Chapter 4: Tending to the wounds
Thank god for the automated walking!
It's already second time when I'm losing my consciousness but still move forward! If I were to just blank out and fall down, my lovely companion would surely notice that something is amiss! While I believe I could figure out some kind of teary story to explain my sudden collapse, with every unusual event happening to me, her guard would be raised higher and higher!
Despite logging out of the real world, I'm still able to read all those messages that swarm my entire vision. Thankfully, finishing off a single message makes it disappear entirely, but it does not make it as easy as I would want it to!
"Blop"
"Resistance stat upgraded."
"Blop"
"Resistance stat upgraded."
"Blop"
"Resistance stat upgraded."
Reading through over seventy messages like that could be endured, but finishing all of them didn't even affect how blocked my vision is! Unable to wake up or just delete all those messages, I have to arm myself with all the patience that I have and keep reading!
After what seemed like an eternity, I could finally see the real world again. The first thing that I notice, is how tattered the formerly beautiful robes of the woman are. Sprayed with blood and cut in several places, they serve as a testimony of how many troubles she had to endure. Looking closer, I even managed to see some shallow cuts on her body that were still oozing out blood!
While I would love to help her somehow, I only had a slight overview of what happened to me! Even if the messages that I read gave me some ideas about what happened and what this whole system is about, I still need to test it out before acting!
But what really happened to me? If I were to sort the messages in the most rational order, they would come out like that:
{------}
"Installation of the system complete"
"Opening starter pack"
"Host unconscious, distributing attributes according to the past experiences"
"Distribution is done"
"Launching the starter guide to the reincarnated RPG system by GODalmightyANDc.o. v1.2534"
"Closing starter guide"
{------}
Yes, only those messages bear actually some sense for me. I think that recalling messages like:
"Authorizing access to VYZZKGA.1415323 synapse" or "Implementation of the H13be451aabba5867 module" would be as stupid as was showing them to me. Maybe I had to reach a higher level to understand them?
All that matters right now is to test how much stronger did I get. What would be the use of those stats if my capabilities didn't change at all? As we are still travelling through the forest, I wait for the moment when the girl will bother herself with defending against another magical beast.
"Blop"
"Aquired skill: Walker 1"
What the hell!
I was simply moving forward in a perfectly straight line, and I get rewarded for doing that? What's the use of obtaining this skill anyway? Can I walk better now? Does this even make any fucking sense?
Putting the matter of testing my attributes to the back of my head, I focus on the way I'm walking to see if there is any difference compared to my usual experience.
Step. Step. Step. Step.
Wow! There are some changes out there!
While it's nothing to be proud of, I can feel my steps being a lot smoother than before, as if my muscles achieved a greater height of proficiency using lesser energy to move my legs forward! Intoxicated with the feeling of the discovery, I pass by the girl.
"Master?"
Only when she shouted out to me, I did realise that even the length of my strides enhanced! Apparently this skill - despite being only at the lowest possible level - can actually influence my everyday ability by a huge margin!
"Don't worry. I think that I regained a bit of my strength, so I can't allow you to take all the hurdle on yourself!"
Taking a closer look at her, she is in a really bad state. Forcing herself to push forward, she chose to ignore all the wounds that she had on her body. If this situation continue, she could even collapse out of bloodloss!
Unable to watch this situation develop in this direction, I stop in my tracks and turn around.
"Sit down, I need to tend to your wounds. Forcing yourself won't lead to anything good!"
Lying my hand on her shoulder, I force the young girl to stop and then sit down. While pushing her down, my palm accidentally touches the bare skin near her collarbone. Even if it was a fleeting moment, my mind is instantly overwhelmed by how pleasant it felt to my hand! Seems like bandaging her wounds won't be as easy as I assumed it would be!
"Tell me, which wounds are the worst?"
While I ask her where should I start, I tear a piece of cloth from one of the cuts on her arm. Her robe is no longer an elaborate piece of dress that it used to, so it will be better to cover her cuts with it instead of just watching it get destroyed even more by the claws and teeth of some damned magical beats!
