Chapter 20
In RPG games, there’s always an NPC who plays a significant role by accompanying the player through important story arcs or by giving frequent and bothersome tasks. Think of Tyrael from Diablo or someone like Nara in Mabinogi. In Asares, Mircel Tenest played a similar role. Known as the Sword Saint, he was crucial in introducing the player to the Tenest family. However, Mircel’s significant role in the game came in the later stages when he was an adult, making him quite different from the young version I knew from the game’s illustrations.
“Brother. Your cute little brother is asking for a favor. Play with me just once, okay?”
He never spoke in such a cutesy manner. Although I had expected to encounter him eventually since seeing the family tree, I didn’t anticipate him making such a request right off the bat, which left me slightly flustered. Playing sword fights with a little kid might not seem like a big deal, but Mircel was practically a monster.
