《The system games (6)》
Chapter 1 The system
Loki realized as soon as he fell asleep that he was standing in a dark place. It''s so dark that one couldn''t even see his own hands or anything else. He kept walking slowly while he put his hands in front of him while touching the air just so he won''t hit his face if he came into an object or something and then it heads his head.
After what felt like 12 hours of walking in the dark his hands finally touched something, it was so smooth yet soft and flat, it clearly was a wall but he couldn"t see it since it was still so dark
Click!!!
He clearly felt something just now and it make a clicking sound most likely a button. Then suddenly in front of him a bright light hit his face, he covered his eyes with his hands while looking the other way. since it was so dark and to be hit by a bright light all of a sudden would make anyone go blind.
After a few minutes of rubbing his eyes he slowly turned to face the white light, and slowly getting accustomed to it.
All he could see is that there was a huge white light formed like a huge door on the wall.
He decided to take this chance and step into this white light. It was better than walking in the darkness, who knows hat he might encounter if he kept walking in the dark. And besides it was scary and lonely.
After entering the white light he was standing in the middle of a forest. The view was beautiful, it looked like it came out of a picture. The trees were green and big, the sun was shining
He stopped admiring the scene as he recalled the white light. He turned back and there wasn''t anything behind him. The light vanished as if it has never existed in the first place
Not knowing what to do, just when he was about to yell to see if anyone was there.
Ding!!!
He heard a Ding sound coming from his pocket. He took out what looked like a phone, it wasn''t his phone in fact this phone looked more expensive and better than his old phone. Even though it looked like an iPhone, the logo sign wasn''t on it. And it clearly looked more high tech than any iPhone on the store.
The screen showed an message from an ''unknown user''
"Hello user 1751. Welcome to the system games. I will get straight to the point. You are no longer living the peaceful life you''ve always lived. because as of now you will fight to live. So you better get used to it because this is your new home. Any questions"
"....."
"I see it''s all a nightmare because in a few seconds I will wake up in my room. After all this stuff only happens in light novels and manga"
Loki chuckled
Ding!!!
"User 1751 I can clearly assure you that this is no dream and you will not be able to go back to your world. because you decided to join the system games remember."
After reading the mesage Loki pinched his cheek to make sure this wasn''t a dream. And there was pain, but just to make sure he pinched himself again and again everytime harder than the last time, hoping that it will wake him up from this nightmare. Loki pinched himself so much that you could see a red mark from his cheek
"OH HELL NO why did you bring me here this is clearly a lie, this stuff only happens to people in fiction stories now get me out of here"This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Loki was screaming, yelling, running around like crazy also hitting the trees and even digging the dirt with his bare hands to see if there was an exit.
Ding!!!
"user 1751 I am sorry to tell you but this is not a ''fiction story'' we brought you because you wanted to come here for a long time so just relax and chill"
After Loki read the message, and he did calm a little but he still was very scared and confused.
"I didn''t want to come here, I just walked through a white light because I didn''t want to be in the dark anymore"
Ding!!!
"User 1751 you''ve always wanted a way out of reality because you would always say ''it''s so boring I wish something happens to me like in the light novel stories and it I would be teleported away from this world'' and everyday for years and years you would say the same thing over and over again. And now you got what you''ve wished for. So I would recommend getting used to this world as you are gonna be living here from now on"
Loki got a huge slap on the face from reading this message. It''s true that he would always say ''it''s so boring I wished something would happen to me like in the light novels'' and he just said those same words earlier. so he got a huge slap on the face and with the pain earlier from his pinching it felt really painful
After rubbing his cheek for a while he realized that indeed his wish had been fulfilled. After all the real world can be boring compared to the fiction world
after he calmed down he asked his Phone "can i ask some questions about this world since I don''t know anything"
Ding!!!
"yes but I can only answer the basic stuff of this world'' because as you grow stonger and explore this world. you will find the answers for your questions"
"okay then where am I and what should I do in this world"
DIng!!!
"you are in another world far way from Earth. You will struggle to survive this world as you will need to fight for your life everyday. What i recommend you is to grow stonger and level up your system. Your phone should have an app that tells you your strengths, levels, etc"
"what should I do to get stronger"
DIng!!!
"would you like to know the guide to your powers and this world, it would be much faster than asking a bunch of useless random questions"
Even though Loki knew the messges were being a bit irritating, he decided to suck it up and agree
"sure"
Ding!!!
"you have a system called ''the phone system'' you live in a world where cultivation does exist. As well as mythical creatues and such. And that''s about as much as I can say about your powers and this world, the rest you will have to figure it out yourself"
Loki still needed some answers and he said
"can I at least know where the nearest town or city is"
DIng!!!
"what am I a map, figure it out yourself"
"......''
Loki knew it was useless to ask anything else, he examined his phone and when he clicked the home button and he saw two apps
One of them is called [map] and the other is called [user 1751]
Loki checked the [map] button and all the showed was a black screen. Only the part where his location is, had a bit of colour. He clicked the place where he was and apparently he needs to explore 10% of the map before he can information about this place
He clicked the [user 1751] button, and he saw an avatar of himself wearing the exact same clothes that he''s wearing right now. And on the right side of the screen he saw two other buttons
He clicked on one and a message appeared
Ding!!!
{Phone system}
[you have the phone system, your phone will never run out of battery and it will never break. And it will never get lost, even if you lose it, it will magically return to you. It can do a lot of stuff you can''t even imagine but you''ll need to figure it out yourself"
Loki was shocked to see this aesome ability he looked so happy that it looked like he was just confessed by a girl he likes. But the bad news is that he needs to figure out is how to use the phone system by himself. This brought his joyous mood down a lot, because he clearly knows nothing abouy the phones systems powers. But anyways he clicked the second ability he had
{Flash}
{Blinds enemies with your phones flashlight for 10 seconds}
Loki had a complicated look on his face because he has seen in animes that some fighters don''t always rely on there eyes to fight. Some rely on their hearing, smell, sense but it was still a useful ability for him, since he''s a newb he needed all the abilities he can get
He then ''unknown user''
"is it possible to make my system stronger"
Ding!!!
"yes"
"Then how do I make it stronger"
Ding!!!
"There are a lot of ways to level up a system, but your system is a bit unique so I recommend going to the system world"
"System world? what is that place"
Ding!!!
"user 1751 system''s level is only level one, your system needs to reach level 2 to get to the system world."
"okay then how am I supposed to go to the system world when I don''t even have a clue to levelling up my system"
DIng!!!
"figure it out yourself"
"......"
chapter 2 Gentle forest
Loki had checked his phone, and he had discovered more apps but they were locked, he probably needed to be a higher level to unlock them. On the top left corner on his screen he saw a {Spirit level 1} This showed his current level. although he doesn''t know what {Spirit} means. it must be a cultivation level name
Loki had to go to the nearest city and find ways to get stronger, after all in the cultivation world only the strong live, while the weak die.
But then he noticed that there wasn''t anything living here, you couldn''t even hear a bird chirp. Aside from the strong winds hitting the leaves, you couldn''t hear anything else
Loki thought
''this is weird there should be animals living here''
Loki had a bad feeling about this, he wanted to get out of this forest but it was to big to escape, Loki had no idea where to go. And ''unknown user'' wasn''t gonna help him at all.
After carefully thinking Loki had a couple of ideas
1. Stay and wait for help but possibly die from starving
2. Use this opportunity and use the [Map] app on his phone, and have a higher chance of escaping this forest. But also have a higher chance of encountering something dangerous on the way
Loki only had only two choices. The first one was easier as he could stay here and hide from anything dangerous, but Loki didn''t know if help was ever gonna arrive. Nobody even knew that Loki is in this forest.
The second one was more dangerous but it also raised his chances on escaping this forest. He was especially afraid because if there is something living here that could make all the living things in this forest disappear, then that thing could easily kill Loki.
Loki went with the second option. He opened his {Map] app and he only had explored 0% of this place. And thus started walking in a random direction
2 hours later
After 2 hours of walking non-stop Loki only had only managed to explore 3% of this forest, but for some reason he felt a bit tired. He didn''t walk fast or run but for some reason he was tired. ''it must be the sun'' Loki thought. He still kept walking without taking a break, after all the [Map] app could potentially save his life
4 hours later
After walking for another 4 hours he felt extremely tired, it felt like he was walking through a hot dessert for days. And he only managed to clear 9%, right now all he wanted was water but he didn''t have anything on him. Not only that but there wasn''t any fruit growing on the trees, even if there was fruit frowing out of the trees he wouldn''t be able to reach them because the trees are at least 50 meters high.
Loki didn''t stop at all to take a break and just kept walking hoping to get that 1%. If he could get it then he might be able to escape from this hell hole.
Ding!!!
Loki heard a familiar sound and looked at his phone
"You have explored 10% of this area, You are now able to check information about this place"
Loki''s fatique disappeared and he immediately clicked on the place he was currently in
"You have explored 10% of Gentle Forest. Gentle Forest is known for not having any life residing here because of the soil. It has a special type of poison that absorbs energy from living things, it is estimated that an ordinary person can last for 7-8 hours before the soil can fully absorb a persons vitality. It is said that a million years ago a huge alien crashed into this forest, it trampled and killed anything that lived here. Fortunately a group of elites managed to kill the monster but they didn''t expect the blood from the beast to be absorbed by the soil. After the soil managed to fully absorb the blood from the alien it had gained terrible ability to absorb a living things energy upon contact. Even the trees have longed since adapted to this power as well, ever since that day this area has been off limits. Only the brave and stupid ever break into this place"The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Loki didn''t read anything after it said that he will die in 7-8 hours, he then yelled angrily at the phone
"Hey why the hell did you sent me to this god forsaken place. I only have about 2 hours to live, get me out of here quick"
Ding!!!
"User 1751 it is your bad luck for ending up in this place, if you hadn''t chosen to enter the white light in the first place then you might have found a better or worse place than this. And I am not able to get you out of here, I am only here to answer some of your questions"
"then tell me how to I get out of here"
"like I said I am not your tour guide, try figuring it out yourself, Oh I almost forgot to mention, if you die here you will die for real so best of luck to you User 1751"
Loki was so mad that he threw the phone away, then the phone came back like a boomerang and hit the back of Loki''s head knocking Loki to the ground and giving him a huge bump on his head
"Is this how the phone magically returns to me, like a boomerang, are you serious"
He rubbed the place where his phone hit him, and he could clearly feel a huge bump on this head
"dammit how can my luck be so bad, aren''t I the main character of this story. I should have been teleported near a god like treasure and become OP already, or have a super powerful unique spell that will give me the power to dominate the heavens. And instead all i got was a huge bump on my head and 2 hours left to live"
Loki was crying from his misfortune and worst of all this ''unknown user'' wasn''t gonna help him even though he knows that Loki was already at deaths door
Loki remained on the floor he was to tired to stand up, and even if he did stand up the poison from the soil will continue to drain his vitality
Loki grabbed his phone to see if there was anything here that could protect him.
Loki held the home button for to long and his screen showed 50 boxes, 49 of them had the words ''empty'' on them, but one looked a lot like a christmas present. It was a yellow box with a red ribbon tied to it. He clicked on the present
Ding!!!
"User has opened a gift from the systems team, according to them they must give you an item to protect yourself when you begin your new life"
{Noobs Dagger}: This dagger isn''t meant for fighting, it has really good durability but it''s sharpness can barely cut butter
{special ability}: It can make a small fire only 3 times. After you have used it''s ability then the dagger will break apart
Loki was furious again and he wanted to throw this dagger, he hesitated because after thinking when he threw his phone, he decided to let it stay inside his phone and he continued to lie there. He didn''t want to walk anymore because with all this bad luck happening to him he felt that if he continued to walk he still won''t be able to get out of this forest before the poison kills him.
Loki was already tired that his eyes were starting to close, but he didn''t resist and just continued to lie there.
"Before I die, can you please tell my family that I love them"
Ding!!!
"Even if you didn''t ask, the system team will have done that, and also they would have given your family money to live a better life"
"Thanks I just wished I could''ve lived a longer live, but never did I expect to die in another world so quickly"
Ding!!!
"If you don''t want to die then I would suggest to avoid contact with the soil"
Loki was a bit confused by this question
"what do you mean"
DIng!!!
"The poison will only continue to drain your vitality as long you continue to touch it"
When Loki read this message all the laziness that was wearing him down just now disappeared
"wait so if I were to use my clothes to avoid the contact with the soil, will the posion stop draining my vitality"
Ding!!!
"NO it had just rained a couple of hours ago before you arrived, so the soil will continue to exhume the poison. Meaning that if you keep breathing it it will also continue to drain your vitality"
Loki had a serious look on his face while thinking of a way to avoid the poison,
"what if I were to burn this forest, will that work"
DIng!!!
"No this forest also has the ability to drain energy from fire as well"
"Then what if I were to cut the trees roots, will the posion from the tree disappear"
DIng!!!
"Yes but it will need ten years before the poison fades away"
"Dammit"
He thought that at least one of his two plans of his would work, but turns out none were good. He kept looking at the huge tree in front of him, then he thought of another idea
"If I were to climb this tree all the way, then would the poisons aroma still affect me"
DIng!!!
