Cherreads

Chapter 23 - [30 Tasks for the day!]

Continuing that, time passed swiftly and now… It's been 8 days exactly since Noah came into this world and took over Elios' body.

[Morning Noah](Elios)

Waking up to Elios' message as usual, Noah returned the greeting in his mind. A slight arm stretch before he removed the blanket and got off the bed. And then picking up another set of acolyte clothes he used [Cleanse] on it, turning it a brand new.

[Active Mana Regeneration!]

And then Elios recharged the used mana within the next few seconds.

One of the cheat facts of having two minds in one body was that Elios can use skills to recharge Noah's mana even while Noah doesn't have to concentrate. In fact, Elios always tried to maintain Noah's Mana at peak even if Noah didn't ask for. Keeping the mana full was something Elios liked to have.

[I have created a bunch of things that would be helpful in case of emergencies. Though I still haven't decided on which skill to work next.](Elios)

Since Elios couldn't sleep, he spends his time creating and experimenting things that they have learnt during the day. Whether it was skills, items of even basic things, he tried to study everything he could. It was a way for him to past the time until he chooses a skill to work on and improve.

"Why not try the Self-Heal skill? Both Self-Curse and Self-Heal have a lot of application that we can utilize beyond the scope of the skill."(Noah)

And Noah as usual guided him in case he was troubled with menial things.

[Oh! The weakest skill turns to the strongest, huh? I like the sound of it. O.O](Elios]

Looking at those emoticons, Noah smiled before he changed the dress and then walked out of the room. Just as usual, he moved towards Yuna, wondering if he can take 30 tasks today.

"Oooh! It's the Snow Priest!"(Yuna)

Yuna spoke in a teasing tone, making Noah a bit embarrassed before he raised three fingers. And even though Yuna was a bit surprised by the amount, she simply smiled and nodded before passing a bundle of quests to him with a silver bracelet with it.

"What is this?"(Noah)

"A gift."(Yuna)

"?"(Noah)

"Just because you do charity work, doesn't mean you shouldn't be rewarded."(Yuna)

Noah silently looked at Yuna before observing the bracelet.

[Item: Strage Bracelet(E)

Effects: Allows you to store items in a storage box of 3 x 3 meters!]

"If you need anything else, just ask me. I will put in a request and make sure that you get it."(Yuna)

Yuna winked at Noah, while Noah nodded before wearing that bracelet and thanking Yuna for it. Though Yuna just smiled as she corrected him,

"Don't mention it. It was just something I got from the temple after repetitive requests. A bit tiresome, but it was worth it. Just make sure not to overwork, okay?"(Yuna)

Listening to her words, Noah smiled before placing the bundle of requests into the bracelet before walking out of the room as Yuna got busy with her work again. 

As Noah walked through the corridors, many looked at him with slight interest. Though the previous look of scorn wasn't there, but instead there was slight interest and curiosity in their eyes. But still, they didn't bother much and continued their own work leaving him alone.

Walking out of the temple, he saw the location of the requests was far in the north-east of the city today. And since it was a bit far, he got on a bus-like artifact which took him to the location within the next 30 minutes.

Noah observed the city, still amazed at the magic world around him. Even though he has already seen it a dozen times, it was still hard to get used to it. It was straight out of a harry potter movie, except that the atmosphere was lighter and brighter.

But knowing the darkness hiding within the city also gave him a mixed feeling about the city. An odd dilemma to which he couldn't reach a conclusion. At least not yet.

"Robanga Market"

The bus driver spoke, marking the station on which Noah had to get off the bus. And then paying 5 copper coins, he got off from there before reaching the nearest house that needed help.

"GET OUT OF HERE YOU THIEF!!!" 

But before he could even take a step he saw a boy of similar age being thrown out of the eatery as the restaurant owner shouted at him. The surrounding people looked at him, his average clothes, and continued walking without any pause.

"I told you that all my money had been stolen. I will surely pay you back after I get it! I can even work for you for free if you want to!" The youth, a brown haired guy, answered with a determined expression, but the restaurant owner only got more annoyed, almost throwing the knife in his hand.

Noah sighed before he moved towards the owner, gathering his attention towards him. Although sceptical, the owner simply watched Noah wondering what a priest wants. Was he going to blabber about forgiving and stuff? 

But contrary to that, Noah simple took out a silver coin and placed in the shopkeeper's hand making him widen his eyes before Noah simply ignored him and then moved towards that brown haired guy.

[A Good deed! Earned +20 Karma!]

"You okay, kid? You shouldn't steal or freeload. It's not good manners."(Noah)

[Advice to the young! Earned +5 Karma!]

"Huh? You didn't have to… well.. Thank you." 

He seemed to be embarrassed a bit before he politely thanked and then looked at Noah for a few seconds and then asked,

"Ummm…. Is there anything I can do for you? It could be anything. I just want to repay the favour."

"Why should I ask the help of a stranger of whom I don't even know the name of."(Noah)

Noah simply spoke as he smiled before moving away without minding much. Seemed like a good kid who got in trouble for one reason or another.

"It's Zero. My name is Zero."(Zero)

'Odd name.'(Noah)

Noah turned his head with a smile on his face before he waved and then moved away from there, towards the house which needed his help for the day.
