Everyone Else Has a System

\'If it is important, she will explain it to us later anyway,\' I thought as Dion and I followed her. We then kept moving for another few minutes or so and reached a lavish looking building. Watching her move inside,we too followed behind her and finally reached the reception. Zuriel takes out a silver card and talks with the receptionist, who at first seemed normal but becomes quite shocked as she turns to look at us. Looking down on us as if we were trash, she then turned towards Zuriel again as she shook her head with slight irritation but then Zuriel spoke something as she glared angrily at that receptionist.

The receptionist gulps in fear as she looks at Zuriel carefully before observing us again… and then curling her lips, making a disgusted expression and then turning back at Zuriel as she clenches her hand and reluctantly gives out the keys of the rooms and a paper.

\'Didn\'t know that power influences people here so much…\' I thought as I observed the behaviour of that lady there. Though I could care less about people that I have nothing to do with… yawning at the whole process, I then patiently waited for Zuriel to finish the paperwork.

Hastily, she finished the paperwork before moving towards us as she apologised,"Sorry for the wait. Let\'s go now," and then all three of us moved towards the room under the narrowed gaze of that receptionist.

Following Zuriel, we reached in front of the room where I, along with Dion, will be staying for the time being. Zuriel opened the door, and we entered to find a lavish room filled with all sorts of machinery and artefacts.

There were fancy lights and a huge bed which looked very comfortable. There was a small library and a study corner where you could peacefully study or research without any disturbance. Looking at the atmosphere, there probably was an artefact installed here to maintain the ambience and temperature of this place. All in all, it was a comfortable place where one could relax properly and replenish their energy.

I then walked towards the bathroom and it had a small bathtub filled with a light red-coloured liquid with a sweet, soothing fragrance. The dim lights and the black-coloured walls with gold lining gave a unique appearance to the bathroom.

\'Guess I could finally enjoy a long and relaxing bath,\' I smiled as I observed the whole bathroom before moving towards the inside of the room. The bedroom was an open bedroom with another door connected to it, that led to a small kitchen where one could cook and stuff.

After that I checked a few other miscellaneous things and in the end I was totally satisfied with the services provided in this place. There was little that I could ask for in this situation and all I wanted now was for Zuriel to go back so that I can enjoy my peace and quiet here for the next few hours.

Zuriel looked at me silently without making a move and I too gazed at her. I was wondering what she was thinking right now, but before I could ask, she spoke first,"I guess I should leave now. You can call me using this." she gave me a device that looked like a ball with a strange property of absorbing mana into it.

"Just apply mana to it and I will come here as fast as I can," she spoke before bowing a little and then disappearing from here.

A mischievous smile formed on my face as I immediately applied mana into it and yup, she appeared right in front of me as she said she would.

"What?" she asked, a bit confused, and I chuckled a little before speaking,"nothing… I was just checking if it really works or not," and then making my way towards the comfy bed. I could feel the piercing gaze of her before it vanished completely. Dion watched everything as he held his smile before moving with me.

"Dion, go take a bath and then sleep. There is something I want to discuss with you later on," I spoke as I turned to Dion and he looked deeply into my eyes with a slight question filled expression.

I didn\'t explain anything further but directly went to the bed where I began unpacking a few materials that I brought from my world along with things I picked up in this world during our adventures.

I heard the splashes of water indicating that Dion got into the bathtub and I nodded as I immersed myself in my own work. While I do need to talk with Dion, let\'s not push things. All the more because we are dealing with a child here. I wonder what information he holds and how much I can use it to achieve my own goal.

From there onwards, I began crafting a few small artefacts and stuff to initiate a small plan, that I must push forward in order to avoid any unnecessary conflicts with the people present here, and that is to win the hearts of the people here.

People literally look at me as if I were some trash and the fact that I don\'t want to show my powers to the general public unless and until required was making things a tad bit more difficult for me.

Though what I can really do is use my healing magic freely, all the more because it is considered a rarity here. Especially Light magic, which can make up for my \'lack\' of power. I should take it another step and create some artefacts and stuff, which aren\'t present here in this world, so that my image could get even more better with them.

\'Though this method has its own flaws… but if I could show them I can fight using artefacts as much as an average person here, I guess this would make things quite smoother for me,\' I thought as I ruminate what kind of artefact would be best here.

From that point onwards, I got really engrossed in my work. While I did want to sleep, the fact that Hygeia was constantly healing me kind of washed away all the fatigue and if I were to sleep or relax at this point, it would just be for the sake of sleeping, I suppose.

\'Should I call Hygeia and talk to her about Nyx? I kind of am interested in their relationship and what exactly is the deal between them…. Hmmm… let\'s wait for sometime. I have ample time here,\' I pondered, and finally decided not to call Hygeia today.

I don\'t know how much time it took, but by the time I was done, I saw Dion was already sound asleep in the bed. Watching him sleep peacefully put a small smile on my face as I wondered if I had a little brother, would things be similar to as it is now?

I could only think about it, though. Then I moved towards the bath and proceeded to take a relaxing bath because I kind of wanted to take it despite not being tired at all at the moment.

Inside the bathroom, I had just entered the bathtub before I felt a head falling on my shoulder as someone else joined the bath with me. I didn\'t need to turn to see who it was, because I already knew.

"You didn\'t call me out here," she spoke in a half complaining half sulking voice and I kinda felt odd as I compared my time with the Hygeia of my world and this world.

"I was thinking of doing that from tomorrow," I said without turning towards her and she then got up from my shoulder and walked to stand in front of me. I gazed at her stark naked body. She looked like she was in her early 20s and honestly, I couldn\'t help but have dirty thoughts about her at this moment… and honestly, looking at her face… it didn\'t seem like she\'d mind if I did anything to her.

"Well… how about you do something today?" She licked her lower lip as she observed my naked body closely and I gulped a little at her bold moves which she was making one after another.

\'Is she really… in the mood right now?\' I thought, as I couldn\'t help but feel the rush of adrenaline inside my body.
