Chapter 26: Jackpot

[Leader of the red velvet mercenary group

Name: Velvet Airis

Title: Mercenary queen, Cold-blooded killer, Martial genius

Traits: Dominant, Sadistic, Power Hungry

Weapon: Sword]

“This is a very strange sword intent im not feeling any sort of chi only mana,” Velvet Airis a figure shrouded in red was happily enjoying the scenery left by Morris’s attack. Soon after, a masked man appeared behind her immediately crouching in her presence

“Ma’am we’re finished with the mission’s requirements… There are no casualties with our squadron and we can move whenever you gave your orders,” The man said while she continued to glare at the gigantic cut

“Tell me what do you see in the direction that I’m looking at?” Airis asked for the opinion of her subject which he casually replies to her simple question with an honest answer

“It looks like an incredible rock formation for a mere underground ruin… I’m sorry if I didnt meet your expectations this is the only thing that my eye had discerned,” The man said while she stayed silent and waved her hand up and down. This gesture of hers told him to gather everyone and move after their successful mission

‘Every cut that’s applied on these stones is filled to the brim with mana, the cracks in the floor, make me envision an all-out clash. Pure skills and wits, and lastly the ruins with not a single drop of human blood. This only reassures me that he’s here, Spell thief, a player that’s being eyed by the countless power-hungry guilds. However, it seems that he has no such desire to join the hands of anyone. He completely rid this place of his mana, im impressed that his this cautious Hehehehe, Spell thief, I wonder what you’re doing,’

While the leader mercenary group was deeply absorbed in the ruins where she reminisced about the battle with the use of her mind. On the other hand, the player she desires to find was currently inside a tavern along with his team. He drank a ton of alcohol like there was no tomorrow and yet he hasn’t fallen to the effect of the alcohol

“Tavern keeper, I need a refill!!! My booze is about to go empty,” In a single sitting he gulped down a glass of wine, and soon the counter was filled with a ton of empty mugs. He kept on drinking as soon as he recovered from the punch he received from none other than Esther

‘Nothing like some good-tasting booze after a long day of potentially dying in the world that I created. This would’ve been the perfect place if it weren’t for these fools, seriously why the fuck are they here!!? Deep breathes Morris, you must remain your cool just breathe don’t even think about your kids,’

“You want some soothing herbal tea, Mr. Morris? It might help you once your body feels a little dizzy,” Blake prepared a cup of his handmade tea at a temperature that anyone can easily drink

“Thank you for the tea, I was hoping you would’ve asked me… I can understand why Blake’s here, the only thing I can’t understand is the presence of these uninvited guests. Do I need to call you out? State your business before I get bored and completely ignore you,” He sees through the disguise of Hugo and the rest of his characters that were hiding in plain sight

When they were called out by the person they were trying to observe, they revealed their identities. Kyo and Esther remained expressionless in their presence, while Blake was shocked and falls to the ground. He looks like a complete fool before he was given a hand by that came from Morris that slowly raises him back to his feet. When he finally balances his footing he goes back to his seat and remains silent whilst Hugo was surprised by his awareness

“How long have you noticed?” Hugo asked

“By the time we entered this place, I already told you our deal’s off… You’ve met with your team and I’ve found mine,” He replied whilst his eyes met with his main character

“Wait, what about me where am I going?” Blake got his back patted by Morris which made it clear they were on his side

“You’re with us, they’ll eventually kick you out of their team. Haven’t you seen it for yourself all of them are damaged dealers, and their formation is aggressive. Placing support will only hinder their movements, so they’ll eventually ask you to leave,” The four of them were stunned by his analysis even though he hasn’t seen them in battle

[So this is where you stop meddling with the future? I thought you would’ve played this whole charade for a longer period. I guess you also have something apart from your mission as a seer]

“Didn’t you say you’ll help us?” Hugo whilst he casually takes a seat near his father

‘Like father like son his currently not picking a class. You might be wondering why I haven’t picked my class even though I’ve exceeded the requirements. It’s because of skill synergy just like Netharus the person who owns the necklace I used before. That necklace contained [Magic edge] if you combine Mana application with swordsmanship giving birth to [Magic edge],’

“I think you’re confused about the word help and annoying a person… I told you that I’ll help you when you need it the most,” He gulped down another glass of beer while he sees Hugo leave along with his team

