The little kid spoke in a silky low voice, it was pleasing to the ears and completely matched his short and cute appearance.But wait...What did he just say? He wants to tie Jiro to a tree so that they can torture him. Jiro gulped down the saliva that was hardly there in his throat as he was already thirsty and had a dried dessert mouth and throat.Don't know why but this was giving him a bad feeling.He was just able to shake them off recently as everyone got busy with their conflicts, but this naughty child again dragged him inside ane made him the center of attraction in front of everyone.Everyone again fixed their attention on his as they stopped arguing about their current affair.Jiro could not say anything and smiled awkwardly at them, to at least show them he was not a bad guy.But who will believe him when he was in such a shabby and torn attired with so many scars over his body? Would they trust him if he was to say that he is no bad guy and nor the intruder but just a pa
It was hilarious that the system was threatening him in disguise warning him about the danger. Maybe, it does not have any ill intentions toward Jiro. But the way it speaks to him seems to have given him some bad ideas. Even though nothing bad has happened to him will date after coming to this world and the system was there to help him at every step. But for some reason, it feels like it was readying him for some big and unspoken event.The thing is....he can't touch it.[I am your system, how can you talk to me like that? Don't you have any consciousness? You should know that I am the medium between you and this world. Without me, you can do things, you will be just a piece of trash without me]Here it goes again. For a moment, Jiro thought he had made a comeback with his words and had cracked the system. But to his surprise, it wasn't the case. No matter what he says or does, this damn system seems to know everything about him.First of all, Jiro never begged or wished anyone that
The moment he got away from the villagers and was on his way to the outskirts, the robotic male voice of the system started ringing in his head. A quick notification then pooped out before him...[New Mission unlocked. Save the Demon queen...]Jiro's eyes widened in shock the moment system mentioned the Demon queen." Save the demon queen? You said she is pretty fine, just having a slight fever ".[You don't have time for all these questions, just hurry up to the location]The system firmly denied answering any of his questions and told him to hurry up to the location. Jiro was confused. Just an hour ago when he asked the system if her condition was serious or not, it firmly said everything was okay.Then what went wrong now? How come her health messed up so much?There were so many questions in his mind but the answer was none.He hurried up to the outskirts and then went inside the abandoned house. When he reached her, he couldn't believe his eyes.She had turned all pale and transp
[What happened? So you only know how to talk big huh...You still have a chance to stop at this. The punishment for failing the mission is not that cruel, you can stop here if you don't want to hurt yourself ] Jiro glared in the air with his sharp piercing intense gaze and looked at his hand once again." I have given my words already, I won't go back. It's just scratching my palm with a sharp object, nothing impossible ", Said Jiro as he closed his and slid the sharp stone on his palm.He winced a little bit as the stone touched his palm and made a little wound, blood started dripping out.Jiro opened his eyes and saw the blood oozing out, and immediately put his hand on top of her face, dripping exactly ten drops without any fail.He clenched his teeth on each other as it was painful. But the memories of Jiro getting beaten started playing in his mind, the pain of this wound was nothing in front of those wounds he sustained in the past.[Are you seriously mad or what? I told you tha
While they were busy having conversations with each other, the demon queen was regaining her consciousness. Her head was hurting quite a lot. The more she was waking, the more she could feel the pain sensation running through her veins and body. She felt like her body was on fire, it was burning heavily while she could do nothing and bear the pain."It's hot. Where am I right now? ", She questioned herself while trying her best to open her eyes. Her eyelids felt heavy as if someone had put stones on top, it was too painful.The was constantly telling her mind to respond and do as she says. And after procrastinating for a while, she finally ordered her body and mind to work on her order, and ahe forcefully opened her eyes.It was dark everywhere with the strange ceiling above her, where was she?She questioned herself many times and tried moving her body. To her surprise, she could not move at all, as if her body was frozen on the spot or she was paralyzed." Why can't I move? ", Ine
" Vinya! Understand it, we are no longer in our world. You can't kill people now ".Ines was doing her best to stop Vinya from doing anything that might turn the whole situation into a big mess.Even if she was trapped inside and Vinya had taken over her body, it was still her body. And she could see how scared Jiro was.Vinya kept approaching him, he stood there like a statue as well. His mind had become way too slow like a snail, couldn't process anything, nor could he sense the danger coming his way." Petal! Where are you? At least give me hints that you are here. I should have trusted you, it was my mistake, you betrayed me once again ".Jiro was not wrong to think that Petal betrayed him. And how can he not? The demon queen was approaching Jim with those bloodshot eyes as if she is off to kill someone. And what's worse....she was smiling entirely different from what he has seen Ines do.[Heavenly Father, this stupid is thinking I have betrayed him when it's literally who can't
