They are all shocked when Liam crushed the cover of his coffin. For an ordinary person, Liam is strong and doesn't need magic to crush his coffin.
He heavily gasped for air and clenched his both fist to suppress the feeling of nearly death again.
Zaki hides on the back of Yeind because of the fear.
"I'm scared."
She said while pulling Yeind's upper shirt.
Trijeus and Ruwan almost pee in their pants and hold each other because of fear and surprise.
"Y-you.. Y-you're Liam?"
Yeind asked while tattering.
This is the first time that they encountered a recruitment of members in a cemetery and worst, he just got up from a coffin.
Yeind holds her grip to look strong.
Liam looks at the people who saved him from his own grave.
"T-thank you for saving me."
He said while catching his breath.
They just calmed when they can't sense any mana in or magic energy on the body of the young boy.
Yeind uses her power to pull Liam up from his grave and sit him in the grass. He looks harmless so Yeind is assured that this boy in front of them doesn't have a capability to harm them.
"I can't sense any mana in your body."
She confusedly said.
How come a peasant captured a very important card of the Royal Mage.
"Ah- *deep breath* I don't have any potential."
They are all surprised again for another fact that they discovered while Liam is looking at the young girl that is hiding in the back of Yeind, specifically in the food that Zaki was holding.
Zaki sensed what the eyes of Liam were saying.
She slowly walks toward him and offers the food she was holding.
"*Chuckles* You can have this."
She said while offering her cupcake.
"R-really? Can I?"
Liam felt a severe hunger in his stomach so it doesn't even matter if the food he would take is not edible as long as he can fill his empty stomach.
Zaki nods at him and he hurriedly eats the cupcake she'd offer.
"Eat well Liam, I have some more."
Using Zaki's magic she put a picnic cloth on the ground and filled the cloth with different kinds of food.
Liam's eyes widened with surprise and excitement.
He clapped as he saw the food in front of him.
"Good timing! I still don't have my lunch because of this matter."
Ruwan said and sat on the other side and they all sat in front of the food.
"Yiieeh! Thank you for the food!"
Liam exclaimed and dug all kinds of food that served in front of him. Every time the food will be eaten it will be restored with the same food or a different one so it's a never ending food.
Liam gave them an approved sign because he can't express his gratitude through words. His mouth is full and he's so amazed by Zaki's power.
"You look friendly, an easy to befriend person."
Yeind noticed him.
He swallows the food in his mouth and talks back to what Yeind said.
"I do have a lot of friends in our village, I guess?"
They become interested in what he says.
"You guess?"-Trijeus
"O-um.. I considered them as a friend but I really don't know if they feel the same way about me. As you can see, I don't have potential or power so I've been discriminated."
He's talking like it's nothing to him but the fact that he was judged by his incapability that's really an absurd feeling.
Liam continues eating.
Liam became more comfortable to the people in front of him when he saw the two other boys almost compete over the food in front of them, another sign that they are comfortable too from his presence.
They were competing over a drumstick chicken. They were holding each other to prevent each other from taking the remaining drumstick. Liam came up with a naughty idea. He reached out the drumstick and ate it with his innocent look.
The two guys looked at him with disbelief and the two ladies were chuckling at them.
"Why?"
He innocently asked them but deep inside he was bursting with laughter.
"I will make you pass because you've just risen from your grave, the next time you'll do that I'll bury you alive."
Liam just chuckled and enjoyed the food while the boys were blaming each other from the taken drumstick.
"Do you know you've been dead for 5 days? As what I heard you debated with Gream because you keep insisting that you're alive."
He was startled from the news.
"I thought it was just a dream."
He can clearly recall their encounter.
"Where is she? The woman in my dream? Thank God she's alive."
He's really grateful that the woman she attempted to save was now safe.
"She came up with something but she instructed us to bring you home."-Trijeus
"Bring me home? Are we in the same village?"
He confusedly asked.
"No, we are talking about your new home Liam. You are now a part of Rowdy Spade."-Ruwan
He frowned because he didn't get what they were saying. What is Rowdy Spade? What's new home?
Since their village is a forgotten village, they don't have any news from their capital on what kind of system does the kingdom implement and the reach out of help from their kingdom is very seldom and almost zero.
All of their neighbours depend on Peleus' potential when it comes to the health crisis. Liam is very ignorant in their own kingdom system.
"What are you talking about?"
"Listen, from now on you'll be living with us and you're prohibited to show yourself from your family or from where you've been from. They might be astounded from seeing a dead person rise from his own grave."
He shook his head
"Peleus is my only family and I want him to know that I'm still alive, so won't be in sorrow anymore."
Yeind shook her head too.
"I'm sorry but you can't really do that. The whole palace might connaraceous if they'll found out that the Ace card of Gream, brought back alive the dead person."-Yeind
"Yeah, and also the whole palace at this time is so strict. Every corpse that died during the festival examines it but on the other hand it's helpful to the family of the dead person. The palace will take care of the financial burden for burying them. In your case, the palace guard might not know that you're dead so don't ever show yourself to someone who can recognize you. You'll just find a trouble if you'll do that."-Ruwan
He thought that it could be because of the festival so the palace brought money to help other people.
"Just for a while, I just really want to see Peleus."
He asked them.
He holds his emotion back to prevent himself from breaking in front of them. His tears almost fall every time he utters a word.
"Yeind?"
Trijeus look Yeind and they measured each other gaze on what they will do at this time.
"If your fellow villager saw you, the information of the dead being resurrected will quickly spread throughout the palace."
She reasoned out.
She can feel what Liam's feeling right now but what she was saying is the best for all of them.
"I'm good at hiding to other people, when we are playing hide and seek they can't caught me easily-"
"THE HECK Liam-"
Yeind almost burst in anger
"-this is not a game."
"I know. Just this one huh? I will follow you after I see Peleus. I promise, I'll be extra careful."
Yeind can feel now what Gream felt when he kept insisting that he is still alive. Liam's tone was so determined as if no one could oppose it. He looks like he was just asking for formality but whether they let him or not, he will follow his own choice.
"What will be the outcome of this?"
This is the first time that the members of Rowdy Spade saw Yeind asking someone seriously.
"I will follow what you want if you let me do what I want also. I will keep pestering you if you'll not let me do this. Please, just this one."
Yeind took a deep breath.
It's fine for Trijeus and Ruwan to let Liam do what he wants but it's too risky for him also if keep insisting.
"Can we stop you?"
"When it comes to an important person to me, no one can stop me."
"What if you perish by your simple peek?"
Liam frowned but he's also convinced that it will never happen.
"That's not going to happen-"
"Nothing is impossible at this time Liam."
"Let him go."-Zaki
They all looked at Zaki who was eating again.
"Zaki?"-Yeind
"We're Rowdy Spade and we are family. Will you let Liam be in danger?"
They all look at each other.
Gream will be mad if someone in their household suffers from danger alone.
She always says that suffering from danger alone will be valid if it's a sacrifice but one of her rules is to avoid sacrifices.
"No"
They synced answered
"Then problem solved but you only have 3 minutes Liam."
He was wondering why Zaki speaks like that, like she's old enough to talk back like that.
"Why does it seem like you're old enough in your tone?"
They all laughed on what he asked
"Zaki is already 18 years old"-Yeind
He dropped his drumstick in shock.
'Woah.. she's so cute, I thought she's just same aged as me'
