Ding!

[Calculating EXP Earned…]

[Your Familiars have earned a large quantity of EXP!]

[Naturia] [Ignatius] [Beelzebub] [Curse] [Furoh] [Glutton] [Sapphire] and [Scarlet] Levels have increased from Level 13 to Level 28!]

[The [Quest System] has been improved!]

[You can now give Quests to those that possess a System created by a System Seed.]

[Additionally, some Skills that couldnʼt Level Up before can now be given Levels.]

[This includes [Royal Elven Lineage], [Hero Seed], and [Divine Protection]

”I-I can give Quests now?!” I asked in shock. ”Huh, now this is interesting… Well, my Familiars are the only ones with a System so Iʼll have to think about how I do this.”

”Well, it is not as if you can control it, Quests will naturally pop up on anybody that you allow to attain Quests.” Said Alice. ”But bear in mind that the same amount of Casualty is spent, and once you spent too much, you wonʼt be able to get quests in a while.”

”Oh, is this why I couldnʼt get one?” I wondered.

”Something like that, when the invasion happened, you had spent all of this energy provoked by changing fate and casualty, so there were no quests. However, now that youʼve changed fate once more, youʼve accumulated a large surplus.” Alice said.

”I see! Wait, I get it now, so the reason why I donʼt get many quests when I am by myself but get tons of well rewarding ones when Iʼm doing a favor to someone else is because of this?” I asked.

”Indeed. Due to all the nice things youʼve done for everyone, there was a period where you got an enormous surplus of quests, this also increases when fighting powerful foes related with the fate of the world.” Alice explained.

”So thatʼs how it works.” I nodded. ”Now, about these three new Skills I can level up… I thought it would never be possible. You said they were not originally made to be capable of leveling up at all, didnʼt you?”

”Yeah, there are certain skills that even in the ”normal” system, they cannot level up, they act like passive abilities that cannot develop nor grow and stay as they are, sometimes because they represent something you already possess.” Alice explained. ”However, with the new improvements, Iʼve made something impossible for normal systems possible for us. Things such as Hero Seed and Divine Protection, which are powers directly tied with the Gods can now be improved and strengthened, and also become your own power instead of something borrowed or bestowed by them.”

”Interesting…” I nodded while rubbing my chin. ”Well, we can check that out later, for now, I really want to go see everyone downstairs, and also eat something…”

I quickly decided to take a quick shower and once I was all dressed, I ran downstairs. I heard the voice of Arafunn and Ninhursag talking with my parents, so I wanted to hear what exactly happened yesterday.

”I-Is this really true?!” My mother cried. ”To think that… He would do this…”

”So we werenʼt wrong… At the end…” My father sighed, looking dispirited. ”I was hoping he wasnʼt doing these things for such vile purposes. Hell, I was even hoping he would leave us out of this… I assumed wrong.”

”Hmph, I never trusted Gray.” Shade crossed his arms. ”That bastard had merely showed his true colors now… I always told you that he was suspicious, that he wasnʼt like us. That he wasnʼt… like me. Because I was able to change, it doesnʼt mean everyone can. Some people remain as they are or become worse.”

”Shade, how can you say that when you were one of his first friends?!” Nepheline reprimanded her husband. ”Are you just dismissing all the bonds you created together now?! All the battles you went through? He was like… your little brother.”

Shade remained in silence, before speaking again.

”Itʼs just how itʼs gonna be now.” He said. ”He almost killed Arafunn… And he aimed for Faylenʼs mother life. This is more than personal now. A past friend or not, heʼs actively seeking to harm those we love. Whatever bonds I had with him in the past have been instantly broken the moment he endangered the life of my daughter.”

”Shade…” My mother sighed.

”He… He didnʼt kill me, even when all the strength he had.” Arafunn sighed. ”I had even merged with Tempest and Melodia yet… I couldnʼt bring myself to kill him, but at the same time, he didnʼt aimed for my life either.”

”What did he said before leaving?” My father asked.

”He said that… his mission for now was accomplished, even when he failed to defeat the Queen, he learned a lot about… the kids.” Said Arafunn.

”What?! The kids? Sylphy and everyone else?” My father roared, hitting the table. ”That bastard… Donʼt tell me, is he… is he aiming to kill them because theyʼre going to become the future heroes?!”

”I… I donʼt know.” Arafunn sighed. ”His intentions were mysterious and his way of speaking cryptic. I had no idea what he intended, and whenever I tried to dig deeper, he would bash at me, or provoke me.”

”I might be nobody to talk about this but… That man, Gray…” Ninhursag said. ”The aura he exuded, the intentions he had, and the emotions he let out were strange. It felt as if he was wearing a mask, hiding his true form. Though, even beneath such a mask, there was perhaps something even darker. I believe he might have been holding back.”

”I assume he might be only supporting the demons to an extent, but heʼs not someone that has the same goals as them, yet, by supporting them, heʼs getting some sort of benefit that might help him achieve his own personal goals, and so, heʼs capable of going so far for them.” My mother said.

Creaak…!

Before I could hear more, I suddenly made the wooden floor creak a bit with my foot.

Everyone looked at me in surprise, my mother quickly reprimanded me.

”Sylphy! Were you eavesdropping?”

”A-Ahahah… Maybe.”
