"Mum wakeup!, Roomi wakeup! Uh hoo hooo
"
The girl was shaking their bodies and crying.
"System, give me the healing potion
"
He quickly ordered the system after doing CPR on both the woman and the baby but he couldn't restart their stopped hearts.
Just after he ordered the system, a small vial of blue liquid appeared in his hand.
"Move
"
He pushed the little girl and opened the baby's tiny mouth
"Human, what are you doing?
"
As far as Gaya was concerned their hearts stopped beating and they were long dead. But at first, he was pumping their chests and now he was pouring some liquid into the baby's mouth, she couldn't guess why he was doing this.
However, her eyes went wide when she saw the color returning to the baby's body as the tiny human moved its legs. He was in no mood to rejoice. He needed to save this little girl's mother or they would turn into orphans like him.
Without thinking about the preciousness of the healing potion, he poured every last drop of it into the woman's mouth and waited for her to wake up.
"(COUGH!)
"
After a few seconds, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and coughed a lot of blood.
"MUM!
"
"CINDY!
"
The girl jumped right into her mother's arms as the woman showered the little girl with kisses.
"Uwaaahhh
"
The baby also began to cry and announced its presence to the mother.
"Roomi!
"
Gaya and Micheal stood silent on the sidelines waiting for the three of them to finish crying.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for saving the people in need. The reward is 300 badass points and the windblast skill
The system's voice appeared in his mind but before he could check out the windblast skill, the woman shouted.
"THE CHILDREN!
"
Suddenly the woman's eyes widened as she cried out loud
"Young master Riyan, the children
"
She was pointing in the opposite direction of the village, to be exact the river sider.
"What? There are survivors
"
"Yes, young master, please save them
"
"Hey system, do I get rewards for saving people too?
"
It depend on the people or person who need help, host
"What do you mean by that?
"
It means the system won't reward you if you get manipulated to help or the person who asks help was using the host, in such situation if the host does help that person, the system will not reward the host but take away some points as a penalty
"Roger that system
"
He was not planning to help everyone in this world like some kind of samaritan but when he saw that little girl crying for help, he couldn't stand there and do nothing. It was a basic act of humanity and although he was not entirely a good person, he was not that cruel not to do anything when a little girl like her asking to save her mother.
"The cabin, please, young master
"
The woman stuttered and kept pointing in the same direction as before.
"Stay with them
"
He said and dashed towards the river leaving Gaya with the mother and daughters.
"Does he think I'm his servant?
"
She was a princess and she was supposed to order this human around yet, she had to put up with him so she could get the pills from him to repair her meridians.
After reaching the river and running on the shore for a few minutes, he finally picked up a trail, and looking at the amount of blood, he hoped it didn't belong to the kids.
The blood trail led him into the woods and at last after following the trail for some time, he saw a wooden cabin surrounded in the distance.
As he got closer, he sighed in relief sensing the life signs inside the cabin.
(Knock knock)
He knocked on the door because after hearing the murmuring voices of little children.
"The demons, they came for us
"
"Shhhhh
"
"What do we do?
"
"Whooo hooo
"
The children were sobbing and held each other tightly in fear
"Kids, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you, open the door, hey Riyan, are you inside?
"
He couldn't open the door and realized that the door was manned from the inside.
"Brother Riyan, wake up!
"
"Wake up?
"
Micheal knew he must have died and sighed. He felt he could easily destroy the wooden door using his new skill, wind blast but there was a chance that the debris could hurt the kids inside.
Thinking of an alternative way to enter the cabin, he looked up and fired his grappling hook to the branch near the cabin roof.
Thud
The children inside shivered hearing the thud sound on the roof and some grown-up kids picked up some stones and sticks lying on the ground to protect their brothers and sisters.
"Hey kids, I'm coming in
"
He announced his presence as he entered the cabin by breaking through the roof.
The moment he landed on the cabin, he was welcomed by stones to the face but the shield protected him from these brave kids.
IF it was on the normal days, he would have laughed off at the kids or pinched their cheeks as punishment but now he couldn't help but feel sadder for them because from now on, the world would call them orphans.
He knew that pain of being called an orphan, he would have had a different life if he had parents like many kids. Even the body transmigrated into was just like him.
Looking at the little kids, he noticed many kids wetting themselves in fear.
"Don't be afraid, Cindy's mother sent me
"
Hearing the name Cindy, a relieved expression appeared on their little faces.
"She's alive?
"
One of the boys who was holding a long stick as a weapon asked him.
"Yes, Roomi, the baby too, now go and wait outside, I'll bring you to them
"
The kids still looked unconvinced
"If I wanted to hurt you, I would have done by now
"
The kids looked at each other and finally under the leadership of the boy, the kids walked out of the cabin.
"Is he going to be alright?
"
Micheal heard the voice of a little girl from behind when he walked towards Riyan, who was lying on the floor holding his wound on his gut.
Riyan was surely a teenager who barely had any chest hair on him. Michael crouched before him and closed his eyes
"You did good, kid
"
Even though Micheal was in the body of a teenager like him, he reached the age of twenty-nine on the earth, so he called him a kid.
Riyan's face was covered in blood and behind that blood, he knew that Riyan must have been a handsome youth who had a sling life to live but he lost his life by saving these kids.
"Sunrise Sect
"
On his torn robes, he noticed a badge on his chest and wiping off the blood from it, he read.
"Rest in peace kid, they will suffer for this and this will be my payment
"
He clutched the badge and said as he lifted Riyan's body to bury him properly. His body was not in the condition for him to take it to his sect and bury there.
��He's dead, isn't he?
"
When Micheal stepped out of the cabin with Riyan's body in his arms, the boy silently asked him.
"Yes, now follow me
"
The children silently followed him, they didn't speak or utter any words.
"Brother….no….young master
"
The boy left the group and came to him while he was leading the group to the village.
"I'm not a young master kid, you can call me brother
"
SImply the word young master felt awkward when it came out of this boy's mouth so Micheal told him to call him brother.
"Oh
"
The boy nodded
"Brother, what about the other kids in the village? Did you save them too?
"
The moment he heard the boy, his heart skipped a beat as he halted his steps.
Before he left the village, he spent 50 badass points to scan the entire village for life signs but the system did not find any except for Cindy, her mother, and the baby.
If these twenty kids weren't the only kids in the village, that meant only one thing, they were killed by the ones who massacred the village or lost their lives to the fire.
Thinking about those murderers, his killing intent skyrocketed and his nails started to dig into his palms in anger.
"Wait till I get my hands on those bastards
"
He gritted his teeth and continued to walk.
"System, give me a paralyzing poison
"
