[As I promised, I am releasing this chapter today. The surprise is at the end of the chapter. Write down your comments and opinions to let me know how you felt about it. ;)
More system in this chapter. The system is a cunning bastard with its own schemes and manipulations.
Enjoy.]
The fire rose up from her feet but quickly dispersed.
That had been her twenty-third attempt.
And she had failed again.
On Eva's forehead, beads of sweat constantly appeared, but she used the back of her hand to wipe them away, and the crackling sound of rising flames went out.
Without stopping to rest, the end of one exercise was immediately followed by the start of the next. The witch's uniform lay at her side, neatly folded.
Given Roland's identity as the Fourth Prince, getting a few spare robes for her to practice it was not difficult. But Anna didn't ask for one and Hitler prefer it this way.
The twenty-fourth attempt had finally been successful. The flame no longer came from her feet. Instead, it appeared in her hands. She gingerly moved her arm to try and have the flame go to her fingertips, but the flame suddenly shook twice and engulfed her arm.
Eva dispelled the flames, her naked body appeared unhurt without even any ash residue.
Hitler couldn't control his saliva as he stared off from a distance. Eva who initially blushed profusedly didn't appear to care anymore.
After the second attempt which burned all her maid uniform, she took off all of her clothes and practiced in the nude, in broad daylight! Hitler who was 'wiggle dancing' saw the sight he didn't get to experience for decades and forgot about his pain. The Assbuster's pain was forgotten in that magical instant, and Hitler was able to stand straight without moving. Using his hands to support himself on the wall, Hitler watched the developing body in front of him full of admiration. His little brother didn't react to the occasion, worrying Hitler for a bit. But he concluded that the pain must have counteracted.
Eva's given task was to try to control the fire to such a degree that she could release flames from her palm or her fingers without destroying her own clothes.
After Eva's thirtieth attempt had failed but before she could begin the next one, Hitler stopped her and told her to take a break.
The Assbuster stopped when Eva was about to make her twenty-eighth attempt, letting Hitler release a sigh of relief. The pain was still there, but he could feel it reducing faster to a tolerable level.
After the attack stopped, Hitler felt indescribably hungry. He felt like he could eat an elephant. So he ordered his recently appointed personal maid, Klara, to bring food to the room.
As it was not mealing time, snacks and drinks were brought in soon. Hitler tried to call Eva to stop so that he can share the food with her, but she appeared to focus completely on the practice.
Such a good girl.
Hitler had to walk over and even pull Eva by her hand, leading her to a chair and forcing her to sit down. Unlike her, he was not able to sit easily, especially after the new rounds of Assbusts. Hitler, therefore carefully and cautiously sat sideways on the wide seat.
Due to his condition, he made his guards carry the special wide sofa-like seat with him where ever he went which quickly considered as another antic of the crazy Prince.
********
Eva looked at the dishes of exquisite snacks, not believing her eyes. How could food look so beautiful?
Hitler only observed Anna's expressions for a moment; she looked stunned, but also slightly frightened. She was carefully placing the cake into her mouth, her blue eyes twinkling and her hair gently swaying in the wind.
He was not able to continue as he had his own rising hunger to satisfy. Hitler ate like a beast finishing 3/4 of what was on the table. But he still felt that his hunger not satisfied.
Hitler looked at Eva again, who was finishing up the last cake piece. Although hungry, his focus was attracted by something else. As he called her to eat, she immediately wore a spare robe he prepared for her. But she didn't tie it well, giving Hitler some close sights to enjoy.
***Ding: Detected impure thoughts. Sending a request to Assbuster to commence punishment.
Tricking an innocent girl to satisfy your lewd taste deserves punishment.
Using the pretense of practice to watch the girl naked and staring with impure thoughts deserves punishment.
Since the victim is an underage girl, the punishment level has risen.***
"What the heck are you talking about? She is my wife. So I can have as many impure thoughts as I want."
***Ding: What makes you think that? You didn't marry her. She is not even at a marriageable age.***
'Is this system acting like it does not know or it actually doesn't realize she is Eva from Earth?' Hitler thought.
'This system is trying to get me punished by ignoring it. There is no way this system doesn't know it as it claims to be all-knowing.'
"She was my wife from Earth. We died together after marriage, which meant we are not separated even by death." Hitler claimed.
***Ding: There is no evidence that she was your wife or she is a reincarnated human from Earth. Your claim is baseless and delusional.***
Hitler got angry, he felt that the system was pushing its ignorance act. "I have trained and developed soul identification skill in hell. So I can tell whether she is Eva or not. I should be able to identify the people I met on Earth."
