Chapter 41: Sharing energy

It was a pretty exhausting day for Kanan and the others. Hours upon hours of working left their bodies sore, tired, and mentally drained. Even the joy of successfully hunting the monster wore off once everyone was halfway back to the village.

Selin completely understood how they felt; she was once in their position after all. But she was still proud of their accomplishments and informed the trainees that they could go home and rest for the remainder of the day.

All of them waved goodbye and headed home. No one cared to explore, have fun, or do any activities. They were tired, dirty, and wanted nothing else but to rest their eyes and bodies.

People stopped to greet Kanan as he walked through the village on his way back home. He was respectful, not turning anyone away, but he was eager to rest his body.

They spoke about how glad they were to have a Shaman and how they hoped he could take some time to breed their mothers, sisters, mates, or some female related to them.

Kanan, of course, told them that the announcement from last week would go into effect within a few weeks, so he hoped they could wait until that time came.

Besides, in his current condition, he wasn’t sure he would be able to satisfy a woman.

Then his system butted in and told him that if he engaged in sexual activities, his stamina would instantly be restored.

Yeah, he acted as if that message didn’t exist.

"I’m back," Kanan announced weakly, collapsing onto the ground the moment he shut the door behind him.

"You look horrible," Viola observed, kneeling down to pet his hair.

"You think so? I feel horrible. I just want to scrub myself clean, then go to sleep."

"Food is already prepared. It’s in the pot if you want any."

"Really? That’s amazing." It was not too long ago when Viola told him that she didn’t know how to cook. Kanan braced himself.

"I’ll prepare a bowl for you."

He slowly got up and somehow managed to make it over to the table where a bowl of soup was waiting for him with some bread on the side.

Kanan was extremely weak from his training, but after taking a bite out of the food, a surge of energy flowed through him, and he devoured that food like never before.

---

"Ohhh, that’s amazing!"

"You should come here more often."

"Can you help out with the farm from time to time?"

"Thank you, Kanan, you’ve always been of great help."

Today was a rest day, so Kanan decided to make himself useful elsewhere. Today, he was on the farm helping with some crops.

Kale, carrots, beets, spinach, and other winter crops were easy to grow and harvest thanks to Kanan’s ability. He didn’t just make the plants quicker to harvest; he also made them quicker to grow and healthier.

He was a farmer’s dream come true.

"Hey, Kanan, the lumberjacks need you."

"Got it, on my way now."

He jogged toward the forest where trees were being cut down and saw the lumberjacks panting heavily after chopping tons of wood. They had to reach a quota for the day, and they were a bit behind, so Kanan was here to help with that.

"Oh, Kanan’s here!"

"What? Kanan’s here? That’s great!"

"We’re about to get through today’s work with ease now!"

"Haha! Let’s get to chopping those trees, boys!"

Feeling the invigorating power of Kanan’s ability, the lumberjacks shot up onto their feet and chopped down trees as if they had console commands in a video game.

When the workday was over, Kanan returned home, where Glena and Viola were waiting for him.

Dinner had already been prepared, and they served him when he sat down.

"How was your day?" Glena asked, giving him a kiss on the lips.

"A lot less stressful compared to training. It feels so good to rest my body, even if it’s only for a day."

"And here I thought that it was rough being in the mines." Viola chuckled, tearing a piece of meat off a bone.

"I remember your first few days working in the mines. You came back home super sore and could barely sit up." Kanan laughed

"Ugh, don’t remind me. I was so weak back then. Now I’m a mining master! No one is better than me at mining!"

There were plenty of people better than her at mining.

"Hmm, Omula, now that I’m thinking about it, where do you practice your powers?" Viola wondered. She practised hers in the mines, Glena practised hers on the farm, and Kanan was training as a warrior.

"With my dad. He has the same powers as I do. So after he’s done teaching me about the Village Chief’s responsibilities, he trains me in my ability." Her ability was gravity control.

Omula came over often. Her excuse was that she and Kanan were future leaders and needed to get along with each other.

"Ohh. I didn’t know the chief had gravity abilities as well."

Thanks to having the memories of his past life, Kanan understood things more than others, such as the existence of gravity, modern terms for words, and even sex positions.

He wondered how the villagers knew of such things, and his system informed him that it was all thanks to Lord Nemean, who, once returning to see the birth of his children, taught the people at the time a ton of things before leaving once more.

They were even taught how to read and write, something that’s still practiced today, but it’s not widespread.

Since Nemean was their god, they made sure to keep his teachings alive; therefore, they knew of things that a normal primitive society wouldn’t.

"Kanan."

"Hmm? Yeah, Omula?"

"In two weeks, you will have to perform your duties. Are you nervous?"

"No, not really. But I do wish to have a child with Viola before anyone else." He nodded at Viola while speaking to Omula.

"So sweet." Glena smiled. "But what about me? Don’t tell me you’re going to leave me out."

"Of course not. The two of you are my first priority, and once it’s confirmed that you are bearing my children, then I will mate with others."

Viola leapt onto Kanan and started kissing him passionately. Glena smiled, happy that Kanan was thriving after getting his blessing.

’I’ll be in that spot one day.’ Omula couldn’t see the future, but she knew that the second mate position belonged to her.
