A Journey That Changed The World

Chapter 534 Kindness, Love, And Support

He was getting ready when his door flew open and crashed into the wall, which made him jump.

Archer turned toward the source and saw his older brother Billy, who had a big smile as he walked toward him.

The older boy wrapped his arm around Archer’s shoulders and started teasing him with a twinkle in his eyes. “Hey, little bro, heard you’re taking Alexa out on a supervised date tonight.”

He couldn’t help but blush, his cheeks turning a shade of crimson before stammering out. “Come on, Billy, it’s not like that.”

But, relentless as always, Billy leaned in with a wide grin and spoke. “When you two get married, I call dibs on being the best man. I’ve got to ensure you don’t mess it up, right?”

Archer’s embarrassment rose, and he muttered, “It’s just a supervised date. Let’s not jump to conclusions.”

Billy’s laughter erupted and bounced off the walls. Just as the laughter peaked, Amelia, Alexa’s older sister, walked in, ready to catch the comedy show in action.

As she took in the scene, Amelia couldn’t contain her giggles at the sight of Archer, whose face had turned a shade rivaled by tomatoes.

“Well, well, what do we have here?” The older girl quipped, her amusement shining through, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

When Archer heard her, he knew the teasing would worsen as Amelia was Billy’s girlfriend, and both enjoyed it.

He thought to himself. ‘Here we go again.’

Archer looked away from the green-eyed girl, but she got involved with a giggle. With a playful smirk, she said, “Archer, my brother-in-law, I’ve been hearing some juicy gossip lately.”

He looked up with a puzzled expression on his face. “Gossip? What are you talking about now, Amelia?”

The brown-haired girl leaned in and spoke with a teasing tone. “Oh, you know, the whispers in the family grapevine. The talk about you and Alexa.”

Archer blushed, attempting to play it cool. “We are just good friends.”

Amelia raised an eyebrow, not buying into the act. “Come on, boy, you can drop the charade. It’s obvious you love my baby sister.”

He stammered, “I… well, we’re very close.”

She chuckled knowingly before speaking. “Close, huh? I’ve seen the way you look at each other. It’s like a rom-com in the making.”

Archer tried to deflect as he got ready, “We’re not dating. Seriously.”

Amelia crossed her arms with an amused grin. “Sure, you’re not. But you might want to break it to our parents, they’re already picking out wedding venues in their minds. You two are practically an item in all but name.”

His eyes widened in disbelief. “They’re planning a wedding?”

She winked at him with a grin. “Well, when you two decide to make it official, remember I called it first. I’ll be expecting an invite to the wedding of the century.”

After speaking, she sauntered out of the room, leaving Archer bewildered. Billy laughed until he followed her. ”See you later, little bro. Enjoy your date.”

Archer smiled before he finished getting ready and picked up his jacket. Once he put it on, he started walking out of his room.

Walking down the stairs, he spotted his mom and dad in the kitchen. At that moment, he quietly stood in the doorway.

His mother, the definition of a perfect wife, was cooking their lunch on the stove, her laughter echoing through the room.

Her blue eyes, still bright and filled with the spark of youthful love, met those of her husband as he lovingly chopped vegetables beside her.

Archer’s father, a pillar of strength for the family softened by the years, stole glances at his wife as if admiring a masterpiece. Together, they moved in seamless harmony.

A dance of chopping, stirring, and the occasional shared taste test spoke volumes about the joy they found in each other’s presence.

The air was infused with the tantalizing aroma of the meal they were preparing and the tangible love that had seasoned their years together.

Archer couldn’t help but smile at the love he saw between his parents. His mother squeezed his father’s hand, saying more without words.

His father then kissed her forehead gently while passing her a utensil. Their laughter filled the kitchen like a familiar melody.

Archer stood by the doorway, watching his parents, a deep admiration filling his chest. How his father treated his mother had left a mark on him.

He wanted to treat Alexa the same way so he could always see her smile, but he stopped thinking and started walking.

But before he left, he called out. “Bye, Mom, Dad.”

His mother, Michelle, turned around, and a big smile appeared before she walked over and hugged him tightly as she kissed his forehead and whispered. “Take care, my baby boy.”

Feeling warm and loved in the hug, Archer made a promise. He vowed to treat Alexa just like his father treated his mother—

with kindness, love, and support.

Archer made his way toward the door. However, fate had other plans. Just as he reached for the doorknob, his foot caught on the edge of the rug, sending him tumbling forward.

With an awkward thud, he hit the floor, momentarily stunned. As he slowly opened his eyes, expecting to see the familiar surroundings of his home, confusion set in.

Instead, he returned to the dark chamber and remembered what happened. Archer sat up and went to rub his eyes but realized he only had one arm again.

Archer sighed and looked around the chamber. He soon spotted Llyniel and Nala sleeping close by.

He felt the mana blocking the chamber entrances, yet he could also sense the creatures lingering beyond those barriers.

Once Archer studied his surroundings, he stood up and stretched his body, causing his back to click, which relieved his achy body.

‘That explains why I care so much for the girls when other people treat their wives life objects.’ Archer thought to himself as he smiled.

As he stood there, he felt the mana struggling to travel around his body, which caused his brows to scrunch up. .

Archer cast Aurora Healing on himself, but nothing worked, so he continued to cast it until some weird black sludge was pushed out of his open wounds.

It splattered onto the ground, igniting the dirt and sending shivers down his spine. Suddenly, he sensed a surge in the world’s mana.

When it did that, his body started to heal with the less serious wounds healing while he saw the arm slowly regrowing.

He felt his Regeneration kicking in, and this time, it worked overtime as his body felt better and his horns regrew. He took a deep breath and focused on the mana within him.

Archer forced the mana to flow through his body, directing it toward the missing limb, testing if he could heal it using the very essence of mana itself.

As he concentrated, a faint glow enveloped him. Archer could feel the mana working magic, knitting together tissues and regenerating bone.

The process was surprisingly rapid, and he watched in awe as his arm started to regrow before his eyes.

Within moments, what was once a stump was now a fully regenerated arm.Archer flexed his fingers, testing the newfound strength.

A triumphant smile spread across his face as he marveled at the effectiveness of his mana manipulation.

Once completely healed, Archer couldn’t help but laugh. The power to regenerate his body using mana was a revelation, and confidence coursed through him.

In a playful gesture, he reached into his Item Box and pulled out a meat wrap. Archer chuckled as he approached the first barrier and noticed it was made from nature magic.

He smiled while turning to the sleeping wood elf before replacing the barrier with Cosmic Shield so he could cast spells through it.

Once the shield was activated, he used Anti-Magic on Llyniel’s wall, causing it to vanish. The ghouls rushed forward and collided with the new barrier.

When Archer saw this, he chuckled before taking a deep breath and letting out a burning stream of violet dragon fire down the first tunnel.

His flames reduced every creature to ash, scorching the stone walls in their path. Against the onslaught, they stood no chance as he effortlessly cleared the way.

After dealing with the first tunnel, he repeated the process on the other two, clearing the way for them to continue.

Archer used Mana Manipulation to create a chair next to the sleeping girls and sat down to relax. He put his chin on his hand as he watched them.

Nala had a worried look on her face, while Llyniel shared the same look. While looking at the two, he cast Aurora Healing on them, ensuring they were okay.

A bright light washed over the two, causing Nala to smile as she curled up in the sheets she somehow had.
