Rebirth Online World

Episode 6: level up!

I am finally able to move when the sun has set. My body is still hurting all over but I don’t want Grandma Stella to worry about me. I walk out from Resser village and with an unsteady body I arrived at a pig shed.

Not your usual kind of pig. The body is as big as an adult human with the face of a pig. They’re called “Orcs”. They could be kept because they are under slavery magic. Grandma Stella said to me that they are mainly used for manual labour because of their strength.

There are three orcs inside but I focused on one.

I don’t know if it has no name or I couldn’t read it. It also has no job and instead it has a rank.

I concentrate my eyes on it to practice my special skill, [depriver].

First, it has to be something that is in my line of sight. Secondly, my head hurts badly when I used it. Third, the skill has a success rate and the effective range is 1 meter.

After three tries, I managed to get [physical strength up Lvl 1]. From the other two orcs, I tried to deprive their skills too. While the skill level remained at 1, the effect of [physical strength up] has been increased tremendously. I pick up a rock and throw it. It flew off almost 100 meters. His only concern is the real “Guild card”. Because it has a status and skill displayed.

If Hage noticed his skill had gone missing, most likely I will be accused. Not for any particular reason but for this “cursed” black eye and hair. I met Grandma Stella on the way home. She was worried because I was late so she searched for me. Seeing my wounds, she cried badly. I don’t want her to be worried and sad.

Grandma Stella existence is very dear to me. In my previous world, not even my father in law is this good to me. My step father even sometimes vented his frustration on me like that debt collector. Grandma Stella gives warmth to my heart.

On the next day I spied on Hage. It seemed he hasn’t realized his skill is missing. He laughed as usual and took another goblin subduing quest. I followed him from far away, unnoticed. Just a few minutes deep into the mountains, a few goblins already showed up. Of course they were killed with ease.

This mountain, I know it very well because this is where I gather my herbs. While Hage was battling some goblins, I have decided to pay him a favour. Using stones, I taunted some goblins while hiding and guide them to Hage’s location. At first it was two goblins and they increased every time because Hage is still battling. By the time I lured the goblins in the area, Hage is fighting 30 goblins. He was used to fighting goblins and already had ten killed while I gathered the 30.

However from the 30 I bring, two of them seemed different. Their appearances are unusual.

“Whoa!”

My mind is in a frenzy seeing a magic skill. When those two joined in, the tables have turned. The wounded goblins are healed by the goblin priest and Hage is having problems defending the magic attacks.

“Heeel….”

“Firebaugh….”

“Oh no!”

While they are busy fighting, I approached the two goblins silently.

“[Depriver]“

After a couple attempts and a painful headache, I successfully gained [black magic Lv 1] and [white magic Lv 1].

(TL Notes: I wonder why fireball comes from black magic lol)

“Firebaugh!”

The goblin mage tried to cast a spell but the fireball isn’t triggered.

“?!?” the goblin mage was confused. Taking advantage of that, I throw a rock that I had prepared before. It has the power that could make a stone as big as a palm fly 100 meters. Using [body enhance] reach that power, the rock that I threw easily smashed it’s head open.

The goblin mages body fell and caused the goblin priest to panic. “Heel..” it recites in a hurry but of course nothing happened. By throwing another rock, I end it’s life.

Hage’s condition now isn’t good. There’s only five goblins remaining but his left arm has been torn off and blood is coming out from his left leg.

“[Sword strike]!”

It was a simple strike using a sword in two succession. (TL Notes: This time the skill name was changed by the author into double strike, I’m at lost now but I’ll stay with sword strike)

“What happened? Why does it not get activated?”

Hage is enraged but the cause of that may be because I took [swordsmanship] from him.

The goblins managed to throw him off to the ground while Hage killed one in the process. Unfortunately one of the goblins noticed me.

“Giiii!”

They abandoned Hage and focused on me who is unharmed. They are probably thinking I’m a bigger threat than the injured Hage.

I repeat the same process as the one I used when killing the goblin mage and priest. Rock thrown towards their head is enough to end their lives. I missed some throw but there are rocks lying on the ground so my ammunition is unlimited.

After finishing with the goblins, I approached Hage that is lying down.

“Fiuh.. I will be able to survive.. Thank you..”

“You said that I misunderstood the villager kindness. Aren’t you doing the same right now?”

“Ugh.. What do you mean? It was just something of the past.”

“Are you stupid or what? Don’t you think it was strange for goblins to keep coming at you and attack in large numbers?”

“You…you.. It’s your doing!”

