in the morning, on the edge of the Beynaz forest before Seinth goes to Brothel. A boy was carrying a large bag containing supplies for a team, even though his body was small, the boy could lift it with a little effort.
"Stay away boy, if you don't want to be targeted by monsters!"
"uh!"
a man who wore leather armor on his chest, shoulders, arms, and knees with a long sword placed behind him and a short sword at his waist. yelled at the new boy whose part was carrying supplies for their team going in the Beynaz forest to complete their mission of killing the stone snake monster to get the snake's eyeballs.
Considering now that getting someone who can carry their supplies without hindering the activity of 7-member team is very difficult. so this person named Bart, the leader of his team, tries to protect the boy, seeing the boy's thin and small body but has the strength of the adult rarely encountered. it would be unfortunate if he were killed at this young age.
sigh, seeing the boy only back 3 meters away makes Bart shake his head.
"Why are you still standing there? Go hide in a safe place or go up to a tree there!"
whossh * clannk *!
Bart and his team are facing monster dogs, big like monsters that attack Lisa's village but these monsters are weaker than monsters chasing Lisa. Although it was weak, for the villagers and Bart plus his teammates, they were overwhelmed against it.
The boy saw the condition of his team was bad and wanted to help but was yelled at by the leader, so inevitably he stayed away and hid in the bushes with the team's inventory bag.
"Loren! Cover me!"
"Yes, captain!"
Bart runs while attacking this monster dog and is assisted by Loren who uses energy arrow with her bow.
whosssh*
Bart see an attack coming his way and tried to resist the bite attack from the head of this large dog the size of his stomach with his long sword.
clank * bamm *
"Ahh ... damn it hurts!"
Bart bounced into a tree, trying to stand up and saw the monster dog running toward him. try to hold on again ...
whossh * whosssh *
"groooaaa!"
"Captain!"
"Nice shot, Loren!"
Bart, who was ready to bounce again, did not expect the shot from Loren's arrow energy to pierce the two legs of this Monster Dog, although this monster was still standing, his movement began to slow down and Bart who manages to head behind the monster. stab the monster's buttocks with his long sword.
Thrust*
"grrrooaoaaaarrr !!!"
This monster dog is very angry and wants to become a berserk, but Bart jumps on the back of the monster in pain and runs to the monster's head while pulling out his short sword.
STAB *
"Gr ..."
collapse*
"how is the other?"
"They got rid of weak monsters, so as not to disturb the captain to kill the leader of the monster dogs because there was not enough time to help you, captain, while killing dozens of these monster dogs."
while Bart is exhausted from just killing the monster dog leader, his teammates try their best to get rid of the mob of monster dogs.
"Loren if you have the energy, help them as much as you can. Our team cannot bear losing members! And I will help after recovering a little."
"Roger that captain!"
Loren saw Bart's condition being exhausted because his opponent was a monster who had the power of stage 3 or more of the Basic Foundation while Bart himself was only a practitioner of Phase 1 of the Basic Foundation.
in this world monsters with the power of stage 1 Basic foundation can kill five or more humans with stage 1 Basic Foundation. therefore the Adventurer Guild recommended a team of seven members.
fortunately captain Bart was able to kill the monster even in that way.
"You are indeed strong, captain!"
She looked at Bart again and then walked towards the teammates who were fighting and helped them.
"this girl!"
sigh*
'That's all the luck I got and your support Loren!'
Bart saw his trembling right hand! and focus on recovering.
Watching spectacular events, the boy who carrying the supplies gets excited when he sees the action of Captain Bart killing the leader of Monster Dog.
'captain Bart is so strong!'
but when he imagined the action again in his mind he saw a team member who was exhausted in defending against 5-7 monster dogs, then he felt something in the bush slowly approaching behind that person.
'no, mister Owen looks tired, he will not have time to escape if ambushed! I have to do something!'
the boy thought hard about how to deal with this situation, seeing the trick used by Captain Bart, then he took the stone in his grasp and ran to where mister Owen was and left the team's inventory bag behind.
'I must get there quickly'
the boy ran fast even though he was only stage 4 Body Refinement, seeing that the monsters in the bush had approached behind mister Owen and would ambush him, he ran as hard as possible.
"grrrowl"
something leaped from the bush with a roar towards mister Owen's back.
