Chapter 1: The Alluring Life in Another World

A life in another world that I long for.

A beautiful blonde princess, a charming and proud fairy, a noble saint...

These things can only be seen in dreams.

wake up.

Dorothy opened her eyes and wearily climbed out of the straw-covered wooden bed. She was wearing patched linen clothes, the roughness of which made her very uncomfortable.

But this also made her realize her situation, so she left the drafty wooden house and went to the knight's house to begin her work for the day.

It was still dark outside, but two or three poor families had already gone out on the road.

Everyone remained silent, their faces ashen, as they walked toward the only stone house in the village.

Five or six people walked along the muddy path. Because it had just rained, the cold wind blew through the gaps in their clothes, instantly waking their sleepy minds.

Dorothy's eyes were somewhat numb; she had been in this world for five days.

We have now adapted to this backward, medieval place.

Having come from a wonderful life of air conditioning, soft beds, and daily oily and sweet drinks in my previous life, I've arrived in this godforsaken place where all I get a day is two pieces of black bread mixed with sawdust.

His thin, short body had no strength whatsoever.

Now, not only are we not getting enough to eat or wear, but we're even short of two or three ounces of clothing.

He went from being a muscular man who was 1.8 meters tall to looking like this. His long, gray hair, which was plastered to his shoulders, had become tangled and matted due to long-term malnutrition and lack of care.

Of all the people traveling together, only Mary, who was walking at the front, had a slight blush on her face.

Compared to the other servants, she looked much cleaner.

Dorothy knew the reason; while hanging up the laundry, she saw through the crack in the door that Mary came out of the knight's room, while he was still tidying up his clothes.

With her hard drive full, Dorothy immediately realized what the other person was doing in that room.

With the knight's care, Mary's life was quite good; besides having enough to eat, she could occasionally get some meat to eat.

Soon they saw the stone house where the knight lived, a three-story building, as well as a stable and a warehouse.

It's the most luxurious house in the village, built right next to the river.

As members of the aristocratic class, this place was the other party's fiefdom.

Dorothy and the others are all the other party's property.

Upon arriving at the knight's "manor," Dorothy first went to the warehouse to carry the wooden tub to the riverbank.

Then wait for Mary to enter the knight's room and bring out the clothes and bedding.

Looking at the clothes filling the wooden basin, this was what Dorothy had to do this morning.

She reached out to test the temperature of the river water, and it was still icy cold even though it wasn't winter yet.

Fill the wooden basin with water, lift the wooden stick and start washing clothes. Before long, sweat appears on your forehead, and your hands are red from being immersed in the cold water.

As dawn broke, white smoke began to rise from the chimney of the house. Mary was preparing food for the knight. If they were lucky, the knight might even invite her to share the meal.

Some of the others in the group were preparing horse feed in the warehouse, while others were helping the knight plow the fields.

Their only pay was two black breads a day.

Dorothy naturally considered running away because of this treatment, but she didn't dare.

It wasn't because it would anger the knight, but because there were monsters outside the village.

Just two days ago, the knight personally killed a wild boar with huge tusks, protecting the village's farmland.

If it were just an ordinary wild boar, three or five adults from the village could handle it with farm tools. But the problem was that the wild boar was not only the size of a house, but it could also use magic!

In addition to having mud armor as hard as regular armor, it can also use earth spikes for ranged attacks!

This is not something an ordinary person can handle.

Dorothy is now in a dead end. Staying in the village means she's always hungry and cold. She's still young and skinny, and when she grows up, she'll probably end up like her sister Mary, being called to a knight's room to serve him.

Absolutely not!

Bang!

The wooden stick in his hand fell onto his clothes.

Despite her worries, Dorothy didn't stop what she was doing.

Just as she was about to grab a piece of clothing, Dorothy froze, staring at the rippling water in front of her.

Just now, I think there was a faint square in front of me.

She immediately focused her mind, staring intently at the water's surface, afraid to blink, lest it be her imagination.

At this moment, a simple panel appeared in front of Dorothy. Like the control panel on a computer, it was a rectangular box with a few lines of text on it.

Name: Dorothy Cartale

Strength: 2+ (Increases stamina, vitality, endurance, and melee ability)

Agility: 3+ (Increases attack speed, coordination, accuracy, and evasion)

Intelligence: 5+ (Increases magic power, spell damage, and spirit)

Skill: Sixth Set of Gymnastics LV1 (3/10)+

Attribute points: 1

"This is about allocating attribute points!"

Dorothy's voice trembled slightly as she saw a plus sign on each of her panels and instantly realized something, focusing her attention on her strength.

【Strength: 3】

With the points successfully added, Dorothy felt her cold hands warm up considerably, and her strength, which had been depleted from washing clothes for a long time, was also restored.

My sore arms and swollen back felt much better at that moment.

The pressure on his young body also decreased dramatically due to the slight increase in strength.

Due to various reasons such as famine, war, and poor medical care, the average lifespan of commoners in the Middle Ages was low. Dorothy estimated that she would not live past the age of thirty if she continued to live in such conditions.

A commoner is lucky enough to live a peaceful life in a lord's territory where the oppression is not so severe; to want to climb up is wishful thinking.

As the property of a lord, if someone is in a bad mood, they can even kill them in the street.

Furthermore, since lords possess a certain degree of extraordinary power, ordinary commoners can say they have no chance of ever turning their lives around.

But it is different now.

With this attribute panel, I can become a knight in the future, and even have the opportunity to meet more high-class people.

For example, the legendary magician.

However, we can't rush things now, as my attributes have only improved by a little bit.

The plus sign behind the panel has also dimmed, indicating that it is unusable.

Dorothy is unsure how to continue gaining attribute points. She might need to hunt something, unlock something, or perhaps recharge to continue gaining them.

Now all she needs to do is live peacefully here, slowly figure things out, until she becomes strong enough to gain freedom one day.

Moreover, in addition to attribute points, the gymnastics I learned before is actually considered a skill, and there are proficiency requirements.

After just a moment's thought, all the movements of the gymnastics routine I hadn't done in over ten years suddenly reappeared in my mind.

It looks like I can continue training and increase my proficiency.

Thinking of this, he continued to strike with the wooden stick, and the rhythmic sound of washing clothes echoed along the riverbank.

I did laundry in the morning and received two black bread loaves as payment at noon.

Although it was as hard as a weapon, eating half a black bread with cold water was enough to fill my stomach. In the afternoon, I cleaned and pulled weeds.

Dorothy's day passed quickly.

With a half-eaten loaf of black bread tucked in her arms, she dragged her weary body toward home.

She had wanted to continue studying her panel, but she was too tired and fell asleep as soon as her body touched the hay bed.

The next day, before dawn.

Dorothy quickly opened her eyes and then focused her mind.

At this moment, she was so worried that yesterday's events were just an illusion.

But the clear panel in front of her made her breathe a sigh of relief.

And then something happened that really lifted her spirits.

It was located at the very bottom of the panel.

[Attribute Points: 1]

We can add more points now!
