The Village

How amazing it was to sleep in a bed! Though the mattress was stuffed with old straw and the linen was dirty and littered with holes, it was still much better to sleep on that, than in an open field or a branch.

When I opened my eyes, I didn’t at first understand what time it was; the shutters were closed and it was pretty dark in the room. But the sunlight was coming through the slits, and I could hear voices outside.

I went to bed when dawn was starting to break. By that time, the villagers had gathered all of the bodies and lit two bonfires. The smell was awful, and I couldn’t make myself to watch till the end. I talked to Shawn and went to my temporary home — one of the houses whose hosts didn’t live through last night.

I sat up and stretched. At first I wanted to open the shutters, but I decided to wait a little. I opened my inventory and glanced at the Altars. Unable to hold myself, I chuckled proudly, remembering our last night’s adventure.

Putting it mildly, it was a miracle. The world, or “the system”, counted all the residents of Ilyenta as “lives saved by the pure being”. Why did it do that, I had no clue. After all, this wasn’t the first time I’ve saved someone; — I saved four from the illusion of the Will of the Mother of the Decayed”; rescued Berg from Baron Tsunter; and before that, I helped Una and three other people to get out of the burning Listeri. I wasn’t given anything back then, however. Why? Three possible explanations came to my mind: either because the Altar of Light and the Altar of Twilight weren’t activated at that moment and couldn’t be “charged”; because Ilyenta’s habitants would’ve be a hundred percent dead if it wasn’t for me; or because I had simply missed something. All the theories, except maybe the first one, looked somehow too far-fetched. However, a lot of things were possible in this world.

More than that, the enemies, who I had damaged but were finished off by others were counted as “spared” by the system. So, right now I had two hundred and forty nine lives.

Besides, the Old Man was highly appreciative of my success. Having prayed before going to sleep and dedicating to him all of my deeds, I got a surprising amount of faith points, the total of which was now two hundred and thirty two.

Also, after last night’s battle and completing Rugus’s quest, I reached level 61 and was near reaching 62.

Thinking about it, I closed my inventory without taking anything out of it. I decided to take a look at my stats first.

They were impressive.

Level 61

Vitality: 280

Endurance: 163

Strength: 192

Agility: 180

Intelligence: 217

I also had three skill points, five everyday points and one personality point. After some thought, I put the last one in Gloominess. Nothing special happened, but I wasn’t upset. A possibility of learning a new skill