***Ding: That's impossible. No inmates could develop such a skill.
Checking host status.
Checking skills.
No Soul Identification skill found.
Your record shows that you have no such skill.***
"I never told anyone about it, except now. If I didn't want to go through another round of that disgusting thing, I wouldn't even bother telling you." Hitler smirked.
***Ding: The chance of demons missing it is near to zero.
Scanning host.
Checking host's soul.
Sending trial recognition test.
Done.
Enhanced soul detected.
Enhanced senses detected.
Enhanced recognition detected.
You have indeed have developed soul, but that does not prove you have soul identification.
Punishment level reduced to minimal.
Mode: 2 poles.
System advice host to not further engage in such things for now.***
Hitler grunted as he felt another 2 pokes of pain. At least it was over in an instant.
****
Meanwhile, the system had difficulty understanding Hitler's claim.
'Was he telling the truth?'
Since the system has no past life data on characters of the world, it cannot determine the authenticity of Hitler's claim.
'Kukuku. I need to send a request for access to Anna's past life and Eva's current life. Also, I will send a request to Lord Er Mu as well. But I cannot contact him without completing the favor he asked of me.'
The system felt angered by how it got argued down by mere Hitler.
'I will send a request to Lord Er Mu after I give 'that person' a proper and important role in the world.
****
Hitler and Eva finished their food and rested for some time. He sent Eva back asking her to come back tomorrow.
Hitler was in a decent mood despite getting punished two times. The presence of Eva could be the reason.
Remembering that he still had one more reward left, he called the system.
"Hey system, I have one more gift right. I will make the wish specifically, and don't try to tweak it."
***Ding. Yes, you have one more reward gift left.
1x High-grade reward
But this gift is not a wish type one, but a randomly determined one.
Do you want to open and receive the reward?***
Hitler grunted his teeth in annoyance. When he could make a wish, the stupid system tweaked it in a way that makes him suffer and now the other gift is random.
Hitler for sure from his prior experience with a random draw of Assbuster knee that the system follows no random drawing. It already had a bad reward ready and use random drawing as a cover-up.
***Ding: Automatically opening 1x High Reward. Commencing random draw.***
"What the heck. I didn't tell you to open. I was never going to open it." Hitler yelled.
***Ding:
1x High-grade reward used.
Congratulations, host gained an Assistant.
Taking over the world without help and counsel is difficult, so having an Assistant partner will ease up your tensions and let you relax.***
"Assistant? What?" Hitler asked perplexedly.
***Ding: Congratulations host. Due to your incredible luck, you have received a Protagonist level Assistant.
CHEN YANG.
Congrats again."***
"What bullshit are you pulling this time?" Hitler got more irritated as this went on. "Chen What. Did I even ask for an assistant? And where is this assistant?"
***Ding: He is here already.***
Hitler got a bad premonition about this. Last time this happened, what appeared in front of him was a worm that went inside him and wreaked havoc there making him unable to sit or shit.
Even though, this time the system said its a reward, he doesn't FU©KING TRUST IT.
"I don't want one. Take it back where ever it is." Hitler adamantly said.
***Ding: System can't take back the reward without certain conditions are not met.***
"What conditions, take it back. What was it called again?"
***Ding: Your Protag level assistant is CHEN YANG. He was the main contender for taking over Roland's place instead of you.***
['Kukukukuk.' The system felt extremely happy that it could fulfill Lord Er Mu's request this fast. The stupid Hitler asked for the reward and system used the situation well to complete the requested favor on Hitler's account. Now the system caught two birds with one stone; it rewarded Hitler as well as completed Lord Er Mu's request of giving a proper role for the Lord's previously planned Main Character, Chen Yang.]
"What? Now I definitely don't need him." Hitler's fear started rising with each passing second. "Where is he? Why I can't see him?"
***Ding: Chen Yang is here. You can't see him. Because he is inside you. From now on, he shares the same body with you.***
"WHAT THE HECK. Other than the disgusting parasite I have to endure another person in this body?" Hitler felt his head was going to explode. He felt like the room spun around him as he asked himself.
"Who is this Chen Yang?"
Who saw it coming?
Please throw in your comments and reviews to show you like this work.
Next chap is my favorite idea. Something I thought initially as I made the concept and made me continue after ch:17.
Who can guess?
It answers the question asked at the end of this chapter.
Check the volume name and what it was about for clue.
If anyone can guess the answer before I release the next chapter, I will happily send you a $5 amazon gift card or something.
even though I have like 5 readers :)
