What's A King Without A System? - Chapter 28

The morning sunlight blinded the sleeping Zel. Though he knew that it was all a dream, there was still a lingering feeling inside him that wanted him to go back. It was only when he felt a pleasure from his lower body that he finally came back to reality.

"Pop. Good morning, tiger."

"Ahh…"

It still so early in the morning but she is already going at it. The pleasure that passed through his entire body was not complaining though. Zel knew that this was her getting back at him for the last time when he had his way with her. Knowing that surrendering would make both of them happy, he overreacted and moaned loudly. But was it really an overreaction?

"Good morning, love."

Emilia's head bobbed up and down while his penis was in her mouth as her tongue crawled all over it. Her hands were busy playing with his family jewels while the other held on to his right nipple and playfully teased it, just as he did for her. She knew how good it felt so this was a part of for plan of attack.

Zel couldn't help but laugh inside as he knew she had her movements in mind as it followed her well-planned attack. He knew that she had woken up earlier than him because her hair was already neat and tidy, which made it clear that he had not just happened to wake up a little after she did.

"Mmm!"

"Slurp."

"I'm close! Suck it harder!"

"Slurppppp."

"Cumming!" Zel's morning seems to be a wonderful solution to that momentary depression that was left behind from the dream.

He had experienced these many times, with the exhaustion of the mana drain added with the experience of death happening to him so much that he had already felt that it was normal.

In fact, Zel's care and affection would be called into question should he be asked about his friends and family as he had lifetimes where they had drifted apart, or the person might have even died and Zel had already moved on. This was still before he had spent time with them in the real world, but it seems to affect him with how much time he had spent with them since he knew how to end the dream earlier.

'I haven't met mom and dad in a while.'

Zel's family had been his priority for so long in his dreams that he grew tired of taking extra measures just to receive their affection. Building up relationships that won't translate to real life just doesn't make anyone feel gratified.

Though he knew that it was unfair to judge them like that, he can't just forget those memories. There is no 'delete memory of father's death' or 'forget that Maria was able to betray him' button. Those things that happened, even though they were just possibilities, haunted him and it showed in their relationships.

Even now, when he knew that it was the real world and that the dream world was different, he couldn't help but feel guilty towards Emilia. The choices he made in the dream had been unfair for her, not only did he intentionally miss some moments that would have made her happy because of it being less special if he did it again in real life, he had also made her lose her will to live by basically saying that she's disposable.

'I don't know what to do!'

If he was to be asked by another person that would have this power about an answer to this problem, he would just say to that the person could just stop using the power. A simple solution that removed the need to forget entirely, since it didn't happen. But he knew that was not possible.

'What if there are situations that I need to decide what's best for people?'

Similar to how his choice of clothes would decide whether he would get cold or get hot, it was now a basic part of Zel's life to always choose the best-case scenario to get everything 'just right'. The more he uses this power, the less he gets to use genuine judgement on his life. After all, who wants to make mistakes.

Emilia had finished cleaning up while pushing Zel towards the shower so they can finish. Their first hour had basically been a repeat of what happened last night, but it seemed to Zel like she was pushing herself too hard and decided to take the lead. Using his experience to make her satisfied was a basic thing, especially when he knew the right buttons to push at exactly the right time. Just as she likes it.

Now wearing clothes that make the two look like they are attending a corporal party, they went out of the house to visit Emilia's parents. It's only been a few days since they visited but since their request, though they willingly accepted, was still too big of a favor that warrants a visit at least.

"Let's stop by Tina's place for a while. I want her to meet them too."

"Sure, do we buy something to bring to your parents?

"Hmmm, I'm sure those two would appreciate sweets. But the kids will surely love them!"

"Let's buy some frappe then, those two kids would like them. Let's just bring cake for all four of them so that they all get to taste something similar."

"Lelsi's?"

"Yeah, let's go!"

Zel drove towards the Cake Shop first, knowing that it would take some time to get the cake done. If they visited Tina first then she would have to wait with them, which would be bad to make your guest do.

The Cake Shop was their favorite, Lelsi's Bakeshop. The owner was a woman in her early thirties, with her rather beautiful red hair, pale skin and tall body, you would have thought that this woman was someone in her twenties. She was holding the register when the two came in and she called out to them.

"Heyo! My favorite couple! You two seem to be closer than before? How is that even possible?"

"Oh come on, Jane! I told you not to do that!"

"But my little Emilia's got herself a boyfriend now! How could big sister not tease her a little?"

"Hmph!"

"Oh gosh, she's mad! How would I ever make it up to her?"

Jane Lelsi was someone who's studied in Lateneo a decade ago. It was also the time when she had started to get some simple work for more allowance, and that was babysitting. With how busy Emilia's parents were due to their hotel business being so micromanaged by the couple, they hired Jane to take care of Emilia.

