The Multiversal Travel System

Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Secrets and Challenges



I slowly open my eyes. I'm still in the Gremory mansion.

The atmosphere is calm, but my mind is not.

"The system is real. My abilities are growing. And Rias doesn't fully trust me."

[Secondary mission received] Mission: Explore the mansion

Objective: Discover information about the Gremory family without being detected. Reward: 300 system points + access to the map tab.

"Perfect."

I get out of bed and check the user's status.

Race: Human (??? - Unknown evolution potential)

System Points: 1500

Skills:

Lie Detection (passive) → 70% effectiveness and intentions.

Inventory: Empty.

"I need more skills and more information."

I leave the room and move cautiously through the mansion's hallways. The place is luxurious, but there's a constant sense of surveillance.

"I must move carefully."

As I walk down the hallway, I feel a presence behind me.

—...You smell strange.

I stop dead in my tracks. A small girl with white hair and golden eyes watches me coldly.

—Huh?

—You don't smell human.

"Koneko Toujou. One of Rias's most dangerous pieces. Her physical strength is brutal."

—I don't know what you're talking about —I reply calmly.

[Lie Detection activated] Koneko does not believe your words.

"Damn."

—Rias said not to bother you, but I'm watching you.

Her eyes narrow, and she walks away without saying more.

I take a deep breath. This is getting complicated.

[Secondary mission updated]

New objective: Avoid Koneko while exploring.

I reach the mansion's library. It's enormous, filled with shelves of hundreds of books.

"There must be useful information here."

I approach one of the shelves when a new notification appears.

[Secret mission activated]

Mission: Forbidden Knowledge

Objective: Find information about the demon hierarchy.

Reward: 500 system points + access to the world history tab.

"Interesting."

I start searching through the books until I find an ancient tome titled "History of the Supreme Demons."

I open it and begin to read.

[Tab unlocked: World History]

A torrent of information floods my mind:

Demons are divided into powerful clans. Sirzechs Gremory is one of the four Demon Kings. Angels and fallen angels have peace treaties, but tension still exists.

"This confirms that this world is in calm before a great conflict."

Suddenly, I feel a presence behind me.

—It's curious that a human is interested in the history of demons —says a seductive voice.

I look over the book and see Akeno Himejima smiling at me.

"Here we go again."

She slowly closes the book.

—History is always interesting —I reply calmly.

Akeno steps closer, leaning dangerously near me.

—Really? Or are you looking for information for something else?

[Lie Detection activated] Akeno is trying to provoke you for information.

"So she's testing me."

—Just simple curiosity —I say nonchalantly.

Akeno doubts your answer but doesn't show it.

She smiles, but her eyes reveal interest.

—Then, maybe we can talk more later~

She turns around and leaves. But I know I'm now on her radar.

[Secondary mission completed]

Reward obtained: 300 system points + map tab unlocked.

Now I can see a detailed map of the Gremory mansion.

"This will be useful."

Rias and her growing interest

I return to my room and find Rias waiting for me, sitting on a sofa.

—It seems you've adapted quickly.

—I'm trying —I reply calmly.

Rias stares at me intently.

—You know? It's strange. Your aura still feels different from a normal human's.

"Damn, they're getting suspicious too quickly."

—I don't know what to tell you. I just... woke up here.

Rias isn't convinced.

She crosses her legs and sighs.

—Alright. But if you find out that you're hiding something from me… you'll pay dearly.

She gets up and leaves.

This is a problem.

Main Mission Activated

Just as Rias leaves the room, the system gives me a new mission.

[Main mission received]

Mission: Find an ally

Objective: Find someone in the Gremory mansion who can be trusted.

Reward: 1500 system points + special skill.

I look at the screen seriously.

"I need to find someone who isn't completely loyal to Rias or who can help me."

My gaze lingers.
