Master Of None-Chapter 31 - 31. Waking Up

After four hours walker's consciousness finally returned and he opened his eyes finding himself in a cot under a white tent. A cool evening breeze was felt coming from the openings and a bit of snoring from his left. Looking over he noticed Remey asleep in a chair next to Gil who was also on a cot with some minor scratches on his face.

Su was laying on the ground next to midnight with her head on Midnight's back. From the looks of it, she had cried herself asleep while caring for midnight. This brought a smile to Walkers' face knowing they were all safe and alive.

As he began to move slightly he realized his entire body was incredibly sore. Multiple bandages covered scratches and cuts. His left arm was wrapped heavily and upon looking down he saw the remnants of his father's leather shield. He winced at this sight knowing it saved his life but felt bad for losing it.

Knowing his body needed rest he didn't try to move, instead, he took a look at the system and was at a loss for words.

Title Hero-

Multiplies all exp for titles user. A hero's growth is the inspiration for all.'

Walker could not believe what had happened, he knew they had risked their lives but it was only what was expected that every adventurer should act the same. But a hidden quest? When's the last time the kingdom had heard of one happening? Wasn't it twenty years ago when a forge master had crafted himself a new hand using over a hundred ultra rare monster materials spending years in a desire to return to his peak. This kind of quest was unheard of. Let alone a title!? Those were only ever rewarded after amazing feats. The king's title was passed down generation to generation, it was said that a monster slayer title was given to an old hunter who single handedly took out a coven of vampires numbering over ten thousand, and even rumors of the elf that gained the speedster title by reaching an agility higher than any other in the world.

These things were enough to completely stun anyone no matter how strong their soul. Taking the advantage of time, Walker began checking the party statuses knowing he needed all the information so he could properly explain everything. Their lives were about to get much more chaotic now that they had a title. It was not something they could hide. From now on their quests would be affected and even those around them would receive quests related to their titles.

New skills-

black fireball

An incredibly powerful dark flaming ball consumes all mana and causes the target to burn in to ashes upon contact.

This skill black fireball must have been what Midnight's used. Maybe she needed to eat the darkness crystal to help her gain it. Walker had been stumped as to why Midnight had eaten that crystal for sure but the theory that she needed it to strengthen her inner flames seemed sound.

We definitely need to get Gil a better bow and maybe some arrows that he can infuse with magic. Walker kept thinking more and more about how they could improve so they wouldn't get hurt again. Soon he noticed Gil Laying in bed pointing at Walker so Remey would notice Walker's ramblings. Walker's face flushed a deep red, realizing he had most likely woken them and looked a bit of a fool.

"Sooo umm nice job on that giant locust..." Walker said to Gil after a moment.

"Pfft No way you'd be hogging all that glory" Gil's instant retort was enough to raise midnight and Su back to the land of the awake.

Midnight stood shakily, the effects of using all her mana were clearly stronger than that of a humans. It was an important fact Walker would have to remember. "Midnight don't worry about getting up. I know you used a lot of energy. But you can never do that again! Why would have happened if no one else was there?" Walker was happy midnight was awake but seeing her in this state made him sad so he knew he needed to reprimand her so she would be safe later. In response to this, Midnight took a few steps closer and laid back down without enough energy to fight or retort. Su had made it back in to her feet and pulled up a chair with a serious face.

"You two rushed in to battle to hold them back and you being the leader I trusted that you three would be OK. But it was reckless; the recommended course of action was to run on sight of the jade locusts! Not that I would have left those other three to die..." her energy from the first two sentences fails as she admitted she would have readily done the same all over again.

"Exactly! We may have done the same thing but you three should have retreated sooner. Hmpf I don't know what's wrong with men and trying to be tough it's pretty lame." Remey was obviously more happy than angry at the three as she showed her heart on her sleeve.

Gil had drawn a confused and surprised face "so leader...are going to explain this?"

"Ahm uh yea so some stuff happened and we have a title..."
