Chp 5 : 10 strikes and your out!

In contrast from Elena who was gently cradling Siun in her skinny arms, Her husband Silas, had obsidian black hair. Silas had quite a muscular build and was considerably taller than the petite Elena. He was patting Siun's head without considering that his strength could potentially harm their newborn baby.

"Aish... Silas, stop doing that! your going to hurt or little baby!"

"Ouch! stop pinching me!" The husband grunted.

Siun started nodding off as the new pair of mother and father continued their playful and loving banter in their run down and shabby hut. Even thought they were dirt poor they were still very happy in their current situation, Siun should really learn to take a page out of their book.

5 months later

As Siun opened his eyes he was again met with another wave of headaches and dizziness. It seems like whenever Siun wakes up in this world he will experience this uncomfortable feeling.

[Siun : Urghh... how long have a I been asleep?]

[Tex : You have been asleep for about 17 hours]

[Siun : Wow neat! guess there are some perks being a baby, its so easy to go to sleep! but is there anything you can do about this headache every time I wake up? Its getting pretty annoying!]

[Tex : There is nothing we can do about that, just suck it up. I'm sure you'll get used to it if you just ignore it]

[Siun : You're as cold as ever...]

[Tex : Alright alright, are you done? I have given you 5 months to adjust to this world! Most hosts dont get this special treatment! We are usually supposed to give are hosts their quest a week after they are born!]

[Siun : Hey! how is it my fault? look at me, im just a chubby lump of skin and bones!]

Siun was stating a fact, right now Siun was just a feeble 5 months old baby! If you didn't know babies are... well... useless when they are first born!

Even though he was only 5 months old you could now see some of Siun's defining features. He had obsidian hair like his father, and black eyes like his mother. His all black feature gave him a certain charm, Siun really liked his new features because it was quite similar to his own features back in his old world. He also found it really cute that his obsidian black hair kinda matched Tex's fur. Now you might think that "Hey he can't be matching with Tex black hair is so common! If he's matching with Tex then almost everyone else is matching too! and that's not how matching works!"

Yes you are right, black hair is a too common trait. But Siun's black hair was darker than any black you have ever seen, It really did look perfectly like Tex's fur.

[Tex : Huhuhu I see you have taken a liking to your new hair? humuhumu... you should be grateful! since when hosts are reborn they usually share some kind of trait with their systems! you were so lucky to have this mighty one as your host! Kikiki!]

[Siun : ... isn't this just genetics from my parents?]

[Tex : SHUT UP YOU! IF IT WERENT FOR ME YOU COULDVE BEEN BORN WITH HORSESHIT COLORED HAIR!]

[Siun : ... I'm sorry please don't leave me... im really grateful to have your fur color as my hair color...]

[Tex : Hahaha... I'm also really happy that we are matching too...]

[Siun : What was that?]

[Tex : N-nothing! you're just hearing things!]

[Siun : Hahahaha alright]

Every time Siun had a conversation with Tex, Siun felt that having this little cat as a host wasn't too bad. He found out that Tex was actually... a cute tsundere? Siun found it very funny and amusing.

[Tex : Alright enough wasting time! I really need to give you this quest!]

Siun's thoughts quieted down to allow Tex to speak clearly.

[Tex : You're quest is to help the the Hero kill the Demon Lord, but I already told you that didn't I? Well while you were relaxing for five months straight, the higher ups have given me another task to give you]

[Siun : What?! That's not what was in the deal!]

[Tex : Have some shame... you have basically done nothing for five months...]

Siun felt really bad, because Tex said this with a really sad and lifeless tone. He must be tired putting up with Siun's behavior...

[Siun : ... Alright... what's the new task?]

As soon as Siun said that, Tex's face lit up in joy and quickly told Siun his new task.

[Tex : While you are still going to have to help the Hero kill the Demon Lord, you will also be given new side quests throughout you're time here. These side quests will help make the Hero's life a better experience filled with joy and happiness. Failure to do one of the side tasks will give you 1 strike. Once you have received 10 strikes well... I'm sure you know where you will be sent for eternity]

[Siun : Ahhhh! I can't with you systems! If I do something wrong its always jail this and eternity that! Just slap my wrists or something! Jail isn't always the answer!]
