"I better go take a shower quickly, how dare that bastard puke on me? That shit was nasty!" Aaron Teleported to the bathroom and immediately took off his clothes and tossed them in the laundry basket, honestly he's not planning to wear them ever again.
'I better donate them,' He thought while scrubbing his body with the Loofah and applied more and more of the Body Wash, 'From now on... I better keep my distance from Squirrels whenever I'm in the canyon or anywhere else in that Dark-Forest.' Afterwards the kid sprayed his body with Perfume and jumped into bed.
Sherry seemed like she really wanted to sleep some more after a long and exhausting day but she still forced herself to hide all of it behind a smile, Aaron felt slightly ashamed of himself for having this girl go through all this trouble just to take care of him.
He might not have these emotions of guilt when he really didn't know this maid, but after listening to what kind of life did she experience with Scadur being the only family she had... the kid started cutting her some slack just so she may have some fun everyday.
That's also why she's the only one among the team of 5 to receive more pieces of Equipment, Sherry also received other gifts like casual clothes to wear when she's relaxing plus a few consumables like special Food and Potions.
'I'll take care of allocating the Ability and Skill Points when I wake up... my new Equipment too.' Seconds later, Aaron was already asleep with his head resting on his maid's snug and cozy breasts.
"Hmmm! What's that... Is it the "mark" which young master Ron kept asking me to find?" The teenager girl was snuggling the kid in her warm embrace and running her fingers gently between his thick yet soft and long raven hair, but after a while once she shook sleep away and became really awake... she noticed a tiny dot hiding a few centimeters above his right ear.
Once she focused on it, it turns out it isn't a dot at all... a few details could be seen between the delicate lines which form this dot!
Sherry could see the faint signs of an elongated jaw which many beasts have and a thick, furry tail on this mark.
'When young master Ron wakes up I'm going to tell him about it.' She thought before gently shifting the boy on his side and covering him with the blanket before leaving the bed and heading towards the bathroom.
*Bark* *Kuk-kuk-kuk*
"Huh!" Sherry was washing her face when she heard what seemed like a bark, once the girl turned to look behind her she saw a pair of Ruby-like eyes burning right through her with an intense gaze from the window.
"Perver-" Sherry couldn't complete he shout because the pair of red eyes glowed brighter and she lost control of her body!
Right when that wave of malicious, suppressive, and strange power which controlled the maids body was about to invade her head... something happened and a bright halo covered her body from head to toe.
The teenager girl stared in shock at the owner of these burning red eyes which stared at her in confusion and moved closer to sniff curiously at the bright halo which appeared and ruined its plan.
"A... Buff-Tail Skipper?" Sherry squatted and looked at the creature but it seemed harmless like the ones she saw before which likes to steal from the granary and cause mischief by chewing almost everything, "But what was it trying to do? How could it do what it did to me earlier and why? These red eyes look so cute now but they seemed extremely dangerous moments ago!" The maid patted the creature and started to massage its fur which seemed to please it a lot and it started enjoy itself.
"You listen here little one.
"Never stalk anybody... especially not to the bathroom! Alright?"
*Kuk-Kuk*
"Good." Afterwards Sherry picked it up and hugged it like some sort of chubby bunny before taking a look at the Necklace she's wearing and giving it a soft kiss then the teenager girl touched the Earrings gently while smiling because now she understands the source where the bright halo appeared from.
*Screech* *Bark* *Kuk-kuk*
"Quiet now! You're not to make any noise... Young master Ron is asleep, you see over there?"
*Kuk-Kuk*
The creature kept pointing with its claws towards the bed while trying to struggle itself free but the maid held it tightly and refused to let it go anywhere near the sleeping boy, "Let's go out," She took the sandglass with her and left the bedroom then closed the door behind he.
*Kuk-kuk*
"You seem hungry, let's go to the kitchen then... I bet you'd love old man Todd and big sister Betty's cooking just like me and young master Ron."
*Snort*
"Yeah there's some nuts there, I bet you'd fall head over heels once you try the peanut butter sandwich... I bet if I added some strawberry jam it would leave you woozy like a drunkard."
*Bark*
"Let's see if you're going to be truly able to resist it then."
20 minutes later, Sherry went back to the bedroom alone with an amused smile on her face and the creature which kept her company earlier was laying on its back on the kitchen table and having trouble breathing normally.
