10 Even In Two Lifetimes, I Never Dated (1/2)

Inside a tent, Axel sat on his sleeping bag with a blank look on his face. Everything he just experienced sent his emotions on a rollercoaster ride and after calming down, he collapsed onto his sleeping bag as he was both mentally and physically exhausted.

Axel sighed and said, ”System, show me my stats.”

He smiled slightly at his stats and said, ”Now show me my skills.”

[Skills: Cooking, Appraisal Magic, Nature Magic, Harvesting, Apollo-style Archery technique: Orion, Apollo-style Sword technique: Savant, Apollo-style Dagger technique: Luna, Fire Magic, Ice Magic, Lowest Magic Affinity, Tame, Summon.]

Axel closed the screen. He began to mull over how he acted when he was fighting the skeleton-like young man. He thought about his readiness to kill him and shuddered.

He took a couple seconds to calm down and said, ”I need to be able to live in this world. From the memories I got from Icarus, this world lives by, 'Might is right.' Sooner or later, I need to be prepared to kill someone. To not only save myself but my family, friends and to prevent future problems.”

Suddenly, the system said, [You not only need to be able to kill but also be able to spare. Not all things need to be solved with killing off the problem. Please, remember this.]

Axel became stunned before he revealed a wide smile and joyfully said, ”Your absolutely correct, system! I don't always need to kill.”

With the weight on his mind becoming a little lighter, Axel began to close his eyes to sleep when a screen popped up in front of him.

[Personal Quest Completed!

Kill the young man and bury his parents to rest.

Reward: 5,000 system points, 3x Lottery tickets.]

Axel became wide awake as he said, ”System, why did I complete the quest? And why is the reward halved?”

[You completed half the quest because you managed to put his parents to rest, so you've earned half the reward.]

Nodding his head, Axel started to relax in his sleeping bag and said, ”What's with the lottery ticket? Is it actually a lottery?”

When he recieved the quest, he was in a bad state of mind which caused him to ignore the reward of the quest. Now that he's calm, Axel finally notice that he doesn't know what the lottery ticket is.

The system said nothing while a screen appeared.

[Lottery ticket - A lottery containing anything and everything inside the current realm of occupation. All prizes are randomly drawn and are final. A random amount is gained when an item is drawn in the lottery. Every 10 tickets gains 1 free draw.]

Axel thought hard for a couple minutes before he said, ”System, use 2 lottery tickets.”
