Kurishima slowly opened his eyes to see an unfamiliar ceiling.
He slowly sat up with a bit of difficulty and noted that his body is currently bandage up making him look like a mummy. 'System, were am I?'
[Currently you, my idiotic host, used up all of your mana thus making you faint due to mana exhaustion. And before you asked me for other idiotic questions, you are in a city called Aizen and the population is currently 300,000 citizens and 5,000 soldiers along with the guards, you are also in a nobles house as a guest because you saved his daughter from the kobold attack as well.]
Kurishima was dazed by the sudden information but nodded anyway. 'By the way...when did I save a nobles daughter?'
[Apparently they were coincidently passing by when the boss attacked them but because of your battle with the elite the boss along with its minions went to your direction thus saving the nobles daughter.]
'What about the guardians?' Kurishima moved to the side of the bed before slowly standing up. He looks around for his clothes but it didn't take him long as it was neatly folded on a chair inside the room.
[All remaining 295 guardians are currently mended in the wall hiding and guarding 'your highness'.]
Kurishima froze on the spot at the sudden title. 'Why are you calling me your highness all of a sudden?'
[Apparently they mistaken you for a shadow elf royalty as they have similar skills of yours but inferior versions.]
Kurishima turned his hands to fist as he tried to suppress his ever growing headache. 'First the system is sentient and kept on calling me idiot and now their people mistaking me for a royalty.' Kurishima wanted to cry so hard but felt it was inappropriate.
[All so my idiotic host, the royalty of the Kingdom of Gaiza has also been informed and is currently on their way here.]
Kurishima Imagined his system smiling smugly at his misfortune but was quickly reprimanded by said system. [Oi! Idiotic host, stop daydreaming about my greatness and do your job!!!]
'WHO SAID I WAS DAYDREAMING ABOUT YOU!?!?!?!' Kurishima shouted in his mind as he almost gripped the armchair to splinters but noticable cracks on it.
Kurishima breath in and out trying to calm his heavily beating heart. 'For once I regret having this kind of system...but I'll make do with it anyways, System show me my rewards.'
[Finally, I thought I'd have to wait a few more days.]
Kurishima didn't know whether to cry or vomit blood at the attitude of the system before a sudden thought entered his mind. 'System...how long was I out?' Kurishima grabbed his clothes and began to wear them again noting that it smelled like flowers.
[You've been asleep for 5 days if it weren't for the mana exhaustion, you'd be as lazy as a sloth.] The system kept on complaining for a few more hours until it stopped when Kurishima wore his clothes and holding his scythe which was right next to the otherside of the bed.
[Anyway here's your reward:
Book of Necromancy
Book of Souls
300,000 Dp
New skill! | Void Strings |
??? Sword
Blessing of Ender
×3 Deathknight.]
'System, show me the skill |Void strings | Info.'
[ |Void Strings| as the name suggest you can create almost unnoticeable stings more thinner than spider silk anywhere on your body. Once the string is used against a being, the said beings mana pool and skills or spells will be forever sealed until you will it to return but you may also 'steal' the skill or spell of the said being no matter what race, level, or more.]
'THAT'S TOO OP!!!!' Kurishima almost puked blood from his mouth at the strength of the skill but kept his calm demeanor and held his slightly shaking hand. 'And what about the blessing?'
[ BLESSING OF ENDER
Due to the compatibility of you and the system, Ender Etheria the Met'rusia of the End has given you his blessing.
Due to not being higher leveled enough the skills that is with the blessing is sealed as of this moment.]
'What's my level anyway.'
[Your current level is at level: 21
Due to the mana exhaustion the Exp that came from the boss and its minions has been used to heal you and the remaining guardians.]
Kurishima contemplated with a finger on his chin while in thought. 'I see...is there anyone currently heading to my room?'
[What do you think am I? A security camera?]
'Just do it you crazy system!'
[Fine!.....there is currently none heading the direction of the room.]
'That wasn't hard now was it.?'
[Tsk.]
Kurishima smirked before he pulled out the Book of souls out of his inventory before a panel popped up. [Do you wish to learn the BOOK OF SOULS spells?] (Y/N)
Kurishima immediately pressed yes before he kneeled on the ground holding his head again due to the severe headache. "I forgot about this part..."
