Liatart walks out of his shop and goes to the village, He sees the villager are quite depressing as he walks around the village he sees an elderly couple sitting in front of their wooden house, He walks some more around the village and the village sees him but they don't care at all he even walk pass a villager but he just ignore him and keep on a walk as Liatart walk around there he sees a group of children playing with a wooden homemade toy that their father make for them Liatart walk to them and the children didn't even afraid of him at all instead they ask Liatart to play with them, The children jump around laughing and run around him he uses his Crystallization Magic to create imitate a shape of a bird and other animals such as cat and dog and merge it with Reanimation Magic to make it move around then Liatart sitting down and watch the children play for half an hour, One of the children say that she is very thirty Liatart look around and see if there any water but can't find any "That right while I walk around I see the land here is very dry and the people here seem to be very thin as if like they haven't got a descend food for month on end"
Liatart uses his summoning magic to summon water and the water flows out gently and it covers the road the children immediately rush in and try to drink the water as much as they can and when the villagers see the water they rush out of their house and try to put it in their bucket as much as they can Liatart see all this and he realizes right the way "This village is suffering"
As the villager tried to gather the water Liatart sitting nearby and the children went to him and gave him some water "I am not thirsty can you tell me about the village" The child said Sure smiling he took the kid's hand and let the kid sitting on his thigh the kid explains
around the village is mostly dry and it only rains for a few months every year so the village barely has enough water for another 3 to 4 months, Liatart puts the kids down and tells them to return back to their parents he walks into the forest to the redirection where the villager goes to find the water he decided to live here for awhile he began to cut down the tree but his strength is too strong a single swing of his arm that full of magic will destroy the forest, The solution is by using the compression magic to compress all of the magic but he can still use it whatever the hell he wants by reverse the magic his magic will get back to normal as the day goes by the village starting to hear this noise that from the deep within the forest they start to whisper that there is a demon came to live near their village than one day a group of 5 villagers are doing their routine duty to gather as much water as they can about 1 day of walk from their village deep into the forest and high up in the mountain, Once they arrived there one of the villager notice something very weird about the waterfall suddenly he scream and couldn't believe his eye the other villager rush on to his side as he pointing his finger to the waterfall
The waterfall seemed to float in the air and flow somewhere in the direction of their village then they decided to follow the waterfall to see where it went to.
The villagers walk for a whole day, They arrive at a big lake as they look around, the more they look the more they become curious "What happened we lived in this area our whole life we don't remember anything about a lake here what is going on" as they look around there from afar they can see a shed he alerts the group and they all rush to it when they almost arrive they're see a man walk out of the shed the villager asks what is his name, He replies his name is Liatart he a traveler that likes to explore from place to places and like to live here for awhile then the villager ask him about the lake, Liatart try to explain that he knows a little bit of magic that makes the lake possible right there the villager's eye glow open width they eagerly asking him if they could use the lake too, Liatart allow them and they fill the water with what they can and head back they walk back with joy as they waving back at him, Liatart close the door slowly with a smile and felt like that he might enjoy and happy to do he felt that he can be reliable again after thousands of years, The villager that came to Laitart's shed spread the world throughout the village and everyone know about a kind man that just came to live nearby the village
The villager came to Liatart's shed and asked him kindly for water and he gave it to everyone who came to him as time went the villager and he started to get along very well and the village chief and Liatart later became a good friend a few months later and the village now has enough water for them to drink and even enough to grow vegetable, A group of elderly people walks into the forest to visit Liatart when they arrived there they see that he is not at his shed then they walk to the lake there they see Liatart working by himself to make another lake for the village
Liatart could just use his magic to make a lake instantly but instead, he liked to work on it in a normal way through hard work he kept on digging to make another big lake the elderly group saw him, and they had a conversation to themselves "We have been too carefree since he arrives here our village seem to be a lot more lively" "I also agree we should do something to show our gratitude to him" the group of elderly return to the village and spread the word how much that Liatart have work for the village they return back to Liatart shed and to the where he work but this time the elderly people bright all of the young men and women to help and they jump to work and Liatart is confused of what is going on he look around and see these people came to help, The village chief also came to help 5 months later after endless work the lake is completed Liatart use his magic to summon water and pour it into the new lake as the villager cheer with excitement but a week later after this happy moment an incident occur.
