Chapter 6 First Task

Returning home after being discharged, i only felt more tired than relax.

Why?

Because of the eyes that stared at me once i entered the mansion.

Eyes that seemed to wish, it could bore a hole in my body.

"..."

Speechless, I am.

Being silent is all i can do right now.

As I was about to go upstairs to rest once more.

I stopped on my tracks when an elder suddenly called upon my name.

"..."

I was like, reciting a poetry.

"..."

"Come and sot with us, Mr Geon" Mrs. Mau familiar voice with a hint of distance laced on her tone one when she said those words.

I emotionlessly obeyed and gone to sit opposite from them but was still sitting in front of them.

I did not feel that it was humiliating but still, I felt sympathetic towards the original owner.

How can the original live a life like this?

I can never live like this.

Well, I admit that I was spoiled once to be able to say those words in confidence..

But still... of the.....

Even if I am not spoiled.

I still know myself that I will never be able to be this obedient as if I was shaped to be this obedient since birth.

"..."

Being called in a commanding tone, i clearly felt a subconscious action in my body.

Again.

I was starting to really hate the reminiscent subconscious action in this body.

No doubt that the original owner was too used of being ordered around or this body was already so used to it that even if the original owner of this body was no longer here, the body will still do a subconscious if hearing a command by this so called elders.

There was no expression on my face as I sat down and faced them face to face.

Mrs. ma coughed as she sip her coffee first then started talking to me-no, starting on giving command to me.

"If you are already fine, then go to the company and do the extra work that my husband left behind...." Mrs. mau paused and sip her coffee once again.

My brows furrowed slightly but then it loosened in a blink of an eye that the quick witted elders did not know the changes that happened to my expression.

Maybe because they know 'Geon' as very obedient and docile so their high guard when facing the competitor of their company was really low.

Mrs Mau was obviously still not done on talking to me as she opened her lips once again after sipping her coffee and then said to me, "My husband is out of city A in the meantime, you will handle all the work that was left unattended until my husband finally returned" Mrs mau finishes on talking as she spend her time, sipping her coffee.

She said those words to me and commanded, not even asking for my permission.

But even if I am still asked, for the so called getting my permission.

maybe, according to what attitude the original give almost at every words that was said.

Maybe the original owner will not talk but probably already agreed.

".....ok" my voice which somehow become hoarse from staying quiet all year around.

"...'

Just kidding.

It sounded hoarse because up until the morning and up until now.

I never had the chance to open my mouth because there was no one for me to chat.

My system if you asked?

Well, after arriving at this world full of novelty for me and her, it was not so surprising that I was abandoned just like that.

And my wife if you also asked?

Well, my wife already gone upstairs when her mother had called upon me.

But I still catch on the look that she gave me.

The mockery.

The mockery in those eyes really made my blood boil.

But who made me still have this personality to avoid suspicion and doubts by the people around me?

Life is really suffering.

What Gurthama said was very true.

Even I dont know if the spellings and pronunciation of this name was said very right by me quietly inside my narration mind.

"..."

Argh.

So tired already, but it seemed I be working today despite of the tiredness that I felt.

Who made this elders incapable of seeing my tiredness?

Hah.

Just wait a few more whatever years it will be and then I can finally get the results that I wanted.

The results that I was thinking right now.

And that is....to be revealed in the near future.

Sigh.

Okay back to the reality now.

The reality in which I opened my lips to voice out a hoarse tone is as I described a while ago.

"..."

It was very good to my hearing.

But it was a pity for me though.

As this people or the so called elders of the original owner that was currently sitting in front of me sipping their own coffee and tea, creases their brows and looked at me with a displeased face.

As if they found me or my voice very unpleasant to the ears.

Actually, I chooses for both options why they are creasing their brows.

They found my face unpleasant and they found my voice unpleasant.

Maybe the original owner knew of that.

That's why, when i was about to say something once again.

I felt a huge rejection for me to talk.

I am starting to get irritated now.

Wait until I go upstairs.

And then, I will have to cleanse myself to the fullest without the help of my system.

Or else, this subconscious action will never fade away.

That system of mine was never one to be useful anyway, especially when I am still in the dungeon, all locked up and hungry but was still not fed because there was not enough portion for an entire year.

"..."

Okay, once again. back to reality...

"..."

Grandma Mau did not directly state her displeasure as she said while her old but mild wrinkled hand was being massaged by a young nurse.

"Quickly prepare yourself, the company needed management right now" the faint line on Grandma Mau face moved slightly when she began to order me next with her old voice crackling but still filled with dignity and years of life.

