New Quest: Reveal The Truth

Well….

There was a king who ruled many worlds…

Monsters called him the dark king. He was totally dark, even in his presence. The aura of blackness and gloom surrounded his entire body. His body is protected by armor. Having a black matter sword.

He engages in fearless combat with his enemies and stands up for those who are in his shadow, whether they are alive or dead.

'Death and life? Just what does that imply? Does he also somehow keep the dead?' Ray asks the monster a question.

That is unclear to me. These tales came to me from various monster species. The monster responded by saying.

'Okay, go ahead and finish your story.'

Sure-sure

There was once a conflict involving several kings, including the dark king. Two sides were present. On one side, many kings backed a monarch with time-controlling abilities, while only a few backed a human with the same power.

'huh?! Given that both have the same ability for time control, it is difficult to predict who will win out in the end.' Said the boy (Ray)

'However, my question is. Whose side did that dark king decide to join in battle?'

It's...

[If you learned more about the incident, you will receive a penalty.]

'What's this?! A penalty for just a story.'

Does that mean that all of the rumors he was telling me were true? If that is the case, this system must be connected to the rumors. Ray, seeing the window screen, said in his head.

Ray starts to question the system's and black's true motivations.

'Well, it doesn't really matter. The truth will just come out sooner or later for me.'

Ray after that looks at the monster. observing the monster freeze and not even move. When Ray waved his hand in front of the monster's eyes, nothing happened.

Hmm…

Is this system doing?

[Yes]

But why?

[system becomes visible to the one holding the information of the disasters]

That isn't that important…

[They will face the worst penalty]

Shock…?!

But isn't it unfair just because they hold a piece of small information?

[Processing…]

[system penalty is better than the death]

Now, what does death have to do with this?

{you will find out one day if you survived} (red color window screen appears)

Then reveal to me who this dark king is. The boy expressed his rage in his statement.

{processing…}

[patient]

Did you really believe that exercising patience would make everything better? Ray said, a frosty expression on his face.

[Then just go and die]

…?!

Haaa… fine, Whatever it is, I actually hate this system.

[Quote: You will initially despise everything, but once they begin to function as you desire, you will come to love them.]

Surprise…

'This system has its own brain I guess. Anyways how's the world going without me plus…

Turns around…

Unfreeze that monster; don't worry about punishing him; I'll take care of everything from now on.

[Understood]

Mm?! mmm!!!

"Keep still for a while," Ray said with a grin on his face as he looked out the window.

Shakes his head…

The way things are going for me is strange. I find it difficult to fit in and barely understand the system. There are new monsters that I have never seen before, and I also have the opportunity to grow stronger.

But…

It's difficult to think that it's just a coincidence. I think I'll soon learn the whole truth about everything.

So… no need to worry…

That's what I thought…

Yay…yay…

The hero came…

Ray hears voices coming from downtown and when he looks down, he sees crowds of people cheering for someone.

Hero?

Ray decides to check the hero out of curiosity. due to large crowds

He comes down the structure and heads toward the hero. As he sees a group of people wearing fancy cloth.

Aren't those people---They are heroes from the Lighten Striker guild, right!!

Ray's face is beaming with joy. 'can't believe they came here

[]

[reveal the truth]

…?!

A quest now, in this situation? Unbelievable. So what truth do I have to reveal?

[reveal the truth]

Zero reaction? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to reveal. Ray, to himself, said.

Right now, I'm debating whether I should let them in on my truth or whether I should let them in on theirs.

'I really have no idea right now'

Patient…

An unknown voice whispered in his ear for ray. Looks left… looks right… 'Who was that?'

Patient? So I need to maintain my calmness since neither I nor they are the problem here. I must first discover the truth before I can reveal it.
