Chapter 36 - Noona Fantasy

Shaking useless thoughts out of his head he looked up and saw the two beautiful women standing awkwardly.

He motioned for them to sit, and like two little puppies, the girls sat down in front of him demurely hugging their pretty legs.

Kiel sighed and said:

"In these times, Beauty without power is a crime. 

What was going to happen could actually be worse than what you imagined.

Remember that humans could be worse than beasts.

Both of you are mine, but I won't carry useless bagages.

The current you are pitiful, you need to be stronger, fast.

I will show you how to get enough power to protect yourself.

It won't be easy, you will bleed, hurt and I will push you to the very limit.

If you prove to be useless, then there is that. Natural selection.

I'll not waste my time.

But if you can improve and keep up,

I promise to bring you to height's you never imagined.

This is your last chance. Do you want to stay or leave?

Regardless of your choice, remember this, there are no second chances and you will not get this offer or opportunity ever again."

Kiel looked at the two girls calmly and quietly.

Xue Er was pretty straightforward, she looked at Kiel straight in his eyes and replied:

"You saved me, protected my dignity, my life and gave me my revenge. 

I could never pay you back for all those.

I fully understand what you did, what you saved me from. 

I will never forget that. I will use my life to pay you back.

You are not my charming prince on white horse.

But, like i said:

From now and forever, I am yours."

Soeyoon was initially hesitating, but after hearing Xue Er's proclamation, she seemed to understand something and she turned to look at Xue Er with a deep gaze before looking at Kiel and announced while blushing:

"I had promised you I'll do whatever you want. Anything you want."

With her head bowing down. Showing a part of the wonderful white twin mountain.

Kiel almost bled through his nose but managed to collect himself. Somewhat pissed, he scolded:

"Stop acting. I want a good assistant. Not a useless, pretty pet."

Soeyoon's blushed fiercely and replied that she would work hard shyly while Xue Er was looking at her with disdain and whispered a word under her breath:

"Fox"

Kiel was frustrated. The two girls seemed to hate each other's gut. His fantasy of…. NO! He is an upright and good man..

He cast "Basic Heal(D)" on Soeyoon's shoulder and the burn marks instantly recovered.

He could see Soeyoon's eyes were sparkling when she looked at him.

Feeling that he had said enough, he decided to first register their relationship.

Kiel then called out to the system:

"Register relationship:

Lord: 

Kiel Sinclair

Servant:

Li Bing Xue

Kim Soeyoon."

The two girls perked up, it seemed that the system had prompted them to be Kiel's servant.

A Lord-Servant relationship was where one completely dominated another.

But the servant must be a willing party before it can be set.

Soeyoon's bright eyes seemed to dim a little while Xue Er accepted the relationship contract without hesitation.

Soon, Soeyoon eventually accepted her fate and affirmed the relationship contract proposed by the tower system.

Once they accepted. The system prompted again:

"Lord-servant relationship established.

The Lord holds complete power over servants' experience gained, life and death.

As the first to establish this relationship, lord was awarded the:

"Master's Ring(S): allow the Lord to summon a designated Servant regardless of distance. 5s cast, Mana 100""

A black ring with a gold crown carving appeared on his right pinky finger. 

Kiel held his hands up and admired it for a second. Damn, he felt like a mafia boss now. 

Should he get the girls to kiss the ring? 

Looking up, he saw the girls' complicated expressions.

Kiel felt a little awkward and decided against it.

Maybe next time.

Feeling bad at the girls' wronged expressions, he started to second guess his decision of forcing the relationship.

But he quickly discarded such thoughts.

They chose this, he convinced himself 

Kiel smiled at the girls and nodded.

"I'm a fair guy, be good, you won't regret it."

Wait, that came out wrong. Shit. Forget it.

He then decided to proceed to form a group:

"Group Formation:

Leader: Kiel Sinclair

Team members:

Li Bing Xue

Kim Soeyoon"

This time, the rules were more relaxed as group members could leave the group anytime they wish. 

The girls' expressions were noticeably better and both of them accepted the group invite this time without hesitation.

The system promptly replied:

"Congratulations, Group established. 

Your group can now attempt the same tower level together.

As the first to form Group, each group members are awarded with an item:

"Friendship Ring(S): can share damage and sense where the other wearers are. (Active)"

3 identical rings appeared on each of their left hand ring fingers. 

The girls looked at the ring on their finger with curiosity and when they saw the identical rings on the others' fingers, the atmosphere turned pink and awkward.

Feeling uncomfortable at the long silence, Kiel asked them for their status.

Xue Er reported that she was fine.

"I mean your exact stats"

Kiel asked again, annoyed.

He saw Soeyoon sniggers but at the same time she also seemed confused.

Kiel then realised no one knew about the status windows yet.

He patiently explained:

"Focus your intent to the tower system, then asked for your status by calling out "Status""

The two girls followed his instructions to the letter and gasped as the status windows popped up in front of them. Unfortunately, Kiel still could see nothing.

On second thought, the status window was something very personal, but as their Lord Kiel should be able to see that too. 

So he tried:

It worked. He could see everything. Well… not that kind of everything sadly. Would have been nice though… Kiel thought to himself.

'No, I'm not that kind of demented pervert,' Kiel scolded himself internally.

He looked at the still occupied girls guiltily and proceeded with Soeyoon's:

Only after having someone to compare with did he realise how far and fast he had grown.

'NO!!! Must not be distracted!!!' Kiel almost slapped himself to pull himself back from his stray thoughts.

*Noona = older girls in Korean. Kiel was a nerd, don't mind him knowing these terms.
