"Lucas, I want to talk to you about something."
Dinner had just ended, and Lucas was contemplating how to spend his night when he didn't need to sleep.
"It's alright, Jerry. Stuff happens," Lucas said to Jerry, who wore an embarrassed expression.
After reading the very emotions someone was feeling, it was harder to not tell whether the person was serious or not.
Although his emotions were in turmoil, Lucas could tell that the man was serious again.
"I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I was supposed to protect you as the tank, not the other way around. I just want to promise that a day like that won't come again," Jerry said, his face serious. Lucas smiled, patted Jerry's shoulder, and walked away from the conversation.
Lucas's plans were ready; now, he only needed to lay the foundation for others to follow and help advance the territory.
From that day, most of Lucas's time was spent completing dungeon stages.