When Ines heard his reasoning, she was convinced. After all, it was easy to manipulate her...according to Vinya." You see! He didn't betray me ", Said Ines." Don't trust him. You are too simple, Ines. Just one kind word from someone and you are ready to open your heart for them. It's not done like this...".Nonetheless, Vinya was trying hard to manipulate her against her wish. She can win, as long as Ines stays shut in her misunderstanding and sorrow, she doesn't need to come out. Just stay there and see how Vinya takes over the demon clan once again.But with Jiro being there, it was appearing impossible to happen. It's a fact that Jiro looks weak, maybe can't even kill an ant. But to Vinya, he was more than what he seemed to be. She had great eyesight and an ability to read people. And Jiro by no means was an as pitiful and weak person as he appears.But Ines was different as well. Yes, she does have a weak character and her personality is what others call nice. And because of th
" Find someone else? that won't do ", Vinya lifted his chin delicately with her finger as she smirked looking straight into his eyes.At this point, Jiro could see the fire in her eyes which was undoubtedly telling him she was poisonous to him." Big sister, I am telling the truth, I only have bones in my body. What will you get by eating me? Plus, you won't be cruel enough to hurt this little kid right? ".Jiro tried getting out of her grip, but the moment ge tried sneaking away, she pulled him back with her other hand as she held on to him tightly, squeezing his waist, it was painful for him as she was not soaring him.But everything he could do right now was to smile only as there was no other way he can see to free himself from her tight grip or make a comeback.This time, Vinya didn't say a word as her fingers were pricking into his waist skin, he was wincing in pain, and the smile on his face was fading.Vinya was having fun seeing him suffering with her hands, it was another ki
It has been more than two hours since Petal installed the EXP system Inside. Each step consists of ten steps. The more he walks, the more it will turn into energy and store it in him. But just like the Energy bar, it also has some limitations that might become disadvantages shortly. But for now, he was all settled.As they were walking futures and further, Jiro was feeling an immense kind of energy in his body, he was feeling light and more than sober. Every step he takes makes it more fun for him as if his body was set on cloud or his body was clout itself, he never felt so relaxed and comfortable before as he is feeling right now.Jiro didn't ask any questions to Petal, because he was already aware of the fact that all these changes may be because he was now using a different energy source, but who knows how long it will last? Maybe he was getting this refreshing feeling because he was aware of what he did to himself and was trying to feel it out."Congratulations, you have gained
It was clear that Ines was walking in the wrong direction, but she was in deep thought, still thinking about something that was not needed right now.And the direction they were going towards had a cliff, a slight fall, and one would go to heaven. Petal even warned him to take a turn but that did not happen, Jiro had to remind her to turn back and take that route from behind.Seeing that Ines was not reacting, Jiro tried asking. " Ines! Don't we have to take a turn from behind? We missed the chance ", Only by then did Ines come to reality and look behind."You are right. Let's go..."She walked back and then right from there. From here on, they have officially entered the forest area. Since the place, she is talking about is secluded and on the mountain guarded by wild animals and forest, it was now officially the start of the journey."What were you thinking?" Jiro asked."Just thinking about the future. As you know... it's been thousands of years since the last time I visited the pl
" I was afraid that any predator might eat it, so I took it with me. I hope you won't mind ", Said Jiro in a soft tone.Ines glanced at the unique egg in his hand, she thought for a moment and was still thinking about why this egg can make noises, but she had no answers for it." We can keep it. Back in my era, we had many powerful beasts which were priceless and had so many advantages to be taken. Even though I don't know how much the world has changed, we can keep it as a hope to get something out of it ".Ines was not against it, she even supports him if he wants to do or learn something, and she will help him with that.The world they are in right now, it's a fantasy world. A Universe filled with unknown and amazing things and creatures, the things which you cannot ever imagine can be possible when it comes to this world.People get Isekai'd and can achieve any feat if they are capable. So Jiro was full of expectation that this egg belongs to some unique creature he was unknown o
