12 End Of The Boring Days (2/2)

”Hah!” I sighed. But then my eyes fell on ... something peculiar.

”Valerie, why is my bed all messed up?” I asked.

She immediately jumped with a frightened expression and answered, ”Well, I was in the middle of cleaning it up, you see?”

”Oh? And what is that 'thing' on the bed?” I asked as I pointed at it - the 'peculiar something' that had caught my eye.

Valerie, with a face full of fear, tried to give a smile and an excuse as she got away, running to the direction of the cupboard.

”You slut!” I yelled with irritation, but then saw Valerie colliding with the cupboard in her rush to get away.

She ended up making the cupboard fall over and fell over the fallen cupboard herself. Though, far more attention-grabbing than that was a boy, who had fallen out of the cupboard.

”Ouch! That is so NOT something I want to experience after fingering myself.” She complained, also admitting her deeds.

But I was too focused on that boy to really listen.

I remembered that boy. He was somewhat talented and popular and had his coming of age ceremony on the same day as me.

My face darkened as I saw the opportunity before me.

”N-no, listen, Vilome, I can explan, alright-”

I killed him. It was pretty easy.

All I had to do was bring out one of my sword-weilding minions and tell him to kill him. It didn't even take a second to do that and then make him disappear, thanks to all the training I had been doing in Necromancy those past 10 years.

”Ew!” Valerie remarked, and asked while looking at his ID, ”Vilome, this guy was a pretty talented lancer. You sure you made the right call by killing him?”

”All his talent would have been of no use to me because of how much he hates me. But now, since he's dead, I can turn him into my undead minion and make use of his skills.”

I knew that he hated me because the darkness in his aura was easy to decipher. It was the darkness formed by the emotion of jealousy and it was pretty intense. Not that he was ever a threat but he was pretty noticable because of his envy towards me.

”So yes, slut, I made the right call!” I said, some of my annoyance at her returning as the sight of my bed entered my eyes when glancing back a little.

”Now, as your punishment,” I said as I pointed to the corpse of the dead Jill Jake, ”clean all of that up!”

Her shoulders drooped as she said, ”As you wish, my god!”

And then, I was finally able to turn my attention to the screen that had popped up a while back.

[The God Path - Quest 25: ”Kill a human” has been completed]

[Your quest reward has arrived]

As I read it, as per usual, the next window appeared. But then ... but then, as I looked at the window, I couldn't help but smirk.

[Quest Reward: Ascension - From ”Base Realm” To ”Advanced Realm”]

I was 15. In that world, that meant that I was an adult. My coming of age ceremony was over so I had also legally been registered as an adult.

Generally, this was the age where students of any Art ascended to the Advanced Realm. So, my progress was nothing to be much proud of.

That is what it would look like on the surface level.

To me, who had been preparing for that very thing for 10 years, that was a moment of pure bliss. It was so, because I knew that the time for all my preparations was gone, and the action was about to begin.

”Ha! Ha! Haha! Hahahahaha!!!” I couldn't help but laugh.

Valerie looked at me curiously and asked, ”Something the matter, Vilome?”

”Yes, something IS the matter!” I said, with a big, evil grin throughout my face. ”It's time to start my conquest!”

I said. And hearing that, her face lit up as well.

How could it not? We had been planning for this for so long, and it was finally about to happen.

The system showed me my status menu, with one additional thing at the bottom.

[Name: Vilome]

[Race: God]

[Age: Irrelevant]

[Specialization: Dark Arts]

[Realm: Base (Ascension Possible)]

[Progress Towards Next Realm: 100%]

[Quests Completed: 25]

[Authorities Acquired: Authority Of God]

[Weapons Mastered: 2]

[Ascension to next realm is possible. Would you liked to ascend right now?]

I looked at that menu, smirked and even though I didn't need to, I answered the system's question with a confident voice.

”Yes!”
