Re: Player

"Here are the 50 Gold Coins, and 20 Extra for the Head," Revius spoke as he passed me the reward of the quest before taking a deep look at me.

Taking those coins, I was about to move away from there, towards the next quest in question, but Revius called me out from behind.

"Can I ask you a question?"

Turning around, I looked at him for a moment, waiting for him to speak.

"Have you heard about anything related to one of the Saints of life Goddess coming here?" He asked curiously, making me observe him for a few seconds.

He signaled me to come closer to him, which I did after a minor consideration.

"So. Here is some insider news. The Elves are sending patrol units to various borders of the Nirvana Empire. Accordingly, something big is going on within the empire, which prompted all the saints to check out the 12 main border cities of the empire."

I observed his face with a confused face as I asked,

"And?"

He laughed a little before speaking,

"Do you know about Adam?"

And my eyes widened a little. Since it was inside the mask, he couldn't see my surprised expression.

"They are actively seeking him. Supposedly, he is connected to whatever has troubled the entire nation. Though nobody knows for sure what it is," he spoke as he himself was pretty much curious about it.

'Fate weaver?' I thought of a possibility. If the other fate weavers were to search for each other, the most possible person they would search for is Adam.

After all, he is the closest to what a Fate weaver is.

'But it's still a speculation,' I pondered before looking at Revius as I asked,

"How does this news concern me?"

My voice was stern, dark, and a bit chilly. There was not an ounce of interest in my voice, making Revius sigh before he added,

"The Saints are powerful. And they certainly won't like a Dark Mage as powerful as you. When the time comes, we will close down this black market temporarily. Since you don't get involved with anyone, I thought it would be better to inform you beforehand."

Understanding his words, I nodded. Honestly, I wasn't an idiot to run into a saint in my Morpheus avatar.

Taking out a gold coin, I placed it on the table in front of Revius, which he took with a gleeful face. I could hear him thanking me as I walked away from there, while my mind was still thinking about the information I just got.

'If there is really a Fate Weaver in the Nirvana kingdom, then I need to be at least prepared for it minimally,' I thought as a sudden smile appeared on my face.

If I could rope him or her in, I could gain one of the most powerful allies in this world. And if it doesn't work, then I guess I would need to kill him or her for what it's worth.

Walking through the market, and then up to the surface, I once again reached the area where the shop was. However, unlike the last two times, this time there were about a dozen people standing outside the shop.

Looking at their black attire covered from top to bottom, and the way they were sneaking around, it was easy to make out their purpose. But still, not being a judgy person, I jumped from the roof and landed in between them.

"Huh?!"

"What?!!!"

"Who?!"

All of them, a total of 9 people, took a step back as they looked at me with their eyes widened.

Initially, they were going to attack immediately, but when they saw my attire, they took a pause before observing me with even more caution.

"Morpheus? What is he doing here?" One of the bandits spoke as he observed me.

"Nobody told me that he would be involved with the Witch Sisters," another spoke out in panic as he tried to run away from here immediately.

[Dark Chains!]

But the chains covered his entire body, while his body started burning because of the Dark Magic. Even still, he tried his best, but alas, he wasn't strong enough.

Same goes for the three of them who tried a sneak attack from behind.

As for the left, 5 of them,

"Morpheus. We did not know that you were not involved," one of the female spoke as she took off her mask, showing her face. She was a cat woman with furry ears and cat-like eyes.

I was essentially a good person. But part of my habits included finding information about other people that are present around me, especially the mercenaries.

And from what I remember, she was one of the people who killed children and beautiful women for fun. To be direct, she was a lesbian cat that enjoyed the misery of kids and women she finds fascinating.

Sadist through and thorough.

"Rest of you take off your masks," I spoke, and the others did too.

I looked around before I saw their faces and concluded that they were all scums beyond saving. Pathetic as they could be.

[Dark Chains!]

"Huh! Wait-" the cat woman shouted as visible fear appeared on her face.

[Hellfire!]

And using one of my signature skills, that gives out a pain filled dark fire, I created a ring of fire around me.

"AAAAAA!!!!!!!"""

"AAAAA!!!!!"

"NOOOAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

"SAVEE ME!!!!!"

The fire caused an immense amount of pain, making them shout so loudly that might have woken up everyone around. Though it was fine, since this wasn't the first time I had done something like that.

Part of the reason why the nights were so empty in this city was actually me. While the crime rate was essentially high before I appeared in this city, now even the bandits were scared to work here.

And because I completed all my work better than any other mercenary, the mercenary organization even turned a blind eye to this.

Though it seemed like the pathetic cry of these scums attracted the attention of two witch sisters as they came outside the store, observing me with a fear filled gaze.

'Now to introduce Morpheus to them,' I smiled on the inside as I moved closer to them, to start the second part of my plan.
