Misty World: Start with SSS skill
Chapter 288 Ancient Ruins



Seeing Hikaru, Tsuraguki immediately approached him, but unlike usual, she just stood in front of him and said very seriously: "Master, I am 'helping' this Harpies understand what discipline means, I hope master doesn't mind."

Hikaru nodded: "It's okay, don't worry about me, just do what you think is best."

"Yes, master."

Hikaru pointed at Mika and said: "This is Mika, she will help you make your uniforms. If you have any requests or suggestions, you can tell her."

Tsuraguki glanced at Mika and smiled: "This is the first time we are meeting, I'm Tsuraguki."

Mika bowed respectfully and said, "This is also my first time meeting you, I am Mika."

Although this was the first time Mika met Tsuraguki, she knew that Tsuraguki was Hikaru's mistress, or to be more precise, Mika's queen and mistress.

Therefore, Mika did not dare to be rude, so she immediately bowed respectfully.

Tsuraguki generously said: "Don't be too respectful, you and I are the same, we are both subordinates of master."

Mika heard that and looked at Tsuraguki, who was smiling friendly at her. She also covered her mouth while smiling and said: "Tsuraguki, you are very similar to master."

"Hm?!"

"Hm?!"

Hikaru and Tsuraguki looked at each other, confused, then looked at Mika. At this point, Hikaru said: "Okay, Mika, you stay here, wait until Tsuraguki is through 'teaching' the Harpy group, then work with them."

"If you want to go back, there's a secret path underground, Tsuraguki knows that way very well, so she can guide you."

Mika lowered her head and replied, "Yes, master."

Hikaru then left. Tsuraguki now said to Mika: "You can sit on the other side, it's a bit hot here, so you should wait for me to finish 'teaching' this group of Harpies, then I will let you work with them."

Mika nodded and said, "Master asked me to sew a military uniform with the following requirements: to show the strength of the army, durability, character, and ease of movement."

"Tsuraguki, do you want to add or change anything?"

When Tsuraguki heard that, she smiled and said: "No need, I feel that what master said is enough, it's just..."

"Hm?!"

"Mika, what material are you planning to use to make the uniform?"

Hearing Tsuraguki's question, Mika just sighed and said, "I don't know what materials to choose for the uniform. Most of the materials used to make the clothes that I have were brought by Selvih and Anno."

"If you want to make the best fabric, it would take a very long time. Besides, I don't have better fabric-making equipment than the one Selvih and Anno gave me."

When Tsuraguki heard that, she could only sigh: "Haizz, if it's about the technology of weaving, I can't help you."

Mika smiled and said, "Hahahaha… It's okay, I'll figure it out myself. It's my duty anyway, I'll do the best I can."

"Um… I also believe you can do it."

Mika nodded, then pointed at the Harpy group hanging from the pole, and nervously said, "Tsuraguki… They're almost 'ripe'."

"Ah! I forgot."

After that, the smell of grilled chicken spread throughout the training ground….

…

Hikaru went back to his office because he heard Anno say that she had something to do with him.

Hikaru now felt that he wasn't as free as he thought.

He realised that being a king was not about becoming a person who was free and could enjoy life, but it was about becoming a person with more responsibility and someone who does whatever it takes to accomplish his goals.

Rika suddenly spoke up: [Master, perhaps you need a secretary.]

"Secretary?"

[That's right. A king can't do small things like this on his own, you need a secretary to help you manage the affairs and handle the errands.]

Hikaru nodded, Yes, every leader has a secretary. Whether on ancient or modern Earth, a person with a high position usually had a follower who acted like a secretary.

But where is his secretary?

Anno, Selvih, and Tsuraguki currently all have their own missions. Saraya was definitely not able to take on that role, Vuni was…

He also couldn't replace a suitable monster card to use to become his secretary.

Hikaru sighed, he felt that replaceing a secretary was more difficult than solving the current problem of the territory.

Hikaru now appeared in the office, Anno had been waiting for him for a long time. He smiled and said: "You can rest more, you don't have to work so much."

Anno sat on a chair, wearing a white one-piece dress, her brown hair hanging down her back. She held a cup of hot tea and enjoyed it while viewing the information on what she was going to do today.

When she saw Hikaru coming, Anno hurriedly placed the teacup on the table and stood up to greet him. After that, Hikaru sat on the sofa, and Anno also naturally sat on his lap, and wrapped her two hands around his neck.

