(*sobbing*)
Logia broke down into multiple pieces of lights and entered Sage. Sage could not comprehend what was going on but he then heard a voice in his head.
"Hello? Sage, can you hear me testing 1, 2,3."
(*sigh*)
Sage deeply sighed in relief, he was overjoyed that Logia was still alive.
"But, how did you get into my head?"
"Well, you see, on the night you slept in the cottage a blue box appeared in front of me."
~~~~~~~~
[*ping*]
[*Would you like to enter the host?*]
{*Yes*} {*No*}
"Huh!? I can enter Sage's body!?, I really don't know all the system's functions. Well, I won't use it now, it might come a handy someday when I really need it. "
~~~~~~~~
"Hehe, and that's what happened, sorry did I scared you!? thanks for worrying about me hehe."
"I..I wasn't scared! and I didn't worry!"
Sage blushed while he harshly denied Logia's remark.
"Anyway, someone is here to see you."
"Me? who?"
"It is I, Drac, sir Logia. I am glad to see that you are doing fine."
Logia who was inside the system watched his best friend converse with him, he was so happy. He shed tears of joy.
"I'm glad to talk to you again, it's been more than a thousand years since I last heard your voice."
"Wait, Logia how old are you really!?"
"None of your business!"
(*laughs*)
That moment became the happiest moment of Logia's life.
"Anyway, Logia can you put up the barrier again?"
"I'm afraid not, I lost a lot of energy just to keep the last one up, I will need to recuperate inside the system."
"Well, I guess it's time to leave this place, it's not safe to train here anymore. Speaking of which, let's check out my status"
Sage wanted to call for his Status but Logia obstructed him.
"Wait a minute Sage, I think I can do that for you now that I'm in the system."

"So I did level up! and by three levels too, this is great. And I attained one skill and some items from that Skie guy!"
Sage looked happy when he checked out his Status, but it was time for them to leave the Spirit Forest.
"Oh yeah, Logia where did you put the items, that was present on my first dungeon raid."
"Oh that!? I put it into your inventory
By the time he got back to the exit of the forest, it was already dawn.
He walked back up the hill he rolled down for the first time before he became the successor.
(*step*)
(*step*)
"Here we are, my home"
Sage arrived at his house which was burnt down to the ground. He stepped into it to look for any remains. After rummaging around for a few minutes, he found a Lockett which had a picture of his mother. Sage gripped the Lockett tightly to his chest.
"Mom, I will go get you now."
And so he walked to the city centre, the entire area was abandoned, it was like a destroyed ghost city.
"Wow, no one's around, well what did I expect, it was doomsday after all."
Upon reaching the city Safe received a new mission, the screen was green.
[*ping*]
[*Mission*]
[ Gather food and supplies ]
[ penalty> Lack of food and supplies]
[ Reward> Food and supplies, 2 Exp ]
[*Do you accept?*]
{*Yes*} {*No*}
"Huh? a new mission? and it's about food and supplies too, meaning there should be ethier a convenient store or a supermarket nearby."
(*Click*)
{*Yes*}
[*The mission has begun good luck*]
Sage searched for the store, which was right next to a high rise apartment. He was right in front of the doors, but then he paused to talk to Logia.
"Yo Logia, what do you think about this mission?"
"Hmm... I don't think its that easy, it's better to keep your senses sharp."
"Alright thanks"
The doors opened, the inside was so dark that a person would be able to see inside, and a dense smoke emerged from the inside. The heat from the inside affected Sage.
"whoa that's hot it feels like there's an oven in there, anyway let's get this over with."
The store was an oven indeed, not only that, there were many surprises waiting in store for Sage.
Sage stepped into the furnace-like building and found
seven identical sacks aligned at the entrance, a screen appeared.
[*ping*]
[*Some of these bags contain food, some contain coal, and others contain poisonous snakes, chose wisely for there is no return.*]
"So this is a matter of luck and estimation huh? what do you think Logia?"
"To be honest the probability of three of the bags being food is high and the other for are coal and poisonous snakes. However, my guess could be vis versa."
Sage took a second to grasp the situation, contemplating how much of food was really present in the bags.
"Hmm... from what I've seen so far the system is not a softy, so it could be that there are only two bags of food present and the rest are coal and snakes. But what I don't know is which bag contains the food, they are all completely identical."
Sage carefully looked at each bag and found a little clue.
"wait a minute! the system is a bit merciful after all, the bags aren't exactly identical because the knots that tie each of them are different."
That was right, the rope knot that tied each bag was indeed different. Two had a fisherman's knot, another two had a square knot and the last three had bowline knot.
Now all that was left for Sage to do was to choose the right bags.
