The old man POV
This should be the place. I remember the first time i meet him, about 30 years ago. While i was young,Thirsty for adventure, and rushing thing. Haha So immature.
I reach my pocket and took a black clothes wrap. Within it i took a pair of bells then shook it lightly. a faint ring sound softly, echo clearly just like the first time i shook it. Lets wait a while.
...
...
Sigh* waiting is my forte, almost. I play the bells on my hand. I almost shook it again when i hear another bells ring. That him, i straighten my posture. For unknown reason he wear a bells arround his leg. i wrap the bells with the same black clothes and put it back in my pocket before i stood. Bow lightly toward the forest at the east part of the clearing. Try to get a clearer glimpse at the dog eared man that seems never aging. But i try not to get my hopes high because the man just come and go like a wind. Hmph, where is the good feels in act mysterious like that.
"Avoid the stairs at the north, i'll let you get inside the cave till the seventh floor, dont go deeper than that" i repeat his sentence at the same time when he spoke. A same word as always. Again and again. But still hold the same weight.
...
Hey, this time he's not left straight away. I'm wonder what he want. Hahah he still wear the same clothing as ever. A black robe with a runed wooden and bone necklace. Maybe at my next visit i should bring him a new garment to wear.
"Here boil this herbs at home. Give some to your wife too. Stay healty old man" The dog eared man spoke. Break my though for a moment. Then he fade back into the forest.

Who's old man. Sigh* i take another bow toward the forest then i move toward his location before. I took the herb. Not even wonder what herb it is before i put it on my other pocket. My wife should know better than me. Then i start to walk back to the goddess statue.
I wonder how old is he actually is. Did he perhaps a survivor. This is a dark age i live in. The knowledge from the past is lost within whatever calamity our ancestor face. We just scrap and put together the thing that we found. Even our cities is walled high. Compared to the few city ruin that i ever walk to its a pity sight. Most of the city ruin is emphasize on beauty, large and only a few that even erect a wall. While now there are more institute that do research on wellfare, our generation could use whatever past knowlegde that we found.
Hmmm, perhaps i should call him again. nope. that wont be that simple. Maybe... no no, argh i'm growing senile. Lets just focus on my task here.
I continue my stroll till my eyes caught sight of my student.
Hmmm what is this, yah, that's how they should be. Workin together like how a civilized person should be. Now, how should i start the training. Different class and subject. I cant become two person. Sigh* perfect. what a wonderfull wife. Hahaha.

How The Weak Live
This was a rough draft. Quite a meh one. The newer version is These Games of Ours. ---------- Lucious is deserter among many, living by dagger and beggary. Argento’s thirst for knowledge is endless, as is his belly. Kora is the perfect soldier, yet her sword grows dull in monotony. Formally known as the Empire's legend, the Captain is now stuck in stagnation. The Gods, grown weary of human deeds, have decided to indulge themselves in a different way. -------------- THE 7 REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF Clichés shall be avoided like the cancerous tumors they are. The world shall not spread its pink butt cheeks for the main character’s convenience. No character shall be thinner than one slice of white American cheese. No female character shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main character is. No villain shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main characters are. Grammar laws shall be upheld sometimes. I, the author, swear not to be a prick. I, the author, swear not to go away without warning. If other LitRPGs are like Skyrim, then this is going to be a combination of Dark Souls and Total War. Don't expect action for the sake of action. Be warned, this is a slow novel. Read the reviews to see if this novel is a decent fit for you. Disclaimer: I do not own that gorgeous cover art.
