The meal is nothing like what Asther expected. The boy thought that he would see some common food on the table. After all, there’s no reason to prepare anything extravagant. He’s not even an honored guest in that house. He’s a prisoner and, the person who’s guarding him isn’t special as well. That’s why the luxurious looking meal didn’t makes sense to him.“Take a seat, the food will go cold if all you do is stare on it.”“Yes your honor.” Asther waited for Thomas and the maid to be seated first. It’s only after this that he decided to take a seat himself. Choosing the spot at the side right after the maid.“No. You’re sitting close to me kid.” The juror commanded.“As you wish your honor.” Asther replied, changing places with Thomas who is at the left side of the table.“Dig in everyone. I promise you that the food my maid prepares is something to die for.” The juror claimed.Thomas didn’t hesitate to take a bite. As for Asther, he looked at the food closely for two seconds. Then he
As soon as breakfast finished, Asther went back to the basement of Boreas’ house. Thomas isn’t there anymore and, the teen expected this. There must’ve been some level of humiliation brought upon Thomas because of the conversation at the dining table. That’s why this guard is not there.Asther believes that this person went out to get some fresh air. He has no idea about the hobbies of Thomas but, he’s sure that this guard would go somewhere near the walls and talk with his palls.“That would take him some time to come back from…perfect.” Asther opened the System window. He has learned to control this to an extent that, it won’t suddenly pop out without his consent.He activated the feature [Silent Mode]. Disabling any notification given by the System which allows Asther to chose the time when he wants to see these. And with Thomas not being there, the teen thought of no better opportunity to proceed with this.[Congratulations! You have successfully finished the optional quest.][10
Night soon came and, just as Asther planned, he commenced his escape from Boreas’ house. During the day, the teen offered to assist the maid in her duties. Normally this would not be allowed but, since Boreas favors the teen, this has been overlooked. Allowing Asther to do as he pleases.During his time helping the maid, he has also imprinted the details of the house in his head. He saw all the windows and all the doors. He found all the planks of wood that created a sound when stepped on. He also saw some traps that have been laid out within the house, should there be cases of anyone breaking in.By taking all of these into account, Asther is able to plan a perfect escape. And so, in less than ten minutes, the teen is out of Boreas’ house – finding himself in the middle of a night-filled street.Asther chose midnight as the starting point of his mission. During this time, all of the villagers are already sleeping. As for the guards, they won’t pose much of a problem for Asther. He ha
Asther found all the items involved in his thievery quest. It isn’t that bad because, the people he stole from are also the same individuals who stole from him in some way. Miss Gresinda who forcefully took some of the items inside his house. Mister Daniel who never paid Asther the right amount whenever he sells his harvest to this man. Then there’s an old man named Jell who is still entirely capable with the use of his head and, uses this same head to exploit the teen.Asther stole from all these individuals. In fact, he did even more than this. Using the memory of the real Asther, the assassin is able to make an estimate on how much each of these individuals owe him. And so, aside from the items that he needs to take, Asther also took valuables from his targets. All of it amounting to the estimates that he made.An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. This is another principle that the sniper lives by. If there is anyone who ever does him wrong, he will make sure that the debt is

He had breakfast with the juror and, after this, went back to the basement. Here he opened the notifications.Sure enough, there’s a list that piled up for him. This didn’t surprise Asther anymore because, he expected something like this to happen after what he just did.In fact, he was also a b
Asther dashed through the crowd of people in the blink of an eye. Along with the black mana that came out from his genesis crystal, the cloak of the teen also began to change color at that moment. Being clad in the same abyssal darkness that his crystal emitted.Along with this is a silver color for the intricate design that appeared on his cloak. The design is difficult for the bystanders to see because of the teen’s quick movement. As for Asther himself, he has no time to look at this because he needs to continue being on the run.Other than Boreas, nobody else saw Asther’s actions coming. How could they when the ominous black mana still spread around the teen. The same mana which still struck fear into them.However, this effect isn’t forever. As soon as Asther is in a considerable distance from them, the chief finally snapped back to reality. Ordering his men at that moment.“Don’t let him escape!”Asther heard this command even though he’s already far away. He could also hear the
Asther is able to get far away from the village. During the time when he killed Baron, James, and Chad, he actually ran quite the distance. Getting a good grasp of his surroundings, as well as the route he’d take when he escapes.He left markings on the trees just to make sure. Not the obvious type of course but those that can be easily dismissed as a tree’s natural scar. With this, Asther is able to get to a considerable distance away from his pursuers.He also brought some items with him for the journey ahead. Specifically, he took the rewards from when he stole from the village. Other than this, he also brought along some of the loot that came from when he assassinated some of the villagers. He used this to change his clothes because, quite frankly, he can’t use the ceremonial clothes if he goes inside a new village. This would only make him look suspicious. Especially considering that eh also has a black ceremonial cloak.But this isn’t the primary concern at that moment. Asther’
Asther didn’t take long to find monsters. In fact, he didn’t need to. The teen created a lure for the monsters of the forest – catching a few more fish and placing aromatic herbs on them. Making these seem more savory than they actually are.Soon enough, a couple of goblins arrived at the scene. Asther waited on top of a tree for them to come close. He wanted to try fighting monsters himself but, seeing as his strength stat has been greatly decreased, he thought that it would not be a wise idea. Especially considering that there might be stronger monsters that get lured in his trap.That’s why he let his creation do the work for him. He watched as the goblins came close to the fish. They looked around of course, a bit wary of their surroundings. But as soon as they saw that the coast is clear, they went straight for the savory fish – falling for Asther’s trap.The goblins stepped sharp objects on the ground. These are the poison needles that Asther created. A liquid that has worked on
