《Survival of a healer》Chapter 13 Future of the Party
Advertisement
Arriving in front of the house in the outskirt Kevin looked at the magical moment , the red sunhine bestowed the scene an unimagineable beauty .
The smell of food drifted into Kevins nose . Stepping into the house he could see Caro carrying a steaming pot to the garden .
Seeing Kevin she smiled and said : "Wash your hands , we will eat outside ."
After washing the hands Kevin stepped outside to find the rest of the party . Polishing his sword Mark grinned at Kevin and said : "How was the first time ?"
"Stop bullying him !" interrupted An .
"Hahaha , i remember the time where you did your first monster hunt alone . That time you .... " laughed Mark .
"I don't think you have any right to make fun of anyboy when you cried and peed in your pants when you stept into the sewer ." interrupted En .
Ignoring the laughter around him Mark coughed and said : "Seems like you survived it Kevin . Gratulation !"
Embaressed Kevin sat down while the party gratulated him for his adventure baptism .
"Wow , i am doing the hard cooking job and you are enjoying yourself huh ?" teased Caro while carrying the steaming pot . Bogo followed her carrying a basked full of freshly baked bread .
"Enough teased , lets eat . I think we are all hungry , especially Kevin ." smiled Adam .
Distributing the plates the party started to eat the delicious bread and stew .
While eating Adam said something which shocked Kevin .
"We will travel towards one of the major citys in one month ."
"Mikar or Kuja ?" asked Emilia while chewing her bread in an almost royal way .
"Definitely Kuja , Mikars noble discriminates beast man and the alliance . In their opinion the humans should be the overlord ." said Bogo in a despised tone .
"No , if we travel towards a major city we should go to the capital ." added Mark .
"Even if my big brother sometimes is an annoying idiot he does sometime make good decisions . I am too for the opinion we should go to the capital . They have huge dungeon connection to the underground ." said En after Marks opinion .
"At first i wanted to start in Kuja , but the capital is way better . The only problem is that the capital is far away compared to Kuja ." said Adam .
"Ehm , why do we even travel towards one major city ?" asked Kevin . Naturally he does know that people travel towards the city for ressources like better technology and work places . But this village has everything they need so why travel ?
"Naturally because there are dungeons there . Kevin you need to know that precious ores and equipment drop there . Even legendary monsters live in dungeons . If you want to get a title you need to go into a dungeon . The drops compared to normal plains are gigantic ." explained Adam .
"To sum it up a dungeon is an endless source of treasures , titles and experience . You can even join a guild to make raids with hundreds of people ." added Bogo .
"I think you now ask why not everybody hunts in dungeon . Because the wildness is not worse than the dungeons . You can level there , you can find precious ores and materials too . But a dungeon is more practical than the wilderness . You go into the dungeon and fight , and then go out and live without any worries in the citys since monsters don't come out from the dungeon ." explained Emilia .

"Yes , i even heard that there exists wilderness dungeons in which gods live ." said Bogo .
Turning towards Kevin Adam said : "To make it short , dungeons are places where you can go into the danger but the danger can't come out . In the wilderness the danger is everywhere ."
"But once the dungeon core is destroyed , corrupted or wants to conquer humanitiy the monsters can leave the dungeons ." explained Emilia .
"Emilia is right , monster can leave the dungeon in the wild but the city dungeons always make a safety contract . The people will ensure safety for the dungeon core and the dungeon core won't invade the city ." said Caro .
"Eat up , we will train in this small city for a while . After all Kevin is still under leveled and we can grind our jobs here . Besides i heard they have a plain dungeon almost out of the city . What suprised me though is the fact that the dugeon boss is classified as 8-party boss level 40 . I think we should set our first goal to kill this dungeon boss and then travel towards the capital ." suggested Adam while grabbing another bread .
Everyone agreed . After eating the delicious stew and freshly baked bread of Caro Kevin leaned lied on his bed made out of straw .
He imagined that straw beds would be more uncomfortable . After all he's used to soft feather beds . But the straw layer is quite big , and soft .
Slowly falling into sleep Kevin wondered why it wasn't suggested that traveler partys don't meet up . I mean this whole trusting point system is so unrealistic . Even if this appeared to be gamelike , what should come next ? Raising the love points of a flag ? Or marriage points ? Or hate points ?
