Congratulations! You have completed a rank S mission! 800 points have been added to your account!
Darkness for as long as the eye could see. Words that randomly appear in my head. Numbers, math, rage, fury, wealth, sadness, misery, loneliness, laughter.
Please choose your next destination: Rank F planet Boba, Rank D planet Raika, Rank C planet Yuri, Rank B planet Fatherland, Rank B planet Motherland, rank A planet Deathgrip, Rank S planet Obscurity, Rank SS planet Fury, Rank X planet Earth.
My eyes scan my mind. An invisible touch clicks on the planet Obscurity, another rank S planet.
Your choice has been noted. Contacting personal administrator... Personal administrator has sent you a request for a meeting. Accept?
Yes.
Request accepted... Administrator Akamine is online.
My ears twitch. The feelings inside of me vanish like the wind, so fragile and weak. A single thought is enough to shatter my emotions.
My tail twitches. Once upon a time, I would feel anticipation, excitement, eagerness, before meeting Akamine. Now, all that remains is an empty feeling.
Hello, Alpha. That was rather fast, just 4 years to take down the Demon King, install a puppet government loyal to the System and even train an entire army to defend the planet? Jeez, you should totally just try to become an administrator yourself. I talked to the other administrators, and they said that the system itself basically considers you one. Why not just request a rank up?
No. I like my job as it is.
Alright, fair enough. Anyways, what do you want to put those points in? I thought you were saving up to finish up transforming your body, right?
Yes. I should have enough to finish up, right?
Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.
Well, I don't know. Let me check.
Akamine's voice disappeared along with his presence. I looked at my own body, thinking about how I would finally finish my lifelong dream of becoming an indestructible cyborg. Except I'm not a cyborg.
A dark as night black spread all the way from my feet to my belly, and even from my hands to my elbows. Now, if I could transform myself all the way to my neck, it would save me the trouble of having to constantly block attacks. Dodging is stupid anyways.
Taking another look though, I should probably request to get some new clothing. I despise mortal clothing, so during missions, I always end up destroying my clothing and ending up as a semi-nudist.
Alright, you have enough. Aaaaand... Hold on...
A couple minutes later, I finally asked just why my body wasn't all nice and black.
Ugh... just a minute... Holy fucking shit, just work goddamnit! They just had and go update the stupid app, and now I don't know what buttons are which! Fucking stupid, 'it's gonna be more efficient' they said. 'It's gonna be stupid' I say.
Finally, after another minute, Akamine finally did his job and I found myself all nice and black. It's a lovely feeling knowing that 10.000 of years of work only amount to a small part of your body.
Anything else? I updated your chart, want to see them?
Sure.
Name: Alpha
Race: Kazanian Catkin
Age: Very Young
Profession: Mercenary, Hero, World Conqueror
Title: The Savage Hero
Threat: 9258
Looks good.
I'm glad to hear that. Your Threat has gone up from 9210 to 9258, that's 48 points in less than 5 years, I feel like you should get some achievement related to that.
Achievements are for pussies.
Watch your language, young woman. This is a family-friendly association, and we only condone mass-murder and selling entire worlds into slavery.
Shut up, your humor sucks. I'm going.
Wait! I need to check your blood pressure, your spiritual sense and your soul strength before you're clear to go!
See you in a century.
And like that, I left. Well, leaving wouldn't be the correct word, as in this spacetime section, the laws are a bit weird. Even then, I'm used to it.
After reaching the required portal, my body disappeared into it. As my body was teleported to god-knows-where, my mind was busy checking what I needed to do to the planet.
Obscurity: Rank S planet. Major Races: Humans, elves, demons. Individual threat: 0.4, Kingdom threat: ~900.
There has been a request from a major client for this planet. A stray God wishes to settle here, but they require the planet to be scouted, conquered and, if possible, terraformed. The God has made clear that they prefer humans over other races. Slight possibility of a minor Demigods already inhabiting the planet. Assumed maximum threat ~5000 total.
Nothing of note. The plan will be the usual.
Veni, Vidi, Vici.
