AGED

Danger

"There is seven continent in total and you are at the fifth continent. They don't have a grand name or complicated title but simply called by numbers like the seat of the round table. It's not that easy to travel from continent to continent but I know you'll manage." Eucrid pats Leon's back like an old father to his prodigal son. 

Leon decided to heed the old man's request and now was being told of the things he needed to know. Eucrid didn't ask why he doesn't know such basic thing but instead given him many things...one of them is the classic black strap watch that he just gave. Leon tried to inspect it but changes his mind which he regrets. As soon as he put it in his skin, he felt a small prick in his wrist and he quickly try to pull it out of his arm but Eucrid stopped him.

"Don't be scared Leon! It's just scanning your molecular structure and registering you into the server cough! cough!" Leon paused when he heard that Eucrid cough and with it in his mouth, blood is flowing which automatically made Lanie panic and administer first aid. But Leon thinks it's a peculiar way of administering first aid but he focused instead to the watch with blinking red that is flowing like a loading bar in old school games. 

"Mint, are you there?" Without looking, Eucrid that is lying down while holding a glass in his hand and sipping to the attached metal straw and there is evident green glow that is going inside his body that made Leon rub his eyes for he doubt it is normal. 

The watch trembles before it went all green then settled in. Leon was about to remove it again when a voice came out of it that makes the man started to unlatch the watch while the voice protested. 

"Now child! If you wanted to get caught and sentence with a crime of being an illegal immigrant then continue what you are doing right now. Or you could be a good child and let it rest there so that I could help your sorry ass in time of need." Leon puffed some air before he looks at Eucrid that has a round eyes and O shaped lips upon hearing the bickering of these two people. 

"Leon, Mint is right. You needed her to get by and safely go and return here. I'm sorry for pushing this kind of burden towards you but I forgot to make an appointment to the hospital and in my present condition, I wouldn't be able to fetch it my own. Mint has the map and the directions so if you have questions then you should coordinate with her and get well with one another. This might be a good way to bridge good relations between the both of you."  Hearing that Leon's face soured and a noise of a puking woman made Eucrid laugh. 

"Thank you Leon for imploring this old man's request. I will take this as a lifetime debt and will always remember this moment---

"Alright I got it. Mint knows everything already right? Then we will be going! Geez Eucrid..." He grumbled in his breaths which Eucrid laugh at. Lanie and Louie bowed towards Leon and Eucrid waved his hand before Leon thought of going to the door but a sudden disturbance and shift in the air made him alert. He only went relax when the next thing his eyes blinks, Leon saw the same backyard now, with no traces of Eucrid's blood or the fight that had gone in it days ago. 

"Aren't I amazing Leon? Hehe!" Leon wants to disagree but yes, Mint is amazing for being able to do such thing. Instant teleportation is rare or maybe isn't not yet developed in Earthex but what Leon could know about the things alike? Inside the gate, portals and teleportation is an ability of some race and he even know how to do it too. 

"What are we going to do now Mint?" Leon inquired before he started walking. There is a blinking red on the green radar. 

"Why don't you do that teleportation to the place that we need to go? That would be really helpful." But silence answered Leon who looked at the watch after they went out of the vicinity of Eucrid's house. 

"Mint?" But after many calls, Leon gave up and let the annoying AI to mind her own business. He felt so furious for even asking for help and went on by foot when he realize that he haven't check his status yet after that one time at the bathroom before he went to slumber for a good couple of days. 

Since Mint is nowhere to be found, he tried to summon his status window and it answers his call. 

『:Status Window:

Name: Leon Thournefield >The Devourer<

Lv:????

Condition: Annoyed. No critical defects found.

Penalty: 1184 years until the start to age.』

Leon's eyes twitches before it went back to normal and he went to summon his >spacial storage<. He smiles from being victorious and scanned the contents of his inventory. There is a lot of different rocks and materials. Before Leon thought that there are valuable things that he could get and show the people he left here at Earth but all of the minerals, treasures and jewels just collected dust in his storage and now he lost the excitement from showing it to others. Upon scanning his storage he accidentally saw the >cape of the wanderer< which can make his presence dull and his appearance blurry. Leon look at his own clothes and then the cape of the wanderer. It wasn't much of a difference and the trend might be quite a mixture of two opposite things but before he pulled it, he asked Mint. 

"Mint are you there?" Leon already walked quite a distant from Eucrid's house and still, Mint is not responding to him. Because of this, he just shrug it out and pulled the cape to wear. It covers his skin and the size is perfect enough to his height. He caresses the fabric and although it looks like a used potato sack, the surface were soft as cotton. Leon nodded before he continued to walk.

After hours of working nonstop, Leon felt a little peckish and will check the watch by clicking the two buttons on the side. At first there is no reaction but after he click both buttons, the watch went on and he saw a beautiful lady smiling at him. 

"I'm beautiful right? Hehe", but Leon didn't answers and instead his eyes were looking at the large river that he needed to swim from. Mint looked at the direction and seeing her, Leon feels like her eyes from the watch could pierce beyond it and see the wide river that eventually will make him wet but Leon extracted from the thought when Mint chuckled. 

"Hehe, that's easy. Want me to help? Ehhh don't think! I will help you!" A few cranks and mechanical sound can be heard coming from the watch before a capsule size object materialized. Leon hold the capsule and then the glowing of the watch stopped.

"I'm mighty right? Who are you arguing with now? Hehehe!" Mint said with angst but Leon's focus was on the capsule with visible case. He put it closer to his eyes and look what inside. He shook it a little and the object inside shook as well. Mint grumbled and Leon showed it to his watch. 

"Now tell me what to do with this before I will do it my way and all your boasting will go to dust." 

"You tricky little snake! Just throw it to the ground where you will be using the equipment! If only Eucrid didn't beg me, I will not really go on with a travel with you!!!" Leon answered her yell of vindiction towards him with a smile before he proceeded on throwing the capsule on an open surface where the current is not that strong. Smokes appeared and a loud bang made splashes on the water before it settled and a shining brand new jetski appeared in Leon's face. 

"Woah..." That's the only word that came out of his mouth before getting on the jetski and tried it. 

"Look at this, he asked for help and then when he got his thing he forgot to say his gratitude. The old text is right! Kids don't feel gratified towards others! Tsk tsk! Why did I even help."Mint is murmuring alone while Leon's focus was on the jetski but he is aware of Mint's rambling. Leon went closer to the jetski and figure out the engine of it. There is not much of button to check because Leon suspects that the sole button at the middle of the vehicle. He wanted to try and ask Mint first but she is still occupied by her dissatisfaction. 

"This goes nothing...WOAAHOHOHOHOOOOOO!" 

"AAAAAH YOU BRAAAAAAT!!!" Mint protested after Leon push the button and the jetski burst a mile that made them cross the river in an instant.
