into the wilderness and let the animals deal with it. If they believed it was highly contagious and the village was at risk, then they wouldnā€™t take the risk of being infected and would instead burn the house down with the people inside.

People who knew medicine were more welcomed than knights since doctors were rare outside the capital. The king would gather doctors to help heal knights after training and in case a member of royalty was to fall ill.

Coming out of their dark thoughts, they arrived in front of their new home. Kelly ran inside to check out each room and the facilities while John listened to Sarah explain what she needed built.

She didnā€™t ask for much, but they decided to build the medical practice close to the house so she could easily run to the medical facility in case of an emergency. She asked for a good amount of beds since she knew medical equipment was non-existent in this universe, thanks to the immortals halting any technological advancement.

After more than an hour, the couple thanked the leader and watched him hobble down the road to inform the villagers that they had a new project to start.

When he was out of view, John and Sarah entered their new home.

Chapter 9: Those Who Can, Teach

As John and Sarah were unpacking in their new home, Kelly went to explore the nearby area. Along her journey, she spotted a girl around her age eyeing her from the corner of one of the more rundown houses. Kelly waved and walked towards her, but before she got close, the girl panicked and ran away. Out of curiosity, Kelly ran after her.

The little girl ducked into a house a few houses down and slammed the door behind her. Kelly walked up to the house and knocked on the door, only to be greeted by a tall woman with a sunken face and skinny limbs. Kelly was going to ask if the little girl could come out and play, but she didn't know the girlā€™s name. By the looks of things, the woman wouldn't let the girl come out either.

"S-sorryā€¦ I have the wrong house," Kelly stammered before backing down the walkway and running home.

When she got there, she found her father sitting at the kitchen table. "Dadā€¦ There are people starving here. Why donā€™t they hunt like you do?"

John looked at her, baffled by the sudden situation.

"Some people just arenā€™t as strong as me and your mother. The creatures out there are tough when youā€™re underequipped.ā€

ā€œYou can hunt. Canā€™t you help them? I saw a girl thatā€™s my age and I donā€™t think her father is around. That could have been me if youā€¦ā€

Her words faded. She seemed bothered by it more than John expected.

ā€œI tell you what,ā€ John said, patting her on the head. ā€œIā€™ll hunt a bit extra when I go out tomorrow. Just this once, since youā€™ve asked.ā€

Kellyā€™s eyes brightened up and she tossed herself against John, hugging him tightly.

The next day, John went out to hunt various monsters for their meat.

He knew that continuous bears were carnivores, which meant there must be some kind of species to be preyed on and after a few minutes of searching different areas with his Scan, he found a creature eating pieces of wood off a tree.

It had short brown hair, a long face with two small eyes near the centre, and two ears at the top shaped like satellite dishes. Its short front legs had sharp claws which grabbed the wood for its buck teeth to dig into. The body of the creature was straight for the most part, but then it started to curve downwards, at an angle that made it look like a cliff with a hump. The back legs were straight like a human, but there wasnā€™t much of a leg above the ankle.

John compared this creature to a beaver that didnā€™t have a tail and was much larger as it stood at two feet on all fours, but over five feet in length. He killed it and harvested its meat for the villagers.

Iā€™ll teach the villagers how to hunt these rodents while defending againstā€”and maybe even killingā€”continuous bears. In the meantime, Iā€™ll go to the higher ranked areas and get the good stuff for Sarah and Kelly.

Over the next few hours, John found different edible monsters and beasts like the Large Toothed Tiger, Silent Panther, Rhino Bull, and even the Komodo Dragon! He hadnā€™t seen these creatures since he was a mortal.

To this day, John could still remember the taste of the Komodo Dragon he had killed to reach SSS rank as a mortal. It was one of the best meats he had ever eaten, maybe only being beaten by the delicacy fish he had caught while on holiday.

Reminiscing about the great taste of the rare meat, he couldnā€™t help himself. He killed one, drained its blood, skinned it, and placed the huge carcass into his Storage Space to keep it fresh.

On the way back, he hunted five of the rodents like creatures for the village as promised. He knew providing them with a bit of sustenance would also put him in their good graces. It was essential that he got along with the villagers while Kelly was growing up. He didnā€™t drain or skin them which would affect the taste of the meat though. This was a ā€˜If you want better food, get stronger and hunt for it,ā€™ motivation tactic.

When John got back, he noticed the scrawny man from the day before and another man were kneeling in front of his house with their heads down.

Sarah explained to him that they were there for his forgiveness and to ask for training since these men were the people who were responsible for protecting the village after the knight left, prior to John showing up.

John tossed the five rodent bodies on the floor beside them and instructed them to stand up. ā€œI donā€™t
