Angel Fall's

Chapter 5: Chapter 5 The chicken house massacre part 1.



As the sun started to rise Marino ran shirtless with black pants and Tailor-made leather suede soft medieval-style shoes. Sweating and panting like a person having an asthma attack.

Every day since 5 weeks ago he had started running in the mornings trying to reach the level of his idol One Punch Man. Right now he was at the 9 and a half kilometers mark today he would do it finally. Before he could only run for 5 kilometers before almost dying of heart failure. Not that he was weak just that that's what he felt like.

Sometimes his parents would join him in his exercises. But today, like recently during many other days they had decided to do their own morning exercise in bed.

As Marino ran on the lone dirt road towards his house on the northern end of town. On his left, he could see a one-story farmhouse made of bricks with clay-tiled roofing. There was only one road leading to the house that is where he saw her. A beautiful young girl with dark hair. She was a bit taller than Marino so he figured that she was probably a bit older than he. As he ran and looked at her their eyes met and they both smiled and waved before she disappeared behind the bushes.

Segres was a pretty dry place with lots of small thick bushes, small trees and lots of small hills all around.

Though their family would sometimes buy eggs from the girls house. Marino had never gotten the chance to go ask the girl's name as she was never present during their short transactions with her family.

With the beautiful smile of the girl in his mind Marino was more motivated than ever before as he ran. Despite his sore legs and exhaustion, he ran with adrenaline pumping through his veins.

Finally arriving at his homes front gate Marino cheered as he got on his knees, pumping his fist in the air before collapsing out of exhaustion to the ground.

Laying on the ground Marino was greeted by his favorite fans the little lambs. They surrounded him and started making sheepish voices as they congratulated him on a job well done.

Hearing this Marino was satisfied. Getting recognized for great accomplishment always felt great until the father goat came and bit his hair. Thinking that it was something to eat or just being an ass.

Instantly after the surprise attack Marino slapped the goat in the face, stunning it for a second. Using this opportunity Marino got up to his feet and turned to face this beast.

The Goat howled in rage as it prepared to charge. Marino hunched his back and narrowed his eye's preparing for this fearsome charge. Being 2 meters away from the beast left him with no choice but to face the Goat head-on. If he ran the goat would be able to catch him and beat his ass to the ground. As a man, this was unacceptable though he was not yet a man in this life, non the less he had to do this.

This was no ordinary goat he was, 113.5 kilograms and 106.7 centimeters in height. While Marino stood at 45 kilograms and 150 centimeters in height. There was only one way to victory.

The two fighters stood on a sandy dirt path watching each other. Then the horned beast howled as it lowered its head and charged.

Seeing this the boy smiled as he had already made his preparations. In a second when the beast had only managed to take one step, the boy unleashed his attack. He had implanted his right foot partially in the sandy dirt path. With a kick of his right foot, he sent sand and dirt flying into the beasts face blinding it. Then the boy kicked the ground with his left leg, sending him flying to the right away from the beasts path.

Being slapped and now blinded the horned beast roared like a crazed lion as it blindly continued to charge blindly.

The best ran past the boy straight into the thick door of the boy's house creating a loud bang, like a riot team with a sledgehammer busting some drug dealers door down.

Seeing this the brave boy got up on his feet and preyed to Sighard in his mind that his parents didn't hear that.

Marino had in his past life watched the angry Ram channel so he knew exactly what to do in this situation.

The boy charged to the ram's side and grabbed it's left horn with his left hand and with his right he took control of the beasts right back leg.

The horned beast struggled fiercely trying to break free. But it's was too late, after the brave boy got a firm grip, he pulled his hand's towards himself while he pushed its side with his head.

The beast howled as it was brought down to it's right side. The boy smiled and taunted the beast. " Ha haa get powned noob. "

After a while, the beast gave up in humiliation as the boy let go. Satisfied he walked towards the door and as he was about to enter. He glanced back towards the road which had only a single house at the end of it with that beautiful girl living there. Thanking the girl in his heart for giving him the strength to push himself to new heights he opened the door and went inside. After which he took a very long bath to wash away his sweat and fatigue after accumulating it from such a hard mornings workout. Sadly this world's bath's had to be filled by hand, with water carried from the well. So without further thought Marino started to carry water to the bath.

As he did that, back in the yard the beast with it's head hung low returned to eating dry grass as the little lambs snickered at it and DIST it behind it's back.

Luckily the Beast didn't break the door and Marino's parent's were not disturbed by the boy's legendary fight.

In the evening during dinner, Marino was shocked to see that there were no eggs. Lately, he had started to consume large quantities of eggs apparently depleting all of theirs.

'Mother where are the eggs?' Marino asked with concern in his voice.

'Now now son, do not blame your mother for this. It is simply you who has just eaten them all. Your constant consumption of 10 egg's a day is way too much.' Jesus said firmly.

While it was true that he ate a lot of eggs, to him it was a must to ensure his growth. The average height of a man in town was 168 centimeters which was due to the weak diet of the medieval age. To Marino this was unacceptable. Now that he had a chance to start over again he would mold this body into the best it could be. So he asked.

" Cant we just buy eggs from the farm up north? I mean they have over 40 chickens? "

" They said that they would only be selling seven eggs a day to us. We cannot just take them all four ourselves. After all, eggs are a precious commodity. Also, I think this is a good thing, if you wish to build those ships then we need to save a lot of coin. We cannot be spending all our earnings on food. " Jesus explained.

Jesus was right Marino thought. While egg's were not extremely expensive and were easy to get. He did consume an excessive amount of them. Commonly peasants ate egg's every day but only a few, unlike him. If he wished to get more egg's they would have to get their own chicken's. Most families had at least two chicks at home but they didn't. Mary preferred to just care for the lamb's.

Seeing her son's seriousness while he was clearly in thought Mary decided to comfort him and said. " Don't worry my son. While we might not have over 20 eggs for you to consume daily, we still have plenty of goat milk and meat. "

" You are right Mother I should not be too greedy." Marino said.

Hearing this the parents were satisfied but Marino wasn't. Ever since Marino's reincarnation there had been darkness growing in him. His ambition had led him to greed and arrogance. No more could Marino see the people of this village as equals. In Marinos eyes all stood beneath him, standing there only for the sole purpose of being used as stepping stones in his path to glory. They were inferior beings in his eyes, lesser than the sheep that his family cared for. The only ones he respected but didnt see as equal were his parent's and the Just Lord. Hearing that the farm up north had decided to limit their purchases of eggs, secretly infuriated him. How dare lower-class peasants tell them what they can and can't do. With these thoughts after eating Marino went to bed.
