"Rowan!!" As Rowan strolled towards his hut after completing his session with his soldiers, he heard Riela's cheerful voice calling out to him and looked up.
He saw Riela running towards him, her slender figure swaying gracefully with every step. He couldn't help but notice the bouncy motion as her chest moved up and down.
"Rowan, you left so early and didn't eat the fruits I left for you," Riela complained as she hugged him. "You should take eating seriously, Rowan. I don't want you to fall ill again."
Due to the weak texture of their clothes, Rowan could feel the full softness of her chest pressed against his. As he hugged her, he brought his hand down to her waist, feeling the perkiness of her behind. It was a heavenly sensation.
'These weak clothes aren't a bad idea if you think about it from another perspective,' Rowan's perverted thoughts rang out.
'It is a bad idea!!' he soon changed his mind when he noticed that the bulge in his pants was getting bigger.
But Rowan did not panic; he simply ended the hug before she could notice. Thanks to the poor light from the moon, she wouldn't be able to see.
"Don't worry, I will eat more after I have a nice bath. Would you like to join me?"
Riela's face turned a beautiful shade of red as she interpreted his words in her mind. She couldn't believe he would suggest such a thing.
"W-what do you mean?" she asked, backing away with a red face.
Under the moonlight, her blush couldn't go unnoticed by Rowan's shameless gaze, and he found her reaction very cute and innocent. The sudden zeal to break this innocence made his heart beat faster.
"We used to bathe together when we were young, don't you remember? You always laughed at my small winnie and all that. Now my winnie has grown, don't you want to see it?" Rowan smirked.
He fully understood that his words were not suited for someone as pure and innocent as Riela, but he continued, ensuring to paint a lewd picture in her mind to see her reaction.
And just as predicted, Riela fell for it. Her blush became redder and hotter, and her breathing became ragged.
She covered her face shyly and replied, "I don't want to see your w-winnie."
"Are you sure? It has gotten bigger and matured enough to start making children," Rowan continued teasing her.
"G-Good night, I have changed the fruit, eat it." She couldn't take his teasing anymore and ran away with her hands covering her ears.
'She can't be this pure and innocent with such a wicked body,' Rowan noted to himself before walking inside his hut to relax for the day.
Entering his small hut, which only consisted of a big bedroom and a small bathroom, Rowan saw a basket of fruit lying on the stool beside his bed. He quickly recalled what Riela said before running away.
This morning, he had left too early, even before Riela could come serve breakfast. Throughout the day, his stomach had remained empty.
It was only at this moment, seeing the fruit, that his stomach began to react, grumbling hungrily.
Beside the basket of fruit, he also saw a wooden bowl containing food, still hot and spewing out steam, spreading a calm aroma across the room that increased his hunger.
"I guess this was also prepared by Riela. She is indeed wife material. When all this is done, I will make sure to make her my first wife; she deserves it," Rowan whispered.
Without wasting time, he took off his upper clothes, washed his hands, and proceeded to devour the food like a madman who had never tasted good food before.
After devouring the soup, he couldn't help but comment on the splendid taste that made his stomach protest for more.
'Even with the scarcity of nice ingredients, she was able to prepare something so delicious, remarkable.'
Rowan grabbed an apple from the basket and began to chew on it, enjoying the taste of fresh fruit for the first time since he transmigrated.
"Character status," he decided to check how much progress he had made.
➟ Winterseed Village (FF)
➟ AREA: 20 square kilometers
➟ RESOURCES: Timber, farmlands, small river
➟ PERFORMANCE (Reveal)
➟ EVOLUTION POINT: 960,000
➟ SKILLS: SS-rank 100x reward, SS-rank copy, SS-rank eyes of revelation, SS-rank merge, SS-rank beast taming, S-rank Super Voice, FF-rank sword master.
There were not many changes in his character status except for the new arrangement and the [PERFORMANCE] tab, which he already knew about.
Aside from that, there was [Sword Master], which ruined his stats by being ranked FF. Rowan simply could not bear seeing such a weak skill among his stats.
If he could, he wanted all his skills to be B-rank at least; only then would he be able to use them to their full efficiency.
Not wasting time, he clicked the skill.
[ Sword Master (FF): an active compilation of basic sword attacks, when activated, increases efficiency and attack power with bladed weapons by 25% ]
[ Requirements to evolve skill - 50,000 evolution points ]
[ Congratulations, you have evolved a skill ]
[ Sword Master (FF) ----> Sword Master (F) ]
[ Requirements for next rank - 75,000 ]
[ Congratulations, you have evolved a skill ]
[ Sword Master (F) -----> Sword Master (E) ]
[ Requirements for next rank - 150,000 ]
"Is there no way to keep on evolving the skill without me having to say 'evolve' after each round?"
"Fuck, evolve again!"
[ Congratulations, you have evolved a skill ]
[ Sword Master (E) -----> Sword Grandmaster (D) ]
[ Requirements for next rank - 250,000 ]
[ Congratulations, you have evolved a skill ]
[ Sword Grandmaster (D) -----> Sword Grandmaster (C) ]
[ Requirements for next rank - 500,000 (Evolution Points: 435,000) ]
[ Insufficient Evolution Points ]
Rowan sighed, seeing the insufficient evolution points message. He was a little disappointed about how expensive it was to evolve the skill. However, he was still glad he had been able to evolve his skill so much in such a short time. In the game, one can only evolve their skill every week, which is equivalent to a month in the game's time.
In his head, a large amount of data, including exclusive and amazing sword techniques, appeared. Curious, Rowan clicked the skill to view its new stats.
[ Sword Grandmaster (C): Active sword skill, compilation of genius sword moves. When activated, efficiency and attack power when using a bladed weapon increases by 300% ]
"Impressive." Rowan concluded.
While his power is still at FF-rank, which is equivalent to that of an average man, this newly evolved skill changes everything. The skill increases his attack power with a sword threefold, significantly enhancing his combat abilities. With this boost, Rowan would be able to wage war against five of Glenwood's soldiers and win easily.
Rowan was prepared to sleep when he suddenly heard a loud scream for help, followed by further commotion!
