I Found a Door to the Elven Realm-Chapter 10: A New Beginning in the Elven Village

"Hey, hey! Emily, calm down. I’m fine! The System Lady told me I’ve gained a passive skill."

Emily was still holding his shoulders in panic and, for a few seconds, didn’t understand what Eren was saying.

"Passive Skill?"

When Eren nodded, Emily was glad that the danger had passed. But then she understood the meaning of passive skill, and all that was left on her face was shock.

"Eren, I’m going to tell you something, but don’t be afraid."

"Ok."

Eren was having a hard time concentrating, catching the scent of the woman standing over him, and he kept secretly staring at her breasts that were mostly on display.

"As far as I know, humans, elves, dwarves, and all known races can learn their skills from higher beings or through altars. For example, when everyone in this village fulfills the necessary requirements, they go to the Heart of the Village in the center and develop their skills there."

Eren listened and realized why Emily had called that thin tree the Heart of the Village before. But his eyes narrowed when he realized where her words were going.

"So you’re telling me that elves or other races can’t learn their skills on their own?"

"Hmm. I’ve also had my doubts since yesterday and was planning to look over the notebooks my mother left, but..."

Eren didn’t interrupt the sexy elf girl who was still standing over him and holding him by the shoulders. He would like to stay in this position for years.

"In the Evon Universe, I think the only beings that evolve automatically and get power-ups to all their stats as they level up are monsters.

I’m not saying you’re a monster. Don’t worry. But I guess Evon sees you as both a human and a creature. That’s why it gives you 1 development point like us, but also improves all your stats as it does with mindless monsters."

"Really?"

Despite the worried expression on the woman’s face, Eren didn’t think what he heard was a bad thing.

After a brief silence, a strange expression appeared on Emily’s face. She started to smile. "Why do you always call Evon ’System Lady’?"

"Don’t you think Evon’s voice sounds like a woman’s? It’s even a bit like a pissed and irritating young girl."

Emily shook her head, her gaze slightly suspicious. "To me and to everyone else, it’s the emotionless and divine voice that controls the entire universe."

Eren and Emily lay side by side on the bed and started talking like two very close friends. They had talked about similar things last night, but Eren had never asked this woman about her family.

Now that he had the opportunity, they talked about both the village and the private life of the woman. Meanwhile, he learned what kind of system Evon was and the general characteristics of creatures.

As a result, he realized a few things.

Something was wrong with Eren, probably because he came from another universe.

In addition, this troublesome situation wasn’t a bad thing. On the contrary, it allowed him to gain bonus stats and learn skills in an impossible way, like monsters. Finally, Eren was almost falling in love with this woman.

The last part was something Eren had a hard time admitting to himself. Just two days ago, he was making plans to marry his girlfriend, with whom he was in a relationship for years. He even applied for a loan to buy a few new household items and a car.

He was slowly feeling something for this elf who shared his pillow and looked at him with a big smile on her face.

Half an hour later, the shock of the events subsided and Emily gave Eren the bread and soup she had brought. They were both talkative as they sat on the floor and had lunch.

Eren’s ignorance about this world also slowly diminished.

He knew better now what he was up against, and he was also aware of the advantages he would get.

There was a time difference between the two realms. It was morning when he was showering in his home, but it was almost evening here. It was close to ten hours of difference.

One other thing was worrisome. Monsters were strong and numerous, according to Emily.

Even a village with high-level elves was afraid of the creatures of the forest. The average Level 20 to Level 30 elves of this village could never leave the settlement unless they had to.

For the rest of the day, Emily continued hunting the creatures around the village. She especially gave priority to the north side, where the farms were, and the south, where the fruit trees were.

..

Emily smiled when she saw Eren sleeping in her bed.

She had grown up with the tension between her mother and father, had always been seen as a freak in the village, and had never had a close friend.

For the past year, people in the village had been warmer to her, but still, no one was really close to her.

Emily was now seen as an idol by the village youths Nimbo and Mel. But about five years ago, she was a freak in the whole village, known only for her mother’s reputation, both good and bad.

The daughter of a woman who crossed the Jade Forest and the Mountain of the Dead to just f*ck with a human.

The daughter of an embarrassment who succumbed to her desires and cheated on her good-hearted husband.

If her mother had abandoned her duty to protect the village, how well could this girl do her job?

Emily had been dealing with bad thoughts and criticisms for years. She had now found someone who looked at her with clear eyes. It was such a refreshing feeling to meet this person who spoke kind words to her.

She had a friend for the first time.

And maybe they could even be more than friends...?

Eren was sleeping soundly as the evening wind came in through the window. Without disturbing him, Emily sat next to him and took a detailed look at the young man’s left hand and chest.

He looks okay.

Even though Eren looked a little better than yesterday, he still looked average. He also had a chubby body, and his body was still bloody.

Even so, Emily looked at him with great affection, not disgust. She didn’t care much about appearance. After all, she’d lived since birth in a village where everyone’s hair was green or yellow, and people had similar looks.

Even though Eren didn’t realize it, his different appearance increased his masculine charm, which he thought didn’t exist at all.

Emily blushed and looked at Eren with eyes so beautiful that any man or woman on the Earth would envy.

She was starting to feel something too.

..

Waking up at night, Eren was a little disappointed when he saw Emily lying in the other bed on the floor. He had secretly dreamed that this sexy and not so innocent elf would lie down next to him when she got back from hunting duties.

But even if elves were innocent creatures, it wasn’t as absurd as he’d thought. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He watched Emily’s innocent face for about 10 minutes before standing up and going into the front room. Every now and then, his eyes swept over her completely exposed white legs. He even moved, reaching out his hand to touch the plump breasts that were almost fully visible.

He couldn’t use his brain for those few seconds.

I should stop being a creep.

He got his hormones under control. But he immediately realized what he was doing, took a deep breath, and returned to his bed.

"It’s dangerous to be in the same bedroom with this woman!"

..

The next day, Eren hung out at the cafe or restaurant in the village. He never took a step out of the village. He knew his limits and the state of his body.

He talked, joked around, and met new elves while sitting there. Emily came occasionally and took a break from work. But mostly he was alone.

In the meantime, he met as many elves as he could. Especially, he communicated with the owners of the cafe and restaurant and introduced himself to all grown-ups.

These people needed to understand that he was not a dangerous person and that he was going to live here for a while.

After struggling for a day, he achieved his goal.

Many elves were clinking wine glasses and laughing as they sat in the restaurant after dinner.

"You are a funny human boy..."

"Your black hair is cool, brother..."

"Emily is sure lucky to find you if you know what I mean. Hahahaha..."

People, elves, loved him.

He was sure that his name would be well-known in a good way in this village. And for the time being, this was enough.

He walked into Emily’s house dead drunk with a smile.

That night, Emily looked at this human with awe and surprise.

Although she was born in this village, people were still distant from her. But Eren had already made dozens of friends.

The expression on her face took many forms, but she finally decided on something in her mind.

Her face reddened as she entered the bedroom after Eren.
