God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Chapter 9: Learning More Of The System's Function



"Well, that is quite the news to hear..." Nolan mused to himself.

It was no wonder he had felt like dying when that bulky guy had simply placed his hands on his shoulder.

Every Celestial Heir that he met was at least thrice stronger than he was.

Any efforts to resist would be close to useless. It truly was pathetic.

[So you understand your patheticness now?] The system asked him, its mocking tone as clear as day.

"Well, not everyone is blessed with the Sacred Name of God's Slave that makes everyone else steal off my Divine Essence or use it to harm me inside my body.

How do you expect me to grow if I don't have control over my own essence?" Nolan argued back fiercely.

While he didn't even know who the hell was talking to him right now, he couldn't stand to watch someone mock his efforts.

[The God's Slave title is one of the best titles that a Celestial Heir could ever be given.

The only reason why you are so pathetic is because you failed to use your brain!] the system barked back, and Nolan felt he had enough.

"Just who the hell are you!?"

[I, peasant, am the brain behind the mightiest power of the universe.]

[The guardian entity of an unsurpassable, limitless power, known as the God King System!]

It is and will forever be your greatest honor that you just happen to fulfill the requirement for bonding, and therefore I am now stuck with you, probably for eternity.]

"Well, maybe you should also include the rudest oldie that has ever existed!" Nolan shot back at him.

[You! You bastard...] It was able to reply back to him but suddenly went quiet, and Nolan thought perhaps the system had finally been able to sympathize with him.

[Hmph, arguing with a peasant like you will be giving you too much honor.]

You expect a mighty person like me to be modest to a peasant like you, even weaker than an ordinary mortal. You clearly do not have sense, just as I predicted.]

"Tch," he snorted, as he got another sharp-mouthed reply from the system again.

He was about to respond again, but soon quieted down as he read the system's words in his head.

It claimed that it was the brain behind the God King System.

While he had no idea of how powerful the God King System is, the name itself was inspiring, and the system didn't seem like the one to lie.

This situation was like a god and a mortal meeting for the first time. It would be strange if the god was suddenly modest and talked to the mortal like they were equals.

The simple fact was they weren't.

So therefore, Nolan grimly sucked it up and didn't give a reply. But instead, he moved on to the next tab on the panel.

[Descents]

[First Descent: Greek Pantheon]

[Pantheon Type: Kratos]

[Second Descent: King Pantheon]

[Pantheon Type: Trimurti]

[Third Descent: ?????]

[Pantheon Type: Unknown]

And that was everything that was stated about his Descent.

Unfortunately, Nolan had no idea who Kratos was at all, but from the system's earlier description, it dictated him as the god of war and strength.

[You really are an idiot, aren't you? Your pantheon type doesn't even use Divine Essence, and you're focusing so much on divine essence, peasant!] the system grumbled out once more, not forgetting to mock him again, but Nolan simply ignored it.

His heart had gone through so much to worry about the prickling words of a seemingly arrogant higher being.

Looking at the panel, he could guess that the first Descent, like the system mentioned, was the one where he had gotten the ability of the dagger from.

The second pantheon was most likely the one possessed by the system itself. But the third Pantheon?

"What is the third descent all about, and why is it not revealed?" Nolan asked.

[Simple. Because you have yet to awaken it. Once you awaken it, if you ever would that is, then you will see it!] It responded quite harshly, but he shrugged it off once more.

Quickly, Nolan moved to the next panel.

[Descent Ability]

1. Lost Dagger of Kratos

- Description: Ability to sever through anything possessing Divine Essence.

- Pantheon Type: Kratos

"What's with the question marks?" he asked in confusion. He was expecting some more abilities that he was unaware of, but all he saw was the dagger.

[That's the only ability that you have for now. What were you expecting?] the system asked, and Nolan sighed before moving to the next tab.

[Shop]

[Locked!]

[Locked!]

[Locked!]

[Do you want me to explain that too?] the system asked, and Nolan shook his head.

"Don't worry. I understand now..."

[Now, move to the most important tab of all!] the system declared grandiosely as Nolan moved to the last tab.

[Quests]

[Active Quests:

- Learn of the potential of the one who carries the God King System.

Status: Uncompleted.

- Re-awaken Your Pantheon Will

Status: Uncompleted.

- Undergo The First Dream Trial Of The God King and obtain your first Crown.

Status: Uncompleted.]

[Rewards of Quests will be figured out after having completed the quests, but each will lead the Host into becoming a true God King!]

"Hmmmm, quests, huh? Isn't this like those video games?" Nolan asked with genuine surprise.

[Don't you ever dare compare the God King System with those time wasters of your mortal realm!] the system declared in anger, and Nolan quite understood why.

"My bad. So let's talk about the first quest. I'm to learn of the potential of the God King System, right? And I'm guessing you're the only one who can help me do that?" Nolan asked.

[Yes, I am the only one in the entire multiverse.] The system replied with pride.

"So help me then?" Nolan replied, but the golden panel remained silent for the next two minutes.

"Um, are you there..."

[Yes, I am.]

"I thought you were going to help me do the explaining, right?"

[Yes. But then I suddenly have this strange thought and that is, why should I?]

"Huh?"