"If User 1751 has climbed to the top of the tree then the poisons aroma won''t be able to reach you but if you continue to physically touch the tree. Then the poison will continue draining your vitality"
"Okay one last question, if I were to use my clothes as a mattress on the tree and avoid physically touching the tree. Will the poisons effect keep draining my vitality"
"No the poisons effect won''t be able to keep draining your vitality."
chapter 3 Title at the end
Now knowing that Loki actually had a chance to survive he started to climb that 50 meter tall tree with all his might.
10 minutes later
Loki was already tired from the poisons effect earlier, so climbing a tree is would make him even more tired than he already was and it would also affect his climbing speed. He had managed to climb only 7 meters this was barely enough to keep him away from the poisons aroma
Loki is currently lying on a really thick branch, it is actually so resistant that is it able to hold Loki''s weight without showing any signs of breaking. He took a minute break and attempted to climb again but this time it was much easier, because he was now using the {Noobs Dagger} which surprisingly had good durability that it could even support his body weight and lifting him up as well.
30 minutes later
He had only managed to climb up 24 meters, he had only managed to get this far because of the dagger, it actually helped Loki increase his climbing speed. In fact he could already feel the poison weakening but unfortunately the tree also had the ability to absorb Loki''s vitality as well. Loki''s skin was changing into a gray colour this is a secondary effect from the poison, it means that the poison has almost fully absorbed the energy from Loki
Using his energy to climb this tree actually speeds the poisons effect, this means that Loki could die sooner than he thought. Loki still took a few minutes of break lying on this durable branches, it might not be a wise move to keep wasting time but if he were to keep going non stop then his arms might slip and he will fall. Although this height might not kill him, but if he were to restart from the beginning then he won''t have enough time to climb the whole tree.
50 minutes later
Loki had barely managed to climb to the top of the tree, right now he was loudly gasping for air, his throat was extremely dry and his hands had gone numb from the climbing. Even his whole body had started turning gray. But that still wasn''t the end, right now he needs to use his clothes and lie on them so he won''t contact the poison anymore.
He quickly took off his clothes and even his underwear wasn''t an exception, he set them down and lied on them
And it actually worked, He could already feel his energy coming to him. Even his body that was gray earlier had also started to change back to it''s original colour. Loki couldn''t take it anymore and fell unconscious,
DIng!!!
After quite some time had passed Loki finally woke up to a familiar sound
"Gongratulation User 1751, you have managed to barely pass the test. You will be teleported to a safe zone in a few moments. So please stay calm and don''t move"
When Loki read this he felt that he was struck by lightning and almost fell from the tree from the huge shock he recievedLove what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
"What the hell I almost died and you could have teleported me to a safe zone all this time, did you really enjoy watching me suffer so much, is that why you didn''t help me, come here and face me like a man and I will beat you death"
Ding!!!
"Like I said, it was your bad luck that got you here. Also this mission was never about you escaping Gentle Forest, it was all about how you would avoid death. And also if I were to help you, I would have recieved the death penalty, and did you really think that we would have let you died. The moment you would almost die is the moment I would have teleported you back home safely and you would have thought that this was all just a bad dream. Now shut up and stop moving"
"....."
Loki didn''t know how to respond to that. Soon a blue light surrounded Loki and he disappeared, the only thing that was left was his clothes that he used to protect himself from the trees poison
Loki was now in a room that looked so futuristic, but the first thing Loki saw were 3 individuals. One looked like a 2-3 meter tall giant. and it looked like his body was made out of stone, not only that but he was wearing a white scientists coat. The other two looked more like humans except that they are connected, literally these two are actually conjoined twins, they are both connected from the hips and legs.
It was a little bit of a shock to Loki, but he got used to it fast. Especially after what he''s been through, this scene was like heaven compared to Gentle Forest,
Grumble!!!
Loki''s stomach let out a huge rumbling noise, He is very hungry and thirsty, his throat was so dry that it would even hurt just by talking. And he was so hungry that he could feel his stomach acids trying to eat his stomach.
Soon after the giant offered Loki a tray of food, the food actually smelled good and Loki stuffed the food in his mouth like a pig. He didn''t care if he looked like a pig all he wanted to do was eat something. Of course climbing a 50 meter tall tree and almost dying, would make anybody go hungry.
After eating everything and not leaving a single grain of rice, he was satisfied. He turned to the giant and said
"Who are you and wher_"
The giant interrupted him by waving his hand and said
"I am not allowed to talk to you, all I can say is that your suprervisor will be here in a few moments so sit still and wait"
Loki understood and just stood there and waited for his supervisor ''wait am i naked'' Loki forgot that he just used his clothes to avoid contacting the poison from the tree. And for some reason Loki was actually fully dressed. It wasn''t his clothes but it was just plain white clothes.
"sigh" seeing that he wasn''t naked he let out a sigh of relieve
A few seconds later a normal looking guy came inside the room, he was tall and he has short black pointy hair, and for some reason he kept looking at Loki sizing him up then he took out a notebook and wrote something. Loki was confused by this guys actions but Loki continued to sit there.
"Loki Luz" (Author: ''Luz'' is Loki''s last name)
The guy said Loki''s name with a serious face while he kept writing at his notebook
"Yes that''s me"
"follow me"
Loki got up and followed the weird guy
After a few minutes of walking, they stopped in the front of a metal door, it had the number ''21'' on top. The metal door then opened automatically. It was a medium sized room, it looked pretty normal
The weird guy sat on a couch while writing on his notebook
"Loki Luz gongratulations on passing the test. You are now to true owner of the phone system, if you have any questions let me know tomorrow. Because tomorrow your new life begins"
He took out aa small red booklet with the title ''the basic guide through the new world for dummies'' and gave it to Loki
"This book will give you a brief explenation of what you''ll be facing tomorrow and possibly for the rest of your life. Read it, and have a good rest"
The weird guy left the room while he kept writing on that booklet.
"..."
Chapter 3 Making it out alive
chapter 4 The new beginning
Loki read the book cover to cover, he will be going to a place called ''Jay city.'' This place is filled with cultivators that could split mountains and possible destroy the heavens. Loki also had to abide by 10 rules given by the systems team.
1. Never reveal anything related to the system to others, or you will be killed
2. Don''t kill contestants, unless the both of you have agreed to a death match.
3. You cannot steal from other contestants, or the systems team will confiscate your stuff
4. You cannot cheat contestants (think of it as going back on an agreement or something)
5. If you die in this world, you die for real
6. Your supervisors will monitor you at all times, They are not allowed to help you physically, remember they are only there to answer your questions and to monitor you. And guide you through your system.
7. You cannot get rid off your system.
8. You are allowed to kill non-contestants, but they can also kill you.
9 You can trade anything you want, even your own life. This does not include your system
10. You are not restricted to anything else besides these rules
To be honest Loki was actually looking forward to this new world, he had always dreamed of being a human cultivator with a system. What worried Loki the most is that he is not the only one with a system, indeed there are more people that have systems like Loki.
There are about 2000-3000 contestants that have systems, for example, there is another person that has a fire system. Which he can create and manipulate fire at will.
The ''non-contestants'' that were mentioned in the rulebook, are the are people in the new world that don''t have systems. Kinda like those CPU''s in video games. However don''t under estimate them, they could be very dangerous if you''re not careful enough.
After Loki finished reading the book, he lied down on the bed and immediately fell asleep. Even though Loki has rested earlier, he only slept for 2 hours. And besides it was very uncomfortable and cold on that huge tree, especially since he was naked.
Loki woke up by the sudden urge to pee, after relieving himself on the bathroom, he checked his phone. He had slept for more than 13 hours, which was good enough.
He then ate breakfast, which was brought by a robot maid.
Beep!!!
The beep sound came from the speakers, that were installed on the rooms and hallways.
"Loki Luz please check with your instructor at room 223 in 1 hour"
"Loki Luz please check with your instructor at room 223 in 1 hour, thank you"
The voice came from a women, that told him to meet that weird guy. So he took a fast shower and changed into new clothes that he got from his closet. And then proceeded to meet his supervisor.
Loki took 40 minutes to get to his supervisors room, he took so much time to get there because he was lost in this maze. Luckily he made it on time thanks to some robot butlers and maids who pointed the way to Loki.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Dang!!! Dang!!! Dang!!!
Loki knocked three times on the metal door, which then opened automatically. He walked inside the room and the first thing he saw was the weird guy, he was working on a machine. The machine looked a lot like the one he came out when he first came here, Loki could tell that this was another teleportation device.
"You only have 20 minutes before you leave, in the meantime just wait"
The weird guy said
"Can I ask something"
Loki said
"fine, ask away"
"what is the point of all this, I mean what is that point of having a bunch of people owning system powers in the first place''''
Loki knew he would never get the answer for this question, but it never hurt to ask
"I''m afraid that even I don''t know the answer to your question, the only one who knows is the master"
The weird guy continued to work on his machine, without even looking at Loki
"who''s the master"
"He''s the one who gave you your system powers, He is also the boss of this place. That''s everything I know about him"
''''Then, what''s your name"
Loki asked
"I am not obligated to tell you, all you have to know is that I''m your supervisor"
Loki couldn''t think of anything else and just sat there and played with his phone
20 minutes later
The weird guy stopped working on the machine, he wiped the sweat from his forehead wiht his sleeve and said to Loki
"Okay Loki, once you step into this machine it''ll teleport you to another world. Remember in this world only the strong survive, while the weak die. So get strong as fast as possible, and good luck to you Loki Luz"
Loki nodded to the weird guy and stepped into the device, it looked the a huge glass cylinder that was standing upright. Loki then entered the cylinder shaped device and he was immediately teleported to another place.
Jay City
Loki arrived at Jay city, he was teleported in a very ugly house that looked like it was about to fall down any time soon, but the inside was much worse. The first thing Loki saw was a bunch of corpses from cockraoches that were in the floor, some were even alive and tried to get into Loki''s pants.
Loki hated bugs most of all, and then quickly ran out the door. He had stepped on so many corpses of cockroaches on the way, that it almost sounded like he was stepping on a puddle of water, but he ignored it and kept running towards the door.
when Loki exited the building, the first thing he saw were huge building, but these didn''t look like ordinary buildings. They were actually levitating, that''s not the only thing that shocked Loki. It was also the vehicles that people had, the vehicles were also floating, and not only that but some people were riding monsters, some looked like ants and others looked like giant red pigeons.
There are so many other creatures, but Loki couldn''t recognize most of them. When Loki read the book, it never mentioned giant creatures and futuristic vehicles and buildings, Loki thought at first that he world be teleported to an era where people still used horses as a form of transportation, and still used sitck and stones to fight (Basically the dark ages)
Ding!!!
Loki heard a familiar sound, and he checked his phone.
"Hello User 1751, you have been successfully teleported to Jay City. You will be given a new identity for this world, Here is your new identity, you may choose a new name or keep your old name"
Name: Loki
Last name: Luz
Middle name; N/A
Age: 19
Date of birth: April 1st 2980
Born in: Jay City
Parents/guardians: DEAD
Loki decided to stick with his old name
Ding!!!
"Everything is now set, enjoy your new life Luki Luz"
Loki was very happy to be alive, he had always dreamed of the day, when he would be teleported to another world. Even though he might get killed in this world, it was much better than living on earth
The first thing he needed right now was money, because money was always a good way to get stronger, as he could by weapons, armor, cultivation techniques, etc. But right now he only had 100 cyo*
So Loki made up a plan
1st get money
2nd get as much information about this world
3rd Become stronger than anyone else
He needed information as well, because learning about this world will without a doubt increase his chances at surviving.
And starting from today, was the beginning of Loki''s adventure
(authors note: Cyo is the currency name for this world)
Chapter 5 Pain, regrets, and now this
It''s been about a month since Loki started his new life in this world, but after five minutes when Loki started his adventure he immediately started regretting it.
At first Loki had an idea to solve his money problems by joining a guild. He learned that when someone successfully joins a guild they would be awarded 500 cyo. When Loki heard this he immediately applied for the first guild he saw, which was the Warrior''s guild, but they quickly rejected Loki because his cutivation level was very low as well as his potential.
Loki didn''t expect the guild to posses a machine that can tell a persons potential, and Loki''s potential was infact the lowest they had ever seen in their lives. They laughed at Loki''s potential then proceeded to throw him off the guilds building.
Loki also had a bit of doubt that he was gonna join the warrior''s guild, but he was desperate for money. Then he applied for the Hunters guild and came out with the same results.
it was the same result for 5 other guilds that Loki apllied for, Loki almost cried after that, he needed to live in this place for the rest of his live and he only had 100 Cyo in his possesion
(100 Cyo has the same value as 100 canadian dollars)
He realized that it was pointless to join another guild as he would only be wasting his time, he then traveled a bit further into the city and apllied for a job as a waiter in a bar. Good thing you don''t need to have any potential as a waiter or Loki probably would''ve have been rejected as well.
He found the job thanks to his ''Map'' app that he was using earlier, Loki took the advantage earlier and used his Map app to travel the city. Loki was also very curious to see what would happen if he were to travel 100% of the city, and right now he had travelled 15% of the city.
