Chapter 5 - 5. Rediscovering My Skills

"Oops... I'm terribly sorry. It must be my empty stomach complimenting on the first food when it had entered after being empty and in bed for so long." I explained apologetically as both of them had put on their face masks.

The smell was extremely overpowering and that wad one that I could compliment on right now. Not overpowering on one's strength or formidability but in the smell of my fart. Hah hah hah...OP FART! How that's for a change?!

"It's alright, we understand. We presume that you are feeling much better now that you had gained your voice and your appetite." Prius was eyeing the empty bowl of gruel that was replaced there every day, hoping that I would wake up one day and have the strength to feed myself.

Patricia was going about the room as she sprayed Glade air freshener to rid of the horrible stench of a dead rat that had somehow fumigated the room from my butt hole. Hah hah hah. It took a while before the air freshener was able to suppress the foul smell and in turn replaces it with a light floral scent.

Both of them removed their protective 3M N95 face masks and sighed a relief since the foul, overpowering stench had left the room. "That's one hell of a fart, my young friend. It could be bottled and sold to the with Doctor here in this settlement to be made into a kind of stink bomb to be used against the foes." Prius joked as he stood there with his hands on his sides.

Patricia handed me several pieces of clothing to choose from and I chose one that had a tag on it still. It says 'Basic Medieval Tunic-Model BMT9718' with a price tag of $31.99. It was a light brown long sleeve tunic that reached down just below the knees and had dark brown trimmings for the neck, end of the sleeves and end of the tunic as well. A brown sash was provided and accentuates well with the plain round neck design of the tunic.

A black pair of cotton tweed pants from BritishIndia was provided along with a soft pair of leather Timberland moccasins. Some boxers shorts were provided too based on my wear on the first few series of the past novel.

Patricia handed me a pair of black and grey short trousers that was just above the knee, several woollen black, red and green beret and a simple black archer's hood. There was also an assorted of short and long sleeve swordsman tunic with a lace up front in light brown, dark brown, blue and black.

I thanked her and looked at the spread of new clothing that are still in their plastic wraps and discovered that there is a tag that was marked as peasant's wear, battle gear and I could mix and match with the main apparel that I had chosen.

Well, what can I say... These clothes had been provided for me for the duration of this series and these are much better than the one I wore during Robin's adventure. Hah hah hah.

"Get changed and Prius would be meeting you in the great hall. Sit for a while more, steady your blood from rushing away from your head the moment you stand up."

"There's a sweetened cranberry juice for you to steady your hypoglycaemia. I'd be in the kitchen preparing lunch now. Be seeing you in a bit."

Patricia said as both she and her brother moved out of the room and shutting the door after them. I took the only thing that was in the sack, which is my identification tag and place it in the side table and flung the sack underneath the bed. No other contents were in the sack and wondered that the 50 credits were either deposited in my interface automatically.

"Now, what would I do with all these clothes spread out before me. Hmm, since I've got an interface, might as well I try something out." I muttered to myself as I opened up the interface on my mind and saw my stats once more and on the right I saw an image of myself clad in the loose cotton pants like a paper doll.

"Well, if that's the case, dressing up would not be too bad though. Let me store these clothes over first." and as the clothes were swiped over physically with my hands, it disappeared before me and entered the interface and into a storage slot that had 12 slots underneath it. It was marked as 'Costumes'

"Not bad... Not bad at all..." I said as I saw numerous slots that were greyed out and I picked the light brown tunic and placed it into the slot for the outerwear and it automatically showed the image of me wearing it.

The same process was repeated with the boxers, pants, shoes, simple black archer's hood and my identification tag. All fitted nicely into its designated slot and had a few more slots mean for rings on both hands as well.

There is a tab where it shows 'Battle Gear' and I find that it was empty and I tried to move some clothes into it but was returned back into the 'Costumes' tab instead. So this tab here is meant for me to equip armours and weapons, plus all the glittery accessories that were unfortunately unable to stack.

There were a number of slots on the right side that was meant for 3 types of weapons, a shield, a mount as well as 12 different parts of body armour. On the left side of the image of me had accessories slot for a single amulet, 2 earrings, 2 bracelets and 2 rings.

The attributes and the stats were on the left indicating my offence, defence and life which at the moment was paltry of the lowest digits that is not worth mentioning. It looks more complicated with all sorts of information that only would cause further confusion in the future so I decided not to touch on that matter, yet.

I switched the interface off and I saw that using the so-called 'paper doll' to dress up and change my outlook seems rather nifty. "Hah... So much so for the upgrade of this system. It looks more complicated than before. I wonder if the Realm of Mind is still the same." I sat on the bed cross-legged and started to meditate and soon I entered my Realm of Mind.

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering the Realm of Mind.

*Ding* Congratulation on discovering the Fusion Chamber.

Everything looked the way it was before, the Fusion Chamber, the leftover poor quality gems, the Stanspar jewels, the skill tomes and also some leftover steel accessories that were left unsocketed.

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering the Smelting Production area.

I swiped the scene and was in the Refined Iron production area and saw the stockpile of over 50k pieces of Refined Steel is still there in the output conveyor dispensing area. The caged trolley had been pushed out of the dispensing area for other projects to come, I hope.

"Well, if I'm ever short of credits, I could sell these or even upgrade the weapons or armours before selling them off. I wonder what kind of ingots they have available right now in the market." I said aloud to myself and to no one in particular.

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering the Blacksmith and Forging Area.

I swiped again and seeing my Blacksmithing and Forging area still exists and waiting for me to smelt and forge my own weapons and armour pieces there. It had not been used for a long time since I only forge the weapon that I needed before. All I need it to make some designs and I may make my own weapons if the existing one is too shabby to wield. I soon logged off from my meditative state and went back into the 'real world'.

"Damn... Its a total restart of everything that I had acquired before and I had become a newborn to what I had learnt before." I swung my legs over the bed and sat there for a moment before I slowly stood up.

I felt slightly dizzy and started seeing stars before me as I quickly reached for the sweetened cranberry juice that was prepared beforehand and gulped it down. There was a shield and two swords just above the mantlepiece and I guess that it was part of room decoration and are just ornamental pieces.

A full-sized mirror stood at the corner of the room near to a 3 layered wooden armoire and I walked over and checked myself out. I stood there and rubbed my two palms together as I slowly gathered energy around me.

*Ding* Congratulation on discovering Psi Energy Healing Spheres.

The Psi Energy Healing Spheres was placed to my chest and it immediately absorbed within me, invigorating my body instantly.

I snapped my right thumb and middle finger together and a small fire emerged at the tip of my thumb and immediately snuffed it out.

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering Black Fire.

Next, I raised my right palm over my left and summoned energy through it and a red glow in the shape of a fireball emerged through it.

*Ding* Congratulations on discovering Kamehameha Fireball.

"OFF" I commanded and the fireball disintegrated back as if it had never existed there in the first place.

Soon, I conjured up the same Kamehameha fireball in my left hand and slowly a small reddish-orange fire emerged on top of my palm, gently hovering and dancing a few inches over it.

*Ding* Congratulation on discovering Portable Furnace to produce 'Pills Through Mind Control'.

"OFF" I commanded once again and the portable furnace disintegrated just like how the Kamehameha Fireball did as well.

"Not too shabby, Audemar... not too shabby indeed. It had been 6 months since you had left the bed and you looked too pathetic and had no class and professions at all. Haisshh... This is going to be one super-long adventure again since everything had to be started from scratch."

I looked at myself through the mirror and scratched the non-existent itch at the back of my head as I headed towards the door leading to the Great Hall.
