《FORSAKEN》 Beginning. Prologue Ah! Onii-chan, good morning Yeah, mornin I woke up early, brushed my teeth, and did some morning exercises before coming into the kitchen to have breakfast with my little sister, Yui. My life as Kusanagi Yami, a second year high school student, is just that simplewell, in the morning at least. My mom seems to still be sleeping, she mustve shouldered another night shift yesterday. This is nothing out of the norm, shes always been working extra hours and slept all day next day. Though I should really wake her up because shell be late for todays work like this. But oh well, Ill let her rest. Shell yell at me tomorrow, though Sitting into the small dining table, I picked up the sandwich Yui made and had a bite. The sweet taste of cheese and the moderate saltiness of meat mixed together and replenished the stamina I spent on morning exercising. It was delicious, as per usual. Hm? Ah yeah, of course, its delicious as always Seeing Yuis nervous gaze pointing at me, I realized why she hasnt eaten yet but instead stared at me. Though I thought its already a stated fact that Yuis sandwiches are always delicious, seems like she still wants my impression on the sandwiches she made. Im glad~ Though if you didnt count the fact that sandwiches are the only thing she can make Not trying to exaggerate things but, Yuis cooking skills are abysmal. She once learned to make some kind of fish dishes for dinner and had me and mom spaced out, losing our consciousness almost instantly. But the scary thing about her cooking isnt just the taste and the aftereffects it leave on you, but its also about the fact that the dishes she made looked incredibly pretty and charming. It was to the point that me and mom were salivating. But once we put it into our mouthuhh, lets not talk about that That said, I usually am the one who make us boxed lunch to bring to school, except for days when we have spare money to eat in the cafeteria, or days that our lunch is simply just sandwiches like today. Yeah, Yui is in charge of lunch today because its all sandwiches. Having done with breakfast, we grabbed our lunches, put on our shoes, and left the house to school. ******************************************************************************** Its quite a nice day today huh Yes, its going to turn hot soon though Right, were quite near the end of spring Its been a while since my 2nd year at this high school started. At first I thought it was quite wonderful finally having a smooth-going school life before I step into real life. But half-way through my first year, things took a few turns for the worse, and right now I can only say one thing about my time here at this school tch, school life sucks dick HE?! Onii-chan?! Why are you swearing out of nowhere?! Err, uhh, oops? Haaaonii-chan really needs to fix that or youll never make any friends you know? Uhh, um, y-yeah Whoops, its my habit of vocalizing me cursing in my head out loud. Ive been mistaking as a yankee because of this since forever. Before my dad died, he was a freelancer, so he came into contacts with various kinds of people in the back alleys, and I sometime did follow him to run some errand for pocket money. I guess thats where I learned how to curse or swear. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Anyway, as you can see, hahaha, Im a lonerthat laugh felt so pathetic coming from mewhy am I so proud being a loner anyway. Well, it certainly has some benefits so its fine to boast a little. But mostly because of my background and the people I usually hang out with, I was labeled a delinquent since the middle of my first year in high school. Yui, on the other hand, is worshiped as an idol of the school so they didnt care about the fact that shes related to a guy like me. In fact, they treat me like a virus compared to the radiating Kusanagi-tan, thats why I said this school life sucks quite badly. But then again, based on how Yui interacted to her surrounding, I dont think she likes being the center of attraction like some kind of exhibition goods. In reality, on some rare occasions when I passed by Yui and got some hostile glares back at me, I saw her putting on the hollow, business-like smile while being surrounded by her fans. OKAY. Enough whining early in the morning, its Monday too. As long as I can survive the hostility after one school day, I win. Thats the deal everyday, and I got used to it, so theres no worries. Onii-chanmaking that face means you determined to sneak into some gloomy corner of the school during break times again? U-Ugh. W-Well you see, isnt that the plan for everyday? Why dont you just try talking to someone instead? I already have a frieoh hes here. Yo! I raised my hand sluggishly at another dude walking towards this direction to head to school like us. Hes good looking, he has a gentle look on his face, hes also a high achiever in academic areas. In other words, a complete opposite polar of myself. Yamithat yankee face again in the morning The dude smiled wryly at me and immediately judged my face. Oi, if you were to judge why did I look like this, go complain with my parents! My face when Im bored is just like that, I cant fix that. Aside from pissing me off from time to time, hes a person that I can somewhat call afriend? Though hes the male basketball team captain, hes, for some reasons, also a loner and didnt really have any close friends to hang out with. Thus we occasionally talked or drank canned coffee together. With this guy, Takigawa Hiroshi, joining us, the conversation brightened up a bit because hes quite knowledgeable and has many topics to start a conversation. Just like this, we walked towards our high school. I wonder what kind of bullshit is lying in wait for me at school. I thought so while walking and talking to Yui and Hiroshi, not knowing that a whole series of stupid events were seeking my participation at school. And by seeking participation, I mean it forced me into the mess 1-1. 「The summoning ritual」 (Summon Arc) 1-1. The summoning ritual After parting ways with Yui at the stairs, I made a turn and walked along the hallway, receiving eyes of disgusts from every direction. I cant say its not unpleasant, but its because Im already used to it that I dont feel like glaring at them anymore. When Ive finally arrived at a certain classroom, I looked up and saw the sign 2-F hanging above. Its definitely the class that Im attending right now. Though its not a place for extremely smart people, its not a terrible class either. I slid the door open and took one step in. Every single noise completely died out the moment my presence appeared. This is nothing surprising, its just par for the course, its completely expected to happen every single time, no matter how many times. Yes, its completely the norm here for things to be like this, but I cant really say Im completely immune to the discomfort in my heart. Not saying anything, I entered the classroom, closed the door, and sat into my designated seat as other people returned to being noisy, chatting with their friends, or just hanging out with their own circles. Though Im completely unrelated, I can still sometimes hear whispers about how that Yami hanging out with the gangs in the city, how that Yami has a mother that works at a shady coffee shop, or how that Yami is plaguing the brilliant idol Yui by sharing the same blood, and how he should just go die somewhere so that this school can be clean. Oh wait, that last one is quite new, isnt it. Hm hm, so it finally reached the point where they just openly tell me to go kill myself huh. Fufu, am I that formidable an opponent that they have to be so wary of my existence? Is it actually true that Im the chosen one sent by god to purge the demonic beings? Uhhno I swear, that chuuni speech didnt come from a light novel at all alright? Though I look like a muscles for brains, I do read you know. I am in fact, just another male student who enjoys some action mangas and light novels. But I guessthat doesnt matter to the society where a persons background can determine their whole life without being able to make any turn for the better Another day that is the same to every other day huh. *********************************************************************************** -channiionii-chan!! Hm?! I opened my eyes at the sweet and soft voice calling me. If its a cute girl then can I just dive into her bosom and sleep for another 10 thousand years? If that can be done then its going to be so good for the tired me. Wait, I sound like a goddamn old geezer with a bottle of sake in one hand and a cup on the other. Ive got to straighten up a bit here or Yuis going to scold me for sure. I sat up and looked around me. It was a luxurious place with fancy ornaments and decorations. A red carpet was spread from the huge double doors with detailed carvings, way to the other end of the room, which was athrone? Wait, what? This is starting to make less sense. Why is there a dude with a golden crown on top of his head, sitting all high and mighty like some kind of medieval king? Is this some kind of role play? Or is it, in fact, a theatrical play of some sort? O-ni-i-cha-n!! Good lords penis!!! Dont scare me like that, you pleb!!! My sister sweet voice suddenly banged into my eardrum violently, resulting in me flinching and letting out some weird-ass cursing that even I dont know where the hell did it come from. Auuonii-chan is actually a hentai? Eh, no, its just because you startled me Yuis face turned red at my dirty surprised remark. But thanks to that, I finally came to my senses and recalled what happened before this. During break time in the middle of the regular school day, the ground suddenly shook. The public speakers were streaming a report about a strange earthquake. Everything was chaotic inside the school as students and staffs didnt expect this. There was absolutely no prior warning from the government. And then, as we were trying to evacuate, or at least began to try to perform some safety measures, the most unbelievable thing happened right before our eyes. Dimensional rifts opened mid-air everywhere around the school and they started sucking everything in. Students and teachers, humans and object, all shared the same fate of being sucked in mercilessly. We had no idea what was going on as we were engulfed by darkness at the other side of those dimensional rifts. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Then when my sister knocked me back into my senses, were already all here in this strange place, or should I say a palace? Yeah, thats more like it, I have a pretty bad feeling about this, though. Is everybody awake? Good, then listen up, young men and women!! The King-role-playing guy stood from his huge throne and spoke in a self-important tone. Wow, this dude is a famous actor or something? Oh wait, he actually looks like Tom Cruise, maybe he is some kind of famous actor. I mean, hes playing a perfect role of a King I swear, if this is some kind of hidden cam prank, I would definitely one-hundred percent shit on them with my secret technique Ten thousand lovely kicks. But since I was completely joking about that stupid technique, I guess I would just scold them since they ridiculed us. Ill cut to the chase, you all have been summoned to this world to become Heroes! Hah? I thought to myself, almost burst out laughing at the King-like dude in fancy clothing. ************************************************************************************ OkayI dont think I can laugh anymore. The King-dude let a buffed-looking guy in flashy armor explain the situation to us. Wait, heck, why the hell did he start off the conversation and then pass it over to the other guy? Is this King actually some kind of hikikomori? Well, screw it, not that I care about his problems. To sum up what the Knight-like guy said, this is an otherworld, where magic exists. Its indeed a medieval-like fantasy world where strength can be measured with Level. This is quite new, actually. Because normally, in these kinds of situation in light novels, they ask for your Status, not Level. But that is not the problem right now. This situation has somehow become so hard to comprehend in one breath. Apparently, we were summoned, my whole high school was summoned to this world to become Heroes that would kill the Demon Lord that is wrecking havoc and trying to push humans into the path of extinction. All the students and teachers were bewildered, hearing these absurd words coming from the strange people they never met before. Being summoned? Fantasy world? Magic? Demon Lord? Heroes? All kinds of questions along those lines popped up obviously on their faces. For me, I can just laugh in my heart since I did not expect a dull school day can turn into this kind of situation so quickly. Even Yui is clutching my arm with a frightened expression on her face. But thats not the only problem right now. That King stated that we will not be returned to our home if we dont fight the Demon Lord along side humans of this world. At that moment, somebody yelled thats bullshit, but the King leisurely said: You may decline and leave, but we wont welcome you here if you dont fight, in other words, youll be kicked out and live on your own and never return to your former world again Sighpolitely speaking, what a genital, rudely speaking, what a dick. Oh wait a minute, theyre both mean insults in their own way. Oh well, deserves that anyway. And of course, hearing that, everyone had to force themselves to believe this isnt a dream, and that they need to fight for their lives, for their way home. If you decide to just turn your heels, saying bullshit and just refuse to believe this, you lose your real way of going back home, to where your family is waiting. I gulped down my saliva, not because I was scared, not because I was overwhelmed by this absurd turn of events. But because deep down inside me, I felt like I saw myself smiling, and Im sure as hell my lips are bending subtly on my face right now, because of this major change in my dull life. As I tried my best to hold back the strange smile on my face, the King-dude nodded to the Knight-dude. Then the Knight-dude turned back to us once again and spoke: Now then, let us confirm your levels as Heroes *********** Author''s Notes: The MC''s past, as well as things that you found not explained right away, will be told later on. But if I actually forgot to explain something even in the future, feel free to message me. I tried my best to proofread, but if you find errors or typos, please point it out. Thanks. Also, you don''t have to point out that my story concept is clich, I''m aware of it myself, but I like this genre, so I thought might as well put my own little spin on it. *********** 1-2. 