And back on topic, the job Loki applied for paid very little but it was enough to keep him from dying of hunger. The only problem that Loki faced in his job was the gazes of the men. It doesn''t need a genius to figure out that those men were ''that'' type. Loki didn''t want to get near them, but his boss threatened Loki to wait those people as well, or Loki will get fired from his job. Loki had no choice and waited these people as well
Infact Loki back on earth was considered to be a very handsome guy, he also was a bit of a celebrity in his old school, but in this world his looks were cosidered a bit above average. The reason being is that in this world there are creams and potions that can make anyone look more younger and more beautiful or handsom, the creams affects are actually 100x more effective that the ones on earth, it''s no wonder that Loki''s looks were pale in comparison to these people.
He heard all this from people he waited in the bar, this job unexpectedley gave Loki a lot of information about this world. Now the second part of his master plan was complete, right now Loki needed is to get stronger and get money.
Loki also unlocked a new app called the Information app, this app was unlocked because Loki gained a lot of information this past month. What this new app does is that it can show you a persons strengths, weakness, and other? This new app could only scan a persons information if their cultivation level is Spirit 5 or less. This can also identify most treasures out there as well.This new app had a unique way of levelling up , and that''s by gaining new information.
The worlds cultivation level in order is:
Spirit, fantasma, reincarnation, Mortal, transformation, elder, hero, and soul
Loki thinks that there were people who have acheived a higher cultivation level than soul, but for some reason there is no records of anyone having a higher cultivation level than Soul 8.
((Authors note: There are also rank names for items but that will be mentioned in the near future))
Loki right now was on break from his job, he was eating a sandwhich that he prepared beforehand while using his phone, he accidentally spilled some mustard on his clothes and held the phones home button for too long.
Now the screen showed 49 boxes that had the words ''empty'' only one box wasn''t labelled ''empty'' because this box had his {Noobs Dagger} inside. Loki had totally forgotten about his dagger, if it wasn''t for this dagger then Loki wouldn''t had passed the test back on Gentle Forest.
Loki also learned something very interesting about these boxes, they are 15x15x15x meters in height, length, width. All he needs to do is to take a picture of an item and it would be stored inside his phone, When Loki learned about this new power his phone had, he thought up of an evil idea to steal very expensive things and sell them, if he did then his money problems would be solved.
But Loki couldn''t risk stealing from others, because this world''s technology was way more advanced than Earth''s technology. Meaning that it''s security must be very advanced as well, and if Loki was caught, then he would be sent to prison or killed. So Loki gave up on the idea of stealing and decided to earn his money the hard way.
Loki also asked alot of questions to ''unknown user'' and he asked how to get stronger. As it turns out, system users like Loki have a much bigger advantage of achieving breakthroughs than normal people.
The reason is that regular people have only 2 ways to achieve breakthroughs
1. seclude yourself from the world and cultivate patiently
2. consume cultivation pills
However System users have 4 ways to achieve breakthrughs
1Kill
2 Level up the system
3 Cultivate
4 Cultivation pills
After hearing this Loki felt really lucky to have the system, but the only thing that Loki was pondering about is how to level up the system. But as always ''unknown user'' would always respond to Loki "Figure it out yourself" when Loki asked him how to level up the system. Loki had tried everything he could think of to level up his system but there was no signs of it levelling it up.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
He also though that if he were to raise his cultivation level, then maybe his system will also level up. So he wanted to kill monsters and raise his cultivation level, but he soon learned that outside lived Moon wolfs. They''re known for being vicous and very agile, even the newborn babies have a cultivation level of spirit 2. Loki was only at Spirit 1 so killing these animals at his current level would be no different from suicide
And back on topic again, when Loki was cleaning up the mustard stain from his clothes, then someone barged in the door very angrily and yelled at Loki
"LOKI YOU HAVE A DELIVERY THE ADDRESS IS ON THE BAG"
A man who was very fat, bald, and reeked of alcohol yelled at Loki while he handed Loki a plastic bag, he had very loose clothing and has alot of food stains on it. At first glance anyone would think that he was a bum on the streets, but that''s Loki''s boss
"I''m still on break for another 5 minutes, and since when do we do deliveries, this is a bar not a fast food restaurant"
"DON''T YOU START SASSING ME BOY, NOW HURRY UP AND DELIVER THIS TO THE CUSTOMER, HURRY OTHERWISE THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR PAYCHECK"
Loki was already accustomed to his boss''s constant yelling and screaming, Loki then took the bag and followed the address on the bag
Loki arrived at the house which looked a little bit worn out but it still looked 100 times better than the house when he first arrived here.
Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!
Loki Knocked on the door three times, several seconds later there was rattling on the door, it sounded like the person was unlocking a bunch of locked locks on his door.
the door opened very slowly and only a bit of the persons face could be seen on the small opening. It was pretty hard to make out if the person is a man or woman. The person was scared, you can even see the fear he has in his eyes.
"Di-did yu-you bring te-the drugs er I mean te-the stuff"
The person couldn''t even speak properly because for some reason he was scared, although the voice sounded a lot like a boys voice
''God, my boss is even selling drugs to kids, I knew that there was drugs in this bag but to sell them to a kid that sounds like he still hasn''t went through puberty yet. How low must you be to do such a thing'' (very low)
"Yes the drugs are right here"
Loki never considered himself to be a good man, so he handed the drugs to the kid, back on earth the only things that mattered to Loki were two things
1st Family
2nd Loki
Other than these two, nothing else mattered to Loki. Although it goes against his own principles to hurt a kid, but this kid must already be addicted to these drugs, so if Loki were to take the drugs away from the kid it would only do more harm than good. And besides if he doesn''t hand the stuff to the kid, his boss will reduce Loki''s paycheck
"Tha-than-thank you sir heh-here is yu-your money and tip"
He handed hom the money for the stuff and a huge 50 cyo tip, the kid actually gave Loki a much bigger tip than the price for the drugs.
Loki''s face lit up, after all this is the amount he could earn in a day
"Thank you very much for your generosity"
Loki stuffed the money in his pocket and started carefully jogging back to the bar. Jay City recently suffered from a war that ended a few months ago, so the economy here was very bad. Infact there have been cases of people killing others only to steal items that were worth no more than 5 cyo. So now that Loki had 50 cyo in his possesion he would be targeted by a bunch of hooligans if they were to learn about this. And if someone were to attack Loki he would have no way to protect himself, because he is to weak and the only thing he had to protect himself was with his {Noobs dagger}
After Loki left the worn out house, the kid took out a phone and dialed a number.
Beep!!!
"So what do you think of him"
said the mysterious voice from the phone
"I think he''s perfect for the job"
The kid said
Loki was totally unaware that the kid had plans for him, Loki was able to go inside the door without any problems. Then an angry voice shouted to Loki
"LOKI COME INTO MY OFFICE NOW OR YOU WON''T RECIEVE A BONUS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR!!!"
Loki quickly ran to his boss''s office afraid the he will take his bonus away.
"Sit down boy I need to tell you something"
Loki was so shocked that his mouth was so open you could even fit a fist in there, The reason he was so shocked is because this is the first time his boss hasn''t yelled at him since he started working here.
But Loki overcame the shock and sat the on a chair that was beside him, honestly Loki is also very afraid of his boss. Not because he can take away his paycheck or anything, but because his cultivation level has reached up to Reincarnation level 2 That is over two realms more than Loki''s Cultivation level. He can clealy kill Loki without even raising a finger.
"Boss the customer recieved the ''stuff'' without any proble-"
"Don''t worry kid you''re not in trouble"
Loki''s boss interrupted Loki, then he added
"The delivery I sent you was a test, to see what you would do when you noticed you were selling drugs"
"Huh"
Loki was confused by his boss''s words but the guy continued and said
"I am in the drug business, and I am the boss of a huge organization (well not anymore) I have been observing you lately, and I noticed thay you are poor and in need of money, well then again who isn''t. But the point here is that if you were to double cross me when you figured out that you were selling drugs, then I would have send the kid and take ''care'' of you. He would''ve been able to easily kill you, his cultivation level has reached up to Spirit 9 "
Loki shuddered in fear, knowing that he was this close to being killed. Good thing he didn''t do anything Like snitching on his boss
"So why are you telling me this
Loki said
"I need new blood on my team, my men and I are to well known to the guards. So I need someone new to deliver my drugs to customers, this job could get you more money than you could ever dream. But unfortunately this ctiy''s economy isn''t good especially on this side of the city. So I need you deliver the stuff to the other side of the city"
Loki''s boss then added
"Of course if you dont want to join us that''s fine, but I will have to kill you, just to be sure you don''t tell another living soul about us, So then Loki tell me are you in or not"
Loki didn''t want to enter the drug business, he learned that if anyone that is even related to drug dealers will get killed by a drug overdose, the guards do this to show the drug dealers that if they wanna continue doing drugs, then the thing they love most will get them killed.
This method was ingenious because it actually affected many people in the drug business to give up doing drugs, but there are still those who stil don''t abide by the rules and continue on with their business.
But now Loki had two choices
1. Decline but get killed on the spot
2. Agree but have the guards chase you around, but also have a chance to make a lot of money quick
Loki had no other choice but to join his boss''s organization
"okay I''ll join"
"Good choice boy, I think I''m starting to like you, and not in a gay way"
"..."
Loki had no idea how to respond to that
"Loki starting from now on you are one of us, your first job is to take these 5 Kilograms of stardust* to a buyer on the other side of the city, The address is on this paper"
Loki recieved a briefcase that was a little heavy and a small paper with an address on it, the he left
seeing Loki leave his boss said to himself
"Don''t let me down boy, I am betting on you to make me rich and powerful again, and also to exact revenge to that bastard"
Stardust* is a name of a drug, I am not sure if this drug exists in our world.
Chapter 6 Death threats
After Loki left the building he saw a person that was clocking Loki''s way, he was a head shorter than Loki but his whole body was covered in a green robe. Only his face was half covered. But Loki recognized this person, he is the kid that Loki sold the drugs to earlier today
"so you actually joined, good I had a feeling that you would join us"
said the kid
''Of course I did join, my boss threatened me so I had no other choice but to join''
"Follow me it''s to dangerous if we talk about ''work'' here, we''ll talk while we walk to the address"
The kid started walking, and Loki followed him. After a few minutes of walking, the kid said
"You must have alot of questions right, it''s okay, don''t hesitate and ask away''''
"well I don''t know what to say"
Loki said
"well for beginners my name is Angel. And starting today you are working for my fathers organization"
"your father?"
"Well he''s not my real father, he picked me off the streets and took me in as his own son, he''s actually a good guy so ignore the yelling and screaming and angry look on his face. But first tell me something, did he tell you about what happened to his organization.''''
Loki''s boss never mentioned anything about his organization, aside that he is in charge of a huge underground drug organization
"No I don''t think he mentioned anything about his organization"
"I see, well then I guess i''ll tell you. Two years ago my father was in charge of one of the biggest underground organizations, but he was betrayed by his own brother. Both of us almost got killed, fortunately father broke thorugh the Reincarnation level 2 and we were able to escape. After that we decided to stay low and begin a small business, and wait to grow strong enough to kill my uncle and reclaim my father''s organization"
Said angel
"I see but I have another question, why would you guys pick me out of all people, there must be hundreds of people whom are better candidates than me"
Loki said
"Yes you''re right, in fact we have tested 7 other people before you. But they all failed the test and I had to take ''care'' of them. And right now we need people we can trust, especially after my uncle''s betrayal, father has been more cautious around people. Although you might have passed father''s test we still don''t fully trust you, and don''t say this to father but he''s desperate for power as well. Because everyday my uncle grows richer and more powerful everyday, so it''s getting more and more difficult to come up with a plan to kill my uncle"
Loki finally understoof why they needed him, because they are desperate
"Don''t worry I won''t double cross you guys, you can count on me''''
What Loki said was the true, Loki hated it when people would take advantage of others
"Okay then, and remember this, I will be watching you from the shadows, and if I even get suspicous of you for a second, I will kill you and feed your body to the wolfs"
Angel said to Loki while glaring at him
"Okay okay sheesh, no need to be so hostile"
Loki never took death threats seriously, back on Earth he was always recieving death threats from boys at school, cause of his good looks and also because the girls they liked actually had a small crush on Loki. So they were filled with jealousy, fortunately no one seriously took action against Loki.
Angel then disappeared from Loki''s sight, then Loki continued to walk towards the address that was written on the paper. Loki also used this time to use his Map app while walking towards the address. Loki never travelled this far into the city, because this city was very dangerous, even on the day it was as still as dangerous as in the middle of the night.
Loki arrived at the address and he was also able to raise his Map app from 15%-17%.of jay city. The building he arrived was a house. It looked better than Angel''s house but it was to plain looking.
Thump! Thump!
Loki knocked twice on the wooden door, several seconds later the door opened and a person that was taller than Loki by almost 2 heads answered the door. He was wearing a short black sleeved shirt, short green shorts, and had a mustach on his face. He had a very serious look on his face.
"Are you the one they sent"
Said the man
Loki nodded
"Good the money''s in the house, follow me"
Loki knew it was dangerous to walk inside the house but he still went inside, even if this man had plans on killing him, Loki actually had a plan to escape before the man can do anything to him.
