"Ok. Let"s leave it. I need to come back to the village. I am hungry but I can move so let"s go!"
He started walking in the direction of his village. Aron was living in one abandoned hut in the outskirts of the village. The boy intelligence was pretty low, and he couldn"t do much. If you could define failure, it would be called Aron in this world. Stupid, talentless and weak.
After an hour of walk, Aron finally reached the village. The village was full of wooden huts with straw roofs. He couldn"t understand how something so unfamiliar was giving him a sense of familiarity.
"It"s confusing. I am Aron now but his life experiences are not really mine. This is so confusing for my mind. I need to get used to it soon." He was pondering about these things as it brought an annoying feeling.
The people in the village wasn"t evil, in every group, there are some black sheep. In this particular village, there are few of them. They thought that they are justice as Aron is different from them, it must be something wrong with him. Another thing was actually Aron himself, he wasn"t able to defend himself or even talk back. Weak individuals are always targeted by such people, it was easy to bully someone to boost your own ego.
Aron decided to go to his hut and try to find something to eat. His current body wasn"t ready for any kind of revenge. The hut was quite deteriorated the roof was full of holes and this wasn"t a really good place to live. The weather in this region was similar to European countries in terms of seasons.
"It"s my home... I need to do something about this." He thought about this but his stomach started to grumble.
There wasn"t anything edible in this house. Most of the things were some old rotten things that previous Aron kept none knew for what. He survived thanks to one girl in the village that always gave him something to eat in grave times like this.
"I cannot do much about it. I need to go and get something to eat."
He thought and left to ask for food. The girl"s house wasn"t far from his position. He got there in a few minutes.
"ARON! YOU ARE ALIVE!" She shouted and hugged him while sobbing and crying. He was like a little brother to her, despite his previous disabilities. Most of the villagers considered her as beautiful, she had a perfect figure and long red hair. She had pretty face with freckles on it. What"s most important she was kind and nice to all people. He could always rely on her warmth and helping hand. Sometimes, the girl was getting into trouble because of him and what"s weirdest boy didn"t thank her properly even once. New Aron will change this relations.h.i.+p from now on or maybe after the meal as his stomach needed a.s.sistance. He was very ravenous and you couldn"t work with an empty stomach.

[Quest goal: Become someone reliable in Rose mind.]
[Quest reward: ???]
"Hi, Rose. I missed you too." He said and the girl jumped away from him.
"WHO ARE YOUUUU?!? AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ARRRRON?" She asked with a terrified voice. Simple confidence, straight posture, and way of talking made him a different person.
"I slipped and hit my head. It made my mind clearer, and I am sorry, for all the things I made you go through before because of my stupidity. I will compensate you with many folds!"
His voice carried confidence and Rose couldn"t believe that it"s a mild boy that she used to help.
"AAAAA? It"s good for you. I cannot be always there for you little Aron. You don"t need to compensate me anything. As long as you don"t put me in any trouble, I will be happy." Rose was smiling with happiness. She felt that there is hope for the pitiful boy before her.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! Aron"s stomach started to make weird noises.
"Hahaha. Come inside, there are some leftovers from breakfast." She invited him to her family"s hut.
Interior of this house was many times better than rotting hovel that he is living in. It wasn"t luxurious but it was simple and cozy.
"Thank you, Rose!" Aron said with sincerity. Rose was a little shocked because it was something new to her. Previous Aron wasn"t talking much, and he definitely didn"t thank anyone for anything.
They entered the hut and Rose gave Aron some porridge"s leftovers from breakfast. Her father was a village"s hunter and luckily he left at dawn to hunt. Rose"s father didn"t like the idea of feeding the parasite like Aron, so it wouldn"t end well if he saw him in his own house.
Aron thanked Rose and left, he was useless and his hut needed some repairs before any revenge. Villagers were surprised when they saw the current Aron. It was more than 180 degrees change, firstly he didn"t dodge the eye contact, another thing was you could feel his confidence coming from his ugly body. It was unbelievable, people don"t change overnight like he just did.
Aron examined the necessary repairs and it wasn"t easy. First, he needed materials for the repairs and with his popularity and wealth, it will be impossible to get anything.
"System? Can you help me some way?" Aron asked the mysterious being that was talking to him inside his head from time to time.
[There is no solution. The host can finish the quest to get a reward.]
"Thank you... Really, change your entire opinion in Rose mind or get revenge on a group of people stronger than you. Just great..."
It wasn"t time for self-pity, Aron stood up and decided to go search for a way to get materials for hut"s repairs. He was skinny and weak, his eyes were blue and hair was white. Although if he wasn"t malnourished his appearance would be little above average, it wasn"t important now. New Aron can persuade people with his confidence. Most of the kids in his age were already working with their parents for a few years while learning their future profession.
The village had few mayor professions, the most respected hunter, hunters were getting food from the forest while risking their lives. Rose"s father was one of the hunters, and he was the best hunter in the village.
Another job was a carpenter, they were responsible for building, repairing and creating some wooden tools. Their source of materials is lumberjacks, some carpenters were lumberjacks too but in more professional workshops, carpenters focused on their profession and left getting the wood logs to the lumberjacks.
The most important decisions in the village were made by the village chief. Most of them were old and thanks to their experience and life"s wisdom, they were great judges and guides for villagers. Some of them had knowledge in herbs and could use it to heal but it wasn"t in all cases.
Tools were made by blacksmiths, yet it was a rare profession because this profession required a long apprentices.h.i.+p and most of the blacksmiths didn"t take apprentices outside of the family. It made this profession, family thing.
