Chapter 6: Chapter 6 – New Home

Daichi and Kensei stepped out of the restaurant after paying the bill and headed in a new direction. “Why don't we get you some new clothes? I can tell those hand me downs are not really your type. Come on.” Both the old man and young boy walked leisurely. 

Kensei had a serene smile as he watched young Daichi take in the different sights. Daichi was looking around everywhere in wonder and using his observe skill on everything. His ’Observe’ has leveled up even further and after checking out the level of several shinobi that passed by him, he came to a conclusion.

‘Hmm… So I can see the level of someone up to 45 levels above mine. And the higher the level the less information. I can't read the level or stats of any of the shinobi wearing a chunin vest. Does that mean most chunin are above level 48? The highest levels I’ve read until now are Miss Aiko with level 47 and another teenager that just passed by with level 48.’ 

‘But his description said he was someone who’s been a genin for 6 years. But Aiko’s description said she was a chunin... So that means there might be people with stats way beyond what their level shows.’ 

‘Thinking about it, that makes sense. Rock Lee with his gates opened would have his physical stats boosted much further than someone of his same level. Ok I definitely shouldn't underestimate anyone, even if they are the same level or even a few below me.’

Due to making a logical and smart decision, you have obtained +1 WIS.

‘Huh. So it agrees with me. Wait, is this system alive? Are you alive?’  Daichi shouted in his mind. After several seconds of silence and no reply, Daichi felt like a fool for thinking the system could talk back and answer his questions like a person could.

 “We’re here.” 

Daichi was taken out of his thoughts when he heard Kensei speak. They were in front of a clothing store that was designed with several colors. One could see the different types of outfits in the store from the road through the glass window at the front. The name of the store was ‘Hinshitsu.’

Kensei opened the door of the shop and it rang a bell. He stepped inside followed by Daichi. As soon as he stepped inside a notification appeared.

You have found a clothing outlet. Quest progression (2/7)

‘Nice. Only 5 more to go for the next level.’ 

As they went inside a girl in her late teens greeted them. She was wearing a dress that made her look elegant and beautiful. She had brunette hair that was tied in a bun and was wearing pink lipstick. She had a slender figure and had a beautiful smile on her face. 

“Hello. Welcome to Hinshitsu. My name is Ichika. How can I help you today?” 

'Observe'

[LV. 8][Ichika Kentaro]

Age: 18

HP: 812.  CP:188

[Ichika Kentaro is the daughter of Massimo Kentaro. She is currently an employee of the clothing store Hinshitsu. She is a single woman with aspirations of owning her own designer clothing line in the future. She is an average person with no other noticeable aspects.] 

Daichi used ‘observe’ and the system showed no interesting facts about the girl. However that didn't mean he would be impolite when talking to her.

"Hello young one, we're here to buy some clothes for my grandson." Kensei said with a smile.

She looked at Kensei and then at Daichi. She had a cute smile. 

"Aww what an adorable grandson. Follow me." 

She turned around and led them to a section of the store that sold children's clothes. 

"What color do you like?" She asked.

"Green and maybe something in black and red." Daichi replied.

She had a tape and took Daichi's measurements and went to get him a few options. 

Kensei sat in a nearby chair watching the boy. He still remembered the answer the boy gave him. His ambition resonated with Kensei. He closed his eyes and began to reminisce about his past. He didn't know how much time had passed as the memories came and went, but was brought to the present when someone tapped his shoulder. 

He opened his eyes. He saw Daichi in a new outfit. The kid was wearing a light green shirt with black trousers. 

"So how do I look?" 

Daichi wanted to know Kensei's opinion. "Good. They suit you." He got up from his chair and paid the bill and both of them left. 

"Let's go home." Kensei said as he started walking in the direction of his house. Daichi followed him. 

After about a 15 minute walk they reached a large gate. There was a 2 storey house beyond it, situated inside a modest compound surrounded by tall trees. There was a garden in the front with various flowers of all colors growing, but most of them were withered or dying. There was also weed growing amongst them. 

Kensei placed his right hand on the gate on a specific design and pushed a tiny amount of chakra. The gate opened on its own, neither too fast nor too slow. After they both walked past the gate, it slowly closed on its own. 

"Wow. That's cool. How did it do that?" Daichi asked.

The old man had a smirk when he heard the question. He replied "An elegant but simple sealing jutsu. If you plan on becoming the strongest then it's a branch of jutsu you're gonna have to study."

