Throne Of World

[ Starting Bonus Help Quest ]

[ Helping yourself is the biggest help ]

[ Mission: Help yourself out of this situation (System will provide hint )]

[ Rewards: Instant Medicine brewing using the collected herbs ]

[ Time: 7 minutes ]

[ Failure Punishment: Paralyzed body for five days ]

A series of notifications rang in Alexander's mind, and he was stunned instantly. He asked for help from the system, thinking that it'll get him out of all of this without having to perform any actions personally, but the reality is always as sour as lemons. This bastard system initiated a mission instead of helping him directly.

What's more? This f**ker even gave him a quote, 'Helping yourself is the biggest help.'

I f**king know that!

He, who was already silent, physically became speechless even mentally. He can't say or think about anything at all.

If he inquires about this form the system, he'll probably get an answer like, "This is what you need to do for becoming a ruler."

'I am f**king fed up with this ruler sh*t!'

'I won't follow your instructions even if I die!' Alexander howled inside but did otherwise; he immediately asked for the instructions from the system. So what if he is stubborn? Life is always first.

'System, what should I do? Tell fast!'

[ Mission Countdown starts! ]

[ Time left: 6:59 ]

With another series of notifications, everything was delivered to Alexander in an instant.

'Just this?'

'What kind of lousy plan is this? Hit the target with an object? Who's the target, and what's the object?'

He wasn't able to comprehend anything at all. He thought he'd be given an escape plan at least so that he can easily escape from here before that Luke Green comes again. But, the system is telling something entirely different from his expectations.

From some thinking, he realized that Luke Green should be the target specified in the hint as the mission depends on him, as for the object to hit him, he looked up in the sky to locate Sun and decide the directions here, he realized North is actually his right side so that means thirty degrees North should be thirty degrees to his right, right?

He turned right immediately to locate the object, but he was stunned instantly again. Actually the word stunned will be belittling his emotions. He was like electrocuted or like someone inserted a rod in his a**.

What appeared in his vision, thirty degrees to his right, was a long thick metal rod, with several groves in a circular pattern used in construction work.

Will that boy survive a hit from this rod? Is the system trying to make me a murderer?

[ It's not like you won't murder people in your way. Sooner or later, what's the problem? ]

"..."

'What's the problem? Later, at least I'll have some authority to protect myself from the legal department but right now? I'll be freaking jailed even if I just slap him and he complains about it, let alone hitting someone with a rod in front of so many people.'

'System you are right, self-help is the best help. I'll not accept the mission. I'll try to figure things out in my way.'

[ Your way? ]

'Yeah!' Alexander nodded confidently. If he really uses his genius brain, it will give some better solutions than the system.

[ Way of chicken? ]

"..."

[ Anyways, he's here. It's not up to you to reject this mission. You should have thought about this before asking for help from me. Finish mission, get the reward. Or you can wait for time to end then get paralyzed for five days. I think the target will really enjoy torturing paralyzed you. Kekekek ]

Like always, Alexander was wordless, thoughtless at the end of the conversation, but he lifted his head towards the counter and saw, Luke Green coming back with packed fresh meat in both hands.

The quantity of meat in both his hands was enough to make Alexander gulp a mouthful of saliva.

'What should I do?'
