Chapter 93: 87. Evolution quest: Past trauma

A young man who wore a black coat with golden outlines on it stood atop a building and gazed down at the individuals below.

'It's been five days since the second phase of the tiran impact started. Nothing out of the ordinary have happened.'

'There have still been no signs of seventh class creatures. The place where they are most likely to be is in the ocean, as a lot of those asteroids entered there.' Dexter thought as he looked at the three people below that fought off a creature.

'Tracy seem to be okay with killing the monsters now. Lily already reached level 17 and Hannah got a very high grade item.' Dexter thought as he looked at the staff in Hannah's hand which had a purple gem on top.

She pointed it towards the lizard monster before wind began to twirl around the lizard, carrying it up and throwing it away in another direction with a hurricane.

"I'll finish it off." Tracy jumped up high with the dagger in her hand and she stabbed the lizard in its head, killing it.

"Phew. That's another level 13." Tracy said as she checked her rewards.

Lily ran past them with her claws glowing green and her eyes were now glowing green too. She pulled a snake hiding behind a rock and she fought it, scratching it in various places before killing it.

"Level 18. Just two levels more." Lily said and she walked to the girls.

Considering how she was five days ago, she has grown tall in a short span and she is even more mature than before.

"Hey, Dexter!!" Tracy waved towards him from below and he looked down from the building before jumping down.

Dexter landed on his feet and a loud bang resounded as he landed, sending dust spreading all over the place.

Dexter walked towards them.

"What are your levels?" Dexter asked.

"Level 14." Hannah said.

"Level 13." Tracy said while folding her arms. She was probably jealous that she had a lower level.

"Level 18." Liky said with a grin and Tracy got annoyed but just scoffed at the little girl's behavior.

"Let's head back to camp." Dexter said and then they walked back.

...

"How are you feeling?" Dexter asked Hannah.

"I'm not fine. I was almost hit by that lizard." She pouted.

"Yeah, but you handled it." Dexter smirked but she just snorted and looked another way.

"Carry me." Hannah said before hopping on his back.

Dexter only sighed as he carried her back to the camp. By the side Tracy was looking at them weirdly but Lily just looked at her.

"Mind your business." Lily said and began to look around and Tracy stared at this girl in shock.

She keeps getting more and more cocky as days pass.

...

They reached the camp and Dexter let Hannah down and they all stretched.

"I see you all made it back in one piece." Marco said as he walked from the gate towards them.

Dexter located the new quests section and he tapped on it.

[Seventh class evolution quest.]

[Chosen path: Ruler of light and darkness]

[Quest: Strength in mind]

[Description: As a ruler, you cannot afford to have any easy weaknesses. You cannot rule over light when there's still darkness in your heart. The balance is inner light, and dark aura which is outside and inside.

Objective: Enter your subconsciousness and train to no longer feel the effects of trauma or just forget about it.]

[Reward: ???]

[Begin simulation?]

[Yes] | [No]

Dexter sighed after reading the description of the quest.

'Trauma.' He whispered in his mind as a scene of him pointing a gun at another person flashed in his head.

'I can't do it right now.' He dismissed the screen as he ruffled his hair a bit.

The bathroom door opened and Hannah came out in only a white towel which was also short and she went to a mirror to fix her hair.

Dexter smiled as he walked towards her from behind and hugged her.

"Something wrong?" She asked him as she fixed her curly hair but Dexter just opened his mouth to say something... but alas, he couldn't.

Hannah sighed as she turned around and held his face to look into his eyes.

"You need to let go of the past already. It wasn't your fault, that bitch caused it." Hannah said to him and he nodded slowly.

...

Dexter was currently laying on the bed and he looked up to the ceiling while still thinking.

'Forget about the past.' He thought again.

He looked beside him to see Hannah sleeping and he stood up and walked out of the room to get some air.