The man led Loki to the kitchen, he bent down and removed a lid that was very well hidden on the floor. He took out a briefcase and opened it, inside was a whole bunch of Cyo bills neatly stacked up on top of each other.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
"there is 50,000 thousand Cyo in this briefcase, first show me the stuff and if it''s good then the money is yours"
Loki showed the man the ''stuff'' inside the breifcase, the man let out a satisfied smile and reached out to his waist and took out a small dagger.
"Okay kid get out of here and leave the money and stardust behind, of course if you tell your boss that I stole his money then I will track you down and tear you limb by limb. Just tell your boss that someone else took your money on your way to his place, and you probably won''t get in trouble"
Loki frowned upon hearing this man''s threat
''Seriously that''s the third threat this day, if there is another 2 threats today then that would be a new record''
A long time ago Loki was once threatened by 4 people on the same day, so if there was 2 more threats today then this would be a new record for Loki. Why is Loki always recieving death threats why.
"just give me the money and I''ll make sure nothing happens to you"
said Loki, he needed to act tough, after all if one doesn''t at least act tough in this world then he will be known as a pushover. And he won''t make it very far if he looked innocent in front of his enemies.
"hahahahaha you''re very funny kid, tell me, what can a kid like you do to a man like me who has cultivated to the Spirit 5 level"
The man mockingly said to Loki, he then pointed his knife to Loke then said
"why don''t you just do what I told you to do and run"
Loki knew that this wasn''t gonna be solved with words alone, but luckily he came up with a plan. Loki took out his phone and used his phones {Flash} ability on the man, blinding him on the spot.
The man was blinded by a bright light that emmited from Loki''s phone, he tripped on a chair and let go of his knife while he put his hands on his face. Loki immediately stored the money and drugs inside his phone and ran towards the door.
Slam!!!
Loki slammed the door on his way while he fled for his life. The man was still covering his eyes while lying on the ground. He doesn''t know that the phones {flash} ability lasts for 10 seconds. After a few seconds has paseed the man got up while he opened his eyes and looked at the direction Loki ran. He was so anrgy, never in his life has he been so humiliated, a kid actually managed to escape from someone like him.
He simply couldn''t tolerate it, he grabbed his knife and yelled while chasing after Loki.
"IM GONNA KILL YOU BASTARD AND TAKE BACK WHAT IS MINE"
He sprinted like a cheetah and ran after Loki at an incredible speed
"hehehehehe good luck finding me outside dumbass"
Loki never left the house in the first place, he only made it looked like he ran outside the house by slamming the door, he really wanted to run away but he secretly used his new {Information} app on the man and this is what he got
[Metal head] (that''s his name)
[He specializes in speed to flee from enemies, he is as fast as a someone who has cultivated at the spirit level 7. He is wanted in 21 different cities, for killing, stealing, and scamming people}
[He knows an ability called {ground rush} which increases his speed by 100% but drains his stamina by 200%}
{HIs weakness is his strength, he is as strong as someone who has cultivated at the spirit level 3. And he can''t sense people despite already achieving spirit level 5}
{He also has a bundle of treasures he keeps hidden under his basement, the treasures are from the people he has robbed over the years. It is estimated that he has about one million cyo worth of treaures hidden under his basement}
When Loki read this he clearly knew that if he were to run outside, then Metal head will without a doubt catch up to him, so using the advantage that Metal head was blind, he secretly hid himself in the house and waited patiently until Metal head ran outside. At first Loki thought this plan wouldn''t work, but it did.
Loki used his time wisely and searched for the basement door where metal head hid his treasures, he found a door that had several locks but for some reason they were all unlocked. Metal head probably forgot to lock them, Loki opened the door and it lead to downstairs.
The room was dark but Loki used his phones flashlight and now he could see everything on the room, there was spiderwebs hanging from the ceiling, and also a bunch old broken furniture and trash was lying everywhere. Then he noticed a little space on the midde of the basment floor was too clean, it was definetely a hidden door.
Loki kneeled down and slowly opened the hidden door, and inside was a bunch of jewellery, gold, Cyo and even more stardust, about 20k of stardust. a single gram of of stardust is worth 10,000 Cyo. So 20 kilograms of stardust is worth over 200,000 Cyo, and if you add it with the other treasures it would be worth possible over a million Cyo.
Loki was a happy and bit dissapointed, he wanted rare weapons or something that could help him protect himself from Metal head, if Metal head ever noticed that Loki never left his house then Loki would be in trouble. But with this amount he could buy himself some potions, weapons, etc. But first he needed to get out of here before metal head comes back.
SLAM!!!
''DAMMIT''
Loki thought,
The door slammed shut and heavy footsteps could be heard above Loki''s head, clearly metal head had returned home and must have noticed that Loki never left the house. Loki quickly left the treasure in the trap door, closed the lid and hid himself behind the broken pieces of furniture.
SLAM!!!
The basments door was opened so forecfully that it almost broke apart in two, metal head had an extremely ugly look on his face and ran towards the trap door that Loki had just opened. Metal head kneeled down and opened the trap doors lid, upon seeing that his treasures were still there he let out a small sigh of relieve
"sigh, the kid isn''t in the house, otherwise he would have already stolen my treasures"
Metal head closed the lid and headed to another part of the room that was a little bit further from where Loki was hiding. Metal head kneeled down and took out a brick from the brick wall of the basement, then he stretched his hand inside the hole and took out a ball of clothes. He unravelled it and it showed a small black cube that was no bigger than a hand.
He held it carefully and even caressed it gently, as if it were his preciou- er I mean his wife that it was carressing.
"My most priced possession is still here, once I find the cave of ehyptamos I will be the richest man alive"
The Ugly look Metal head had earlier had disappeared alot upon seeing that Loki didn''t break into his house, but what Metal head didn;t know is that Loki is inside the room with him, and he had just shown Loki his most priced possession''s location. And now Loki was looking at the small black box with eyes filled with greed.
"Hm once I find that kid I am gonna make him spill out where my money and the drugs are, and then I''ll make him suffer a slow painful death. And I''ll take that phone from him, that blinding ability can clearly raise my chances in escaping"
metal head lightly chuckled with a mocking face, he wrapped his black box and stored it inside the hole in the wall. Metal head then left the room and decided to take a nap, he was very tired because earlier, because he had used his {Ground Rush} ability to look for Loki. He decided to rest then he could bribe Loki''s boss to tell him where Loki is.
And so Metal head left the room, completely unaware that Loki was there.
chapter 7 TItle at the end
Soon after Metal head left the room Loki went towards the trap door and stuffed all the treasures inside his phone, after that he made his way to the other hidden door on the wall and took out that black box. he held it in his hand, and Loki felt something sinister coming from this box, even though Loki hasn''t learned how to sense things, he can clearly feel something ominous coming from this box.
"Can you tell me what this is"
Said Loki to his phone
Ding!!!
"It''s your phone idiot"
pfffffttttt!! Loki almost spurted out blood form unknown user''s response
"NO! I meant the black box"
Ding!!!
"I don''t know either, but i''m sure it''s something bad because that thing has an evil aura surrounding it. may I suggest using your Information app"
Loki was shocked, not even ''unknown user'' knew what this thing is, clearly this box is something very powerful and mysterious, Loki used his new [information] app and scanned the black box.
Ding!!!
{unable to identify object, get more information to identify this item}
''I expected this to happen so it''s nothing surprising, but what is the cave of ehyptamos'' Loki thought
"Do you know what the cave of ehyptamos is"
Loki asked
DIng!!!
"Figure it out yourself"
"..."
Now that Loki got what he wanted, he stored the black box inside his phone and proceeded to escape but how, Metal head was upstairs and probably locked the door leading to the basement. Loki was trapped in this basement with no way to get out.
Then he couldn''t help but notice a faint light that was emmiting on the room, it was coming from a wall, Loki at first didn''t notice it because a bunch of broken furniture was blocking the light, but some of the light managed to emmit throught the rubble.
Loki knew that the light came from a window, Loki can use to escape Metal head''s basement without alarming him, so he slowly started to take off rubble piece by piece so he wouldn''t alarm Metal head.
After hours of carefully removing the pieces Loki finally saw the window that lead outside, the only problem is that there are iron bars that stopped Loki from escaping. Loki frowned upon seeing this, so he had no choice to ask help from ''unknown user''
"is there a way to break these iron bars, and don''t say figure it out yourself cause that''s getting really old''''
Ding!!!
"These iron bars are already weak due to the rusting, even a baby can easily break them"Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Loki reached for the iron bars
Crack!!!
When Loki''s touched the iron bars it really broke them, Loki did the same with the other iron bars and escaped easily from the house without alarming Metal head or anyting else, and ran straight to his boss''s bar.
Inside Metal head''s house was Metal head sleeping peacefully on his couch unaware that Loki had just robbed him clean. what he also didn''t know is that there was a small person beside him wearing a green cloak that covered his whole body, indeed this short person is Angel in disguise.
Angel raised his right foot on top of Metal head''s stomach and stepped on him heavily.
CRASH!!!
Angel had used so much force that the couch Metal head was lying on actually broke in two. Metal head didn''t expect a sneak attack from someone while he was sleeping. Right now he was lying on the ground on top of his broken couch, he was holding his stomach while bending over. He couldn''t even talk because Angel''s stomp actually released all the air inside him.
Angel without showing a bit of mercy, grabbed Metal head''s neck and lifted him up high enough that his feat couldn''t touch the ground. Angel seemed to levitate because there is no way someone as short as Angel can lift a man who is like 1 1/2 meters taller than him, He then proceeded to take out a phone and called someone,
ring!!! ring!!! ring!!! Beep!!!
"Hello metal head, I heard from Angel that you threatened to kill on of my people and tried to steal the ''stuff'' is that true."
The voice that came from the phone was no other than Loki''s boss
"grgh grghe grghsh"
Metal head couldn''t talk because Angel''s hand was gripping so hard on his neck that he couldn''t even breath, his face has even started turning purple
"Angel let him go, I wanna hear what he has to say"
Angel let go of Metal head''s neck
"cough cough cough"
Metal head was on the ground coughing and gasping for air, he was very afraid of Angel, Metal head would always steal from those who were on Spirit level 7 because he could always escape from them, but he could feel Angel was on the Spirit 9 level. Not only that but he was also very tired from chasing after Loki earlier today.
"please believe me it''s all a misunderstanding, I was only playing with the kid earlier today. If you want I can give you 100.000 cyo as an apology"
Once Metal head realized he had no way to escape from he bowed and prayed that Angel would take up the offer and let him go, and if they do accept then he would only loose 100.000 cyo out the one million that he has, which meant almost nothing to someone like Metal head.
"Metal head do you think i''m a fool, I know about your reputation and the things you''ve done in the past. And answer me this, do you know why I would ever make a deal with you, despite the terrible things you''ve done."
Metal head was now very scared, he thought that Loki''s boss didn''t now anything about him. But as it turns out he knew everything about Metal head since the beginning, but why would they make a deal with him in the first place.
"I was only using you, I wanted to see what Loki would''ve done in the face of danger, and I didn''t expect him to perform so beautifully. Not only did Loki outsmart you, but he also took all your treasures that you kept hidden under the basement floor"
ppppffffttttt!!!
Metal head threw up blood hearing that his hard earned treasures that he colllected over the years had been stolen by a weak kid, ''so the kid must have been in the basement with me, that means that he also saw me took out the black box of ehyptamos. Why did I had to mess with such a character, if only I hadn''t threatened the kid'' thought Metal head
"Heh, Angel kill this scum by relieving his head from his body"
Angel took out a small sword that was hidden under his green cloak and cut off Metal head''s head, the weird thing is that no blood was spilled only on Angel''s blade was there blood left from Metal head''s body
"i didn''t expect Loki to do something like this as well. Looks like he will make a good ally in the future, he only has one more test to go through. After that he will become a full pledged member of your organization, right father"
Angel said while he was cleaning the blood from his blade with his cloak
"Ay he''s a smart kid, the only problem is his cultivation level and the fact that he has no knowledge in fighting or experience either, but that can be easily solved with money and time"
Angel agreed with his father as well, they both want someone like Loki to join their side, someone who''s cunning, smart and knows when to fight and when to run. Angel then dissappeared from Metal head''s house without leaving a trace that he was ever there and continued to observe Loki from the shadows. The only thing that Angel left was Metal head''s corpse lying on the middle of his living room, and his head beside his corpse.

chapter 8 an evil plot
In another place in Jay city.
In the middle of the left side of Jay city was a huge mansion, it might even be called a castle. Inside were 3 men dressed in black cloaks, sitting while having a conversation.
"Are we seriously doing this, even though we might not get caught but there is still a chance that we might have to leave Jay city, not only that but we also will be wanted man, and I certainly wouldn''t want those annoying J-man persuing me. (from now on, the guards are being re-named to J-man. J stands for justice not Jay city. I know it''s a stupid name but I didn''t have any better ideas, if you have some ideas type them in the comments below and I might add them) said cloaked man #1
"I know it''s risky but we must act, everyday our half of the city is getting worse and worse by the minute, if we don''t act now we might as well live in the slums and eat mud everyday for the rest of our lives" said cloaked man #2 in an angry tone.
