St Chaos Healer

Ch 6 - Commotion

I am currently climbing a hillock.

It's a small rocky hill with no trees or bushes. This hill was situated at the edge of the forest, away from the town.

But the good thing is that this hill was a source of stream water that runs down from the hill to a lake near the town. This stream was relatively smaller compared to other streams and rivers around our town. Hence no one visited this place very often.

Since this place was secluded, I made this place my training area.

I am 7 years old now and had already started training my body a year ago.

The one thing I learned is that the body of humans is quite fragile.
I already broke a few bones when I first started training and that's when I figured what my limits were.
I had a general idea that humans were weaker compared to demons but never knew they had such a pathetic physique.

After I learned my limits when I was just a 6-year-old human kid, I changed and made a training regiment accordingly.

Today I am doing my daily training like any other day.
The first thing I had to do was drag a log tied to my back with a rope all the way to the top of the hill.

The log was actually a bit heavy. It was about double my size.
It was still quite a struggle to drag this log up the hill.

This was an excellent weightlifting exercise for my body.
It's been one year since I started this training.

The first phase was climbing on top of this hill dragging this log all the way to the top.

It took some effort but I completed it.
It took about 18 minutes to reach the top of the hill.
When I first started, it used to take me more than 90 minutes. So I could tell I progressed a lot in a year.

After I was done carrying the log on the top of the hill, I dragged it to where the source of the stream of water was. The source was near a big boulder on the top of the hill. The water gushed out of the cracks from the boulder and flowed down the hill.

I quickly removed my shirt and placed it on the side on top of one of the rocks there.
When I removed my shirt there was another pair of pouches strapped on my waist. The two pouches were made with the help of dried weeds tied together by yours truly. In both the pouches, there were five pockets each, stuffed with wooden sticks.

Actually, these wooden sticks were throwing knives also handcrafted by me.
I used the chipped flat stones as a blade and tied them to the sticks.

When I was just an infant I couldn't even wipe my own ass but now that I am 7 years old, I can do almost everything. But I am still quite weak compared to an adult human. Even normal adult humans who can't even use mana can easily pulverize me with their sheer strength.

Thankfully, I not only have my memories of my previous self but also have hundreds of years of battle experience as the Overlord. So it wouldn't be easy to kill me.

But I still need some offensive means to defend myself.
Hence I started making throwing knives.

However strong your opponent be, one good strike at the vitals with my throwing knives would be fatal.

There were also a few drawbacks:

-These knives were only good for a sneak attack, once the enemy raises their guard it will be difficult to hit their vitals.

-Not to mention the stone knives weren't as sharp as the actual iron knives, so if your enemy wore protective armor, these knives would be as good as useless.
