Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

"Stop it! I will pay for it. No more arguments," Zevien said with a stubborn expression, "you might not know, but I am a hidden boss with lots of money."

"Yeah, right," Erica rolled her eyes.

As they bought a lot of food, Vernisia, Erica, and Dan wanted to pay for it entirely.

"Also, I will also pay for the dinner tonight," Zevien said stubbornly, "since I am going with the kids of the orphanage, then as their big brother, I must pay, humph."

Everyone didn't argue anymore and gave up after seeing Zevien's stubbornness.

They knew that Zevien was from the orphanage and he shouldn't have a source of income, so they were confused about how he got money to spend for this lunch and even dinner tonight.

But they didn't ask about it to him since it wouldn't look good.

After taking the food, they sat inside the SUV that Vernisia arranged.

The driver left after delivering the car, so Vernisia was driving while Zevien sat beside her. Dan and Erica were behind with the food.

"Oh yeah, Vernisia, what do your parents do?" Dan asked curiously.

'Nice question, I want to know too,' Zevien thought, 'to know if she has the same parents as before or not.'

"Both my parents are government employees, but I don't know specifically about their work," Vernisia answered.

'Hmm…her parents before the time-rewind were also government employees. Maybe they are rich now because there was no need for them to be worried about Vernisia's grave illness and spend their money on its research and cure,' Zevien thought, 'but then how will destiny transfer work on her?'

'That mystical being indeed said that my destiny will transfer to her, but…, it might not be exactly the same way as my so-called king's destiny,' shaking his head, Zevien cursed himself for overthinking again, 'there's no use speculating about it randomly. I will know when the time comes.'

'The only thing I have to focus on is making myself stronger and staying together with Vernisia forever.'

…

They soon arrived at the orphanage after ten minutes.

After Zevien left the orphanage when he got admission to the academy, only nine kids were left in the orphanage. Their ages ranged from 3 years old to 11 years old.

"Come on, the kids are getting hungry," mother Helena said with a smile as she saw Zevien, Vernisia, Erica, and Dan coming with bags of food in their hands.

The kids waited in the small garden with a vine roof, tired and hungry after playing around.

When Zevien and others entered the garden with food, all of their faces shined.

"Big brother, Zevien!"

"Hahaha," Zevien laughed as he put the food down since the kids hugged him, "today we are having a feast!"

The kids cheered happily.

A six-year-old cute girl with blue twin ponytails approached Vernisia and Erica before saying cutely, "these two big sisters are so beautiful."

"Oww..," Vernisia bent her knees with a sweet smile and patted the girl, "but you are more cute. Come, give this big sister a hug."

"N-no...I am dirty…," the small girl backed away.

"Who said that!?" Vernisia made an angry face as she warmly hugged the girl, "you are not dirty at all, okay?"

​ The other small girls were very happy seeing Vernisia and Erica while the boys were clinging to Dan and Zevien.

"Big brother, can you teach us martial arts? I will learn martial arts and protect everyone," the oldest kid of the group, an eleven years old boy, spoke as he rubbed his nose with a wide grin.

"You are following that manual every day, right?" Zevien asked strictly.

"Eh, we are, but it's boring just to do those exercises and simple moves."

"Alright, enough talking for now," Helena said as she clapped her hands, "since the food is here, then start eating. Weren't you all starving?"

Vernisia and the other three opened the bags and arranged the food dishes before everyone started digging in.

"Wow, this is so delicious!"

"Mhmm…, mhmm, I have never eaten something delicious like this before."

"Mother Helena, what are you waiting for? Come on, eat with us," Zevien said as he noticed that mother Helena was just looking at them with a happy smile instead of eating.

Helena nodded and sighed happily as she looked at Zevien, "I am just feeling happy today. But you have to let me know how this happened, okay?"

Zevien nodded with a grin.

After eating, Zevien and mother Helena went to the office as Zevien told her about the potion thing and also transferred 200,000 Lopax credits to her.

"Just today morning, I gave you 10,000 Lopax credits, and now you are giving me 200,000," mother Helena wryly smiled while shaking her head.

"No worries, mother," Zevien said with a grin, "I will keep earning more money. We will transform this orphanage and give a better future to those kids."

Mother Helena's eyes turned tearful, "I feel like I am dreaming. Oh, Zevien, you really became big quickly."

Afterward, Zevien told her that he would take the kids to eat outside tonight for dinner and have them enjoy some time.

"Alright, but they have to sleep at 10, so bring them by that time. It also becomes more dangerous at night, so be careful."

…

At 2 PM, Zevien, Vernisia, Erica, and Dan left the orphanage and arrived at Water Stream Taijutsu Dojo, which belonged to Dan's master.

However, it turned out that Dan's master was not in the Dojo and had to go out for urgent work, so Dan couldn't let Zevien meet his master.

"Anyway, we can still practice, so let's do it," Erica said as she went to wear the armor and gestured to Dan with her hand while speaking, "come and die."

On the other hand, Vernisia and Zevien also started a silent practice match against each other.

Zevien didn't speak to her but continuously smiled and made faces while fighting Vernisia.

"Sigh, I need to spend eight more days without speaking to the beautiful moon," Zevien sighed, "how regretful."
