Chapter 3 - Quality Time with Daddy Part 1
“Damnit we’re still being followed! Blaze think you can stall them while I hide Haliel so I can fight properly?” [Alan]
Blaze agreed and let out a soft cry in agreement then turned around to face their pursuers.Before Blaze reached them he covered his body in a beautiful blue flame then he charged at them.This made them split up to avoid the collision.
“Tch. This Damn bird. And how are they so fast when we should be similar levels.” [RERC]
“Everyone be on guard! There’s only the Blue Blazing Phoenix here, that means the human is still hidden.” [RERC]
Blaze didn’t let them rest, instantly he breathed a huge flamethrower at them causing them to cover themselves with water veils. Though this would usually block normal Phoenix fire or fire from monsters at level 55 or below, Blaze was a rare specie and was level 95.Instead of his fire being blocked by them he completely evaporated the water veil and instantly burned 2 of them into a crisp.
Only the leader of this group and 2 others were smart and quick enough to set up an earth shield to protect them.Even the earth shield barely withstood the heat until Blaze stopped to breath air, otherwise all of them would’ve died already.
“Shit! We were mistaken these guys are probably higher level than we thought!” [RERC]
Alan leaped out of the shadows with two swords in hand, slicing down on one of the unsuspecting target.
“Solar Brilliance!!” [Alan]
An extremely bright light appeared out of nowhere and blinded the remaining two.
“ARRGHH! MY EYES! Damnit this bastard has quickcast too!!??” [RERC]
Using this chance Alan use one of his most powerful sword skill.
“Thousand Slashes of the Inferno Asura!”
This skill makes literally a thousand flaming blades, each slashing through the target effortlessly as the wielder strikes with his own swords, then burns them until nothing's left but ashes.With this ability Alan does a cross slash cutting cleanly through them both, followed by a thousand burning blades.
“If only our abilities and skills weren’t dangerous enough to burn down everything we could’ve saved Eril too! Dammit why did my highest affinity have to be fire!” [Alan]
“Tch. This place isn’t safe anymore now that those bastards found it! I have to go and find another place so that I can keep Haliel safe.” [Alan]
After that Alan and Blaze went to the place where he hid Haliel and went to search for a new safe place, but first they have to go buy Ward Crystal so they set out for the nearest human town, Daudan.Daudan is about a month's walk away.Alan could just ride Blaze and get there within 2 days or so but he didn’t want to attract any attention so he decided to walk there.
Another reason he decided to walk was to hunt monsters and sell their meat and hopefully some drops too, when they reach the town. He needed the extra money since he only had enough on him to buy the four Ward Crystal which costs 15 gold pieces each.
___________________________________________________
Haliel is finally up now and is thinking about what just happened.
Well I went for quite a ride… Anyways what will dad do now and I hope mom is alright.Did they finally stop chasing after us or did dad take them out?Well either ways is fine but… WHAT THE HECK! I never thought something this crazy would happen when I’m still so young.
OK I know I’m in a Fantasy world and stuff like this happens a lot in the light novels that I read but to have it actually happen to me, sheesh! Can’t I have a break… Ahh man, I’m hungry.
While Haliel was thinking these things Alan was searching for something that Haliel could eat, he knows she’s probably hungry by now but finding suitable plants to feed a baby is hard, especially one this young.Good thing he was an adventurer once, else he wouldn’t have known which plants were dangerous and which weren’t.
After about 20 minutes, Alan finally found and dug up a turnip looking plant.He crushed this to get the juice out and moves it into a potion bottle he had in his inventory space.
When he was done making a baby bottle out of the other materials he had, he transferred the juice into it and fed Haliel.Though it was not as nutritious as breast milk, it was better than nothing and wasn’t harmful to her.
“Haliel I’m sorry but this is the best I can do for now.” [Alan]
It’s alright dad, I understand.Mom isn’t here and you obviously don’t produce milk, haha….ha..Anyways I know that you tried your best.
___________________________________________________
A month passed by.
We finally arrived at Daudan. Dad went into a shop to sell the extra meat and monster drops.Hmm there are a lot of game-like stuff in this world.Anyways he went to buy the Ward Crystals after everything not needed was sold.
Along the way I saw a person being… sold on a stage!He had chains around his neck, wrists, and ankles.There are slaves!!?? Wait didn’t that one robed guy that attacked us say that elves are made into slaves!?Wouldn’t that mean that I fall into the same category as the elves!? I could become a slave!
My dad figured this too and covered up my head with a cloth.After we got the wards, my dad went to buy a horse so we could travel faster.As we were walking out of the shop, a couple in expensive looking clothing bumped into my father and knocked the cloth of my head.
“Hoi! Watch where you’re going you trash!” [Rich man]
“Oh honey, be careful you might… oh? Is that a baby? She looks adorable.” [Rich woman]
“Hmph! I’ll let you go this time for a small price if you apologize because I’m a nice person. Next time something like this happen I won’t let you off so easily.” [Rich man]
“Yeah… I apologize for bumping into you.” [Alan]
“Oh wait a bit honey this baby is an elf. You can probably sell her off to a slave merchant for quite a lot of money. We can’t miss this chance dear.” [Rich woman]
“Oh you’re right, she certainly is an elf, though her ears are a bit shorter they are still pointy enough to tell.” [Rich man]
“Excuse me sir, is that baby perhaps an… elf? Where did you get one of such young age? Anyways how about we make a deal? As I am feeling a bit generous I am willing to take her off your hand for 200 gold.” [Rich man]
“I’m sorry but she’s not for sale. She is very precious for me.” [Alan]
“Is there anyway I can…” [Rich man]
“I’m sorry but as I said, I’m not going to sell her.” [Alan]
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Saying this my dad got on the horse with me and left town.Yeah that’s right I’m not an object to be sold!
‘Tch. This damn bastard. I will get what I want, just you wait!’ [Rich man]
Not long after my dad left Daudan, the rich man placed up a bounty.
Bounty
100 Gold Reward
A man in ragged clothing has stolen one of my slaves’ child and I want him dead! Don’t harm the child however, for
each scratch on her I reduce the pay by 10 Gold. The man who did this looks to be in his late 30’s with purple eyes and
dark black hair. He is also 5 feet and 8 inches tall. Last seen in a damaged black coat and metal protectors for his
chest, arms, and legs. Also carries two swords on the waist.
Sent by Duke Hart Ashwood of Daudan
After the bounty went up, we encountered many bounty hunters.
‘Why are there so many people coming after me and Haliel? Wait is it because of that Duke Hart!? ‘ ‘Tch. Damn I should’ve paid more attention, if only I had noticed that the cloth covering Haliel fell off.’ [Alan]
Once again another bounty hunter is coming after me and my dad.Sensing his presence my dad drew his sword and used one of his ability.
“Wind Slash!”
With just that my dad sliced through a few trees alongside the path and the bounty hunter included.Well that was easy. Either that or my dad is just overpowered…
Day after day more and more powerful bounty hunters come after us, by now it has become a normal occurrence.Really… that rich guy must be crazy about elves… Urgh, just thinking about it makes me feel sick…
The amount of bounty hunters have dropped now that dad has found a new “safe area” and set up the Ward Crystal.The only ones who dare come into this monster infested forest are level 65 and above now.

