《Re: Awakened Hero》 Prologue Congratulations! You have completed a rank S mission! 800 points have been added to your account! Darkness for as long as the eye could see. Words that randomly appear in my head. Numbers, math, rage, fury, wealth, sadness, misery, loneliness, laughter. Please choose your next destination: Rank F planet Boba, Rank D planet Raika, Rank C planet Yuri, Rank B planet Fatherland, Rank B planet Motherland, rank A planet Deathgrip, Rank S planet Obscurity, Rank SS planet Fury, Rank X planet Earth. My eyes scan my mind. An invisible touch clicks on the planet Obscurity, another rank S planet. Your choice has been noted. Contacting personal administrator... Personal administrator has sent you a request for a meeting. Accept? Yes. Request accepted... Administrator Akamineis online. My ears twitch. The feelings inside of me vanish like the wind, so fragile and weak. A single thought is enough to shatter my emotions. My tail twitches. Once upon a time, I would feel anticipation, excitement, eagerness, before meeting Akamine. Now, all that remains is an empty feeling. Hello, Alpha. That was rather fast, just 4 years to take down the Demon King, install a puppet government loyal to the System and even train an entire army to defend the planet? Jeez, you should totally just try to become an administrator yourself. I talked to the other administrators, and they said that the system itself basically considers you one. Why not just request a rank up? No. I like my job as it is. Alright, fair enough. Anyways, what do you want to put those points in? I thought you were saving up to finish up transforming your body, right? Yes. I should have enough to finish up, right?Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. Well, I don''t know. Let me check. Akamine''s voice disappeared along with his presence. I looked at my own body, thinking about how I would finally finish my lifelong dream of becoming an indestructible cyborg. Except I''m not a cyborg. A dark as night black spread all the way from my feet to my belly, and even from my hands to my elbows. Now, if I could transform myself all the way to my neck, it would save me the trouble of having to constantly block attacks. Dodging is stupid anyways. Taking another look though, I should probably request to get some new clothing. I despise mortal clothing, so during missions, I always end up destroying my clothing and ending up as a semi-nudist. Alright, you have enough. Aaaaand... Hold on... A couple minutes later, I finally asked just why my body wasn''t all nice and black. Ugh... just a minute... Holy fucking shit, just work goddamnit! They just had and go update the stupid app, and now I don''t know what buttons are which! Fucking stupid, ''it''s gonna be more efficient'' they said. ''It''s gonna be stupid'' I say. Finally, after another minute, Akamine finally did his job and I found myself all nice and black. It''s a lovely feeling knowing that 10.000 of years of work only amount to a small part of your body. Anything else? I updated your chart, want to see them? Sure. Name: Alpha Race: Kazanian Catkin Age: Very Young Profession: Mercenary, Hero, World Conqueror Title: The Savage Hero Threat: 9258 Looks good. I''m glad to hear that. Your Threat has gone up from 9210 to 9258, that''s 48 points in less than 5 years, I feel like you should get some achievement related to that. Achievements are for pussies. Watch your language, young woman. This is a family-friendly association, and we only condone mass-murder and selling entire worlds into slavery. Shut up, your humor sucks. I''m going. Wait! I need to check your blood pressure, your spiritual sense and your soul strength before you''re clear to go! See you in a century. And like that, I left. Well, leaving wouldn''t be the correct word, as in this spacetime section, the laws are a bit weird. Even then, I''m used to it. After reaching the required portal, my body disappeared into it. As my body was teleported to god-knows-where, my mind was busy checking what I needed to do to the planet. Obscurity: Rank S planet. Major Races: Humans, elves, demons. Individual threat: 0.4, Kingdom threat: ~900. There has been a request from a major client for this planet. A stray God wishes to settle here, but they require the planet to be scouted, conquered and, if possible, terraformed. The God has made clear that they prefer humans over other races. Slight possibility of a minor Demigods already inhabiting the planet. Assumed maximum threat ~5000 total. Nothing of note. The plan will be the usual. Veni, Vidi, Vici. 1 - Obscurity Obscurity, a world full of magic and wonders to explore! Available now for only 600 billion intergalactic credits! Come request at the System''s stores across the entire known universe! If I was ever presented with such an ad, the first thing I would do would be smashing whoever told me to watch this ad, then I would go and find whoever made the ad itself and break all their bones. Unfortunately, since I am the one who made the ad, I don''t plan on doing any of the above. Although it had been over 3 months since I left the main base to Obscurity, the journey was still not over. It takes a while for someone of my power to be transported across the known galaxy. Not only is it expensive, it is also dangerous. Hence, to guarantee my safety, I struck a deal with one of the space Gods and, at the price of a good amount of money, a couple really good planets and another thing I''d rather not say, I was finally able to buy a special machine that allows me to travel anywhere much faster than anything the System could ever offer. Gods are masters of their elements after all, and whilst the System is overall more powerful, it is more a jack-of-all-trades. Rolling my eyes at the thought, I closed up my laptop and looked at my room. It was a 10x10 meters room with a bed, a wardrobe, a desk with a chair, two sofas and a