Chapter 22: First Mission.

"Old man, if you can't control your kid inside this kind of place where big men roam around drunk, it's your fault in the beginning right?" Viktor said.

"It was your fault why my baby fell, give her money back!!"

"Ask her how much she lost."

"I had 10 gold coins within me," the little girl said while standing behind his father's back.

"And how much does the wine cost, old man?"

"It's 1 gold per bottle," the old man said.

"How much did I give you?"

"10 gold customer. You took it out from your bag behind you, that girl was nowhere near you when you already paid me." The seller said.

"No!!! Then where's my money!!!! I saw him take all the money from my bag!!!!" She was screaming in rage and her eyes were pure red."

It was so sure that she was controlling all the people with the power of the demon god. She is charming everyone around her. Also her dad.

She is a beautiful girl with brown hair and black eyes. A young girl at 13, she was the same age as Alberto.

But she is corrupted down from her core.

"But the seller said I already paid him when you bumped into me. " he leaned a little to her face and said,

"Why would you bump into me when I was just standing here? Are you blind? "

He smiled a little because she was desperately trying to use charm on Viktor and the seller but it wasn't working.

"Customer, please go away and control your child. I won't allow any troublesome person in this peaceful shop." The owner said.

"Yes, I am sorry for her please forgive her. We will go."

"Wait, here's your money. Now go. Don't make any person wrongly blamed for any crime, okay young girl?"

"No!!! Daddy!!! He's the reason why I fell!! Dad!!! Punish him!!! He's at fault, not me. Dad!!!!!"

She screamed like a spoiled brat and kept screaming while her dad was caring for her all the way up to the second floor where they might've rented a room.

"I am sorry for the disturbance customer! Please have this bottle as an apology." The owner said.

"Oh, thank you so much, you people are really nice, I guess I will come here sometimes to buy a big stock!"

"That will be our honour."

He left the shop after he had a drink in a bar for the first time. It was a great experience in his life.

"I just hope the story won't change after what I've done to her. But I gave her some money, right? She is a greedy person who doesn't like to let go of anything that she wants. I hope this doesn't change her setting. "

-He walked out of the bar and put his bottles inside his left crest.

-I need to make a plan for my mission now. This is my first mission so I will be making my plan on 10/10 . I want to see those side-story characters with my own eyes.

Viktor brought some food and went back to his inn to rest for the night, because he will leave Falcon city tomorrow morning.

-But I am too excited to sleep.

And just like that, he fell asleep late and woke up pretty late. He was sleeping peacefully because there was no morning bell at 4 AM. So he woke up at 11 AM.

-I can't believe I am so late. But look at me, I slept for 9 hours straight.

He opened the window and saw the huge city in front of him. It was really big and beautiful. The imperial palace tower was visible from his room . He looked at it closely and saw it had a bell on top of it.

"So every noble house has that kind of bell? Old people will have a heart attack in their sleep."

He prepared his backpack and went downstairs to have his breakfast.

"Good morning lady."

"Oh, Viktor it's not morning. It's already noon. Did you wake up just now?"

"Mm. Yes."

"A young man should wake up early . The breakfast time is over so I will give you lunch now, with a salad. "

"Thank you lady."

"You're welcome. "

Viktor looked around the dining hall but it was nearly empty. It was working hours, so all the customers had already left the inn for work. He took a seat beside the window and the owner's daughter came to serve the food to Viktor.

"Thank you for waiting. Here's your lunch. Please enjoy!"

"Thank you little girl "

He thanked the baby girl and patted her head.

-Such a lovely hardworking child !

"The inn's food is really good . If I ever came back here to visit, I will come here for sure. But where can I post a review about this place? Oh, there's no Wi-Fi or phone in this world. "

"I totally forgot about it."

He paid the owner the money and left the place with some food in his hand. He took it because he will need it on his journey.

He started to walk to a road which leads to the dark forest. He looked back and saw the city was getting smaller and smaller and the forest in front of him looked closer, but it wasn't. His eyes were playing tricks on him.

'I can see the forest already, but I know it's about 40 km away. It's just those trees which are massive in size."

The dark forest is the biggest and the most mysterious forest on this continent. It's the size of a kingdom but no one dares go inside because it's super dangerous. If a group of people went inside, there will be no way out for them. They will become lost forever.

The dark forest acts like it's alive. It attracts people inside like magnets . That's why all the kingdoms declared this place a wasteland and ordered all the people to move their houses. So there is no civilization around here. Not even a single person.

'But the rule doesn't apply to me. I know every detail of that forest from head to toe. I just need to go where and find my way to that area.

Because he is waiting for me.
