Chereads / The ELF's epic Journey / Chapter 8 - Death on a platter of GOLD

Chapter 8 - Death on a platter of GOLD

"I miss my world." Nador spoke with sadness as he helplessly stared at the screen, then back to his body.

"At least give me a bigger body. How do you want me to do shit with this tiny ass body!"

"Where is your mummy." Caterina spoke, breaking the silence between the three, ignoring the presence of Luke with her Aloof attitude.

"Mummy and big sis?" With a quick witted act, he portrayed a helpless child before the emo girl while silently sketching out his plans.

According to the games plot, every single heroine has their own separate 'ACTs' where the player builds relationship with them respectively for the players to understand the various ways of dealing with each and every heroine's emotional strength and weaknesses. They are not spaghettis dancing to the tunes of the player, no, they have feelings too.

So now Nador's here wondering how the fuck he'll achieve any of that with his toddler like appearance.

"Yes, Mummy and big sis, where are they?" Caterina asked while playing with Nador's cheeks to ease his discomfort from the bad man on the ground.

'Am I a ghost?' Luke couldn't help but wonder how on earth did he get entangled and then discarded as nothing but a piece of leather.

"Vweee-I-Pee (VIP)." Nador said with a smile but inwardly rolling his eyes at his act.

'This is embarrassing!'

Without bothering to take another glance on the fallen protagonist, Caterina left the scene with Nador in her arm, leaving the confused protagonist.

'What was with the long tension?' He thought before picking himself up and dashing the other direction upon seeing the mob of angry guards chasing after him.

Over at Nador's position sat three plates of delicacies with Caterina sitting before him. The silence and the tense frown was as eerie as can be.

Caterina's hand slowly reached for the table knife making Nador flinch in fear, but he made sure to keep his composed look. Her hands slowly approached the side of the plate and picked up a fork before hovering above the plate as a deity's descension upon a barren dark land.

With ruthlessness, she stabbed the fork on the poor grilled pork and began slashing furiously as blood (sauce) splashed everywhere.

"?!" With swift, unreadable motion, the fork was shoved into Nador's open mouth before retracting back within that very second, leaving his cheeks puffed up with the meat.

(Now that my dear friends is how warriors eat!)

Nador could only helplessly stare at the crazed chick with sadness as the continous notifications from her status made his heart throb in distress.

'Why are you loving me!?' Nador complained as the potential yandere rating for him kept on increasing and increasing, ultimately sealing his fate.

The protagonist has yet to unlock his bloodline, and once he does that, the assigned heroines of the game would fall in love with him at the slightest moment be it via a simple conversation or his usual action. No matter how many times Nador had played the game, the females would always fall in love with Luke. And what do you think would happen to the previous relationship the females had?

Death! Death is the only outcome to those poor fellows. But it seems like the system doesn't want him die a peaceful death.

[Ding!]

[+50 (what are you even doing to get such love?)]

Nador couldn't help but sigh in depression as his fate had been already sealed. There's no turning point from here.

His hands caught hold of the cheeks of Caterina who sat opposite him, due to the height difference, Nador was positioned on the table itself rather than the chair which Caterina sat, and drove his lips against her's.

[Ding!]

[+90 (Host seems eager to sign his death certificate.)]

[Quest: What's your's is MINE!!!]

[First kiss of a heroine.]

[Rewards: Tears of Persephone.]

(Please check the quest and rewards interface to obtain your reward.)

Seems like Nador's hunch was on point. The crazy system truly wished him death on a platter of gold!

The kiss was not more than 3 seconds as Nador quickly broke the kiss and hastily yet grudgingly swiped the notification. To others, it was a symptom of craziness but to him it was just to clear his view as the pop-up notifications was blocking his view.

Caterina remained stunned as her hands unconsciously hovered her lips before staring at the elven boy before her.

'I-I heard ELF's age slower than humans, and he seems to be five, so does that mean..... No, No, No, No! What are you thinking Caterina! He is the perfected One who is made for only the Mother of all!'

If Nador could've read thoughts, then he surely would have coughed up blood and pass on to the afterlife. Who is the mother of all? Well she's the final and shall I say most overpowered Villainess to have ever lived in the gaming multiverse! Players have always complained about the games difficulty, especially when it comes with the final boss who can destroy galaxies with a flick of her finger.

'Moreover, he's still a child... I can't harbour such thought for a child.' She silently muttered, giving Nador a blow to the back of his ego.

'Why do I feel hurt?'

While she was facing her inner demons, Nador had a battle with the system while gave him cruel and emotionless replies.

"Stupid system! You dare slander a shota-con!"

(Please host, refrain from lying to yourself.)

"What do you mean you mechanical bag of shit!"

Upon hearing the system abominable request for money, Nador quickly backed out with his tail in-between his legs.

"W-What's your name child" It was at this moment that Caterina discovered she doesn't know the name of the perfected One.

It took Nador a moment to process what he heard from her.

'You took a child away without knowing his name? That's kidnapping!'

"Nador Vannyael." Nador said with confidence and a toothy smile.

Caterina was silently confused as to why the name Vannyael sounded so familiar.

[Tears of Persephone: A unique gray colored pair of earrings in shape of an orb. Originated and enchanted from the very tears of goddess of Illusions and Nightmares.]

'Again with the question marks! Can't this author make up his mind for once?'
