The Game Rune System

Chapter 50: Experience

Tetsuya's life took such a tremendous turn he was not even looking like his own self.

At the beginning, he fought with many servants but due to his sealed strength he lost against the number advantage. He just couldn't accept all those people looking down on him or ordering around.

He fought with everyone, but his attitude was so outstanding that some servants took great joy in his attempts to take down people with him.

It was mostly the head maids and butlers that were beating up Tetsuya.

It lasted for the whole year and now Tetsuya woke up with black eye again...

"..." He looked at the shabby ceiling and his roommates that he shared the room with. All of them were lowborn, but they took the job here with gratitude and worked their lives to get home and money.

Tetsuya couldn't understand them, though.

Wouldn't it be better to just take the sword and hunt beasts that were like ants in this world? You could also build a house for yourself within the forest and just live the hunter life without being looked down by stronger people. You could do so many things to live without being a mere servant and yet these people were gladly waking up and allowing others to spit on them.

"Narashi! It's time! Do you want to get scolded by the head maid?" A gentle voice brought Tetsuya out of his thoughts. His eyes slowly turned to the side where the lady in a measly maid uniform looked down on him.

Her face was distorted with worry and she was ready to yank Tetsuya just to wake him up thoroughly.

"Why?" He asked For the first time ever since coming here, Tetsuya parted his lips to ask the lady question, "Why are you maid?"

"Because I want to repay my debt... " The usual lifespan of commoners was roughly one hundred and fifty years. This also depended on how one fed oneself and their environment also mattered greatly here.

By working here, the commoners could increase their lifespan by fifty years or even more and then eat proper meals that added more years to their lives. It was a really good deal and not every 'commoner' also could enter this household.

There were commoner cities in Yulia Household's territories with families of former servants. Those servants have settled here without any problem and began their businesses with money gathered from their hard work.

Everyone lived here safely and a lot of commoner businesses had their main branches in such cities belonging to the strongest nobilities.

Such people were often sending their descendants to work for Yulia Household's direct lineages and branches just to get money and longer lifespan.

Tetsuya just followed his roommate and listened to all of this with narrowed eyes. There was no arrogance within his eyes, but just countless thoughts slowly emerging within.

Such thoughts were mostly about commoner people's lifestyle.

He never put much thought to it after all. Tetsuya believed that with him and his quests to strength growth, everything would turn easier and better for his people. He never really understood why people were so glad that he saved them nor whether his place was truly the best.

'Lifespan Back on earth, this was the worry of a million people. It was said that it was luck if you aged to fifty' Tetsuya's thoughts got interrupted, but he was on a good track.

What interrupted him was an older servant who was like the 'leader' of their pack. He just glanced at Tetsuya with scornful eyes since the game master used to throw a tantrum on a daily basis, then passed mop.

Holding it tightly, Tetsuya soaked the mop and began to just wipe the floor.

He didn't get any beating nor his eyes revealed any emotions, so the older servant just turned his eyes and went to oversee others.

Just like that, Tetsuya worked in silence for the first time in one year.

-

While the whole household was beautiful with thousand flowers and colorful nature, there was also a dark side of the world where servants such as Tetsuya right now couldn't do anything other than looking from afar.

The beautiful land and pathways that Tetsuya stomped on one year ago, for example.

Those were out of reach for the servants and they needed to use narrow roads to not taint nature.

Furthermore, the servants also needed to have proper swordsmanship learned. This swordsmanship was required in critical cases such as other households trying to do something funny such as infiltration or any other underhanded means.

The servant who would notice such things should be able to properly defend oneself and pass the information to his supervisors.

"Narashi, you are getting better with swordsmanship." After cleaning up the noble's house, Tetsuya met with the lady from his room. She was also sweaty and wiped her forehead with a content expression.

Though it was clear that yet another hard work was on the way, she looked calm and ready to embrace everything, "Hehe, if crisis befalls on my family, then with this swordsmanship I will be able to keep my family fed by hunting beasts." She reminded Tetsuya about his earlier question.

There was no reaction whatsoever, so the lady pouted.

She was talkative to Tetsuya because he opened himself to her and she wanted to see more emotions out of this expressionless, but beaten face. It was bummer that Tetsuya just kept things to himself.

"You can tell that I am becoming better This is because I am talented from top to bottom." Tetsuya tried to be a little like his 'old self', his eyes trying to look into his roommate's reaction.

What he saw was her giggling and nodding, "Yes, you are talented Narashi. I think you can beat every newbie like me with this sword." The lady glanced at the wooden sword, then added, "But the head maid is still out of your way! She has experience."

Indeed.

People that were around Tetsuya's age were easily beaten by him because he could outshine them with his talent and their energies weren't that high to begin with. They had no time to develop those and the same went with their skills.

So Tetsuya with the demonic bloodline and high runes just could use his talent to go onto them. Even the treasures were nothing compared to the old masters!

"This world is not the same."

"What are you talking about?" The lady asked, her eyes blinking.

Lowered to one of the lowest social statues, Tetsuya had gotten the proper look and the world and its differences. He and his roommate finally appeared in the training hall where a lot of head maids and butlers from many courts were teaching the servants proper swordsmanship.

His eyes deeply penetrated through the head maid that Tetsuya was under.

"..."

The head maid flinched, sensing the unknown presence around her body. When she turned around, her eyes immediately spotted Tetsuya who for the first time was looking at her with the hint of respect.

She lowered her sword a little, then ordered the next servant to come closer.

Her sword then began to bully the newbie, but all of this was just so that this talented 'Narashi' could finally learn more!

It was not only the 'old masters' from his own world that Tetsuya has never really paid much attention to.

RIght now, he was genuinely looking at the woman from this world, that was many steps behind Henryk or any other noble, to learn and become stronger.

"The key to get back my Ashley is to get power." Since romantic swordsmanship was the only thing Tetsuya could cultivate, he grasped his wooden sword then waited for his name to be called out.

Soon, "Narashi. Come." The head maid pointed her training sword at him, a sneer creeping onto her lips.

A silence from this particular individual was honestly shocking, "I am Narashi." He also introduced himself! Many servants felt like their eyes just left their orbits from this simple yet outstanding introduction.

"I'd like to learn from you. In a few months, it will be me bullying you, head maid."

"Oh, I am looking forward to that." The head maid named Veronica let out a long sigh, then brandished her sword.

Their eye exchange looked like picture between two skilled swordsmen, then the head maid's sword shattered this very image quickly.
