BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37 - Worry
Chapter 37 - Worry
"Are you there?" I looked upwards here and there and said to nobody in particular but I feel tha- NO! I know that the middle aged man is still looking at me from his own futuristic cubicle.
As I had already predicted the middle aged voice still watching as he said through the machine.
[ Yes? ]
"Why are you still there?"
[ Aah! I\'m sorry but what do you mean, young master? ]
"Aren\'t you supposed to give me my privacy?
I thought that establishments such as yours values their customer\'s privacy.
But I see that is not the case over here." I said in an annoyed manner.
[O-Ooh! I\'m sorry Young Master, I will be signing off right away, please forgive this impudent one for his behavior ]
Even as the middle aged man which I assume was this branch\'s boss went away he didn\'t stop apologizing.
Hearing young master so many times is too annoying. Every time someone says young master to me no matter how many times I\'ve heard it it still make feel like a headache is coming even more so when some one is apologizing.
The fact that people of this era is so advanced in technology but are still so backwards in social manners is something that makes me quite bewildered many a times.
Just a moment ago when Mary had done a Dogeza to me is something I know has happened but the fact that it happened was incredulous. If a beautiful lady back in my world were to do something like this people would only thing that one of the two things might be happening.
1. I was a gang leader or someone high in political position who was making the women do something like that.
Or
2. We were role playing and the main story was about a Japanese wife doing Dogeza so that she can pay off her husband\'s debt and... let\'s leave it at that.
Wait a second! How the hell does she knows Dogeza! I don\'t think there was Dogeza in chinese cultivation novels or was there? No I think that might not even be Dogeza and it was just a very formal way of apologizing.
Something tells me that the True Ancestor might be the one who taught that very formal way of apologizing to others.
Okay forgetting about that for the moment let\'s get back to the situation of the system but again let\'s check if the middle aged guy really left or was he still there.
"Hey, you there?"
Not getting any response I asked again but this time a little differently "I also want a very big bag of popcorn."
Again getting no response I put the matter down and focus on the system as I call it.
"System"
[ Yes User ]
"How long do you have?"
[ Only a few moments, User ]
Getting the confirmation I didn\'t want, I gave a huge sigh as I leaned back towards the couch in exhaustion.
Never had I thought that after reincarnating in this world that there would come a time when the system will have a crisis of existence and that out of all the people in this world a multiversal deity will set it\'s sights on me.
Having no solution to the problem he was facing William asked the system.
"System how long will you be gone?"
[ I can\'t give a correct time User as there are still many problems that I am currently facing ]
"Then what about a incorrect assumption, then?"
[ ... ]
[ It could range from a few months to even years ]
"Figures."
If the system goes so will it\'s powers... Surviving in this world without any external help from the system is going to very difficult. Money is going to be one of the biggest problem I am going to face. And without the system shop even if I somehow get some money I won\'t be able to buy any kinds of skills or items to defend myself.
"System what will happen to my innate skills? Will they also be unusable for me?"
[ Negative, User. ]
[ I had already made them my second priority so The Money Generator and the System Shop won\'t have any kind of problems ]
[ You will be able to use them even if I were to shut down indefinitely ]
Well that puts one of my biggest issues down but the other one still remains.
"And what will I do if Baphomet were to again attack me?"
[ I really can\'t tell you what will happen or how you can defend yourself ]
"So I\'ll be completely defenseless against him huh"
[ My only advice to you User is to quickly master the Light and Darkness Dual Breathing Art as It may be the only thing that can help you ]
Well the moment I have some time to myself i will practice the dual breathing art and master it completely. And even if any external threats were to attack I would have that.
William looked towards the huge cat that was licking it\'s own paw and was in it\'s own mind overlooking everything else.
Now why I chose the Thunder Burst Tiger.
Well looking at it my way, I thought that it would be best to either have the Fire Prince Salamander or the Thunder Burst Tiger. I thought about the Tornado Eagle too but it\'s capabilities had a disadvantage for the current me.
Yes it had great abilities, as well it could take on multiple people and had a cool name. But it also had two weaknesses, First It will start slowly and Second It won\'t have a great effect on someone who\'s ready for a close ranged fight.
It would have been great if I had any kind of strength that I could use to defend myself from any close ranged enemies then I could have coupled it with the Tornado Eagle which will take care of any oncoming enemies which would have been perfect for me as I would be able to defend myself close range and long range too. But Alas...
Putting the Tornado Eagle aside let\'s look at the other two beast soul\'s.
The Fire Prince Salamander had great close range abilities and could literally obliterate any one in it\'s range. But it also had two disadvantages.
First it couldn\'t fight someone in long range. If someone or some beast were to attack with a penetrating attack from long distance than I doubt the Fire Prince Salamander will be able to protect me as it was an offensive only beast. The second disadvantage the salamander had was it\'s flames. The salamander wouldn\'t be able to control it\'s fire power and because I don\'t have any skill that will help me defend myself, if I were to be around the salamanders fire range the hotness in the flames themself might burn me down. So it was more like I was the disadvantage and not the flames themself. So I also had to let of the salamander.
Now came the final option - The Thunder Burst Tiger.
The Thunder Burst Tiger had mid range combat abilities which meant it could attack people close to me and could fight at least close to long range people. And because of it\'s mid range combat abilities it could also stay close to me and protect me as well.
But what really made it very desirable for me was three things.
First It had amazing speed. So It could strike someone from far away very quickly and even if it was far then it wouldn\'t take long for it to come if I were to be in danger.
Second was it\'s penetrative capabilities. So if I were to fight against an enemy with very hard level of defense, the tiger had the power to penetrate through it and kill them.
Third the most important was that... I always wanted a cat. Even in my previous life I couldn\'t get any cat as pet because of my family\'s allergic reaction to them.
I am very fond of cat like beings and it certainly helped a lot when ever I saw animes where there was catgirls in very very decorative clothes and the ears... those GODDAMN EARS.
So the fact that I would finally be able to get something similar to a cat was very enticing for me and I finally chose the tiger.
As I was thinking while looking at it, the tiger finally noticed that it\'s master was looking at her as she stood tall and also looked at her master in curiosity.
Noticing that the tiger didn\'t have any aggressive intentions from the beginning I beckoned it to come here. The tiger walked then jumped on the sofa as it lay beside me.
I petted it\'s back as it purred in happiness while sticking it\'s body closer to me.
As I was going to ask some questions to it the system prompt resounded within my head. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
[ User, It\'s time for me to go ]
