INFINITE PATHS: THE RAGING PHOENIX - Season 1 Episode 2

Although reincarnation while retaining memories sure was a wonderful thing since Rain won’t have to start his mind from scratch, he was more interested in the game interface. He had never been much to play games, but he could recognize a game screen… at the very least.

At the times when he was too hurt to do anything after the matches, he would pick a game or a book to read, so he could tell what was going on. It was still weird, though.

Human Path (Lv 01 – 0/100): The most balanced path. All of your parameters will increase by one point upon level-up.

Language (Lv 01 – 0/100): You gained the ability to learn and understand spoken and written languages more easily.

“I can’t understand how come this is a skill, but I guess in a situation like this, everything can be, and it has a reason to be,” Rain thought. “I can’t speak, but I should be able to improve this skill and level it up by understanding words… this might take a while, though.”

Rain had no idea how to level up the human path. In theory, he would have to hunt monsters or do quests to level up himself and a class; he assumed that the path was like a class. Regardless, that was out of the question.

Rain tried to kill time by checking his system, but there was nothing else to do. After checking the descriptions of everything, he learned what the parameters could do. They were simple, after all.

The real interesting stuff was the active and support skills. In the active ones, Rain could equip the skills of the current path, while in the support ones, he could equip the skills of other paths. He could only level up the equipped skills; while it was a limitation, it was also an interesting thing to know… it means that there were other paths available to him.

A few hours later, the woman woke up, and despite the fact that she had just given birth, she looked full of life and energy. Rain had some cousins that gave birth before, and they looked exhausted after the ordeal.

In any case, the woman began to say a bunch of things, but Rain only understood his name when she also shortened his name and called him Rain as well. At least he won’t have to go around and tell everyone that.

Language (Lv 01 – 2/100): You gained the ability to learn and understand spoken and written languages more easily.

“Just as I thought… I will have to hear and understand the words to make the skill level up; this will be one hell of a guessing game,” Rain thought.

At least it will be fun since Rain will see his progression clearly. In any case, while reincarnating and keeping his memories had its perks, it also had its demerits. Rain had no idea how he should interact with his mother in the future, and things only got weird when she prepared to breastfeed him. He tried to fall asleep to make things less weird, but he failed.

On the other hand, it seemed that such a thing worked well for him since he managed to be awake to hear a loud impact in the distance… It seemed like the sound of a bomb. Rain’s mother looked startled as well, so that didn’t seem like a good sign… she was nervous but not exactly surprised.

“It seems that I was born at a difficult moment…” Rain though.

Before long, the granny that helped with the birth showed up, and she also looked tense as well. While she was saying a bunch of things, she began to pack a bunch of things in a big bag.

“Hey, making a newborn baby and a woman that just gave birth travel isn’t a good idea,” Rain thought.

Despite that, Rain saw his mother getting up as well and changing her clothes. Things were starting to look like noise outside, and Rain could hear some shouts and the sound of animals grunting. Amidst the confusion, he tried to pick a few words that the granny said, and weirdly enough, when he made a fair guess that was correct, his mind confirmed that it was correct… he wondered if that was the power of the system.

Either way, he only picked the words war, evacuation, and travel since he imagined that it was a situation like that; he chose the most appropriate words. In any case, before long, Rain’s mother picked him up again and then took him outside with the granny. Rain didn’t even have time to see his house properly, but he saw a carriage with two horses outside. It seemed that he was born into a fairly well-off family… Speaking of family, he wondered where his new father was supposed to be. Interacting with a new father will be even more difficult…

As Rain looked around, he noticed a large number of people rushing across the streets in a hurry, each carrying their belongings. They navigated through the bustling scene with a sense of urgency, hurrying from one side of the street to the other.

In the distance, massive creatures soared through the sky, capturing Rain’s attention. These majestic beings breathed out fierce flames, creating a spectacle of fire and light. With an overwhelming realization, Rain confirmed that they were indeed dragons, their enormous forms and fiery breath leaving no room for doubt. The sight of these awe-inspiring creatures filled Rain with a mix of astonishment and excitement.

“I really picked the wrong time in the lottery to be born, huh,” Rain thought. “Anyway, to be born in another world with my memories and with a system, as suspected, things are way too convenient and needed to be balanced out… a pack of dragons does the trick more than a little bit.”

After they entered the carriage, the granny began to drive it. Still, through the window of the cabin, Rain was able to see the dragons flying… There were a lot of people nearby, but it seemed that something outside of the city was bothering them…

Speaking of the city, Rain didn’t pay attention to it at all; dragons were way cooler than whatever was the architecture of the place.
