Level Up Family - Chapter 50

“So pwretty, Mama, look!”

“Yes, it makes my little girl looks just like a princess!”

“Hehe, Mama is just like a fwiary!

The pleasant sounds of mother and daughter sounded throughout a busy clothing store, filling its already lively scene with even more life as passing shoppers, be it, locals or travelers, looked at them with warm smiles.

Most females who shared similar sentiments when it came to shopping for clothes stared at the gorgeous mother and adorable daughter not with envy but affection, some nudging the shoulders of their partners as if urging them to get serious and give them children.

In this place, only women could find happiness, for men had a different expression, a beaten-down look filled with exhaustion as they held onto large bags of clothing with sour faces.

Marius heaved a deep sigh as he held onto a single large bag of his own while sitting down at a nearby corner with Grevlin, his eyes staring at Ria, who hurried up and down with Little Rose as if they were having a picnic in the shop.

Suddenly, an exhausted sigh sounded from his opposing side. He looked over and saw an extremely frail-looking man in his late thirties, his eyes having dark spots as if he was well-rested.

On his lap were too little lively children that jumped up and down as his wife, who walked with two grown daughters, pulled over bags that were even large than himself.

Despite being a hard bred assassin for a long period of his life, Marius felt like crying when he saw the man’s circumstances; the man picked up on Marius’s gaze, giving him a deep look of understanding and experience.

Marius wanted to say something, but as if the man’s fate had arrived, the voices of the man’s wife and daughters sounded across the area.

“Honey, we’re done here, let’s go; we can’t miss out on the next shop, after all, who knows when we’ll visit here again!”

“Father, here, these are the last items from this shop!”

Not only Marius, many other males also calmly observed the man with pity, even more so when they saw the heavy load that he had to bring.

However, as if the man was long since used to it, he didn’t show fear or cowardice; his eyes had an in-depth look like an elder teaching the other males. He rose to his feet, ensuring not to group the town children, which held firmly with his elbows.

After doing this, he then grabbed all of the bags from his wife and daughters, such to the extent that it seemed that he wouldn’t even be able to move an inch with that load.

His wife and daughters didn’t even wait on him but hurried onwards, expecting him to follow at their pace. The men looked at this in pity; some even gritted their teeth as if they could feel the pain.

Nevertheless, the man seemed to take no regard to their treatment; he lifted his head as if summoning power from the unknown, with a silent cry resonant only to man, he found it, he found power.

His muscles on his thin arms, legs, and torso bulged as his calm face pulsed with veins before returning to normal. In this instance, the man no longer seemed meek, but mighty, as he easily hoisted the bags, giving all of the men a good look before walking off into the distance, seeming no different from a hero fighting a lone war.

After watching the hero leave, Marius felt a feeling he hadn’t felt for much in the world, respect that few could ever describe with words. He sighed, not overthinking it; he was grateful that he wouldn’t have to worry about such a dangerous fate thanks to his family’s size.

Speaking of family, Marius glanced at Grevlin, who he noticed was still a bit distracted, playing with a strange box that had question marks.

‘Hmm, when did he get this?’

Marius thought as he stared at the box; he looked at Grevlin and spoke, “Son, what’s that you got there?”

Grevlin poked the box once more before he looked at his father and lifted it towards him while speaking, “Father, I get this from defeating that big lug, but I can’t open it.”

When Marius heard this, his eyes lit up when he spoke in an excited tone, “You said you got this from defeating that Mantar!”

Grevlin made a slightly embarrassed facial expression as he replied with a nod, “Mn.”

“Good! My son has finally received his first mission!”

Marius said excitedly, drawing a few eyes from others, but as no one knew what mission meant, they didn’t pay him any mind.

Grevlin felt ashamed of his father’s manner; he saw some people pointing at them and wanted to hide. However, Marius didn’t care about such things, he took the box from Grevlin’s hand, causing him to look over curiously as he inspected it.

‘I wonder if father will find anything?’

Grevlin thought while staring hopefully at his father, who had a pensive expression on his face while inspecting the box from all angles. It was a black box with question signs and strange markings, edge on certain areas with a series of square-like shapes like a Rubix Cube.

Marius frowned as he thought to himself, ‘Odd, I sense nothing from it, no energy, there isn’t even an opening. Let’s see what the [System] has to say about it. Inspect!’

Following his command, Marius, who hopefully stared at the cube, waited for a while, but there were no changes.

‘What the heck? I said in inspect!’

Marius shouted in his mind, using even more of his focus on the box; he stared at it for a good while longer, until finally, the box shivered slightly before a notification sounded in his mind.

When he saw the details, Marius face sunk as he didn’t think such a thing would occur; he stared at it intensely as he alternated his look between Grevlin and the box while he thought to himself.

‘It looks like my son has gotten his very own special treasure.’

The scene here carried a strange mood as he handed the box back to Grevlin and spoke, “Son, take care of it; I’m sure that someday it will be of great help to you.”

Grevlin stared at his father deeply, he wanted to ask more, but as his father looked away, he shifted his attention to the box, noticing that it shone with a strange light for an instant before returning to normal.

As he saw that change, Grevlin knew that the box in his hand was far more than anything he could have ever imagined. He placed it away with a surge of hope of expectation…
