Rudeu carefully placed one of his feet down the stairs of the “Impenetrable Golden Palace of the Golden order”. An utterly ridiculous name for a ship. But he was also one of the few who held the belief that names should be shorter and smaller, similar to how the system prioritized titles. However many did not share his belief. The young master Irrant being one of them seeing as this was his ship.

  As he carefully placed each step on the stairs that were too small for his feet, he wished he had taken a trait that would allow him to shift his size. But it also seemed somewhat wasteful for the limited traits one could access, even if it was more convenient in daily life.

  The ship had not been designed for Giants or those of a larger status which was one inconvenience. A second being his normal burning red body now had a soft dark brown to it. Many found the heat his body naturally gave off to be oppressive along with Irrant himself and had subsequently ordered him to tone it down, much to his annoyance. If Irrant couldn’t handle such a basic level of heat then perhaps he should just get stronger rather than complain about it.

  He eventually stepped out onto the main bridge of the ship and cleared his throat as he stared at the messy orgy that was currently taking place “Young master” he spoke with a professionalism that was fitting his position “The bridge is not a place to be doing such acts. Might I suggest you retire to your room along with your companions so that you may better enjoy yourself and not make the rest of the crew on this bridge uncomfortable.”

  A muffled grunt came within the sea of bodies and slowly Irrant pushed his way out with an irritating grin on his face. The feathers of his wings shaking loose as one of the people in the pile tried to do some unsightly things to it “Come now Rudeu, lighten up a little. We already have the advantage after the last battle. We basically have them on the run now. The planet is as good as ours I'd say.”

  Rudeu kept his face passive despite wanting to punch the brat. “Perhaps under normal circumstances that would be true if the planet was an F-grade. The Matriel Republic will not be letting a c-grade planet go after such a minor loss. That battle as you say will be nothing more than a skirmish for what is to come. You need to start attending the war council meetings if you wish to stay informed.”

  He gave off a dismissive grunt but still clapped his hands. “Ladies, gentlemen, we will continue this in my room later. Please wait there for now.”

  Rudeu watched as his harem slowly moved off the bridge while Irrant finally put on some clothes and sat down on his command chair “You need to stop being such a stick in the mud Rudeu. I failed to see why I need to attend these War councils when I have you here to give me a summary of everything that has transpired. That is why you are here after all is it not?” The young master gave off a smug grin only making Rudeu want to punch him more.

  “That is correct.” He managed to keep his tone normal despite the bubbling irritation.

  “Excellent! So give me a summary.” he snapped his fingers and had a surf bring him a drink which he sipped with a smug face of superiority.

  Rudeu examined Irrant for but a small moment before speaking. “The main gist of the meeting was that we have sent an infiltrator down to the planet as the tutorial seems to be wrapping up. We were correct in the initial scanning and it seems the dominant local populace is human so we have sent a human down as well. The one we chose specializes in the Soul stat and has had several successful infiltrations before. They are actually from one of the Jornns side branches so we can guarantee loyalty on their part.”

  “Excellent! Oh I cannot wait until I show the patriarch all that I have accomplished. No doubt he will finally see my potential and divert the resources that have been going to my siblings and cousins to me! I can't wait to rub it into all my other family members faces.” He spat on the ground where a second serf quickly rushed in to clean it up “All wasted potential.”

  Rudeu resisted the urge to comment how literally every family member said the same thing about him and everyone else. How the patriarch's descendants were so utterly unlike him was truly baffling.

  “As you say young Lord” Was his response as he bowed.

  “And have the scouts reported anything about the Republic forces.” Irrant asked the first seemingly decent question of his life

  “Only that they are gathering for a counter attack. Unfortunately they are too deep in enemy territory and would likely lead us to overextend if we were to try and go after them now.”

  “Bah! Very well. I suppose I'll just have to entertain myself until the cowards finally decide to come out and play.” he strutted his way past Rudeu. “ If anyone needs me I'll be in my personal chambers.”