When Daichi heard it, he was excited. He could imagine all the possibilities with sealing jutsus once he mastered it. Both of them went inside the house. 

Daichi noted that it was modeled after a traditional Japanese house. It had wooden verandas circling all around with sliding doors. The floor was covered in tatami mats. When he stepped into the room he noted that it had minimal furniture. Quite different from his apartment in his old life. Both of them stepped into the living room. 

"Welcome to your new home." Kensei said happily. "Thanks Gramps." Daichi replied. 

"That's the first time you've acknowledged me as your grandfather."

"It is, isn't it? I'm gonna stick with it."

"Although I do prefer you call me grandpa."

"Hmm" Daichi mulled for a few seconds and gave a reply. " Naw. I like 'Gramps' much more."

"Cheeky brat."

Both of them had a smirk. "Come on. I'll show you to your room." Kensei led Daichi upstairs to another room. 

He slid open the door. It was a simple room with a bed, a table and chair, a full length mirror and an empty shelf. A small closet and a bathroom attached to it. And a window that showed the back of the house. All in all, a comfortable room to live in for someone like Daichi. 

"Hmm. It's almost noon. Get settled and come down in an hour. I'll have something to eat by then. Oh and… Happy Birthday kid." He said with a gentle smile and went downstairs leaving the boy alone. 

Daichi got inside and closed the door behind him as he contemplated his situation. He realized the absurdity of the whole thing. Reborn into a fictional world and getting adopted on the same day. He realized that the gamers mind was keeping him from freaking out. He once again reminded himself that this was his second chance and a way forward.

Closing his eyes he took a deep breath and let it out after a few seconds. When he opened his eyes he had a metaphorical fire lit in them. "Let's begin." 

He quickly unpacked his belongings and arranged them. Everything was quickly done in a few minutes. He was ready to find out more about his gamer ability. "First things first. Let me check out my stats "

 

'Status'. He said in his mind.

Name : Daichi Hekima (The Gamer)

Class : Civilian

Age    : 5

Title   : Capable Child

Level  : 3 (0/1000)

 

HP : 195

CP : 155

SP : 100 

 

Primary Stats

Strength - 5

Vitality - 4

Dexterity - 3

Agility - 4

Intelligence - 10

Chakra - 3

Wisdom - 9

 

Special Stats - Locked (To see the special stats at least one of them must be unlocked. Unlocking these stats require certain actions or reaching specific conditions. Different stats are unlocked with different methods.)

Stat Points - 25

Ryo - 0

'Alright. I only need to think of the options and it appears. Excellent.'

'Hmm. Wisdom increased by 2. Need to find a way to unlock the special stats quickly. I expected the health and chakra bars at the top. But what's the third? SP. Does it stand for stamina points? Hmm. That must be it. I have 25 points. So I must have had 15 stat points at the beginning and 5 points with each level up.… I think… Need to check just how many points I get from each level up.’

‘Since I can increase stat points by training, I won't spend them now since they will be difficult to increase when they reach a high enough number and even if I do, it won't be for the next few days. But before I spend any stat points I need to figure out what exactly my stats do to my body and what exactly they increase.'

Daichi looked at the 7 different stats. 'Alright the strength stat is pretty obvious, it increases the strength of the body. I'm assuming vitality would increase my health points and stamina points.’ 

‘I am pretty sure that agility stat is the one that increases speed so dexterity must help me with something else. Chakra stat increases the chakra points. So does increasing intelligence stat just gives me more intelligence or does it do more? Maybe a photographic memory?’

‘Questions for later. And finally wisdom. I already know this is the stat that helps me with making better decisions. I remember that in the original gamer story, logical and smarter decisions gave stat points to intelligence.’

‘But mine was allocated to wisdom stat. It seems my gamer ability is a bit different from the one Han had. So more wisdom equals smarter decisions. Hmm... This might help me in games like shogi or go or chess... Do they even have chess in this world?? Again, questions for later. Alright, next up Inventory.'

'Inventory'

A box with empty slots appeared before Daichi. He had a lot of things to experiment on with the inventory skill. He wanted to know if he could store living creatures and if time was frozen inside the storage dimension. Right now the box showed nothing but empty slots. 

Daichi took an outfit and brought them on top of the window and watched it disappear. Knowing that it was going to happen and watching it happen were two different things. 

He took them out of his inventory to see what it felt like and put them back in again. He decided he needed to buy a few things to do more experiments and see the limitations of the inventory ability. 

'Let's see… What’s next?'
