My King System

You see with everything I've said so far, everything's just falling into place. You use the heads of the monsters and combine them with your ability which uses the monster heads to give you a certain percentage of exp. Using that exp, you go inside the dungeons and kill monsters to get a lot of silver and pay all the people who bring the monster heads, in turn creating an infinite cycle."

"The only question now is how you started all of this which I also figured out. You see, your first ability was most likely one which would make you change the thoughts of others. Using it, you influenced large media corporations like 'GNE' to give you front page headlines about how you were an up and coming big shot. With that fake news established, you knew that you would have some recognition which leads into the next step. After having gained some popularity, you used the media outlets once again to spread word that you were starting a clan. In doing so, many people wanted to start working for you which is why you waited exactly 2 weeks before you started handing out quests due to you needing to change your ability. Once you were able to start the quest system though, you were well on your way to becoming a leach which presents itself like some kind of strong hero," Yuki explained.

"Wow. Completely read like a book. So tell me now, how were you able to find all of this out?" Arthur asked as he let out a sigh of defeat.

"Well, I had a general suspicion from the beginning and even thought about asking around about some of this information but another idea came to my head, that being that maybe you're not acting on your own. I suspected that I wouldn't have been the first person to think that there was something off. Which wouldn't make sense since you would've been exposed by now. That was when I played it safe and changed my ability to be that which could tell me exactly what took place during the creation of your clan. With something that specific being my ability, I was able to get an exact and detailed piece of knowledge. Through that, I managed to learn that you have an ability cast on everyone in the guild which when they get too close to finding out the truth, they forget everything," Yuki replied. 

"If you knew that, why are you the only one who didn't forget?" Arthur asked. 

"Well, there's a loophole just like with many abilities. The ability cast makes people forget when they get too close to finding out the truth. My ability is one which is alway active which means that as long as I don't change my ability a cycle will occur. That cycle being that every time I forget about what took place during the creation of this guild, I will automatically remember it because of my ability, in turn making your protective system useless," said Yuki.

"So is this the end of the road for me? Are you going to turn me in? I mean it's not like I can kill you and if I resist, you can just kill me at any time. Tell me Yuki Kaito, what is your next move?" Arthur asked. 

"You know, it's a bit difficult for me right now because I don't have something specific in mind. There isn't a single thing which I want to work for. I have no end goal other than becoming the first level 100 player. At the rate I'm going at, I will still be able to keep up with the competition and still have time to spare. I'm just not sure what I should do with the free time that I have," Yuki replied to Arthur. 

"Why don't you just go inside dungeons constantly? It seems like you're not scared to die so just go inside the dungeons and level up faster than anyone. I mean, that way, you would reach your one and only goal faster than everyone else. That would theoretically be true but you know it yourself. There is still something which is holding you back. There is a reason why you choose to stay behind, all you have to do is search for what that is," Arthur said. 

"Are you some kind of therapist?" Yuki asked in a confused voice which made Arthur laugh. 

"No but that is a close guess. In the previous world, I used to be a psychologist. It may even be the reason which I've learned to plan out for almost everyone. It used to be everything until you showed up which is why I said almost everything," Arthur replied. 

"I'll tell you what, if you want, how about working in the top 5 of my clan? I no longer have a reason to try to compete against you. I now understand why you've yet to die even though you've done some pretty messed up stuff. If you work for me, you'll have something to do when you're bored and I can continue with what I'm doing," said Arthur. 

"What makes you think I would work for you? Plus, why would I allow you to grow in power?" Yuki asked as if Arthur was some kind of crazy person. 

"Well the answer is simple. You don't have anything else to do which is why you woke up late as shown by the dark circles under your eyes and the way your eyes are slowly blinking as if you just woke up. I mean there isn't a single person in this world who would wake up in the middle of the afternoon if they had anything to take care of, no matter how insignificant the task may be. I'm basically saying that you don't have a life," said Arthur. 

"As for your second question, you can just take missions which don't require you to go to high level dungeons so I'll only gain a small bit of exp. To add on, the rate which you and I level up is vastly different. I'm still at level 44 while you've managed to go from level 21 to level 27 in only 2 weeks. You should already know that you'll be able to surpass me soon enough since I don't actually go inside dungeons myself," Arthur finished. 

"I guess that's fair. You're honestly right, I actually don't have much to do so I guess I'll spend my days hanging around with you. However, don't be mistaken as I will take trips towards the dungeons so that I can level up as well. You have a passive exp income system while I have to manually grind so it's only right," Yuki explained. 

"That's fine by me. Since you've already agreed to join me, how about we go to the castle and I show you some of the cool stuff I have?" Arthur offered. 

"Sure," Yuki replied as the two began to walk towards the castle-like building in the middle of the kingdom. 

...

"Hey, where did Yuki run off to?" Scar asked. 

"Oh did he actually leave? I thought he was just kidding. Now I kinda feel bad for ignoring," Avila replied.

"Don't worry, he won't be in any danger. He can take care of himself," Scar told Avila as he tried to reassure her. 

"No, that's not what I meant. Don't you think he's a little quiet sometimes? The only time he talks is when things get serious or he's putting up a fake front to accomplish a task," Avila replied. 

"Now that you mention it, he seems a bit odd. A bit more unusual than most kids his age. I mean he learned to kill literally in his first week in this world and he continued to do so. He even killed a whole army on his own and was unfazed by his actions," Scar replied to Avila. 

"Wait really?! I didn't know he started off that early! It even took me quite a while to murder monsters even though they're not human," Avila replied. 

"No way! I actually forgot that most people don't know about the crimes that Yuki has commited! I almost exposed him as if it was nothing but a usual subject to talk about. I got so lucky this time. I should watch my mouth since this type of luck doesn't happen twice," Scar said to himself as he was scared to death. 

"Yes, same with me. As for Yuki, he was always different. It's like there's something which allows him to shut off all sense of morality he has and do whatever he likes without a fear of consequences. At times it feels like arrogance but in other cases, it just seems like confidence," Scar replied as he tried to hide his tracks. 

"Well, whatever it is, I'm glad that Yuki is on our side and isn't a bloodthirsty serial killer. Imagine humanity had to deal with a devil like that?" Avila asked with a smile. 

"I'm glad too..." Scar replied with a fake smile of his own.