「Decision」 (Summon Arc) 1-2. Decision The concept of Level exists in this world where magic also exists. To put it bluntly, a persons worth is evaluated through his or her level. Thats how this world works. If your level is low, youre weak, if your level is high enough, you can become something like that of a heroic figure. A simple rule, yet cruel at the same time, at least to those with a small number as their level. For example, me. As I looked at my left chest, a single digit number was there as if it was tattood onto my skin with black ink. Though I wouldve appreciated it if there are two more zeros behind it, but it just stood their gloriously on my chest as 1. Thats my level. Im Level One. Not one hundred, heck, not even ten. Its a single number 1. I glanced over to Yui, my little sister, whos also shyly tugging her shirt to the side, just enough to reveal the number printed on her left chest. It was a double-digit number, way bigger than mine. Just looking at it through the rule of this world would make a person flinch. 80. Thats my little sisters level in this world. Fufufu, boy am I proud of my Yui. Wait a minute, I dont think I have time for that right now, in fact, I think Im in a pretty tight pinch. A few minutes ago, the Knight-dude told us to put our hands on our left chests and chant Show Level in our heads. Theyre checking our levels to make sure were all worthy heroes, the chosen ones that would lead humans out of calamity brought forth by demons. It was a sound argument that they need strong people in whose hands they will leave their lives. But then what about those guys like mewait, not those, there was only me that has a single digit number on my chest. Everybody else was chatting happily as they showed their high levels to each other, which were around 62 to 87. Incidentally, the guy with number 87 on his left chest was, in fact, Takigawa Hiroshi, supposedly my friend of some sort. Its the guy who is the male basketball team captain, hes quite popular with the girls. Thats also the exact reason why a bunch of students, despite first, second or third year, are flocking around him, showering him with praises and flattery, also admiration. While I was feeling quite confused about myself, my eyes met the Knight-dudes. How do I put this, the way hes looking at me right nowis exactly how you would look at a piece of tissue someone used to wiped their ass lying in the middle of your room. I received hostile gazes everyday at school, but this must be the most scornful look Ive ever taken so far. hm He turned away from me and raised his voice to get everyones attention: So everyone confirmed their own level. The results are very satisfying, I must say Hearing so, everyones faces brightened up greatly, it was as if they found a definite way home already. Especially the first year students, they just came out of middle school so their mentality is still quite weak to dire situations like this. Smiling to the crowd of Heroes, the Knight-dude turned towards me again: Though we have a defective here, I believe everything will go smoothly with the rest of you Hm? What do you mean by defective? The class rep. of the most elite class asked, tilting her head. This class consists of only girls, and their academic achievements are heavenly high compared to a common student. The chicks in there are all heirs of wealthy families, or some kind of big shots. With the exception of Kusanagi Yui, which is my little sister, shes in class 1-A, while the girl that spoke just now is in 2-A. Though theres also 3-A, but they arent as successful as 2-A. It seems like this person over here is level 1 He stressed his voice on the word person as if to ridicule my existence as some kind of trash. Hmhes quite buffed, he has armor, and he carries a sword too. Yup, theres no way I can use my secret technique Ten thousand lovely kicks on him and get out alive. HmI guess thats my fate. No use trying to think about flowery things for the sake of escapism right now. This is how this world works, I need to cope with it or Ill lose my mind. As the class rep. of 2-A turned her gaze towards me, whom the Knight-dude directed his eyes at, her expression changed from brilliantly happy to complete disgusts. Hey, at least look at me like Im a human, bitch! Oh that? Im surprised that thing even has a number for its level Allow me to make things clear Clearing his throat, the Knight-dude began his speech about Heroes treatment. Basically, it takes a person 20 years to level up to 35 manually. The Knight-dude himself is level 45 and hes one of the strongest people in this country. Then those that posses level 60+ at a young age like my schoolmates are all heroes. Theyll receive special treatments and training in order to stand by side humans and fight against the evil forces of demons. This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. That said, there is no point for them to keep me when it would take a lifetime for me to catch up with others, in terms of Level. Theres also the fact that some equipment prepared for Heroes cannot be equipped by people with low level. Even if they give me things I can equip, I still dont have the strength on par with others, that means Then even a girl like me can kill him easily, too? A question that froze everyone there was voiced by that bitch, with a straight face of course, she never treated people lower than her humans after all. As the Knight-dude nodded casually, she smiled and began to walk towards me, but Yui instantly cut her path. The bitch frowned and was about to say something when she noticed their differences printed on their chest. Yui: LV.80 Bitch-ass: LV.71 Uwaa No, that wasnt her flinching, it was me, though the bitch also jumped back slightly. The sole reason behind this, was the super murderous colors spreading inside Yuis eyes. If this look couldnt kill, I dont even know what could. I was a little surprised because Ive never seen this expression on Yuis face. We only began living under the same roof around 2 years ago. Before that, due to our fathers death, Yui came to live with my grandparents, and we parted for 8 straight years. When I saw her off, she was this cute little girl, then when we met again at the station after 8 years I thought there were problems with my eyes. As the bitch retreated a few steps, the Knight-dude spoke again, with the same casual tone as if it was the most natural thing in the world: Then, please leave, theres no room for you here. Youre just a waste of food if we keep you here without you being able to fight or help us Thats to be expected, I was already prepared for it the moment I saw that number 1 on my left chest. But I honestly didnt expect Hiroshi to cut in: Please wait a momentwhy dont you just return him to our world? The ritual costs a lot, we only intend to send everyone home all at once when the Demon Lord is defeated. Sending just him home now would make the rest of you unable to return for quite a long time There goes my last salvation hahahaha!! Of course, hearing that, all the other students looked at me with eyes that said get the fuck out of this place, you piece of shit. Hiroshi also got his mouth blocked dead frozen due to what the Knight-dude said. By the way, I dont know if it was just me, or the air around Yui is getting hotter and hotter Hiroshi was looking at me with conflicted eyes, clearly stuck between a rock and a hard place. So I shot him a forced smile and a few words for the sake of looking cooleven though theyre looking at me like shit at the moment: Well, thats fine. Dont worry, just live and fight, Ill manage something Hah? Dont manage anything, just go out there and suicide to a monster. You should pick a dragon so that your corpse would be burnt, that way it wouldnt contaminate nature The 2-A bitch laughed at me. Hiroshi cast his gaze downwards and Yui stared at me with blank eyes, she seemed to be trying to say something but the words didnt come out. Well, thats fine though, Ill go and try being some kind of beggars if nothing works out. Here, take this and try surviving with that level of yours Whoa there The Knight-dude threw me a sword. As I caught it, I noticed how well refined the blade was. So hes trying to show some humanity in front of kids? Is this guy a fucking dumbass? He saw that bitch right there attempted to kill me just because and now hes trying to show some pity? But oh well. Thanks, this would help, and one more thing I walked to the doors while saying a few words: fuck ya, slut! I middle finger-ed the 2-A bitch and went out of the door. I heard she raised a WHAT?! voice and tried to run towards me, but somebody grabbed her. PhewI thought I was dead alreadythank you bud whoever you are that stopped the crazy bitch. I did that on the spur of moment without thinking much soyeahthanks. I asked the people working inside the palace and finally left the castle, into the busy streets of this country. ********* Author''s Note: Yup. I did edit the Description of the Fiction page, ''cause apparently I didn''t know Tate no Yuusha well enough. What I tried to say is that I won''t hurt your heart as much as Shieldbre did, in the manga at least. Also, I''m really inexperienced in writing, so I hope you don''t expect any amazing plot planning or explosive story line. I am in fact a novice writer, trying to make a story of his own. ********* 1-3. 「For the time being, lets try to survive」 (Summon Arc) 1-3. For the time being, let''s try to survive Haawhat am I going to do next? Sighing from the top of my lungs, I wandered around the busy streets of this kingdom. If I remember correctly, the King-dude introduced this country as the name Kriste. He also said something about this being at the northern part of human lands. Recounting all of my plights, I concluded that Im quite screwed. No, Im definitely screwed. I mean, even though I did have some life experiences from running small errands with my freelancing father, Im still just a normal student living off of his moms money. What can a guy that can only earn pocket money to buy himself lunch do in an otherworld where the risk of losing his life to monsters is so high? But I cant just whine forever either Lets think hard about this. In a situation where common senses are already blown away such as this, first of all, I should not think normally. Level and Magic exist in this world, thats why I need to get rid of a lot of common sense in my head to survive. Then regarding how should I proceed from now on to keep myself from dying in some dark and gloomy corner of the back alleysshould I just think of myself as some kind of light novel protagonist then? Yeah, I think even though it sounds stupid, its still better to have some kind of background knowledge to base my thoughts on. Then, as expected, the Guild it is huh Whenever this familiar plot line comes up in Light Novels, the protagonist usually goes look for the Adventurer Guild. Being an adventurer, one can earn some money to at least keep their basic daily lives going. That is exactly why I asked the people around and walked towards the Guild. ********************************************************************* But apparently, Im still dead screwed I smiled wryly, looking at the information board standing right on the side of the Guild buildings entrance door. It clearly stated that the level requirement for a person to join the Guild is 15. Seeing that, what could I do more but laugh like an idiot? I mean, this situation is ridiculously dire for me. While other people are happily living and enjoying their simple lives, Im here sensing all kinds of death creeping up on me. Did I somehow anger Mother Nature with my manly charm? Am I too much of an existence for her to handle that she decided to screw me over? Arghenough bluffing, I dont think this is time for jokes, though. If I cant earn money within 2 days I might starve to death. That goddamn royal palace, what the hell were they doing, kicking me out bluntly Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk. Even though I said that, my stomach isnt sitting well with this. No, Im not too bothered being kicked out, but Im getting a bad premonition about those words the Knight-dude spoke about sending us back home Is there actually something fishy behind this? Im not too sure, its just my baseless guess that theres something wrong about them refusing to send me back to my original world. Yes, I agree that they mightve told the truth about it costing too much resources to perform a summoning ritual. But still, Im not too sure but, my guts tell me that its just fishy. The Knight-dudes face when he spoke about this looked pretty stiff, though But then again, I was kicked out, that means Im already screwed, so lets not care about that and worry about my own life from now on. Im trying to survive on my own after all Arghthey say kids normally go out on their own after theyve become 18 years old, but Im still 17. Well, I guess becoming independent one year early isnt all that badexcept for the fact that Im in a fantasy world with swords and magic right now!! Haawhat should I do nhm?! I looked at another paper pinned on the information board of the Guild and found beams of hopes shining through my irises. Red Goblin Subjugation. No level requirement. Unofficial request, meaning the Guild will not take responsibility for anything happened The reward for that so called Unofficial Request was 6 silver coins for each Red Goblin killed. They also explained the reason why it was an unofficial request. Its because Red Goblins are unpredictable, they sometimes are just single monsters, sometimes they have a whole group that can pose a huge threat. Unable to classify them, the Guild dropped this request down to an unofficial one for wandering mercenaries. There was a map pinned on the board, right next to the paper of the request itself. Seems like Red Goblins usually gather around the outskirt of Esanore Forest, southern of Kriste Kingdom. According to the map, there are also smaller countries around the vast forest. I should come to those countries once I have the chance. Information gathering is crucial in a survival situation, but right now lets focus on this new hope of my life. