When my stats appeared in front of me, my eyes stared at a certain part of my status.
My face darkens and a visible tick mark emerges on my head.
I look upwards and shouted at the top of my lungs, "Damn You Edaksus, High human my ass, give me back my height you BS True Creator of High Human." I curse at the sky.
"Lord Wodwick, I recommend you do not throw a curse at the True Creators," Rena said.
I ignore her advice and just continue to shout profanities
After a few minutes of cursing, I bid goodbye to Rena and left the room.
I walk in the wide and long hallway, heading towards the vast lobby to finish all the procedures at the counters.
I filled up some documents given by the receptionist and left.
Walking around at bustling street of the base, I headed to the nearby Teleport Station.
After a few jumps, I arrive at the park where the massive double doors are located, the base exit.
Hour later.
I walk out through the large double door exiting the base. A familiar sight of the bar basement greets my eyes, which is the wide-open area of the underground city.
The two guards who guard the large double door, bowed their heads to greet me, the moment they saw me walking out from the large double door.
I nodded my head in reply, I calmly walked down the lively street of the underground city heading to the exit.
A few minutes later I reached the surface.
I was now in the bar, having a chat with Crosst while drinking some beer.
"So how's the visit? Crosst said while gulping a mug of beer.
"Nothing much, I just walk around there and do some important things," I replied while I was mixing the beer and hot chocolate.
Cross had some ideas about what I did, so he didn't linger much on that question and changed the subject
"You have a weird taste kid," Crosst commented.
"Nah, this is normal with a standard like ours. I mean, some even mixed this with potent poison you know," I replied with a chuckle.
Crosst also chuckles.
"By the way, before I Forgot to ask, deed you get what you after?" Crosst inquired.
"Yeah, I got it," word by word my voice went quieter.
I slammed my head on the counter in frustration.
Seeing my reaction, Crosst held his stomach and laughed out loud.
"Let me guess, you forgot to buy that encyclopedia of Mystic Castle," Crosst spoke in a soft voice.
"Bing go," I Replyed.
Why do I always forget some important things? Whatever it must be fate, she wouldn't want me to have some spoilers right?
"Don't blame fate, old man," Crosst teased.
I ignore him and just drink my chocolate beer.
Crosst and I continued to chat for a while before I left.
The moment I walked out of the bar, a dark and shady alleyway greeted me.
When I saw the alleyway, I had a bad premonition.
"I hope I won't be caught up with some kind of small problem."
A few minutes later.
I shouldn't have taken that corner.
"Help, help me."
"Just keep quiet bitch or else."
In front of me, 8 thugs are trying to assault and then kidnap a girl, that looks like a princess of a intergalactic empire.
"Boss we hit the jackpot, this girl might be a noble or a princess, just look at her dress, that must be expensive," one of the thugs said to a large and bulky man who was their boss.
"Can we have a taste boss?" the other thug inquired.
The bulky man the boss of the thugs, smacked his subordinates in the head and said, "Stop it, idiots, don't you dare touch her, if you do, her price in the market will go down, I'll kill you all if that happened, understood!"
While the thugs were cornering the beautiful princess and spouting some nonsense and ideal chat.
I, who was witnessing all of this, pinch my forehead at how much stupidity these guys possess.
They already knew that the girl had a high chance of coming from a rich powerful family, but they still did it.
Are they courting death or something, if the person backing that beautiful girl up, knew what happened, their lives would be numbered.
While I was in deep thought, the thugs were already in a paste of subduing the beautiful girl.
4 of the thugs grabbed the girl's hands and legs to incapacitate her, the girl tried to fight but it was futile, at the same time one of the thugs cast a silencing magic, making all sounds within 10 10-meter radius vanish like a ghost.
The other guys started to cast a magic spell creating a rock cage.
They drag the girl to the cage, and the girl frantically moves.
She tried to shout but no words came from her mouth because of the silencing magic.
Seeing this, their boss signals one of the thugs to cover her mouth and knock her down unconscious.
