Warlock of War: My Ares System

"It was *cough* an honor to lose to you… *cough*... World Tower Master,"

…

(Orion POV)

After about of waiting and waiting and working and working… the army had finally come back with the general looking as cool as ever.

He immediately called us over to our tent just before the party of celebration was about to commence as we were so close to winning now.

In fact, the opposing side might even surrender before we can make our next move.

"I have some things for you… And wow, I didn't realize it before, but you all are pretty damn strong. So young yet so full of energy… how I miss my youth," The general said as he wiped a non-existent tear away and opened a large sack of items.

"Aren't you in your late twenties?" Bella asked.

"Fufufu… Do I really look that young? What a grand compliment… Nope, in fact, I am about one hundred years old. I stopped counting after seventy, so this is just a rough estimate,"

Everybody's jaws dropped, including mine, because I seriously thought he was only just a bit older than us… but was, in fact, an old man.

"How the hell do you look so young then?" Aisa asked, desperate for his secret to keeping his youthful appearance.

"When you reach a certain class, your body stops aging, but your heart only slows down greatly. It's a bit weird, but that does I mean can still die from old age… though it would be far in the future," The man smirked before taking out six golden pills and handing them to us.

"What are these?" Cy asked as he licked it a couple of times.

"Stop licking it, and these are some pills that will boost your vitality and shit. Essentially, you'll get a boost in power,"

"Ah, okay," Cy responded before popping the pill in his mouth.

We all did the same, and as we swallowed them, we opened our status, hoping to see a beautiful and grand change.

"That's… pretty fucking good," I muttered with a large smile as everything had risen by five, including my stamina which was the lowest stat that I currently had.

Nothing else seemed to be affected, but I was content with this, so I just continued to receive some of the things the general had brought for us.

"Wait, how come it's only us. Aren't you gonna give some other things to your friends and comrades and whatnot," Aisa said before happily receiving what looked to be a magic combat knife.

"Yeah, I have some things for them, but I want to get on your good side as I have a favor I would like to ask later on,"

We were all a bit surprised by how much the general had admitted his likeliness towards us as he always seemed to be this stoic and powerful dude… but now he looked more normal than ever as he handed us presents.

It was like an early birthday where your parents would hand you tons of gifts… though I never really experienced that, but that should be how it's like normally.

"Thanks," Luna said before turning around and crouching down to the ground.

We all understood her feelings, so as she began to break down in tears, we tried to hold back everything that had been building up.

"W-What's wrong?" The general stuttered as his words left his mouth, worried if he had done anything wrong.

"N-Nobody has ever done something like this for me," Luna sniffled as she wiped away her tears and stormed up to me, grabbing my collar.

"What?" I smirked as I was the one who felt the least towards this event.

Unlike the people around me who were neglected or had a rough childhood, I never experienced most of it, so I could barely relate.

Though, if I said I didn't want to experience this with my own mother… that would be a lie.

"You better not tell anybody about this… Asshole!" Luna shouted before pushing me back.

"You know me too well," I muttered.

The strange and foreign air leaking from the tent we were in was enough to get the party going as bursts of joy erupted deep from within everybody's souls.

The war was practically over, and now that they had absolutely no manpower, their only choice was to retreat or to surrender… and of course, they'll retreat, but why aren't we doing anything about that?

After everybody had received their gifts with a large smile and drool practically dripping from the sides of their mouths, I asked the general a few questions.

"Sir, how come we aren't going to intercept their retreat? Don't tell me you think they're going to surrender…."

"I sent somebody there to clean everything up. He's a trusty man and has never failed an assassination mission, so don't worry. We can party as long as we want,"

"Ummmm… Okay, well, as long as he is strong. I also have one more question: What do you think of this pill?" I asked the general while holding out the blood-red pill I had yet to swallow.

His face suddenly shifted into a wary one, and as he reached out his hand to grab it, I pulled my hand back.

"Give it to me. That thing is unsafe and shouldn't be used,"

"Tell me what that means. Come on. You have to give me some flesh to that answer; otherwise, I won't even consider it,"