He is looking at me with murderous eyes. However I didn’t care and activated my [Depriver].

In the end, his [physical strength up] , [sword strike] and [body enhance] was deprived.

“I thank you for all of your ‘assistance’. This time I will ‘return the favour’.”

When I said that, he understands on what I’m going to do.

“Wait.. That’s not something personal.. I was asked by the guild. They want to get rid of you. I’m forced to do it.”

“You know you could refuse.”

“Wait…! Wait!.. I’m..”

I threw a stone from close range to his face. The stone sinks deep into his face.

This is the first time I killed someone.. However I feel nothing..

Maybe my empathy has been long gone since even my step father has a habit of abusing me. Maybe my heart has been broken all along. I took Hages money and equipment.

Long sword (grade 6)

Leather armor (grade 6)

Leather boots (grade 6)

(TL Notes: we still have no clue on equipment grade for now)

Then I look at my own status.

The [physical strength up] and [body enhance] has leveled up from depriving Hage.

“Next destination is the Guild!”

Episode 5: to deprive a deprived person

(TL notes:finally we will learn why the series is named this way)

“How about that? How’s the taste of my fist?”

Hage laughs while sending another punch towards my stomach.

“Ugh..”

I curled up while holding my stomach. Hage then continues with a kick. I used body enhance to ease the pain and reduce the damage. It seemed that Hage didn’t noticed it.

In this world, there exist people like him. Those who have a little bit of power and use it to bully others. Why can I still be calm? Because of the debt of my father in law, I often got abused by the debt collector. Violence, it has become my friend. I have gotten used to be tortured. Even in this other world I still get stuck in this position.

I couldn’t fight back. I don’t have a weapon and our strength difference is too big. He grabbed my collar and whispered to my ear. “Do you know why I do this?”

“Why?” I don’t know his reason.

“You know, we have been allowing you to gather some herbs but aren’t you mistaking our kindness?”

At this moment the people from his party joined in his arguments.

“Don’t be mistaken. We never think of you as one of us.”

“Your black hair, the villager think of it as a bad omen. And your black eyes, it’s pissing me off.”

“Do you think that you could continue living here?”

“What about Stella? We don’t want anything bad to happen to her because of you.”

Even the fat uncle nods.

Is this really how the villager see me?

Stranger.. Bad omen.. Unwanted person..

“Do we have to kick you out with that old grandma?” Hage said that to me.

“If you don’t want that to happen, you should keep gathering herbs and leave them at the village everyday. You don’t have to wait for the rewards of course.”

What is this? First he threatens me then asked me to work for free? He can take my money, but… Taking away Grandma Stella from me… She’s the only one I have and she’s even taking care of me like her own children.

Are the villager trying to make me feel deprived?

No! I hate being deprived. I don’t want to feel deprived anymore! I hate this! I hate this!

There’s a stinging pain in my head. I was going crazy because of the pain.

I could see it in Hage’s eyes.

They are the same eyes as the debt collectors.

The eyes that are going to make me feel deprived.

Hage continues to beat me up.

Will I return to be a deprived person? No! I don’t want to be deprived.

I want him, to feel it, not me.

I want him to know the feeling of being deprived.

My head hurts like crazy as I am looking at Hage status.

What’s this……

Huk….

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….”

I didn’t feel that my body is hurting anymore.

“This guy… It freaks me out! Did he get beaten too much untill he became crazy? Humph I lost my interest now.”

Hage stopped beating me and leaves with his party.

I was laying down trembling. Not because I was hurt. It was because I am feeling excited. From being a deprived person, did I truly successful become a depriver?

(TL notes: for you who is confused, you could search the definition of deprive, deprived, depriving, deprivation, and depriver/deprivator lol

Ps: the skill name translation is snatch the same as steal but to match the title, depriver is the most suitable term hahaha..

In my terms of sense, the series is about a person who always get something taken away from him. Now he get to be the one who takes things away. The title become to take something from someone who have nothing.. Kinda like that I guess.. And his power becomes the power which took something from others.. I dunno if it only works on ability/skill we’ll find out later..

So, from the bullies into the bully. From deprived into deprivator.    PR notes: pretty short notes here.)

Episode 4: Increase MP!

Since the day I practiced the skill that manipulates mana to enhance the body, I get a new skill named “body enhance” in the active skill. Using that, my quest of gathering herbs could be completed earlier.

———

The first time I used body enhance it could only last five minutes. It becomes longer everyday with my MP increasing. The increase in MP also has something to do with the increase of my magic stat.

