Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 88 - Monkey Eyes
Next day. In the academy. A 3rd year student enters the Mission Board with wide strides. His tail is swishing behind him, and his ears are twitching cutely, anticipating a good news in this fine morning. He stops in front of the administrator’s desk, his brown eyes that are bright and hopeful gaze at the old man administrator with mirth. “Hello, Mr. Administrator! I’d like to inquire for some missions today, please!” His clear voice and friendly tone are something one would not mind to hear first thing in the morning. But the one hearing it, and being the only one other than the bright kid himself here, is the Mission Board’s administrator. And the old man doesn’t look happy as he looks up at him. He blinks at the kid. At the other side of the counter, the bright student blinks his eyes back innocently. “?” The old man blinks back lazily. “…” “Sir?” the student tilts his head. “…” The man only looks at him. The student tilts his head the other way. He is just opening his mouth
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 89 - Partying up
"Alright. Let's go to the dorm and get your weapon! Can I come into your room?" He asked innocently."No." I refused him immediately.He smiles nervously."Besides, I brought my own weapon.""Hm?"I reach to my behind and, obscured from his sight, will my new gun to appear. It appears right in my hand where it fits perfectly, as if it was made specifically to fit my hand.HG Orion is it's name in the Shop. It looks like a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm. It has a black polymer frame and a stainless steel slide.The barrel length is 3.1 inches, and it has a capacity of 7+1 rounds. It's slightly lower than the academy issued gun, but the power is higher. It also has a feature called "thumb safety" that prevents accidental discharge.I chose this handgun over a magnum for its reliability and compactness. It is easy to conceal, which makes it a great option for personal defense. Even though magnum is the most powerful one in the list, it's too loud and has longer reload time.I spent some t
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 90 - Rowan Village (1)
To the southeast of Denebola is the mountain range that separates Northuria and Eolussia. It’s still a great distance away from Rowan Village, but it’s enough to give people uncommon to the area the chills.Ian blows warm air to his palm and tries to warm his face. “I forgot how cold it is here.”I look at him.He’s wearing a dark green sleeveless tee, a wide maroon scarf that covers his shoulder that now I think is only for fashion, a baggy brown pants that reaches slightly under his knees, a belt and holsters to put his knifes, and dark brown combat boots.From wherever I see it, he doesn’t look like prepared for someone who’s asking for a mission. “I thought you come here often?”He returns my gaze with a frown. “I never said that.”“You said ‘I have friends there! We will have a great time!’” I mimicked what he said at the academy’s entrance.He looks at me flatly, his mouth turning into solid triangle. “That doesn’t mean I come here often! And why are you not affected by the cold
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 91 - Rowan Village (2)
There are 4 harvesters that we have to guard, just like in the game. But I have a feeling that it won’t be as hard as in the game.We have 4 people in our team after all, compared to just 2. So I’m sure this will be a breeze.Getting to the orchard was no trouble at all. But there were two monsters right after we enter the orchard.A Bearon, which like its name is a bear-like monster that has bigger ears and paws than ordinary bear; and a Pranta, which is like a cousin to the Pratta species from the tower incident but it has smoother vines and paler appearance.The Bearon ran away when it saw a bunch of humans in the area, while the Pranta, that was happily sucking the tree sap and oblivious to our presence, was easily tore down by Rean. The harvesters wasted no time and immediately started the harvest.There are more than 8 trees here. I didn’t care to count more than that because the area is SO HUGE. I couldn’t notice it in the game because it only shows us the rowan trees as backgr
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 92 - Rowan Village (3)
I don’t remember how many waves are there. But I do remember there are only 4 kinds of monsters that appear in this event.There are also some rest times between waves, so I take some bullets from my pocket and pretend to refill my ORION.The normal bullets are unlimited, at least, for this certain event. But I need to pretend in front of others because there are no such thing as unlimited bullets.None of us needed healing, so we return to our own respective partners and continue working.The harvesters are fast in the third tree too, but they’re obviously sweating. Could they stand until sunset with so many trees remaining?“Chirp!”A bird’s chirp echoes from the other team’s direction.“Oh… Little birdie.” Lynette smiles when she saw a white bird perching on the rowan tree a few feet in front of her.“Piip.” The bird looks like a white canary that has red dots under both of its eyes. But its body size is slightly bigger.It’s looking curiously at Lynette for a while before turning