'I will not allow that'
whosssssh* bam*
The boy threw the stone he had taken earlier and hit the monster's head, and not only that the boy continued to run towards the monster who was lying on the ground with a groan of pain hit his head and took out a small knife to stab into the monster's head with one strike.
"argghhhh !!!"
The boy jumped and ...
lift the knife up with both hands.
stab*
"Graaaa!"
The monster swung its claws at the boy who jumped at him to keep it away from him, but still, the boy received his claws directly on his waist and with determination to live, he managed to stab the monster's head!
"Uhh !! That hurts!"
"boy! you saved me?"
saw the new boy who usually carrying the supply bag suddenly running at him and resiliently received a direct attack from the monster just to give a single prick to the monster's head. Owen was touched!
collapse *
"hufftt ... hufftt ... hufftt ..."
"hold on boy!"
Owen saw the boy fall and saw the boy's waist covered in blood made him panic and tried to get rid of the monster he was facing as quickly as possible, and immediately save the boy.
"fuck you MONSTER!!"
he gave everything he had to kill them and got a few wounds and exhausted in exchange for killing them quickly. Owen put his arm around the boy and rubbed the medicine on the kid's waist which was wounded by a monster scratch.
"Boy! You risk your own life just to kill that monster?"
"Ughh !! If I don't kill him, Mr. Owen will get hurt with his ambush ..."
"You are a brave boy huh? And reckless!"
"What happened?"
Bart and the others approached Owen after getting rid of all the monsters there.
"Huh, why is this kid hurt?"
"that looks pretty deep wound"
"Yeah, he got that wound for trying to help me from the monster's ambush, if not, maybe I'm dead now!"
the other members were curious to see the boy hurt but Owen gave them their admirable statements especially against Bart.
"Let's go back to the city, we postpone our mission and bring the bodies of these monsters to the Adventurer Guild, they will give a lot of money for their bodies."
"" ok captain! ""
"Oh yeah, Loren, give him a light recovery pill for his courage."
"ok"
Loren took out the Pill from the bottle and made the boy swallow it. the boy felt less pain and fell asleep.
"Haha, looks like it was a tiring day for this kid."
"Yeah, come on bring all the bodies of these monsters and immediately go back to the city, I want to take a shower and rest!"
"Alright, Owen, you bring our supplies and this boy, we will bring what we can bring to this monster's corpse."
Bart gave orders to his team and looked at the sky 'hmm, this is also the most tiring day for me'.
after five hours of walking, they returned to Broad City safely. and rushed to the Adventurer Guild to report what had happened while selling the bodies of the monsters, especially the leader of the Monster Dogs and they got a lot of money for that their total income today was 400 Gold.
Bart separates some Gold for team needs and shares the rest for his team.
"Leon boy, this is your part"
"Huh? Did I get a part too?"
"Yeah, take it and buy something better than that home knife"
the boy named Leon had gotten better even though the wound had left a mark on his body, it was still better than dead.
"Yes! Thank you very much! Captain Bart!"
"make sure you are in good condition when we will continue the team mission"
"yes!"
Leon goes to the weapons shop to buy weapons but the shortest sword like the cheapest here is 15 gold, while the money he receives is only 7 gold so he buys a knife for 4 gold and some of the cheapest protective equipment for 2 gold. leaving 1 gold to go where to eat alongside the road and order a packet of grilled food to bring a surprise to his sister.
1 gold left, and it looks a lot for him because it can buy grilled meat on the streets around the Adventurer Guild for 1-2 months. here 1 silver is equal to 100 copper while 1 gold is equal to 100 silver. 7 goals may be a lot for him but for an adventurer that only a little money that can not buy adequate equipment.
'With this I can start a new life again with my sister!'
holding his hand tightly Leon did not forget his dark past and why he was determined to steal food only to be beaten by the shop owner.
"It's just that if I could become a student of the mister who saved me."
Leon kept thinking while walking towards his house.
'After the mister saved me, I felt that my body was full of energy that I had never felt. and those strange fruits give a miracle! my sister who every day feels pain all over her body now no longer feels it after eating the fruits. so I only tried one and the rest I let my sister eat it all. "
"But! if only the left leg and the scar on my sister's face could heal too!"
