New World
south hill 2's

Alan paid 2 silver for a one-room hotel fee per night. Alan bit his own teeth because of the expensive rental price. It takes a day's effort to hunt monsters to earn 2 silver money from the monster item drop. Even the hotel where he stayed is not suitable to say the hotel. The facilities provided were even worse than Alan's dormitory.

"Are all the hotels in New World like this?" Alan muttered.

Hotels in New World are indeed available for players or NPCs. Players can rest at the hotel to restore HP. Not only that, players who rest in the hotel for one night will also get a Double Exp Buff for 12 hours and reduce the use of stamina.

Stamina is one attribute that is not displayed, but is possessed by players. Stamina is the power of the brain's endurance to perform activities in the game. The higher the intensity of the game and the environment, the higher the use of stamina.

For example, if the player who fights for 3 hours, the use of stamina will be more than players who just walk the road.

As for the NPCs, resting in the hotel restored their Stamina and HP. NPCs also get an extra 50% attribute for 6 hours. Which made the NPCs even stronger.

Such is the information that Alan got from the hotel receptionist. The name of this village is also Alan get from the receptionist hotel. The village is called South Hill. But Alan forgot to ask why this village was so deserted.

Alan, Clara and Freya entered the room. Alan asks Clara and Freya to rest while Alan chooses to log out. He needs to rest his brain.

Alan's activities in the real world were also just as usual. Lecture until the afternoon, train at the dojo, and return to New World by evening.

Alan was back in the room. The sun has not yet risen in New World. Clara and Freya are still sleeping. They both slept hugging, it was funny to see these two girls sleeping cuddling. Looks like a very good sister.

Alan refused to wake them both. Alan chose to walk the road in the village. He wanted to know more about this South Hill village.

The streets in the village will be crowded villagers. The villagers all carried witches and baskets.

"Why are there so many people on the streets now?" Alan muttered softly.

Alan followed the villagers who were walking in one direction. Alan was wondering what the citizens would do in a blind morning like this.

Alan's steps came to a halt on a barren hill east of the village of South Hill. At the foot of the hill there is a large cave. The mouth of the cave was 3 meters high and 5 meters wide.

What surprised Alan even more was that, at the mouth of the cave, there was a guard. But the one guarding the mouth of the cave was not a royal army, but a player.

"Player? What are they doing here?" Alan murmured while watching on top of the tree. He activated the zoom so that he could look into the mouth of the cave.

'Joker... You know this place?'

[Based on system data, this place is an iron ore mine.]

'Iron seed mine?'

[Really... Iron seeds can be used to make weapons and armor.]

Alan was watching from a distance. He did not want to get close, as it could cause unnecessary trouble.

Alan finally returned to the hotel. He needed to find out more information about the village of South Hill.

Alan finds Clara and Freya waiting for Alan in the room. They seemed to be preparing to continue their journey.

"Sister... You're back yet?" Clara sumringah after Alan came.

"Yes... I've been going around the village." Answer Alan accordingly.

"You guys ready? Let's go..."

They also continued their journey. Their main objective was to the South Mountain Kingdom to deliver the Middlemist village chief's letter of care, and try to negotiate about the hunt for the Wood Elves.

Alan, Clara, and Freya went through a not-so-big market. The streets in the market are a little more lively than on any other street. NPCs sell foodstuffs, herbs, some even sell weapons. Clara was captivated by the weapons on display, but because she did not have any money Clara could only hold her saliva.

" ah.... Ahhe... "

There was the sound of a little boy's moaning from a small alley. Alan, Clara and Freya immediately ran into the alley.

"Bas with the little thief... Still dare you steal again?" Shouted a man while kicking the child's stomach. The little boy was just curled up on the floor holding his stomach.

"Stop..." Shouted Alan who could not bear to see the little boy beaten with his sadistic.

"Who are you? Don't interfere." Shouted the man and tried to kick the boy again.

Alan moved quickly. He disappeared and was next to the man. The tip of Alan's dagger was attached to the man's neck.

The man was very surprised Alan was already beside him and a dagger was stuck to his neck. Cold sweat instantly dripped from his paled face.

"Ka... "The man's growl.

"How much did he steal?" Alan asked the man and slightly pressed his dagger against the man's neck.

"Du... Two. pu.luh. " The man was brick-strapped afraid that Alan would release his dagger.

