Chapter 3 - Partner!

[ Master, Are you alright?]-System.Who is a small girl floating in the air? Erbus is staring at the girl in confusion. He nods his head and says"Umm...I am okay".He asks the girl in confusion for who she is. She spins around and while giving a pose she says that she is the great and almighty system.

He is hesitating to believe at what the little girl says and in distrust says [ Oh! I see. So, you are the system.] At hearing his words the little girl gets furious and she says [ If you don't, believe me, you can try opening your status.] At her suggestion, Erbus says' Status'. But his status does not appear. He turns to the little girl and says[ Why isn't my status opening?] She ignores him and turns around.

Erbus quickly thinks about what if she wasn't lying and was telling the truth? He slightly bows down and apologizes saying it was his fault and that he truly believes for what she said before. Her temper suddenly disappears and at once she flies towards him and sitting on his head she says[ Good, this is how you should act towards me. Even though you are my master you shouldn't look down on me. Because only I can make you stronger.]

Erbus giggles and as he starts walking out of the forest. He asks to the system with a serious face [Umm...System, I have never heard of any event where a system turns into a living being. And about the thing, you said earlier that you will make me stronger. What is all that about? ]

The little girl again starts floating. She floats in front of his head and as they are walking forward the little girl says with her hands showing the numbers [ First, My name is Emelia not system, Although practically I am a part of the system. Second, This is the first time a part of system i.e. me, has ever appeared in human form. And third, Yes I am the one who will help you grow stronger. I will give you the quests and when you will complete the quests I shall give you the rewards allocated for it. And fifth to make it clear, I will serve you from today by guiding you throughout your journey and provide you knowledge. Although I can't give you help you with your quests directly I can help you indirectly. ]

[ So that being said you will always be with me.] Erbus says clearing his doubts Emelia nods her head in the air while folding her arms.[ And what do you need to eat Erbus says. Emilia says that she can live without eating anything but she can eat too but it is not compulsory that she needs to eat.

Until they reach the black market of Omar city. At the market, he rents a room in an inn. And as soon as he enters the room he lies down on the bed. He starts remembering the conversation he had with Emelia when he was coming back from the forest.

( Emilia isn't the whole system but a part of the system. She was given the task of looking after him and making him stronger. She also has various functions as mentioned before the update. And her present body is a weak constitution that was empowered by a small fraction of her original mana. She also said that her original body is in the Realms of God. And later she started to blabber saying that the planet in which they were in had an impure and low amount of mana due to which she couldn't bring her own body and how she hated how small she looked.)

Tomorrow morning,

He wakes up when he hears knocking in his door. He jumps off the bed and wears his hood. And opens the door to find out a person carrying breakfast in his hand. The person without saying anything hands the breakfast to him and leaves. He carries his breakfast and closes the door. As soon as he finishes his breakfast 'Ding!' a quests pop up in front of him.

[ Quest- Kill 50 Slimes.

Rewards- 50 Exp and 10 Gold Coins.

Difficulty: Easy.

He reads the quest and remembers Emilia saying " Your quest will start from tomorrow."

He smiles and says to himself " It should be easy but why are the rewards so high?"

He thinks for a while and says" Fuck it! I will know when the time comes. Anyways, Let's get going!"

And he sets out for the hunt...