Sigh*
knock* knock* creaak*
"I'm home, Sis"
"Uhmm, you came home early today, is there a problem, Little Leon?"
hearing the sweet voice of his sister, it made Leon's heart calm and happy.
"it's not a problem, I'm just a little lucky, TA-DA!"
Leon takes out a package of food from behind and gives his older sister, Emy, a surprise!
She sat in a chair facing the window and had a stick near her chair.
Emy saw a surprise done by Little Leon, and it was grilled meat, she was touched. because in the past four years they could count the number of times they ate meat with their hands.
her face full of wounds that made her the ugliest woman, but if you look closely, she has beautiful gray hair down to her elbows, her eyes are shining with some black and blue colors, her body is thin like malnutrition you can see her body bones clearly, her breasts stand out even with her thin body.
"Little Leon ..."
Emy tried to stand with the help of the cane that was next to her chair and walked towards Leon with one right foot touching the ground while his left foot which could not be moved assisted by the stick she was holding.
"It's okay sis, it's time for my turn to help you, eat this meat! So that your body can be healthy again like when you protected me before!"
"Why are you like this? You should be concerned about yourself first, why is it the same as the fruit of the miracle that you brought a few days ago? You only ate one and for the remaining four fruits you gave all of that to me."
"Shhh! Everything is fine sis. When I got the five fruits from mister, I was also saved by him and since that day my body feels light and the people in the adventurer guild tell me that I become a practitioner of level 4 stage Body Refinement! I can be an adventurer! "
"Is it true that there are still good people helping us, Little Leon?"
"Yes, I didn't see Mister, but heard it from my head, sis! He told me to be strong with the energy he left in my body, but I don't know anything about that energy ..."
"Ok ok, let's eat because you brought a lot of food, so this time you eat a lot too! You also look thin!"
sigh *
Emy thinks 'if only they hadn't betrayed our family!' our lives will not turn out this way. for four years she has been trying to get food and can only eat 2-3 times a day with Little Leon. and for fear of being made a slave for her beauty, she did not hesitate to damage her own face with her nails and leave scars on her face that ended horribly.
while for her left leg it was caused by Erron's gang, because they wanted to seize the money that she had kept. and she tries to fight back to protect the money for Little Leon but ends up being battered and her left leg becomes crippled.
"Hey sis, why are you crying!"
Leon saw Emy crying silently while eating grilled meat.
"Uhm! I'm sorry, Little Leon, for being a burden to you ..."
"It's okay! That also happened to me, I'm just a burden to you sis for four years that is tiring. I will try to find a way to restore your left sis's face and left leg when I'm strong later!"
"Enn! Sob * I'll be waiting for you when you're really strong Sob * Little Leon!"
Emy sobbed while watching Little Leon eat his grilled meat, 'even if you can't find a cure for me, I will still be happy to hear how strong you are to be able to look after yourself and protect friends who are worthy of you Little Leon.'
"I have eaten my share, I will practice in front of the house, sis, you eat all of it so that you get enough nutrition, your pain is gone because of the fruit of that miracle, so now you have to eat a lot! I go."
"Silly Little Leon, fine. Work hard! I'm sure you can!"
nodding, Leon left the house and trained with his new knife.
Stab * Swing * maneuver *
he repeated it repeatedly until he was sweating all over his body.
night falls and he just takes a break drinking water.
"Huh, that mister can use telepathy, the rumors that only Class A Adventurers and above have! How many years so I can be like that?"
With that in mind many times, Leon made Seinth's figure as a target to be strong, even though he didn't see him, but with a rumor that the person who saved him could use telepathy that could only be used by Class A Adventurers and above, it was enough to ascertain how strong it was. the mister in his mind.
"Little Leon, let's go to sleep, you need to let your body rest to get good training results."
"ok sis"
Emy who saw Little Leon practicing from afternoon to midnight from the window of the shabby and small house, made her know how much determined that Little Leon had, he began to change for the better. it makes her very happy! and it made her smile for the first time in the last few years of this difficult life.
after practicing till night Leon did not wake up until midday, but did not wake up by himself instead he woke up due to the screams from his sister and opened his eyes wide and then rushed to where his sister's voice was.
"Ahh! What are you doing ?! It's not that you're satisfied making my left foot crippled!"
