THE OZILLA GOLD SYSTEM

Chapter 4

“Trashy system! Stupid gods and deities! What then makes you so powerful if you can't even clothe me!” Maximus kept on cursing at the system as he hid behind the trashcan, hoping not to get recognized by anyone, but sometimes Fate has another plan for our young protagonist.

“Hey! Isn't that the bastard son of the Gayle family?” a black haired youth with big eyeballs voiced out to his friends, at this the group of four turned towards the direction he was pointing.

“Well today seems to be my lucky day. It seems the gods favor me so much that they desire to see that weakling bow at my feet. I, Ronald Orlan, shall grant the gods their desire.” this youth was none other than the scion of the Orlan family, the peak rei-ranker wind ability user who once caused trouble for Maximus at the Silverado Academy.

“Look how dirty he is, I bet you ten gold dramus his family threw him out.” Ronald said, then a mischievous smile played on his face.

“Jacquel, use your telekinesis to lift him.” Ronald ordered a black blond youth standing beside him.

“But Ronald, I am still at the intermediate rei-rank, I can't lift a human or I might suffer a backlash.” the boy stated a known fact.

“Don't be a wussy, just lift him a bit and I will take it up from there.” Ronald coaxed the youth.

“Fine.” the youth then closed his eyes, when he opened them again it was all white with no irises.

“Let the fun begin.” Ronald laughed like a classic manga evil sorcerer.

Maximus was hiding behind the trashcan he had crawled out from when he felt his body becoming lighter, he felt his feet leave the ground but before he could find out exactly what was happening, he felt a massive wind slam face first against a nearby wall.

Thud! He fell down on the cold hard tarred floor.

«system detects four hostile auras aimed against the host. System suggests host eliminate bearer of auras.» the metallic voice of the system rang in Maximus' head. Just then the system gave a new update.

«side quest: defeat four bullies.

reward: twelve system gold coins + copycat skill unlock.»

Maximus stayed on his knees for a few seconds before he finally exploded in a fit of anger.

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! how can I defeat four rei-rankers, you really are a trashy system.” Maximus berated the system.

“Hey bastard, have you lost your brain as well? Did I hit you too hard that you curse at thin air?” Ronald called out to him and burst into laughter with his cronies.

“Shut up Ronald! I am kinda in the middle of something here!”

Boom! Pin drop silence. It took a few seconds for Maximus to realize what he had done but there was no going back now.

“What.. did.. you just say?” Ronald said as his voice stuttered from both shock and anger.

“Alright system, please don't let me die, show me at least one of those godly power you were supposed to give to me. It's now or never.” instead of answering Ronald, Maximus addressed the system. Ronald on the other got so pissed as he felt Maximus was ignoring him.

“I WILL KILL YOU BASTARD!” he charged up his wind ability as it formed multiple wind blades ready to skewer Maximus.

«System advises host to fight to survive using the innate skill of King Arthur, one of the deities who passed his knowledge unto the host.» the metallic voice of the system spoke.

“Well, here goes nothing!” Maximus closed his eyes as he tried to connect to whatever thread there was that attached the knowledge of King Arthur to him.

«Ding! Congratulations to host for unlocking the skill of 'A'. The knowledge of King Arthur the Battle master has been passed unto you. Ability upgrades as host practice and grows more powerful.» the system responded to Maximus. All these took place in a millisecond before the wind blades got close to Maximus.

Swoosh!

Gobsmacked, Dumbfounded, Jaw dropped.

All four youths stood as they stared at Maximus in fear as they watched him dodged all ten wind blades without getting a scratch.

“Wow, the fuck that worked!? Holy shit!” no one was more shocked than Maximus and it showed in his voice. The moment the system granted him knowledge of King Arthur, he opened his eyes to a slow motion world, even the mighty wind blades were so slow he literally waltzed through them.

“Ronald, y'all saw it too right? he just danced through all the attacks.” the telekinesis ability user said with a shaky voice.

“I refuse to believe he can do it, it was purely luck.” Ronald said and gritted his teeth and attacked again, this time more ferocious than before.

Maximus entered a trance like state as he saw all the rectangular wind blades in slow motion. He passed through them and decided to advance towards the group of four.

“Let's see if you can handle the new me.” Maximus ran towards Ronald first, dodging another wind blade, he bent down and gave him a punch on the belly, Ronald's mouth opened in an O shape while his eyes went wide with shock and pain. Maximus gave him an extension kick, then rushed off towards the telekinesis youth who didn't even have time to take a defensive stance, Maximus bent a bit and then gave him a powerful uppercut, sending him three feet away from the others, he passed out before he even hit the ground. Maximus then turned to the last two, holding their heads with each hand, he banged them together, they fell beside Ronald groaning in pain. All these happened in a span of ten seconds.

«Congratulations to host on successfully completing the task.»

«Congratulations to host on successfully unlocking the skill of 'L'. The deceitful charms and copycat ability of Loki god of mischief has been passed unto you. Now host can copy the abilities of of other entities and humans alike. Ability upgrades as host practice and grows more powerful.»

“WOW! Now we're getting somewhere!”
