Chereads / Vigilante System / Chapter 7 - Hunger

Chapter 7 - Hunger

[Dumbass]

"Oh please shut up, I don't want you to make things worse, just leave," Rian told the system.

[As you wish]

After saying that Rian was left alone once more since the system didn't appear in front of him again. As Rian paced back and forth in his cell alone for almost two hours, trying to avoid thinking about the fact that he had not eaten for a long time, his stomach ached. As a sign of desperation, Rian began chewing and biting his fingernails in hopes that they would satisfy his hunger and in the process of biting his fingernails, Rian's fingernail began to bleed. As he looks down at his bleeding finger, he realizes what he did to anger the prisoners.

"You were right, System, I am a dumbass," Rian whispered.

[A knight is coming your way]

In response, Rian pressed hard against his bleeding fingernail and stopped the bleeding. As soon as his finger stopped bleeding he heard the door to his cell open. After the door had opened, the knight tied Rian's hands together with a rope and guided him to where he would begin working.

The kitchen was the first place Rian went to start his work.

"After an hour, you will work here, and I will take you to the next job, understood?" The knight explained to Rian while untying his rope.

"I understand," Rian replied as the Knight left.

Well, if it isn't the spoiled kid, a familiar voice said

When Rian heard the familiar voice, he turned around to face it.

"It's great to meet you again, chef, and I apologize for my childish behavior during breakfast," Rian said respectfully with his head bowed.

"I have no reason to hold a grudge in a dungeon of all places, and the name is Marx, not Mister Chef," Marx told Rian.

"Mister Marx, what would you like me to do first?" Rian asked.

Marx hands Rian a mop and bucket. "While I do some food experiments, I need you to clean the floors." Marx instructs Rian.

"Understood," Rian replied.

As Rian begins to mop the floor something appears in front of Rian's eyes.

[Daily Quest Number 1

Objective: Make the floor shine

Rewards: 1 skill and 1 aspect

Warning: If you don't complete the quest and claim the rewards before midnight you will fail.]

With that Rian begins mopping the floor while Marx experiments with food in the back of the kitchen. Because the smell of Marx's cooking made Rian's stomach want to eat whatever smelled so good, he was having difficulty mopping the floor. With all the pain and struggle, Rian managed to clean the floor until it shined. After all that cleaning, Rian was exhausted and wanted to sit on the nearby wooden stool when he passed out of hunger after taking one step. A few moments later Marx walks out with a bowl of the finished product from his food experiment wanting Rian to try it but instead finds Rian on the ground passed out. Marx quickly places the bowl down and goes over to Rian to try and shake him awake. After a few minutes of shaking Rian begins to open his eyes.
