'Isn't that information too vague? They should at least explain it properly. At least I got Mana stat so I can use this skill.'
'But wait. Is that really a coincidence. The stat came at just the perfect timing. It feels weird.'
Shin started pondering something very deeply. Alice who saw Shin thinking very deeply was mesmerized by his look.
Suddenly she snapped out of her daze and shook her head.
'What am I doing?' She looked at Shin and said.
"Shin let's go. I don't think we should stay here for long. Shouldn't we hurry towards your home? Let's go see your parents." She said in a. Worried tone.
To be honest Alice was not worried about them as Shin told her they will be fine.
'If darling says they are fine. Then they are fine.' No questions asked.
She was excited to meet Shin's parents and go to his house.
'How am I going to introduce myself?'
'Hello, mom and dad. Nice to meet you.' She giggled at that thought.
'Wouldn't referring to them as mom and dad suddenly be embarrassing. I'll have to get used to it eventually.'
'I am Shin's wife. No um, I'm still not married. I'm his lover. Yeah, that's better. Fufu~ I can't wait to meet them.'
Alice thought to herself and smiled in delight.
Shin nodded and replied.
"Yes let's go. They might be worried about me."
Alice smiled and they started walking in the direction of Shin's home.
After traveling for a few minutes Shin's steps came to a halt. Alice also stopped behind Shin. He turned his head everywhere with narrowed eyes seemingly searching for something.
"Is something wrong?" Alice asked as she didn't understand the reason behind Shin's action.
Shin nodded and replied to her in a calm voice.
"Yes, this place is too quiet and we haven't encountered any monsters after that fight. Just what happened here?"
"I see," Alice replied to him with a look of understanding.
Shin was deep in thought as he continued walking. Alice felt something was weird but she didn't bother to mind it as her mind was focused on observing Shin's actions. For some reason, she felt happy just seeing him.
They entered the 'Lawrence street 4' of the Northern sector in Aston city. His eyes fell on a few people by the side of the road. They looked like soulless bodies.
They didn't say anything nor did they respond to Shin's gaze. But their sorrowful eyes explained everything. The terror they experienced.
The losses they had. Material loss or the loss of their loved ones. The havoc they experienced wasn't something a normal person can remain sane.
Shin felt it was better to not ask them anything. It will only increase their misery. They moved further ahead.
They came across the park that Shin passed by this morning. What Alice saw in front of her was like a Deja Vu. The scene was a lot similar to the chaos she saw at Donald's cafe. (Where her family had their meeting).
She turned to Shin whose eyes were teary. Both in sorrow and anger. Just this morning he saw children playing in this park enjoying their weekend happily while laughing and their guardians or parents enjoying themselves while watching over them.
That peaceful scene flashed across his eyes which overlapped with the sight in front of him.
The park was covered in blood puddles and dead bodies.
The swings were covered with red color blood. What should have carried children for them to enjoy was now carrying their blood.
The benches, which should have been used for rest. There now lay people resting in peace while some of their body parts were missing and their bodies were disfigured.
The scene was gory. The scene in front of them looked like a horror film set.
'I wish it was just a film. But sadly this is the reality now.'
They soon heard some wailing sounds as they noticed the presence of people nearby.
They were crying holding onto a body of a kid. They looked like that kid's parents.
Shin thought of his parents and a worried look flashed on his face.
'They will surely be in distress. I shouldn't make them wait.'
Shin and Alice headed their way without disturbing those parents. They knew they can't console them even if they tried. So it's better to let them come on terms with things at their own pace.
They came across a barricade which was half broken. Some people were holding on to it. As they noticed Shin and Alice one of them waved their hand.
"Hey, you two. What are doing taking a stroll over there? Come here quick or return to your home."
Shin nodded and made his way toward them. They looked at Shin's handsome face and got confused.
They never saw this handsome man in their neighborhood. Someone this eye-catching can't go unnoticed and the same goes for Alice, Who was following behind him. She was simply too beautiful.
"Do you live nearby?" The lightly bearded man asked.
"Yes," Shin replied.
They looked at him weirdly but made way for them to go. It wasn't time to bother about their identities or help their curiosity. If another wave of those monsters came they will be in trouble.
While walking on the street two hearts were thumping loudly.
One was tensed with worry.
'They should be fine. But I don't want to think of the worst-case scenario.'
And another was beating with excitement.
'I am going to meet my in-laws.'
(-_-)
...
After some walking, both of them found themselves in front of house number '245'. It was Shin's house.
Then he smelled blood in the air. He nervously walked to the door to open it. But to his surprise, it wasn't locked.
His heart was beating loudly. As he opened the door the sight in front of him shocked him.
There was black blood on the floor. That means some monsters broke in. He closed the door cautiously.
