The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 606 Family

Two days later, the arrangement for where my Avatar would live with the woman was completed. With his grasp on the World, finding a remote village out of nowhere would also be possible but in the end, she just sent the woman where her quite an exotic look wouldn't be a problem.

As for her new identity, the sly old man also crafted a fake background for her. Katrina Heimitz, 25. She grew up in an orphanage after an accident took away the lives of her parents and siblings. She then also got into a recent accident where her head suffered quite a heavy injury on her head after falling prey to a Dark Cult member.

She became a Possessed Earthling and was only freed after the Earth Energy was restored.

Hence, the amnesia. Her forged background would slowly be accepted by her.

When she woke up in the hospital bed, my Avatar who was already a perfect replication of my image after completing my Physique-type Mortal Pathway introduced itself with my name. But the Avatar's identity is a soldier from the Earth Defense Army tasked to be her caretaker after she became involved with the Dark Cult.

The ability to talk was made possible by another Imbued Tool. With its current strength that could contest an early to mid Rank 3 Transcendent, protecting her until she becomes a Rank 2 Transcendent will be a piece of cake.

Of course, as for her Pledge or Oath to the World's Will, we made it seem like just an assurance in case the same incident with the Dark Cult happened again.

Realistically speaking, she couldn't take all of that information in just a day. She also told my Avatar who remained by her side how her chest tightens whenever she looks at his face. The feeling of rage lingers inside her.

But that's not going to be an issue. At least, without proper strength, she had no choice but to follow the EDA's arrangement and live with my Avatar.

They dubbed it as her rehabilitation and until she could stand on her own feet, I would remain by her side, fulfilling my duty to protect her.

Yep. That's all about it. I didn't plan to be fully hands-on about it. And there's no problem for my Avatar to continue visiting other worlds to check on Lexie and Ophelia.

At first, I decided to only sync the Avatar's memory every seven days. But Yuko and my Companions told me that it's better to regularly do it. That way, we would be able to monitor her properly.

I don't know if that's the entire reason but it feels like I will be going to live a double life from now on. Not that I'm complaining. That will also take care of my growing affection for the Companions I left behind.

Still, our focus would remain the same.

To become stronger quickly in order to defend ourselves against the enemies encroaching on Earth and also… to take back my control of the Dark World.

As much as I wanted to communicate with the Eye of Nihility, I pushed that back because with the woman's attainment extracted from her body, that mystical eye also became dormant.

It would possibly be awakened once she started treading on the Earth's Mortal Pathway.

Later that day, since we have nothing much to do anymore but wait. I returned with my Companions to visit the place my mother was staying at.

After a rowdy dinner with my parents at the extended table, Yuko and my other Companions accompanied them to the living room, taking the chance to appeal and get to know them better.

Naturally, my father and I could only remain silent while listening to them.

They talked about our adventure but minimized the description making it look like a merry adventure where we ended up liberating a world.

Of course, my mother was not ignorant of the threat we were facing anymore. And given that I urged my father to tell her everything, she decided not to stay idle at home and also began to tread on her Mortal Pathway. But she's not going the same path we took. She became a player of Pathways Online and started adventuring in that simulated world.

She was only playing for a week but with the help of my father and energy stones, she's already a Rank 3 Mortal, Transformed Realm, or Level 3 in the game.

The ability she awakened was quite funny. If not for knowing the real identity of my Adaptability, I'd probably think that I inherited it from her since I got nothing from my father.

It's called Support Adaptation. It already transformed or evolved once and became Enhanced Support Adaptation.

What kind of ability is that? She can create her own variation of a Support Ability cast on her. A little similar to Hikari's Skillmaster but only for support skills. Furthermore, there's a strict limitation, stricter than the three conditions of Skillmaster. The variation she would create would be adjusted according to her progress. Even if she adapted my Domain of Valor, it would probably turn into something like Enhance Strength or Enhance Allstats with pretty much minimized effect.

Currently, her UPL was quite average so… as a son who wanted the best for his parents, I added her to my Allies list, giving her as much as 50% of my Support Bonus.

How high is that? Well, let's see. When I broke through and evolved the system to Peerless Support System, the Support Bonus became 45 for both Strength and Endurance and 7 for intelligence.

When I completed my Mortal Pathway and started integrating the system as my Transcendent Pathway, that Support Bonus had already been upgraded twice after reaching the 2nd Realm.

Upon completion and setting foot on my Transcendent Pathway, it became 60 Str, 60 End, and 9 Int. But because my breakthrough skipped that, the system also skipped in informing me of it

Now, it sits at 80 Str, 80 End, and 12 Int with the bonus of stronger Energy Amplifier and Durability than before.

So, with a 50% Support Bonus, my mother was instantly boosted by 40 Str, 40 End, and 6 Int, or in other words, 46.4 UPL.

A Rank 3 Mortal has a minimum of 45 UPL. And since she's not stuck in its early stages… my mother instantly reached the threshold of Transcendence!

When my mother suddenly shone in a brilliant light when I put her on my Allies List, my father almost choked on his spit upon seeing the phenomenon.

"What the hell?"

Confused, he hurriedly ran to my mother and inspected her himself.

As for my Companions, they all looked at me with meaningful smiles. They didn't fail to miss that it's because of me.

"Eh? Dear, what's happening? I feel my strength surging… Oh!"

When the situation calmed down, my mother Keiko asked my father but then, she probably felt it, the calling of the Door of Transcendence.

"Daisuke. Not yet! Lower your support skill! Your mother is not prepared for the Transcendent Trials yet!"

My father worriedly shouted and that hit me like a ball.

I was careless.

I forgot that the Transcendent Trials are as dangerous as fighting an unbeatable enemy with her current strength…

We're all lucky to pass it but for someone who lived a normal life like my mother and had just started treading on her Pathway, it was really too much.

Luckily, it's not too late yet. As long as she hadn't called for the Door of Transcendence, I could still pull back.

Almost immediately, I turned it down to 20% instead of 50%.

Like a deflating balloon, the visible manifestation of my mother's strength UPL left her body.

To apologize properly, I hurriedly went to her, checking on her state too.

"I'm sorry Mom. I got too excited."

"Pfft. It's quite an experience, you brat. And you don't have to be sorry. I understand." As doting as ever, she ruffled my hair and hugged me tightly.

Feeling the motherly love, I couldn't help but be reminded that I'm already a lot different from our past life. Here, I have this family that will unwaveringly have faith in me.
