Chapter 65: Hunting Time
-Well player, let’s see how many objectives you have managed to complete. -The girl who was part of the system approaches Alexander and then opens a window of the system herself, just by moving her hands.
[Exploring the dungeon: Completed objectives:]
[Defeat Enemies: 100/100]-[Completed].
[Defeating the boss: 1/1]-[Completed]
[Rescuing the princess: 1/1]-[Completed]
[Find Items for him tea: 6/7]
-Oh, it looks like you’re missing a player objective. -The girl was showing Alexander her progress in the mission and shows him that he’s still missing something.
(Damn, with all the boss fight I forgot the last item, it’s similar to the knight’s necklace, but this one is blue) -Alexander took out his card to see the item, it seems he will have to go back to the castle.
-Alexander?, what happened, where is Arthur? -But to cut his thoughts short, there was Agnes Bromck who had woken up.
-Well, it seems that you woke up Agnes, I recommend you to stay on the floor, the news that I will give you may affect you, truthfully…” Alexander began to talk to the girl while he tried to show his best face.
-Don’t worry, I think I know, I can feel it inside me. -Agnes looking at the floor started to cry as she said these words to Alexander, it seems that her connection with Arthur was so great that she knew what had happened.
(I’m sorry Agnes, if only I had been stronger, maybe Arthur wouldn’t have had to sacrifice himself) -Alexander remained silent while he clenched his fists tightly, at this moment he feels very helpless.
-But…. It’s no use crying, even if all the conflict is something personal between him and Grace, the big families had a lot to do with it, if this continues like this, worse things will happen. -The Bromck spoke as he got up from the floor.
-This city, this kingdom must change, even if it means bloodshed. -Agnes clenched her fists as she spoke, it seems that the girl has made a decision.
-I have decided, I will go to war against the other royal families, even if many people die, sacrifices must be made, things can’t go on like this. -With a look full of conviction, Agnes continued speaking, it seemed that the Bromck was willing to do anything for peace.
(Wait a second... Go to war? Is this related to the war that happened in the empty land?) -Alexander looked at the girl and her decision and it gave him more doubts than answers.
-You are a foreigner Alexander you must not help me in this, it is a path I must pick up alone, but take this. -Agnes removed a necklace from her neck and handed it to Alexander, the necklace was very similar to the one he was looking for.
-It is a moon drop prism, it is a unique necklace in our family, as it has a liquid mineral inside that makes it shine, please have it, it means nothing to me, but to a foreigner it can be worth a lot of money.
[Objects for tea: 7/7]-[Completed].
Agnes was explaining to Alexander what that object was and after finishing it she takes direction to the outside of the castle. -I recommend that you leave, it is possible that the guards will be notified of the accident.
The Bromck warned Alexander and then finished leaving the castle, when she came out she simply disappeared before Alexander’s eyes, as if by magic. -Thank you very much Agnes. -Alexander thanked the girl.
-It looks like he got the last player target. -The girl who was part of the system spoke to Alexander from behind.
-Hey, how the hell did Princess Agnes not see you? You were literally behind me. -Somewhat doubtful Alexander decides to ask the question. -Only you can see me, player. -The girl answers him instantly.
-It seems that you already have all the requirements, then…” The girl makes her fingers thunder and then all the objects that Alexander had obtained appear. -It’s time to begin.

