Ambush

"So, ever thought of having a baby?!"

Jayden asked with a naughty smirk.

Mia didn't bother replying and casually flung him to the side like a ragdoll.

"Oh come on, a little hug won't hurt! It's freezing up here!"

Jayden said as he began shivering like he was suddenly thrown into an icy lake.

[You have obtained 'Fur coat'.]

"Put it on, it'll keep you warm and cozy"

Mia said as she floated beside Jayden.

"... Gosh! Now I feel hot!"

Jayden who had worn the classy looking, black thick fur coat, complained in distaste.

"Who do you think I am, your mom? It's either you put on the coat or deal with the cold. You should act more like the man you are"

Mia rolled her eyes and said.

"Now you're sounding like a mom!"

Jayden said as he clicked his tongue.

/Whoosh!/

A missile suddenly shot up from the forest below, towards Jayden who was now close to the peak of the thick forest below.

"Shit! I won't be able to dodge that before it gets to me! Just want you to know that I've always loved you, okay?"

Jayden said as he glanced at Mia with a bright smile.

"Useless..."

Mia mumbled to herself as she floated down to the missile, and used the tip of her index finger to halt it's flight.

"Are you showing off or what? There's no big deal..."

/Boom!/

[Life Saver passive skill activated!]

-

[WARNING: HP IN CRITICAL LEVEL!]

Jayden's view suddenly changed to that of large tall trees with gigantic mushrooms in a dark surrounding.

"I have two things to say to you Mia! I hate you! And what was that skill?"

Jayden asked with creased brow.

[Check your status.]

"Summon status!"

"Yeah! I remember! I got the skill from my survivor title back at the dungeon!"

Jayden exclaimed in surprise. 

"So tell me Mia, why I died when you shot me and when Cassae incinerated me?"

Jayden asked with a long face

[Maybe a glitch.]

"Yeah right? Whenever I get to speak with Goddess Elpis I sure won't forget to ask her why there are glitches in her world" 

Jayden said mischievously.

[If I hadn't blocked the skill, then you wouldn't have spawned on the island where a gate was, and wouldn't have learnt your lesson about 'always being ready to face the consequences of your actions'. So cool off!]

"Why does it feels like you're in control of my life?"

Jayden asked with a frown.

[Well, I am.]

"Screw you!"

[Says a virgin boy.]

"W-what? That's it! I'm done with you"

Jayden said with a grim expression and began heading in a random direction.

[You're heading in the direction the missile came from.]

"That's good; cause I wanna kick some ass"

[Why aren't you topping your intelligence stat? I think you really need it.]

"I have a talking Wikipedia with me, so I'd rather empower myself first"

Jayden replied with a shrug.

[What's a Wikipedia?]

"Check my brain library, knowledge section"

[It's empty.]

"Screw you one more time!"

Jayden voiced out with veins popping in his forehead.

[Shhh... Look.]

Jayden looked towards the area Mia was directing to with a bored look, and quickly crouched when he saw two men patrolling the area. One was armed with a rifle, and the other with a long sword.

-

[Mission: Take out the two men without alerting the other patrols or revealing yourself.]

Reward: Bottle of whiskey. 15 points.

Punishment: Unknown.

"You know how I like it Mia! Can you give me another Ski mask?"

Jayden had a wide grin on his face at seeing the first reward.

[Why?]

"To conceal my identity of course, the other got ragged"

[Did you try summoning it again?]

"Ohh, you stitched it up!"

Jayden exclaimed as he summoned a brand new Ski mask with similar design as the previous one.

[Everything I give you self repairs whenever they are unsummoned.]

"That's so cute of you"

Jayden said with a wide smile as he pulled the mask over his face.

[10 minutes left!]

"Wish me luck"

Jayden summoned his Galaxion Gunner in form of a Desert Eagle pistol with a silencer at the barrel. He then crawled closer using the waist-long grasses as camouflage, and was about to shoot the bald man armed with a rifle when his Galaxion Gunner disappeared from his hands before he could pull the trigger.

[Your Galaxion Gunner have confiscated till further notice.]

[You have obtained a Dagger.]

'Come on Mia! You're being to harsh on me!'

Jayden complained with red eyes.

[You're free to use your glock19 pistol.]

'Then give me a silencer'

[...]

"Annoying..."

Jayden mumbled to himself as he sneaked up behind the gunner with the jagged edged, long bladed dagger, and quickly clasped his mouth and nose fiercely with his palm, and drew the dagger across his throat.

[You have killed 'Baldie']

[You have leveled up!]

Jayden didn't let himself get distracted by the pop-up notifications and quickly summoned his throwing knife and flung it at the throat of the other man with accurate precision.

[You have killed 'whydidyoukillme']

"What the...?"

Jayden muttered in amusement at seeing the sword guy's username.

[Mission failed!]

[Lesson one; ALWAYS survey the area before revealing yourself.]

"W-what do you mean?"

/Shing! Shing! Shing!/
