Anthony Saunders saw in the window that it was getting dark, meaning that it was almost nighttime already. It was a good thing since he would have plenty of time to explore the intricacies of his Diablo II system.

After a while, the middle-aged man he assumed was his father brought another bowl of food to him. It was still the same stew or soup with cabbages, leeks, and potatoes. He noticed that there was some meat in it and from what he knew from reading, meat was a luxury for the very poor people in these types of settings.

While he was eating, he observed the room he was in. It was very small, that was separated by a thin wall from the main house. There was only the bed, a couple of chests at the foot of the bed, the window, and then the wall and the doorway to the main house. There wasn’t even a door or even a curtain on the doorway, just an opening. The blanket that he was using was very thin, but he did have a thin pillow.

He told his father that he wanted to use the bathroom and he was brought by his father outside the room assisting him fully, almost carrying him. The main part of the house was just another room with a fireplace and in front of it were chairs. There was a table and chairs in the middle of the room where he assumed everyone normally ate. There was no other furniture that he could see. There was another room beside the one he was using though. He saw on the fireplace a huge iron pot where the soup or stew was being kept warm.

The house was built with a combination of stone and wood and from what Anthony could see, even though everything looked shabby, they were very sturdy.

There were two doors. One located at the front and one at the back of the house. His father led him to the door located at the back where he assumed the bathroom was located and when he saw the bathroom, it was an actual outhouse. The outhouse was surprisingly big and located just to the right. To the left was the backyard which he assumed was the farm. He could see a cow, a goat, and a pig inside a pen located on the left side and he could see the farm beyond it. He could also hear the chickens.

When he entered the outhouse, it actually consisted of two rooms. One room was where he could do his business and the other was where people could wash themselves. It was separated by a wall. There was actual water on what he assumed was a tightly constructed wooden barrel in both rooms of the outhouse.

Anthony entered the second room and there was an actual toilet made from wood that he could sit on and there was another barrel filled with water. The barrel had a wooden dipper and surprisingly there was a huge bar of soap. The floor of the outhouse was stone but had a drain in it, meaning he could pour water on the floor and the water would naturally drain to somewhere.

He really needed more information about the world since some things didn’t conform to what he knew a medieval setting should have and the soap was one of them. He remembered that this was not the Earth’s past but a parallel world or a different world so he shouldn’t assume too much based on Earth’s history.

After doing his business and washing himself using soap and water, Anthony went back outside, and he saw that his father was waiting for him. That confirmed the fact that the family did care about him, and it brought up feelings in him that he thought had long been buried when his family died in his previous world.

The moment his father and he got back to the house, he saw that the girl who could be his sister was on the table eating a bowl of the stew, soup thing.

“Anton! Are you okay now?” The girl asked.

“Don’t bother him. He is still weak and probably would need to rest more,” The man replied for him.

Anthony was led back to his room, and he lay down on the bed. Night fully arrived and everything went dark. The girl lit up a lamp and the only light in the house was the fireplace and the single lamp.

He didn’t even know the name of the man and the girl and would tackle that the next day when he was a bit stronger. He would claim that he had some memory loss due to sickness since he didn’t have any choice in the matter. Anthony didn’t receive any memories from the previous owner of the body. The only thing he knew so far was the name of the boy which was Anton.

Anthony could still hear some noises outside the room, and it was probably the man and the girl doing some sort of household chores that they could do at night. It would probably take them a couple more hours before they would retire, so he decided to explore his Diablo II icon.

He summoned the starting screen and then clicked on the browser button. It opened a new window, and it had the logo of a very famous search engine. He typed in the date and time on the search field, and it showed the date and the time of his previous world since it showed a few days later the last time he checked using his smartphone.

That meant that the browser was connected to his previous world, and it gave him an enormous sense of relief since he didn’t have to give up his love of reading web novels or watching animes, television shows, and movies. He tried to check if he could download anything using the browser but unfortunately, it didn’t allow him to download any apps or programs. He could watch anything, search anything but he couldn’t communicate and even make a comment on anything when he tried it on a famous video streaming website. Still, the fact that he could search for anything like instructions on how to create anything would give him an enormous advantage in the new world. Having all the information about his previous world was a huge advantage that would probably give him enormous wealth in this world, but he should take care since he didn’t know the details of this world yet and anything he did could come back and bite him in the ass.

Before he invent anything that would give him wealth from the information that he has available, he would need to check things in this world first just to be safe. Again, he didn’t want to be burned at the stake as a witch. He then wondered if there were wizards and magic in this world.
