Opening his eyes Mikhail looked at the fancy breakfast in front of him. He was dumbfounded at the sight of such lavish food.
"Young master, would you like to drink honey tea after breakfast?"
Hearing this Mikhail confirmed one thing that he was transmigrated and that also in an aristocratic family.
This was more than he could ask for, in his previous life he was dirt poor and to skip breakfast everyday, now he would finally know the joy of eating like a noble.
The butler who was standing by Mikhail's side, ready to serve anything he needed was perplexed by the sight of him wolfing down the food like a glutton.
He knew his master was a picky eater and would not even finish half of the food that was served.
Looking at the empty plate Mr Butler was overjoyed. Finally it seemed that his young master was changing a bit.
Completing his plate Mikhail asked for more.
"I am not full yet give another serving."
This sent shock waves through the servants as they saw the young master who would just drink all day have a normal meal, moreover he was asking for more.
The chef was overjoyed to hear this as readily started to prepare more servings for his young master.
After having a good meal Mikhail sat satisfied with a bulging tummy.
[Notification: The system has activated
Mission: Eat breakfast
Status: Completed
Reward: Good food would give your body a lot of nutrients]
Looking at the pop up screen in front of him Mikhail was speechless. It seems like in the protagonist 's novels he received a system but it seemed a little different.
"System, what is wrong with you? I have no complaints about the easy mission but what is up with the reward? It seems like no reward at all."
[Host the system is not some god that can provide the with gifts out of nothing]
"Then there is no point in your existence, delete yourself."
[Do not be arrogant host you don't know your situation
You are just a minor villain that would be taken out by the hero
You are nothing but a bug he can step on
You will need my help to survive]
"You mentioned a hero, system am I in a novel?"
[Yes in host's previous world there was a novel called "The Invincible Hero" which the host had most likely read before ]
"System that's too vague. I was a minimum wage worker who could enjoyed have novels, mangas and anime as entertainment.
I have read hundreds of not thousands of them, and now you want me to remember the plot of some novel that I might have read, who knows when and it is not even popular."
This time the system did not give a reply. Seeing this Mikhail didn't panic if he really was a villain who would come into conflict with the hero then would just have to lick the hero's shoes and beg for mercy.
As for the plot, maybe drinking tea would make him remember it.
Seeing his young master unresponsively sitting on the chair mumbling to himself made Adel concerned.
He had been serving as Mikhail's exclusive butler from the time he was 6.
Today all of a sudden his young master was acting all strange like never before.
'Should I report it to the lord?'
However Mikhail had no obligation to share his butler's concerns so he got up and left for his room.
"Young master, are you alright? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
"Adel I am totally fine and bring a book for me I would be in my room today."
"These words were not at all assuring to Adel, how could his young master who loved to drink all day and make trouble for the family lock himself up in his room like that."
Adel finally decided to report the issue to the lord now. He knew that the lord loved his son very much and any negligence in his duties was an unforgettable crime.
.....
Reaching his room Mikhail sat on the wide soft bed and started to check out his system.
He never imagined that he would have such a soft bed. He just wanted to lay down and read novels all day. This was also how he spent the recreational time he received after a hard day of work.
"System, what's the next mission?"
[Mission: Train with the sword
Status: incomplete
Reward: well built body and swordsmanship skills]
[Mission: improve the living conditions of the villagers
Status: incomplete
Reward: the villagers would see you in a positive light]
'Both sounds like a pain in the a$$.'
"System why don't you give missions like read 8 novels a day or eat a hearty dinner."
[Host the system is designed to help you accrue the essential skills that you would need]
Mikhail wanted to be a shut-in at the lord's mansion reading novels and eating delicious food everyday, he did not want to be some heaven defying extra in some third rate novel.
True to his orders Adel came to his room with a stack of books.
"Young master, these novels are popular among the noble circle."
"Yes, keep them on the bed and go."
Picking up one of the novels Mikhail laid flat on the bed and started reading like the otaku he is.
He was a bit sad that he was not transmigrated into a sci-fi world where he could watch high quality anime.
But beggars were never choosers so he was satisfied with whatever he got, as for the system's missions all of it fell into deaf ears.
At the same time in the lord's study, butler Adel was telling the lord the details of what had happened since morning.
The lord listened carefully to everything as a frown gradually formed on his face.
From the sound of it things did indeed feel off.
His son might make trouble sometimes when he was drunk but he really didn't care about it. Who was going to challenge his authority in his own land.
Count Dertain decided to have a talk with his rebellious son after dinner.
'He might be uncomfortable with speaking about his problems in public so it is best to have a one to one talk after dinner.'
Because of his work he would not be able to have quality time with his family.
Count also felt that it would be a great opportunity to spend time with his family after a long time.
Thinking about everyone in his family gathered together having a cheerful dinner did put a smile on his face.
"Abel informed everyone that today everyone would be having dinner together."
"Yes lord".
