14 Chapter 14 - Ability, Ruler's Kingdom!
'creaakk.. bang!' 'Clank!' as the big door of Theo's hut shuts tightly and the sound of a metal lock being put into place could be heard.
Theo somehow managed to subdue the masses from their previous riot, he had quickly sent them back to the village in fear that his house would eventually get torn apart.
Reclining his back onto the big door, Theo wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.
"Good heavens! Those fellas sure knows how to run amok! I guess they have a blood feud with those rabbits eey? How petty.." as he thought while his fingers doing that 'L' shape pose onto his chin. Forgetting that he himself swore to annihilate the rabbits too.
Exhaling a sigh of relief, he walk back towards the throne before sitting on it like a potato slouch.
"Now I need to plan for tomorrow's rabbit hunt.." Contemplating for awhile, he decided to make full use of his abilities and the system.
"System, I need basic weapons and equipments that you can sold me for 1 RP each, suitable for a total beginner."
[Ting!]
[Granting request requires 50 RP, proceed?] asked the system in a mechanical voice.
"Proceed." Theo willed resolutely with an aloof expression.
[Ting!]
[Request granted. Adding [Noob's Sword], [Noob's Bow] and [Noob's Gear] into the shop.]
Theo immediately checked the newly added weapons and equipment at the 'Shop' in his System.
[[Noob's Sword] The most crappiest of all swords in creation by the heavens. Materials are made using a variety of scrap iron, thus producing the lowest quality of iron sword. A bit heavier but more resillient than the [Basic Iron Sword]. Even monkeys can wield it. (Stats: +7 Attack, +2 Defense)]
[[Noob's Bow] Bows suitable for fools. Materials are made from saw dust. The most lightest of all bows but lack elasticity. (Stats: +5 Attack, +2 Agility).]
[[Noob's Gear] The most basic protection that only includes leather chestplate and leather gauntlet to hunt wild animals. Will provide no protection whatsoever against Lv3 and above entities. (Stats: +3 Defense, +1 Agility)]
Looking at the description for each item he requested, his aloof expression disappeared as his brows creased together and couldn't help but to curse the system.
"What the fu*k! I know I requested for 1 RP of equipments and weapons, but this quality.. and what's with this description of monkeys can wield it? You mean the villagers right? How brazen!! Whoever made this description will get a good, tight slap from me in the future! Hmmph!!"
Theo felt that the system was too much. He wondered whether those descriptions were made by the system itself or the deity. After all, the system was part of the deity. [Author's Note: Idiot Theo]
Waving his hand dismissively, he chose to ignore the abusive descriptions and bought 7 [Noob's Sword], 3 [Noob's bow] and 7 [Noob's Gears], which in the end, left him with a petty 3 RP left.
Theo cried silently in his heart now that he went pauper again, but he consoled himself that tomorrow's success will definitely reward him in some form or another.
He put all of the equipments and weapons he bought into his inventory. Apparently, it seems to have no limit to how much he could store.
"Now that the hunting set for the hunt tomorrow are bought, next should be.. kekeke.."
...
Mad shrilling laughter could be heard coming out from the Sorcerer's hut from time to time as if some demon overlord planned to scheme against the whole world.
Soon, time passed by and the day turns into evening. Theo had completed all his preparations and was quite excited to put it into action tomorrow. He was about to go into sleep as he lay on his bed all smiling ear to ear when he suddenly remembers something.
"Aiyoh! I forgot to check my new ability!" as he pat his forehead with his left hand. He then willed onto the system to check his new ability, the [Ruler's Kingdom].
[Ting!]

----------------------------------------------------------------
As Theo read everything about his new ability [Ruler's Kingdom], his eyes opened wide as if they are about to pop out from their eye sockets, his breathing becomes haggard, panting in agitation, his hands shaking, knees weak and arms are heavy. Not because of Eminem's song, but due to extreme excitement.
"Holy father of my son! This ability! HAHAHA!" Theo shouted as he jumped on his bed up and down merrily celebrating as if he had found a treasure trove.
"With this ability.. with this... The whole world.. kekeke.. will eventually be mine! HYAAAHAHAHAHA!"
The sinister laughter of a demon overlord rang throughout the night, transforming the Sorcerer's hut similar into that of a haunted mansion..
Some of the sleeping villagers experienced a bad nightmare that night.
