Chapter 9: Twin sisters
Chapter 9: Twin sisters
[Rookie assignment is now available to you.]
[Open it?]
"Yes."
Rain calmly replied.
[Error!]
[Analyzing ways to eliminate the error...]
Goosebumps ran down his skin. For some reason, this situation reminded Rain of the one that started it all, his destruction by the Will of the World and subsequent reincarnation.
It's not gonna be that shit this time, is it?
Rain cautiously glanced at the messages in front of him.
[The problem has finally arisen.]
The sad voice the system used to say this was not at all comforting.
"What happened?"
With a little nervousness in his voice, Rain asked.
[Rookie assignment is a quest to test your abilities and determine if you deserve more.]
[Depending on how well you complete it, the rewards you receive will be calculated. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the most important quest at the beginning.]
Rain still didn't see any problems.
'What could be the problem with a quest I hadn't even seen?'
Then an idea popped into his head.
"Is the problem that my 'specialization' is different from others?"
[No, your rookie assignment also follows the general principles, though it is aimed at a different thing.]
[Take a look for yourself.]
A message popped up in front of Rain.
[Rookie assignment: Deprave and Steal one woman.]
[Notice: The more valuable your target is, the more rewards you will get!]
"So what?"
Still not seeing a problem, Rain tried to get an answer.
[It's about that woman, Celestia. After everything you did to her, the system counted her as a mission target, thus successfully completing the mission. The problem is that before the host familiarizes himself with the system's abilities, he cannot receive missions. Hence the conflict, resulting in a system error.]
"Then why didn't you stop me?"
Puzzled, Rain asked.
If it could have been prevented, why did she fail to act?
[I didn't expect you to go that far with her. Who in their right mind would assume that going to your Aunt's room would end with your *ahem* actions?]
[And after you started, if I had said that, would you have stopped?]
No.
From Rain's subconscious came the answer immediately.
After realizing this, he had no regrets and focused on more important matters.
"But the system is you, isn't it? Why don't you fix it?"
[Although I am the consciousness of the system, my rights are limited and I am not responsible for every action. For example, quests are given without my input.]
[This was introduced to prevent a host from being able to talk the system into giving him more than he deserves.]
Rain stared at the flashing line of error text again.
"Do you have any options on how this can be resolved?"
[I have some ideas, but to realize them, I'll need to shut down for a couple of hours. You'll still have access to all my abilities. You'll let me do that?]
Although Rain didn't fully trust the system, he felt he could accept it.
"Yes."
Apparently discerning his hesitation, the system added before leaving.
[Don't worry, since the Goddess of Darkness sent me to you, I'm completely on your side and will do my best to solve this and other problems in the future. You have every right to distrust me and I will not try to change your mind. I would rather let time prove the truth of my words.]
With those, the annoying voice he'd been hearing constantly lately completely disappeared.
After lying on the bed in silence for a couple dozen seconds, Rain decided not to waste time and left the room.
He knew exactly where he was going.
Though this world was different from his, the truth remained the same.
Power decides everything.
The strong take and the weak give.
Rain was not one of those who wanted to give anything away, and on the contrary, he was eager to take what was not his. That's why strength was vital to him.
Especially, for a good life in this world and successful fulfillment of all his plans Rain will have to deal with the development of his body sooner or later.
Based on all of this, he decided to go to his family's personal training hall.
Rain went underground and walked down a long corridor, flanked by doors leading to various training rooms. As he walked along, looking for the right one, the light in one of the rooms caught his eye.
As Rain got closer, he could also hear the sounds of blows accompanied by synchronized screams. Judging by how sweet the sounds were, he assumed they belonged to a girl.
Driven by curiosity, Rain peeked into the training room.
Two white-haired girls who looked like two drops of water were sword fighting against each other.
[Illustration of twins]
Although it was hard to call it a battle in the usual sense of the word. Rather, it looked like an elegant dance in which each partner knows the other perfectly, allowing them to achieve perfect harmony.
They were so focused on each other that they didn't notice him walking in.
Rain decided to observe them for a while.
Their rhythmic sword strokes, ability to anticipate their opponent's movements and perfect synchronization during the battle surprised him. They were so good at it that if he hadn't known they were his twin sisters, he could have easily mistaken it for advanced cloning ability.
They were both dressed in tight workout suits that didn't constrict movement and were perfect for battle.
Aside from their usefulness in battles, they also provided a gorgeous view of their supple bodies, especially their breasts, which reacted to every movement by bouncing from side to side. Although their size were vastly inferior to Celestia's, they had their appeal. Especially considering there were a whole four breasts.
Eventually, one of the girls managed to make some unexpected lunges that allowed her to gain an advantage and soon win.
Sweating after an intense workout, they stood opposite each other, trying to catch their breath. It was only then that the one who had won the sparring session noticed Rain standing not far from them.
A mask of contempt immediately appeared on her face.
"Tsk."
She snorted and turned back to her sister, pretending Rain wasn't there.
When the second girl realized his presence as well, her gaze lingered on him briefly, after which she smiled and bowed elegantly, remaining silent.
'It's a good time to feel the benefits of the system.'
Rain activated the status ability, glancing at the one that had completely ignored him.

[Attitude: My brother is so pathetic that it makes me sick.]
__________________________
Seeing her profile, Rain's mood dropped a bit.
Eliana was also 18 years old, but her cultivation was a whole stage ahead of his, and her bloodline development percentage was several times higher. And judging from Rain's memories, her bloodline shouldn't be weaker than his.
Rain surpassed her only in terms of personal talent.
As for attitude, even without the system's clues, he realized that she was looking down on him. It awakened in him a natural desire to crush her.
While Rain was thinking about it, the ring on his finger began to flash, as if signaling something.
He noticed out of the corner of his eye that his sisters had similar rings on their fingers, and they were flashing, too. Repeating their actions, Rain put his thumb on the ring and a few seconds later a message appeared in the air.
Rain immediately looked at the sender.
[Eldorin Imperial Academy.]
