‘What about Tagala?’ Sai asked and ate a piece of meat.‘I refuse in his place,’ Matara said, and everyone laughed.‘Thank you,’ the stranger said.‘Hmph, then Satre?’‘I don’t like that one,’‘What if we call him Jarel (Jar’el)?’ the chief said.‘Jarel is nice,’ the stranger said.‘You like it because someone other than me gave you,’ Sai pouted.‘Can you stop with the emotional blackmail? I have to decide what I like and don't like.’‘Fine, we’ll call you Jarel,’ Sai said, still pouting.‘You are something else, you know,’ Jarel said.‘What?’ Sai asked, but he didn’t reply. ‘I have had my fill. I’ll be taking my leave,’ the chief said.‘It was an honor to have you eat with us,’ Naru bowed and said.‘Please come again, chief,’ Matara said.‘We’ll see, young Sai,’ the chief said.‘I promise, chief, it won’t happen again,’ Sai said, bowing.‘Good, guest please try to ignore her,’ the chief said.‘I plan to,’ Jarel said.‘Hmph,’ Sai turned her head away angrily.The chief left and
~A Month Later~ ‘Let’s go, we can’t let it get away,’ Sai yelled, jumping down from a tree.‘Sai wait,’ Naru yelled.His shout fell on deaf ears as she ran after her prey quickly.‘Sigh, she still hasn’t gotten over that yet,’ Rina said.‘Why are you girls so independent? It’s not a bad thing but sometimes it’s good to share your problems with your love ones,’ Naru said patting her head.‘Dad, I got it, come carry it,’ Sai’s voice sounded from afar.‘I’m coming,’ Naru said and rushed over. Sai was sitting on the ground. Beside her was a dead deer. She held her bow tightly and was lost in thoughts.‘Are you alright?’ Rina asked. Startled, Sai smiled immediately.‘Yeah, I’m good. I got a minor wound,’ she said and raised her bleeding left hand.‘That’s just a scratch. Apply mom’s herb to it,’ Rina said.‘Yeah I will,’ Sai said.‘We should head back when you are done. This is the second big one told. It would be enough,’ Naru said, raising the deer and placing it on his should
‘Come on relax, dad said he is a shaman he won’t die from a disease, right?’ she said and rushed into the kitchen.She grabbed a bowl, filled it with water, and rushed back to her room. The stranger seems to have fallen asleep. She bent down and placed her ear closed to nose.‘His breathing is weak. Please don’t die,’ she said pleadingly.She picked up a napkin, soaked it in water and after squeezing it, she placed it on his head.‘Mom should have some medicine, right?’ she said, looking around. ‘But what if I give him something poisonous? Let's wait for mom,’ She took the napkin, soaked it in water and squeezed it before placing it back on his head. She looked out the window and then back.‘Mom, please come back,’ she muttered.The stranger raised his right hand to his forehead and removed the napkin before dropping it on the bed.‘Hey don’t do that, leave it… huh?’ Sai said and paused.She had picked the napkin and placed it back, but she was shocked to find out he wasn’t burnin
~In Sai’s Room~ Sai sat down on the ground and rested her back on the wall, waiting patiently for the stranger to wake up. She stayed as far as possible with her body covered with the bed cover meant to cover the stranger. Close to the stranger was a small bowl with fruits in it. After waiting hours, the stranger finally woke up. The stranger looked around before sitting up on the bed, curling up his body and resting on the wall. He looked towards Sai and stared for a while before looking away.‘Does he know I’m here?’ Sai thought.After looking round the room again, the stranger stared at the bowl close to him and then stared in Sai’s direction again. He didn’t look away this time and kept staring. Several minutes passed, and he still didn’t look away. Sai realized he knew. She raised the cover from her body. Immediately, the stranger hid his face in his knees. Sai frowned and covered herself back. After a short while, the stranger raised his face and looked at her.‘Wha
~Two Days Later~ ‘Oh you are awake, how do you feel?’ Matara asked, walking towards him from the window.The person on the bed turned towards her and then closed his eyes and turned away.‘It’s alright, you can open your eyes,’ Matara said.The person shook his head and raised his left arm to cover his face.‘I’m serious, you don’t have to,’ Matara said calmly.The person raised the bed cover; made of animal skin, and covered his head. Speechless, Matara stood, not knowing what to do.‘I want to apologize for what my daughter did. She didn’t mean it, she was just scared. Please, I hope you forgive her,’ she said, helplessly.But the person didn’t bulge, he just laid there with his entire body covered. ‘You must be hungry. I’ll get you something to eat,’ she said and still got no reply.She stepped out of the room and came back some minutes later with some food.‘Here you go,’ she said.The person didn’t reply or move, just laid there.‘Please make sure you eat when you’re