-Why the hell should I carry you? I wanted to go with Marcus. -The war against the Black Foxes was still continuing and in this case we are on the side of Eva Smith and Alan Grey, who were together.
-Sorry to be a burden Miss Eva, Miss Sophia recommended that Charles, you and I go together, as neither of us can fight very well. -Alan apologized to Eva, apparently they are not together for fun.
-Yes, I understand that, but where the hell is that bastard? -Eva angrily looked at Alan, Charles hadn’t shown up for several minutes, Eva thinks he has escaped. -Fuck, I didn’t expect to do this today, I swear I’ll kill them…..
Eva who was complaining cuts her words and hides behind an abandoned house. -What’s wrong Eva? -Alan follows Eva’s example and decides to hide too, maybe the girl saw something.
-Speak slower, stupid, look at the beech” -Eva, who spoke in whispers, pointed with her fingers to a place where Alan could see why they were hiding.
-Wait a second, is that the leader of the Black Foxes and their executives? -Alan also whispering decides to move closer to listen to the conversation.
-It seems we have news from the battlefield, sir. -The one who was speaking was the second in command of the Black Foxes, it seems they have information of what was happening.
-We have lost half of our executives due to the imperial executives, it seems they decided to ambush us in defense of our attack. -Alan explained the situation while Victor, the leader of the Black Foxes, smoked.
-Did they lose? Our gang can’t have such a mediocre reputation, it seems we will have to intervene. -Victor destroyed his cigarette to get up. -Which executives do we have left?
Currently, we have 9 executives left, rank 16, the Cerberus trio, rank 5, rank 4, rank 3 and me. -Alan explained the situation to his boss.
-Well, that’s all there is to it. -Victor got on a motorcycle he had and with a murderous look he started it up. -Let’s take our new territory. -The second in command gets on with his boss and then they both go to the battlefield of the empty terrain.
-Shit, shit, shit, this has gotten crazy. -Alan spoke in fear, he never thought a gang leader would attack them.
-I’m out of here! I’m getting out of here, I’m not going to stay a minute longer. -Angry Eva came out of her hiding place, she wasn’t going to stay here to die.
-Alan went out to look for Eva, but stopped after looking at something. -What's wrong, did the cat eat your tongue? -Eva asked Alan and then noticed a presence behind her back.
-What do I see around here, a couple problem? If you want you can leave him and go out with me. A long-haired boy approaches the duo while talking with a smile, he had two earrings with the number 16 in his ears.
-Would you like to go out with me? -The boy asked Eva while smiling, this was the 16th executive of the Black Foxes.

-Here you have a player. -Several minutes had passed and after waiting the girl who was part of the system had given Alexander tea, the color of the tea was purple..
-Hey, are you sure this is drinkable? I feel like it will kill me. -Alexander looked at the drink with some hesitation, he was too young in this body to die.
-Relax player, the process was done perfectly, you can drink the tea without problems. -The girl removed Alexander’s doubts and he decided to drink the tea, the taste was sweet and exquisite, he felt that a nectar of the gods had entered his body.
[Congratulations: You have just drunk the royal tea.]
[The effects of the tea will be reflected in several minutes.]
[Drinking tea: 1/1]-[Completed].
[Main Mission: Teatime]-[Completed]
(Great, after so much effort he did it) -Alexander showed a big smile, he had completed perfectly his first dungeon given by the system.
[Reward Obtained:]-[Combat Skill: Exchange, Combat Skill: Tempo, Raise all your stats automatically(Tea Effects), Skill: Skill Wizard, Group Skill: Phasing Eyes, 500 Imperial Coins].
(Great the reward is no slouch either, from now on I will become stronger, let’s see some of the skills)

(Wow, this reward is great, there are skills which I don’t use at all) -Alexander happily prepared to leave the dungeon.
[Secondary mission: Impossible Love]-[completed].
But to his surprise another completed mission window appeared in front of his eyes. -Right, I had a secondary vision, let’s see what it has for me. -Somewhat saddened by the origin of the mission, Alexander decides to see what his rewards.
[Rewards obtained]-[Combat Skill: Weapon Mastery, Weapon Use unlocked, you have obtained two daggers].
Although he had only obtained three rewards for the mission, Alexander was caught by them. Just by reading their names he knows what they are about, but he decides to confirm.
[Combat Skill: Weapon Mastery]-[A king must be a melee genius as well as a weapons genius. By using this skill you will be able to use a weapon to perfection for one minute per day, this skill belonged to one of your companions (Arthur Smith)]-[Skill Level: 1, Mana Required: 500 per use, Skill Mastery: None].
(Fuck, you bastard you shouldn’t have given me this) -Alexander showed a smile, as he approached the door it was time to rest.
[Congratulations, you have completed the dungeon, time to go.]
Just as he entered Alexander closed his eyes until he felt he was back. -Home sweet home, I should go to sleep. -It was already 7 PM and Alexander just wanted to rest.
-Uh, what’s wrong? -As soon as Alexander came out of the dungeon his phone was buzzing with notifications. -Something seems to be happening.
[New Mission]
Alexander who was going to see what all the fuss was about is surprised by a system message.
[Mandatory Imperial Mission: Fox Hunt]-[There’s nothing more fun than going hunting. The Black Foxes are attacking your territory, go defend your territory and defeat their executives and their boss].
[Executives defeated: 7/16]
[Chiefs defeated: 0/1]
-Looks like the break will be for later. -With a serious look Alexander takes the way to his territory.
