(Benjamin) (*Sobbing uncontrollably*)
(Flashback)
(Benjamin with 17yd) Wait did you guys hear that?
(Party) Hear what?
(Benjamin) This agonizing sound... Is someone crying?
(Benjamin) My hero radar tells me that there is a lady in distress!
(Benjamin) Follow me!
(Party member 1) What? We didn't hear anything are you sure you ain't going crazy?
(Distant scream) HELP!!!!!
(Benjamin with a smug smile) Told ya!
(Party) You're weird.
(Party) We are here.
(Party member 2) Now what oh great hero?
(Benjamin with his ears up like a dog) This direction!
(Party member 3) Why do we have to hear this guy again?
(Party member 1,2,4) Because he is the strongest
(Benjamin hearing their talk) And most handsome! (*Puffs out chest*)
(Woman) Help!! My kid is trapped under...
(*Slash*)
(*Splash*) (*Splash*) (*Splash*)
(Benjamin signaling with his hand) Halt!
(Benjamin signaling with his hand) Look over there!
(Benjamin whispering) It's an orc, we have to take it down!
(Party member 1 whispering) What? Are you crazy? That guy is a B rank monster we are barely able to defeat D rank monsters as we are now
(Benjamin whispering) You heard the lady before she died, we have to save the kid, and more I have a plan!
(Benjamin whispering) 2 & 4 (Ranger and long range mage) go there and there and draw his attention, if I can get a clean hit then he is good as dead!
(Party member 1 & 3 whispering) Wait, what about me?
(Benjamin whispering) 1 you buff me (cleric)
(Benjamin whispering) 2 (dark magic user) you slow him and if he starts to regenerate after my strike, finish him off
...
(Benjamin signaling) 3, 2, 1, Go!
A intense battle broke out but before his team mates could do the second attack to distract the monster
One could just see a bright light cutting the orc clean down the middle
Followed by an exasperated announcement...
(Benjamin) Damn 2000 mana is brutal to deal with one of those
(System popup to Benjamin) I told you that 500 would be enough but noooo you couldn't take any risks
(Benjamin) I know, I know just give me a break I also never get to use that much power
(System popup) You do realize that this was almost a year worth of mana that you just used for show
(Benjamin) ...
(Benjamin) Damn good use of mana. Hahahahaha
(Benjamin) Anyway can I see my status window?

...
(Benjamin & party) Are you okay?
(Party member 1) Let me heal you!
(Party member 1)
(Benjamin) Come on let's take her somewhere else!
After that the girl stayed asleep for 2 days until she woke up
After we informed her of her mother passing and showing her the place that we found her and the grave that we made for the woman
As expected the girl broke down crying.
We listened to her story and seeing that she had no where else to go nor family alive we took her in and after that
After countless battles and hardships the group slowly disbanded until me and her where the only ones left
The day that she confessed to me I knew that she was going to be the girl of my life
I actually already liked her because of her looks but the situation where we met each other didn't leave me enough room to attempt anything
So it came as a surprise when she told me her feelings...
A good and happy surprise!
(*End of flashback*)
(Benjamin crying and screaming) SARAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
He screamed as he held the lifeless body of the one he held so dear to him even more than himself
As his next words came out of his mouth I froze in place for the sheer mana emanating from him
As his eyes had a resemblance of someone dabbling into insanity barely holding his mind in place
He gazed into nothingness or something that I couldn't see at the time until...
(Benjamin) System... It was a good run... Take care of my son after I'm gone...
(System popup) [Benjamin] [Mana Dilution LVL.10] as the level of magic capable of exerting is not on par with the user feelings the system will forcefully upgrade the skill in exchange for the user lifetime [Mana Dilution LVL.10 > Mana Dilution LVL.100^]
