In the early morning, the sky was already slightly bright, but the lights in a small apartment in the magic capital had not been turned off.

The owner of this room hit enter on the keyboard and sent the freshly finished design to the boss's mailbox.

As if liberated, he stretched hard, turned around and planned to lie down on the bed and sleep.

I haven't slept well for three days, so even if there are revisions, I'll wait until tomorrow.

"Wow~"

The voice of the new message sounded, and a small red dot lit up on the boss's profile picture.

The man sighed helplessly, turned back to his chair, and clicked on the message.

Boss: "It's about to be the Chinese New Year, so from today onwards, I'll make 100 holiday posters about Laba every day for us to choose from." ”

Oh, it turned out to be a new mission.

The man patted his chest, glad it wasn't new.

Wait, a hundred pictures?

You can't do it 24 hours without sleeping, can you?

Countless words of greeting flashed in his heart, and three question marks were placed on the input box.

"Wow~"

Before he could send it, the boss sent another message.

Boss: "And fifty good night poster pictures, every day." ”

“......”

After the man saw this news, the anger in his heart soared, and he suddenly felt a dullness in his chest, and he fell directly to the ground......

The headline of the next day's magic capital, "Young designers stay up late for three days in a row and die suddenly, experts remind everyone that staying up late is harmful to health." ”

......

"I'm probably the worst time-traveler in history, and the gift of a fourteen-year-old adult is to cut myself with a knife. ”

Alan pulled a scalpel-sized knife from the drawer of his desk, gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and prepared to make a small cut in his wrist.

He didn't want to kill himself, but he wanted to assemble a rune for himself.

As a time-traveler, Allendo hopes that his golden finger is a system, so that he should already be the famous overlord of the Federon continent when he is fourteen years old.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a system, only a temple hidden in the soul, and on the altar in the center of the temple, there is a sealed rune book, and Allen has spent more than ten years on this rune book.

Runes, a magical creation made with magical materials as dyes, can increase abilities when attached to the body, and high-level runes can even activate special skills.

In this rune treasure book, there are all kinds of rune patterns, and Alan relied on the foundation of some drawings in his previous life, plus nearly ten years of hard work, and finally had the most basic rune drawing ability.

In the following year, Alan wasted more than a dozen sets of low-level magic materials that he had worked so hard to collect, and after unremitting efforts, he succeeded in making runes, which he planned to give as gifts to himself on his birthday.

There are generally two types of rune assembly, one is to implant the drawn runes directly into one's own flesh and blood, and the other is to draw them directly on the body like a tattoo.

Drawing directly on the body is extremely difficult and must be done in one go, without any mistakes in between.

In view of his current proficiency, Alan naturally chose a more secure way, even if it hurt a little.

It is precisely because of this that he has such self-harming behavior.

"Noble lords of the Federon Continent, your master is about to reign over the world!"

Although he thought it was a bit silly to say this, Alan tried so hard to fantasize about himself dominating the whole world, so as to anesthetize himself in order to alleviate the pain.

Will this overlord concentrate on loving the queen in the future, or will he favor the princess alone?

"Knock knock. ”

There was a knock on the door, interrupting Allen's imagination and causing him to stop self-harm and hide everything on the table.

"Young Master, can I come in?"

A gentle and pleasant female voice sounded outside the door, and there was a little mystery in her tone.

"Ah, come in. ”

This familiar female voice Alan naturally knew that it was Linda, a maid who grew up with him, so after everything was hidden, he answered and let her in.

With permission, a handsome girl in a beige maid's dress and brown hair pushed open the door with a smile on her face, holding a plate in her hand, and walked up to Alan with cheerful and light steps.

"Happy coming-of-age, dear, dear Master Allen~" Linda's voice was soft, slightly stammering.

It's not that Alan is scary, but she was originally an introverted girl who likes to be shy, and she will only be a little lively in front of acquaintances, and today is Ellen's coming-of-age day, and she took the initiative to send blessings with the encouragement of Aunt Susan in the kitchen.

However, she was still a little nervous in her heart, and looked at Allen's face with blinking her turquoise eyes, and her smart eyelashes suddenly swayed, making her originally pretty face a little more playful.

To have such a beautiful girl on the edge of the empire has to be said to be the favor of Lady Luck.

It is precisely because of this that Ellen's father arranged Linda as his personal maid, and his intentions are obvious.

Linda put the plate in her hand on Alan's table, lifted the lid on the plate as if offering a treasure, and then continued to stare at Eren with some expectation.

Inside the plate is a white loaf of bread with a flattened top, while the bread is coated with a layer of red jam and yellow cheese.

"...... this?"

"I always hear that the young master you want a birthday cake, I fantasize that you made one of the things you described to me before, you can see if this is the case. ”

Alan looked at the so-called cake on the plate in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this cake was really a bit miserable.

However, he did not complain, but his heart was full of gratitude, which was Linda's heart after all.

"Thank you, Linda, it's great to have a cake today. ”

"You're welcome, Lord Baron can't accompany you on the expedition for your birthday, then I'll be responsible for making the young master happy!"

Linda smiled slightly, although her voice was still very soft, but her attitude was very firm.

Allen's father was Horn Merlin, a hereditary baron with a domain.

It is precisely because the territory is the baron's own that once there is a bandit, then it is natural for the baron to clean it up himself.

Alan is a sensible child, so even though today is his adult day, he is very supportive of his father's decision to exterminate the bandits.

"When I come back, I'll make you a gift for the Jungle Black Wolf, that guy is full of good stuff!" Horn patted Alan on the shoulder before leaving, and promised boldly.

It's no secret that Eren is collecting magic materials, as a father he is very supportive of his son's noble hobby, and plans to send Eren to the city at the beginning of the next spring to see if he can become a mage.

"Young Master?"

Linda gently shook her hand in front of Alan's eyes, waking him up from the memory.

"Are you worried about the Baron, don't worry, Aunt Susan said it was just a bunch of farmers wandering around the territory. ”

Alan nodded, Baron Horn is a swordsman with fourth-level strength, although he can't be on the table in the aristocratic circle, but for a group of farmers who can't even match their swords, it is already an invincible existence.

Besides, my father is accompanied by Uncle Locke, the knight of the family, which is even more foolproof.

"Well, while it's okay now, Linda, you can take off your clothes first. ”

"Huh?"

Allen's sudden and complete change of topic made Linda stunned, and she instantly became a little overwhelmed.

She suddenly thought of some of the customs of the aristocratic coming-of-age that Aunt Susan had talked about, and her round face instantly flushed.

"Young Master, I'm ......"

"Didn't you just say that being responsible made me happy?

"Then, young master, I'll trouble you to be gentle in a while~"

"Hmm...... Huh?"