A panel appeared in front of him. [The skill |Soul Extraction| has been learned. The skill | Eternal Puppetry| has been learned. The spell | Demonic creation| has been learned.The skill |Spirit Golem creation| has been learned.
Due to not being high leveled the remaining spells and skills has been sealed.]
Kurishima smiled wryly but before he can do anything someone opened the door and a demi-human jackal entered the room.
Only one thing came from Kurishima's mind at that very moment. 'So....fluffy.' Kurishima's eyes sparkled lile stars as the sudden urged to pet him.
'I can't...but its so fluffy I want to touch it!' Kurishima who was too much busy on planning and fighting he had no time to explore on the different races, so it was very tempting for him to pet the beast-kin Jackal.
"Oh!" The Jackal had wide eyes staring at Kurishima before coming back to his senses and bowing. "Dear guest, you are awake please do sit down or the wounds will reopen."
Kurishima smiled and shook his head before opening his mouth. "There's no need for that and I already feel the wounds healing but if I may ask where am I exactly?" Kurishima pretended he didn't know where he was.
The jackal fixed his suit a little. Now that the jackal was in full view he was wearing a butler suit and a monocle while he held a towel on the other hand. "Well Dear Guest, you are currently in one of the largest cities of the Kingdom of Gaiza. But do you mind I ask of you a question?"
Kurishima looked directly at the beast-kin's eyes and nodded his head as sign to ask away. "Are you perhaps a Royal?"
Kurishima acted like he was surprised before faking a vigilant and tense action. The Jackal noticed and fixed his monocle and bowed again. "I apologize for surprising you but I was asked to find out about it from Marquese Velran Von Zenar but from your reaction I guess you are."
Kurishima waved his hand to push aside the tense atmosphere. "I am no longer a Royal, my kingdom was attacked by an unknown enemy but from the soldiers I killed my guess was they were demon-kin." Kurishima lied and gripped his hand tighter to further strengthen the act.
The Jackal eyes widen again before looking at the ground with his ears drooping. "I see....than forgive me for bringing up the subject." The jackal bowed again before standing up right and preparing to leave the room. "If you'll excuse me I must return to my duties as a the headbutler." The Jackal turned around and left the room leaving Kurishima.
Kurishima sighed heavily before facing the windom that was facing on the beautiful city and a garden just bellow the view. The building he was staying at was 4 stories high with his room at the 2 story floor. 'System, cam you open a panel where I can see the stats of my desthknights and their image?'
[As you wish 'your highness'...]
Kurishima held his gaze over the city noting that it was beautiful but his mission being to destroy it comes first. 'Hey, system is there a way to destroy the kingdom without inflicting damage to this or other cities to complete the mission?'
[you have gained +3 points to Intelligence!]
[Congrats host for finding out a loophole on the given mission...]
The systems tone was very serious and it made Kurishima be wary of it from the sudden change but shook his head thinking it was his imagination and bringing his gaze back to the panel that just appeared.
[DEATHKNIGHT ×3
Strength: 500
Dexterity: 500
Agility: 1,000
Vitality: ???
Intelligence: 500
Charm:____
Threat level: Code RED]
Kurishima nodded at his deathknights stats then looked at the 2nd panel that portrayed their look.
They had robes on like assassins hiding among the masses with dual swords on their back, daggers on their waist and torso, and hidden blades on the upper wrist covered by the sleeves. (Just imagine the Hassassins in the movie Prince of Persia.) Their face was not covered showing the barely visible pure black bones and their Red glowing eyes and the horns protruding on their head while the rest of the body is covered with the robe.
'If I order them to hide their face, they'll be misunderstood as my guards since they think I'm a royal so they are very useful in some cases I just need to make sure that we evade churches.' Kurishima nodded before he closed the panels.
Kurishima looked at the door again before nodding at his own decision. 'System, bring out the death knights and cover their face with a mask with no mouth or nose just the sockets and make them cover it with a layer if the black scarf they have.'
[So dramatic.... Points deducted for buying Mask of fear, Mask of wrath, and Mask of Envy.]
'EH!?'
