Hero System! Transported to Another World - Chapter 141

Alex nodded as he watched the card stop in front of the place. Alex looked at Hana who seemed to not care about what was happening. Her eyes were closed at the moment, she seemed to be thinking of something. Alex continued to stare at Hana, It was about to be night soon and the red hues from the setting set made the scene of Hana sitting in the helicopter seem very entrancing.

Alex couldn’t get his eyes off of her. He thought back to the first time he saw Hana, it was almost the same, This peerless beauty stood in front of him, not caring about the world. However, this time, the beauty seemed to have something in her mind. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she was in deep thought.

‘I’ve always wanted to know more about her but I never got to… Apparently, she had something important that’s been forcing her to follow orders from the higher ups but I’ve yet to know about that. I guess I can wait before I ask her… I think she’s just thinking about that so I feel it’s inappropriate to ask now.’ Alex said to himself as he turned his attention to the sun that was slowly setting behind the sand dunes.

‘Kid, I’d recommend you to follow as she says after you get home. Rest is of importance to you… Those 6 months, your body was active every second of it. You just don’t feel it now but you require a lot of rest and I mean a lot.’ Hades explained.

Hearing his words, Alex nodded and took a deep breath, appreciating Hana and the sunset while he could. He felt his body become more tired as well so Alex understood what Hades meant. He just wanted to sleep now.

Hana opened her eyes and turned to Alex who was occasionally glancing at her. Alex saw Hana look at him and turned away. Hana smirked and looked at the sunset. “I wish times could slow down like now… You don’t really get times like now. It might seem like life is a vast abyss of the same things repeating always but They really never repeat more than a few times… I’ve experienced riding this helicopter many times in my life but today it seems to be more special.” She smiled.

Alex nodded, he knew what Hana meant. He never thought of it before but he could relate everything he had experienced in life to what she said. “It’s true, Things don’t really repeat that many times in our lives… Especially time. Lost times never come back.” Alex smiled back at Hana.

‘Kid… I don’t know what to say but I’ve learned that you really can’t take up hints…’ Hades seemed to sigh. Hana looked at Alex and nodded, “Alex, now that you’ve relaxed a bit… Tell me, What has changed about you? I feel like many things are different compared to six months earlier. Not only your looks but something about you has changed and I can’t put my finger on it.” Hana leaned close to Alex as she asked.

Alex looked to the sky and spoke, “I really don’t know… The changed I’ve gone through seem so big yet so small… I guess I’m finding out as I go so I really can’t answer that question…”

Hearing Alex, Hana nodded. She looked at the sky as well and spoke, “I guess that makes sense…” She seemed to learn closer to Alex. Close enough for Alex to get the smell of her perfume in his nose. He didn’t know what to do but wait for something to happen.

After a few seconds, Alex felt more tired. His vision was blurry and it seemed like every time he blinked, It got fuzzier. After some time, Alex was out cold. Hana caught Alex and pulled his head on her legs and played with his long hair.

“I guess He really is the blessed… But his energies are dark, the perfect balance. It seems like meeting you was truly fate Alex…” Hana had a rare expression of joy and happiness on her face as Alex lied on her legs.

“Wha… Where am I?” Alex spoke in a raspy voice. He was no longer on the helicopter. His entire body felt lighter and he seemed to be covered in comfort. Alex opened his eyes and looked around to see a familiar place. ‘I’m back in the room?’ Alex thought to himself as he slowly stood up.

“It looks like I fell asleep in the helicopter and Hana brought me to bed…” Alex furrowed his eyes and had a look of embarrassment on his face. He looked at the mirror and yelled, “This felt more like a mother carrying her child to bed after they fell asleep on their way home…” Alex seemed to be very embarrassed.

‘Kid… I really don’t know what to say to you. But good morning… It seems like I fell asleep with you as well. I’ve never felt that before but I assume that I was also very tired after being released… It feels like some of my powers have come back but It’s too little to contribute much. Like adding a drop of water to the sea.’ Hades spoke.

After some pause, Hades continued, ‘Also, you’re lucky that she seems to have left… Or else she would have heard you yelling like a defeated kid.’ He laughed.

Alex froze when he heard Hades and walked out of the room. It was true, Hana seemed to have already left the place. Alex let out a deep breath and walked back to the mirror.

Alex nodded. He turned to look at his body and face in the mirror. ‘I’ve really changed… My hairs too long and this beard really isn’t good…’ Alex walked to the bathroom and spoke, “Hades, you tired my hair in that chamber… Can you cut it to make it slightly shorter? I like the long hair look but I want something more manageable… I’ll cut the beard myself. It seems like a beard just made me look older…”

After some time, Alex walked out of the bathroom looking like a new person. He stood tall, his hair ran to his shoulders but it was tied up in a small bun. His eyes were a crimson red color, looking extremely exotic. Alex also seemed to have gained some muscles. He looked a lot more handsome now than before.
