My Life in Multiverse

Ch 4 - Adventure

Alex smiled, caressing her back. "Nothing will happen so relax... Hehe, I know the best way to distract you. I haven't collected my reward for today."

"B-But..." Lily's face turned even redder as she stuttered.

"No more buts," Alex smirked and caught her lips, locking it into a sensual kiss.

Lily couldn't escape and could only give in, feeling herself turning hot as she wrapped her arms around him.

{Take your mind out of the gutter and don't assume things that will not happen any time soon.}

The next day, Lily woke up early in the morning, staring at Alex's sleeping face. Her face turned red as she remembered something, bringing her face close to his face.

'He is such a bad boy forcing me to wake him with a kiss. It seems like we are a newlywed couple. Hehe~...'

Lily pressed her lips and kissed him. 'N-Now wake up~ I have to go back to church...'

Alex felt something wet on his lips and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes met with Lily who was kissing him.

He wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer.

'Such a good girl~ Who can resist waking up from a kiss from a beauty!'

Alex and Lily made out for a few minutes before they separated and returned to church, hand-in-hand.

Alex was very satisfied with his decision not to console Yuno last time since he could see the determination of the little fellow via his eyes as they held a glow inside them that didn't exist in them before.

Yuno asked Alex for help to improve himself and so Alex gave him some tips to enhance his physical strength since he could not share the breathing method with Yuno because of Eden's restrictions.

And just like that, both Alex and Yuno started training on their own. Well, technically, Alex was not alone since he was being trained by Eden.

The spring came and passed with winter arriving. The circle continued signifying the passage of time. Two years passed and Father Orsi and Sister Lily got busy with taking care of the new children received by the church, Nash and the gang were very young and needed extra care...

Alex also helped them, reducing the pressure on the old man and his dear girl.

Finally, at the age of 11, Alex decided to leave the church to earn money as the donations were not enough to take care of the children and the conditions were getting worse with the addition of more children.

And since he was the eldest, he thought it was his responsibility to take care of such matters...

"Father! Father!"

Father Orsi was praying to god as his usual routine in the morning when Sister Lily's voice interrupted him. He raised his head and saw Sister Lily running towards him with tears flowing from her eyes, her hand holding a paper.

"Sister Lily, what happened? Why are you crying?"

"Father, Asta... he... he..."

"What happened to Asta?" Father Orsi's face changed instantly after hearing Asta's name and couldn't help but ask quickly.

Alex was the most mature and responsible kid in the church, helping him and Sister Lily, with taking care of other children, especially Yuno and even helping with all the chores. Of all the kids, he was the closest with Father Orsi and Sister Lily.

"He... He left the church!" She cried even more, tears showing no signs of slowing down.

"What?!" Father Orsi couldn't help but exclaim. He couldn't believe his hearing and asked again. "Asta left the church? Sister Lily, what the hell are you saying?"

"Father, I'm speaking the truth. I found this letter near his bed." She quickly waved the letter to him.

"Show me," Father Orsi took the letter from her and read it.

'Father, Sister Lily, when you get this letter, I have already crossed the Hage village. I'm going outside to earn money, gain experience, and improve myself. Please don't worry about me and take care of others, especially Yuno. Tell that brat that I'll never forget about our promise and he should continue practicing to improve himself further. I'm not going to hear any excuse later. And you two should also take care of yourselves. I'll be back soon. Love you both!... And Sister Lily, please don't cry. Only a smile suits your beautiful face.
— Asta'

Tears rolled down Father Orsi's face as he couldn't help but cry. Sister Lily consoled the old man but she was even unable to control her tears as she was very worried about Alex too.

After all, Alex had become her everything aside from the church which was their home. Despite not wanting it, she had become attached to Alex nagging and love for her every day...

While this was happening at the church, another incident shocked the residents of the Village.

According to the rumors, the Grimoire Tower located in the Hage village was attacked by an unknown person.

In the early morning, the news spread in the village that someone infiltrated the tower.

There seemed to be nothing missing from the tower but it was quite alarming as something like that had never happened before in the history of the Grimoire tower.

...

After a few days somewhere in the Commoner Realm

*Bang!*

The door of the mercenary guild was pushed open and a person entered inside.

Everyone turned their attention towards the newcomer and saw a man dressed in black with a white demonic mask. He was carrying a big bag on his shoulder.

Even though it caused everyone to be curious, nobody dared to approach him since he was giving a rather dangerous vibe.

The masked man walked over to the counter and said. "I want to apply for a job and..."

With that, he put the bag on the counter. "Want to sell these things if possible."

The man at the counter was surprised at first before nodding his head. He opened the bag and saw materials like herbs, animal parts, and a few more things.

"Please wait here," The man quickly nodded and took the bag inside.

The masked man sat down on the stool near the counter.

After a few minutes of waiting, the clerk returned with a small bag. "Sir, here is the money for all the materials. It's 372 Yul coins... And there is currently a job available. How many people are on your team?"

"I work alone." The masked man took the small bag from the clerk and glanced at the paper on the table. 'It's a beast hunting job, huh.'

"I'll take this job." He said before walking out.

The masked man exited the building and walked towards the forest.