In Jay city it is actually ruled by 2 kingdoms, one has the left side and the other has the right side, one side is called ''the evil part of the city,'' the reason is because this city suffering from economic crisis because of the war that just ended not to long ago, and as a result a lot of people kill, steal, rape almost every half an hour. It tells you that this side of the city is in dire need of help,
Even the J-man cannot do anything about the crime since there is to much crime happening in the city, even if they could arrest a few people it wouldn''t lower the crime rate at all.
On the other half of the city is called the ''good side'' of the city, although the war has also affected their economy, there situation is a 1000x better than the evil side of the city
These 3 cloaked figures are the rulers of the bad side of the city and they are currently plotting something.
"Then tell me this, if we are gonna take over the entire city of Jay why must it be now, why couldn''t we had done it a few years back when the war started, then we would have never suffered this crisis" cloaked figure 1# said while frowning
"Because today Borcaleno, I have met with a certain individual who fits in my plan perfectly. He is very imprtant to my plan." cloaked figure 3# said with a sinister smile while drinking a cup of hot tea.
"Hm!" hearing his boss say something like that surprised Borcaleno and the other cloaked individual as well, their boss is extremely stubborn and always referred to himself as unstopabble or an immortal, meaning that he doesn''t place anyone on top of him as he would always see himself as 1# in the whole planet. Althought he isn''t strong but he isn''t weak either, his cultivation level is actually fantasma 5, but himself and the other cloaked figure have also reach fantasma 3.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
But hearing his boss praise someone like that is definetely a first, even himself and the other cloaked figure never recieved such praise from their boss. They couldn''t help but feel envy towards this person, despite never meeting him before.
"heh-heh although this person''s cultivation is weak but he has an unnatural ability that fits perfectly in my plan. And when I met him by chance he actually agreed to my plan, but the price is to get a high rank in our city, which is not a bad deal if you ask me" the black cloaked figure 3# said while chuckling
"so what''s his name and what is his ability" cloaked figure 2# couldn''t help but ask after his boss mentioned that this person has an unnatural ability
''''his name is Max, and as for his ability, well i''m afraid that''s a surprise for the both of you to witness. But he should be here in a day or two as he had some stuff to take care of first'''' said cloaked figure 3# then drinked his tea again
"well since we have a person that was recommended by boss he should be very outstanding, but I still have a question, how are we gonna execute this plan, when and how are we gonna do it" said cloaked figure 2#
claoked figure 3# put down his tea then lightly scratched his chin as he was thinking of something, then he said in a carefree manner
"I don''t know" :p
Borcalino and cloaked figure number 2# fell down from there chair and hit their head after hearing their boss''s plan.
"Boss with all due respect we cannot take a city without some plan, it''s not like taking candy from a baby, this is a genuine city we are talking about" said Borcalino in an impassive manner, hearing his boss terrible plan in taking over a city made him and cloaked figure number 2# look at his boss like he was some sort of idiot, in all their years being together with him, they never would''ve thought their boss was a huge idiot.
''''Oh I know, it''s just that I''m still working on the last part of my plan, we just need a couple of treasures, do we by any chance have some valuable treasures with us"
"erm?" the dou looked at each other with a gloomy look, they used to have some treasures left, but it was all taken away by the kingdom of the good city of Jay, not because it was stolen or anything but because they needed money and they traded it for atleast 1.2m Cyo. They were in desperate need of money and had to eat as well.
"what, don''t tell me we still don''t have any" Cloaked figure number 3# said
'''' ''sigh'' sadly boss we don''t have anything left of value, the only thing of value we have is probably some common and uncommon ranked swords'''' said Borcalino in a depressed tone
In this world there are rank names for items
In order:
common, umcommon, bronze, silver, gold, ruby, diamond, legend, and god
common was the lowest rank because it doesn''t have any magical abilities, even a useless pebble on the street can be considered a common rank item, only items like {Noobs dagger} can be considered an unranked item. And naturally the higher the rank the more powerful the item is.
"hm! that''s allright, in fact I need the both of you to bring me some things that are essential to my plan"
Then cloaked figure 3# said in a low voice his ''amazing'' plan to his subbordinates, the dou were skeptical at first, but after hearing what their boss needed, their faces turned even gloomier.
"Boss, even you should know that these items are extremely useless, infact I don''t think anybody on their right minds are even willing to sell these stuff, much less buy it" said Cloaked figure 2# with a confused look
"I know that these things are trash, but they are essential to my plan, trust me guys when I say that I will show you my awesome plan in the near future" said cloaked figure number 3# with a coy smile
Chapter 9 A surprising discovery
After Loki had escaped from metal heads place he quickly ran toward his boss''s bar, shortly after 5 minutes of non stop running he made it to the bar, he went inside and reached for the door to knock on the office, but he was interrupted by a loud noise.
"OH HELL NO"
The loud noise startled Loki and he almost tripped, the voice he had just heard didn''t come from his boss but it came from another person. He reached for the doorknob and opened the door and the first thing he saw was Angel and his boss were having a conflict for some reason.
"INSOLENT BRAT, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT I PICKED YOU UP FROM THE STREETS, IF IT WEREN''T FOR ME YOU WOULD''VE BEEN SHIPPED OFF TO SOME SLAVE CAMP.'''' said Loki''s boss to his son
''''I DON''T CARE, IF I HAD KNOWN THAT YOU WOULD''VE DONE THIS TO ME I WOULD''VE NEVER DECIDED TO BE YOUR SON, AND HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE LAST TIME I DID IT, I ALMOST LOST SOMETHING PRECIOUS TO ME BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PLAN.'''' Yelled Angel at his father
"THAT STUPID PLAN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE REASON WHY WE ARE STILL ABLE TO HAVE A ROOF ON TOP OF OUR HEADS AND FOOD ON THE TABLE, IF YOU DON''T DO THIS HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO KILL YOUR UNCLE. EVERYDAY HE GROWS STRONGER, AND NOW I AM ORDERING YOU TO FOLLOW THE PLAN'''' Loki''s boss said while yelling at his son.
''cough'' Loki coughed to let them know that he was here
The dou turned around and saw Loki, "Ah Loki you''re here, tell me, if I had saved your life, would you do anything to repay me.'''' Loki''s boss said
"well I-'''' before Loki had the chance to speak he was interrupted by his boss.
"SAY YES OR I WILL HALF YOUR PAYCHECK FOR A YEAR" Loki''s boss glared at Loki
''''well boss I-'''' Loki was interrupted by Angel this time
"Dad you can''t threaten Loki like that, he must be give us his own opinion, see this is why we can''t kill uncle because you are always treating us like disposable tools, no wonder you lost your drug organization to your brother'''' Angel said in a mocking tone
"BITCH WHAT DID YOU SAY'''' yelled Loki''s father
"You heard me" Angel shrugged at his father and rolled his eyes at him
"YOU WANNA DIE YOU BASTARD OF A SON''''
"I would like to see you try"
Then the father and son dou started fighting inside the office, since this fight wasn''t gonna end anytime soon Loki decided to leave this place first and have a nap, he was too tired today. Before he left the bar he left the drugs that totalled 250,000 cyo and some other treasures that also totalled 250,000 cyo. He didn''t want to be too greedy and left half of what he stole from Metal Head earlier.
Ding!
Loki''s reached out for his phone to see what message he got.
"User 1751 I have good news for you, I have a small booklet in my room that tells you how to level up your system to level 2 and 3''''
When Loki saw this he thought he was having delusions from being too tired, he rubbed his eyes and checked the phone again, and when he saw that it wasn''t a delusion his eyes almost popped out from their sockets.
"Wow really, then what are you waiting for give it to- wait, did you just say that you had this book with you the entire time'''' Loki said in a confused look
DIng!
"Yup" :p
Now Loki was so angry that black lines appeared on his forehead and his face darkened as well, it maked sense because Loki has been trying to figure out how to level up his system, but as it turns out that the answer to his questions was in his phone the entire time. And not only did he have the way to level it up to level 2 but to level 3 as well.
"ALL RIGHT THAT''S IT COME OUT HERE RIGHT NOW, AND I SWEAR THAT I WON''T KILL YOU BUT I''LL BEAT YOU TILL YOU CAN''T BREATH ANYMORE''''
Ding!
"You''re mistaken, I did it for your own good"
When Loki read this he almost threw up blood, ''I suffered so much this past month and you are telling me that it was all for my own good, just how thick is your skin''Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.
Ding!
"I needed to wait until you had enough cyo with you, and now that you had half a million cyo, you are more than ready to proceed to level 2"
''''...?''''
Now Loki was very confused, what did him having cyo had to do with levelling up his system
Ding!
"It would be less confusing if I showed you"
Out of nowhere a small brown booklet appeared on Loki''s hands, it didn''t have a title or anything, it only had a brown cover and that''s it. The booklet was indeed small only about 2-3 pages were in it, he opened it and read through the whole thing,
"To level up to level 2 you need a phone chip, it doesn''t matter what rank the chip you use, even a common ranked chip can level up your system to level 2. Here''s a fun fact, did you know that you can unlock different kinds of powers in your phone with phone chips alone, of course the higher the rank the chip is the stronger the powers you can unlock"
"The powers you get from phone chips are all random, so if your luck is good then you might get an awesome power"
"YOU NEED TO UNLOCK LEVEL 2 OF YOUR SYSTEM TO KNOW LEARN HOW TO UNLOCK IT TO LEVEL 3"
Loki knew what phone chips are, they are exactly like the SIM chips back on earth, But Loki never bought one because even a common ranked phone chip costs about 100 cyo, and he could barely afford to eat since he was so poor, until now.
"I read it, but I''m still confused, why did you say that it was for my own good that you hid this from me till now" Said Loki
Ding!
" sigh, user 1751 if I would have told you that the only way to unlock level 2 of your system was by buying a phone chip, then wouldn''t you had done anything in your power to get a common phone chip''''
"Well yeah"
Ding!
"That''s exactly my point, wouldn''t you have become a stripper or something to earn even a single cyo, as much as I hate my job, I don''t wanna see you become a stripper"
When Loki read this he had no idea how to respond, it''s true that he would have done anything in his power to unlock the level 2 system, but he would never become a stripper, or would he?
"Erm! thanks. I guess?"
DIng!
"No problem, although your looks aren''t bad but If you had become a male stripper, then you would be earning a few dozens of cyo every day, and besides I didn''t want to see you become a male stripper becuase it''s gross ew!" (No offense to those male strippers reading this, oh and if you''re wondering there won''t be any type of gay stuff happening or any sex scenes, maybe a few sex jokes and gay jokes but that''s it)
Loki ignored the last message ''unknown user'' sent and dashed straight to the nearest shop, when Loki arrived at the shop which is called ''Gear Works'' he said to a young lady behind the counter that he wants to buy all the phone chips here. The young lady''s looks were okay, she wore a red and white striped uniform with a name tag on her chest that says ''abigail'' and her hair that was black reached all the way to her neck,
Abigail was shocked when she heard this, at first she thought that Loki was here to make trouble, because no one in their right minds would buy so much useless stuff, especially in the evil side of the city, which was as poor as a cockroach.
But her manager said to treat all customers equally and fairly, unless if they really are here to make trouble then kick them out. But if Loki really did wanted to buy phone chips then she would also get a small bonus, but if Loki was lying and was here to cause trouble then her manager would kick him out.
Abigail bowed to Loki and said that only her manager can manage something like this, she immediately ran towards her manager and shortly after recieving the news, the manager with Abigail ran to where Loki was.
"Dear customer, sorry for the wait, but did you say that you wanted to buy every phone chip in our shop" The manager was a small man in his 20s, he looked okay but compared to Loki he was still Lacking in height and in muscles. But he looked good because of the black suit he was wearing, where as Loki was still wearing his uniform from the bar.
"indeed, but make it quick. I have some important business to take care of" Loki hurriedly asked the manager, Loki has been suffering this past month just so he can unlock his system to level 2. And now that he was one step away from achieving it, he could no longer sit still and wait.
"ah yes, please wait I''ll be right back with the phone chips" The manager said in a respectful manner and ran to the back of his shop to get those phone chips, his shop has been getting worse and worse because of the war, and it''s been weeks since anybody has bought anything here, so he was afraid that the kingdom would take away his shop away because he didn''t have the money to pay them. And now that Loki said that he will buy all the phone chips that he has, will without a doubt save his shop and let him live in a comfortable life for a long time.
Even Abigail couldn''t believe what she was hearing, it''s been weeks since anybody bought anything here, and infact she and her manager were the only ones that were managing this shop, as the others quit or were fired because the economy was bad. If it weren''t because she had no other place to go then she would have also quit and moved out of Jay city. And now that Loki was gonna buy all their phone chips, means that she will also get a small portion of it which could make her life better than before.
Shortly after the small manager did infact bring with those phone chips, but their was only 4 and all of them were common ranked, don''t underestimate their value as the shop needs 10 cyo a month to keep it from getting destroyed by the kingdom, and every single one costs no more than 100 cyo each.
