I Become A Mob Character In A Novel

[Samael Ashwood's POV]

"Here, Drink this," I said while offering her the healing potion which I retrieved from the system inventory but pretended to take it out of my pant's pocket.

"L-Love? What is this?" Lily asked, her voice still soft and trembling from the intensity of our shared moment.

"It's a healing potion," I explained gently, my voice filled with warmth and reassurance. "It will help you feel better and provide you with the necessary nutrients to heal and eliminate any residing poison from your body."

"Really? I will regain my strength from before mana poisoning."

"Yes, you will," I affirmed, my voice soft but confident. "This potion is designed to aid in your recovery, and with time and rest, you'll feel like yourself again."

Lily nodded, a glimmer of hope shining in her eyes as she accepted the vial and drank the potion down. I felt relieved as the healing magic began its work, easing her discomfort and replenishing her strength.

"Thank you, Samael," she murmured, her voice filled with gratitude as she handed the empty vial back to me.

"You don't need to thank me," I replied with a gentle smile, throwing the now-empty vial away. "I'll always be here to take care of you."

"Will you really not come inside for some time," Lily said with a sad face as we were standing outside her house.

I looked at Lily, her expression tugging at my heartstrings. "I wish I could stay longer, but duty calls," I replied with a regretful tone. "But I promise to check in on you regularly and make sure you're alright."

Lily nodded, understanding but still disappointed. "Okay," she said softly, a hint of sadness in her voice.

Stepping closer, I cupped her cheek gently, my thumb brushing away a stray tear. "I'll be back before you know it," I reassured her, my voice filled with warmth and affection.

Baaam!!!

"LILY!!!"

The main door busted open as Ethan rushed out, his tear-filled eyes filled with concern and worry. He came to a stop in front of Lily, ignoring my presence for a moment as he focused solely on her.

"Are you cured? does it hurt anywhere? are you feeling better?" Ethan bombarded Lily with questions, his voice frantic with worry.

"Thanks to Sam~ I am all cured up," Lily replied, her voice soft but filled with gratitude as she glanced at me with a smile. "And I'm feeling much better now."

"My buddy!!! thank you! thank you! thank you! you really fulfilled your promise to me," Ethan exclaimed, turning to me with tears of relief in his eyes. "I can't thank you enough for taking care of Lily."

I nodded, touched by Ethan's genuine gratitude. "Of course, Ethan," I replied warmly. "Lily means a lot to me too. I'll always be here to help her."

Ethan pulled me into a tight hug, his gratitude palpable. "You're a true friend, Sam," he said, his voice choked with emotion.

As Ethan embraced me, I returned the hug, feeling a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between us. Despite any differences we may have had, his gratitude and concern for Lily were undeniable, and I couldn't help but admire his dedication to her well-being.

"You would have done the same for me," I assured him, patting his back gently before pulling away from the embrace.

Ethan nodded, a grateful smile spreading across his face. "Absolutely," he agreed, his eyes still shining with emotion.

Turning back to Lily, Ethan's expression softened, his worry dissipating now that he knew she was alright. "I'm so glad you're feeling better," he said sincerely, reaching out to take her hand in his.

Lily smiled back at him, squeezing his hand gently. "Thanks, Brother. And thank you for always looking out for me," she said, her voice filled with warmth and affection.

Ethan's eyes softened even further at Lily's words. "You're my little sister. It's my job to look out for you," he replied, his voice tender.

The three of us stood there for a moment, the tension from before evaporating into a shared sense of relief and camaraderie. Despite the recent turmoil, it felt like we were all on the same page now, united in our care for Lily.

"Alright," Ethan said, breaking the silence with a deep breath. "Let's go inside, I have prepared some hog meat for us to celebrate Lily's recovery." He grinned, trying to lighten the mood with his usual enthusiasm.

Lily's eyes lit up at the mention of her favorite dish. "That sounds wonderful, Brother," she said, her voice filled with genuine excitement.

"A-Ah~ both of you go ahead, I have to return home and take care of some things," I said, trying to hide the reluctance in my voice. "But I'll definitely join you for the next celebration."

Lily's face fell slightly, but she nodded in understanding. "Alright, Samael. Thank you again for everything," she said, her voice filled with gratitude and warmth.

