30 Reward (1/2)

Ivan thought it sounded like the typical hero on a white horse story, but he was sure that it wasn't like that, so he kept quiet and waited for her to continue.

”Even now I don't understand how you did it but you killed all the goblins surrounding us in seconds. You then gave us some pills which helped us heal our wounds.

Then when we wanted to thank you, you said that there was no need, since you would take a reward.”

”Then the reward was...”, he started, but was unable to finish the sentence.

”It was me. You took me towards a cave and then without asking for my opinion forced yourself on me.”

When he heard that he was shocked. It seemed like his former self wasn't really of the nice category.

”I'm sorry.”, he couldn't think of anything to say.

”Don't be. It was your former self who did it and besides it isn't unusual. To be honest it happens quite often. I just never expected it to happen to me. Having to offer my virginity for my teammates and my lives wouldn't have been a bad deal. Of course I wouldn't have been happy but I could have accepted it if not for our family rule.”

She once again paused and took a sip of tea.

”A long time ago one of my ancestors made a system enforced family rule, that anyone who has sex with a partner of the opposite gender will be automatically married to this partner. And that is why I was so unhappy about it and also why we are married according to the system.”

”Huh? But in my character screen you aren't listed and Jane too isn't mentioned.”, Ivan says after checking the family section of his character screen.

”That's weird. We really should be listed there. Maybe it is because of the reset?”, she looked thoughtfully into her cup of tea.

”Whatever it doesn't really matter since you are listed for us and we got the titles too. So you have to take responsibility even if the system doesn't display us.”

<< New Quest: Taking responsibility

Someone from your life before the hard reset has asked you to take responsibility for the actions of your former self?

If you do take responsibility then you will gain Lara as your wife and Jane as your daughter along with whatever else pops up.

If you don't, the connection between you and Lara as well as you and Jane will be severed and you won't have to take responsibility for the actions of your former self.

>>

Below the quest window there were two buttons.

<< Accept Responsibility >> << Reject Responsibility >>

The answer was easy for Ivan. Even though he didn't know what would come out of accepting responsibility, since it was the riskier option he just couldn't accept the fact that if he didn't his connection to his daughter would be severed. Although he had only known her for a few hours he really liked that child and was happy about having her as his daughter.

So without any hesitation he clicked on the << Accept Responsibility >> button.

<< Congratulation you have decided to take responsibility for the actions of your former self. >>

<< Congratulation you have formed the Hope Family. The family screen has now been unlocked. >>

<< Congratulation you have married Lara von Berg : Luck +1 Remark: You really lucked out to find such a great looking wife. >>

<< Congratulation you have sired a daughter : Charisma +1 Remark: You really are way to lucky. >>