But before the thugs could knock her down unconscious, I started to move.
I use teleportation magic and appear behind their leader in the blink of an eye.
With precise movement, I punch their leader into the ground and knock him out to the ground losing his consciousness.
At the same time, I swung my hand like a sword sending 7 red slashes toward the thugs, knocking them all with deep wounds, I did all of that in seconds.
The beautiful girl stared at the dead bodies of the thugs with no reaction, failing to register what happened.
After a while when the scene sinks into her mind, she covers her mouth while her expression shows fear.
If a normal lady sees this bloody view, she screams and faints leaving severe trauma in their mind. However, this girl is not normal, she is trying to control her emotions.
She took a deep breath with a rhythmic pattern to calm her nerves, and after a few minutes, she finally calmed down and smiled gently to cover her fear.
I've been convinced if her hands stop shaking.
I give her a once over.
even though she is giving me a gentle smile, I can feel her vigilance.
the girl has long chestnut hair tied in a low ponytail, green eyes, a curvaceous body with an ample bust, and delicate skin as white as snow.
She was clad in a beautiful blue dress with a white design and a silver tiara with a unique design, her outfit gave an impression of sci-fi esthetic.
At a glance, I recognize what materials, techniques, and technologies were used in the production of this dress, which is very advanced, it can only pulled off by a Galactic Level Civilization/Type 3 Civilization.
This girl came from a galactic empire or kingdom of some sort.
Her condition right now was bad, Her beautiful, Noble, and elegant visage was now like a beggar's, and her beautiful chestnut hair was in a mess, her jade skin was covered in wounds and dirt, and her eyes were devoid of emotion, only displaying her despair.
While I was thinking that.
I look at the girl again.
Even though this girl looks harmless, her physical strength is beyond normal people, she is at least as strong as a level 1 adventurer.
She might gone through a biological modification, some kind of biotechnology that could strengthen all aspects of the physical body.
If she had strength, why she didn't fight back, well it's simple, the men who attacked her, were far stronger than her.
"Are you ok, Miss?"
"I am ok, thank you for helping me," the girl said while bowing her head in gratitude.
"There is no need for that, by the way, I'm John Wodwick Alver, just call John."
"Luciada," she replied.
(Luciada Image).
"Are you from a galactic civilization?" I ask her directly.
When I spoke those words, her eyes opened wide but she immediately hid them and replied with a gentle smile.
Seeing her reaction and gesture, I immediately recognized how high her status was.
I didn't voice out what I thought and just offered her to follow me.
"If you want to survive and return, follow me, I promise you I'll do what I said," I told her with a gentle smile.
The girl stared at me for a while and smiled.
I look at her with curiosity wondering why she is just staring at me.
She nodded her head and said, "You're a kind person, sir John, I'll follow you."
She is just ascertaining my character and unknowingly passed.
I smiled and then spoke, "It is settled then, follow me."
I turned around and walked forward, toward the exit of the alley.
"Wait sir John, are we just leaving them here," before Luciada could continue her words, I interrupted her.
"Did you forget, they almost assaulted you," I said with a flat tone.
"No, that's not what I meant, are you not calling the official to apprehend them?" Princess Luciada said while frantically waving her hands.
"That is not necessary, they are going to die anyway."
Princess Luciada nodded her head meekly.
I continue to walk heading towards the exit of the alley while Princess Luciada follows me behind.
We walked the bustling streets heading towards the Inn, I walked leisurely while sometimes buying the things that interested me, on the other hand, Princess Luciada was looking around with curiosity and incitement like she had never seen the outside world.
Well, that's the perk of a Princess of a Galactic Civilization I suppose, they never left the confines of their castle until their coming of age.
Princess Luciada's gaze wandered around the place while thinking, " Amazing, so this is what an unexplored planet looks like, this is so similar to those fantasy novels, and so on."
"Don't get lost now, here hold my hands."
Princess Luciada visibly blushed, even so, she still held my hands.
We continued to walk on the bustling street while the setting sun was tainting the evening sky orange.
