Arthur smirked, his stats were vastly superior and he couldn't be happier for the other party's short fuse. As Arthur looks up from the stats, Raina begins counting down from 3.

2...

1!

Arthur runs full sprint towards Will. To his surprise he almost trips, but quickly recovers. Not being used to his new strength was a problem.

Will smiles at Arthur's inexperience. Will often fought at the new nearby tavern, so he could often tell when someone was new to fighting. Arthur throws a hand out, Will ducks and jabs into Arthur's side. The punch connects and Will smirks.

Arthur feels a small poke on the side of his stomach. He looks down at Will, grabs his shoulder lighting quick, lowers his head next to his ear "That's the absolute best you can do?" he mockingly whispers.

Will tears away from Arthur's half-assed grasp and kicks him while shouting "I don't think you know what I can do" Arthur grabs the kick that was directed at his side and stares at him with his red piercing eyes. Which were previously being covered by his pitch black hair. "I don't think I care"

Will's heart drops when he realizes who he is fighting. "How did y-" He manages to get out before Arthur throws him to the ground. He tries to get up from the ground, but is quickly denied by a foot on his back.

Raina begins running towards Arthur who smiles "I'm gonna enjoy this!" he shouts as he lifts his foot and slams it down on Will's back, a devastating crunch taking everyone who was watching by surprise.

Raina jumps to Arthur, hitting him on his shoulder. "Leave him alone!" Arthur tilts his head back and stares at her while tilting his head back with a grin. His red eyes piercing her very soul.

Raina steps back "A-Arthur" Arthur nods, then speaks "Relax, now that I've permanently incapacitated your boyfriend for the rest of his life. I'm satisfied, don't make that change."

Arthur knew this for sure, because of one of the changes that had happened on Will's status.

Health{60% Permanant damage to: Spinal cord

Arthur steps off Will and suddenly a pop up comes in front of him.

----

----

His eyes widen, but in an attempt to not look so shocked he says something he'd been wanting to say for a while

"There, payback for making my girl wait for me. She was crying when I found her, you know"

He steps away and towards the orphanage again, entering the double doors and the first thing he sees is a certain girl with her arms crossed in front of him.

"Arthur, that wasn't acceptable."

Arthur turns from Allison to look at Raina that was crying on her knees next to Will's limp body. A churning feeling starts in his stomach.

----

MORAL DILEMMA

Choose who you want to be, a cruel tyrant or a gentle king.

-Help William

-Leave William

----

Arthur sighed because to him it wasn't a dilemma, but rather an obvious choice. He looked back at Allison, who was still angrily standing there and then presses "help William" to end this headache.

----

Ability gained!

Mild healing

----

Arthur walks over to Will's limp body and presses his hand while Raina screams and punches him.

As He presses his arm on the impact point on Will's spine, a light white glow emits from his hand.

-Will's spine damage has changed from permanent to recoverable.

"There, now let him rest and he should be fine." he says while angrily grunting to himself and walking back to Allison.

"I didn't even know you could do that, but good job." She said while wrapping him in a hug.

"Only for you" He said while hugging her back.
