'What do they want?'
%I was informed by Kala here that you saved my life.%
She said pointing at the third armored person. The silent woman that was standing guardian at the entrance of the cave. Who turned and nodded in acknowledgement, before turning back to her guard duty.
'Is it my powers?'
%I want to give you my heartfelt gratitude for not only saving my life but also mending my body back to normal health!!%
'Can they take them here? But she looks like she's trying to recruit me?'
'Welp!! She doesn't seem to mean any harm. They could have done that when I was out cold. And hearing her out is a no-go. Hmm...'
Whenever people are put in such a predicament, they tend to seek guidance from higher powers. And that's what he did...
'[Status Window]'
...he called for the most trusted higher power he knew of.
'There was a notification about a new feature or something?' He thought to himself as he rubbed his temples in a desperate attempt to clear the headache.

- Use heal on your brain if you really need a description about this feature.
(-"-;)
'That...was uncalled for.'
After he finally got a reality check, he went through the features he could buy using the gold he gets from healing humans. Turns out that he could only get this Gold from healing humans, as he didn't get any from healing monsters.
- [Calculator Lv 1]
Growth type feature that aids the user's mental math abilities. Limitless evolution the more used. {Passive} {5 Gold}
'Ooh! Passive too? That's cool!'
- [System Themes] ...
'Trash. Scroll.'
- [Camera]
Does what any camera does. {Active} {5 Gold}
'That's curt.'
He kept scrolling down until he finally reached the double digits. All the while the girl kept saying some nonsensical vocabulary.
%Blah-Blah-Blah-Blah%

Growth type feature that saves and identifies languages of ancient civilizations with enough samples provided. {Active} {50 Gold}

'Makes sense.' Kevin commented as he saw the price tag. He kept mentally scrolling the interface until he found a feature that he immediately needed.

- [Real-time-Auto-Translation]
Translates any language into the user's mother tongue in real time with no delay or whatsoever.
'WOW talk about hitting the jackpot!!'
{Passive}
'And it's a passive one at that!?!?'
{155 Gold}
"HAAAAAAA!?!?!?"
'What the hell!!? This damn thing is gonna rip me off off-the-bat? Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all! Well...here goes nothing.'
'Buy.'
And just like that, he was dirt poor again. He lost consciousness to get that Gold. And he doubted that things would go this good next time he faints.
He couldn't trust anyone after all.
SIGH~ x2
"It's no use. It's obvious he's not getting what you are saying. Just leave him be. We're already vulnerable as it is. We don't need any more threats." The man spoke again.
"What do you mean?" The girl asked narrowing her eyes, not liking where the conversation was going.
"He might not know what we're saying. He might be pretending not to know and is waiting for the opportune moment. Who knows?" He replied while shrugging.
"So?"
"So, if we can't be sure he's an ally...let's assume the otherwise and... You know. Unalive him." The man shrugged casually, as if he was talking about some trivial matter like the weather. Kevin's brow twitched as he caught the last sentence.
'Wait a minute. Let's back track a bit.'
He heals their leader. They kidnap and trap him. They took away his weapons. They find out that he couldn't speak their language. So they decide to kill him??
ಠಿ_ಠ
'There's much to be said about such a line of thought.'
The girl looked back at the boy. Seeming conflicted. Conflicted about the need to kill her savior/ an innocent bystander/ the most capable healer she'd ever met.
Which is... understandable?
She then approached him slowly, not to frighten him again. And then looked him straight in the eyes and then put a hand on her chest and called out,
"Isabella. Isabella"
'Oooh!~ Hi there Bella!'
It was humiliating quite frankly. To be talked to like you were an ape. But now that he took a closer look at the beauty in front of him, he let it all go.
She had electric blue eyes that went well with her pale complexion. Her silky black hair was cut short before reaching her shoulders, likely out of need. And her plump lips made one think of themselves as a lowly lolicon. That's how attractive the little girl was.
'Given a couple of years, she'll turn heads wherever she goes. Or give them. Who knows how this world works?' Kevin thought to himself as he shrugged.
"You?" The girl said while pointing at him.
"Name?" She asked.
'Name...huh? Well I won't be using my real name since it was _them_ that tied it over my neck. And I can't use the name displayed on the interface recklessly. Hmm...'
"Sudo." Thinking back to the most recent thing he was doing before all the mess, the Yunix command was the only thing he remembered.
"Sudo." The girl repeated as if trying to commit the name to memory.
"The hell? Now that's a whack name if I ever heard of one." The man said as snickered at the foreign name.
"You. Name." Sudo pointed at the man.
"Would you look at that! It speaks!!" The man kept snickering.
"Galahad." Isabella replied in the man's stead.
"Galahad." Sudo repeated. To which the girl nodded. Sudo gave the man one last look and gave a cheerful smile.
'You die by my hands, Gal.'
