Chapter 3.Do I get a system?

So if I don't act as a disposable glove for the gods for 1000 yrs I will be eaten from the inside by tiny little robots!?

Nope!

Nuh-uh!

He's lying. That stuff he gave me tasted just like water. I bet he wants me to be scared so that I cooperate.

But he will soon find that I'm not as gullible as he thought.

"That was just water in that bottle wasn't it?" I say this as i give him my best accusatory glare.

"Nah it was goblin urine, but you get the point right? Don't betray the gods or you die."

"Hey what are you doing!? Why are you vomiting?" He spews these words as I retch noisily onto the floor but nothing comes up. I can't believe he made me drink urine!

......

Five minutes later.

bluergh!aggghk!aggghk!puh!

(still retching)

......

20 minutes later.

"Ok i'm good, but next time please tell me what I'm about to drink before i drink it ok?"

"Ok fine" even as he says this I can see from the look on his face that he most likely won't tell me.

I suppress my anger, because after all he can teleport and do who knows what else. Right now I need to get to the bottom of this situation. Because my system hasn't appeared yet, and I'm starting to get a little nervous.

"So, when do i get my system?"

"oh. why would you get a system?" Engirct looks at me as if I'm stupid. "only Gods and lucky reincarnations get systems. And you are most definitely not lucky. heheheee."

The future is looking even worse for me as it appears that i have no way to make it out of this situation without spending the next 1000 yrs of my life playing pranks and killing people.

Stop! enough of these depressing thoughts! I just have to buckle down and get to work. Hopefully if i do a good job i might get something like parole and get let off early.

"Ok. so when do i start my new job?"

"If you are ready, right now." Egnirct jumps up and walks to the door of the room. No wanting to be left behind i immediately follow only to be stunned by the sights in the hallway.

I am standing on nothing! And I'm surrounded by outer space!

It takes me a whole 30 seconds to convince myself that i will not float off into space with the next step i take. By the time i calm down Egnirct is a little ways ahead of me, and i have to run to catch up.

As if knowing the questions that must be on my mind he starts explaining.

"Aphrodite didn't like the ugly buildings in the slave quarters so she threw them into outer space so she wouldn't have to see them anymore. Over time us slaves have replaced the outer walls with strong windows to give us the spectacular view you see today. The only small problem we have is that because of inertia we haven't stopped flying through space, and hence the first thing that every slave learns is teleportation. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to serve the gods when they required our assistance."

By the time he finished explain we had already arrived in front of a high tech looking console at the end of the hallway. Egnirct walked up to it and soon his hands were flying across the keyboard as he made his way through layer after layer of security. Wow his hands are so fast! He must have either been a pro gamer before he became a slave or another possibility is that he has been single for all these years...

Before long he has finished logging into the console and on the screen is a list of items with names like locator and assassinator and many other cool sounding names. But it seems that all but 'locator' are grayed out.

"These are the tools of the DG [1]. In the future you will do this on your own so pay attention. For now since you have just started as a DG you only have access to one tool. as you complete more missions you will receive access to more tools. but for now all you have is the locator. All you need to do is enter a person's name into the device and it will locate that person and will even display arrows pointing in the direction of the person so all you need to do is walk in the direction of the arrows. This tool will help you immensely in your missions as often you are simply dropped onto a planet with only the name of your victim and what to do to them. This solves the simplest and most immediate problem for you, locating your victim." After he finishes explain the device he moves the cursor and clicks on the icon for 'locator' and suddenly a matching device appears in his hand which he then hands to me.

"Your first mission is an easy one, just to help you get used to your new job. All you have to do is give the pope a suitcase weggie which cannot last less than 1 minute."

[1] If you forgot already, DG means disposable glove.