‘Finally, they’re gone, I can get some rest… If Hugo looked after the three of them, I can rest assured that I fulfilled my duty. Let’s hope that I can rest for a day or two im not asking for anything in return. I only wish they’ll grow without the aid of their parent (Author) I don’t want them to be dependent on me,’ CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

By the time he noticed how late it was Kyo and Esther couldn’t keep up with his energy he took the three back to their Inn. Once he was finished he takes off and returned to the tavern unaffected by the alcohol where he goes back to his seat. He noticed that a couple of men were close to his spot, minding their own business whilst he ordered a ton of alcohol to drown his pent-up stress. However, he heard some gossip among the players that piqued his interest

“Hey, do you think our boss is after Spell thief,” The player said while Morris walks near them pretending to be a drunkard? Without any hesitation, they point their blades to scare him away

“Hello, their homie’s mind If I hic, take a seat here? You wouldn’t notice me, I just wanted some company, my friend, just recently passed… We couldn’t even bury him,” Morris cast a basic spell that made him procure a tiny bit of water in his eyes which resulted in some tears. He made his voice sound pathetic making his acting believable

“No, no, let him stay this guy ain’t even sober, look at him, he’s a complete wreck…! Let him stay we’ve been in this kind of situation as well,” The player said while they welcomed him with a mug full of alcohol

‘Free beer!!! This is the best, not only did I fool these players I even got myself, some beer!!! Nothing makes a beer taste wonderful when it’s given to you for free,’

The players chat until all of them were completely wrecked by the alcohol which made their words harder to understand and as the last player fell asleep, Morris had enough

“Now, back on topic, we’ll scout the area later when our boss gives the order. I heard she’s obsessed when she finds a new toy. Don’t you dare forget what we all talked about for our boss, Velvet Airis,” The player said while most of his team was drunk

[Let’s go they’re not moving I think it’s safe to assume that they’re asleep]

“You’re right im tired of this whole charade,” Morris walked towards the exit after he paid for his alcohol

He encountered a beautiful red-haired beauty on his way to the exit that was close to his real age. Their eyes met and the two of them couldn’t avert their gaze which lasted more than thirty seconds. He took the initiative and brushed away his glances after he collected his thoughts and exit the tavern. With his remaining energy, he strolled the cold and dark streets where he recalled the time of his arrival in the world of trials

[What’s so funny, you’re grinning like a madman have you lost your sanity?]

“Nothing I just remembered that I came a long way to get where I am… I remember walking in the cold and dark street with my heart racing… I was scared that I might stumble upon a thief or a drunkard, at that time I never thought that I can even move properly,” He continued to walk until he reaches his Inn

‘What a strange, black-haired boy I never thought anyone would look directly into my eyes. I remember that it can mentally affect those who are weaker than me, yet he looked directly into my eyes without even blinking. He didn’t show a hint of fear in his eyes, too bad I can’t make him my toy if only he was Spell thief,’

Arriving at his room he checked on his teammates before he head into his room closing it, as he retrieved an item from his bag

[Quadrex loot box – a box that contains an item that’s related to the Quadrex]

“Everything’s in place I never thought that I would’ve gained a ton of tokens in that broadcasting gave me 300. This increased my tokens to 1,175, to think most of the tokens I’ve earned in my commissions will be used to buy this,” He grabbed a scroll from his inventory

[Rate up scroll x10 – One scroll can increase the player’s luck by 10 percent]

[Youre going to use it? Isn’t that expensive I remember you spend more than 2k gathering 10 of them]

“You’re right about that Kyo and Esther spend their tokens, on their equipment making them have higher chances of surviving. I’m fine with the black robe that gives me 10 mp, these items will get more expensive. It’s best to buy them as earlier as you can get,” He rips every scroll that immediately activates their effects

[System: Your luck has increased by 100 this stack will disappear after you opened a loot box]

It shined throughout his room due to the increase in his increased luck. This change resulted in the randomized selection of the box going out of control. When he opened his eyes he sees a pair of cats thats sitting on the top of his bed

“A cat? Theirs two of them what gives….?” A message appeared before him that shows the true worth of these creatures

[System: You’ve acquired the two bundle packages familiar/homunculus Sun and Moon. A creature that’s mixed with various types of magical beasts ultimately leading its final form into a pair of cats]
