Chapter 3: New home

"I guess this dude is my new father," Rain thought. "Wait, no! Nooooooooo!"

The armored dude smiled and then kissed Rain's forehead as well… Rain felt like dying again, thanks to it.

"Ugh, give me a break, dude; I am older than you," Rain thought, and then his father frowned.

He said a few things more, but Rain didn't understand a single thing. It was truly inconvenient not to be able to understand language. In any case, it seemed that as a guard, Rain's father had to stay behind until the end of the evacuation. So, they parted ways again.

A massive caravan was leaving the city, and despite the fact that dragons were behind, there were no soldiers or guards to protect them. Rain wondered if that world, only the dragons, was a problem…

In any case, Rain had the chance to hear a lot of people talking, so he also had the chance to learn some more words… unfortunately, he started to feel pretty tired before he could make much more progress. He didn't know if it was due to the movement of the carriage or the fact that he learned some more words. Either way, he soon fell asleep.

When Rain woke up, it was already night. It seemed that he was going to have a crazy sleeping pattern for a while. In any case, he was in his mother's arms, and she was resting against a backpack inside a tent.

As Rain looked beyond his tent, he noticed a gathering of makeshift shelters and tents in the distance. It was a refugee camp, a place where people who had fled their homes looking for shelter and safety.

The camp was filled with families and individuals who had left everything behind, their belongings packed into small bags and carts. Despite the difficult circumstances, they had come together, to endure there the situation. Rain could see people sharing meals, children playing, and adults engaging in conversation. It was a reminder of the challenges faced by those displaced from their homes and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

"It must be the middle of the night…" Rain thought. "Reincarnation while retaining memories sure is useful, but is also quite restless when I can only eat, sleep, and poop all day and every day."

In the end, Rain, his mother, and the granny stay in a refugee camp in the middle of some massive plainlands for a week. Some people left the place, and some people arrived from all directions… every day was a busy day for everyone. Even Rain was trying to understand the language.

"It seems that we are in a war against monsters and dragons and other species of people," Rain thought. "That would explain while I have the human path… there must be a monster path, dragon path, and so on."

In any case, Rain was almost leveling up his language skill, so he worked extra hard that day. Thanks to it, he managed to see what happens when he levels up a skill.

(The skill Language leveled up.)

(The Human Path received ten points of experience.)

"Hmm? Is that it?" Rain thought.

Rain was pretty disappointed. It wasn't like he was expecting something crazy to happen, but he only gained a bit of experience for his path, and it wasn't even for himself…

"Well, it is helping me kill time, so it is fine," Rain thought.

Later that day, Rain saw his father again. It seemed that they had been waiting for him to move again… while Rain wasn't trying to be that gloomy, he considered that his new father had kicked the bucket. That should be pretty easy to happen in a world where dragons existed.

After that day, Rain finally had the chance to see what his father looked like. He didn't have the chance before since most of his face was covered in the helmet. He possessed a strong and athletic build, standing tall and exuding confidence. His short, tousled light brown hair adds a touch of casual charm to his overall demeanor. Rain's father's piercing blue eyes reflect determination and resilience, showcasing his unwavering commitment to his duties.

Even his father was quite the looker. Maybe Rain was blessed with some crazy genes. Regardless, both of them seemed to be in the middle of their twenties, so Rain wondered if he would ever get used to calling them father and mother.

In any case, they traveled in the carriage for another week, and at that point in time, Rain felt weird when the world wasn't shaking. Still, after that week, they reached another city. One where it seemed that he would stay there for quite a while…
