Danmachi: Dragon Heart System

Chapter 5 - Gramps's (Fake) Death

Silver has been working a whole year, cutting lumber and planting them back. Sometimes, he gets to build, rebuild or renovate, houses in their village.

He still taking care of the farm sometimes when his Grandpa was taking a rest. He also taught Bell a martial arts that doesn't rely much on speed, it is more like a practice that increases someone's reaction speed. This martial art was created by Silver himself.

A martial art that he created on his own, though it can't be called a martial arts, it's still useful along with other martial arts and in battle. It can help a lot. Still, it was only at its first stage and the increase in reaction speed wasn't that much.

Two years later, he was now 15 years old, he started to do some heavy work as he was extraordinarily strong for such a young age. He also started to hunt down animals, and if possible, some monsters lurking around the village.

He was working hard all these years, working hard while still having a good time with his family. He also learned how to cook from some of the villagers

and attended some festival contests which he won sometimes as he doesn't want really to win all the time.

Little did he know that he will be forced to work more to the fullest.

"Silver, Bell. I'll be going somewhere. So, make sure the crops are watered. Do you two remember what I told you, harvest them only when?" asked Grandpa.

Both Silver and Bell said, "Harvest them only when they are in their ripe color."

"Good!" Zeus gave them applause, "I'll be going then."

"Bye, Grandpa!" said Bell

"Bye, Gramps!" said Silver

Silver and Bell started taking care of the farm, Silver goes out as usual for work and earns more money.

This made Silver's life harder as he needs to come back home and check up on Bell and the farm.

"Brother, when will Grandpa come home?" asked Bell as he was getting worried.

"I don't know. I think he's gone to another village, that's why he was late right now." Silver said this just to make Bell feel better.

"Let's just have to wait for a few more hours."

After a few more hours, it is going to get dark soon as the sun sets slowly from the west showing a beautiful orange hue in the sky.

It was now dark after an hour and a half, this made Bell more worried about his grandfather.

"Brother, Grandpa will come back home, right?"

"Yeah, Gramps will surely come home. It is already dark now, Gramps will probably come back tomorrow. Alright, let's sleep." Silver patted Bell's head.

They entered their room. Inside the room, two beds away from each other, indicating they have their own small territory. Even though they can go to each other's territory, once an item or something fell on the other territory, it will become the other's possessions.

Anyway, the two expect him to come home tomorrow.

The next day, they woke up. Bell took a bath first while Silver was making their breakfast.

Another day to work again, Silver took a bath after eating, prepared his clothes and bought heavier weights for his body, arms, and legs.

After all these years, his strength is comparable to a Third-class adventurer.

"Status."

S͟t͟a͟t͟u͟s͟

Level 4 - 5/1,000

• S̲t̲r̲e̲n̲g̲t̲h̲: E480

• D̲e̲x̲t̲e̲r̲i̲t̲y̲: E460

• A̲g̲i̲l̲i̲t̲y̲: E420

• M̲a̲g̲i̲c̲: I15

Silver's endurance increased a lot since he was wearing weights in his upper body that can increase his endurance plus he's jogging even though he was wearing weights every single day.

Magic, on the other hand, was not increased as he doesn't have magic. However, he forgot something important, he has a system that enables him to learn magic in an instant.

"Oh, I forgot that I have a system." he facepalms himself, "Why am I so stupid?"

<Magic>

"There are other types of magic other than the elemental ones?"

[ Yes. ]

He opened the last category, showing him only two other magic.

<Other Magic(s)>

• Arcane - 5 million LP

• Mystic Magic - 5 Million LP

Well, of course, he couldn't buy them.

He opened the other category, cl.i.c.k.i.n.g fire element, scrolling and looking at their prices.

<Fire Element>

• Fireball - 5,000 LP

• Fire Javelin - 15,000 LP

• Flaming Fists - 25,000 LP

• Blazing Aura - 30,000 LP

• Fire Cloak - 50,000 LP

...

...

• Dragon Flames - 1 Million LP

[ LP: 106,978 ]

He bought none other than Flaming Fists, Fire Javelin and Blazing Aura. With these three in his arsenal, he can win mostly unless he was countered using water as the fire was weak against water but fire is strong against the wind. This cost him 70,000 LP which hurts him from almost using up all his Lucky Points since it relies on his luck.

[ LP: 37,378 ]

After buying from the system, a loud knocking of a person came and calling both Silver and Bell.

Silver opened the door and Bell gets out of the room to see who was knocking.

"Silver, Bell, I have bad news." this guy was none other than Jack.

Silver and Bell only looked at him while Silver asked, "What is it, sir Jack?"

"Your grandfather... " he was hesitant to say it but he had to say it, "Your grandfather is dead."

Bell started to cry silently, Silver frowned and screamed in his head, "Does he want to overwork me for a whole year with his fake death?!"
