THE REINCARNATED WITH THE STRONGEST SYSTEM
Chapter 16: The Storm Is Happening
“Ya!” (Magnum Explodes!)
A rain of leaves fell on William's head as he tried his craft on the tree. The bark of the tree has no visible damage, but the AOE effect has been activated.
[Illium Exploded ]
(5 Points of Mana)
— Provides AOE Damage of up to three square meters around casters.
— Damage depends on the strength of casters.
— Knockback effect
'... So, this skill is currently not doing any damage because I have no power?' William frowned. 'But, it still has a knockback effect.'
William checked his stats and sighed.

'I need 822 more exp before I get another level to improve my stats, ' William mused. 'Killing one goblin gives me 60 points. To level up, I must kill fourteen goblins. Should I add my points to Strength when I level up?'
After careful consideration, William decided that it was not a good idea. Even if he added his stats to the force, he would not be able to inflict great damage on the enemy. Adding stat points to her intelligence would be more ideal since she could act as support for her Mama Ella.
'Magnum Burst is a good skill because it allows me to drive away anyone who dares to target me. It will also give Mama Ella enough time to come to my rescue. Even if it doesn't do any damage now, the knockback will keep me safe.'

“Eyaaaa!” (Mama, use the Horn Attack!)
“Meeeeh!”
Ella's horns were twice the size and glowed blood red.
The goblin was stabbed and screamed. Ella did not stop after she stabbed her target. Instead, he ran towards the basement wall with the intention of crushing the goblins into pulp.

'Good!' William grinned when he saw the notice. Currently, he is multitasking. While examining the battle, he also observed the map at the same time. His right hand held a wooden stick in preparation to protect himself if a random monster appeared beside him.
He had already learned his lesson and he would not let any mistakes happen this time. He and his Mama Ella have only one life. It is best to be careful and take things slowly.

Although he was tempted to add stats into power, he knew that now was not the right time to do so. He put the three stat points he gained into the int and it made him feel a little more confident.

'With this the first floor has been cleaned, ' William clapped his hands happily. 'Time to go to the second floor and see what kind of adventure awaits us.'
Ella licked the baby's cheek. Obviously, he's in a good mood. He could feel himself getting stronger. For him, it was a good thing. His only concern is William's safety.
As if reading his thoughts, William reached out to hug his neck.
“Eya.” (Don't worry, Mama. I'll keep myself safe.)
“Meeeeh.”
“Eyaaaaaah!.” (Let's go to the second floor!)
“Meeeeh.”
William sat on Ella's back with a smile on his face. The Angorian goat walked steadily as it descended, carrying its baby, to the second floor of the Goblin Crypt.

Nine years passed quickly, like grains of sand in an hourglass. For William, those nine years were filled with familiar calls as he and Ella walked the thin line between life and death.
Of course, he could choose not to use the Ring of Conquest and live a peaceful and stable lifestyle. However, he did not choose that route. He did not want to waste his youth by just eating and sleeping.
His mentality with respect to his second life was largely due to the influence of the novels he had read while he was still returning to Earth. William knew that if he did not seize the opportunity to become stronger when he was young, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
In a valley located near the outskirts of Lont, hundreds of Angorian Goats and sheep were currently grazing quietly. Not far from them, a ten-year-old boy was sitting on a tree branch. He continues to be wary of potential threats to the safety of his flock.
The wind shook his short red hair as he looked at his flock with a smile. Among the hundreds of Angorian Goats, the herd consists of only fifty individuals. The rest were managed by five other shepherds, and apprentice shepherds like him, who lived in the city of Lont.
"Aw!" A young boy in his early teens runs towards the tree where William rests. "Your grandfather is looking for you!"
'Grandfather?' William glanced at his friend Theo, who was also the son of the most senior shepherd in Lont.
"Do you know why he's looking for me?" ask William.
"No." answered Theo. “But, he doesn't look good. Looks like he's very angry.”
William frowned. His grandfather was a very happy man. Very few things can make him angry. Theo had no reason to lie to him, so there must have been something that happened to the old man while he was away from the estate.
"Good." William nodded his head. “Can you keep my flock as long as I'm gone? If I don't return before my shift ends, take them back to our family home.”
“Eh? But, I was supposed to play with the others this afternoon.”.
"I'll give you a piece of apple pie."
“Two pieces.”
"Agreed." William grinned. He then shouted at the herd that was grazing in the meadow. "Mama! Let's go home. Grandpa calls us!”
“Meeeeh!”
An Angorian Goat one and a half meters high came out of his flock and ran towards William. The boy jumped off the branch and landed nimbly on his Mama Ella's back. The two traveled back to their residence in a hurry.
What William doesn't know is that there is a storm going on inside the Ainsworth Residence and it's all because of him.