3 years later.
Three years had passed by now and the number of hunters had dropped considerably.Though the amount of those who comes after us has dropped, they have however increased in strength.And of course Blaze helps out, in fact he helps out a lot.
As it turns out, you get your Status Window at the age of three, so now I can check my status and it turned out great. According to my dad, I have abnormal status in intelligence and wisdom for someone my age, well that is expected. I also have a weird Title which I can guess what it means already.

“Daddy what does ‘Taboo Child’ mean?”
“Ah… well it’s umm… how to put this…” [Alan]
“It’s okay if daddy doesn’t know.”
Well I guess he doesn’t want to make me feel bad. Hehe.I already know though and I’m fine with it.
“Can daddy show me his status too?”
“Okay okay, here it is sweetie.” [Alan]

“Wow!!! Daddy is so strong!!”
Holy shit! He IS overpowered!
“Daddy why does your skill window have ‘<
“Well, because you can hide the things you don’t want others to see and so daddy’s skills are going to be his secret.” [Alan]
“So will daddy show me the skills if I want to learn them?”
“You want to… what!” [Alan]
“Well, umm… bad people keep on coming here to try and kill you. I also want to learn so I can help you.”
“Haliel… it’s too dangerous for you right now though.” [Alan]
“It’s alright, you can just teach me magic first then.”
“Haha okay sweetie but no dangerous ones, okay?” [Alan]
“Yay!!! I’m going to learn magic.”
“Okay it’s going to get dark soon, so go take your bath now.” [Alan]
“Okay daddy!”
___________________________________________________
Just as Haliel walked out to go take a bath, Blaze flew into the room.
“Master, there are no threats within the wards and no monster has approached them either. Nothing in particular within 100 meter radius of the house either.” [Blaze]
“That’s good to hear. We can rest for a while I hope. And this peace is always welcomed. But it really was amazing how you learned to talk after reaching level 100, before me to boost. Hahaha.” [Alan]
“I’m glad I can finally have a proper conversation with you and Haliel too.” [Blaze]
“Oh and also, something I forgot to tell you. I’ll begin Haliel’s magic lessons tomorrow.” [Alan]
“Why the rush, isn’t she only 3?” [Blaze]
“Yes, that is true but have you seen her stats, her intelligence and wisdom are high enough to learn it and with her skill ‘World Language’ she would easily be able to cast even the ancient spells. And also she was really enthusiastic to learn magic.” [Alan]
“I see. Well, it’s not like it’s a bad thing to start early. In fact it should greatly benefit her.” [Blaze]
*P.S. I tried to fix the tables but ended up messing the whole chapter.... don't have time to mess with it anymore so I'll just wait till they find a solution with the new site update (or someone point it out to me), to fix the chapter*
