The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Ah, there is a promotion crystal as Argus said there would be.

I could wait till I exit the realm and then take the promotion mission at the Magic Association branch in Winter City. I mean, this is what I should but the pressure is picking my brain.

I got a weird promotion mission. Now my brain was thinking what kind of shit hole I would find myself in. So after the bonding with the Nexus was over, I took the guidebook and searched for the promotion room that he had mentioned.

Though he only said that there is a promotion crystal present here, he never said where it is.

The Nexus is huge, much larger than what appeared outside. If not for the guidebook, I might have got lost.

---

The room where the promotion crystal was present looked very simple. This was probably so that the elements present in the room wouldn't cause any disturbances during the connection.

I walked towards the crystal and placed my hand over it. An unknown energy of warmth passed through me before a notification appeared.

[Detected that the Awakener has reached Tier-4 Level 100.]

[Awakener is qualified to take the Tier-5 promotion mission.]

[Choices were being generated...please choose one of the choices.]

--

Choice 1: Permanently enslave Inari (Recommended).

Choice 2: Be a Sis-con and make Eritrea yours(Recommended).

Choice 3: Kill Dorian Halter (Not Recommended).

--

What is there to think about?

I choose choice 3 as my promotion mission. I wouldn't choose any other option.

I only enslaved Inari because I needed to at that time and I didn't know anything about her but now it is different. I promised her freedom and I will keep my promise.

Becoming a Sis-con? That's out of the question.

It would appear funny in novels but that is not my choice of life. They are my sisters and in no worldly way or otherworldy way would do such things.

Killing Dorian, though it appears bad, is not. He is already my enemy and he planned together with William to kill me. So I won't have any grievances in getting rid of him. It was something I would do even if there was no promotion mission.

Now I have a promotion mission to kill him, I call it a bonus.

BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE!!!

So I decisively chose what I would do.

"I choose, choice number three", I spoke inside my mind.

Once I chose it, a confirmation message appeared.

[You have chosen the mission: Kill Dorian Halter.]

[Please complete the mission to progress to Tier-5.]

[You can forfeit the choice if you can't complete the mission. Rember by doing so, would reduce the grade of mission completion.]

Now that I got to see what my promotion mission was, and as there is still a day in the realm, I should check out the other facilities, especially the surveillance room.

Argus told me that everything that we did in the secret realm was being recorded, even what happens in the Nexus itself.

I have a promotion mission, Kill Dorian Halter.

There was also my personal agenda to eliminate him.

Though I knew that William was probably using Dorian as a tool to get rid of me without staining his hands, I have no sympathy for Dorian.

I collected a little bit of information about him and his family. He should have been thinking about how to help his poor parents, but he was interested in how to gain power and one-up others.

He was no different than the noble brats that he fought saying that they are bullies. If he was a noble child, I believe that he would have been worse.

Maybe his character was due to the system supporting him or he was like that from the beginning, I don't know and I don't care.

I don't care about him but after knowing about his family, I do feel bad that they would be alone once he was gone and there is a chance that they would die without his existence.

I know that was a possibility but I still chose the third option because even if I don't make a move, he would and that would be on his terms which would be to my disadvantage.

I can't have that.

When I face him, it has to be on my terms, not his. Only then I would have a chance of defeating him and not suffer in any way.

I believe his parents are still young enough. If they give birth to another child, I can anonymously send some money to raise the child or something like that.

It's the best that I could do.

There are always consequences for our actions and those are faced by even not you but someone else.

If he dies, his parents suffer and If I die, my parents would suffer. I would rather choose the others to suffer rather than my family.

Hmm, it looks like he killed two students and the reason, they were nobles.

These two kids found a resource before Dorian. They were fighting some monsters to gain ownership but he entered at the end and seized the resource by killing them at the end of the battle.

Well, those two are not honest either. They seized items from others too but that was something Dorian shouldn't know, yet he acted without remorse and killed them.

I say he killed them because they were nobles as there was a reason. One of them is...no was, notorious for bullying commoners. He was from class 1-A.

He commands other class nobles to bully commoner kids. I didn't know about that until recently. It came out as I was checking why that bully from 1-B and Dorian stopped fighting each other.

I watched Dorianseverly injure noble children when compared to commoner children from our academy. The other students, I don't know who's who but I can understand who's who from videos. So I can't comment on that.

Dorian has to die and I have a perfect plan for that.
