5 Starting a new life!
Arthur POV
"Ahh..What a day" I said to myself as I viewed the surroundings I was in. I scanned the room for the documents the old man said I would have. 'Hmm, there should be some money laying about, my personal papers and my school documents so I am able to get to Kuoh' I summarised to myself.
The room I was in was decently large, it had a king sized bed with 2 small draws either side of it with one having a lamp on it. The walls were painted white and I had a grey carpet and in front of the bed there was a large rectangular black carpet. The room was about 25x25 so it was quite large for a bedroom. Attached the the bedroom there was a walk in closet as well as an on-suite, the closet was about 10x5 with a lot of clothes already in it and the on-suite was 10x10 with a shower, a bath big enough to fit at least 3 people and quite a large vanity mirror. 'Hm the house the old man got me must be bigger than the average house around here' I concluded.
I continued to search through the draws for roughly 5 minutes and I managed to find the school documents , along with my uniform as well as my personal documents. Now I just needed to find the money Rob told me about. As I was thinking a chime sound rung into my ears and I recognised the sound being a notification from my phone, I pulled out out my phone and saw that it was a message from the old man. '*raised eyebrow* I wonder what he wants' I pondered to myself with curiosity.
Rob- Hey kid, the money is in the form of a credit card and it's in the back of your phone. I put a decent amount in there as I didn't think money was incredibly important in this world anyway. Why grind for money when your going to be grinding something else right?
When I saw the final part of the message I received from the old man I laughed so hard I collapsed on the floor while holding my stomach 'isn't this guy meant to be infinite years old, the hell is up with his sense of of humour *laughter*. Well...I'm pretty sure it was a joke anyway.' After a while, I composed myself and replied back to him.
Arthur- Hehe, thanks old man, I'll be sure to use it wisely ;)
From your favorite Grandson Arthur
After that me and the old man finished messaging each other, but before hand we sent some quality messages. 'we just sent each other memes, the fuck was that' I sighed to myself. I decided to check my system to look at my status as well as my inventory to see if I am able to claim my very own starter pack! 'Please have some good shit if I have one! Let's get this journey started off right' I thought positively. I sat on the side of my bed and braced myself for what was to come!
"System call" I said in a low and deep voice, after a delay of about 1 second a white and blue system window appeared in front of my face , '*chuckle* this is so cool!'.

I then heard an English voice inside of my head. The voice sounded very posh. I managed to deduce that this was the system AI and it was set to English butler or something.
"Hello Master Arthur"
Yeah this is pretty cool, but I must implore one of the system commandments, though it saddens me to have to do it to my new friend. 'Thou shall not deserve to haveth a system, if thy systems voice is male.
"Hello, I assume you are the systems AI?" I replied back to what I assumed was the system. "Yes sir, I am the system AI. I have been assigned to assist you during your journeys!" I heard the system reply back to me.
"Okay, thank you very much! Not to offend you my friend, but is it possible to change the personality and such of the system, for example....hm, the gender?" I said, finishing the last words in a low voice. "Yes sir, I am capable of doing so, would you like to?"
"Yes please, would it be possible to change your personality to that of a loyal maid, almost like Narberal Gamma from Overlord or Grayfia from this world?" I asked with hope and curiosity. '*chuckle* I'm so ready for this'. I then heard the system answer my question "yes sir this is possible, shall I proceed to make the changes " I quickly replied "yes please". When I said these words, I screen popped up within my view.
[~System configuration changes in progress! Please wait.~]
After waiting around 30 seconds I heard a heavenly voice blessing my ears sounding exactly like Narberal from Overlord, "Good morning master".
I stood in shock without replying for a minute 'this is fucking crazy...Thank you so much old man. I'll pray to you every night!'. I then replied back "Hello! Do you have a name?" The system proceeded to tell me "No master, I do not, would you like to give me one?". After thinking for a second I decided "I shall. I will name you Narberal Gamma after your voices counterpart, that is assuming the anime does not exist in this universe?" Narberal replied quickly saying that it did not and she liked the name.
Narberal then continued to tell me something that shocked me "Master, I am able appear in physical form, I will have the same aura that you have depending on your power, however I will only able to fight at half your capability, is this acceptable to you master? And would you like my to appear to you at this moment?"
....
*brain.exe has stopped working*

