This really is a different world

After looking at what is written on the card, Raiden realizes that he is not familiar with the language. but he can still read it. He examined the card further but he still doesn't understand the symbols. He remembers, one of his unique skill was related to language.

Raiden brushed the idea aside and tried to hid the identification card in his pocket.

"Oh right. I don't have a pocket," "He muttered under his breath. After everything that happened, the panic in his mind and the excitement died down he realized he was wearing clothes that are similar to everyone in the village, A cloth tunic, pants, and leather shoes.

'I almost forgot this was a different world it felt like a province.' Raiden thought to himself then he realized something again.

He raises his arm and sniffed his armpits, a strong smell covered his nose, it was pungent.

"Ughh I should have thought about washing myself after I jogged earlier." Raiden talked to himself trying to think of a solution to wash his body.

Ena walked in front of Raiden, as she heard his predicament, "You can use the bucket in my house but you are going to need more clothes."

"Oh, You need clothes?" A woman, around her thirties, was standing behind Ena and asked.

"I don't really own anything other than the ones I'm wearing. By the way, I'm Raiden nice to meet you."Raiden said.

"My name is Daisy, I'm Richard's wife. If you didn't know I'm in charge of weaving and making clothes. The baron boar you two caught yesterday was quite furry so now I have enough thread to make a set of clothes. Since you helped hunting it you can have the clothes." Daisy said, offering help to Raidens smelly predicament.

"Thanks, Thank you so much," Raiden said in excitement.

"Great, I'll have them ready later," Said Daisy, before walking back inside her house.

After a daisy got inside the house Raiden asked Ena, "Wait, she forgot to take my measurements."

"Don't worry, she probably took it before she even spoke to us. And besides, if it's miss Daisy I'm sure there is no problem. She has a skill that allows her mana to take the shape of something in her memory, it would be like making clothes as if you were in front of her. Even more so, she is the second smartest person in the village, I see no problem whatsoever." Ena said.

"Who is first?" Raiden asked.

"Miss heather of course, now since your clothes will be finished later let's go hunting now," Ena said excitedly.

"Sure," Raiden said enthusiastically, it would be his first time hunting in a different world, somehow in his mind, he disregards what happened yesterday as his first hunting experience.

After remembering what happened to him yesterday, Raiden smiled, because this time he will be the one chasing the baron boar.

"Ok! wait for me in the gate also ask one of the guards where you can borrow a sword," Ena said, afterwards she ran towards the direction of her house.

Raiden walks towards the main gate, he sees a different person guarding the gate.

He approached the guard who looks to be only a few years older than him and asked, "Uhm, excuse me? where can I borrow a sword for hunting."

"Oh, you must be the new guy from yesterday my name is Kenny, nice to meet you," Kenny said while reaching out his hand. he seems like an easy-going person.

"Likewise, call me Raiden," Raiden said while shaking Kenny's hand.

"If you want a weapon you can take one from that shed over there you can keep it most of them are old and rusty but you can still find a decent one there," Kenny said as he points to a shed near cross the gate from their position.

"Thanks," Raiden said as he walks towards the shed. The small shed was locked with a small hook. After Raiden opens the door, the scent of metal and rust is the only thing Raiden can smell from the shed that was filled with various weapons, from spears, maces, and swords, As he scans the inside of the shed Raiden notices that one oh the short sword was giving off a faint flow, Raiden focus on its surrounding but no other thing was glowing. He then went out of the shed and looked around the shed.

"Don't like anything?" Kenny asked when he saw Raiden hurriedly went out of the shed.

"I'm still looking it was just dusty and stuffy," Raiden answered with a straight face. He then walked back inside the shed, went straight for the rusty short sword then went out of the shed, Raiden closed the door shed and examined the short sword.

It was a double-edged short sword that is the same length of his arm from his elbow to the tip of his fingers. He then notices something engraved in the hilt, it was almost unreadable because of the rust. "Wind apostle."

"That's quite rusty, nothing better?" Kenny said when he noticed Raiden come out of the shed with an almost brown sword.

Raiden then smiled and just said, "this can do."

Kenny just nodded. Raiden tried swinging the sword it still has a faint glow. He then tried injecting some mana into it, the glow got brighter.

"What, is there really nothing better for you to use?" Ena said behind Raiden.

Surprised, His concentration was broken, he then said with an awkward smile, "This is a good sword, probably."

"Ok, Here use this." Ena sighed and gave Raiden a belt with a sword sheath.

Raiden put the sword on the sheath and wore the belt.

"Later Kenny," Ena said to Kenny.

"Catch a bigger one," Kenny said while waving his hand.

The two then set off to hunt.

After a few steps, Ena asked Raiden, "Want to run. you seem to enjoy running anyway."

"Sure," Raiden said with an excited smile.
