"Gosh! This system is crazy," Keith's complained.
Somehow, Keith's happiness suddenly died off. The Immortal Mage System had ordered him to complete his current mission within three days, however, that only wiped out the giggles off his cheeks.
Of course, killing ten Tier-0 monsters wasn't much of a deadly thing to do, but, the other mission was what quenched his urge to complete the mission.
Keith was not in the power to order a servant of his choice... It was the duty of the territory's posting officials. So, if it turns out that his servant would be a boy, or an old woman... Uh! That would be total s**t.
Though Keith didn't prayed for such.
With a sad mood and a confused countenance, Keith lay on his mattress. Jerks like him sleep not quite long after setting their backs on a mattress, so he slept off in a matter of seconds.

In a dark building clogged with the dreadful and cruel aura of some phantom-like creatures, one of them, a stronger figure with the same physique sat on a structure made of huge, stinking bones.
Standing in front of him was another creature just like him... He looked weaker and submissive as he bent his head while conversing with his master.
"Warchief Dextor, our spies have sent their messages," the servant said calmly.
"What is it about? Is it something useful?" the storming voice of the Warchief of the Specters sounded loud as he questioned his servant.
"It's highly useful Warchief Dextor," the servant replied.
The Warchief frowned a bit. Actually, frowning was a sign of interest for Dextor. When he frowns, he is damn ready to hear about it.
"Luckily, the Supreme Warlord of the humans is dead," the servant announced.
As his servant said those words, the Warchief's eyes widened in shock. He doubted a bit, turning his gaze to the other side of the area. After hesitating a bit, he said:
"How is this possible? What evidence did they have to show that that Demigod is dead?" The Warchief questioned, still shocked.
"Natori spied Premier Territory, and they confirmed that he was dead," his servant lectured.
"That's great news. Really great news," the Warchief stepped down from his bony throne and walked forward. "It's been over a decade since I waited for this. That fool has made it long for us to achieve our goals, but, he couldn't stop us forever."
The servant nodded.
"Now, it's time for us to strike. This time, we wouldn't only get the Origin Gemstone, we would wipe off humanity forever and dominate the Blue Planet," Warchief Dextor said with a bitter smile.
No matter how much impact he puts on a smile, his ugly face only makes him more uglier. Actually, Specters are utterly hideous.
"Of course, when we get the Origin Gemstone, we can easily take down all humans. That's the main purpose of achieving the Origin Gemstone," the servant said.
"How dare you tell me what I have known!" Dextor roared in anger. At that same moment, his servant's head was already rolling on the ground due to the Dark Smoke Gash skill he had just conducted.
"You foolish servant, you deserve to perish!"
He bellowed once more and turned. "Kaddai!" Dextor called.
Abruptly, another servant approached him. This one was a female Specter. Her face showed a clear indication of fear as he walked close, but the Warchief's calm face brought her mind at peace as he noticed it.
"Summon the Sorceress, we are waging war with the humans."

Keith sat on his mattress after waking up.
"9:04 am. Uhh! Times run really fast these days," Keith said, glancing at the wall clock on the right side of his room.
Upon staring at the wall clock, he heard a knock on the door.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Hey Keith, we are almost done with breakfast, and there is no food left in the kitchen," Sage noticed and left the door.
"Whatever! You guys should eat it all, I'm not hungry," Keith said with pride. But truthfully, he was utterly angry.
He decided to check his stats before going out.
He flickered his eyelashes.

"Too poor," Keith declared and made his way out of his room.
As Sage had warned, they were done with breakfast and were conversing in the sitting room. Without saying a word to them, Keith walked past them angrily and headed towards the gate of the fort.
He stepped out of the fort and made his way to... The Menace Forest. Yes, the Menace Forest.
Keith wanted to kill ten monsters as soon as possible so he could guarantee his mission was done halfway. Despite his growling stomach, he was determined to complete killing ten monsters before noontime.
But somehow, Keith doubted this impossible goal.
On his way forward, Keith bumped into a group of strict-looking boys. By looking at their physique and aura, Keith could tell that they were new Awakeneds.
'Not again. I have been keeping away from bullies all this while. What a coincidence,' Keith thought.
"Hey! What do we have here!" One of the trio shouted with a teasing expression.
"The Darned b***h's Son!" another boy responded, and they all burst into laughter.
"Hey Keith, I told you we would come for you when we finally awaken our talent. Now here we are, to break your bones into unfixable pieces," the third boy said with a frown as he walked close to Keith.
Keith looked at them in distaste, his eyes became bloodshot as though he had been attacked by a monster.
"Stay out of my way Jake... Your tortures lately are enough for you to ruin my life, so please stand out from my path," Keith warned.
Suddenly, the third guy who had been Keith's enemy for a long began to laugh uncontrollably. Soon, the others joined him in laughing.
Unawares, Jake punched Keith in the face, creating an ugly bruise on his face as he pitched face-first unto the muddy floor. It hurt so badly, but Keith had to get back on his feet to prevent another attack.
Just as he did, the system appeared.
