"I can create my kingdom!? I can become a king too!?"
Alexander was shocked after hearing how deep the matter about the system that he got from another god. Alcatraz was as excited as his son at the moment. After a few moments, he began to be worried about his son's future.
In the known history of the world of Terra, those people who acquired the system of a king were always persecuted by the exiting kingdoms. After all, they are the representation of the new rising power in the world.
"Yes, son. Unfortunately, the kingdom would not allow it! That's why you must keep this fact a secret from anyone!" he said to his son.
Even though Alexander was still a child, he decided to explain more the reasons why it must be kept as a secret. He explained it for a few tens of minutes until Alexander's child mind was able to understand the graveness of the situation.
"I understand, dad. What do we tell to people about my occupation, then?" asked Alexander after understanding the whole story.
"Here's what we are going to do. We will tell others that you also received the hunter job from the goddess. We will go to the capital so that people will not get suspicious so you better pack up. We will go first thing in the morning."
After hearing his father, Alexander made up his mind so he decided to sleep to get ready for their journey the next day.
After seeing his son's determined expression, Alcatraz exited his son's room while showing a hint of a smile on his face. Before closing the door, Alcatraz said to his son, "Good night, son."
"Good night, dad!"
Alexander slowly closed his eyes after hearing his father. Seeing that. Alcatraz decided to go on his way toward the room of him and his wife to call it a day.
As soon as Alcatraz closed the door, Alexander could not help but think about his current situation. Although he was very curious about his current situation, he decided not to badger about it to his dad because he wanted him not to worry.
'What do I do, now? It seems like I did something that will do something bad to my family," Alexander thought to himself as he looked toward the ceiling.
He continued thinking about that matter until he fell asleep due to his exhaustion.

As soon as the sun rose through the horizon, the birds began to chirp as they do their own thing in the morning. Alexander, who still has some drool on his face, was suddenly awakened by the songs of the birds.
"WHAT!? The sun is already up!? I better start preparing or else dad would kill me if I am late for our journey!" said Alexander.
Without wasting any time, he immediately went on his morning preparation. After doing his business for a few minutes, he came out of his room only to find his father impatiently waiting for him.
"Let's go. We are going to be late at this rate so you better prepare for a bumpy ride, son," said Alcatraz as soon as he came out.
Alexander was expecting his father to scold him but he was surprised when he did not. 'Father is always angry at me when I ever late in our journey but this time, he did not even wake me up or get angry at me. What's happening!?'
Alexander continued to ponder about it until his father noticed his expression.
'This kid is confused about me not scolding him, isn't he? Well, he will know soon.' Alcatraz thought to himself.
"Oh yeah, don't forget about your short sword, son. We will hunt some prey on our way so be ready."
Upon hearing his father, Alexander immediately went to his room to get the sword that the system had granted him. The moment he touched the sword, a notification from his newly acquired system suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
[You received a new quest from the god, Ratsel!]
'A mission!? I received a new mission already!? Well, let me see it!'
With just his thought, the details of his new quest suddenly appeared in front of him.
[ Second Quest!
~ As the King of the kingdom under the god, Ratsel, you need to have people work under you!
~ Recruit 3 people to your rank!
~ Reward: 10 free stats points
~ Deadline: One week
~ Penalty: Ten random stats will be taken away by the system]
"WHAT!? ONLY ONE WEEK!? Where do I find people for my kingdom!?" Alexander could not help but say upon seeing the notification.
Alexander's voice was so loud that even his family was alarmed by him.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING!?" asked Alcatraz as soon as he opened the door.
Even his mother and sister went to his room after Alcatraz. Seeing them, Alexander laughed very awkwardly because he realized that he was being loud about his new identity.
Alexander explained the whole thing to his parents. After listening to his son, Alcatraz could not help but pinch his son in his left arms.
"Son, I told you not to tell that to others! At this rate, they would hear your shout!" he whispered to his son.
A moment later, Hilda, Alexander's mother, decided to interfere by stopping Alcatraz pinch to their son. She said to him, "Okay, that's enough. The two of you better go now. You will not reach your destination at noon at this rate."
"Oh yes, we better go now, honey. After all, THAT PLACE only operates at a specific time so we will not able to reach it if we don't hurry. Let's go, Alexander!" said Alcatraz.
Alexander just followed his father's lead upon hearing him. He waved at his mother and sister as he goes to their rented carriage.
"See you later, mother, Zandra!" shouted Alexander as he walked toward the carriage.
"Goodbye, sweetheart! Don't wander away from your father, okay?" said Hilda as he waved back to her son.
Zandra did the same thing as her mother, she shouted toward Alexander, "Goodbye, big brother! Keep safe!"
