Capítulo 27: I Want to Protect You Forever
[Ding! Goddess Teressa gives you a quest. Becoming a unique magician takes time and luck, and only the chosen one can become a unique magician. Kill twenty 1-star magical beasts, ten 2-star magical beasts, and donate 20 gold coins to Goddess Teressa orphanage in Herora city, and Goddess Teressa will make you a unique magician later.]
The corner of his lips twitched after reading the target mission.
'20 gold coins?'
He was fine with killing magical beast part, but giving 20 gold coins to the orphanage was too much for him.
It was not like he did not want to donate to the orphanage.
It was because he was penniless!
He even did not have a single copper coin in his pocket now.
'Should I steal gold coins from a bad rich man?'
A wild idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Goddess Teressa says, finish the mission, and I will let you become a unique magician later.]
"I accept this mission." He accepted the mission instantly because there was no time limit.
Sure, twenty gold coins was a lot for the current him, but he was sure he could get it in the future.
And compared to others, he believed his method of becoming a unique magician was much easier because he already knew what to do.
'It seems like I have to go to Framingburns forest tomorrow.'
He then absorbed the energy of heaven and earth into his awakening points.
[Ding! Mana Capacity: Lvl 14 -> Lvl 15]
He did not stop absorbing the energy of heaven and earth even though the sound of notification entered his ears.
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was time for dinner. At this moment, Scarlett was waiting for him in the dining room.
'Where is he?'
She had been waiting for ten minutes, but Ace still had not come to the dining room.
'I will go to his room now.'
With that idea in mind, she headed to his bedroom.
She immediately knocked on the door after arriving at his room. "Ace, it's time for dinner. Let's eat together."
Ace stopped absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and got out of his bed. "I'm coming."
The duo instantly ate together after reaching the dining room. They were sitting on the wooden chairs, facing each other.
Scarlett's face was full of smiles as she consumed her food because she could eat with Ace again.
As he was eating his meal, Ace uttered, "Scarlett, I will go to Framingburns forest tomorrow."
He decided to tell her about his plan because he believed she would be worried if he left without saying anything.
She stopped eating her meal and shifted her gaze from her food to his face, "Why do you want to go to the forest again? Have you forgotten what happened to you a few days ago?"
"Of course, I still remember it. That is why I want to go to Framingburns forest because I want to get stronger." He could not give a better answer because he did not prepare a good excuse earlier.
"If you only want to get stronger, I can order one of my subordinates to train you later." she didn't want to let him go to the forest because it was too dangerous for him.
When he was about to say something, a notification popped up.
[Ding! Scarlett is worried about your safety because you are important to her. Convince her and make her agree to let you go to Framingburns forest, and you will be rewarded with a cooking skill card.]
'Cooking skill card?'
He was happy and disappointed at the same time.
He was pleased because it was a skill card. This meant his cooking skill would not disappear after using it once.
But he was disappointed because it was not an attack or defense skill.
Sure, he had secret techniques as his trump card, but his secret move was not as deadly as it should be because his strength and agility levels were still low.
'I should not complain because no one has privilege like me.'
Even though cooking skill card could not help him defeat his enemy, but it was still a useful skill.
'Wait.'
He suddenly realized something.
'Doesn't this mean I can become a chef later?'
He found a great idea to earn twenty gold coins.
'Yes. This is a good idea. Alright, I will think about this again after returning from Framingburns forest.'
He returned his attention to Scarlett.
"I'm sorry, but I have to refuse your offer." Ace shook his head.
"Why?" she did not get it.
Anyone would have been happy if they were in his shoes because she would order her best subordinate to train him, but here, he refused without thinking twice.
"Because it's not good for my dream." He made an excuse again.
"Your dream? What is your dream?" she did not know what his dream was because she had never asked him about it before.
"My dream is to be a powerful person because, with this, I can protect you forever." He did not tell her that he wanted to be the Ruler.
"You want to be a strong person so that you can protect me forever?" Scarlett was pleasantly surprised after finding out what his dream was.
She didn't expect his dream to have anything to do with her safety.
Usually, people desired to become strong because they wanted to rule over something or rule over others, but Ace was different.
He wanted to be a strong person not for the sake of ruling others.
It was because he wanted to protect her!
He wanted to protect her from bad people forever.
Scarlett's heart suddenly pounded with happiness.
Due to how happy she was, she even did not know how to describe her feelings in words.
"Yes." He nodded his head. "You have been taking care of me and protecting me for five years. Now that I'm already an adult, it's my time to take care of you and protecting you."
Scarlett suddenly felt as if she was the happiest and luckiest woman in the world.
Sure, she knew that he cared about her a lot, but she didn't expect that her place in his heart was much more special than she thought.
His dream was even related to her safety. She was sure no one had a dream like him in this world.
Ace held her soft hands gently and looked at her lovingly. "Scarlett, you are important to me. No, to me, you are the most important person in this world, so I want to become someone who can protect you and also be someone you can rely on. You won't stop me from achieving my dream, right?"
"Yes. I won't stop you from achieving your dream. I will always support you forever." Her heart melted after hearing his words.
She was sure any woman would feel the same if they were in her shoes because what he did was for the sake of achieving his dream, and his dream was to protect her.
"Does that mean you will let me go to Framingburns forest tomorrow?" even though he already knew the answer, but he still asked that question because he wanted to hear the answer from her mouth directly.
"Yes." Scarlett nodded her head. "I will let you go to Framingburns forest tomorrow."
"Thank you, Scarlett." happiness danced within him.
'As expected, my grandpa is the best!'
He praised his grandfather in his head because his grandfather had taught him a lot about women, including how to win their hearts.
'Hmm? Why doesn't the system give me a quest reward?'
He was stunned because the system still did not give him the reward.
Scarlett said she would not stop him from going to the Framingburns forest, so he was shocked when the system still did not reward him.
'Does that mean she still doesn't completely agree?'
That was the question that appeared in his mind.
"Ace, come to my room in twenty minutes." Scarlett uttered.
"Alright." Even though he did not know what she had in mind, he agreed instantly.
He returned to his room after eating. To his surprise, a notification suddenly popped up after stepping into his bedroom.
[Goddess of MILF is paying attention to you.]
'What?! There is Goddess of MILF?!'
He was shocked when he saw the notification.
'Is it because Scarlett is MILF?'
That was the question that appeared in his mind.
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, twenty minutes had passed since he had finished having dinner with Scarlett.
Ace was currently heading to her room because she told him to go to her room earlier.
"Scarlett, it's me, Ace." He said as he knocked on the door.
"Come in. The door is not locked." Scarlett's charming voice rang out from the opposite side of the door.
*Click…
Ace opened the door.
'???'
The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face after opening the door.
