By this time Akira had returned to his home in the human world.
After spending some time with Runeas, he decided it was time to go back, otherwise he might get into other trouble, especially when Runeas made the suggestion to introduce him to the Gremory family.
Just imagining the scene of him being introduced as the boyfriend of the Gremory clan ancestor made his back break into a cold sweat. There was still the problem with Rias, who was in a relationship with him, but since his escape, he never met her again.
'Why is it so hard to deal with several women at the same time?'
Looking at himself in the mirror, Akira let out a sigh and went to bed to sleep.
Tomorrow would be a long day for him.
...
Shadow Palace, Nyx's room.
Nyx leaned on her chin and looked out the window, her fingers unconsciously tapping the table.
"Why hasn't Akira come to see me yet? It's been a few days..."
"Hmph! Even the tracker I put under him isn't working properly, I can only sense his approximate location..."
"He clearly declared himself to my person, and now he doesn't even dare to meet me again?"
"Should I go see him? No, that would be like showing desperation! Hmph! When I meet him again, I will punish him!"
"But before I punish him, I need to feel his embrace, it feels very comfortable..."
"A month? That's too long... So... Seven days?"
"It's decided if he doesn't come to me, I'll find him in seven days!"
Just as she was talking to herself, a knock came from the door.
She sat up in her chair and cleared her throat, "Come in."
The door didn't open immediately and it wasn't until a few seconds passed that a person entered.
Hypnos entering his mother's room, it didn't take long to get down on one knee.
"Mother, the task you gave me is completed."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be able to awaken that girl so soon."
Nyx said with surprise evident in her voice.
"Actually, she is not awake yet, I just managed to cure her sleeping sickness. But I believe she will be awake soon." Hypnos said in a respectful tone.
"I see..."
Thinking for a few moments, she said, "Since you did a good job, your punishment for losing the map I gave you last time will be reduced, so you can go to Hell and swim in the flames there for three days straight."
With a wave of her hand, a huge amount of shadows covered Hypnos' body and before he could say anything he had already disappeared from Nyx's room.
"I really miss Akira..."
...
[Full Mission]
[Objective: Expose the hypocrisy of the young devils of the Heaven's Extermination Conference]
[Difficulty: easy but not easy]
[Success rate: 80%]
[Completion Grade: Perfect]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission perfectly. Updating reward...]
[The host has just received a small increase in his powers, plus a free system upgrade to his v2 version]
"An upgrade?!"
The system message left Akira confused, he didn't think his system could upgrade.
[Please host, I ask that you wait a few minutes for the system update to complete!]
Soon a loading screen appeared in front of Akira.
He noticed that the screen showed a 0 that was slowly rising, meaning that the system was being updated.
'Maybe this new system update is a good thing.'
Optimistic about the system update, Akira decided to eat his breakfast.
...
After a good breakfast, he received a notification in his mind that the system had finished updating.
Without wasting much time, he said, "System what are the differences from your new version to the old one?"
[Answering the host, the v2 version of the system, allows the host to use the new lottery which has a value of 1,000 plot points, this version of the lottery guarantees better quality items].
[The system now also features an inventory that can be used by the host to store any items they receive from the system.]
[The system's quest system has also been updated, plus new improvements have been implemented, but this is not as noticeable to the host.]
Digesting the system's words, Akira realized that if this update was indeed as the system said then it was simply amazing, except for the lottery which had a 10x increase in its initial value.
"Speaking of lottery..." Muttering those words, Akira checked his statuses.
[Host: Akira]
[Status: Healthy]
[Race: Devil]
[Talent: Holy Devil]
[Storyline Points: 25,000]
Looking at the amount of plot points he had, he gave a smile.
The last time he looked at his statuses, he only had 10,000 points, but now there were 25,000, which showed that his actions in the past conference had a big impact on the plot of this world, plus there was his relationship with Runeas.
"I just hope I'm not causing monsters that should only appear later in the story to appear too early, otherwise I won't know how to solve this problem." Akira muttered as he remembered some powerful beings that would only appear at the end of the original storyline.
He remembered that there was even a being that had killed Great Red in the future.
"I can't let him appear in this world, otherwise..."
Akira couldn't imagine what would happen if that powerful being appeared too soon.
Putting those thoughts aside, he decided to give this new lottery a chance, since according to the system the rewards he would receive would be of better quality.
"System, show me the lottery."
At the end of his speech, a bright screen appeared in front of his eyes. In the center of the screen was a shiny chest waiting to be opened.
Akira realized that opening the chest would require spending 1,000 plot points, so with a heavy heart, he selected the option to open the chest.
Soon the chest began to glow even brighter, and a huge amount of gold coins began to pour out around it.
Akira, seeing this, had the feeling that something good would come in the chest, after all, to provoke such a reaction in the chest it should be at least a legendary grade item, or even a divine one.
The chest began to shake as if it was slowly being opened.
"Hahaha! I'm definitely rich!"
Akira was already imagining the legendary item he would receive from that chest.
"The system didn't lie! This upgrade is just amazing!"
While Akira was laughing, the chest was finally opened, and a light came from inside it.
"Alright, legendary item here I come!"
With a huge smile, Akira slowly looked at the item that had come out of his trunk.
Upon seeing the item he had received the smile on his face froze.
"Hey, system..." Akira muttered.
[Can I help you with something host?]
The system's voice sounded just after Akira's voice came out.
"Go back to your v1 version."
...
Looking at the item in his hand, Akira didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
1,000 plot points... They were wasted...
In Akira's hand was a sphere. The upper part of the sphere is red, while the lower part is white. There is a black horizontal band circling the sphere. The button in the center of the front is white or light gray.
A pokeball, Akira had spent 1,000 plot points on a damn pokeball!
