Chapter 5

Soon, five shabby men came forward.

They generally wore old, linen-colored clothes, with unkempt beards on their faces, making it difficult to tell their age.

“You names…”

Aaron Sotos sighed in his heart and asked.

“I am Sanchez.”

“Green.”

“Beck.”

“Adam.”

“Ba Zhi, my lord.”

The five militiamen reported their names, and Aaron glanced at the man named ‘Ba Zhi’. He looked to be about thirty, with a thin face and monkey-like features, showing a flattering smile when he saw Aaron’s gaze, but ruined by his rotten teeth.

Aaron took a look at the man’s left and right hands, and as expected, both were missing the little fingers, and he had a thought in his heart.

According to the law set by Theodore, anyone caught stealing in the territory would be immediately subjected to the ‘chop fingers’ punishment!

‘This man had two fingers chopped off, which means he was caught twice, and who knows how many times he wasn’t caught…’

‘A despicable thief, simple and honest farmers… Father has really given me a great choice.’

Aaron’s voice became serious: “Starting today, you are the small team leaders, and you must complete the tasks I assign, especially on the battlefield, understand?”

A round of weak voices responded, and it was clear that this was a group of slackers.

On the battlefield, their first priority would be to save their lives, and they may also have some skills in plundering for spoils of war, but to have them fight with strong enemies, it’s just a dream!

Fortunately, Aaron never had much hope for them.

To the lord, they were nothing but cannon fodder.

For Aaron, having this group as meat shields was good enough to at least divert the enemy’s attention when running away!

“Now, start training!”

He coughed and pointed with his long sword at Ba Zhi: “You, come and spar with me!”

Aaron did study some skills in dealing with people, and he planned to establish his authority right now.

The other party was just a starving thief who might have some experience in street fighting, but no matter what, he wouldn’t be a match for someone with proper knight training like himself!

…

In the forest.

After briefly giving instructions to the small team leaders, boosting morale by promising future division of spoils, and showing off his authority, Aaron went hunting in the forest with his bow and arrow.

Whoosh!

His archery was also well-practiced, and though not as good as a professional archer, it was still presentable.

At this moment, he caught sight of a prey’s trace in the corner of his eye, directly drew his bow and arrow, released his fingers, and the bowstring trembled continuously.

Plop!

Not far away, a young deer was pierced by the arrow and fell to the ground, with a pool of blood flowing out.

“Today’s luck is not bad, I can have an extra meal.”

Aaron nodded, taking the hunted prey out of the forest.

As he walked, the civilians in Lower Green Forest saw him and bowed in respect.

Aaron, with a cold expression, didn’t pay much attention to them. After all, he was used to this and couldn’t possibly respond to everyone, only occasionally acknowledging the high-profile people on the territory with a nod.

In no time, he arrived outside the castle.

Jinnie was holding the hem of her cake skirt and about to go out when she saw Aaron and greeted him, “Aaron… is this your prey?”

She had beautiful blonde hair, with the gem-like purple eyes inherited from the Sotos Family, now blinking incessantly as she stared at Aaron’s prey, her expression full of longing.

Aaron smiled and patted Jinnie’s head, “Don’t worry, you won’t be left out.”

He found it amusing and remembered the past.

He still remembered the first time Jinnie saw him kill a wild rabbit; the little girl’s eyes filled with tears: “Rabbits are so cute, why do you have to kill them?”

And then… Aaron made a Braised Rabbit dish and stuffed a piece into Jinnie’s mouth…

In the end, Jinnie discovered a new continent— it turned out that little rabbits were not only cute, but also delicious!

Not only that, but the parents of the little rabbit were also very tasty!

Little deer were equally delicious!

“Then it’s settled, this is our agreement for a lifetime.”

Jinnie playfully blinked her eyes.

Aaron’s palm couldn’t help but slide down, pinching Jinnie’s smooth cheek.

Well, it’s true that little girls are the cutest, which made him feel a bit lost. He should have had a daughter in his previous life, but for now, he’d put aside his good-for-nothing son.

‘Although… I didn’t even have a wife in my previous life…’

“I’m already ten years old; don’t pinch my face anymore.”

Jinnie, with puffed-up cheeks, swatted away Aaron’s hand, her cheeks swelling like steamed buns, as if performing a face-changing act.

“Haha!”

Seeing this scene, Aaron couldn’t help but laugh joyfully.

Although Sonia and Sean were very annoying, this little sister was still quite adorable.

He just wondered if their pure sibling relationship could still be maintained after she grew up?

Thinking of Colin and Sean, Aaron couldn’t help but sigh.

…

Night fell.

Once again entering the Dream World.

The originally azure sea, reflecting the crimson light, had begun to change, turning into a crimson sea, like a ‘Red Sea’!

Aaron looked up and stared at the crimson sun, unsure if it was an illusion, but it seemed that it was becoming more crimson, giving off an extremely uncomfortable, nauseating feeling.

Red to the point of blackness, as if blood was about to drip down…

‘I can actually do this in my dreams…’

Aaron looked at the direction he had set but didn’t start moving.

According to his observations, movement also required energy.

And the accumulation of sixteen years had been exhausted in changing the sun.

Now he was back to the hard times of his childhood, but at least he could start taking action.

‘The energy I have now is precious, and in the real world, there’s also the danger of war. It’s a waste to use it for something like movement, so I might as well try something that will help me… for instance, bringing the mysterious power from my dreams to the real world. Even if it’s only a millionth or a hundred thousandth of the whole, it would still be unparalleled in the real world, and maybe… even make me immortal?’

Aaron’s eyes revealed his desire as he began trying to recall the feeling of changing the sun before.

That kind of— power of the Dream Creator!

“I want to become stronger!”

“I want to obtain mystery!”

“I want to become extraordinary!”

…

With a prayer-like manner, Aaron recited his requirements in his heart.

Complex and terrifying sounds came to his ears.

As if witnessing the day it all happened, endless chaos and madness emerged.

In a nearly delirious state, Aaron received his ‘feedback’!

[Mystery is insufficient!]

“Mystery? Is that the energy I defined before, the thing that will be produced with each day I enter my dreams?”

Aaron found that in his half-mad state, his authority had been raised, giving him a ‘know-it-all’ sort of experience.

‘Now I can’t transform my body because I don’t have…’

‘Awareness of the extraordinary can be obtained, but there’s not enough energy!’

‘Moreover, it’s easy to become extraordinary in this world, but to reveal it in the real world is very difficult!’
