I was standing next to the bed, seeing the System Screen. Scarlet had left the room to inform the Queen from this, from what I understand.
"Hm..." I said, "So we're right to it, huh? This System has given me tasks right away. Interesting."
From what I understand about Systems, reading all of those novels and manga, I need to complete tasks in order to receive rewards. My guess is that awakening the System itself was a task, which gifted me this Six-Shooter.
I looked at the revolver, which was heavier than the revolvers from my world. It was much rger as well but was able to fit in my hand. It did look like a hand cannon, with six powerful shots.
I lifted it up, opening the chamber and seeing that there was no bullets in them, "Hm....." I said, spinning the chamber, "To get bullets, that needs to be the first thing I do."
I stopped spinning the chamber and closed it, trying to spin the revolver on my finger as I was used to. The weight was definitely throwing the spin off, causing me to nearly drop it.
"Whoa..." I said, holding it in my hand, "Hm..."
I aimed the gun at the far end of the room, trying to test out the sights. I then pulled it back and brought it down to the hip, aiming it forward. I pulled the trigger, hearing multiple clicks.
"Seems to be double action." I said, "Not a single action."
Judging from the timing of the hammer cocking, the fire rate of this would be a bit slow. I can only imagine how heavy the recoil would be, seeing the size of this monster. It was grey in color, with a bit of weathering on it. The handle was brown and wooden, a bit of scratches on it.
My guess is that for a System weapon, it was quite basic. However, just because it was a basic grey weapon, it didn't mean it wouldn't do get the job done.
But it didn't matter now, it had no bullets. Right now, it was a basic husk.
I brought it up to my ear, slowly moving the chamber, hearing the sound it made. It didn't seem to have any issues, so I don't think it would jam.
As I did this, I heard the door opening and I saw the Orc walking in.
"Samuel Grey." He said seriously, his eyes staring right at me, "So you've awakened your System."
Behind him, Scarlet was standing with her hands in front of her, looking down with humility.
I spun the revolver again, trying to get used to the weight, "Mhm." I said, aiming at the side and pulling the trigger, hearing another click, "So it seems."
Rok'gul narrowed his eyes, "Hm....." He looked at Scarlet, "Well done. It appears that he has a firearm based System. That type of weapon is rare on this side of the Blood Star Realm."
Scarlet looked at me, "Samuel Grey, you seem adept at holding that weapon." She said, "You mentioned you were an actor, a performer."
I lowered the gun, "The roles I pyed were Gunslinger roles." I said, "In order to py them to perfection, I had to know what I was doing. While the guns were mere props, it is all about the mannerism and technique. I trained myself in the art of gunslinging and sharpshooting. I know what I am about. I spent countless days and nights in my childhood, training my aim."
Rok'gul looked at me, "You were a performer?" He asked, "Like those pys from the Duskfield District?"
"Something like that." I said, "But I know how to wield a gun."
Seven Grand Fast-Drawing Championships, Two Global Longshot Competitions pcements, and even a Gold Medal in the Olympic Sharpshooting contests. I took my roles very seriously, perfecting the art of gunslinging and sharpshooting to the point where I was banned from carrying almost anywhere due to a certain incident a few years ago.
I was an actor, but I knew what I was about.
Rok'gul stepped up to me, "What else does the System require you to do?" He asked, "Her Majesty has instructed us to assist you in your initial Tasks. We are aware that some Systems require a bit more tasks at the start to fully kit the user out. Speak."
I looked at him, "One more Demonic Maid." I said, "I need to sleep with a maid and explore the castle."
I don't know if I should tell them everything. From what Scarlet told me, I am the only one who can summon the System, and considering that it disappeared a bit after they walked into the room without acknowledging it, then that is in fact, true.
Now, the only thing I don't know about is the Queen. Something tells me she would be able to see it and read its contents. As long as I can give them a bit of information, I might be able to have them help me out.
The moment I get an opportunity, I should leave. But first, I need to complete these two tasks and get more rewards.
This is it. This is real, not a dream. I have a power that none of these people have, so I have to take advantage of it.
"More Demonic Maids, hm?" Rok'gul asked, "Well, Scarlet was one. We can send more to you so you can get it done. As for exploring the Castle, what are the specifics of that? There are locations in the Castle nobody is allowed to delve into."
I shrugged, "I don't know." I said, "How about we walk around and see? Maybe scouring a certain amount of the castle will proc the task completion."
Rok'gul and Scarlet looked at each other, as if silently telling each other something.
"Very well." He said, "We can explore a bit of the castle. Afterwards, you will be granted an audience with Queen Asothia. Her Majesty will want to give you the details of your role in this world."
"Mhm." I said, "That's fine by me."
Scarlet stepped to the side, "Come with me." She said, a neutral expression, "We will accompany you."
"Let us complete your tasks."