The little girl seemed to really like Jane when they first met, though she didn't feel it was something to complain about honestly. Made the job a lot easier. However, there were time when the cutie would suddenly feel sad. Or suddenly feel happy. Mood swings that she didn't know the reason for, and it caused no small amount of worry to appear in her heart. Before she knew it, this little girl had become a part of her life.

"What would I do with this newly made batch of cake? I was experimenting with a new recipe and was going to have someone I like taste it and all but now..."

"Big sister! I missed you!"

"Oh my, is that Emi?" Jane has gotten used to this little girl and her easily teased heart. She knew more than one way to get this little girl to surrender, though most of it was with the use of sweets. Actually, they all involved sweets. What a sugar bee.

"So why did you two come by?"

"Zel wanted to buy some cake for mom and dad, they did us a huge favor you see."

"Hmmm, Aunt Lane and Uncle Jimmy like eating the Mango Cream Cake. Those two come by occasionally, and they usually buy that one."

"We'll take that one then, make it the biggest you have!"

"I take it you're paying?"

"Of course! This little girl is a working adult now you know!"

"Is that right? This won't be because you got a rich boyfriend now, is it?"

"He may be rich, but I'll be rich too, by my own two hands!"

"Mhmm. That's gonna be 80 dollars for the big one."

"Zel! Lend me some money!"

"Working adult, huh?"

"..."

Emilia was actually starting to get her own money by this point in time. Her reason for not having much money in her person was because she follows Zel's teachings with regards to investments.

The self-made millionaire had already taught her everything she needs to follow in his footsteps. Pooling her money and using it to invest in a company called 'Pantheon Industries', all $10,000. The money has so far only moved up by 23% but it's only really been a week after she did her investment, the procedure and requirements for the account had taken her sometime after all.

She had missed quite a few chances for a quick buy out since it happened before she got her account done. Still, that 23% is something that people might spent years to make. Imagine if that $10,000 was $1,000,000, she'd be making $230,000! Though it would be less since tax was going to get some of that, the commission too.

After saying goodbye, the couple left the shop while carrying the mango cake. After passing by a cafe to get two pairs of mocha chip frappe, they headed towards Tina's apartment.

"Knock. Knock. Tina! We're here!"

"I'm coming!" Zel and Emilia heard footsteps that were growing louder suddenly stop and it was only until the door's locks sounded like they were being unlocked that the door finally opened.

"You finally visited! Is having a boyfriend more important that your bestie now?"

"Hmmm, I don't know! Do I have to choose?"

"Haha!" The two girls started to chat while Zel just watched on. He was holding a frappe with one hand while the other was with Emilia. He saw her presenting the drink to Tina who took it gladly while pointing towards Zel.

"It's fine. We bought that for you. We share the one he's drinking anyway."

"Ohhh, so you two share everything now?"

"I guess so?" Emilia smiled towards Zel who gave a smile back.

Being part of a relationship should mean that you know when your partner is looking for support. This was one of those moments. Most people would just listen on but Zel had a better idea.

"Of course, she already has my heart. What's the point of keeping everything else to myself?"

"Oh hoho. Seems like Emilia really got you good, huh?"

"Hmmm, I don't know about that. It's more like Zel got me?"

"You make me sound like I forced myself on you!"

"Didn't you?"

"Oh my god! He did?"

"No I didn't!"

"No, he didn't."

"Good grief, those kinds of jokes are too much for my single heart!"

"I wanted him to though."

"Pfft." Zel who was drinking the frappe on the side after defending himself was so surprised at those words that he unintentionally spat out his drink. It would have been a bad joke if it weren't for that flirty look Emilia gave him. He coughed himself to a calm disposition while walking towards Emilia with his trademark smile.

Emilia was proud of herself of being able to get that reaction from Zel until she saw his smile that had trained her body to react to it as if it signified 'danger'. She took herself and ran behind the flabbergasted Tina who was still unable to get over the fact that her friend was now this forward. After all, this was the same girl who was unable to get the confidence to have a boyfriend before. She used to be like her, a pure innocent girl.

'What did you do Zel!?' An accusatory look from Tina made Zel anxious as he used a little bit of his mana to quickly overtake the still running Emilia.

He took her face in between his hands and pinched them to make her cheeks red while she giggled to herself at her achievement of teasing him. His flushed face was so cute to her, making it worse for the Zel whose embarrassment had reached new heights.

"Fine, fine, you two stop flirting! Let's go to auntie and uncle! I also want to meet the kids."

"Let's goouou!" Zel continued to squeeze Emilia's cheeks in indignation. It was only when he saw Tina's still accusatory look that he let go and lightly coughed.

"Ehem. Alright, let's go!"
