GRETEL
"System, what can I buy with my skill point?" Gus asked.
You will get a random skill provided by the System.
Passive skills cannot be bought with skill points. Only either leveling up or unlocking certain conditions will your passive skills grow!"
"So, how do I level up?" asked Gus.
"The first option is by killing monsters. In the world of Circa, All living beings have Mana. The system consumes Mana to be generated into skills for the User!"
"The second is to perform special conditions and successfully completing missions the System provides!" replied the system.
Gus thought that since the system provides the skills randomly, then its best to spend them right away.
"I want to use the skill point system!"
"Certainly!... You obtained... Healing Armor!
Anybody who enters the suit will heal all their physical wounds no matter how critical the person's state is!" stated the system.
"A reminder user, Healing Armor CANNOT heal any ailments. It cannot heal the USER and it can only heal one person at a time. The amount of mana the user has will slowly turn into the patient's health points!"
It's certainly useful to Gus if he has companions. He thought he better look for a town later.
Gretel woke up and started to apologize to Gus for eating and sleeping so randomly.
"I'm sorry Mister! I didn't mean to eat all your food!" Said Gretel.
"Don't worry, it actually makes me happy that you were able to finish the whole thing. You can call me Gus if you like."
Nothing can make a cook any happier than to receive praise from his patron.
"Gretel, May I ask how you got in the castle? Did you come here alone?" asked Gus.
Gretel stood up and tried to tell her story as best as she can. Gus found it amusing that she cannot help herself to act out her story as she went along.
It turned out, Gretel was hired by the trio adventurer earlier to carry their loot. She only earns 5 copper per job. That was quite cheap for a service she risked her life for. They took advantage of Gretel's naivety.
As they were advancing in the castle, they got overrun by the rats. Unfortunately, Gretel twisted her ankle and got left behind. In a panic, she dropped her loot bag in the room where she also found a suit of armor to hide into. She couldn't handle the pain, so she passed out inside the armor. Gus couldn't help but felt sorry for her. She only forced herself to be a lowly carrier because her pay goes back to a run-down orphanage she stays at. Currently, the orphanage is managed by a young nun named Sarah. For some reason, The church stopped supporting the orphanage. Ms. Sarah felt sorry for the children, so she decided to stay behind to take care of them. The rest of the kids were too young to get a job so they were either picking flowers or berries in the dangerous forest to sell. Gretel decided to secretly take a job as a carrier behind Ms. Sarah's back hoping she could earn more. But sadly, she ended up with the trio.
A Problem has been troubling Gus for a while now. How can a monster enter a town without making a scene? The moment he shows up at their doorstep, the only thing that would greet Gus is a barrage of arrows or God knows what.
But if Gretel can introduce Ms. Sarah to her savior Gus, then maybe she can help him be introduced as an adventurer from the neighboring towns who lost his identification!
"Are you not afraid of me?" Gus nervously asked Gretel.
"I was. But now I'm not! Mishter Gus is a good Monster! Not like those stinky bad adventurers! They left poor Gretel behind!" Exclaimed Gretel fumingly as she touched her hurting ankles.
"Do your feet still hurt?" asked Gus.
Gretel nodded. "Yes it does hurt, but Gretel will be fine!"
Gus always wanted to try out his skill "Healing Armor."
"I can heal your ankle if you climb inside! I have magic that can heal it!"
Gus tried his best to ask this without spooking her out. But it's really just impossible! He would have just to rely on the goodness of her heart.
"OKAY!" Gretel's eyes shined bright as if she was watching a magic show.
She can fit inside the armor with the help of Gus' Space Magic.
A few minutes have passed, and Gretel excitedly exclaimed that her ankles don't hurt anymore! Such a useful skill.
"Gretel, Is it okay if I meet Ms. Sarah? I just want to ask her a few questions."
Gretel willingly agreed.
"Yes! My House is that way Mishter Gus! Let's go home!!!"
Gus smiled as Gretel treated him like a walking mechanical suit.
"So I'm a Gundam now?! (AUTHOR: owned by BANDAI. Sorry)
