04. First Mission Complete.

Evelyn watched as Elena left to have her bath, and then she shifted her gaze back to her son.

“I can’t wait to see you become a great elf in the future.”

“I’m certain you’ll become the greatest elf ever,” she said and her lips widened into a smile when she noticed that her finger, which had been held by Orion for quite some time now, was suddenly clenched in his grip while he was still asleep.

She kissed him on his forehead and continued to hum her lullaby before deciding to sleep as well.

About three hours later, Orion opened his eyes only to see a ceiling above him and he immediately released a sigh of relief after realizing that this was his mother’s room.

He was worried that everything he saw and experienced last night might have been a dream. ‘But, thank goodness it wasn’t a dream.’ He uttered in his thoughts.

He turned to his right to see his mother, sleeping by his side, however, it was just the two of them on the bed.

‘I thought I heard someone else's voice last night.’

‘I wonder who that female elf was.’

‘She sounded a bit annoyed last night,’ Orion wondered who the female elf could have been before turning to the screen now displayed in front of him.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a Tier One Mission titled:- Feeding Frenzy.]

[You have successfully acquired your first racial skill: Omnivision.]

[Omnivision:- This skill allows you to see across various scales and distances.]

‘Woah,’

‘This skill looks amazing.’

‘Let’s see what it can do.’

Orion calmed his mind as he stared intently at the ceiling. Slowly, he was able to see beyond the ceiling and he could now see the stars in the night sky. “Huh? Is it still dark outside?’

‘I guess this explains why Mother is still asleep.’

‘Anyway, this skill is truly amazing.”

‘I wonder how far I can see from here.’

He tried to call out to her but what came out of his lips was a very loud cry, and in less than a second, a gale of wind burst into the castle from five hundred meters away, dashing straight into the queen’s bedroom.

Swiftly recognizing who was heading towards the room through his enhanced vision, Orion swiftly spun himself onto his hands and feet so he could crawl towards his mother.

But Evelyn had arrived and was now kneeling at the edge of the bed, with her arms spread wide apart while urging Orion to come closer to her on his own.

“I’m so sorry baby, mama is here.”

"Please, don't be offended,"

"Mama didn't mean to leave you behind all alone in the castle,"

Hearing her voice again, Orion felt a sense of calm washing over him and more tears streamed down his cheeks.

“Sniff-sniff-sniff,” After a few minutes, Orion calmed down a bit and he crawled as fast as he could to his mother.

He wasn’t even bothered by the fact that he wasn’t even a day old yet and he could already crawl on his own.

Instead, the only thing he had on his mind right now was to be held tightly in his mother’s embrace as his hands and knees moved faster toward her.

“Yes, baby, that’s it.”

“Come to Mama,” Evelyn urged her little baby to come closer to her.

Seeing how her son desperately tried to crawl really fast to her, caused Evelyn to instinctively smile at the way her cute little baby looked even cuter than ever before.

She hugged him gently and brought his face closer to hers. “I’m so sorry Orion, I shouldn’t have left the castle without telling you first, mama is so sorry. Mama promises to stay with you from now on for as long as you want,” she said, smiling to Orion while rubbing her nose against his, and Orion giggled as well.

Evelyn pulled him back to take a look at his face again, but Orion stretched his arm towards his mother, trying to hug her once again with a smile on his face while he giggled again.

Tears welled up in Evelyn’s eyes seeing how her son desperately wanted to hug her, so she gently hugged him in return while vowing never to make him cry again.

As a mother, Evelyn couldn’t be more proud of her son with what she noticed him do this morning.

Even though she ran over five hundred meters to the castle in less than a second, she noticed how Orion was able to sense her presence the moment she stepped into the palace.

With the help of her Omnivision skill as well, Evelyn also noticed how Orion swiftly turned around on the bed to crawl towards her in less than a second.

In fact, the speed with which Orion used to move was actually faster than that of Evelyn's.

‘Fufufu..... It seems my baby might actually be a genius.’
