《The non-OP streetrat》
00Prologue
"How could I have been so stupid to let my kingdom fall to ruin?" Idiot OP playboy pig from some other world
"We all did but at least our kids will live." Idiot''s harem
--------
There is an old legend that tells of a "Hero" from another world summoned to kill the "Evil" demon lord, he was said to have great powers and be a brilliant ruler. Sadly legends aren''t all what they seem as this legend is wrong. He did have powers or traits he passed onto his descendants. He was a lucky idiot with a sword that never thought about consequences.
The ¡°Hero¡± had two main powers that made him unique he could learn any skills and magic faster than anyone else. The other was an inventory that could hold untold amounts of items. Tho he passed on both powers to all of his descendants they were weaker than his. Nobody knew he passed his powers onto his descendants.

Killed the demon lord and had seven kids with his seven beautiful wives. Unfortunately he pissed off the rest of the world after doing what he was summoned for, and so he was killed, his kids scattered. Some sold into slavery others put into orphanages.
This is the story of one of his descendants 900 some odd years later. A street rat pickpocket that. Only has four things going for him they are; 1 he''s clever, 2 he found out he can learn most skills and magic even if it takes a lot of effort, 3 an inventory, 4 small bit of luck. Thus begins the tale of our intrepid hero.
01 We Begin
Well I don''t know where to begin if I should tell you all I win, or if you lost the game. lol well boohoo
WE BEGIN
In a small town on the out skirts of the largest human kingdom of ''THE GREAT SERIPHDOM(name is pending input would be nice)'' or more commonly known as the hellhole. To the north is the plains a great expanse of nothing but farms and the most of the kingdoms lands. towards the south is seas and lots of islands where there is said to be many creatures of legend oh and a port town takes about a days ride by horse. West is a great forest with huge wolves and other things that want to eat you, supposedly there''s ''Elves'' I don''t believe it tho. East is well mountains and a few mines not to sure about what it is all about.
I know this it''s because I''m a street rat not the even the best one. There''s bigger and stronger, older and faster, they even beat me and steal from me. Well I''m used to to it really beat down all my life well what I remember of it. Never learned how to read nor write, only been taught two things by the boss thug he calls himself ''Mr. Big'' he is an average height and a bit fat. He taught me to always listen to him and how to steal for him. Yes I''m just a pickpocket street rat that has to steal to survive.
Only one person has ever been nice to me and he is a street rat like me known him about a year now he''s not one of ''Mr. Big''s'' tho. I found him in an ally one day and figured if I show him the ropes and be his boss I could get by easier and we do. Care about him with his blond hair blue eyes dirty clothes but he gets food and enough for us both, never know how he does it tho. He tells me that the nice ladies at the market just give it to him but I think he''s not that bright and doesn''t know what stealing really is. It''s a shame that I have to steal one money purse a day for ''Mr. Big'' and can''t keep anything I get because his goons always search me. If I don''t give it all over to him I get beat and sometimes I get beat for no reason but they wanted to.
They don''t know about Blondie which couldn''t be better for us because they would just make us steal more and probably beat him more. Blondie is what I call him sad that we don''t have names well not real ones anyway. Oh before I forget we have these weird blue floatie signs with numbers and letters if we say ''Status'' not sure what it all means but I''m special well we think I am because I can put any item I want into one and take it back out of it if I say ''Items'' and he can''t. Right now I have a dagger in it because I didn''t want to give ''Mr. Big'' a dagger and to keep us a little safer. We cant use it very well right now but we know it can stab and cut even if it has some brown flaky stuff on it.
I''m on my way to where Blondie is and I don''t know why I have a bad feeling but I think it''s because when I gave ''Mr. Big'' his money today there was only one goon. I know how to count up to ten because it''s how many fingers I have and when he has one less goon bad things tend to happen mostly to me. So I hurry faster to Blondie through small alleyways that only kids can fit through to make sure I''m not being followed and run as fast as I can because I fear what might go wrong. As I round the corner I see the missing goon hit Blondie making him drop all the food he got today, the goon is just standing there with a shiny dagger out. I freeze while the goon moves towards Blondie.