Anno's face turned a little red: "Yesterday you were so strong, but you still got up early this morning, that's why I have to get up early to help you work."

Hikaru smiled and hugged Anno in his arms. She was like a small doll, but she was so beautiful and delicate that he didn't want to let go of her.

Anno's soft body and faint scent made him a little intoxicated. Anno's face suddenly turned red like a ripe apple. Her face was full of charm and cuteness.

Anno raised her head and then kissed him on the cheek, leaving lipstick marks on his face. She then smiled and said, "Okay, we should get to work. Yesterday you were too strong, now it still hurts a little."

Anno said this while looking very frustrated. Hikaru forced a smile, he stroked Anno's face and said: "You can use magic to ease the pain, why not use it?"

Anno shook her head: "No, I want to feel it like your love for me, it helps me feel that you are always by my side. Moreover…"

She now whispered into his ear: "I still have your 'milk' inside."

The stimulating words, coupled with the sweet and warm breath on his face, made it hard for him to control himself.

Hikaru sighed, although Anno said that they should work now, what she was doing was seducing him. As people say, men can't guess what women are thinking.

Anno giggled,  She felt like teasing him more, but she knew that now wasn't the time.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, Kiki, I have something important to tell you."

"Important"

"That's right. A relic has just appeared, and the other kingdoms are moving towards that relic. There are rumours that the ancient kingdoms and the Saric Sanctuary will appear."

"So what does that have to do with us?" Hikaru frowned and asked, yes, what did the appearance of some ancient ruins have to do with him?

Anno shook her head and said, "Kiki, you may not know it, but ancient ruins are often hidden by ancient sealing magic. Only when the time is right will those ancient ruins appear."

"Inside ancient ruins, there are often many high-class items, remnants of ancient times. It even has things inside that help other people break through the level 99 limit to reach a higher level."

Hikaru nodded at that, he also knew how the ancient levels were divided from the information that Nekomaly had provided.

In fact, levels 1–99 were still the same as the current calculation of this world and the system. However, after level 99 is level 100, also known as King level.

The King level was divided into 10 sub-levels, from King level 1 to King level 10. Then, at King level 10, a person can be promoted to become a pseudo-saint.

The pseudo-saint level is divided into 30 sub-levels, and those 30 sub-levels are likened to the 30 steps to becoming a true god.

If you pass all 30 steps, you will reach the Half-Saint level. This level also has 10 sub-levels, but these 10 sub-levels are likened to 10 clouds.

After overcoming those 10 clouds, you would completely become a saint, or it can be said that you are the god of this world.

In the history of this world in ancient times, there is a detail that says that this world is covered by ten layers of clouds.

If you can overcome those 10 clouds, you can jump out of this world and into the world of the gods.

Hikaru thought that perhaps after becoming a saint, he could break free from the system's control, escape the shackles of this world, and become an existence that everyone called a God.

The levels were clearly divided as follows.

After level 99, a person will become a king.

After passing the 10 minor levels of King, you will become a pseudo-saint.

The pseudo-saint has 30 steps, after climbing all 30 steps, you would become a half-saint.

The Half-Saint has 10 layers of clouds, after surpassing the 10 layers of clouds, you would then become a Saint.

Hikaru felt that the road ahead was still too far. Currently he is only level 50, which compared to becoming a saint and getting out of the system's control is still too far.

However, he had faith that he could do it.

Back in the present, Hikaru asked, "So… how did you get this information?"

"Thanks to Bryen." Anno was telling the truth.

"Bryen? You know her."

Anno shook her head and said, "I don't know her, but mom told me about her existence. Mom also said that she would be a member of your harem in the future."

Hikaru: "..."

Although he did not know how beautiful Bryen would be after losing weight, Selvih was too hasty. Hikaru didn't need that many people in his harem right now.

However, the information Bryen brought was also important. Right now, what he lacked the most were the resources of this world, things like fabric materials, seeds, etc. were all necessary for the development of the territory.

Hikaru asked: "So… when will that relic appear?"

"About 12 days later, now the ancient kingdoms and the Saric Sanctuary have sent representatives to explore. I fear that place will be very chaotic." Anno rubbed her chin and said.

"However, this is not the first time an ancient relic has appeared. Every time the ancient ruins appear, a brutal war breaks out."
