Chapter 4: The Family and The city (1/2)

Ed could hear his new family's footsteps getting closer and he was getting nervous. Then Becky entered his room after knocking to announce that his family is here.

”Let them in”

As the four people walked in he could see that they were indeed worthy of being royalty, his 30 something-year-old father was tall almost 190 cm and looked strong with blond hair and blue eyes he also had a saber hanging down from his waist. His mother was a beautiful woman who was a bit short but that added even more to her charm she also had blond hair and blue eyes, she looked like she was in her twenties.

He could also see his little brother and sister walk in as well. They could only be described as handsome and beautiful; he knew they were both 16 and 8 years old respectively.

”Edward how are you feeling, ”His father Arthur asked him with a stern attitude, Ed could feel the disappointment of his father for the state he was in.

”I'm okay now father thank you for your concern ”Ed tried to emulate the previous prince's attitude the best he could, It was lucky that they had similar personalities.

”How can you be okay when you're so beat up?! Do you know what would have happened to me if you had died!!”His mother Elizabeth had tears falling down from her eyes.

”I really am okay mother” Ed felt touched by the worry his mother showed.

Although he didn't have a bad relationship with his parents in the world before, they were still separated most of the time due to work, school and even TV and internet.

”Humph if you had been stronger this wouldn't have happened” His brother Eric showed a cold attitude but Ed knew from his memories that this was the way his brother acted; he wanted to be tough all time.

”Are you really okay brother? You won't die will you?!”His sister Bella had tears in her eyes.

”I'm okay Bella don't worry hahaha”

Suddenly his father spoke ”Here are a few pills I bought they should help you heal up in less than 3 days”

Just after he put the pills down he instructed Becky to feed the pills to Ed thinking that his hands were still unusable, and then left the room. After talking a bit more with Ed his family also left his room.

Becky came twice that day to feed him the pills and change his bandages; the embarrassment he felt was indescribable.

After he made sure no one would bother him for the rest of the day he got up and started to do some basic workout such as pushups, squats etc...

After he finished his workout he heard a notification from his system

Str+1, Sta+1.

”System how come I gained these stats without leveling up?”

[Reminder that host now lives like a game character, Continuous actions should help you gain stats. However, leveling up is still the best way possible to get stronger]

Ed nodded and got back to bed, it was already late at night so he wanted to sleep and review all that had happened that day since it was no normal day at all.

Ed passed his 3 days while training his body and enduring the embarrassment brought upon him by having a maid. In these 3 days, he was able to increase in Str and Sta stats by 3 more each and even got used to the feeling of dizziness when using the Sharingan, even he can't use it for more than 10 minutes at a times.

On the fourth day's morning, Ed woke up early, took off his bandages and wore his clothes that were, even more, embarrassing especially the coat he had to wear. He then left to meet his father after informing his maid Becky. He was planning to leave for the city market to but things so he could practice his swordsmanship.
