《Are you a Lucker? (Luck based LitRPG)》 Chapter 1 Shinkai Yuu was sleeping on the rooftop while his friends were playing a game. Andfrom out of nowhere rain of meteors fell down from the sky,as others were screaming, Yuu was sleeping like a log. Synchronizing.,, As part of the promise, You will be transported into Epsilon and to help You adapt in Epsilon, a newrule has been implemented. You have three minutes to learn about Epsilon and chooses Your starting location.Warning! Failure to choose Your starting location will result in random teleportation. Yuu friends stopped screaming. Dumbfounded by a mysterious voice that had just spoken into their mind and the transparent white screen that floated on top of their head. "I see, let''s choose this place." Said one of Yuu''s friends. "Oi! Yuu! Wake up and pick..." The other friend tried to wake Yuu up by slapping his face, but Three minutes have passed. And then the sky distorted, lights came from the floor, and everyone on Earth was teleported into Epsilon. 2 Hours later. When Yuu woke up from his slumber, his cheek was stinging and full of hand mark. Still half asleep, a big yawn came out from his mouth, while stretching his back and scratching his head; Yuu slowly regained his consciousness. Trees as tall as a skyscraper surrounded him, and a strange green light shimmered through the vast canopy of leaves. "Where am i? .....Huh?! WHERE THE FUCK AM I?! Where is the school?!" Yuu''s eyes opened wide, looking around the rainforest with a puzzled face. His voice was replied by the sudden screech of a bird, the flicker of a monkey swinging through the branches overhead and the buzzing sound from the bug. They knew someone was here. Yuu didn''t have any chance to catch a breath, once he sat onto the nearby tree while trying to figuring out what was going on. A blue fur gorilla with four pairs of spider leg on his back swinging from one tree to the another. Yuu blinked several times, rubbed his eyes and pinched his cheek. "Ouch!" Since it was hurt, Yuu assumed that he wasn''t dreaming. ".....Right, is this what they call a hallucination? I know it that study for all night long isn''t good for my mind." Said Yuu while trying to convince himself. Then the reality struck him, theGoritulla jumped down from the right, right in front of Yuu''s face. Its mouth gaped black and dank. They exchanged glares to each other, it was so tense that the silence was as thick as the blackness, then Goritulla pummeled the ground and roared at Yuu. Goritulla slimy saliva along with a smell so foul adhered into Yuu''s body andwithout any warning, Yuu dashed away from Goritulla. "What the fuck is that?! WTF is that?! Wtf is that?!" Like a prayer, Yuu kept repeating his words. Slightly looking back to see the Goritulla location, it used its spider legs to move on the ground with an incredible speed. Maybe the luck wasn''t on Yuu side, he stumbled upon something and kissed the ground. In desperation, Yuu tried to face the Goritulla, it spider legs was piercing the ground, and big hole was created behind its path. "There is noway in hell I can survive that thing!!!!" Yelled Yuu after he saw Goritulla. Though Yuu couldn''t help but wonder why the Goritulla wasn''t attacking him, yet. Goritulla gave a thunderous roar before it slammed its hands and disappeared from Yuu''s sight. "......There''s something behind my back, right?!" At the very least Yuu wanted to know what things that killed him, hoping he could become a ghost and haunted that thing down. But, unlike with his expectation, there was nothing on his back. "Yeah, I''m pretty sure that I didn''t see anything when I was running in this direction." Said Yuu. Still, it was a close call. Whatever the reason that made Goritulla ran away, Yuu assumed that it was either a Deux-ex machina or his hidden power that made it ran away. After catching his breath, Yuu stood up but he couldn''t move his feet. Slowly Yuu moved his gaze toward his feet and found that a thick branch had been tied his feet down.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. It was about the time that Yuu was trying to remove the branch that tied his feet. The top half of Goritulla''s body was thrown at the tree near him, with enough power to split the tree in half, seeing the lifeless corpse of Goritulla, Yuu hastened his hand to remove the thick branch. Just remembering that he had a lighter, Yuu flicked the lighter and burned the branch, the branch wasn''t burned down but it retreated into the ground like someone was pulling it. After this phenomena, Yuu could felt a tremor, surrounding trees were moving and creating a path for one tree, bigger than the rest. Its roots were covering the ground and unlike the other tree, it had a human face andheld a wooden club in its human-like right arm. Yuu desperately tried to run from the Treant, but in front of him, Yuu saw a small dinosaur, twice on his size,with scally skin covered its body and sickle-shaped clawsran at him with incredible speed. It was hard enough for Yuu to run away inside this sea of trees. He knew that for turning around he must stop for a second and stopping mean getting squashed by the Treant, while if he continued to run straight, there was a slight chance the small dinosaur missed him. Or that was what he thought. The dinosaur easily bit his uniform; snatching Yuu and running from the Treant. "Fu!! Is it going to give me to its kids?!" Said Yuu. After spending minutes trying to run away from the dinosaur, Yuu finally fell to the ground, or more likely the dinosaur dropped to the ground. Surprised, Yuu looked toward the dinosaur and saw a green light surrounded on its body. After the light was dissipated, a brown-haired girl, from the lack of muscles on her leg, anyone could tell that this girl was a paraplegic. Though the real problem was. "What the hell happened?! who are you?! where am I?! How can you turn into a dinosaur?! or you''re turning into a human?!" Finally, Yuu snapped. His mind couldn''t take it anymore and the sight of another human made him asked one thousand questions. "E...erm...my name is Hitori Mio. Nice to meet you." Said Mio while her body still facing the ground. "Oh... Shinkai Yuu.... Wait?! This isn''t the time for that!!! Where is this place?! How do you do that?! what is that monster?!" "Erm... I guess this is a part of Epsilon, do you forget it? The meteor? Voice in your head? Epsilon?" "Never heard that..." "...Is that so? Erm... are you sure you didn''t hit your head? I don''t know much about this place either but I guess I can answer your question." And as Yuu began to listen of what happened. He turned his back, covering his face and staring at the distance. "...Ahaha... No way... All of that thing happened and I still sleeping?!" "E..em... don''t feel too bad, you''re doing fine! Um.. I mean just look at me, I was to busy to determine my starting location and the next thing I knew I was in this jungle." Said Mio while trying to cheer Yuu. Taking a deep breath ".....So, this status thing, how do I get that?" "Erm... there''s this tattoo below your right wrist right? try to touch it while saying menu. Um... and if you don''t mind, can you help me sit down? it feels weird to talk while my face was facing the ground." Said Mio. Without hesitation, Yuu grabbed her collar and put her into sitting position. He sat next to her and opening his status. "...Eh, why is mine N/a?" Asked Yuu. "E..ehm... try to roll your status. See? that button? try to touch it." Yuu touched the button on the transparent white screen, dices fall down followed by things that came from out of nowhere. Synchronization completed!

Chapter 2 The pair sat still in the middle of the rainforest jungle. Mio was sitting on the ground, humming and smiling while tinkering with her status screen. Meanwhile, Yuu was cutting off branches, planning to make a spear. He remembered some survival video he watched on Yourtube, something about spear was the best survival weapon. Yuu trimmed the branches and knobs off and made a clean wooden pole, using his dagger, he cut long, thin, vertical strips off the pole until he was left with a shelf for the dagger, cutting his belt and a little bit of his shirt Yuu tied one end of the cordage to the base of the shelf and wrapped the other end around the dagger handle. But then Mio opened her mouth. "Em... Do you have some food?" Yuu stopped, sweating slightly from the effort to make a spear. Gritting his teeth, Yuu faced the truth. He wasn''t hungry right now but when he heard Mio words the thought of eating and drinking began to fill his mind. He knew there must be some food out there, but going out there and searching for foods was a big no. "...Why don''t you turned into a raptor and go hunting some foods." Yu began to tighten the cordage after he said this. Holding her rumbling stomach, Mio said "Em... I already reached the limit. Besides, I saved your life, don''t you suppose to do me a favor?" Yu experimentally swung the spear and was pleased to find the dagger didn''t fall off; completely ignoring Mio. But after much thought, Indeed, she was saving my ass back then. Taking a deep sigh, with an extra bit of confidence that came from his spear. "Yes, yes... I''ll go get some foods for you." Before Yuu went, Mio called out to him "Em... Yuu, why don''t you mark me? just in case... so you can''t lost your way." Thinking that it was a good idea, Yuu walked toward Mio and roughly touched her face. In which she countered by a hard slap on Yuu''s right cheek. "Wha..what are you doing, oh right. Mark.. Please do it somewhere else." Annoyed, with a red hand mark on his check. Yuu pinched Mio''s cheek "Mark." Said Yuu. D6 dice appeared from out of the thin air, rolling on the ground and stopping at 5. Followed by A somewhat faintly transparent tattoo appeared on Mio''s left cheek. "E..ehm.. you can use my bag to store the food." Said Mio while she handing Yuu her leather bag. As Yuu took the bag and walked from the somewhat safe spot. The leaves swayed softly, with every step he took he could hear the sound of crumbling leaves. Remembering the former incident, Yuu walked more slowly and tiptoed towards the treeline while watching to his surrounding. When he finally found a tree that bore strange fruits, which extended for several meters high. And right on top of that tree, there were several six armed monkeys, slightly bigger than the size of a normal monkey, but their distinctive feature was three arms, each on the side of their body. Without hesitation, Yuu chose to walk away from the tree, He continued to search for the other source of food, the one that didn''t jeopardize his safety, but after the fourth occupied tree, Yuu stomach began rumbling. Trying his best to holding the hunger, Yuu decided to wait for the group of six armed monkeys to leave from the tree, but because they didn''t show any sign of leaving, Yuu grabbed a rock and threw it to the nearby tree, hoping the sound could attract them, like in video game, but a few seconds after it hit the tree, only one monkey checked that.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. Right, there is no way that will work. as Yuu quietly began to walk away. *Creak* Yuu''s feet was pressing against a dried branch. Slowly, he looked toward his back, eyes scanning. No monkeys, no movement. ...Where do they go? As Yuu began to walk away from this spot, he heard an extremely heavy breathing sound, leaves fell on his head, without having a chance to look up, a six-armed monkey struck his head. "Guh.. the fuck?!" Next, another six-armed monkey rode on his back, followed by a numerous number of punches, scratches and shrieking shout. "Ook! ook! ook!" Reflexly Yuu grabbed the six-armed monkey and threw it away. Momentarily he noticed there were six monkeys on the ground and one sitting on the tree, slightly bigger and bulkier than the rest. Yuu readied his spear and slowly backed away. The six-armed monkeys watched him furiously, one monkey began to move its arm and leaped toward Yuu, in which, with some luck, Yuu instinctively thrust his spear right into the six-armed monkey abdomen. Yuu swung the spear as strong as he could to remove the lifeless body of the six-armed monkey. Seeing the body of his comrades, the big six-armed monkey jumped to the ground, it began screeching, showing off his sharp teeth and glaring at Yuu''s eyes like it wanted to challenge him. Feeling that he couldn''t win, Yuu still slowly backing away, but unknown to him, the other monkeys already surrounded him, their hands were slamming at the ground alongside with their screeching shouts. Now when it came down to this, Yuu supposed he wouldn''t get away easily, probably the best way was to fight and kill them. The big six-armed monkey slowly circling Yuu, and without a moment of notice, it threw specks of dirt toward Yuu, reflexly he closed his eyes. The big six-armed monkey used this chance to pound Yuu, using two of its lower arms and legs it continued by gripping on Yuu''s body all while the rest of its arms pummeled him. The other six-armed monkey also began to throw him with rocks. Meanwhile, Yuu dropped the spear on his right hand, his left hand pulling the big six-armed monkey head, his right fingers shoving into the big six-armed monkey left eye, pulling it away and Yuu following it by pummeling the big six-armed monkey''s face. After the third punch, the big six-armed monkey was letting his grip go, and the fourth punch was throwing the monkey onto the ground. "Hey, you guys aren''t that strong." Said Yuu while he repeatedly stomping the big six-armed monkey''s head. Following their leader demise, the other monkey stopped throwing rocks and began to flee. Grabbing his spear back "...Oh, right her food." Climbing the tree and put the strange purple round squishy fruits into the leather bag. "Mark." Yuu began to follow a piece of floating fog that led him back to his camp. Soon he saw a girl with brown long bob, still sitting in the same spot while humming and drawing something on the ground. Mio stopped her humming and scrambling her drawing when she noticed Yuu presence. "O..oh... you''re back, wha?! is that blood?!" "Yeah, not mine though. Btw here''s your food." After Yuu handing Mio her food, he sat in the tree in front of her, taking a piece of cigarette and light it away.

