The young Elrik's blue eyes shone brightly.
His mouth couldn't help but open.
Since acquiring this strange ability that grants him missions and rewards, this was the first time he had received so many valuable items.
It all began about six months ago.
The Royal Guard of the Hyrule Kingdom came to Hatelia Village to recruit young people.
Unfortunately, Elrik was completely defeated by a child his own age.
He was a little upset—after all, he was a kid with no battle preparation. How could he be rejected simply for losing a fight?
What about the other aspects? The other tests?
How could they know if he had talent in strategy, or if he excelled in any other area that could benefit the kingdom?
Elrik watched the opportunity of a lifetime vanish before his eyes.
After all, the perks of joining the Royal Guard were well-known.
Moreover, his father had also worked for the kingdom, and Elrik naturally wanted to follow in his footsteps.
Disappointed, Elrik considered the Hyrule Imperial family a joke.
Complete incompetents.
After a night of muttering and cursing, a blue screen materialized before his eyes in the middle of his insomnia, telling him he had been chosen as a system bearer.
Not understanding its meaning, Elrik simply saw it as a kind of sacred power.
And although he was a bit skeptical at first, after seeing the so-called welcome gift, he couldn't help but believe in it completely.
A beautiful wooden bow with golden engravings.
[Light Bow]
Description: Its shaft is made of white wood from the Ancient Deku Tree, with topaz inlays that shine like stars. Its string is made from Farore's hair, and each arrow leaves a luminous trail that persists for seconds.
Note: Its true power is currently sealed; you will need to unlock it as you grow stronger. Don't underestimate it, though, because it can rival the real Light Bow crafted by the goddess herself.
Elrik had never seen such a beautiful bow.
The next day, fearing it was all a dream, Elrik took the bow. Feeling its smoothness confirmed that it was real.
Quickly, he cleaned himself and went into the forest to test his new weapon.
...
Time passed.
Six months later, he impulsively accepted a hunting mission given by the system:
Kill a Centaleon.
It should be noted that a Centaleon is a terrifying creature, more commonly known as a Lynel.
It combines the raw brute strength of a Hinox with the agility of a centaur, making it a formidable enemy.
The most frightening part: it stands between 4 and 6 meters tall.
To challenge himself, Elrik bravely took on the mission.
....
(Current time)
"Damn, I have to go back. Mom's going to get mad again."
Recalling his mother's last scolding, Elrik shivered slightly and quickly got up.
He dragged the huge corpse toward his secret hideout to dissect it; he couldn't waste a thing. Even its blood was worth a good amount of rupees.
..…
Upon arriving home, Elrik surprised his family again with dinner.
A bag filled with lively radishes, fish, squash, carrots, Centaleon meat, butter, and milk for his siblings.
Since acquiring this mysterious power, the family had been enjoying lavish dinners thanks to Elrik.
Although none of them knew the truth. Elrik had only explained that he was training hard and that both he and the family needed to improve their way of life.
His family was abundant.
Being the eldest of five siblings: three girls and two boys, all between 3–4 years old.
His father had died in service to the kingdom a few years ago, leaving his mother a widow.
Now that Elrik had the chance to change his life, he naturally would not forget his family.
Seeing the table, which had become a tradition to wait for Elrik before starting dinner, his mother was left speechless.
