Heli was surprised after hearing that, and then replied softly, ''Do you remember anything regarding your death?''
''l....l., don't have any clue about that'', Stefan replied, stammering.
''lt's okay host. You will naturally remember it after your consciousness becomes strong enough to withstand those memories''.
Sure enough, Stefan felt better after hearing that. 'l still have time..., but l should start cultivating both magic and chaotic power, to catch up with everyone', he thought.
''By the way, host. Do you have ice cream with you?'', Heli looked towards Stefan, expectation evident in his voice.
''Yeah, maybe, l still have some boxes left. Let me go quickly and bring it''.
The sudden mention of ice cream caught Li's attention. ''Brother, is that something to eat?''.
Before Stefan could reply to him, Heli cut him off into it, ''Yes, and l also heard it is very tasty. It also comes in different flavors. My mouth waters at the thought of it''.
Just hearing about the description, Li~ got greedy. It just so happens that Stefan came back from the kitchen, with three bowls and three spoons. Each bowl contained the same three different flavors that included vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.
Stefan put the tray on the table and gave one bowl to both of them, saying, ''Try it''.
''Hm~~~ it really is as delicious as told in the modern world'', Heli exclaimed in extreme delight. After taking three bites in succession, he asked Stefan if there were more flavors of ice cream.
Stefan replied positively and introduced various other flavors that included mocha, butterscotch, pista, choco chips, matcha, and tea berry.
''WOW!!! Brother, can Aouli also eat them?'', Li~ interjected in their conversation.
''Of course, Li~ can eat it!''.
Before Heli could continue to ask for more ice cream, his time was up, and he disappeared in front of them.
Aouli got scared by his sudden disappearance and tightly held Stefan's sleeve nervously while looking here and there.
Stefan told him not to be scared and that it was Heli's magic power. Aouli admired Heli's power to disappear anytime or anywhere and started rubbing his eyes.
''ls Li~ feeling sleepy?'', Stefan asked gently.
Aouli nodded his head and before long his eyelids started sticking together. Stefan carried Li in his arms and walked to his bedroom. After entering the bedroom, Stefan put Li gently on the bed and patted his back. Gradually, Li fell into a deep sleep.
Stefan got up and started sorting out all the materials and arranging them. Only after the space bracelet was empty did he remember that he forgot to purchase soup and shampoo. He firmly believed that there would be no showering gel in this era.
''Forget it..., l may still have some stock left. It should be possible to use it for some time'', he thought and said.
''Heli are you there?'', Stefan asked, finding Heli's silence a little odd.
There was no reply. Stefan was worried about Heli's disappearance.
He tried calling Heli for another ten minutes and decided to leave it. Maybe Heli also needs to sleep, just like a human being.
Stefan switched off the lights in every room and switched on the lamp present on the bedside table. He was worried that Li will get scared when he opens his eyes and sees total darkness.
After doing all this, he hugged Li and dozed off.
....
''My supplies are almost going to run out'', said a girlish voice in a cave, where a fire was being burned, in a frustrated manner.
She was counting all the materials left with her. She found some bandages from the pile and started bandaging herself with some difficulty.
After some time, she started thinking about the abnormal behavior of the monsters. 'Why did it seem that the deeper l go inside the forest, the denser the monsters?, is there something with me that is attracting those monsters to me?'
No matter what, l still have to continue my journey. Grandpa Eisten is injured and he needs that herb. That herb can help Grandpa heal from those inner injuries. Although we all have basic talent in healing power, it still won't work if our mana gets exhausted.
It's all because of that C- level. If it hadn't appeared suddenly at an unexpected place and time, Grandpa wouldn't have gotten injured to protect everyone.
The rims of her eyes got red, whenever she thought of her grandpa who always smiled warmly, suffering painfully.
She has to get that herb, even at the cost of her life. 'I am only a Level-2 mage and can't help him at all', she thought bitterly.
'I have enjoyed countless privileges since I was young, and it's my turn to pay for them now. Although everyone loves me, I still have to be responsible for the tribe. Today somehow I was able to escape from those monsters, but I don't think, l will be this lucky every time. I need to get stronger and quickly find the rare herb.
I was lucky that I got to know about that rare herb while I was out purchasing herbs in the mortal world. The herb is called 'Gringera'. I heard it has the ability to rejuvenate a dying person. If l can get that herb, l can help Grandpa become a few years younger, too.', she giggled at that thought. It would be great to see her grandpa becoming young and handsome again.
.....
Meanwhile, Ethan couldn't stop thinking about why William said that Stefan was both strong and weak. He couldn't understand how can someone be weak and still be strong. He was staring at the ceiling and suddenly remembered a very important question that was ignored by him unknowingly.
...
William was taking deep breaths in his room. There was cold sweat present on his forehead and his hair was scattered, while his gray eyes were confused, indicating that he had just woken up from a bad dream and was still not completely sober. His hands were clenched and he tightly held his aching chest.
Hello Bunnies. It's been a long time since I called you all that. How are you guys? Sorry for the late update, I may not be able to update tomorrow because of personal reasons.
I promise, if I am not able to update it then, I will publish two chapters or a special chapter about the ML, the day after TOMORROW.