Sitting up, Yuu was amazed to find several moons floating around on the starry sky, One moon surrounded by two smaller moons, four even smaller moons queued in a straight line and one moon that seemed to get bigger. Yuu opened his eyes as wide as he could when he noticed that there was a shadow moving around from one of those moons. "E..ehm... So what is your story?" Mio''s voice became one with the background music of burning fire and insect chirping. "Story about what?" Yuu answered with his eyes still gazing toward the stars and the moons. "Em, something about school, maybe... does it fun? do you have many friends? what clubs are you joining in? and aren''t you a bit too young to smoking? or something like that." "Maybe, maybe, I don''t join club, yes I know that. There, I answered everything." Yuu''s eyes still focused on the sky, followed by a big yawn coming out from his mouth. "Ehehe... is that so, erm... Yuu, maybe we should get some water and protein." Although that might be sound demanding but Yuu nodded, it would be better for them to have sufficient nutrition before they started to get dehydration or malnutrition. "...You know, it''s not like I don''t want to help you or something like that, but is that mean I should carry you around? though, just give me one good reason for me to do that?" Said Yuu while he was laying on the ground. "Er,... something about survivor should stick with each other.... or something like that?" Mio''s voices became smaller toward the end of her sentence, her eyes going unfocused when she saw Yuu staring at her, but then she clapped her hand and yelled with a smile. "Oh! l could be your ride." "Sounds fair, well then night, Alarm."Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. As the ten-sided dice showed 10, a small dome came out from the place Yuu used Alarm. Without wasting any moment, Yuu loosened his hair tie, laying back, and fell asleep. "Erm... then I guess I take the first watch... ehehe... Um... Yuu, are you already asleep?" Mio muttered as she watched a young man with two pieces of piercing placed on his ear and black hair, almost as long as her hair sleeping peacefully. A few hours later, Yuu awoke because of some weird noises inside of his head, something like pinging sound. .As he opened his eyes, he noticed that Mio, looking exhausted, yawning while rubbing her eyes. As if she readied to fall asleep anytime soon. "Oi, do you hear something?" Yuu whispered while watching his surrounding. "Hm.... no... zz..." As her head swaying down, she fell asleep while sitting. Stretching his body, Yuu grabbed his spear, readied for the worse possible moment, though after one hour passed. With nothing else to do except keeping the fire burn, Yuu opened his status screen. Level up! Congratulations! You have earned d8 stat point(s). You have earned d12 hit point(s). "How? I was sure I didn''t get anything this afternoon." Yuu checked through all of the available menus, there he found something about Level and Exp. Then Yuu frowned after he read what was written on that menu. Level and Experience will be accumulated once every 00.00 The thought that it wasn''t the Alarm that alerted him, but just a loud notification from the menu somewhat annoyed him a lot. Yuu¡¯s eyes went to the leather bag located next to Mio, where there were many of purple colored fruit, he walked toward there, grabbed a fruit and ate it while rolling the crystal clear status dice, resulting in four and, the blood red hit point dice, resulting in seven. Without thinking too much, Yuu decided to allocate his stat points into Strength and Agility. "Ah, crap. I need two points to raise Agility huh. well, whatever." Shinkai Yuu Class: --- Level: 2 (200/900) Health Point: 19 Base Defense: 14 Discovery: 1 Movement Speed: 35Ft/s Strength: 18 Vitality: 13 Dexterity: 19 Agility: 20 Intelligence: 13 Wisdom: 12 Though, after he allocated the point, Yuu didn''t have anything to do for the rest of the night, except for stargazing, firegazing and groundgazing. Chapter 4 There were flowers, beautiful paintings, leather chairs, and soft music. On the wall was a plasma screen and the bed looked so comfortable. Just one meter in the door a nurse came in. "Hey, how do you do?" The nurse spoke in a calm manner, baked salmon, peas, carrots, corn and water were sitting on top of the white plate that she brought, she placed the food on the build-in-table and sat next to Mio. Mio''s stomach grumbled but she was bored with the same tasteless food, albeit she still ate the tasteless food and replied the nurse. "Hm... I feel amazing today." "Oh, that''s great." As the nurse changed the water on the flower vase, She took one stalk of flower and began to put it in Mio''s ear. "Fuee?!" **** As the sun rose, Mio slowly opened her eyes and found Yuu, using one blade of grass to tickling her ear. "Finally you''re awake, go eat your breakfast, we need to find water ASAP." Said Yuu with a hoarse voice. In front of Mio sat a purple colored fruit, as she took the fruit and chewed it, sweet juice was spilling out from the fruit, flooding her hand and her face. After a few minutes of eating and preparing, Mio rolled a dice, and it showed 6. As her body and clothes transformed into deadly and savagely raptor, she lost her ability to speak but gain an ability to walk. Yuu nonchalantly sat on top of a raptor that moved 63 feet per second and yawned. An hour later, Mio turned back and Yuu was the one that carried her. "Dang, you should gain some weight." Said Yuu when Mio rode on his back. "Ehehe... hm... I know, well the food here is tasty, maybe I will become fat." Mio grinned. It was strange that she felt so excited about this whole Epsilon thing. Although her heart was pounding, knowing that this was a life and death matter. She was content, she could walk under the warmness of the sun, feel the breeziness of the wind, and feel healthier than the usual. They walked for a few hours, and surprisingly they didn''t meet any monster. "Hey... do you hear that?" Mio broke the silence atmosphere. "Hear what?" "Em.. there. Just continue to walk that way." Mio pointing to a slope.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Down the path there was a stream, the slow-flowing and lax stream of water, boulder rose out of the water and the scent of water immersed through the air. "Water!!!" Yuu shouted. It didn''t take long for him to drink the crystal clear water without hesitation. "Damn, this is refreshing." Looking toward Yuu content face, Mio slowly shoved her hand and drank the water. "Hm... I can''t believe a water will taste this good." Drowning his face while drinking the water. Yuu noticed the fish that were swimming in the stream. Something inside Yuu moved, something that he didn''t have since yesterday. Feeling like he was on a vacation, Yuu took off his shirt and grabbed his spear. Walking against the current, a fish with silver scales drifted toward him, Yuu moved his hand in the same way as he flexed his body and threw the spear. As he stood still, the crystal clear water around him turned to red. He rose his spear and showed a fish, almost as big as his hand. "There''s lunch!" Yuu cried. A couple of minutes later, Yuu managed to spearfishing another fish. Less then an hour, he managed to catch five fish, three silver scale sweetfishes and the other two looked like a normal pomfret. Feeling that it was enough, Yuu stopped and began to untie his spearhead. "Oi, gut the fish. I''ll gather some firewood." Yuu gave Mio his dagger and went gathered some wood as soon as he finished his words. "E...ehh?!" An unpleasant feeling rose from her heart when Mio heard Yuu. Her only experience in cooking came from a cooking manga. Unsure of what to do, Mio hesitantly touched the fish, the fish flapping its body when she did this, followed by a scream. "E..ekk!!" Less than a 5 minutes, Yuu came back and the first thing he saw was Mio holding a dagger in reverse, like she wanted to murder people, with five fishes still laying on the ground. "....You can''t cook right?" Without saying any word, Mio lightly nodded. "...Unbelievable." Yuu dropped the firewood and walked toward Mio, taking the dagger and taking one fish. "...Oi, watch me." As Mio seriously stared at Yuu. First, he held the fish by its head and scraped the scale from tail to gill. Once Yuu finished, he scraped the other side and rinsed the fish away. Next, he Inserted the dagger into its bottom, drew the dagger toward the head, spread the abdominal cavity with his finger and rinsed the cavity. "There, get it?" "E..ehm... one more time." Said Mio while rubbing her cheek. "....no, do it by yourself, I''m going to make a fire. It''s better to be ready once I finished." "E..eh... wait... let''s see... holding it by its held, scraping it and pulling the intestines... eeek!!" Mio screamed when she pulled the intestines with her bare hand. After waiting for forever, the rest of the fish was gutted, and with a determined look, Yuu began to cook the fish without any spice. "Oh... this is tasty." Said Mio after she took the first bite. "Nah, there is no way this is tasty. it doesn''t have any spice." Thought that it was an idle talk, Yuu began to eat the fish. A tender meat and the deep taste among the saltiness and soft smell and flavor spread inside of Yuu''s mouth. "Damn... this is good, even though it doesn''t have a spice." Though, around the time they filled their stomach, something was sitting on a branch, gazing at themfrom the distance. Chapter 5 It took around a half hour for them to fill their stomach, As Yuu was laying on the ground while Mio eating the purple fruit, at the same time something moved closer toward their direction. Through its stealthy method, it jumped out from the bushes into in front of Mio, with an arrow ready at the tip of its bow directed at her head. Much to their surprise, Yuu immediately grabbed his dagger. As he watched the tortoise skinned person, covered with a brown leather cloak and leaf green colored hair still directing the arrow right at Mio''s head. "What are you?!" Yuu shouted. As the hooded figure turned its face toward Yuu, it showed its womanly figure and light green eyes with dark green vertical pupils similar to those of a cat. Mio surprised and confused reacted a little too late. With nervous eyes and trembling voice "E..erm... Yuu, I don''t think she knows our language." "Yeah, right. Of course, only human know the common language." Said the husky voice woman as she glared at Mio. Though Yuu also felt a chilling aura came out from her, knowing that running away wasn''t an option, slowly Yuu prepared to throw his dagger. "You trying to get killed?" Said the green woman as another arrow grazing at Yuu''s cheek. "Drop your dagger and put your hand behind your head." As Yuu''s hand released the dagger, and he did as the green woman said. "Good, now give me your artifact or I''ll kill your lover." Artifact? Lover? It seemed as though¡­ as though she thought that both of them were a lover, after hearing her word, Mio quickly reply "W..what... we are not a lover!" Now the green woman eyes went to Mio. "Is that so? then just give me the artifact." "...The fuck is an artifact?" Yuu muttered his thought. "Are you dumb? the thing that you used to create this fire." "You mean the lighter?" Yuu reached his pants pocket and showed the lighter to the green woman. The green woman eyes flickered, and she quickly pointed her arrow toward Yuu. "Yes, yes! that thing, now put it on the ground and walked away from there." After Yuu was moving some distance away, the green woman was moving carefully toward the light, while still pointing her arrow to Yuu. Now her eyes had been dragged to what appeared to be a transparent red crystal laying on the ground. So, seeing her smiling face. Slightly reassured that she wouldn''t launch the arrow, Yuu spoke. "So... can we go?" Pleased with her haul. "Duh, of course not. now, how do I use this?" The green woman began to look at the lighter curiously like she was searching for some kind of switch.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Against his better judgment, Yuu approached her, his intuition somewhat telling him that the green woman didn''t mean any harm. "I don''t mind giving it and teaching it to you, but can you give us a shelter? or maybe telling us the nearby city location." But, as the green woman shifting toward Yuu and Mio, the process took so long then after some time had passed, tthe green woman said "Dork, let me see your status." Much to Yuu surprise, Yuu opened his status screen and showed it to the green woman, although without seeing or glancing at it, the woman said. "You really a smart one eh, showing off your status to a stranger." Scratching his head. Didn''t understand what the green woman meant, eventually with a deep long sigh, the green woman agreed to Yuu offer and took them to her house. Located slightly far from their location. They found a big tree with a big hole in its base and connected by the stream. "What? are you waiting for an invitation letter?" Said the woman as she entered the tree. Inside the tree, they could see all the dead animals being stored inside. The tree''s interior lighting appeared to come from bioluminescent mushrooms growing on the walls. The first thing that Yuu did was dropping Mio and laying on the floor while panting. "...and she said her house is nearby." "E...ehm.. sorry, if only I didn''t roll 1 at my skill." Said Mio weakly as she watched Yuu, barely able to move his body after running for three hours while chasing the green woman. "Now can I see your status?" Said the green woman. As both of them showed her their status, "Hoo~ this is a high stat, are you two a noble? You don''t seem to be a noble though this lady seems like one." She stared at them curiously. "E...erm... no, I''m not. but what is the relation between a noble and a high status?" once again Mio clapped her hand and answered her own question. "Ah! are nobles having a higher status than the usual people?" "Nope, they are just rich people. Well~ you two don''t seem dangerous. I''ll show you mine but don''t tell anyone."

