The man shivered and twitched for a while before panting heavily. An awkward silence hung between the system and Harry. Harry silently looked at the man suffering without any expression, while Catherine was seriously considering asking the king to stop the knowledge impartment process. The man was just suffering too much. Even John had his initial satisfaction wiped out when the man started shivering more violently than he had when he received the knowledge. All he had now was endless worry and concern…-

It was not like he wanted to see the man experience pain and enjoy it. He wanted to see if only he experienced pain while recieving the knowledge... Well, it's like, how do I describe it, you know when you recieve your marks in a test, and you get low in them? The first thing you do is check if your friends got high or low like you, right? Well most of you should do that atleast. Or is it only me...? The man started shivering and twitching furiously, and John did not know why, but he felt a sense of…

Harry stared at the man blankly as he bowed down respectfully and said, " I Swear My Loyalty To You, My King. Allow me to recieve the holy knowledge of farming that can allow me to feed my family properly again." Harry looked at him blankly for a few seconds before realizing what was happening and standing up. He brushed the dust off his butt and then said, "I will grant you the knowledge that you want, but there is one problem. Nothing comes for free. Are you willing to bear unimaginable pain for…

Harry felt quite bad upsetting the system. After all, she had bravely showed her appearance to him. It was quite rude and harsh of him to laugh at her. So, he apologized to the system. "Hey System. I'm Sorry. I was just joking around with you. You look absolutely stunning. You saw my dumbstruck expression when I saw your face right?" A bit of flattery goes a far way in making friends and apologizing. And anyway, what he said was not false at all. She looked absolutely stunning. He was just teasing her to…

The system heard his question and responded to it by saying, Harry instantly rejected her shenanigans by saying, "I don't have any personal preferences! And anyway, that's not the problem here! Just project your own body! I asked because it would be easier to talk to a person with a body, rather than a voice in my mind." "SHUT UP!", he shouted at the top of his lungs into his mind. Harry then heard no whatsoever sound from the system and began observing his surroundings. John and his two…

The man felt an intense urge to facepalm. But he was technically doing it already, right? I mean, he was clutching his head with his hands, and that should count as facepalming right? Never mind. Back to the story. The man did not bother much about Catherine's comment and asked her with concern, "Did you really gain any knowledge?! Was the leader speaking the truth?! Will we really gain knowledge by getting stabbed by those needles?! Is the king really the messenger of the ancestors-" "Woah woah woah.…

Catherine was overwhelmed by the sudden influx of experiences and memories into her head. She felt dazed as she learned about terms that she had never heard before. The experiences felt familiar, like she had known about them all her life and had personally used them multiple times, and yet they felt unfamiliar, like they were something that she was hearing for the first time. It was an extremely peculiar feeling. Looking at her dazed expression, John smiled softly and said in a soothing manner, "Don't…

Catherine suddenly froze as she looked at her reflection. Her reflection smiled softly and lifted her hand. Catherine looked at her hand, rechecking if she had raised it subconsciously. But she didn't. Her had was not raised while her reflections hand had it's hand raised. Catherine chuckled softly to herself. She kept repeating, "This is all my imagination. This is not happening." She suddenly had an epiphany. If this was a cartoon, she would have probably shouted, 'Eureka!' She just realized that…

Catherine was slightly surprised at what the 'king' had said. What does he mean by 'I will grant them knowlege'?! Would he tell them some secrets of the world? Wait, what is he holding in his hands? Needles? What the hell? Catherine was utterly confused. But then she had a sudden thought that scared yet intrigued her. She had heard that some ancient masters knew the lost art of aclupuntue? Was that what it was called? She didn't really know what it was called. But, she knew that they stabbed needles in…

Harry smiled awkwardly as he just realised that he had completely ignored John and his companions. Looking at their blank faces, he felt like digging a deep hole and hiding in it. Harry finally said in a formal and dignified voice, "How do you do ex leader of the farmers. What is the reason that you have approached me?" John felt relieved that Harry finally spoke. The consequences would've been extremely harrowing for him if the king had not spoken and he would have to go back to the farmers without…
