Chapter 71: Favorability

1 day ago

“Im hungry I need some meat, Boss give me another piece of meat,” Kyo was devouring a ton of food after his penalty has been applied

[System: the player Kyo min soo’s skill Rampage has activated its penalty, the player will suffer an Insatiable hunger]

[Thats the 20th piece of meat he’s not stopping if this continues you should prepare to hold a funeral for your tokens]

‘If it wasn’t for his human counterpart thats controlling his Beast impulse then I would’ve knocked him down and strapped him in a chair until the penalty was over. it’s a good thing that he isn’t a full Beast that would’ve been disastrous, known for their powerful form the Beast race was feared by many. what many people didn’t know is that it comes with a price if it’s not fulfilled they’ll slowly lose their minds and become feral Beast that will seek food to quench their bottomless hunger. at this point, they became vulnerable to attacks their bodies awakening will appoint their remaining strength to increase their vitality,’

“So, I need to watch over the brat while the two of you are gone? you know im not good with kids,”

“Come on, Jin you’re the only one I could ask for help, just this once please look after Kyo. you’re the only one apart from me who knows him best,” Morris placed a rare ore in his hands that made him agree without another word

Jin took a long sigh before he takes a collar from his back and place it on Kyo’s face which prevented him from eating any more than he could swallow. The collar not only stopped him from eating but it had a function that released a potent gas that was enough to knock a Beast like Kyo min soo with a single sniff

“I’ll handle the kid, so finished that Side quest as soon as possible. my schedule is tight, I can’t squeeze any more than I can handle, so if you meet another problem then you’re on your own,”

“Aren’t you getting a little bit cocky since Kyo completely wrecked the first part?” Esther was back to her usual self, which was currently packing all of their items in place of Kyo

Back to the present

[Morris im not knowledgeable about this topic called romance but I think confronting it will make your life easier. that’s what one of the deities that still has a connection to me said]

“So about what happened back then, are you avoiding me because of what I did?” Morris stopped in their tracks when they were near the entrance of the underground sewer system

“Im not avoiding you, it’s just that I can’t understand why you did that. Was it to calm me down, or was it something else,”

“To be honest, I did it to calm you down, you’re just like an open book. Even Kyo could notice your feelings right away, I was avoiding this sort of thing since it’s not only complicated it will also negatively affect my standing as the leader. I can’t imagine myself being the kind of guy you’ll want to spend your life with a leader would choose the most painful situations just to save his teammates and Im that kind of person. I don’t have anything that I desire only for our growth, if youre angry that I can’t return your feelings then you could hit me,”

Esther paused for a moment before she made her decision and walked closer in his direction, to which he responded by closing his eyes to cover what he may experience as the worst beating that he will receive. That’s what he anticipated but he felt a warm and fuzzy feeling that was pressing on his body when he opened his eyes he saw her hugging him along with her lips touching his own. He was stimulated with the womanly charms Esther was displaying, but he wasn’t able to muster his strength, by the time she was finished her face turned red yet she didn’t stutter

“If you don’t have any sort of feeling towards me, then using you as a way to suppress my urges won’t be a problem right?” She looks straight into his eyes without averting her gaze that making their hearts beat faster than the times their lives were about to be taken away

‘What kind of development is this? I was expecting her to beat me up and leave what changed I can’t understand my predicament,’

[System: The one who sees catastrophe has unlocked one of the passive skills inside her blessing, The Eye of favorability]

‘Hold on I received a new message it’s from the deity that gave me her blessing, The Eye of favorability should I use this?’

“What do you mean by that? come on Esther this is a joke right haha, that was a great one this is a prank right?” Morris broke free of his delusion and took a step back from Esther which she responded to walk closer to his location

“I won’t force myself into your life I just want to say that I want you to help me with my urges,”

[System: The one who sees catastrophe is telling the player Christopher Morris to accept, the deity sees it as an absolute win]

Before they could even move the Side quest had affected their surroundings it shifted to a time where the entire place was plagued by a Black smoke that covered their visions. along with the growls of a monster and a scream that sounded similar to a human being

[Side quest: Second part the location of the noise
