9 "You Have One Year"

He looked down at the two. He got up out of his chair and began speaking.

"Zhu Jinayu has been highly unsuccessful in his pursuits of the other system users, on the other hand Shiro over here, has taken out every system user that was on Earth, in the first week he was there. I have decided that I will have Shiro return to his original body so that he can take care of the system users that Zhu Jianyu were incapable of taking out."

Zhu Jianyu was shocked.' System users on Earth? Better yet, Shiro was able to get rid of them all in the span of one week!' Zhu Jianyu was confused, 'How am I supposed to take out system users when one of them was the Demon Lord?' He was given an impossible task, and was supposed to do it within the short span of time he had.

The God of Rebirth looked back at Zhu Jianyu, "It seems you disagree, that you could eventually take out the other system users?"

"If I had enough time... I know for a fact that not only will I defeat the other system users.. but even take out the Demon Lord!" Zhu Jianyu yelled confidently.

He chuckled. "One year. I'll give you one year to take out every system user."

"One year! I have to wait on that dumb Earth for another year?" Shiro screamed out?

God's glare shifted to Shiro, "You've taken out the 3 system users, but haven't finished your more important mission anyways, putting you back on your actual world would be a waste."

God chuckled once again. He slowly faded away. Zhu Jianyu looked to Shiro for one last word, but he was already gone. All that was left around him was infinite whiteness. Then, he felt it coming in once again, like when he first left the void. He saw the ground once again, with the child in his hands once again. His eyes were open this time. The child looked around. His eyes were tired, he barely looked like he had enough energy to stay awake. Klaus looked at the kid in amazement.

"You actually were able to save him! I'm impressed, I've never seen someone be saved like that!" Klaus said with sparkling eyes.

Zhu Jianyu stood up and put the child on his back. 'I only have one year to take out the Demon Lord, or I'll my free isekai coupon will expire. I can worry about relaxing after I take out the few system users.

"I'll go on ahead and look for the others, you guys just wait at base." Zhu Jianyu said to Kimikori and Klaus.

"But-" Kimikori was saying before Zhu Jianyu unleashed a mighty jump out of the well. He landed on all fours at the top of the well. Zhu Jianyu looked at his systems powers. All of his previous abilities and skills had relocked, with a small note that read,

"Penalty Active for Soul Revive: Temp. Skill Lock Requires: Null."

All of the skills Zhu Jianyu had been relying on so far in this world were now locked, and he would need to get to Persephone if he wanted to get them fixed. In the top right he saw the rewards for saving the child and acting brave in front of the members at the bottom of the well, 500 points. 'Points? I haven't needed to use points to unlock powers so far?' he thought.

"HELLO, IT'S ME PERSEPHONE!"

Zhu Jianyu, once again jumped at her contacting him out of no where.

"If you had taken your new system seriously and had read the instruction guide I made, you would know that you wouldn't need to use points on the first few abilities you unlocked. Bet you wasted them all on dumb stuff too..."

"Oh yeah... the instructions...yeah I read those..." Zhu Jianyu never read anything Persephone had made for him to learn about his system. 'I'll read those on the way there'

"It's pointless to try and hide the fact you didn't read them from me, I can hear your thoughts, remember?" She said.

Zhu Jianyu chuckled and thought of a way to find the kidnapped villagers and team. 'System summon flying harper' he thought as his mouth immediately began whistling. It took mere seconds for him to see the flying beast he rode on when he first came to this world. It swooped close and he jumped onto it. It's speed was unlike anything he ever drove back on Earth. It started flapping its huge wings and lifted off into the sky. He figured if anything he could track down the carriage of villagers from the skies before they got to their camp.

He glided through the sky. He last remembered that their footprints had led west, and so he traveled that way. It didn't take long for him to spot it. There was a wagon being led by horses. On the back of it was a cage, with villagers and the rest of the Survival Sects members. On the top of the carriage were goblins, and on the side was a bigger, heftier looking goblin. He looked through the powers he could purchase with just 500 points.

"Blah blah blah, these all look bad..... but this one!" he said while scrolling through his list.

Magic Skill: Fire

Be able to cast basic fire magic with ease

"With ease!" Zhu Jianyu said as he went to purchase the skill. He clicked purchase and saw the price, which was 499 points. He purchased it without looking through any of the other stuff he could buy and smirked. He then instructed his harper to dive bomb towards the front of the carriage. It gained more and more speed. "We'll probably be fine?" Zhu Jianyu said as he braced for impact.

"Wait.." he said as he slowly turned and realized the kid was still on his back. He quickly protected the kid as the harper dived.

A goblin looked up for a brief second. Then Zhu Jianyu and his harper crashed into the carriage. The front of the carriage was smashed into pieces, and the horses broke free, immediately running into a nearby forest. The goblins walking along side the carriage grouped up to see what had happened. As the dust settled the harper swooped back up, this time with only the child on it. In the dust was Zhu Jianyu smirking. 'This time I'll get to test out my full power' Zhu Jianyu thought as two balls of fire ignited in his hands.

"TAKE THIS!" He yelled as he hurled red hot fire balls towards the goblins. They had no time to dodge, and were decked with the fire balls.

"Wow, took them out pretty easily." Zhu Jianyu said with a confident smirk. 'Perhaps this year won't be that bad.' he thought, before immediately being smashed with a huge club.
