Chapter 59: The Whimsical System
Beep.
; ;| System notice, Congratulations Host for Binding the Whimsical System. Your Actions of Selfishly Drinking the “Water of Life” which was a great treasure that could extend the life of a dying person, Just to save Your Nuts Has touched the System. Warning: This system is whimsical and its missions are too. However, it will help you on your path to greatness. |
Tom who had read many novels knew what this was. Isn’t this the stupid plot device those authors use to give the protagonist a proposal and to drive the plot?
“How could it be real,” he thought
; ;| System notice, Of course, I am real, isn’t the world becoming like a game? |
The system answered his question.
Can you read my thoughts? Tom asked
; ;| System notice, We are connected by the soul. Your survival and mine are the same. Our thoughts are connected so you don’t need to talk to let me hear you. |
Tom looked at his friends who were looking at him strangely and wanted to say something but the system threw a massage at him.
; ;| System notice, Keep the existence of the system a secret or you would be punished. |
| System notice, #2 Critical Mission #1 Unfair Trade Go to the secret chamber shown on the map, dig beneath the red rock, take the treasure and bury the chalice in its place. Rewards. The flaming sword In case of failure, the host would lose all his abilities as a man. |
With that a map of the dungeon appeared in Tom’s vision, He needed an hour to reach that chamber. “This doesn’t make sense”. He thought, “Why do I need to follow its command? I…” he Thought again, but stopped the next moment as he felt the pain he had just been cured of returning slowly.
; ;| An annoyed System notice, The system felt that the host was not complying with the mission. Considering whether to administer a light punishment. 10 9 8 7 6... |
Tom’s face turned white, he didn’t want to feel that pain ever again. He didn’t wait and quickly ran out of the room, heading to the secret chamber on the map while shouting some excuse to his friends. He felt a little relief as the feeling of pain disappeared. He wanted to curse at the system but he didn’t dare to.
He had no time to waste as that chamber was too far.
After a while, the system threw him another massage.
; ;| System notice, You must understand, The system is doing this for your own benefits |
| System notice, #2 The system has detected an unusual interest in twin girls… The system has detected an unusual interest in a beautiful girl… The System had just found that those girls are very hot. |
Then the system went silent making Tom who was running feel strange. What a Whimsical System indeed.
After about five minutes Tom heard a beep again. What now? He thought.
; ;| System notice, The system has analyzed the footage of the girls in the host's memory and found out that they are no longer virgins and seem to enjoy some kind of a perverted play with the man with purple hair. |
“That can’t be true.” thought Tom. But the system didn’t respond.
“Can the system Tell me what family does that man belongs to?” He asked the system.
; ;| System notice, Not enough whimsical points were found…. The whimsical system being whimsical had decided to answer the Host’s question Victor VON WEISE, elite member. |
“Shit,” thought Tom, He will not be able to do anything to Victor or Lily for now, as the Von Weise was one of the strongest families. He didn’t want to anger them by hurting an elite member.
; ;| System notice, The host has no reason for despair as he would one day tremble all those families with the help of the system. |
“Does the sytem have nay Information about a person named Nova Von Astrom” Tom tried a different question.
; ;| System notice, Not enough whimsical points…. Try later when you have more points. |
Tom then tried to ask the system some other questions But the system responded the same. that he needed more points for the answer and he had 0 points now.
But he suddenly thought of a different question.
“How can I get rid of you?” He asked without expecting an answer. But to his surprise, the system responded.
; ;| System notice, The whimsical system does not like the tone of your question, however, due to its whimsical nature, it will give you a reply… The system can be removed if the Host has more Authority than the system. Warning : The removal of the system may lead to its demise. |
“That makes sense,” thought Tom as he decided to focus on raising his Authority so that one day he would show this system who is the boss.
He asked the system about it’s authority, but it replied that it was confidential.
"Damn it" He thought.
It took Tom, 15 minutes to get to the secret room using all his speed. He was gasping for breath when he found the red rock, and indeed, after some digging there was a flaming sword buried shallowly there.
; ;| System notice, FLAMING SWORD, A RANK EQUIPMENT. Can inflict Burning Damage. |
| System notice, #2 5.00 Minutes Until the closing of the dungeon. Bury the chalice or fail the mission and lose your manhood. |
Tom who was smiling didn’t hesitate and quickly buried the chalice.
After discovering the sword he began to believe the system. He could feel the sword’s power as he swung it around with delight.
“This system may be a little Whimsical, but it was not bad at all. Every protagonist needed an assistant after all” Tom thought as the world around him slowly turned black. The dungeon was closing.
; ;| System notice, Congratulations on completing your first Mission. 1 Whimsical point added. The system will now shut down for maintenance and integration. The process would take a few hours. System OUT… |
Tom looked at it and didn’t care, he would not need it for now. But with it, he was ready to begin his journey for greatness. “Nova, wait for me. When I find you, there would be a home full of sisters waiting for you.” he thought.
; ;| Goblins Killed 100/500 Reward 10000 Exp Boss Goblin Bodyguard Killed 1/1 Reward 2000 Exp Dungeon clearing contribution 10% Reward 5000 Exp Dungeon exploration 20% 2000 Exp Total score 19000 Exp Level Up Level 12 Exp 2000/20000 Till Next level. Authority +1 Strength +2 Agility +1 Intelligence +1 Luck +1 Charm +1 |
“Only 10% contribution? Who was it?.” He wondered. It must be Lily or that hateful guy Victor.
“Dame it.” He thought. But after looking at his rewards he began to laugh, with the additional Authority he now has 7, which would make him rival many hidden powers’ elders.
Authority points are rarely granted. So getting one was like hitting the jackpot.
Poor Tom who was laughing happily did not know that he had become a slave and was now being completely monitored and controlled by his nemesis, Victor aka The Whimsical System.
The blood slave skill allowed the master to feel, see and control everything the slave did. But that would usually take a toll on the Master's body and soul.
The slave mark was imprinted directly on the soul, making the slave’s body a puppet in the hands of the master who can easily kill or punish him if needed.
The further they are apart the weaker the influence is and the heavier the skill’s toll. So Victor decided to scam Tom into thinking he was an imaginary system that grants missions. He would punish him or throw him a bone every now and then to make him more obedient. He was basically using the classic Carrot and stick strategy.
That sword was one of the dungeon's 3 rewards. He chose to give it to Tom for Three reasons. The first one was to cover his tracks and make Tom get rid of the chalice that could be traced back to him, whilst the second was to increase Tom’s trust. The last reason was to arm Tom with some good weapon. Victor didn’t want to leave his new dog toothless. He will let Tom put that sword to good use later.
