Chapter 168: The start of my slow life



Improving so many skills means the skills wouldn\'t level up faster. It takes a lot of time.

I had some problems. In order to survive those, I had to push myself without proper rest. though this is a magic world, reckless training without resting body and mind would cause cracks in the foundation, which would lead to troubles at a later stage.

My father eradicated most of the traitors from the family. though a few were able to survive, they would hide in their Burroughs like rats.

Elisha and William were the main troubles I had before at the academy and Dorian too.

Now Dorian is dead, while the other two have a lot of fires to put out. They wouldn\'t have the time to think about me at this time. Moreover, if anything happened to me at this time, they would become the prime suspects. So, there is no way that they would act recklessly at this point.

The greedy bastards who are either eyeing my family assets or trying to destroy others just for pleasure would be the only problems that I have. To be exact it\'s not personal problems but family problems.

They would concentrate on a small fry like me. I am not yet powerful (according to the public) nor am I the heir who would inherit the family\'s noble title and territories.

So there was no need to rush. I can develop myself slowly.

After all, I want to have a life that is less stressful and it would be best to start how to live such a life from this moment onwards.

After coming home from the Magic Association branch, I went to my room and took some books about monsters.

Even though I read quite a few books about the monsters, most of the books were on monsters from Glessaria and the surrounding Kingdoms.

Most people don\'t leave the kingdom that they were born in. They wouldn\'t encounter most of the monsters that were present in their kingdom. So there was no need to learn about monsters that were not living in the home country that they were in. It is a waste of their time and also resources.

Only the ones who intend to travel would learn about the monsters, as they would most likely encounter them when they visit the countries that are the home of these monsters.

The ones who travel could be people who are interested in becoming merchants or bodyguards for the caravans. It could also be people who are looking for a new place to settle to restart their lives.

Whatever the reason might be they are usually the ones who had to read about the monsters from the places they intend to go.

In addition, there are scholars and researchers who would be interested in knowing about the flora and fauna across the world.

I am interested because what could happen in the future I can\'t say.

I do want to travel the world. Yes, I want a slow and peaceful life but I am not even twenty years of age. I should travel around the world to see how people of this world live in various conditions and their cultures.

Only then would I be able to plan for my slow and peaceful life.

Without knowing how others live, there is no other way for me to create a way for my own slow life.

As a start, I should start with the Winter City. Though I lived in the city, I didn\'t go out to the city much. Even when I did go out, I didn\'t see how the city works. There was much to learn and I decided to start with my own home first.

---

The plan is complete, or I can say that the basic plan for my future is complete.

After surveying the city, I came to a conclusion. The only way to have a peaceful and slow life was to open a shop in a city and sell the goods that merchants bring across cities and nations.

The main thing to do was to form relationships with these travellers.

Moreover, I have to identify which ones are genuine and which ones are greedy bastards who would rip off even their mothers if there was a profit in it.

If I couldn\'t do that, then there would be losses most of the time and I would end up in debt.

The loss would be either because the merchant sells me items for more than they were worth. If the prices were too much, there was no way that I could sell them. I would end up with losses.

There are times when the merchants would not supply some small shops with the items that they already paid items.

I mean, no one would be truly honest when it comes down to money. The merchants would travel through various cities, bringing resources from one nation to another nation across the world.

It is not a safe profession. There are monsters that roam the wild and they have to pass through the wilds most of the time. There are also bandits who would instead of working honestly rather steal from travellers, especially from the merchant caravans.

As the roads are always dangerous, the chances of losing the goods are very high. So the merchants would have nothing to give the shop owners for real.

Sometimes, greedy ones would say that the goods were lost because of such attacks and cheat small-time shop owners. These goods which were already paid for would go to other shops that were either under these merchants or had a partnership with them.

Unless you have a significant background or you yourself are powerful, there is a high chance of this happening to the people.

In any case, one would end up in losses and that means debt.

I don\'t that to happen. If that happens, I would probably end up fighting some goons. That is no way the slow and peaceful life that I envision for my future.

Whatever fighting that is to happen, I would fight now. When I settle down, I hope to actually settle down. I want to have a family of my own.

I am even trying to build a harem to have a nice family in the future.

Anyway, as I said, settling as a shopkeeper was a basic ide that I have for now. I may change my choice in the future.

Thirty days were over before I knew it.

Unlike before when I used to spend too much time hunting or training, this time I took enough rest. This time around the only one who got to spend time hunting was Asya, my pet fox, while I increased my knowledge about the world.

My fox was too low-ranking. It would be an embarrassment for me, while I am Tier-5, almost Tier-6, it was not even Tier-4. Though no one would know, I would. It\'s like self-embarrassment that I feel even if there were no one with the knowledge of this matter.

Even though she is my pet, I am interested in restricting it in the future.

One day, in the distant future, I would let it go. A fox has to live in a forest, not in some contract space or in a city. If she wants to leave, I would grant her freedom. If not, it would stay in the secret realm, after I subdue it properly.

Though I have eradicated a lot of monsters from the realm, it was not truly under my control. In order to bring it under my control, I have to clean out any monster that has a chance of becoming a powerful monster in the future.

I can eliminate all, but I want to turn it into a farm for low-rank monsters. I can breed them in the secret realm. They would become a constant supply of monster meat, and other monster products for me to sell. High-rank monsters would probably give more money but the time gap would be too much.

It would be like gaining too much at once and then there is no income. No, I would rather choose the other one.

---

The time has come for me to return to the academy. Now that according to the public I have reached Tier-2, I can spend more time with Angela, and see if it is possible to drag her twin sister into the harem.

Last semester the improvement of my relationship with Angela was only minimal. This was because I was busy with improving my rank. So I couldn\'t concentrate properly on improving our relationship.

This coming semester, I will concentrate more on improving our relationship. As long as the relationship strengthens, I could try to pull her twin. Whether that could work or not, I can\'t say. I can only wait and see.
