“Blondie! Rufus, stop!”
“No, Rufus! The village is still in chaos!”
I could hear Guinevere and Pierce yelling from the side.
Then I could hear clothes shuffling and Rufus said. “Let go of me! He needs to be taught a lesson!!”
When I looked, Pierce was holding Rufus from behind. The four-eyed didn’t say anything, but it looked like he was trying his best to stop his leader from finishing me. His face was starting to get pinkish.
I’m a bit surprised to see that Pierce got balls to stop that blue maniac. But I used this chance to get up.
“I swear! I did not do it! I was looking for a Bearon like you told me to! I don’t know anything about the broken fences or monsters!” I said. I tried to make it believable.
Rufus stopped resisting and glared his eyes at me. “Broken fences? So you knew the fences w
As we waited for backup to come, I split up with them and went to the chief’s house. But, I only found his frightened wife there who told me that he went to the restaurant. After I told her to stay put inside the house, I went to the restaurant.Sure enough, I found him there along with some scared and injured villagers.“Cadet!” The chief immediately came to me. “How’s the village’s condition? Do you know why is this happening?”“First things first, chief, is everyone here? I made sure nobody’s outside, but I haven’t really checked door to door. And your wife is by the house. I made sure she’s safe.” I told him.He nodded frivolously. “Ah yes, yes, thank you! Yes, everyone had gathered here after the monsters came. Your friend the blue haired guy protected me while I checked.”Huh. I didn’t think that guy would be quite nice to do that. But it’s part of being a cadet, so it’s not worth my compliment.I nodded at his report and went to check on the injured villagers. I knew I couldn’t
I cup my hands and blow my breath, trying to warm my face in the cold environment.“It feels like Alaska in here.” I mumble to myself.The universe is cruel for sending me to this body that has no resistance to anything whatsoever. In this world that is full of the unthinkable, the least that they can do is giving me some magic power to cast a fire. But no. Not only did I was taken here without my consent, they give me a body that weak he can’t even raise a sword without being nervous.I take my gun from the holster and reload it with fire bullets. Since this body sucks at magic, I have to resort to the most familiar weapon from my previous life: Guns. It doesn’t work on most monsters, but besides knives, that’s the only weapon this body can hold without being nervous. My aim sucks at knives though, hence the handgun.I wasn’t a sharpshooter, but I’m a fast learner. I can shoot with better accuracy now than I was in my previous world. But that’s only because I was preparing exactly fo
*** System activated! Would you like to play the tutorial? *** I just finished drying my hair when the notification came. It makes me gasp in excitement because now I can really know what exactly it is. I hang my blue Pingwy towel around my neck and sit on the bed to prepare for the experience. “Yes.” I said. The interface then expands. It shows me the galaxy and something that looks like a comet. It’s big, blue, shiny, and it’s flying across the galaxy like a shooting star. Then a voice speaks, boyish like but there’s a feminine tone in it, telling me a story. [Once, there is an entity that roams the world… It’s an unknown creature that goes from one world to another, searching for a host. When one has been chosen, it helps the host understand the world and everything inside it. The ‘System’ as your previous world call it, would help those in need of its power to reach greatness. And now… It’s helping… You.] I raise my eyebrows. ‘Kind of dramatic but still okay.’ The screen s
That night, I learned some interesting things that I’m sure would be helpful in the journey. I only slept for 2 hours after learning, because I spent the rest writing what I remember about the plot. "Ozzie." I said as I go to the mirror to fix my tie. Since I’m going to the end game with it, I have to familiarize myself with it. And the best way to start is by knowing each other’s names. I’ve tried asking its names but due to its travel from one world to another, it has a bunch of names that are very hard for me to pronounce. So I gave him the name of my dead dog. [Yes? How can I help you?] The system's boyish voice replied. I know it said that we can communicate through my mind. But this is a single occupant dorm room and the walls are quite thick. Unless I yell, no one would be able to hear that I'm talking to myself. Of course, the slight problem comes when I’m outside. But that's the least of my worry. "Tell me about Trading Points again." [You can get Trading Points by compl
I have every reason to be freaking out. The second exam is an action movie in real life and even more dangerous than fighting Khione. I have always thought of a plan about the 2nd exam, which is to hide somewhere and appear when the problem’s done. But this mission jeopardizes that because it’s just like avoiding a tiger but slipping into a gator’s den instead. ‘… Am I going to die?’ [No, you won’t. But you can get severely hurt.] ‘Well, I’m not a masochist, so no thank you.’ Obviously, that’s not an option, so I have to plan it out very carefully. I take out my notebook and immediately run my pen across the paper. Whatever surprises that revolve around punishment is never good. Again, I don’t know what happens if I die, but I’m not risking my life. The game has just started. “Well. That’s it for today. Prepare everything for your second exam. Good luck.” The teacher finishes writing on the board and leaves the class. If I wasn’t worried about surviving the 2nd exam before, I am
We go to the parking lot and drive off with her car. The academy is located in the Southwest part of the city while the Plaza, the place we’re heading to right now, is in the center part of the city. Denebola City is almost as big as New York. So it’s going to take a while and to spend the time, I decide to continue my list. Rufus wasn’t wrong when he said that this is a grocery list. But I know what will happen in the 2nd exam and these items are something that can help me get more score. After all, the system’s main mission is that I have to score the highest which means I have to beat everyone including the main characters. Now I don’t know how the game’s point system works when the player is inside the game. But I’d like to assume that Rean would get the highest score by default. I don’t know if the game system will give him full score, which I hope not, but I must really list the things I can do to get points. I want to get that reward! “I should remind you that the academy do
Natalie didn’t check my groceries. But she did ask if I bought everything I’ve listed. The answer is obviously not because I’m on a tight budget, especially after preparing for the fight with Khione. I’m not rich like her. My pocket money comes from Terrence’s parents and my own savings from helping in the academy and part-time jobs near the academy. They're not much, and I still have to save up. *** Reward claimed! You got additional 30 TP by helping (3) people! *** I just remembered that Ozzie’s system has additional points that I can claim through helping people. In the plaza, I helped an auntie get a yogurt from the rack in the supermarket and a guy taking a picture by the fountain. That’s two. The last one must be the boy. Well, if that boy was being honest and he did find this, then I just helped him get out of trouble. That boy did say he found it in a field. If someone ever confront me for it, I’ll just feed the person my bullet. Flat characters are not important. I put my
In this world, there is a certain ore called Terra Gemma. It is a magical crystal that can emit sound and image because of a unique magnetic wave. Each crystal has its own signature wave and none of them are the same. If two crystals are within close distance, their waves can instantly connect, but if they’re far from each other, it has to connect to a Connector crystal that could forward the connection. It’s similar to how signal and satellite work and it is used as a mean of communication between settlements. These Connector crystals are put in towers called Crystal Towers with people managing them. It is filled with connector crystals and it needs to be above the ground to ensure no interception from other kinds of ore that has magnetic waves. Denebola City has four of these towers in each wind direction, and one is going to be very troubled today. Several grey vans are spotted in the North District. All of them line up one by one like a caravan and then disperse one by one into d
