"W-welcome back, young master."
The moment Orion walked into the mansion, a maid hurriedly stepped forward, bowing her head slightly as she greeted him.
Her voice trembled but it was not out of respect.
Instead her trembling showed that she was afraid.
Orion paused for a second, his eyes landing on her.
Of course she was also in the memories he received and he knew exactly why her reaction was like this.
She looked young, probably around his age, dressed in a simple maid uniform that was clearly worn out at the edges. Her hands were clenched tightly in front of her apron, her posture stiff like she was bracing for something.
For a moment, Orion said nothing.
"Relax," he said casually, walking past her.
"I'm not going to hit you."
The maid was visibly confused, then slowly looked up, surprise flickering across her face.
"Y-yes, young master."
She had heard the commotion outside, and whenever the fourth young master bullied Orion, she would be his punching bag for the day.
She hated it, she hated him, but there was nothing she could do about it, after all, she needed the money that the Ashbourne family paid and he was the only one in need of a maid.
The other young masters and mistresses were utterly uninterested in hiring someone like her.
So today, just as the previous times, she was prepared to be hit again, but surprisingly, they young master just....ignored her?
The maid's gaze then turned towards the girl that was behind the young master, she surprisingly had ears at the top of her head and a tail?
Well, it wasn't really surprising since the young master had strange fetishes, so it wasn't really her place to judge.
Instead, since the young master seemed to be in a good mood, she decided to stay out of his sights in case he ended up changing his mind and try to hurt her again.
The maid soon disappeared, leaving both Orion and Luna in the hallway of the quiet mansion.
Luna followed closely behind, as expected, her arm wrapped around his like she had already claimed permanent residence there
.
"Hehehe… Master lives here?"
"Unfortunately."
They walked through a short hallway before finally arriving at a door near the end.
Orion pushed it open without hesitation and he was faced with his room, or rather, the previous Orion's room.
It was underwhelming, to say the least.
In it was a simple bed, a wooden desk and a small shelf with barely anything on it.
There were no decorations or any other signs of life.
"Damn," Orion muttered as he stepped inside, "this guy really gave up, huh."
Luna stepped in after him, her eyes scanning the room slowly before she frowned.
"I don't like it."
"Yeah," Orion muttered, "me neither."
He closed the door behind them before walking over to the bed and dropping onto it.
The moment he laid back, he let out a long sigh and muttered, "alright, time to properly sort this mess out."
He went through his memories more carefully this time and sorted through his memories.
Most of the information there was ones available to the general public since even children of noble houses could only access the family's private library after awakening.
The rest of the memories, was Orion either being bullied, spending time in places disgraceful for a noble or being a bully to those below him.
In short, he was an ass.
"Yeah, I'd disown me too," Orion said dryly as he recalled the actions of the former.
He opened his eyes and muttered.
"Status."
A golden interface immediately appeared before him.
[MYTHIC SUMMONING SYSTEM]
[Host: Orion Ashbourne]
[Age: 15]
[Rank: Elite]
[Core Attribute: ???]
[Mythic Energy: 131 / 100]
[Contracts: 1]
— Luna (Elite)
[Skills:]
— Beast Storage
— Contract Mastery
"…131?" he asked in surprise as he saw his mythic energy, but then he remembered where he had gotten it all.
+50 from starter pack.
+30 from the first system mission
+20 from contract.
And finally, +30 from Luna defeating the boar.
"Huh," he sat up slightly, "so I can already summon again."
The summoning tab appeared before him as he contemplated calling forth another summon, but stopped when Luna suddenly spoke up.
"Is master going to summon someone else?" Her voice was a little colder.
"That's the plan," Orion muttered, "but I'm not too sure if I should go ahead with it."
Luna didn't seem to hear the last part as she suddenly asked, "am I not enough for master?"
"Huh?" he asked, a bit confused.
Luna's grip on his arm tightened slightly, and she forced him to pay attention to her.
She suddenly leaned forward, her face inches away from his.
"Am I being replaced already?"
"Why would you think that?" He asked in confusion.
"Master just got me," she said quietly, her voice soft but carrying a strange weight, "and already wants another."
With a sigh, he rested his hand on her head, already understanding the archetype she was.
A Yandere.
If he wasn't careful, he'd risk triggering her, and that was dangerous since she might just kill him.
'That old bastard really is determined to make my life hell, isn't he?' he thought, but calmly he said.
"I'll never replace you, got it?"
"Hehehe," Luna let out a chuckle as she felt her master's pets, her mood completely changing as she nodded.
Orion let out a sigh of relief as he noticed a change in her mood.
Besides, summoning another tight now, was definitely not a good idea.
Right now, he needed, resources, information and stability since this was now his real life, he had to properly plan it
"I should probably hold off on summoning more for now."
"Well," he muttered, stretching slightly, "step one… survive."
"Step two… get stronger."
"Step three…"
He paused as a smirk appeared on his face.
"Make all those idiots regret everything."
Luna looked up at him with gleaming eyes, "I'll help, Master."
"Yeah," Orion said, "of course you will."
