“hmm hmm, well friend Justin. You can rest here for the night” asmodieus led Justin to a lavishly beautiful room. “Well then, tomorrow?” Justin asked as he prepared to go in. “yeah, tomorrow" asmodieus smiled and left the premises. As asmodieus arrived at the room given to him, he encountered alfred standing idly by the door with a glass of she in his hand. Alfred gave him a knowing look and entered the room expecting asmodieus to follow him in. In the room, alfred sat on the big white chair in the room sipong his glass of wine. “uncle, what’s the matter?” asmodieus asked as he rhythmically tapped his hands on the table. “You almost killed someone in the Asurah form...” Alfred said deeply. “Uncle, that’s an issue long past. Just forget it" asmodieus sighed “Forget it?! You know what happens if you had killed him in that form?” alfred was stern with him. His playful look was long gone. “I’m fully aware of the consequences uncle, it was a mistake that was all it was" asmodieus wasn’t really keen on the talk. Although he had physically recovered, he hadn’t fully regained his energy and this ten was draining what he had left. “You make light of this matter. If your father hears of this he would be very furious” “Well that’s why told you and not him” asmodieus smiled slyly. Alfred gave him a deep look then sighed as he spoke under his breath “kids these days, throwing away their inheritance just for a bit of fun" “that boy you have there, that green haired man...why’s his name again?” alfred asked trying to remember something. “Justin?”asmodieus replied. “Justin yes, what an unusual boy. Green hair...reminds me of the elves....” Alfred muttered. “Well he certainly is not one” asmodieus chuckled in response. “hmmm, I hope not. What do you plan to do with him? Why’s he with you?”alfred stood from the couch and walked to a corner of the room where wine bottles were stored. He checked some of the and picked one “Ah, red wine from Gunnivere” he muttered as he brought them back to the table. “ want some?”alfred asked asmodieus as he poured the wine. “no no, I’m full. Thanks" asmodieus shook his head. “Well more for me" alfred smiled filling his glass cup to the brim. “To answer your questions about Justin, I have really great plans for him. To put it simply, I plan to enlist his help in the Zigan race" “Enlist his help? You already have a convoy for that, you need more? If you want more we're ready to give you more” “no no, I dont really need anymore, it’s just...this man...I’ve never seen someone fight as good as he did in this city” “as good as the other Lords' children?” alfred asked, doubting what asmodieus had said. “Well except them" asmodieus chuckled lightly “b...but with more training I’m sure he could do close to them. Someone like that is what I desperately need for the race" “and this man, you know nothing of him yet you’re willing to trust him as a companion is the race?” alfred said as he poured another glass of wine. “He said he’s a traveller....” asmodieus was unsure of what to reply “and?” “....that’s all” he scratched the back of his head. “ So what then would you do if he decodes to betray you during the race?” alfred asked with a serious tone. “I have my ways....” .... “Damn...” Justin looked around the room he was given. The king sized bed in there wasn’t even enough to take up quarter of the space in the room. Beautiful marble tiles made up the floor of the room reflecting the sparkly clean ceiling. Just opposite the bed sat the fire place, ready to give warmth to whoever resided in the room. A bit further away, a mat was placed on the floor...apparently for exercises of whatever one wanted to use it for. The smell in the room called ones nerves, giving a feeling that all is well. The beauty was unlike no other. Feeling the cold air, Justin summoned a little flame in his hands and lighted up the fire place. He paced back and forth in the room, doing a few push ups and other exercises. Sleep didn’t seem to come easy this night... “System, bring out the black screen" Justin said while lying on the bed. The glassy black screen appeared with the upgraded user interface which made it really easier for him to spot things on the screen. The whole menus appeared, Justin looked at the messages icon and wondered ‘What the f**k does this thing do?’. The notification icon was already there to notify him of anything the system had going on...but this messages menu had never been active. Speaking of the notification icon...why did it have a red dot on it? He clicked it curious as to what it could be. *Congratulations, host has completed first hidden task; Have an official battle in the big city! Rewards; 50,00 xp, 50sp, Tai chi skill book* “....Hidden task? System what the f**k is hidden task?” *Hidden tasks are a section of simple task with huge rewards which are hidden from the host to prevent fast completion and improve diversity in hosts action* ‘Diversity in my actions?’ “how the f**k does hiding tasks from me improve diversity in my actions what the actual f**k?!” *....* ‘Well anyway...at least I got something good from it. Summon the taichi skill book’ although he didn’t sow it, he was really excited...He could practice taichi now. Just exactly what he needs to strengthen his attack and defence moves. A book appeared right in Justin’s hands. It packed quite the weight seeing as Justin almost dropped it. The cover was very dusty, he had to hit the cover a couple of times before he could even make sense of what was written on it. ‘Book of ancient arts; Tai chi”
