Chapter 36 - The last preparations
"I don’t like this."
The one talking is Yaci, and we are in our tent in the morning of our expedition to the dungeon.
"Why?"
"You shouldn’t be doing this. You are just a child. And for what? What are you supposed to gain from this?"
"Well, possibly an ally? If she is one of the creators of the system, she might know stuff that would help everyone, not just us."
"But it isn’t right to dump it on you. She has been there for ages, and only now are we doing something about it? By sending a child?"
She is visibly frustrated, and it’s understandable. But the Loa, having met with Oya, probably knows about my background as an otherworlder.
And also there’s the task Oya herself expects me to do, of freeing the people of this world from the fetters of slavery.
And having that in mind, getting the help of one of the people who created the system would be a great help.
I’m beginning to suspect that this system is detrimental for everyone, including the humans.
Those skills are nice and all, and the stats increase even more, but I worry about where that energy is coming from.
