章 7: Danger Alert!
The Holy City of the King, Zeeland
September 1st, 762 AD
"Oh ****!!" I thought, "What am I going to do!?"
I look around, finding only two options. The first one is to scream and try not to consume it in any way, and the second is to spill the food and hope that whoever did this didn't poison the other meals.
"How could they already try to do this," I thought, "how much do they hate me?"
The "they" I am referring to are my brothers. They are the most probable people to try to do this right now. My only question is, how were they able to set this up so early without being discovered? It seems I have underestimated them, and I need to rethink my plan. I am starting to wonder why they would try to kill me early, though. Was it just too great of an opportunity for them to try to kill me when I am so weak?
Knowing my brothers, they probably colluded with themselves since my birth.
"What the heck, they are only in there early teens," I thought, "how much do they want the throne?"
"Eat up," the maid said, a little annoyed.
Those words brought me back to reality. I then remembered that I could ask the System for help.
"System is it possible to take the poison out of the food," I asked.
{No, you must solve this challenge for yourself}
I kind of expected that answer, so I had already planned to choose the second option, which is to spill the food. Luckily, I had planned that something like this could have happened
I had already decided to start refusing to eat certain foods in a few months to protect myself from being poisoned. All I had to do now was move it forward a bit.
I then tossed the food off the table and started wailing, and, to my expectations, the maid quickly cleaned everything up and then sprinted to the kitchen to get another batch.
"I wonder what will happen to her for 'making' me spill the food," I thought, feeling a little bad for her, "Well, it is to save my life, I guess."
A few minutes later, the maid came in with a new dish, and this time it wasn't poisoned.
"Ah, that was close," I thought, "I need to prepare in case this happens again."
Thinking about some new plans, I then thought of asking the System if I could learn to use a sword to protect myself from Assassins.
"System is there a way that I could quickly learn how to fight with a sword," I asked.
{Yes, sword fighting is a system skill.}
"Wait, what are system skills, and why did you not tell me about them earlier," I asked, a little annoyed.
{System skills are a minor system function that allows you to buy skills such as blacksmithing, farming, spear fighting, mining, etc. You may even purchase more advanced skills such as microchip manufacturing and steelmaking once you get to a higher level. You are currently level one. As for the second question, you never asked.}
"This function will be beneficial in the future," I thought, "and I cannot believe that the system would hide it from me."
"How much is sword fighting," I asked.
{It is 500 SP.}
I may purchase it in the future when I am old enough to use a sword, but, right now, I can't even walk. I am also planning to buy steelmaking and such in the future to help show my workers how to do their jobs more effectively.
I then thought about the level thing that the system mentioned before. I remember it saying something about levels while I was still in the womb as well.
"What are levels," I asked.
{Levels are a way to get better system functions, to level up the user needs experience. You collect XP by completing missions.}
"Well, that's quite useful," I thought.
I continued to eat my meal made up of some bread and vegetables. At this age, the food is terrible, and most of not all exotic foods from earth were not available. I also realized that the flora and fauna on this planet were a little different from my old world. Most plants looked a bit different from earth's ones, but they had the same names. This world was getting stranger by the minute.
I even saw a dragon-like thing flying outside my window, and supposedly they are called wyverns. I know this is far in the future, but I will have to create the first airplanes faster than expected if I want to protect this country and have dominant airpower.
I finished my meal and started dreaming and planning the uses of specific technologies in the future.
