Chapter 5: The Promise
Chapter 5: The Promise
In a dark alleyway, a person riding a red scooter appeared out of thin air, fortunately the alleyway was devoid of people, resulting in the positive outcome of no one seeing this display of magic that would’ve led to unnecessary outcomes.
This person was naturally Kyle! He looked around and spoke in a relieved tone. “I’m back! Damn that was close I thought I would be trapped in that world forever.”
Kyle opened his phone and saw that the time was exactly the same as the one he got transported to the other world.
“Oh? The time of my world actually stopped as I went to deliver a takeaway order, huh? That’s so convenient, now, where in the name of hell am I?”
Few moments of driving his scooter and probing his surroundings, he found out that he was just a short 50 meters away from his work place which was the MgRonald Restaurant.
He went back to work since his shift would end at exactly 6 : 00 PM, he still had more than an hour left before his shift ended.
..
..
..
By the end of his shift, no one had taken a takeaway order delivery, resulting in him just lazing around with nothing to do, bored out of his mind, he immediately went back to his apartment, excitement present in his steps.
He hadn’t opened his rewards yet, he was thus excited to see what the fruits of his rather unique endeavor would be!
After going inside his apartment, checking that no prying look was directed towards him he spoke with barely concealed glee. “System! My Rewards! Now!!”
[ Congratulations, Host! You have received a 5 star rating from Esdeath! ]
[ You have received a Lottery Ticket for being successful in your first takeaway order! ]
[ You have received 2 Bronze and 1 Silver Rewards! Which would you like to open first? ]
Kyle pondered for a moment and decisively said. “Open the 2 Bronze Rewards first!”
[ Congratulations! You have received ( Esdeath’s Combat Experience! ) ]
[ Congratulations you have received ( Esdeath’s Dagger Mastery! ) ]
Suddenly a knowledge that didn’t belong to him started to imprint on his mind, it was as if he had been practicing these skills and honing their uses for several years!
“Woah! This is so cool!” Kyle was really surprised, he originally thought that the rewards would be like the items he got, only for use during delivery and matters related to it, but he was fortunately wrong!
The Rewards were taken, more like copied, from the person who took a takeaway order request from him!
Which meant he could have the same skills Esdeath had, but even better since through the system it got tailored in a way that he could use them, even though his gender, build and body structure had zero similarities he’d still be able to use them accurately to a fault just like Esdeath! Though he doubted he’d be able to match the real her in combat, let’s not think of the multitude of reasons for that! Now, she had actually rewarded him with her combat skills?
How generous of her!
Kyle’s strength didn’t increase, not even a bit, but his knowledge in combat expanded from zero to almost master level! To think this was the combat experience of just a 13 years old child? Tsk! Tsk!
With this he was confident in being able to beat 10 thugs with ease. Now, this seemed impossible since his strength didn’t increase at all so how’d he do that? Well, the answer was simple. He didn’t have the strength but he got techniques and the combat instincts of a veteran that allowed to use the meagre strength that he had in a terrifyingly accurate manner to deal with crippling amounts of damage in the most efficient manner. Basically he could one hit a vital with precise force to completely knock out someone in seconds, while the instincts would help him to precisely counter and destroy several men at the same time. This concept was so broken it was out of this world!
But more importantly he now wanted to try his new dagger skills!
But first! He still needed to open the Silver Reward!
“System! Open my Silver Reward!”
[ Congratulations you have received an item ( The Promise ) ]
‘The Promise?’ Kyle thought, then the system continued.
[ A Message From Esdeath :- “I gave you my dagger, I named it ‘The Promise’. This dagger is my best companion and also the proof of all my love for you, don’t forget about me, okay? I’ll be very angry if you do that. We will surely be getting married next time we meet! Until then! I love you, Kyle! Take Care. ]
Kyle smiled wryly at Esdeath’s message, he spoke. “Damn, is she seriously for real?”
A dagger appeared on his right hand, this was the very same dagger that he had seen Esdeath use to stab the boar-like danger beast with! Also her best companion, as she stated in the message.
