Chapter 2: Preparing

...

I was born in a small village at the corner of the human territory. My father was a farmer, he owned a plantation of tomatoes and provided them for the whole village. So all the money in our family came from his side. My mother was more of a house-wife, she took care of me while my father worked on the field. Even if my father was sometimes strict, hitting me even when I had done something not so bad, I knew he cared about me, as I was his only son.

Not that I didn't have the impulse of punching him the first time he did hit me though...

The village was surrounded by unbelievably high walls made out of planks and bricks, making this tiny village look more like a prison. Also in every corner of the village there was a vigilance tower, probably for archers to attack enemies from the distance or to defend the village from bandits. As for how tall the wall was, it should probably be at least 14 meters high...

For such a small village to have this much security... 

Looks like they really wanted to keep away whatever was on the outside world...

They even had rules like:

-All villagers must be inside their homes at night.

-Going outside the village is allowed only to the adults and just during daytime.

-The Gate must not be opened unless there's an emergency.

...

There must have been more rules, but at least they didn't mention them in all the conversations I overheard.

They also planted sunflowers all around the village, and if I remember correctly, sunflowers prevented the generation of monsters in the game, I guess it's kinda similar here?

They must be really scared from the monsters huh...

It's not like zombies are that strong either, they are just living corpses that can barely stand... right?

Maybe they are scared from the demon eyes?

Those guys are pretty tanky without good weapons, and these fellas in the village don't look like they have much to attack with, maybe some iron swords, and wooden bows, But that's it...

Sigh...

Either way, going out of the village was impossible, and it was probably gonna be impossible for a few years until I become an adult...

So basically, it was also impossible for me to start gathering resources properly because I couldn't go outside and start chopping down trees nor mining stone...

I could just gather wood from small branches and stone from small rocks scattered on the floor all around the village.

...

So... I think will have to start my journey with a wooden sword

Great...

It was for some reason better than the copper shortsword anyways... So no complaints.

Maybe I am hurrying a bit too much thinking on how to leave this village already.

After all it's not like I can move in this body of mine anyways, I am still a baby, and the only thing I could do right now is to barely move my head and do small baby noises.

Also, it seemed that my name in this new life was "Aspen" and not "Aeron". Not that I dislike the new name, but it certainly won't imprint fear in the hearts of my enemies when they hear my name.

Hmm... talking about imprinting fear in the hearts of my enemies...

...Maybe becoming an Evil Lord was not a bad idea?

*Knock-Knock-Knock*

While I was still lost in my imagination thinking on what to do in the future, my mother opened the door and entered the room with a smile on her face...

"Ooh Aspen~..."

Hmm?!

Oh no... The moment has arrived...!

"Time to eat~"

I've never received such humiliation, you may have thought that I enjoyed seeing the bountiful mountains of my new mother, but since the first time I saw her my mind erased all thoughts regarding incest.

Never liked it...

I'm a grown man and I know my own moralistic codes!

"Open your moooouuuth~"

...

I hate being a baby

2 Years Later...

"Sigh..."

I sighed while looking towards the clouds in the sky with a tired face. it actually must look pretty funny to see a 2 years old brat sighing like he had many problems to deal with and is unsatisfied with his life...

But I REALLY had problems to deal with.

First take a look at this.
