Chapter 1

"Yes, mother," said Grove with a smile. His mother had asked him to take something from her room - a white cloth with something inside. She didn't say what was inside, but he complied and followed her orders. However, while he was trying to find the item, he suddenly felt something pierce his back. He looked back to see his mother's sweet smiling face.

"You just look so much like your father, it irks me," said his mother, pulling out another knife and pushing it towards Grove's chest.

His mother had gone into madness. The person whom he called his father was never there, always with a mistress. He could sometimes hear his mother's cries from the other room, but why would she go so far as to kill him? The mother pulled out both of the knives.

"Mother...I love you...why would you do this to me? It hurts," Grove said, tumbling down to the floor. His weight finally came over him, and he could feel his blood pouring out of his body, slowly crawling down his skin. The smell of his blood filled the room.

Grove's father, Sebastion Harrington, is the king of the 7 kingdoms. He is the reason for the flourishing and wisdom of the country. Sadly, Grove's mother was the last concubine out of all eight, making her the most hated and useless of them all. Her mother was sold off by her own father, and she was also the most hated of the king. This was because she was extremely ugly and could do nothing besides weep.

Grove is thankful he does not look like his mother, ugly and useless.

But deep inside grove's little body, there was something locked up in there a power that can destroy all 7 kingdoms, casting a spell grove become the weakest amongst his 10 (half) brothers, no magic and no skill how can he live in this world filled with menace and suffering, but with training using his small wooden sword he definitely got a bit of skill, he trained and learned using whatever was written in the book, only for him to be killed in cold blood, his own mother succumbing to the craziness of hers, it's also probably because of the curse that was placed upon the household, there were a dark energy on the manor only the one with the strongest minds can survive the karma that it gives off, many woman have already died from this abandoned old manor.

But one must admit Grove is the most handsome sibling amongst the rest, he is the spitting image of his father, with hair as black as ivory eyes as green as an emerald shining brightly, and skin as pale as snow.

Grove opens his eyes, he is standing on a field in a stance of swordsmanship, and his mother was nowhere to be seen, then he hears a voice

"Welcome to project rebirth," a man said in a rather monotonous tone, a square box invincible thing suddenly popped up infringe of him he tried to touch it but his hand just went through it,

He can read " system" on the top but it was rather odd,

[ A villain's way to succession.]

[ Kill Alfred the butler but leave no trace]

(Failed to do so will lead to dire circumstances) 19:58:43

'What the fuck is this?' He thought, he is probably just hallucinating and in need of help

Grove paid it no mind, he is trying to remove this weird screen in front of him

" to close the tab simply swipe it to the left," said the same voice in his head,

"Who are you?!" The system didn't answer. This is quite confusing at most but the numbers kept on moving down

19:58:04

Why is it going down he thought, he is not as dumb as his mother this is definitely a time of some sort or maybe he is just wrong

"You got 19 Hours and 58 minutes to complete the task," said the same voice, and so his theory is proven right this is indeed a timer that counts down, where is his butler anyways

The system pops up again showing a skill that he currently has

[swift movements] level 20/????

[assassination] level 1/????

[ clean up success] ????

[telekinesis] level 10

This is weird he thought, he sat at the nearest lodge and rethink what he would do, he had never killed anyone in his life

[empathy] level -0

"Negative zero?" He thought this must be some sort of joke

———

"System initialization complete," said a man in a lab coat looking through a glass filled with green Transparent liquid, a naked man was floating peacefully, sleeping, wires connected on his head and body.

"When will Mr. _______ wake up," said one of the female staff talking to a man wearing a lab coat

" We don't know for sure but I hope this experiment succeeds, once he awoke something greater will happen," said the man with an evil grin, this is indeed quite interesting

———

Grove just sat there feeling like something is tugging at his head, he woke inside the creepy old manor with pictures of the last owners of it. upon entering, he ought to find the butler and kill him but how.

Grove was confused and disoriented, trying to make sense of the strange system that appeared before him. He had never heard of anything like it before. As he sat on the lodge, he contemplated his next move. He had never killed anyone before, and the idea of taking someone's life filled him with dread.

But he knew he had no choice. The timer was ticking down, and he had to complete the task before it was too late. He needed to find Alfred the butler and kill him, but he had no idea where to start. He had never even seen the butler before.

As he sat there, the system popped up again, showing him his current skills. He was surprised to see that he had some level of telekinesis. Maybe he could use that to his advantage.

With a deep breath, Grove stood up and began to search the manor for the butler. He searched every room, every closet, and every nook and cranny. Finally, he found the butler in the kitchen, preparing dinner.

Without hesitation, Grove used his telekinesis to grab a knife from the counter and plunged it into the butler's back. The butler fell to the ground, dead.

Grove felt sick to his stomach as he looked down at the lifeless body. He had never wanted to kill anyone, but he knew he had no choice. He needed to complete the task or face dire consequences.

As he stood there, the system popped up again, showing him that he had successfully completed the task. But he knew that this was only the beginning. There were many more challenges ahead, and he had to be prepared for whatever came next.
