It was 97 days left. And unfortunately, for Ken he had no Charisma Points left.
Ken lifted his head to the sun and covered his eyes with his hands. Then, he bent down his head and breathed out slowly.
How will I proceed now?
he asked himself.
He gazed to the right and left, and he picked up his material from the ground and moved a few meters into the hole he dug before. Each step he made was full of motivation.
The pick was clutched in his right hand. He raised it with both hands. He straightened his arms and his body strengthened. He glared at the ground. The next second he sent a hit on the ground. It cracked.
The next hit, the ground shattered into small fragments.
Everyone was at work. Ken’s facial expression was serious, focused on his work. But in his mind it was a different story.
So... I don’t have any points... Did I make the best decision? Yes, it was the best decision to take.
Meanwhile someone walked slowly toward him. It was a lady with chocolate skin. She said.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Ken turned to his backside and he smiled a little. Then she approached him and talked slowly.
"You’re courageous... Did you even know you could die?"
Ken let go of his pick. It hit the ground and produced a metallic sound. The next second he folded his arms and said with confidence.
"Yes... I knew it."
She bent her neck and furrowed. Then she made a step toward him.
"This is advice: prepare yourself to suffer."
Then she walked away.
As she went, Ken slowly bent and snatched his pick.
Yes, I understand what you mean by that completely.
He remarked that the workers had traced a line on the ground, and they were all slowing down. It was like he was the only person in the field giving one hundred percent on the work.
Meanwhile the others started discussing among each other.
Ken was exhausted, waiting for the bell to ring before he stopped. His fingers were trembling. His palms were red. He stared at them.
At that time, all the workers started walking away from the place and suddenly the bell rang.
As Ken was about to go, as he turned, Bil was near him. His hands in his pockets. He stared at him with intense eyes and spoke.
"You are not authorized to rest or relax. Continue your work."
Ken only nodded. At once his stomach made an odd sound and he whispered.
"It’s started."
He dug: 5 meters depth, 15 meters of length, 4 meters of width.
Ken worked and everyone left him. It was part of his punishment. He straightened his arms and continued working, hitting the ground place after place. Then he stopped.
He was more than exhausted, and still no one came with food for him. He stared at the place in disappointment. Then he sat down on the ground, no energy left.
Then Lily was approaching him with food. As Ken sensed just the odour of the food he was salivating. He swallowed his saliva, and snatched the pick on the ground and continued as if he didn’t stop even once.
As she arrived close to him, she whispered his name softly and slowly.
"Ken"
Ken turned toward her with a happy smile. When she made one step further, she hit a stone and stumbled. The next second, Ken grabbed her on her hips.
And he breathed out slowly.
"You almost fell down."
She put her hair behind her ear and her face was even brighter.
"This is your meal... And work hard."
She walked away with a lovely smile.
Meanwhile, he couldn’t think about anything except food. His mind was completely focused on it. The food was in a box. He opened it and saw a delicious meal. And all the necessary items were still in the box, separated from the meal.
I guess I’m a VIP.
He ate the food rapidly as if he was in paradise.
Lily, far away from Ken, turned toward him. Even though she was far from him she could see him clearly, enjoying the food she prepared. At that time, she was satisfied.
As Ken finished the food he continued working.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Commander Moli and her twin sister were together discussing.
"I arrived in time... or I may have beheaded that guy... What was even his name again?"
She touched her forehead, thinking. After a second Moli replied.
"He is Ken..."
Her twin sister said slowly.
"He’s really naive, for you to remember his name so easily."
She folded her arms and stared at her sister with piercing eyes. Then she calmly said.
"I always remember the names of people that are not common. It’s easier to retain."
The two sisters were outside the workers area, moving toward the market.
Moli said, "Where are we going to now?"
The twin sister replied.
"To a tavern. The best in the town."
Moli nodded.
"I wasn’t invited to the tavern offered by my lovely sis... But."
She immediately stopped walking and gazed at her with a darkened face.
"...I don’t know why you helped that guy. He deserves death, not my pity or any other thing."
Moli then turned to the right, and smiled maliciously.
You will learn respect the hard way!! KEN!
