[System: Take the child out of the city as soon as possible. The gangs will co after you at any mont and it's better to not scar the child anymore.]
Vincent saw this ssage and then looked at Miya. Her gaze was fixed on the guy that he had burnt.
Your next read awaits at empire
He was still alive, and while Vincent couldn't understand why it would have mattered, he still decided to listen to his system.
"Let's get out from this place first, okay? You can call Vincent and there's no need for Uncle."
Miya nodded and held his hand before leaving him him, but a few seconds of walking later, Vincent just decided to carry her as she was walking pretty slow.
He then ran through the alleyways to reduce the chances of people spotting him and after an hour, he found himself at the borders of the small town. He imdiately hired a carriage and got in.
The mont the carriage left the town, Vincent saw a notification pop up.
[Congratulations on completing the quest! The rewards will be delivered once you're along with Miya.]
Vincent smiled when he saw this and nodded before he took out so pork jerky from one of his inner pockets.
"Want so?"
"Yes!" she said as she stared at the strip of at and Vincent happily gave it to her before chewing on his own share.
He silently watched her take small bites, but there were multiple questions on his mind.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to try and quench his curiosity.
"Hey Miya, did your uncle not teach you to listen or go with strangers?"
Miya looked up at him and shook her head, "No, uncle never told anything like that. He simply told to not open the door when he's gone. I never went out of the house hehe. What are those big things?"
".... those are trees."
Vincent then beca a very detailed guide as he blabbered on and on for hours as he pointed out at the things while the carriage moved.
Seeing this, Keith's opinion on Vincent beca better as he grew a soft spot for the guy instantly.
'It's a good thing I picked him for this instead of Fabian.' he thought as he kept the screen on the side while he silently listened to Alia lecturing about how to drink wine properly.
'Now what should I do with Miya though... I originally wanted her to help with speeding up the harvest but now I don't really feel like doing it. Fuck, why do I have such a soft spot for kids dammit!'
Even though he cursed himself, he wasn't really that distressed about it.
'Kids aren't that great at keeping secrets and I can't just keep her in my spatial dinsion to use her for farming purposes. She's just a child... and if I try to give her freedom by bringing her to the real world, then there's a chance of my secrets leaking.
I also can't just give her away to so random person now that I got her snatched from the hands of that gang. Should I just adopt her? I always wanted kids... but it would also bring quite a few problems. I guess I'll talk to Clara about this first and then make a decision.
If she doesn't want it, then I'll get Vincent to take care of her like a little sister and since he already has a good rapport with her, I feel like it will be fine. But then there's the problem of Fabian too, ugh. Such a pain...'
He felt like no matter which path he took, he was eting a dead end. So after a few minutes of wasting his ti on thinking about the solutions, he decided to just talk to Clara about it and hoped that things will go well.
'This is life. I can't have everything under control and there is no author out there writing my story with as the protagonist. I'll have to act based on my current situation and that's exactly what I'll do.
That lucky bastard Clark had Emma who gave him a lot of trouble but at the end of the day, he had that annoying plot armor which I don't.'
As soon as he thought about Clark, he felt annoyed.
'I wonder what he's doing though. I haven't paid much attention to him recently.' he thought as he got another system screen pop up in front of him and what he saw, made him feel like he had underestimated Clark a lot.
Inside a large warehouse, Clark and the twins silently placed bricks on each other and filled the gaps with mortar.
The project seed to be in it's initial stages but thanks to the system's help, he could tell that they were building a place that resembled the one at the protection church.
'So he plans to get a second awakening huh? Co to think of it, he never got a second awakening in the novel because his ability was a growth type. And it looks like he's figured out the disadvantage his regression is causing.
Even though he has all the knowledge and gotten into multiple fights, he was unable to get as strong as he was in the novel thanks to his previous life's experience.
And looks like this was the main trigger that pushed him into getting a second awakening but I wonder which god he'll choose.
He's a part of the War church so maybe he'll pick Balmond...'
As Keith watched Clark do the preparations, he realized another thing and this was about himself.
The so-called second awakening that he undertook with Maria watching, had only served to awaken him. It wasn't a secondary awakening and instead, it was a primary awakening.
'I can do it one more ti... but I'm not sure if it'll work or not. I should probably talk to Maria about this... nah wait. Hey system, tell if I can undergo a secondary awakening or if it already happened.'
[You have only undergone a primary awakening.]
