《Survival of a healer》Chapter 13 Future of the Party
Advertisement
Arriving in front of the house in the outskirt Kevin looked at the magical moment , the red sunhine bestowed the scene an unimagineable beauty .
The smell of food drifted into Kevins nose . Stepping into the house he could see Caro carrying a steaming pot to the garden .
Seeing Kevin she smiled and said : "Wash your hands , we will eat outside ."
After washing the hands Kevin stepped outside to find the rest of the party . Polishing his sword Mark grinned at Kevin and said : "How was the first time ?"
"Stop bullying him !" interrupted An .
"Hahaha , i remember the time where you did your first monster hunt alone . That time you .... " laughed Mark .
"I don't think you have any right to make fun of anyboy when you cried and peed in your pants when you stept into the sewer ." interrupted En .
Ignoring the laughter around him Mark coughed and said : "Seems like you survived it Kevin . Gratulation !"
Embaressed Kevin sat down while the party gratulated him for his adventure baptism .
"Wow , i am doing the hard cooking job and you are enjoying yourself huh ?" teased Caro while carrying the steaming pot . Bogo followed her carrying a basked full of freshly baked bread .
"Enough teased , lets eat . I think we are all hungry , especially Kevin ." smiled Adam .
Distributing the plates the party started to eat the delicious bread and stew .
While eating Adam said something which shocked Kevin .
"We will travel towards one of the major citys in one month ."
"Mikar or Kuja ?" asked Emilia while chewing her bread in an almost royal way .
"Definitely Kuja , Mikars noble discriminates beast man and the alliance . In their opinion the humans should be the overlord ." said Bogo in a despised tone .
"No , if we travel towards a major city we should go to the capital ." added Mark .
"Even if my big brother sometimes is an annoying idiot he does sometime make good decisions . I am too for the opinion we should go to the capital . They have huge dungeon connection to the underground ." said En after Marks opinion .
"At first i wanted to start in Kuja , but the capital is way better . The only problem is that the capital is far away compared to Kuja ." said Adam .
"Ehm , why do we even travel towards one major city ?" asked Kevin . Naturally he does know that people travel towards the city for ressources like better technology and work places . But this village has everything they need so why travel ?
"Naturally because there are dungeons there . Kevin you need to know that precious ores and equipment drop there . Even legendary monsters live in dungeons . If you want to get a title you need to go into a dungeon . The drops compared to normal plains are gigantic ." explained Adam .
"To sum it up a dungeon is an endless source of treasures , titles and experience . You can even join a guild to make raids with hundreds of people ." added Bogo .
"I think you now ask why not everybody hunts in dungeon . Because the wildness is not worse than the dungeons . You can level there , you can find precious ores and materials too . But a dungeon is more practical than the wilderness . You go into the dungeon and fight , and then go out and live without any worries in the citys since monsters don't come out from the dungeon ." explained Emilia .

"Yes , i even heard that there exists wilderness dungeons in which gods live ." said Bogo .
Turning towards Kevin Adam said : "To make it short , dungeons are places where you can go into the danger but the danger can't come out . In the wilderness the danger is everywhere ."
"But once the dungeon core is destroyed , corrupted or wants to conquer humanitiy the monsters can leave the dungeons ." explained Emilia .
"Emilia is right , monster can leave the dungeon in the wild but the city dungeons always make a safety contract . The people will ensure safety for the dungeon core and the dungeon core won't invade the city ." said Caro .
"Eat up , we will train in this small city for a while . After all Kevin is still under leveled and we can grind our jobs here . Besides i heard they have a plain dungeon almost out of the city . What suprised me though is the fact that the dugeon boss is classified as 8-party boss level 40 . I think we should set our first goal to kill this dungeon boss and then travel towards the capital ." suggested Adam while grabbing another bread .
Everyone agreed . After eating the delicious stew and freshly baked bread of Caro Kevin leaned lied on his bed made out of straw .
He imagined that straw beds would be more uncomfortable . After all he's used to soft feather beds . But the straw layer is quite big , and soft .
Slowly falling into sleep Kevin wondered why it wasn't suggested that traveler partys don't meet up . I mean this whole trusting point system is so unrealistic . Even if this appeared to be gamelike , what should come next ? Raising the love points of a flag ? Or marriage points ? Or hate points ?
He remembered that the reward people got for grouping was trust increased by 50 , doesn't that mean that these people will trust each other like the mighty 'I will die for ya' friendships ?
Maybe it was true , but Kevin didn't cared for that . He fought in the sewer the entire day , killed rats the size of cats and found out that raids and dungeon existed . His entire body felt sore to Kevin and his eyes felt glued .
Thus he slept in a city in another world for the first time .
The first sunrays caused Kevin to wake up , he doesn't know why , but people in this world woke up every single morning . Extremely early !
Yawning Kevin changed his clothes to other cloths which looked normal to the people in this world . A t-shirt made out of normal wool , long pants made out of wool and underpants made out of wool too .
Stepping out of his room Kevin walked towards the kitchen where Caro cooked breakfast . Soup made out of different spices and eggs with bread .
While eating Kevin asked Caro : "Where are the others ?"
"They are grinding their jobs or hunting ." replied Caro while making Lunch .
[ Effect : 10% more Experience for 2 Hours ]
Sudddenly a system message appeared in front of Kevin .
Smiling Caro answered : "That new job bonus , i can add different buffs on my meals i cook ."
"Nice ! So my duty is it to go to the sewer again ?" asked Kevin .
