《The Novel's Unifier》Chapter 2 - The Start (2)

Once they had finished eating, Ron took their plates away.
"Young Master," Ron called, stopping Silvia from speaking, "I have something to discuss with you."
Danny felt his lip curve into a smile, as he turned to Silvia. "Excuse me," he said, walking away with Ron.
"I'll be heading back," Silvia said, though Danny stopped himself from turning back. "I'll see you at the Academy." Danny nodded, though he knew she couldn't see his head move.
They walked until they were near the back fences of the garden, when Ron finally decided to speak. "As you asked me to do, I have procured a list of people who can become your servants." Ron handed Danny a stack of papers, where a picture of the person, name, and other information was held.
Danny waved it away, saying, "What do I need those peasants for?" Danny hadn't meant to say those words, but it nearly had the same meaning.
Ron seemed surprised, as he said, "But you said that you needed-" He stopped himself from speaking, noticing Danny's nonchalant expression. "Nevermind. Can this lowly one give some advice?" Ron seemed playful as he even bowed. Danny nodded. "Don't get on anyone's bad side, as there are some who would not hesitate to kill you."
"I am the First Born of the Emperor, yet you say there are those who would kill me?"
'Thank God for my improv skills,' he thought. Ron nodded, as if he knew the environment.
"When do I leave for the Academy?" Danny asked, hoping for a lot of time.
"It starts next week, so roughly four days until we depart." Ron raised his eyebrows quizzically at Danny's question. "May I ask if you have any plans before then?" As if realising something, he added, "Ah, besides meeting that bi- Young Lady." He stopped himself, very obviously.

Danny breathed out shakily. "Take me back to my quarters." Ron bowed.
"As you wish," he responded, walking forward.
Danny was led back to the room he woke up in, though Ron didn't enter with him. Instead, Danny thought he saw Ron carrying a sneer.
But didn't care, as he was glad to shut the door. He soon forgot about Silvia and Ron, instead turning towards his own mind.
He was taking this remarkably well, he realised. But maybe it was all just a dream - that's what he was hoping.
He tried pinching himself. There was pain, but it still could've been a dream.
Nervously, he walked back up to the mirror.
There, the same face, not his, but maybe his. It seemed to be a mix of two faces, incomparable to the other. The eyes were in different spots, one nose was higher than the other, one mouth was bigger, etc. One almost looked like his face, but he couldn't tell. His hair, dark black, contrasted immensely with the blond hair.
Suddenly, the phone he'd forgotten about vibrated.
Fumbling, he took it out, looking at the new notification.

He opened the Status App almost instantly after reading the words.

For a split second, all Danny could think was, 'Wow,' before he blacked out.
A girl, beautiful with her flowing silver hair, walked down the estate's path. She was looking at her wrist, which held a smartwatch that had several notes.
"Damn him," she spat, barely audible enough. The nearby servants flinched, then acted like they never heard what she said. "If only he wasn't around, then I would become the master sooner." She scrolled down to a photo, one of Danny. He was smiling, much like he normally did when she was around. But there was a red 'X' over his face. "I will be the Empress."
Suddenly, the wind moved quickly, to which Silvia looked relieved. "How did it go?" she asked, turning off her watch.
"He seems like he'll agree soon, though we're not quite sure when," a voice answered, though there was no body to accompany it.
"Good, good. Speed up the preparations." Silvia seemed quite happy, as she smiled viciously.
"...As you wish." The voice didn't argue with her. "It shall be complete as soon as possible."

System Prime
The legend of System Prime is one that has been told and retold many times over the eons. About how she, along with her trusted partner, travelled the worlds of Ahunna (a.hoon.a), sharing the [Gift of System] to all who needed it. It is a great story. Somewhat factual too. As long as you overlook the fact that System Prime was never a woman. —— If this story seems familiar to you, then congratulations, you're psychic. Well, that or you've read it before on my old account, Eli8iR, which I had to delete because of a probably silly reason that will need a shitton of weed to make me spill. If you don't recognize this story, then unfortunately you're not psychic. On the bright side though, it has been scientifically proven that reading my stories might make you psychic. Or blind. But that only happened twice, and those guys should not have badmouthed my work. Enjoy.
