2023-01-04 01:13:32With this, Jiro realised that they were seeing two different horizons and worlds as if they were in the same spot but their vision was different.
"Big brother, Can you...can you see this dead body floating in this muddy water? It's here, just before my eyes on the 90-degree angle", Jiro pointed his hand towards his dead body which was visible to him.Piano's pupil dialect where Jiro's hand was navigating, but Piano gave out no reaction as there was nothing on the floor. What's worse, to him, Jiro was standing where the snake had made his nest."Kiddo! You are stepping on the snake's nest, come here".Just when Piano said it, he recalled that he just got Jiro out of that next a moment ago. Things are becoming clear now."Kiddo! What more do you see? What are your surroundings?", He asked Jiro in a serious tone."It's wet and muddy on the ground, more like we are standing in the muddy water but is not sinking. It's a forest around us with the trees having unique red and yellow color leaves, it has just rained in this area".It was the moment when their worlds clashed."Thus makes sense now. We are getting affected by the magic that's cast in this dungeon, no wonder it's called an illusionary Dungeon", Piano admitted that they were trapped in this place."What to do next? How are we going to leave?", Jiro is getting anxious now."Don't panic and eat something to regain your strength for now. There must be a way to leave this way", Said Piano as he once again lifted Jiro from the ground and put him to his side.Piano could see that this kid was hungry and had nothing to eat for the last three days. He was even wondering how this kid survived for so long in such a wilderness.Since Piano was chasing after that secret messenger, he was carrying the necessary stuff on him. He had enough food to last him for the next week. He brought out the food from his black leather bag.He bent down before Jiro and gave him the food with a bright and heartfelt smile on his face.Seeing him acting so warm to Jiro, Jiro felt like he was betraying this big guy and cheating him...and that he was even robbing him of his food."Thank you".It felt wrong to lie to Piano. But...It's nothing.After all, once they escape from this risky place, they will go their separate ways. And will never see each other's faces for a whole lifetime.If that is the case, there is nothing to feel guilty about lying to him.We met thousands of people in our lifetime, and it's not necessary, to be honest with every person. It's okay to lie, it's human nature.As long as that person is not hurt by that lie, it's okay, it's not serious.When Piano passed him some food, Jiro was beyond shocked. It was flat-dried bread, and when he ate it, it tasted the same as how it used to be in his original world."Looks like this world is not so much different from the original world. But again, what is this place? And why am I brought here?".He thought to himself and finished the food. Now that he has eaten something and his stomach was full, he was feeling much better.When Jiro was eating that dried flatbread, he was disgusted when those old memories were surfing through his mind.The memories of how Jiro survived in that dangerous place for the last three days were surfing in his mind on and off.Jiro was never given sufficient food, his stomach was never properly full, and he would always be given a small portion as his meal or dinner.So every day after his meal or dinner, when he would go extra hungry, he used to eat the earthly worms.The crunch while eating those filthy worms, and the dirt on his mouth were still fresh to him, he felt both pity and sad when remembering all that.Beep...The sound sounded in the background and soon that voice appeared.(The host has unlocked a new feature. You can now see the affection points)Jiro Froze was on the spot for some time before he recovered from that state and saw some words floating on Piano's head.Not just words but there were some numbers too, more like percentages."Affection...50 percent".Jiro was confused for a moment but then he remembered that one video game where the main character needed to win the affection of other mail leads.And right now...it was the same."Hey! Who are you? Do you have a name or you are just a voice? Answer me please", Jiro thought in his mind.[Finally! The master has gained some consciousness. You have asked the right question. I am not called Voice. I am the greatest system in this world. And your companion for a better life. Heaven felt pity and sympathy for you for dying so unfairly. Thus, you are given a second chance at life. You are grateful, right?]"So you are that so-called legendary system huh", Jiro was not shocked at all after hearing what that system said.[Yeah! I am that legendary system]This system was quite bashful. It was flexing how legendary it was and how lucky he was to get this system."Stop flexing yourself. Since you are my system and you have given me a second chance, why don't you just pull me back to my original world?", Jiro thought in his mind.[Hehe! That...I don't know how to, I don't have such a feature to send you back into your original world. You are now sent to this world, which means you have to live your life here. And if you don't want to lose this precious last chance at life, you have to listen to me]As expected, it was only flexing. In reality, it has no such features to help him."What a useless system. Anyway! Since you can't help me to return to my original world, at least tell me how should I escape from this dungeon?", Jiro was desperate to know the way now.Since it was his second chance at life, he can't waste it. Even though he was still in denial that he was dead and can't return to his original world, he was trying hard to adapt.And the first step toward that was to leave this place somehow.He has never played a virtual game where he was thrown into a situation to play and slay the creatures in a fake world and win rewards.So he has no experience. All he can do now is rely on the knowledge he had gained from reading books and online novels.[Stop blaming me and listen to me carefully. The way to escape this illusionary dungeon lies in your head. This place has magic installed everywhere, it's playing with your mind. If you want to get out, find a way yourself]Well! It's a magical place, all types of creature resides in this world. And dungeons are a normal part of this world.If Jiro wants to defeat this magic, he needs to think hard and find a way by himself."Can you be a little normal? You are my system, you just admitted it. And so you have to help me. At least give me some clues...".[You are seriously an idiot, I just gave you a clue. It's on you now about how to escape this place, I won't help. You are weak and so I am. Increase your strength and you will get full support from me]The system just gave out a clue a moment ago when it was speaking some nonsense to him. It's now his problem if he doesn't get it.The affection points and affection percentage were still visible on Piano's head."Looks like I have gained a system. But what's the use of it when I have to work hard in the end? Isn't the system supposed to help its sole owner? Why am I so unlucky then?", Jiro thought.He was in the middle of immense thinking when suddenly the land beneath his feat started disappearing.No...When he looked at the land beneath him, he saw that his connection with the earth was breaking.It was not that the land beneath him was disappearing or churning into a hole. But it was he who was floating in the air.Yes, he was flying...And when He lifted his head and turned around, he saw Piano holding him in his large hands and walking ahead, Jiro was getting carried by him."Big brother! Can you put me down? I can walk on my own"."Shush! We have to leave now. You see that thin shield over there? It's breaking. If we stay here at the same place, there are high chances that we will be buried under it".

