novelOverall Situation

They started checking everything inside the house as soon as they entered the house.
"It seems this house is indeed a one-person house." Alex let out a long sigh.
"Well, the house is pretty big, so I will be sleeping here... Not that I really need sleep, but I guess if it's cultivating alone, it's fine. You won't make too much noise anyway." She shrugged. Since Alex was a kind of her employer, she suggested this.
"Nah, it's fine. There is a storage room inside, so I will be using that instead after cleaning up that place." Alex shrugged."Actually, I have already placed the bed and any other necessities.
"Ehm... Seriously?"
"Yeah. Want to see it?"
If she said she wasn't curious about it, she would be lying. After all, Alex was a God Rank Expert. In terms of seniority, he should be the one using the bedroom. However, Alex never really cared about that and let her use the bedroom while using a storage room instead.
She felt bad about it.
On the other hand, Alex simply thought that the storage room could be considered comfortable enough. He remembered that he had been using a dark and cold cave longer than he used a real bedroom, so compared to what he had endured this whole time, a storage room would be perfect for him.
Of course, necessities like a bed and other things had been prepared inside his Inventory because he often used it, so when Aria entered the room, she realized that it had become a room that could be used for a small bedroom.
"Ehm... I think I will use this place instead. You can use the original bedroom."
"Nah, it's fine. You are the talented one here. If you stay here instead, I will be a bit suspicious, especially if someone checks us."
"..." Aria fell silent for a minute and ultimately nodded her head."I understand. If you feel comfortable, we can switch."
"Don't worry. Compared to where I have been living, this place is quite nice." Alex shrugged.
"So, what are we going to do now?" She asked."Should I aim for Martial Saint first?"
"Yes. I want you to break through to Martial Saint first before taking the first mission. Well, you have an Energy Pill. That should be enough to reach 10-Star Martial Monarch. Assuming that you will be training with me, I think it won't take a year to have a breakthrough."
"Are you sure? I usually take one or two years just for a star..." She furrowed her eyebrows, not believing what he said.
"It will depend whether you are determined enough to improve."
"I am. Just... Are we going to practice my Purgatory Sword or Sword Eye first?"
"Your Lightning Element first. I want you to master your Lightning Element first, so you won't have any problem using them in a full fight. During that time, you can practice your Purgatory Sword. I will try to help you one way or another. After that, you can start training your Sword Eye and learn about color. Maybe you can surprise your family in the future..." Alex smiled.
"I will be lying if I say I don't have the desire to learn the Sword Eye first, but I will follow your advice. After all, the Sword God said that your skill with the sword is second only to him."
"He obviously didn't want you to think he is below me by any means. He is a sore loser."
"Fufu. He knew that you would say that, so he told me that you lost against him."
"..." Alex was speechless. The Sword God was indeed a poison."It's just a close match. If I have mastered everything in my repertoire, I won't have any problem destroying him."
She smiled as if everything was according to her plan."As expected, you must be an important person. Although I am doubting your age, your identity is indeed very special. With how you are talking about him this casual, it must mean that you have somehow a relationship. The only problem will be what kind of relationship it is...
"Since he had died a few thousand years ago, I guess you have met his soul in another place. It makes me curious, but since you are not going to say anything, I won't pry deeper. It's just I want to say this to you. I will make sure to win the bet."
"Try it." Alex shrugged with a smile."You are smart but lacking common sense."
"Ugh... I am sorry about that. I have created trouble for you."
"I guess it's fine. I will be teaching you how to be careful during this time. And there is one thing that I find troubling."
"What is it?"
"All of them were saying they would protect you. They never said anything regarding your family. It might be true that as long as you are inside the sect, you won't have trouble. And if the disciple targets a family outside the sect, they will receive a punishment. But no one is saying their family outside is targeting your family. If it comes to this, it will just be a brawl between two secular families. It can't be considered breaking the rules."
"Ah?!"
"See? You are still naive. And there is a chance that your brother is on the list. Either way, I won't be helping you regarding this matter. The only way for you to solve everything is to get stronger. Are you prepared to complete some hellish training?"𝙛𝚛𝘦ewe𝗯𝘯oѵ𝚎𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
Aria gulped down and nodded."I am ready. Please take care of me."
"For now, you can use the Energy Pill first. I will be staying here until you have reached 10-Star Martial Monarch."
"I understand." Aria didn't complain that she didn't have time to get used to her new environment. It was like her courtyard. There was nothing to do other than training.
After getting Alex's instructions, she went straight to her new room and swallowed the pill.
Meanwhile, Alex opened his system.
"By the way, there is already Sherry and the others using the Gacha System, right?"