Miss Clorevica right? may I call you that? but isn''t your stat a little bit too low?" Mio said without confident. "Just Clorevica is fine, by the way, too low huh? that is something that I rarely heard." Said Clorevica after she took a deep sigh. "Oh, then you''re a strong one?" This time, Yuu was the one that spoke his mind. "Nope~ I''m just slightly better than the average." Taking another deep sigh. "Listen, I don''t know how your parent raises you or where do you live, but I born with d8 roll, and gained a d4 for everytime I leveled up." "Oh? then isn''t your stat a little bit too high?" Asked Yuu. "Well for nobles or rich person, they could buy a status dice though, the price is insane, like really insane. That''s why I asked that question from before." "Then... you''re a rich person?" "Duh, of course. Just take a look at my tree house located in the middle of a jungle, absolutely I''m a rich one." Beneath the way she spoke, there was a clear sarcastic tone that came out of her eyes. Chapter 6 At dinner, bluish bioluminescent mushrooms shone pieces of meats and colorful nuts that were laying on a big leaf. With Mio''s new purple shirt, tan pant and a black belt given by Clorevica. Satisfied, she explained everything to Clorevica. About the Earth, the meteors, the teleportation and etc. While Yuu was filling his stomach. "Is that all? Well, I guess it must be suck to suddenly teleported like that." Said Clorevica while using her thin dagger to carve something on a bone. which was as thick as Yuu¡¯s fist, "E..erm... Clorevica, do you know about anyone else... you know the one that came from Earth." Said Mio while taking a piece of red colored nuts. "Mio, I think the right question is why is your skin green?" Yuu was chewing a meat while he was saying that. His eyes curiously scanning Clorevica''s turquoise skin and her pointy ear. "Dork, that is racist. As expected from a human." Said Clorevica. Yuu figured that in Epsilon, it was also a racist thing to speak about someone else skin color, But forgot about being racist, he just couldn''t help himself to ask about her ''unusual'' skin color. From the way she spoke, Yuu also realized that there was another human race in Epsilon and got a vague idea about the human status in Epsilon. "Stop calling me Dork and it is the first time for me to see a green-skinned person, anyway Mio... how can you not surprised?" "E..erm... Actually, I am expecting for this kind of thing, I mean it is normal... right? Like in the manga... there must be some other humanoid race." Mio clapped her hand as she had just realized something. "Ah! is that mean there is another kind of elves? Oh! and what about beastman? Or dwarf? Or.. or demon race." "Of course they exist, genius. Anyway, I''ll visit the city in the five days, better prepare yourself if you guys wanna come with me." Satisfied with the fact that she would visit her first city in another world, doing a journey she couldn''t even imagine to have back on Earth, Mio continued to eat with a big grin on her face. Then, upon finishing their dinner. Clorevica gave them a rug, satisfied, Yuu instantly lay down for a nap, resting until the sun shone its brilliant light or that was what he expected. At the early dawn, Clorevica splashed Yuu''s face with a bucket full of water. Surprised by its coldness, Yuu jumped out from his sleep, yelling in a very loud voice. "Gahh!!! The fuck are you thinking?!" "Dork, this isn''t inn and I already told you to prepare yourself, right? go hunt some animals and gather some nuts." Said Clorevica as she already wore her hunting garment. "At least wake me up in a normal way, goddamnit." "E...erm... Yuu, we tried to wake you up." As Mio''s voice came out from behind, Yuu couldn''t help but to rub his eyes and asked. "...What are you doing?" "Duh, of course, she should help too. Anyway, just go hunt some Six-armed monkey or horned boar, with that status you two should be fine." It wasn''t like Yuu worried about Mio wellbeing, but more like How the hell she does that? kind of worry that Yuu had. Clorevica was running even faster than yesterday, leaping from one tree to the another. Meanwhile, Yuu was carrying Mio behind his back. It was until his brain began to work normally. "....Are you going to turn into a raptor and chasing them down?" "E...erm...sorry... it is disgusting... you know... biting them with my mouth..." Mio muttered slowly. "...Then why don''t you just wait at her house?" Vein pop out from Yuu''s forehead when he said this. "E..ehehe... sorry I got carried by the mood when Clorevica said that." As Mio slowly sunk her head behind Yuu''s back. suddenly she shouted next to Yuu''s ear. "Ah! How about this...." **** Moving very carefully, as Yuu''s eyes had been adapted to the darkness. Letting his intuition guide him, Yuu was walking to a tree filled with a horde of six-armed monkeys, as he roughly kicked the tree and woke all of the monkeys. Combining yesterday experience and new information that he got from Mio and Clorevica. First from Mio, in Epsilon, status was everything, as long as their Strength was lower than Yuu''s base defense, the damage was between zero or one and he wouldn''t feel the pain. Equal or higher and the difference would be calculated along with the pain. Second from Clorevica, unlike a humanoid, most of the monster had a fixed base stats, though some variation would exist. Hp 4, Base defense 8, Str 3, Con 10, Dex 12, Agi 15, Int 2, Wis 5. As for the big Six-armed monkeys Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!Hp 16, Base defense 13, Str 7, Con 10, Dex 12, Agi 19, Int 3, Wis 5. Knowing that he would be fine fighting against the normal six-armed monkeys, remembering that the rock didn''t give him any pain. Keeping his calm Yuu began to raise his dagger and began to stab and kick the monkey. Surprisingly, the monkey would be dead if he kicked them with a full power, though after adjusting his strength, from eight monkeys six were dead, while the other two was pass out. Bringing the corpses back to Mio, she welcomed Yuu with a forced smile and Mark tattoo on her hand. "E...erm... right, t..then... l..lets do this..." As Yuu giving her the monkeys. Mio was taking a very long deep breath, her hand was shaking when she pointing the dagger at the pass out monkeys, as she closing her eyes and pressing the dagger right on the monkey''s chest. Breathing heavily, as she had just finish a marathon, she grabbed another monkey and slowly shoved the dagger. "...Hey, Mio, why don''t you just sit back at home?" Said Yuu while he was looking at the girl, trying her best to hold her tears and vomit. Completely ignoring him. "Oi~ Earth to Mio, or should I say Epsilon?" "A...ah...right, i..its fine... please continue hunting, I''ll put the monkey on the bag." Mio''s plan was she would be the one that keeping and putting the corpses into a bag, while Yuu was the one that hunted them. Though in exchange, Yuu would give some of his bounties so she could raise her level and she would be the one that brought the whole corpses back. For the whole day, not even stopping for a rest, Yuu managed to explore the quite well, adapting to the terrain, and watching his surrounding while avoiding any unidentified monsters, but somehow an uneasy feeling kept striking his heart. As his last hunt for the day, Yuu managed to found a horned boar, slightly larger than a great dane; almost reached Yuu''s stomach. It gave a loud, ear-splitting squeal when it saw Yuu As it pointing its horn and charging at Yuu, far slower than the monkeys, Yuu felt he was in a superhero movie when he was grabbing the horn and stopping the boar from its charging. After its movement completely stopped, Yuu single-handedly using his dagger to stab right onto its neck, followed by a loud pitched squeal, the big boar slowly fell down onto its knees. At night, as Clorevica curiously looking at Yuu and the pale face Mio. "I wonder what I can do with this pile of rotten corpses~" Clapping her hand like Mio. "Ah! I found one! Nothing! It''s nothing you fool!! Why don''t you two skinning the meat away?!" "S...sorry..." Mio didn''t dare to look at Clorevica''s eyes when she muttered that. As for Yuu, the uneasy feeling that he felt for the whole day was exactly this. Somehow he completely forgot about the whole skinning thing and process. "Well, look at the bright side, the horned boar moat is still fine right?" Yuu said without a slight sign of guilty. ***** A few hours later. As something was whispering to Yuu''s ear, Yuu slowly opened his eyes and found Mio kept calling at him while throwing a small pebble. "....What do you want." Said Yuu lazily. "E...erm..sorry....I just can''t sleep." Whispered Mio in a small voice. "Ehehe... its fine, sorry to bother." "....." After spending some time to regain his will to move, Yuu answered. "Bad dream?" Mio answered with a small nod. As Yuu got up from his rug, yawning while scratching his head. He took one wooden cup and walked to the river while making an idle talk. "First time killing something?" Mio answered with a nod, even though she knew Yuu was facing the other way. A second later, something hard was striking her forehead. It was Yuu, flicking her forehead as hard as he could. "Stop lying, don''t tell me you never kill a mosquito or an ant." And he handed her a cup of water. After gulping the water and rubbing her forehead "B...but...that was different. I mean... urgh... sorry... I don''t know what to say." Annoyed, Yuu pinching Mio''s cheek. "Then don''t wake me up just because of this." Though, after he was done with it. "Do you need something else? Water? Toilet?" "W...wha... do you seriously asked a woman that question?!" Though, as soon as Mio finished her word, a loud noise echoed inside of their head. Level up! Congratulations! You have earned d8 stat point(s). You have earned d12 hit point(s). Level up! Congratulations! You have earned d6 skill point(s). You have earned d8 stat pint(s).

Cutting her own word, As both of them gaining two level, Yuu rolled two crystal clear status dices, resulting in 6 and 8. Two bloody red hit point dices resulting in 8 and 4 and one rainbow-colored skill dice resulting in 4. While Mio gained 6 and 3 status points, 7 and 7 hit points and 5 skill points, After spending their points, though they couldn''t find a menu to buy skill, their status had become.

Chapter 7 When Yuu awoke, he realized that he honestly had no idea how long he was asleep, two things that he knew. One, Mio was sleeping on his lap. Two, Clorevica smiling at him and she swung a bucket full of cold water at them. As the freezing water touched Mio skin, she instantly opened her eyes as wide as she could and raising her head up. In the process her head met with Yuu''s chin, making a very loud sound as they met. As she was holding her head in pain, she realized she was fell asleep on top of Yuu''s lap and immediately a dice fell, showing a number four. Then she turned into a raptor, running away from Yuu side, hitting Yuu''s face with her tail in the process. "Roarr!!" Roaring, Mio glared and jumped at Yuu, trying to bite him without a clear reason. "Are you sure you two aren''t a comedian couple?" Clorevica commented at the slapstick that just happened in front of her face. Although not receiving a pleasant morning, at least for Yuu. The dawn proceeded as usual, with breakfast consisted of rainbow-colored nuts and banana-shaped apple. And from out of nowhere, a surprising thing came out from Clorevica''s mouth. "Oi, after breakfast, come with me." Clorevica was not joking around. Immediately after she finished her breakfast, she grabbed her bow and leaped out of the tree house. Mio immediately turned into a raptor again while Yuu without hesitation riding her back, they proceeded outside to follow Clorevica path, After a few hours of running and switching, they noticed that there wasn''t any monster near them. which made them feel better. Soon, Clorevica stopped and waiting for both of them this time. "What do you guys think of that?" Said Clorevica as she pointed toward the moving trees. The Treant, although this time it was equipped with a wooden spiky club, bigger than before and a wooden shield. Slowly the surrounding smaller tree began to move, which made both of Yuu and Mio nervous, but somehow Mio figured they could handle it, at least the moving tree. The trees hooted to each other, pointing at the big Treant, and the smallest tree ran to the Treant. When the Treant grabbed it, the smaller Tree turned into a stake and the Treant started to put it inside of its body. "...It''s eating? No, it makes a weapon?" Yuu was still remembering the difference between the first time he met the said Treant and right now. Although he wasn''t sure that it was the same said Treant. "Not bad. So... do you think your artifact could burn the Treant?" Asked Clorevica as she showed Yuu his lighter. "...First, that isn''t an artifact, it just a lighter, a fucking tiny lighter. Second, if you want to burn it down wouldn''t a torch is better than a tiny flame?" "Duh, of course I already tried that, the torch, the flaming arrow, burning the trees but the Treant always used its water magic to turn off the fire. Artifact or not, what I need right now is something that can produce fire anytime I want it." This was the longest line both of Yuu and Mio ever heard from Clorevica, "E..ehm... Clorevica, you''re also a wizard, right? Um... why do-" "Nope, I don''t have fire magic." Said Clorevica, cutting through Mio sentence. "Then... why don''t you wait for someone that could use a fire magic?" Yuu titled his head and raised an eyebrow when he asked this.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. "Duh, and sharing the bounty with some stranger? Look at that Treant size, that is definitely a raid boss." Although confused, Yuu still managed to grasp some of Clorevica words. Some facts that he gained was the Treant wasn''t supposed to be that big and Clorevica was a greedy one, unlike the graceful elf he usually saw on movies. "U..um... Clorevica, if I''m not wrong a raid boss supposed to be defeated by a lot of people right?" As Mio hearing the word ''Raid boss''; sharing her gaming knowledge and asking Clorevica. Clorevica stared at them, put a big grin on her face and touched Yuu''s shoulder. "Ah, here''s my party." Yuu put a face as he had just drunk a very sour lemonade when he saw Clorevica grinning face, ignoring her word, Yuu began to carry Mio away from Clorevica, though this time Mio whispering to his ear. "E...erm... Yuu... why don''t we help her?" "Oh? You want to help her?" As Yuu carefully dropped Mio to the ground. "E...eh...No...I mean both of us... she is giving us a shelter and a food right? Moreover... if something happened to her, we will lose our guide to the city... right?" Yuu stopped for a moment when he heard Mio''s reasoning, although this time without hesitation Yuu dropped Mio. "E..Eh!! Ho-" Mio shouted and Yuu immediately closing her mouth. The trio face was pale when a big shadow suddenly covering the sunlight, as they looked up, the Treant already raised its arm, readied to swing its spiky club anytime soon. As both of Mio and Cloverica rolling their dice showing 4 and 36, one was turning into a raptor and running away. The one was shooting a rope arrow to the nearby tree that pulled her body. The only one left was Yuu hooping side to side. Yuu shouted "Mio! You mo- Gah!! Oi! Help me!!" As Mio stopped running and turning back to Yuu, Cloverica leaped at her back and shouted. "Ah... let me check our schedule, lunch at 12, dinner at 8. Hm~ I don''t see helping a stranger at my schedule." After 1 minute which felt like an eternity. "Goddamnit! Yes! I''ll help you! Just help me run away!" Smiling, Cloverica nocked an arrow, as she said "Knockback Arrow" Three d6 dices were rolling, showing a number totaled in 7. "Crap!" Shouted Cloverica as she shot her arrow and saw the result. The arrow hit right at the Treant body, its body weight made it only get pushed for about two meters, less than the supposed value. Though it was enough for Yuu to escape from the Treant attack range, As Yuu ran and leaped toward Mio in her raptor form, he managed to grab her tail. Surprised, Mio roared and ran away from the Treant location. As they completely fleed away and Mio turned back to her human form. While Yuu began to carry her again, this time on his back, Mio began to pull his hair and hitting him. "Stupid! Insensitive! How dare you! Stupid!" Confused Yuu protested at her while looking to Clorevica. As she did a very bad acting, pretending she had just realized and speaking in a monotone voice. "Ah~ I heard when someone transformed into a creature with a tail, their tail sometimes becomes their most sensitive part. maybe her ass or something else." " C..Clorevica! ...please... don''t say that..." ***** Hitori Mio (Raptor form) Class: --- Level: 3 (0/2700) Health Point:55 Base Defense:15 Discovery: 6 Movement Speed:65feet/s Strength:10 Vitality: 24 Dexterity:13 Agility: 20 Intelligence:18 Wisdom:23