"I think it's this one."
With her face instantly covering in a blush, she reveals a long and ugly cut going horizontally across her belly. Looking at all the mud and dirt inside the wound, I am barely able to hold myself from puking!
Rubbing my storage ring with my thumb, I take out a small gourd of heavy brew that my father placed it in here. With how well he knew me, he probably wanted me to consume it when on the verge of dying to at least ease my pain. Thanks for all the knowledge from my school, I at least know that strong alcohol can disinfect the wounds!
When I uncork the bottle, a pleasant aroma spreads through the air. As soon as the girl smelled it, she tried to move, but with my hand still on her shoulder, she is unable to escape her ordeal. Just as she opened her mouth to shout something, I pour half of the gourd content on her wound!
Expecting her to suddenly wiggle in a bout of pain, I move my hand from her shoulder to her head and start patting it. Maybe this slight comfort will ease her suffering. I don't know! I never touched a girl before so how can I know how will she react?!
Contrary to my expectations, the girls face twist in an expression of extreme bliss. Biting her lower lip in what looked like an extasy, her face turns bright red from the agitation. Unable to look her into the eyes anymore, I turn my sight back to her belly.
FUCK!
With how her delicate muscles are wiggling under her velvet skin, with the blueish liquor flowing on her belly If not for the ugly wound, this would be the most arousing sight I have What the hell is going on?
How did this ugly wound turn normal in a matter of seconds! While it's still an open cut, it looks like it was made by one, clean slash with a perfectly sharp sword now!
"Blop!"
"The woman is in a state of extreme arousal."
"Blop!"
"Mating is recommended to gather the energy required for levelling up"
"Blop"
"Do you wish to proceed?"
As soon as I lift the gourd neck to stop the strange brew from flowing out, I tear another bit of the girl robes and bind the separate parts to make it into a makeshift bandage. Even with the wondrous effects of this strange liquid, leaving the open wound is the worst thing that I can think of.
"I'm gonna lift your bottom, for now, I need to cover this wound with the bandage!"
As I refrained from touching her all along, I feel bound to warn her in advance. What if she decides to sue me for molesting later on? My life would be over in this world then!
No matter how dire the situation is, I'm just a man! When I placed my hand on the lower portion of her back and lifted her from the ground, I pretend to not realise that it accidentally slipped a bit lower! Feeling the heavenly soft sensation of her bottom in my hand, I pass the improvised bandage under her body.
Willing the help me, she extends her hands and grabs the back of my neck, using it as a support to hold her lower body in the air. With a few swift moves, I roll what used to be her robe over the wound, and gently place her down. With my hand still under her bottom, I pull it out while drowning in the sensation of her bottom squished on my hand!
Ok, that's enough playing for today!
"Ma-master"
Probably overwhelmed by the pain, she is unable to articulate her words properly. I can't let such a lovely girl suffer so much! Without the slightest hesitation, I place the gourd opening on her lips and lift the container. Forcing the liquid down her throat, I make sure that she drinks the rest of my father's brew. Everyone knows how great of painkiller alcohol is!
Before I even manage to say something, her eyes roll back and she passes out.
Good!
Now she won't need to suffer the pain from her wounds! But that leaves me with another problem. With my courtesy ruling my actions, I just lost my last bit of protection from the magic beasts! And as if God wanted me to live in constant fear and terror, I hear footsteps somewhere nearby!
FUCK!
Unable to control my emotions, I turn fully around and smash my fist furiously on the tree!
Whoah!
Contrary to the expectations, instead of breaking my hand, I only feel a small itch. The expected feeling of hard resistance from the tree didn't come either! What I never expected at that moment, was for this good old and big tree to snap in half as if it was made from the paper!
Normally I would rejoice at seeing such a powerful effect of a random punch, but as soon as I raised my sight to look at the broken tree, I notice a multiple pair of eyes turning into a massive body of a damn magical best entering my field of view!
