Chapter 5 - Mission

Mikhail looked at the notification in satisfaction as he already expected this much from his powerful system.

He wore a loose robe as he exited the room in hurry, behind him Sonia was walking silently, they passed by the hallway only to see a man that looked old but excuded a strong but controlled aura.

Their eyes locked into each other as the man's eyes light up a little looking at Mikhail that was now a grown up, behind him was several maids that looked newly recruited.

The old man was Sebastian the butler of the family he always accompanied him when he was very young,

Walking towards him with a professional smile, he greeted him with a bow.

"Good morning young master "

This man was very close to his original mother when she was alive, her mysterious death caused him to be depressed and furious for a long time, the fact that he lost her, a close friend that always treated him kindly with great care despite his lowly statut of being a commoner was painful, he was furious due to his helplessness to take revenge.

Mikhail didn't really care about them he felt a bit of sympathy but that's it, as he wasn't truly the one who experienced losing her.

He leaned his body slightly as a form of respect toward him as he said in a calm voice

"Good morning Sebestian"

To his surprise the old man didn't continue with is speech as he went on his way and left Mikhail, a little startled.

'It's okey...i'm the one weird here...I just need some time to adapt to their strange way of behaving '

He continued on his way as he looked from the window of the hallway, the sun started announcing its appearince to the world as showed itself slowly illuminating the gloomy world, he kept observing the sun as he found himself at the door of the dinning hall, he entered with a neutral look on his face without attracting any attention this time.

He ate slowly without embarrassing himself controlling his drooling saliva, his act though didn't saved him at all from receiving looks of disgust and scorn .

'I will go the training hall once i finish this meal to complete my quest ' He thought before swallowing whatever he had in his mouth.

Mikhail finished his meal and directly headed to the training hall after wearing a tight suit specifically designed for intense training .

That's what he thought he will do as he found himself in his room, his hand on his head as he complained.

'Damn why am I feeling so shy and embarrased' he said with a dark face.

As he read so many light novel in his past life about the the main character getting reborn in another world or going back in time and getting humiliated in public or being judged he thought it was easy to ignored them, juste like those protagonists.

Unfortunately the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at was torturous and unbearable.

The truth proved to be much harsher as he couldn't train in front of so many people, he imagined failing time and time again to do a push up or a pull up while being gazed and looked at by people, his face cringed as he cursed.

Even thought his little adventure and the fact that he came to this world increased his resolve and strengthened his will, he simply didn't have the courage as he wasn't a social person in his past life, he could get anxious just by being in the presence of people.

In fact the previous Mikhail could've done what Quint found difficult with ease.

'Who cares i will only run outside, even thought this room is quite huge it's not practical for running, I don't think it will be as embarrassing as doing push ups' He thought with hesitation.

...

Meanwhile Mikhail was sweating, his back was laying on the ground the ground motionless with an exhausted sigh he said '35'.

His feeble body couldn't do even a mere push up, he was helpless as he could only do a clumsy one and check the system every time to see of it was counted, as he completed 35 rep his body was truly tired .He couldn't move even a finger while looking at the ceiling as if observing something.

Curses ' I thought it was too easy but this damn body is really useless, did this guy have some illness his whole life or something'

Mikhail continued his training routine that consists of push up rest ,pull up rest....until he finished at 11:00 pm at night, his lunch was an already delivered by Sonia in the midst of his training as for Hera he mercilessly chased her out with the excuse of being sick .

He Summoned Sonia to his room as instructed her to bring him lunch.

The moment she entered and saw his state she expressed her concern as she said.

' Y-You really sure young master that this is the best method to get stronger what i see is just you torturing yourself, are you still guilty for what happened in the past maybe we can take the advice of sir Ricard"

"I SAID NOO ,don't make me repeat myself for the third time" he raised his voice as he said in irritation

"O-Okey , Im s-sorry young master " she stuttered as she lowered her head clearly knowing her grave mistake of questioning her master, which was a taboo.