He remembered that the reward people got for grouping was trust increased by 50 , doesn't that mean that these people will trust each other like the mighty 'I will die for ya' friendships ?
Maybe it was true , but Kevin didn't cared for that . He fought in the sewer the entire day , killed rats the size of cats and found out that raids and dungeon existed . His entire body felt sore to Kevin and his eyes felt glued .
Thus he slept in a city in another world for the first time .
The first sunrays caused Kevin to wake up , he doesn't know why , but people in this world woke up every single morning . Extremely early !
Yawning Kevin changed his clothes to other cloths which looked normal to the people in this world . A t-shirt made out of normal wool , long pants made out of wool and underpants made out of wool too .
Stepping out of his room Kevin walked towards the kitchen where Caro cooked breakfast . Soup made out of different spices and eggs with bread .
While eating Kevin asked Caro : "Where are the others ?"
"They are grinding their jobs or hunting ." replied Caro while making Lunch .
[ Effect : 10% more Experience for 2 Hours ]
Sudddenly a system message appeared in front of Kevin .
Smiling Caro answered : "That new job bonus , i can add different buffs on my meals i cook ."
"Nice ! So my duty is it to go to the sewer again ?" asked Kevin .
"Yes , practically it would be better if you join Mark or Adam and get carried . But Alchemists need some of those materials in the sewer for potions . Besides own battle experience is more worth than the level you get from just following them ." answered Caro while taking out some sandwiches and said : "Here , your lunch for today . Good luck ."

"Thanks !" Kevin stood up and walked towards the sewer .
On his way he tried to summon amy , without success . The only message he got was from the system :
[ Amy : Hibernation 10 days left ]
Sighing Kevin continued his way to the sewer . If amy didn't get a good boost in her states then the hibernation would be a waste of time ! He needed help since he is pretty much useless in the fights . Only amy could do a good amount of damage as well as take damage for Kevin .
But Kevin knew that he shouldn't be angry at amy , maybe she will run away and he will be alone ! Thus he cursed the system for not guiding him about pets !
Taking one of the friendly rats as his guide Kevin stepped into the sewer for the second time .
Equipping his spear and wooden shield Kevin started to hunt rats .
Stab , stab , stab . It is quite easy to kill the rats if one is used to . Almost like a maniac Kevin dashed around the maze like system of the sewer and hunted for rats . The friendly giant riant rushed around with Kevin . Naturally with ease , after all the speed of a human couldn't be compared with a rat running with normal speed .
Ignoring the system loot messages Kevin searched for more rats . He bought an inventory at the beginning . Even if he didn't know the maximum capacity it shouldn't be smaller than a huge warehouse .
Kevin continued to stab the giant rats while hoping for something stronger to appear . However he didn't got cocky , after all as a casual gamer he knew that being cocky could be the most fatal flaw in a fight . Understimating monster could lead one to gather more monster than one able to fight and thus the person will die .
One by one Kevin killed the rats . The friendly rat supported Kevin when there was more than one rat .
However Kevin only fought the rats one by one , he didn't dared to gather the aggro from many and use wider spear attack .
Since stabbing is effective , most rats died from one stab or stab and kick , Kevin gathered his exp slowly .
Unlike in games Kevin didn't fought like a maniac . He preserved his stamina for each stab . After all he isn't a virtual character with unlimited stamina .
Leaning on of the sewer walls Kevin strocked the soft fur of the giant rat .
Pondering if he should leave the sewer and finish his day Kevin looked at the system message . Because comparing the feelings and the facts are like comparing poop and diamonds .
(AN: Example : I run 100 meter wit full speed , thus i feel extremely exhausted but i only run a short distance . If i walk 4 kilometers with my normal walking speed i don't feel exhausted , only a little bit tired . )
[ Loot : ]
[ 137 x Giant Rat Tail ]
[30 150 exp ]
Guessing the amount of time he spent in the sewer Kevin calculated 20 minutes for the walk to the sewer , and each rat about 2 minutes .
'So i spent around 5 hours in the sewer .' assumed Kevin while saying to the rat : "Can you lead me the way to the outside ?"
Quiking the rat lead Kevin through the sewer .
Taking out the sandwiches made by Caro Kevina ate his Lunch .
Even though he is a former fatty , Kevin could see his belly fat melting under the constand fighting . Thus he could eat everything he wanted .
It wasn't visible though since the body created muscles to help Kevin survive these harsh body activities .
