Chapter 8: [Mirag Town!]

"For the next 7 days. Put your life on the line and make a vow to protect me. Also, make a vow that you will kill yourself if I die. And you, Nirag. Remove the curse," I glared as I looked at them with annoyance.

Rivas nodded, as he agreed as usual. I was more or less used to his narrowed, confused look that he gave me all the time. As if wondering what evil plan I was brewing in my mind.

This time, instead of 15, I showed them the position of the espcada about 25 minutes before. This way, that guy, Valor, should be able to live…

My benevolence came blooming as the monster didn't chase us this time. Perhaps because nobody died this time, the party was rather talkative among themselves. Nobody talked with me though.

And finally, after another 3 days of continuous traveling through the desert.

"Mirag Town, huh?" I mumbled as I saw the name of the town at the entrance.

"It was named after the First Mayor of the town in the last century when it was still a village settlement. Or should I say the Village Head of that time," Rivas spoke as he heard my mumbling.

"..." I looked at him with a rather surprised expression.

"Did the heat finally get to you?" I wondered if he was alright. A normal conversation was the last thing I expected from his mouth.

Though he just chuckled at my response as we moved further deeper into the town.

The town was dark and gloomy as f*ck, though. I thought that it would be filled with beautiful ladies and elves, children playing in the street, merchants and stuff, but it seemed desolate with only a dozen sick people walking around.

Their eyes filled with exhaustion. It seemed as if they hadn't slept for ages. Add a little bruises and you can't differentiate between them and zombies. Just what kind of town was this? I don't exactly remember any Mirag Town in this game.

[Quest: Get out of the Desert: Complete!]

[+50 Exp Received

[+3 Attribute Points!]

[+System Feature Unlock: Save Points!]

I went back to the [Menu] as I scrolled through the System, finally reaching the position.

[You can save your position under the following condition:

-You are going to sleep!

-You won't die in your sleep and wake up properly!

-You are in a Safe Zone!

-Your status is at least 50% in health!]

[You have 1 free Save Points!]

[Save Points: Skills!]

[You can save your skills once every 7 days and may have them even if you restart!

Notice:

-The skill level of all Skills will reset back to their previous point when you restart!

-If you didn't have the Skill at the time of restart, the skill level will be set to what you acquired on first encounter!]

'Not exactly a cheat, but still, it's quite great,' I thought as I looked at the limitations of the feature.

"Oi! We have reached!" Rivas spoke as he looked at me. Only then I noticed that the caravan had stopped and Amara and Nirgal had already stepped out.

[Agility: 5 -> 10!]

[You have unlocked the Basic Spell: Frenzy!]

[Constitution: 5 -> 10!]

[You have unlocked the Basic Spell: Heal!]

Moving out, I put the points in Health and Agility to unlock the basic spells of both.

[You have used [Save: Skill Points]!]

Now, even if I were to die, I could still have these two basic spells with me. Though the temptation of dying again to get the other skills was still there, however knowing how the game functions, I could get them later pretty much easily.

"All right then. Thanks for all the beautiful memories we made. Hope to never see you guys again," I spoke with a smile before I began walking towards the nearest guild. I should register as an adventurer and begin my journey as soon as I can!!

"Where are you going?" asked Rivas in a heavy voice as he looked at me with a rather unfriendly look.

"Sightseeing?" I spoke as I looked around at this rather empty town. Doesn't seem like people interact here much… almost wanna make me stay here.

"You do remember that if you happen to die, we all die, right?" he asked as he looked at me.

'But I will come back to life again,' I wanted to say that, but I kept to myself. Well, not that I don't understand his point. Hmmm… what should I do now?

My eyes then went to Mira, who carried two knives with her. She had finally removed the muffler off her face, showing her short red hair that was styled in a bob cut. Her black eyes were sharper than her twin knives, though… almost piercing me.

"You are Mira, right? I don't know my way around the town. May I ask you to show me around?" I spoke as I looked at her, ignoring the rest of them. Rivas observed me for a few moments before he looked at Mira,

"What do you say? I, honestly, don't think we should mention him to the Mayor."

Hearing Rivas's words, she sighed as she mumbled,

"And we can't leave him alone either."

She then gave it a little bit of thought before she smiled at Rivas and nodded,"All right. I will protect him. Go finish the business with the Mayor."

Rivas nodded before he gave me one last look and then left with the rest of the party. As for Mira, she observed me and asked,

"So. Where do you want to go?"

I smiled as I answered,"is there any adventurer's guild in this town? I would like to register my name there."

Her eyes widened briefly as she spoke,"You want to be an adventurer? You sure?" Her eyes observed me from top to bottom at least 2 times.

"Looking at your bravery, I was quite motivated," I smirked before she ended up chuckling as she mumbled,"Funny," before she added,"there is one in this town. Come, let me show you the place."

Looking at her up close, she was rather nice. If we don't include the part that she was a part of the group that killed me indiscriminately, that is. Though I was rather curious. Were they two face diabolical people who killed on one side and remained normal on another, or there was something going on behind the scenes.

Following her, we reached the Adventurer's Guild. And it was only then I realized which town this place was…

"So that's how it is, huh?" I mumbled as I realized a critical part of the situation…