Maybe it was because Grandpa Mau left first, causing for Grandma Mau that was left to be matured overnight and handle the business Grandpa Mau had left.

Her old voice was filled with commanding tone.

Maybe she was used to it even if she was not the one who was managing the company now.

As how this body do a subconscious action because this body was already used to it.

I stayed quiet and got up, bowing to them first in his own initiative.

That means, the bod own initiative once again as i was very against on bowing my head.

As imagined my stepdad, Gabrielle, being able to know that I was bowing my head.

I already imagined for him to explode and then break everything around him, well, except for his most beloved apartment.

"...."

Very funny but it was not so funny for mee though.

As the apartment was more important than me.

Dark gloom of clouds hovered above my head as my face went ugly because of this gestures that still had not left.

Subconscious response to a certain words was really scary.

But still, I needed to stay low-key or else I would be ejected from this world because of the world conciousness detecting my strange behaviour and knowing attitude.

Without even me, completing a task, just one task.

But still, there was no task for me now so I am still free.

Ding!

Just then,, the assistant mechanical voice rang inside my head.

Why the assistant AI?

Because my system was still not present so the one that will guide me now was this assistant that was distributed to me so it can manage me if ever my original main system was not doing her work.

My system was always useless, I know that.

So I never been one that was very dependent to her.

Maybe if one day System Dangena left me out of the blue and then got assigned by another system.

Instead of being sad.

I will be more glad than anyone else out there that know my system?

Why?

Why was my reaction like that, you asked?

It was because i never wanted a system that will abandon me and not take a responsibility to whatever I currently felt right now.

(Author Note: System Dangena, '...So harsh Host')

But still, even f my system knows all of this.

Knowing what I think right now.

I know what would be her response will be like.

She will just...not mind me at all.

Aside from just sometimes managing me so she really wont be transfered out of the blue by who knows what Host she will be assigned once again.

"..."

Yeah, lets hate her together.

.

.

.

.

Actually, I dont care if you wanted to hate her or not, it is up to you.

Hmm.

"..."

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Maybe because I was not really paying attention to what the assistant Ai was saying.

The dinging sound was repeated thrice inside my head.

I started to walk upstairs to 'get ready' and go to the company as per ordered to me.

I dont have any choice and I dont have any right to refuse.

It was better to just go there and work.

Walking upstairs quietly.

I said quietly inside my head.

'Say it after I go to my room' saying that, my head finally stopped dinging.

I was satisfied.

This was an assistant AI I ever wanted in my life.

Very obedient.

Unlike my system who was having her fun already outside, into who knows what place she was currently on.

I was more very fond to having a system like this.

Very very good.

It sounded very interminent and wrong saying.

But who cares?

Do anybody cares about it?

Of course no one.

The only one that cares about me was now gone and who know where he is right now.

I wanted to cry but my face was stoic.

It might be very funny to look at if he began to cry out of the blue with no particular reason.

"..."

Ding!

After finally sitting at the bed to relax for a little bit.

The familiar dinging sound once again came to life inside my head.

"The First Task was issued, requesting the Host t complete it" the assistant AI said in his usual mechanical voice, without any life at all.

THis was one that I hated too.

As I only allow my dad to have this kind of voice and tone.

But it was an AI.

Maybe I be called such a childish kid for having to fuss about this kind of thing that really was not worth paying attention with.

"..."

Host Task Qou

First task: Bankrupt Mau Family

Reward: Mysterious Treasure Skill Trial Pack

Pros of the Reward: Can memorize the skill

Cons of the Reward: Can only be valid in two days after activation.

"..."

I was silent seeing the words that was written in the virtual screen that appeared in front of me.

What is this?

AM I playing a game right now?

Trial Pack????

Really now?

Ding!

As if the assistant AI noticed my displeasure and disbelief for the reward If I ever completed his first task that will be completed I guess in just one or two or three to four years.

The assistant Ai dutifully ding to give me a hint of his existence once again.

'Replying for the Host doubts'

'Yes, you are in a game'

'How come?I am a Host, not a player okay....?' I asked in disbelief once again.

A moment of silence was heard but then it did no take long for me to get an answer.

'Yes, this was really a game. You are a player in this world and you are a Host back in that world'

'Please complete the task as soon as possible'

Completion Rate of the Story: 0%

'Good Luck for your journey in this game Host. or Should I say, Good Luck for your first game, Player'

With that said, the assistant AI left me on my own.

Maybe, even blocked me for today so I wont disturb him.

Maybe, he will not come back anymore.

Actually, that assistant AI will come back if there is an important announcement to be said.

That assistant AI was like my system.

Sure enough.

System and AI's is always the same.