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. I subconsciously grasped the sword the Knight-dude gave me, which I was hanging on my waist, tightly and turned my heels, walking towards the southern gate of Kriste Kingdom. Just as I took a few steps, I saw something quite hard to believe. Excuse me, did you see a young man this tall with black hair and E? What the heck is she doing here?! I was dumbfounded as I see the beautiful girl in our school female winter uniform asking around with a slightly panicking face. Her jet black hair reached her shoulders, her youthful and girly look betrayed her overall sexy figure that of a woman. A promising beauty that would definitely turn into some kind of model when she grows up a bit more. I massaged my temples as I felt like I was having a headache. At long last, when my brain finally processed the scene in front of me, I called out: Oi, Yui!! Over here!! Eh? Ah?! Onii-chan?!?! My little sister ran up to me with beads of sweat rolling on her forehead. I used the sleeve of my jacket to wipe her white and smooth skin clean before asking again: Why are you out here? Yui is a smart kid, I was sure she knew that following me wouldnt do her any good. Rather, she shouldve stayed in that castle and act as my spy or something. Wow, aint that sound super cool? Me mixing my secret agent little sister into an organization and destroy them from within. That sounds exactly like some kind of shounen manga Anyway, I was surprised because I didnt expect her to actually left and go look for me instead of staying with the others. Im pretty sure well meet again soon even if I got kicked out. Haahumm, well, Yui doesnt want that to happen again That? Seeing the color of emotions inside Yuis eyes changing, I noticed what she meant by that. oh yeah, right, thatbut this and that are different yknow? I-I knowbut stillI dont want it Shes referring to 10 years ago when we were separated. Mind you, we reunited 8 years after that and have been living under the same roof again for 2 years recently. I was seriously troubled, since I was on the verge of not being able to provide for myself alone. Thats why, far from just it being difficult, its just impossible for me to take care of Yui and myself while being in a situation like this. It is not that I look down on Yui, but its because shes only been going to school and back home all this time, shes doesnt really have any life experiences. Unlike me, who came into contacts with gangs and shitty people while following my father around. Im just generally worried as a brother. I cant depend on her being higher level than me and let her do all the work either, my pride doesnt matter, but forcing things like this on my little sister and make her shoulder it do. You see, in this situation I dont want it! Oops, there we go. Thats the original Yui that I knew 10 years ago. She hasnt been showing her spoiled and stubborn self since we met again. Who spoiled her? Of course I did. Its not necessarily bad that I spoil her, because Yui definitely deserved it. Shes always been trying hard to be a good girl after all That aside, knowing Yui, I guess I cant sway her no matter what. This girl is just that stubborn to begin with. I smiled wryly and was about to speak when C-Could it be, perhaps, me following onii-chan is, um, a bother to you? My throat was blocked for a second. I was quite bewildered because I didnt really think that she would take it that way. Of course, my answer was clear since the beginning: Idiot, you have never been and will never be a bother Saying so with a firm voice, I stroked Yuis cheek to assure her, feeling her soft and smooth skin through my own rough and ugly skin. Im starting to regret a little, just a little, about following my pops around, running freelance errands. Well, that couldnt be helped, because our family was lacking severely back then with two kids. However, though I said that I followed him, I was just a little kid back then, so all I did was selling some candies or cleaning the floor. Then after my dad died, I continued those little work until I was able to run bigger errands as I am nowat least before getting summoned to this world. Oh wait, shit, I got side tracked and whined about my life again!! Had it been a life of a strong willed hero of some sort like in those shounen manga, I couldve bragged more. But since it was dull, Ill stop. As I saw Yui smiling with teary eyes, I swore in my hear that Id take good care of her now that I actually let her follow this worthless brother 1-4. 「Strange revelation」 (Summon Arc) 1-4. Strange revelation Ha!! I kicked the ground and dodge to the side as the creature before me swung its shabby sword down. The blade wasnt sharp, but it was still a sword that would easily injure a human, presently a Level 1 one like myself. The creature has a humanoid figure, and it has no hair. Aside from its super ugly face with small eyes and big nose, its featured characteristic would be the copper red skin. Thats right, its a Red Goblin. Though I said it looked humanoid, its only because it has 4 limbs and stands on 2 legs. Other than that, its overall posture was that of a middle school kid. Preparing the shitty sword once again, the Red Goblin glared at me, baring its 2 tusks. Tsk. This goddamn Level systemso annoying It really is posing difficulties on my body. First of all, I was a person that practiced gymnastics in the past. My body is quite sturdy for a mere high school student. I was used to extreme movements of straining muscles. Thats exactly the reason why the Level system is impeding me. Because of my Level 1, I cant move my body as I please, its not listening to me. My speed and reflexes are also being held back. That said, it makes fighting a mere Goblin becomes challenging. The Red Goblin kicked the ground and rushed at me. Readying my self-made up stance, I held tightly onto the sword that Knight-dude gave me before I left. But at that moment Take this!! Buoaarrg?! Baduuun. A small explosion hit the Red Goblin from the side, sending it flying and hit a tree nearby. It was quite a clean hit from the far flanks, creating a big opening for me to just finish off the monster. Not letting that opportunity go to waste, I ran with all my might towards where the Red Goblin was trying to stand up. It was coughing blood, and looks like it broke some ribs from slamming into the tree with that great of a blowing force from the side. I never killed any living thing this big before, except for that one time when I had to finish a dog who was suffering an incurable illness to set it free. Honestly, that incident is still coming back to haunt me in my dreams from time to time. I would see myself facing a silent dog. It didnt bark or make any sound. It made me wonder to myself should I have just let it die naturally?, was that actually a wise choice?, I just did what I had to in order to end its suffering right?. But nope, none of that matters right now. It is solely because if I dont kill in this world, I, or maybe Yui, will be killed instead. Its survival of the fittest, the unspoken rule of this kind of world when you are not on the side of the strong. As a weak existence with the number 1 printed on my left chest, I swung the sword with all my might. I did not close my eyes, nor did I try to end the monster in a merciful way. Instead, I used all of the little strength I had, spread my eyes wide open and carved the moment I killed a living being into my mind. Sooner or later, I will definitely have to face hardships where I have to kill more and more. That exactly is the reason why I have to face the truth that I killed. Escapism only drives ones mind into a dark corner and slowly eats up his soul. The shiny blade of the double edged sword mowed down in slow motion before my eyes. It drew a white arc, a beautiful one, through mid-air, cutting the empty space. Then finally arrived at the neck of the struggling Red Goblin. In my eyes, bit by bit, the steel blade sank into its neck and continued the beautiful arc. The feeling of friction due to meat being sliced transported into my hands. Then there was a little bit more resistance, probably because of the bones. After a moment that felt like an hour, my sword bisected the Red Goblins neck horizontally. Blood gushed out as the head rolled on the ground, its eyes still half opened. Oh, so that was what it felt like to kill a living thing huh Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. Should I sayit wasnt that bad? I didnt feel like it was the end of the world Yes, I know. Killing a single Goblin is something you see so easily done in light novels and games, but to me it felt different when I faced it one-on-one, seeing it breathing and behaving. Well, in the end, I had a feeling I was exaggerating things a little bitokay, maybe more than just a little bit but still Yeahit didnt feel that terrible killing a monster. No, it actually didnt feel bad at all. This means I succeeded in protecting myself and Yui for now. O-Onii-chanare you okay? Yup. I managed to slice it off cleanly It wasnt because of my strength, but it was thanks to the sharpness and quality of the sword, that I could bisected the creatures head through its spine. umthats not what I meant Hm? Oh, ahyeah Im fine Yui kept staring straight into my eyes for some reasons I dont think Im making a terrible face right now, but it might be because of my eyes betraying my words. They do say people do change after they kill, but isnt it just bullshit saying that I immediately change after killing one Goblin? well, if onii-chan said so then it must be alright~ Yeahand thanks for backing me up with that fireball You are welcome~ Using a tissue she pulled out from a small package, Yui wiped the blood of the Red Goblin on my face with a brilliant smile. Aaaaaathis is it! This is my exclusive healing potion. If there was one thing that never changed about Yui, it would be her cute smile. If looks could kill, then her smiles could resurrect. As expected of my little sister. As I watched Yui wiping the blood stains on me, I recalled feeling surprised when Yui said she had a Skill of the Nature-Magic system. According to Yui: I just got really mad hearing those people dissing onii-chan, but I knew youd scold me if I did something stupid, so I tried to endure itbut the more I endured it the more I felt like my head was burning then at the end of that heat burning inside her, a mysterious voice spoke into her head about acquiring some kind of special skill. Yui also said that voice told her the name of the skill as Scorching Princess Levara. To make it simple, this skill allows her to become someone who can use Pyrokinesis, a person who controls fire with their mind. Were still unsure about this, but it didnt seem to be some kind of joke since Yui can actually control fire. The proof is that she just heated up a sphere of air to make a fireball and supported me. Yui wasnt used to it, so it took time for her to chant, thats why I had to hold off with the Goblin on my own while Yui prepared the fireball. And boy do I have to say that was a clean and beautiful hit. It wouldve been bad if she missed, but since she hit it accurately, its all good. dont try to shoulder everything alright? Huh? What do you mean? I mean exactly what I just said~ Dont really get it, but nope, who cares, your smile is too cute! Im perfectly healed already! Ah, thats right. The Knight-dude said we gain EXP to Level up if we do it normally While mumbling so to myself, I undid 2 buttons of my collar shirt and looked at my left chest. For some reasons, a double-digit number was printed on my skin. I had no idea if this is a dream or notmaybe Im just hallucinating because I overdosed in using Yuis smile? Am I losing my mind to my cute little sister already? What? I dont think Im that siscon, thoughwell, even though Ill surely Decompose the bitches that lay their hands on her That asideif the Knight-dude said it takes 20 years to get to level 35then how comeIm level 18 right nowafter killing a single Red Goblin who wore a loin cloth hiding his tiny penis? Yui looked at my left chest, and we stared blankly at each other. 1-5. 「Cheat ability discovered」 (Summon Arc) 1-5. Cheat ability discovered What the hell is happening? I-I also dont understand Me and Yui tilted our heads, looking at each other like some kind of awkward confession scene. Oh yeah, speaking of which, my high school life, which should have been filled with pure and happy loving memories of confessing, is actually filled with hostile instead. So this empty atmosphere is quite fresh. Then back on topic. What is the meaning of this? I dont get this at all. If a normal person takes so much effort to raise his or her level, then how did I manage to jump 18 levels after killing one single Red Goblin? If this is the norm for everyone, then Heroes would have been level 500 while commoners are 300 or something like that Just as I was confused and yearned for an answer to this big question in my head, funny enough, a voice from within my head answered me. No, it wasnt really a voice, it was like information being sent into my mind and written into my consciousness. Hidden Skill Rapid Leveling increases the amount of EXP received by x200. Applies for both General leveling and Skill or Magic leveling. Teammates can also receive influences from this skill. Exactly those words were transmitted into my head from an unknown source. what? Onii-chanwhats wrong? You said that information about your skill wasput into your head right? Y-Yes It just happened to me. Something about a hidden skill was written directly into my mind He?! Onii-chan has a special skill?! Yuis eyes sparkled as she closed up and stared at me. The sweet smell of her sweat tickled my nasal cavity. Not really sure why, but I felt a tingle sense of being taken aback right there. It felt as if a girl I like suddenly appear in close distant, making me flustered. If I give it some serious thoughts, I think I can blame the fact that we did meet for a long time. Yuis appearance changed so drastically that I sometimes did, in fact, feel quite flustered when shes too close to me. Yeah the information in my head said it was a hidden skill I quoted the information by reading it from my head out loud to Yui. Hearing my words about this hidden skill, Yui eyes widened even more. She seemed to be happy. Thats amazing!! We should go back and tell those people!! You see It is plausible for Yui to suggest that idea. At first, they chased me out because I was weak. They looked down on me and thought that I was a waste of effort to keep. Then right now, when I have this ability, quite a cheat actually, I can return and tell them that Im not worthless anymore. I can now level up faster and become stronger quickly. However. Why the fuck should I come back? Why should I contribute my strength to the douches that chased me away without having just a little bit of trust in me? On top of all of that, is there really a reason I should sit down, wagging my tail and poking out my tongue, waiting to listen to orders coming from them? The wimpy heroes I read in some novels pissed me off by bowing their heads to a foreign King, letting him dictate their lives like an idiotic puppet of some sort. Unfortunate for humans of this world, even though I have an ability that sounds like a cheat, I wont use it for the sake of the bitches that treated me like trash. Nope. Eh? I aint going back there As Yui stared at me with bewilderment in her eyes, I cleared my throat, arranged my thoughts and continued without averting my eyes from hers: though I dont know how would using this skill turn out for my life, I still want to start my own life. No, fuck it, you know Im not the kind with fancy tongue, so Ill just bluntly say that I want to live my life for my own sake even though I cant return to our world Ive been living my life in some gloomy corner of the streets and then get shunned from kids my age. I do sound like a creepy old man drunk with alcohol, but at the same time, I also want to live a life where I can be free and do things that I wont even care to regret once. