The protagonist Kaiar, who soul-traveled and became a recovery mage with a system, begins his new life. He has memories of his past life after awakening his class at the cusp of adulthood. Fusing t...
"Okay, Anna, it's all over now."
Kyal looked at Anna, who was still somewhat shaken, and gently comforted her. After confirming that Anna was not injured, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kayal, um... thank you for saving me."
Anna gradually came to her senses, and after realizing what had happened, she anxiously looked Kyal up and down, asking with concern:
"Honestly, you're still a child and you're already acting so recklessly. Did you get hurt anywhere after falling down?"
There was actually no injury anywhere.
When he fell, Kyal protected his head immediately and rolled a few times after landing to absorb the impact. Apart from a slight pain in his left shoulder when he first hit the ground, he was not seriously injured.
"I'm fine, don't worry, Anna."
As he said this, Kyal patted his chest forcefully to indicate that he was alright.
At this moment, other villagers from the surrounding area also gathered around.
Everyone praised Kyal for his heroic act of saving Miss Anna, but at the same time criticized him for acting recklessly.
"You've always said you wanted to become a hero to help everyone, but if it were you, Kyal, you might actually become a hero."
Anna smiled and looked at Kyal with some relief. This child she had watched grow up had truly grown into a man.
"Hey, Kyal, aren't you afraid of those ferocious monsters?" asked Einz, a burly villager who was proud of his strength. He had been quite frightened by the monster attack earlier.
"Actually, I was also very scared, but when I saw Miss Anna in danger, I didn't care about anything else and my body rushed forward on its own."
Kyal responded with a grin, scratching his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
However, this is a lie.
Having absorbed the memories of the first playthrough, the pain and fear brought about by countless "recoveries" had long since numbed Kyal's soul to pain and fear.
On their journey to defeat the Demon King with the other three heroes, they often encountered attacks from monsters. They had even seen the more ferocious monster, Kaiyal. Compared to that, this stone mole was really a small fry.
Moreover, by replicating the experiences of countless adventurers through [Restore], Kyal knows the weaknesses of this monster and how to defeat it.
Therefore, Kyal did not feel fear; on the contrary, he remained very calm at that time.
"That's really impressive!"
"Kayal, you're really brave."
Everyone, including Anna, praised the brave Kyal again, and Kyal looked embarrassed by the praise.
"Oh, right, Anna, that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."
Kyal adopted a serious expression and looked firmly at Anna.
"What's up?"
Anna and the others looked puzzled.
"I need to go out for a while. In seven days I will be an adult and awaken my class. I want to go to a nearby town to buy an appraisal certificate to have it appraised."
Humans cannot directly see their awakened class and status; they must use expensive magical items like appraisal papers to observe them.
Therefore, ordinary people who want to become adventurers will spend a lot of money to buy appraisal papers when they come of age. These expensive magical items can only be bought in towns, and they are definitely not available in small villages like the one where Kyal lives.
However, this was also a lie. Kayal's next goal was to go to the point in the forest that connected with the Elf World to obtain the [Eye of the Elf].
Thanks to the acting skills he honed in the first playthrough to disguise himself after regaining consciousness, Kyal lies as casually as eating and drinking; his acting is flawless.
No one said much upon hearing this; everyone in the village knew that Kaiyal wanted to become a hero.
"The identification papers are very expensive, Kyal. Do you have enough money?"
Anna was probably still a little worried, so she asked if Kyal would contribute some of her savings to help make up the difference if he said he was short of money.
"Of course, I save some of the money I make from selling apples every year."
Kyal responded with a smile, saying that in reality, the income from the apple orchard was barely enough for Kyal to make ends meet, and he had no savings whatsoever.
"Okay, be careful on the way."
Anna still gave a worried word of advice.
"Don't worry."
Kyal smiled and nodded to Anna to reassure her, then headed towards the apple orchard.
After picking some apples from the orchard to eat in the forest for the next few days, Kyal wiped them clean and put them into his cloth bag. Inside the bag were also a water bag and a tinderbox. The water in the bag would quench his thirst, and the tinderbox would be used to start a fire and make torches for lighting at night.
After making preparations, Kyal shouldered his bag and looked back at the orchard as he left.
The lush fruit trees were laden with bright red apples, a legacy left by Kyal's parents.
"I probably won't be coming back..."
Kyal muttered something under his breath, then left without hesitation.
I can't stay here forever, so I'll just be an ordinary fruit farmer.
My goal is something much bigger.
I will travel through infinite worlds, leaving my footprints and legends, living a better life, doing what I want to do, and having a carefree and unrestrained life.