At night time a few days later Liatart woke up and he couldn't go back to sleep, So he took a book that he got from the villager given to him as he read suddenly he heard a scream from the village Liatart rushed outside and ran to the village and he sees the village is burning everywhere and the villagers are terrified and run some are pick up their farming tool try to fight it, Liatart ask one of the villagers what is going "There a demon a demon is attacking the village" then he heard an explosion from the up of the hill Liatart immediately jump from a few kilometers away to reach there, One of the villagers see as if he is flying in the sky, He landed on top of the hill and see the demon he realize that is not a demon it actually a human that have evil infection within her, He can still see that the girl is struggling to keep her breath he jumps into action and punches the infect part of her body send it flying into the forest he follows it and tries to tear her body from the infect part of her body as he try to pull her out but the body move by itself and try to hit Liatart when half of her body got out Liatart notice that she he beyond save the only way to save her is to put her out of her suffering, Her body is completely took over and her crying for help it is actually the evil infection try to imitate the little girl's emotion, So it could trick other to believe that she is still alive, he use his magic to extract her soul out of the body that the evil infection have took over and kill it with a punch that destroy it and cost a big bang in the area, The villager heard the it and they confuse of what just happen and where is the demon gone to
Liatart walks out of the forest with the girl in his arms half of her body has turned dark and it is covered with demonic cells that have infested her and the villagers are just relieved that it over
Tomorrow morning they only have a few casualties the girl and both of her parent, the village holds a funeral for the girl and her parent who had passed away in the incident and all of the injured villagers didn't hold any against the family instead felt sad for them "We have our own suffering and we can understand we live where everyone in the village are very own flesh and blood, So instead of keep hatred within us we should learn how to forgive instead if we want to live together as a family within this village"
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
He heard her say all this, Liatart started an investigation with the village chief.
A girl has an evil infection and neither of her parents notices until her body starts to be covered in dark skin the parents take her into the house and take off her clothes, They see that their daughter will soon turn into a devil but instead of letting the village chief know they decided to hide it and their son is still only 7 so they try their best to buy the medicine from a local man that practice in medicine they fear if they were to tell the village they either be force to abandon her or they have to leave the village but they don't have anywhere else to go, So they kept this secret to themselves for a few months until a tragedy happen,
While the son is sleeping in the front of the house both parents are struggling to keep their daughter down, she start to react very bizarrely her eyes are turning white and they see that her legs are growing an eyeball they are terrified and the mother crying while trying to get the medicine for her daughter but the girl kept on reacting like she being possessed by a horrific monster within her and then the son wake up and walk to see his parent then he sees his older sister is eating his death father and the mother is too terrify to doing anything, Once she sees her son is standing there she immediately grabs her son's arm and run out of the house, The daughter just grow very long arm and grad her mother's legs, The mother knew she can't escape so she throws her son down the hill and daughter pull her back into the house, The evil infection grow a demonic mouth and eat her mother's whole head off when she is still hungry that is where she came out of the house and attack the other villagers
The 7 years-old son is now being taken care of by an elderly woman, She says that she is willing to raid the 7 years-old but the Liatart asks to let him take him as his son instead, The elderly woman asks him "Are you sure" but Liatart is determined. So the elderly woman allows it
He goes to the 7-year-old and asks him to take his hand the child takes his hand, and then Liatart takes him to his shed he knows that he will be staying here longer than he thought. So he decided to build a house for the 7 years-old to live in he threw an axe at him and it almost hit the kid, He started to yell at Liatart "Are you trying to kill me" Liatart smiled and told him to follow him to cut down some tree along the way Liatart explains to him that from here on he can call Liatart father and he will teach him what he can then Liatart ask for his name the kid replies
