《Deity's Fragments [Paused]》Chapter 25 - Back to Earth

"All done, you can now move your foot again."
The Dwarf had taken zack to the infirmary after the battle. His foot was the only thing they could find injured, so a dwarf with healing skills was brought in to treat his wound.
Zack moved his foot, and everything was normal; he felt no discomfort or outside energy influencing him.
"Thank you so much", he expressed.
"No way, if you hadn't stopped the beasts, there could have been a bigger disaster", replied a man who barely made it into the room.
This was another dwarf, but he had military clothing and some insignia. "I am General Trall. What should I call our benefactor?"
Zack was a little uncomfortable with all the formalities; after all, this wasn't his thing. "You can call me Red Devil. After all, it's the name I've been given in the dimensions."
"Well, well, a great name for someone of your calibre", expressed the soldier with a big smile. "We know you plan to visit another planet, and your trip was delayed. If you don't mind, you could accompany me; my platoon will be passing close to the earth, so it's no inconvenience to let you pass through."
"If it's not a bother, I'd love to tag along", he expressed his sincerity. He thought he would last longer and have to wait for another cruise. He didn't know when it would leave.
"Don't be so humble. You're right at home, by the way, this is your reward," He said, passing him a bag.
Zack had seen the bag to him but didn't know what it was. He thought it was just some of the general's belongings.
He took the bag, and inside he found 10,000 Star Coins and 20 levels 2 cores. "Isn't this...?" before he finished, the general interrupted him and said.
"I know it's little for hunters of your calibre, but we had to pay equal to the other hunters, but inside you can find a green card. With that card, you will be able to enter our planet as a VIP."

Zack wanted to say that what he had been given was too much but decided to keep it to himself. "Thank you very much; when can we leave?"
"Our ship is ready; it was just waiting for confirmation of whether or not you would be going with us."
Zack just nodded and began to follow the general. Soon they arrived at a spaceship that was about the size of a 5 story house. It was small compared to those used to carry many passengers or even wars.
The major races had motherships with the size of even a small planet.
Zack stored the 20 cores making.
*** One week later on the outskirts of planet Earth ***.
The journey had been long because the dwarf galaxy is quite far from the galaxy where humans reside, and they had to go through several protocols of that galaxy's alliance.
"So much for our journey. I hope we can meet again and next time enjoys a glass of ale together" He extended his hand towards Zack as he looked like respect with a smile.
Zack smiled in return and shook the general's hand, then walked to a pod and closed the door.
The capsule shot out of the ship and headed for earth. A few minutes later, it landed on a space station.
A group of people greeted zack. These were the space authority on earth. Getting out of the capsule, he wasted no time and explained everything to the people and was soon released. The dwarves could later retrieve his capsule, so he left it with the space department.
Leaving the space station, he sought out a public restroom where he removed his mask. 'Free at last' although he liked wearing his mask, he felt tied down somehow.
After exiting, he sought out a public communicator and paid the fee to use it.
"Hello?" he heard a female voice.
"Mother, I'm back", he replied, activating his avatar so he could be seen.

His mother activates hers as well. "Son, I was looking forward to seeing you again, why did you come back so soon?..... Forget it; I'm back home, come back soon; there are some people I'd like to introduce you to."
"A lot has happened, but I'll tell you at home, I'll see you there, mother," he said goodbye and left the communicator.
He looked at the bracelet on her wrist. Being on earth gave him a bad feeling seeing this.
He decided to call a cab and pay to be taken to his mother's house.
The trip wouldn't take long, as the space station he landed at was the space station of the Steam continent's capital, the continent he lived on.
Soon the cab arrived and indicated. "To Orio City."
He paid and leaned back in the vehicle as he took a short nap.
"Son, I hope you live your own adventures and don't be influenced by this old man, try to be what you want; no one has to judge you for that", Said his father.
"I want to be like your dad. I want to hunt monsters and get stronger and stronger," Zack replied.
The man hit Zack on the head and said. "You idiot didn't you hear what I told you, don't try to be like your old man, be better."
"I'll be a better old man then," He said as he sneered and started to run.
...
"Sir, we have arrived."
Snapping out of his daydream, Zack looked inside the cab and then outside where he could see a house.
He opened the door as he walked downstairs with a bit of a headache after getting some sleep. He didn't know where this headache was coming from; he was a superhuman, so he shouldn't have any discomfort.
Standing in front of the house, he rang the doorbell and waited for a while. It was already late afternoon, and the sun was setting when he reached the house. Soon a girl of about 13 opened the door, and almost screaming, ran and hugged Zack.
"Brother!"
Zack picked her up by her hip and hugged her, "You've grown up a lot Silvia, how was your trip?"
With her eyes sparkling, she replied. "There's a lot to tell you, brother; let's go inside and see mother. I'll tell you about everything I visited. It was a fascinating trip."
A woman came out before he entered and hugged him equally. "Son, I missed you so much."
Some tears could be seen on his face. Zack felt very motivated and cried too. Although he always seemed cold and distant, there were the people who could bring out the warmest in him.
"I missed you too. I missed you all."
Entering the house, the mother prepared some coffee, as this was her son's favourite drink. Meanwhile, Zack was with Silvia at the table, listening to his sister's stories.
"I saw a giant tiger and also a dragon sleeping on a mountain in the distance," she said.
Zack listened eagerly. These were beasts that had mutated or entered through a dungeon break, but they were controlled perimeters.
His mother arrived with a cup she placed on the table in front of Zack with some coffee. They were all pleased and cheerful as they talked when suddenly the door to the house opened.
"Oh, what a touching family reunion," said a blond boy.
Zack looked at him sideways and then turned them to his mother, who had a serious expression as she said.
"These are the people I wanted to introduce you to, son.
They belong to one of the 5 families, the Moon family."
