Chapter-4: I Meet The Yekolev Twins

I walked towards the shop keeper and I took out my Dekij bag and took out the gem. "Here, is this what you are looking for?" I asked as I handed over the gem to the man. "Hmm, this seems to be what I have been looking for. Thank you for helping me, and for in return, I shall gift you something special made by me." the shop keeper handed me over a scarf made out of Dekij. "Why is this made out of Dekij? What is the reason?" I asked the shop keeper. "It is made out of Dekij because to protect your neck from curses given by a Dekij. Though this is a protection level one Dekij scarf, it will give you a one layer protection made of Dekij. It will help you in battling in the future." I thanked the shop keeper for the kindness and left the shop.

I found a 'Mission Board' option in my menu. An exclamation mark was above the option 'Mission Board' and that meant that there was a notification for a new mission. I clicked it and a map appeared on my hand. "Oh! A map! Let's see..." the map said showed some kind of direction to the Gluttony Empire. This place was nothing like The Kingdom Of Gluttony, in fact, this was just the one fourth of the half of the real 'Empire Of Gluttony', it was not even a 'Kingdom'. I looked at my pocket, I was an absolute beggar I guess. "WHAT THE HELL! I AM A TOTAL BEGGAR AT THE MOMENT!! What do I do, what do I do, WHAT DO I DO!?" I just screamed in the crowd but thank god no one heard me. I heard a bell sound from my inventory. It was a notification from the Mission Board. It gave me an other task to do. "God, how much task will they give me now?" I sighed and started reading the task. The task was to go to Jeviva's Workshop with the tree bark from the Grand Tree Lekiad. This was my first grand kill.

A grand kill is to kill major enemies and not side opponent like the guard I killed, that was not a grand kill. If I kill the King Of Euphoria then that is a grand kill. I took out the Kingdom Of Gluttony's map and tried to find where the Grand Tree Lekiad location was. It seemed to be out of zone and was not inside the border of Kingdom Of Gluttony. I tried to ask everyone if they knew where it could have been, but everyone refused it except of Mr. Jeviva. I had no other way but to go to Mr. Jeviva's Workshop.

I reached his Workshop and entered it. "Hello? Is Mr. Jeviva there?" I asked for if Mr. Jeviva was there or not. I waited for so long for someone's response and someone responded, a very gentle looking man with glasses on and he had crystal green eyes, deep brown hair and a workshop apron on. "Yes, were you calling me?" the man responded. I got up from the chair and replied, "Oh yes, are you Mr. Jeviva?", the man got back a little and became quite upset after I said that. The man replied, "No... I am not Jeviva. Jeviva is my brother. I am Zekiva." I put my palm on my forehead and apologized for calling him by the wrong name. He replied with, "It's fine..." I asked, "Would you mind telling me why you became upset after I asked you if your name was Jeviva?" Mr. Zekiva answered, "Oh actually my brother is very abusive, he is my older twin that's why." I nodded my head and asked, "What kind of abusive?... I am sorry if I am asking you a personal question!" Mr. Zekiva didn't answer to that question, he just stood still.

"Okay, you don't have to answer to that question but just tell me where Mr. Jeviva is." I asked Mr. Zekiva. Mr. Zekiva answered, "He is in the bathroom..." I told him to inform me when he comes out. Mr. Zekiva went to the bathroom but he was there for quite a long time. And when he came back, he came with a slap mark on his left cheek. I got up once again from the chair and asked, "Is he out?" Mr. Zekiva was like "..." Mr. Zekiva came and sat down on his chair in front of work desk which was facing his brother's work desk. Mr. Zekiva sat and hid his face with his forehead in the desk and his hands on top of his head. I could hear sniffing sounds from Mr. Zekiva. I couldn't understand anything.

"Hello young man, why are you here?" a man asked who looked just like Mr. Zekiva but without glasses and his hair slicked backwards with hair gel. I was totally shocked about knowing that this calm man was described abusive by his younger twin brother. "Oh um, you must be Mr. Jeviva right?" I asked timidly. "Yes, you have guessed it right. I am Jeviva Yekolev and my younger brother is him" Mr. Jeviva pointed at Mr. Zekiva " Zekiva Yekolev." Mr. Jeviva gave me a sweet smile and told me to sit. "So why are you here?" Mr. Jeviva asked. I replied, "Oh um, I am here because I am quite new here, in this kingdom, I have never been here before so I needed a place to stay and get shelter. I have no one here so that means that I have no related location here. I just know that you can give me shelter at your place, that's all the reasons I can say." Mr. Jeviva nodded and got up, went to Mr. Zekiva and told him to get up. Mr. Zekiva got up very teary and Mr. Zekiva wiped his tears with his apron. "Don't cry, I am very sorry for behaving like that with you this morning. The slap mark is still there. I am very sorry for slapping you. You should get up now, I am sorry once again." Mr. Jeviva whispered.
