was just 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so I went back towards my home.
Soon, I reached home at 3 o'clock. Entering my hut, I saw Yuki explaining something to the children, as the children they are asking her to practice martial arts outside. I sighed, looking at them, and said, "Okay, everyone, now that I came early, let's play outside."
Hearing this, all of them looked at me as if I had said something wrong. I felt confused because of their reaction, but Yuki came to my rescue and said, "Brothers and sisters, he is talking about practicing martial arts."
Yuki's voice resulted in cheers from those children, so we all went out. Normally, I would have liked these children to keep a low profile and stay inside the hut, but I can not keep them in a closed door for much time, as it is not good for their health. Children need to spend most of their time outside, in the open sky, and it is adults' responsibility to give them a safe place.
So I went outside, and getting outside, we went towards that same tree where I practice at night. My hut is situated in a clearing. Further away from it are some fields of farmers, and further from it is a forest. So we had enough space to play, Yuki and I sat in the shade of a tree, and she said to the children, "Alright, everyone do warm-up while I talk with Ryuk about something."
Saying she told me, "Ryuk, why did you tell them to play?"
Confused, I asked, "Did you guys not play outside?"
Yuki: "No, our precious time should be spent on martial arts and study, playing would only waste our time; we should rather spend that time refining our techniques and movements."
Hearing her words, I remembered that this world is a chaotic world where martial arts is the only way to secure a good future, just like some parents in my previous world want their children to study from a young age, here parents also want children to practice martial arts as early as possible.
After that, those children do some warm-up and start doing movements of Basic Kick and Boxing technique from time to time. Yuki corrected their form. But for those children, maintaining those hard movements and positions is very difficult, despite the fact that they kept working, sweat forming on their heads, starting to drip on the ground, and even their clothes got wet with sweat.
I felt a little bad for them, as these children should have enjoyed their childhood, but now they are sweating just to practice martial arts, something that has an uncertain future for them.
Just then, I saw something; despite it still being day, I saw threads of light around those children. These are the same threads of light that I saw while training; the Light of truth is acting on them as well. Seeing this, I also joined Yuki in teaching those children, now seeing the Light of Truth, I just guided their movements in accordance with the light.
Soon their movement got better, even Yuki got surprised. She said that these children have done one week's worth of improvement in martial arts in a single day. I felt proud about it, but there is something that even I am confused about, despite my teaching them, these children did show some progress in learning after my guidance.
I asked the system about it, and it told me.
"YOUR MAJESTY, THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE BEACON OF TRUTH, THE BEACON OF TRUTH ACTS EVEN TO THOSE AROUND YOU OR GUIDED BY YOU. SHOWING THEM A WAY FORWARD IN THEIR DESIRED PATH."
I understood system words and now knowing that these children can progress just like me, once guided by me, I decided something, I told all of them to try something new, and after that, I told them to play.
Now, Yuki and all those children are playing a game of hide and seek. There is still an hour before evening, so I decided to relax a bit with everyone.
But something happened just before the fall of evening, Kevin, the boy with blue eyes and black hair, screamed from his hiding position. Getting alerted by his scream, Yuki and I ran towards his location. Yuki ran like a cheetah and reached him first.
Soon, I also got to that place, and I reached there and saw Kevin hugging Yuki while crying. She is consoling him as he got scared, his eyes followed towards the thing that scared him. I myself got surprised after seeing it, in front of me, hidden behind the shades of bushes half buried in ground is ground, is a skeleton.
Other children also came to see it, but I stopped them and told Yuki to take them home while I handled this situation. She did as I said and went towards the hut with the other children. Now, looking at the half-buried skeleton, I decided to bury him. The clothes around this skeleton suggest that he is a male. I dug a pit to bury him near the forest, as I don't want a grave near my home.
After that I dragged him their, by the way the old man who is the original owner of hut and who helped me, is also burred here as he tole me to bury him near this clearing in forest, this was supposed to be his village before it became a town, he told me that hut is situated above his family's farm the only thing he left of them as all other things where taken away from him, robbed by his distant relatives.
Burying that corpse, I find a diary with him, and reading it a bit, I found a letter in it which read.
Hi stranger.
If you are reading this, I am already dead.
My name is Roby, I'm nothing but a poor vagabond who got lucky and got some encounters, getting on the path of magic. Just like martial arts, magic is also a path in this world, but it is not much appreciated because of the high resources and other things.
To tell you in short, I am a magician, a real one. But there was a problem: the path I followed required fewer resources but came with hidden dangers. I am basically a necromancer, someone who raises the dead to do his bidding.
Due to my path being related to death, I sometimes get destructive impulses. But I controlled in several ways, so I'm not important. Recently, I came to Ashborn city, deciding to settle down in it after all. I have almost mastered the way to control my impulses, and with my money and power, I could have made a pretty decent family in this city.
Then something happened, in the city lord's house, I saw something, a treasure that changed my mind. But that is not important, and I don't want you to go after that treasure, as it would be worthless. The things behind him are not the small things we could ever fathom.
Due to my mind being corrupted by greed, I waged a war with the city lord, and ultimately, I ended up here.
This was my story, the story of a poor orphan boy who luckily found a necromancer master becoming stronger in his life, only to die at the hands of someone far stronger.
If you found my body along with a diary, then please bury it in a good place. I don't want to rot on the roadside. I did not ask you this for free. In my breast pocket, you will find a few gold coins and a technique.
The coins are some money, but the technique is something that I treasured with my life. It is the technique to raise the dead that made me a necromancer. If you have talent in it, then follow this path and become stronger, and change your fate, but be cautious about the mental pollution it brings along with power.
Thank you for reading, and thanks for burying me if you did it.
A poor necromancer.
The letter ended, and reading it, I realized the whole story of this person, so, checking his breast pocket, I took out five gold coins and a parchment. I placed the gold coins in my pocket and buried him. After that, I took out the parchment it is written in some complex language, but I was able to understand the first few words it says.
"Dead Rising"
This must be the name of the technique.
