Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Pathfinder
Kain after finding a way to treat Keijisama had come to temporarily stay with an old woman in the shore where he found himself. Four people had to sleep in that small bamboo cabin.
"Damnit!!"
Keijisama cried out to the river as he threw stones into it. He was very frustrated. Kain looked at him from.the front of the cabin where he sat with Max.
"Were you also from Tokyo too?"
"No"
"Then where are you from?"
"None of ya business"
"I’m from Germany... or should I say was" he’s expression became gloomy.
Kain was at first irritated but quickly felt an urge to want to feel sorry for him, but as he wasn’t too straightforward with his feelings he asked, "Do you wanna tell me stories about when you were on earth"
Max face lit up "Yes! are you sure you wanna hear?!!"
Kain smiled, "go on"
"You see I’m from a very rich family, most times I don’t often find it hard to do things, I just have to call my father, I wasn’t particularly spoilt like every other rich kids but I was proud, oh and I had friends, I had lot of friends, of course, some that were not true, some that loved me for money, among them, Stefan was really amazing you see..."
As Max continued, Kain smiled and for the first time thought of how he messed up his real companion but soon dismissed the thought.
’That filth’
The owner of the cabin smiled as she watched them from.outside.
’he just might be the right boy after all’

A voice rang out from a long wrapped material. The old woman turned and moved closer to it.

"Aiai. I have to fetch some firewood, the night is falling upon us, I have to make fire"
She took her walking stick and began to walk steadily as Madarias continued to shout.
*****************************
Lewis watch as the snake struggled with the mouse before it was finally able to swallow it.
The night was darker than usual.
"It’s been silent for a while, that is unexpected though... there is an existence of a variable" He clenched his teeth. "how did they get those monstrous animal, I thought I have actually succeeded but with everything on a pause my plan is on a pause too. Whatever it takes this war must continue and whoever pushed the Azure empire to start I’m sure he is thinking the same thing as I am... perhaps this is that one point we agree... I didn’t want to involve myself in the war but I must have underestimated the Forgan folks even though I was warned. What I don’t understand is why are the Forgan empire waiting too, they have the power to take out the Azure empire, they should push for it and use this opportunity, to swallow the Azure empire but instead they are silent. Do I have to really push my going to the Central artic again... finding the first sage has been no easy task and with all that is happening, it’s getting harder for me"
Ross stood beside him in silence.
"Don’t look at me like that... it’ll make me feel awful"
"How are you able to do it?"
"Huh" Lewis raised his head.
"Everything... I’ve been with you for over a year now and I have seen you do things, fail, succeed, over and over again, I’ve seen how much you have grown. I really don’t know how you are able to put all things together, evolving a kingdom to an empire is your final goal... how?..."
"Evolving Euphoria Kingdom to an empire is not my goal... going back home is... coming to this world I realized something... anything is possible..." Lewis stood up, "... it might be possible to turn things back to the way it used to be... back when we knew nothing, it’s just a speculation though but it won’t hurt to find out"
"ahh I see..." Ross kneeled and bowed, "I want to properly serve you"
"Stop that... it’s cringe"
"Please let me..."
"haven’t you been serving me all this while.... and using the word serving might just be a bit too extreme, I’m just a 14 year old boy,"
Lewis touched him and brought him up for his knees, "We would have to prepare spending another year in Forgan empire before going to the Central artic to find the great sage"
"Yes sir"
"Then I’ll be in your hands" Lewis smiled to him.
When it came to catching the heart of men, he’s tender and innocent, cute smile was very effective. Lewis had a non combat class but he could utilize combat class, it was the hidden among the hidden, the ability to make players break their limit, Lewis enjoyed the system as much as the system enjoyed him, if at all he suspected anything he was smart enough not to say it. What Rein realized much more later, he had realized from the start of the game. He was going to fully utilize the system and become strong even though he could not throw accurate punches and seeing swords. Though Ross was teaching him basic dagger skills enough for him to protect himself, Lewis knew he eventually had to learn to fight, the system worked in such a way that it created a scope for everyone to work in, specific to only such person, there was no such thing as two people having the same classes, even if at the basic level the classes were the same, on class advancement quest, different paths are taken. That was the goal of class advancement quest to give the players a direction and not make the stagnant more so, to have control over them whatsoever path they take, as of now the only person the system could probably get hold of is someone that had not chosen a class. Even though classes were specific it was still possible to do other things, for example someone with a sword type class could wield a spear if such person learns to do so.
Lewis was a sage but he could still learn to fight if he was taught to.
"Shall we get to our lesson of the day"
Ross heart was with excitement as he thought of the journey ahead with him standing beside Lewis, to Ross; Lewis was the protagonist of this world.