"Heh stupid kid ya should''a just gave me tha food. Now yas gone and made me mad gonna gut ya like a pig an watch ya bleed out heh." [goon]
As I hear what the goon says, I say "Items" and see my one item in the blue sign appear and take out the dagger and go to stab the goon in the back. I see his dagger enter into Blondie as mine enters into the goons back, the goon roars in pain as I lose my grip on the dagger while I look towards Blondie the dagger in him is being pulled out. I see the tears in Blondie''s eyes as blood pools around him while I get a kick to the stomach and lose my breath the goon snarls "Yar gonna pay fer that rat." I''m trying to regain my breath when the goon kicks me again then bends down to grab my hair. I kick at him while looking at Blondie trying not to cry but failing to hold my tears back feeling his sharp dagger pushing against my left arm, it cuts my skin and I scream in pain then the goon drops me and falls over. I can''t figure out why he dropped me I rush over to Blondie to try and stop his blood from coming out but can''t seem to make it stop when I hear Blondie say "Don''t cry it doesn''t hurt any more just sleepy....... I got more food for us and tomorrow we can go see the nice lady at the....................................................." Blondie''s eyes lose there light and his body goes limp while I''m holding and crying over the lose of the only nice person I have ever known.

After awhile I stop crying because if I don''t than I will die. Turning around I see the goon lying there breathing but i don''t know why he''s just laying there like that but I walk over and take his knife and stab his neck with it than see the light in his his show hatred then dim just like Blondie"s eyes did. Hearing a ding a blue sign pops up.

| You gain first LV total Inventory increased to 10 |
Since I can''t read i just wave it away than I say "Items" and I see another blue sign but it''s different than before it has more smaller signs but I try putting in the goons dagger and it only takes up one of the smaller signs in the big sign now I''m curious if i can fill up the rest. Deciding to try withe more things and they take up different signs so I take the goons money and my old dagger with the food and a small copper ring off the goon and run away from here.
Blondie''s POV
It''s been a tough life but things have gotten better after i met ''Rat'' its what he says everyone calls him but he''s nice even if he steals. He thinks I''m stupid and steals like he does but I''m not I talk with Lisa the nice lady at the market she gives me food for both of us and has been teaching me how to read the ''Status Screen'' as she calls the blue signs i know health and name mine says Roy and I have some health. Right now I''m waiting for ''Rat'' with the food from Lisa and she wants me and ''Rat'' to come visit her tomorrow but i don''t think ''Rat'' will want to. Hearing some noise I see a big man with a dagger out he says to give him the food but I can''t move I''m to scared then he hits me and says "Heh stupid kid ya should''a just gave me tha food. Now yas gone and made me mad gonna gut ya like a pig an watch ya bleed out heh." He thrusts his dagger at me and it hurts so much I cry. Hearing the goon roar in pain I open my eyes and see ''Rat'' get hit and the goon then picks him up and i see a dagger in his back. He moves the dagger towards ''Rat''s'' arm and then freezes up while he falls over.
''Rat'' runs over towards me while crying and then tries to stop my blood but I keep feeling sleepy and not in pain probably going to sleep for a long time but I say to ''Rat'' "Don''t cry it doesn''t hurt any more just sleepy....... I got more food for us and tomorrow we can go see the nice lady at the....................................................."
02 IS IT A TRAP?
Well the tragedy has begun
IS IT A TRAP?
As ''Rat'' runs away from the scene he wonders why he was able to escape but can''t figure it out he has never seen some one just stop like that. Shaking his head because he has to get some where safe but his hideout is no good looking around for some where he can hide ''Rat'' rounds a corner and trips into something. Looking up at what it is he sees a lady with long light brown hair and eyes that are a mix between grown and green a bit homely looking but over all not to harsh on the eyes. As he looks up at her he see she''s holding a basket that he has seen other women use to hold food that they got from the market.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed. "Look where your going boy." With a slightly disapproving look towards him. She is surprised by his eyes that are a mix of blue and green and that he looks beat up and has blood on him she asks him with a stern voice "What happened to you boy?". Seeing his scared look she feels bad and remembers about the blond haired blue eyed Roy and what he had told her about his friend. He runs away at a fast speed and disappears down a small and dark alley way.
