Farming I

Author: Farmer Alex

As a fellow human and now as an old grandpa who can't plow his fields anymore.

I've decided to slowly write my lifetime down in regards to my farmer class.

I started as a very weak kid around my 10 years, and slowly as I used a hoe to plow, my strength increased with time.

I'm not sure of the reason, but perhaps the farming titles I gained had something to do with it.

I'd do a lot of hours every day of exercise from this job and from time to time I'd get new titles, or their grades would rank up.

In the end, my status became enough for me to do my job a lot faster and consistently.

I initially started with very few cheap things.

I bought a hoe from the blacksmith, tomato seeds from the general store, and also a hat from the clothing store due to the sunlight.

I'd wake up early where the sun wasn't as intense and start plowing my fields.

Then I'd sow everything and close the holes, watering everything once I had finished.

I made a scarecrow to deal with the birds with some wood I cut from a few trees.

I remember my strength increasing from chopping trees too.

Later on, as I grew up I ended marrying and having a very cute daughter.

She asked me if we could have some plants, so at 40 years old I started harvesting plants in a different field.

It was then that I became stronger, it felt then at the age of 50 that I had mastered all the titles of farming.

The day I finished I felt my strength increasing greatly, sadly I took too long to understand the art of a farmer.

I believe that future farmers will not bother themselves reading this book as most don't know how to read.

I do hope my tale goes across so that everyone who decides to try farming, be it due to the job or not, is able to become stronger.

'Seems like there are various titles that help the status grow.'

'I'll ask mother to buy me a hoe and some seeds since she wanted to gift me a present,' I smile.

'Magic lessons, swordsmanship, fishing, and farming.'

'When I have vegetables and other things I'll start cooking and baking.'

'I'll do a bit of everything and hopefully get stronger that way.'

'Of course, reading too, it's way too fun I just can't stop it, I want to read Farming II next.'

Farming II

Author: Farmer Alexandra

My grandpa died, when I was 7 years old.

A special ceremony took place for me which also happens to every human being.

I spent my status points and my skill points, on skills that I felt would help me continue his honorable job.

I wanted to be like him, so I took the class farmer, some people call it a profession or even a job, but the real name is rank 0 farmer class.

At least that's what the system calls it, I'm not sure what the rank part means, but it doesn't matter.

I grew up following his advice he wrote in the past volume, and also from his daily teachings.

I reached the peak at the age of 30 and my mother at the age of 40.

I discovered some interesting things that allowed me to make things faster, I believe it can go even faster in the future generations.

One of them was sowing different seeds from the start and harvesting different plants.

These two will contribute with titles of their own; I believe the farmer title series requires all kinds of farming titles.

They give especially good bonuses, I at the age of 25 ended up marrying a fisherman, who'd complain about having to buy lots of worms and that was expensive.

Due to farming and plowing after harvesting, I started boxing a lot of worms that lived in my fields.

This allowed my husband Felix to increase his fishing skills earning titles a little bit faster.

The worms that lived on my fields were also bigger and fatter compared to the ones sold in the general shop.

That may have impacted his fishing as well.

I asked him to write a few notes as my grandpa did in order to help the future fishermen of our Lumen kingdom.

Humans aren't helpful to one another sadly, due to the system they seclude from each other as they try to improve alone.

The kindness of my grandpa and my own will try to change a bit of such behavior with the notes I left here.

I pray to the goddess Aria who saved us all that humans will start being friendlier to one another.

Especially the nobles, they mistreat us, peasants, way too much.

I hope the peasants from this country start learning reading and writing earlier on so that they can spend some time in the few libraries around the kingdom.

That way they'll surely improve their life status and live better than we have.

'It is a little sad to know the grandpa died, he sounded really kind in the writing he did.'

'I'm very honored to be able to read their works, I can feel the love they imbued the books with.'

'It seems like I'll be able to get worms of my own maybe even find a way to mate them.'

'Perhaps with herbs that grow along with the vegetables that I don't need.'

'To my surprise, the fisherman was her husband, it's really complicated to know when things happened without proper dates."

'From this information, I now know that there's a chance that everyone who wrote these books is already dead.'

'Being a peasant or not, it doesn't bother me, but I want a class that can help me defeat harmful beings.'

'Be them humans or monsters, I think magic could be quite interesting since I have a lot of mana.'

'There's a chance the mana I have isn't enough.'

'Hopefully, I can raise it further along with the rest of the stats by doing all sorts of things.'

'I'll try to collect all types of titles, just hope I can learn different classes ones too.'

'Even if the learning rate is slower, I'll persist and endure it!'

'I wonder what kind of training nobles do, seeing as they look down on peasants on this world.'

'They must be really strong to do; otherwise, a peasant would retaliate.'

'Let's read fishing II before I head to the river.'

Fishing II

I've been helping my wife at farming and ever since then fishing which requires a lot of strength has become easier.

Thanks to this I've felt my body agility and dexterity increase; I've been able to run faster to jump higher, to use my hands better at small works.

Believe it or not, I felt like fishing has become slightly faster!

The number of fishes caught has increased!

I've used some worms I've been getting from my wife making fishing more profitable.

I've befriended a merchant who doesn't take a big tax to sell the things I catch; the same friend also sells my wife's harvest.

I feel like catching fishes, different types of fishes, fishing in different places have all been changing me.

I'm currently 30 years old and I haven't mastered fishing nor have I found all the titles required for the fishing series, they usually complete with an (S) in front of them.

I believe the ranks go from F, E, D, C, B, A, S, not sure if it works like that to every title and skill.

This is everything I was able to understand as I spent part of my life fishing if in the future I find something else I may attempt a new book.

Even though just a tiny book of 1 page is already very expensive.

I hope the future fishermen have better luck than me.

'Seems like mana exhaust and beginner reader are maxed if what Felix the fisherman wrote is correct.'

'My wisdom seems to have taken quite a boost again, it was most likely from that second rank S title, and I have 1 intelligence now.'

'I feel like that came from the last title or the S rank of the other one, hard to know.'

'Status seems to have ranked up as well and I still have a long way to go with system library, seeing as status is level 22.'

'Let me prepare everything so I can go fishing and talk with mother about the farming tool, seeds, and a hat that I need.'