After inpecting it that they were truly genuine phone chips, Loki took out a treasure that was worth at least 500 cyo and gave it to the manager. of course when the manager saw this his body turned to stone from the shock, he actually recieved 100 more cyo than he thought.
Of course the manager was a good man of heart so he also decided in his heart to give Abigail a bonus as well, if it weren''t for her staying in his shop, then he would have sold this place to the kingdom for a measly 15 cyo, so he from now on he saw her as a good luck charm that this shop needs.
Loki left the petrified manager and the shocked Abigail in thier shop and ran to his home to unlock his system to level 2.
Chapter 10 The maze troll
Loki made it back to his house in no time, the house Loki lives in is the exact same house when he first showed up in this world, of course he cleaned it up, all the bug corpses, feces were no where to be seen. Loki didn''t like bugs and he wanted to move out of that house, but this house as bought by the systems team and it was under his name.
And although the house is cleaned, the whole house didn''t have a piece of furniture or even a window, it looked dark and abandoned, and like I said before, Loki was too poor so he couldn''t buy a single piece of furniture either, until now.
But Loki was already acustomed to this empty house and sat down in the middle of the living room, he took out his phone and a phone chip as well. He then inserted a phone chip in his phone.
|
Congratulation user 1751, you have succesfully unlocked the ''phone system'' to level 2. Here are the results.

| ''Information app'' is now limited to SIlver items and below |
| Unlocked new app ''tazer'' Now your phone has the ability to stun enemies for 10 seconds |
"YESSSSSS" Never has Loki been so happy in his life, it seems that suffering this month was indeed worth it. For those who don''t know, the ''system world'' is another world where people like Loki are able to enter, inside the world you can earn fame, money, power, and powerful items.
Of course, you have to win them in these ''games.'' Loki heard all of this information from ''unkown user'' but what Loki still doesn''t know is how to win in these games. Loki once asked ''unknown user'' but all he got was ''''it depends, that''s all I can say''''
And the only way to participate in these games, was by getting your system to level 2, and now that Loki has finally reached level 2 he can directly enter the system world.
"Hm why are you so happy"
"GHOST!!!"
Loki freaked out and used all strength to punch the ghost behind him.
"AH SH*T THIS HURTS"
The one who was screamed in pain wasn''t the ghost, it was Loki. When he reached his hand to punch the ghost, he punched something that felt like an iron wall.
"Sorry Loki, I didn''t think I would startle you"
The ghost that was punched by Loki was no other than Angel, whom just made his way into Loki''s house without his permission.
"DAMMIT ANGEL, What is your face made out of, metal" Loki said angrily while holding his right hand and glaring at Angel
"It''s made out of flesh and bones just like yours, the only reason it''s hard it''s because my cultivation level has reached all the way to Spirit 9, meaning that my skin will become more resistant, like metal. and your cultivation level is only Spirit 1, so naturally punching me is like a baby trying to punch a iron wall. So it will hurt a lot." Said Angel while shrugging his shoulders not caring about Loki''s situation
"Oh I see, wait! that''s not the problem, why are you in my house. I thought you were fighting your dad in the bar."
''''tsk, that no good son of a bit*h thinks he''s so strong only because his cultivation is higher than mine. But someday I will teach him a lesson. So until that happens I''m gonna stay here with you" Said Angel while looking around the house.
"NO! you can''t stay here, I have too many things to do" Loki didn''t want to Angel to stay at his house, because it could possibly reveal his biggest secret ''the phone system.'' And if he reveals it to anyone (other system users are an exception) he will die. Loki grabbed Angel''s shoulders and tried to push him out the door, but for some reason, the small and skinny Angel weights like 60 tons, almost as heavy as a tank.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
"You don''t have a choice Loki, unless if you have the strength to push me out the door, then I''ll stay here for as long as I want" Angel snickered and looked at Loki trying his best to push him out the door.
"it''s my house so ge_" ''RUMBLE'' Before Loki had the chance to finish his sentence, the house started to shake. Loki almost tripped but he held on to Angel, and for some reason it looked like the huge earthquake couldn''t move Angel at all.
"I didn''t know there were earthquakes here" Loki said while holding onto Angel,
Angel frowned and said "no, this isn''t an earthquake"
"Then what is it" Loki was confused, what else could it be but an earthquake
"It''s him, he''s back"
"Who?"
Dark lines appeared on Angel''s forehead, of course Loki couldn''t see it because the green robe was covering his whole face. "The maze troll?" Angel said
Meanwhile, in the evil side of Jay city.
"We got what you wanted boss" Said borcaleno while handing him a black briefcase
"excellent, now all we need to do is wait for-" ''RUMBLE'' the whole castle started to shake
"Oh god, not again" said hooded figure 2#
"DAMMIT MAZE TROLL" Yelled hooded figure 3#
" ''sigh'' here we go again" said borcaleno while sighing
Meanwhile, in a castle on the good side of Jay city
Inside a castle was a man sitting on a throne made out of gold while drinking his wine on a gold cup with expensive jewels on it, he was currently thinking how to solve the situation with Jay city and the war. Then his train of thought was interupted by a familiar screa
"Daddy look, I finally reached spirit 3." A small blonde girl that was wearing a very expensive dress was running towards her father with her arms opened wide and yelling out loud her accomplishment. She looked no older than 3 years old, and was acompanied by a girl that was wearing a black suit, she looked no older than 18 and had a tom-boyish look, anybody would have mistaken her for a boy if it weren''t for her huge bust, and girly eyes.
"I''m so proud of you my daughter, at your age, reaching Spirit 3 shows that you are very talented" A middle aged man that was sitting on a throne, was looking very satisfied with his daughter, someone who could reach Spirit 3 at her age means that she will become someone very powerful and important in the future, so how could he not be happy at this moment.
The person sitting on the throne was no other than the current ruler of this place, king Troy. His cultivation has reached the Fantasma 9. He is already one step away from reaching the Reincarnation level, right now in Jay city, this man is the strongest existence, no one else in Jay city is as strong as him. He held an aura that could make anyone kneel before it, but now that aura was no where to be seen as he was looking at his daugther with red eyes from pure happiness.
King Troy was about to hug his daughter until ''RUMBLE'' the whole castle was shaking "Sh*t" King Troy could feel that that ''annoying person'' was here again. "Victoria hold onto my daughter, and don''t let her out of your sights no matter what"
King Troy wasn''t able to reach his daughter in time, but luckily his most trusted butler was beside her.
"Yes my king" Victoria quickly held tightly onto the small princess not letting her go and prepared for what was coming.
"DADDY" cried the small princess for her daddy, although she has also been in this situation dozens of times, but it means that she won''t be with her daddy for a long time. Luckily she had someone beside her that she trusts completly"
Seconds later the these huge metal walls sprung up from the ground at it covered the whole castle was, the walls reached out to an impressive 100 feet, and it blocked the sun from the huge castle. Then Jay city was quickly being covered in these huge metal walls, even the evil side of the city wasn''t spared.
After a few minutes the rumble stopped and the whole city was covered in metal walls, it literally looked like it was a metal maze.
Outside of Jay city
''''HAHAHAHA i''ve done it again" A man in a bush (yes a bush) was currently laughing at the situation Jay city was in. He had a long metal sword on his back and a small brown bag hanging onto his waist, he was currently holding what looked like a small white tablet.
"Aren''t you getting tired of doing the same thing over and over again Maze troll" Beside the bush was a small blue light that was hovering beside Maze troll.
"GRR! I told you to stop calling me by that name, my name is ''Troll king" said Maze troll/ Troll king angrily
"it''s what everyone is calling you these days, and if you want everyone to stop calling you ''Maze troll'' then do something else, besides covering the whole city in huge metal walls like a huge maze." The small blue light said gently
"well it''s not like I have a choice, making mazes is my only power that I have, and besides you said that the more mazes I make the more powerful I get"
"alright, but you better run, I sense 5 people with higher cultivation level than yours approaching your location''''
"well looks like my job here is done" Then Maze troll/ Troll king ran away from Jay city, with his bush still covering his body, he looked very funny running like that.
seconds later 5 J-man appeared at the location maze troll/Troll king was,
"Dammit, how is he always getting away from our grasps" one the J-man said angrily
"Chase him he couldn''t have gone that far" another one said while commnding the 4 other J-man
Then all the five J-man split up and chased after Maze troll/ Troll king
Chapter 11 Three new useless abilities
* * * Loki POV * * *
Before I realized what was happening, these huge metal walls rised from the ground and covered my whole house, even I couldn''t see the sun anymore because these huge ass walls were blocking the sun light. They were probably as high as 100 meters if not taller.
You''d expect that this place would be dark, but you''re wrong, the walls were glowing, yes glowing, it wasn''t too bright nor too dim. It illuminated just enough light to see what was in front of you, the distance between the walls were about 3-4.5 meters apart, so it was pretty spacious.
"HOLY FU*K, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE CITY ANGEL" (Loki)
"Hey don''t yell at me. yell at the maze troll, he''s the one who made this whole city into a maze for like the 300th time" (Angel)
"Well what are we suppose to do" (Loki)
" ''sigh'' well what we have to do is find the ''core'' of the maze, once we find it we can shut it off and the city will be back to normal" (Angel)
"Well let''s find it" (Loki)
"It''s a maze, fool, it takes 4-5 days to find the core of the maze" (Angel)
"Can''t you use a phone or something to locate it" (Loki)
"we can''t, the maze blocks off all tele-communication devices, even compasses don''t work, and some have even tried to use their flying mounts to find it, but once you reach a certain height it will electricute you and then, you''ll die. Or if your cultivation is high then you will only suffer a zap" (Angel)
"How do you know so much, it sounds like you''ve been in this situation before" (Loki)
"We have, ever since me and my father got in this city, we have been a victim of the ''maze troll'' 33 times, at first it was okay. But now it''s getting Fu**ing annoying." (Angel)
"Then why don''t you just send some people and hunt them down" (Loki)
"You honestly think anyone hasn''t tried that, the maze troll probably has 1000 people searching for him, and that''s on Jay city alone, he has annoyed the hell of 27 other cities than some of them actually offered a huge bounty on his head. But for some reason that sly bit*h acutally somehow slips away from our grasps every single time." (Angel)
"Well now what we have to do is find the maze core and solve all this" (Loki)
"You say it like it''s easy" (Angel)
"Well we can''t just sit here for 4-5 days without doing nothing" (Loki)
"Guess you''re right, follow me, some people actually tend to use this to their advantage and assault some people, since the maze is so huge you might run into some unnecessary problems on the way" (Angel)
"Okay" (Loki)
Since Angel''s cultivation is higher than mine he makes the perfect body guard, and also I can use this time to unlock the rest of my phone chips abilities. Of course you might be thinking ''why don''t you just go directly to the system world'' Well because if I suddenly disappear then Angel might want to know how I dissapeared all of a sudden, then appear out of then air. Then it could lead to him discovering about the system.
But enough of that, and right now I am gonna see what the rest of my phone chips abilities can do. Eh! wait where did my phone chip go, I could have sworn I left my phone chip in my phone
" Hey unknown user, where did my phone chip go, I know I left it here" (Loki) I whispered to my phone do I don''t alert Angel that I was talking to someone from the system world.
Ding!
| The book doesn''t mention it, but once you insert your first phone chip, it automatically disentegrates into a million little pieces. |
"Fu*k don''t tell me it will happen the same thing to the rest of my chips" (Loki)You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
Ding!
|
Nah! that''s only for the first phone chip you insert, the rest won''t disentegrate like that
|
" Good! you had me worried there, and by the way, what''s with the blue screen." (Loki)
Ding!
| Upgrade! Now hurry up and unlock the rest of your phone chips abilities, it might be useful in this situation. |
I immediately reached out for my right pocket and take out a common ranked phone chip, and then straight inserted it to my phone.
Ding!
| Unlocked ''mild mustard gas bomb'' once an enemy is exposed to it, they will suffer from an annoying rash and have a yellow skin for a few months. It''s funny cause they will look like they came from the simpsons world. But this could still affect you, if you''re stupid enough to be in range of it. |
| (Mild) mustard gas bomb |
Uses 10/10 |
| Shoot a small bomb from your phone that will release mustard gas (mild) The range reaches a 10 meter radius. |
|
''Eh! that''s an okay skill to have, well what''s next.'' I took out the phone chip and inserted another one
DING!
| You''ve removed the (mild) mustard gas bomb, insert it in your phone again to use it''s abilties |
| You''ve Unlocked ''mist'' |
| Mist, each time you release mist, it covers the whole area in a white mist that blinds and confuses enemies at a 10 meter radius. |
100/100 uses left |
''dammit another blinding ability, I already have ''Phone Flash'' and now I have another blinding ability. I just hope that the last chip doesn''t have a useless ability''. so I took out my last remaining chip and insert it in the phone.
DING!
| You''ve removed ''mist'' Insert it again to use this ability. |
| You''ve Unlocked ''uncommon sword'' |
| ''Uncommon sword'' makes a sword appear in your hand, although it is a common chip, it''s rank is compared to those swords in the uncommon rank. |
| Ability: Makes your speed 0.05% faster |
Ding!
| Oh wow, you got an uncommon item for the price of a common item, your luck isn''t bad at all. But it''s to bad that this sword is useless to you, since you don''t know any sword techniques and your speed isn''t that fast either, so that speed boost ability would barely make a difference to your speed. |
''dammit ''unkown user'' don''t ruin the mood'' I thought
Ding!
| I''ll do whatever I want and there is nothing you can do about it, and besides it''s boring here. |
''Wait? did you read my mind just now''
Ding!