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. UhhI think I just sounded exactly like some stupid light novel protagonists didnt I? I dont think that matters too much right now thoughSigh, why does this happen when I try to make an emotional speechwait, who am I even preaching to, anyway err, in other words Onii-chan wants to live a new life from scratch? When I snapped out of my silly inner conflict, Yui was smiling, cute as ever, looking at me with gentle eyes. Those eyes looked like they were singing some kind of cheerful song Uhh, yeah. Thats right, to be honest, its better than siding up with those jerks. Besides Besides? The unease I felt earlier when I thought there was something fishy about them sending us back to Earth welled up inside me again. Im not perfectly sure why am I feeling this insecurity thinking about that. My guts are just yelling at me that, that King and his crew arent trustworthy. I can guarantee that it didnt come from me hating him because he kicked me out, though. Nah, nothing Since Im not entirely sure about it, I dont have to worry Yui any more than necessary. Shes a good girl, shell definitely feel troubled if I told her about this little anxiety of mine. if onii-chan said so then I understand. Ill follow you~ Are you sure about that, thoughfollowing me means were taking a way riskier-- ohunderstood Heh. Seems like no words were needed, I could understand clear enough from her face. I wouldnt say Im not dense, but Im not utterly hopeless either, if I do say so myself Clutching the cloth of my shirt at the part where the number of level is on my chest, I was lost in thoughts, trying to cope with the bizarre fact that Ill be living a pretty wild life from now on. I suddenly felt the weight on my shoulders now that I need to survive and protect Yui as shes my only family at the moment youre just overthinking, Yui is strong with pyrokinesis, yknow~? When I came back to my senses again, Yui was burying her face into my chest, whispering a few words in her usual sweet voice Isnt this, like, more of a good chance? My little sister is too positive about this situation isnt she I smiled wryly as I didnt really get what she was trying to imply, saying this is a good chance. Well, if its to die then yeah, this makes a pretty damn good chance to go meet my pops. Hes probably drinking sake while chewing on some strange looking food on the other side. This is a world full of monsters, magic, demons and the likes. Thats why one can easily throw his life into oblivion the moment he lets his guards down. Even though I have a hidden skill, I still lack common knowledge of this world. Lack of information is a lethal flaw in a survival situation. Thats not what I meanI was trying to say, um, this might be good f-for usl-like, there was that empty period of 8 years, no? Ah. I see now. As Yui explained her point with a blushing face, I noticed that she was quite correct, saying that this is quite a nice chance for us to make up for those 8 years we lost. That period shouldve been spent by us hanging out as siblings since we were pretty damn close back then. But instead, it only consisted of telephone calls any time I can spend like half an hour hearing Yui tell about things happened in her new school. Yeahyoure right. This might just be the perfect time to make up for the time we lost Ehehe Stroking her soft and smooth black hair, I once again confirmed the information about Rapid Leveling inside my head, making sure that I didnt miss any information in that lump of explanation. Whats left right now, is to actually put it into test once more to see if theres any downside to it, and how effective it is. 1-6. 「Test run & Results」 (Summon Arc) 1-6. Test run & Results I decided to go look for a few more goblins to test out this ability more. In an MMORPG, EXP is one of the most important things a player need in order to become stronger. Of course, there are some games that do not make use of the level system, but thats a different story. Though Ive only tried this once or twice during my days of playing games, I do know of the existence of private game servers. These are basically game servers managed by fans where they can adjust the drop rate or EXP and such. Some of the private servers multiply EXP to x20 and made all cash items freebies for players to experience the feeling identical to cashed-players. Leveling with this kind of server is extremely easy because everything was absurd. Thats why if I have an ability that multiply EXP given to me by 200 times, it would surely be quite a cheat. But what makes it more cheat-like is the Skill EXP. According to the information given into my head about this hidden skill, EXP is given to me even when I train my skills and magic. In other words, if I ever acquire a skill and level it up, it would also rapidly go up. The scary thing about this, is that it also applies for itself, which means Rapid Leveling will level up itself under the influence of its own, but it seems like that would take a whole lot of EXP to make it go up even just one level. Onii-chan, I think I heard some rustling noises over there Alrightlets go find that thing Yui tugged on my sleeve and spoke in a low voice, notifying me that there were signs of something moving behind a bush. Though we havent encountered any dangerous monster because weve only been going around the edge of the forest, we still needed to be extra careful nonetheless. As we sneakily approached the noises coming from the moving bush a couple tens of meters before us, I suddenly had the need to check my current EXP. The moment I thought that, the number 20% entered my head. Reallythis system is weird and random as fuck Then I thought about the EXP of my hidden skill Rapid Leveling itself, and the number 0.01% entered my head. Seems like I still got a ways to go before leveling up this hidden skill. Yui Yes Yui stopped a few meters away from the bush while I kept drawing closer. She started to focus on her hidden skill Scorching Princess Levara and began to make a fireball between the palms. I gulped down my saliva, pulled out my sword and picked up a rock on the ground. The rock was quite heavy despite its moderate size, there must be some metal mixed inside. I took my aim and flung it with all my might at the bush. The rock flew with a quite good speed without putting any strain on my arm. This must be the effect of leveling up to 18. The black and ugly rock went through the rustling bush and instantly hit something. The thing behind that bush seemed to be a living being as it raised an agony voice, being hit directly by such a heavy object. The thing rolled on the ground a few times before picking itself up, revealing its true identity as a humanoid-looking monster. Its skin was copper red, its face was ugly with the huge nose and small tusks. Indeed, a Red Goblin, the kind of monster I was looking for. It looked pretty angry, being disturbed by me while scavenging for some strange-looking grapes as food. The monster instantly picked up the spear it put down on the ground and charged at me, but *baaaang*, a fireball directly hit its flanks from the side. Seems like Yuis chanting speed went up a few seconds. Not missing the chance when the monster was lying limp on the ground, I dashed towards it with all I got, trying to figure out the limit of my speed now that I leveled up. The results were satisfying as I was able to run as fast as I originally was. My stamina also got more endurance and my body is now listening to me more properly. So Level does mean strength in this world huh Ten thousand kilo-pain!!! I yelled out a stupid technique name and stabbed my sword down from above, piercing the head of the goblin like a screw-stick fish ball. Speaking of which, I wonder if they have fish balls here. Thats a must for my meals. I used to stay away from it when I was young, but one time my mom got some from her friend and forced it into my mouth. Yes, indeed. Feeling the sense of enlightenment gushing forth from within me, that day became the day I awaken to fish balls as an addict who must have one or two fish balls in his side dishes. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Ah dammit, my stomach is growling because I suddenly mentioned fish balls Shaking myself from stupid thoughts, I pulled the sword out from the goblins head and cut off its ear to bring back as a proof like the request paper instructed. Yui also trotted towards me with a smile, saying Good job. Looking at the goblins corpse, my body grew lighter, probably due to leveling up, but my heart grew a little bit heavier. Just a tiny little bit, though. So I killed twice already huhwell, not that it matters too much. If I dont kill Ill get myself killed. I kept telling that to myself to prepare for the possibility of killinga person. I dont hope for that day to come too soon, but I definitely already anticipated it to happen Onii-chanyoure making that face again Eh? Oh, ahI was just thinking about stupidthings As I turned back to look at Yui again, I noticed her letting loose a button on her uniform shirt. Yuis humble bosom was revealed slightly and her body odor was also drifting due to being liberated. I felt flustered. When was the last time I saw her bare skin, I wonder. That would be the time before we separated, I guess, since we used to take a bath together when we were small. Though in this case I wont blame Yui for undoing a button because of the goddamn heat, I will definitely blame her being too pretty. I mean, what is that, that white and smooth skin didnt change one bit since she was littlethats quite, um, unfair you see Oh? Fufu, pervy onii-chan~ Spare me that crapyoure the one to blame here Heredo you want to see them in a better angle~ ? HmmI dont hate the offer. But no thanks, now isnt the time Well, fine~ Putting her small tits away from tempting me, Yuis mischievous face returned to normal. In the first place, why the hell did my little sister tempt me with her tits? Well, I guess she was just playing around. That said, I might just be a hentai brother who actually got turned on seeing his little sisters bare chest skin. Well, that aside I confirmed my level, and indeed, it went up drastically again, from 18 to 25. I also confirmed the amount of EXP I got being less than the first Red Goblin. The reason is because this one is smaller, it wielded worse weapon, the fight ended too quick, and my level already went up a lot after the first one. So the concept of EXP stays true to its name, that is the experiences you get during battles. I struggled my ass off against the first Red Goblin, dodging its slashes and attacking it at the same time. But that gave me combat experiences, which was converted to EXP. This second Red Goblin, I ended it in one strike with Yuis help, there wasnt much combat experiences happening so I didnt get as much EXP. When I asked Yui, seemed like she also got to LV.81 under the influence of my skill as my companion. We didnt really know the exact number, but I made a guess that it was about 20~35% of whatever the amount of EXP I got. We moved on to find our next test subject. This time the opponent was quite tough. The Red Goblin was almost as tall as Yui and it wielded an axe, probably looted from dead adventurers somewhere. It was indeed a tough battle of me dodging around and injuring the monster to get its attention while Yui chant fireballs. Yui made some smart moves and hit the monster at where I injured it beforehand and thus dealt more damage to it than normal. On my part, though my kenjutsu is the most shabby shit you would ever see in swordsmanship history, it worked out somehow as an immediate mean to protect myself from being sliced in half instead of the monster. Continuing like that for a while and we took down the huge Red Goblin with me dealing the finishing blow to its neck, decapitating the monster cleanly. Skill Swordsmanship gained enough required EXP, acquired. ********* Author''s Note: A bit of ecchi incest next chapter. I warned you properly in the description, so if I see comments like "WTF is this bullshit?!?!?"...I honestly won''t know what to say anymore hahaha. But to all the wincest fans, this is my first time trying to write brocon/siscon on the level of 18+ so please go easy on me. ********* 1-7. 「First night at an inn 1」 (Summon Arc) Author''s Note: Sorry to cool off your hype, but no forbidden fruit eaten yet, just some light ecchi, can''t really have them have sex out of nowhere. The ecchi continues next chapter also, so don''t fret at the end. ***** 1-7. First night at an inn 1 I submerged myself into the hot bathtub inside a small bathhouse provided by the inn were staying at and let my fatigue ooze out from my ears. That last fight with the big Red Goblin was quite tiring. When you look at it in a linear way, it wasnt even that formidable an opponent. But the problem lied within me having almost no knowledge in how to handle a sword. I have no stances or experience in combat whatsoever. What? Did you actually expect me to be magically able to swing swords professionally the moment Im transferred to an otherworld like some light novel protagonists? Nope. Sorry I got you disillusioned, but thats just bullshit. Real life aint that sweet, and Im just merely a high school student. Ive never used a sword to fight before. That said, it took quite some time to cut down the goblin. It didnt have that much intelligence, but I sucked dick at fighting too much that a mere goblin predicted my movements. Luckily I got Yui supporting me from afar, otherwise, it wouldve taken a lot more time to finish that thing off cleanly. I didnt let Yui use the sword instead of me, despite her level being way above me, because her fireballs dealt more damage, and it also has knock-back effects on collision to stagger the opponent. Besides, fighting this way allows Yui to practice her hidden skill. After that, we were both tired from the prolonged battle, so I decided to return to the kingdom. We took our time and walked back while chatting about various things that seemingly was quite stupid and meaningless. At the Guild, we got some stares because of our weird clothing, unbefitting of adventurers but I ignored it and walked straight up to the counter to turn in the proofs. Turned out the last Red Goblin we slew was a Jack-class monster. It was a special individual who is more intelligent and more endurance in combat. That explained why it was so tiring to kill it with the two of us, though Yui is actually level 81 and her chanting time has gotten shorter and shorter as she got used to it. Incidentally, the rank for strong monsters goes from the lowest Jack, to Queen, King, and lastly, Joker-class is for individuals on the level of a potential Demon Lord. Thanks to that Jack-class Red Goblin, we got 1 gold coin as reward. We also asked the receptionist for recommendations for shelter and restaurant. A modest dinner at a decent family restaurant cost us 3 silver coins, and we rented a single room at an inn near the Guild for 1 silver coin per night, meals not included. I must say were quite lucky to run into that Jack-class Red Goblin. Had we not, we wouldnt have this much spare money to save for emergencies. Looking at how other receptionists count their money, I also learned that 100 copper coins are 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins are one gold coin. Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. Sorting all kinds of new information inside my head, I spaced out in the hot bathtub a little bit and opened my eyes seeing Yui sitting in my lap naked, also spacing out with a satisfying face of having a hot bath. Errwhat? Did I actually sleepwalk and abducted Yui into this bath with me? Did I actually strip her naked and put her in my lap? Has my hentai nature that I myself dont even know about finally gushed forth and took over my consciousness? I am truly confused from the bottom of my heart looking at my little sister sitting inside the hot bath with me, naked. Yes, I repeated myself, because its important. But looking down at her face from this angle is quite fresh. Its been quite a long time since I last looked at Yui while shes deep in sleep. Quite cute isnt she? Succumbing to my urge, I had to poke her cheek and enjoyed the moment before Yui opened her eyes. Onii-chanyoure such a bad boydisturbing peoples sleep What? Im kind of scared of her ability to spit out nonsense while keeping a straight face that literally says Its you who are the weird one here, you know?. First of all, the heck are you doing in here? Second, its super bad to sleep in a hot bath anyway?! Eee! I cant take a bath with my brother? I massaged my temples as I felt a few veins bursting. How old do you think we are? Hey! Youre talking all high and mighty, but look here! Yui wiggled her plump butt and I realized my Excalibur was in high spirit. It was sinking into the soft flesh of Yuis voluptuous ass. Dangerous!!! My dick, I mean, my instincts yelled. If she moved any further it would enter!!! O-Oi?! Thats super dangerous, you lewd little sister!!! Ufufu~ Said the guy who got turned on this hard because of his own sisters naked body Ugh!! I cant say anything against that. The proof against me is too obvious already. Its towering in full spirits for battle, and I can do nothing to make it go away. Thought my mind didnt recognize it, apparently, my body is aroused by Yui. I dont actually understand it, thoughIm really a siscon? Anyways, onii-chans making a stupid face so Ill stop. Ehehe I quietly heaved a long-ass sigh from the bottom of my heart. Had she sat there any longer, it would either make me enter her due to her movements, or I would stepped into a realm of no return that I was unsure of. Yui lifted her butt a little and let my thing poked out from behind her hips. Its not going to go away huh, but I cant even rub it out either, at least not right now, not in front of Yui Chm? Then I suddenly sensed something soft wrapping around my rod gently. This thing slowly moved up and down, stroking my whole meat rod and stimulating my senses. In other words, it was more than just bad or dangerous by now. Now then let Yui get rid of it for you, okay~ ha? I was dumbfounded for the second time as I looked at my little sisters mischievous face. 1-8. 「First night at an inn 2」 (Summon Arc) 1-8. First night at an inn 2 Oi Hm~? Onii-chan doesnt like it? Right now, Im sitting on a bathing chair with Yui kneeling behind me, washing my back with one hand and stimulating my penis with the other one. Just a few minutes ago she declared that shell get rid of my boner for me and forced me into this situation, putting up an excuse that Isnt it good for siblings to get intimate~?. But no matter how you look at it, intimacy between siblings dont get to the point where the little sister rub her brothers penis. I wonderbut I certainly dont feel like I hate itmaybe theres actually something wrong with my head? If thats the case then there must be some loose screws in my head too, dont you think~? Well, if we were born with a strange nature like this, I dont think I can protest. I dont think I have time to whine about me being born a siscon, or Yui being born a brocon, or something like that. At the very least, now isnt the time for that as were stuck in an otherworld where we need to depend on each other to survive. People might say that this is weird and wrong on Earth, but what a shame, were not on Earth. We currently are in a fantasy world, where magic exists, where common senses dont work at all. Thus, in that manner, I see no problem in living true to myself, ourselves. Thinking about such things, I relaxed my shoulders a bit and let Yui do as she please. Noticing me not being stiff anymore, Yui placed her chin on my shoulder, her hands stopped. Do you remember calling me everyday on the telephone during those 8 years? I do. We werent rich enough to afford cellphones Yeah, because I always listened to just your voice, Im confident to say Im the one that knows onii-chans voice best hmthen? You didnt just brag for nothing right? yeah, what Im saying is that, since I know onii-chans voice best, I know how you sound when theres something heavy on your mindspecifically when we were killing monsters back then I seethats why youre doing this? Not entirely~ Without any further clarifications, Yui continued to washed my back, but this time, using her breasts. They were certainly just average size, but I believe that they have potential since Yui is only 16 years old. Clinging to me from behind, Yui rubbed her soft swellings up and down my back. The squishy sensation of her breasts sent heat down my crotch and my thing reacted inside Yuis hands. I wonder how many people would kill to receive this kind of service. I am well aware that among the otaku communities, there are people who yearn for a sticky relationship with a cute little sister. I truly never thought I would be the one person that would receive this from my own little sister. Oiarent your hands a little too skillful? Suspicious. Too suspicious if you ask me. Yui is 16 years old, how can her hands stimulating my penis can be this smooth and good? Dont tell me she tested on another guy somewhere else Fufudont make that face. I watched the porn DVDs you hid underneath your bed~ I wonder why its not one bit convincing, coming from you Mouif you dont believe me, wanna check on my body? I would never get intimate with other guys, you know its fine then. But do note that, even if I wont stop you on your path of love life, a good-for-nothing guy wont be allowed to lay a finger on you Hoh?then how about a hentai brother who got this hard from getting all sticky with his little sister? Hmh. Good question. I think that guys fine This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.Hahawhat a convenient judgementwe need to speed up a bit or well both catch a cold from being in here too long Saying so, Yui pressed her front body against my back even more while playing with my penis using both her hands. I remember her saying that shed get rid of the boner for me, but somehow it turned out that Yuis having her own fun in her own way. Nonetheless, her hands movements are now in serious mode, stroking my rod up and down. With the soapy bubbles mixing with pre-cum coming out from my thing, Yuis hands smoothly gave rise to pleasures from deep within my crotch. I could feel it welling up rapidly without showing any signs of stopping. Ehehe? Its bulgingthey call this cumming in those porn DVDs right~? Indeed, my meat stick is throbbing because Im trying my best to hold it back down to savor more of this slimy sensation stroking me. I never thought there would come a day when I want to keep having my little sister rubbing my penis forever. Her slender fingers already felt great in the first place. On top of that, her inexperienced, yet eager, movements were too stimulating that it added up into the mixture of various pleasures. Among those pleasuresIm pretty sure theres also excitement coming from how demoralizing this is. I think its not wrong to say Im quite a messed up human being for enjoying this. But then again, Id rather being like this and stay true to myself than putting on a stupid mask, acting all hypocritical like some other humans I knew. NMmHmm~ Getting carried away with the moment, Yui began to place her lips on my neck and lightly pecked me here and there. Devoting one hand entirely to whacking me off, Yui used the other hand to played with my balls. This is definitely something done in AVs, I never thought my little sister would pick up these vulgar hand gestures from my own porn DVDs. Hey, its coming Nno-okaylet it out on my hand As I glanced back over my shoulder, Yuis bright red face could be seen resting on my shoulder. She was trying her best to hold back her coquettish breathing. Before long, Yuis hand that was playing with my balls was nowhere to be found again. Im guessing that she was touching herself, but that was just a speculation and I had no reason at all to voice a question. Of course, being stroked like that made me soon reach my limits. The moment pleasures burst out from my uretha, Yui covered the head of my penis with her hand and received the syrupy liquid in her palm. Mnn~ ! Nhaa ! Haah At the same time, I felt her body clinging to be from the back slightly trembled. On my side, due to not having the stimulation kept up, my thing withered after blowing a big load on Yuis hand. Its really hotand thick Staring at the white lump in her hand, Yui licked it a little and her face turned even redder than it originally was. S-Sothis is how onii-chantastes likeo-okay Wash your hands and lets get out of here. We stayed too long already Y-Yes It wasnt because I tried to avoid going any further, but I was worried that we would catch a cold staying in this moistened place. As people who fought monsters to keep their daily lives going, falling to illness would be the absolutely last thing we want to deal with. Having washed our bodies away from the bubbles, we dried ourselves up with Yuis pyrokinesis and returned to our rented room from the public bathhouse. ********* Author''s Note: They''ll pick that up later, not gonna just go all the way yet. Also, thank you for some positive ratings, is this what they call "Started from the bottom and now we here" ? XD ********* 1-9. 「Starting life as adventurers」 (Summon Arc) 1-9. Starting life as adventurers Beams of lights shone through the window gaps. Sensing the brilliant light through my eyelids, my body told me that its already morning, and that I should get my ass off the bed for morning exercise. Then prepare breakfast and something for lunch before going to school oh. Thats right As I opened my eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling, felt an unfamiliar bed below my back, I came to notice that right now Im not on Earth. There is no need to go to school. In fact, those people from school are the ones that pushed me into this situation. But isnt that a good thing? I dont have to receive hostile gazes and deal with the nosy bitches anymore. This is a morequiet life, if I do say so myself. Nn seems like she worked hard Glancing over to Yui, whos using my arm as a pillow in addition to the pillow were sharing, her defenseless sleeping face came into view. In this world, where Level and Magic exist, naturally, magical power also exist. That said, when Yui used her hidden skill to invoke her pyrokinesis ability, it consumed magical power. Yesterday she used it quite a lot to back me up during fights with the goblins. Though I dont know exactly how strong a level 81 person like Yui is, I do think that she was quite drained using that skill so much. hn Oi hnn What the hell are you doing, poking out your lips? With her eyes still closed, Yui held out her lips, tempting me for a kiss. Honestly, if she made it a bit more natural, I wouldve fallen for it. But too bad it was so obvious that I lost interests. Dummy onii-chanbeing all stingy with your sister even with just a morning kiss Its your fault for impatiently making it obvious. Anyways, lets go back to the Guild today Saying so, I got up and started preparing and changing clothes to go to the Adventurer Guild. Though this inn the Guild suggested was decently cheap, I still rent one single room instead of two separate ones. It wasnt because I was stingy, but partly because Yui wanted to share a room, and partly because its easier to defend ourselves when were together. If something came up, we couldve worked together and protect each other more effectively than each using a separate room. I went to sleep with a collar shirt and my school uniform pants, so I only needed to put on the jacket and I was good to go. But when I glanced over to Yui, who finally sat up and got off the bed, she was stark naked. Oi. Whats with sleeping naked? What if there was an intruder? Eh? Ufufucould it be that you dont want anyone else see my naked body~? She asked me with a playful smile, attempting to tease me again. But this time Of course. Do I have any reason to let other people see my little sister naked? W-What if its my boyfriend? If he survives my interrogation before going out with you then fine by me Yui froze on the spot, pouting and sulking at the same time saying things like dummy!, but she obediently began to put on clothes, of course, starting with her undies. Yesterday we took a bath together and did all those things, but Yui was behind me the whole time so I didnt really see all of her body. Now that shes changing right in front my very eyes, I had the chance to take a good look and my little sister, who I have not seen naked in a very long time already. Aside from her humble bust, the fine curve cutting in at her waist would take any man away easily. That isnt all, the moment the curves went down towards her butt, they drew out beautifully wide arcs, defining her voluptuous buttocks. On top of all that, her snow-white skin with some slight glimpses of the blood veins was more than stunning enough. A strange impulse urged me and I spaced out, staring at the beautiful body of my little sister. Hyan! O-Onii-chan? Hm? What? At Yuis voice, I regained my consciousness and let out a stupid voice. Not until I saw Yuis deep red face that I noticed my behaviors. Feeling something soft and squishy in the palm of my left hand, I lowered my line of vision. There, a hand that comes from my wrist, which came from my elbow that came from my shoulder, was grabbing Yuis left butt cheek. Even as Im trying to process the situation right now, that hand still moved around subtly, enjoying the sensation. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Uht-this is Yui averted her eyes and mumbled something I couldnt hear. ******************************************************************************* Walking the busy streets towards the Guild, Yui is still pouting at me. What happened to the girl that played with her brothers penis last night? T-T-That was different!! How come? I smiled sadistically and pressed the question with devilish eyes. Yuis face turn red again as she pinched my sides, stuttering: B-Because I was preparedb-but this morningo-onii-chan g-grabbed my butt suddenly I have a feeling if I try to tease her any more than this, steams would start coming out from her head, so I curved the flow of the conversation to something else and we chatted while walking towards the Guild. But that was surely strange on my side. I seemed to lost consciousness for that moment, but I certainly remembered approaching Yui and laid my hand on her butt. Agreed that they looked pretty charming and tempting to touch, but normally I have more self-control than that. I guess the things happened in the bathroom last night flipped some kind of switch inside my head, or at least it opened up a dam that held me down all this timeI think. You know, that was the first time I touched a womans ass Au ******************************************************************************* Nameageprimary weapondone. Finishing the application, I handed 2 silver coins over to the receptionist lady, one for me and one for Yui. It was the fee to register as an official adventurers here at the Guild. The Adventurer Guild is an independent organization that have branches at a lot of places within human territories. They are not under the direct control of any kings or rulers, thats why I can ease my mind a little about the possibility that those shitty bastards at the royal palace would fuck my life up through messing with the Guild. I also find it funny that the language mainly used here is Japanese. I mean, why? Why isnt it English or some kind of lost runes, but Japanese? But I guess anything is possible when its a parallel universe, an otherworld. Congratulations, you have officially become an Adventurer belongs to the Guild. Would you two like to set up a party also? Ah yes please, and thank you Since the last fight yesterday with the Jack-class Red Goblin, I became level 35, and thats more than enough to join the Guild. The receptionist lady was dumbfounded when she checked Yuis level with her crystal ball, seeing the number 82. Speaking of which, seems like the number on our left chest can be shown on any other places depends on our references, it can also be faked, thats why the Guild must check with their own equipment for those who registered for the first time. Becoming adventurers means we can now take on official requests that have high rewards and the Guild will also take responsibility if the real situation was different than what was written in the requests. Of course, I dont plan to settle my life as a mere adventurer risking my life everyday to secure money for my daily basic needs. Thats no different than the dull life I had before the transportation to this world. I have a cheat-like ability to make use of, so I am going to try my best to make the best out of it and enjoy my life, even though I might have to give up on trying to come back to Earth. The origin for my current inner conflicts lies in whether I even want to return to Earth or not. Well, before that time comes where I have to decide, Ill just try my best to live in this new world. Naturally, I will pay attention to these problems and give them some thoughts whenever I have the time to. The first step to solve a problem is to admit that there is one, running away from it doesnt help. Settling myself with such decisions, I walked towards the request boards and discussed with Yui what kind of request should we take on today. ********* Author''s Note: That''s the end of the first Arc. Next chapter would kick off the second Arc. And be patient folks, I ain''t dragging the relationship of the siblings out endlessly. ********* 2-1. 「Months of progress」 (Demon Tribe Arc) 2-1. Months of progress Half a year after the summon of the Heroes at Kriste Kingdom, yes, that means half a year after those heroes kicked this poor mans ass out of their castle, their fame and popularity rose exponentially. Apparently, the Demon Lord is dominating the Northern lands, where ice and snow reign over. But thats not all, a vast area of plains between Kriste and those freezing lands is also ruled by the Demon Lord. During these past few months, under the training and support of the royalty, the group of summoned Heroes pushed the demons back to the far North quite considerably. The newspaper every morning was flooded with their heroic efforts and overwhelming achievements. Heh. Cant believe theres propaganda in this world But to my eyes, it all looked like fancy fairy tales the royalty of this country made up and painted colorfully to gain the peoples trust. The reason I thought so, is because I saw my schoolmates once or twice on the streets and they didnt look all that happy. As a matter of fact, their face looked terrible. I wonder what happened. Onii-chan, do you think they will be okay? Closing the newspaper in my hands, I finished my cup of tea, staring out to the far distance beyond the window of the inn and answered Yuis question: WellI say they would be OK. As long as theyre still clinging to the faint hope of return to Earth, theyll be strong enough though that faint hope seemstoo faint. But anyhow, if they defeated the Demon Lord, theyll surely be able to manage something to go back to Earth. When that time come, I might have to make some choices, both for my sake and Yuis sake. In any case, theres no problem for me staying behind at this world for good, Im just a little worried about Yui Jeezyoure making that face again Hm? Ah. Im just thinking about some things And those things are? I have no reason to lie to Yui. In fact, if I lied, shell notice my voice and itll just worry her even more. Making Yui feels anxious would absolutely be the last thing I want right now. This situation doesnt allow me to be selfishly paranoid and accidentally drag Yui into it with me. That said, I told the truth: I was thinking about how should we proceed if we actually find a way homethough I dont know if I can even call that place home Truly, I dont know if its even a good idea for myself to return to Earth. I mean, I have a cheat ability in this world, I can manage well enough to live a comfortable life if I put in enough seriousness and efforts. onii-chans overthinking again. Yuis gonna follow you anywhere yknow? Yeah, Ill take your words for that. Now then, lets go to the Guild Yeah~ ***************************************************************************** Ogres huhthey became too easy for us now that it almost didnt give any EXP at all Thats because onii-chans too high level! I still have a little bit of EXP fighting Ogres Going through the southern gate of Kriste Kingdom, we walked towards Esanore Forest. Normally it would take half an hour of walking to arrive at the forest. That wasnt really a problem though, since our levels are high, we have a lot of stamina. With my hidden skill Rapid Leveling, these past few months, we made some incredible progress in leveling up ourselves. I myself, by just fighting monsters from simple requests, got to level 175, and Yui got to level 100 under the influence of my skill as something like a party member. Though it went really fast at first, right now its super slow, because the EXP I got from monsters, even after being multiplied by Rapid Leveling, is still too low to push my level to any new heights. In fact, Im already stuck at around 25%. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. In addition, the skill Swordsmanship I acquired also receive a ton of EXP from me repeatedly using it. Then when it finally hit 100% of the EXP required to level up to LV.11, it evolved to skill Swords Master, giving me even more knowledge on how to handle a sword efficiently. Naturally, it also became a lot harder to level since its already on a completely different league of its own. Appraise is so hard to level Isnt that just natural? Its a really convenient skill after all The method of acquiring a skill is quite basic for someone who used to play a lot of fantasy MMORPGs in the past. You simply repeat an action over and over again, as many times as you can, until the time when you become really good at it and youll acquire a skill for that specific action. For instance, if you keep on swinging down the sword from above your head repeatedly, youll soon acquire something like a one slash kill skill. But for me, I have Rapid Level, the EXP I got every time I perform an action is multiplied by 200. Thats why even when I was fighting with shitty swordsmanship half a year ago, it was still counted as me attempting to learn the sword, thus EXP was multiplied and I acquired skill Swordsmanship. Then by using it again and again to fight monsters, after about 6 months, I arrived at myself now, Swords Master skill holder. During these past few months, I learned various things from other adventurers we cooperated with and succeeded in acquiring a few more skills for my own. For example, there was a person who taught me how to distinguish edible herbs from poisonous ones, and there was also a person who taught me how to judge equipment as bad or good. From people like that, I practiced together with Yui and we acquired skill Appraise. Yes, Yuis EXP for skill leveling is also under the influence of my hidden skill, though not as much as I get from myself. Though that being the case, its indeed easier said than done as this skill is super hard to level, because not everything can be appraised normally. Some items were protected with magic, or monsters that had skills to hide their identity. But we surely are making progress in trying to level up this Appraise skill. How about your set of fire-attribute magic? Ah, Im using them equally, so almost all of them are on LV.6 now Heh~ Remind me not to try to anger you then. Dont exactly wanna become grilled meat yet maybe I should really just grill onii-chan for saying stupid things all the time Hohoho. Do you think you can lay your hands on this cute oniyikes!! That burned you you what? youcute little sister of mine? hmph Turning her head, Yui continued walking while pouting. This young woman who is my little sister has become a lot scarier because she figured out how to control fire in various ways and acquired a whole set of spells. She can shoot fireballs, rain flaming-hail, or even heat beams nowadays. There was a molester who tried to mess with Yui when she was going out to buy me fish ballswell, that guy became a barbeque main dish As we continued walking while talking about meaningless stuffs, I suddenly felt peaceful deep inside. Our everyday life has been more quiet, yet full of bliss more than ever before. But I guess my timing was just terrible, when we ran right into them just before arriving at the edge of Esanore Forest. ********* Author''s Notes: Beginning of the 2nd Arc. I do want to focus a bit more on the story, so you won''t encounter a sex scene every 2 chapters or something like that. Sorry if I disappointed some of the [18+] seekers haha... ********* 2-2. 「Unexpected meeting」 (Demon Tribe Arc) 2-2. Unexpected meeting Oh? What have we here? ! ! Yami Seeing me and Yui, the 2-A class rep. bitch immediately switched to her scornful look and gazed at us with disgusted eyes. Hiroshi, the male basketball team captain, was about to call out to us, but stopped himself mid-way, hanging his head in dejection. Ah, I think hes still bothered by that time when I was kicked out. I hope he gets over it, because I certainly didnt mind it. We werent any kind of blood-sworn brothers or something, so he shouldnt keep being like that whenever he faces me, we might have to go against each other in the future, who knows. Yui, lets go o-okay Yui was reluctant to just go past that expedition of heroes exiting the forest, but at my words, she obediently turned her heels and followed me. It wouldve been all good if everything ended just like that. But apparently the 2-A bitch that I dont even know her name didnt intend to just pass by each other. Hey, wheres your manners. Respect the heroes who are keeping your head away from the demons Oh, hi. Now, bye! I gave a peace sign and immediately peaced out, but the bitch suddenly appeared in front of me with her sword outside its sheath. I heaved a sigh and pretended to make a surprised face. I made it fucking obvious that I was screwing with her and wasnt taking her seriously, but the bitch was thinking with her pussy instead of her brain and smirked. Dont be so surprised, this is the difference between noble heroes and trash, you see Yeah yeah, Im so scared, please spare my dick, uwaaaaa (monotone) The bitchs face twisted as she grasped her sword more tightly, her silver armor glittered brilliantly under the sunlight. Judging from her equipment and stance, she was well trained by people that know whats up, not just some random soldiers. Hey, Shinomiya-san! Thats enough! Hiroshi called out from afar, but his words didnt reach her ears, not even close. As I stole a glance back at my schoolmates, all of them either looked other ways or straight up left the place at their own convenience. They didnt have any kind of deception magic, so it was quite easy to appraise them with my skills. Most of them are around level 82, a few others, including Hiroshi and this 2-A bitch Shinomiya, were on the 90s. Their equipment was cuts above the Knight-dude. That means my Ten thousand lovely kicks wont work on themor so I wanted to conclude butthis time, its a fight between level 90 and level 175. I can only sigh, imagining the outcome of this meaningless fight. Hey, I told you to go die, right? Why are you still here? Cause I have no obligation whatsoever to listen to your trash-talking? Watch your words, trash and noble heroes are different Yup. Thats true, its different for me whos an adventurer and for you whos a hypocrite slut The moment those words left my mouth, the shiny orihalcum blade of her sword swung at my neck with half the speed of sound. It wasnt a threat, the bitchs head was screwed up enough to tried dealing a blow that would surely decapitate me on the spot. Yup, it was a splendid one hit kill strike. whoops ! ? ! ? Yare yare, I thought, leaning my head backwards a few centimeters and dodge the blood-thirsty blade by a hair. Agreed that her sword skills were splendid, it was just the matter of me being way stronger than her in every way possible. With skill Sword Master, my perceptive vision was boosted greatly to follow the movements of my own sword. Thats why her sword looked like a slow motion video clip to me, though if I were a commoner, my head would have flown in half a second. When I glanced to my side, Yui was smiling while humming. She