The time was running out. They were trapped in an illusionary world. And no one knew the way to crack that illusion.Piano wrapped his hands around the small body of Jiro and placed him very close to his chest. Even though Jiro was an adult, his body was that of a child who was merely nine or ten years old.So when Piano cuddled him and glued him to his chest, like a kid, Jiro was nonexistent to the outsiders and the whole world as he was mixed to Piano's body and flesh, as if they were one and not two.Roug was originally twenty-seven and was now in an adult's body which was no more than any child. It's been more than twenty years since someone carried him like this into their arms.He still remembers how his mom used to arrive early and wait outside of the junior school when he was a kid.

In desperation, Jiro jumped in.His heartbeat was literally screaming out in fear at the moment, he dared not to see any death just after coming into his world, if that is to happen, it would be cruel...very cruel.Just as he was about to jump inside the fight, he froze on the spot. Fortunately, that wasn't his blood. Jiro was nearly shocked to death when he felt his soul flying right away from his body. The blood wasn't Piano's, it was actually from those wolves. When those wolves targeted him and attacked him, they nearly surrounded him leaving him no space to move or save his own life.However, Piano had experienced such situations in his life before.

He slashed their heads off like a predator who was mainly here to take their lives and heads especially. He ruthlessly exploited all of the wolves and took the

The laughter escaped Piano's mouth as if Jiro made a joke. "Why are you laughing?", Jiro asked.And right now, Jiro was confused. Because the affection bar has reached the bar of 75 percent. It was a scary thing to Jiro to see that affection bar rising so suddenly."Did I joke about something?", He asked in confusion as Piano couldn't stop laughing."No! You did not. I am just surprised. It's the first time a kid isn't scared of me and is asking me if I have kids of my own", Piano was feeling lighthearted now.It was the first time someone had felt that he can have kids around him like a normal person.Kids get easily scared of him since he is someone who wields swords and kills others. So when that scary side of him shows up to them, they can't help but maintain a safe distance from him. Right now he was glad that a kid was acting normal around him and not scared of him at all, it was a good experience for him.Jiro tilted his head in confusion as he even tried to rack his brain to

