2024-10-29 19:42:56Finally, Sean felt safe for the first time since he's been in this game. There is a place that they are in, Sean looked around and realised it has lots of dirt in it. After a little clearing work on the underground hideout, Sean felt tired.
Lyla still had her guard up, listening carefully and inspecting their surroundings, after making sure that there was no intruder, she stopped and settled down. She stole glances at Sean and asked him
"You did a great job out there, what were you doing before the devil came?"
"I… uhm…I was a wrestler"
"Wrestler? You don't look like one"
Lyla looked at Sean all over again and confirmed that he just looked like a normal man. Except for his tough skin and a few bruises that he's got on his body which he got through labour, he's just a normal man.
"Yeah, I just started training and I never won a fight against my colleagues"
In this underground hideout, there is only one bed and one sofa which clearly Lyla must have seen in the building before moving them to the underground.
Lyla remade the bed and sat on it. Although it's still dirty, it's a little cleaner than it was.
"The best way to keep devils away is dirts and dusts, they attack any places found clean"
Lyla's eyes never left Sean and Sean notice that. It make him feel awkward and he made sure while sitting down, he never made eye contact with Lyla.
Lyla, although was the one who volunteered to bring Sean to her hideout, she is getting suspicious for some reason.
Sean tried his best in neglecting her but she soon stopped him
"I'm sorry, I do suspect anybody I brought to my hideout. You are not the first, some of those I've brought here, they steal my food and weapon and run away, some died. So I can't let down my guard no matter who's with me"
"I understand you, that's the best way to be safe in this apocalypse. The guy who was robbing you, I've met him earlier today, he offered me his home but I didn't trust him so I stayed in that building"
"The point is, I can only let you spend the night here with me and I'll feed you and treat you but you'll have to leave before nightfall tomorrow "
"Thank you"
Sean wasn't looking for a safe abode either. He just needed to kill a devil general and he was done with this. Although he wanted more information about this world from Lyla, he felt like this was not the right time.
Although this was a game, the NPCs seem to have the mind of a man. If Sean make any suspicious move or says anything out of the world, the aftermath won't be good.
Lyla gave Sean a box of medicine to treat himself which he took. While applying medication on himself, Lyla went to another corner of the room and cleaned up herself and her bruises.
When Sean finished applying medication on himself, he tested on the sofa, feeling very tired. He shut his eyelid as darkness filled his vision and with every breath he took, he recovered his stamina, and he had some rest.
He was mentally tired though
His brain has seen and done things that he never thought would do in his whole life; he killed his first man today.
Right, it was an NPC but it felt so real, especially when there are blood stains on his hands and clothes.
His head aches as he is remembering those awful things and it takes him a while before he can fall asleep.
********************************
"it would have been better if his majesty haven't know about him"
Liu was now getting emotional, the girl was innocent yet she drove herself to her grave despite his warnings
"She his not going to die"
Liu's father does not know what other way to console his son and stop him from feeling guilty but he does know that Trina is not going to die.
He wasn't sure but through his magic, he can still feel the sign of life from Trina
Trina's body kept absorbing the yin and yang energy from the concoction the same way her authorization is succeeding. Her eyes were blank and the only thing she could see were the messages fein the system