Low-Light Vision:have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Chapter 8 Back at Clorevica tree house. Clorevica was helping Mio to raise her level. Meanwhile, Yuu sat down sighing, there was no way he could take his word back. Looking at many empty bottles made from clay, cloth rag, his lighter and a lot of ale. He began to pour the ale into the clay bottle, estimated up to the neck of the bottle then he tied the rag around the neck of the bottle, using the rope to secure the rag and make sure it didn''t move about. For the first experiment, he lighted the rag and threw the Molotov with a lot of strength towards the clear ground. The result was good enough, but it didn''t manage to create a flaming sea of flames like the one he saw on yourtube. Though, Yuu still creating another 10 Molotov. After he was done with his job, Yuu was laying on the ground, wondering whether or not his family and friends were doing alright. ..... He couldn''t sleep. Now that he was alone, many things started to strike his mind, In the end, he took his dagger and wandered around the forest. From what Clorevica told him, Treant was a territorial monster, it wouldn''t move outside of its territory. While moving carefully, avoiding any strong looking monster. As he crept inside of the jungle, farming 16 six-armed monkeys and 4 horned boars, his body now was far lighter than the usual, he could run at a full speed for twenty minutes before his breath became short. Not only that he experimented by kicking a tree and he was strong enough to peel the bark without feeling any pain. Then when he was fighting another group of six-armed monkeys, although this time there were two big six-armed monkeys inside of that group, he resigned himself to a deep sigh. Three punches were enough to kill one big six-armed monkey, as for the other one using a small dagger Yuu managed to almost cut half of its head. Though, after stretching his body. Yuu somehow felt slightly guilty, what will happen if I keep mindlessly killing those monster? wouldn''t they go extinct? but isn''t their number a little bit too much? no matter how fast they reproduce, in the last two days, I almost killed 100 of those monkeys. And that is only me, not to mention someone else like Clorevica and their natural predator. But that was a question for another day. Yuu couldn''t believe his mind, but he was bored fighting against the same enemies moreover they already became too easy. Looking at the bright brilliant sun, he began to reminisce about his daily life on earth. Usually, he and his friend would lazying around at the rooftop, sometimes like four times in a week, a senior or freshman gang would come and challenge his group. Though most of the time his gang would win. ..... Now that he thought about it, his life on earth didn''t have that much difference like the one he did right now. It was always about fighting, fighting and more fighting. Though, somehow Yuu was missing the moment right when he came back home and his parent would scold him after a big fight. His little brother that always asking whether or not he won the fight or his little sister that was in her rebellious phase, always looking at everyone with a disgust.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Strangely, he always thought about living his life to the fullest was always his dream. Went to stargazing in winter, fishing in summer, falling in love in spring or just straight lazying around in fall. But, in reality, he felt something was missing, it just didn''t feel the same when he was in Epsilon, though he didn''t know what was the reason. And yes, this was Epsilon. Yuu was only distracted for a split second before something manage to creep right at his legs, but that was enough for it to stop what Yuu was doing and threw him to the tree; dropping his dagger in the process. "Gah!" As result a large amount of green leaves falling towards his head. Different from the monkeys and the horned boar, this time he felt a pain. His back was aching and he was coughing for a couple of times. He heard a hissing sound and saw a large snake with its thick, muscular body almost as big as Mio and dull green scales decorated with dirty brown stripes slithering to his way. Though it was slow, like very slow, Yuu managed to search for his dagger and grabbed it yet, the constrictor snake wasn''t able to catch him and not only that it also made a loud hissing sound as it turning his body and slithering toward Yuu. "Unbelievable, how can I not noticing something at this size." Yuu muttered. As the snake somehow became alerted, it raised its body and showed its two fangs that had the size twice of Yuu''s middle finger. As the constrictor snake pecked at Yuu, he non chalantly avoiding it while slashing a little bit of its head. The slash wasn''t deep, but it was enough to make it bleed. Once again it attacked Yuu this time using its tail to sweep him, but it was slow, too slow at least it was slow in Yuu eyes. Yuu slightly jumped avoiding its tail, though to his surprise, the corner of its tail bent in an impossible way and stroke Yuu right in his chest, this time the impact and the pain was greater than the previous one and threw in a few meters away. Even though Yuu could run away, this time he began to concentrate, he took a slight peek on his Hit point and saw he only hat 17 Hit point left. Taking a deep sigh, he changed the dagger stance and placed his thumb on top of the spine of the dagger. Once again, the snake was sweeping its tail, but Yuu was already expecting that. Rather than avoiding it, Yuu was charging forward, he got out of the tail area and sprinted all the way right to the snakehead. The Constrictor snake didn''t stand like a fool, it moved its head toward him, albeit if Yuu could see it, something that slow wouldn''t hit him. At ease Yuu was dropping his body, completely avoiding the Constrictor snake''s peck and countering by stabbing its neck, with the small help of his thumb, Yuu applied more pressure and repeatedly stabbing its body. Once seeing the corpse of Constrictor snake, Yuu feeling contempt. Remembering Clorevica''s words. He dutifully skinned the snake but failed miserably, it blood spurt all over of his clothes... or more like Clorevica clothes that he borrowed. In the end, Yuu was only cutting its fang and some meat from its body. As the sun sky turned yellow and Yuu finally entering the tree house, he saw Mio clumsily trying to gut the fish and Clorevica sorting the herbs and mushrooms. "Oh.. welcome bac- Gya!! What happened? why are you covered in blood?!" Mio shouted when she saw Yuu, her hand moving around like she wanted to reach him. "...Geez, chill out. It''s not my blood, by the way Clorevica, do you know about this meat?" "Oh? Constrictor snake? So? Are you looking for a praise?" "Eh, nope, just wanna to know about its name." Yuu said as he removed his clothes and washed his body. Chapter 9 At dinner, after drinking red liquid or potion from Clorevica, the pain on Yuu''s chest and back slowly gone. After a few seconds, his Hit point went back to 38, though as a repayment, he must spend the rest of his night making a whole lot bundle of Molotov, then a loud noise echoed inside of Yuu''s head. Level up! Congratulations! You have earned d6 skill point(s). You have earned d8 stat pint(s). You have earned d12 hit point(s). Looked like for every odd level he would gain a dice for skill points, So, being bored with his chore, he opened his status screen. Right, when he wanted to roll the dice, Mio spoke to him. "Eh... already level up again?" Instantly Yuu looking at her, from the timing she got awoke and her opening status scree. Yuu could tell that she also leveled up. "Oi, let''s see who will roll higher." Said Yuu. "E..erm... what is the point?" "I''m just bored, alright 3..2..1 go shoot!" When Mio heard the countdown she was flustered. Still, she joined Yuu in his little game and also threw her dices. The result was 3 for Yuu skill dice, 7 for his status dice hit point dice. As for Mio, She got 7 for her status dice and 8 for her hit point dice. "Damn, you''re good at this." Said Yuu when he looked at the one point difference. "E..ehehe... thanks?" Mio tilted her head and answered. him Right when Yuu was about to distribute his stat, Mio stopped him. This time she told something about a dump stat and how he should manage his status point. Before, Yuu always used every status points he had and distributed the rest of his status points to a stat he can raise. It was only after hearing her explanation Yuu began to think more seriously about his distribution. In the end, he decided to spend all of his status points in Strength, Vitality, Dexterity, Agility.

But, then Yuu realized something. "Hey? Where is the nonkilling policy you have? do you get past over it?" Yuu raised his eyebrow and tilted his head in confusion. With a very deep sigh, Mio turned her red face away from Yuu and murmured. "I...It can''t be helped... Clorevica throw me right into the Venomroach...." Her body was shaking, she was turning her face again, this time facing Yuu and raising her arm with a drop of tears on the corner of her eyes. "..Grah! Jerk! Stupid! Why do you mention that!!" Said Mio as she was hitting Yuu. Hearing the word of Venomroach, even though he didn''t know what kind of monster was that. Yuu was imagining a big cockroach, with its brown and black exoskeleton that gleamed when exposed to the light. Defending her punches while gasping in surprise. "....Don''t tell me you(raptor) eat the cockroach?!" Said Yuu half joking half serious hoping she didn''t do that. "W..what! O..of course not!" After Mio was stopping her punch and sticking her tongue out, she turned her back and slept while murmuring about something. In the end, Yuu was making another batch of Molotov, **** At the next dawn, this time Yuu got awoke as fast as he could. Right at the moment when Clorevica began to fill the bucket. Loud clicking tongue sound could be heard coming from her direction. As they ate a light breakfast, Clorevica did a small briefing. "Okay, listen. I don''t have a healing skill and my potion is limited. Try not to get hit by the Treant, Also, watch out for its ability to control another tree and turn them into its weapon, also it has water and earth magic. As for its status, I have the status for normal Treant, but let''s just assume this one was five times stronger than the usual. Average normal treant status: Hp 174 Base defense 21 Str 29, Con 21, Dex 8, Agi 13, Int 12, Wis 16. Then they proceeded to the Treant territory. Though not only it was bigger than yesterday, might be around forty meter high; moss and vines also covered its body. As Mio said "Animal Shape (Raptor)" and rolled her d6 resulted in 3, she turned into her raptor form. Thought this time there was a satchel on her back, along with helmet, knee, and elbow guard. On her tail, there was an axe head. "...? Didn''t it supposed to be your sensitive part?" Said Yuu when he saw her form. Though this time she glared at him and shoved Yuu''s body using her head. Then Clorevica used "Magic Weapon." 2d10 fell and showed (4,8), Again this time for Yuu (9,5) and Mio (9, 7), as Yuu''s dagger and Mio''s Axe tail were covered by floating blue sand. "Actually, you two don''t need to attack except you''re bored of living, but just in case something happened it''s better to have a preparation. though this is only last for an hour." Chapter 10 Clorevica couldn''t help but unbelievably look at two under leveled, far under leveled couple. Yuu plunged toward the Treant and consistently avoiding its smashing while throwing a Molotov on its body and roots. As Mio repeatedly jumped and brought Yuu another bundle of Molotov without an order. Meanwhile, Clorevica was sniping from the distance, keeping the moving tree away from them while sometimes attacking the Treant. If this kept going as they planned, maybe they could defeat the Treant. However, the Treant wasn''t only stood still. Holes opened on its finger. Immediately, a dozen wooden stakes were flying toward Yuu, although he managed to avoid all of it, the stakes were creating a fence, blocking Yuu movement for a moment. The Treant didn''t miss its chance and shot a first rank earth magic, Rock-volver Six stones hovered around its wrist and launched toward Yuu at the same time. Didn''t have enough time to avoid them, Yuu threw away the rest of the Molotov and used his arms to cover his head and chest. Only two rocks hit him, one at his stomach and the other one at his right wrist, but the impact was enough to throw him out of the fence. "Mio! Cover the Dork! I''m going to attract its attention! Rain of Arrows." 20d6 dice rolled out, without seeing the result, Clorevica launched an arrow toward the top of Treant head. It exploded and conjured 80 of magical arrows that rain down on the Treant. as Mio was running, biting Yuu clothes and fleeing away from the Treant and the moving tree. As the Treant attention shifted toward Clorevica, Yuu was catching his breath, coughing while holding in with the pain. He took a peek on his Hit point and saw he only had 33 Hit point left. As he forcefully moving his hand, taking a bottle of potion and drank it, after 10 seconds his Hit point went back to 52. The bruise on his stomach and his wrist slowly disappeared. "Thanks..." Yuu said as he grabbed another Molotov and charged toward the Treant again. As he burning the cloth and throwing it to the Treant, slowly turning its brown bark to black. Although 10 minutes had passed, Yuu couldn''t see the sigh that the Treant was bothered by the flame. "Clo! Use your knockback arrow!" Yuu shouted. He set up another Molotov and threw it high into the air, Clorevica, understood what Yuu wanted, aiming at the bottle and "Knockback Arrow." launching the bottle for another 18 meters, as the bottle heading toward the Treant leaf hair, it burned more effective than on its skin. At the same time, Mio was using her tail to slam the surrounding moving Tree, making a chance for them to do that. Then Clorevica retreated and once again supported them from the distance. After that, the Treant used Wall of Water, a rank three water magic. Wall of water burst out the ground, covering the Treant body and extinguishing the fire. the pressure that came out of the wall was enough to block Clorevica arrow. "Now what?" Yuu asked while he was catching his breath, completely open to an attack, Mio who was covering Yuu''s back realizing the Treant shot wooden stakes toward him and jumped at Yuu, biting him and moving away. "Ou... thanks!" Said Yuu while he was rubbing her neck.