"My lord, please spare us. I haven't seen my family in a month." One of the chefs in the bakery said he had dark lines under his eyes and a malnourished body.
"My fiancé thought I died and married another man, whom should I say my sadness to?" Another said.
"Please, give us freedom. I beg of you," Another said, Luke, looking at the state of this poor worker, just sighed and said
"I have another project for you" He was met with cries of pain and groans when he added "but taking your request into consideration and you work on my previous project, I will give you a break for a month. Take this and enjoy yourself," he said, throwing each of them a pouch of gold coins. One gold coin was enough for a family of 6 to live a decent life for a year, a pouch–10 gold coins makes you a millionaire. 'I really need to talk to the emperor on creating a banking system but that's impossible right now since Claudia is going to break off our engagement' He thought of ways to create a banking empire, he didn't want the economy to collapse right now since it going to destroy his profits and he can't ask the government so there is nothing he can do about it, but as the owner of Niven he can convince the emperor but that would require him to open his identity to the public.
[ Host, it seems you forgot about me]
'Oh, Shit.' Luke mentally assaulted himself for forgetting such an important issue and said "Damn it. This is just great,"
[Don't worry, host. As for your amazing system, I copied the princess power already.]
Luke was surprised at this, but immediately smiled and said, "You are the best, System. I want to change your name to the best system to have. If there is a review for the multiversal travel system, I would give you 5 stars."
[No need for so much praise, host. I already know I am awesome. Anyway, say 'roll' to get the skill and tier.]
"Ok, Roll," Luke said as he looked at the screen where a number was being generated, and when it stopped, it showed a '4'.
[Congratulations, host. You have gained a tier 4 and C rank skill. If you wish to roll again, just say roll. Remaining rolls: 4]
"Roll," Luke said without hesitation, '4 is not a good number, it must be at least 7 or above' He thought.
[Congratulations, host. You have gained a tier 7 and S rank skill. If you wish to roll again, just say roll. Remaining rolls: 1]
'I think I can pull a 9, remember 99% of gamblers quit before they win big.' Luke mentally prepared himself for the biggest gamble of his life. "Roll"
[Congratulations, host. You have gained a tier 2 and E rank skill. If you wish to roll again, just say roll. Remaining rolls: 2]
[Congratulations, host. You have gained a tier 1 and F rank skill. If you wish to roll again, just say roll. Remaining rolls: 1]
'Oh shit, You gotta be kidding me right? Please, God, Krishna, Buddha, Zeus, Odin, Allah, give me some luck' He thought as he then said "Roll."
[Congratulations, host. You have gained a tier 8 and SS rank skill. If you wish to roll again, just say roll. Remaining rolls: 0]
'Thank you, I guess.' He mentally thanked God as he looked at this statue again and saw the new addition to the team.
[ Affinity: Fire (Tier-8)
Skills: Star Fire (SS-rank): Fire that ignited the sun and all other stars. This fire is caused when the star explodes or by the power of the sun. Additionally, it gains different powers when it is day and at night. When it is day, it turns yellow and red and can't be put out with normal water, and while it is night, the fire turns blue and green, and it spreads faster and on any surface, whether metal or wood, even magic is not safe.]
Luke was satisfied with what he got, but still wanted an SSS-rank skill and tier 9, but he made that decision to upgrade later on when he got more rolls. He was going when Samuel saw him and called out to him, "Lukas, *huff* *huff*."
"What happened, dude?" Luke asked as he brought him water. He drank it and then said
"The royal princess is back again and is asking to talk to you."
Luke raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh, but why do you have to react like this?" He asked.
"Well, when she came in she looked like she was crying a while ago." Samuel said and then glared at him, "Hurting a lady is not good my lord. I am sure you don't mean it but I would ask you to apologize to her before I make you" He finished by drawing a wooden sword, Luke flinched at the sight of the wooden sword he had been brutally trained with it causing a long standing PTSD to wooden swords.
"I swear, I didn't do anything," Luke said as he backed up when Samuel basically dragged him into the room with the princess and went outside. He said as he was going.
"Princess, if he makes you sad again, please tell me, I will make sure to 'discipline' my friend."
Meanwhile, Luke just gave him a side eye. "Aren't you supposed to be my knight?" He said, but Samuel left the room already. Luke just sighed and took the sight of the princess again, who was now laughing at Luke and Samuel. She does look like she cried earlier. Now what the hell happened in the church of light?' Luke thought.
"Um…What is this visit about?" Luke asked, immediately dampening the mood as she went back into sad mode again. The look of hurt plastered over her beautiful face could make any man want to apologize for his actions or want to protect her. Except for Luke, who looked at her with not a single pity on him as he said, "Are you going to keep crying? Or are you going to tell me? Because if you are going to keep crying, I have work to do."
'He doesn't even have a shred of pity,' She thought. Claudia was shocked that her beauty trick didn't even get a reaction, but unknown of her. Luke went through middle and high school filled with the worst hoes on the planet, He is immune to lust and beauty tricks. She finally gave up and screamed at him with tears in her eyes, "You! How can you let a girl cry like this without even bothering to show sympathy?"
Hearing her scream, Samuel, who was reading outside the door with a sword drawn, kicked in and took one look at the scene. Luke, who was first surprised, then petrified at how this situation looked, immediately tried to explain, "It is not what it–" he was hit with the sword, pushing up only to get hit with the 230 combo strike, knocking him unconscious.
