Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 235 Neatherrealm [Prologue]

[Volume 5: Netherrealm]

[Zero's POV]

"You guys came earlier than I thought. Aren't you, like, really, really busy or something?" I asked with a bit of surprised expression before I looked at that white-haired old man, observing me with a serious expression as he speaks,

"Miss Merlin asked me to come take you there."

Hearing his words, I ended up thinking a bit deeply about it. It has been just yesterday that I learnt about the Parasites coming earlier than when they are supposed to.

'I have a lot of work here… but still my direct involvement isn't required until a few months when the tournament begins,' I thought before I recalculated things which I was supposed to do in this month.

"Well… I would go but… keeping my safety in check, I would like to take a few people with me," I spoke as I observed Williamson Rose, grandfather of Elizabeth and Annabeth as he pondered about it before speaking.

"It depends upon who they are." "Lucas Laurentz, William Laurentz, Reeve Leeway, Linda Brown, Christine and Rheo Sherman," I said as I counted the number of people I needed to have with me.

"That's quite specific," spoke Annabeth, who was sitting with the two of us as she sipped her coffee and I saw Freeda, Annabeth's best friend, sitting at a distance, trying to get a clear look at my face.

"Well, I have my reasons. So, you think they would be allowed?" I asked with a bit of a question filled face and Williamson pondered before speaking,

"I think it would be fine."

"So, when are we leaving?" I spoke as I began drinking my coffee and Annabeth was the one who answered first,"we can leave this evening if it's fine with you. Though I wonder if you really have time with all the things you are trying to do at once."

I took a small sip of coffee, gulped it down with a humble smile,"I think I have more than enough time on my plate to meet the Queen Rose of the Rose Family, who is supposed to have died about a century ago."

'Never too late to meet a superpower, I believe,' I thought as I stood up and continued under the constant gaze of Williamson and Annabeth as,"Annabeth you have to stay here while Williamson, can you pick me up from my dorm? We will leave this evening as soon as you are ready. For now, I have to settle a few things before I leave." ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

Then I left from there as I peeked a little to see Freeda coming over to see Annabeth.

I looked at the time and it was 10:00 AM right now, so I should have about 8-9 hours to finish everything that I need to do right now.

I sent the message to Lucas and moved towards the outer city gate, where Reeve was supposed to arrive.

Taking a fast cab, I reached the place within 2 hours. In these 2 hours of travelling, I finished organising a few things that I required to be done in the meantime I'm absent from here.

If the Parasites were to happen within 2-3 months, then I have some contingency plans, but honestly, their chances of working were quite slim. Even if I am here with everyone, I doubt it would do little to change the destruction that they would be causing.

'I need to go to the Netherrealm soon enough,' I made up my mind as I needed my weapon, Deaths of Duality, the chained black dual swords.

Though since I was going to the Netherrealm, I thought of taking Rheo and Reeve with me, all the more because they could train there with me. Dark energy is prevalent there, making it one of the scariest places to lose your mind.

I probably won't be able to take care of everyone there, so I needed someone like Lucas or William, who has the power of light to help me on the journey. Well… honestly, there was one more reason for me to take them with me on this journey.

'It's about time I take Willam and Lucas to 'that' place,' I thought as I moved out of the car and began looking around to see if I could find Reeve around here.

"Is that Reeve Leeway? Oh! My! God! It's really him!" a girl shouted with love-struck eyes, making me look at her before turning in the direction where she was looking.

"Who's with him?" I heard another statement from the crowd that began forming around Reeve, Irene and Linda Brown.

"Isn't that Irene Leeway? The girl who was deemed as a failure before, but now she suddenly started getting stronger out of nowhere at a monstrous pace?" another one spoke and I recalled the skill that I gave her before.

Well, with that skill, she could easily surpass most of the people around here within months or so. I guess she has been diligently training.

A smile forms on my face as I move towards her slowly and slowly, before she finally looks at me and smiles before moving towards me. Though the one who looked happier was Reeve himself.

It was as if he couldn't contain his excitement at meeting me and I smiled at him before speaking,"we will be going somewhere tonight and your training will start probably after I finish the meeting with that person."

"At least ask about his well-being, you robot. He was so excited to meet you and here you are getting to the boring stuff directly," Linda spoke with an annoyed expression as she looked at me and I made a chuckle before speaking,"Maybe, I guess… Linda. You too have to come with me, along with Reeve."

"Huh? Me too? Why? What did I do?" She asked, making a slightly scared yet confused expression before I spoke.

"I think it is about time I tell you about 'that' place."