" Hin for 20 choppers you beat this kid?" Alan exclaimed as he threw a 1 silver coin into the man's face.

"Take it and get out of my sight." Jerk Alan once more while releasing his dagger.

The man did not think twice, he immediately took the money and ran away as fast as he could before Alan changed his mind.

"Thank you brother..." Said the little boy after being given a Heal potion by Alan. The external injuries and pain that the child had instantly disappeared.

"It's my pleasure to help you... What's yourname?" Alan replied with a smile looking at the little boy who looked like a 6-year-old.

Krucuk...

The boy's answer was along with Ole's stomach voice which signified hunger.

"It looks like you're hungry... How about we have breakfast? It just so happens that my friend and I haven't had breakfast either." Fresh Alan.

Ole nodded, following Alan and his two friends to a small restaurant in the village.

"Why don't you eat? You're hungry, aren't you?" Alan asked Ole who was just looking at his food on the table.

"May I bring this food home?"

"Why?" Alan asked with a warm smile.

"I want to give this food to my mother" Ole replied in a slightly frightened tone.

"Eat it... I'll bring you some food for your mother. " Alan gave a warm smile again.

Ole smiled happily and rushed to eat his food on the table. Wormworms in his stomach already collect rations for food.

After eating Alan with Clara and Freya drove Ole home. The small, reot, unkempt house and located on the outskirts of this village is Ole's house.

From Ole's story, Ole lives with his mother. His father died a year ago of illness.

"Mothers... I'm h-home... " Shouted Ole while carrying the food he brought for his mother.

"Ole... Uhuk... You've already come home... " Answer to his mother who was sleeping in bed, coughing.

Ole's house has no bulkhead or any room. So once inside the house, what looks is a bed, a dining table and a small kitchen.

"Mothers... I brought good food for my mother... Mother eat...Let me get well soon..." Ole said excitedly.

"Where did you get this food, son?" asked her mother with a warm smile because she saw Ole was so excited.

"Son's the one who gave mom... Mother eat... "

"Thank you so much, young people, you have helped us. I'm sorry we couldn't welcome you properly?" Said Ole's mother.

"It's my pleasure to help mom... Eaten first... Ole's already brought it for mom, baby if it's not eaten soon." Alan replied politely, his heart so touched to see this mother and child.

Alan really misses the figure of his mother when he saw ole and mother. Finish eating Mother Ole introduces herself. Ole's mother's name is Lily. Alan gasped at Lily's name. Longing for his mother really has peaked, so that Alan can not take it anymore.

"Sorry Miss Lily.. Excuse me for a minute..." Pinta Alan with a slightly raucous voice.

Alan came out of the house and ran away from the house. Until Alan arrived in the middle of a deserted meadow...

"Aaaaaaaa........ " She screamed Alan as she spread her body into the grass.

Alan looked up at the blue sky. His mind was drawn by the figure of his mother who was already in another realm.

"Mother.... " Alans murmured softly, without feeling Alan's tears dripping on their own.

Over 1 hour Alan was just lying in the grass. Looking up at the sky, daydreaming about the time he was with his mother.

"Aah.... Here you are apparently..."

"Freya???" Alan exclaimed in surprise at Freya's arrival.

"Why? Need a story buddy?" Freya asked as she sat down beside Alan.

Alan simply fell silent not answering Freya's question.

"It's really fun to feel a mother's affection?" Freya said as she looked up at the blue sky.

Alan immediately gasped at Freya's words. He did not expect Freya to be able to understand Alan's current feelings.

"Well.... I envy Ole..." Said Freya again with a long sigh.

"Dad? Why?"

"Yes.... I can feel a mother's love." Freya replied with a little embarrassment.

"Where is your mother?" Ask Alan with ease.

"Died while giving birth to me." Freya replied quietly, her gaze blankly towards the blue sky.

Alan was back. He had already asked what he should not have asked.

"I'm sorry?" Alan said slowly, regretting his actions.

"No problem... My mother would also be sad in nature if I was sad." Freya said as she stood up and stretched her body.

Freya's words really stabbed Alan. Alan pensively contemplated for a moment to permeate Freya's words.

Freya leaves Alan alone. But Alan did not linger long contemplating.

"Aaaa..... " Chanted Alan while rising from his sleep, and ran after Freya.