[Yes. Rose is getting lucky not long ago. ]
[Gacha Point: 1]
[Gacha Coin: 0]
"Hmm. That's right. How are the girls?"
[Anna and Anya are cultivating in Eulja right now and have reached Rank 9 God due to the supply of medicinal herbs. The experience can be increased by the usage of pills and medicinal herbs, so we are using it to boost everyone's cultivation. ]
"That's good. I have no problem here too. I am still unsure whether to summon the N squad to investigate the world because I have no plan in going out that much."
[Do you have a plan?]
"I am thinking right now." Alex let out a long sigh."There is nothing that piques my interest other than Sword Pavilion, but it will only open in another two years. Within that time, I need to go out once in a while. After all, I can't make them think I am a spy that suddenly disappears."
[You are going to make a scene?]
"Yeah. Probably a suicide scene... Not exactly committing suicide, but maybe sacrifice myself to fend off enemies."
[That girl can certainly act for you, but I think you might want to have another person to watch that scene to make it more believable. After all, they are considering both of you as a thing. ]
"You are not jealous?"
[No way. Is there a need to be jealous? As long as you are not obsessed to the point you have forgotten about your original wives, I won't say anything. Besides, there are still spaces inside our bedroom. ]
"Anyway, I have no plan in doing that. Anyway, how are Alicia and the others?"
[I have sent Alicia into a freezing world since it's too far from its star. She is fighting against many monsters there while increasing her strength. My task is pretty simple. I want her to conquer that world for me. ]
"I see. The power level is not that high, right?"
[Don't worry. I don't give impossible missions. ]
"That's good then."
[As for Firia, she has a separate mission with her master. I don't intervene unless necessary, and the content of the mission is also unknown to me. ]
"Well, she has taken care of her this whole time, so her safety should be guaranteed. Now that you mention it, I haven't visited my master after reaching God Rank. I should probably visit him soon."
[I don't really mind. I have explained your current situation to him, and he is fine with it. Besides, I have been giving the report to him about your progress, so he focuses on helping Firia right now. Well, you might want to visit him after completing your objective there. ]
"Yeah. I will probably do that." Alex nodded.
[As for Sherry, she is in a beast world, trying to learn more about herself. As much as they are similar to a human or a spirit, Sherry needs to face this herself. I have asked her first about this, and she said she wants to get stronger by going to the basics. ]
"Since she agreed, I won't say anything. Besides, she is going to be training in a fire world."
[Yes. We have found a planet that is suited for the Fire Authority cultivation. It will go either to you or Sherry, depending on who is first. As for the second world, we have found a clue but need a bit more time. I think we should find the third one within five years. At the same time, we have gained a clue about the world where we can plant the Gacha System. ]
"I understand. I will immediately use my power to plant the system after visiting my master." Alex nodded."How about Rose and Letizia?"
[Letizia has broken through to 9-Star. I think she will become a Goddess in two years of that world's time, not your current world. ]
"I see. That's good then. Zark will pick her up, right?"
[Yes. Considering she has an affinity with Alicia, she can train in the Ice Phoenix Tribe for the time being before becoming Alicia's assistant, so she understands more about Ice Element. If the Pure Ice element can be utilized perfectly, I think she might be the ice version of uncle Phitrus. ]
"Nice. She is a talented one and can be taught, so I am glad."
[You need to face her without drawing a line, you know. ]
"Ugh. I know." Alex looked away.
[As for Rose, she doesn't have any problem too. Maybe she will be able to become a God Rank Expert two years after Letizia. This is just a prediction. ]
"How is her overall strength?"
[I think she has no problem. Despite having 2-Star Martial Saint strength, she is able to fight against your average 4-Star. I think she can win against 5-Star Saint with some special condition. ]
"That's powerful. As expected of my disciple."
[You didn't teach her that much, considering she uses a bow instead of a spear or a sword. ]
"It's not like she needs one. The Bow Mastery is the biggest cheat." Alex stuck his tongue.
[Anyway, I have been giving Rose and Letizia a few missions they need to do to hone their fighting skills and other things. ]
"Alright. Thank you for doing that. I don't have time to supervise it."
[Don't worry. It's not like I have a lot of jobs with Korzan taking all the jobs. I am more like a supervisor of this world instead of a ruler. I will just be waiting for you to take the role from me. ]
"Ahaha." Alex could only laugh.
[There is one more thing. It's about Evelyn. ]
"Oh?!"
[According to Letizia, she has been inquiring about your information from time to time. She also has successfully made her senior sister... Angela, was it? To be the sect master candidate instead of her. I think she will chase you. ]
"I am not against the idea, but I just don't want to repeat the same mistake as I did in Shelka's case."
[I will be supervising her for you and make sure she doesn't fall to that path. ]
"Yeah, thank you."