After finishing his meal he dragged his body to the huge bed, he closed his eyes as his thoughts drifted 'At this rate I'm not to far from having the strength of a grown male' he thought as he felt his brain becoming sluggish eventually falling in deep sleep .

...

A week passed, Mikhail now can almost remember every detail which even his precedor wouldn't dare to say he remembered, from the the moment he was born till this day was engraved in his mind.

As he come to know the truth, a lot things that was bugging him recently were cleared the missing pieces of the puzzle were finally solved, his father attitude, the reason for the hate he's receiving , Ricard's disappointment and how he was left alone in the forest unprotected.

Without forgetting the reason for the success of their family and huge wealth, also other than some trival and useless memories he recalled having a best friend called Edward and some other friends, they all formed their circle, as it was it very important in this world to expand your influence and form connections.

His father loved his deceased mother dearly, till now Mikhail still have a perfectly drawn picture of Lisa his mother that used to have a midnight-black hair that flowed over her shoulders, a saccharine sweet lips. That were blossom soft, she wore an open necked black dress and on her hand was the same scarab ring that he wore.

His mother died a regretful death, fraught with mysteries, she was cursed by something omnious and terrifying that even the mighty Baignard family were hopeless against, one day while baby sitting him, she started muttering in some ancient and unknown language, for the first few days it was just some soft wishpering and that it, but as the time passed it became sometimes hysterical laugher till she lost her voice or crazy shouting while madly scratching her body trying to tear her flesh .

The time Gerold realized her problem was already too late as the curse rapidly consumed her vitality and sanity eventually taking her life.

Her end was truly tragic for an innocent and kind hearted women, he realised the cruelty of this world as his precedor was forced to mature early due to those circumstances.

His father also hated him, he didnt know why but he guessed that he believed his mother's death was related to his birth .

This was one of the reasons why he grew up as an outcast and was hated by everyone.

His step mother with her inferiority Complexe and petty personality could only vent her frasturation on him because of the lack of attention from his father .

His step siblings were brain washed by Ereka to hate him, there was also his threat as the first son of Gerold.

They schemed and colluded against him trying to find the smallest chance to get rid of him without suspicion, which they eventually did .

Anyways Mikhail found his situation very troublesome.His determination to became even stronger increased as he immediatly summoned the system.

"Damn you shitty system you consider this useless body a perfectly healthy body" He roared in his mind as veins produced from his neck.

'... It seems as if he is mocking me' he was speechless.

Mikhail was surprised by the increase of his intelligence he didn't expect it to became 11.

"Maybe it has something to do with the memories " he thought.

"Hey system can you explain to me how those stats function " he asked:

He eagerly absorbed those information as they proved to be precious .

The increase in his stat did prove to be an euphoric experience for Mikhail as he felt a mysterious energie constantly producing in his body slowly tempering and nurturing his muscles and his blood bumped furiously .

The transformation was taking place in his bed, after the process was finished he found that his body was sweating as the sheets and the blanket reeked of a horrible smell incamparably to that of the normal sweat.

Mikhail nearly vomited from the smell, as he noticed the black and sticky liquid filled with impurities fuse with sweat as he grimaced and run to the shower.

He took a long and extremely hot shower, as he exited the bathroom with reculance, his body and mind craving the soft collision with the cold ground and the rythmatic sound water droplets making contact with his naked body that became now a little bit stronger and energetic.

He reached the closet only to be met with numerous outfits to wear, he couldn't decide what to wear for breakfast as they were so many choices and combinations.In the end he sighed as he called his maid.

Sonia was looking at Mikhail with a flushed face, he wasn't wearing anything other than a small towel wrapped around his lower body .

With the increase in strength his complexe looked much more better, some lines found themselves on his skinny body, with his handsome and tall height he looked stunning almost perfect for the Sonia.

"Ah...Sonia can you please choose something for me from the closet "He startled the dazed girl awake as he said:

"Right away young master"She replied as she hurridely moved.

At that moment someone knocked in the door.