It's cute belly was fully rounded and everywhere around it was bread crumbs, smudges of peanut butter, and fruit jam.
At the other end of the table where the maid sat watching it eat, a few glass jars which had jam and peanut butter are now left empty.
*Yawn*
"Someone is in a good mood," Aaron smiled when he noticed his maid's face practically glowing when she smiled, "Sorry if I'm making life difficult for you these nights, I promise it'll be over soon." He gave the teenager girl a hug and whispered these words.
Sherry blushed slightly but she hugged him back and enjoyed this moment with the kid who rarely expresses his feelings with words and sometimes he does with his actions instead, of course she wishes if he'd do that often but the teenager girl decided that she'd take what she gets and be grateful.
"Ah! I almost forgot," The maid held the kid by the shoulders and pushed him back at arms' length, "I found it! I found the mark you kept asking me to look for."
"Really?"
Sherry nodded and touched the area on his scalp where she found it earlier, "It's here, small like a dot but I could see traces of faint lines on it... it looks like some one was trying to draw an animal within the tiny circle of that dot!"
Aaron was so excited by the discovery, he kissed the girl on the lips before saying : "Excellent! You did very good Sherry... really, really, really nice work." Afterwards he ran to the bathroom to handle his business.
He left the maid blushing shyly behind him and rolling in bed after getting kissed by the person she's been lusting after in secret for days now!
'The quest said to remove it from my body, but mentioned nothing about how to do so!' The kid used a mirror to check and thanks to his Identify Skill he could see the drawing much better than Sherry.
'It looks like some animal in the womb!
'I'd say a Wolf or a Husky but the limbs are a bit short which doesn't fit not to mention that extremely long, furry, and curvy tail which makes it look like a Skunk, Squirrel, or maybe a Raccoon.
'It doesn't matter what type of bastard is on this mark, I'll fucking dig my skin inches deep to get rid of it if I have too.
'The Beast-Wave is coming and I'm not going to become some kind of beacon to attract every creature in the Forest to take a bite.
'I probably wouldn't be able to handle the remaining Wasps in that Yellowjackets hive right now even after the stunt I played on them earlier which pushed me to Level 11 in seconds.' He thought while grinning wide before allocating 15 Ability Points to the Intelligence-Attribute and 10 Points to the Wisdom-Attribute.
Afterwards he used 4 Skill Points to increase Mana Points Boost to Level 10 and sighed when he couldn't push it higher since it's maxed out already.
Mana Points Boost Increases MP permanently and Increases MP proportional to host's level Mana Points Boost Level 10 (Max Level) Permanent MP Increase 10% Proportional MP Increase Current level * 100
"It doesn't matter anymore I guess, my base MP bar stands at 7739 now and I can push it to 9921 once I eat a Candied-Apple and drink an Extreme Blue Potion!" Aaron shrugged before muttering : "Now it's time to focus on my Defensive-Skills."

The boy wasn't satisfied when his Defensive-Skill also maxed out at Level 10 like the Passive-Skill before it, but he quickly turned his attention towards the next one and started adding Skill Points to increase its Level.

"From this moment onwards I'm going to be completely focused on my Offensive-Skills, damn my HP bar looks pathetic now compared to my MP bar! But... nothing comes even close to the monstrous Experience bar.
"I already earned almost a Million of Experience after killing nearly 10 thousand Wasps and mice but I only gained 5 Level-UPs.
"Now my Exp bar has almost 180k of Experience yet it requires me to collect 640k of Exp to reach Level 12.
"This is getting too hard, how am I supposed to gain Levels in the future? It's not like everyday I'm going to pick a fight with these dangerous Wasps or anything like that!
"Fuck! Now I'm feeling like I was cheated instead." Aaron glared at himself in the mirror before taking out an extremely sharp Razor which he bought from the Store at a cheap price of a dozen Gold Coins or so.
First he shaved that side of his hair after raising Energy Bolt to Level 3.
Energy Bolt Fire condensed Mana that explodes on contact with an enemy Energy Bolt Level 3 Mana Points Cost 25 Damage 173% of M/Attck Max Enemies Hit 4
"Now it's time to raise the Neutral-Class Skills," The kid stopped to look at the mark on his skin in the mirror, "At the rate which I'm going at right now... Recovery and Nimble-Feet are going to increase a Level in a day or two!" Afterwards he opened the Scalpel Blade and drew a bloody circle around it!