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. "Dork! Stop flirting around! keep your distance and ready yourself to throw another Molotov." Once the water dissipated, Yuu immediately threw another Molotov as Clorevica also launched her arrows. As flame and smoke raised up from the Treant body, it raised a tremendous roar, enough to make Yuu and Mio whole body gone numb. The Treant raised its club and swung it to Yuu, couldn''t prepare himself to avoid it, he used the whole of his arm and embraced the attack. Once the club was connected to him, Yuu''s left arm and leg was partially damaged, even bone was popped out from his arm and his leg was fractured, not only that Yuu flew toward Mio body, destroying half of their Molotov stock, though if Mio didn''t use her body as a pillow, the damage would be far greater. One hit alone was enough to reduce Yuu''s hit point into 5 and Mio absorbing the impact, her Hit point was reduced by 9. The enraged Treant began to open its mouth and started spewing rain of stakes. "Gravity Arrow." "Knockback Arrow." As Clorevica launched another arrow, thought the weight and the density were significantly increased. She precisely shot each of the stakes, switching between Gravity Arrow and Knockback Arrow, though the cost was she already reached the limit on her Gravity Arrow and could only use Knockback Arrow two more times. At this moment, Clorevica made her move and gracefully leaped toward them. "Oi! Still alive?" As slowly Mio began able to move, followed by Yuu, they nodded at her. Though, as for Yuu case, there was no way he could fight with that arm. Clorevica was covering their escape path and giving him another two bottle of potions as Mio using her neck as a support for Yuu and they ran to a safe place. Without hesitation, Clorevica put the bone on Yuu''s arm back to its rightful place while Yuu drank the potions, trying not to vomit. As his Hit point went up to 45, his arms and legs was slowly healed but his mental fatigue from the pain was already reaching his limit. Though, somehow he was smiling while panting. "Crap... does he lose his mind?" Said Clorevica while slapping his cheek. Meanwhile, Mio transformation was already reaching her limit. As she slowly turned back into her human form. "Yuu! Are you okay?! Do you need another potion?!" and barraged him with another series of question. Panting and smiling, "Geez, I''m fine. By the way Mio, what do you think of that?" Said Yuu as he pointing toward the Treant face. "E..Eh? It is a Treant! did you forget? A..amnesia? are you having an amnesia?" Said Mio as she was shaking Yuu''s body. "...Dumbass, what I mean what do you think if we threw the Molotov right at its mouth?" Yuu said as he trying to stand up and grabbed another bottle of Molotov. A few seconds later, Yuu made his move and began to throw another Molotov, distracting the Treant attention. As Clorevica waiting behind the Tree, ready to shoot at the precise moment. With many of its roots burned down, it didn''t take a long time for the enraged Treant to open its mouth and ready to spew the stakes. Though, this was the moment Yuu was waiting for. Successfully gaining its attention the Treant didn''t realize that inside of the sea of trees, Mio and Clorevica already waiting. As Mio leaped in, biting a bag full of the rest of the Molotov and threw it right into the Treant mouth while fleeing with Yuu. At the same time, Clorevica was waiting for the precise moment, full of precision, she shot the flaming arrowhead right at the bag when it reached the Treant''s mouth. As the fire burning right inside of the Treant''s mouth, it didn''t take long for its body to be burned from the inside. As the burning Treant fell to the ground, its body slowly turned into ashes and from the middle of its body, there was a silver treasure chest. Chapter 11 5 days later. As a human, a raptor, and a wood elf walked out from the thick deep jungle. They saw many other people, young, old, even kids, not older than a junior high school student, some were heavily armed, others were only brought a simple sword, some were looking like human and others had pointy ears or a horn. Though, one thing for sure, their eyes were attracted to a large chest and mysterious bag that was carried by the raptor. Back at the trio, Yuu once more checking his left arm, a big scar was left by the Treant. It wasn''t like he was bothered by the scar, but the scar was itchy. "Dork, don''t you dare scratch it." Said Clorevica without looking at him. Right after they found the chest, the wound on Yuu''s arm and leg were opening again. One thing that he learned from that incident was, no matter how magical a potion is, they couldn''t instantly heal the wound without a proper treatment. As the tree became thinner and the crowd became louder. "Yeah, this is the city. If you''re looking for a place with rowdy people, paying for your house and water. Yep, Earthbury is your place." Not the warmest welcome they could get. Yuu somehow was kinda expecting she explained it with a smile while spinning around but Clorevica was just being herself. The city of was built amidst the flora of a mighty jungle, its grace was matched by the backdrop of clear skies which have helped shape the city into what it was today. Many different designs of building managed to display its multicultural as the city''s identity. As they passed the city guard, stern-looking men were blocking their path. "What''s in the bag?" Asked the guard. "My prize. Got any problem with that?" Said Clorevica as she took a card and in secret handing the guard two pieces of silver coin. Once they passed the guard, a dozen taverns, inns, and street vendors offered a plethora of culinary choices for those who felt hungry, Though, from among many of those interesting places, the place that they were heading to was the Adventurer Guild. "Hey, Mio. This is cliche right?" Even though Yuu didn''t play that much video game or reading too many reincarnated or transferred into another world manga, he was familiar enough with these kinds of story. Mio(Raptor) grinning and nodding at Yuu''s word. As their feet touching the guild marble floor. Everyone was stopped talking and staring at them. In her mind, Mio could only though. Yep, precisely like the one I read in a manga. Pulling the cart, following the other two to the counter. "How much for all of these?" Said Clorevica while showing the receptionist inside of the mysterious bag and the chest. After the receptionist saw it, she only nodded and guided them to the guild warehouse. Though, since the corridor was too small for Mio, she turned back into her human form and sat on the cart, while Yuu was the one pulling the cart. Following the silent receptionist, they entered a room. There, they saw a group of people, all were wearing a monocle while inspecting the ores, weapons or monster remains. "Oh, you two can leave me. Ms. receptionist, go help them making an adventurer id." Said Clorevica as she gave each one of them ten silver pieces. As Yuu nonchalantly carry Mio and followed the receptionist back to the hall. With the payment of ten silver, they got a registration form. "....Oi, Mio. Can you read this?" "Sorry... but I can''t" Even though they could speak without any problem, the letter that was written in front of their face was a hieroglyph for them but the receptionist smiling at them. "It''s okay. There are many people older than you guys couldn''t read either. I don''t mind helping you two. Just telling me your name, your age and your hometown." Said the receptionist. "O..oh... Hitori Mio. 18. E..ermm hometown?! should I say Japan? or Earth?" "Hi..to..ri.. Mio right? That is an unusual name. and where is your hometown?" "Shinkai Yuu. Shi..n..ka..i Yu..u. 17. Ah, about our hometown, it''s Earth, though it is already destroyed." Said Yuu without thinking too much.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. "Earth? like you guys are living in the underground? Hm~ I guess that is explaining your weird name. Ah! How rude of me, my name is Aurabelle. Just call me Aura or Bell whichever the one you like. By the way Yuu right? we are in the same age. Hope we will get along-" *Ahem* As the receptionist next to her coughing, signaling the long sleek purple haired girl to stop talking and continuing her job. Aurabelle went back into her silent and professional mode. "*Ahem* I beg your pardon, then allow me to escort you to the Class room." Once again they following Aurabelle but this time they went to the other side, inside of it there was a couple amount of table and chair; on top of the table there was a small basket, filled with blue water and a floating cube on top of it. Besides them, there were four other people, two was guarding the entrance, one was sitting on the chair looking confused, while the other was an old man, more like a grandpa with a long messy white hair and beard, complemented with its white cat ears and tail. Following Aurabelle, Yuu put Mio on the chair and began to take a seat next to her. "*Ahem* Then allow me to explain. First, put your right hand into the water after that just say Class, once you decide which Class you will take, put your right hand into the floating cube and voila~ You can choose your class!" Following her explanation, Yuu and Mio began to put their right arm into the water.

"Ohoho, we get a promising youngster over here." Unknowingly to them, the old man already stood behind their back and talking with Aurabelle. "....Mio, can you read those?" "Sorry...No." "Ah! Sorry, I forget! Let me help you two." Said Aurabelle. She went to the outside and after five minutes she walked back with a very thick book. "*Ahem* Then, let''s start with Mio first." Throughout Aurabelle long explanation, Mio''s face entering her serious mode, and once in a while, she nodded to her. It was until she heard about Aurabelle explanation about Shifter. "*Ahem* then the next is Shifter. A shifter can change their body part with the form of nature." Hearing Aurabelle''s explanation. Without hesitation Mio putting her hand to the cube and picking Shifter as her first Class. You have selected Shifter Class. Gained +1 Str +1 Vit+1 Agi +1 Wis. Congratulations! You have unlocked Skill for Shifter. In an instant,she bought a new skill. As her leg slowly turning scally and green, Mio slowly moved her leg. Positioned himself on her left side, while Yuu rested his chin against his right arm. ".....Oh?! You can move your leg?" Said Yuu with a few second delays after he saw Mio moving her leg. Mio body was shaking, a big grin pasted on her mouth, as she stood and ran toward Yuu. but, because she wasn''t used to her new leg, she slipped,slamming right to Yuu, as they was falling to the back, in reflex Yuu raised his right arm and using his left to hold Mio. You have selected Thief Class. Gained +2 Dex +2 Agi. Congratulations! You have unlocked Skill for Thief. "........." Hearing a word only he could hear, while the other part was happily hugging him. Feeling annoyed Yuu pinched Mio''s cheek until it turned bright red. "Aw! Aw! Aw!... Whai (Why)?"

Chapter 12 Back at the guild hall, although Yuu planning to become a Fighter or Swordsman but what happened had happened. Moreover, Thief wasn''t that bad either and his status distribution also wasn''t that bad either. While waiting for Clorevica, Yuu realized that no one from Earth had chosen Earthbury as their starting point. Letting out a big sigh, "E..erm... Yuu... I''m sorry.." once again Mio bowing her head and apologizing. "Geez, relax. I''m not that MAD." Replied Yuu without looking at Mio. After 5 minutes full of conversation with Mio apologizing, Clorevica walked out of the warehouse and brought three leather purse along with a small bag. "Your share." Said Clorevica as she threw the purses to them. Yuu checked the purse. Inside he found 99 gold coin, 99 silver coin, 99 copper coin, and 100 iron coin. Without saying a word he stood up and walked away from them. Immediately Mio stood up and grabbed his shoulder. "...What again? Our deal is off right?" Said Yuu while turning his face; facing Mio. "E..erm... can we stay together a little bit longer? You know... maybe until we learn about the letter and money currency." Said Mio. ....That was a good idea. Yuu never thought about that and much to his surprise Clorevica also stood up and talking to them. "Dork, Mio. I''m going to buy some supplies. Wanna come?" As they curiously glancing at Clorevica, working their brain to decipher the weaning of her word. She walked past them without saying anything. Gasped, Mio with her raptor leg pulling Yuu''s arm. "W..wait Clorevica, we''re coming." At the shopping district in Earthbury city, they followed Clorevica and went through many blacksmith and armor store, as they entered the alley; deviated from the main street. They reached a tattered small shop with no one else except an old man and a young dwarf. "Gramps, make me something good from this." Said Clorevica as she thrown her bag and showed a different kind of monster materials. The old man, bald, thin, only had two tooths left and didn''t look promising at all, without even smiling or greeting them, checked the bag and took some materials away. Without anything else to do, Yuu strolled around the store as he found an enormous massive sword, from tip to handle, it is approximately 1.8 to 2.1 meter long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot wide, the blade had a lighter silvery color on the bladed edge, while the rest of the blade was black metal, precisely like the one he saw on video game. As he moved his finger to touched the sword. "Brat!! Who do you think you are to touch my creation?!" Yelled the old man, even though Yuu hadn''t touched the sword. Yuu turning his head, looking at the old man with a vein popping out from his forehead. No wonder no one coming to this shop he thought on his mind.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. "Relax gramps, they''re with me. Though that guy is a dork, I don''t think he will understand your words. By the way they are still new for this kind of thing, like a baby." Said Clorevica. "A greenhorn eh?" Shouted the old man. As he glanced at Yuu and Mio. "Oh? Thief and Shifter? that''s unusual. Still, my creation isn''t for a greenhorn. Bokhit! go listen to their orders." Said the old man like he magically knew about Yuu and Mio class. The young dwarf then went to them. "What do you want? I''m guessing the woman over there is a shifter.* The dwarf stopping his words and shaking his head while sighing "Why do you choose a shifter? it is like, I don''t know, the second most useless Class you can ever take." Said the dwarf as his eyes were scanning at Mio''s body. Rather than replying back, Mio just slowly walked behind Yuu''s back and slowly hid her face. "...Well, she has her own reason." Replied Yuu as her spokesperson. As Bokhit strolled around to the store right side and mumbling "Hmph! whatever, then a Shifter... shifter... how about a couple of throwing weapons? like a short spear and throwing knife? that should be fine to cover your weaknesses." Said Bokhit, he grabbed a few different varieties of short spear, about 1 meter in length and threw it to Yuu. "Oi! Mio, your short spears is here." Said Yuu as he turned around and handing her the spears. "Then a Thief... *Sigh* why are you choosing Thief? are you want to become a criminal?" Bokhit once again commenting at their Class while shaking his head. "Then, of course, you want a dagger, maybe some throwing weapon, and... " Said Bokhit. "Oi! how much for this?" Said Yuu as he pointing a crossbow. Bokhit completely ignoring him and continuing his word. "That one is a fail product, how about this boomerang? it should be fine, Ah, can you use Chakram? Oh, this one is a good one for the woman." As he scattered a lot of thing on top of the table and gave both of them a monocle. Wearing the monocles, as they focusing their eyes, they could see a small screen popping out from the equipment and this time in a language they could understand. After browsing through the list, they could optimize their choices, but Yuu''s fashion sense was tingling when he saw the color combination of armor and clothes that Mio chose. In the end, he chose her armor, a stylish one. Shinkai Yuu. Weapon: Black-Steel Switch Dagger.

