📖 Scar of Fortune
Chapter 8 — Sister's Burden
Morning light filtered into the kitchen.
Veer was preparing breakfast for his mother and Asha, but his mind was elsewhere—focused only on Asha's upcoming wedding and the ever-mounting household expenses.
Aria blinked onto his screen.
"Master Veer, a new option is available for your next quest. You can gain resources for your family."
Veer paused, thinking.
"Aria… I've earned my first point and skill. Now my priority is securing my family financially."
He looked at his mother, the fatigue evident in her eyes. Then he glanced at Asha, anxious about her wedding.
"I'll do it," he said softly. "And this system… it will be my greatest weapon."
Aria smiled, blinking once.
"Master, all quest rewards will be transferred directly to your bank. But remember—hidden conditions may exist. Your points and skills will depend on your effort."
Veer tucked his phone into his pocket and spoke to Asha.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll manage everything. You just focus on your studies and happiness."
Asha gave a small, hesitant smile.
"Veer… you're always my support. But I don't want you carrying so much burden alone."
Veer placed a hand gently on her shoulder.
"A brother always takes responsibility, sister. And this time… the system is on my side."
That night, Veer sat in his room, fingers tracing the scar on his back. A new determination ignited inside him.
Every quest completed, every point earned… I will secure my sister's future and bring peace to Maa.
Aria blinked once more on the screen, voice calm but full of promise.
"Master Veer… this is only the beginning. Your true journey starts now."