Trina while being unconscious read all the words in her vision then she sneezed and opened her eyes.
Liu and his father heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Trina sneeze.
Liu instantly pulled her out of the bathtub and bugged her with lots of questions like 'are you okay, did you feel anything bad, what was happening to you?'.
Although he didn't get any answer from Trina, he still changed his words too 'thank goodness you survived, I was afraid, I was alone, I was…"
"Enough Liu, you will make her pass out again with your bugging words" Liu father's stopped him
Trina felt dizzy when she opened her eyes and she couldn't see anything clearly. She rubbed her eyes over and over and when her vision was cleared, she felt the rest of her body. She felt the toughness of her skin and her nimbleness. She knew all this were the effects of the concoction, especially the part of the earned skill which she thinks she should keep a secret
"Master…The concoction is good"
Trina commented after feeling the new strength that her body developed through the tempering from the aquarius leaf
"we don't think it is, it took the whole concoction and the aquarius leaf to save you" Liu out of fear denied the fact that the concoction is good. He knew his father have to believe the same or height just force them into finding more aquarius leaf and make more concoctions
"Does the concoction have any effect on your body?"
Liu's father asked with a little hope that something different happened
"yes master, my body seems to be harder and i think I have some immunities to fire and ice cause I can't feel any heat eom the one right now"
"are you joking" perplexed, Liu asked
"are you saying you earned a yin yang skill" Liu's father asked in excitement, he have always known that the aquarius leaf is capable of tempering the body at giving the body immunities for ice but now, yang energy is added
"I don't know what a yin yang skill is…" Trin intentionally denied, she can't blow up her cover too soon and expose the existence of the system to the NPCs
Out of excitement of accomplishment, lius father took Trina out of the cottage to where the firewood is
"Come on here, let's test it out. Lit the fire"
Trina looked at the fire wood again, the fire has been put out by water and the sticks are wet. She does not know how real this skills are but she just have to do what her master wants
"Uhmm, I'm not a magician yet so maybe I do know how this is to be done. I might have the skill, but I don't know how to use it yet. I need your teachings master"
Trina tried to make things go south but Liu's father has made up hisind to know whether Trina earned a skill or not.
"There is no teaching in magic ones foy hat the skill, just will it on your mind and lt will be done"
Trina after wrestling with herself whether she should do it or not finally stretched out her hands at the firewood with the will to burn it; instantly, fire shot out from his hands and hit the firewood and it burned.
"this is great, you will make a good guardian" Liu's father concluded
" Hey, I'm happy for you. Anyway, we go night guarding tonight together"
"sure"
Trina was , she just did something out if the ordinary. Of course to Liu and his father it might be normal but to her, who'd seen magic before, she doesn't know how she is feeling right now.

The Apocalypse Saviour Opportunity
Sean was woken by the sound of movement in the room He opened his eyes to see Lyla eating some snacks at the opposite corner. She must have taken it from somewhere in this place, where she hid it. Sean closed his eyes again so he could rest his eyes a bit but the system appeared in his vision. He can see on the system that he has unread notifications. He doesn't know if he should read it now or later. Sean opened his eyes again, laying his haze on Lyla and Lyla stiffened up Food had a different value at the time of war Common snacks were expendable at normal times but at the time of war? They are a cause for fight! The same way she was almost robbed the previous night Sean have already known Lyla's intention after witnessing her suspiciousness around him "It's ok if you don't want to share, there are long days ahead got you took keep food for" Sean smiled at Lyla and Lyla let down her guard a bit.

"Of course you won't know about the devil general. These devils are more like humans, apart from their looks and their blood lust. When the war started, it was the whole devil army that came to destroy the city, after their victory, the devil may have started retreating little by little. Then there was no devil general. A soldier just took five if it's comrade and massacred a whole street, when the Devil Lord asked for reason, gr said there has to be someone that will input fear into the heart of the humans or humans will take the devils for granted. The devil Lords and King thought the idea to be a good idea so made him a general and gave him devils to control. The devils moved to somewhere else out of the city, leaving the devil general to check us. Those that were brave enough to go against the devil general, they left the city to the village, most of them got killed though. Despite the devil general just having a small number of devil soldiers in his army, no one dared cross him o

