[A/N: Guys, I don't know what to tell you.
Webnovel is weird sometimes. I did, in fact comment the two Pictures for Blue, but the second one disappeared. It doesn't show up in my activities. So to remedy that nuisance, I will upload any picture of any MILF on my Patreon, so go check that out. They will be in the "MILF System Illustration" Collection.
The uploads will be Public, so....Free. Like this story.

(Sebastian's POV)
"I need that coat." I said to myself, my voice a whisper, "I know I will look a bit better than right now."
Yes. I have to have that coat.
But how do I get it?
Who are these guys? Are they good guys? Or are they bad guys?
They mentioned a camp they escaped. What does that mean?
Well, for one, there's obviously a Camp nearby. How near? No clue. But for sure, it's one of the Camps the System mentioned. Bandits, he said. And the Leader was crazy, hm? How crazy?
I have to think of something. If they're good guys, I can't just show up and beat them up. That's not how I roll. Even with all my drug antics, I never actually assaulted anyone without provocation. And even if I did, I am trying to be better. That was the whole point of my epiphany...
But that got me killed....when you think about it. If I had been high and on a trip, I would have been in my bathtub, drowning in the best drink known to man; The Doc. But I wasn't; I was on the way to rehab.
Wait.
No.
No time to think about such pointless shit like that.
That coat.
It has to be mine. I want it.
Need to think of something; some sort of plan to trick this guy into giving it to me.
I got it.
Wasting no time, I sneakily slipped back down to the ground level where the small camp was. I then quickly rushed to the opening and feigned a stumble.
"Ah!" I shouted out, "H-Help me!"
The two immediately looked at me in alarm; the tall one drew a knife in response as they both stood there, clearly alerted.
"Oi!" the short one said, "Hold it right there! Don't move any closer!!"
I stopped, clutching my left knee with one hand and holding the guitar's neck with the other, "H-Help me.....you have to help....a bear....a bear...."
"A bear?" The tall one said, "Shit, don't tell me that big one is nearby. What is it? Spit it out! Where is the bear?"
Oh, so there is a bear nearby? Thank goodness, I was thinking that asspull was gonna fail. I'm winging it at the moment.
I pointed behind me, "Somewhere in that direction." I said, "It attacked my camp.....a small one....it got my partner..."
"Shit." the short one, "That must suck. I did hear that the Great Brown One did get a taste for blood."
Great Brown One? Oh, I don't like the sound of that.
The tall one nodded, "Hm." He said, "Poor bastard, must've ran for his life."
"Yea." the short one said, "Shame."
I raised an eyebrow, "Shame?"
"Shame you ran all this way to get killed." The short one pulled out a knife, "Empty your pockets."
Oh, so they're thugs too?
Well, that makes this easier.
Time for a fight, I guess.
"Wait." I said as I stepped back, feigning fear, "What?"
The tall one stepped forward, "Hand over that weird-looking lute." He said, "Now!"
I shook my head, "You're crazy."
He rushed towards me and swiped his knife at me, and without thinking, I dodged back, feeling the pressure of the swing.
"Tch...!" He said, "Nimble...."
I stepped back and composed myself, holding my guitar in front of me, ready to play it, "What's your deal?!" I exclaimed, "I came for help and you attack me?!"
He tossed the knife between his hands, "This is Drahan, buddy." He said with a smirk, "You know that. Eat or be eaten."
"Geez." I said as I scowled, "You're a piece of shit."
"Such is life!" He said, "Now hand over that thing! I could sell it for a good amount of gold, never seen a lute like that."
"This ain't a lute, you asshole." I glared at him
I played a quick A-Minor Chord, the sound of the riff was heard throughout the air as a faint pressure released.
"Huh?" he stopped as he heard the sound, "What? This sound....."
I don't know how the electric sound was heard without it being connected to a speaker but I don't care; Magic is Magic.
I played an A Power Chord, same length as the previous one, and I felt the guitar slightly vibrate. I noticed that the headstock emitted a dark aura.