They moved forward and entered the living room. Both of their mouths agape. There were dozens of Corpse eater's bodies lying on the floor.
At that moment he felt someone open the door but before he could react he was slammed with a tight hug from behind.
"SHINN!!"
It was a beautiful woman with golden-brown hair. Her beautiful blue eyes which resembled Shin's had tears on them. It was Reina Wolner Shin's mother. She was shorter than him but this time she felt much shorter than this morning.
Maybe his physical change was too much.
"Ahem."
Behind her was a black-haired man with brown eyes who tried to make a poker face but failed as he came forward and gave them a tight hug.
Alfred started crying more than Reina as his poker face from before crumbled. Shin felt the warmth that he avoided all these years and has been longing for these last few hours in front of him.
He just enjoyed that moment as he felt tears streaming down his eyes.
***
After some time they calmed down as Reina's eyes fell on a beautiful girl with purple hair with shades of blue, standing in the corner. She was looking at them with a warm smile.
Her smile was so sweet that Reina just wanted to pinch her cute cheeks. But she restrained herself and broke the embrace as she said.
"Ahem."
"Let's have a seat, I'll prepare something to eat."
"I think we should clean up first." Said Alfred as he pointed at the pile of corpses in the living room and then at everyone one by one.
Reina and Alfred, we're both covered in the black blood of monsters.
Shin had already changed his clothes once with the security uniform he found but they were also a mess now.
After their constant battles. His clothes were barely covering his body and stained with monster blood.
Alice's clothes were also torn and in poor condition. It was a miracle that it withstood until now.
Reina nodded in understanding. Shin was about to introduce Alice to them but was stopped as heard Reina's voice.
"Shin, you go clean up in your room."
Shin was about to say something but he saw his mom was taking Alice toward the guest room and she followed her like a duckling.
'Guess she can introduce herself and if she tells her situation to them. They will understand.'
Shin thought as he turned to his father who started carrying monster corpses out of the house.
Shin walked toward him and said.
"Dad, I'll help you."
Alfred glanced at Shin and saw how much his son has changed in just a few hours. His body looked that of an athlete with more muscles.
His skinny gloomy self from this morning was nowhere to be seen. He was filled with confidence and brilliance.
His son who always tried to escape from him or rather avoid him was now initiating the conversation and helping him.
He felt happy but he just nodded and didn't say much. After all, they will have a proper conversation later.
They knew their son must have faced things beyond common sense so they can't rush into such sensitive things.
Shin walked towards a Corpse eater's corpse and picked it up like it was nothing. Then he picked up another. Alfred was shocked but Shin didn't stop there as he picked four more and grabbed them from their neck.
He took them out of the house and threw them near the society's garbage collection area.
Shin then returned as he repeated the process. Alfred just looked at this scene in shock.
Shin cleared the pile of those monsters in three rounds.
He smiled at his father and made his way toward his room. Alfred just stood there in shock. Looking at the place where the pile of corpses was and Shin's walking figure.
He knew he would have been able to do that very easily but he never expected his son to become so strong suddenly.
"I am proud of him."
***
Shin opened the door to his room. The dark messy place where he stayed. What he never cared for looks like heaven now. Shin went to the bathroom as he took his clothes off and had a shower.
He felt his body relax as he removed all the dirt and blood he was covered in.
He looked at the mirror as he wiped his body.
"HOLY SHIT!!"
"Is that me?"
"How did I become so handsome? Those stat changes never said anything about increasing my charm."
"Don't tell me.." Shin widened his eyes in realization.
"I was born this handsome, I just never cared for myself."
Shin had a satisfied smile on his face. As he came out of the bathroom and wore some casual clothes. But he was faced with another problem.
None of his clothes fit him anymore. He sighed.
'Maybe I should ask dad.'
But on his bed, he saw a pair of clothes that looked like the one his father had.
'Heh. Thanks, Dad.'
Shin smiled and started wearing them.
***
In the living room, Reina and Alfred sat side by side on a couch and Alice sat in front of them wearing Reina's clothes.
All of them had cleaned up. But Shin was still taking his sweet time to bathe and admire his new body.
Alice and Reina didn't say a word to each other all this while.
Reina just waited for her to clean up and Alice was nervous in front of her future mother-in-law.
"I am Reina Wolner, Shin's mother and this is Alfred Wolner. My husband, and Shin's father."
Alfred nodded at Reina's words and smiled at Alice.
"Can you tell me about yourself and your relationship with my son?" Reina asked the question that she wanted to ask all this while.
Alfred was also curious as his ears perked up.
Alice smiled at them and bowed slightly as she replied.
"I am Alice Kayden. Shin and I promised to be together for the rest of our lives. I hope to get your blessings."
Alice's face turned red as she smiled shyly.
""What?"" Both Reina and Alfred exclaimed in shock.