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 93 - Departs for Mimosa
After the fourth tree, we went back to the village with me covering the rear. That one basket turned out too heavy for me to carry, so Rean carried it instead. There were only prantas following after us, but nothing I couldn’t handle.We had a break after that exciting event, with fruit juices and rowan tarts prepared for us. After the break, however, four villagers with big empty basket each approached us and the chief asked us to cover this one group as well.Rean snatches the mission paper from me to make sure of something. And he frowns right after.“I’m not trying to be rude, sir, but you should’ve followed the client guidelines before you request help from the academy. This mission paper is full of flaws.”“B-But the administrator passed it as a request…” the chief said.“Obviously because it looks like just a simple harvesting mission. Firstly, you didn’t mention that you need a guard to guard your harvesters. Secondly, you didn’t mention how wide is the orchard or field, and l
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 94 - Cassories
The forest route to Mimosa village is used by the villagers way before the city’s bypass route. The bypass was made specially for them, to avoid having to go through the dangerous forest route. Because monster spawn would increase in certain times, making it impossible to venture through the forest.But the villagers all thought that the city makes the rowan warmer and that it speeds up the rotting process. A study was conducted to prove this statement. And it seemed that there really is significant temperature change from the city and the village, particularly in the southeast bypass area.“Must be due to pollution.” I replied the man.The man nods away. “I agree too. It does feel warmer in the city rather than my own village. Searing hot especially in the middle. Must be because of the bigger buildings, ey? No refreshments. Hehe.” He pumps his eyebrows as if insinuating something else.I don’t know if he’s referring to the infrastructure only or something else too, because that tone
Robin's Reincarnation System 0.1 95 - Dot Man-Eater
After we arrived at Mimosa, we were immediately welcomed by the villagers. The chief welcomed us to his house and the lovely grandma who gave us cookies prepared us with warm tea and delicious apple pie.“Mmh! So good! A pie after work is always rewarding.” I scoop another spoonful of pie and moan in delight when the gooey sweetness fills my mouth.Lynette giggles when she saw my reaction. Maybe it was funny to her.Ian looked like he’s already about to die from the sweets. He never liked something too sweet, but he doesn’t want to be rude. So he finishes his piece and chugs down the tea before he approaches the old lady for mineral water.Rean isn’t eating with us, he’s at the couch with the chief and driver, talking about something I don’t care to find out.“Oh my, you must be so thirsty after working.” The lovely old lady chuckles after Ian chugged down the third glass.The half-munk only smiles sheepishly and then sits back with us.“I’ll just put the pitcher right here for your o

122 - Waiting for Backup
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
121 - Re-group (2)
“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
120 - Re-group (1)
Terrence and Guinevere returned to the village via the same way the monsters the entered the village. The village’s condition wasn’t that much of a difference. It was still in chaos. Although there were more upturned wagons and broken fences, along with monster carcasses.Both cadets grimaced when they saw the situation. Then the plum haired one nodded. “Yeah. Nu-uh. You obviously can’t trigger those monsters. But Rufus obviously wouldn’t listen. He BELIEVED you did it. So, you’re still in trouble.”“Dang it!” Terrence sighed heavily, pretending to be very bothered by it. “Couldn’t this day get any better?”Then they heard a scream from our right. It was high pitched and it was asking for help.“Help!! Uwaa!”A little girl emerged from the corner of a house, looking all bruised and bleeding. Behind her, a Cassory was following her closely while pecking on her dirty blue dress from behind.With her clothes being pulled, the girl lost her balance fell to the ground with a yell. The Cass
119 - Plum found Blondie
Guinevere followed the sound of gunshots and roars that led her deeper into the Southeast Forest. Her heart was beating fast with anxiety. Between getting lost and ambushed, she was also anxious that they would be punished for the chaos in the village.They were the ones who told Blondie to hunt a Bearon after all. And Guinevere had a thought that he must have aggravated the monsters in the forest somehow. She didn’t know if that’s true, but that what most likely to happen. And if it was, then it was their fault.'Is he dead?' Guinevere pouted in distress. Because if he was, it was also their fault.She started to think that testing the Blondie with Bearon hunt ‘alone’ was a bad idea. 'What if he's badly injured and he reports us to the teachers? But he's a nobody. So no one would listen to him, right? But he looks like he's close with Rean... And Rean is a star student, teachers praised him&helli
