Chapter 111 - I'm Tired
Chapter 111 - I'm Tired
"This Dragon Essence seems cool, but ..." Desmond narrowed his eyes and saw that now the change was happening again in his race, "How should I hide this ?!" just thinking about this already gave him a headache.
"System, how long will it take to complete the first project?"
[Processing ...]
[
Project number: 001
Project name: Item without energy
Description: The host hopes that science can help this process. An item that the host wants is an item that is functional but does not use its own energy.

Time Left: 3 years

"Whaaa ..." Desmond was shocked when suddenly a transparent screen as tall as himself filled his vision. He saw all this information and thought, "Looks like the system has gotten another upgrade without my knowledge ..."
Unlike the previous upgrade, now system did not request or provide notification about this upgrade, making Desmond surprised by the new functionality being displayed.
"Hmm, that's true; I've already collected these items. But that's only because I'm interested in its function and form, not because of an order or a system suggestion ." Seeing that the system was smart enough to add necessary data made Desmond even more suspicious of its existence.
"But, the system doesn't work while I'm in consciousness. This means…" If Desmond was affected by the spell that sent him into the subconscious, then the system wouldn't be able to help him. "So this is why there is a defense mode ..."
After that, Desmond stretched his body. He first checked his mental state and found there were no mental injuries. Then he checked all parts of his body from feet to head.
"…" When he held his head, there was no soft sensation he usually felt. Instead, his hand is directly touching the scalp, which means he's currently bald!
"Luckily, there is a spell that can grow hair… but…" Desmond recalled; he didn't learn this spell because he thought it was really insignificant at the time. For the first time, he cursed himself inwardly for being stupid and arrogant.
Hence, Desmond had ignored him until now. Luckily all Desmond's maids could use this simple spell.
Desmond sighed, "Looks like I really have to learn all the lifestyle spells this time." He was afraid that there would be similar events in the future.
...
Only after making sure everything was in good condition did Desmond realize that the room around him was very messy.
Cracks in the walls can be seen throughout the walls, while some floors also have holes that are not too deep.
Desmond looked up and realized that cracks had also occurred in the room's ceiling, sending sunlight into the room.
"So that is, that;s why I feel like this room not too dark when the black dragon enters my body." Apart from feeling light, he also felt that his eyes were getting heavier.
* yawn *
"I haven't slept all day; I wonder how those maids would act without orders." While rubbing his eyes, Desmond slowly walked haphazardly to the exit of the dungeon.
...
* step * * step *
In Desmond's house's backyard, you could see Laura and Annie standing right in front of the bushes that covered Desmond's cellar door.
* creak *
The cellar door opened, exposing their sleepy young master.
"Welcome back, young master." Laura greeted Desmond with a smile. Meanwhile, Annie, who had been silent, was suddenly shocked when she saw that Desmond's right hand had recovered.
"Ohh, good morning," Desmond replied back with a faint smile; he did not expect that Laura and Annie would find him so quickly.
Hmm, with the character of Laura now plus the sound I made, it would be impossible for the maids not to notice.
Desmond actually didn't really keep this dungeon secret; he just wanted to hide it for a while.
Seeing her young master's smile, Laura's heart became warm, but she then frowned when she did not hear that Annie did not greet her young master.
Laura looked at Annie and saw her shocked expression. Laura was also surprised and curious; she followed Annie's gaze and saw that her young master's hand had returned, "You...ng...M..as.ter " Laura said while covering her mouth with one hand.
"Oh? You just realized it?" by the time Desmond came out, he already realized that Annie was looking at him, shocked. Maybe because Laura was busy greeting him she didn't notice Annie's cute expression.
"This is no big deal; I'll explain the details later." Desmond then looked at Laura and Annie seriously, "For this time, keep it a secret from an outsider and prepare me a meal."
After saying that, Desmond left the two maids, who were blinking in surprise. Just now, young master looked so cool! Thought Laura.