But Kevin could feel muscles lying under his fat layer and felt happy . Who wouldn't feel happy if one got some strong muscles to show off ? Hehe .
While dreaming of how to show off his future muscles , the sewer suddenly shook as if an earthquake appeared .
The shocked Kevin could only hurry the rat to lead him faster .
Dust dropped from the ceiling causing Kevin to cough .
"Cough , cough ! Godamn ! Why do i have to live through these dangers . Where is my fortunate encounter ?" cursed Kevin while following the rat with hurry .
Suddenly stones as large as human heads dropped down crashing left and right of Kevin .
Panting Kevin rushed towards the exit in hope of escaping this collapsing sewer .
As he spotted the exit he could only feel how something heavy landed on his head .
'Seems like i will die because of a stone .' sighed Kevin as he prepared to die .
But the only thing what happened was :
[Player got stunned for 5 minutes . Counter the stun with [Cure] or other debuff lifting things . Do you wish to fight against stun ? Exchanging 5 minutes of stun with 30 min of nausea and headache . {Yes} {No} ]
Choosing {Yes} as soon as he could Kevin looked at his surrounding , the entrance only 20 meter away . Without realizing why the passage of the sewer got broader .
Not only broader , the scope could be compared to a spacious plaza .
Now even a giant 3 time higher than Kevin could easily fit in this "sewer" tunnel .
But kevin didn't care for that , the headache hit him like a mallet hitting stone . Vomiting his former lunch Kevin quickly casted [Lesser Cure] on himself .
This time no shiny palm appeared , instead Kevin could feel as if he breathed cold and fresh air .
His entire body relaxed , just comfortable .
However soon the feeling dissipated and nausea and headache hit him harder than before .
Casting [Lesser Cure] on him for six more time stopped the headache , nausea disappeared on the third time .
Just in time , one would say if this is a story .
Something striked Kevin as his body flew a small distance .
Looking at the system message Kevin felt how sweat appeared on his body .
NO !
[ - 23 HP ]
Almost half of his HP in one hit , who is it ?
Taking the shield out from his inventory Kevin barely was able to block the incoming strike .
Standing up with his spear Kevin looked at his opponent .
[ Lesser Rat Warrior Lv 14 ]
[ HP 170/170 ]

The Ancient Tree's Journey
On a planet far away from Earth, an ancient tree lives inside a beautiful forest. When the tree realises that its life is coming to an end, it creates a seed without a soul. The seed begins a long journey, being passed from person to person, until it finally collides with the soul of a girl from Earth and sprouts. With her human knowledge, the girl tries to survive in this world... as a tree. Note: This is my first time writing a novel, so my writing style might be a little rough around the edges sometimes, especially the first twelve are still amateur style. I'll probably rewrite them at some point... later perhaps. Also, the MC will be introduced in chapter 13. The first twelve chapters are more of an introduction to the world, so they bear little significance to the main story. Still, I recommend reading it if you want to get a better view of the world. Chapter releases once every four days.

Zeroth Knight re: Dawn
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Updated twice a day. Evangeline Sayagawa makes the ultimate choice at the cost of the ultimate sacrifice: She decides to leave her world that she fought so hard to return to, and return to Arsea in hopes of saving everyone. Little was she aware of just how bad things had gotten. The world she was returning to was cast into chaos and on the precipice of being destroyed. She awakens in this new kind of Arsea, after having witness the end of a dear friend. The world now belonged to the monstrosities of old, the Beta, and their corrupted human warriors, the Eld. With her fake identity, that which defined her in this world, being stripped from her, she now has to navigate a darkness in which not even the women she loves recognize her. This is book 2 of the Evangeline Sayagawa "Zeroth Knight" story, with book 1 being found here. The first "chapter" posted here is a hyper-condensed version of volume/book 1, in case anyone needs a generalized refresher of events, or for those who wish to start with this book instead as it is faster paced and more action-packed than the first one. Suffice to say, but most of the details from book 1 are lost by doing this; however, enough of the more-important information is present to allow one to understand the general idea of what is going on. This book features a mostly lesbian cast and deals more so with fate and crises of identity more than anything else. However, there is much more action in this one than any of my other stories thus far and brings about the end of Evangeline Sayagawa's story arch... sort of. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: "Escape The KNIGHT" Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR Follow me on Twitter @Ozefen0 to stay up to date on my stories and what have you.
