Chapter 7 - First army (2)

-[Ding]- notification awaked him out of sudden from his thought.

-[Deity! Has pleased with your work.]- 

-[Deity gifted you 1000EP coins.]

Seeing this Raven dumbfounded while muttered "Well! that's unexpected."

He had painfully struggled over the past two days to earn EP. He did every ridiculous task in the village, from helping Rhaela wash clothes to giving food to those in need.

But nothing gave him a single EP which left him believe only by killing monster and exchange the mana core he could earn EP but its seems that not it. by doing certain task he could Earn EP.

'Could System give me more EP by giving speech', Raven thought.

He calmed down the excited youths and middle age man, just by waving his hands.

"For those of you who are hunter from young and hunted more than one Bear, step out so i can identify you." Raven announced.

Three men—two middle-aged and one young—stepped out, their foots caked with mud. To everyone's surprise, the dirt-covered young man was Rowan, only beggar boy of the village.

'Do you have any backstory' Raven thought but its evident that he isn't in mood to find out about it.

"Starting today, you three will be captain of the new units, make good use of our resource, and make our village strong again."

"We will." They said unison.

Nodding his head Raven said, "Your job will be, after you trained by the soldiers help those whom don't have any experience to being brave. Teach them the way of hunter, the way of northern's."

"The village is counting on you."

"That is all for today. A lot of development will take place in the village and details of it will be passed to everyone. When you return home, pass the news that your village head swore for revenge."

***

One hour after the meeting, news about Raven revenge reached every rook and cranny in the small village, It was a thing of joy, hope for freedom. 

However while they were joyous, they couldn't help but wish village head would act faster.

In front of graveyard, a young man with tattered cloth digging for his sword, beside his mother grave. His father was lowly farmer, so lowly that even villagers wouldn't care much about him. 

They were happy family. Its just that...Its just that he couldn't bear humiliations, for his daughter or his wife.

Tear fell from Rowan eyes, as he swear upon his family grave he would avenge them.. Seeing his small sister sleeping eternally beside his parent, dirt on his meets the tear and made the devil asked on his.

He took out his sword and left the graveyard. She wasn't killed by Groyer's but hunger. As the Groyer's looted all of their belonging with other, there wasn't nothing left for the villager so for him and his sister.

In fact similar thing happening all over the village, some man visit their father or grandfather graves.

Some comfort their hungry wife and sons, to believe in village head. Seeing their family condition they became more motivated for freedom. 

Other's just engrave their anger and rage in their heart. Such example are Ron and Thorpe.

While Thorpe simply riding his horse beside the Bloodwitch Forest seeing the sunset, while Ron aggressively sharpening his sword with all his might, while talking sweetly with his only sister.

He was only fourteen, if this was earth Raven's previous world, he would be considered as child but in here he is full grown adult, ready for responsibility. 

Situation forced him to sacrifice his sweet childhood.

Raven on the other hand little or less knows this, that why he try his best to use his mind and plotted out all strategist available from his game experience.

He planned out three strategies it not only benefit the village also these will help him greatly.

In his room raven looked at the system, currently he has 1000 ER points, and he is thinking how to properly use it, after all god knows when could he accumulated this much Exchange Point.

Good thing is that, Rhaela actually accepted his offer, and she moved to his house.

Although the house was little better and made of wood, she was little uncomfortable first. But he gave her his room and he took his father's Big room with a Big bed and two big bookshelf. Sadly only few books are in their.

"Why did the old man made two big bookshelf's, if there wasn't enough book fill in those." Raven questioned but he let go of such thought.

His main attention is how to spend this EP, would he exchange these for iron ingot, which will help him to create sharp weapon or would he use it on other thing. 

Although he is out of the line, he is not helpless, as he question what could help him more a thought crash in his mind.

"Why not a character panel or status screen." Raven muttered.

Not only will this help him track his growth, but it could also unlock any hidden potential within him that he might be unaware of.

And if he could create status screen for him wouldn't it also mean he could create another status screen like thing for others. 

Although they might be unaware of it but he could peek at their strength which could be greatly helpful for create a army of brotherhood or defeating an enemy. 

He create a concept in mind and asked system exchange points for this.

-[Negative]- 

-[There is nothing to exchange.]-

-[Deity said "Although this Exchange isn't system specialty, I personally allows it."]-

-[Would you like to use 800EP coin for the item?]-

-[Yes/No]-

800 EP seeing it Raven woke up from his bad, 'This is daylight robbery' he thought.

But knowing how much it could help him in future he reluctantly accept while pressing the "Yes" section on his mind. 

Immediately eight hundred EP immediately gone away from his account, and in front of his cornea there is new System message.

-[Congratulation Host, System has been upgraded by you]-

-[Status panel/screen added to system]-

-[Host is warned to not to do this type of Exchange in future]-

"What the heck who tf is deity" Raven muttered "Maybe the system creator, but what is his goal." He questioned but sadly he isn't in the ground to question him.

"I have to get strong enough before thinking about such things," Raven muttered under his breath.

As Raven is full on his thought, Rhaela asked while knocking his doors, "Young Lord, Dinner is ready."

"Dinner! But sun was set some times ago." Raven replied as the tasteless porridge of previous day still clear on his tongue.

"Crack" door opened by the Rhaela while seeing the yarn burning opposite of Raven's bed.

"Lord Raven! I advice as your secretary you should use your resource more properly."

'Damn! Only a day has passed and you already using the authority.' 

But he clearly knows, decreasing Rhaela's favorability would only be his loss, leaving him without her support, she was one of the most intellect person on the village as much he could see.

So he reluctantly follows her, but taste of those porridge start to resurface on his mind. Than a thought emerge, 'Why the porridge needed to be tasteless, he just needed to add taste.' thinking this he asked system on his mind.

"Exchange hundred gram salt."

-[Would you like to exchange 100EP for the item]- 

"One gram equals one EP, why don't you just rob me." Raven muttered. 

But he immediately exchange ten gram of salt.

He do not like to eat tasteless food. 

'I should saved up these 190 EP for emergency.' Raven thought knowing very well if he don't find a way of earning EP the remaining points would turned to 0 in matters of days.