118 - Sweet Chaos
“How can monsters enter the village?!” The villagers panicked. Rufus’s group tensed. Everybody knew that monsters couldn’t get into villages because there are wards installed. The only chances they could enter are only if those wards were destroyed. Which is obviously what happened here. “The wards… They’re broken…” Pierce mumbled in disbelief. The cadets immediately left the restaurant to look at the situation. When they reached outside, Prantas and Cassories were running around, chasing the villagers and making a mess in the village. “Waaarrkk!!” The Cassories screeched as they were making chaos. “Aaahh! Help!” “Monsters!” The villagers screamed. Some of them were running into their homes, some were hiding behind a cart, or even defending themselves with whatever they could. They were trying their best not to get hurt. “Ah! Duck!” Guinevere dragged Pierce down in time as a Cassory jumped at them. “Wark—ARK!” The freakish bird was immediately slashed by Rufus and fell to t
117 - Mischief
In the end, that SE stood for South East because we ended up going to the forestry near Rowan village.I didn’t take them to be people who like cold temperature, but I think they picked this area because the monsters are less wild than the southwest.Southeast region has Bearons, bear like beast monsters, that while don’t move as fast as Direwolves in the southwest, are essentially more powerful. Added with a couple of Prantas, vine-like plant monsters that crawl on the ground and could grab someone by their feet, this area is a perfect place for training.“The target today is killing a Bearon. Then we’ll bring its head to the local hunting lodge. It’ll fetch some money for dinner.” Rufus said.I’ve always wondered how did the game reward the characters’ team money while all they do is just killing. But here, I found out that monster corpses could be exchanged for money through instances such as Hunting Lodge in the forest.But luckily for me, I didn’t have to do that because the Syst
116 - Hurdle
After delivering the food, the number 7 instantly filled the quota which means there were 13 people left for me to help.There were only 5 days left before the big day, and I need to plan my strategies fast. Not to mention the teamwork I have to increase with those jerks. If I couldn’t open the map within tomorrow, I wouldn’t be able to prepare efficiently.Then I thought of Ian. He was so determined to help people and raise the society’s view of the academy. Maybe I could ask him for help.I opened the map of Orion Terrace to find the guy, but I saw his name right on my dot.“Huh?” I frowned.Then I felt a poke on my shoulder and appeared in front of me was the guy I was looking for.“Hey! You took my job!” He crossed his hands on his chest and looked a bit upset.“Sorry. I just kinda had the epiphany to help people.” I said, pretending to be nervous.“Just kinda…?” He frowned. “No one ‘just kinda’ had an epiphany to ‘help’ people.” He said.I shrugged and pointed to myself. “I did.
115 - First Locked Map
After that short briefing, we were dismissed. Rufus and the others went on their own way while I left to plan my own strategy.‘Ozzie. Did you catch when the event is going to happen? And can I have a map of the venue?’ I asked the System as soon as I got off the elevator.[It will happen at the end of this week. Map will be available for free when you are at the place. But you can buy it at the Shop if you are desperate.]That means I have less than a week to raise my level to at least 16, and work together with… I gulp. Rufus’s team.I never liked them back when I was still a player or now. Rufus is such a… Character. He’s a real bully and bad, and… I don’t like him. Period.Pierce is the only one tolerable. He is the one who has more sense between the three of them. But I still can’t trust him because he still has a dark side that he hasn’t shown yet.While Guinevere... Well… She’s Princess Annoying. F minus. Bleh.I whisked them away from my mind for now and opened the System’s sh
114 - Failed?!
*** Mission failed! You’ve failed the mission “Get in Rean’s Team”! You may not claim the rewards! + Mission changed! Finish the mission and… *** I couldn’t bring myself to continue reading the notification as the only thing on my mind is ‘FAILED?! WHAT THE FUCK?!’ After talking to the girls, also Natalie (again), because I passed out at the banquet and I remembered I had to apologize. But thankfully, she didn’t mind at all. Although she did hear that I went to the training center, and she wanted me to spill about it. I didn’t, of course. She didn’t like it, of course. But I don’t care and she didn’t press further. Then I had a talk with Rean and Ian. Their reactions were mostly the same as the girls. Overall, they had good impression on me. So then what the hell is this? “What is wrong with him?” Guinevere asked, looking at me nervously and slight disgust. “Probably intercepting his escaping brain cells.” Rufus replied uninterestedly. The comment made the plum haired girl
