Knock! Knock! The sound made by an old man's hand on the outside of Izoke's room door.

"Sir, it is Morning," Called out the elder knocking on the door.

Izoke groggily awoke to his voice. Stretching his body the young man arose from his slumber. He stretched but his body hurt all over from yesterday's exertions. Somethings it seems Fantasy collusion wants players to feel and soreness from intense battles seemed to be one such thing. It was already 9 am and Izoke was still tired from killing the Orc yesterday.

"I will come in a minute," Izoke answered lazily.

"Ok sir, we will be waiting on you for breakfast," Old man said respectfully.

A notification popped up!


100 gold coins received from quest completion of "Kill the Orc".


"Woah! She completed the quest already! This money will help a lot!"

After that, he put on his light leather armor which was located on the table in his room. Opening the door Izoke headed downstairs to the elder's dining room area. Izoke noticed the old man and Sumiko were already sitting at the dining table and breakfast was already on a plate for him. They were waiting for Izoke to come and eat together with them.

"Sorry, you guys must have been waiting for a while," Izoke said scratching the back on his neck before sitting in his chair.

"No...No, it's ok and it's only been few minutes," Sumiko said shaking her head left to right.

"Ok, let's eat." The old man said. Before eating he and Sumiko prayed to the goddess joining hands. "Oh, Mercyful lady, Thank you for the food." Seeing this, Izoke also mimics a prayer even though he now has doubts about her existence.

After finishing their prayer, they started eating. There were scrambled buttery eggs, some course white bread, and rice balls. If someone from earth saw the food they would recognize the bread as resembling a type of french bread. The rice balls were very much like the Japanese variety and the eggs were just ordinary scrambled eggs.

"Hmm! It's so tasty." Izoke exclaimed while eating.

"Sumiko made this!" The old man said pridefully smiling at his granddaughter.

"Thank you for this delicious food, Sumiko," Izoke said to Sumiko with a smile.

"Y... you're welcome," she replied shyly with a flushed face.

They finished their breakfast soon after. Now, it was the time to head to their journey.

"I guess we should be heading out now," Izoke suggested.

"Yes, you are right."

All three of them went outside. Sumiko was wearing normal casual cloth and she was holding a small handbag where she kept some food packed for the trip. Izoke had plenty of provisions in his inventory as well.

"Sumiko, Be safe and Izoke Sir, please protect my granddaughter," Old man requested tearfully.

"Ok, I will protect her. You don't have to worry so much," Izoke replied with determination.

Sumiko hugged her grandpa one last time and said her farewells. The elder was sad but he understood that he can't keep her in the house for her whole life. Izoke and Sumiko left the village on a small trail into the mountains. It was an old trail that was rarely traveled. Sumiko waved her hand at her grandpa from the distance one last time.
