Those who will be playing with him

After about 20 days in the game of travelling from the north down to the south, Abel reached the starting city of Ortown. Without bothering to return to Abelard's family residence and ended up in one of the streets.

"Where are they?" The boy looking around while standing right in the middle of the bustling busy street, searching for his friends that are actually his employees. Well, that doesn't matter because they are going to be his friend, accompanying him in the game, now the matter is to find them.

But he didn't need to search for them because they found him. The boy felt a light touch on his shoulder and he turned around, then he saw a young girl in mage robe, blushing lightly, "Si-sir… Are you Mr Abel?"

Abel smiled when he heard those words and he replied, "You found me Diana, yes I am Abel. But don't call me Mr from now on don't call me Mr, just call me Abel is enough, where's the other by the way?"

She answered, "Yea, they are waiting for us at the marketplace, I'll lead you there"

Then she took his hand, Abel blushed a little when she did it but that doesn't matter. They made their way toward the marketplace as soon as possible. And when they arrived at the busy-looking market place that is filled with people, they saw a group of 5 handsome and young-looking men approaching them amongst the crowd.

Diana suddenly released her grip on the boy's hand and waved her hand around. Unbeknownst to her, the crowd behind her suddenly rushed to a place and the boy was dragged with them. When she looked behind, the boy was gone from the place where he was standing.

Meanwhile, at the boy's end, Abel arrived at one of the most crowded places he ever saw in the game. It was visible to him that an old-looking man in formal uniform was standing on the stage. Right beside him was a brown-coloured chest-plate.

[Auction house]

"30 gold coins!"

"35!"

"I'll offer 50 coins!"

When he heard the numbers people were shouting, Abel sighed and slowly exited the auction house, knowing he had no intention of participating in the auction. Right after that, he saw the group of 6 approaching him. It was the 5 men and Diana from before.

When the girl saw Abel, she rushed toward him and checked his body while asking a lot question, "Are you alright, sir? Does it hurt in any way? Here, take this healing potion"

Abel smiled when he saw her caring for him, "It doesn't hurt, in fact, I don't feel anything when they dragged me. Anyway, I guess we have something to talk about, let's go, I know a good place"

[Abelard's family residence]

"Hello?! Is there anybody home?" Abel shouted as he slowly entered the house. There was no reply after a few seconds of him waiting. He then told the group of six to enter the house and sat on the couches on the living room while he went and checked the coast.

He didn't find anything, not a single sign of living in every room of the house, but when he entered Abelard's bedroom, something caught his attention. A letter, sitting on the bed, out of curiosity, he approached the letter and soon called for Abelard, "Abelard? Abelard, come here"

The mini boy instantly appeared on his shoulder. He was about to ask why the boy called for him but then noticed the letter on the boy's hand, "What is that letter, Abel? I want to read it"

From your dad

To my beloved son

My beloved son, you might not know, but the last time I saw you were also the last day of me being in this city. The war raging against a kingdom on the east has called for me. I don't know if I will even come back alive, but if I didn't… I'll leave everything in your hand from now on, don't lose hope and continue our lineage. Sorry if I wasn't a father good enough for you.

For some reason, Abelard's started dropping tears, he is crying while he rubbed his eyes, "Foolish dad, I don't get to say my farewell and you told me you were going to die now?"

[NEW QUEST]

[Find and help Abelard's father in the raging war against the eastern kingdom]

[Difficulty: D rank]

[Detail]

"Abel, you are my last hope, help me and make sure my dad didn't die" He disappeared right after that. Abel stood there for a few seconds as he thought about it. Suddenly, he punched the bed, "Damn it!"

He exited the bedroom and went to the living room and sat on one of the couch, "… the five of you, please start introducing your name"

"I'm Ryan, my job is beginner bowman, nice to meet you" A man with blonde hair and eyes as green as a snake could be seen on his kind of elvish looking clothes.

"I'm Raymond, my job is beginner warrior nice to meet you" A man with a strong build but a small body and brown hair. His body covered in a sturdy-looking leather armour. Probably is expensive.

"I'm Marcus, my job is beginner warrior, the same as Raymond, nice to meet you" just like Raymond, small body, strong build, but this time, his eyes and hair are completely black and are looking as smooth as silk.

"I'm Conrad, my job is beginner assassin, nice to meet you" This man is like the Raymond and Marcus, he is like the combination of both brown eyes and black hair.

"I'm Franklin, my job are beginner knight, nice to meet you" This man stands out the most in his plate armour, his strong build accompanied with a kind of large build could be very intimidating for his enemies.

"I'm Diana, my job is beginner mage" Cute, petite, pretty girl, she would get 9.9/10, not perfect but are good looking. Also accompanied with a round face, blonde hair and blue eyes, she is even more beautiful (Probably the reason our MC chose her as his assistant).

Now, Abel introduced himself, "As you all know my identity, I don't need to explain all. All I could tell you is my job or occupation are beginner magic warrior"

They were surprised when they heard his words.
