Mystery

Chapter 4:

When I read my description I felt shocked, a brief rush of relief rushed through me.

While I didn't know why they placed me here, at least I got to know I had parents.

I sighed, who could they be?

Quest Alert!

Find out who your parents are!

Objective:

Find out the name of your father!

Choose how long you have:

1 Month (10000 EXP, 1 Gacha Token, ?, ?, ?)

6 Month (1000 EXP, 1 Gacha Token, ?, ?,)

1 Year (500 EXP, ?)

Failure:

Never being able to find out who your parents are

[Accept/ Decline]

I pressed the 1 month option and accepted, I mean wouldn't it be obvious? Plus I have a hidden card up my sleeve.

I started pondering, the system already gave me a clue. The pureblood is a male, also some families can't have any more children such as Longbottom.

Hmm… I went back to thinking why I was put in the orphanage.

If it was one of the more bigoted families, it would make sense. They wouldn't want an heir that has 'filthy' blood in them.

But at the same time I could just be a product of a one-night stand or maybe they did it to protect me? I was dubious of my last question, but it was still an outcome to the question.

Running my hand though my hair I called out "status". And put 5 points into LUK, 3 into INT and 2 into WIS.

Allen King is an orphan, he has been reincarnated into this world with the P-System. He does not know his parents of this world but he knows his family: the people at the orphanage. He is a half-blood, the heir of the Ancient and Most Noble household of ?

It wasn't a big difference to be honest but I could still feel it.

I read my description again, this time looking at everything, trying to find a clue until I found it.

He is a half-blood, the heir of the Ancient and Most Noble household of ?

"Yes!" With this I might be able to narrow down the search. Which houses already have an heir or heiress?

"Greengrass, Longbottom, Abbott, Fawley, Ollivander…" I counted down all of the pureblood families that couldn't have had an heir, either because they already had one or couldn't have one.

The only ones that remained were: Prewett and Black, I looked intantly at the two names I had written on a piece of paper. It was one of these two families, I belonged to one of them.

I breathed out a once again, times like this I wish I had a cigarette, I still had one more month to find out who my father was so it was fine if I couldn't find it out in one night.

"Al, come down its nearly dinner time" I heard Sarah's voice from the hallway, oh, it's already dinner time?

"Sure, I'll be done in a bit" I called back down, I went to the bathroom across the hallway with a small towel over my shoulder. When I walked into the bathroom I stopped in my tracks, looking to my left I finally saw something I had been neglecting the whole day, my face.

I saw my face, I had fair smooth skin, sharp aristocrat features, long black hair and strangely enough heterochromia eyes. Looking closer it saw that my right eye was a grey colour while my left had retained its old almost glowing azure colour but this time it also had streaks of red.

Huh, that's weird where did I get the streaks of red from? Anyways I look somewhat familiar.

I look like I'm 12 years old opposed to my real age which is 10 years old.

"Hmm…" I couldn't remember where I had seen such features, it was on the tip of my tongue, it was confusing but I would probably remember something later. I waved of my worries.

I washed my face and wiped it quickly, I put my towel on my dresser before running downstairs.

As soon as I ran into the dining room that was connected to the kitchen I saw Sarah, she was cooking something, it seemed like she noticed me as well.

"Can you please fix the plates and utensils Al?" she asked me with a smile, pointing towards the

"Yep" I said popping the –p, and getting straight to the work.

I started placing the plates and utensils one by one, soon the kids started filling in the seats, they all came from playing in the play pen, and by the look of it they were probably playing a game that consisted or running, tag maybe?

Soon, everyone except Sarah, whose turn it was to make food tonight, was seated and waiting for food.

Sarah walked out from the kitchen with two giant plates of pasta in each hand, she looked like she was struggling to balance them so I got up and took one.

"Here" I took one of the plates,

"Thank you" she replied.

We started eating and I overheard one of the children talking animatedly with some others, focusing I started listening to their words.

"Hey, aren't we supposed to be going to New Tavern Fort soon?" a child asked,

"Yeah! I think we'll be going tomorrow" another replied.

Neat, it even has a pretty sweet passive. Huh, today is July 12th that means tomorrow is my birthday from my past life, maybe I could treat myself or something?

I continued listening in on peoples conversations and levelled up three times.

Soon dinner was finished and I volunteered to wash the dishes. I don't know why I did, it wasn't beneficial to me, but, I guess it's just the older brother in me that wants to help around.

As I was washing the dishes my hair kept falling onto my face and on my eyes, "tch" it was really getting annoying.

"Hmm… why don't you just tie your hair up?" Sarah asked with a delicate finger on her chin.

"Well I can't really do it, can I?" I motioned with my head to my soap covered hands, I mean it might be that I have a child's body but I do have an adults mind, and Sarah is very beautiful –ahem.

"Here let me do it for you" she had to come very close to me to tie my hair up, I could feel 2 things push against my back. Dammit, I wish I didn't have a child's body.

When she finished tying my hair I shook my head a few times to test if it would be undone or go in my eyes. Also on a sidenote, who would have thought it would be so comfortable?

"Much better, isn't it?" she asked with a grin.

"Yeah, thank you" I said in a low voice.

I was in my room thinking about everything that had happened to me, so much had happened in one day that I think I would've gone crazy if not for [Gamer's Mind].

One thing that I learned from my past life was that working out was a great way to relieve stress and to think things over while doing. So I got down and started to do some push-ups.

I got 2 STR and 1 VIT before I eventually went to sleep.
