202: Famir

Famir

"I— I know grand uncle, but… but… if I hadn't told him that there might have been a way to heal my sister, he would've never went to the forest at all," the young boy said as he started crying once again.  1

"Shh! Shh! Don't cry. You have to be strong now. Your sister needs you. Here, take this. This spear is yours now," the old man said. 

"Bu— But grand uncle, you found this. You should take it," the boy replied.

"Just shut up and take it. What need is there for an old man like me to take it, huh? If you don't want to use it then sell it or something. You should be able to earn a few rops with this," the old man said. 

"I… Thank you, grand uncle," the young said and took the spear. 

All the while, Ning was trying to figure out where exactly he was. He looked to the right of him and saw a massive forest, and on the left was a massive, empty expanse of barren land. 

After the old man handed the spear away, Ning finally got to see more behind him. Far away, away from where the group was walking, he could see the mountain he had been all this time there.

'Wow, that's so far away. Did these people carry me back here in under a day? I wonder how?' he thought. He didn't immediately come out of the spear.

There were a lot of people around him and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself. The group finally entered a small village and all the men walked away from the group to their own home. 

"Famir, I am going back. If you need anything, come to this old man. Don't hesitate to ask us for anything, okay?" the old man asked. 

"Yes, Grand Uncle," Famir said and walked away as well. 

The village consisted of around 20 homes made up of stones and mud. Thankfully, It was green all around, and they were out of the barren lands. 

Famir walked through the village until he reached a house next to the forest. He walked inside and dropped the spear. Ning was curious about what he was doing until he saw him run into a room and sounds of sobbing appeared again. 

'Sigh, I guess that's fine. The kid should cry a little more; holding emotions in isn't really good for the body,' Ning thought. 

Ning waited for half an hour, but the kid didn't stop crying at all. 'I can't believe I'm about to do this,' Ning thought and threw out his body. 

As soon as his body was out, he switched bodies and took back his spear. He walked to the room with the kid in it and entered. 

The room was very small, barely 3 meters in length all around. Inside was a small bed, on top of which was a girl with a white cloth covering all but her face. She looked barely 13 years old. 

The kid named Famir was crying right next to her. 'This is the sister he was talking about huh?' Ning thought. 

"Hey kid, get yourself together. You have a sister to take care of," Ning said. 

"Who?" Famir turned to the side and saw Ning's unfamiliar face. When he realized he didn't know the person, he looked around to find a suitable weapon. He ran up to a small stick by the side and held it in front of him. 

"Sigh, I'm not here to do anything bad to you kid. I'm here to help you," Ning said. 

"Who are you?" Famir asked with a quivering voice. 

Ning had a sense of deja vu. He smiled a bit, and said, "God."

"What?" Famir looked confused for a second and then immediately got more scared. Someone who would call themselves a god was likely never a good person. 

"Hahaha, I guess that answer only works on Hyesi. I was joking, don't mind my answer. I'm just a wandering nobody who saw you crying and came to help. I will leave once I help you," Ning said. 

"Who are you? Why should I trust you?" Famir asked. 

Ning shook his head. Suddenly, the stick in Famir's hand slipped out and fell onto Ning's arms. "Wha-aaAAHH" Famir suddenly started floating in the air.

Ning put him down and said, "If I was here to do something bad to you, I would've done so already. So you can be sure that I am not here to harm you," Alex said.

"Y— You are… You are an Enchanter," Famir said in surprise. 

"An Enchanter?" Ning was a little confused. But then he remembered that Enchanters could manipulate existing objects. 'I see. Telekinesis is in some way an Enchanter's ability,' Ning thought. 

"I am an Aether user, but that's not something you have to worry about right now. Have you eaten yet?" Ning asked. 

Famir shook his head. Ning took out a fruit from his storage and handed it to him. 

Famir's eyes went wide as he looked at the yellow fruit in front of him. He tried to search for storage rings in Ning's finger but couldn't find any. However, just the fact that Ning owned a storage device showed that he was not a random nobody. 

"Take it," Ning said. 

Famir finally got out of his shock and quickly took the fruit and started eating it. Ning looked at him very closely as the fruit he had just given was an Emerald mango. The mango should have healing properties, but that was only when it had Qi. 

But what about in a world that did not have Qi? Surprisingly, the answer was simple and in some ways, very unexpected.

Even though Ning brought the mango out of a world of Qi, the Qi was still in the mango. So when Famir ate the mango, he also acquired a bit of the Qi in it. 

Suddenly, bits of black waste started leaving Famir's body. "Wh— What is happening to me?" he screamed in terror. Ning on the other hand watched in absolute shock. 

'He entered the 1st Qi Condensation realm. He is a cultivator now.'