As they were returning to the living stay, Jiro asked about his energy bar which can only withstand some moves and slides. This morning, he was only able to run for two hours only, and then his body completely gave up on him the moment the energy bar hit the zero mark." Having an energy bar is quite risky, I can't even ensure how long I will be able to last long. It's as if...there's a sword hanging around my neck, one wrong move and I will die ", Jiro was concerned about this issue.With this ability, he was no more than a robot or maybe a key toy that only works when something spins the key in the main hole.[Umm! You are quite right. Having energy space is a little risky for you. You can indeed recover from the energy loss in an hour or so...but it's limiting your capabilities. Maybe...we should start the EXP system and remove the energy bar ]EXP was another option for a gamer to keep on going and this one was less risky than the energy system. Maybe this was fitter for Jiro comp
" I don't know how to coax someone. I might even end up making them more miserable and sad ", Said Jiro while looking at the neon light blue color shining egg. The egg was really interesting but the way it was making noise was quite unpredictable." But it's really weird. Why is it crying? It's crying...does it mean that there's life inside it? ".[ I think life has been formed inside the egg. And...Have you ever held a child in your arm? If you have, then you know how to talk to it...just use that method]Thinking back...the life inside the egg and a child both have no difference, both are little kids who don't know how to express their feelings other than crying and attracting attention.So the only way to stop it from crying was to talk to it in a soft tone and try to coax it, maybe a gentle touch will be sufficient to stop its sobbing.Jiro blinked several times, after hearing Petal now he was thinking about how to coax a child or how ones say good things in front of the kid. How
There was nothing particularly special in sight, except....that nest on the side. Nothing caught his eyes but the nest did." Petal! What's that? A bird nest? ", Jiro started growing close to the nest which was on the corner.The cave was all bright and had reached a dead end, yet there was a bird's nest on the side. Jiro did not think of anything and approached the nest at a slow pace.As he grew close to the nest, the weeping and crying became clear, as if it was coming from that spot.The nest was pretty small, just a little bigger than the average, with an Egg inside it. The nest was wielded perfectly around the edge so that the egg wouldn't roll out in any kind of situation.It was just the only thing in the cave which was enough to attract anyone's attention.Jiro stopped in front of the nest and looked at the egg in it, he tapped the edge of his chin while tilting his head from left to right in slow motion. In a situation like this, he doesn't know what to do." Petal! Believe
It was really strange that there was no life force inside yet Jiro was receiving signals from there. Like...isn't the crying sound enough to let you know there is someone inside? " So you are saying that there's no life force here...hmm! But then again, what are these noises that I am hearing right now? I mean...explain to me ", At this Jiro knows nothing.He just wants to know what he was hearing right now if there's nothing here. It's a baby's voice and it's crying very loudly, his eardrums have gone deaf from all the crying sounds, and the system is saying there's no one. That's crazy.[ I hear nothing ]" Huh? Do you hear nothing? For real...Just get inside my mind and you will understand what I am talking about. There's a baby somewhere around here. I am telling you, I am not lying ", Said Jiro while trying to convince him that he is not lying...not even a little bit.[Well! I won't go to such lengths. Since you are saying you are hearing strange sounds, let's go check it out. I
He was sleeping soundly until a sound reached his ears. He was awake by the sudden weeping sound. He slowly opened his eyes, it was dark in the surrounding without any light or hope. " Wah...wah..."Someone was crying, he could hear the crying noise, but who?He was still half asleep and once again looked at the surrounding, but he could see nothing other than darkness. At this point, he deemed it as his imagination and once again went to sleep.But just when he closed his eyes, the noise started ringing in his ears once again." Wah...".This time the noise was too loud that he could not hear anything else other than the weeping sound. He placed his both hands around his ears and covered them, he was sleepy, and do not want to hear anything or see anything, just want to have a proper rest.The noise disappeared. Just when he thought he had peace and closed his eyes...the weeping sounds started ringing in his head, and thus time was in continuous mode.Jiro got up and sat straight a
They both messed up the balance and fell on each other.Jiro was very light, yet she was complaining that he was heavy. " Little Boy! Can you get up? You are too heavy for me ", She was not serious, just joking with him.He hmph a little and then slid off of her body and sat down by the side. He was not looking at her, but rather staring at the sky. Ines saw his little pouty lips, what to do with this guy when he was being this cute? She just extended her hand towards his face and started squeezing his bony cheeks. " Alright boy, stop making that deadly expression. I know I was a little exaggerating but I was just teasing you, how can you not tell when facing your little body which has no flesh? Please don't be mad at me ", She said in a coaxing tone. He held her hand and slid them off of his face. " I am not mad, I just wanted to make you apologize and I succeeded in that. Let's gather some fuel for the fire ", He started laughing suddenly after hearing her apology.Ines chuckled