  Rudeu gave a bow as he left before turning a sharp gaze towards several of Irrants servants who froze stiffly at his attention. “You are to report to me should he try to go anywhere or do anything. Any orders he might try and give are to be gone through me before they are to be carried out. Now go.”

  They scrambled past him, he made sure to glare down at each one as they did. One of the nice benefits of being a fire giant was it certainly added to his intimidation factor. He only hoped Irrant didn't do anything too irrational before he had a chance to stop it. Sometimes he wondered if the benefits given by the Jornns patriarch was even worth all of this trouble.

  Micheal was transported out of the tutorial point store and back in his high-rise office overlooking New York. He felt good. Better than he had in a while. He took a deep breath to savor this moment as he lifted up his new weapon, a decorative sword with a dark purple glow along the edge of its blade.

  It had cost him almost all of his tutorial points but it was well worth it, there was no way a single other person had gotten enough points to get a D-grade weapon.

  He also knew that with such a weapon he would very easily snowball himself to the strongest person on this planet by a large margin. Then he would take his rightful place as the ruler of this planet. He always knew he was destined for even greater things than just being the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Now it was time to take his destiny for himself.

  He threw a glance over at the second object that had been obtained within the tutorial itself.

  Human spawner-low quality (upgradable)

  G-rank

  Claimed by Micheal Anderson

  Can spawn 60 unranked level 1 humans or 25 G-rank level 5 humans or 1-G rank level 24 humans every 24 hours

  Time remaining until the next spawn- 3 hours and 29 minutes

  This was the one thing that had allowed him to massively gain an advantage when he had entered the tutorial. He had not only used many of the spawns to level himself up personally. But then also used them as the proper tools they were to help subdue and kill any of his opposition and monsters.

  The system clearly believed in his potential. The tutorial guides had told him as much when the system gave him his very own title.

  Title: Supreme All Powerful King Of The Heavenly And Earthly Realms.

  They had told him over and over again how insanely rare a title was and only given to the most talented and gifted of any individual. For it to even show up on a planet that was freshly integrated only showed his amazing talents.

  He continued to look out the window as he collected his thoughts. One of the first things he was going to need to do was continue to level up. He would need to find the best and most capable people to form a party. Probably would look over and take his pick of the individuals once everyone had gotten down to the main building's lobby.

  Those were his expressed orders to everyone once they came back out of the tutorial and he knew they would all obey. It was thanks to him that so many had made it out alive and now every single one owed him their lives. So he expected nothing less but unquestionable loyalty.

  He adjusted his fancy looking armor and made sure to clean up his look so that he was the most presentable he could have been and then stepped outside of his office where his secretary was currently sitting with a very dazed look on her face.

  “I can't believe we're actually back.” she muttered and he almost wanted to roll his eyes at her comment but still took on the persona of the charismatic leader and gave her a smile

  “Of course we are back. I promised you didn't I? Just like I promised everyone. Now let us hurry, everyone else is probably headed towards the main lobby right now and I must address my people.”

  She nodded and took back on her professional look and stood up. “With you all the way sir.”

  He nodded back to her, glad that the laps of professionalism didn't last too long and stepped out of the door. It was a shame he had to leave his spawner behind for this brief moment but he knew nobody would dare try to make a go for it without suffering the immense consequences so he wasn’t worried too much. Though he did make note to install guards for it as soon as possible.

  Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  Along the way they passed several people he recognized were part of the tutorial that they were in. He believed some of his younger staff called them “Tutorial NPCs” which they apparently got from video games.

  Micheal was glad several were already nearby and he quickly gestured for them to follow him as they had also sworn their allegiance to him. They would prove highly valuable in navigating this new universe they were in since they had once been a part of it. Granted they failed and were blessed with a second chance and that is why they were in the tutorial. But any advice would be good advice when they knew so little.

  The elevators didn't work, that was no surprise, so they began to take the stairs. Slowly gathering more and more people who are also heading downwards all giving space to him so that he may lead them from the front. He heard many mutterings amongst them. He had built quite a reputation within the tutorial after all, even single-handedly killing the Main boss monster within.

