(I need to k-kiss her!?)
He stares with a blushing gaze at Syd. An idea clicks his mind.
"Wh-what are you looking at me for?!"
"N-Nothing, but hey lets get out of this forest"
"Yeahh its pretty scary in here"
(What kind of quest is this!?! Why do I have to kiss her?!)
After roaming around for a while, they finally got out of the forest and reached a market.
"Hey john, Daniel gave me this coin like thing, maybe it's the currency of this place??"
"Yeah, It is lets buy a drink im really thirsty"
They reach at a shop.
"Good afternoon sir, id like to but water"
"Yes ma'am how many bottles??"
"Tw-"
John interrupts being nervous.
"O-ONE...one only"
"But we are two people"
"W-we don't know how much money well need later and when we will find Daniel so lets save it for later."
"Whaaat...Lameeee"
She buys one water bottle only. John with a nervous smile. He Tries to execute his plan. He gets a straw.
"Ill drink first….Lets use a straw to drink"
"Yeah whatever…"
John drinks the water.
"Aww man I only got one straw and the man at the shop is not giving anymore. Would you mind drinking from it??"
"QUIT the yapping and drink it im really thirsty!!!"
In fear, John drinks with the straw and gives the bottle to Syd.
"Here your turn."
Syd without any hesitation drinks the water with straw.
(Its an indirect kiss, this should work for sure...pleaseeeeeee)
"FCK Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!"
"What the hell John!!! You scared the crap out of me."
"M-My bad"
[SIDE QUEST COMPLETED]
[As a reward, you receive the skill DAGGER MASTER]
(I got it lets go!)
John get realy excited to get another skill at level one only. Syd doesn't understand a thing and frames John as just a wierdo.
"Hey lets buy two daggers for safety!!"
"You just said we were low on money, we couldn't buy two water bottles because of that and now you want two daggers?!"
"YEAH"
"Fuck you!"
"You wish, now lets go and buy."
Syd with a slow and dim voice.
"Yeah I wish"
"Did you say something?"
"Eh, no. Lets go!"
With a confused manner he leaves and Syd follows him. Soon they reach the dagger shop.
"Btw, you still haven't told me about your skill yet…"
"Ohh...its…..DAGGER MASTER too"
(I don't want her to know about the COPY skill)
"OH REALLY?! Its same as mine huh?"
"Yerp it is. Anyways we are here, The dagger shop."
"Yeah…..thank god the language here is same as back in our world."
"Yeahh"
They enter the shop its full of authentic swords, staffs, axes and daggers. They search for many daggers and none of them suited their taste. Then they see two daggers, one was red and another was normal but both were looking good.
"Ill take the red one John, you can take the normal one"
"Whaat….alright!!!"
(Thank god she took the red one. Of course that looks more powerful as it has a lot of mana but.....mine is an ARTIFACT. In SCR 'Seven Commanders of the Ring' , the weapons which were once used by Gods and the Commanders are known as artifacts and this dagger right here was used by Daniel, the seventh commander himself.)
They buy the daggers and they are broke now but John knew how to make money.
"So now that we have daggers, we can actually start taking quests for Monster Hunting at the Guild's association."
"But why are we doing this, shouldn't we think about going home???"
"We need money to survive right now and we don't exactly know a way to get out of this place, well find a way and make our way out of this place but first our main priority is food."
(I wish Daniel's alright)
Meanwhile Daniel is cornered by other six commanders who are trying to execute him. Daniel tries to make his way out using Black Flames imbued in his sword. He attacks the commanders but it's a six versus one. Daniel gets overwhelmed by their strength but doesn't stop, he tries again and gets stabbed by the Soul Spear again and his hand gets cut off. But it doesn't regenerate.
"So this is how it ends huh?"
(My vision is getting blurry, if only I….wait I'm not dead yet. As long as im alive I can kill them and take my revenge!!!)
"VEIL OF THE SEVENTH COMMANDER!"
A black barrier type veil appears and they all get trapped in it. The six commanders start burning because of his black flames. It was a beautiful sight for him. But not for too long and they all break out of his veil after a while. As they all are injured, Daniel takes the chance and runs away. He opens a portal and runs away.
(Ill kill them no matter what ill take them down. Not one-by-one but at the same time. Ill avenge my sister!!!)
John takes a long breath.
(I shouldn't be worried about him I guess, He is the strongest commander after all)
Daniel, after escaping, looks at his injuries. Too fatal to ignore. These were given by the Soul spear after all it was a small spear that not only hit the subject but its regen mana pool. He starts meditating and it helps to regenerate his mana pool and he starts to heal.
