Dilan had never forced anyone to stay with them. That was why he didn’t feel bothered when the traumatized Ascenders left them.
If they couldn’t even endure so gazes of contempt, it was wrong of Dilan to think that they were worthy of being nurtured either way.
Those who fled from a battle were not worthy of being called Warriors, to begin with.
The Ascenders, who decided to run away after making a mistake, were not welco in his group. It was best for them to leave because that ant they wouldn’t try to fix their mistakes either way.
Almost all Ascenders thought that they led Dilan down, that they didn’t et his requirents, and that they were a burden to him.
There were many Ascenders who were trying to fix their mistakes, to beco better persons, make up for the bad traits of their personalities, and to allow others to help them.
For many people, it was difficult to accept that they needed help and then ask for it. But it was only fortunate that many Ascenders were able to overco the hurdle of putting aside their pride and the facade of being strong and unaffected.
They had a psychologist in their group, who proved to be quite helpful in tending to the traumatized Ascenders and Warriors.
In the beginning, Dilan didn’t think that it was necessary for anyone to pick such an occupation. At least, he didn’t believe that it was necessary to have an Ascender choose a Rare occupation in the Ancient Paths of Advancent, related to Psychology.
In his opinion, it would have been enough to have a regular psychologist and not a specialist. However, he was entirely wrong, which was what he clearly perceived when he saw how much better the Ascenders, and even other Survivors were doing after a single session with the young woman, who had chosen this occupation voluntarily..
There were many mysterious occupations, and all had their own unique use. The only difficult thing was to figure out how to use each occupation in the best way.
With ti, everything gradually improved as the Ascenders worked hard to better their living conditions. The warehouse and the toy manufacturing factory turned into their actual base that kept transforming with every passing day.
Observing the way the base was transforming was quite interesting, and it swelled several Ascenders’ hearts with pride upon seeing what they were capable of achieving as long as they made enough efforts.
However, nobody dared to believe that their new base was going to be their forever ho.
The Red Dragon’s might was still imprinted in the depth of their conscience, and it was impossible for them to ignore the possibility of monster tides and powerful legendary existences attacking them out of nowhere.
The Pagoda of Ti was just one small incident. Many Ascenders might have died, but it was still not sothing that instilled deep fear within everyone.
It was the unknown they feared, and the fact that there were many Gates none of them was able to enter.
“If all of the Gates release a wave of monsters at the sa ti, we’ll be dood!” One of the most pessimistic Survivors said for the 10th ti. It seed as if he was trying to scare everyone with every single sentence he said.
“Yeah, and if another dragon appears, we’ll be dood as well. Can’t you just shut up, and fix the gas stove?” Bianne retorted angrily, rolling her eyes before pointing at the gas stove that had stopped working, again.
While Bianne was still using a gas stove, their group had already found many treasures labeled [Magic Devices]. They were empowered by Mana and Essence crystals and didn’t require any electricity to function.
Initially, many frowned at the prospect of using one of the Magic Devices because they didn’t want to waste their precious mana or Essence crystals.
But the Magic Fridge, Magic Oven, the Tier-1 Electric Fence, and various other Magic Devices had beco essential for their group.
Only a few Gates exchanged the Magic Devices with Essence crystals, and the possibility to get one of the Magic Devices was also quite low.
There were also a few Magic Devices, which they couldn’t use yet, including a Magic Tier-1 pen. It was a pen whose ink would never run out as long as one had enough Mana.
It sounded interesting but was actually a boring Magic Device.
Following the appearance of Magic Devices, more Ascenders chose to actively search for Gates, and more monsters to hunt, so that they would be able to get their hands on more treasures.
Most Ascenders hoped to get their hands on so seeds. The lifestyle of their group was certainly not normal because all of them were still forced to eat just at.
Thus, to many Ascenders, finding grains had beco extrely important. For a minority, it was their biggest motivation to keep going outside and fighting ferocious monsters.
Dilan felt the sa, but he was not yet desperate enough to waste his precious Dungeon Points to purchase so seeds from the Shop, .
specialized in goods that were great for combat purposes.
There weren’t many Magic Devices or miscellaneous goods sold at the shop.
There might be a few but they were not actually useful and overpriced in Dilan’s opinion.
“Aren’t there wild potatoes in the Silvergrass plains? The Mythical Forest has a tree with ripe fruits as well. Though, I cannot say for sure that you can eat them.
The Mountain ring of the Elents might hold so great items as well…have you guys even been at these places before?!” Oliver asked, feeling slightly weird.
He had entered a few of those Gates earlier, and he was pretty sure that it was possible to find sothing there.
If one searched well enough, it shouldn’t be impossible to find sothing edible, other than the monsters.
Oliver’s sudden question attracted everyone’s attention.
Dilan was one of the only people who had entered the Gates because many Ascenders were still traumatized about the incident that had happened in the Pagoda of Ti.
The human mind and self-confidence were fragile as glass and truly easy to break. However, they overca their nervousness and could get their act together after so ti.
They would grow from their failure and beco better!
That was sothing Dilan noticed when the expressions of the people around Oliver brightened up at his comnt.
“I didn’t check if there were any wild vegetables, fruit bushes, or sothing similar to that, but it is not unlikely to find sothing there. If you guys want to take a look, go for it.”
The mont Dilan said this, many Ascenders roared out in joy. They forgot about the pain they had felt in the past few days as they began to smile brightly.
“Let’s go!! We need so vegetables and fruits!!”
Dilan almost laughed out when they saw how much motivation the potential find of other food provided to the Ascenders.
He began to smile faintly and forgot about the anger that had been bubbling inside him for the past few days.
It was not healthy to dwell on the mistakes others made in the past. Rather, one should focus on the present and the future.
Dilan understood this much better than others because his past had been far from easy. However, he was also aware of the fact that one should never forget the past.
It was not necessary to think about it all the ti, but one was never supposed to forget the past, how people had treated them, and what others had done to them.
This was one of the most important things Dilan had learned in his short, yet, eventful life.
He was observing the Ascenders, who were looking at Oliver as if he was so sort of Sage, who was knowledgeable and extrely intelligent.
Oliver felt a bit embarrassed because he was not used to being subjected to such stares. It was sothing new and he smiled bashfully.
When he cald down, he led large groups of Ascenders to the different Gates to research their environnt and to see what potential food could they find.
‘I guess Mira will have quite so work to do once they find sothing to plant. Well, it was about ti that this little troublemaker could finally show off her abilities!’ Dilan mused before he averted his attention.
anwhile, Kathrine and Yvonne had simply watched the scene from the sidelines, and they had also seen Dilan’s faint smile.
“Looks like Dilan has cald down again, you’re probably happy about that, right sis?” Yvonne asked, grinning slyly as she looked at her sister, who had an identical expression of relief as Yvonne had on her face.
“Yeah, I’m happy…that’s good…maybe everything will get better now…”