Still, even after spending their time shopping, they didn''t manage to get a grasp of the money value in Epsilon. In the end, Mio told Yuu to just assuming that 1 Cooper coin was equal to 1$ and spending their money based on that assumption. They stayed at a high-grade inn, a night with meals was 8 Silver coin, since this inn didn''t have a triple room, and even though Yuu was forcing the other to take a private room, somehow Mio was insisting to stay in one room. In the end, they took a room for four persons costing 30 silver coin for a night. Albeit protesting, Yuu eyes were shinning when he finally saw a bed, a real bed not the one made from a bear rug. "Finally!" He said as he dived to the bed. It didn''t take long for him to fall into a deep slumber. While Mio was sniffing her body with an unpleasant expression. Rummaging through their groceries, she took out a soap, a shampoo, a toothbrush, and a toothpaste, with a big grin on her face she ran to the bathroom. Clorevica on the other hand, sitting on top of her bed, closing her eyes and slowly releasing her breath in and out while thinking. ...Why am I following them? Falling deep into her meditation, she could hear everything, a laughing voice from the first floor, a sound of water from the bathroom, Mio''s humming and a slight movement from Yuu''s direction. As she opening her eyes, she saw Yuu, already standing while scratching his head. Slowly he walked away from his bed. "Dork, where are you going?" Half asleep, a big yawn came out from Yuu. "...Toilet." He replied. Then, Slowly Yuu turned the doorknob and stood still in front of the bathroom. Five seconds later. "Gyaaa!!! W..What are you doing! G..get out!!!" As a bucket flying right into Yuu''s head, he closed the door and walked away. Watching the slapstick comedy Ah, that is my reason Clorevica thought on her mind with a little giggle came from her mouth. After all of them was finished bathing and taking a good amount of rest, they walked to the first floor and eating their dinner. Then, while Yuu was smoking on the outside, Mio eating her cakes and Clorevica enjoying her ale, a medium build man about 180 cm tall came to them with a big grin. "Hey, isn''t that the famous Clorevica? what are you doing? bored living in the jungle?" Said the man as sat in Yuu''s chair. Clorevica acting like the man wasn''t there and Mio slightly looking at him. Wearing a fancy black robe with a mysterious letter scribbled on its side and a pointy hat along with a book on his arm. Yup, this must be a magician Mio thought on her mind. "Ouch! Such a cold treatment. Hey, miss, you seem to be a kind person. What''s your name?" Asked the man as he gave Mio a friendly smile. "E..erm...Mio...nice to meet you, em.. excuse me, but that seat is-" Replied Mio as she politely trying to tell Osval that the seat was taken but Osval was cutting her word. "I''m Osval, by the way, is she your friend?" Asked Osval as he rested his chin on top of the table and gazing at Mio. Slightly turning her eyes to Clorevica, she nodded. "I see... it must be sucks right?, having a cold-blooded murderer as your friend."Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. His word made Mio flinched, and the inn rowdy atmosphere slowly became quiet as everyone started whispering among each other and looking at Clorevica. "Oh? You don''t know? Oops... did I just say something unnecessary?" Said Osval as he closing his mouth. But he managed to get Clorevica attention as she said. "What do you want?" Raising his head and nodding a few times. "Now we''re talking. Hey, hey do you remember me?" Osval pointing himself and asked Clorevica with a smile, though this time his eyes weren''t smiling as he glared at her. "Duh, do you think I''m stupid? You just introduce yourself." "Yup, yup. Of course, you don''t remember. After all, we are nothing more than an insect for you. So... what are you planning to do to Mio? do you find your next target? Hm... hey, Mio, Mi~o." Perhaps the most stressing thing about the whole situation to Mio was she wanted to speak for Clorevica, but unsure of what she should say, she trembled, as the air that entered her lunge became heavy and her body become hotter. "Hey~ Mio~ Are you ignoring me?" Said Osval as he waving his hand right in front of Mio''s face. And this whole situation was almost immediately over when someone was speaking. "...Dude, I don''t mind if you''re going to hit on her, but take a hint will you, moreover that''s my seat, hush." Slowly, Osval turned his gaze and saw Yuu as he brought another set of meal on his hand. Trying to figure out who the man was. "My, my, are you her friend? what''s your name?" Osval said with a cheerful smile. "Nope. Just an acquaintance. Besides, don''t you supposed to introduce yourself before asking for another person name?" Being a careful man, Osval introduced himself and after Yuu told his name with glittering eyes, Osval spoke. "Hey, hey. Yuu, do you know that Clorevica is a killer?" For several seconds, nothing happened. Yuu just blankly stared at Osval and with a flat voice, he spoke. "So? is that all? oh my god~ I sleep next to murderer~ oh~ I''m so surprised~ now fuck off from my seat." Hearing the strange insult from Yuu, after a few moments dumbfoundedly staring at him, Osval opened his mouth. "..Right, right. maybe I don''t speak it clear enough." This time, vein popped on Yuu''s forehead, his entire gaze glaring at him, without any hesitation, almost immediately he kicked him out of the chair. "...Maybe I''m the one that doesn''t speak clear enough. Fuck off from my seat." Said Yuu as he began to put his food into the table. Everyone was staring at them. This wasn''t a cheap inn. There was a big sign nailed to the wall. ''Do not fight in this inn.'' Yuu couldn''t read it though. But, before the inn guards able to stop the fight, a ring of fire shot up and it exploded into many of smaller ring of fire; all heading toward Yuu. It was his first time fighting since he got his first class, an excitement was building up right inside of his body. With a huge grin, Yuu leaped around the room, evading each and every ring of fire that chased after him while tapping the nearby person shoulder, stealing their Agility. In less than a minute, he successfully stealing 32 Agility from six persons. And less than a ten seconds, he stole 27 Agility away from three other people. Moving with a speed of 70feet/second in an instant was surreal. Not only that, without momentum, Yuu could jump for more than 8 meters, as he became more adaptable with his speed, he leaped right into Osval and kicking him right at his head, but his kick got blocked by Osval Physical Barrier. "Marvelous! Marvelous! You must be her accomplice right?!" Spoke Osval as he realized a crack on his barrier. After a small hesitation, as Yuu wondered what would happen if he used Steal: Strength and kicked Osval with a full power. It didn''t take long for Mio and Clorevica to realize the meaning behind Yuu expression, as they jumped next to him, blocking him from destroying the inn any further. As Yuu adrenaline slowly gone, he saw the inn owner''s face slowly turned red. "You three!!! Get out from my inn and don''t come back for forever!!!!" ****** Steal: Agility= Stealing 1d10 Agility from the target, Duration: 1hour.

May use it later (Max 4) Chapter 14 Having left the MoonSun Inn, the moons had already begun to reach its peak as the trio strolled their way inside the inn district. The inn district was not all that far from the marketplace. The surrounding inns were already lifeless with activity as people started to sleep and rest. The trio examined the surrounding buildings trying to find an empty inn. "Hey~ the handsome big bro and the beautiful sisters over there!" While they were restlessly looking around for an empty inn, a voice suddenly called out to them. Thinking it could only be themselves who were being called, they turned around to see a carrot, layered hair girl wearing a white apron over a black dress. She was probably three or four years younger than Yuu. "Do you mean us?" Yuu answered while trying not to raise his hope up. He couldn''t take any more disappointment when the one that called out to them was a brothel. "Yup! That''s right! Are you guys by any chance looking for an Inn?" As not to let a potential customer escaped, the girl clung into Yuu''s right arm. "Yeah right, we''re not looking for a brothel." Said Clorevica as she tried to shove the young girl away. "How rude! We are a real inn!" The girl gave Clorevica a cheerful answer. "U..um... then... we''d like to stay for a night." Replied Mio, though somehow she couldn''t help wonder why she glared toward the young girl. "Yay! Three guests are coming! Come here! Quick, quick!" The girl impatiently began pulling Yuu towards a nearby inn. It was a wooden two-story building. Just at a glance, they could tell the building had some age behind it. Upon entering, a counter greeted them with a door on the left leading to the dining hall and bar. Noisy voices could be heard from the other side of the door. Merry singing and loud quarrels, such noises indicated that the everyone inside was already drunk. "50 Copper coin for a night including dinner and breakfast." The girl stopped for a moment; and counting with her finger. "That means, for three persons it will be one Silver coin and 50 Copper coin. Hot water and a towel will be another 10 copper coin. The fee is to be paid in advance!" The girl cheerfully explained the rates while showing a smug face as she had just completed a multiplication. "Oi, do you guys want hot water and a towel?" Yuu asked his companions, in which they replied with a nod. "Then, three rooms and three hot water and towels, please." There was something very different about Yuu¡¯s tone of voice now, but only Mio noticed it. You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. Too excited about her new guests ."You guys aren''t staying in the three-person room?!" The girl said disappointedly, while holding a key in her hand. Even the most insensitive person could tell that they only had a three-person room left. "...Three-person room is fine and can you bring the hot water and the towels in the morning?" Yuu replied immediately and handed 1 silver and 80 copper coin. This time, even Clorevica realized something was wrong with Yuu''s attitude while Mio coldly glared at him. "Roger! Enjoy your night~! By the way, what¡¯s your name?" The girl asked Yuu in high spirits. Such an energetic child, Yuu thought. It was a refreshing sight, contrasted to the two of his companions. "I''m Yuu, the raptor leg girl is Mio and she is Clorevica." Somehow Yuu had become the spokesperson for his companions. "I''m Delice! Hope we can be a good friend!" Delice smile sweetly then she grabbed and pulled Yuu''s hand, directed them to their room. "Tada~ Here¡¯s your room. The toilet¡¯s over there. You can use the well outside as you like. Oh! lastly, here¡¯s the key. I recommend that you don¡¯t leave any valuables in the room though. Do you have any questions?" Her cheerful attitude made Yuu genuinely smile if only she is three years older. Yuu thought in his mind. But one thing that he didn''t realize was that the three girls staring at him with a dropping jaw. After a few moments later. "...*Gasp* Hey, Yuu! You should smile more often! Promise me you will smile more often!" Said Delice. "Ah! wait! that''s not what I mean! Anyway, if you guys need anything, feel free to ask! Come downstairs when you¡¯ve finished putting away your luggage. It''s already late but the dining hall is still open! Just go to the left door near the reception. Ah, and please... please don¡¯t get into any fights with other adventurers." Somehow she was able to say that in a single breath. "Oh, hey girl. What do you think about the adventurers that are always getting into a fight?" Said Clorevica. "They are really just idiots! To so easily be provoked! Ah! Sorry! I don''t mean it that way, you guys seem to be a nice person!" Delice answered Clorevica question. Hearing this a shadow cast over on Yuu''s face. "Hm~? What wrong Yuu~? Somethings wrong~?" Said Mio. "Yep, don''t worry about that. We are a nice person~ Right, Dork, oh I mean Yuu~ Ah~ I just can''t differentiate you two anymore~" Said Clorevica as she took the key from Delice hand and unlocked the door. Delice only tilted her head when she heard the girls. As she cheerfully walked back to the first floor, the Trio entered the room and put their luggage. "Geez, how many times do I need to say sorry? and it wasn''t my fault either. That guy just kept acting smug, ignoring my words and acting like I''m the idiot. Moreover, why only us that were getting kicked?" "Hm... Is that So? Because we were getting kicked....Yuu must be happy right? .... Meeting that girl." After Mio finished her sentence she completed it by sticking her tongue out. "....You know, this wouldn''t happen if you two just rejecting his offer or just told him that the seat is occupied." Still though that Osval was hitting on them. Yuu flicked Mio''s forehead until her head slight moved back. "Fueh!" Said Mio as she covered her forehead and turning her face away. "...Oi, let me touch it one more time." Said Yuu, even though Mio already changed her arm into a tiger arm, the difference in their Strength still too great. "Clo! Hold her arms down!" Said Yuu, feeling something interesting would happen, Clorevica followed Yuu''s order. As Yuu touched Mio''s forehead. "....Damn, this is a crazy fever." Chapter 15 "Um... I''m sorry." Albeit resting weakly on the bed, Mio couldn''t help but smile. Unlike her time on Earth, this time someone was accompanying her, not because of duty or money, they just accompanying her. "...What are you smiling for?" Said the rude and aggressive young man as he was carefully nursing Mio. While the quite and sarcastic wood elf, Clorevica was searching a fever potion. "Ehehe... nothing..." There were too many things going on today. First, they reached their first city. Second, not only they got a class, for Mio, she also got her leg. Third, even though they should be disbanding, they still travelling together. Fourth, Mio should be expecting this but knowing the fact that her friend was a murderer, really shocked her mind and body. Frantically, maybe this was the best time for Mio to talk about it. Now Mio was making a serious face. "U..um... Yuu, I''m not planning to talk behind Clorevica''s back, but... e..erm... it''s just I heard a gossip about her being a cold blood murderer." "So?" Yuu answered as Mio nervously watching him. After a few minutes of awkward silence. "U...urm...is that all? no reaction?!" Shrugging his shoulder, Yuu drained the wet towel and put it into her forehead. "Well, what do you expect? just go to sleep." "E..eh... you''re no fun." Though much to her surprise, as Yuu''s rough hand was gently wiping her forehead. A cheerful voice echoed from outside of the hall. "Ah! Clorevica~ What are you doing over there? Are they locking the door?" Just as Delice''s face began to show as the door slowly opened, Clorevica''s figure could be seen, standing right behind her back. "There you go~ Next time please be more careful~ ." Said Delice as she skipped her way to another room. Clorevica only walked through the door without saying a single word. "...Do I interrupting something?" Clorevica said as she threw a bottle of transparent blue liquid to Yuu. Raising Mio''s back and opening the cork, without even asking whether or not she would drink it by herself, Yuu nonchalantly poured the fever potion into her mouth. "Not really, just talking about you." Said Yuu. Hearing Yuu''s sentence, Mio coughed. Spilling the rest of the fever potion. "Oh, about what? and Mio, that potion is expensive." Clorevica spoke like she wasn''t bothered at all. "Eh, some gossip about you being a murderer or something like that." Replied Yuu. The wood elf only tilted her head. "...Is that all? Thought you have some new gossip about me." Said Clorevica, followed by a big yawn coming from her mouth. As Mio curiously looking at Clorevica. "E...erm...is that true?" She asked while covering half of her face in a blanket. Opening her boots and laying on the bed. "Yep." She answered.