nHe was then sucked like a vacuum and he saw that he was falling from the sky.

n

"Ahhhhh!!! I am falling!

" Joan screamed.

nHe can see the clouds and the greenery of the world that was so large and saw the continent he was falling into.

nHe saw the kingdom from afar and also the villages. He can also see the demon continent up above the said Kingdom.

nHe was getting nearer and nearer to the ground and saw a village below him. He dived some more and saw the lifeless body from above.

nThe feeling of falling from the sky was so realistic for him and then he entered the body of the kid.

nOpening his eyes, he felt excruciating pain in his shoulders.. He then remembered the memories of the past body that he resided in.

nHis name was Joan, to his surprise he has the same name as him. And their family was the Emsworth family, a complete identical name and family name.

nAs he was scanning for clues, memories resurfaced and he was chased by a monster called a man-eating tiger.

nHe was hunting wild boar for food and then he was a surprise-attacked on his back. Biting his shoulders and almost his shoulder was ripped apart.

nLuckily, he jumped to the cliff and dived into the river. He was then carried away somewhere near the village.

n

"Maybe he died of loss of blood. I should see if I can make it out alive here first.

" Joan said.

nHe healed himself with his Priestly skill Heal. But to his dismay, he only stopped the bleeding.

nUpon realizing it, he became back to square one. The moment he used the skill, his mana well has been exhausted immediately. Adding to his problem.

n

"Wait? I became trash and can't even completely heal my wound? I should train faster this time around. And my wound only stopped bleeding. At least I have a cloth to make a bandage,

" Joan said then removed his shirt. Cleaning the blood on the river and removed the blood in the water.

nHe ripped his shirt and embedded it to his shoulders, making a first aid on his self. He saw a bow and arrows that was probably his hunting weapons littered beside him.

nThe bow was still usable and there were plenty of arrows left on the quiver.

n

"These weapons are too much for the enemy. No, it was the other way around. From what I have seen, the monster that killed many villagers is very aggressive. Not a makeshift arrow can kill it easily. The parents of this body's owner are farmers and their son is hunting for food. It is very hard to live as they are poor and the lord of their village is a scum that didn't even give them any share. The last harvest is a failure and they have to double their pay for them.

" Joan cursed inside.

nIt was not a surprise for him to be forced to hunt for food. And his parents were worried as he was young and there were monsters outside the village. He still ventured and brought meat in their house and due to his parent's poverty.

nThey can only thank their son for his efforts. He was a brave child that was very caring to his parents until his life ends.

nSo from that day forth, he will be Joan Emsworth. Taking up his name was an honor to an old man like him.

nA brave child that didn't mind the danger he will go through just to feed his parents. It almost made Joan cry of meeting a valiant child that was ready to die anytime every time he goes hunting. It moved his heart and was captivated by his story.

n

"I will surely take care of your parents, Joan. Leave them to me.

" He said in a sad voice.

nHe took up the bow and arrow and saw on his back the man-eating tiger. A creature of orange and black stripes was seen crouching, ready to pounce at him anytime. Growling with blood still painted on its mouth. It was probably his blood that was being smelled and pinpointed his direction.

n

"So you followed me here? I guess you will regret it when you let me out alive.

" Joan said then knocked the arrow on the bow.

n

"Did I say this weapon can't kill you? Of course, I forgot that it was me this time around.

" Joan said to him while smirking.

nHe draws the bow and aimed it at its eye. Without wasting time, the tiger dashed towards him with its paws caving into the ground.

nDirt was hurled on its path and Joan fired the arrow. Immediately drawing another arrow in a split-second without moving on his ground.

nThe tiger was struck in both eyes and it slammed to the dirt on his back. Evading its attack in hair's breadth.

nThe monster growled and thrashed around. Without mercy to the enemy, he rained his arrow on it.

nIn one second, seven arrows were propelled towards it. Using up all his arrows on the process. It was struck on its neck, shoulders, and, its face but it was still alive.

nHe then grabbed the arrows and pulled them off. Holding two arrows in both his hands. He was clawed by the monster but he evaded.

nNow that its eyes were pierced, it growled to the pain and slashed in the direction of Joan's noise. Evading his strikes, he rotated in the air and landed on its neck. Stabbing its spine from the neck towards its tail.

nMaking the enemy paralyzed. The enemy was trashing all around as he was stabbing it to death. He was bathed with its blood and the monster let out its last growl.

nExtinguishing its life and slammed his head to the ground.

nJoan panted while he was on the top of its lifeless body and felt that his wound bleeds again.

n

"Ngk!

" Joan then stopped the bleeding as his wound was opened again.

nHe cast Heal again and his bleeding stopped. Barely able to heal it with just his mana. Soon after that, he saw that the body of the monster began fading and golden light was absorbed by his body.

nIt soon all went into his body and the arrows were only what remained in the ground.

n

"Woohoo! I killed it! I avenged you, Joan! I can sleep well with it being killed.

" He said then slammed his butt on the ground.

nHe was very tired as he was not used to this kind of body. Barely able to move but it was still impressive as he knows the past Joan was training himself to hunt for food.

nNot slacking in his training. He was determined to live and to survive their predicament.

nAfter it all, he felt that he was stronger this time. His body was lighter and he can move faster.

n

"Wait, the monster that I absorbed. That made me stronger?

" Joan said in his surprise.

nHe smiled then smirked and he can't help but be pleased by what he discovered. Soon after that, he went to find a young boar to hunt.

nHe easily found one who was solitary having a bath in the river. They tend to bath as they don't have sweat glands to cool themselves.

nAs Joan sneaked towards it, he was careful not to alert it. Firing an arrow to its spinal cord behind its neck made it lost its life instantly after a second.

nHe tied the young boar on his back and went to their village.