"Yes , practically it would be better if you join Mark or Adam and get carried . But Alchemists need some of those materials in the sewer for potions . Besides own battle experience is more worth than the level you get from just following them ." answered Caro while taking out some sandwiches and said : "Here , your lunch for today . Good luck ."

"Thanks !" Kevin stood up and walked towards the sewer .
On his way he tried to summon amy , without success . The only message he got was from the system :
[ Amy : Hibernation 10 days left ]
Sighing Kevin continued his way to the sewer . If amy didn't get a good boost in her states then the hibernation would be a waste of time ! He needed help since he is pretty much useless in the fights . Only amy could do a good amount of damage as well as take damage for Kevin .
But Kevin knew that he shouldn't be angry at amy , maybe she will run away and he will be alone ! Thus he cursed the system for not guiding him about pets !
Taking one of the friendly rats as his guide Kevin stepped into the sewer for the second time .
Equipping his spear and wooden shield Kevin started to hunt rats .
Stab , stab , stab . It is quite easy to kill the rats if one is used to . Almost like a maniac Kevin dashed around the maze like system of the sewer and hunted for rats . The friendly giant riant rushed around with Kevin . Naturally with ease , after all the speed of a human couldn't be compared with a rat running with normal speed .
Ignoring the system loot messages Kevin searched for more rats . He bought an inventory at the beginning . Even if he didn't know the maximum capacity it shouldn't be smaller than a huge warehouse .
Kevin continued to stab the giant rats while hoping for something stronger to appear . However he didn't got cocky , after all as a casual gamer he knew that being cocky could be the most fatal flaw in a fight . Understimating monster could lead one to gather more monster than one able to fight and thus the person will die .
One by one Kevin killed the rats . The friendly rat supported Kevin when there was more than one rat .
However Kevin only fought the rats one by one , he didn't dared to gather the aggro from many and use wider spear attack .
Since stabbing is effective , most rats died from one stab or stab and kick , Kevin gathered his exp slowly .
Unlike in games Kevin didn't fought like a maniac . He preserved his stamina for each stab . After all he isn't a virtual character with unlimited stamina .
Leaning on of the sewer walls Kevin strocked the soft fur of the giant rat .
Pondering if he should leave the sewer and finish his day Kevin looked at the system message . Because comparing the feelings and the facts are like comparing poop and diamonds .
(AN: Example : I run 100 meter wit full speed , thus i feel extremely exhausted but i only run a short distance . If i walk 4 kilometers with my normal walking speed i don't feel exhausted , only a little bit tired . )
[ Loot : ]
[ 137 x Giant Rat Tail ]
[30 150 exp ]
Guessing the amount of time he spent in the sewer Kevin calculated 20 minutes for the walk to the sewer , and each rat about 2 minutes .
'So i spent around 5 hours in the sewer .' assumed Kevin while saying to the rat : "Can you lead me the way to the outside ?"
Quiking the rat lead Kevin through the sewer .
Taking out the sandwiches made by Caro Kevina ate his Lunch .
Even though he is a former fatty , Kevin could see his belly fat melting under the constand fighting . Thus he could eat everything he wanted .
It wasn't visible though since the body created muscles to help Kevin survive these harsh body activities .
But Kevin could feel muscles lying under his fat layer and felt happy . Who wouldn't feel happy if one got some strong muscles to show off ? Hehe .
While dreaming of how to show off his future muscles , the sewer suddenly shook as if an earthquake appeared .
The shocked Kevin could only hurry the rat to lead him faster .
Dust dropped from the ceiling causing Kevin to cough .
"Cough , cough ! Godamn ! Why do i have to live through these dangers . Where is my fortunate encounter ?" cursed Kevin while following the rat with hurry .
Suddenly stones as large as human heads dropped down crashing left and right of Kevin .
Panting Kevin rushed towards the exit in hope of escaping this collapsing sewer .
As he spotted the exit he could only feel how something heavy landed on his head .
'Seems like i will die because of a stone .' sighed Kevin as he prepared to die .
But the only thing what happened was :
[Player got stunned for 5 minutes . Counter the stun with [Cure] or other debuff lifting things . Do you wish to fight against stun ? Exchanging 5 minutes of stun with 30 min of nausea and headache . {Yes} {No} ]
Choosing {Yes} as soon as he could Kevin looked at his surrounding , the entrance only 20 meter away . Without realizing why the passage of the sewer got broader .
Not only broader , the scope could be compared to a spacious plaza .
Now even a giant 3 time higher than Kevin could easily fit in this "sewer" tunnel .
But kevin didn't care for that , the headache hit him like a mallet hitting stone . Vomiting his former lunch Kevin quickly casted [Lesser Cure] on himself .
This time no shiny palm appeared , instead Kevin could feel as if he breathed cold and fresh air .
His entire body relaxed , just comfortable .
However soon the feeling dissipated and nausea and headache hit him harder than before .
Casting [Lesser Cure] on him for six more time stopped the headache , nausea disappeared on the third time .
Just in time , one would say if this is a story .
Something striked Kevin as his body flew a small distance .
Looking at the system message Kevin felt how sweat appeared on his body .
NO !
[ - 23 HP ]
Almost half of his HP in one hit , who is it ?
Taking the shield out from his inventory Kevin barely was able to block the incoming strike .
Standing up with his spear Kevin looked at his opponent .
[ Lesser Rat Warrior Lv 14 ]
[ HP 170/170 ]