seemed to be enjoying me showing off my flashy skills. Yui definitely knew there is zero chance for this bitch to win against me right now, I can one hit kill 3 Ogres after all If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. As the bitch was surprised by my dodge from her sword, she immediately jumped back a few steps and put up a stance with almost no opening. Very good reflexes, I can understand why shes highly valued among the hero army. Shes always on the newspaper as the idol of the heroes group. However, thats all. Good reflexes can help her fight demons, splendid swordsmanship will keep herself alive long enough to improve and fight stronger demons. But against a cheat existence like myself, who got his skills polished rapidly during these past few months, it becomes a simple unfair fight. Well, that said, I wont go easy on people who openly insulted me, blame fate if you think this is a one-sided fight. Now then, my turn, no? Dont think a lucky dodge from a piece of shit like you can win against me! Yeah, I cant win against you, because if I did try to win, your head wouldve been on the ground already Let me teach your arrogant attitude a lesson!!! The bitch dashed towards me with incredible speed. The crowd of my other schoolmates became noisy, but nobody ever voiced an objection. Wait, what? I saw a lot of people leaving without even looking, but there are still quite a lot of people staying behind to watch this? Well, not that it matters, Ill show them some of my sword skills that I used to warm up in the morning too. I made a simple side step and dodged her sword by a hair again, but the blade suddenly changed its path, aiming for my head for the second time. Hero Arts ? Feint Cut!!! Ah, so the first strike was a feint, but it was also a one hit kill technique of its own. This thing called Hero Arts is quite scary isnt it. Should I end it in one knock on her head? Or should I place the sword on her forehead? No wait, maybe I should just tear her clothes apart and get a good meal for my eyes?! OH!! That was genius!! Good job, me!! Onii-chan~ please refrain yourself from doing unnecessary things, okaaay~ ? Yuis sugar sweet voice pierced my spine from top to bottom. I could almost swear I could see fire dancing around her cute smiling face even if I didnt look at her. Tsk. Lets just threaten the bitch then Keeping on dodging the deadly slashes of Shinomiya, I chose a simple move from all the sword techniques I had in my head and took a look at her. Her face was burning with confusion and anger. You didnt expect the guy who was level 1 several months ago to be dancing around like this, did you? Right. Without yelling the name of my techniqueTHIS should do it!!! I abruptly stopped my step and turned my body 90 degrees. Having her target disappear from her aiming field threw the bitch off and she lost balance, destroying her posture, making her fall forward head first towards the ground. Kyaa!!! Taking advantage of such opportunity, I thrust out my hand from the opposite direction of her fall and grabbed her neck. Without using even 1/5 of my strength, I lifted the girl up high to the sky with one hand. Being the tallest male student in the school proved beneficial in situations like this, where I can just hold the 2-A class rep. girl, whos only around 160cm tall, up in the air. Guuh! Kuuletmekuugo *Sigh*nice try indeed. But next time, dont just blindly come at your enemy like thatyou wont even know when you died Finishing my speech that I made up to try to act all cool and badass, I threw the bitch. She rolled on the ground and arrived at Hiroshis feet. ********* Author''s Notes: They''ll meet again in the future, so this little quarrel will end here. Also, a little bit of insights about the MC and magic: this wasn''t mentioned in the actual chapters, but Yami did try to learn magic from Yui, problem is that she has a hidden skill so the way she uses magic couldn''t be applied for Yami, thus he''ll get his hands on magic a bit later on. ********* 2-3. 「Ruckus inside the forest 1」 (Demon Tribe Arc) 2-3. Ruckus inside the forest 1 Onii-chan was going too easy on her, werent you? Walking through the trees, we entered a bit deeper into the forest to look for the monsters we needed to subjugate. After that quarrel, I didnt feel the need to stay for any further trouble, so I walked away, ignoring the dumbfounded faces of my schoolmates. The bitch named Shinomiya took a bit of time to get back on her feet, so by the time she stood back up again, Ive already left. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with those people at the moment so I didnt stay. Its a pain in the ass. To Yuis question, I simply smiled wryly: You see, I intended to use a sword technique there without a sword. But in the end she was too weak I didnt really use it I intended to use my hand to chop on her neck, imitating the blade cutting her head. But her posture was destroyed so badly when I made that 90 degree turn that I couldve inflicted some serious injuries on her even if it was just my hand. As a matter of fact, attracting more hostility from those Heroes is the last thing I want right now. But they actually became quite strong didnt they Yeah, they can pretty much smash a human country right now Judging from how that bitch Shinomiya from class 2-A could aim for my head twice like that, its no laughing matter when a monster with low intelligence or a common human fights against her. Theyll definitely be killed within seconds. Even if other people arent as high level as her, their equipment and levels are still cuts above commoners, or any other normal soldiers a human kingdom can afford. Solely because of the Level system where it would take years for a person to level up to 40, much less 80 or 90. But that is none of my business right now, simply because Im already leaving them too far behind, in terms of level and strength. And Im sure as hell that I wouldve progressed even further by the time they caught up to the current me. Hm? What was that noise just now? YeahI heard something too Still walking towards where we needed to go, some strange noises from afar raised our awareness and we slowed down our pace for the sake of being careful. It wasnt the familiar rustling sounds of leaves on the trees, but it was the sounds of footsteps and heavy breathing. Onii-chantheres more than just one Thats right, but One of them wasnt human. Though I could only vaguely sense their presences, they were still too far away for me to fully identify them. But by the sound of those footsteps, one of them was an animal, if not a wild monster. As the footsteps got closer, I was able to identify the source more clearly. It was definitely an animal-like monster and a human, or at least a humanoid being. The reason why I said that was because, though the footsteps were that of how a human runs, the presence that being gave off didnt contain humanity. Maybe some kind of demi-human like ogres? Onii-chan!! Got it!! I pulled out my sword and kicked the ground, separating from Yui to spread out a simple but effective combat formation. The footsteps got louder and louder as it got closer by every passing minute. A drop of sweat rolled down my back because the presences approaching us felt different than anything we ever encountered before. We couldve run, but that also carried the risk of being pursued. The opponent was an animal, it couldve changed its path towards us if we ran and made noises, so the best solution I could think of right now, is to hide ourselves temporarily and prepare for battle. Then at the peak of tension, something burst out from behind a bush. (Uwaaa theyre bouncing!!!) It was a young woman, a beautiful one with long, violet hair, running with all her might. Her face was beautiful but blood already ran from it as shes been running for quite a while already. Her choice of clothing was somethingtribal? Yeah, that kind of clothing is clearly tribal. Could it be that shes from a tribe from deep within the forest? There are actually humans living inside Esanore Forest? Anyway, as the beauty ran frantically with heavy panting, her legs reached their limits and gave out. She stumbled over a big rock and fell, rolling on the ground. Kyaa!! Sprawling on the ground without any strength left to pick herself up, the girl had a face that literally said this is it and put on a desperate smile. The bizarre scene was exactly like those survival movies I saw on TV. No, it looks more like a shounen anime where the protagonist ran into a dead end before a buff came out from nowhere. The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Wait a minute, should I really be reminiscing about anime right now? Because Im pretty sure a fucking huge black wolf just jumped out from that same bush, rushing straight towards the woman. Tsk!! That couldve been some kind of sweet trap set up by the enemies to lure me into fighting that wolf and surround me when I was busy fighting it. But, I cant just stay behind and watch her going into the wolfs stomach, either. The hopeless creature called man inside me didnt allow my legs to rest at where I was hiding. Thinking so, I kicked the ground and dashed out of the bush, running with all I got towards the monster approaching with high speed from the opposite direction. *Sigh*I dont care anymore!! I think I heard Yuis complaint, but I went anyway. Noticing me, the black wolf, three times the size of a big German shepherd, sped up and bared its fangs, trying to kill the girl before I could reach her. However, my level was high, I was fast enough to take one step sooner, landing a half-ass upper cut-slash with my sword in point blank range. My posture wasnt right, so the blow didnt deal full damage. Instead, it just knocked the wolf up a bit and sent it rolling a few meters away. The monster soon regained its vigor and stood up, staggering from the impact. Yui Yes, I cant appraise its level either Must be a high-leveled monster The young woman I just saved was dumbfounded. She was staring at me intensely with her mouth opened. I noticed her gaze, but ignored it for the moment and focused on the wolf, letting Yui, who already ran to her side, protect the woman with her flame barrier. Readying my sword, I got into a stance and prepared to deal with the monster in front of me. I knew for sure that my chances of winning werent that high anymore, since the monster probably has higher level than me. Due to that fact, my Appraise skill, which was still low-leveled, couldnt identify it fully. The only thing I knew about the monster is that it was an Elder Shadow Wolf, and its strong. Before the wolf fully recovered from my previous hit, I closed up the distance between us immediately, this didnt take even 3 seconds. Surprised by my sudden attack, the wolf tried to dodge my sword. It was certainly a smart move to dodge to the side but not stepping back, because I couldve pressed it into further retreat if it took a step backwards. However, my sword wasnt that simple. Within a second, the path of how my sword drew an arc changed smoothly but not abruptly. At the end of that change in sword-path, I landed a clean slash on the wolfs left shoulder. I knew I had an abysmal sense of skill-naming, so I didnt even bother to yell out some random skill names. Gruuuuhhhhhh!!!!! The monster let out an agony shriek, shedding blood from the huge wound on its shoulder. The cut in its flesh was caused by one of my sword techniques, brought to me by the skill Sword Master that I possessed. Not missing the big opportunity of my opponent losing its composure, I immediately ran forward and raised my sword over my head. I had a feeling a normal finisher skill just wont cut it against this thing, so I went over the top and used one of my strongest one hit kill techniques at the moment. Perfect Crescent It was a name provided by default when I got the skill Sword Master. Yup, I didnt name it, I can never name a skill that well, for your information. As the name suggested, my sword drew a perfect arc, just like a moon crescent, from above my head as I swung it down with all my might. The blade moved in a speed that humans perception just cannot catch up at all even if they had boosting skills. Except for high-level boosting skills, that is. Not being able to utter a single groan, the monster was bisected in half, perfectly symmetry. The Elder Shadow Wolf collapsed as its forehead split, blood and brains could be seen falling apart. Taking out a cheap handkerchief from my pocket, I wiped the blood from my sword and my leather armor. I bought these armor with money earned from being an adventurer. Then I wiped the drops of blood on my face and turned back to the girls. 2-4. 「Ruckus inside the forest 2」 (Demon Tribe Arc) 2-4. Ruckus inside the forest 2 *stares* how about letting us know who you are? After a few minutes of a staring festival, no, staring competition against the woman I just saved, I broke the silence. Damn, I think Im a sore loser, she just won against me in a staring contest despite being a complete stranger, and I cant say I dont feel upset about that. Well, Ill blame her beauty. Its your fault to be beautiful that made me lose, so when I take my revenge on you, you can just blame your beauty. Yup, that sounds like a fine excuse. A-Ah! I-Im sorry Are you not hurt anywhere? Y-Yes, I am healthy Good. Im Ya Mid-way through my introduction, I stopped myself from using my real name. This name Yami sounds like a completely chuunibyou name. I have no idea what my parents were thinking, but this name brought me miseries. Kids in middle school, and even high school, would make fun of my name all the time. Well, Im not saying that I hold any grudge against my parents or anything of such. But until now, Ive developed a sense of discontent regarding my real name. um, I mean, my names Cromwell Uwaaa. How the hell did I come up with that name? Wait, I think I know, it was from a novel I read online last year. The protagonist was some kind of Count in a fantasy world, so I thought his name sounds kind of coolprobably. C-Cromwell-san, is ity-yes, Im Serenemy tribe is inside this forest Oh? Human tribes actually manage to live inside this forest?! U-Umm, err, I-Im not human In contrast to her timid voice, the contents of her words seemed to slam into our ears. Me and Yui stared at the beautiful violet-haired woman without being able to utter a single word. ****************************************************************************** Shithow close are we? U-Um, it should be right ahead soon! Carrying Serene on my back, I ran with all my might. Due to me being Level 178 after defeating that big wolf, my speed increased again, and by no means my original speed at Level 175 was anywhere near to be slow. Ive always been able to run as fast as a car. Right now were heading straight to Serenes tribe. Whats more surprising is that, its a demon tribe, of all things. We were utterly surprised at first, to the point