Edric walked his way to the tavern, his steps slow and heavy. The moon was setting and a new day was about to begin. He clutched his mother’s photos in his hand, his bag wrapped around his shoulder . He laid in the forest for at least 1 hour , trying to process what all happened. He noticed his System message, while resting in the forest . [All attributes level increased] [New ability Quick Thinking] Edric wasn’t in a mood to think about it so he brushed it off. Then after his mind calmed down, he decided. He will go the source of all problems. The Veyra estate. “SIGH” Edic let out a big sigh. “What is this life?. Dying by a truck. Reborn to a fallen family, almost got killed twice” ‘Why wasn’t I born in a happy family for once. My mom died in two worlds’ he sombered. His mom from earth had died when he was a baby. His family wasn’t close either , not terrible but cold. He lifted his head up trying to find something to distract himself. The shops ,merchants and street performers were arriving one by one. Carts full of supplies rolled over the market. Street performers brought exotic clothes, makeup and tipping caps. Edric noticed a boy helping out his father, he picked up the vegetables that were being dropped. Edric couldn’t help but smile- perhaps he could have lived a happy life if was reborn poor. ‘Well I’m not really rich. I would be begging in the street if it wasn’t for Garrick’ Edric thought, realizing he will need to say goodbye to the old man. Just like that the sun started to rise. Edric made it to the Tavern, his eyes still puffy from the lack of sleep. Edric opens the door to see Garrick prepping for the day. “Hey kid, what took you so long” Garrick glances at Edric “Shesh what happened to you” “Crap” Edric's voice is low and nimble. “What kid?” Garrick said. “Nothing. Listen Garrick” Edric sat at the counter, came into eye contact with Garrick- his face serious . “I will be leaving soon. And probably not comeback for a while” “Looks like it’s time” Garric said, voice warm.Edric eyes widen in confusion. “You knew?” “You aren't a kid born from the streets., I figured you would return home. But after seeing the trouble that followed you, your martial arts, magic. I knew you had to go get answers. It was only time” Edric awed he didn’t think Garrick observed him well. He just thought he was a nice guy. “Go rest up, I will get you a ride in the evening. You won’t last a day with that look on your face” Garrick said “Don’t worry about clothes and money. I have some spare to give you”. “I can’t accept it. You already given me so much “ “Zip it. Just take it as debt . Repay me whenever you get back” Garrick left no room to argue. “Why? Why do you care for someone you barely knew for a couple of days” Edric asked, his voice trembling. “Don’t know. Just a feeling” Garric patted Edric’s shoulder, gesturing to him to go rest. Edric walks up to his room, lays his bag to the side, and falls flat on the bed. He gets knocked out in an instant. Edric woke up to the sound of muffled chatter from below. For a moment, he lay still, staring at the ceiling of his small room in Garrick’s Tavern. His body felt heavy, exhaustion clinging to his limbs like a weight. Then it hit him like a tidal wave. The portrait. The flashback. His mother. He shot up, heart pounding. He had found a piece of his past—a past he never knew existed. His eyes landed on his bag on the floor, half-unzipped from when he had dropped it before passing out. He reached for it, fingers brushing over the worn leather cover of a book. The books from the wooden house. Edric grabbed the first one and flipped it open. The pages were filled with columns of numbers and notes written in neat script—an accounting ledger, tracking financial transactions and brief summaries of meetings. Was my mother handling the family’s finances? he muttered Setting the book aside, he picked up the second book. This one was different—the words were written in an unfamiliar language. The same