Is that really an aura from young master? Unlike Laura, who was excited, Annie felt a sense of fear when Desmond looked at her. She imagined herself in front of a lion ready to eat her.
"Hey Annie," Annie, who was daydreaming, suddenly saw Laura was holding on her cheek while shouting at her.
"Ah?" Annie answered while tilting her head.
"Let's go to fulfill young master order," Even though Laura did not know why Annie was daydreaming, she grabbed Annie's hand and led to the kitchen.
Annie's mind was still blank due to Desmond's gaze; she could only comply while being pulled by Laura like a doll.
...
Meanwhile, Desmond, who was headed for his room, received greetings from the many maids who suddenly surrounded him when he reached the kitchen.
"Young master, are you all right?" asked one of the maid, holding a platter that pressed against her chest.
Seeing Desmond's pale state with large eye bags hanging from his lids made the other maids worry but afraid to ask and make Desmond uncomfortable.
"I'm just a little tired if you can please step aside." At the moment Desmond spoke, he subconsciously emitted fire and cold temperature simultaneously towards the surrounding maids.
The maids immediately retreated; instead of being afraid, their gazes became worried seeing the young master's condition suddenly changing slightly.
At the same time, they were shocked when they saw Desmond's right hand had returned.
*ring*
They all turned around and saw that Laura came in with Annie, who was pulled like a doll, "Eh? What is this? Why are you all gathered here? "
Laura glanced at a maid who pointed her finger to the side. "Oh, well, because you guys are here, I want to talk about something." Laura saw her beloved young master walking towards his room and choose not to answer the maid.
The other maids became speechless. If Laura already knew the condition of young masters like that, why wasn't she worried? Thought all the maids.
But what about young master hair? If not for Desmond's face was pale, maybe their worries would be replaced by the scene where they were holding back laughter.
...
After making his way out of the crowd of maids, Desmond walked like a zombie. His body bent, and his hands moved to the rhythm of his body.
* creak *
Desmond pushed open his bedroom door with all his might. After entering, he scanned his room.
Good, nothing has changed.
After that, he walked to his bed and stretched out his arms.
* thump *
"AH ~" Desmond moaned, "Sleeping is perfect indeed." After his body felt the mattress, his eyes' heavy feeling became heavier, and finally closed Desmond's eyes.
.
.
.
* knock * * knock * * knock *
Desmond slowly opened his eyes as he heard the sound of knocking on the door.
"Young master, I have come to bring your food." The maid on the other side of the door said; she stood while waiting for her young master's orders.
"Come on," Desmond answered with a yawn, rubbing his eyes and seeing that the sunshine in the afternoon was very comfortable to look at.
* creak *
The moment the door opened, Desmond turned and saw Laura carrying the platter that contained a glass of wine and his food while smiling at him.
"Please, young master," Apart from that, her red hair was also exposed to the afternoon sun, which made this blend very beautiful in Desmond's eyes.
But for Desmond, Laura's beauty had little effect on him. He glanced at Laura briefly before his gaze shifted to the glass of wine swaying over the platter.
"Thank you," Desmond smiled and took the wine.
* slurp *
"Ah, i-" Desmond stopped when he saw Laura still standing beside him, "what's wrong?"
"Ah, no, then I'll excuse." Seeing Desmond drinking wine at an early age, Laura found him funny. She unconsciously continued to stare at Desmond's lips until he touched the glass filled with wine.
* creak *
The door's screeching sound sounded again; Desmond saw that Laura was gone, and his door was closed. "Life without wine seems impossible to me," Desmond spoke while chewing his food with a fork.
After finishing eating, Desmond realized that the sun had set, and now the moon was rising, shining on his room, "Let's have a good rest."
* thump *
His consciousness slowly faded; just as he was about to sleep, Desmond suddenly opened his eyes, "I haven't showered ..." only at this time did he feel sticky mucus sticking to his body.
* sniff *
"Smell good." Desmond's face twitched; the smell of his own body, which contained various creatures' blood, made Desmond want to vomit.
Desmond was then forced to get out of bed and go to the bathroom