The way to use body enhance is by circulating mana inside your body. It is as if your inner energy is creating a layer around your body. While maintaining the effect, I start my herb gathering routine. Usually I used to do it until the evening. But now, it was finished in the early afternoon. Because of that, I now have time to do some muscle training. While using body enhance, I can feel my muscles feel no strain so I could train them after gathering herbs.

I report the quest to the fat uncle. “You should be able to gather twice the amount! Hump!” maybe his attitude towards me have changed because now I earn 6 cooper moon coins.

When I exited the guild hall, I saw Hage. I need to run away before he does something to me. I met some villager on the way but their attitude towards me isn’t any better than Hages.

“Black eyes and hair as if possessed by the demon.”

“Go away from our village.”

This is nothing new. They even throw some rocks towards me. I can only dodge some of it and the rocks naturally hit me. This is still something that I can handle. This kind of pain…

In my line of sight I saw a girl. She is the only one that didn’t throw rocks at me and didn’t look at me with the same eyes as the villager. She is 15 to 17 years old. She wears leather pants and armor. Her weapon is a dagger resided at her waist. She is this village last adventurer. This village has five in total. Hage with the other three in his party and she is the last one.

When I get back, Grandma Stella is sewing.

“Welcome back, Yu.”

“I’m home.”

“Did you have a hard time at the village?”

“No, I’m fine.”

When she first saw me coming back injured, she cried all night long. So, it was good that we lived far from the village, if not the villager may harm her too.
I’m grateful for her for taking me in and teach me a lot of things. A couple of days ago she teaches me how to make dried fruits. Telling me about heroic storys from history. Today, she teaches me how to sew. Maybe these things I learn will benefit me in the future. I know she is teaching me earnestly without ill will.

……….
Couple days later, after I finished my task of gathering herbs and reported it, Hage is standing at the entrance. I have a bad feeling about this so I tried to slip past by him.

“Ugh..”

I feel a shock coming from my stomach. I fall down to the floor and Hage is standing there. Looking down on me with his usual bad smile.

Episode 3: Skill up!

I do the herb collecting quest every now and then. Even when the Guild treats me badly, I will let it go.. For now!

I don’t have problems in gathering herbs because grandma Stella always tells me the location where I could harvest them. There’s no problem to keep harvesting them because there are several spots. The only thing that I should be wary of is monsters.

There are goblins living in the forest. Goblins look like a human child with green skin and an ugly face, their strength is also higher than that of humans. There is a request to subdue them because sometimes they kidnap a human woman for the purpose of breeding. It soon becomes one of the most hated monsters.

When my herb gathering is almost finished, I heard some rustling noise.

“Gugugu…”

“Brother, are you okay?”

“Ooeekk…”

“Gyahahaha…”

I tried to search for the source of that sound and I find some goblins and humans fighting.

I look at the dying goblin, “passive skill: breeding lvl3.” it doesn’t have any other skill so it was a low-level goblin. Hage is the one facing the goblins with his companion. I look at Hage status and his MP is decreasing. He seemed to use a skill which consumes MP. But, how? Hage as a warrior couldn’t use magic.

When his MP starts to decrease his ability soared and he killed the rest of the goblin with ease. His movement is faster. He finished them off and laughed. He cut their ears as a proof for defeating them.

How? Grandma Stella said people with non-magic profession couldn’t use their MP. There’s no buff whatsoever in his body but why is his MP used? And at his last movements, his Mp quickly decreased by 5.

I was curious about it so I quickly gathered the remaining herbs and go home.

During the past month, my stats have increased when collecting herbs. I report the quest and hurried home to experiment. I tried to do everything I can but I couldn’t find out about anything..

One week has passed without results.. I arrived at the Guild hall and Hage and the gang is there.
“Hahaha, killing goblin is too easy.”

“yeah, with your ability it’s resolved quickly.”

“Of course, It’s a skill of mine after all.”

I was looking at Hage and the three men. I hope I can get a hint of his trick to raise his power suddenly.

I concentrate and saw his status….

I look at him longer than usual…

When I examined his status I noticed something strange. What’s this [+] symbol? I concentrate and it gives more details.

Hp: you will die if this reach 0

Mp: you will need this to cast magic. You could circulate the flow of mana in your body to enhance your body.

“aaah! This is it.. This is Hage’s secret.”

On the way home I also looked at other stats.

