“You going early again, Jason?”

He turned around and found Ron smiling at him, “You know me haha”

“Sure do, but today you seem a lot happier than usual. Did something good happen?”

He shook his head and walked towards the kid’s desk, “It’s not that something good happened but I feel good about today.”

“Oh, I wish that I had your happy attitude haha, well good luck then.”

Jason nodded and turned around to walk out the door, “Tell those two to leave a note of where they are going to be after they accept a request."

“You got it.”

As Jason walked the trail that he had walked so many times before he began thinking about the past weeks. It’s been about 50 days since he came to this new world and began living on his own. At first, he was worried about actually making it, he had read numerous mangas about situations like his but it was still scary as hell.

‘Fortunately, those two behaved and now their loyalty score is somewhere in the 80s. After working together for nearly 2 months we've been able to make a good sum of money. With the money, they earned Tristain and Jack became adventurers after paying the guild card fees. While they worked on requests that mainly had to do with construction I go to the forest and collect fruits.’

While he was walking he suddenly started hearing loud yelling coming from behind, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

‘More people are following, looks like people can’t make a decent living because greedy people like them always try to bring you back down.’

After collecting large quantities of Sky Fruits for so long, he had gathered a lot of unwanted attention. People had tried to follow him and find his secret of getting so many fruits. Luckily the Sunlight Monkeys sensed that something was up and they have been helping him get away from all the troubles.

Jason knew how profitable collecting the Sky Fruits was, the problem was that he always ended up covered in fruit juice. Thankfully after a few tries, he was able to develop a deal.

One day while he waited for the monkeys to start throwing fruits at him, he ate blood berries which he had found on some bushes. The monkeys seemed to take interest in the fruit and the next thing he knew they had formed some kind of agreement.

While the racket was occurring behind him he removed his cloak and white mask. The treetops of a nearby tree began shaking and a Sunlight monkey climbed down. It grabbed him with one of its hands and it began climbing back up. Once they were above the treetops he let go and sat him on one of the branches.

The yelling from below began to quiet down and not much time passed before the monkeys began gathering around him holding Sky Fruits. Jason smiled and he brought out the tree sacks and one by one they began placing the fruits inside. When the three bags were full he brought out three large wooden containers of red berries.

The Sunlight Monkeys quickly grabbed them and began eating, when the containers were gone they looked at him with a sad expression. Jason couldn’t help but laugh, the monkeys acted like little kids at times, and yet they were incredibly smart.

He placed the fruits that were on the bags into his storage, the moment that the monkeys saw the empty sack they began cheering loudly and gathering more fruits. Once the sacks were full he filled the containers back up and they once again began eating.

While he waited for them to finish he opened up his status window

‘I finally have enough points for another roll, I've been saving up all these weeks for this day. Our next move will depend on what I roll today.’

((Gacha Roll))

Once again Jason found himself in the pitch-black space with the two Gacha Machines in front of him. This time he had decided ahead of time and he walked towards the Gacha with the white and gold wings.

He pressed the button in front of the machine and waited as the particles of light entered the machine. It wasn’t long till a blue gacha ball, which seemed to be wrapped in a pair of wings, rolled through the spiral tray.

Jason opened it and found a piece of paper like last time.

[[Rare]]

{5 Angelic Feathers}

- Feathers of the wings of an angel that possessed the Holly Flame attribute. The host is able to control their trajectory from a 15ft radius.

(Host is Immune to the Holly Flame of the feathers)

It took Jason a fat minute before he could process what he had just read. After watching the small paper disintegrate he couldn’t help but jump from joy.

“Hell yeah! I just got a Yondu skill!”

He quickly pulled one out from his storage space and an 8-inch long feather appeared out of thin air. It was beautiful and all but there was a small problem, it looked just like a normal feather.

‘Where is the fire?’

After a few minutes, he figured out that he could make them flame up on command. Since he was in the dark space he was able to appreciate the golden flame that surrounded the feather.

When he touched the feather he found out that it was as hard as metal if not harder but it also seemed to be flexible. He practiced moving it for a bit but he almost impaled himself by accident.

‘This is going to take a while to get used to but at least now I have a magic and range attack. Those damn Grimores cost a fortune, 10 gold for basic fireball magic! Those nobels can screw themselves.’

When he left the space he found that one of the baby monkeys had grabbed his mask and was playing around with it. He didn’t like having to wear a mask but not that long ago he had spotted some of the soldiers from the Runeguard family. There were several people wearing masks so he decided that it’s something that he would like to try. He hated people staring at him with disgust everywhere he went so it helped somewhat.

He felt bad but he had to take it away, now that the monkeys had finished the blood berries and delivered the Sky Fruits he could go and start his plan.
