Mother. Father.
I... arrived at her, house? I guess that's what you'd call it.
It's a rusty old shack, it's got plenty of space though. Maybe a ruined nobels house long forgotten, but now it's home to this little thief. Level 50 ish if I remember, this girl has fire magic and thief skills... Quite the odd combination, considering they don't really mix well I think.
If it were Assasin like she wanted, then I'd see why.. but she chose fire magic AFTER she became a normal thief.
Thief's are stealthy, fire isn't exactly that.
Assasins can be stealthy too, but fire damage can help do some DoT damage to balance off the burst damage Assasins do.
Oh to hell with it, I got a hunch this change chicks the fire crusader. She's got tons of Mana, NPC, elvish, and she has fire magic. Only like 3% of elves have fire magic, and the elves usually emit nature magic Wich counters it in a weird way, I'll tell you later.
I mean... system does this kinda stuff alot, if something happens it's usually important. I.E. The kingdom I gotta save ( Oh shit I forgotten ), and Mordova's whole shtick. So, she's the perfect candidate in my opinion. Let's see what shes up to.
...
Alright... her house is normal from the outside, no evidence of an underground bunker... she doesn't seem to be the wealthiest huh? Something tragic absolutely happened right? Idk. It's prefect Crusader material though.
System, do you detect any other beings inside there?
| So, I'm not supposed to tell you... but yes, about 3 total, counting the girl who tried to rob you. |
Alright then... wait i hear something...
" So, how did the robbery work out? "
" Failure, the dude was way to strong. But, he let me go for some reason. "
" Why? "
" I said, I don't know. "
" Do you think he tried to track you? "
" I didn't sense anything, you know my ears. "
" Sigh... guess it's same old porridge again tonight. Sorry Daniel. "
" But Ashley said she'd get us some jerky tonight! "
" Sorry, but it seems that an error was made. Don't worry, I managed to steal some salt for our porridge. "
" Yay! Salt! "
Fuck dude... I didn't expect to cry during this time... shit.
- " * Snifle * "
" Did you hear a Snifle? "
" No? Must of been the wind... come on, I got the water heating. "
... ah fuck... ahem, uh shit. Cobalt! GET YOUR EMOTIONS TOGETHER. Shut up Crimson, you slut. YOUR BEING A DUMB FUCKING BABY RIGHT NOW! yeah your right imagined crimson I'm making up in my head. What do I do though... I could tell Mordova or something? GO FUCKING GIVE THEM JERKY. Fine.
System, buy some jerky.
| Confirmed, what grade? |
Maximum!
| Confirmed. |

Sigh... I'm a failure. Couldn't even steal a small litt-
Is that jerky I smell?
I peered out the window at the front door, that old man followed me... shit, were going to have to-
Ohohoh that smells so good....
Maybe I could...

Me - " Hello? Your Cobalt right? What are you doing here? "
Cobalt - " I uh... felt bad for not letting you Rob me, so I brought some jerky? "
Me - " What's the cost, compadre? "
Cobalt - " I got a hunch that your a prophetical being like me, A Crusader. "
... what's a crusader?
Me - " Don't got a clue what that is. "
Cobalt - " You've heard of the Demon Lord at least right? "
Me - " That guy? Yeah, been around as long as I lived. "
Cobalt - " So, in order to beat him we have to gather a bunch of people who are experts at certain types of combat and element. I do Ice, and I use guns. You do fire, and you use knifes. "
Me - " So, you want me to fight the Demon Lord? "
Cobalt - " Not yet, we need the other crusaders first. In the meantime your family, dare I say, will be taken care of by a God, while you improve your Combat abilities over time. "
... what the fuck is this dude going on about... I guess when you start getting the level of skill to make Divine level weapons you start going crazy from the furnace fumes.
Me - " Give me the jerky and I'll think about it. "
Cobalt - " I can also buy something else, I have the whole player market at my disposal... what would convince you right away to try it out? "
Hehe, idiot. I'm going to ask for something ridiculous, and your not going to be able to provide... giving me an excuse to not do it.
Me - " 1 unique weapon, a 7 course meal for 3, and a new house. "
-----/\./\----------------------------------------
Cobalt
-----/\./\----------------------------------------
Easy.
With no regards to my wallet, I take a quick look through the market... buying whatever I deem necessary...
Me - " Can you take your family out here for a moment? "
...
After a moment, two small males poke their heads out the doors... one can't be older than 15, and the other is 7 in my eyes.
I Pulled out the entirety of what I have purchased.
- A table, lavished with beautiful decor.
- A full 8 meal course for 3 people.
- A card that created a small house
- A I.O.U. from me to make a weapon
- Pretty lights to illuminate it.
Laying out the meals, I bowed an lead my hand towards the food... letting it do the talking for me.
" Your a crazy bastard, you know that? "
Me - " Could be worse, I could just be hording this money. "
...
I let them enjoy the food to their hearts content. I myself had the jerky since they had better options, best not let it go to waste.
1: Soup
2: Salad
3: Cheese Dishes
4: Sea food Dishes
5: Steak dish
6: Breads
7 : Ice cream
8: Hot chocolate
The last two aren't exactly meals... but I guess it counts. All in all, they seemed to have filled themselves to the absolute brim to my delight... maybe seeing these kids reminds me of my childhood.
Asi...
...
Lizzy...
...
..
.
27 years, man... why does that number keep changing in my head? I know it's 27..
I've been inside this world for 27 years, 27 years have past. Yet it doesn't even feel like a year has passed since then. Since I lost Everyone, With the opportunity to save Lizzy... no matter how small. I will overcome it.
Believe it, it'll come true right? Mother? Father? I know your smiling upon me, if possible I'll rescue you too...
Would you even remember me though?
I've changed... so much...
I used to... what was it! Ugh... I think I used to make something... music? No... I don't think that's it... I remember I kept a centipede once... and a spider. Is that fate actually? Idk...
Lizzy, she liked making stuff too, but she made...
Oh, she made the music, I remember now. I made... food... I liked cooking I think, yes... I remember now.
I loved cooking.
I was the only one in the family that could cook, usually we'd get take out... but eventually I Learned how to cook.
What age was I again at Digitization? I've forgotten already, I know crimson said it before right?
Sigh... I'll eventually figure out everything. For now, I'll just try my best.
