Anna is a housewife. In the Marus Forest, both men and women live by hunting. So housewives are rare. Anna's husband is a Peacekeeper, so her days are going well. When her husband came, they both ate, had some fun, and went to sleep. But they didn't know that today's Night was going to be their most Horrific Night ever.
Anna and her husband were sleeping soundly when suddenly a creaking sound could be heard beneath their bed. At first, they both didn't notice, but slowly the creaking got louder, and Anna woke up in confusion.
She looked around in confusion and checked under the bed.. Nothing. She went back to sleep. But the sound came back. This time from a pot. Dong..Dong.. A rythmic sound came out of that pot. Anna woke up again. But this time, she was not confused anymore.
Anna woke up her husband to check the pot. Her husband, clearly irritated by the disturbance, reluctantly checked the pot. Inside the pot was.. Nothing. Her husband didn't hide his irritation and went to sleep, but Anna was not able to.
After some time, she heard a scream from outside and abruptly sat down. Her husband also woke up at that sound. He was ignoring all those noises, but he couldn't ignore that scream. Both husband and wife opened the window and watched outside.
There they saw the most Horrifying thing in their lives. A Dreadful-looking corpse with multicoloured lights started rising from the ground, And it vanished as if it had never appeared in the first place.
The husband abruptly closed the door in fright. He, a 4th Transformation warrior and didn't sense a thing from that creature. He asked his wife, "What the hell was that?"
Anna answered with a stuttering voice, "I saw a boy burying a corpse in that place a few days ago. Maybe that corpse came back to life."
"Don't be ridiculous. There are no such things as ghosts." The husband chided on Anna and closed the window. What they didn't know was that two people were laughing their guts out on their roof. Dan and Legacy couldn't stop their laughter looking at the play they created.
"Hey! Someone is laughing on the roof." Anna said to her Husband.
"Shut up; there is no one. Just go to sleep." Her husband berated her. But he is screaming in fright In his mind.
Jumping from the roof Dan started walking towards the inn. Although nighttime in the Marus forest is dangerous, inside the settlement it is relatively safe. Dan, still in camouflage, arrived at the inn. He entered his room through the window.
Today was an exhausting day. He ransacked an entire storage room. Blamed all of that on a Dead person. Went around the settlement causing trouble as a ghost. And finally created a scenario to complete all the dots. Really today was a real Exhausting day.
Is it going to work? As I said before, Fear Always Works.
Oblivious to what his little play will do in the upcoming days. Dan went to sleep. He is going to check his loots tommorw. For now he will have his well deserved Sleep.
Morning came and Dan woke up early as usual. Had breakfast as usual but there was something that was not same as usual. Rumours about a ghost in 7th settlement is spreading like a wildfire. Dan heard them along the way but acted as a bystander.
After reaching his hunting place he threw the bags away on the ground. Dan commanded Legacy in his mind to scan the whole surroundings.
"No Human life signatures are found in a radius of 2 kilometres" Answered Legacy in Dan's mind.
Getting confirmation from Legacy he asked, "Give me the details about yesterday's loot." Dan ordered.
"A total of 78 scripts, 18 Arut Fruits, 39 Tors Lotuses, 35 martial arts Manual, 17000 small udra coins, 6000 large udra coins, 41 Normal weapons and finally 2 Blessed Weapons. That is all." Answered Legacy.
Dan ignored everything and summoned the Blessed Weapons first. A great sword as big as him appeared in front of him and a bottle made of stone appeared in his hand. He studied them carefully. He tried to make the great sword glow, like how sir Alex did but failed. Same was for the bottle.
"Oi Legacy! How do I activate this thing?" Dan asked Legacy.
"Why are you asking me? I am not a native to this world. I am sensing 2 Nav-crystals from the great sword and one from that bottle. I can analyse them for you if you want. Most importantly can I absorb some energy from those?" Legacy replied.
" You can. But do not break them. Also run an Analysis on them." Dan said.
Legacy started absorbing energy from those weapons greedily. As Dan was checking other loots Legacy asked an Interesting question, "Hey Dan! You said the 1st Transformation scripts are free right. Then why a businesswoman like Jelena, had a bunch of 1st Transformation scripts in that place."
Dan stayed silent for a bit hearing that question. He sighed and answered, "I never said the 1st Transformation scripts are free. I only said that, othersiders distribute them for free. But.. they only distribute a limited amount of them. Those who can collect it in time are lucky. Those who can't.. let's not mention it. Even though children between the age of 5-15 can collect them, Most children will get their hands on them by the age of 12 or 13."
Dan continued, "When there is demand. There is Business. Merchants started importing scripts and sometimes even collected them illegally to sell for coins. My father wanted to get a Script for me early. So he joined the Expedition. Never came back. Boss also tried but failed in the end.
During a Celebration in 1st settlement, My Boss met Lord Morita. He was living in the 1st settlement after coming back from Main Land. They were both happy to see each other. The next day Lord Morita came to live in 7th settlement as the supervisor. He was also the man who gifted me a 1st Transformation script. I was 12 at that time."
"Even in this world there is no such thing as Fairness."Legacy said in a discontent tone. Legacy understood what Dan meant.
"Haas". Dan smirked and said, "If there was fairness I would not have stole that fruit from Hesta. If there was Fairness, Cauli would not have killed his teammates. If there was.. Fairness peacekeepers would not have killed Cauli."
"Nature blessed everyone with opportunity. Everyone can enjoy Nature's treasures. But you know what...
Nature is FAIR. Nature is JUST. But, Humans are NOT.
As they were immersed in talking a sudden crack could be heard. Dan woke up from his stupor and saw that, once Beautiful great sword now have many cracks and the faint Halo of light it was giving also disappeared. The great sword is now broken.
Dan screamed on top of his lungs, "You broke my sword."
