Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

We both saw Vicar being held in his cell; he was bleeding. We do not know what had happened, but this might be the cause why Aliss father was grinning about when we saw him outside. When Vicar see Aliss was there, he tries to act tough as he waves and smile towards my owner. 

But the act doesn't do well when someone was bleeding. Vicar face expression shows us that he was in pain. Aliss really feel guilty about this. She told the guards to leave her alone for a while, but the guardsman insisted on staying to make sure Aliss doesn't do anything weird. 

Aliss had to accept it and just talk with Vicar. My owner looks worried about Vicar. 

"What has my father done to you until you bleed?"

"Nothing, just some friendly interrogation... that's all beside it doesn't hurt at all."

"Don't try to act tough Vicar; tell me what has he done?"

"Sorry I can't, by the way, why did you come here..."

The guardsman that assign to accompany Aliss shouted that the time is up and Aliss should return back to the manor. They hardly even talk, I bet that Sir Allen told the guardsmen to let Aliss see Vicar for a few seconds only. 

With no time left, Aliss told Vicar to put his hand out so that she could give him a ring. Vicar didn't understand why she was doing so, but Aliss just told him to hurry up. Confuse as he might be now, he put his hand and Aliss take me off and put me on Vicar's finger. 

After successfully doing what we plan, Aliss headed back with the guardsman to the manor, leaving Vicar and me in this dungeon cell. I then linked with Vicar so that I would be able to talk to him and proceed to the next phase of this plan that I made. 

"Ehem! Do you hear me, Vicar?"

Vicar was surprised to hear a voice as he didn't realize that Aliss was giving me to him. He then realized that it was I who talking to me and started to reply to my question. 

"Ohh! It's you. Long time no talk eyy ring, I'm sorry for throwing you in the street.." 

I didn't think that the first thing he would say was to apologize to me, "It's okay because of you, I had some adventure." 

"Is that so what kind of..." Vicar suddenly falls to the ground while talking to me; it's because he lost a lot of blood. I could see that he was in a lot of pain now. 

There aren't any guards around here, is this Sir Allen idea so that Vicar could die in this dungeon cell. There must be something I can do to help him. I then remember that I should enable Immortal Mode so that Vicar would not die. 

-SYSTEM-

"Access Mode!" I say. 

-COMMAND DIDN'T EXIST-

I was shocked that the command doesn't exist, how could back then it exist. There must be something wrong with my system. I then open up my skills and talents menu; it all been reset. I began to panic and to confirm whether it's all true that all been reset, I open up my own stats.

-0 Abilities Points Added-

My stats were all become zero, and there are no abilities points given for me to add my stats. Is this mean I had become level 0. How did this happen? 

I then recalled back in the forest, after the fight with the Elder Banshee was over. I was asleep for five days, and before I enter the sleep state, I remember now that my system told it was resetting. It must be that as there no possible way to explain why it all become zero. 

My situation is now awful as without the Immortal Mode. Vicar could die.

"Wait a minute! Can I re-select the talent and skills... Open Talent Menu!"

-CHOOSE A TALENT-

-SELECT-

The last time I choose was the talent Enrage, and that was when I was with the Bronze Knight fighting the Giant Wasp. Even with my talent, we still could not beat it. This time I would choose the talent to Heal as it the only way to stop the bleeding. 

"Unlock Heal!"

>Heal (Unlocked)

"Save talents and close menu..." 

-SAVING-

-COMPLETE-

I immediately activate my talent Heal, and suddenly a holy light appears on top of Vicar. Vicar bleeding has stopped as he slowly opens up his eyes. 

"Are you okay?" I asked Vicar when I saw him open up his eyes. 

"What happens?"

Vicar asks me what happen, didn't he realize that he collapsed to the ground a few minutes ago because he lost a lot of blood. I then told him that he was lying unconscious in the background. I use my magic to heal the wounds that he had. 

Suddenly my system is automatically open up, and it loads the talent menu by itself, there I see something weird. My Heal talent was locked even though I had unlocked it earlier and should remain unlocked. I tried to unlock it once again, but my system didn't allow it was saying that it can't be unlocked.

-NON-UNLOCKABLE- 

I want to try out again, but Vicar asks me a question, so I need to close out my system. I then listen to what the problem; it was the question that he was going to ask before he fainted. Why did Aliss give me to him, I told him that I would help him escape this dungeon cell. 

Hearing my reason, Vicar refuses the offer. It shocks me that Vicar wanted to stay here; there must be a reason why he wanted to be here. It must be connected to why he was bleeding before, and Sir Allen might have told him something.

"Tell me! Why you don't want to leave here?"

"I can't..."

"Don't worry, I will not tell anyone, and besides I can't talk to anyone unless they are wearing me. So it will be safe telling me what had happened here."

Vicar still hesitated whether he wants to tell it with me, but I keep insisting that no matter what he will say to me, I would keep it for myself and will not tell anyone about it. It took a few tries, but finally, Vicar tells me what had happened when Sir Allen visited him in this dungeon cell. 

"If I tried to escape or tell the truth to the public, he will do something to Aliss."

In my thought, Sir Allen wouldn't dare to try something terrible with Aliss as she was Sir Allen, daughter, and he needs Aliss for the marriage to works. 

"Aren't you thinking it too much? There no way he would harm Aliss; she was his daughter after all."

"No, she wasn't his daughter..."

I can't believe what I had heard from Vicar's mouth that Aliss was not his daughter. "There's no way that Aliss is not his daughter."

"I know it's hard to believe, and so do I when I heard it from my mother."

"Let me ask this, who is Sir Allen then?"

"Where do I explain, it's kinda a long story or rather a long explanation..."

My mind was in puzzled. It's too much to go in my head thinking about who might Sir Allen be and what will happen to Aliss. I felt that it just a simple rejection and some other minor reason but it has become somewhat serious now. 

"Just tell me who is Sir Allen is and who is Aliss then?"

"You already know that Aliss was not his daughter; her real parents have already died."

"How did your mother know this? Is this the reason why she been kicked out?"

"I already told you that she been kicked out because of rejection, but my mother was not just a maid in that manor."

This start to make me more confused. 

"Wait a minute, is that means that your mother was Sir Allen lover?"

"You dumb ring, she is not..." 

"Then?"

"She works as a maid, but she also had another secret job in Steenswiss Household."

"What's your mother secret job then?"

"On second thought, how about I tell you from the beginning... If I told you like this, it just might confuse you more like I was when I hear it from my mother."

"I was already confused now, and I also want to know the story from the beginning as well."

Vicar then starts to explain everything from the beginning, the story began 19 years ago when Aliss was still one year old, and Vicar was five years old.
