Chapter 14: The Receptionist.

Felix along with the others stood nervously in front of the door of the guild. The door was black in color with red demonic engravings reaching close to 3 meters above the ground. It looked suffocating standing there as if being looked at by evil devils.

'Did I make the wrong decision coming here?'

He did not think it was a great idea to enter the building but the blue-haired Noah did not seem to notice his plight as he took a card out of his pocket and pressed it onto a drawing in the middle of the door that looked like an evil eye.

"Okay, and here we go!"

The drawing made Felix feel like a devil was peeking at him from inside, making him shiver at the mere sight of it. After Noah showed his card, the door glowed reddish around the engravings before it slowly opened.

Felix widened his eyes as the door opened, revealing a hall with many empty sofas at the right and a reception area on the left with someone sitting behind.

The hall appeared like it was well-maintained with lots of unique paintings hanging on the white wall and a magnificent golden chandelier on the ceiling. There was a big board pinned with many papers and notes on it beside the reception area.

The floor was made from what looked like black marble and had an elegant feel to it. Straight ahead of the door around ten meters away, there were stairs that led to the second floor. Overall, it seemed that the person who designed the hall had a dark and gothic sense of style.

"Beautiful...."

Felix blurted out absently as he stared around the hall which was not something that an ordinary person would ever see in their life. He had never seen something like this even on Earth, maybe only those large castles of some royal families would look similar.

"Come here Felix, I'll introduce you to the receptionist."

Noah went ahead to talk with the receptionist. They seemed pretty close to her as she smiled happily and stood up when they came inside.

The receptionist was a mature-looking woman wearing a dark red robe over her curvaceous body with shining black earrings that enchanted her looks. Standing straight at 1.65m tall height, she had her blond hair tied in a ponytail and her flirty blue eyes seemed to want to make fun of little kids.

"Miss Elsa, we brought a new member for the guild. Oh and also here to submit our mission."

Noah smiled as he pointed at Felix who was standing there nervously. Hearing Noah call him, he looked at the receptionist and greeted her.

"Ah! Hello there. My name is Felix and I wish to...join the guild?"

Felix said unsurely as he was not yet ready to join something that he had no idea of, but he also had nowhere else to go that was why he decided to come here.

Miss Elsa seemed to have noticed his obvious intentions as she smiled at the boy and spoke with her alluring voice.

"Nice to meet you, Felix. My name is Elsa and I'm the receptionist of the Twilight Chaos Guild. You must have some difficulties in joining the guild right? It's not a problem, we can sit in the lounge and discuss it. But before that, let me submit their mission."

[First of all, the system cannot be a bastard.]

'What the hell', he jumped up again when a voice spoke in his mind but stopped himself from shouting. Then he realized that it was the voice of the system.

'You...You can speak in my mind? Wait more than that, you can hear my thoughts?'

[Affirmative. I never made trouble for the host. It was the host himself who acted crazy at serious times. And yes, I'm here to help you and not...kill you]

Felix shivered at the end of the sentence, but he shook his head and asked the system again.

'Wait. If you can speak in my mind then why didn't you tell me about it before?'

[The host never asked.]

'Sigh...there's no way I can depend on you from now on', shaking his head, Felix cleared his thoughts and again leaned back on the sofa as his muscles relaxed

His internal mind wasn't working right at the moment because of the intense situations that kept happening one after the other, especially when his previous life was mundane and boring to the point of calling it 'grey'.

'If I can't ask the system, then I'll have to create something myself.'

Felix closed his eyes as he started imagining any skill by remembering many anime and manga that could help him at the moment.

'Hmmm...What should I create?'

He sank into deep thought as nothing seemed to come inside his mind that could potentially let him know more about the world.

'Even if there is a skill that could do that, it's not something my 10 skill points could afford. That means I'll have to think of a simple skill and not something grand.'

'Think...think...think'

Holding his head, Felix groaned as he tried really hard to think.

'wait, I think this may be possible. Let's try...'

Almost giving up, he asked the system.

'System, create the skill.."
