Cruel Fate (Gacha System x D×D)

Chapter 22

The Irons and remaining magical beasts are on their way back to the village now and Haru is riding with Iron 3. The insects are also going back to their nest. Iron 1 and 2's shadow gale wolves are with them, searching Erboa for any good items. After 3 hours, they finally reached the village, Iron 3 brought Haru to his tent and set up a bed for him to lay on. 'I can't train, I can't fight, the only thing I can do right now is to meditate and practice new skills.' Haru thought to himself, laying on his bed. Iron 3, 4 and 5 are standing near Haru to defend him after having bandaged his wounds, while the villagers tend to their own wounds.

~Later~

It's already night, Beru and Iron 1 and 2 have already came back with some weapons, potions, magic items, raw ores and information. Unfortunately, there were no regeneration potions, only healing ones. "Your Highness, Hanua is planning to attack Vorvrea in 2 months." Iron 1 informed Haru. "What? Are they crazy? They just destroyed Dwerga and now they're trying to take over Vorvrea?" Haru said, dumbfounded by the mastermind behind Hanua's rise. Vorvrea is a kingdom of demi-humans, the royalty being High-Elves. They may not have as much man-power as Dwerga had, but they have extremely cunning and smart people on their side. 'They probably have a chance with the 5 Mighty Heroes and 5 of the heroes in Dwerga on their side.' Haru analysed. '.... Shit. I need to increase my mana as much as possible or I won't be able to use my skills for too long. If I ever want to defeat the ones titled heroes, I need to be able to use my buffs for at least 1 hour and be able to lift a huge boulder without skills. And I also need more magical spells. If only I have my skills from the system.' Haru said to himself after a sigh. "My Liege, allow me to search for a being with strong healing skills and consume them so I can heal your legs." Beru suggested. "Sure, but run away as fast as you can if you encounter an opponent you can't beat." Haru warned. " Understood, my Liege." Beru said, then flew off somewhere. 'I'm so pathetic, I'll just work on my mana pool for now.' Haru thought, relaxing his whole body and closing his eyes, then focused on meditation.

One day passed, Haru is still meditating, of course he had occasional breaks to eat and drink. Beru still hasn't returned, so Haru became a bit worried. He then proceeded to use Insect Scrying to see through Beru's eyes. He was flying, searching for anything that can help his king. He deactivated Insect Scrying then continued to meditate. One more day pass, Beru is still in search for a skill that can heal limbs, he did find some healers but they were incompetent and could only heal minor wounds. Haru is still meditating with food breaks here and there. Then another day passed, Haru and Beru are still doing their own thing. When it reached dawn, Beru came back and flew straight into Haru's tent. "I have found it, my Liege!" Beru exclaimed, walking to Haru. "Found what?" Haru asked, stopping his meditation. "A potion that can regenerate limbs." Beru said, taking out a small vial filled with red liquid. "Where..... did you find that?" Haru asked, curious how he got a regeneration potion. "From an elf village inside the Forest of Vorja." Beru deadpanned, making Haru mentally slap his face. "So you massacred a whole village of elves and stole their treasures." Haru said, looking at the huge leather bag Beru is holding over his shoulder. Vorja Forest is a part of Vorvrea, and also where the Druidic Dragon lives. 'How did Beru not get killed by the Druidic Dragon, Sylva for destroying a whole elf village. Whatever, I'm still grateful I can get my legs back.' Haru thought to himself, then Beru opened the lid and handed the potion to Haru. Haru drank it without a second thought and waited for the effects. Then suddenly, his wounds bubbled then formed into his legs. His left leg was fully healed, along with his right feet.

"Thank you, Beru." Haru said after standing up and testing his legs. "It is my pleasure, my Liege." Beru said while bowing with his hand on his chest. 'But.... why do I still have my super soldier body, but I don't have the regeneration from being a titan shifter. This some bullshit.' Haru cursed the virus. 'And how long will it take for the system to repair itself? I'm missing Calli already.' He cursed the virus again. Haru then went out of his tent and looked at some children playing. 'For now, I'll just take my time and get stronger.' Haru thought to himself. Now is a good time to say that, there is something called Power Potential. Power Potential is basically like a water bottle, when it is filled, it cannot be filled any further. And beings like magical beasts, humans, elves ect ect has Power Potential. Once someone has reached their limit, they can't grow stronger. The only way to increase one's Power Potential is by eating a Divine Apple from a World Tree. And everyone has their own amount of Power Potential. Jerrick, like the prodigy he is, has Power Potential that surpasses even his father. But Haru isn't in Jerrick's body, he only got his memories and special talent.
