Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 120

Eisen looked at his group of friends and companions as they were staring at him in confusion, until two people, or rather little monster girls, broke the silence.

"Eisen! I has a mouth now!" A certain myconid girl exclaimed happily as she came running up to Eisen to hug him. It seemed like Caria had evolved throughout all of this, turning into a Lesser Myconid Druid, the 'Lesser' probably referring to the 'Druid' part of her new race title. She had grown a little bit again, but not as drastically as before, just a few inches taller. Her skin was still pretty white, but more in the way that a pale human's would be. Overall, she just looked like a pale little girl with black eyes, wearing a large red and white witch hat and a red dress.

But not only Caria evolved to become Rank 3, Melissa also evolved toward rank 2 and became a Crowned Queen Bee. She had become a lot larger, having grown to be double the size she was before, and phyisically changed a lot otherwise as well. It seemed as if Melissa was also slowly going to become more and more humanoid the more she evolved, as rough humanoid shapes could be seen, especially in her face, but it wasn't anything that you would really see or notice if you didn't pay much attention to it. Humming happily, Melissa chose to sit down on Eisen's shoulder and rubbed her head on his cheek.

With a smile on his face, Eisen squatted down onto the ground and rubbed the top of Caria and Melissa's heads. "Well done, I'm proud of you two." He replied as he happily looked at his two tamed monsters, while the rest of his group came back up to him once the tension was broken down.

"That was quite... intense." Jyuuk admitted as he leaned onto his staff and one after another stored his beasts on his skin again, and Evalia nodded quite quickly.

"You can say that again... Erm, what the hell was that all about?" She asked, and Eisen began scratching the back of his head.

"I got angry... And that's not the first time that I have done this. To get the two shards of the amulet, I used different skills of mine together to make myself look like that, and it seems like it worked out in the end. But... Now, it seems like I'm literally seen as a Demon because of it." Eisen muttered out, before he looked back at the notification still flying next to him. "I even got a Title to confirm that."

And that sentence simply caused both Bree and Sky to jump in surprise before they looked at Eisen in curiosity that immediately dissipated the confusion and worry from before.

"What do you mean? Did you get a Unique Title?" Bree asked as she looked up at the old man with her eyes glittering, and similarly, Sky stood next to her, looking at Eisen in awe. These two were definitely siblings, for sure.

"Yes, I did. But could we maybe talk about this somewhere else? This looks quite... well, bad. Should we hurry back to the Inn? It's a bit out of the way and we can talk there in peace. I especially need to talk to you, Komer." Eisen said as he looked over at the young man, whose face seemed to be drained completely of color as he was staring at the figures of his brothers lying on the floor. Quietly, the group then walked all the way back to the Inn as fast as they could, trying to avoid as many people as possible and then simply made their way to their room. It was somewhat crowded, but still better than the other choice they had, the carriage.

From Around the Web

As everyone took a seat on the beds, Eisen stood in the center of the room and began to talk. "Alright everyone. It seems like I won't be able to stay here in Ornier much longer. I've just horribly scared dozens of people, and I doubt that I'll be able to just regularly walk around anymore. And it would be best if I didn't run into that group of Omegas anyway." Eisen explained carefully, leaving everyone to just sit there in silence, until Komer spoke up.

"They were my brothers and their goons, right? After a loss like that, neither of them will leave this be..." He explained, before nodding at Eisen's decision. "I think it would be a good idea to leave as soon as we can. Just get our business here over with and then keep driving toward that Magic City."
