At this moment, in the Forbidden Forest of the Gremory Family, a handsome man was telling a sad love story to a beautiful woman with red hair.
The woman's eyes were red and slightly swollen, a sign that she had been crying. The man seemed not to have noticed the woman's crying expression, because he was too focused on telling the sad love story.
These two people are precisely, Akira and Runeas.
Akira knew that there was no way out of Runeas' reach, so he just decided to go with the flow by telling a love story that he had heard in his past life. Of course, he had adapted the story to fit the world he was currently in.
Runeas, who had never heard such a story before, burst into tears upon hearing the tragic ending the couple had faced.
"Sniff! How are you possible that they died in such a tragic way? You need to change that ending!" Runeas grumbled as she stared at Akira with fierce eyes, she hoped he could change the ending of the story so it wouldn't seem so sad.
Receiving Runeas' gaze, he just shook his head, "I am not the creator of this story, in fact, this story was based on the life of a couple who died a few years ago."
'Died a few years ago? I probably don't even know if that's true, I'm just saying that to make the story sound sadder.'
Hearing that this story was based on the life of a couple who had already died caused more tears to fall from Runeas' eyes.
Akira needed a few minutes before Runeas could calm down.
"That story... It's very good, probably the best I've heard in my entire life." Runeas said with a satisfied smile on her face.
"As agreed..."
"That story is so good, I feel I must honor the last wish of the couple who died so tragically. So I have decided that I will be going to England!"
Before Akira could finish his speech, he was interrupted by Runeas who jumped up excitedly, while looking who knows where. She had a smile on her face as if she had found a purpose for leaving the underworld.
'That woman definitely has some screws loose in her head, how can she decide something like that just by hearing a story, moreover a story that I copied from my past life?'
"In that case, I wish her luck in England."
Saying those words, he was about to go to the other corner of the forest, but to his misfortune, Runeas appeared in front of him preventing him from continuing.
"Where do you think you are going?" She asked with a mischievous smile on her face.
"Huh?"
Akira couldn't react in time to Runeas' question, that's because he felt his body being pulled to her side, and when he blinked, he realized that he was no longer in the forest, but somewhere random in the underworld.
'What the hell is going on?'
This was already the second time he had been taken somewhere by a being stronger than him, and it was making him feel a sense of helplessness. He had thought that after getting a high grade talent, he would have an easy life, but unfortunately since he got a high grade talent, he had been dragged to places against his own will.
And to make matters worse, the people dragging him were simply too powerful.
Runeas noticed Akira's questioning look, so with a smile on her face she said, "I just want you to accompany me to England, after I finish honoring the wish of the story couple, you will be free, okay?"
Akira wanted to tell her that the story he told was nothing more than a tale the author made up after being betrayed by his wife, but he knew that if he said that he would probably be killed by Runeas.
"I feel that my luck has been getting worse since I failed in my mission to die for Rias..." Akira can't help but grumble in his mind.
Suddenly a cold voice sounded in his mind.
[A fluctuation was detected in the host's emotions. New system function unlocked, Daily Missions].
Akira was surprised, then he became excited.
"I didn't expect that just saying a few casual words in my mind would unlock a new function in the system."
The cold voice of the system continued.
[The new function, Daily Missions, will allow the host to perform missions issued randomly by the system, upon completing the Daily Mission, the host will receive rewards based on degree of completion and difficulty, but in the event of mission failure, a punishment awaits him...]
With a lot of information flooding his mind, Akira quickly organized his thoughts. Simply put, the system would issue random missions and he could receive rewards as long as he completed them. The more difficult the quest, the more generous the reward.
This new function of the system would be of great help to him who was destined to change the plot of this world.
Sure, Akira still felt that his system was unreliable, but he knew that there was no way he could not depend on it.
"System, hurry up and issue a mission! I need to quickly become stronger."
Akira knew that what he lacked most was strength, so he longed for a mission from the system that would allow him to become stronger, even a little.
[In his past life the host never stayed close to anyone, moreover his cold personality made him shy away from even his family members, so go in search of a passion!] The cold voice of the system sounded.
[Mission: Within 3 days, Confess to the opposite sex and get the other party's consent to be your lover. After the mission is completed, you will receive rewards! The quality of the reward depends on the progress of the mission completion!]
"..."
"F**K! You've got to be kidding me!"
Akira began to feel that it was better not to have awakened this new function of the system. He knew that if this function had been unlocked before he confessed to Rias, then it would be amazing, but now that he had already confessed to her, how could he get someone else to confess to in just 3 days?
The system didn't want him to confess to Runeas, right? Not to mention whether or not she would accept it, she might just kill him the moment he said that.
Besides, he knew almost nothing about Runeas, other than the fact that she was the ancestor of the Gremory clan, and also about her mischievous personality.
'Damned system!'
Just as he was about to refuse the system's mission, he again heard the cold voice in his mind.
[If the mission is not completed on time, the system will go into an indefinite state of hibernation. Would the host like to give up?]
"Damn it! I'll take it, I'll take it! It's just making someone fall in love with me, right? I can't believe I can't complete this in 3 days." Akira's expression changed quickly, as if he had never cussed the system and said it was unreliable.
