Chapter 5: That’s one crazy deadline!
"Well, boy, looks like you decided to rejoin us in the land of the living". He said, his voice was deep and gruff.
"Hello Mr Simon". I said with an uneasy smile.
"Hello boy". He greeted in reply, he raked the leaves into a compost pit. I see you're back on your feet now.
"Yes sir". I replied, I felt feverish just from standing there under the sun. I'm not at my strongest but I promise to fully up and helping you on the farm in no time sir.
"Come back whenever ya feel like". Mr Simon said. "Your days wages are being subtracted anyway". He let out a huge chuckle and rubbed his belly.
Stupid farmer bitch.
I didn't know what it was, but ever since I got to this place I had been having a nasty countenance and thinking mean things. Perhaps the previous owner of the body wasn't such a goodie two shoes after all.
"Well, it was nice chatting with ya, but I have to go back in now, I been here all day, the missus prolly misses me". Mr Simon said with another chuckle, he rubbed his belly again and he gave me the rake. "Can ya help me put this back in the shed?" He dusted off his hands and went into the house.
Already giving me chores, old man?
I held the rake, trying to look for the shed. It shouldn't be difficult to recognize, if I saw one i would recognize not. The problem was that I didn't see it.
My legs started to wobble slightly and I felt the fever rising back up, I needed to sit down, I scanned the barn for a place to rest but there was none.
"What are you doing with that?" Ava's voice said from behind me.
I turn around startled. "Your dad told me to put it in the shed, but I'm having trouble finding it". I said to her.
Ava smiled and grabbed my hand. "Come I'll show you the shed".

"Okay". I replied as she dragged me along.
I have a question. I told her, there was something that had been on my mind for a while now and I planned to ask her since but I kept forgetting.
"What is it Levi?" She asked in that innocent voice of hers, a wave of desire rose in me at the sound of her voice.
I'm obsessed with you Ava.
"You said I was passed out for three days when I was sick". I said.
"Yes you were". She said and nodded.
"When I was passed out, there was no way I could eat or drink, so how did I get enough nutrition to stay alive?" I asked her.
Ava looked at me with her pretty face. "You didn't". She said slowly.
"What?" I gasped. "How did I survive then?"
The sun had gone down almost completely at this point, a lone ray struggled to permeate the sky.
"What do you mean?" I asked her, I was bewildered, there was no way the body could have survived without getting the essential nutrients.
"You couldn't open your mouth, couldn't eat". She replied, her face became downcast. "I knew if I left you like that you wouldn't make it, so I called my friend over. She's a level one mage who specializes in healing. For two hours everyday she strengthened you with her magic, it wasn't a perfect replacement for food but it helped a little".
"Wow, I owe your friend my gratitude, without her I'd be gone". I replied calmly but in my head, I wasn't calm at all.
There's magic in this world! My head spinned at the realization of that statement, there was magic ability in the people and they practiced it freely, even had levels for it.
There's magic in this world!
There were a set of people on this planet that could practice magic and I'd always wanted to practice magic, and now I could be one of them.
We arrived at the shed just then and Ava helped me put the rake in the shed and closed the door.
"I need to go finish my chores". She said and ran back towards the house.
I sat by a tree stump and watched her behind jiggle as she ran off.
System, what are the levels of magic? I asked.
[There are nine levels, one star for each level]
I nodded, so the girl who saved my life was just at the lowest level, a one star mage yet she was strong enough to save my life, how then would a higher level mage, let's say a three star or four star mage, perform?
"Can I be a mage?" I asked.
[Yes, in order to be a mage one needs mama, which you possess]
"I do?" I asked, shocked.
[Yes, would you like to see your mana points?]
"Of course". I said, annoyed it wouldn't even ask.
[Mana = 10]
"Why didn't you show it on my profile?" I asked.
[Do you want me to display mana points on main profile?]
"Yes". I reply.
"So what star mage am I right now?" I asked the system.
[Zero star mage]
"What? But you said I had mana".
[Yes but it's too low to be a one star mage]
"How much mana do I need to be a one star mage?"
[You need 300 mana points]
"That's a lot". I muttered. "How do I get more mana points?"
[You need to kill beast monsters, 1 beast monster =10 mana points]
"Wow". I said. "I still can't believe you didn't tell me all these earlier".
[Remember, this is the villainous system, I'm a villain]
"I realize now". I said.
[In the light of villains, your villain mission starts now]
"Villain mission". I muttered.
[From time to time I'll give you villain missions, you have to complete them or you die]
"What?!" I yelled. "That's not fair!"
[I know]
I huffed and sighed. "What's my mission?" I asked defeatedly.
[Your first mission is, get 200 lust points before today ends]
"What?!" I shout.
