«!! Threat Detected !!»
He heard the system's voice and a notification window popped up.
«A hostile intention is detected towards the Host. It is suggested to evacuate the area.»
«Compulsory Quest — Save your life»
«Reward — 1000 FP»
«Penalty — Death»
....
....
Looking at the screen, he felt the hairs on his body stand up as the bar of soap slipped out of his hand.
And he asked in a trembling voice.
"Y..You ...m..mean, ..m...m..my life... i..is in ..d..dan...danger?"
«Yes.» he heard the system's sweet and pleasant voice.fre ewebno vel.com
When he thought that everything was back on the right track, he had a bad day. But who could have thought it would deteriorate to this extent?
'Damn it! Give me more information. Who is after me? When will it happen? Answer me!' he asked in a desperate manner.
«No information available. Since Host has not reached Lv 10, the First layer of Ancient Manual, the system feels the need to notify the Host of any incoming danger until Host reaches Lv 10. After that Host has to figure his own way out.»
'You!...y..you still call yourself a system, who can save humanity?' he asked as veins appeared on his face.
«Yes»
Hearing the sweet and pleasant voice, he couldn't help but let out a barrage of curses.
"Damn!"
"Damn!"
"Damn it. Isn't this just a dumb A.I., who only knows how to praise itself? Isn't it too weak to save the world?"
"That old Man, If I survive this day, I will definitely kick his ass one day."
...
Cursing his luck, he got out of his bathtub in a hurry and slipped on the bar of soap.
Thud!
"Ah!, it hurts". he felt the impact as his body hit the tiles of the bathroom.
Realising the circumstances, he got up ignoring the pain. After donning his clothes, he rushed towards Uncle Rolv's room to find him.
With his parents gone, he was the only person he can depend upon. His father has always treated him as family instead of a servant.
When he reached the door to Uncle Rolv's room, he heard his voice, "Yes, the little girl turned out to be a variant, But those two were too fast. ...Yes, they took the girl with them to the capital.....But they left the boy, trusting me, since his graduation ceremony is in a few months....Yes, we can kill the kid to lure them out....Even if we can't get the child, those two themselves are a big deal....Hm..."
he froze and the hairs on his body rose. A chill ran down his spine as he heard the word 'kill.'
As he started to lose his calm, he felt a cool stream of air flow in his head and the panic disappeared.
Realising his dire circumstances, he decided to get out of that place.
he quietly moved without making a noise, planned to sneak out the house.
Ahh!
A squeak escaped his mouth as an alert appeared before his eyes.
«Skill « Calm Mind» has just been activated.»
«Host's Heart Rate: 80 bpm»
"Who's there?" he heard Rolv's voice, which seemed to be sinister after he discovered his true face.
Without giving it much of a thought, he activated his only self created skill, «Sprint» and dashed out of the servants quarter, while cursing at the system 'Damn it, you useless thing. if I die today and Humanity is destroyed, it's all your fault. Remember it!'
«Reporting to Host, with Host's current attitude and lifestyle, the chances of Host defeating the Heavenly Demon is 0%»
'Shut up! and please stop messing with my emotions. If I survive, I will definitely make you eat your words.'
Getting out of the main entrance, he heard a familiar voice "So I guess you heard everything. It will be better for you to submit without much of a struggle. I promise to give you an easy death. But if you struggle, don't blame me for dying without a full corpse." He said with an evil grin.
Looking back, he saw Rolv levitating a few inches above the ground. He remembered his father saying he was a wind element mage. Seeing his face, Max felt as if his instincts were yelling, 'Run.'
Without giving any attention to his crap, he ran for his life.
he never thought that his sweet looking uncle could make up such a face.
"Ha..ha.. so you decided to die without a full corpse. Interesting, now I am really looking forward to it."
he heard the bastard's voice behind him, catching up to him. He ran even faster, feeling his body go beyond its limit as he heard an alert.
«Detecting the Host's dire circumstances, the System has activated the skill «God's Blessing.»
«Host will receive an increase in his stats between 10-30%.»
.....
«An increase of 30% in stats confirmed.»
Yes! Full on 30, system, I love you, you're the best.
....
"How would your father, that bastard, react to seeing your corpse? I can't help but get excited at the very thought of it, ha...ha..ha...." he heard that bastard's voice again.
Suddenly he felt his laughter getting closer and closer.
Feeling my end drawing near, he couldn't help but curse at that bastard as he ran, "You piece of shit, this is how you pay us for treating you as a family all these years. Can you even call yourself a human? You are nothing but a scum who is so fearful of my father that he doesn't even dare to face him head on. And not to mention facing him head on, you even go so low as to target his son. Can you even call yourself a man after that? No, wait! don't tell me you don't have it -".
Before he could speak any further, he felt a strong gust of wind hit his back.
Crack!
He heard a cracking sound as he flew over the nearby wall and entered a house, shattering its window glass.
Lying on the ground, he twitched in pain as blood oozed out of his broken skin. He found a glass shard pierced his left leg and the floor dyed in red.
he saw him enter through the window with a face flushed red and veins popping out of it.
"You have got a toxic tongue, brat. Don't worry, I won't let you die until you beg for it yourself." He spoke as a disgusting smile stretched out on his face.
"Yeah! you were saying something about being treated as family. You really expect me to take that shit? That day, when I was powerless, your father took advantage of my weakness and made me your family's slave. But now, I know longer need to worry about it. They promised me, as long as I can lure your parents out, they will give me enough power to kill your father. After that, I will kill each of those old bastards of the association, ha..ha.." he saw him go crazy as his eyes lose all light in his hatred.
He stared at him with those eyes of his and even at the end of his life, he couldn't feel any hatred for that Man, but only pity.
What kind of life did he live for him to lose himself in his hatred?
He closed his eyes, accepted his fate, even though he was supposed to go against that. But even after a while, nothing happened.
And then, he heard a sweet and pleasant voice.