we became wary. But according to Serene, her tribe is unrelated to the demon lord. If one were to compare this piece of information with what was written in books, hed find it plausible. I spent some time reading in the public library of Kriste Kingdom and found out that, the Demon Lord doesnt have any share in whats outside of his territories. Originally, demon-race live in the Underworld. But then old generations of demon lords moved to the ground and claimed lands, creating their own settlements. In addition to that, there were demons who came to the mortal world just because of the overpopulation depression down at the Underworld. Those demons later on formed independent tribes where other races cant really reach them on a daily basis. I compared those information to Serenes words and concluded that she wasnt the enemy that Kriste Kingdom was trying to fight, simply because the Demon Lords territory is at the far north. Plus, my guts told me that she wasnt lying or trying to deceive us. It wasnt officially confirmed or anything, but I just felt that she wasnt our enemy. Heck, even Yui, who has quite good eyes for people, is relaxed around Serene. So I guess thats all well and good. As for why are we heading for Serenes tribe deep inside the dangerous forest, according to her: I beg you!!! Please help my tribe!!! We were attacked by the Elder Shadow Wolves out of nowhere!!! There isnt anyone who can fight them like you did. P-Please, Ill do anything!!! I was seriously troubled, because I want none of this hassle. Its more of a headache than something like an honor to help a beautiful woman. I mean, my lifes already miserable enough that God even somehow miraculously gave me a cheat ability to get by. Dipping my butt into more troubles is the last thing I want. Arghbut I guess Im Japanese after allthe typical type of modern people who feel difficult to say no. I dont think I should just completely get rid of the good guy inside me, but I need to say no more from now on. Going out of my way to hit my head into problems isnt my way of living my life at all. This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. Sounding hypocritical as it may, coming from a guy who hangs out with gangs and troublesome people from the back alleys for some kind of pseudo part-time job, I genuinely dont like hogging troubles to myself. You people better have fish balls ready to compensate me after this F-Fish balls? W-What is it? Catching my murmur, Serene asked with a confused voice while squeezing me tightly from behind, closing her eyes due to the speed I was running with. Yui, on the other hand, was sending some balls-freezing glances at us with a perfectly cute smile. Hey! At least understand that if she didnt cling to me she wouldve fallen off the track! That reminds me, weve been doing some pretty bold things these past few months. By we, I meant me and Yui, weve been getting all sticky and intimate in a quitesexual way lately. Though I can proudly puff out my chest and say that Im seriously some kind of fucked up human being that came to enjoy sexual experiences with my blood-sibling, I cant help but wonder why and how. Im not too sure, but for some strange reasons, we havent crossed that line yet. Meaning that Yuis only been using her hands, or sometimes mouth, to play with me. I also did touch her here and there, but none of us ever initiated to go all the way yet. Is it because were not quite that messed up yet, I wonder? No, Im sure well arrive there soon. We both knew that day would come, because its been harder and harder for me to endure not pushing Yui down. Im quite sure its the same for Yui who endured not to ride me forcefully. It was pretty clearly shown on her facial expressions. T-There! We can barely see my tribe! Ahso thats a demon tribe huh For some reasons, Im quite excited to find out whats a demon tribes like. I guess Im just another curious teenage boy whos addicted to the thrills of exploring the unknowns. Onii-chan, there are a lot of those wolves around Yeah, I felt their presences, too. Serene, what was the condition of the tribe before you ran? U-Umm, we somehow managed to barricade in the central hut and not get ourselves killed, but it was turning worse and worse, so I decided to sneak out and run to seek help from other tribesbut then that one wolf discovered me and chased me all the way I see. I dont know if this can be called Gods bless, since Serenes a demon-race, but she was extremely lucky to run into me in the middle of this vast forest. If I wasnt there, she wouldve been lunch for that wolf. After less than a minute, we finally arrived at the tribe we were looking for. The situation was quite terrible, their huts were crushed, dead bodies were found everywhere in half-eaten state. I could feel Serene trembling on my back. She was probably holding her screams and tears in, too. Quite a strong-willed woman, Id say. Otherwise, she would have cried and shrieked out loud by now. Not showing any signs of stopping, I jumped and kicked the ruins that used to be fences and the gate. With my kick, the path was cleared, so we advanced straight into the settlement. Indeed, in the center of the tribe was a pack of gigantic black wolves. They were surrounding a single hut, easily the biggest one around. That must be the barricade Serene talked about. Without wasting any more time, I pulled out my sword with one hand while supporting Serenes butt with the other so she wouldnt fall off my back. I must say though, she has quite a sexy and plump butt. Yui cant quite be compared to hernot just yet. Obviously because Serene is older, shes a grown onee-san, not a 16 year old teenage girl like my little sister. Shaking the lewd thoughts aside, I jumped into the party at the middle of Serens demon tribe, marking the beginning of a troublesome festival. ********* Author''s Note: I''d say a Level 65+ person can smash a stone wall barehanded. If one is Level 175 like Yami, they''ll be close to Superman in terms of pure physical strength, but not that close. Then why are humans are still alive when those wolves in the forest are too strong? Simply because the wolves live way deep in the center of the forest where no humans can reach. The reason why they appear at the demon tribe instead of where they live? That''s spoilers so I won''t tell. Also, about the reason behind why the King kicked Yami out right away, sometimes you might have underestimated a clich idea. :D ********* 2-5. 「Ruckus inside the forest 3」 (Demon Tribe Arc) 2-5. Ruckus inside the forest 3 Diving into the fray, I slashed at the nearest wolf, injuring its flank. Immediately, the whole pack of wolves turned their attention to me. First, I need to get Serene back into that big hut so she doesnt get in the way of me fighting the wolves. In order for her to be safe in there with her people, I need to attract the attention of all the wolves as much as possible. Thats why I have Yui with me. Quickly forming a bunch of fireballs, Yui shot them to the wolves closest to the hut. She fired so fast it didnt feel like she chanted at all. Naturally, those wolves got pissed off and turned their heads back to us. This is by no means an easy situation. That wolf I fought to save Serene was taken care of quickly because we were one-on-one with me having the advantage of surprised attack. Right now, its an open battle where the two of us versus around 20 of those wolves, each of them isnt any weaker than the earlier wolf. If I let my guards down, Ill be consumed by their rapid attacks right away. But right now I cant go all out yet, not with Serene still on my back. So we needed to open a path to the central hut. Without needing to give out any words of instructions, I kept dash forward while Yui stayed behind and chanted a big spell. Rain, Seeds of Levara! As Yuis voice was heard, bright red spheres of flame fell from the sky. They didnt look like they carried any weight, but they fell with incredible speed. No, far from just falling, theyre flying down from above together with gravity. Each of them locked onto a targeted wolf, and the moment one touches a wolf, red flames burst out and created an explosion directly on their bodies. Gruuuuuuhhh!!! Greeeekkk!!! Creating strange groaning sounds, the pack of wolves staggered and fell on the ground temporarily because of the impact of those explosions. But that isnt a really good sign, since those spheres were one of Yuis strongest AoE attacks, yet they just got a little dizzy but not dead. However, if its solely for the purpose of holding them down while I move, then its already more than enough room created. Not missing that chance Yui gave me, I sprinted and arrived at the central hut in just a few seconds. I put Serene down and made sure that she went into the hut to hide. P-Please wait! I-I can use some magic, m-maybe I should help after all Nah, you saw my little sister, she could use that kind of magic, so just go hide B-But!! Geez just get in there, woman!! I pushed her inside the hut and closed the door. That moment, I sensed blood thirst coming for my booty in the immediate tick of time. Uwhoa!! Turning back, a huge black wolf was pouncing at me with full strength. I used my sword to block its fangs from digging right into my neck. Its in life and death situations like this that I want to thank God for giving me Rapid Leveling. Without the physical strength as Im having right now, there was zero chance I wouldve survived that pounce just now. This is the first time in a while I felt cold sweat running down my spine. This kind of monster must be around level 190~210, if not higher, for it to have so much physical prowess. At the same time with when I was struggling with this wolf, two other ones rushed towards Yui and leaped at her. However, unfortunately for them, Yuis heat barrier is near absolute when she invokes and maintains it for only 2 seconds of collision. That said, the moment the wolves arrived at her range, a red half-sphere appeared, covering Yui like a dome. Hitting their heads into that barrier grilled those two wolves into outdoor BBQ immediately. The two wolves fell down to the ground with their corpses all burnt thoroughly as the red half-sphere disappeared from Yuis vicinity. This is where the flaw of this barrier comes in. Onii-chan!! GotitguuhHAAAAH!!! Mustering up all the strength I had, I kicked the wolf in its balls hanging indecently in the middle of its crotch. The poor creature immediately jumped and lied on the ground, twitching around. Taking that chance, I immediately ran towards Yui, now completely defenseless. Yuis heat barrier is still low level. It consumes a lot of magical power and it weighs on the user, rendering them immobile on the spot for a brief minute. The barrier was made as a skill that can be maintained indefinitely on the battle field, a nearly game-breaking magical barrier of the Nature-Magic system. Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. However, the barrier itself is a very high-leveled technique. Thats why Yui, who only got her hands on the hidden skill Scorching Princess Levara, around half a year ago, cant really use it perfectly yet. She can only call it up for 2 seconds to briefly protect herself and then got frozen. But thank god theres me, I can cover for her during the recoil time. That said, this time itll be tough, though Standing in front of Yui, I face the remaining 17 wolves and murmured to myself with a wry smile. A single wolf of these can overwhelm me by a small margin in terms of raw brute force. Yet there are 17 left glaring at us, and I need to 1 v 17 for a whole straight minute. Sweats began to stream down my forehead, I could also feel my body becoming hot and sweaty under the heat of the Sun. I wonder if only these leather armor can hold out against this pack of monstrous creatures. Im the agility type, so I prioritize high speed, high damage instead of buffing up my defense. And since I have Rapid Leveling, I could finish monsters off before they could touch me. But this time its quite different, no, its a lot different, not even close to be somewhat similar. A whole group of monsters way stronger than me is ganging up on just the two of us. I dont even want to speculate any kind of outcome. Just have to fight my way through, then. After a few moments of silence, a wolf finally ran out of patience and pounced at me, baring its fangs, sharper than the teeth of a Great white shark. Normally, I wouldve been the one who jumped at them to take advantage of my aggressive fighting style. But right now I need to defend Yui while shes still in recoil, so its a whole different story. That said, I had no intention of trying to proactively pick a battle with any of them. I just waited for them to make a move and parried it. I swung my sword, activating a defensive sword technique from the skill Sword Master, and barely blew the black wolf away while leaving a cut on its shoulder. That seemed to have pissed the monster even more as it let out some strange barking and came back at me with 2 other wolves. Spiral Blade Storm!! Against this kind of gangbang, I had to use one of my pre-named skills. Only those skills on a secret technique level is pre-named by default when I received the skill Sword Master. Twisting my body, I spun around, drawing a perfect circle with the tip of my sword. The first spin, I blew a wolf away with the shockwave the technique sent out. The second spin, another wolf got caught up into the blade and it was bisected in half horizontally. The last spin, one remaining wolf of the trio received a deep slash into its belly, throwing its internal organs out of its body. Haahhaah14 left Shithere comes the recoil. High level techniques always come with recoils, except for when you have high enough level or fully master the skill. My body felt 3 times heavier, but its actually already a bliss. Because of my level raising to 181 after killing those 3 wolves, the recoil didnt affect me as much as before. I can still hold for another 30 seconds until Yuis back. Seeing their companions fall, the remaining wolves jumped at me one after another, aiming for either my blind spots or Yui standing behind me. With Sword Master and the boosted perceptive vision it gives me, I managed to barely dodged the deadly attack of that bunch of wolves and killed one or two wolves. (Fuck! I can only use around 2 more skills!) Just as that thought crossed my mind, a whip, no, a huge tail made by red flame swept by the battle field in front of me, sending the wolves flying and burning them to a certain degree. Okayonii-chan, sorry for the wait Though her face is calm, Yuis tone was apologetic. Fufufu dont look down on your brother, I can still finish all of them off if we do that *Sigh*youre abnormally reckless as everbut fine, Ill do it I retreated back to stand behind Yui and tried to calm my breathing down. Once I recollected myself, well pull the final attack, the finisher move on these rude wolves.
