The Great Demon System

For now, they paid the man no heed and headed straight for the desk.

"Hello there sir! How may I help you!"

The girl at the reception desk's smile gleamed brightly, however that brightness clearly wasn't genuine considering her unfortunate line of work.

"Hello! We're interested in going to planet Igvar to do some monster hunting,"

Moby was the one representing his team standing directly behind him, as he did the kindest approach he could muster.

"Yes! That will be fine! There will of course be the fee and I have to scan all of your valid IDs, ple—"

"Get out of my way if you know what's good for you! I was here first! I only got messed up by that damn servant!"

Like a battering ram, he forced his way to the front of the line, even pushing Moby roughly to the side.

"Sign me in first! I just want to get this over and done with!"

Moby stood back and slowly stared at him, calming himself so he didn't instinctively punch him in the face.

When he inspected him, he found his power level to be all "???", which did not mean much other than he had some kind of item used to mask his presence. But, from the way he shoved him, Moby could tell that he might have to resort to sin-mode to beat him.

Attacking him now would have not been a good idea considering he knew nothing about the man in front of him or his father; he did not want or have time to offend people and cause trouble when it could easily be avoided.

If things went well, he might have other things planned for him later on...

The receptionist on the desk looked normal but she was not able to hide her sweat for long.

"I'm sorry sir, according to the rules you will have to wait yo—"

"Do you have any idea who the hell I am? Scan this! I'm James Weismann!"

Out of his storage ring, he pulled a silver ID card and placed it on the table.

And, the reaction of the secretary spoke for itself before she even uttered a single word.

"I-I am so sorry if I offended you! I only recently got hired... P-please! Right, this way! It seems like your father had already paid for this…" Her expression of slight concern shifted into clear panic, and her smile turned fidgety.

"Just got hired? Maybe I'll change that "H" in hired to an "F" when I get out of here…"

He grabbed his card from the desk after the lady scanned it and left off in anger towards a lit tunnel up ahead.

As soon as he left, the receptionist tried to calm herself down and turned to Moby once more with more depression on her face than before.

"I'm really sorry about that sir… It was just that—"

"No worries ma'am! I fully understand! This job must really be stressful with people like him,"

With a smile, Moby cut her off only to leave her in silence as she did not want to insult that man, most likely for her own safety.

"Thank you so much sir… *Click* …. Hmmm… It seems like you're a student… Mr… Moby… Kane…"

As soon as she read his name, her dull, depressed-looking eyes immediately grew wide in disbelief.

"You're Moby Kane? Like THE REAL Moby Kane? You are all over the news! I love what you did! I greatly admire you!"

Like flipping a switch, her expression turned into excitement.

'Another 'fan' huh?' Moby inwardly sighed as he had already gotten sick of the attention that he himself strived so hard to get and wanted to maintain.

"If you're Moby Kane… Then that woman behind you must be…"

"Hey, Layla! How's it going! Tough job isn't it?"

Moby instinctively looked back at Jayden with surprise, "You two know each other!?"

"Of course, she used to be one of the head cleaning maids in my mansion but after she fell ill, she wasn't able to work like she could before so she resigned since she didn't find herself worthy of her roll. I had no idea you came to work here or that we'll see each other again! And don't worry, as long as I'm here, that "H" won't be going anywhere"

"M-miss Griffith! I'm so sorry for what that man did! I can call security on him and get him punished immediately for showing such disrespect to a hero and a member of the Griffith family! His status means nothing to you!"

Jayden chuckled at her words, before she waved her hand up.

"No need! I'm sure he's having a hard time and we can work things out with him,"

"Oh… You truly are too kind young miss!"

Of course, Moby, Jayden along with Nags and Ray had been talking secretly in mind-link the entire time and the lady simply did not get the full motives behind it all.

"Okay! Now, all I need is all of your IDs, $1000 for each of you, and since it's your first time here I need you to sign these papers that basically state that we get a cut of whatever materials you find and we are not responsible if you die!" She spoke with a smile, one that was completely genuine, completely unlike the fake one she bore when they had just met.

After they were done with the receptionist, they all headed through that long tunnel and there, in front of a massive teleporter there was a desk with a dim, familiar-looking crystal, a smiling blond-haired man sitting behind it, sweat on his face probably from his last encounter.

"Please! Come over here before you get in!"

Just as they were informed, they took a lie detector test asking basic questions such as if they had any illegal possessions and things of the sort, basically formal and official business. Then, they lept into the teleporter that took them all to the new planet.

When they opened their hazy eyes, they found themselves in some sort of mini-hub around the size of a tennis court.

There, all around them were various other teleport-pads from the other teleporter bases around the world along with empty benches, only a single man sitting in the corner texting on his phone.

To their right was the only exit to the planet, showing them glimpses of what they should expect…

As they walked out, they noticed a wide, expansive purple grassland, flowers, vegetation and wildlife flourishing from as far as the eye could see, the sound of birds screaming up from the green sky above.

Around them was some sort of green forcefield that protected the teleport hub.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air and the feeling of the blue star shining on his skin, Moby changed into his battle outfit which made the rest of them do the same.

They rushed outside and ran towards a high hill which allowed them to see a scope of their entire area.

It was grasslands for as far as the eye could see with a silhouette of a forest in the distance, various beasts of all kinds that ranged from slimes, winged dog-like animals, and even plant-like creatures like Leshens and Treants roaming around.

And, out there far away in the distance was the figure of a man, most likely that same one from the desk, most of his features matched after all despite them not clearly seeing him even with their demon eyes. He seemed to be fighting waves of oncoming monsters using something light blue that upon closer inspection, Moby recognized as an ice ability.

He was not sure if that ice ability was the same one as his own heart of ice but he was certain he would find out very soon…

For the next few hours, Moby and his team spent the entire time training and fighting beasts. They did not find much struggling against monsters of that calibre although they had to keep an eye on Ray who was lacking in power.

For a good chunk of the kills, Moby and the others left a monster near death only for Ray to finish it off to get the XP and power level him up.

Although Moby was gaining most of the XP since the XP share was only one way, he only managed to gain a quarter of a level while Ray seemed to have gotten a fair amount stronger.

It seemed like mindless beasts simply did not give as much as humans or even other sentient beings which he just had to suck up and deal with…

At least partly…

Moby had a less than ethical plan going to increase his XP gain following that exact same principle and he could not wait any longer to do it...

For the next few minutes, Moby and the rest decided to do some scouting in the forest, keeping good communication with their mind-link until they came across a pack of green and black wolves assleep in a quiet clearing.

There were around 50, and each of them possessed a power level of 25,000 or more which was perfect— Moby could not help but chuckle slightly at what he was about to do...