  Eventually they made it down to the main lobby of the building and already some of his subordinates had set up a platform for him to stand on which he did and looked out at the crowd of people who slowly gathered more and more.

  “Ladies and gentlemen!” he spoke out with a commanding voice after the crowd had finally stopped trickling in.

  “We Have all gone through a lot and you have supported me through thick and thin. I now ask for your continued support. Out there things are devolving into Anarchy and chaos. It is our job to bring Law and Order. I, as your leader, shall take this upon myself and bring about safety and security to all under my rule.”

  The hopeful glimmer and everyone's eyes as they looked upon him as their leader brought about immense satisfaction. Already he could hear sounds of battle outside of their building. This would be the perfect opportunity and the very first steps of a new world order all under his rule.

  Venill stumbled briefly as she left the tutorial point shop and nearly spat out a curse before quickly looking around to ensure no hostiles were near and to take stalk of her surroundings.

  There were multiple small buildings surrounding her, if she were to hazard a guess she assumed she was in some kind of residential area based on stuff she had heard the locals talk about.

  She scowled down at the dress she was forced to wear. The system made her play the part of a powerless princess in a struggling Kingdom, likely delighting in the irony of that. She couldn't believe the system threw her into a storied dungeon. And worse off it actually gave her the part of a princess. It was beyond insulting.

  A loud bang snapped her out of her thoughts and she quickly brandished the unranked Rapier she bought from the tutorial store. Because of how she had to play a useless princess she couldn't buy anything worth a damn and this was the best thing she had.

  Thankfully the loud bang was from one of the house's doors getting thrown open by one of the locals. The bad news was she knew which local it was.

  “Princess Venill! I am so glad we were brought back into our world so close together!” The middle-aged man came running towards her, whose name was Nick. He was holding a makeshift wooden staff to improve his lackluster spellcasting.

  It was just her luck, not only had this creep spawned into the throne room where she was forced to play her part. The system had forbidden her from killing any of the locals even by accident since she was supposed to be a helpless princess. One of the reasons why she had so few tutorial points was because she kept screwing up that act too.

  “Not to worry! I promise on my life to keep you safe and cared for. for I-”

  “Did you get what I requested?” She tried really hard to keep up the act for just a little bit longer but her patience with the man had worn out long before the tutorial ended.

  He blinked with confusion for a second before recognition finally seemed to cross his smoothed out brain “I did, but you do not need to worry about leveling up, I will be the one who will fight and kill any monster or bandit who will try to do you harm!”

  She realized he was about to go on another rant about how great of a guy he was and how she was his perfect ideal woman so she quickly cut him off while trying to play the sweet innocent princess “Oh but just in case right? Plus the higher level I am, the longer I'll be able to live and be with you.” She nearly gagged at the last part of that sentence.

  He seemed to realize that she had a point and quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out the exp Crystal quickly handing it to her. “For you my love.” He said with an infatuated gaze as she quickly took it from him, suppressing the shiver as he tried to brush hands with her.

  “I spent as many of my tutorial points to get it for you as possible. I don't know how much-” he continued ranting and she tuned him out as she began sucking the experience from the crystal into herself and watched the system notifications pop up until they ended with her being at level 4 and got her system quest.

  Rank up Quest

  Kill Nick

  She almost burst into laughter at that. Even the system hated this guy it seemed.

  “Princess Venill?” he looked at her with confusion.

  “Tell me Nick, what level were you again?”

  “Ah! I am level 8” he said with horribly misplaced pride but that was good. Getting the achievement Apex was harder the higher the rank you got.

  With a flash of her Rapier she's skewered the annoying bastard through the eye and out through the back of the skull. Killing him instantly and achieving her rank up Quest along with the achievement “Apex”. Now it would just be a matter of picking whatever class she was offered and she shouldn't have to worry too much about achievements for a little bit.

  The Apex achievement gave her 25 levels and the achievement she got as a tutorial guide boosted her by another 15. Plus she knew of some easy but also obscure achievements that should get her even further but for now her priority was leveling up and reclaiming some of the skills she had lost when she made the deal with the system.

  However, before she could take another step further. the system popped up in front of her face again with another quest.

