System vs Rebirth

"I have finally arrived." Noel smiled, looking at the village in the distance. It had been a few days ever since he finished the mission.

He went to Astary Town to get his wounds healed. Luckily, he got some Mid Level Demon Crystals, allowing him to get enough money to heal himself.

Since he had been living inside the fort the entire time, he didn't take much interest in this town and immediately left after recovering from the wounds.

After another day of running, Noel finally arrived in front of the village where the Master Blacksmith resided.

As expected from the village that had a Master Blacksmith in it, when Noel saw the farmer outside the village, he could see the power of a good equipment. Plowing the field was much faster and easier because the farmer could easily swing that hoe. The man itself wasn't that muscular, showing that the hoe itself was lighter than a normal one.

'Hoh? It seems that the Master Blacksmith also improved the quality of life for the people around here.' Noel muttered inwardly while looking around the area. The people in this village had a smile on their face.

'Still, there are more people than expected…' Noel also occasionally saw soldiers, hunters, and other people who used weapons for their jobs. 'As expected from a Master Blacksmith, many people wants him to make equipment for them. I wonder if I can get one myself…'

Noel walked to the village, finding people roaming around the area. The building in this village seemed to be sturdier and bigger compared to all the villages he had seen so far.

It was clear that the economy of this village was booming due to the existence of the Master Blacksmith alone.

But when he was about to enter the village, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Ah… Are you…"

The feminine voice startled even for Noel as he hurriedly turned around and saw the blue-haired siblings. They were the siblings that he saved from the bandits.

Noel politely nodded.