''Rat'' gets scared from the woman because she scolded him and as soon as he sees her get slightly distracted he runs away thinking it''s his chance to escape. He sees a small alley that he knows to be to small for adults but not other kids about his age and size so its a little safer just hoping he doesn''t run into the others because they will hit him. Finding the small spot he can sleep and hid in he moves to go into it but gets pushed down hearing laughter from the slightly older and bigger street kids. "Why ina rush rat boy. Doncha know this our spot an ya gotta pay up? If''n ya can or we''s gon beat ya more. Ight boys." the leader of the other boys says without any breaks. Looking up at them ''Rat'' knows he''s going to be beat again but he knows he can''t fight back or say anything or it will be worse so he just closes his eyes and curls into a ball.
The older boys kick him all over and sneer at him that he''s weak and pathetic while they gang up on him. After beating him they walk away laughing and pushing each other around in a friendly manner. ''Rat waits till he can''t hear them then crawls into the small alcove and passes out. Waking up a few times due to the cold night and pain in his body he gets through the night that is like so many others in his short life crying silently.

The next morning he hears sounds of a busy market nearby he remembers what happened the day before and starts crying when his stomach rumbles and shocks him. Thinking he needs to eat and keep going so he looks around him to make sure he''s alone before pulling out some food to eat. After a short time he heads out of the alley into the market to see who he can ''Pickpocket'' and what he will get and hope it''s enough for ''Mr. Big'' otherwise his other goon will find him and beat him more like he always remembers. Looking around stealthily for someone not paying as much attention for someone like he sees an odd sight of a man not paying any attention talking with some lady merchant he heads over.
Trying to not bump into anyone he makes his way over and just before he attempts to ''Pickpocket'' he''s grabbed by the lady merchant, who looks down at him and smiles then says "Hi there again boy. It''s bad for business if you try things like that." Looking up at her ''Rat'' thinks he''s going to get turned in so he tries to get away but her grip is to strong for his small self so he tries hitting her. She looks at him and asks "Why aren''t you at home learning to read and write?" ''Rat'' responds "Ain''t no budy care no more not sin yester wit ''Blondie'' gone. NOW LET ME GO!!"
The lady asks "Who''s ''Blondie'' and where are your parents?"
"Ain''t got no budy and ''Blondie'' was me friend bu he gone now." Cries ''Rat''.
"What does this ''Blondie'' look like?" The lady presses thinking there''s not many with blond hair and only one kid about his age that fits. "Do you go by ''Rat''?" Thinking its worth a shot to ask.
''Rat'' tenses up and says "What''s it to ya lady if''n thas me or not?"
Both of them are getting odd looks form the odd man from before. The female merchant tells ''Rat'' "If you were called that then I knew who ''Blondie'' was and that he was going to bring his friend over. So I could teach him how to read, write and there numbers all you''d have to do is some chores at my house."
"I don believe ya lady no budy eva loo ou fo me but me an ''Blondie''." Tells ''Rat''.
"Miss Lisa, is this street rat giving you any trouble? If so me and my boys and take him away for you." City Guard
Well now this is one nice chapter but wonder what will come out next I''m going to start the next chapter after some food and see where the story goes from here on out well enjoy for a bit now
03 Got Away
Tacos are good bit of language and I''m having to rewrite this because of an accident joy
Got Away
"No no, it''s okay no problems." Replies Miss Lisa.
"If you say so Miss Lisa. Just be careful those street rats can be tricky." Comments the city guard.
"Thank you for your concern but I can handle it." Says Miss Lisa.
Looking towards ''Rat'' "I think you owe me now why don''t you tell me if your ''Rat'', what happened to this ''Blondie'' and what ''Blondie looked like." tells Miss Lisa.
"Fine." Spits ''Rat'' "I''m called ''Rat''. Me and ''Blondie'' was gonna meet up yester like always bu one of ''Mr. Big''s'' goons got ''Blondie'' an wanted tha food he had so he stabbed em. Now no budy gonna be looking after me like ''Blondie'' not like it matters ta ya"
"Okay, now tell me ''Rat'' what did this ''Blondie'' look like?" Says Miss Lisa
''Rat'' tells her while looking for a chance to run so he can hide and hope not to run into anybody. Feeling her tremble he looks up at her face and see her tears while her grip loosens he breaks free, then runs towards an alleyway and turns. ''Rat keeps running and turning down the alleys till he thinks he is safe. Hearing yelling that sounds familiar he listens in to it.