Strength: this is the power of your body

Agility: the higher the value, the faster you move

Vitality: this is your stamina, you can move or run longer with higher value

Intelligence: wits and battle insight, quick thinking and advanced magic may be affected

Magic: this is related to your magic damage and power

Luck: misfortune may fall to those who ignore this

Passive skill: skill that doesn’t need activation

Active skill: it won’t be triggered except you activate it

Special skill: unique skill that can be gained from class or personal experiences and ability

It only describes each one roughly but it is still better than not knowing anything. Because of that I found out about the usage of mana to strengthen the body too. I saw that my special skill, unknown world magic eye has leveled up to Lvl 2. Maybe because I used it continuously that it has ranked up. Because of that I also discovered these additional stats explanations.

To find out how to circulate mana inside the body to strengthen it, took 2 weeks. It was amazing to feel my body enhanced by using mana. The problem is my MP is too low. Just use it for a minutes and it becomes empty. Maybe in the future I will be able to increase my mana and efficiency to control it.

Episode 2: Living in this world isn’t easy

From the time I arrived to this world, one month has passed. Grandma Stella has been kind to me. She teaches me the writing of this world, common sense, even money.

Grandma Stella didn’t believe it when I said that I come from a different world but she teaches me anyway with a smile.

The money they use here are: moon coin, cooper moon coin, half silver moon coin, silver moon coin, gold moon coin, white gold moon coin.

100 moon coin: 1 cooper

1 half silver coin: 1000 moon coin (ten cooper)

1 silver: 10,000 moon coin ( ten half silver)

1 gold: 100,000 moon coin ( ten silver)

1 white gold: 1,000,000 moon coin (ten gold)

The concept of money, I already learned it, however to learn this worlds characters, one month isn’t enough but I’ll get better eventually.

Anyway, living in this world isn’t easy

There are monsters called demons. Fortunately there’s no strong demon around here.

After that, people in this world all registered with the organization called Guild. Where the Guild card could be used as an identity card.

Adventurer’s Guild, Chamber of Commerce Guild, Blacksmith Guild, there’s a lot of variety of guilds more than you could think of. Resser village is a small village. Because of that every resident is registered under the Adventurer’s Guild.

Today I was going to the adventurer’s guild. There’s a quest of gathering herbs and I’ve completed it. I’ll go there and give the report to receive my reward.

Grandma’s house is a little bit secluded from the village. It takes around 20 minutes on foot. I arrived at the guild building that looks like a rundown tavern.

As soon as I come in, I already stumbled into trouble.

“Hey what’s with this smell? Do you smell a black-haired Goblin?” after saying that the man laughed. He is one of five adventurers that is protecting this village. Even though that guy is bald, he is strong. Unconsciously my eyes landed on his shiny head.

“What are you looking at?”

In the next moment I could feel he punched me in the stomach. I flew backwards a couple of meters. He didn’t even hold back when bullying a twelve years old child. I want to take my revenge but the gap in our power is too big.

Yeah, it will be unreasonable. Everyone is happy seeing me suffering. The fat uncle behind the counter even begins to drink wine. I approached the fat uncle wanting it or not. The guild in this place doesn’t have any money to hire a receptionist.

“The quest to collect herb is done.”

This quest is the easiest available and repeatable every few days. The reward is 900 moon coins or 9 cooper moon coins.

*cring*

The fat uncle passed me the reward but it’s only 3 cooper coins. It’s the same as usual.

“What? Do you have any complaints? You better be thankful that we even pay you out. Just where did Stella pick this kind of useless guy.”

The moment grandma Stella is mentioned, my blood boils. But I keep it cool and get out of the building. I’ll create more trouble for her if I cause a scene. I went out and put the money in my pocket.

This village is so small. There are no shops except for a simple tool shop. I have been trying to buy a knife but I was kicked out and they said they will not sell anything to me. The reason is because of my Guild card. My eyes can see people statuses and they also work on other things. I concentrate on my Guild card.

[Guild card: fake]

I really want to kill that fat uncle at this point. If it’s like this, no shop will accept me because my Guild card couldn’t prove my identity. I have no other choice except to go back. Grandma Stella was making dinner when I arrived.

“Yu, Welcome back. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Grandma Stella didn’t want to accept the reward of the quest when I tried to give it to her. She said it was money that I worked hard for and I should buy things that I want. Because of me, grandma Stella also receives bad treatment from the villagers. One day, I’ll return the favour.

First, my goal is to get stronger. It means increasing my level. Level is also important in games. To increase it you just have to defeat monster and gain experience from them. However the me right now couldn’t even hold a candle to a goblin.

The tool keeper doesn’t want to sell any weapon (knife) to me. Without it, I don’t have a chance to kill a monster. After eating the stew and bread, I slept while thinking of my future plans.
