“The forest is filled with monsters so you better be careful okay!”

“Shall I go with you? No, I really think I need to go with you. I can’t let you do something this dangerous alone.”

“I’m fine; I can deal with this alone and this is my own quest you know, if I can’t do this how can I call myself a man?”

“That’s right Leviana, I know you’re so eager to have a son and now that it finally came true you just can’t pampered him too much he’s an adventurer after all. By doing this he would definitely get stronger”

“but…”

“I’m fine, really. Don’t worry big sis---I mean mother. I will surely be back after completing my quest so just wait for me, okay”

“Fine, but take this. If it became very dangerous blow this horn and I will surely come to save you okay”

You have acquired “Horn of the Forest Elf”

“Thank you mom, then I’ll be going see you later”

Oooooh! Is this the feeling of having a real family? It feels wonderful!

Hahaha it all started last night when I suddenly say “Please adopted me”

---00---

“Please adopt me!”

As soon as I said that, the room became quiet in an instant.

“Wha-what did you say!?”

“Please adopt me!”

I said again.

“This……*cough* and your reason?”

“Uumm……So that I can eat your delicious foods every day?”

I promptly answered.

Call me shameless but this is an opportunity you know, and with this I can also fulfill the first task I planned beforehand.

As expected the instructor and Mrs. Leviana was dumbstruck, not that I can blame them for it. A stranger whom you just met and was invited to your house by chance just suddenly said “Please adopt me” is completely

incomprehensible and totally absurd.

But unlike the two, the princess who couldn’t contain it anymore was laughing very hard while holding her stomach like a dam that suddenly burst.

Hey princess, you’re forgetting your character you know! Just where did that quiet and taciturn princess went to?

“You!?...”

The instructor stood up, his eyes looking intently at me but I can’t read his expressions whether he was angry or happy. Maybe he was angry?

Not wanting to escalate this situation anymore, I steeled my resolve and told my story to them.

“Well, food is a minor reason though; you see I just came into this city with no one to rely on. I don’t know what to do and in the moment of my needs a kind instructor and his wife accepted me and treated me warmly. For me, this is the first time I experienced like this; it feels like I have a real family for some reason and it makes me very happy.

You see I grow up in an orphanage and I don’t know who my real parents are, although right now I couldn’t care less about it, but seeing the both of you make me think otherwise…”

Although living with a mom as beautiful as her would be very wonderful as expected I can’t say that.

In order to survive in this world I need to strengthen my foundation first. Just before I came here I made some tasks I need to achieve:

First, find some shelter

Second, train to become strong

Third, find Marie and teach

For now this should be enough. If I can stay here (together with the delicious foods) I can say that the first task has already been achieved and not only the first but also the second. I can also train here under the tutelage of the strongest swordsman; the instructor. Typically two birds with one stone.

No matter where you see it, this place is the most suitable for me.

After listening to me, the couple looks at each other and then at me.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes!”

As soon as I said that, Mrs. Leviana suddenly jumped at me. Because I was taken up by surprise I fell in my butt.

“Look, look Draig I have a son! I have a son! Hahaha…..finally I have a son!”

She was shouting and crying at the same time while hugging me. Shocked with this unexpected development, I look at the instructor.

His expression became solemn as he looked directly at me and said

“She wanted to have a child for a very long time but because she is an elf, it was a wish so difficult to achieve. She was always moping and blaming herself because she couldn’t give me a child and I couldn’t do anything about it, that’s why thank you…”

“Eh? No no, I should be the one thanking you!”

That’s right; I should be the one thanking them. Even if they do take me in, I would still be a freeloader.

That night became a celebration. Although I was expecting to be refused at worst throw me out, I was welcomed warmly and affectionately by them instead.

How ironic isn’t it?

This game or death game should be a nightmare for us players, but instead this supposedly nightmare gave me something very important, something that I don’t have and that something I always wishing for in the other side. Family!

Well yeah, I have mother superior and the other children whom I deemed as my brothers and sisters but having a real family is really different from that. Although because of them I often forgot that small wish of mine but now in this world far from reality, I found it.

The princess rested for the night in the house and left early next morning.

The sleep I got last night was one of the best I have so far. Ah now that you mention it, when I woke up, I felt something weird like I just forgot something really important. I wonder what it is.

Strange...

Oh well, let’s put that aside for now and focus solely in the quest.