"Damn it now I need a new guard. I hate this shity fucking town." Yelled the man.
That voice it''s ''Mr Big''s'' voice looking for a place to hid ''Rat sees a small crevice and squeezes into it. It''s almost to small even for ''Rats'' tiny frame. Hoping nobody notices him he waits.
"Who ever it was that killed Ed I''m gonna gut them and make them pay. Now where is that little bitch ''Rat'' at with a money purse better show up soon and a nice fat one or I''m gonna hurt em. Heh I might just beat him because of Ed." Rages ''Mr. Big''.
Oh no I better try to leave but how? I can''t survive outside of here but if I stay I''m gonna be beat or end up like ''Blondie''. What do I do? I will get caught if I stay die if I ru BOOM!!! Suddenly there''s a loud crashing sound. Then I hear ''Mr Big'' yelling at someone "Who the fuck are you and you''re gonna pay for hitting my guard like that.''''
"I''m just a wandering mage. Your dog just got what he deserved for trying to bite me." remarks the mage.
"Do you even know who I am? I''M ''MR. BIG'' the boss around here you''re gonna pay for that {Elements of fire heed my call ''FIREBALL''}" raged ''Mr Big'' as a small ball of fire appeared above his hand and flew towards the mage.
"Heh, it''s so small. Let me show you a real one." said the mage while waving his hand " Catch ''FIREBALL''." A ball of fire twice as big as the one ''Mr. Big'' made flew from the mage.

"SHIT!!" Yelled ''Mr. Big'' as he turned and ran away from here.
"Tch, he got away oh well I don''t have the time to play. Now where is ''Rat''? Good thing I put that ''Trace'' on him ''TRACE''." as the mage said that a blue light led into a crevice on the wall right where ''Rat'' was hiding at.
"There you are boy. Now come along."
"NO!!!" Yelled ''Rat''. "You''re just trying to trick me or hurt me."
"Fine the hard way." Said the mage while grabbing ''Rat''. "I hope Miss Lisa is not gonna get mad. So much trouble I came here because of Roy not this boy wonder why she wants him he''s not that special?" muttered the mage.
"LET ME GO I DON''T WANT TO GO!!!!!!" Yelled a screaming and kicking ''Rat''. "PUT ME DOWN!!"
"No can do boy, NOW BE QUIET! gotta take you to Miss Lisa." Replied the mage while heading towards the opposite direction than the market.
''Rat'' was startled by the man and looked at him better and saw he was the one he tried to ''Pickpocket'' before. Looking closer he was wearing better quality clothes than most mostly blue. There was a weird stitch on his chest that looked like a 1..2..3..4..5 yes 5 pointy thing in a circle. Since he couldn''t get free and the man scared him he stayed quiet while being carried.
After a short while they arrived in front of a very unremarkable residence that had a few weeds and such out front. The man just walked through the yard then knocked on the door. Waiting a short time the door opened and standing there was Miss Lisa. "Come inside." she said while leading the way. It was very clean inside and she led the way to a room that had a tub full of water. "Okay ''Rat'' I like things being clean in my house so your gonna clean up considering your covered in muck." Looking at her confused he asked "Wha is Consiering?"
"Considering is like thinking or looking at something and you''re covered in dirt and grime. So your going to clean yourself and wear those clothes." Said Miss Lisa.
"Wha if I don want ta?" Asked ''Rat''.
"Then I will make him wash you and it would be unpleasant." Replied Miss Lisa.
"Kay fine." Mumbled ''Rat''. Moving towards the water and looking around seeing no other exits.
Well took a bit longer and I feel like it''s lost a bit in it but i just couldn''t get the grove back but wanted to preserve as much as i could while it was still mostly fresh in my mind maybe 20-50 words lost towards the begining but nothing i can do since i had to rewrite it after it left my mind sorry
04 Who They Are
Who They Are
Lisa POV
¡°Okay, now that he¡¯s taking a bath tell me why you wanted me to pick him up?¡± The mage said.
