《Immortal With A System》A Plan?
Advertisement
Akemi sits on a wooden bench on a playground and he leans back looking at the sky "why do I still need to do this? Does the system still think I'm not strong enough?"
A window appears in front his face
Window: Akemi Haruki
Level: 25
HP: 1580
MP: 280
Title: Wolf Slayer
Job: God Of The Abyss
Strength: 89
Agility: 89
Intelligence: 1,525
Defense: 59
Luck: 20"
Akemi leans up "I don't even need the rewards anymore" he looks to his right and sees a big clock on a building "oh, it's that time already huh?" he gets up
Later
The doors of the adventurer's guild opens and Akemi walks inside
Ming Bao standing next to the counter and bows "welcome benefactor"
Akemi stares at Ming Bao with a confused look
Ming Bao looks up and smiles nervously "i-is something wrong?"
Akemi: "How did you know I was coming?"
Ming Bao: "I've been waiting here patiently since early this morning"
Akemi: "Hmm, I see"
Ming Bao steps to the side and holds his hand out towards the yellow staircase "the paperwork is all finished, shall we?"
Akemi walks past Ming Bao and up the staircase
Ming Bao follows Akemi and opens the door to the office
Akemi walks inside the office and sits in the chair in front of the desk
Ming Bao sits behind the desk and opens a drawer with his left hand, after a moment he pulls out a sheet of paper and gives it to Akemi "here you are bene-"
Akemi grabs the paper "my name is Akemi....Akemi Haruki"
Ming Bao: "o-of course" he puts a pin on the table
Akemi reads the paper carefully
Ming Bao closes his eyes and smiles "Is everything to your liking?"
Akemi looks at Ming Bao "are you sure about this?"
Ming Bao: "about what?"
Akemi: "it says here, we will be splitting the profit from my sales 70/30"
Ming Bao: "Oh yes, that is one benefit to becoming my benefactor"

Akemi puts the paper on the desk and picks up the pen
Ming Bao Thoughts: "I will do anything to bring you to my side"
Akemi signs his name on the line and gives it to Ming Bao
Ming Bao smiles and takes the paper "Thank you very much!"
Akemi: "now then, Ming Bao I have a favor to ask of you"
Ming Bao: "As long as it's within my power"
Akemi: "Don't worry it's a small favor"
Ming Bao: "I'm listening"
Akemi: "Well you see, as of now I am enrolled in Minha Academy so, I'm not officially a hunter therefore I can not enter rifts until I receive my hunter's license"
Ming Bao keeps smiling
Ming Bao Thoughts "Did this little fucker trick me!?"
Akemi: "But I have a plan to get around it"
Ming Bao: "A plan?"
Akemi: "I'm sure you have a few trust worthy hunters right?"
Ming Bao: "Indeed"
Akemi: "Then please try to find at least two B rank hunters and one A rank hunter to go to the rift with me"
Ming Bao: "Oh?"
Akemi: "But they don't need to do anything I just need them there as a decoy for the union. I will enter the rift by myself and clear it"
Ming Bao: "Um, by yourself? Are you sure?"
Akemi: "of course, who do you think I am?"
Ming Bao: "Alright, I will get on that right now...Um"
Akemi: "Hm? What is it?"
Ming Bao: "If I may ask, why B and A rank?"
Akemi: "Well, the higher their ranks are, the higher rifts they can go to right?"
Ming Bao: "Correct"
Akemi stands up "it might be ideal to start slow, find me a C rank rift first then we'll move from there"
Ming Bao: "Hmm, if it's only a C rank rift then..."
Akemi: "Hm?"
Later, Elsewhere
Two men and one woman are standing in front of a rift
A ding comes from a phone
A boy with short black hair and light green eyes wearing a school uniform pulls a phone from his pocket

The boy looks at the phone then looks at the other two "It's from uncle"
A boy with short black hair, red eyes, a black button down shirt with white fur on the shoulders, black pants and a gold necklace looks at him and smirks "about that time"
A girl with long black hair in a ponytail, blue eyes, a short light purple shirt with no sleeves, and purple pants "what did our dear uncle say?"
Boy with green eyes: "He said there will be someone joining us, but we don't need to enter the rift"
Boy with red eyes: "Huh? What does that mean"
The girl looks at the boy with green eyes: "What does he mean by that Haru?
Haru shrugs his shoulders
Boy with red eyes: "The hell!? We came all the way here and now he says we can't go in!? What is that bastard thinking!?"
Haru: "You know how he is Ken"
Ken he looks at the girl "Fumiko!"
Fumiko: "stop being so impatient, we will find out once that person gets here"
Ken: "Tch, why are you guys always so calm about this?"
Fumiko: "We've just gotten used to it"
Moments Later
Haru looks to his right "Is that him?"
Ken looks to his left and sees Akemi
Akemi walks towards the rift
Fumiko stares at Akemi
Haru holds out his hand "Oh, you must be the person my uncle was talking about"
Akemi shakes Haru's hand "Yes, I'm sure fatty already told you about me?"
Fumiko: "Fatty?"
Haru: "But may I ask what is going on exactly? He didn't tell us everything"
Akemi: "Of course first, You guys don't need to enter the rift. Second, you guys will still get the rewards for clearing the rift"
Fumiko: "So we just have to stand here and get paid for looking pretty? Sounds like a good deal to me"
Akemi: "Third, I will be entering this rift alone"
Ken, Haru and Fumiko looks at Akemi with a shocked face
Ken: "Alone? Are you serious right now?"
Akemi: "Of course"
Fumiko: "May I ask what rank you are?"
Akemi puts his left hand on his chin "Hmm...D"
Haru, Ken and Fumiko: "D!?"
Ken: "Hey, do you have a screw loose or something? This is a C rank rift" he gets in Akemi's face
Akemi: "I am well aware"
Haru coughs "Ok ok, maybe we should introduce ourselves. My name is Haru, the leader of this team and a C rank hunter" he pulls Ken back "this guy here is Ken a C rank hunter and our older brother"
Ken turns his head "Hmph!"
Haru pulls Fumiko "And this is Fumiko a C rank hunter and our younger sister"
Fumiko: "Hi hi~!"
Haru: "What is your name?"
Akemi: "My name is Akemi a D rank hunter, pleasure to meet you all"
Haru: Um, Akemi you are only D ranked correct? Why are you trying to enter a C ranked rift alone?"
Akemi walks in front of the rift "because others will only slow me down"
Ken: "Slow"
Fumiko: "You"
Haru: "Down?"
Ken: "Huh? What was that!?"
Fumiko sighs "stop it Ken, just let him go, if uncle let him go then he should be alright" she grins "after all, he's talking so big, let's see if he can back it up"
Akemi walks into the rift and the bright sky and surroundings turns into a dim cave "A cave this time huh?" he looks around
TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP
Akemi looks ahead of him and dozens of small red ants with bright red eyes comes from the darkness "oh? Just ants?" he walks slowly "Come..." his shadow expands behind him as he's walking
Skeletons start raising from the shadow and Solace appears standing next to Akemi
Akemi: "Let's hurry, this up...I'm hungry"