Lyla agreed with Sean and she continued talking"You are very good with the use of a dagger. Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you are strong enough?"Sean understands Lyla is asking if he is mentally prepared for the fight against the devils and he won't just get killed before the fight starts."Come on, I made this decision and I'm ready. Moreso, I've got no choice, unless I want to be trailed by devils until I die or the tribulation is over. If I'm lucky, I have to do this. Sean smiled and reassured Lyla.He didn't want to risk their plan.He had not minded fighting the devil soldiers. If it was some human soldiers or thugs, he can easily dodge them instead of going to a fight with them. But this? With the scent?It surely was a different matter entirely."Uhm, apart from being safe, is there anything we can loot from the battle? Something that can at least help us through the tribulation" Sean asked ay after thinking of what profit they can derive from the battle"You
The Apocalypse Saviour Skill
"Another skill? So skulls can be learnt from NPCs, that will be great if it's true. I'll just have to put a good impression you on the character and get the skill I want" All sort of thoughts popped up in Sean's mind and he answered "of course I do" Excluding the skills that his bounded player added to their arsenal, Sean only has one skill for himself. Although he doesn't know how powerful a skill might be, judging from the description of his skill, it must be a game changer. 'The more skills you have, the more powerful you get, especially when you start to level up your skills', he learnt that from his sister Trina. There was a time when Trina tried to teach him how to play video games with a low realism percentage but he never had time. Work, school, medical treatment, all of this used up his time. Well, he did learn about attributes, they could help supporting skills and vice versa What happened next confirmed his hypothesis After he agreed, Lyla started to explain her evadin
The Apocalypse Saviour Preparation
Sean though of the reason, he guessed that was because he was still a novice player, not experienced enough.Lyla watched his demonstrations and also imitiate have steps, it quite difficult for her to learn the skill unlike Sean who learnt it instantly with the help of the system. "Using dagger seem to be more difficult than blocking attacks" Lyla spectated, breathing heavily. "That is because attacking skills can also be used to defend, take blocking with a dagger for example" Sean explained. Lyla stopped learning for a while, sge looked at Sean as jealousy flashed through her face. "You are lucky, aren't you? You have already learnt blocking skill and you are also good with the dagger, you can just attack while defending at the same time. Guess I'm not as good as you are""Don't think that way. To be honest, I can learn things faster today because 'self defense has always been a prominent course for all yo study back at home'. You tried your best. " Sean comforted Lyla. He is n
The Apocalypse Saviour Out of the Safe
Sean with him s backpack on was like a soldier that just returned from war; he took Lyla's advise to wear all clothes because she said it will make them look scary and humans will be afraid of them. Although he had no black cloth, Lyla provided him one. Lyla already laid down her guard completely since Sean taught Heth s dagger skill, she deemed him as a friend that she can at least be safe with; someone that won't still her food but still had this little vigilance incase Sean tried betraying her. She wore a black dress that fit her petite body. The dress was so tight that it made the originally slim girl's breast and butts to shot out of cloth; with a black lip gloss and eye lashes on, Lyla looks more attractive than scary. When Sean saw Lyla in her dress, his heart race for a while, he found Lyla more attractive than when he first saw her at the robbery. He felt his heart race. Back on earth, no girl will want to associate with poor guys like him, they believe where there is no

A Fight with Nothing
I fell on the ground, rolled on it and stood up. The cut on my back healed up in a few breaths. I looked around to see if anyone was with me but I still saw nothing. I drew out my sword, using the Holy Veil's senses and sight to predict where the next attack will come fromI realized that dinse my greatest fear is Nothing, I'm fighting Nothing The sense of danger that I felt is more concentrated on my left side so I guess that is where Nothing is. With all my speed I ran there and with all my strength I swung my sword but I stopped halfway. Nothing twisted the sword, forcefully collected it and threw it away. Nothing squeezed my neck, I almost died. Nothing threw me away and I gasped for air as I landed.To kill nothing, I need to find my advantage against it or its own weakness.Nothing slashed me again as it healed up immediately. This continues for a long time and I have to endure the pain. All the cuts nothing caused on me were healed instantly, as if they were never there, exce

Every time I swing my sword, at least two of them fell There is always this small space that I always have between a fallen dog and an incoming one.