good amount of paintings, ceramics, and sculptures. Basically, everything I own. This room is what you could call a separate dimension since it''s not connected to the main body of the universe. Nonetheless, it is still part of it. Nothing I understand, in truth. What I do understand is that even a single object in this room would be enough for me to buy me an empire on a mortal planet, or if I sell everything I have, buy a divine realm for myself. Well, in truth, I couldn''t really do that since I''m not a Goddess. In my mind, all of this God and Demigod business is absolute bullshit. Basically, anyone who dies of old age is mortal, anyone who doesn''t is a Demigod, and anyone who doesn''t die of old age and is a master of an element (or more) is a God. So, going by that line of thought, I would only be a Demigod. Unfortunately, that''s not quite right either, since I''m stronger than anyone I know excepting the System''s AI and a dozen really powerful Gods. Truth be told, I don''t know anything more powerful than the System. I never even met it, and even if it''s an AI, people say that it''s conscious and intelligent. As far as I know, the most useful thing it did for me was transforming my body, giving me ''stats'' was useless, as I know my body far more than numbers could ever say. After tucking away the laptop under my bed, I stared at the direction I felt like I was traveling towards. My gut told me that I was about to arrive, and ms. Gut never lies. Hence, I jumped up from the bed and walked over to my desk, where tens of papers laid scattered randomly. I checked each one of them, and after making sure everything was correct, a perverted smile rose to my lips. I hadn''t realized it back when I was choosing where to go, but whilst I was traveling, I had received some paperwork from the System, which is technically my boss.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. Apparently, seeing my quick and efficient work, it had deemed it appropriate to reward me with something I had desired for a long, long time. A special grant, something that has been weighing on my soul ever since I joined the System. I might not be a mighty God, I cannot create black holes with a flick of my wrist, I''m definitely not beautiful enough to make entire worlds bend to my will, Maybe, just maybe I''m not the smartest lass out there, but what I can do is use my resources. And what better place to get resources from than a rank S planet?
"My liege, everything is ready for the summoning." A young, tall and handsome man said with a bow towards a much older man whose eyes gleamed with wisdom. "Good. Proceed." The man answered, and like that, tens of men and women stepped forward and began chanting in unison. ""!siht gnidaer pots !efil laer ni namow rednegsnart a ma I !tnahc dedrater a si siht !seye ruoy nepo"" In the middle of the circle of chanters, a star-like symbol appeared and began rotating, emanating huge amounts of light. As the chants picked up the pace, three silhouettes appeared in the middle of the light, and when the chant finished and the light receded back into the symbol, three teenagers were all that was left. "W-what? Where are we? What happened?" One of the three teens, a scrawny and below-average in terms of looks boy cried out. The other two were girls, both extremely beautiful. One had long blonde hair and a bountiful chest while the other had a much more moderate breast size (why would anyone even care), was shorter and had a ponytail. "Fear not, mighty Heroes from another world. We have summoned you to this world to beg of you to save us from the vile demon king''s hands. His armies rampage across our lands, slaughtering our people." The man with wise eyes said. Although he was begging, his eyes still contained the dignity. "This... I don''t know..." The breasty woman said, biting her lips. It felt like a dream. "What about going home? My family must be worried!" The shorter woman exclaimed. "Worry not, for the Demon King surely holds the key to going back to your world..." As the wise man (come on, we all know it''s the king -~-) was about to make another convincing speech and forever trap the youths in this cruel world, the symbol where the heroes had been summoned from shined once again. Seeing this, the handsome blonde man quickly exclaimed, "My king! Look!" "Hm? What''s going on?" The king asked with furrowed brows. The teens all looked, wide-eyed, as the wizards all scrambled around like ants, trying to figure out what was going on. Then, a large blue... screen? Appeared out of the circle and its words seemed to thunder through the room. Obscurity, rank S world, is currently being transferred under the authority of Senior Conqueror Alpha... Transfer complete. Welcome to Obscurity, Senior Conqueror Alpha. Then, the screen faded away like mist under the morning sun. From the symbol, a door rose up from the ground, literally. Then, with the atmosphere full of tension, the door opened and I came out. "Sup, bitches," I said. The three teens all literally screamed at the same time, "Catgirl!" The king furrowed his brows and secretly gestured behind his back to the handsome blonde man before saying, "Welcome, new Hero, to our world. Your arrival wasn''t expected, but I hope you will aid us in saving this wor..." "Shut the fuck up, you little shit. I am your queen, your commander. I do what I want, and you obey me, or I''ll chop your dick off and shove these wonderful claws so far up your ass that it might actually feel good, although I have no proof as I never tried anal fucking." I said in a calm voice. Clapping my hands together, I looked at everyone in this room. "Alright, rabbits. You all have 10 seconds to get your asses OUT of here so I can finish bringing my pocket house to this world. Anyone that remains will have their dicks chopped off or tits turned into mincemeat. Or both, I don''t judge. Now, Start. 10... 9... 8..."
