The seasons passed by and Allen turned 4 years old. It was March and spring was coming around. The snow slowly decreased day by day and the fields budding with greenery once again. Allen was sitting alone under the tree in the front yard.

It had already been one and a half years since Allen started throwing stones. And on the grimoires cover, a level up log was displayed with yellow characters.

Throw leveled up to 3

(Throw finally got to 3, eh?)

Allen had successfully acquired the skill Throw and leveled it up to 3.

He confirmed the count of stones he threw by looking at the grimoires memo.

(As I thought, theres a fixed rule to acquiring skills. Just about ten thousand, it seems.)

The count of stones he threw during this time (accumulated count)-

10,000 times, throw level 120,000 times, throw level 2120,000 times, throw level 3

(This might just be limited to the throw skill but theres a fixed condition to acquiring skills.)

You need to repeat an action for a fixed number of times to acquire the skillTo get the skill to level 2, you need to use the skill the same number of timesTo get the skill to level 3, you need to use the skill 10 times the number of times needed to acquire the skill

The tree surface which was on the receiving end of 120,000 stone throws had been cleanly peeled off in a circle. He had decided on 100 times a day at first but once he got to level 2, he understood that the number of times he does the action matters a lot more. Since then, he increased it to 300 a day and here we are.

(So it probably would have been fine if I had it at 100 a day if this was the normal mode and not hell mode)

One needs to put in 100 times the effort to level up and grow skills in hell mode than they need in normal mode. His guess is that this relates to all the growth related stats, such as the skills growth as well as the experience point.

(Now then, what about throw level 4? If the number of times I need to throw to get to level 4 is 1,000,000, it would take me 9 years even if I throw 300 times a day. I mean, I got nothing else to do in the meantime. I guess Ill keep throwing until I decide on something else. If it doesnt level up by the next 10~20,000 throws, Ill most probably need 1,000,000 total throws)

He pondered about the future while gazing at his status.

Although he had gotten to summon level 2 by the time he was 1 year and 10 months old, hes still at the same place now when hes 4 years and 5 months old.

He started leveling up create and synthesis after becoming 3 years old and now they level 3 and 2 respectively.

(About how summon didnt level up even though create leveled up)

Whenever hes checking his status on the grimoire, this thing always stays on his mind.

Maybe because his summon level didnt increase to 3 that his summoned beast count didnt change. G rank bird was unlocked when he got to summon level 2. To summon high rank beasts, he needs to increase his summon level.

(I dont know what to do to level it up, though)

An isekai reincarnation without a guidebook or a walkthrough. Theres no choice but to proceed through trial and error. Ultimately, to level up summon, the solution he reached was to get synthesis to level 3. Maybe if all his skills leveled up, summon would also be pulled along with them to level 3.

Moreover, the synthesis skill still takes 5 mana even though it leveled up. It seems theres a chance that the consumed mana for synthesis is fixed, unlike create.

And about swordsmanship, since he played knight make-believe with Kurena almost everyday, it leveled up naturally. It got to level 2 in one and a half years. Throw leveled up quicker as he increased the count.

This applies to all the skills but with acquiring and leveling up skills, the power of the skill changes altogether. Whether it is throwing or swordsmanship, a correction takes place in the action. The body corrects itself to move in a more proper form, in a more natural flow. And it also feels like the power of his throws and sword swings have increased.

Acquiring and inspection of skill levels

A correction applies to the bodyThe higher the skill lever, the higher its power

Although theres swords and magic here, its not a game its a whole different world. Its not like he can see damage numbers appear so he cant be sure how much it increased but it definitely did increase.

Allen, help me with preparing lunch~.

It will be lunch time soon. Theresia called out to Allen, who was in the front yard. And so he returned inside the house to help out his mother.

Yes, mama.

He went and stood beside Theresia, who was carrying a baby on her back, to help prepare lunch.

Theresia had safely given birth to her second baby boy. As she gave birth the year before the last, the baby on her back was already 1 and a half years old. Maybe because he had woken up, the baby was flapping his legs.

While rocking the baby on her back lightly, Theresia passed the steamed potatoes and the wooden pestle to Allen.

Mash, lunch will be ready soon, alright?

Aiii.

Mash replied, drooling all over her back. Allens younger brother was named Mash. He had brown hair and green eyes and looked more like his father than his mother.

And of course, Rodan was the one who named him, again from one of the magical beasts of this world. From a wolf-like beast called the Madergarsh. It is said that the beast is roaming the world as he pleases, all alone. One can feel his fathers strong wish for his son to live freely from his name.

As with Allens name taken from Albahelon, most of the letters are cut off.

He got to know that the Madergarshs rank was B, two higher than the D rank Albahelon. Theres nothing like a more capable younger brother.

(Eat lots and grow big, lil bro.)

He squashed the steamed potatoes such that they wouldnt get stuck on his brothers throat. And although he hadnt yet started working on the fields yet, the amount of help he does around the house has increased.

Im back~.

Rodan had returned from the field in front of the front yard. They all gathered around the sunken earth and had lunch. And for cultural reasons in this world, the lunch for serfs was quite light.

Rodan mostly returns to the field after stuffing about 2 steamed potatoes in his mouth.

That reminds me, I heard this village will be called Deboji village from next year. The landlords envoy notified the villagers it seems.

Rodan talked about what he heard from his fellow serfs when he went to get water from the wall this morning.

So the village will finally have a name, huh?

(So the development has progressed enough for it to have a name, eh?)

Currently, it has been 9 years since the village was claimed. As the development and production from the village has settled down, it seems like it has been decided to be given a name in its 10th year.

Yeah, well they say itll be named after the village mayor. So I guess itll be named without any change.

(Deboji mayor, eh? Never seen him.)

He recalled what Rodan had told him once before. For villages like these which are going through development, they are named after the most famous person in the village. Generally its mostly named after the first generation mayor.

Well then, I will get going said Rodan before heading out again. Theresia gave Mash uninterrupted attention until he turned 1. Now she goes out to help Rodan in the fields while Mash takes his afternoon nap.

(A happy family)

Rodan went out after giving Theresia a kiss on her cheek. Geez said Theresia happily. Allen looked at Mash, thinking a third kid might come soon enough. Dirtying his surroundings, Mash frantically had his food with the wooden spoon.

He sometimes wonders, why did I reincarnate?.

He had wished from the bottom of his heart, to speedrun through a game with obsolete settings. And as such, he didnt really have much regret about coming to this world of swords and magic. Leaving that world at the age of 35, he thought he didnt really deal that much damage to his surroundings, considering how he wasnt married and didnt have a girlfriend. Although he might have saddened his parents.

However, the first thing he thought when he came to this world was I am glad I was born with an adults mind instead of a newborns.

He wanted to focus on his growth as a summoner, not being restrained by anything. Be reincarnated, maybe go to the nearest city and become an adventurer, hunt all the monsters you can and just devote yourself to leveling up.

That was what Kenichi had first thought finding the best equipment available, reaching the max level in the game. Thats how he had been gaming all his life. He wanted to do the same in a different world as well.

It will be Allens 4th year in this world. He doesnt even know the name of this country yet. It doesnt come up in his parents conversations and neither does he go out of his way to ask. For now, the only thing he does know is that this is a kingdom and that this village is part of a barons land.

(Sitting together happily like this is also nice Maybe I will release everyone from being a serf, at least. Although I have no clue as to how yet.)

Ever since he had gotten a brother, Allen started to think more about his family. Now, he had gotten a new objective other than just leveling up.
