章 2: Sleepless Night (1)
Arriving in the room, Cyrus surveys his surroundings with a weary gaze. It would be disingenuous to claim he isn't feeling tired, considering the distance between this place and the imperial capital.
As an archmage, he can use magic to alleviate his fatigue, although he hesitates to do so. His mother always emphasized the importance of experiencing restful sleep every day when he was on earth.
Nonetheless, Cyrus has the ability to stay awake for at least 15 days without sleep, even without food and water.
He approaches the bed, removes his robe completely, and lies down, choosing to embrace the chance for much-needed rest.
"Sir, would you grace us with your presence at dinner tonight, or would you prefer to dine in the room?" Robert hesitantly asks, wishing nothing but comfort for the esteemed guest.
"I'm not hungry. You may leave," Cyrus declares firmly.
"If that's your wish then... but please, if there's anything else we can do to make your stay more comfortable, please don't hesitate to call for a maid, sir. She'll be staying near your room, and our maids are known for their excellent night service."
Lying on the bed, Cyrus sighs before closing his eyes. Once again, he says,
"Leave."
Robert bows respectfully before quietly closing the door, ensuring it makes no sound.
"Damn, did that bug finally leave? Why do these people talk so much? Can't they stay quiet for a while?" Cyrus ponders to himself.
In that moment, the door creaks open once again. Irritated, he opens his eyes and shouts,
"I SAID GET LOST! OR DO YOU WANT ME TO BURN YOU ALL ALIVE?"
The one who enters the room is Dorthy, the maid. She brings with her a tray of wine for Cyrus, but his shout sends tremors of fear through her body.
Hastily placing the tray on the nearby table, she kneels on all fours.
"I apologize, my lord," she says, her voice quivering with a mix of fear and submission. "I was here to deliver wine. Also, Lord Baron instructed me to assist with your fatigue by offering night service. I am experienced in such matters, if you'd permit..." Saying this, she starts removing her clothes, revealing her milky skin.
"Shut it. Get out. All I need is good sleep," Cyrus interrupts brusquely.
He does not understand why these people keep coming to his room, and on top of that, why this maid's clothing is so revealing. And, she smells nice, as if she has taken a bath. To think this woman is even an old hag.
'Bitch, are you planning to create a one-shota-reverse here?'
'Does she come here to rape me... no, that can't be?'
Although Cyrus himself isn't a minor, such dangerous thoughts plague his mind constantly. After all, he didn't come here to play around. He has his priorities set already.
"Forgive me, my lord. I have committed a grave sin"
After Cyrus stands up and gives the maid a cold glance, she quickly scurries out of the room. He then locks the door with his own hand before pouring himself a glass of wine.
Relishing in the moment, he undresses to get comfortable and takes a leisurely sip of the red nectar.
'It has been 18 long years since I came here. And soon, I'll achieve my goal. Now I've got one more reason to become noble: BITCHES... haha! Being noble sounds amazing. Shh... I've got to work hard to achieve it. Damn, why wasn't I born as a prince?'
Cyrus has always been an unlucky guy throughout his long career with reincarnation. In his first life, he was an executioner, swinging his sword of death at people's necks by the order of the king, but soon the kingdom fell and the executioner got executed.
Just when he prepared himself to get punished by the gods, life gave him another chance, reincarnating him in a peaceful world called Earth.
But the dude has serious trauma because of his killing past, so he couldn't make friends and got addicted to playing games, reading novels; he became introverted to the point where he lost his virginity to a prostitute because he failed to get laid.
One day he bought a harem PC game called "Kill the Demon."
Everyone was raving about it because it was easy to play, had loads of action and gore, and the female characters were stunning.
Their outfits barely covered anything, showing off their ample chests and pert nipples. When it rained in the game, their clothes got soaked, clinging to their bodies, revealing every curve.
It was pretty intense, so he decided to give it a try, especially because of those bouncing assets and revealing attire.
Plus, whenever those babes took damage, their clothes ripped, giving him quite the eyeful, and the sound effects of moaning when damage is taken... god, there were plenty of reasons to play such a cultured game.
But it wasn't even one day since he started playing, and he was still in the novice village; the computer screen in front of him glowed with black color, emitting intense darkness, and the next moment he found himself in a burning house where everywhere he looked, he saw death.
It didn't take him long to realize he had gotten isekai'd, but if that wasn't enough, he found himself in the body of a child with blonde hair.
He felt despair as his whole life flashed before his eyes; with such a body, how would he get out of this hell?
But soon, to his good luck, he got kidnapped by the "Tower of Raven," a dark guild because they wanted him to be raised as an assassin.
And then, with another stroke of luck, he awakened the myth-level element and became someone who is in a race to inherit the throne of guildmaster.
This world is completely different from his past two worlds because the moment he heard the words "Tower of Raven," he realized he is inside the gaming world of 'Kill the Demon,' a sinister and taboo world designed for the protagonist, Curtis Lightbringer.
Given his vast experience with thousands of novels, he understands the importance of humility. Many times, the worlds portrayed in those novels have proven to be real. Thus, from the outset, he treats every being as real, not merely characters in a game.
Lying on the bed, he channels mana into the archmage badge given by the emperor, which also serves as a device to track adventure records. Soon, he commands,
"Show me the 'Honour Card'."