~In A Remote Village~ ‘Hey mom, we are back,’ two young ladies shouted.They each dropped a dead animal in front of a wooden house.‘Oh welcome back Rina, welcome back Sai. It seems your hunt today went well. Where is your dad?’ a woman asked as she stepped out.‘He went deeper into the forest to hunt. You know that area is dangerous, so he told us to return first,’ Rina said.‘Okay, Tanila, come let’s dress these,’ the woman yelled.‘Coming mom,’ a voice answered as a little girl ran out of the house. ‘Girls, it’s almost that time of the year,’ the woman said to the two young ladies.‘Yeah, the gods will pick a new protector. I hope I get chosen,’ Sai said happily.‘Not that Sai, mom meant the bridal ritual,’ Rina said.‘Oh, I don’t care about that,’ Sai said, pouting.‘No, the two of you need to get married, and have your own families,’ the woman said.‘Mom, I don’t want to get married, beside I grew up with the young men in the village. How do I marry who I see as a brothe
…Their journey forward was smooth. They arrived at the big sect in a few days, all thanks to the speed of Raphael’s artifact. After getting directions, they set off towards the portal which was calculated to eight months away, even with Raphael’s artifact. Two months on the way, Fuyi advanced to the fourth stage Nascent Soul and Huno formed a third star force and increased in strength. He could finally connect with Hacel, and to his surprise, Hacel seemed to be different.‘What’s going on?’ he thought.He brought out the boat and brought everyone out before going in.‘When was there ever a lake here?’ he asked himself while hovering above a small lake.He flew over to land and sat down, crossed his legs and connected with the entire Hacel.‘No way, why is there such a change?’ he asked happily. ‘Is it related to my cultivation now? I wonder what it would be like when I reach a very high realm?’ he said with a smile on his face.Huno discovered the change in Hacel was a good thing. In
~A Month Later~ ‘Still no sign of a city or a sect. Are you sure there are humans in this realm?’ Raphael asked.‘I don’t know,’ Huno said, opening his eyes.‘How’s your cultivation going?’‘Can’t seem to form a core so I’m unable to enter the foundation realm,’ Huno replied and stood up to stretch. ‘The energy in my body is enough to form a bronze core, but every time I try, it doesn’t work. So I’m stuck in the Er realm,’ he added.‘Oh tough luck boy,’‘Maybe this was a bad idea,’ ‘Maybe, but what if you forget about forming a core?’‘What do you mean?’‘You are trying a new thing but following the old method. Why don’t you try a new method and just keep absorbing the nature essence into your body,’‘Okay, you don’t think what I’m doing is stupid?’‘Why would I? I’m an artifact refiner. I usually try new methods for refining artifact,’‘The current cultivation way was learnt by someone and taught to others. Who knows, you’ll be able to do that,’ Raphael added.Huno nodded a
‘Ah,’ Huno opened his eyes and weakly got up.He breathed heavily and looked around; he seems to be in a forest. Raphael and Star appeared beside him and both were in a daze for a while.‘Are you alright?’ Raphael asked.‘My head hurts,’ Huno replied and turned.In the direction he faced, there seems to be something familiar there. It was faint, so faint that it was like it never existed. He turned back and said, ‘For now, I’ll only bring you two out. I don’t know when I’ll be rejected again,’‘Understood. The smaller the number, the better,’ Star said.‘Let’s go in that direction,’ Huno said, pointing toward the familiar feeling.‘Alright,’ Star replied. Raphael said nothing and brought an artifact. It grew and became the size of a simple wagon.‘How many do you have on you?’ Huno asked.‘Traveling artifacts?’ Raphael asked. ‘Well, dozens of them,’ he added.‘I see,’‘Let’s go,’ Raphael said and got on.After Huno and Star got on, they flew away. They flew on for eight days

honestly a surprise to find a decent start to this tale. it kept me reading which is a big change of late compare to others. minor grammar issues but not overly distracting. this tale has a decent flow as well. should be interesting to see where the reincarnation aspect takes us in future chapters.
