Chapter 27 - Significant Change
Everyone assumed they were going to die. They can see those wolves approaching them. They have already attempted to flee that location, but given their current circumstances, this has become extremely difficult.
More importantly, their captain lost consciousness. This has a significant impact on their battle abilities.
They were already affected by fear. At the moment, neither of them can think of anything to do. In fear, they simply close their eyes. They were waiting for the pain. Surprisingly, they felt no pain.
In front of those four people, another person appears and sends those wolves backward.
In the next second, that person vanished and reappeared behind those wolves. He swiftly swung his sword at the wolves.
*************************************
"We are extremely grateful for your assistance. I honestly do not know what would happen to me or my teammate if you did not help us."
Mike regains consciousness 10 minutes later and learns what has happened. He found out that Sam arrived just in time to assist them.
He killed the wolves and rescued them. Without his assistance, he and his teammates would perish. He and his teammate immediately begin expressing their gratitude to Sam.
"Well, it is fine. However, I believe you and your teammates should leave the forest for the time being. Staying in this location would be dangerous for you and your teammate."
Sam told Mike to leave the forest. Mike nodded upon hearing that. Not only does Mike agree with Sam, but so do his teammates.
Mike and his teammates start to leave the forest after expressing their gratitude once more. Sam is still present in his place, looking at them.
He had a normal expression just a second ago, but if you look at his face now, you will see an unbelievable expression.
He can not believe he actually met Mike. His full name is Mike Ortho.
Even though he is not a main character or has any connection to the protagonist, Mike's sister Jennifer Ortho is one of the story's main characters.
Jennifer underwent a significant transformation in the original story after the death of her brother. If he is correct, she will seek vengeance once she learns what happened to her brother.
The most important thing is that her brother, Mike, is killed as a result of some sort of conspiracy. It was as if someone had deliberately assigned him a dangerous mission.
Mike is Jennifer's older brother. Unfortunately, compared to her, he has only average potential. Because of this, he can only accept missions that do not involve any Monsters.
Mike is two years older than Jennifer, and Jennifer is definitely the same as Sam. Both of them lose their parents, and no one in the main family takes any responsibility for them.
This is why Mike accepted this type of mission to make money.
'Who could expect I will get to meet Mike Ortho. Did he die inside the Base forest?
This could be true. Sigh, I was really curious what would happen next. Now that I think about it, if Jennifer is the same age as me, she will lose her brother around this age.
Most likely, I unintentionally changed the plot. I hope this did not bother me.
Sam considered this. He was not sure whether preventing Mike's death would change the story. He simply did not want any type of problem.
Sam decided to check his current status. He wanted to see if he had gained any Fate points. He was caught off guard right away.

The story has undoubtedly undergone significant changes. He unexpectedly received 5,000 Fate points. This indicates that he is interfering with something major.
He was aware that Jennifer was an important character. Even when she destroys the city and becomes a villain, she assists the protagonist.
She would join a secret organization with connections to supernatural forces outside the safe zone. The goal of that secret organization is to destroy the safe zone.
She joined that organisation, but she did not blindly follow those people and instead decided to assist the protagonist.
Unfortunately, she was killed by another member of the organization. You could say she became a problem for the organization. So the organization made the decision to kill her.
'I am very curious to see what changes Jennifer and Mike will face. I just hope Jennifer did not have to go through that again. She goes through a lot of pain.
Who would have thought she would be controlled by her own uncle?'
Now, thinking about Jennifer's fate after Mike's death makes him feel pitiful. At least she did not have to deal with those situations.
It is true that there will be a significant change in the main story, but Sam is unconcerned about what type of change will occur.
Looking at the status screen, he can see that in just a few days, he has significantly improved his overall power. He was even able to improve his Terran sword technique to level 3.
This increases his motivation, and he begins to look for other mutant animals.