After leaving the house I wanted to leave the town right away but I still need to buy and prepare the things I might need in my quest.

As soon as I arrived at the plaza, what took my attention is the people lying and sitting everywhere with eyes full of despair. They are the users or players like me lingering at the ground with nothing to do.

I have really forgotten that just only a day has passed since that not-so-terrifying tutorial held by that Lolita (self-proclaimed) Goddess. Unlike me who already accepted the situation, this people still couldn’t believe that this is happening, although there are some who already recovered and now massacring those poor chickens and rabbits (like

I thought) to raise their levels. Hm…is it because of my unique skills I wonder? I guess I’m pretty lucky.

Not my problem…

I continued walking until I arrived at the first shop I wanted to go. This is my first stop, the weapon shop. Although father already gave me a short iron sword that I can use, I still wanted to buy few weapons I might need. Being

prepared will help one survive, there is no absolute after all.

Beside the sword I have, I wanted to buy few long-range weapons like a bow maybe? If possible I don’t want to fight in a close-combat battle, which will be very dangerous. I need something that can attack from afar.

Inside the shop, there were various weapons like swords, bow, spear, shield, axe and others. From high tier weapons to lower tier weapons. From what I know items are categorized accordingly into 7 ranks, starting from the weakest tier which is , , , , , , and lastly

For example my starting gear and armor can be called tier items. This iron short sword I received from father is a item or weapon. tier and Tier items are difficult to find. These items can either be dropped by a very special and high-level boss or some other special circumstances.

Finally, , and class items are more difficult to obtain. Other than and class items and weapons are said to be only found in legends for there is still no one in the world ever found it.

...Is what the forum said..

In this shop, only and tier weapons were sold. Although these are only low tier weapons, they are expensive enough for someone like me. Like the bow which I think I might need cost 3 silver coins, right now I only have 5 silver coins in my pocket.

Should I just took the money mother gave me a while ago? But she already gave me 3 silver coins and I hate to impose on her so much. Jeez it hurts to be poor.

As I proceed to the deepest part of the store, I noticed a rusted broken dagger in the corner of the store.

Broken Dagger (Inferior):

Durability: 20/20

Once held by an unknown famous assassin in the past, but now it was neglected and just let it rust.

Unknown famous assassin huh?

I took the dagger and tried to appraise it but failed. I was downhearted, my appraisal skill failed? Not wanting to give up I used it again this time it work but… I’m not expecting something but when I read the notification again I was greatly surprised.

Broken Dagger (Undefined)

Held by an unknown famous assassin in the past. When he died the dagger was left buried. Someone found it but it was already full of rust and was broken through time. Now it was only a shadow of its former majestic self. Once repaired it will be able to show its full power again.

What!? Th-this is…

I keep my poker face and ask the shop owner

“How much is this Dagger?”

“Dear costumer, that dagger cost 2 silver coins but for you I can sell it for 1 silver coins and 60 copper coins, how about it?”

“Deal!”

The currency of this world seems like this: 100 copper coins=1 silver coin, 1,000 silver coins= 1 gold coins, and 1,000,000 gold coins = 1 platinum

I put the dagger I just bought to my bag. Finished buying, I decided to leave but when I turned around I noticed something peculiar.

“What is this thing? A weapon?”

What caught my attention is a long needle with 8-9 inches long and its front has a slender but pointed tip.

“Yes dear costumer. This thing was made by a blacksmith from the capital. He said that it was a new kind of throwing weapon of sort. But because it is very hard to use it isn’t that popular”

These weapons although it is the first time I saw it, I heard and read about it a long time ago. In the past I was once fascinated about ninja’s or assassins so I once tried using throwing weapons like knives and some shuriken. Although

I can’t say I’m really good about it, I can say I’m just so-so.

“How about it dear costume, I will give them to you for 5 coppers each. These things only take up so much space in my inventory and throwing it out seems a waste, no one wanted to buy it so I’ll just make it cheap for you!”

The shop owner said without hesitation. Opportunity, I immediately accept his proposal. 20 long needle-like throwing weapon for 1 silver coins is already a great bargain. I can’t afford a bow, so these needles will be more useful for me.

Next will be potion I guess.

I left the weapon shop and head to the shop recommended by father to buy potions. After a few turns I easily found it. The names of the shop is