"Here we go." I said as I played a C Power Chord
A black orb formed on the headstock and I felt the power course through the guitar.
"Dark Orb"
"You're done now!!" I shouted with a smirk
I then felt as the orb fired straight to the left, which surprised me. I watched as it hit a nearby tree and caused an explosion.
I simply stood there, watching this with a bit of confusion. The two thugs stared at this as well, a bit perplexed.
"What?" I managed, "I have to aim it?"
The tall one looked at me, "What was that supposed to be?"
Dammit! I have to aim it! I'm so fucking stupid!
He rushed at me and thrust the knife at my face. I stepped to the side, avoiding it with surprising agility.
"Whoa...." I muttered as I stumbled and held my guitar still, "Okay...."
Three notes and I can activate Dark Orb. Which is a bit...tricky.....
But I can do it.
Three Notes and I can fire off a Dark Orb. I have already wasted 15 of my MP. 135 left. I can do this.
I take a deep breath, "Okay...."
I then noticed that the short one was out of line of sight, which worried me. But I couldn't think of that at the moment since the tall one was rushing me again.
"Three notes...." I muttered as I stood my ground
I quickly play the three cords; A-Minor, A-Power, C-Power. The moment I did this, I felt Dark Orb form, and before it could fire off, I aimed the headstock at him.
"Dark Orb"
The attack fires off and hits him square in the chest, causing a small explosion of darkness. He staggers back as he grunts in pain.
"Urghh...." He manages as his body is shrouded in a shadowy aura, his arms covered in dark purple markings, "What the..."
"You got hit with a Dark Bebuff!!" the short one appeared out of nowhere, from the right, "He's a Dark Sorcerer!"
"Oh fuck!" the Tall one said
The short one rushed at me with his knife, swinging at me with tremendous speed.
I stepped back and I felt as his knife grazed my shoulder, "Tch...."
I immediately composed myself and tilted my position for my left side faced him. Without wasting a moment, I played the same three chords again. This time, they were in a different order.
"C-Power, A-Minor, A-Power"
I did it so smoothly and fast enough for the short guy to not even notice it. Dark Orb charged up once again and I aimed it at him.
"Dark Orb"
The orb fired off, and he was able to dodge it, barely being grazed by it.
"Shit..." I said as the orb hit the ground behind him, exploding, "Dammit...."
"You fucking prick!!" the tall one said as he swung his knife at me
I jumped back, playing the three chords again and firing yet another Dark Orb at him in a panic. The Dark Orb hit him square in the face, exploding.
"Ughh....." he dropped to the ground, unconscious
"Dammit!!" the other one exclaimed, "Why did you rush so foolishly?"
I noticed a blue bar appearing in my line of sight.
[MP: 90/150]
"Shit...." I said as I wiped the sweat off my cheek
My shoulder was stinging, and the blood was dripping down my skin. It could have been worse.
The short one rushed me and I defensively played the three chords once again, this time in pure desperation to end the fight.
"A-Power, C-Power, A-Minor"
"Dark Orb"
The projectile hits him square in the chest and explodes, staggering him hard as he grunts in pain. His body was covered in the same shadowy aura as his buddy.
Without thinking, I rushed him and swung my guitar at him while holding it by the neck, like a baseball. The side hit him in the face, a loud crack being heard as he jerked backwards.
"Urgg-" His voice cut off as he hit the ground hard, his eyes whitened out
I panted slightly, feeling a bit of adrenaline, "W-Whoa...."
I looked to both of them, they were both out cold.
Seems I beat them.
They were quite weak, all things considered.
[MP: 75/150]
The blue bar with the numbers below it appeared once again, slowly dimming out of view as if the System knew I was out of combat.
"Hm...." I said as I composed my breath, "If I wasted half of my MP on these two thugs.....man, I don't know how I'll feel about fighting a whole Camp of Bandits....."
I looked at the tall one, seeing his black leather trench coat.
"Hm....." I said as a smirk formed, "Hehe...."
"Lookie what we have here."
