5] Didn't order a Loli

"Lady Elizabeth has arrived Great Lord" said a soldier. Odon acknowledged it with a nod and waved his hand as a gesture to send her in.

"Greeting to the Great Lord, Lady Sarah. " said Elizabeth with a courteous bow.

Odon nodded and gestured Elizabeth to take a seat, while Sarah ignored her and took a seat for herself. Her face was stiff as if try hard to suppress a sudden burst of emotion. Elizabeth nodded and took a seat. There was a tense atmosphere with an awkward silence. Three cup of tea were served by the servant.

Odon took a sip and broke the silence. "The trip must have been tiring."

"Indeed Great Lord, I am not used to such long journey." said Elizabeth with a delicate smile.

" I heard the 3rd prince Daren didn't return with you. You know as a father I am concerned about my children, just like your father must be about you. Another reason for asking you this is because Daren isn't irresponsible or someone who would shy away from his duties. I thought this trip to the Holy Kingdom of Light will help him broaden his knowledge. As a king I must know about the rights and wrongs of my underlings so that I can guide them on the right path. And I thought, knowing from the person who travelled with him would be the best. So could you clear the situation for me? " Odon said with a calm face, yet his voice had a hint of dominance.

" Great Lord's words are true. Indeed the prince didn't return with us. Prince is indeed talented. We stopped in the middle of our journey to rest for a bit. That time prince said he got some insights on this trip and would like to ponder over them in silence. He said he knew an excellent spot, and would like us to take a detour. We all agreed as it was not much trouble. When we reached there, he said this place look like an excellent spot and would trouble us all to travel without him form this point on. I persuaded him that the road is full of danger and he who doesn't have any cultivation would face many difficulties that may threaten his life. But he said a man had to overcome his trials to surpass his limits. He also said to not worry as he will return alive for sure. " As Elizabeth narrated the latter part of her side of the story, both the king and queen frowned a little but immediately reverted back to their normal looks.

"Thank you Elizabeth, that was indeed helpful. You may now leave." Elizabeth stood up, bowed to both of them and left.

Elizabeth had a slight smirk on her face as she turned around and walked away. She wasn't the same nervous person that was on bed with prince Azrail.

Odon gestured and a man in black appeared put of thin air. "Send some men to track Prince Daren and bring him back." The man disappeared with a nod.

"You must go rest as well Sarah. Our kid is intelligent he won't do any reckless thing. I'll bring him back" Odon said while looking at Sarah, His eyes had a look of helplessness. Sarah nodded and left as well. She knew her husband is as concerned as her.

"Be safe Daren." That's all the King can mutter before sighing and falling back in chair. He could be seen as someone deep in thought.

A week has gone by from the day he entered this world. On the hilltop Daren slowly opened his eyes. The sun could already be seen in the horizon. But he wasn't concerned about the time as he made his first Breakthrough.

According to the cultivation method the 1st part of this cultivation technique is to train the body. It can be divided into four main parts.

-Strengthening flesh

-Strengthening bones

-Strengthening soul

-Opening 361 vital points of the body.

Strengthening the flesh will make him reach flesh rank. Strengthening the bones will make him reach bone rank. And strengthening his soul will make him reach soul rank.

Then opening the vital points is a lengthy process and is divided between ranks. When one open the 9 main points, one reaches the C rank. 27 for B rank. 54 for A rank. 72 for S rank. 91 for SS rank. And 108 for SSS rank. Together they make 361 vital points.

According to the information he had. A person can usually start cultivation from the age of 10. One can form a dantian when one jumps from soul rank to C rank. But not before.

Also it takes an average person 15 year to reach S rank. Above that is all based on lucky encounter and hard work. And thus with all the available details, a normal person should take atleast a month to reach the flesh rank.

"haha... It isn't that hard to cultivate. Looking at my speed I can be a prodigy. I have completed first step in a week haha" Daren commented confidently. He was visibly happy.

But the next instant his mood sank as if cold water have been poured over all his efforts. This was because he heard a familiar voice in his head.

[HOST IS INFORMED THAT HIS ASSUMPTIONS ARE WRONG. YOUR CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE IS GODLY. WHILE OTHERS USE ALREADY REFINED ENERGY FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES AND ABSORB ONLY PURE ENERGY TO ENTER THE REALM , YOU ABSORB THE ENERGY CONTAINING ALL NATURAL ELEMENTS DIRECTLY IN YOUR BODY. SO YOUR SPEED IS FASTER.]

"..."

"I don't like the tone of yours" said Daren Grudgingly. He was upset that the system didn't let him flaunt his talent even for a bit.

[HOST HAS OPTION TO SET THE TONE OF THE SYSTEM]

"Eh.. Really... Well then, set it to be the voice of a beautiful, sweet and adorable little girl." said Daren. Then after a pause he ask curiously "uh system.. Can you also speak like a normal person?"

There was a pause for a moment as the system didn't reply instantly. Daren sighed as he thought the system can't do it. But then he got startled by what he heard next.

[SAVING HOSTS PREFERENCE...]

[SEARCHING AVAILABLE OPTIONS...]

[SCREENING CHOICES...]

[MATCH FOUND...]

['LITTLE LOLI' CHOSEN AS THE BASE...]

[CONSTRUCTING AI...]

[ESTABLISHING CONNECTION...]

[AI ACTIVATED... ]

[SYSTEM REBOOT REQUIRED FOR APPLYING CHANGES. HOST IS ADVISED TO PROVIDE A SUITABLE NAME FOR THE AI BEFORE REBOOT. NAME CANNOT BE CHANGED LATER.]

after giving it a thought Daren decided to go with 'Cahya' which means 'Body'.

(pronounced kaah-yaa)

[REBOOTING... SYSTEM WILL BE OFFLINE FOR AN HOUR]

*Shua*

With a voice, the screens and voice of system all disappeared. Daren was still trying to digest all that happened. One thing kept bugging him. He finally couldn't keep it to himself and burst out. "I.. I didn't order a loli"

Arius was startled and almost lost balance. Daren gave him a wry smile. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. 'That damned system is trying to make me look bad.' he thought to himself.