''So you could do that, this whole time''
Ding!
''oh good, so I won''t have to whisper to you anymore''
Ding!
''So can you help me, how do I get out of this maze, none of my new abilities are useful in this situation''
Ding!
|
I''m not suppose to help you in these situations, but what the hell, why not. You have 2 options to follow
1. Wait in this maze for 4-5 days, or
2. USE YOUR MAPS APP ABILITY dumbass!
|
''Oh how could I be such an idiot. I forgot I have the map app ability, but wait, Angel said that it devices won''t work''
Ding!
| Sigh. Ordinary phones won''t work, bur you literally have the best friggin phone in the world, so this kind of maze won''t stop you from using your phone. |
I used the Map app ability and it worked, I can actually see the whole maze, I can even see me and Angel on the map, I can even see people that are inside the maze. Not only that, but I can also see the ''maze core'' that''s hidden deep in the maze.
I can literally just go straight to the system core and solve this in a matter of minutes,
''''Hey Angel, I''m feeling lucky today, how about if I lead, and we might get to the maze core in a few minutes" (Loki)
"Ha, Loki you''re so funny, no one can escape from this place in minutes, the fastest time this maze was solved was in 3 days and 21 hours. And you''re saying that you can solve this in minutes, despite never having been here before'''' (Angel)
I decided to lie to Angel that I''m feeling lucky today, I guess you know why already.
"Then let''s make a bet, that I can solve this maze within an hour.'''' (Loki)
"Okay, If you lose, then I will stay at your place whenever I want, and you can''t complain about it." (Angel)
"And if I win, you will, um. I''ll let you know after the bet ends, deal. (Loki)
"Deal" (Angel)
we shook hands, and I began to lead the way
chapter 12 hidden
* * * Maze troll/ Troll king POV * * *
"Man this is way too easy, even though I enjoy trolling people it gets boring when you do this for months. ''sigh'' I just wish that something more interesting can happen, what do you think I should do Melinda" (Maze troll) I turned to the blue floating ball that was beside me, right now i''m in a restaurant eating some steak.
"Well I don''t know, you can go to the system world and possibly unlock some new powers." (Melinda)
" HA! you''re hilarious, did you forget what I did to the system world, the next time I go there I will get thrown in prison for years." (Maze troll)
"Well you should have thought of that before you decided to make a maze in the middle of the system world, and if you apologize, you might be pardoned." (Melinda)
"ME apologize! NEVER!!! The troll king will never apologize, even if it kills me, I will never do it." (Maze troll)
"Your loss ''sigh'' Hm! I think someone''s close to the maze core" (Melinda)
"That''s impossible, It''s only been like what, 10 minutes. There is no way someone could have cleared one of my mazes in such a short amount of time" (Maze troll)
"Well look at your tablet, then you will see wether i''m lying or not." (Melinda)
I then quickly took a look at my tablet, and I did see the whole map of the maze, and there were 2 red dots slowly approaching the maze core. ''nah it can''t be''
"it might be just a coincidence" (Maze troll)
"Let''s keep looking" (Melinda)
After a few more minutes the two red dots were actually getting closer and closer to the maze core, it was like if they knew the way. (They do know the way)
"OH NO! we can''t let them complete the maze this quickly, I have a reputation to hold." (Maze troll)
"You know you can make a few ''changes'' to the maze right now" (Melinda)
"Huh? Oh yeah, I forgot I even have this ability. I never had a good reason to use it, until now, MUAHAHAHAHAHA!" (Maze troll)
"Don''t do that laugh again, it''s terrible and creepy in its own way" (Melinda)
I then quickly began to furiously tap on the tablet with all 10 fingers, I''ve never done this before, because I could potentially kill someone, and I don''t wanna be labelled as a murderer. But if I don''t do this, then my reputation as an annoying ''maze troll'' will go in shambles, I would much rather be labelled as a murderer, than a reputation of a failed troller.
* * * Loki POV * *
This is gonna be easier than I thought, as soon as I get out of here I can finally go to the system world without alerting Angel. Not only that but I will also win the bet with Angel.
We were both currently following the route of the map on my phone, we did run into some hooligans on the way, but they were quickly killed by Angel. We are almost there, I estimate that we should be there in a minute, or less.
"We''re almost there Angel" (Loki)
"Yeah yeah sure" (Angel) looks like Angel doesn''t believe in me, I did find it kinda weird that Angel hasn''t noticed that my phone is still working in here, maybe he chose to ignore it, I don''t know.
''RUMBLE''
The huge rumbling noise came back, but this time the metal walls were moving in every direction. I didn''t expect this, then suddenly a huge wall appeared between me and Angel, we were split up. Then I could feel that the ground that I was standing on was moving. It did move and the ground and I was in a different place than where I was.
After a few minutes, the rumbling stopped and everything was quiet again. I checked the Map app on my phone, I saw the huge maze was different, the core to the maze was further away than where I was. I knew that it wasn''t a coincidence that the huge maze moved just before I reached the maze core. It was definitely the work of the ''Maze troll''
I could see Angel on the map, he was pretty far from my direction, it wasn''t hard to find him because me and Angel were the only blue dots here, the rest of the dots were red, and the maze core was yellow. It will be dangerous if I go alone in this maze without the protection of Angel, so I found it easier to avoid the red dots and choose a new route.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
I still planned to finish the maze, so I can get out of here.
Then suddenly an idea popped out of my head, ''now that Angel is gone, I can freely go to the system world.'' With Angel gone I can go to the system world without alerting him.
"Take me to the system world" (Loki) I said to ''unkown user''
Ding!
"Yes"
Soon after my body was covered in a blue light and I quickly was teleported in another world. ''oh wow'' I thought. The whole place looked so cool, even better than Jay city. It was dark but all the lights were on and it looked so cool, it looks like christmas, where everyone buys their lights and turns it on when it''s dark.
Ding!
| Don''t admire the view too much, you better hurry back. |
"why" (Loki)
Ding!
| Did you forget your bet with Angel. |
"OH CRAP! you''re right, tell me where can I buy some weapons and stuff" (Loki)
Ding!
| What am I, a tour guide, just go to the system city and figure it out yourself. But I would suggest to buy some armor and phone chips. And some stamina potions. |
I quickly went to the city, and I luckily found a place where they sold armor, I decided to use 200,000 cyo for armor and potions. And then I will spent 300,000 cyo on phone chips. I decided to buy 3 silver ranked phone chips, since each one costs 100,000 cyo each. And a gold one costs about 1,000,000
i quickly bought some bronze rank armor and some bronze rank potions which cost about 10,000 cyo each piece. I bought a bronze ranked chestplate, and a helmet which costed me 20,000 cyo for the both of them. I didn''t buy a whole set because it was too heavy for me to carry, so I used the rest of the money on stamina potions, and speed potions. I bought 10 stamina potions which costed me 100,000 cyo and 8 speed potions, which costed me 80,000.
In total I spent 200,000 cyo, and I had 300,000 cyo left. It was just enough for me to buy 3 silver ranked phone chips. I went into this store that had this huge sign named ''system works'' I found this store thanks to the help of the man whom I bought all these things that I mentioned early.
I entered the store, and I was met with a little robot, it looked funny with that big head and small body.
"Good morning Mr Loki Luz, I am rob (Lolz, what an original name) I guess you''re here for our phone chips, please follow me'''' (Rob) I was led by this robot to another room upstairs.
As we both went upstairs I got curious and asked Rob, '''' How did you know my name, I don''t remember ever mentioning my name here." (Loki)
"The master has enlisted the names and faces of every single system user in my memory chip. That is why I know your name." (Rob)
Soon after, Rob led me to this room that had a lot of devices, all of them were at least silver ranked. I was then eyeing the phone chips that were inside a clear glass. "This is the where we keep our phone chips, how many do you want" (Rob)
"I want 3 silver ranked phone chips please." (Loki)
Rob then took out 3 silver phone chips and handed them to me, after checking them I gave Rob 300,000 cyo and left the store eagerly to try out my new phone chips, hopefully I got something strong.
Soon after I left the shop I sat on a bench that was beside the shop, and quickly inserted my new phone chip
Ding!
| You''ve taken out Uncommon sword, insert it to use it again. |
| You''ve unlocked ''energy shield'' A huge ball of energy will surround you and those beside you, it can even withstand attacks from fantasma level 5 cultivators and below. |
Nice! Okay next one
Ding!
| You took out ''energy shield'' insert it to use it again. |
| You''ve unlocked ''Red bind |
|
Shoot out a red string that can bind enemies, it doesn''t work on those in Reincarnation and above .
|
| Red bind |
uses remaining 20/20 |
Hm! not bad, okay last one
Ding!
| You took out ''Red bind'' insert it to use it again. |
| You''ve unlocked ''sky patrol'' |
| you can now summon a small flying object, that will let you see from a birds view. |
Hm! these new abilities aren''t half bad, all i''m missing is a strong offensive ability, sword of the uncommon is all I have, and it''s very weak. Oh well. I should have bought a good weapon, but all my money is gone. I''m back to being broke, next time i''ll buy some books on sword training.
"Alright I''m ready, take me back to Jay city." (Loki)
Ding!
| I suggest you wait a little bit, there is something you must do before you leave. |
"well,what do you want me to do" (Loki)
Ding!
| There is a job that you need to take. It''ll make you rich. |
"Which job is it, tell me. don''t leave me guessing here." (Loki)
Ding!
|
This job .......(picture of a poster)
|
''''You''ve gotta be kidding me" (Loki)
Ding!
"HELL YEAH" (Loki) Only a fool would pass on an opportunity like this.
Chapter 12 The system world
chapter 13 Angel and the little girl
* * * Maze troll/ Troll king * * *
"Whew! that was a close call, if you hadn''t warned me, those two would have completed my maze in a few minutes" (troll KIng/ maze troll)
"I know right, but I wonder, just how did these two fellows managed to figure out the location of your maze core so quickly" (Melinda)
"Hm! I thought of that as well, their devices shouldn''t work, and they couldn''t have possibly climbed the walls which are 100 feet high, and will also electricute you. I should go there and investigate and kill them, otherwise they might really clear one of my mazes, and then my reputation will go up in ashes" (maze troll/ Troll king)
"Wouldn''t your reputation go up in shambles if you killed somebody just because you''re afraid that they might clear one of your mazes in a few minutes. (Melinda)
"That''s why I will kill them secretly, If their cultivation is higher than mine then I will poison them, or sneak attack them. It doesn''t matter as long as they''re dead'''' (maze troll/ Troll king)
"They could be system users, like you." (Melinda)
"That''s impossible, the odds of encountering another system user is lower than winning the lottery. Huh! wait, where did one of them go"
I looked at my tablet in shock, I was clearly looking at the map, and then suddenly one of the two red dots that almost cleared my maze, vanished?
"What happened" (Melinda)
"One of the two guys that almost cleared my maze, vanished" (troll king/ maze troll)
"Hm! then that proves my theory" (Melinda)
"What theory" (maze troll/ Troll king)
"Think about it, these guys managed to find the location of the maze core in a few minutes, only with the help of a system can they find it in such a short amount of time. And now one of them dissapeared, he/she probably either teleported out of the maze, or went straight to the system world." (Melinda)
"I think you''re right as well, well sh*t, I guess I can''t kill them, but maybe I can make a deal with them, so that they won''t interfere with my mazes anymore." (Maze troll/ troll king) I put down my tablet and scratched my chin, and thought how to deal with these guys.
* * * Angel POV * * *
"The hell just happened" I just don''t get it, the whole maze just moved by itself, this has never happened before. I can guess that the maze troll had something to do with this, but why?" Well I better find Loki, or else someone might ambush Loki, and I cannot let someone in our team be killed like that.
''''WAAHH! DADDY WHERE ARE YOU"
I heard a little girl crying a bit far from where I was standing, she looked very familiar, but I don''t remember where I saw her, as I got closer I said "KId, what''s wrong" (Angel)
"Huh! ''sniff'' I lost my daddy ''sniff'' and Victoria ''sniff'' I have no idea where anybody is ''sniff'''' (little girl)
"Well that''s too bad, well see ya around kid, and try not to get kidnapped by human traffickers and/or killed" (Angel) I don''t like helping strangers, and it''s not like I have the time either, I need to quickly find Loki before anything bad happens to him."
"WAIT!" (little girl)
"What" I asked somewhat annoyed, doesn''t this girl know that I have better things to do.
"You''re not gonna help me" (little girl)
"No!" (Angel)
"Why" (little girl)
"Because, someone else needs my help. And I don''t have time to sit around and babysit a little kid" (Angel)Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
"But, if you help me, my daddy can pay you. please" (little girl)
"Hmm! give me a second to think about it... NO!" (Angel) Then I ran away quickly to the opposite direction of the little girl.
