Everyone Else Has a System

In general, quests are related to your system and the system will provide you with only those quests through which you can improve in the aspects related to your system. A warrior system will give combat related quests, or a blacksmith will be given creation related quests. Though at certain times, you may end up getting a quest not related to your system, but related to your work and other things. For example, you work in a school, but even if your system isn't teaching related, sometimes you might get a quest related to teaching or something.

Also, during emergencies there are quests given such as escaping, surviving, or fighting that are more of a self-sustaining quest that motivates you to survive and not die.

Finally, there are event quests, which are more of a surprise quest and will come only if certain conditions are fulfilled. For example, you are in a fight against an opponent in a worldwide tournament and your chances of winning are less than 10 percent. In those conditions, you might get a quest to win and reap massive rewards, sometimes even a skill. It may or may not be related to your system.

Hmmmm…. Then there is another type of quest that not everyone one gets… it would be really a massive event if anyone got that type of quest. They have a special name and an exclusive side of their own. They are known as… The Conqueror's Quest.

As the name sounds, you will be given a time frame and an area to conquer. The major thing about this quest is that… It sends you to another dimension for a definite time and the only way to complete this quest is either to conquer that area or wait for the given time to be over.

.........….

"Are you the owner of the System? Or… is there any connection between you and the System?"

'Huh? Wait! Wait! Wait! Does Frey have any ability that allows him to know other's secrets or something? No, from what I remember he had an ability related to leadership and security and nothing of that sort… then… what… hmmm… all right… calm down… Let's see where this goes,' Reaper thought with a smile on his face with no change in his temperament and asked,"I wonder what that means."

Frey looked at him for a few moments before throwing a sheet in front of him and, looking at the sheet, Reaper saw that it was a survey sheet related to last night's event; the sheet showed the number of people who got a quest regarding those events.

"What about it?" Reaper asked as he turns a little bit more serious and he sighs before observing Claus, who was also observing with a slightly frightful expression and then he began explaining,

"Although, we could make yesterday's massacre as something more personal to you since you went all out. But we could still not understand the reason for everyone taking arms and attacking the organisation from all sides.

It was as if everything was pre-planned so we thought you might have done something behind the scenes… though when we asked the people who attacked about why they did so; we got something a bit more unexpected… and that was that they got a mission related to the organisation.

Something along the lines of a lucrative reward in stat point, if they killed the organisation along with you. Now, it wouldn't be noteworthy if it was just one or two people, but half of the city got that same mission…"

Reaper observed Claus' face with a smile as he thought ,'Holy F*ck! Amon… are you the one responsible for this? If you are doing something like that, at least f*cking tell me beforehand, damn it. No sh*t they thought that I was related to the system. Otherwise, who else has the authority to send quests other than the system itself?' his smile looked quite humble over his calm and collected face.

"It wasn't me and also I did not know about the quest until you told me. Though it does make me curious… why would everyone get the same quest.. Either it was to help me or…" he drifted off with his eyes turning red before turning back to normal and catching his words Frey spoke," or maybe…. it was specifically against the organisation."

'Good.. now with that thought process go dig up something useless and don't bother me,' Reaper thought before speaking,"So… back to the main topic. Would you like to make a deal with me?"

​ Frey snapped out of his thoughts and pondered over it for more than a minute or so before he sighs and answers,"I will add my own points into it," and Reaper nod at him.

From there onwards, we formulated the mana contract with the points that I will help him solve cases which he can't and will also not misuse the department's resources which I changed to, 'Reaper will not misuse the security department unless it is something that is very crucial to Reaper.'

There were other similar points just to cover all loopholes and after everything was said and done, with pure curiosity Zero asked him one last time,"are you sure you want to work under me?"

The fact that he built the whole organisation on his own made Reaper wonder why would Frey let him control it so easily and Frey answers with a slightly nostalgic face,"those bastards… they took my wife and kid from me… I racked my brains thinking of ways in which I could kill them but I lacked the power to do so. You see, Reaper... This security organisation was made for the sole purpose to counter mafia organisations and keep them under check. It was built by my father because he lost his whole family except for me. He raised me to be strong enough… only to result in history repeating itself, this time with me.

Even though I wanted to kill them… watching them being crushed like insects in that video was far more satisfying than you can imagine."

Reaper saw Frey's insane smile and that joy he had over his face when he recalled that video and the first thought that came into Reaper's mind was,'he has lost it. Losing his family might have been the trigger…'

He observed Frey with pity before both the parties signed the mana contract. Reaper then nodded at Claus before moving away from there…

'While I might need their help, I would rather try to make things work on my own,' thought Reaper as he moved away from there.

The only reason Reaper wanted to use them was because sometimes he might meet people in the white dimension, whose desire he can't go and personally solve, because of various reasons. So at least he could use the security department at that time to make things smoother for himself.

Reaper then moves out of the room and gets a cab to another part of the city after he changes his disguise and returns back to being Zero.

He also erases his traces again as he begins thinking about everything that has changed and its impacts on the future. Looking at it, conclusively, it has shifted a few fragments of reality, but the others were still intact.

'Soon I will need to visit them too…' Reaper thought as he smiled recalling the past before finally reaching the location where a woman was smiling happily with her husband. Reaper gets out of the cab and walks towards the couple and then speaks.

"Excuse me, can you help me find a certain house around this part of the city?"

The couple looks at Reaper and the husband observes him with a bit of annoyance before he looks at his wife who was chuckling and then turns at Reaper as he speaks,"well… go on."

Reaper smiles at him and then speaks,"This is the address," before taking out a paper on which an address was written, though looking at the paper the couple's expressions immediately change as they turn to look at Reaper, who was gone from there.

'Well… this should finish her work here,' thought Reaper as he looked at the couple from the rooftop of a nearby building. The paper contained the name and number of an account whose pin code stopped working a long time ago.

It was the work of a highly influential mafia man who just wanted the family to suffer due to a personal feud against the husband. After mercilessly killing her husband and her child in front of her, he abused her while gloating over everything he did with them to f*ck them over.

The woman in the white dimension was the same as this one and just wanted their life to be better, since she got a chance. She asked Reaper to give them the paper containing the account details so that they can access their savings, which would solve almost all of their problems.

Watching them praying as if they had just seen a God, Reaper sighed before moving away from there.

'Now… let's train a bit before meeting Mark Leeway. Might as well prepare a few things for extra precautions before walking in the devil's den.'
