Chapter 3: Mercy

Jess couldn't believe what she saw; she couldn't believe that she of all people had to run into Gabriel the freak'n Warrior himself!

"Why is he here?!" she mentally screamed. "Of all people, it had to be that false hero!"

Now while Gabriel was not a hero, he is still a warrior. A warrior with a diamond longsword, combat experience, and wearing armor that is stronger than diamond.

Ivor told her about it because he's the one who made it.

----------

"So you made all of the armor that the Order of the Stone wears?!" Jess asked, amazed as Ivor smiled. Telling her stories inside her room as he prepped her medicine.

"Technically no, I did the research to create it, but they built it themselves." He replied. "I was more focused on knowledge and theory, than swords, explosives, or building."

"What about Ellegaard? She seems like the one who would go crazy to research knowledge like that." Said Jess.

It was then Ivor's smile turned into a disappointed frown. "She's only interested in redstone. Saying that what I was doing is impossible!" he shouted. "Such a hypocrite when it comes to impossibility since she creates new machines that no one thought was possible."

"But why did you create the armor in the first place?"

He just shook his head. "I just wanted to do something special for my friends. I was a real idiot for doing that." He said with a scowl. "While they complemented my work, they didn't thank me for it. And Ellegaard just pointed out the flaws, instead of appreciating my hard work! It took me months to make those!"

"Flaws?" Jess asked as Ivor let out a sigh. "Yes Jess, there is one flaw of the armor I made..."

----------

She shook her head of that memory. Who knew it would come in handy? She looked to see just in time for Gabriel to run up to her, pulling her away from her minions. "Are you okay? Did those monsters hurt you?" he asked, glancing at her missing arm, pointing his weapon at the armed monsters.

It was then Jess got an idea. "They tried to attack me!" she said with a fake fear. For her, it was easy to replicate it. She pulled out Conquest from her Inventory. "I was just trying to find a safe place for the night, reading my book, then those things attacked me!" she screamed with 'panic'.

"Please help me," Jess said with fake emotion. "I don't want to die!" she said, pretending to break down crying. The tears that dripped onto the floor were not of fear, but from the pain caused by Jess when she bit her own tongue on purpose.

"Don't worry mam, just get outside." Gabriel said, turning his attention to the monsters, determination in his eyes. "I will make sure you get out of this safely." He said heroically, resting his longsword on his shoulder. "These foul creatures will perish, for I am Gabriel the warrior!" he shouted a war cry, charging at her monsters. Believing that he's rescuing a damsel in distress.

It was the second Gabriel turned away from Jess, she opened Conquest, to the Party list. One thing that she could do was send mental messages to all members of the Party. As Gabriel started his heroic dialogue, she quickly, sent her Zombie, Hulk, a mental message to put all 40 of his stat points into DEX, bringing it up to 45.

She quickly had her skeleton, Bones, to split his 60 stat points, and put half into STR and the other into DEX, bringing them to 34 and 35 respectively. She mentally ordered her spider, Legs, to quickly climb up to the ceiling where he distributed his 50 points, increasing STR to 42 and his DEX to 27 as Gabriel finished his speech, charging at them.
