Alex or Meru as we know was now part of the trading caravan. He was tasked with going to different places to trade products. What Alex really wanted to do was to explore the world. He knew that there were more mysteries to this world than he knew. And it would be in his favour to know about those. To prepare for this trip, Alex took his first bath in ages. It was hard to have a proper bath when all the water he saw was frozen or freezing cold. And he was really not into ice baths. So, he had to bake…-

The villagers loved the sweet potatoes distributed by Alex. They quickly gobbled up the delicious treat. Due to that, Alex was able to create a favourable impression of himself.

At the moment, Alex only had three simple goals. To survive, to improve his living condition and to eat good food. Now, his survival was ensured due to the protection of the tribe.

The explanation given by the chief was helpful to Alex. He finally got the gist of how to use the mysterious energy. And he was ready to try it out. He moved to an isolated corner in the training ground. Then he closed his eyes and sat in a relaxed position. After that, he began meditating. One by one he relinquished his sensory perceptions to focus on meditation. Finally, he felt the mysterious energy flowing through him. It was a mild and peaceful energy that gently flowed through his veins.…

The next day, Alex woke up early. For the first time, he had a good sleep. Mani's house was decent when compared to all the dilapidated wooden houses seen inside the village. Although it was smaller in scale compared to the Mupan's house. It had private rooms for each member. This was a boon for Alex. It helped him move in and out of the interdimensional farm unnoticed. He even thought of living inside the farm for a couple of days. Due to how seasons change inside the farm. He thought that he might…

In his home, Mupan was smoking something when Alex walked in. He promptly invited Alex and gave him a seat. The seat was a thick wooden stump shaped and polished to make a chair. "Do you know why our tribe is called the stone head tribe?" Mupan asked while gazing at a stone figure in his house. It was a circular single-room house, everything in it was in plain sight. And the stone figure was placed near the east corner of the house. "It is because of the nature of our power. The mysterious energy that…

Somehow Alex was different. From among the kids who described their experience, he understood that he was different. 'Is it a birth secret?' Usually, that was the case. To experience something completely different from the tribesmen, he had to be different somehow. But in his case, there could be other reasons to be different. After all, the real Meru is already dead and he was occupying the body. So, instead of the bloodline. The change in their soul might have caused him to have a different…

After reading a long list of notifications. Alex finally regained his ability to move. But before he could think, a chill went up his spine. He literally felt like a popsicle. "Wha!" Opening his mouth, he tried to take a breath. It was a reflexive action that he had no control over. Yet, never could he have expected to drown in cold freezing water. He flailed his arms wildly trying to balance himself while coughing. 'Why is there water? Did the ice melt around me?' Alex who didn't…

'I should have known it. If a weapon can make three-dimensional projections of animals, appear in the mid-air and stop a running mammoth. Meeting the dead ancestors might not be impossible.' Alex thought. The geezer said that they will be bestowed with great power. And Alex was curious to know what it was. Was it the same power the hunters displayed when they killed the mammoth? Or was it something entirely different? Many questions popped up in Alex's head. Either way, the only truth was that…

Looking around him, all he could see was raw meat. Deboned and packed neatly in between leaf and wood. It was arranged in a way to make it easier to carry. Four large planks were tied together to form a long rectangular shape. On it had wooden planks arranged in uniform to make a platform. The hunters arranged the meat on top of the platform to carry it to their homes. Most of the bones were hidden nearby to be carried later and the larger pieces of the bones were set aside to be carried with…