While using a piece of wet wipe to remove the blood to see, "Meanwhile Identify is probably going to increase by a Level later today or come next night." He was already drinking some All-Cure Potion to help him with the pain.
"Since I only have 5 Neutral-Class Skill Points," Aaron used a tweezers to pull that piece of skin with all of his power, "Ugh! This is disgusting, fucking gross! What the fuck were you trying to do to me you piece of shit? I'm burning you to the fucking hell you ugly looking parasite." The kid gawked once he saw the sight of the black colored worm which he just pulled from within his body, not to mention the sharp pain which made made him feel like his brain was getting torn in half with a dull Blade!
"Whoa! W-where are you going young master Ron? What's all this blood coming from?" Sherry was frightened by the sight when she saw her young master come storming out from the bathroom with the right side of his body almost completely covered in blood.
She also noticed him holding some black and twisting worm which is the size of her finger!
"The smithy to burn it, don't worry I'm fine... be right back." After saying that to calm his worried maid, Aaron Teleported away and less than a couple seconds later he appeared in front of the furnace and tossed the black leech-like parasite and the tweezers inside it before buying a Sapphire Staff from the Store and using it to cast an Energy Bolt followed by Flame Orb which he channeled for 3 Seconds.

*Boom* *Crack*
"Stop!" Mr Smith shouted once he saw Aaron arrive again with another Teleport to use his new Sapphire Staff and conjure another pair of Flame Orbs which he planned to send into the furnace, "The furnace is going to explode! Don't do it!"
*Tsk*
The kid looked at the giant which kept pleading for mercy to his furnace with his beady eyes, afterwards he clicked his tongue and released the Flame Orbs towards the sky and Teleported away.
"It really cracked... thankfully the damage isn't beyond repair! But what made him so angry to this degree? He really looked like he was willing to cut ties with me just to burn whatever he tossed inside the furnace, for a moment there I thought he was going to attack me too." Mr Smith assessed the damage his furnace received before sighing in relief, afterwards he started collecting materials to use for the repairs but now the temperature of the furnace is appropriate for him to fuse some of the refined metal he received from the boy into the Lightning-Rocks and replace the Bones of the Rocky-Primates.
Aaron on the other hand decided to go back and have a bath after receiving a System notification.
Half-Blood's Nemesis (Phase-one) Complete Phase Details The Dark Energy is still seeping from the Darkness Seal but it lost its guiding Mark on the Host Reward Host has control over 5% of the power within the Darkness Seal
'My Dark-Resistance is no longer classified as [Average] quality, now it's [Above-Average]+5%!' The kid thought while remembering how it felt once he burned that leech.
Especially after he noticed how that Mark was acting like guiding-beacon for his so-called Nemesis!
"Fucking come if you dare! I'll burn you to a crisp too, damn it... I hope this doesn't leave a scar." He muttered before looking at himself in the mirror then added : "I also need to cut my hair, Sherry... I'm in the master bathroom on the second floor."
"Yes young master Ron, I'm in the kitchen... coming right up."
*Kuk-Kuk* *Growl*
"It's you! How come you're still alive? What the fuck are you doing in my house? Scram already and let me enjoy my bath... Sho, Sho."
"You know one another?" Sherry looked between the creature in her embrace which struggled to jump at her young master and the boy who gave a lackluster response to the provocative gestures from the cute looking beast and pointed towards the window.
*Humph*
*Snort*
"He's just a ridiculous Red Squirrel, it's fat like a balloon, clearly this fur-ball is noisier than a cricket in heat, let's not forget that it's a disgusting and rude piece of crap which vomits on other people's clothes! Just throw it over the wall and get rid of it." Aaron answered while trying to use a comb to pull his hair back to cover the wound which stopped bleeding already and seemed like it's on an advanced stage of healing once he ate a Candied-Apple and drank one of each Extreme Potions before activating Recovery.
*Bark*
The Red Squirrel was maddened after getting insulted and struggled even harder and extended all of its claws forward in an attempt to scratch the boy, but the woman was holding it tightly.
"So its name is Squirrel huh!" Sherry looked down at it when she said that.
*Kuk-Kuk*
The beast kept shaking its head.
"Duh! What else would it be? I bet this bastard is half a dog since it also barks like one, stinks like a skunk too."
*Growl* *Snarl*
"Heh. It's so cute even when it's angry! Squirrel has a short fuse like me huh, Twinsie."
