《A New Light In Interria》Chapter 16: Conflicts

I hastily collected the flakes that were scattered all over the room and put them in a small bag in my backpack. Then I turned to Veene.
"My arm just now was a transformation skill. You don't have to worry." I tried to look calm as I spoke.
"Of course, Mr. Hades." The girl answered bluntly.
"And just then when I was in the bathroom, I saw bloodstains. Is it you?" I ask.
"Mr. Hades, that's...it's..." The girl hesitated.
"Just tell me, Veene. Whatever it is, I won't blame you." I pat her head.
"I just don't want you to get worried."
Saying that Veene turned around, took off her shirt, and revealed 3-4 long overlapping scars that were still on her back and a bruise. One of them had healed and faded while the others appeared to have been lightly washed by water.
"Probably from the Legions. Those bastards." I thought to myself.
"Mr. Hades, you don't need to worry too much. I've already washed the wound with water, so it'll be fine in a few days." The girl said while putting her shirt back on.
"That won't be enough. I won't be able to rest easy if you happen to have an infection. Do you remember the Drain Touch skill?"
"Yes, Mr. Hades." She looked at me with a questionable look.
"Then can you use it on me?" I said that as I extended my hand toward her.
"Are you sure, Mr. Hades?" The girl was scared.
"I will be fine. Just do it, your wound healing is more important." I hold the girl's hand.
Veene was silent and cast his skill. Her surroundings began to emit white mana. She absorbed all of her mana, it seemed that things were getting better. I started to feel more tired, my face became paler. But if Veene is okay then fine...

"Arghh.." My mouth suddenly spurted out blood. I covered my mouth with my hand and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Hades, you…are…" She was beginning to panic.
"It's okay, I'm just…" Despite saying that, blood still gushed out of my mouth.
"I need to go find Sophia, she'll know what to do." Saying that she rushed out of the room before I could stop her.

MP has decreased, is it because I used that skill for too long. Damn, I can't even stand up.
"Hades, I hear you're not feeling well. I'll go see what's wrong with you?" Sophia burst into the room and lifted me, with Veene and Puff behind.
"I'm fine, it's just…" I tried to straighten up.
"Overuse mana, right?" Sophia said while she was taking a white potion out of her pocket and giving it to me.
"What is this." I took the potion.
"Drink it. And what the hell is going on here, Veene." She looked at Veene.
I drank the potion, it tasted quite sweet like sugar mixed with water.
"That's because of me, Lord Hades just wanted to heal the wound on my back," Veena said.
"Wound ?" Sophia asked.
"Umm..." Veene stammered.
Sophia sighed, turned Veene around, and untied Veene's shirt revealing the scars on her back.
"Listen, Sophia, can I explain?"
"Tch. Please explain this to me very clearly, Hades. Why are there scars on Veene, otherwise…" Sophia pulled a pistol from her right thigh and pointed it at me.

"Sister Sophia, please listen to my explanation." Veene looked at Sophia and me, tears starting to fall on her rosy cheeks.
"Listen, Sophia. If I was the one who caused this, I wouldn't have come this far." I explain.
"Then who caused it, Hades?" Sophia asked angrily as her finger slowly pull the trigger.
"Sister Sophia, please this is not Mr. Hades' fault. It is the fault of this slave." Veene grabbed Sophia's shirt, knelt on the ground, and removed the cloth from her right arm.
It turned out to be a circular tattoo illuminated by an X.
"Oh, my Morlock. Slave imprint ?" Sophia was stunned.
"Lord Hades saved me from being in prison. I owe him my life so I beg sister Sophia not to kill Mr. Hades." Veene grabbed Sophia by the shirt and knelt on the ground.
"Veene." I stepped closer and reached out to support Veene.
"Mr. Hades, please don't touch me." In response to my heart, Veene jumped back in fear. When she calmed down, she replied shakingly.
"Veene, lie down on the bed, and I'll make the ointment." Sophia sighed then picked up a piece of cloth and gave it to Veene to cover the tattoo on her right arm.
When I think I have understood a bit more about this world, there is still much more to know.

8 94Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