Is it said that this place was the hotspot of demons who were doing evil in the world, they are caged here by that Mage thousand years ago.After he caged those demons, he sealed this place with highly proficient magic, it was...Illusion.From the outside, this place was nothing like a dungeon, with no darkness, no caves, no holes, and no monsters. But this place on its own was more dangerous than anything that was mentioned above.A place that looked no more than any normal forest from the outside, like a perfect place or a shelter for animals. But once you enter inside, you will see the illusion. As Piano was telling him about this place, Jiro was getting chills. His body was reacting to something strange, the hairs on his body were standing as if a ghost was watching him from around somewhere. "My dear! You look appetizing, I wanna have a taste of you", Something whispered.Jiro's ears stood straight in warning, he looked around like a scaredy cat. "What was that noise? Who spok

Piano extended his hand in front of him, expecting Jiro to hold his hand and say yes to him. Even though Jiro had a sweet smile on his face, for some reason Piano could see that he was not smiling because he was willing to, more like he was forced to.Just as he expected, Jiro pulled out his hand and placed it amongst the large palm of Piano which was standing out the most and the only one right now.He didn't hesitate, his agreement was enough for Piano. And the next moment, Piano lifted him in the air and then placed him gently on his shoulders. Right now, Jiro was viewing the higher view from that height while sitting on his shoulder. This sure was enough to make him recall those heartwarming moments during his childhood.His dad used to play with him in the evening and then on the way back he used to put Roug on his shoulder and carry him home like that.As much as it was heartwarming and made him recall all those old forgotten memories. He sure was disturbed by something else.T
My Shameless System Made Me A Goblin Chapter 10: Exit from the Illusion
She couldn't believe this little monster kid had a way to set themselves free from this illusionary dungeon. "Impossible! Monster Kiddo! Don't get ahead of yourself just because you have a brain installed in your head".She was pissed at him for the thought of even thinking about leaving this place when she was all tied up there. It was unfair.Of course, Jiro could hear all the anger and frustration in her voice. She was extremely curious yet furious at Jiro for saying he has a way out.Jiro took one pair of earbuds from Piano. "Big brother! Since this is illusionary Dungeons, it means everything here counts as a mirage or our imagination which is hidden in our subconscious mind", He said as he started putting earbuds in his ears.He gently put one after another in both ears with great care. And then covered his ears with another pair of earbuds too.As they both covered their ears, the extra sound and noises in the background became non-existent to them.Piano still didn't was conf

Looks like he had no other choice other than this. To become stronger, he needs to accept the mission and grow his power. [Accept...Reject]Jiro closed his eyes and pressed the Accept button. His fingers were shaking when he touched the option as if he was dealing with the matter of his life then and there.Of course, he was afraid of being fried or charcoal by the thunderbolt, but that was if he failed to complete the mission. He has two hours in his hand. Since the Illusionary Spell was cracked, the exit was soon to be found.He believed he can find the entrance. [Congratulations on accepting the mission. The countdown starts...you have 1 hour 59 minutes left until the time ends, Good luck on your second mission.

Piano stopped amidst everything, he couldn't believe what he was seeing right now."Why did you stop?", Jiro asked as he suddenly pulled his head down and looked at Piano."Do you remember I told you I was chasing after a secret messenger", Piano said in a calm tone, such a situation was in front of him, yet he did not panic or feel any sympathy towards that person.Jiro nodded his head. "What about that?"."I didn't expect it but he is dead. He fell into the illusion and apparently took his own life in that illusion. Look..."He raised his hands and pointed out towards a tree that was twenty steps away from them.Jiro's eyes followed the instructions and stopped at a certain sight. There was a human figure under the tree, wearing black clothes which had everything hidden under it, only his face was viable. The body had started cremation. Even though they were twenty steps away, the flesh rotting smell could be sensed. The rotting smell had spread in the air and was timeline into the

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
Chapter 69: Can you take care of it?
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
Chapter 67: Exp system
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
Chapter 65: What a strange egg
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
Chapter 64: loud cry of the unknown
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
