Eren started to go to the place that will be his workplace every day in the early hours of the morning.
He was now responsible for everything that happened here. There were painting and plastering works being done on some walls. The workers and masters were doing their jobs according to what he had said.
He spoke with the deliverers who brought the materials and some products. He moved the mess from the warehouse to the trash and started doing all sorts of chores.
It is not clear whether I am really a manager or a cleaner. I feel like a slave.
But he was happy.
Waking up every morning with a purpose and so much to do that day prevented him from thinking about the Evon Universe. It pained him to think of Emily, whom he missed being by his side.
That's why he gave all his energy to this work with four hands. He made agreements with newly arrived product suppliers and prepared salary and working hours tables.
Exactly four days after making a deal with his boss, there was nothing he could do on his own. They only needed three people, one at the counter, one upstairs, and the last one to work the meat section.
They decided to make a few phone calls and personal interviews. Mira didn't leave him alone in this regard. The two interviewed a lot of people over a whole day.
It was both tiring and a waste of effort. Because they knew from the morning who should be hired. Strangely enough, the three people they talked to in the morning were perfect. Afterward, there were people they only talked to out of necessity because they had already called.
At the end of the day, they hired a blonde 26-year-old woman to host customers, a 22-year-old freshly-graduated girl to stand at the cash register, and a 32-year-old butcher who was very good at his job at the meat counter.
Eren made a list of what these employees needed, toiletries, and some more specialized cleaning supplies, and gave them to the new employees to order online.
For a while, the four of them, including Eren, would take care of all the work themselves. Then they would find someone else to take care of cleaning and storage. They avoided hiring an extra person to avoid unnecessary expenses. Moreover, it made more sense to look at how things would go and make an action plan accordingly.
..
Everything was calm and cheerful. Eren and Mel were very happy. They were both about how a newly married couple should live.
The day before the opening day, Eren decided to go to the barbershop. But on the way to the barber, he tripped for a second and fell to the ground.
Eren was embarrassed and his body automatically tried to stand up. Yet, with a sudden dizziness, he was unable to stand up. He found himself sitting on the ground.
He felt a TV tingling sound in his head that was so great, it was hard to concentrate on anything.
Is this a heart attack? Or a brain hemorrhage?
Eren panicked because he couldn't understand what was going on. And he caused an old man who was running to help him fall to the ground.
Ten seconds later, everything suddenly cleared up. Eren suddenly began to feel like he was breathing better.
[Congratulations! You've found planet B-46, stolen from the Evon Universe. You became the pioneer who showed the system the true location of this planet!]
[The Universe of Evon would like to give you two gifts for your help;]
[Touching Memory of Enigma(Passive Skill):
If you get lost anywhere with the Evon System, you can find out where you are.]
[Obtaining a Unique Class quest (1) - Locked :
During your Level 20 Job Selection, a specially crafted class will be created for you. If the required task is not done, one of the standard classes can be selected.
This quest is tied to the person who obtained it, it can't be transferred to anyone else!]
Eren felt as if he had been shot in the forehead. The Evon System, which he hadn't felt since coming here, was now working.
The stolen planet!
At first, he thought he had already digested the words. Then, with an even more disbelieving expression on his face, he tried to stand up.
HOW CAN YOU STEAL A PLANET???
Eren immediately thanked the old man who helped him and started walking back to his house as if nothing was wrong. He began to smile at the memories of a fantastic and exciting elven village. Some +18 memories were also increasing his longing.
I hope I can find my way back to the village.
Eren didn't understand how the Evon Universe connected with him. No matter how hard he thought, he would never know such important matters.
Fu*k it. I just want my Emily!
..
Ten minutes later, Eren was entering the upstairs bedroom of his house with Mel. They were both excited and held hands.
"I feel something inside that I haven't felt before. Did you notice it too, Eren?"
"No."
"I think there is mana in the room."
Eren opened the door with what he heard and looked at the wall where he had opened a gate before. Indeed, there was a strange black stain on the wall. It was as if it was a lightly flickering speck, and a gentle stream of air was coming out of it.
As Eren approached the wall, he parted his dry lips to say something he had tried many times over the past half hour. It didn't work back then.
"P..profile."
But this time something was different. It felt like it was connected to the system with a lag and bad internet connection. He started seeing his profile panel after a few seconds, albeit a little later than usual. The Evon Profile was in front of his eyes with the same colors and the same details.
Eren's heartbeat quickened. His eyes turned to his mana. The place that says 19 right now was very important.
*Health: 260/260 (26)
*Mana: 19/150 (15)
When Eren had used all of his mana, 150 of them, he had opened a door that remained open for only a few seconds. He was injured and careless. But he was still sure that he had used all of his mana.
But now he saw before his eyes that his mana had changed when he was 19/150.
"19...20"
"21"
"22"
He smiled widely when he saw his mana, which increased by 1 every five to ten seconds. Then he grabbed Mel, who was staring at him and hugged her with all his might. He was so elated that Eren didn't notice a small look of disappointment on Mel's face.
Already seconds later, Mel smiled, remembering that she was going to see her family.