After finally collecting myself and rubbing the drool from the corner of my mouth after having it open wide, I replied back to Narberal "YES PLEASE!...*clears throat* ah, yes Narberal, that would be perfect, go ahead". After saying this, a bright glow appeared ahead of me and what I saw ahead of me was "perfection" I said out-loud unknowingly. The women that appeared in front of me was an exact copy of Narberal.....but better! She had appeared in her battle maid armour. 'Anime simply doesn't do her justice!' I thought to myself "Thank you for the compliment master, I am glad you approve of how I look" though she had a calm tone, I could see the slight shade of pink that beautifully adorned her cheeks. "Your very welcome Narberal" I replied smoothly.
I sat down on my bed whilst Narberal stood next to my door, patiently awaiting an order from me. "Okay, let's have a look at my status then". I proceeded to mentally open my system and open my status.

"Hohh, so I'm a high human now then am I? Cool! The boost to my stats and exp will be really helpful now and in the future. The amount of mana I have could be a problem if I can't hide it. I don't want to reveal myself just yet, maybe drop a few hints, but not a full reveal. I want to get decently strong so I can show off a little to impress them '*chuckle* I don't care, I'll use underhanded tactics if necessary'. I told myself 'it seems I'll have to level myself up a bit to unlock the shadow monarch title.
"Hey Narberal, do you have any way to teach me how to feel the mana within my body and manipulate it?" I asked Narberal. I want to be able to sense the mana within me and maybe create some skills. Narberal looked me directly in the eyes and replied "yes master, I am able to teach you this". I could hear the pride in her voice whilst telling me this. She then carried on informing me how to do so. "Okay so the first thing you do is-"
TIMESKIP 10 minutes~
After following the instruction of Narberal I managed to be able to feel the mana core within me and have it flow throughout my different body parts. "Thank you for your wonderful help Narberal" I proceed to kiss her on the cheek. Narberal even while slightly flustered still replied "of course master, I'm always here to help".
'Wow.. shes wonderful! Smart and doesn't talk too much, I like it, my ideal woman!' I thought to myself, seriously considering dating my own system.
[skill obtained!

'Awesome, I'm getting there...slowly *chuckle* I'll be OP before you know it for sure!' I told myself with full confidence in my abilities.
I then remembered the fact that I might have a starter pack somewhere within my inventory. 'Hmm I should open it and see what I get! I have a luck of 4.. eh it's not too bad. Hopefully it can go up.' I then proceed to open up my system and look inside of the inventory.
[Inventory]
Starter pack!: A gift from the venerable Rob ;)
'Really old man *laughing*' I said to myself. "Right then, let's get this thing open".
'Open starter pack please Narberal'

I looked over what I got from the starter pack and my mouth gaped. 'And I thought my luck was 4, the fuck is this.' I thought to myself but quickly dismissed it 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth'.
'Hey Narberal, please use the book of mana for dumbos and pyromancy'

I cringed at the knowledge forcing itself into my head, but I knew that it would worth it when it came down to it. I looked at what the skills said and was quite impressed. 'These will come in handy clearing spout strays' I thought to myself.
'so my first day of school is tomorrow, Im quite looking forward to it. Just thinking about meeting sona, Rias and Akeno gets my blood pumping' I was thinking about all of the things that could happen to me tomorrow when suddenly I got a notification from the system
[New system function created {Quests}]
'Hmm okay, that will also help me to level up so that fine' I said to myself. Suddenly another notification came through.

"*laughter* Seems like things are getting interesting now Nabe, we're going to have things to do quite soon!" I looked over to Narberal standing next to the door "And I will be with you every step of the way master" Narberal quickly replied.
'Nabe equip the suppressant ring of mana for me please'. Suddenly I felt a foreign object appear on my finger, I look down and see the ring on my right hand index finger 'it's quite nice actually'. I then decide to look more around my house and use my skill observe on everything to level it and myself up. Narberal followed right behind me throughout the whole thing.
"Tomorrow will be fun" I said with a malicious smile on my face 'yes, fun indeed!'.
