Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 773 Luck, And The Anima Tribes
-----
The young Luck was born 13 years ago in a small village composed mostly of Anima people of three tribes, that had converged due to survival reasons long ago. Mostly composed of Fox Anima, Wolf Anima, and Sheep Anima, despite their differences, they survived and lived together despite everything else. The harsh conditions of the Northern Lands of the Continent of Atlanta called for cooperation above all else for survival.
While the elves lived and conquered all the fruitful, nature-filled places, other nomadic and less organized tribes, such as the Anima, were discriminated against and pushed to the very arid border of the continent, separated from the verdant areas by a gigantic mountain range, these tribes sought and hunted for survival.
Over time, their numbers became less and less, and Luck was born in perhaps one of the very last villages within these arid, desertic lands…
Despite being so far away, it wasn't as if they were isolated completely from any civilization. Within the Northern Lands lived the dwarves in the mountains, making a large Kingdom, separated an far away from the elves, and to the northwest, the Kingdom of Beasts existed, where the strongest Anima tribes, that only valued battle power lived in conjunction with the Dwarves cooperation.
From time to time, their village would be visited by merchants, and Luck would learn through them about the wide world outside, and about the many things he had never seen before.
However, his young life didn't came so easily. After being born, his mother died of a disease nobody was able to heal in the village, and only left with his big brother, to take care of him, Luck grew with barely any food on his plate, surviving and working harder than anybody for scraps.
In these lands, hunting was the only thing he cold do, and barely so, with the help of his brother, Luck barely was able to hunt a small rabbit a week, if not two, maybe. Because these arid lands were filled with only huge, dangerous monsters, finding small prey to catch was very hard, and exploring the forests was a no-go, as the dangerous beasts dwelling within would surely kill him, like many had done…
Like they had killed his father, a hunter that provided to his family until the last day of his life, when he never came back. Luck never meet his father nor his mother. His mother died when he was just a baby, and his father died a few months earlier.
It felt as if his whole life was blessed with misfortune, despite his name… Perhaps his mother, in her last moments, wanted to give him a name that might bring him some sort of fortune on his life… in her deathbed, she hoped for her little son's future to be bright, despite the many hardships of life.
With his big brother, Hans, Luck tried his best to survive. Day after day of hardships often ended with his big brother's anecdotes, or any funny joke he could think about. Luck always remembered his brother as someone that was always trying to make him smile.
"Big brother, how was dad?" Luck wondered back then.
"Oh? Dad was awesome! He was so huge and burly!" Laughed Hans while drinking some soup made out of rabbit bones. "I remember he used to lift me with his big arms all the time."
"I see… I wonder if I can become like dad one day." Luck sighed. "Though I am so weak… even the other kids at my age have hunted a monster, but I can't…"
Hans patted his shoulders, giving him a big old smile.
"Heheh, don't worry! You'll get a growth spur soon enough!" Hans laughed. "And then you'll get as big as your big brother! I promise you that, Lucky!"
"Don't call me Lucky! I am far from being lucky to begin with…" Luck sighed.
"Well…" Hans sighed, looking int the distance. "You know? Dad didn't had a tail."
"Eh? He didn't?!" Luck asked in shock. "But… wouldn't everyone make fun of him?"
"Yep, everyone laughed at him." Hans sighed. "Dad was born without a tail, and he said he was very clumsy, and weak when he was young… But he still became one of the village's best hunters, and even took down a Giant Wild Boar that had threatened the village back then."
"N-No way…" Luck felt so surprised that his father despite having been afflicted with such misfortune and a weak body since birth, had managed to grow into someone so strong all by himself.
"So, it doesn't matter if you're a bit weak now, or if you can't do what everyone else can at your age…" Hans sighed. "As long as you keep trying, and improving bit by bit every single day, one day… the results of all your efforts will show. And you may become stronger than anybody in the village! Who knows, right? The future is uncertain. Some people… like to think gloomily about it, but I like to think there might be something better awaiting for us, somewhere, we just need to reach it with our own hands if it won't get to us, you know? We've gotta keep trying, Lucky!"
Luck remembered those words very well, those words of his cheerful big brother, such words that stayed within his heart, and that still stay within.
However, Luck's boring daily life exercising, hunting bugs and rats, and doing his chores changed when one day, a mysterious girl with fluffy white hair, bright golden eyes, and white horns spiraling like those of a sheep, showed up on his life…
"P-Please… can someone help me? Pleaseeee!"
It was the morning of a Monday, at the age of 8, when Luck was looking for edible mushrooms in the grasslands, and suddenly found a beautiful girl stuck in the branches of a tree.
"Huh? You can't get down?" He asked.
"A-Ahahaha… I got up but… I am a bit afraid…" She cried. "C-Can you help me? Pretty please!"
"Why did you even got up in that tree if you're afraid of getting down?" Luck sighed, facepalming. "Sigh… fine, alright, be careful, here, grab my hand- Eh?"
"Uwaaaaahh!!!"
THUMP!