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. Yuu clearly showed he wasn''t interested in this topic, though Mio kept staring at her; dumbfoundedly. "Just create a bonfire and sit in a circle then I''ll tell you about my story." Said Clorevica. Though Yuu got another useless information about Epsilon, it seemed their bonfire tradition was the same as Earth. Soon, no one was interested in this topic and as they slowly feel into their own dream. ***** As the fourteen-year-old Clorevica, just recently became a Hunter. Near her leg, there were corpses of a Warrior dark elf and a Cleric dwarf, on her back there was a human Magician, breathing weakly while cowering in fear. And right on her face, there was a mass of tangled limbs along with a human Paladin. While the monster was devouring the Paladin, showing its soft spot. "C! Shoot it!" The Paladin commanded her. Choosing between the life of many other Adventurers or the life of one person. Clorevica chose the former. As she released her arrow, letting it pierced the Paladin chest along with the monster soft meat. This was her first killing. Her second was another tragic one, at 15, as she already had enough experience to lead her own party, her first party had been annihilated as they finished their fight with the Goritulla, the newbie on her team, another Archer, laying with a big hole on her stomach. "...Please... It''s hurt..." Couldn''t let her own companion to suffer more pain, slowly Clorevica slid her throat, only to find one minute later, that another group, full of Cleric and Paladin reached their destination. at 16, as she began living in the wilderness. She found a group of adventurers, eating more than they could chew. As she watched the group of adventurers slowly devoured by the group of Constrictor snakes. Too much for her to handle, the best action she could take was shooting the adventurers right in their head, ending their suffering. But unknowingly to her, one of them was survived, A Magician that recently became Pyromancer, hiding while watching from afar as Clorevica sniping all of his friends. ***** Under the summer sun, Yuu felt the warmth of those brilliant rays of light. As he was sleeping on the wooden floor, with a half-eaten watermelon laying right next to him. "Yuu, how long do you planning to keep lazying around?! your friend is here." As the familiar voice from his mother pierced through his ears, Yuu slowly awoke. Right in front of him, a big fat muscular almost bald guy, a foreigner with his slick black dreadlock hair, a medium build pink haired guy with his yellow sunglasses, and a pompadour haired guy that had seven pairs of the same jacket were looking at Yuu, with a shadow right on their faces. "Jeez... summer is almost over and we didn''t even go to the beach, not even once." Said the slick black dreadlock one. "*Sigh* If only someone didn''t force us to go to the mountain." Said the pink haired guy. "What?! don''t blame me! blame the TV! That place looks incredibly insane on that show!" Said the pompadour haired guy. Yuu, gathering his though and staring at his friends. "....So.... are you guys going all the way to my house just to say this?" Completely forgot about their plan. the big fat muscular guy spoke. "Told ya dat dis guy forgets about it." Scratching his head while remembering their plan. "....Fuck!! The blind date!" Yuu shouted as he ran into his room and changed his shirt. ******* As Mio slowly opened her eyes, she found a young woman, waving her hand towards her. "Hey~ Mio~ Come here~ Let''s talk." What happened? The last thing she could remember, she was sleeping with Yuu sitting right next to her side. And now, she was in a place where there was nothing except white. Though, she slowly walked toward the young woman.The young woman smiled and implored Mio to take a seat, Seat? Mio couldn''t find any seat as she looked around, and much to her surprise she realized her leg was in her normal human form. "Oops~ sorry, I forget!" The young woman clapped her hand, and all of the sudden, a tea table appeared, atop which were cups filled with tea and pillows to sit on along the sides. "C''mon take a seat." "E...erm...Thank you." When they had taken their seats, they took a sip of their tea. "U..urm...May I ask what happened?" "Hm, how should I put this. Right, first thing first, let me introduce myself. I''m Esma, You might not know this, but you win the today lottery~ Yay!!" "...Huh? I beg your pardon." Mio tilting her head and replying with a big question mark floating on her head. "Ah! Let me make this simple, you have won the lottery and gained the blessing from Goddes of luck, that''s me by the way!" As Esma clapped her hand, a light shone from behind of Mio''s chair,The light gradually grew stronger until it covered Mio''s vision. After that, the light swallowed Mio, when the light vanished, she was gone and so was Esma. Chapter 16 At the adventurer guild. Yuu wondered which quest he should take, as he squinted his eyes, trying to read the quest description. "C O L L E C T.. H O R N E D.. B O A R.. H O R N S.. R E W A R D: 2 S I L V E R.. F O R.. E A C H.. H O R N. Do I get that right?" Asked Yuu to Aurabelle. "Oh my.." Said Aurabelle as she covered her wide opened mouth with her hand. Being able to read Epsilon alphabet after they only spent 1 hour learning it was a big surprise for Aurabelle. Though, Yuu just smiled wryly at her. For a high school student like him, it was a disgrace because he needed to spell every single letter to be able to read it. On the other hand, after drinking the fever potion. Mio already became healthy as the sun arose. "Erm... Yuu, how about this one? Gather 1 kilogram of lush mushroom. Reward: 50 Cooper coin." and she easily read it like it was nothing. Uninterested in her suggestion, knowing that he could easily defeat the horned boar, Yuu decided to go on with horned boar quest, but "Yuu, that quest is for an E rank adventurers." Said Aurabelle as she blocked Yuu''s hand. From what Yuu learned, there were eight adventurer ranks. Starting from G rank to A. And in some cases, S rank only given to the selected people. "...But I already defeated many of those things." Yuu said while he shoved Aurabelle''s hand. A newbie like him was only allowed to take a G rank quest. No matter how much Yuu told her about it, even showing his status and level, albeit surprised Aurabelle kept rejecting his persuasion. "Yuu... please do me a favour~ I don''t want to get scolded again." Said Aurabelle. "So?" Yuu pushed Aurabelle''s face away from his sight. "How mean! Mio~ Help me~." Feeling helpless, Aurabelle turning her target to Mio, hoping she could knock some sense into Yuu''s head. "Seriously, you guys are taking a quest, not planning a marriage." Clorevica appeared and took some random quest for both of Yuu and Mio. "Girl, we''ll take this, see ya~." She continued without seeing Aurabelle''s face and dragged Yuu and Mio out from the guild. "Eh?! Ms Clorevica~ Wait! Whaaaa.... what should I do, I''m gonna get scolded again." Said Aurabelle. ***** Actually, the quest didn''t have a meaning. Their real purpose was testing Mio''s new skill. The one she got from Esma, one of the three main Gods. Following Clorevica suggestion, it was better for them to test her new skill in a place where people couldn''t see her. The first reason was for others safety. A blessing from a God/goddess wasn''t something they should underestimate. If things went wrong, many lives would fall.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Second, it was for Mio''s safety. There would be many people that would jealous with her blessing. Even Clorevica showed a little bit of jealousy when Mio told her about her new skill. Once they arrived at an empty ground. Yuu went looking for Mio''s potential target and a few moments later. "Oi! is this the one?" Said Yuu. He was holding a garlic, with the same size as a basketball, but this garlic had two eyes and its mouth was covered by a cloth. The garlic was trying to run away from Yuu''s grip, but its action was futile. "Can you do it a little bit longer next time? and Yup that is Gnarly Garlic, come Mio~." Said Clorevica as she pushed Mio with a big grin on her face. On the other hand, Mio''s face was full of gloominess, as her face became paler when she arrived right in front of Gnarly Garlic face. "E..erm...Yuu...I think my fever is coming again." Said Mio. "Eh, You looked healthy." As Yuu dropped the garlic and releasing its mouth gag, both of him and Clorevica running away as fast as they could. In an instant, Gnarly Garlic releasing a dark-greenish smoke from its mouth toward Mio and ran away. "Hoooekk!!" A breath that so stunk, enough to make Mio vomiting her breakfast and kneeling weakly on the ground. A few seconds later, Yuu and Clorevica with their mouth and nose covered heading toward Mio, on Yuu''s hand there was a leather bag, full of water and Clorevica brought another set of clothes. Still kneeling and coughing at the ground, "Don''t touch me!!!" Shouted Mio. Yuu and Clorevica stopped their movement when they heard Mio''s shout, it was the first time for both of them to hear her shouting in anger. "...Told you we should''ve used another monster." Said Yuu. "What? Now you blame me? I wonder who was the one that also agreed with my plan." Said Clorevica. Coughing in pain. "Ngrh! I hate both of you!!!" Taking a deep sigh, Yuu walked toward her and gently rubbed her back. "...So? Does it success?" Said Yuu, as Clorevica followed from his back. On the other hand, Mio was shoving Yuu''s hand away from her back as she still coughing in pain. "How about you consider a little bit of my feeling?!!" She shouted. Astonished, Yuu could only said "...Yes, yes... I''m sorry." As he handed her a bag of water. Right at this moment, Mio turned her head, with a d10 falling right behind on her back. "Ehehe~ Got you!" She said as she tried to hug Yuu, followed by a fume of greenish smoke flew out from her mouth. But right when Yuu saw the dice, He already leapt away, avoiding the stinky dark green smoke. As Mio''s target was gone, the smoke continuing its path and hitting Clorevica. But, she was used to the Gnarly Garlic Stink Breath, moreover with a mouth-cover on her face. "...Mio, do that again and I''ll make sure that you''ll wake up with a bald head." Said Clorevica as she coughed a little bit. "Eek!... I..I''m sorry! Yuu! You shouldn''t be avoiding that!!!" Yelled Mio. In the end, after changing their clothes and finishing their clothes. "Hey, Dork, Mio. Let''s train." Said Clorevica ***** Assimilate: When being hit by a monster Racial Skills, learnt the said skill.

He knew he couldn''t wing the fight, but there something inside of him yelling that he should try to fight her. "So, Dork is the one that coming first huh?" Said Clorevica. "You know, maybe you two should fight against me at the same time." She continued. "E..eh... No... I never fight against anyone else... truth is I don''t want to." Mio answered her, sitting next to a rock as she watched Yuu stretching his body. Without further confirmation, Yuu threw his chakram right at Clorevica''s head. Even though it wasn''t written, raising a Dexterity somewhat increasing Yuu''s accuracy and how well he used a weapon. It was an easy task for him to accurately throw something right at the place he wanted it. Still, that only accurate if the target wasn''t moving. At ease, Clorevica tilted her head; not a single hair became a victim of Yuu''s chakram. And that wasn''t his opening, using a Skill that his chakram had, Return. Like a super magnet, the one that he threw turned in the mid-air and headed toward the chakram on Yuu''s right hand. But Clorevica knew about that Skill. In a graceful manner, she shifted her body and let the chakram flew right in front of her face. Right at the moment after the first chakram flew past Clorevica, he then threw the other chakram to her. Completely abandoning his first chakram; letting it flew passed at him but now his hand was emptied, he loaded a bolt on his crossbow and shot it to Clorevica. All of Yuu''s action happened in less than two seconds. If he could do this back at the Earth, he must have already appeared on a talent show. Though, he was in Epsilon, where Status was everything. With 40 Agility and 45 Dexterity, Clorevica caught Yuu''s second chakram and used it to cut the bolt. "Crap!" Sensing a flow of air behind his back, Yuu crouched down. As the first chakram flew back to Clorevica. She whistled and said "Not bad~" Hurrying, Yuu''s grabbed his black and green daggers. With his torso bent forward and his head looking at her, Yuu ran like an anime ninja. Albeit stupid looking, with a pair of daggers in his hand moreover, his pose made him became a smaller target for Cloverica to shoot. But a pair of chakrams flying at him. Unable to turn his way, Yuu used the daggers to deflect the chakrams. As he did this, he didn''t have a choice but to stop for a moment. It was easy for him to attack while moving, but to block an attack while moving was another level of difficulties.Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. In an instant, an arrow flew past his cheek, creating a small cut. This wasn''t a miss, this was Clorevica way of saying ''You''re dead.'' Yuu thought in his mind that maybe he would have a better chance if he could steal Clorevica Agility. But, for him to be able to do that, he must directly touch her body. The battle didn''t even last for 5 seconds, although depressing, this was the best he could do. Right until this time, most of the monster Yuu fought didn''t have a speedy trait. They were all nothing but a bunch of walking meat. Cleaning the cut, Yuu silently went to Mio and said. "Hey, it''s your turn." "E..eh!!! N..no, no way I could do that!" Mio rejected that idea by wildly shaking her head. In her eyes, after she saw Yuu threw his first chakram and the next thing she knew the battle was over. "C''mon, you can run faster if you''re in your raptor form." Said Yuu, trying to raise her spirit as he sat right next to her. "B..but... I never hit someone before... and most of the time, my job was running. I... don''t think I can do it." Mio said with a pale face. What came at her was a deadly flick right at her forehead. "...Don''t lie, I remember you slapped me really hard on our first day. Not to mention the other hit when you''re annoyed." Rubbing her forehead with teary eyes and checking her Hit point. "Urgh... Yuu, you don''t need to flick me that hard, my Hit point is reduced by two." She protested. "Mio~ Are you going to fight from there?" Said Clorevica as she nocked an arrow and directed it to Mio. "Eeek!!... w..wait... I''m coming." Mio stood and walked with dropped shoulders. Bringing the javelin at her back and a boomerang on her hand. As both of the girls did a standoff. "E..erm... then here I come. Ei!" Mio threw the boomerang. Even though she managed to throw it and the boomerang was spinning, Clorevica was shaking her head when the direction wasn''t even flying toward her. "...Mio, I''m not even moving, but .. I''ll train you how to use that after this." Said Clorevica. Puffing her cheek in embarrassment "...I know.... and please..." After taking a deep breath. "Let''s do a melee combat." Said Clorevica as she threw her bow away. "....Yes..." As a dice falling down and showed 4. She turned into a raptor, though Yuu couldn''t help but wonder why her raptor form what was the requirement for the thing Mio could equip in her raptor form. "....G..Grrrraaaawr. (....H...here I come.)" Growled Mio, not like anyone else could understand her. In theory, she could run faster and also stronger than Clorevica. As she charged toward her, Clorevica only stood still, and like a gymnast master, she circled her slender hand on the raptor''s neck and pulled her body right onto raptor''s neck. Forcing it to lay down at the ground. As Mio turned back into her human form, dropping Clorevica to the ground, dice rolled and once again, she transformed into her raptor form. Oh... I thought she wanted to give up. Yuu thought on his mind when he saw quite an unique idea from the way Mio used her Skill. Once again, this time she charged in a real close combat but Clorevica did a windmill movement and kicked right at Mio''s chin. But, Mio was in her raptor form. Albeit her head was facing the sky, she moved her tail trying to hit Clorevica. And from Clorevica windmill position, using only her slender arms power, she did a backflip, moving away from Mio. Mio''s tail was hitting nothing but an empty air, and this time Clorevica charged toward her, kicking right in the middle of her neck. This time, Mio turned back into her human form. Coughing while holding her chin and throat. "*Cough* G..give up.. I give up. *Cough*" "Is that so? Then get your legs back, we''re going to throw some boomerang." Said Clorevica as she spent the rest of her day, doing a spartan training to Mio. While Yuu was doing his training all by himself, while sometimes killing the nearby monster. Chapter 18 The west district of Earthbury. It was where the rich and the high ranked of the population lived. While with 1 Silver coin, an adult could live a for around 3 days, in this district, 10 Silver coin was nothing more than a children pocket money. But from among of those people, dressed in fancy jewellery. From among them, there was several ''specialist'', offering their ''services'' to the government and nobles. The sun still shone brightly, and in front of Osval, there was two person with rowdy appearance; muscles as hard as a steel could be glimpsed, sitting inside of his fancy mansion, discussing something. "Clorevica the wood elf? Quin, let''s just leave." Said the pointy-eared elf woman. Albeit an elf, she had a big muscular muscle on her arm. "No, no, no. It''s not for her, what I want is her two little puppies." Said Osval with a friendly smile. "Do you mean those two new adventurers? The boy with a scar on his left arm and the shifter girl? what do you want from them?" Said, Quin, as his orange coloured full beard was moving up and down. Osval poured another drink for them, "Does it matter? Since when do you guys care about that?" "Hah, you get it wrong Mr Osval, what I mean is what do you ''want'' from them?" Said Quin. Osval speaking as he just realized something, "OH! Sorry, Sorry~ My bad, it''s been a while since I used your service, well, you guys are the expert, I''ll go with anything you say." Said Osval. "Hmph, then let''s go Ayda." Said Osval as both of he and Ayda left the mansion. As Osval already poured the amber coloured liquid for them. "Geez~ is it gonna kill them to accompany me for a while?" Finishing the drink, Osval cheerfully hummed. ****** Later at night. When they opened the door to the bar, they were met with the scent of alcohol and loud noises. A large majority of the room turned their gazes towards Clorevica. Hesitating on where to sit, Delice guided them to a counter seat. "I¡¯ll get your foods right away. Would you like a drink? Only the first cup is free, though. And what happened to your face Mio? Do you want a hot towel?" Asked Delice as she was curiously looking at Mio. Clorevica training wasn''t that hard and it was easy to remember, as a proof even before the sky turned orange Mio managed to throw her boomerang to her designated target, though the problem was she couldn''t catch the boomerang. And thanks to her bad luck, the boomerang always landed right on her face. "E..ehehe...thanks... umm... what kind of drink do you have?" Asked Mio. Since she just realized that she was the only one that never tried an alcohol, she wanted to try some.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. "Beer, wine, and mead, alcohol is only free for the first cup, though. Tea and milk are free afterwards." Said Delice as she listed the drinks. "I''ll have beer." Said Yuu, ordering the drink he had tasted before. "No ale? then Mead." Said Clorevica. Unsure of what she could get, Mio chose the different order from those two. "E..erm...Wine." Said Mio, looking smug. "Eeh? Are you sure Mio? You don''t seem to be the type that drinks alcohol though." Said Delice, though she still brought the drinks for those three. As Yuu drank the yellow coloured beer in a big wooden pitcher. "Man, this isn''t bad." Clorevica silently drank the white transparent mead in a wooden round glass. And Mio, following Yuu drank the purple coloured wine in a small wooden chalice. "..Blegh..." ".....Mio, don''t drink wine like that." Said Clorevica as she blankly stared at Mio. "Wah~ Mio really is a strong drinker." Said Delice as she was staring at Mio full of amazement. And then, as if on cue, three burly adventurers staring at them, or more like to the three girls, as Yuu noticed they were the only woman inside of this bar. Then they waddled to them. "Oi, oi, oi, oi, young man, aren''t you a little bit too greedy over here?" "That''s right~ shouldn''t you share a little bit with us?" "Hey missus~ Delice~ why don''t you playing with us?" Thinking that a beer would be completed with a cigarette, "Ah, I don''t mind." Yuu walked away, letting the three-man taking his position as he began to burn his cigarette. "Oi!!!!" But someone was yelling at him. It was loud enough to make the whole bar turned their faces to them. Moreover, it was a girly voice. "What do you think you are doing?! *Hic* suddenly leaving us like that!!" It was Mio, already drunk as her face turned bright red. Yuu''s jaw was wide open, dropping the cigarette he already put into his mouth when she saw her. "What''s up with that attitude?! *Hic* And aren''t you a little bit too young for smoking?!" Somehow Yuu felt familiar with her last sentence. "*Hic* Oi!! I''m talking to you!! *Hic* Aren''t you supposedly protecting me?!" As the whole bar became speechless while watching Mio spoke by herself. And Clorevica just gave a big grin. "Erm.. miss, maybe you should chill out a little bit." Said one of the drunkards as they suddenly became sobber. "*Hic* Chill out?! How can I chill out?! That guy already seeing me naked!!!" Mio said as she pointing her finger toward Yuu. Then tears slowly fell from the corner of her eyes. "*Hiks* Now no one will marry me... *Hic* And he didn''t even protect me from the drunkard?!" Yuu was standing still, unsure of what he should do as everyone else was glaring at him. "....Mio, your drunk..." Said Yuu. "*Hic* No! I''m not drunk! *Hic* Here! I''ll show you! Shift: Arms (Tiger)" As a dice rolling on her side, her slender arms slowly turned into big muscular tiger arms. Shifting her gaze and smiling at the three drunkards. "Wataaaa!!! *Hic*" She yelled as her paws connected to one of the drunkard''s face, throwing him away for a few meters. "John?! Oi I don''t care whether or not you''re a girl but that''s too far!!" Said one of the drunkards as he charged to Mio. Meanwhile, Yuu and Clorevica wanted to act, reducing the damage Mio had done. "Wataaaa!!!" This time, with her hairy monkey''s leg, although it was covered with her long leather pants, she kicked the one that charged at her. Three tooths were flying right out of his mouth. "Hey, hey Yuu~ Do you see that~? I can fight that mean I''m not drunk!! *Hic*" Then, as she grinned to the last drunkard and slowly walked to him. "O..oi! You two! Help me!" Begged the drunkard to Yuu and Clorevica. Though the luck was on that man side. As the duration of her Shift: Legs (Monkey) over, in an instant, she sank to the floor. "Fuee~? What happened to my leg? .... Hey, Yuu.... W..why can''t I move my leg?" Mio said as the tears began flowing on her cheek. Don''t call my name!! He thought in his mind. Though as he scratching his head, giving up on their dinner. Yuu silently walked toward her and carried her away. "....Sorry... I''ll make sure not to give her another alcohol." He said as he bowed to the other guest, didn''t want to get kicked out again. While all of this happened, Delice was hiding under the bar, shivering. "...Alcohol is scary..." Chapter 19 As the sun arose. The chickens clucking around, the merchants opening their vendors, and a guard flying from the door. "Geez, I already say I can go by myself." Said Yuu as he the surrounding guard letting his arms go. Last night, after he was putting Mio to bed. The three drunkard that tried to hit on her and Clorevica was found dead right in a dark alley, and there was a suspect telling that Yuu was the culprit. Albeit annoyed, after a little resistance, he decided to go with them after knowing that they had threatened Delice''s inn. "But! That''s impossible! I was playing card with him and Clorevica la- Hmph!!" Shouted Delice, as Clorevica and her mother capped her mouth, signalling her not to stick her nose in. And seemed like in the single night, there was a gossip spreading around that Yuu was killing those three because of jealousy. "Is this the guy?" Asked one of the guards to the skinny suspect. "Yes! A black long hair with a big scar on his arm. There''s no doubt about it." Said the suspect. Pointing his finger right into Yuu''s face. Annoyed, Yuu answering him by grabbing his clothes. "Hah?! I don''t even know who you are." "Eeek! Help! He''s gonna kill me!" Said the suspect, with his B-rated movie act. Seeing this one of the guards moving at him and punched him right into his stomach, not like it did a damage to him, but at the very least knowing that his action would only worsen the situation, Yuu threw the suspect. People began to gather, whispering while watching this commotion. And Mio, with her ''experience'' after watching many detectives anime and crimes novel, acting like she was the protagonist. Stepping onto the scene while scratching her red face. "E..erm...Mr suspect, I''m sorry... but did you really see Yuu doing that?" "Of course I do, he single-handedly killed those three. Hmph! I know it there''s no way that wood elf would bring someone decent." Said the suspect. Nodding lightly, and this time scratching her arms. "E..erm...then...can you explain how Yuu killed them? like the weapon or the weapon?" Startled for a little bit. "Does it matter? It was too dark, I couldn''t see the process." Said the suspect. This time, as she was scratching her neck. "Is that so... th.. then! how can you be so sure that he is the killer?" Asked Mio. "As I said, I saw a long black haired man with a big scar on his left arm." As he finished his sentence, Mio smiled. "But it was dark right? how can you be so sure that your eyes weren''t wrong?" Completely absorbed with her role, she had a smug face while touching her chin and nodding around.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. "Gh!.. that... that doesn''t matter! I saw him killing them." Sweats fell from the suspect forehead as he said this. "Hee~ even though you said it was too dark until you couldn''t see the whole process but aren''t you a little bit too detailed about Yuu appearances? Moreover why Yuu? there were several others adventurers with a black long hair and a scar on their left arm right? And the fact that it was dark, shouldn''t you unable to differentiate the hair colour? especially a scar... but... isn''t that weird? not only you saw Yuu doing that, but you also know about the inn he stays, and why waited until now? why didn''t you telling the guard last night? it''s not like they should search again right? doesn''t this seem like you are trying to frame Yuu?" Yuu and Clorevica weren''t able to close their mouth as they completely amazed by how Mio overwhelmed the said suspect with words, moreover not a single stutter and she said all of that in a single breath. And as the audience nodding at her word, while some of the guards were glaring at her. Though if there weren''t that many spectators, they could use brute force and tried to take Yuu away, but with these many citizens watching them. They had a pride they should have kept. "...The girl is making sense." Said the guard captain. Even though uncoordinated, but Mio knew enough that Yuu wouldn''t go away without a resistance, and as the spectator had been gathered, she started her deduction. Not the best one like the one she read on detective novels, but that was good enough to make everyone believed her. Slowly the guards left the scene, followed by the surrounding people. As the suspect tried to blend in, running away from Yuu. Yuu at ease sneaked to his back, grabbing his shoulder with a very big grin on his face. "Oi! Who gives you the permission to leave?" The suspect turned around and said "O..oh... now that I am looking at your face, the one I saw last night did have a very big scar on his face." "...Is that so~?" Flipping his switch dagger out and pointing it at the suspect face. "Just how big his scar is?" Said Yuu while he was tapping the dagger right at the suspect face. "E..ekk!! Hey! Someone help me!!" Shouted the suspect, though this time the guards were ignoring him. In fact, everybody was ignoring him. Thinking he reaped what he sowed. Only smiling at him, Yuu said. "Oi! Leave your wallet and take off your clothes, maybe~ just maybe~ I''ll let you go unharmed." Though, Mio stopping his action. In the end after pillaging all of his money as a payment for slandering Yuu, after giving him a good beating. Soon enough, the suspect was kneeling on the ground with an unrecognizable face. "So... why are you framing me? do you have a grudge against me?" Yuu said while crackling his finger. "Ai.. Aih chanhot telh yuh zat. (I cannot tell you that.)" Said the suspect as he was unable to speak clearly with his swollen face. "Plz jus kill meh! (Please! Just kill me!)" He continued. Tilting his head in confusion, Yuu only brought him into a dark alley, less than three minutes, he walked out with a vein popped up on his temple while dragging the suspect with him. "He only said something about Quin or something like that." Yuu reported to Mio and Clorevica as he threw the suspect away. Clorevica, reacted a little bit when she heard that name. "E..erm.. do you know about this Quin?" Mio Said as she was scratching the back of her neck. "Eh... just your ordinary untouchable assassin." Said Clorevica. "W..wha? Why assassin?! Y..Yuu!! Did you do something bad?! Speaking of which! Yuu!! Why is my body became so itchy?!" Asked Mio. "....Mio, as far as I know, the three of us always walk together, moreover none of you guys ever letting me strolling alone... Ah! There''s that damn deaf person though, you know... the one in MoonSun Inn, by the way, stop scratching that. That''s an alcohol allergy." Said Yuu while he grasped Mio''s hand, stopping her from scratching her body.
