My legendary class is Husband Of Deathwill Sisters?!
Chapter 120: InvitationChapter 120: Invitation
Alex had spent nearly his whole day watching videos and learning about new continents. Each continent had its unique culture and enemies, which players hoped to see at some point.
Alex also had a time with his parents. His mother had been pleased that he couldn't log into the game. Little did she know that Alex's studies were better in-game because of Sara's wisdom.
She was also a good teacher.
Alex didn't bother correcting his mother as she wouldn't believe him anyway.
At last, twenty-four hours passed.
Alex logged into the game.
"So I appear in a room similar to the character creation room first," Alex hadn't appeared in the game world yet.
Instead, he was in a black room with a floating system window.
[Alexander Deathwill Lv. 41]
He leveled up significantly during his time with everyone. They had a peculiar Wolfen Demon as their enemy who had constantly been respawning, so there was no way Alex's level would stay low.
Besides, Alex and Remia also had killed the ghoul within the hidden shelter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reason players appeared in a room akin to a character creation room after their death was so that they could choose their respawn point. That place also had the purpose of waning the players' excitement of returning to their favorite world.
But Alex's life could never catch a break. A second system window promptly appeared below his nickname!
[You have received the invitation to the Earth Soul Land's Capital, Dusza.]
"Huh?" Alex titled his head as the second system window was utterly unexpected.
He also lacked knowledge about the Earth Soul Land.
But as he clicked on it, Alex's eyes widened.
[Earth Soul Land - The hidden realm where the Deathwill Castle is located.]
[Dusza - The Capital Of Earth Soul Land owned by the Soul Grave-keeper.]
Everything became understandable now.
Alex received the invitation from that old voice, a person who had made everyone in his castle worried. He was an existence that truly could play around the system, just like Elias Deathwill.
Otherwise, he would've sent an invitation through item, like Natalia did before.
Alex took a deep breath, then accepted the invitation.
[You have appeared in the Earth Soul Land's Capital, Dusza.]
[The Soul Grave-keeper's Grave.]
Alex was immediately teleported to a peculiar place. It was called Grave, but its content was closer to the king's hall, except there was nothing but darkness.
He stood on a blue carpet. Around him, Alex saw a few pillars. Nothing else could enter his eyes as that particular place was too much for him.
He went ahead.
At last, Alex was before the bone throne.
The soul grave-keeper had been sitting on the throne with closed eyes. He revealed his blue eyes after Alex could see him. He was donned in pitch-black robes, which didn't look grand or official at all.
Alex stared back at him.
The existence before him looked old, but he had just a few wrinkles. His appearance on Earth would tell many people that he had still many years ahead of him. However, in the game world, the old man had a palpable aura that turned Alex's mouth dry.
His heart drummed a little louder. He didn't feel safe at all.
That aura would convey to everyone that the soul grave-keeper had thousand years ahead of himself!
Alex spoke first, "Nice to meet you, the soul grave-keeper. You've made my girls worried, but I can't really sense any ill-intent from you."
His aura had been the problem. But that should come with years of wars and other cruel experiences.
Besides that, Alex felt a weird sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this old man before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe soul grave-keeper chuckled, "Priorities change over time. Elias Deathwill's Successor, Alexander Deathwill.
I've brought you here to congratulate you on your recent victory. What a pity that you still don't possess a genuine killing intent," the old man sighed.
Alex narrowed his eyes, 'A dead royal dullahan would benefit him, would it not? But if he has been in a war with them for years, how could this man not get his hands of at least one dead dullahan?'
Hiding those thoughts within himself, Alex replied with a smile, "Sara didn't kill her former husband, so I couldn't do the same. I believe it would hurt her mother if she truly became enemies of dullahans."
The old man shrugged, "If someone chased after me here, I would kill them all and blame their superiors for their deaths. That's how you should conduct yourself in this world, Alexander.
No one wants to have petty pursuers on their tail. Hmm?" he let out a smile, then stood up.
The soul grave-keeper continued, "I will answer the question you don't dare to ask now. Why did I invite you here?
As you said, your girls are worried about me. True. You have snatched a part of my territory, and you have also seized a little of its powers. Skeletons must have come in handy for you.
That brought you closer to the undead's concepts. Your swordsmanship is cold, and you can execute others through bones. You can also reach soul, albeit you are still a pretty newbie in that concept."
Alex listened attentively.
"Ultimately, it's Elias Deathwill's plan," the old man sneered, "If I shift all blame onto him, I can enjoy this whole scenario wholeheartedly. It's been pretty fun, especially now that you have entered the stage.
All puzzle pieces are here. Now, there can be only progress," the old man concluded.
That was why the soul grave-keeper allowed the hungry demon's concept to touch his subjects. Wolfen Demon and other individuals who had been touched by that concept were and always would be at that old man's will.
If he wanted, he could take away that hungry demon concept and make Wolfen Demon suffer more!
Alex clenched his hands. He felt like a plaything in the worst hands. Worse, he barely could do anything other than listen.
The old man sensed his feelings, "To answer your question, you are here to receive a quest from me. If you accept it, I promise to no longer bother you and everyone else in your Deathwill Castle for some time.
I will let you use those lands for your own growth. And if my mood swings, I will notify you of my attack. How does it sound?" he offered genuinely.
