Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 257 A Traveller

"Don't tell me it's… 'Him.'" Theia spoke in horror and awe, and I nodded at her as I spoke,"though they didn't know about our secret, however, I found something interesting this time.

Hearing my words, Theia calmed down a little before curiously looking at me. Her eyes were concentrated at me and I spoke with a slight smile,

"Let's talk about it privately later. For now, let's deal with the problem at hand. The reasons that I came here for."

She for the next few seconds kept gazing at me before she spoke,"reasons? There is more than one?"

I nodded as I finally stood up and spoke,"I need you to train that guy and that guy. They have the potential to reach the strongest 100 if not the strongest 12. Along with that girl Linda, there is something that bugs me every time I see her. It's as if she has something special about her, but I can't exactly pinpoint what."

Theia turns to Reeve and Rheo, at whom I just pointed before looking at Linda with a bit of curious expression. Her eyes were a bit fixated before she moved forward towards Linda, who made a bit of a stiff expression as she saw Theia approaching her.

"(You are one of us aren't you?)" Theia asked as she looked at Linda with a bit of cautious mind. Linda kept quiet as if she couldn't understand anything, however… it was easy to see through her bluff.

Her eyes' movements were enough to tell that she understands that language. I observed her for a few moments with a slight surprise in my eyes.

'If she understands this language, doesn't that mean that she understood everything that I had talked with Theia about my regression and stuff?' I gulped a little before wondering if I should kill her or charm her? Though, I don't even know much about Linda here…. Will charm magic even work with her?

"(You may be able to bluff me, but you can't bluff that psychopath there. He is a freak when it comes to manipulating a person's emotion, especially when he wants something. You can try all you want but he will be able to see through you in a mere moment,)" spoke Theia as she looked in my direction and it kind of made me glare at her.

"(Even though I can see through most people, and manipulate people from time to time, I am not that excelled in this field. In fact, I have stopped doing that for sometime anyway,)" I spoke with my eyes narrowed at Theia before sighing and looking at Linda.

"(Tell the truth and I will forgive you. I promise that,)" I spoke as I looked at Linda who seemed to be almost crying there but Theia rebutted again,"(Ha! As if your promise holds any meaning to it- All right! All right! I will stop! Man. You turned so boring… why so serious?"

Theia winked at me and I took out my scythe, making her smile at me while moving two steps back.

I shook my head in dejection before turning to Linda with an awkward smile as I spoke,"(I have already been through a lot of weird shit after my regression, won't be surprised to find another. It is okay, just tell me. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago? Or maybe charmed you or something perhaps… but I want you to tell me on your own and not by any other means. Can you do that for me?)"

"(Cliche!)" spoke Theia as she sat down at a distance and watched the show with a bunch of snacks in her hands.

What was she doing? Watching a drama?

I glared at her again, making her giggle as she spoke."(come on. Continue doing the shit you always do!! It was getting interesting.)"

"(You guys are quite close, aren't you? Makes me jealous)" spoke Linda as she looked away, tightly hugging her shoulders slightly as if she were feeling cold. There was a tinge of sadness in her eyes and I slightly smirked at her while Theia started munching on her snacks faster with slight excitement.

"(I am someone who can enter or exit both worlds through my dreams… I have been living two liv-)" as she was speaking Theia spoke with a bright face,"(YOU ARE A TRAVELLER!!!! DAMN!!! I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHERE THE PENDANT VANISHED TO ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN IT FELL DOWN!!! IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT?!!!!)"

Though she was shouting, she felt really happy as she hugged Linda before she looked at me making a face as if she was saying 'She is mine!!!'

"Okay okay, you can have her. Just make sure she gets stronger, okay?" I spoke with a chuckle before looking at Linda with a really surprised look on my face.

Travellers, or more precisely, Travellers of Dreams, have the ability to travel through dimensions through their dreams. They can enter the Netherrealm, Demon Dimension, Angel Dimensions or God knows how many realms in their dreams. However, from what I have heard from a 'not so reliable' source, a traveller can travel to only one place all his or her life.

It honestly doesn't matter much to me, since I could enter Netherrealm anytime I want from now on, especially because of Theia, but for her… this was a totally different thing.

Linda was someone who can take her place from time to time, making it easier for her to travel to Planet Vermillion without losing her powers.

"But sure dude… you are really getting lucky this time… first it's that kid and then her… I believe you got more of them back on your planet?" spoke Theia with a surprised look on her face and I nodded at her as I answered,

"I do have a lot of new people with potential. However, almost all of them need training. Take Linda, Reeve and Rheo with you… also take Lucas-"

"NO!! I am not having that guy! You can have that by yourself!" spoke Theia with a decisive tone as her eyes seemed shaken and I just pressed my lips before I nodded,"Okay."

I then turned to William, Lucas and Cristine."You three will be assigned a task for now. Cristine, I have a special method of training for you. For the next three months, you have only one task which I need you to do."

I spoke and all of them turned to me with a surprised expression as Linda asked,"weren't we going to be here only for 1 week?"

"Ah! I forgot to tell you, huh? Actually, the time flow here is different. 1 day here is actually 1 hour outside, also we are going to stay here for 4 months utilising all the time we can… just that your initial training lasts for 3 months."
