PoV: Aurea
"Yaaawn… morning, Yaci."
The night in the Barrens is so comfortable, with the silence only broken by the wind and the occasional monster passing by.
I mean, for most people it would be anything BUT comfortable, exactly because of said monsters.
But the two of us are powerful enough, plus I took a new skill, Aura. It basically signals all monsters in a certain radius how strong I am.
Which means, in my case, that they get too terrified to approach us. We could even light a campfire, and none would come. Though we still opted to not do that, because of nostalgia.
I feel a bit guilty about still using the System. But boycotting it won't make a dent at this point. We need to destroy it at its roots. And while we don't do it, we shall grab every advantage we're presented with.
As we know, our enemies won't shy away from doing the same.
"Morning, sleepyhead. Breakfast's waiting for you."
Yet, despite saying that, she comes and lies down at my side.