¡°I wanted him picked up because he was Roy¡¯s friend and he was the other one that I wanted trained. It was to protect Roy but now it¡¯s to let him survive in place of Roy, hopefully he can live because it¡¯s what Roy would want. Is that fine with you Zane?¡± I replied.
¡°Suppose that¡¯s fine but his talent doesn¡¯t seem like much. Less than Roy¡¯s talent that you told me, probably B Rank at best. It will take a lot to train him, think he will have the willpower to do it?¡± Zane remarked.
¡°I know, haaa it¡¯s such a shame about Roy he had such potential to be a great mage would have been A Rank at the least. I had even thought he might have made it to S Rank.¡± I said in response to Zane. ¡°Reminded me of him.¡±
¡°Really of him?¡± Asked Zane. Hold on we will have to finish this conversation later.¡±
I turn my head and see the young boy ¡®Rat¡¯, as he calls himself. He¡¯s clean and wearing the plain clothes I had left out for him. I can see he is light skinned and has a light brown hair to his shoulders, most likely can¡¯t cut it.
¡°Come sit over here boy.¡± I tell him.
¡®Rat¡¯ POV
Almost immediately after I exit the room with the tub of water the lady tells me to come sit on her couch. As I walk over to sit I look around the room and see a fireplace and some fancy looking paintings on the walls with two other doors beside the one I came in through. Sitting down knowing I can¡¯t outrun the man to escape since he beat ¡®Mr. Big¡¯s¡¯ goon and ¡®Mr. Big¡¯ himself.
Looking at the lady I say, ¡°Miss me don know wha me can do fo ya, bu me no good ah anhing.¡± Afraid of what she wants from himself.
¡°Well my name is Lisa Carlton but you can call me Miss Lisa, and this man here¡¯s name is Zane Malfus just call him Zane.¡± Lisa tells ¡®Rat¡¯.
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
¡°Lisa ah don know wha ya wan from me so wha¡¯s it?¡± Asked ¡®Rat¡¯.
¡°I told you to call me Miss Lisa, Okay?¡± Says Miss Lisa in an overly sweet tone.
¡°Ah did Lisa.¡± I replied.
Right after that Lisa flicked ¡®Rat¡¯ in the head ¡°I said M-i-s-s L-i-s-a.¡± She take a breath and continues saying ¡°Not Lisa. Now boy don¡¯t forget the Miss part again.¡±
Zane lightly shaking his head asks ¡®Rat¡¯ ¡°Do you know how to read?¡± ¡®Rat¡¯ shakes his head no while rubbing his forehead. ¡°Do you know what an adventurer or even a mage is? Rankings?¡±
¡°No Mr. Zane ah don kno bu me does kno tha some strong people¡¯s come ta town and some¡¯s strongah ten otheahs. Thas all ah knows. Bout wha ya asked.¡± Replies ¡®Rat¡¯ thinking he will get hurt again because the flick had really hurt.
Zane says in a displeased tone. ¡°Don''t call me Mr. just Zane is fine, now since you don''t know what an adventurer is they are people that explore and take on tasks for others. Ranks are how good or strong someone is. A mage is someone that uses magic like the ¡®Fireball¡¯ from before. Understand?¡±
¡°Ah think so, bu wha do ya wan from me an ell me this?¡± I asked Zane.
¡°He told you this because we were gonna teach Roy or ¡®Blondie¡¯ as you knew him, this but he asked for you and we thought it would be good to teach you to help him as well. Now there are seven Ranks F,E,D,C,B,A,S and Roy had at least an A Rank talent and we were gonna train both of you since he reminded me of the past. I¡¯m a retired Rank B same as Zane here. You¡¯re lucky that we are even gonna teach you still since Roy died.¡± Answered Miss Lisa.
¡°Ah was fine on me own befo, ah can do fine again on me own.¡± Says ¡®Rat¡¯.
¡°Look at that the boy thinks he was doing fine and doesn¡¯t know anything about the world or how to even read his status doubt we should even teach him. Even if you want to doubt he would listen, unless no you wouldn¡¯t.¡± Said Zane to Miss Lisa.
