Chapter 2: Legendary Treasuries
"This is your seat, Kubo! This is yours, Alex!" Celia pointed at two chairs with her little finger.
She skipped her way to one of those chairs, then gently put down her white horse toy on it.
Before Alex took a seat, he told Celia he would help her make the tea. He didn't want his new small friend to hurt herself. And as Celia said to him that it would be her first tea party, he also had an inkling that she had never made a tea.
The castle's kitchen was old dated, but Alex and Celia found a way to prepare a hot tea.She often saw her mother preparing dishes here, so Celia more or less knew some stuff.
That was how Celia introduced magic stones to Alex.
From a blue crystal, water came. And from the red one, fire. He could use those stones thanks to his game system.
All Alex had to do was click [Yes.], but Celia didn't know about it. She just imagined Alex to be a strong person!
"We have to wait now. I heard that time passes quickly while we sing. Do you know any songs?" Alex smiled widely.
He wanted Celia to give him some time. But it would be rude of him to tell her to be quiet, which could also hurt her feelings. Thus, he told her to sing, and it was his best idea so far as Celia's voice was like an angel.
As Alex listened to her chirping, he opened his game system. He followed the same procedure as in the character creation, so he drove seamlessly across its settings.'I got a lot of messages… Strange, shouldn't those messages be turned on from the start?' Alex questioned inwardly.
He then clicked the messages.
[Your nickname has been changed.]
Alex's forehead creased.
His different nickname meant that his girlfriend couldn't add him to his friendlist. His friends were the same… He planned to contact them later on, but it turned out that he would have to do it in real life…
'I am already isolated here anyway… Unless there are other players… I don't think that's the case, though,' Alex believed that no player should be here, at least now, since this place was related to his legendary class.
[You have entered The Deathwill Castle.]
[You have become The Deathwill Castle's Master.]
[Due to your poor relationship with The Deathwill Sisters, you can only see the Deathwill Castle's map. Other than The Master's bedroom, all other rooms are currently locked for you.]
[The Deathwill Castle's facilities are locked for you.]
'That's harsh… But I need to level up and form good relationships with my wives. That's my game adventure,' Alex commented inwardly.
He didn't know how to feel. In real life, he had a girlfriend, so he didn't lack romance. But the game world already looked too real. He also spoke with a cute dullahan, who was no different than a real person.
Things could get really complicated later on.
Moreover, Alex promised to meet with his friends and girlfriend later on. If he spent too much time here, they would feel betrayed by him!
'Regardless of my real life's factors, three wives sounds like genuine fantasy. I can't be disappointed, can I? Unless the wives are bothersome ladies…' Alex found his first 'real' problem soon enough.
He didn't really know what kind of progress he would have to go through to have a good time with his wives. What if they were bloody and sadistic women? He would have to work really hard, wouldn't he?
He smiled, 'At least I know that there's one normal person.'
Alex turned his eyes toward Celia. She noticed his eyes and smiled at him. But then, she arched her head back so much that her vision spiraled.
Her head dropped behind, and she rolled on the cold floor!
"Haha! Do you find it hard to keep your head?" Alex helped Celia.
He carefully held her head and brought it to her hands. After she attached her head back to her neck, Celia carefully nodded.
"Mom said I am too weak. I can't control my mana and abilities, so it's really hard," she looked down sadly.
She didn't mind her head rolling from time to time, but her weak control hurt her.
After Alex asked more, Celia told him that she couldn't help her mother because she was weak.
"That's cute of you. I am sure your feelings support your mother in her battle with hungry demons. Because of you, she can fight better," Alex smiled widely.
"Really?" Celia asked as if she really needed confirmation.
Alex nodded once again.
Both of them smiled then had the tea party.
That was where Celia sang again.
And Alex reached the best part of his class.
[The Deathwill Castle's Treasury.]
[The castle's treasury hold treasures to support you on your path. Your access to them is denied as you have a weak level and low relationship with your wives. You can choose a different path, however.]
[Kill your wives-]
"What a stupid path," Alex blurted out.
Celia blinked her eyes, "Did you say something, Alex?"
Since she had been singing, Celia didn't hear him well.
Alex patted her hair and shook his head, "You misheard."
"Okay!"
As Celia returned to singing, which became her favorite hobby quickly, Alex closed his eyes.
From what he learned, The Deathwill Castle was his power. He would be able to unlock facilities here and train himself. He would be able to increase his stats easier than others and get rooms such as [Alchemy Room] and [Barracks.]
He could develop his army here and do other epic stuff.
That was because he was the husband of three Deathwill sisters. However, the game was like real life, so Alex also could take a different path. He could leave this castle and return with different strengths to conquer it without the sister's help.
After all, there were subclasses. And it wasn't like Alex couldn't ask for help. However, even though the system offered him this choice, and he could take even different approaches, such as stabbing the sisters back after getting their trust, Alex wouldn't be able to go for such choices.
He had heart.
And Celia was already his good friend.
'Legendary Class gives me a castle and direct contact with the Deathwill Sisters. I should think of subclasses then,' Alex turned his eyes toward the system.
[Due to your relationship with Celia, you can see the legendary item in The Deathwill Castle's Treasury.]
[The Dullahan King's Sword.]
'I should become swordsman,' Alex decided.
"Alex! How was my singing?! I have become better, right?!" Celia suddenly asked.
Alex glanced at her, then apologized, "I needed to check a few things in my system. At first, I could read and listen to your voice at the same time, but then I got so engrossed in those messages I didn't hear you."
"Eh…" Celia looked at him, disappointed.
Alex once again apologized, "Kubo looks pleased, though. Sing more for us."
Celia's mood immediately took a great shift.
"Okay!" And a cute half-dullahan started singing again.
