I Just want a Peaceful life

Looking at the teenage boy staring blankly like a fool towards Jayna, the woman named Jane smacks the boy's head. *Slap

"Ouchh.." said the boy.

"Neil, mind your manners. You are in front of an important guest." rebuked Jane.

"Ehh.. b-but.. " said the boy.

Before the boy finished his sentence, "Shut up and behave. Before I smack your dumb head." rebuked Jane again.

"Y-Yes.." said the boy.

Looking at this kind of banter, Jade, as their father, is feeling embarrassed.

"I apologize for this kind of behavior, my lady. Anyway, This is my youngest son, Neil. Although he is still young, he is already a second-grade combatant despite his age." said Jade introducing the teenage boy.

Before Angus and Jayna could reply, "Yeah, I am Neil, the most genius kid around here. So, who is this beautiful lady that I see here?" said Neil trying to flirt with Jayna.

Hearing this, the old man Jade feels like he wants to kill himself for his shameless youngest son. But, Jayna didn't react at all and completely ignored Neil with a cold expression.

Being ignored by the girl, "Hey, I am talking to you." said Neil.

"Shut up, Neil!! Don't embarrass me any further and go into the corner." rebuked Jade.

"Ehh.. Why?? Didn't father say that you will search for a girl for me before? Since she is already in grade two like me, I guess she is the one.." said Neil.

*Slap* another huge slap coming from Jade himself. Right now, Jade is furious and embarrassed because of Neil's act.

"I said shut up. It means shut the hell up. Guard, bring this imbecile out now!!" shout Jade.

The guards begin to bring Neil out while Neil is still feeling confused about what happened. Then, once again, Jade apologizes to Angus and Jayna for Neil's behavior.

Although it's been hundred years since he last had contact with the nobles and Heart kingdom, he knows that the act of Neil is vulgar, especially towards royalty like Jayna.

If it happens at the Heart Kingdom, all his family will be immediately executed for such behavior.

"Don't worry about it, uncle Jade. Besides, I also already have someone that will stay by my side." said Jayna while looking at Angus.

Feeling the stare of Jayna, Angus could only roll his eyes. He knows that Jayna wants to reveal their relationship with his uncle.

Looking at the interaction of the two teenage kids in front of him, Jade also realizes that the two of them have a deeper relationship than he thought.

"Alright, let's get back to the topic. Did you say you know the exit?" asked Jade.

"Yeah, actually, we are coming here with a few other people. One of them has a magical map of this dimension. However, we got scattered by some unfortunate events. According to the map, there is an exit here." said Angus while showing his marked map.

"Magical map of Endless Battlefield. That's very rare even for those of us who have lived here for years. All these years, we could only acquire one. Let's match the one you had with ours." said Jade as he also brought out his magical map.

After comparing the map, "Hmm.. Looks like your friend map is also accurate. However, I suggest you choose another route. If you still want to enter this exit. Along this path..." as Jade explains the dangerous path Angus and Jayna choose before.

Based on Jade's experience living inside the Endless Battlefield for years, there is a dangerous monster or beast along the path Angus chose before. 

After thinking for a while, they decide to reroute their map. The newly chosen route is becoming longer and full of uncertainty.

After thinking for a while, "Actually, we could shorten the path by entering this place." said Jade while pointing to the center of Endless Battlefield.

From the magical map Jade had, Angus could see a pitch-black area in the middle of the land. At first, Angus thought this was a hazardous area, so he never thought of going there.

"This place is why this dimension is called Endless Battlefield. This place will open to the outsider every few years, and somehow there will be a bloody fight for everyone. Moreover, this place is always enveloped by rainstorms without stopping."

"But, one thing is certain. Every person that survives from this place will become very strong. One of the reasons I could survive all these years is by coincidently entering this place. However, even at that time, I already lost count of how many times I almost died."

"They say only the blessed one with a strong fate could survive this place. So, are you interested in entering this place?" asked Jade.

Before Angus and Jayna could reply, "Oh yeah, just for your information, this place is literally hell."

"Among the other places that I already visit inside this dimension, this place is the most dangerous. Even now, I still do not understand why I could survive in that place." explained Jade.

Hearing this, "Uncle Jade, What is this place exactly?" asked Angus curiously.

"It's a battlefield. No endless battlefield, to be exact. Anyway, you should think carefully about this. You could still change your mind when we arrive there. Now, our current position is here..." said Jade while explaining the current place they stay.

According to Jade, Angus and Jayna are all in the middle of the Desert called the Surya desert. This desert shape resembles a river and is connected with a lot of areas. 

Furthermore, by living at the top of gigantic sand turtles, they didn't need to worry about other monsters or beasts. Sand turtles are famous for being docile beasts but also strong enough to frighten monsters. 

Unless it is monster overlord caliber or seventh-grade beast, they didn't dare to attack sand turtles. Moreover, even they attack it. They couldn't break the shell of the sand turtle and kill it. So, not many monster overlords and beasts want to fight sand turtles.

Because of their docile and peaceful nature, sand turtles also always search for a relatively safe place for them to bathe in the sand. According to the normal behavior of a sand turtle, it will take a few weeks or days before it stops moving and bathing in the sand.

Angus found that in the next stop, there will be an ancient ruin nearby. This ancient ruin is the place for adult ceremonies for teenagers in the Sur Clan. The ceremony will consist of trials that will happen in the ancient ruin site.

Hearing this, both Jayna and Angus become interested in this ceremony. Both of their main reasons for them coming to this dimension are searching for power. Now, they found a ruin that could possibly boost their combat power.

They also learn that some other clans or groups reside in the Endless Battlefield besides the Sur Clan. Like the Sur Clan, the others also use the seventh-grade gigantic beasts to protect their village and have a kind of wanderer lifestyle.

Then, all of them begin to exchange some information about various things while having a feast. Despite their harsh environment, they have pretty extravagant food made of monster meat.

Angus even found third-grade monster meat food that was supposed to be very hard to make. Based on his observation and familiarity with miasma, the food didn't contain any miasma and was quite safe to consume.

Looking at the stare of the two teenagers in front of him, "Hahaha… Don't worry, all this food is safe to consume. Inside this treacherous world, the most basic thing you need to learn is cooking monster meat."

"Inside our village, there are a handful of people that could process monster meat at this kind of level. I could even cook some monster meat myself." explained Jade.

Hearing this, Angus and Jayna begin to taste the third-grade monster meat. The moment they take a bite, both of them feel like their body is energized. 

Angus could feel his mana core become more saturated and in the middle of breaking through. But, he suppressed the feeling as he didn't want to break through now.

Seeing their reaction, "Hahaha… Judging by your reaction, both of you rarely eat third-grade monster meat. Well, if you eat more of this kind of meat, it will lessen the effect. Still, this proves that both of you are very talented people."

"I bet even my idiotic youngest son is inferior in terms of talent." said Jade with a kind smile while drinking some special drink.

"You are overpraising us, uncle. We don't have that kind of talent." said Angus humbly.

"Kuhahahaha… If a person like you says that, it means that everyone in the world is talentless and thrash." said Jade while laughing. 

"Dear nephew, you may hide your true strength from others. But, I am someone on the border of the seventh grade. I could easily see through your powerful body strength and your enormous mana inside your body."

"Just based on this fact alone, I bet you could even fight some third-grade combatant in frontal combat. As for Lady Jayna, I don't know, but I could feel a strange power inside your body that keeps improving your body." explained Jade.
