Fantasy System

Ed went back to the castle with Oliver. He then went to his father's room and entered.

"Father I brought him here," Ed told his father as he was entering.

"I see so this is the one you used your money to buy a spot in the sect for..." Arthur looked like he was judging Oliver. "What is your name?"

"O-Olivier sir!" Oliver was very tense. Anyone would be if they were meeting a king for the first time.

"Oliver, do you wish to join our sect?"

"I wish to get stronger. Strong enough to protect those I care about!" After hearing Arthur's question, Oliver answered seriously. It seemed like he took this matter very seriously.

"Hahahahah! The same answer as Ed huh... Very well you can come to the sect! All your paperwork is ready! You are now officially part of our Glory sect!" Arthur seemed very amused. Apparently, Oliver said the right things to him.

"Ed we're having a family dinner tonight make sure you're present! It's to celebrate your well being and your brother's safety. Don't try to run away, Griffin will be present as well." Before Ed could try to think up of an excuse Arthur interrupted him "Oliver make sure he gets here. You're invited as well".

What Arthur said shocked both Ed and Oliver. Normally a slum orphan would not join a noble family in their house let alone dinner. It seemed like Ed and Arthur have more in common than they thought.

"Y-Yes sir I will!" Oliver answered enthusiastically. 'You just sold me for a meal Oliver' Ed smiled wryly.

Ed spent the afternoon in his house and didn't hunt today. He trained with Raikou, Oliver, and Bella.

It seemed Bella enjoyed having more people in the house and didn't ask questions about Oliver. Bella got tired fast and Ed got Suika to play with her, while he continued training with Oliver.

Soon enough Oliver couldn't keep up so Ed continued sparring with Raikou. After he was done he asked the system for an overview of his stats.

It seemed like Raikou didn't get to the next level but he should be able to breakthrough soon enough. Suika got even stronger then he imagined which was a nice little surprise.

'I still need to get even stronger' Ed knew the system's evaluation wasn't wrong so he needed to get as strong as possible.

"It's time to prepare for dinner" Elizabeth's sound came from far away. It seemed like she came to pick them up by herself.

"Oh my it seems that we have a guest. What is your name" Elizabeth only now found out about Oliver.

"Oliver" A short answer as expected.

"Well, then you'll be joining us for dinner right? Then you can't come in those clothes. You need to take a bath as well. Come with me!" Elizabeth didn't let anyone object and dragged away Oliver, Bella followed after her. Ed could only pray for him in his heart.

"Let's take a bath as well Raikou" Ed took a bath and headed for the food hall. Although he didn't like eating there, he didn't have a choice this time.

After he got there with Raikou and Suika, he found Griffin,Eric, and Oliver sitting. Oliver seemed like he got a total makeover. His previously dirty silver hair was now shining which his face shine as well. His eyes were green and coupled with his features; he would definitely be a ladies' man when he grows up.

The dinner passed by peacefully after Arthur, Elizabeth and Bella came. Everyone was laughing and nobody seemed to remember the incident. Arthur also made sure to remind Griffin to take care of Oliver in the sect.

Ed was glad his family didn't care about social status so much as they even accepted Oliver to eat with them. Eric apologized to Oliver for his actions and also thanked Ed for saving him.

"I'll make sure that I get strong enough so that I would be the one saving you next time!" Eric still had his pride after all.

After the dinner ended everyone was about to leave when Ed asked Oliver if he had somewhere to stay at. After finding out that he lived in the streets, Elizabeth objected and told the maids to prepare a room for Oliver. She even told him to stay for as long as he wanted.

Oliver got overwhelmed and started crying. Elizabeth was moved and hugged him.

Oliver felt like he was back with his mother for the first time in so long.

Ed spent the next two days hunting. This allowed him to hit level 10 and Raikou to breakthrough after killing a King establishment monster in the forest. Raikou's aura was even more imposing now.

After getting back to the castle Ed went to his father to let him know he wanted to trade the body of the monster for money when he found another person about to enter his father's office as well.

"Young master Ed you're here!" The man was built very well with his muscles. He had black hair and brown eyes. He had a mustache and a goatee and seemed to be around 30 years old.

"General Leonard you have returned!" Ed recognized the man as the general of his country and greeted him.