"My name it's Raydo" , Ben Raydo"
Liatart replies "Alright a name from the Western world, Raydo it is, you are my son now, come I'll teach you how to cut down some trees and build a house where we can live together"
They walk into deep in the forest where all of these tall straight trees growing, Liatart teaches Raydo how to cut the tree properly and teach him how to find drinkable water, and when they have done with their work, Liatart uses his magic to make the wood much lighter and Raydo is amazed, So he starting to annoy Liatart to teach him magic too, Liatart promise when he turns 12 year old he will teach him magic because that is the age where most people can manifest their mana but he still wanted to learn magic early
Time goes by, They do all kinds of work together rebuilding the village with others go on a trip to get some medicine for the village, Liatart teaches him how to read and write then 8 years go by Liatart starts to teach magic, and slowly get used to managing mana, One-night Liatart put his hand on Raydo stomach and try to measure his mana source he notices that he is too weak to really learn any magic after all both his parent are just normal farmer, So he decided to give his adopted son a drop of his magic tomorrow morning Raydo feel this power flow within him,
He was confused about what was happening yesterday and didn't feel anything but now this powerful magic just appeared out of nowhere, He walked to Raydo and told him that he would be teaching how to use the Mana control technique, They walked to a nearby mountain there Liatart wanting to concentrate and try to understand how strong he is, Raydo release his aura he knows that it strong but how strong it is he can't tell,
Liatart said to him "You will know through experience just keep on going, Now I will explain the mana control technique there 5 phases in total the first one is what we call the mana concentration technique it happens once you concentrate most of your mana in place and it will create a high concentration that can cost a destructive damage such as mine when I concentrate it on the tip of my sword it will create a purple sphere it will appear in all kind of shape and form depending on what kind of magic you naturally possess as for you Raydo you natural magic is earth magic, Let me show you when you concentrate your magic somewhere within your vision the earth will respond by gather it as a sphere at the place where concentrate at, I am not very good at explaining thing but think you can give it a try"
Raydo tries to practice day and night but is unable to do it Liatart sat down and tried to give him guidance on where he might do wrong, 5 months later he was finally able to use the mana concentration technique properly, Raydo is excited that he will be able to use it all in just a few years or so but Liatart said to him back "No You can't you can only use at phase 3rd at best and I don't really sure that you can even use the 3rd phase or not for anyone who can use the 3rd and 4th phase meaning that, That person is incredibly gifted and one of the most exceptional and you Raydo you just happen to be one of 10 million and for anyone is able to use the 1st and 2nd is those who are greater than every 1 million and for the 5th phase are for those who are one in every 100 million, So there less than 10 people out of 1 billion who can use the 5th phase,
Liatart: Now let's move on to the next step the faster you can master this the sooner you will able to use magic
Raydo is on to the 2nd phase, The Mana expansion technique, 2years have passed and Raydo has mastered the 2nd phase now Liatart will be teaching him magic that he has created but before all this Liatart invites Raydo to go fishing like they always do but this time he will show some simple magic that he can easily master, He takes out a straight small piece of metal and make it change its shape into the fish hook and Raydo ask "Wow how can you do that father" Liatart explains to him on how he can use this magic "This magic is called the recreation magic you can use this magic to recreate anything you see it, however, to really able to recreate just about anything it will going to need you have a potent mana source now sit down and take this, now I wanting you to try imagine of this fish hook and try to apply your magic into this metal"
Raydo closes his eyes and tries to concentrate, Liatart keeps explaining to him "Clear Your mind do not think of anything other than the fish hook, Imagine it strongly as if you already had it and concentrate your magic on the metal," The metal is now slowly shaping itself into a fish hook
