Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 284 Preparations In Netherrealm: The King Of Sloth

"I, Princess Kurti of the Red Demons, pledge my life and loyalty to you. My lord, Reaper."

I observed her kneeling in front of me. I had an astonished expression on my face before that turned into a bright smile.

"Excellent!! I will then give you your first task!" I spoke with an excited tone, making her look at me with a doubt-filled look before sighing and speaking,"yes, my lord."

After that I began telling her what she needs to do and..

"My lord. Pardon my bluntness but f*ck you!! No way am I going to do something like that!!" She spoke in pure annoyance as she looked at me with a bit of glare.

"Oi! Oi! Oi! Aren't I your lord now?! Show me some respect at least!" I had a stupefied expression on my face.

'Shouldn't she be following anything I say?'

"You want me to commit suicide the moment I got my freedom? And that too at that place? Why don't you go by yourself and do all that work while I will do your work here," she spoke, and I shook my head with a sigh.

"Well…" I then began explaining a few things I am going to do here and her gaze turned flabbergasted as she kept blinking at me in disbelief. She wanted to refute my words but with my solid reasoning she turned quite without much words.

After I finished, she just kept quiet before speaking,"but I want something in return for going to that place." Tilting my head a little, I looked at her with a bit of curious gaze as I heard her demand.

She then told me about her demand, which surprised me at first, but as I understood what she wanted, I could only smile at her.

"Sure. I guess I can do something like that," I answered her, and she smiled back before I stood up.

"You should leave by today. Also take the things I asked you to take with you, I will see you in two weeks time then," I said as I moved away from there and she bowed to me before I saw her kneeling again with a slight smile on her face and I too felt nice before moving out of that castle.

My next place was King of Sloth's Kingdom. Though, it wasn't really a kingdom but an underground den, which actually was the lab where Sloth researched the monsters and plants of Netherrealm.

Even after running for a couple of hours, I was still only halfway to that place. For Sloth, who was the fastest in the entire Netherrealm, this distance was quite short. Maybe about 15 minutes was enough to cross this distance.

I took a break as I looked in the distance at the Dark Canyon of Netherrealm, also known as the Edge of the World. It was the only place where I have not yet visited in the realm of the Nine Kingdoms.

Hmmm… that makes me wonder, how big is Netherrealm actually? Even last time, people couldn't really explore this world completely. Also, no one dared to enter the edge of the world… actually some did apparently, forcefully that is, however they never returned from down there.

'Wonder what's there…' I thought before stretching a little before running towards my destination.

Another couple of hours passed, and I finally reached the Den of Sloth, where his lab was. Moving inside, I tried recalling the way through the area, which was a bit hard at first, but soon enough when I figured out the way, I reached that place quite fast.

"Hmmm… how did you even figure it out? I thought it was more or less impossible for a normal person to enter this place… though are you even normal?" I heard a voice echoing through the place before the voice's owner came in front of me.

With the aura of death surrounding his old bones, he walked slowly, as if an old man trying his best to walk around the area. Though it made me click my tongue inward as I remember the first time I met him.

This bastard took me by surprise and almost killed me back then… though this time

-Clank!

I blocked his attack as I knew the weakness in his speed. In order to travel a distance, he needs to focus on the area where he wants to go. He can't just freely run to that place, he needs to concentrate on the destination, the way and how he will move to actually reach that place.

Simply put, if he loses the ability to think how to get to that place or if he ends up believing that he can't reach a certain place, he can never reach that place using his speed. He would need to walk slowly.

"Ho! You can read my trajectory, huh? Perhaps you really are special. Though that Light Aura on you makes me want to kill you immediately," he spoke with a deep look and I smiled before removing that completely.

"I won't need it if I want to kill you. Though, you should already have an idea of why am I here, don't you?" I asked, and he nodded before speaking.

"It's related to those Parasites. I am assuming you have a task for me like you spoke before. About how you will give me a task later on privately?"

I nodded before taking out a note that I had. It was a recipe for something that I created in my previous timeline a few years before I died. It was a really special recipe that I specifically created with only one purpose in mind.

"What's this?" he spoke as he saw me taking out that note before passing it to him. Opening that note, he looked at that recipe.

"What is this recipe?" he asked with a bit of curiosity, and I chuckled before explaining that to him. It took me a couple of minutes to finish telling him about the recipe and the answer I received from him was,

"You are even crazier than I am!"