"Take care, buddy," Ethan added, giving me a firm pat on the back. "We'll save some hog meat for you."

I smiled, appreciating their understanding. "You both take care as well. I'll see you soon," I said, waving goodbye as I turned to leave.

Lily tiptoed and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "Hurry back, okay?" she whispered, her eyes filled with a mixture of gratitude and longing.

Ethan looked at us with wide eyes and a teasing grin formed on his lips. "Oh, I see how it is," he chuckled, shaking his head. "You two are adorable."

Lily blushed, stepping back and giving Ethan a playful shove. "Stop it, Brother," she protested, her cheeks tinged with pink.

I couldn't help but laugh at the sibling banter. "Alright, you two, enjoy your meal," I said, giving Lily a final, lingering look before turning to leave. "I'll be back soon."

As I walked away, I felt a warm sense of fulfillment knowing that Lily was on the path to recovery and surrounded by love and support.

But I had to save my family, and that mission couldn't wait. The weight of my responsibilities pressed heavily on my shoulders as I left Lily and Ethan behind, but the sense of urgency drove me forward.

'System, Show me previous notifications.'

[Right away]

[Ding! Mission Successful]

[Name: Cure The Protagonist's Sister]

[Objective: Find a cure for the mysterious illness afflicting the protagonist's sister before it's too late. (Completed)]

[Reward: 1000 Destiny Points, Random Skill Card x1, Skill Upgrade Card x1, Plunderer Card x1]

[Do you want to collect the reward?]

[Y/N]

'Yes,' I whispered, confirming my decision to collect the rewards.

[Congratulations! You have received 1000 Destiny Points, Random Skill Card x1, Skill Upgrade Card x1, Plunderer Card x1]

I felt a surge of energy as the points and cards were added to my inventory. The rewards would undoubtedly aid me in my future endeavors, but for now, my focus was on the next steps.

'System, show me the details of the Random Skill Card.'

[Random Skill Card: Grants a random skill from the system's skill library.]

'And the Skill Upgrade Card?'

[Skill Upgrade Card: Can be used to upgrade any one of your existing skills to the next level.]

'What about the Plunderer Card?'

[Plunderer Card: Allows you to plunder anyone's ability/ skill/ title and add it to your own repertoire.]

'The last one is quite powerful,' I thought to myself, considering the implications of the Plunderer Card. It offered a significant advantage, 'If I were to use it on the protagonist and take one of his skills or abilities, it could potentially give me an edge in future encounters.'

'System, Use random skill card.'

[Random Skill Card activated.]

[Ding! Skill Acquired: Stealth Mastery]

A smile crept onto my face as I received the Stealth Mastery skill. It perfectly fits my need for discretion and stealth, providing me with an invaluable advantage in saving mother and sister from those 'Outsiders'.

'System, Show me the description.'

[Stealth Mastery (Lvl 1): This skill enhances your ability to move silently and remain undetected by enemies. It allows you to blend into the shadows and avoid detection, making you adept at infiltration and evasion. As you level up this skill, your proficiency in stealth will increase, allowing you to move with even greater finesse and avoid detection from increasingly vigilant foes.]

'Okay then, Use the skill upgrade card on Stealth Mastery.'

[Skill Upgrade Card activated.]

[Ding! Stealth Mastery upgraded to Level 2.]

[Congratulations! Your Stealth Mastery skill has been upgraded to Level 2. Your proficiency in stealth has increased, allowing you to move with even greater finesse and evade detection from more vigilant foes.]

With my Stealth Mastery skill now upgraded, I felt even more confident in my ability to navigate the shadows and evade detection. It would be a valuable asset in my mission to save my family and uncover the truth behind the mysterious 'Outsiders'.

'And finally activate the Plunderer Card on the protagonist, Ethan.'

[Plunderer Card activated.]

A surge of power coursed through me as I activated the Plunderer Card, focusing my intent on Ethan. With a flash of light, I felt a connection form between us, and a rush of information flooded my mind.

[Choose any one skill from the following:]

[1. Harem Protagonist (Title)]

[2. Master of Arms (Skill)]

[3. Undying Will (Skill)]

There is just one word in my mind looking at these options.

Disappointing.