The next morning, when Stefan woke up, he found out that Li was sprawled all over him. He chuckled and gently helped Aouli to get into a comfortable position, got out of bed, and stood up lightly. He then walked towards the bathroom to freshen up.
After about fifteen minutes he came out of the bathroom, saw the sleeping Aouli, walked towards his bed, and gave a forehead kiss to Aouli.
Stefan decided to make a simple breakfast. While making breakfast, he heard Heli's cheerful voice again.
'Good Morning, Host!!'.
'Heli!', Stefan exclaimed in excitement and asked him, ''Did something happen to you Heli?''
'No Host. Why? What happened?', Heli asked in confusion.
''Yesterday after your time was up, I tried calling you, but there was no response from your side'', Stefan informed.
'Host, It is because, although we are sent to aid you on your future path, we still respect the client's privacy. So after ten o clock at night, we will go offline and only the auxiliary system will be present, in case, of unexpected situations'.
''I see....., So, will you be joining us for breakfast?'', he asked.
'No host. I only have a time limit of ten minutes, that is why I will only join you for the dinner'.
'By the way, Host. About the quest which you were given yesterday, there is an update', said Heli.
''Oh?, What is it?'', Stefan asked curiously.
'You have got a new quest, Host!, also now, there is a time limit for the first quest'.
Stefan told, 'First tell me about the time limit and then about the new quest'.
'For the first quest, the time limit is four days. The second quest is also a side quest. You can click with your consciousness on new updates'.
Stefan clicked on the new updates button, and immediately the quest information was available to him.
[Side Quest]
Rescue the princess of Elf Kingdom.
{The princess of the Elf Kingdom 'Princess Esha' went deep into the jungle in order to find a rare and precious herb, 'Gringera'. But this is all a setup. She is being followed by dangerous monsters and a high-level assassin. Even if she is not killed by the high-level monsters in three days, the assassin will assassinate her himself}.
TASK: The host needs to rescue Princess Esha within these three days, as soon as possible. Extra points will be rewarded, after the mission completion. Following are the rewards, which the host may choose after the mission completion:
- Update the space bracelet to Level-2
- Open the system mall [may consume 10–20 pts]
- Get a chance for spinning the lottery wheel
'The rewards are quite generous! It seems that Princess Esha clearly has a high status in her kingdom'
'It's a pity that I cannot choose all of them', Stefan sighed in disappointment.
Stefan asked while warming the milk for Li, 'Heli, Will I get points every time I complete a quest?'.
'Yes, host. Points are just like money. The more points you have, the more you are in an advantageous position. It is because, the value of points, when converted into money is, one point equals ten silver coins. But, remember host, you need to use your points wisely, as it is very helpful after the system mall is opened!'
'Okay! Thank you, Heli. If you have any requests, you can ask me about today's dinner.'
'Host, I want to eat a different flavor of ice cream today!', Heli asked, reminiscing about the ice cream.
''All right'', Stefan replied while walking towards the dining table and putting today's breakfast on it.
After putting everything on the table, he walked towards the bedroom, and, nearly, collided with a half-awake Aouli. He quickly stabilized himself and carried Li to the bathroom, he taught Li how to use the modern appliances.
Li was a quick learner. He nodded obediently and started following his brothers' instructions. After he washed up, Stefan took him to sit on the dining chair and started serving him. They quickly finished their breakfast, and after drinking a glass of milk, Li wanted to play with Stefan.
Stefan took Aouli to the bedroom and sat on the bed, face-to-face with Li. He introduced him to the magic power and its various levels. He told Heli to guide Li while he was trying to cultivate.
While guiding Li, Heli discovered that a cold power was present in Li's body. It was divided into two different parts. One part tried to attack Heli and the other part quietly followed the cultivating process.
Heli was shocked and told Stefan about his discoveries. Stefan was also dumbfounded after hearing it. But after giving this a thought, he understood, that maybe Li already knew how to cultivate. It was just that, although his mind couldn't remember many things, his body still remembered them.
'Perhaps, the other power is protecting Li's body, preventing and deterring any force from entering his body. It could be that Li has some special power or talent. And to protect his safety, his parents had to leave him for some time in a random town', Stefan told Heli about his guess.
'You are right, host. That power is much stronger than Aouli. Li couldn't possibly have that kind of power. The power is comparable to a level-five magician'.
'Hm.. Let's continue our cultivation. I need to become a level-two healer before heading for the side-quest'.
.......
William was sitting dazed in the restaurant. Ethan was blabbering beside him about how William was so cruel, how he could not sleep the whole night properly due to his curiosity about Stefan.
William gave Ethan a cold glare, and Ethan wisely chose to keep his mouth shut. He knew that William was in a bad mood since he saw him.
Ethan actually did not know much about William. They were only colleagues. They met when he was heavily injured while fighting a beast, on a higher level than him. William saw his potential and bought him to the headquarters for training.
After five years of closed training, Ethan could finally leave the headquarters and go back to his hometown as an undercover agent of the organization.
There were many people like him, who came to this town to protect their loved ones after completing their training.
Actually, if he took part in the competition and won it, he would have to train for at least ten years before he could meet his family.
His train of thought was interrupted when William asked him an absurd question.
''Do you know what rfrigrator is?'', he couldn't pronounce the exact word, he spoke in the dream.
''Huh! What is that?'', Ethan asked back, confusingly.