"wait you, WAAHH! DADDY" (little girl)
Goddamit it, she''s crying again. I never actually left, I am actually floating above the girls head, even though I have killed hundreds of people, I just can''t leave a little girl to die here. I want to help, but I can tell by her clothes that she is not an ordinary person. She must be from a rich and powerful family, and if I were to help her, I would possibly attract the attention of the J-man or even worse, my uncle.
That''s why me and my dad need to lay low in this city, until we are strong enough to kill my uncle. But I will feel guilty about leaving this girl here, so it''s definetely a hard choice for me to make. Either I help the little girl but possibly be exposed, or leave her here to die, but I will carry this burden for the rest of my life.
AH! Which one do I choose!
"Hey look at that, a little girl, judging from her clothes shemust be from a prestigious family. Not only that but her looks aren''t half bad, how about we kidnap her and ask her family for a ransom" (thug 1#)
"Yeah, you''re right, and she''s all alone, she probably lost her family when the maze moved earlier today." (thug 2#)
I looked down and noticed that these thugs were eyeing at the crying girl, just how bad must her luck be to ran into these thugs so fast. I can''t let anything heppen to her, but if I help her then my identity might be exposed, but If i don''t she''ll die. Gah! why is it hard for me to pick one of these two choices.
"WAH! DADDY HELP ME!" (little girl)
"I finally found you, we have been looking everywhere for you" (thug 1#)
''''Huh who are you" (little girl)
"Your daddy sent us to look after you" (thug 1#)
"He did?" (thug 2#)
Then thug 1# elbowed thug 2# on the stomach, mentally telling him to follow his act."
"Umph! er I mean yeah he did, your father sent us to protect you if anything bad happened to you" (thug 2#)
Oh come on!, anyone with half a brain could see that these two idiots are clearly lying, I mean look at them, it looks like they lived their whole lives in a dump.
"My daddy really did sent you" (little girl)
''SHE ACTUALLY BELIEVED THEM, GOD SHE''S SO STUPID. maybe it isn''t a bad idea to leave her here alone with these thugs.
"Absolutely" (thug 1#)
"Liar, my daddy will never sent such low life thugs to look after me, that''s why Victoria is always by my side" (little girl)
*facepalms* well, she certainly knows how to piss off people.
"What did you say brat, I will kill you" (thug 2#)
"AAAHHH DADDY! HELP ME" (little girl) The little girl''s face turns pale from fear, and even more tears started falling from her eyes. She then tries to run away but trips and falls to the ground.
" ''sigh'' you should''nt have made Bob angry, he has a bit of an angry personality" (thug 1#)
Shing (sound of a sword unsheathing sFx) Before the thug could kill the girl, I took out my sword that was I was hiding under my robe and sliced the thug in two, I decided that I will help this girl, I don''t know why. But I can''t stand to watch this man killing a stupid innocent girl.
"Huh" the little girl looks up "you''re back" (little girl) she says that while she stands up and hugs me tightly, I guess that this is her first time experiencing something like this.
"NOOO! BOB, you bastard, Bob still owes 30 cyo from last night''s poker game, now you owe me 30 cyo, pay up or die." (thug 1#)
He doesn''t care about the fact that I just killed his friend, instead. He''s more worried about the money his friend owed him, he surely deserves to die.
"Did you hear me, I said give me-" Before he could finish his sentence, I threw my small blade at his chest, I want to see someone like him die a slow and painful death, rather than a quick death like his friend that I killed earlier.
I then reach for my sword and pulled it out from the man''s chest, and then proceed to walk away. I then remembered about the small girl, she was still holding onto my cloak, there were tears and snot stains all over my cloak.
"Gross! little girl, don''t wipe your snot on my favourite cloak." (Angel) I said that while I pulled the cloak from the girl''s face.
"Sorry ''sniff'' " (little girl) She was wiping her tears and snot with her sleeve
"And stop crying, if you keep crying, I will leave you here alone for good" (Angel)
"NO I''ll stop crying" (little girl)
I looked at the little girl who was trying her best to stop crying.
"You done" (Angel)
" ''sniff'' Yes" (Little girl)
"Good, now get on my back, I need to find my friend as quick as possible." (Angel) I still need to find Loki as fast as possible, and if I carry her on my back then things will be much faster.
"Aren''t you gonna help me find my daddy" (little girl)
"listen kid, my friend could possibly be in danger, and I need to get to him before anything happens to him. And once I find him, I promise I will bring you to your daddy." (Angel)
''''Really, you promise" (little girl)
"Yes i promise, now get on my back" (Angel) When I crouch down so she can get on my back, the little extends her pinky finger to me
"What''s wrong" (Angel) I ask, somewhat confused
"You gotta pinky promise me that you will bring me to my daddy" (little girl)
"Ugh! fine." (Angel) I then extend my pinky finger to her pinky finger, and wrapped it around her finger.
''chuckle'' the little girls chuckles lightly
"You happy now, quickly get on my back" (Angel)
"Okay" (little girl)
Then the little girl climbs on my back and then I ran at full speed.
chapter 14 Spirit 3
3rd person view
"I''m back bi***es" (loki) Loki finally came out of the system world to complete the maze and the new job that ''unknown user'' proposed to Loki. Loki then took out his phone, and used the ''map'' app to locate the maze core again!. He was equipped with the new bronze rank armor he bought at the system world. These are the special abilites that the bronze armour has.
| When a user wears this helmet, he/she will be blessed with the ability to create holograms of the wearer himself, the amount of holograms it can produce are endless. This ability is only meant for diversions and to distract the enemy, they cannot attack since they are only holograms. |
| All incoming damage will be returned to the attacker by 10% (Lol, and this is only a bronze rank gear, imagine what a silver or even a gold rank armor can do.) |
The armor Loki bought was very good for a beginner like him
Loki then took off while he his eyes ere fixated to the map in front of him.
Somewhere outside of Jay city
"Melinda come quick, he''s back" (Troll king/ troll maze)
"And..." (Melinda)
"And. that means that the sly bast*rd will try to clear my maze again. I need to stop him before he gets there" (Troll king/ troll maze)
"So, are you just gonna make the maze move, everytime he almost reaches the maze core" (Melinda)
"Yeah!" (Troll king/ troll maze)
"For how long exactly" (Melinda)
"Until 4-5 days have passed" (Troll king/ troll maze)
"So you''re gonna repeat the same thing, over and over again, for 5 days at most." (Melinda)
"Yeah! oh wait no, dammit, I never thought of that. I don''t wanna spend that much time changing the maze." (Troll king/ troll maze)
"So tell me ''Troll king'' what is your plan" (Melinda)
"er, lemme think for a second... Um!, erm!, hm!. Ah! nononono that is a terrible idea." (Troll king/ troll maze)
'''' ''sigh'' why don''t you release the beasts" (Melinda"
"The what?" (Troll king/ troll maze)
"The beasts? remember, you unlocked it when you reached your system to level 2." (Melinda)
"Oh god you''re right, but won''t that kill him, don''t you remember the system rules, we are not allowed to kill each other unless we have both agreed to a life&death duel match." (Troll king/ troll maze)
"I know that, that''s why you''re gonna order your beasts to injure him, then that way he won''t be able to stand up and complete your maze." (Melinda)
"Of course, what an amazing idea I just came up with, Hahahahahahaha!'''' (Troll king/ troll maze
''every damn time you do this to me, every damn time'' Melinda thought to herself
Then maze troll started to once again tap his tablet like there was no tomorrow.
Somewhere in the maze of Jay city
1st person view
* * * Loki POV * * *
if I just keep following the map like this, I will soon be able to reach the location of the maze core. Hopefully maze troll doesn''t pull another d*ck move like last time.
''Rumble''
Oh goddamit not again. The maze started to rumble again, but this time the walls didn''t move, then on the ground several lumps started to appear, as if something was trying to get out.
BREAK!
Indeed the metal platforms broke and several beasts came out from the ground, they were similar to wolves, but they stood on two feet like a human, and were even bigger and darker. They almost looked like werwolves.
I knew that this was the work of maze troll, but is he really that stubborn that he won''t let me complete the maze in less than an hour, hm! must be. I then used my phone and used my ''information'' app on them
| They are the beast that are controlled the ''maze troll'' They are all fast and very agile, they don''t attack others with a higher cultivation than theirs, they are only willing to fight foes with a weaker cultivation than theirs. They might look strong, but they are also part chicken. |
| Cultivation level: Spirit 5 |
Damn! this is really the maze trolls doing (who else can it be) But I am not afraid, I might have a weaker cultivation then them, but thankfully I have new system powers. But which of the phone chips do I use, I never thought I would encounter enemies right after exiting the system world.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
While they were still standing there, I quickly switch the phone chip to mustard bomb
| You''ve taken out ''sky patrol'' insert it to use it again |
| You''ve inserted ''mild mustard gas bomb'' |
''whoosh'' just as a wolf launched itself towards me, I pointed my phone towards it and fired the mustard bomb, ''BOOM'' The whole area of where the wolfs were standing were engulfed by the yellow gas. I just hope that these mustard bombs are poweful enough to keep the wolfs down, I am not ready yet to fight hand in hand combat, like those OP MC''s in the light novels.
''GGRRRR!!!'' I heard a growling noise behind me, I turned around and then my fears had come true, there were currently 7-9 more of those wolves, ''whoosh'' they all charged at me and I got ready to shoot my mustard gas bomb.
| ''Mustard gas bomb (mild) is currently on cool down. 0:57 seconds left ''oops. I forgot to mention that this has a 1 minute cooldown sorry'' ''oh and might I add one more thing'' ''RUN! BITCH! RUUUUN!!!'' |
SHIT, I began to ran the opposite direction of the wolves at full speed, I also quickly took out one of the speed potions that I bought earlier, and certainly my speed was raised, but it was draining my stamina very quickly, then I instantly took out a stamina potion. Damn! This is some good sh*t
I feel like I took a dozen shots of steroids just now, I feel like I could run around the world and I would still have a lot of energy left. I turned around and saw that the maze wolves were a few meters behind me, we were running at the exact same speed as each other, I then quickly used my ''Bronze helmet''s'' ability and a lot of holograms appeared right beside me, I ordered them to run in the other directions of the maze, hoping that the wolves would split up as well.
And they did, only 1 of the remaing 8 wolfs were only chasing after me, I then switched out for one of my phone chips again.
| You''ve taken out mild mustard gas bomb 9/10 uses left |
| You''ve inserted red bind 20/20 uses left |
I turned around and pointed my phone to the wolf and unleashed ''red bind'' Then my phone shot out a red lazer beam and it hit the wolf, the wolf was now covered in a red light and it was unable to move a muscle.
Why is it a dumb move
| The red bind can literally bind enemies who are at the fantasma level and below, instead you use it on a useless wolf, with a cultivation level of spirit 5. |
Oh I know that, but I had a good reason to bind it now.
Did you forget what you told me about a month ago, you said that when we system users kill other living things, our cultivation level goes up as well.
| Oh I see, since his cultivation level is higher than yours, you will actually gain a lot of exp from this kill. |
Exactly!
| Then what are you waiting for, kill it. |
I was about to do that. I then took out my phone chip and replaced it with another one.
| You''ve taken out ''red bind'' |
| You''ve inserted ''umcommon sword'' |
My phone then dissapeared and it got replaced by a long sword, it was a bit light. I then point it to the wolf that was on the ground. He was looking at me with fear, I can tell by the look on his eye. He didn''t want to die, he wanted to live, but I don''t care what he wants. If it weren''t because of my abilities then he would have killed me.
I then stabbed the sword on his heart, causing him to die very quickly, it was my first time killing something like this. But I remember that in light novels it says that you have to kill or you will die. And then one day, I might have to kill a human, I am still not ready to kill a person, but when the time is right, I won''t hesitate.
| You''ve killed a maze wolf cultivation experience gained 32 |
| You are now at the spirit 3 level, exp left 2 |
Wait, how does the cultivation experience work.

| The first rows tells you the cultivation level of spirit, the numbers on the second row, tells you how much exp you gain when you kill someone with a cultivation level. Like the wolf you killed just now, you gained 32 exp points for it because it was at a cultivation spirit 5. |
But wait, it says on the board that I will gain 16 exp points, but I earned 32 points instead, is it a bug or something.
| No, it''s not a bug. When you kill someone with a higher cultivation level than yours, you will gain double the exp. |
Nice! But what about the 3rd and 4th row, what do they mean.
| The 3rd row tells you how much cultivation exp you need to level up, for example, you just gained 32 cultivation exp, you needed 10 exp to level up to spirit 2, so that left you with 22 exp pts left. But then you needed 20 exp pts to level up to spirit 3. Then naturally you will have 2 exp pts left. |
Oh I see, so this is like one of those games, when you kill monsters you gain exp, and naturally the higher the level, the more exp you get, and then you level up.
| It''s exactly like that. Wow Loki, and here I thought that you were a dumbass, but it turns out that you''re just slow. |
Shut up!, anyways I better get out of here before any of those wolves come back here. I then ran off towards the maze core. Hopefully maze troll doesn''t pull any more tricks like this, but now that I my cultivation level is higher, I should''nt have any more problems dealing with those wolfs and possibly other hooligans that are lost in the maze.
NEWS!
