Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

Not even a second later, there was another round of surprises. "The status window shows your bodily attributes. There should also be a spot that says status points. What is the number next to that?"

"Nothing…. As soon as I opened my status window, my level dropped to 6…." Alice whined. This also surprised Vance. He looked at his team window, and sure enough, Alice's level dropped to 5. It was not just her, Sally dropped to level 8. They both lost ten levels! Vance pondered for a moment and wondered if this was because they were now using the system or some kind of function of the system. "Don't worry we will get it back up." Vance knew this much for sure. They will definitely level faster this way since he could power level them. Luckily they were still in leveling range. However, he did not know if level restrictions still accounted for anything or not.

"You also have a skill window as well. Once you open it, you can select a skill and see what that skill is all about. Skill points are not easy to come by, so choose your skills wisely. Also, status points are also not to be used randomly. Think of your current abilities and work from there. Later tonight, I will go over each of these in more detail as this is not the place. For now, just say inventory in your minds."

Both girls did as they were told, and an inventory screen appeared before them. "Sally, take the heal potion I just gave you and stick it into the inventory."

Sally was confused. She wrinkled her nose and took the potion she had tucked away between her breasts, and pushed it into the inventory. To her surprise, the air in front of her seemed to turn into a liquid, and the potion was sucked into the inventory and appeared in one of the slots. "With this, you can store items. Alice, you can do the same as well. When we get a new hotel room, I will give you your clothes to store inside of it."

"Okay!" Alice was all kinds of excited. Something new and out of this world was really interesting to her. She kept opening and closing all her menus. Reading her stats over and over and giggling to herself.

Vance just sat at the side and smiled. "If you have any questions when it comes to status points and skills, just ask me. I will give you my opinions, and then you can decide from there."

"This system thing… What is it?" Unlike Alice, who took things as they came when it dealt with Vance, Sally had many questions.

"I will explain more later. For now, we should get you packed if you are going to follow us. You will need everyday clothes, your armor, and weapons. Bring with you what you need. Remember, once we finish in the capital, we may not return for a long time. Although we might be here for a good while yet." Vance wanted to make sure this was clear. Since they would probably not be stopping by here any time soon, it would be best for Sally to prepare now.

"Then I will go get my things." Sally got up and bowed her head. She went to walk away but stopped and looked at Vance. "Don't worry. I will not mention this to anyone."

"Thanks." Vance nodded. He did not mind if she did. After all, others can not see the system screen.

Once Sally left, Vance felt a set of warm lips on his cheek. He turned to see Alice smiling at him as she reached over and took his hand. "Thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?" Vance was confused. He did not think he did anything special just now.

"Thank you for the system thing and for allowing Sally to tag along. She has been with me since I was young and is like my sister. We grew up together and have confided in each other since then. You can trust her no matter what. Since I trust you, she will also trust you. She will never betray us." Alice said as she slipped her hands around Vance's waist and leaned against him.

Vance reached up and rubbed the top of her head. "Don't worry, I know. This is why I gave her a system as well. If she is to follow us, then she will also need to grow stronger. The three of us will be a team that will reach the top."

"Mmm…."

After leaving Alice's uncle's estate, Vance and the girls headed to a nearby inn within the area of the estate. This would be a safer place, and the streets were patrolled more than the other inn. "Can I help ya?" A man with a big round belly and an apron on asked.

"Yeah, can I get two r…"

"We will take a double." Sally interrupted. Vance turned and looked at Sally and then at Alice.

Alice pursed her lips, "Sally, I think we should get a…."

"Pr-Alice, we will save more on a double, so let's get a double." Sally firmly stated. She didn't seem like she was going to give up on this, no matter what.

Vance felt like his quiet nights with Alice were going to be ruined by a third wheel. But to their surprise, the big round belly man spoke up. "Sorry, we only got one room here at this time. It's a single, but the bed is big enough for three." The big round bellied man was winking away at Vance. Vance quickly understood what was happening. But this was even worse!

"Let's just look for another inn…." Vance had planned to stay here for safety reasons, but he figured his life would be in trouble if he did!

"Ah! I think not. The inns are all filling up with the influx of people showing up. It will be hard to find a room at this time." When Vance heard these words, he really wanted to curse players! How could he forget about the rested experience one got when they logged out in an inn room? While he was not getting it, players could! At the start of the game, the inns all gave free rooms for the first week to let people get ahead. It was the No Fee Inn Event. It may sound like a stupid event, but to newbies, the little bit of rested experience was amazing!

Vance could only take the room he was offered. Although he did see two keys on the board in the back, so he had a feeling there was still a double available, but the damn fat man was trying to be a nice guy and set him up! But in truth, he might be sending him to his death!
