My Hermes System

A Speedster in a Fantasy World More than a thousand years ago, portals opened up in the world. Swallowing up the world whole with the vile creatures that came out of it. The humans struggled for years as their weaponry could only get them as far as fending them off. But everything changed when the first super human was discovered, a child that was born after the portals have appeared. From then on, the humans have discovered that there were others, and they all held the same power... A power that was known as the System. And those who were born with it were called System Holders. The System Holders, with their mysterious powers, were the ones who helped recover the world from the monsters, once again reclaiming it. And now, a hundred years later, a System Holder was born, the Holder of the Hermes System, the Gatherer of Souls.

Chapter 78: Grunting Noises

Butler Albert had been serving the Gates family for decades now, he was there even before Victoria was even born.

He had a job way back as a member of the standby unit back when Charlotte Gates, Victoria's grandmother and the strongest Enhancer-type System Holder in the world was still active as an Explorer.

Since Charlotte was… an anomaly even among the System Holders, she was given her own personal standby unit that always waited for her outside a Portal. They were always following her wherever she went, and since Charlotte could move faster than their mounts, she made their lives a living hell.

But still, Albert followed her. He was just a normal human, not a System Holder, and yet he followed her everywhere. He admired her, but not in the way that he expected her to look at him as a man, no. Charlotte became like an older sister to him. An older sister that he needed to take care of, that is.
