AN. Shadowpire had a good point in the comments last chapter but, here’s a counter if someone has an absence of
something they love it makes you yearn for it more.
Bellator Perspective
I was awoken up by the elf named Daisy had an invitation for me for a ball that is being held in two weeks. I decided to go because, I had no good reason not to go I also wanted to meet the nobles to see if they ooze with arrogance and grease. After a week and a half I thought I should stop selling armor overall because, more than a few mad blacksmith came asking me to stop selling armor at a cheap price it is ruining their business. So I decided to just to stop my business and help the orphans that do not have food. Over the time I was not helping people I was getting acquainted to the guards or I was visiting Dan and Luxana over our conversations they told me they were angles. I acted surprise because, I was not supposed to know. I told the both of them I was a half-giant. After a while Luxana started to get more aggressive with me. I pretended to be dense again and try to shake off her advances on me but, she is starting to lean on me every time I come over and pouts when I shake off her advances. Her father seemed disappointed when I ignored his daughter to talk to him.
I not come next days (Bellator)
Why? (Laxana)
She seemed depressed when I said I can’t come to the next couple days.
Need register guild do quest (Bellator)
Fine *Pouts (Luxana)
I couldn’t resist so I ruffled her hair and she turned a shade of red I have not seen.
Bye (Bellator)
As I walked to the adventure guild a bunch of people were looking at me I already know the reason probably about rumors about me.
As I entered the adventure guild I walked up to a buff man at the counter the weird thing about him was he was wearing a really frilly dress and make-up.
How can I help a tough looking person such as yourself? (Man wearing Dress)
May register (Bellator)
May I see your status crystal so I can give you and appropriate rank they are from F-Rank Copper E-Rank Bronze, D-Rank Iron, C-Rank Silver, B-Rank Gold, A-Rank Orichalcium, S-Rank Mithril, SS-Rank Adimantium and SSS Runes. (Man wearing Dress)

I give him my Crystal and his face seemed shocked under the make-up when he sees my status
I have to talk to the guild master to approve your status. (Dress Man)
While I am waiting I order a drink. I did not want to take off my helmet so I made the bottom half be detachable. While I was drinking I noticed a bunch of gazes that were scrutinizing my armor. While I was feeling the stares I felt a stare more powerful that the rest maybe at the same level or one less than my rank. I looked and I say I women 1 or 2 inches shorter than me with blue hair. I got up reattached my helmet and walked to her.
Assume Guild Master (Bellator)
Ah it feels so good to talk to a fellow half-giant (Guild Master)
Me ask happened (Bellator)
Ah it must feel bad to talk common language let’s talk our tongue (Guild Master)
When we were talking she pretty much ask a bunch of questions then told me she needs approval from the head guild master to give me a Mithril plate so I should return in a couple days. I decide to
head to the orphanage to cook for the kids. I decide to pick up Vulpine so she can play with the kids while I cook.
When I appear all the kids in the front of the orphanage faces seem bright. When I enter I hear a bunch of voices all talking I walk go near the nose and the kids are arguing who I am going to adopt. I sigh do the not understand I’m 16 even though I act more mature face and demeanor doesn’t make me a legible candidate to be adopting. (AN. 17 years is when you are considered an adult) When I pass by they seem to freeze. I then cook for them with is about 43 people. I walk up to the orphanage owner which is a middle age women her name was Maggey she had a thin figure a stern face and greying brown hair she was an adventure when she was younger but, her knee was shattered so she quit to help orphans like her.
Oh Mr. Bellator do you need something? (Maggey) She asked this with a worried face.

Leave for while come back several days now. (Bellator)
Aw how is the old bag of bones supposed to take care of all of these children (Maggey)
I give her a small bag full of Silver and Large Copper coins I collected.
Bellator t-this is too much (Maggey)
Money take care children when gone call children I tell I leave. (Bellator)
When all the kids arrived they all looked at me with expectant faces.
Leave for while come back several days now. (Bellator)
All the Kids and teenagers faces fell when I said that and they started to panic and say stuff like Mr.Bellator is leaving us it took a while to calm them down.
When I left with Vulpine most of the kids eyes where puffy because, they finished crying. I went to the barracks and told Vulpine to protect my little room because, I will be modifying my armor for the party. My armor lost the sharp parts on the elbows, legs, and feet. I made it more intricate with designs on the arms and legs. I also added more details on the wolf coming out of my chest piece. I just made a new helmet because, I grew attached to my demon looking helmet. I made a helmet that had intricate design of wolves running in the forest this design also accented my eyes. This in turn gave me a new armor spell [Fancy Armor] I returned to my [Battle Armor] and I also added gravitanium to my training armor and my bastard sword so I can swing with more force. The next day I exercised, cooked, and meditated until 5:00 I was turning dark by now but, I disregarded that switched my armor and walked to the noble district and to the kings castle. I was stopped several times and they asked to see my invitation when I was inside the castle I expected more fat people. While I was walking by I felt stares of multiple people questioning each other of why I am wearing full plate or who I was. I disregarded them and asked a maid for a drink. While I was at the corner of the ball I noticed more stares on me. Then my instincts kicked in I felt something was wrong I felt a slight bloodlust coming from the shadow by the opposite corner of me they were really good at hiding but, not as good as the shadow wolves I met before. I stopped leaning on the wall and walked in the middle of the ball room where I saw a familiar face it was Daisy and Redhead Lady. I knew this might be a plot for an assassination attempt on the king so I decided to ruin their plans. I grabbed a wine bottle and I ripped some cloth off the table some people looked at me angrily or with curious eyes. I bent down and touched the floor I then made a metal javelin appear from the ground. People were shocked but, most were on edge I wrapped the cloth around the javelin poured the wine one it when cocked my arm to throw people tried to stop me but I did not stop when it hit the shadow at the bottom of the floor people heard a screech and looked at where the sound was coming from. The saw my flaming javelin and then saw what was pierced by it. The thing pierced by the javelin was a greater - shadow demon I walked up to it with a slow pace while the so called heroes where hiding behind
their master. It tried to claw at me but, I raised my metal boot and crushed its head. When it did that they looked baffled a greater shadow demon was at least an A+ Rank. I grabbed another cup of wine and walked to my corner. Daisy probably seen through my disguise walked up to me.
Thank you for looking after me and my bratty disciple. (Daisy)
No Problem. (Bellator)
I took off my helmet to have a drink of wine many people were shocked by how I looked but, I had a premonition so I walked outside to see whatever was giving me this bad feeling a few of the nobles and heroes followed me and there it was attacking the Royal Guards.

Their next job lands the mother-daughter team in Hellhole, a small town in the middle of nowhere. All they need to do is their job. For Mom to identify the problem, and for Ellen to... fix it. Easy. Simple. But not this time. The pair find themselves caught in the struggle between the Man-in-White and the Wicked Witch of the West. A mysterious image and the theft of a deadly flower lead the pair to a score of dead prisoners, magical drug dealers, and red-eyed assassins falling from the sky. And somehow it all seems to be related to Ellen's murky past. All Ellen wants to do is do her homework, eat ice cream, and protect her newfound friends (not necessarily in that order). She'll go all-in, guns blazing. But when the smoke clears there may be nothing left but a stranger's past and a lonely future. --- 'Kind's Kiss' is a light, modern-day fantasy, easy on the magic, heavy on the snark.

I'm still not sure if I should consider that a compliment or hire a hitman :-)
