1st Welkalach of Fezariel Year 1205

7.00 pm Zeyle's House

Lucy's POV

After grabbing the old man from the Hunter's Guild to come home, we are now eating in the dining room. There is a total of 8 people, Me, Christine, Zeyle old man, my 3 little adopted brothers, and 2 adopted little sisters.

" Boys and girls, because daddy today is very naughty, he will have the same amount of meat as you guys~. So remember don't be naughty if not your food will be reduced~" I said towards the little kids. While the old man is pouting in his corner.

" How about me~ you haven't introduced me~ Lucy chan~," Christine said annoyingly.

" Oh yeah, this here is a stupid girl called Christine because she didn't study at all, she can't speak Zars. Do not be like her and remember to study hard ok?" I told the kids

" OK," they said uniformly. Good kids...

" Now let's start to eat before it gets cold ok?" " Ok~," I told the kids and they replied.

" Eat now. I'm going to drill some basic knowledge to you later..." I said towards Christine.

" Cant we learn tomorrow please...." she said and I immediately deny her.

" Either you learn some basic words later, or this plate of yours will be given to the old man and the kids," I said to her.

" Meanie" is what she managed to say before she filled her mouth with Julakhog steak.

" Boys and girls what do you think Sister Christine looks like~," I asked the kids

" Like a goblin" " Very ugly " "She is very hilarious " " Like a dirty girl" " I would want to marry her" that's some good response... wait what's the last one? " Zach... No meat for you tomorrow." I said toward the boy who said the weird statement... 

" What what, why is that boy suddenly crying," Christine asks. " Don't worry it's just that he won't get breakfast tomorrow."

After eating dinner and cleaning up, I bring Christine into my room.

" Bringing a girl into your room, with only the two of us here, what are you going to do with me~~," Christine says in a very V E R Y sultry voice.

Can I just lock her in here and leave...

" Sit down there and listen to me... I will teach you how to talk simple sentences for tonight... Because tomorrow I will need to bring you out and explore the town. If you cant damn remember what I taught you tonight, no dinner for you tomorrow. Do you understand?" I said to Christine.

" Do you really need to rush all these things~ Can't we just take it easy~?" Christine said.

" When Marco, Adeline, and Beno reach, we may need to go across this continent or even go to other continents to find them. If y ou cannot speak Zars, then every time we go and search them, you will be left behind here. What will you do to get food. Ask the old man? Can you even ask him if you don't know anything?"

INSERTING 2 HOURS OF LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING TIMESKIP

" Tomorrow you're going to the market and buy breakfast with me and you will be buying your own portion. If you can congratulations, if not then I guess you have to continue the day without eating I guess~" I said to Christine

" You devil... I can feel my brain is going to die on me anytime soon!" Christine whined.

"That's your fault for not getting the translation skill," I replied to her

" I thought that translation would take a skill slot and didn't want it! I want other cool skills!" Christine said

" And what 'Cool' skills you got then," I retorted.

" I have an inventory that can store a lot of items! I also have a map to see wherever I went to before! Lastly, I can protect myself with barrier magic! Cool right!" She said. This answer... so basically [ Inventory ], [ Map ] and [ Barrier Magic ]. Inventory is good but... not specifying the space will give you the lower-tier skill... The map is a good skill so I won't comment on that. Barrier magic... is pretty useless... at least in personal combat. If I were to use barriers it might be good, trapping an area so it runs out of mana is a good idea to use it. But knowing Christine.... It's a shitty skill.

" Good luck surviving out there alone...." I said to her after listening to the skills that she got.

" Alright. language is done now its time to teach you a bit about where we are living in." I said to her while bringing out a map.

"This is where we are in now, the town of Edolophine. The big building here is the town center. It is where most of the government stuff and most permits are given out. Tomorrow we are going there to get an ID for you there after we finish lunch. The big building here is the Hunters guild. We went there today where you found me or I found you whatever. This one here is the crafters guild. It is not as big as the hunters guild because it is divided into a lot of sections internally, the nearby buildings are all the subdivisions of the crafters guild. Get me so far?" I asked and Christine nodded. I don't know if she really understands or is just trying to make me finish faster. If she gets lost I'm not responsible for it...

" Most of the stalls that sell fresh groceries would be at the town plaza in the morning. In the night there will be a night market too that sells a lot of food. If you want any goods such as armor, weapons, or even just clothes, go to the ones in the crafter district. Everything sold in the center district is aimed at rich people. If you really want to buy stuff there, earn your own money for it!" I warned Christine.

" There isn't any noble district or something?" Christine asked.

