Life in Kaer Morhen is very simple. Motivated by the system rewards, Wayne concentrates on various demon hunter training every day.

The feeling of seeing his strength grow little by little through hard work almost made him forget about food and sleep.

This monotonous yet fulfilling life makes time pass quickly, and in almost the blink of an eye, it goes from summer to early winter.

Counting the time, it has been almost four months since he came into this world.

Wayne did not waste any of these four months. In addition to significant improvements in his various skills, he completed an ordinary-level training task from his mentor Vesemir almost every day.

Wayne (14 years old) Occupation: Demon Hunter Level: Level 3 (63/300)

Ability value: 2 points

Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 20, Constitution 17, Spirit 20.

Skills: Swordsmanship LV2, Magic Sign LV2, Gene Mutation LV1.

Special Bloodline: Ancient Blood (weak, unawakened) requires ten ability points to activate.

Subsidiary skills: Archery LV1, Cooking LV3, Planting LV1.

After four months of hard work, Wayne not only mastered the combat capabilities of the demon hunter, but most importantly, his demon hunter profession was upgraded by two levels.

Not only did he gain an improvement in his physical fitness with all attributes increased by two, but he also gained two precious ability points.

According to the instructions given by the system, ability points are extremely valuable. They can be used as attribute points to improve physical attributes, or as skill points to improve skill levels.

The system also prompts that when each skill is upgraded to the threshold level of level 5, level 10, and level 15, ability points can be used to unlock special professional expertise.

This made Wayne very excited, and he kept saving his ability points, waiting to use them later.

That evening, Wayne left the castle of Kaer Morhen in a happy mood after finishing his daily physical training as usual.

As a member of the Foodie Empire, in addition to daily training, his favorite thing is to get some wild game ingredients around the castle and add some dishes for himself and Vesemir.

The stream less than 300 meters away from the castle is a very good collecting location.

As the closest water source to Kaer Morhen, Wayne not only set up several fishing traps along the river, often catching small fish and shrimps, but also cultivated a vegetable garden on a flat land not far from the river.

In his previous life, he was a child from the countryside. Although he was not a professional in growing vegetables, he was able to do it quite well after learning from others.

The old witcher Vesemir was very surprised by his behavior and even joked that he might be the first witcher in thousands of years who liked to be a farmer.

But Wayne didn't care about it. Life in the Middle Ages was too hard. If he didn't add some fun to his life, the long life of a witcher would be too boring.

Just as he was walking towards the castle, carrying a few small fish on a straw rope and picking some vegetables from the vegetable garden.

A slightly heavy sound of footsteps suddenly came into his hearing range.

Wayne was shocked, thinking that a water ghost had accidentally come here along the stream.

He quickly put down the food in his hand, pulled out the unopened steel sword from his back, and headed towards the direction where the sound came from, assuming a witcher sword-fighting posture.

At this time, Wayne had not yet officially started his apprenticeship and did not have his own silver sword.

However, more than 20 meters away, what caught his eye was not the expected water ghost, but a man wearing light armor of the Wolf School and carrying two swords.

He was leading a dark brown horse, to which were tied some huge packages.

The man was handsome, with a weathered temperament, white silver hair, several scars on his face and a pair of golden animal eyes.

Seeing Wayne, the handsome man forced a slightly stiff smile on his expressionless face and said in a hoarse voice: "Long time no see, Wayne."

However, when he saw the pair of animal eyes unique to a demon hunter on Wayne's face, he was stunned at first, and then the smile on his face became more friendly.

"By the way, where are the other children?"

When Wayne saw this handsome demon hunter, he recognized who he was through his memory at just one glance.

He is the protagonist of The Witcher series of novels and The Witcher game trilogy, the most legendary demon hunter of the Wolf School in the future, the warlock pile driver, Gwent the gambling king, and Geralt of Rivia.

However, these future events have not happened yet. At this time, Geralt has not even met Yennefer, and Ciri, the girl of destiny who will stir up the forces of all parties in the future, is not even an embryo now.

They were all Vesemir's apprentices, so Geralt of course knew Wayne. However, before, Wayne was like other children. Because they were too young and had spent too little time together, they were not very familiar with Geralt.

When Wayne heard White Wolf asking about other children, he immediately said with a little sadness:

"They didn't make it through the final test. I was the only one who survived."

Geralt's eyes darkened when he heard this, but he quickly recovered. He looked towards Kaer Morhen Castle, patted his mount, and said to Wayne:

"Don't dwell too much on the past, Wayne."

"This is fate's choice, no one can change it."

"I brought back a lot of food and supplies. I will spend the winter in the castle this year."

"Let's have a big meal tonight."

Wayne actually had no impression of the other children, let alone any sadness.

He picked up the vegetables and fish from the ground again, showed them off to Geralt, and said with a smile:

"Just in time. I haven't seen you for half a year. My cooking skills are no longer the same as before."

"Tonight, I'll show you my cooking skills."

………………

The Great Hall of Kaer Morhen Keep at night.

Wayne, Vesemir, and Geralt were enjoying dinner around a dining table.

Braised chicken pieces, smoked grilled fish, beef stewed with potatoes and red wine, plus several kinds of fresh green vegetables filled the entire table, making it a very sumptuous dinner.

After running all the way through the mountain roads for several days, Geralt swallowed the food in his mouth. An expression of enjoyment appeared on his expressionless face, and he couldn't help but praise, "This is the most delicious side dish I have ever eaten."

"Compared to you, the dishes cooked by those so-called tavern chefs with beards are just shit."

Vesemir drank a sip of the cold beer Geralt brought back and said with emotion:

"Yes, Geralt."

"Wayne is the most talented kid I've ever met."

"It's not just his cooking skills. After the Green Grass Trial, both his magic seals and swordsmanship are improving at an astonishing rate."

"I think that in a few years, he may become the strongest demon hunter among us."

Geralt was very surprised to hear this, as he knew very well that Vesemir was a conservative man and would not lie about this.

But I didn’t expect that as the grand master of the Wolf School, he was so optimistic about Wayne’s future development.