  You have received a Multi-stage Quest!

  Revenge against those who wronged you

  First stage: Need a lot of help?

  To swear of vengeance against those who wronged you is commonplace. Swearing Vengeance against one of the three most powerful people who rules one of the three strongest kingdoms in the Multiverse is insane. Lucky for you, there just happens to be a local who might be crazy enough to help in both short and long-term.

  Objective- find Quill Grey

  reward upon completion- receive the next stage of your quest.

  you automatically fail this Quest if you give up on your vengeance. No penalty will be applied.

  She read the quest, then she read it again, then she read it a third time just to make sure she wasn't misreading or imagining things. She knew her oath of vengeance was a long shot. Many had tried to walk her path before and all had failed. But the system gave her a quest. The system seemed to believe she actually had a chance and it all seemed to all hinge on whomever this local was!

  The system even gave her flavor text showing that it truly believed in her and believed in her cause!

  Her original plan of laying low and slowly gaining levels was instantly thrown out the window. She needed to find this person and convince him to help her. She didn't know why the system was so keen on blessing her like this but she didn't care. So long as she killed that man it didn't matter.

  A surge of determination rushed through her. She had a path, now it was time to follow it.

  * * * * * * * * * * * *

  Heinfell touched down on the ground and took a sigh of relief. This was his third time infiltrating a world and it was always worrisome during the initial landing. He had heard of the system taking control of the teleportation and dropping an infiltrator down into an area where they would surely be killed if it took notice.

  He briefly looked around to get used to his surroundings. He appeared to be in some kind of desert; he was going to have to find the nearest civilization as soon as he could to help orient himself and figure out the best course of action.

  Sitting down on the sand and closing his eyes, he got ready to conduct one of his skills. This was one reason why he was such a good infiltrator. It allowed him to detect sentient and living things from hundreds of miles away and every time that skill leveled up it would increase his distance. He had used this skill multiple times in his previous infiltrations to locate key targets and kill them, leading the planet to be headless with anyone of worth as he propped up a puppet ruler.

  After a few minutes his skill managed to tell him that there was a small group of people about 237 miles east of him. A small trip. While his body and mind stat were much lower than the average D-grade. He was still marks above any local on this planet by a long shot. So he doubted the trip would be of any issue with physical prowers.

  He remembered the briefing stating that this was a C-grade planet, but the areas that had E, D, and C grade monsters were still quarantined and would slowly be released over time so he wasn't worried about running into anything particularly strong. Even if that were the case, most monsters were weak to soul attacks so he still had an advantage.

  As he got up and dusted some of the sand off of him, a system notification caught him by surprise and a vague sense of terror washed over him. The system shouldn't know he had done an infiltration, and while he would get basic stuff like experience and kill notifications, those were usually automatic. The system initiating a notification meant the system knew he was here.

  He remained frozen waiting for some kind of punishment, forced teleportation, or deadly monsters to suddenly show up. When none came he, with trepidation, opened his notification and read it.

  You have received a quest!

  Assassinate the strongest local

  You don’t need to know the details. All you need to know is the job.

  Objective: Kill Quill Grey

  Reward upon completion- The planet will automatically be awarded to you and you shall be given a noble status while also being elevated to the rank of Baron.

  Heinfell dropped on his ass in an undignified way. Never had he gotten a quest that held flavor text. So the system knew he was here and was choosing not to do anything. In fact it was giving him an opportunity. An opportunity that he knew he rightly deserved but thought he would never get through his entire lifetime.

  If he just killed this one local, not only would he be awarded the planet, but he would become nobility too. He wouldn't just be the 19th son of a man whose grandfather was a Cadet branch leader of the Jornns family. He'd actually make something of himself! And what would be even better is he would be a Noble then. He'd be elevated and out of the Jornns shadow and under the protection of the Kin Kingdom. He'd even own a c-grade planet!

  He licked his lips, this was it. This was everything he worked for! It was time to claim what was rightfully his.

  He turned towards the east. He needed to find this Quill Grey as soon as possible and no matter the cost.