" Nobilities only exist in the human nations. In this kingdom, we all live as one and fight as one, there are no classes here. If you are clever enough, you can be in the government, if you are strong enough, go dig and help the fields. Everything can earn you money as long as you work hard for it. Understand?" I asked again and she nodded. This time I brought out a second map, the map of the Zarcara Continent.

" OK now in this continent there are four main kingdoms. The first Kingdom is where we are in. It represents the biggest kingdom and controls the largest amount of land. The Estaria Kingdom. We mainly control the grasslands and are the main food exporter to the other nations here. Most of the population here are elves. Races like the beastman and dwarves also prominent in big cities like the capital. It would be rare to have them in small towns like this. Demons, necroids, and other races from other continents would only be at the capital. Though if you go near the Lakris forest you might be able to find dryads, ents and the like. Any questions so far?" I asked Christine

" What are Necroids?" she asked.

"Let's leave that alone first. Cause if I explain the necroids without explaining the continents it would be confusing." I said and she nodded.

" At the northwest side of the continent is the beastkin kingdom of Yarkania. They control the entire savannah on the northwest side of the continent. The beastkin kingdom is near the remnants of the kingdom of Kraak. I'll explain the history of that later. The kingdom of Beastkin is famous for its animal products. The milk and meat that they produced there are top-notch. Their lands though smaller than the Estaria Kingdom contain more plant types than us. There are also more types of wildlife there. The Yarkania Kingdom consist of mainly the beastmen and also the merfolk from the Kraak kingdom, at Yarkania is the only two kingdoms you can see a human alive, the second one being the dwarven kingdom of Argerios. At the north desert is the Kingdom of Sandra. Ironically even though the Kingdom of Sandra is located in a desert, they are actually the largest exporter of fish. They have various species of desert fish that are pretty tasty. I highly recommend the desert eel! The Sandra Kingdom mainly has the serpents such as Medusa, Lamia, and other desert living beastkins such as jackals and others. And no they don't build pyramids and sphinx." Christine pouted as I said that.

" Lastly on the center of the continent is the dwarven kingdom of Argerios. It is located within the mountains of Argos. The council in the Argerios kingdom is also named Argos by the way. The kingdom of Argerios produces the best ores and metal. If it isn't the fact that some metals require different requirements to form, I can say that the kingdom of Argerious would have most of the metals. Argerios is also famous for its beer production. In Argerious you would mostly be able to find of course dwarves and also lizardkin. Dragonkins like what Beno wanted is rare but you would still be able to find them within the crowd. The Argerios Kingdom also has the most human population in this continent, though most of them are slaves or prisoners of war. You rarely find a free human like Sam in here." I explained.

I took out another map. This time it's the map of the world of Astrea.

" In this world of Astrea, there are eight continents, two of them are the polar continents which are located at the north and south, along with 6 other continents. Two of these six remaining continents does not have any species except human living on it. The reason why is that these two continents are devoid of mana. Because that every being in Astrea requires mana to live, we naturally cannot go near those two continents. The one where humans live on is called the Hikurak Continent, though if you ask humans they would say it's called the Holy Continent of Regalia. A shitty name I must say. The Hikurak Continent is located northwest of our continent. The other continent is called the Zekarth Continent, it is located west of our continent. Until now we only heard of Necroid pioneers trying to colonize that continent other than that, I don't think there are any sentient species on that continent. The necroids also live on the polar continents by the way. Along with some other small tribes of other species that are cold resistant." I said while taking a break to drink some water.

" Next is our neighbors. Namely the Demons, Dryads, and also Silicoids. Each of them resides on one continent other than the remaining ones. To our north is the continent of Desarrkti. Demons live on this continent. Though there are also many other races on there, demons remained a majority. Humans are absolutely not allowed on the demon continent. I'll leave the history to that to another time. To our east is the dryad continent of Yskrasidria. It is mostly called the resort continent by us. The dryads and treants know how to maintain their ecosystem so it is preserved pretty well. Each major kingdoms have a town at the coast of Yskrasidria the courtesy of the Old Treant King. The next continent is located northeast of us called Kesintorr. Silicoids, gnomes, and kobolds live there. This place is jointly managed by all major kingdoms cause its volcano is pretty unstable. We have to keep moving the settlements in order to harvest obsidian and lava stone there. The last continent is the continent we are in, the Zarcara continent or we normally say Zars." I finished.

...

" WAKE UP YOU BASTARD!" I shouted towards Christine.

Benokelvin

Phew, that's a lot of worldbuilding. The maps will all be edited in as soon as it updated. I will post a separate chapter later to explain these continents and stuff.

I apologize first because originally there should be images in some places but smh its not working.

2nd Edit : Alright the maps are now in place :D