Liatart keeps on explaining " Good now keep on going " Raydo successfully does it but he is still curious about what will happen if he is unable to clear his mind and concentrate, Liatart takes a metal and explains to him "I'll give you an example look closely when you able to clear your mind the metal will shape exactly like you wanted but if your mind is not clear and unable to know what you wanted to be the magic will run wild and it just doesn't know what to do or go so it just makes this weird shape just as you see now, The shape is like a weird tree right" Raydo replies "Yes I understand, Oh when will the training start"
Liatart tells him to get ready tomorrow,
Early in the morning Liatart and his son went to a place that was full of mountains with an incredible view, there it was full of life and all kinds of beautiful birds and their even some bird are very colorful, Raydo was amazed at this place Liatart took him to a lake that is incredibly blue and you can even see the fish swimming in the water he tells Raydo to jump and both of them enjoy their bath and climb the mountain together and compete who will climb faster and challenge each other to pick and eat as much exotic fruit they could find including go on a swim at a massive lake, caught these dangerous animals that live in the lake
Tomorrow morning Liatart will start his training by letting him attack a giant bird known as rock bird he jumps on the bird but it struggles and flies away while he is still on the bird's back, Flies higher and higher then he lets the bird go and it flies directly to the ground and Raydo concentrate, So he can use his magic properly as the bird changes its direction and fly back up to attack him Raydo is already ready with his magic he releases this magic around the area as the bird gets closer he punches the bird and the magic create a powerful shock wave that pushes it down to the ground that it so powerful that it almost kills the bird, Liatart immediately jump to the bird and heal it before it passes away after this training he is confident that once were a helpless child is now strong enough to stand on his own they later return back to the village a few years later Raydo is now 22-year-old
while they are sitting down relaxing and doing some fishing Liatart tells Raydo that he is ready to explore the world and that it is time for both of them to part ways Raydo laughs it off "You really like to make jokes Father" but Liatart look at Raydo and he see Liatart's eyes it enough to convince him that Liatart is serious and look back at his fish hook "Come on father you can't be serious you my and only family what will become of me you not around anymore, Come on say something" as he sobbing
Liatart said to him "Through time you will be strong, Let experience be your greatest teacher be with me forever might hinder your grown"
Raydo shouted back as he sobbed "No I don't wanna be let alone you know it well enough to not let me alone, So please don't go"
Liatart stands up and walks to him he pats his son's head "There times when we have to let things go and move on in life things are just can't stay the same forever" As Raydo keeps on sobbing and begs his father not to do this
On that same day at night, it is supper time Liatart makes Raydo's favorite soup he picks up a bowl and pours the soup for his son, Raydo tear drop into the soup and Liatart starts to remind about the past, Back when he still just a kid just how much troublesome he is
Liatart reminded him about the time when he just a kid sneaked out of the shed one time and stole the meat that Liatart forbade him from eating too much but he took it all and cooked it near the shed and ate it all the morning Tomorrow Liatart have to go hunt some more and he scolded Raydo for his behavior
At one time when Raydo went to steal some farming tools from the village, the villager scolded him and Liatart had to go back to apologize to the villager and the village chief
The time when he first has this vegetable soup Raydo tells him that the reason that this soup is so good is because Liatart was the one who made it
Raydo starts to cry and Liatart tries his best not to cry and stay calm but he can't seem to control his tears as he sees his son crying
Tomorrow morning Liatart and Raydo are getting ready to the village to say their farewell, the villagers gather in one place to see them off and the village chief tries to convince Liatart to stay a little longer but he still insists that he has to leave the village now then they leave as Raydo wave his hand to them but before Liatart left he created a river for the village that flow from 2 big river
The villagers later build a statue of Liatart and his son to remind them of their savior who will let the village to continue prospering
Liatart and Raydo have walked for a day from the village now and they decided to part ways here Raydo looks at his father and gives Liatart a hug he cries on his shoulder "We will meet again right"
Liatart Replies "Yes we will one day"
Raydo takes the opposite direction that Liatart takes as he waves his hand to his father and Liatart continues his journey,
