Chapter 10 – Blessing

With the downpour of rain. The NPCs and I along with the slave girl moves to the nobleman’s wooden house in the frontier village for temporary shelter. In the center of the house of the first floor. There is a dirt shallow hole with fire wood used for cooking meals. Rider starts a fire easily. The beastmaster job class probably get survival skills. I find that pretty handy. We all start to huddle around the fire to warm up.

I hear the stomach of the little slave girl make growling noises. I decide to have a meal prepared for everyone. I do not feel any hunger or thirst anymore. Must be due to becoming a divine race. Which means I do not have to use the bathroom either. A blessing. I doubt the food in this primitive world will be to my taste buds.

To have a craving for certain earth foods will be a pain after all. I will miss eating pho and other vietnamese dishes. Archer and Rider then take out the food supplies they raided from the village. Supplies consisted of dried meat, vegetables, hard bread, random herbs, and what looks to be salt.

“Fumu, seems the only thing we can prepare is simple meat and vegetable soup. Good thing there is a cooking pot here to cook it in.” –Dasas

“Chief. I am just gonna toss in all these ingredients in the pot. Add water and bam we got a hearty meal!” –Rider

“Rider you don’t even have cooking skill. I bet it will taste like junk but hunger is the best spice.” –Archer

“……………….” –Slave girl

While the food is cooking in the pot over the fire. I look at the little girl sitting next to me staring into the fire. Being so young. I doubt she can survive alone in this world. I did take off her slave collar so that means I got to take responsibility for my actions. At the very least I can offer her food and shelter. I can’t imagine what she has gone through. I doubt she can live a normal life. Damn shame I can’t get a ipad with games and internet access to use as a babysitter for her. That is how the parents on Earth raise their kids now.

This world is primitive. The people are cruel so power is needed to survive. I should at the very least teach survival and fighting skills to the kid. She can take care of herself in the future. She looks weak so maybe having her learn dagger skills will work. But that will require lots of training. Dagger is most effective when targeting specific weak points.

Having her learn polearm skills might be the best option. Weapon will be a little heavy, but she will be able to fight at a safer distance. She can learn how to handle other weapons later on. If she chooses. I will be sure to make a short copper spear for her training. Once I get back to my workshop.

“Little-one. I gave you freedom. But since you are so young. I will take care of you. Until you’re strong enough to survive on your own.” –Dasas

“I will follow you master Dasas. I only know how to live as a slave.” –Slave Girl

The slave girl looks at me with dead fish eyes. It shows me that she does not know any other way to live.

“Little-one from today forth. Your name shall be Lancer. A servant of this War God Dasas.” –Dasas

Lancer decided to serve you. Do you wish to give her your blessing?YesNo

A pop up message window pops up. Giving me the option to bless the little girl. I press [Yes] since it might help her to survive in this world. A light appears over the girl. I notice certain changes. Her chest which showed her rib cage sticking out. Slowly change to healthy supple skin and muscle. Two small mounds are protruding from her chest. Indicating she is probably near puberty. They were not noticeable in her previous malnourished state.

All her old scars and wounds also disappear. Replaced with smooth clear ivory skin. Her dirty brunette hair now gives off a lustrous shine. It is straighten going down a little past her shoulders. Lancer now gives off a healthy form with clear blue eyes. They no longer give a dead fish appearance, but one with a will to live. Lastly, a black tattoo of a sinister dragon symbol appears on her left cheek. Totally ruins her cute face and making her look like a deviant.

That dragon symbol must be my personal mark, since I used to be a dragonoid. Anyway, with Lancer’s new appearance. She really needs to get some proper clothes. Being nude now is bad for the eyes. I prefer my women well developed, but I am still a man. Besides, it will be bad to have Lancer learning how to fight while naked. I use [Scan] on Lancer to see the results.

Lancer – Champion of Dasas – Level 1

Champions are those mortals chosen by gods to become heroes. At least that is what I learned from stories of myth and legend. So Lancer became my representative hero probably. Anyway, I should look around for the nobleman’s wardrobe. Find something for Lancer to wear. While searching what looks to be the nobleman’s bedroom. I find a white shirt with long sleeves.

I had the sleeves cut in half. Put the shirt on Lancer to wear. The size made it look like a dress on her. I finish the outfit with a leather strap to tie around her waist. Act as a belt and later to add pouches on it to carry items. I tie her hair up with a leather-like string into a ponytail. Now she looks better. A huge upgrade from the dirty slave before.

I got rid of the ragged dirty loincloth she wore before. She is naked underneath the white shirt. I will get her some proper clothes when I visit a town in the future. Sadly, I could not get any footwear in her size. She will have to go barefoot for now.

With that done. The vegetable and meat soup has finish cooking. It got passed around in wooden bowls with a side of hard bread. Everyone began eating except for me. I do not require sustenance anymore. The food looks bad so I lucked out.

Since it is night and raining. We will stay in the nobleman’s house for tonight. Make way back to my mansion in the morning tomorrow with Lancer in tow. I hope Assassin and Caster will be alright staying back at the mansion. I will be sure to apologize for leaving them and bring food. Another hectic day in this new world ends. Hopefully the new day will be a pleasant peaceful one.
