Chapter 13: Author and the Beast
"Morris im right here!!!" Esther yells in his direction that was trying his hardest to look for her after he came back from his mission
"Thanks for ordering me something I'm starving," He sat down while another individual would cling to his robe
"Hey kid can't you see this seat is already taken," She politely told the kid to go away, which made him realize that he hasn't introduced his newly gained ally
"No, he's with me I forgot to introduce the two of you Esther this is my companion," Morris said as pats the kid's back making his worries fly away
A few hours ago in the sealed space Christopher Morris found himself lashing out and acting like a child who had lost his favorite toy. The result of his battle was his victory, but he wasn't smiling nor was he cheerful, and his eyes were filled with disappointment. After his death was seen as an act of suicide, without any knowledge of how powerful the second tier truly was. He accidentally ended his life, leaving him with only 7 more drops before he was to fall into any kind of danger
[Get up I've caught the Deity that's responsible for this... hey!!! what's wrong didn't you win why aren't you celebrating]
"Celebrating? I died from my spell there wasn't even a single monster that survived not even a goblin to kill me! It's a pointless death I didn't get any stat points, plus the monsters were under my control, and I didn't get any experience aside from the ones controlled by that deity," He acted like a spoiled child that couldn't listen to anyone's orders until he heard of an interesting message. It's from the deity that gave him the mission to subdue the forces that would've broken the defense of the city. That happened to the original plot of his novel
[System: The one who sees catastrophe is honored to see a birth of a powerful avatar. The deity wishes to bestow her blessing upon you, she sees you as a player worthy of her blessing. Would you like to accept the offer]
'A blessing I got a blessing let's go!!! Wait a minute I need to consult my deity before I can receive such a thing,'
"You don't mind right?"
[You're insane, arrogant, and irresponsible! I'm not sure that having my blessing which I will eventually give you as you become worthy. It won't be enough to keep someone like you alive, take it I'm not some old-fashioned deity that's obsessed with keeping you to myself. It'll beneficial to acquire more perks and skills aside from me, your way of solving things isn't as ordinary as it can get]
"I'll accept, your generous offer great benefactor of my growth," Morris said as he vow to respect the Deity

"Well that solves our problem with my identity being leaked should we leave? Even if my body is currently unaffected by hunger or fatigue after all that I've done I want to sit back and relax on a sofa," Before he could take a single step from the coliseum, he heard a twitching sound near his location
[What the hell is this!! I thought the mission said it was completed. Be careful, it might be something that's out of your power to deal with. You wouldn't want to have a scuffle as of now, you don't want another taste of death? Even though you've already experienced it twice]
'Don't tell me it's another deity? I've barely survived the last one, if only his host was a lot stronger then I wouldn't be standing right now let's walk closer Morris no need to rush,'
He walks slowly, approaching the location where he heard the sound looking if there's a sinister aura that's afflicting the area. Only to see the beast, its body reverting to its previous form slowly revealing its true shape as a boy. With animal ears and a tail, from its appearance, he guessed that the beast was the age 10 or below
"A Beast person? It's an offspring between a beast and a human being this is a rare find," He checked the little beast's stats. With his appraisal after he was curious about its identity

[It's just that Beast person, leave it we can't do anything to help this person]
[System: The monk that dispell evil tears up, The bringer of salvation prays for the beast to have a better life in its next life, The one who seeks true justice averted his eyes from the victim of an evil deity, The huntress of the night hums a melody for the fallen player]
Not even the Deities wish to save this boy they only pity and prayed for his suffering to go away while the sage urges Morris, to leave the scene as his mission was completed he didn't hesitate to use the last drop of the elixir on the dying boy saving him from death and bringing him back to the living the Deities were shocked by Morris thinking that his actions were like a saint that he even cares for someone that once tried to kill him
[System: You've used the last drop of the first elixir, the player Kyo min soo, that died from player Morris's attack will gain 10 stat points]

The deity donated 50 tokens, The one who seeks true justice respects your decision. The deity donated 50 tokens, and the huntress of the night sees your unwavering sense of humility. the deity donated 50 tokens]
All of the deities were stuck on their delusion that Morris was a righteous player, a Saint, and even kind-hearted not knowing the real reason for his action
'It's Kyo min soo the wandering loner this guy wasn't introduced in the story but as he travels far and wide stories of his greatness were known I wrote that he isn't an avatar yet he's strong as an avatar. a player that was tricked by a deity and the aftermath awakened his power while he didn't get over his past errors,'
'The price of his growth made him despise the deities, whether they had good intentions. I guess in my novel he was weighed down by the guilt of killing thousands of people just to get stronger. While I stopped that from happening, the ancestral awakening, is still here I've struck a diamond hidden in a coal mine at a small price to pay to give him the elixir and I even get 200 tokens from those deities im rich,'
Morris crouched down, he uses his lap to be Kyo min soo's pillow waiting for him to wake up while caressing the boy's head as little min soo woke up being pampered by Morris. He immediately got up and leaned in to beg for mercy crying and even bashing his head to the ground. He remembers all the horrible things he did when his body was possessed by the alchemist. He was expecting to be beaten up by Morris but he only gained a hug along with his calming words
"It's ok you weren't at fault you're just a victim I won't hurt you. Still leaving you alone will be problematic would you accompany me on my journey? I'll raise you as my own, I'll try to be like a guardian that'll guide you as a parent should," Morris said as he pats his head, he continued to do so until he hears Kyo min soo crying out loud and clear
'I'll win him over with affection treat him like he's important train him and when he's ready I'll use him as much as I want,'
"W-Wo-Would you take care of me?" Kyo min soo stuttered whilst he shed tears after he felt another person that cared for his condition
"I will little one im not sure if I'll be a good role model but I'll try my best," Morris said as the colosseum seal disappeared and they left the place while the Deities authority fixed it back in time
"Where are we going boss," Kyo min soo said as he holds Morris's hand
*Stomach growling*
"How about we grab something to eat," Morris said as they walk to the restaurant
Back to the present
"Nice to meet you im Kyo min soo," He said as he greeted her whilst he lets lose of his formalities and reveals his childish behavior
'I'm not dying just because I was fated to, no matter what kind of things I'll do, I'll use it to my heart's content. Be it people or skills, I'll use them as I desire, a world where even a loser like me can gain what he desires. I'm not gonna let this life end, no offense, but I'll use you as I want, Kyo min soo. After you've fully grown, I'll use you to my heart's content, mwhehehehehehe,'
