CH 39

Alpha was baffled, he haven't experienced such a rapid improvements in years, to have acquired so many titles and skills in one night

But he couldn't care about any of them, the only one he was worried about, was the [one punch] skill

Just by swinging his fist, he would release such a tremendous Force, without mentioning that it was a passive skill, meaning he cannot control it

As a result, he can no longer stay in a community, otherwise he would be randomly releasing huge shock waves that can destroy entire cities

His dream of no longer being alone was at risk, but luckily he have previously learned how to suppress his passive skills

But still, the more skills he have to suppress the harder it gets, so as a precaution he decided to keep his hands flat open all the time, never closing them to a fist

This way his newly acquired skill will not activate.... probably

Putting that aside, he didn't want to stay in the forest any longer, cause the more he stare at the destruction he have caused, the more anxious he will get

So he used his Mana Zone to look for the closest human settlement, once he located one, he teleported somewhere near it, where no one could see him, then he walked casually towards the entrance

There were a couple of guards watching it, but they didn't cause him any problems, he just walked through the front door, and what a view

He saw a crowded marketplace, full of all sorts of people and shops

He couldn't help but to run around looking at everything that the city can offer with a bright smile on his face, as if a country bumpkin is visiting the big city for the first time

Not like he could care about his time in the first place, his sightseeing trip continued with no signs of stopping

And before he could notice, it was already sunset, most people are in their homes having dinner with their families, the streets grow quieter, and the shops start closing

Once he noticed that, he couldn't help but to feel a sense of loneliness, he just remembered that he's all alone in this newfound City, he doesn't have friends, he doesn't have family, and more importantly, he doesn't have money, he is still wearing the same clothes from 5 years ago

He knew he had to find a job, but sadly, the shops are all closed, he wasted too much time sightseeing

The only thing he could do right now was to find a clean corner somewhere, and crouch there waiting for the night to pass, and yes, ''wait'' it's not like he could just sleep it off

After spending 5 years without sleeping, his body completely lost the ability to do so

Now he's left with no other choice but to wait, and what a long wait that was, he was so full of excitement and anticipation to make new friends, to no longer have to be alone, to finally be able to have fun with other people

He didn't expect that his excitement was the thing that kept him alone for longer, now adding to his loneliness he couldn't help but to feel sadness and regret

But he knew that tomorrow will be a better day, as soon as the sun rise, and the shops open, he would immediately go looking for a job, get some money, buy new clothes, and maybe even find a new home

Little did he know that he doesn't need to wait that long, as a kind looking man was passing by, when he noticed the feeble look of alpha, being all skinny, dirty, and alone

He couldn't help but to talk to him "hey buddy, are you okay, do you need some help"

Alpha was startled "huh!? I...uhh..." he was lost for words, he haven't talked to anyone for a very long time, even his conversation with the princess wasn't that long

Seeing him being unable to talk properly, the kind looking man pitted him "hey, why don't you come and spend the night at my place? the soup my wife make is the best in the world! I guarantee it!"

Alpha Was moved, he can finally enjoy the warmth of a home, the warmth of a happy family, the warmth of not being alone

He tried to say yes, but the happiness was too overwhelming, the only thing he could do was cry with a happy smile on his face and nod, he didn't know how to react to the kindness shown to him

Because of the sad site of alpha, the kind man couldn't help but to look at him in pity, so he patted his shoulder and said "come on, let's get you something warm to eat"

Still not being able to reply, the only thing Alpha could do was nodding

In the end, he stood up and followed the kind man back home, but on the road, after he finally calmed down he realized something really embarrassing

The kind man that's helping him is the first friend he ever made in this world, and to think that the first impression he gave him was the site of a 20 year old man crying? damn how can he look him in the eyes after that
