Chapter 10

I stared at the white text for a moment until I was certain that nobody else could see it. Then it vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

I remembered Tala telling me about the color of her mana, and how the text above her ring had been red to match it. That must mean this Mist Hare Eidolon had white mana.

Which was yet another weird reminder of how similar this world was with games I had played in the past, and I wished I could meet the hare to see how her personality differed from my own eidolon.

“Take it,” Hoppy said gently, and I realized I still just had one hand on the weapon.

The man’s eyes glinted with a secret kind of excitement, and I suddenly appreciated how subtle he’d been about all this.

He’d given no indication to anyone around us that I was a man who might appreciate a weapon tied to an eidolon.

I nodded slightly, quickly took the crossbow, and admired the glistening silver from each angle. It couldn’t have been made of pure silver like we had on Earth because the weight didn’t check out to me, but there was a beautiful symbol etched onto the bottom side of the weapon, and I knew instantly it must be the sign of the Mist Hare Eidolon. It was a set of jagged lines encased in a triangle with tiny dots all around it.

But why had the message appeared when I didn’t possess that eidolon? Was I supposed to just collect as many eidolon-related items as possible?

I had assumed the very first message had been something all adventurers saw when they came into contact with one of the rings, but maybe this whole world really was like a video game. Maybe I was supposed to gradually advance from one level to the next, one eidolon to another.

I didn’t understand how this crossbow could be linked to an eidolon, either. Was the spirit in question supposed to use it somehow? The image of a ghostly rabbit firing a crossbow seemed too wild to even consider, but then again, this world was fucking wild in so many ways.

I had so many questions for Tala, but I decided I wanted to keep this crossbow until I had the answers. Even without the mysterious message, it was still a badass weapon.

“You’ve got yourself a deal.” I grinned as I admired the amethysts on the crossbow. “I assume you’re providing bolts, too?”

A rush of what felt like pride came from Tala, and it was so intense that I almost dropped the weapon from surprise.

“Of course,” Hoppy chuckled as he grabbed a leather quiver. “Ten of them that were originally crafted for the weapon.”

He handed me the quiver, along with a harness for carrying the crossbow, and then slid the pouch toward me as well. Mack eagerly patted me on the back while I hefted everything away into my pack. I felt on top of the fucking world after successfully selling the mistcoal that I had fought for my life to get.