Still, there was a little bitterness in her heart. A rival named Emily would join the race again, as the most beautiful and strong hot woman in the elf village.
The girl's eyes were constantly focused on Eren and his movements. She was deeply saddened when they opened a door for Evon and quickly crossed to the other side.
Mel had yet to take the final step with Eren.
If Eren knew what this girl was thinking, he probably wouldn't have known whether to laugh or cry.
..
There was a great commotion as they passed through the gateway to the elven village. The elves sitting in the cafe and restaurant with wine glasses in their hands sprayed their mouths.
"Hey, you spilled it on me!"
"I'm sorry Selena but..."
The owner of the cafe, Selena, was smiling even though her friend next to her sprayed wine on her face. Her anger lasted only a few seconds and was quickly gone. Her eyes lit up when she saw Eren and Mel together coming out of a magical door.
Especially seeing the new and high-quality clothes on Mel caused a lot of thought in her mind. She was a more skeptical and intelligent elf than the average. Selena might even be the strangest elf in this village.
Eren instinctively took Mel's hand as he greeted everyone and started running home.
He wasn't aware of what he was doing. He didn't know that a thousand thoughts were running through the mind of an excited and gasping girl behind him.
When he finally got to Emily's house, he looked at the closed door and smiled. "Let's go home." He wasn't paying attention to exactly what he was saying to Mel.
They opened the door and saw a woman sitting on the floor in the living room fiddling with the arrows in her hand.
Her blond hair was tied tightly with several thick hairpins. She was looking at the arrow in her hand as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. But it was clear her mind was elsewhere.
A look of anger appeared on her face when she heard the doorbell ring. She thought that the creature's attacks had begun and that the villagers had come to warn her.
She acted as a domineering and powerful hunter while turning her head.
But as soon as she saw Eren, all her authority and power were gone. She started to smile as if all her anger and troubles were gone in just a second.
"Hey!"
She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she couldn't find the right words as she jumped at Eren. She hugged him tightly and inhaled his scent.
A minute later, she was still hugging Eren tightly as he told him what had happened. She finally looked up and she saw Mel holding Eren's hand from behind.
More precisely, Eren grabbed the young girl's wrist and didn't let go.
..
An hour later, the three of them parted in front of Mel's parents' house.
Emily and Eren were on their way home, and Mel was about to have a long talk with her mother. Her mother and sister were constantly looking at the new clothes she was wearing, the two rings on her fingers, and her new necklace. The temporary tattoo on her arm shocked the two of them.
They were cheap gifts that Eren bought her during shopping times. But for the elves, it was a very flamboyant and interesting situation.
Just as Eren was about to enter the alley behind an old wooden house, Emily pushed him into a secluded spot among the trees.
She got on top of the fallen Eren and started kissing him.
First, two pairs of dried lips touched each other. For a long time, they just tasted touching each other again. Then Eren tightly wrapped his hands around the more private parts of this woman. In his arms, he kissed Emily's neck, ears, and every part of her face one by one.
"I miss you."
"Hmmm."
"It was so bad to think that I would never see you again."
Emily held herself for a few seconds and looked into Eren's brown eyes. "Are you sure you're not having a good time with another elf? I see you two became very close in a short time."
"Nothing happened between us." For now, Eren chose not to talk about the times they snuggled together and took a shower. He couldn't even describe the blissful bath times, especially when he touched Mel's entire body every day.
I don't want to die yet.
Emily saw that she had bothered enough the man she missed so much. She smiled.
"I was all alone without you. You promised you wouldn't leave me but..."
The elf woman who had bitten Eren's lips just a few seconds ago started to cry.
"Shhh...we're fine. There's no more trouble. We'll never be apart again."
When they got home that night, Eren couldn't have the "reunion sex" kind of fun he was waiting for. Emily was mentally unstable. One moment she was laughing, the next she was crying, and sometimes she just hugged Eren and stood still.
Eren told what had happened on Earth to confuse the girl who was feeling bad. He deliberately skipped parts with Mel, mostly talking about his family and his new job.
Emily told him that the village was in danger. Something was happening in the center of the forest, and anyway, it wasn't good news for the elves.
That night, as Emily slept, Eren realized that he had to make a new plan.
He now had responsibilities in both universes. He had to live two different lives.
He wanted to be a successful business person in one. It would be fun to work at your new job, at least until he can satisfy his ego.
In the other universe, he had to level up faster and help defend his elven village.
I guess we can say that I switched from "Normal mode to "Hell Mode".
I hope everything turns out well.
Since he didn't know to whom he should pray, he spoke to both the god he believed in on Earth and the Evon System Lady.
"Please help me live a good life with these innocent and sweet people. I can't stand the destruction of this village. All I want is to live a quiet and fun life. Please if anyone can hear me, help this cowardly person in these difficult times."
Eren hadn't heard yet. That a person from the village died to the creatures. If he had, his prayer would have been different.
He would ask the gods to help him become stronger or help him slaughter all the monsters.
He learned tomorrow morning that the kind-hearted Kelion, who had healed his wounds, had died.
By a wolf.