"Hehe, you have beautiful eyes and skin even with scars that make your face really ugly. And it seems you have a good day huh?"
Emy was very angry to see a group of gangs from Erron that made her unable to get out of the house and collapsed because of the pain she suffered every night which essentially ruined her future.
someone seized Emy's stick she was holding to help her stand in front of her door.
"Ugh!"
Emy fell while trying to grab her stick that was taken back in the hands of the person who took it.
"Calm down, you ugly girl! We came here because we heard your beloved little brother is getting a fortune? So we want to get money for your protection to stay here!"
"Didn't you not ask us like this before?"
"Previously, because you were ugly and you didn't eat enough, we were kind enough not to mess up your life, and now you have a fortune, you have to pay your protection fees to us, Erron gang."
The big bald man grinned as he answered Emy.
"that ... is ..."
"what are you doing to my sister!"
Emy, who began to grim because her life was full of twists and turns made her not want to live anymore but when she heard the voice of Little Leon, she tried to survive for the sake of her younger brother!
"Heh, so this kid is getting fortune, he looks so thin! haha"
"" HA HA HA! ""
Erron's gang saw Leon come out and laugh at his body's condition while watching him help Emy sit on a chair.
"Give me back the stick!"
"give us your protection fee before getting your stick back!
all five members of Erron's gang looked at Leon with a grimace.
"Then I'll take it myself!"
Whosssh *
Leon tried to run and grab the stick.
"eitttss!"
the bald man blocked his speed and took Leon's hand and slammed himself on the ground.
Bang*
uGhh!
Leon bled in his mouth and felt his whole body scream in pain.
"Little Leon !!"
Emy tries to approach him by crawling on the ground but is intercepted by one of Erron's gangs.
"Hmm, a boy who is only level 4 in Body Refinement, don't be arrogant, you kid in front of Erron's gang!"
Spit * on Leon Face.
"Since you rebelled, I will take it myself and I will take your sister as a hostage too! So make lots of fortune so that your sister is safe! HAHA!"
"AHAHA"
"ugghhh!"
after all of Erron's gang laughed at him, the others searched Leon's body and took all of his armor and knife with the remaining money bag.
"With this our business is over, and if you still love your sister, you should send 100 gold this week or she will be miserable. Do you understand, boy ?!"
"p ... ple ... se ... let her go ... ughh!"
Leon tried his best to endure the tightness and pain in his body and begged them to release his sister while crying hysterically.
"Pleas ... I don't want ... to make her suffer again ...!"
"Then look for 100 gold for us this week and I make sure for one week your sister will be fine but if you don't bring 100 gold in one week ... HEHE!"
Bang * Bang * Bang * Bang *
"Ughhh!"
"Please stop it!!!!!"
"Hmpph! This will happen to your beloved sister! Let's go!"
Leon was hit by a barrage of blows by the bald man who was very much stronger than he was now. and make him pass out quickly.
"Little Leon !! Little Leon !! Little Leon !!"
"Shut up, ugly girl!"
an Erron gang member is annoyed and makes Emy pass out and take her away with the others to their base.
about three or four hours, Leon woke up with a groan of pain in his body.
"aargHHHHHHH! Sister !!! arghh"
sob* sob*
"Why? Why did this happen to me and my sister! When I want to start a new life"
"Where can I get 100 gold? Even though I give them 100 gold I'm not sure Sis Emy can be free. ARGHHHH!"
"This world is not fair !!"
sob* sob*
Leon hysterically complained about his life and could not bear to imagine seeing his sister suffer for himself again while slumped on the ground.
"Hmm? And here I come to find out what familiar feelings are giving me signals"
someone came and saw a boy whose body was full of wounds and some blood could be seen.
"Ughh, who is ... there?"
"The first time I met you and saved you was because Lisa wanted it, and secondly instead of you getting stronger, you were even more battered than before? I said, instead of getting lucky you get a Rotten shit dung like little things like black dung flying into your faces !? "
"Is that you mister? please ... help my sister ... mister ... pwless"
hearing the words of someone who had just arrived and his voice felt like someone who had saved him before, Leon begged him and fainted again.
"Haizz fainted ?, Since you reminded me how bad it was for me to get hit by dung-like shit on my face before I came to this world, so I will save you first for now!"
