《My Pirate System》Chapter 29: Some Items From Mornil
Advertisement
The next day, Shiro woke up when he heard Mornil's mutterings.
"I suppose Shiro needs more food. I should have bought more buns…", Mornil mumbled as he continued packing all the items on the table.
Shiro stretched his arms as he got down from the couch. Last night, Mornil insisted that Shiro slept on his bed.
However, Shiro refused. He was a guest after all. How could he just take Mornil's bed?
Not like Mornil was any rich to have a luxurious bed. He did own one, but it was pretty much rag-tagged. Truth to be told, finding a good furniture in this low-class town would be equivalent to finding a treasure!
Eventually, Mornil agreed, after making sure Shiro was warm for the night with the blanket.
"Good morning, uncle…", Shiro greeted Mornil.
"Oh, good morning, Shiro! Come here and see what other things you need…", Mornil said as he motioned his hand towards Shiro.
Shiro walked to Mornil and his eyes widened in shock as he saw the items that were on the table.
There were almost a dozen buns and a few pastries by the side. There was also a brown pouch, possibly filled with coins.
"I don't know how long you would be traveling, so I thought you might need a lot of food…", Mornil explained.
"Uncle, you don't have to give me so much food! My luggage would be heavy when I travel…", Shiro said, refusing the kind gesture, while giving out a useless concern. He had an inventory, after all, nothing would be heavy for him.
"Oh right, I did not think of that…", Mornil said sheepishly.
"I'll just give you five buns, that'll last you for two days or more.", he said.
And now, Shiro grumbled. He was getting so many buns for free and could have gone weeks without him having to worry about anything.

'Ugh, I should think twice before speaking…', he said to himself.
Mornil began counting the buns and placing them into the basket he prepared.
"Inside this pouch, I have put a few coins. Keep it safe. I gave you everything from my savings, but it might not be enough. Remember to only use them during emergencies…", Mornil instructed as he placed the pouch into the basket.
Shiro nodded. He decided to not refuse the money, especially since he had yet to learn about the system. He remembered the reward given by the system was 200 gold coins, which should be enough, however, why should he refuse something that he was getting for free?
He learned this a few seconds ago!
"Do you need anything else?", Mornil asked.
"Hm, do you have a hoodie, uncle? I need to travel as discrete as possible since I am on the Wanted Posters…", Shiro asked politely.
"Oh right! How could I forget?", Mornil said as he rushed to his bedroom.
After a while, Mornil came out with an old grey coat. "I couldn't find one your size, but I suppose this will do."
Mornil handed the coat to Shiro. Shiro accepted it gratefully and put it on.
Earlier, he had searched for clothes in his own house, however, to cover himself, there was only a shawl. A hoodie would be better, and he remembered seeing Mornil wearing it once. Hence, he didn't hesitate to ask about it.
Regardless, it was very big, but it covered his body entirely. If he wore this, then he would not have to worry about being seen.
"Is it okay?", Mornil asked, concerned.
"Yes, it's fine. Thank you, uncle…", Shiro thanked Mornil.
"That's good. Have some buns as breakfast before you go…", Mornil said as he gave a bun and some more soup to Shiro.

Shiro accepted it and started munching on the bun, drinking the soup side by side.
"Uncle, do you know think the town nearby is a good option? Isn't there any other town that I can visit?", Shiro asked with his mouth full, again.
"Hmm, well, you can go to the next village, not the nearby one, but the one in the other direction. You just need to walk for 5 hours or more to the west, past the forest and you'll reach there.", Mornil recommended an entirely different place.
Shiro nodded as he swallowed the food in his mouth. "Thank you, uncle, I will do that."
"Try not to stay in one place for too long. Otherwise, the Anti-Pirate Federation can catch up to you…", Mornil reminded Shiro gently. He was feeling very worried for Shiro. Since he would not be able to be there with him, Mornil wanted to give advice to Shiro as much as possible.
"I'll keep that in mind, uncle."
"Oh right! I should give you some medicine just in case you get sick…", Mornil said as he rushed to the other side of the house, where he stored most of his medicine.
He came back with three small brown packs, some syrup bottles, and some natural herbs packed in a leaf wrapping.
"These three packs are conventional and can be used to cure common colds. Boil one packet at a time and drink it for three days. You'll feel better after that. Also, this herb in the green wrapping is for fever.", Mornil said as he placed the brown packs into the basket with the herb.
He then added, "This syrup bottle is to treat excess cough.", he showcased a bottle with a white cap.
And then, the one with the red cap, while saying, "This is more like a potion. If you get hurt, then just drink this, and the wounded part will be restored."
When he showcased the healing potion, Shiro was bewildered. He asked, "Wait, does that mean I can get hurt as much as I want, but as soon as I drink this potion, the wound will vanish?"
Mornil shook his head saying, "No. You can use it only once, and you have to drink it entirely."
"At most, it can only cure scratches and small cuts.", he said.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Sick - An Irondad Story
"I looked over at my usually gallant father, who had dried tears streaking his face. I felt awful, not because I was in pain, but because I made my father heartbroken. I never wanted him to feel this pain." Or, Peter's battle with a terminal illness that will destroy so much more than himself. This was a school project, so I had to cut some real MCU things out, but other then that the names stay the same. 06/20/2022 AN: Hey guys. This story is five years old at this point. That's pretty crazy. While I have moved on to other fandoms in that time, it's great to see people interacting with this. I'm not sure how well it holds up, especially with Creep by Radiohead being in it (idk what I was thinking lmfaoo), but I'm glad to see that some people still enjoy it. Have a good one. :)
