"You see,I asked the police but they had no idea so I thought maybe you knew," her smile kept on giving Kim Dohyun bad feeling and he started to shake a little,holding his hand from continuing it.
"I'm sorry Ms.Park! I was asleep and did not realize you knocked," Kim YeJoon,Dohyun's father,quickly pushed Dohyun away gently as he saw the state he getting into.
Kim YeJoon workings in Master Guild as a regular office worker,so he knew what happened near his son's school as well as the deceased. Some of them were Dohyun's on classmates,friends,and childhood friends.
Two of them were his truly best friends. The three of them grew up together in the same place and study in middle and high school together. No one could spread them from enjoying each other's company.
"Why wouldn't Dohyun bring some water to Ms.Park?" The hint was clear as water,and Kim Dohyun quickly want inside. As soon as the door shut down behind him,he broke down sitting with his legs to his chest,hugging them deep.
[Remainder! Host must complete his mission in order to grow stronger and not take any penalty]
[Mission:Kill the monsters in Seoul city and defeat the Boss]
[Time left:10 hours and 33 minutes]
Kim Dohyun heard loud and clear the sound of this annoying System,knowing damn well what it want from him. Kim Dohyun was a weak sprite teen to begin with,giving this much pressure and mission is really out of his comfort zone.
He looked up to see the System window and a familier Ally,the Cat. Kim Dohyun looked at the Cat and thought for a second-this cat does not have a name.
The fact that the cat goes around woth him all day and not having a name to it felt quite weird to him as to the fact that the cats in his street was named by him.
Kim Dohyun put his finger on his chin and started the thought process,completely forget the mission alert infront of him.
The cat was orange,
Hmmmm
And it was annoying,
Hmm
Orange!
That's the name of the cat from now on,Orange!
A smile appears on his teary face as he looked at the cat,taking it to his arms and hugging it.
[System notification]
[System name has been updated!]
[Sytem name:____]
[System name:Orange]
Hmm?
Kim Dohyun looked at the cat at his hand,"You were the System?!" He shouted out loud completely forgetting the mission he was given to by his dad before,alerting him.
"Dohyun!" Dad warning was stronger than any force in the universe as Kim Dohyun quickly got up and bought the glass of water he was ordered to a long time ago.
He wiped his face from the tears to look like he did not cry infront of his dad to not worry him overtime as he already was too busy with life.
Looking last time at the mirror to confirm he looked normal,he grabbed the poor glass of water and walked outside to Ms.Park.
Orange quickly followed the kid as the poor woman took a sip out of the glass to see the cat sitting on the kid's shoulders.
Her smile was big enough to stop a babu from crying,to perish evil from the world.
"It's seems this cat really like Dohyun," she said.
Kim YeJoon looked behind him to see his son,but...no cat?
"Haha it's seems like Ms.Park it too tired and now she imagined things," he smiled even though he really thought she was mentally weird woman.
What cat she imagine now? Dohyun is just holding the empty glass of water she slipped from.
Ms.Park expression gave Dohyun a chill on his back.She look at him with a gaze of inhuman thing as if she size him up and down like one do before earing one's a good spicy chicken.
Before Kim Dohyun said a word,all of Ms.Park body bones cracked one by one,and her smile grew way bigger than any human being could do,revealing a very sharp set of tooth. Blood dripped down from her mouth and eyes,as if all of her face starts to change in force of an unknown being.
He saw the image as his dad still looked at him searching the cat the woman talked about to no avail.
Ms.Park lift her arm with a sound of a broken bone to the air, Kim Dohyun saw the image,running towards his dad.
"Dad!" Kim dohyun quickly shouted and pushed his father away,protecting him with his own body. Ms.Park strike a hit on Kim Dohyun's side and blow him away to the neighbors house.
"Dohyun!" Lying down from the push,Kim YeJoon quickly shouted after hearing a bang from his son's loction.
"I need you now to go to sleep," Ms.Park's voice was twisted,like a two voices of completely different people mixed in.
As she said,Kim YeJoon's vision became blurry as he quickly pass down straight after seeing Dohyun lying down in ruins.
Kim Dohyun looked at the sky and slowly his vision became red from the blood that dropped from a open wound on his forehead but somehow it did not hurt much.
He slowly got up,realized he could stand with no problem and looking forward to see a familier view
[System notification! Player low health trigger the Immortal Being skill allowing the Player to stay alive until his health goes back to normal percentage]
[System notification! Player low health trigger the skill Help From Another World allowing to automatically summoned all Player's Allies]
[System notification!due to Player low health Orange had to step in to avoid an End]
End? That word was bold in red,as if warned Kim Dohyun from continuing any further in the battle,as if Orange telling him to step down.
"What a fucking useless piece of human trach you are," A familier tone of curses came from a figure who stand in front of Kim Dohyun while he still trying to see as his view was covered in red.
Hawl was annoyed to death by the fact that he was Forced Summon in the middle of his business one can not speak of,as it explains the cat he looks.
But to no one concern,Hawl was a magical being summoning a piece of clothes was much easier than breathing air.
Taking his sword that was stuck to the ground after hitting it hard from anger,he looked at his pitiful low life Master of his.
But a weird thing happened to that thing. The wounds that were deeper than ever,as it could kill any human,began to heal in an amazing speed as if it never existed to begin with.
Hawl never saw a human that could heal itself that easily,what a weird little human.
Kim Dohyun wiped blood from his nose as he looked around him to understand what happened to him. When looking around he saw his unconscious father lying down in a place where the ruins did not get to.
"Dad!" Quickly standing up,he ran towards him. As he got there,he saw his father was not injured in any way and only fainted,a sigh of relief slipped his mouth when a voice from behind him quickly answered that.
"Huh!what a pathetic human you are! Unable to protect the one that important yo you," Hawl was an annoying bastard that could not shut his mouth even for a second in favor of seeing Kim Dohyun being relaxed down in this situation.
Kim Dohyun was so missed by that comment as he could not shut his mouth anymore in front of his Ally. He did not care for the continously warning of Orange to calm down and be friendly with his Ally.
[System reminder! Master must have a good relationship with his Ally in order to have the full potential out!]
"You know since I've Summon you, you never acted as I'm your master," Kim Dohyun could not let his own Ally to keep talking to him like that.
"Be stronger than me,then you will have the right to speak like that"
Kim Dohyun stayed slince,defeated by thar line as if it hit his heart like a sword. Every single word Hawl said was true,a Master that weaker than his Ally does not have the power to control them.
Kim Dohyun opened his Trait list window for the first time after Orange introduced it to him.
Unimaginable number of traits appeared infront of him,the words became smaller and smaller the more it wrote the names of traits.
[Due to countless words,Orange decided to summarize the most important ones to Player's style of fighting]
[ • Agility 2. [ • Intelligence 4
• Flexibility 1. • Intuition 2
• Stamina 9. • Charisma 0 ]
• Speed 5 ]
The numbers were lower than ever. Even an average low ranker Hunter have a higher set of Traits so how his own was this low?
It means that he really is even weaker than the weak average Hunter. Kim Dohyun's little ego was shredded as that person was right all along,he indeed was way too weak than his own Ally.
But how could that be as he was able to Summon such a being to begin with of he was that weak? He should at least be able to Summon a goblin by the book.
Hawl started at the surprised face of his little human Master of him. It seems like just now he realized how weak he is,how pathetic.
[You should not be worry so much about the low number!]
Orange jumped down from Kim Dohyun's shoulder and sat down infront of him with a little smile on it lips,licking it's paw.
[This is the soul reason I'm next to you]
