The First Challenge

As soon as I was in the vicinity of the demon village, a notification showed up. It was an emergency. After the task got modified and the system told me to follow the instructions, red lines appeared again and red coloured subtitles also showed up.

I was convinced that it was telling me to say the same words that were being shown. I entered the village and was immediately welcomed by the shape point of a spear.

A human being, except with horns was pointing a spear at me. I was not expecting to see a human being. But it was not the case. It was a demon.

My father told me that demons looked scary and I should avoid them as much as possible.

(Please follow the instructions.)

The system requested me. So, I looked at the subtitles and started doing things the system told me to do.

"(In a way showing that he was superior) Call your master. I want to talk to him." (William)

"You think you can do as you please after trespassing our land. You bastard, you have got some nerve." (The guard)

I took out the 'thing' that the system told me to pick up before leaving that place.

"Oh? You came prepared, didn't you?. Wait, I will call Lord Dillon. He is currently busy with a meeting with the chiefs of other villages." (The Guard)

"Do it fast? I do not like being made waiting." (William)

As the system recommended talking in a rowdy way to intimidate the demons, I talked as if I were the ruler of the world. The demon turned around and went towards one of the buildings at the centre.

The building was a circle, one storey and almost 20m in diameter. But I was surprised when I looked around. I didn't focus on the surroundings but now that I could see, there were remains of burnt-out huts, trees and burns on the ground.

It was the remains of a battle. I was sure that those soldiers must have attacked the village as well.

"Oh? So this is the young man who is looking for me. It is suspicious when a person who is an outsider visits this island." ( Dillon)

A silver-haired man with black eyes and a height of almost 188 cm, there was a demon standing in front of me. He had a large white cloth with a leather belt on the belly. It was as if he was a samurai.

He had one red horn. It was growing out from the right side of the head with a spin towards the end.

"Are you the leader?" (William)

"Such insolence. You shall pay." (The guard)

Dillon hit the guard on his head so hard the guard fell unconscious.

"Well, I am sorry for this. But, I am interested in the gift you have brought us. The head of our Enemy." ( Dillon)

I threw the head of that Rum at him which I bought with me.

"Oh? I must thank you from the bottom of my heart. This bastard attacked us while we were sleeping and burned our village. What can I do for you?" (Dillon)

"I just want you to be my follower. And as my right-hand man, help me build an Empire." ( William)

"Oh? An Empire, you say. You have quite the nerve of saying so. A child like you has such dreams. Isn't it embarrassing for you to ask something like this to a person straightforward?. hahaha, quite interesting?

But as demons, we are born to serve someone stronger. So how about my requests?" ( Dillon)

I was in shock when this guy accepted my proposal. It was super easy. But the condition he uttered were unanswerable by me.

"What will we gain by following you? What are the advantages? I am sure you are stronger than anyone on this island so battling you is pointless. However, we all together can beat the hell out of you. But because I was once a part of a similar dream of conquering the world I will accept your proposal if I find you trustworthy and strong." ( Dillon)

I was traumatised by the question but my trusty system helped me.

"I will not be able to provide you with anything at the moment. However, I need you to be able to do something. I will ensure that you are investing your trust in a sure bet.

If I were to disappoint you or couldn't meet your expectations I will chop my head and offer it to you.

The only thing I want from you is your oath of serving me. I want your loyalty. And with that, I promise you a better future." (William)

I shouted and told everything the system told me to say. Then the guy started laughing. He laughed and laughed and said.

"Let's see. That was an excellent way of stating something and embarrassing as well. Let me discuss it with my friends. please wait here until I return." (Dillon)

He then turned back and signalled the guards to bring me a chair. The guard brought me a chair and when I sat on it.
