Ranking System

After my shower, I returned to the room where Linsey, Jasmine, and Nene were. The three were having tea and talking about work-related things.

"That was faster than I expected."

"I had used a body enhancement capsule for my starting reward."

"No wonder you look so different during that time..."

Jasmine said, sounding surprised that I had received such a reward for my birthday.

There was no reason to lie, I had already used it, so it was not like they could take it back. But from the looks of it, Linsey didn't mind.

"Master~! You look more handsome~!"

I didn't expect such a comment to come out so randomly. As a maid, she is free-spirited.

"Thanks?"

What else am I supposed to say? I couldn't find the word to say, so I didn't say anything else.

"Not bad, 1490 to 1204."

With the two items provided by Linsey, my rank had gone up again by a large margin. There was still some stuff left, and I wanted to see my rank increase.

"This is a skill-leveling capsule. I wonder what changes your power will have once you take it."

"Changes..."

Jasmine couldn't help but shiver at the thought of my power increasing. She had seen the full extent of my powers, so making it stronger was terrifying in its own right.

Without any hesitation, I swallowed the capsule.

[Skill Level Up]

[Only Skill For This is Target Of Misfortune]

[Target Of Misfortune is now at the second level]

[Target Of Misfortune: Rank EX (Level: 2)]: This allows the skill to cause misfortune upon the desired user. It can't be removed unless the caster allows it to do so. It could only be used if the target is within 500 meters of you. Magical properties of misfortune are now even more likely.

Sheesh, the range of my ability increased by ten times. And my curses are even more deadly. If my skill levels increase, I could kill anyone in a heartbeat.

"So how is it? What are the effects?"

I looked at Nene, wondering if she should be here. Unlike the other two, my maid knows nothing about my skill.

"Master~! Don't you trust me?"

Trust? I mean, I just met her a few hours ago. It's pretty hard to trust someone you don't know. The only thing I could trust was myself and money.

"Sign this."

Yes, it may be weird, but I prepared a geass just in case anyone else finds out. If they don't, then I will use my skill on them. Nene would be my maid, so there was no harm in telling her.

Nene saw my trust in her was low. She couldn't help but get angry and signed the geass. Looking at her, she was weird in all sorts of ways.

Her apparent anger had disappeared in an instant. It was replaced with a chipper smile. I wonder what is going on with her head.

Filling in what Nene needed, she could help but gleam. I knew she was weird. The death of the people I caused didn't bother her. She seems to desire something else.

"My skill now has a higher chance of causing unfortunate accidents in terms of magic itself."

They still didn't know about my range, but it was not needed. After all, everyone needs secrets of their own.

"I see. Let's experiment with it at a later date~."

Linsey's sadistic nature was out for a second, but she had managed to control it.

With my power increased in skill, I was now in the second rank. I was upping my overall rank to 923. I'm now someone at the third digit.

"That's a nice number."

Linsey was satisfied to see my ranking go up.

"Master is so cool~!"

Sometimes, I can't take what Nene says seriously. Her actions are too much of a riddle.

"Now, let's set up your resurrection point."

Resurrection? So that means that the extra life artifact I will be given would have a spawn point.

This was better than reviving where I die. If I were to be killed by someone insanely strong, I wouldn't want to spawn in the exact location.

"Take it, drop your blood, and place it anywhere you want."

What was given to me was a totem of some sort. Honestly, it looked like a golden vibrator. I can't tell if the creator of this item was messing with people with the design.

A drop of blood? Even if I had been harmed a lot, it doesn't mean I like it.

"Do you have an easy and less painful way for me to get my blood?"

"Jasmine, take a drop of blood out from him."

"Yes, boss."

Before I could react to what Linsey said, Jasmine used her skill and somehow took some blood from me. Jasmine had some blood manipulation skills to do something like that.

With the drop of blood touching the golden vibrator. I felt a connection to it. I guess that is all I need to do.

My wealth had also been added, but my rank had stayed the same. Now that the totem is connected, I will put it in my closet.

"Boss, I think it's time we leave. You have something planned in fifteen minutes."

"Is that so? Charles, it seems like I need to go. Nene here has all your schedule. If you have any questions, she should be able to answer them."

"Wait, when will I get a personal trainer?"

"Look beside you."

Linsey looked at Nene. Before she left, she gave me a credit card and teleported with Jasmine immediately.

I then looked at Nene, and it seemed to be her. Wow, she really could do it all. For someone as capable as her to become a maid seems weird.

"Nene."

"Yes~ Master~?"

"Do you know the credit card number?"

Linsey had never told me the PIN.

"Yes, I do~."

Then that was a relief. Inside, this card should be worth a billion. Now that I have money, I should buy some things for my mansion.
