"Hmm...ow..where am I?"
I woke and saw myself in the middle of a corridor...
All I remember was passing out in the space while teaching Elvie and her screaming for me.
Now I found myself in a misty corridor..
I slowly stood up and started walking toward the corridor..
A few minutes later.
"Ugh..how long is this passage?"
After a turn in the passage, I sensed light hitting my face..
I followed the light.
"Whoa!"
The next moment I found myself in a vast greenland...
It was so beautiful..
I began walking..I crossed rivers and small gardens...but the greenland seemed endless...
Then..
I noticed something...a glowing thing in front of me..
It was a fruit...
A silver shiny fruit...
I looked around it for a moment..Then I picked it up...
The glow vanished, and the platinum coloured fruit was now in my hands..
"What is this?"
I asked myself
Then I noticed it was cracking. Golden light emerged from the cracks..
Then it exploded with a blinding light..
My surroundings became blank and dark..
"Krish."
Huh? Who is it?
"KRISH!!!"
"ahhh!"
*huff**huff*
"Where am I?.. What happened"
I woke up, looking at my surroundings..
I'm still at the space..
"hnnng!!Krish, you are alive??"
A crying Elvie hugged me tightly.
"I'm fine..so let go..let go I can't breathe"
"Oh!.. I'm sorry..."
Eve released her tight grip on me, letting me breathe again.
"Hey, Jeff, what happened to me?"
[{jeff}..your body reconstructed master.]
"reconstructed?"
Elvie and both asked at the same time.
[{jeff}..I will explain if ms Elvie promises to keep this a confidential...]
Elvie hesitated a bit..
"I will... I promise to keep whatever you say a secret".
She said with determination in her eyes.
[{jeff}...it was due to your two supreme skills..]
"What?..."
[{jeff}...ever since the seal on ethergat lifted, your body has been accumulating more mana, and it was taking a strain on your body...so I initiated body reconstruction on you to nullify the strain...]
"I see...so that's why Ethergat was sealed until I turn 5"
[{jeff}..exactly...do you want me to tell you the changes on your body?"
"Yes."
[{jeff} ...the major change is your strength and lifespan..."]
"wait..lifespan?..don't tell me it decreased.."
i asked..
[{jeff}..no master, it was reverse. Your lifespan has increased...the duration is currently unknown...strength has raised from 250->600 and stamina has raised from 1000-2500]
"Huh?!".
Both Elvie and I are shocked by this revelation.

[Ashmere, demon continent]
While Krish was still figuring out his current problem somewhere in the Ashmere Demon Continent...
{adventure guild}
A large building filled with adventurers can be visible...
Among all the adventurers, there is a small hooded figure waiting for her turn in the reception line.
A small girl who is in the hood finished her task and placed the heads of rogue orcs.
"Task requirement completed..here you go, Miss Kane," said the receptionist. "We appreciate your help!".
The receptionist handed her a bag of coins equal to the boars..
Three demons who saw this took advantage of her loneliness...followed her..
The little girl entered an inn, ignoring the demons following her.
She sat at the bar.
"What can I do for you?"...
The bartender asked the girl...
"as usual!..a pork soup and some sandwiches..."
After giving the order, the girl moved to a table..
The demons, taking the chance, approached her.
"Hey there, Missy..do you mind if we accompany you?"
The three people stood there with an ugly smile.
The three demons approached the girl's table, sneering.
Their armor clanked slightly as they leaned close, reeking of ale and arrogance.
"Hey, hey… that's quite the meal for someone so small," one of them said, glancing at the coins.
She'd placed it on her hip.
"Boar hunts don't pay that well, do they?"
The girl didn't respond, still munching quietly on her bread.
Another demon snorted. "Ignoring us, huh? You think just 'cause you wear that fancy cloak you're better than us?"
He reached out, tapping the small bag of coins she'd been given.
"Tell you what, Missy — hand over that reward, and maybe we'll treat you to another meal."
The first demon chuckled. "Yeah, newbie adventurers need to pay tax to their seniors, you know? Since you are cute, if you can warm my be-"
The girl finally paused, lowering her hood just enough for her lips to curve into a faint smile.
"Oh? Tax?" she said softly. "Then by all means…"
She pushed the bag of coins toward them with one finger.
The demons blinked, surprised at how easy that was.
"…take it."
One of them grinned, snatching the pouch. "Now that's better—"
—but before he could take a single step, a sharp thud echoed.
The wooden floor beneath him shot into the demon's croch, breaking his precious eggs, coins scattering across the floor.
The girl kicked another plank, where all fell, making them fly into the pouch in her hand.
"Oops. My bad! My foot ached, so I kicked the plank."
The inn hall went quiet.
The barkeep was working on his jug calmly as if what happened now was a common occurrence.
The third demon swallowed hard, whispering, "W-why did you do that?".
The girl stood up, brushed the crumbs off her cloak, and said, "Why?. That's for you to figure out..."
Then she looked at them — her golden eyes glinting from under the hood with cold at the demon in agony...
"You!"
The pressure in the air grew heavier for just a heartbeat — enough to make all three demons stumble back, their instincts screaming danger.
But before they could react, she turned away and headed for the exit, her voice floating back like a whisper.
"Next time, earn your coins with your hands… not your mouth," she said, about to leave. Placing the bag of coins at the counter...."
This is for today's food and repairs. Also, please do the trashing for me..."
The bartender smiled faintly." Understood"
used his magic and threw the three demons from the back door of the inn.
Taking the parcelled food, she left the inn...
hitting the road, she walked..
Then, noticing that she was being followed again, keeping her cool even though this one was stronger and familiar, she led him to a secluded place, then stopped.
Making the person confront her directly.
The person halted his pursuit and removed his disguise...
revealing a golden-eyed silver-haired man.
"what made you to follow me.."
the girl recognizing the person questioned.
"SPIRIT KING SERINES"
