Starting human body

"It's break time!"

In the No. 3 mining area near the warrior's summit settlement, Xia Shu was busy transporting ore, and a foreman shouted from a high place.

The reason why there is living space for ordinary people here is because of minerals.

The ore near the Warrior's Summit is very rare, but the unique environment requires manual mining. Therefore, the profession of miner was born, and many people make a living from it.

For Natsuki, this was also a pretty good job, at least it allowed him to settle here quickly.

You can't climb the Warrior's Peak at any time. Currently, there is only a short two-month climbing period every year, otherwise you will be looking for death.

He will need to live here for at least a few months before the climbing season begins.

After putting down the cart, Xia Shu didn't mind it being dirty, so she sat down next to him and took out the food in her bag to prepare for lunch.

It's not delicious, it's just a compressed food often eaten by poor people in settlements. It tastes similar to toothpaste. The advantage is that it is convenient and has high nutritional value.

A month ago, Xia Shu met an old soldier in the mine who came to challenge O50 planet a long time ago. He adapted quickly under his leadership.

From the outside, he has completely integrated into the miner's life, and no one would think that he is also a soldier.

Only old soldiers would look at him differently.

This mine friend was very touched when he learned that Natsuki came from another planet. Perhaps he remembered his younger self. These days, he has always treated Natsuki as a junior.

"There's only one month left before the climbing season starts again."

The old soldier took off his old and stiff leather hat and sat down next to Xia Shu, squinting his eyes and looking at the temporarily suspended mine as usual.

"It's good to be young and have dreams, but I've seen too many people fail in recent years. Do you really want to dig mines here for the rest of your life without leaving any way out?

"Even if you finally save enough money to buy a boat ticket and leave here, the best time in your life will be wasted."

"Why don't you leave?" Natsuki asked.

The old soldier was silent, and after a while he looked at the sky with a complicated expression.

"Maybe it's because I have a bond on this planet."

"Is it tied?" Xia Shu followed and looked at the universe.

This kind of thing is too luxurious for him. He doesn't want and dare not let himself have a tie, otherwise he might not have the courage to step into the universe.

After finishing the day, Xia Shu was about to go back to the tent to rest, but was suddenly stopped by the veteran soldier, and finally followed him to the shelter built by the veteran soldier.

Although the old soldier's shelter is still located in the slums, it is better than the tent where a wanderer like him lives.

Natsuki even saw a lot of children at the shelter.

The innocent smiles on the children's faces while they were playing made him startled, almost thinking that he was not in a slum area.

"This is……"

"They are all orphans, some are children of local residents and some are children of other challengers."

The old soldier's eyes were soft.

“These kids are my bond.”

Natsuki looked stern.

Although the old soldier did not elaborate, he also thought of the origins of the orphans.

The place where the Warrior's Summit is is not only the power of light, but also the cruel reality.

"Dad is back!"

"Dad! Let's go to the mining area tomorrow too, we have grown up!"

There are two children in a group of children who are different from the other children and look more mature. One looks more indifferent and the other is very sunny.

"Kai, Jagula," the old warrior said helplessly, "now is not the time."

Kai? Jagula?

Upon hearing this, Natsuki looked carefully at the two children who wanted to work in the mine.

It really matches the image of the protagonists Hong Kai and Jakura in "Ultraman Orb".

It turned out that the two of them were still children at this time, so Uub didn't show up.

…

Afterwards, Natsuki lived in this shelter for a while. It was indeed much safer than outside. There was no need to worry about bad weather, and there was no need to be on guard against other cosmic beings all the time.

And the presence of children somewhat dispelled the loneliness in his heart.

"Brother Ashu, are you really from another planet?"

On this day, when the mountain climbing period was about to come, Xia Shu did not go to work in the mine anymore, but began to adjust his condition and make some preparations for mountain climbing.

Hongkai and Jakura, who were already familiar with Natsuki, followed him to the market to purchase supplies.

"What's it like outside? Is it really as exciting as dad said?" Hong Kai asked curiously.

The cold Jakura behind him had a nonchalant look on his face, as if he was mocking Hong Kai's ignorance, but his ears were still open, wanting to hear Natsuki tell the story of the universe.

"I'm not a space mercenary like my father, and I haven't traveled much," Xia Shu said with a smile, "But the universe is definitely wonderful. It is a vast world with opportunities and dangers. When you become stronger, I can feel it.”

The opportunity for these two people to rise is to reach the top of the warriors. After that, they will rely on the power of Orb's light to go to the universe to experience, and witness life and death through a long period of time.

If the original development is followed, Hong Kai will of course become Ultraman Orb.

Jakura is not too different. He ate the seeds of the Tree of Life during his original period, activated his genetic potential and obtained the demon form. Later, he also achieved gigantism through his own efforts.

In comparison, he is only a few years older now, and the future of these two people will be much easier than him.

After all, Hong Kai and Jia Gu La were born as D-class beings, and had extremely powerful genetic potential. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stand out from many challengers and reach the top of the warriors that no one has been able to reach for a long time.

He doesn't have to worry about taking away the opportunity from the two of them and affecting the future.

Even without Orb's Light, Hong Kai can still obtain other powers from the Warrior's Summit, not to mention that what he can obtain is not necessarily Orb's Light.

Of course, whether he can reach the top of the Warriors this time is still doubtful...

Xia Shu looked at Hong Kai and the two who were helping him pick supplies, and he was not as relaxed and confident as he seemed on the surface.

…

There are not many preparations required for mountain climbing, just drinking water and food. As for cold-weather clothing, there is nothing special. Either Xia Shu can't afford it, or it can't be used on the top of the warrior.

The other is a rope with a hook.

Before leaving, the old soldier did not go to work again, but took a group of children to see Xia Shu off.

At this time, the old warrior knew that he could no longer persuade Xia Shu, so he could only grab Xia Shu's hands with force.

"Ashu, you must come back!" The old soldier looked at Xia Shu, thinking of his old friend who had climbed mountains with him but never came back.

"Don't worry, Dad, I won't die that easily, but you should be more careful. O50 is not safe now."

Xia Shu nodded towards the old warrior and the children, looking resolutely towards the top of the warrior.

From the camp, one can also faintly see the light shining on the top of the warrior in the endless wind and snow.

According to legend, that light can select people with outstanding qualifications and give them the power to become warriors of light...

It had been several months since he discovered the information about the Warrior's Summit on the ruined planet, but he had finally waited for this moment.

The light is within reach.