Kyle noticed that he could see it’s detail if he willed to see!
‘The Promise’
Rank : Rare
Details : A dagger that was made from the tooth of a high ranked danger beast, extremely sharp and hard, this was sharpened and reformed by a talented blacksmith from Esdeath’s tribe to be given to the greatest talent to ever grace her tribe. The ultimate weapon they could make for their beloved prodigy. Holds significant meaning to their tribe and its bearer Esdeath. You could say part of her resides in it. Given, to her true love as the promise that it holds.
( Common, Uncommon, Rare, Unique, Epic, Legendary, Mythic and Celestial )
“This is actually made from a danger beast… I didn’t notice this before but this dagger looks really cool. That description though, I feel a little bad already. Nothing I can do anymore, I guess.”
Kyle swung the dagger a few times, and he immediately liked it a lot!
“Why do I feel that this dagger was meant solely for me? Is it because of the influence of Esdeath’s Dagger Mastery? Well all that isn’t that important anymore.” Kyle pondered for a while and continued.
“I wonder exactly how sharp this dagger really is…” While talking, he suddenly had an idea, he intentionally dropped the dagger at the floor.
The floor was made of wood, and guess what? The dagger left a deep compression on the wooden floor and it was still going deeper as if defying the law of resistance!
It was like a piece of tofu being cut down by a sharp knife!
Kyle immediately took away the dagger from the floor, he was afraid that it would fall down on the first floor since his apartment was on the second floor.
He might accidentally kill someone with this extremely sharp dagger, he better not use it often because it was seriously a deadly weapon.
More importantly he didn’t have a sheath! He might have to hide it somewhere…
Kyle realized something, and asked. “System! Do you have a space inventory?”
[ Yes, I do, you can put anything as long as it doesn’t have life force, the space inside is unlimited so host doesn’t need to worry about the inventory being full. ]
“I got it! Then put ‘The Promise’ inside!”
‘The Promise’ disappeared from his hand and went inside the space inventory!
Kyle nodded in satisfaction, meanwhile his phone suddenly rang from his pocket.
He took it out, and answered the phone call in an inquiring tone.
“Hello? Who is this?”
[ Kai~chan~! Ehehehe~ ]
“Geh! Oba-san! You’re drunk again?!” Kyle’s expression turned helpless as he continued.
“So, oba-san? Why did you call this late? You didn’t call me for nothing right?”
[ Ehehe~! Of course! ]
While listening to her, Kyle went to the refrigerator to drink some cold water since he felt parched after everything transpired today.
[ You know your oba-chan is talking to a dragon about maids~ ! Ehehehe- How cool I am! Yay!! ]
“Pfft-” He spilled all of the water from his mouth as he heard his aunt talking to a dragon!
“Cough- Cough- Cough-!” Kyle coughed loudly, as some water got stuck on his throat!
But more importantly! He knew that this drunkard of an aunt of his was seriously talking with a freaking dragon!!
After all he had been expecting for this to happen ever since he had reincarnated in this world and understood his origins!
And that dragon was none other than the future maid of his aunt Tohru, Dragon of Chaos!
He immediately said. “Oba-san!! Quick, tell me where are you?!”
[ Ehhh~? You’re going to get me~? How sweet of you Kai Chan~! ]
“Oba-san! Please, get straight to the point!!”
[ Ehhh~ I’m in the mountains? ]
“….”
..
..
..
Kyle got to know her location after inquiring for a few minutes, and now he was riding his red scooter at a speed exceeding 120 kph! He would’ve sped further but his scooter didn’t allow it.
If it was before today’s otherworldly shenanigans he wouldn’t have had the balls to drive at this speed, but now after intaking Esdeath’s vast experience and instincts he was confident of doing this risky endeavor.
Plus he was wearing the enhanced MgRonalds outfit! He wasn’t really afraid of any accidents.
Kyle thought ‘Hopefully I could still get to meet Tohru. I want to see her dragon form personally!’
