Loren POV:

* Birds Chirping *

" ... "

No matter how many times I think about it... this skill is amazing. Since that day, sleeping have turned into my favorite part of the day.... the calmness... it is such a beautiful feeling that I missed since my childhood.

" Hmm? "

What is that? I don't remember leaving anything on my des..?! That's?! A letter?!

' Not believing my own eyes ' I rushed towards the desk to confirm what I saw.

{ Hello Loren, It has been a while }

" I-It's that person.. ' Anonymous ' didn't forget about me! "

{ I must say, I really am amazed at how talented you are, you probably feel closer to B rank by now. }

Yes... I didn't waste anytime... the only thing I do beside studying and eating is training my daggers arts.. still I am weak in offense. Although the dagger arts I managed to get are good, but still they are nothing compared to what I need.

{ I sent you a gift for your efforts. I thought that maybe what you lack for now is an offensive skill. }

What? Another gift? Also offense? Have you seen what I lacked? Were you watching me this whole time? B-but why are you bothering with me.... don't you know who I'm after? Why? Why is it that you are even helping me? Isn't what I am doing wrong?

{ Again, I have no intention on deciding your fate. It's up to you to do whatever you want, just know that the real victim in this whole thing is you. Whether you leave them or seek revenge is all up to you. }

What even Is this answer? Are you not going to stop me? Are you not going to tell me that what I'm doing is wrong? Then are you saying I should do it? I know that my mother would hate this. why are you being such an ambiguous and mysterious person? ... just tell me.....I need someone to talk to....

{ After all, It is your decision and not mine. But please be careful with your choices. I hate to see a talented person like you lose their mind. The path in vengeance would be filled with hardships. }

" Talented person....."

' Loren... you are nothing but a weak leech in my house '

' Cousin...Pfft... you are lucky that you even got into that academy... tell me... did you use your body to fool the academy staff? just like your dead mother who managed to fool my father with her lowly body? Hahahah! ' 

" I'm talented ? "

{ Please use the skill with care.

Your friend, ' Anonymous ' }

The more dexterity the owner has the faster and more lethal the attack becomes. Cooldown effect is 1 day after usage of the spell. The user must be a female to use the skill. }

" S?! Rank!! "

W-what?! This is not a dream right?! S rank!! This is a treasure!

" Thank You....Thank you so much..."

To give me such a skill... I will make sure that I repay this person... there's no way that the Hermes would give such a valuable treasure... but how did this ' Anonymous ' obtain such a treasure? And why would they give it away?

" I will test it out. If you can hear me, then Thank you for this gift! "

Harold's POV:

" Haab! Haab! "

[ Daily mission: 1000 Swings have been completed! ]

[ Your strength slightly have improved! ]

" This thing is great "

I have no idea why the system is acting this way, but the more power I have the better.....

[ Ding! A new mission is available! ]

[ The Sleeping Beast ] [ Mission Difficulty: B ]

Description:

[ Inside a cave in a deserted part of the ' western great wilderness'. there is an unknown beast that is hibernating. The beast current rank is B, but after the beast wakes up the rank will raise into an S rank! Kill the beast before it evolves and claim the reward. 

Reward: a Legendary swordsmanship martial arts ]

"Hmm? A new mission? "

What? This one seems difficult... B rank... I can't risk it. I just recently have entered C rank. Going to fight a B or perhaps an A rank monster is just a suicide...

" ?!! This ! Legendary?! "

I heard that a legendary grade is so rare that it is not easy to get even with a lot of money... 

" It even give things like this? "

I have no I dea who and why would give me such privilege, but I will make the most of it... for now I should focus on the dungeon hunt in tomorrow's morning. It's a D rank dungeon, so it shouldn't be a problem for me.
