The diner's door opened, Erin's father, mother, and brother entered the diner.
"Huh, where are your brothers?" The father asked his two daughters who were sitting alone. The sisters exchanged glances before replying.
"We even brought Tim here, where are they?" their mother asked, taking a seat in front of her daughters.
Tim was a small, skinny, elementary school student with pale expressions, dull expressions. No happiness, no sadness, just coldness and lack of empathy.
"I asked where are Edward and Finn?!" Mr. Heffley raised his voice after not receiving the answer to his question. Tim and Mrs. Heffley shivered.
"T- they are using the washroom." Without saying anything, Mr. Heffley took out towards the men's restroom.
"Really?" Mrs. Heffley asked leaning forward.
"No, mommy~ they are beating someone but we can't tell that to father," Erin replied.
"Ugh, those idiots are not back yet, we are in trouble now!" Sofy groaned as she crunched a piece of tissue in her hands and threw it down on the floor.
"They are not inside. Where are they?" he came back after looking in the restroom.
"M- must have been gone out to take fresh air,"
"Are you kidding me? Where do you think I came inside this diner?"
"I- I will call them," Sofy took out her phone, "They are not picking it up," she replied after the mobile rang a few times.
"Find them, and bring them back. We are not eating today unless you bring your brothers back!!" Mr. Heffley took a seat right next to his wife.
"Y- yes, father," They both got up from their seats and left the diner.

A refreshing feeling entered Ryan's mind and soul after drinking blood from the purple flask.
His HP had recovered fully, his blood level was not low either. The only thing in front of his eyes was a big tall figure marching towards him.
"Let's do it." Ryan clenched his fists, the red energy formed around his fists, 'All I gotta do is land a physical hit on him.' Ryan felt his heart beating hard in his chest.
His marching turned into big strides. Edward lifted his hand running towards Ryan. Ryan dodged his punch by ducking down.
A kick came, then another punch, again a kick. This continued till Edward finally landed a hit on Ryan's chest.
'F- fuck. That hurts!' Ryan coughed. He was not able to keep up with Edward's reflexes. Edward was faster than Ryan.
< A new Quest appeared >
< Quest ten: Defeat Edward Heffley a semi-S-grade master >
< unknown, random rewards will be added >
'Random? This never happened.' Ryan thought. All the quest rewards he gained were known to him, to the System. But this one said that unknown rewards will be added.
'Now I am curious. Still, he's a semi-S-Grade master. How the hell am I supposed to beat him?'
They are not the strongest Trait masters but they are considered pretty strong to deal with. Of course, with beast gear and weapons, none of this would be hard but right now, neither of them had a beast-tier weapon.
Edward bolted at Ryan, 'No!' Ryan was not ready for the instant speed up in his speed, Edward disappeared from his side and suddenly appeared in front of Ryan's eyes.
Ryan's eye widened up, a long pointed object was held right in front of his right eye, ready to pierce it anytime and Ryan will not be able to do anything about it.
It all happened so fast that Ryan didn't even have time to run or to dodge the upcoming attack, instead he prepared himself to take the hit.
But he saw something else in front of his eye instead of a kick or a punch. The long, pointed metal object scared the shit out of Ryan. he was in no position to dodge it.
"B- bro- brother!!" this loud scream from his younger brother Finn made Edward pause in between and look at him, "H- help me!!"
Ryan moved his head to his right, the only thing they saw there was blood flowing from Finn's body. It was all red around his thigh area and a knife stuck through his thigh.
In a flash, Doc was standing beside Edward with a knife in her hand, its tip touched Edward's brain.
"You dare hurt my Ryan, I will fucking kill you," Doc muttered in a deep and scary voice.
Edward felt a shiver run down his body when he saw his death in front of him. The metal object fell from his hand as he stepped back.
"Knife? From where?!" Ryan questioned.
"Dimensional void." Doc lifted the knife, pointing at Edward's forehead. His hands were raised in the air beside his head.
'T- thank god~' Ryan sighed. He was sure that with a knife in her hands, Edward would not dare fight back unless… he has the bulletproof badge.
But from the way his hands were trembling, it was sure that he didn't have the bulletproof badge with him. Ryan felt even more at ease.
'I won't have to fight that guy,' Ryan was feeling happy about the situation but suddenly, a thought bugged him.
'Wait- if I don't fight him, I can't defeat him, and if I can't defeat him--' The Quest he had received, 'Shit.' Ryan grit his teeth.
This was a bitter realization. For the first time, he didn't want to fight his opponent but also for the first time, he will fail his Quest.
He wanted the unknown, mysterious, random reward from the System but at the same time, he doesn't want to fight Edward. He was stuck in a difficult position.
"I want that reward!" Ryan muttered as he pulled himself off the ground, "I will beat him,"
"Huh? What are you saying? You don't have to fight him anymore!" Doc pushed him behind her.
"Pull down the knife, I will fight this motherfucker,"
"Don't! Control your anger, Ryan. we can't risk our lives here,"
"I will kill him," Ryan repeated. His rage was taking over his mind. He was losing his control over thinking and speaking.
"Throw the knife away."
"Come on. This is not the perfect time to be stubborn. Look, there's already someone with a bullet---' she stopped.
Ryan glanced at the spot where Finn lied a few seconds ago.
'He's gone. He's gone.. He will be back with something,' Ryan realized at once, 'Double rewards… hmm, sounds interesting.'
