28 Man Out of Time

As I read my book involving the concept of infinity I noticed something peculiar. The boy hadn't come today. Closing my eyes and instead through the eyes of my creation I watched the boy I had come to enjoy tilling the fields. Realizing just how poor his family was to have him sow crops at the age of 7 I decided a visit was an order.

I had at least 19 Years and 10 Months left of being here I might as well help them out. As I rose from my sitting position for the first time in 2 years I started walking towards their property. It took me a litte over half an hour to reach the edge of their village. As I continued walking I was spotted by a guard as they opened their mouth to speak I looked straight at them with my glowing eyes. The young man made way for me to continue inwards. As I followed the path to their farm I passed by many people who stared at me in reverance. Many of whom had decided to follow along behind me.

They grew confused when I walked past the cillage and to a shoddily built cottage. I made myself clear for the enterauge to stop as I soon entered the cottage. Upon doing so I saw a surprisingly healthy woman for the rags she was wearing. She was cleaning the plate I had given the boy as if it was a treasure and upon seeing me dropped what was in her hands and knelt whilst holding herself in a praying position. I reformed the plate through bringing its state to before it shattered making the woman start apologizing profusely.

Before she let her emotions spiraled I said to her. "Bring your family here". Probably thinking that she had offended me somehow she started asking for forgiveness through tears. I then informed her "You, nor your family will be harmed." She theb proceeded to go put the "back door", and call for the father and 2 sons. As they meandered in their youngest, and reason I was here, looked excited. While the father and oldest looked at me warily. Taking no effense I conveyed my reason for being here. "I shall bring you to sanctuary." Upon hearing this the mother looked shocked, the father started thanking me, the eldest child seemed surprised, and the youngest seemed excited to be able to spend more time with me.

As this happened I commanded the hawk to land on the boys shoulder as it nuzzled his cheak. The father as any good father would thought this was wicked. The eldest son touched it and the mother looked worried. Informing them to pack up their belongings in suitcases I provided for them I decided to address the people outside.

"Any who wish to follow me to my sactuary can. Do note though that once you come you may never go back." I gave a choice to the congregation outside.

Once the family had finished packing I lead them, and any who chose to come. To the pond that the boy visited me at. I commanded everyone to go into it, and once going inside they were surprised. Aged men turned back to their prime, while the younger generations felt themselves grow healthier. Letting them soak for a while I ended up using reality to make the pond and everything within 20 kilometres away from it to be ignored by normal people.

As they soaked I went back to my sitting position facing the pond and willed back the book I was reading. After two hours the people started trickiling out if the pond. After they all got out I slowly stood up. Now with their attention on me I mainfested a wide arrangement of tools. The men knowing what was the come came forwards grabbed axes and started with the logging of trees for houses. I further created saws to cut up the logs and potable stations for the cutting.

Deciding to give the community even more of a jumpstart I handed a group of women books translated to Russian. They understanding what was to happen brought their own children to start learning its contents. Inside was everything I knew a fledgling community would need. Hunting and survival techniques, and fletching and carpentry for those gifted. That was all well and good but I called over the boy who had brought my attention.

As he came over to me I peered into the future and what I saw fascinated me. This boy was very smart, but more importantly had the willingness to learn. In each timeline I viewed whatever trade he persued he excelled in. Which usually brought his family out of poverty.

Even without the system the Wanderers Library responded to my choice of designating this child my student. As I did so he looked up at me surprised to which I reponded with a nod. And to the people present I disapeared without a trace.

Now inside the Wanderers Library I summoned a bunch of textbooks at a grade 1 level. The boy who looked very excited now deflated. It was then I realized I forgot I was in the year 1802 and that this child probably didn't know how to read. Desummoning all the other books I pulled a preschool book about reading out of the the Librarys bookshelf 16 million kilometres away.

I then proceeded to teach the boy everything I could.
