《I don't want to be a hero》Chapter 27: Interrogation part 2
Advertisement
"So I guess you heard the rumor that we kidnap little children, and you just believe it?"(boobs) play dumb
"I know it's true! You have my two brothers"(Sara) said with no doubt
By this time she was completely sure they had them, even if it was a form of denial
"Fine, let's just say for arguments sake that we did kidnap them, what did you think would happen if you ask around about us?"(boobs) fished for an answer
"I wanted to find my brothers' location and rescue them"(Sara)Said her master plan carefully planned
It sucked......
Don't expect a masterful plan from a little kid guys. It was already decent the way she tried to get information, she just didn't expect someone to tell on her
"Did you think a little kid like you could take on all of us and rescue your brothers? Dream on kid"(bald) tried to taunt her
"If I couldn't, I would have ask help from uncle Muscle, I am sure he would have found a way!"(Sara) fell for it
"Then why not ask help from the start? If you are so close, he could have come himself instead of doing everything yourself"(Boobs)
"He didn't like it when I asked about you, so I have to find the information myself"(Sara) said a little embarrassed
She depended a lot on Uncle Muscle and felt a little bad for doing this behind his back, but finding her family was too important to be left alone to luck or chance. She wanted to find them no matter what, even Jess that she kind of knew how she was
It is true that she didn't properly consider the dangers of doing this, but even if she knew it was more dangerous than she thought, she would have done it anyways. It was that important to her

And as for the other 2(3), from the looks on their face, they understood a little more about the situation
If they believed what Sara said, she knew and worked for Prometheus(as they called him) but he refused to help her searching for information about them, so she came alone
Actually, they did believe her, since what they said next kind of confirmed it
"Was she telling the truth?"(bald) asked boobs
"Yeah, or, at least, she believes what she said. She could be brainwashed for all we know"(Boobs)
"Na, Prometheus was a villain, but he had some principles. He wasn't the type to alter people's minds"(bald)
"Mmm, let's see. What do you plan to do if we let you go kid?"(boobs)
"Keep looking for my brothers"(Sara) said honestly
Hard to say if it was the best idea under the circumstances. Saying that would mean she was still a threat, but they probably had a way to tell if she was lying according to the conversation they just had
As for Sara, she didn't think that far. She just felt there was no point in lying
"Shit, she isn't lying, isn't she? wwhat do we do"(Bald) said while panicking a little
"No idea, sir?"(Boobs) finally addressed the third guy, hiding on the back of Sara
"Well, scaring her would be a possibility, but considering she knows Prometheus and may even be in good terms with him, it is too dangerous to try. Sara, right? how does Uncle Muscle treat you?"(guy 3) Said the guy as he appeared in Sara's line of vision
Unlike the other 2, that had developed parts all over their bodies, and were around 20, the third guy looked more normal. He was 25-30, had an average face with black hair and a pair of glasses, was around 1.75m and it looked like he didn't train his body at all and had a calm expression on his face

Compared to the bald guy just beside him, it was like an elephant and a mouse beside each other. The funny part was that like an elephant, you could see the fear in the bald guys eyes, and in boobs too
He was the leader of the group, and probably more than just that
Not like Sara noticed all that. To her, it was just one more guy appearing, and an answer of why she heard some laughter on her back
"He cook me food and give me jobs"(Sara) admit, but didn't felt like telling all he did for her, it was none of their business
"So you do jobs for him and he pays you food?"(third guy/boss)
"No, he give me food and I do jobs for him"(Sara) It sounded similar, but the meaning is different
"So, I guess they are close?"(Bald) asked the boss
"It could also mean she is just thankful and he is taking advantage of her"(Boobs)
"Uncle Muscle isn't taking advantage of me!!"(Sara) said in an angry voice
She didn't like that someone was bad mouthing someone she cared about
"Fine, fine. Sorry for doubting about Uncle Muscle"(boobs) said apologetic
No point in arguing with a little kid
"So, what do we do with her sir? kill her, release her, threatened her?"(Boobs)asked his boss
"Mmm, hard to tell. We can't release her just like that since she wants something from us and won't stop until she get's it. Both threatening and killing her may piss off Prometheus, and no one wants that. I guess we have no choice but to kidnap her and see how Prometheus react"(Boss)
"But sir, we can't look after a kid. We are too busy to look after her properly, and if she managed to get away, she may jeopardise the whole operation"(Bald) said while waving his hand in refusal
"Who said we would be looking after her. I was thinking more in the line of granting her wish"(boss)
"You don't mean sending her there, right?"(bald) asked a little scared
"Why not? we have a hole system that looks after kids, it's impossible to escape, she will be monitored all day, and as long as we don't put her on the dangerous experiments, she should be fine. It's perfect"(boss)
"And if she has powers?"(boobs)
"We have one for powers too, you know? It just works differently than the one you two came from. I am sure you fought some guys you never saw before that had strange powers"(Boss)
"I thought they were the special projects"(Bald)
"Na, just from the other facility. Any more questions? We don't have all day and we still haven't dealt with the kid"(boss)
"Sorry boss"(bald/boobs)said apologetic
"Knock her down then, we are taking her to the research facility"(Boss) said while pointing at Sara
Sara, meanwhile, was confused by the whole situation, but before she could sort out everything they said, Boobs sprayed her face with some gas and was instantly know out

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.

The Everburn Mage
As a child, Rune Ransford held admirable aspirations of following his father's footsteps by joining the military as a combat mage. These skilled practitioners of magic helped to close the curtain on the much dreaded 7 Year War between his home country of Esteras and the nations that threatened to destroy it. Possessing a natural aptitude for manifesting and manipulating fire magic, as well as receiving support from his family, his mind had long since been made up. He would be a mage that would make them proud. However, a single, bloodshed night was enough to change his fate forever. Before his eyes, he witnessed every soul he loved perish in an undying inferno. The worst part of it all wasn't that he was helpless to save them. No, what plagues his mind even to this day is that everyone is convinced that he is responsible for their deaths. That he is a cruel devil who walked through a sea of fire and lived. Now, serving in the military as a fully-fledged combat mage, he intends to uncover the truth of what really happened in his tragic past. What Rune has yet to realize, however, is that there are larger, more malicious forces at play. Forces connected to his family’s untimely demise. Forces lurking in the shadows of the very country he lives. And forces striving to alter the course of Esteras' history. Brandishing his flames of suffering, The Everburn Mage takes his first step into a world of loss, iniquity, and betrayal.
