World Most Annoying System (Tame or be Tamed)

During the evening of that day, Dean left his apartment and headed towards the house in the middle of the compound where he was staying. That was well-built, giving an ancient air, but it looked more modernized.

Fountain Hilltown has gone back to its normal day-to-day activities with those who were injured during the battle being attended to by the town alchemists. Since it has already befallen them, even with the casualty, it did not show in the things that were going on in the town. It was like the war had not happened recently if a stranger had entered the town. Which was a shocking experience.

"Young master, welcome Sir"

When Dean got to the door to enter the house he was greeted by two guards who were at the entrance guarding the door to the house.

"Thank you".

Dean replied with courtesy.

"Things seem different from the way they are behaving to me".

Dean thought to himself he could see that the way they were greeting him and the attitude of respect they had toward him was not there before it was a new display that he had not experienced for a long time.

"This all because of the display of my awesomeness during the battle That's why they are behaving this way,"

 Dean thought to himself, he also shared his thoughts with Zi in his sea of knowledge.

"What is there to be proud of? Because you are in the peak stage of the lower level of the foundation realm, that is why you are happy". Zi said and continued.

"I bet if you should see geniuses, you will let go of your pride and work harder than being happy with this low-level praise."

Zi said with seriousness, killing the mood of Dean, who was enjoying himself with the way they were acting toward him.

"why are you such a spoiler? You just ruined my good mood, but don't worry, I will let it slide this time". Dean said and continued. 

"Zi, you know, if it was not for something that was inside me all these years sucking my divine essence dry, I would be compared to one of those geniuses that you are talking about right now. Am I right"

Dean said with boldness not giving in to what Zi said, keeping the feeling he was experiencing.

"If it was not some foolish mechanism that I would have some kind of system in my datain that will need divine essence till it gets filled to a certain level before it would be able to activate, I would be in a higher plane. "

"I was stuck in the qi real for more than ten years just because of that" 

Dean thought to himself this time around not sharing his thoughts with Zi.

"I know what you are thinking, but don't put the blame on me; you should put it on yourself for not having the ability to draw more world energy into your body to speed the process of my awakening."

Zi said not backing off.

"I don't know why I'm always unable to beat Zi in wordplay".

 Dean thought to himself walking to the door to the apartment. He pushed the door open entering the house.

Dean did not stand on ceremony when he entered the house. He was walking left to right in the house, observing everything that was inside with a bright smile on his face like someone who was going through memory lane, giving him joy.

"After I left the house to my own apart, I don't usually visit Dad, it has been years since I have been in the house. I will just enjoy myself".

"how are you enjoying yourself, unfilial child, you are feeling at home right"

A few minutes after Dean entered the house, he was already sitting on a couch in the living room, lost in his memory of the experience he had in the house. He heard a voice that drew him back to reality.

Directing his attention to where the voice was coming from A man was wearing a handless shirt with black trousers, he was well built, fair skin with black hair that was faded cut and very neat, walking out from the passage leading to rooms in the apartment he was releasing an air of warm with a gentle smile on his face when he was talking. He was the chief of Fountain Hilltown, radiating with the air of a leader.

"Dad". Dean stated when he heard the words of the chief with a gentle smile like he was seeing his loved one 

Behind him was Alex, the brother of the town chief. As always, he was giving a cold air, giving people the impression not to come close to him.

"Yes I am indeed enjoying Myself just going through all the pleasant memories," Dean said with great pleasure.

"Dean we need to talk so let's head inside," The chief said while leading the way toward the dining table but he walked past the table and chairs heading to the wall behind the lead chair position he placed a token on the wall which opened a part for them, leading to a secret room.

Dean looked at the room, not all surprised, he seemed to have been to the secret room before.

After they entered the room the path that was opened in the wall closed up.

The room was about 10 feet square with a center table and chair around the table not that close to the table. They all sat down with the chief taking the leadership position.

"How are you, Dean? Hope you did not sustain any injuries," The chief asked, feeling concerned, but looking at Dean, he knew he was alright.

"Are you really okay, give me your hand?". Before the town chief could get over with checking up on Dean, Alex was already standing before Dean holding his hands and examining him to see if he was fine.

If the citizens of the town were there to witness what was happening, they would be shocked to their core because someone as cold as Alex was able to show care for someone, which was rare to see.
