Chapter 5 : Next Turn

Armand immediately grabbed Timothee's arm so that he could get back on his feet.  “Young Master, we better stop today's training.  I'm sorry, I made you tired," said Armand feeling guilty for punishing Timothee for running around their backyard.

"It seems that you are right, I think my body can still bear it."  Timothee didn't think that his body would directly drop like now, he thought he could still do some training with Armand.

After all, it was already late in the afternoon, it would be best if Timothee finished his daily quest in his room.

“Can you help me get back to my room?” ask Timothee in a low voice.

Without another word, Armand soon helped to support Timothee to escort his young master to his room.

With slow steps, the two of them returned to the house, in the living room Violette who saw them also came to see Timothee.

“What happened to you, Young Master?”  Violette asked worriedly seeing Timothee being carried by Armand.

“Just tired, no need to worry," replied Timothee forcing a smile so the other assistants wouldn't be too worried about his condition.

“Oh my god, young master.  You know you can't be too tired, it will be very dangerous for your body."  Violette, who didn't seem to care about her surroundings, began to chatter away, advising Timothee.

Timothee couldn't help but grimace when he heard the series of nagging Violette gave him, he didn't expect that Timothee's assistant would really care about this young man.

"I'm sorry I made you worry, Vio.  But, I have to rest,” said Timothee cutting Violette off.

"You can talk later, I have to make sure Young Master rest for now," continued Armand who could feel Timothee's body starting to weaken.

“Sorry for stopping you, Young Master.”  Violette who knew her mistake directly bowed her body.

Quickly, Armand soon carried Timothee up the stairs to reach his room.

Armand helped Timothee to lie down on his bed, "Young Master, you have to rest, I will ask Violette to make you some medicinal herbs to recover your body," said Armand before leaving Timothee's room.

Timothee didn't really listen to what Armand has said, he was too tired and preferred to close his eyes for a moment.

His head really seemed to be spinning, his body didn't stop sweating, Timothee could feel his body was very vulnerable and when he was a little tired his body would immediately react like now.

“System, how am I doing now?"  Timothee decided to ask System 666 about the state of his body.

[Host's body is currently under the influence of the existing curse]

Timothee had already guessed what this System was talking about, it must be because of this damn curse his body became so weak as it is now.

“Then, what should I do now?”  asked Timothy again.

[System advises Host to complete daily quests before the day changes]

Look at this selfless System, when Timothee is dying like now the system still tells him to complete the daily tasks it is given.

Ding!

[-1 System Favor Point]

Timothee felt that he could spit up blood at this point because of the system's ignorant behavior. Timothee chose to no longer curse this bastard system and focused himself on regaining some of his strength to complete his daily quests.

After a while, Timothee could feel his body was not as painful as before, he decided to get up from his bed and get ready to complete the daily quest from the System.

Still shaking, Timothee sat himself down on the carpeted floor and warmed up a bit before doing the rest of his daily quests.

“Status!"  Timothee muttered calling out his status window.

While doing basic training to make his body stronger, Timothee looked at his status window to know when he had finished his quest.

One by one, Timothee did push ups until he finally finished the quest, leaving only one last task he had to complete.

After spending quite a bit of time, Timothee finally managed to complete his first daily quest with many difficulties getting in his way.

With gasping breaths and sweat dripping all over his body, Timothee lay down on the carpeted floor while looking at his status window which showed all his quests had been completed.

[Daily Quests :

- 100x Push ups (100/100) (Completed)

- 100x Sit-ups (100/100) (Completed)

- 30 minutes of meditation (60/30) (Completed)

- Run 5km (5/5) (Completed) ]

"Finally, I can finish this damn task," said Timothee smiling as he closed his eyes with one hand.

His current body was completely incomprehensible to Timothee, his breath was starting to catch on with the non-stop sweat dripping from his skin.  Timothee felt that right now he was really dying.

Ding!

[Daily quest has been completed, reward has been delivered to Host's inbox]

Timothee wanted to insult the System again but he no longer had the strength, until he heard a knock from outside his room door.

After that, Timothee could tell that Violet had come to bring him a medicinal herb for his body.

“Shit!  Young master!"  Violette shouted in surprise when she saw Timothee lying helplessly on the floor.

"Armand!  Come here quickly."  Violette put down her medicine bowl and rushed to check on Timothee's condition.

Not long after that, Armand with quick steps entered Timothee's room and saw his young master lying on the floor.

“Help me," Violette said.

Armand swiftly carried Timothee's body onto his bed and rested his Young Master comfortably there.

“Why are you lying down there, Young Master?"  Violette asked really worried about Timothee's condition.

[Host must not tell others about the System and the quests that the System has given]

Hearing that the System warned him not to tell anyone about his whereabouts, Timothee had to come up with a lie to cover it up.

“I was bored of resting on the bed, so I decided to walk a bit.  However, unfortunately my body isn't powerful enough and I fell down, then I couldn't get up anymore,” explained Timothee smoothly telling his lie.

It was heard that Violette and Armand both sighed loudly when they heard Timothee's explanation.

“Young Master must remember that your body must not be exhausted, rest and don't play around anymore.”  Armand seriously advised Timothee who he thought was playing with his life.

“Okay, I'm sorry," replied Timothee nodding and immediately apologized to his assistants.

“I have already prepared some medicinal herbs for you, Young Master.  It's better to drink it now and go to sleep so that tomorrow your body will be healthy again,” Violette said from beside Timothee's bed while holding a bowl.

“Medicinal potions?”  asked Timothy, confused.

“Must drink!”  Violette with her sharp eyes glared at Timothee to drink the potion he had made.

Frightened by Violette's tantrum as well as her lengthy babbling, if he didn't want to drink this potion, Timothee was forced to drink the potion as soon as possible.

Timothee's expression immediately changed after drinking the potion Violette had given him.

“Why is this potion so bitter!”  said Timothee while frowning at the bitterness he felt.

Violette smiled happily seeing Timothee's reaction as she drank the potion, “Which potion tastes sweet, Young Master,” Violette replied with a small chuckle.

“Go to sleep, Young Master.  The potion can help you sleep soundly,” Violette continued to tell Timothee.

“Hmm… The sleepiness has come,” Timothee nodded slowly while blinking his eyes.

It didn't take long before Timothee fell asleep.  Violette immediately pulled the blanket to cover her young master's body.

"What exactly were you two doing this afternoon?"  Violettetightenedd her sharp gaze on Armand who was behind her.
