I Can Make Everything Level UP

When night came, Billy thought that he would have the chance to find someplace to land and finally take a break. He was hungry and thirsty and wanted to attend the calls of nature, but he didn't have any time to do so. Much to his surprise, the number of battles only increased at night, and numerous demi-humans that could fly began to move around. Some of them were running away, some were preparing ambushes, some were just looking for food…

"Man, this place is hellish chaotic…" Billy thought. "I used to think that I had a rough start, but this place is like playing dark souls in the hard, with one hand and blindfolded."

Even if that was the case, people like Billy probably would survive. Naturally, they would have to throw away all the ideas of living a normal life, and they would have to fight for their lives on a daily basis. Putting that aside, such a place would be a pretty good starting point for a Necromancer. A lot of bodies and skeletons to be found, and yet, Billy didn't find any signs of a skeleton army. The powers of the necromancer shouldn't be that limited, so…

"Maybe our guess was wrong… Someone who has the power to use undead and now can use that summoner as a zombie, should have an easy time conquering this continent, and yet, there is no sign of that," Billy thought.

It seemed a bit too soon for that, but Billy's way of thinking was a bit too self-centered. It wasn't like he was the only one who was incorruptible by power… While he didn't know much about the past of the other reincarnated individuals, one could say that he had been pretty lucky. His second family was a pretty good one, and he even had two siblings that looked up to him. Thanks to that and other factors and also adding the experience of his precious life, he didn't become someone obsessed with standing above others. It wasn't because he was naturally better than the others with his morals…

In any case, it was a bit too soon to determine anything. Billy was planning to return and investigate that continent many times. So, he decided to fly back home right at the moment instead of just waiting until morning.

It only took Billy a few minutes to reach the east coast of that continent, but right at that moment, he felt something weird in the air around him, and then he stopped. After looking around and enhancing his senses, he didn't notice anything. However, Billy was certain that something… had changed. After waiting for a few minutes, Billy noticed that the ocean waters began to get rough. It seemed like an earthquake had happened, and he could tell that the epicenter was somewhere on the continent, and someone had caused that.

"The armor only has thirty percent of energy left… Staying and checking what happened is too risky," Billy thought. "My goal is to find the necromancer and deal with them if they are a threat, but I should do it under the right circumstances."

It was a bit annoying to leave like that when something had finally happened, but it couldn't be helped. Besides, Billy had accomplished his first objective of seeing the new continent with his own eyes and confirmed several things. Some demi-humans wanted to leave in peace, but the vast majority already accepted that war was something that was part of their lives.

In the end, Billy returned to his home around six in the morning, everyone still was sleeping, and since the armor was pretty silent, no one noticed that. They probably will be surprised since Billy thought that he would stay there for a few days.

"I suppose to avoid things like this, I will need extra cores," Billy thought while facing his armor. "It will take a while to make them level up, but it will be around the same time to make some more armors for the others. I can tell that I will have to add some modifications to match with their fighting style, though."

Before he started working again, Billy went to do the things that he had been holding back for the past few days. He had trained himself to have a strong mind, but it was hard to keep himself focused when he was hungry, thirsty, and wanted to use the toilet at the same time. Perhaps he should improve his armor to help with some of those, but it was better not to try to use the armor to relieve himself in any way from the things that he could do in a toilet.

Although he tried to be quiet and not wake up anyone. Valentin and his colleagues were already ready and awoke. Sarah and Kate had good senses, so they eventually found him.

"You returned awfully soon," Kate said.

"Didn't you find anything?" Sarah asked.

"Well…" Billy said and wondered if he should tell everything that he saw.

Kate wasn't that much familiar with the conflicts of the past tribes since she only obtained the power to fight when they were working together. However, Sarah would see things from a different perspective. The past was in the past, but it didn't change the fact that the elementalists were the ones who started the last wave of conflicts… Even though they were just responding to their pasts as well. In any case, sooner or later, they would learn everything about that continent, so there was no point in hiding the truth.

"Such a place really makes me recall the past…" Sarah said. "However, it isn't something that bothers me anymore, so you can rest easy."

"Is that so… I guess I am an idiot for thinking too much about it," Billy said. "In any case, that place is massive, even though the armor is fast, it will take a while to explore the whole place."
