12 Chapter 12: The System is Here! Final

After getting back home, Robert went out of the room in order to go to the Grand hall where his mother, Astrith, was waiting.

His fatigue from before was already gone due to the spell that Ra casted on him, and their "battle" didn't really give him any injuries as it was only him attacking while Ra just didn't give a sh*t while he did it.

In short, he was basically energized. Despite this, Robert decided against running towards the Grand hall, but instead, take a leisurely walk as he needed to talk with his system about certain things considering he did not have the right opportunity to do so awhile ago.

'Megumin' Robert said as he called out in his head.

[Hai, the Greatest Archmage at your service.] Megumin replied.

'Mind explaining to me what exactly happened before? The system talked about something regarding technical difficulties, and before I knew it, the system went "offline" for awhile so to speak.' Said Robert.

[Well, the thing is...uhhhh...ehehehe....] Megumin replied meekly, and as she went further, her voice became softer.

'Spit it out. We don't have all day.' Said Robert.

[Well, as you might know, I'm the Persona of the system. What this is would be a personality or character from a certain timeline or dimension, and is adopted to the system.] Megumin said.

'Adopted?Hmmmm I see. So you're Megumin, but at the same time not Megumin from what I know. Am I right?' Robert replied.

[Yes, I'm just a Persona adopted from the Real Megumin from another dimension therefore I can be called a copy.] Megumin replied somewhat sadly.

'Hmm what do you feel about this?' Robert said somewhat worried about his system's new persona.

[Do not worry! From the information I was given, I can gain a real body in this world as long as the conditions are met.] Said Megumin as she replied to Robert .

'Conditions?Hmmm well, let's talk about this later as we're getting away from the original topic. What about that technical error I mentioned.' Robert said.

[Hai, I'm a new persona, and knowing this, I needed to be given the required info regarding the system and myself. The problem however lies with the original Megumin.] Megumin said.

'Why is that?'Robert replied.

[The original Megumin can be said to be uhmmmm not the sharpest tool in the shed. The cognitive prowess of the original is quite lacking, and the sudden influx of information was overwhelming for me as I had gotten the cognitive prowess of the original as I was based on her after all.] Megumin said.

Robert was quite amused hearing Megumin talk with such a complicated vocabulary.

'Hmmm I understand. Now tell me more about the system.' Robert said.

[So far the system is at Level 1. You have access to the basic information and abilities of the system. This includes basic advice and analysis. Other functions will also be added, and the existing function will be upgraded as the level goes up. The level can increase through quests though you have to wait until you are 6 years older due to quest requirements. Also, the conditions for my real body needs the level of the system to be at level 10.] Said Megumin.

'Can I see my stats?' Said Robert after thinking for awhile.

[Yep!] Replied Megumin.

'Hmmmm why is it.....so simple?' Robert said.

[Sadly, system does not a more comprehensive statistic of your abilities at its current level :( . ] Megumin said sadly.

'Hmmmm fine. At least we have a system now. I'll check the other features later as we're already at the Grand hall.' Said Robert.

Robert arrived at the Grand hall. As he came in, he noticed his mother who was talking with some of the guests. He began approaching his mother, but as he took his first step, his mother suddenly turned her head to face him.

The turn happened quickly, and took Robert by surprise causing him to stay rooted in place. Astrith then began to move towards Robert slowly.

Robert started to sweat. He was feeling fear, but he couldn't understand why. He could also the guests around freezing in place. It seemed as if they also felt fear suddenly.

Astrith finally approached Robert wearing a smile that seemed to emit a spine chilling feeling.

"My dear son....Would you mind telling me where Mister Ra is?" Astrith said in a calm voice while the air around her seemed to distort.

'Oh sh*t, MOTHER IS P*SSED!' Robert thought.

"H-he should be w-with father i-in my room." Robert said while stuttering from fear.

"Hmmmm I see. Well, I'll be back soon my dear son. It would be nice if you would stay put here. Mother needs to go in order to do some business somewhere. I'll be back in a few minutes." Astrith said as she walked of the Grand hall.

After she left, one can hear several breaths of relief around the area in the Grand hall.

"Dear me, even though her highness seemed to have mellowed down after marrying the Demon king, she still has that scariness from her youth." A guest said.

"Indeed, I remember when she was still nicknamed as the "Demonic Nightmare" back in the days. The way she terrorized her enemies....ugh it gives me shivers just thinking about it." Another guest said.

"Shhhh stop gossiping now. What if her highness hears us, and comes back?" Another guest said.

Similar whispers and talks could be heard in the hall. Hearing all this, Robert swallowed his saliva. Why does it seem like his mother was more fitting to become a Demon King than his father?

To be continued....
