The Huntress Is So Overpowered.
'What?' Rick uttered internally because he couldn't believe what he was seeing right now.
'All I did was smile at her and I got rewarded with a skill?'
'Oh it's not really a skill, but its actually a magical affinity.'
'Still, I got a reward for simply making her smile.'
'Hmm..... I wonder what an emotive magic is but it sounds cool.'
'I've never heard of it before though.'
'Oh well, that doesn't matter right now because it's still strange to see that I got a reward just from making an elf smile.'
Rick looked at his hands, then he slowly curled his fists and released them right after. 'So, I've somehow transmigrated into a primitive world of elves and right now I'm having a really beautiful elf taking good care of me.'
'How is this not a dream?'
'It clearly looks like I'm dreaming because I definitely recall being in my little apartment before falling asleep.'
'Moreover, I was just about to begin reading a slice of life novel earlier, so how is this not my brain giving me what I had wanted to experience so that I would believe this is actually real?'
'Please, tell me this is real.'
'System, is this real? Am I really in a primitive world right now?' He asked his tribal elf system by communicating to it through his thoughts but he got no response from the system.
'Oh, I guess you're not the sentinent type huh.' Rick noted as he glanced around the large cave again.
His gaze landed on the rough wall of the cave, then at the two to three large animal hides resting by the cave corner.
Just by looking at those, it was easy to assume that whoever had hunted the creatures with those hides must have been really strong.
Moreover, the size and length of the hide indicated that the monster must have been huge as well.
'Doesn't this mean they'll be dangerous and large creatures in this world?' Rick asked but swiftly recalled what Gwen had said earlier.
She had mentioned something about the woods being dangerous, so maybe she meant the woods was filled with large, bloodthirsty creatures.
*Gulps* Rick gulps but he still couldn't stop himself from smiling right now
If there were dangerous creatures in this world, at least he had some really cool magic to help him protect himself now right?.
'Well, since my magic affinity sounds cool, I'm hoping it does cool things in the future as well.'
In other words, he shouldn't really be too scared or worried about how his life would be from now on.
Rick pushed this thought aside for now and resumed glancing around his new home.
Aside from the animal hide and fire burning in the centre of the huge cave, the only thing Rick could see in the cave were a couple of primitive looking spears, knives and a bunch of leaf loincloths and animal hide loincloths, indicating that even primitive people had their own cavemen-styled wardrobes.
'Yeah, that's actually funny, but it's nice to see this as well.' Rick chuckled internally before realising something very important.
'Huh? Wait a minute.' He stared at his body and noticed that he wasn't really wearing anything.
The top half of his body wasn't covered but the bottom half was clothed in a leaf loincloth.
However, unlike that of Gwen's green leafy loincloth, his had turned brown already.
But this was the least of Rick's concern because right now, he realised that the only thing preventing his bare butt from touching the ground was none other than his loincloth, making it to seem weird to his modern mind who had gotten used to wearing trousers and briefs rather than just leaves.
Oh well, if anyone were to ask if he missed modern clothing and technology right now, he would definitely say "Yes, Yes, Yes!!"
But if they asked him if he would like to go back to his previous world and lifestyle?
His answer would be a swift "No, No! No!!!"
After all, why would anyone want to give up on this opportunity of living with elves who were known to be a race full of beautiful people, and judging by how attractive Gwen was, he was certain most other elves in this clan would be just as beautiful as well.
So, in a nutshell, he would definitely prefer this new life of his than to go back to his old one because back there his condition had worsened a lot that he could barely even hold a mug much less walk around within his own apartment.
Speaking of walking, Rick glanced down and realized he could actually feel his toes now.
His body no longer looked weak and heavy but instead it looked completely light and he couldn't feel any pain if he simply moved his head or limbs.
Now, back to the topic of his toes.
It's been years since he had last felt the sensation of his toes, so right now he couldn't help but feel so happy to move his toes however he pleased.
He smiled while watching his toes move on their own but while he was busy engrossed with this, Gwen noticed this as well and was smiling in the corner of the cave as she ate her own bundle of fruits whilst keeping a watch on him.
Rick noticed her gaze and he was once again mesmerized by how beautiful Gwen was.
She was by far more attractive than any other popstar idol or model from his previous world.
Noticing this, Rick couldn't help but be reminded of the fact that this could all just be a dream.
'But seriously, I really do not want this to be a dream.' He uttered in his thoughts.
'Please, do not be a dream.' He uttered again.
'Cause if this was all a dream and I wake up back in my apartment tomorrow morning, I'm definitely not going to forgive my brain for making me have this perfectly realistic dream.'
Rick stared around once again and he clenched his fists with a resolve to make sure this is truly real.
But to cancel any remaining doubts within him, Rick swiftly pinched his cheek very hard.
It hurt but he wondered if this amount of pain was enough to jolt him out of his sleep.
