Eye System

Chapter 63: Opportunities

Lex's life has been wild and fast-paced ever since he integrated with the system. Over a month and a half with the Eye System he went through more than people go through in their lifetime and he now was in another reality with another chance at life.

Now that he had somewhere that he felt the natural instinct to protect and help, which is the orphanage, he felt that in this life he would have a positive task to act as his retribution.

Seeing the old woman poor yet still willing to turn her store into an orphanage and didn't give up on the children even after being stolen from many times, touched Lex's heart.

With three targets in sight, to help Angela, find and help Ella and look after the orphanage, they all had the same solution as everything else in life.

Wealth, strength and power.

Even though he felt he was ignorant when he fell for Ella, he still couldn't change how he felt towards her. She was beautiful, talented, similar to him and although the time they spent together was short, he still felt the need to find her again and take her as his girlfriend as the perfect girl in his eyes.

He had two other missions he had accepted, which as F-Rank missions of the lowest level were not extremely hard and didn't require Lex to prepare.

Intentionally choosing the easy missions first to ease his body into being able to keep up with his mind and his eye power, Lex's next mission was to take a valuable good from one store to another.

With the inventory function, delivering items would be easy for Lex, unless there were any complications on the way.

"I need to go to the jewellery store nearby that I can sense and safely deliver it to another store 10 miles away from that and after receiving conformation the guild can give me the rest of my spirit coins," he mumbles to himself as he walked in the dark dimly lit streets.

Lex's need for money was now stronger than ever, with dozens of children counting on him to provide money to the orphanage.

Although it wouldn't be respectful to go to the jeweller in the middle of the night, leaving a good image was the least of Lex's worries.

The missions he chose were missions he knew were nearby and after accepting the mission he gains a connection with the area to collect the valuable item and where to deliver it.

{Ding, After your first kill you have received the Scouting Eye} announces the system within his mind.

Lex was overjoyed by this notification and remembered that after killing the government soldier who was attacking the rebel, he gained the Scouting Eye.

{Ding, Mission Issued - Become an E-Rank in 14 days, the fastest time to ever become and E-Rank from being LVL 1 - Reward: C Rank Eye Power and Dual Eye}.

Lex felt that he had the perfect start in this life and realised how lucky he was to have the system, but it also revived his curiosity about its origin and why he was chosen.

He had his past life's memories as well as this Lex's memories and in this life had the Spacial Eye, the Voltiac Guild, was already on a vast land that was most likely the Lower Plains and had missions to do to gain incredible rewards.

Everything was set with the opportunities for a great start, all that needed was for Lex to grind as much as he can to become stronger and accumulate as much wealth as he can in a short amount of time all while gaining status and power within the Voltiac Guild.

The hooded figure wearing a white robe walked through the dark eastern Outer Aria streets in the market region.

"The jeweller should be somewhere around here" he mumbles.

He felt that the pick-up point was there, but he couldn't see a jeweller anywhere around him and could only see a rundown shop that had a broken window.

"Anyone in," asks Lex as he pushes the creaky door that was unlocked.

"Get out of my store" roars a loud, hoarse voice that startled Lex.

Scouting Eye.

As his eyes became completely white and his senses fused with his surroundings, Lex could see a small quivering male figure holding a golden ring in his hand.

"Come out I was the one that accepted the F-Rank Mission and don't mean any harm" states Lex.

The small figure was still scared and hid the ring under his tongue, which didn't go unnoticed by Lex with his Scouting Eye.

Peaking over he saw a hooded figure that seemed to have a black cover over his face which made it impossible to see his face.

"Can't you feel the connection with me as the mission holder, so give me the ring under your tongue so I can deliver it" tells him, Lex, getting frustrated, as he withdrew his Voltiac identification and put his palm out.

Seeing mission receipt he had react with Lex's card and that he knew about the mission and knew that the ring was under his tongue, the stubby man had no choice but to believe him.

Embarrassed he takes the ring from under his tongue and wipes it on his clothes and places it on Lex's palm.

"The mission will be completed tonight and I will go to collect my payment from the guild" states Lex as he turns to leave.

Although he was curious about the ring and the situation, but he didn't want to ask questions that weren't his business and just wanted to complete as many missions as he could in a short amount of time.

Walking out of the trashy store Lex was about to rush off before the man called out to him.

"Wait, come back I need to give you a warning first" calls out the man.

Turning back Lex was beginning to get really annoyed at this man.

"What is it," he asks directly.

"I am warning you to be careful with the ring, I sold it to a researcher because it is too dangerous to keep around you, and everyone that put it on died straight away and it is haunted so quickly get rid of it as soon as you can. If it isn't accepted by somebody it will haunt you and bring you bad luck" he shouts out to him as he runs off in the other direction as if trying to get away from the ring.

"I finally got rid of it, I can finally be happy again" he exclaims as he runs off into the distance joyously.

"Just what the hell is this thing" exclaims Lex looking at the golden ring with a red jewel in his hand.
