《A Bored Passerby With Some Cheats》 Prolouge as usual Prologue - Earth school - Maru is your typical high school student in some small time college. Out of boredom, he always just read manga or watch anime. He''s not your typical otaku though. He practice ninjutsu because his grandfather owns a Dojo - ((/ AN.(* ) this signifies monologue))) -- * "Boring. Its just too boring. " Maru stared at the window of the class aimlessly. Their teacher is off the class for some reason so they have a free subject - ((AN . Trivia ....In the phillipines some colleges just let this thing happen I dunno in other countries tho)) - Leila: "Hey Maru lets go to the canteen and eat." --- Leila was your typical type popular bishoujo which was kind enough to to talk to the unsociable Maru. Maru just grew to this because of her continuous nagging every time since 1st year. ((they were 2nd year this year)) Btw Maru just nodded and head off to the canteen. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings... Typical days like this pass. *"I eat, sleep, I wake up, repeat. I''m so bored. This world is not even funny anymore. If only such anime fanfics exist."(sighhhhh...)Maru let out a long sigh. --- Then he noticed that everything went silent. He turned around expecting to see some awkward faces but to his surprise what he saw was white. Pure white. Then he turned a look at everything, they were all white. White that stretch of nothingness. "Oy,Oy I know that I thought of that, but isn''t this too much cliche''? All white? Where''s the summoning portal, why not just beat me unconscious then I wake to a different world, that''s more like it ." He blurted out frantically. (??)"Well sorry for that you know!! Its not that I summon heroes everyday that I exactly knew how to properly admit the summoned one based on their preferences!! *"(And I dont want you to be hit by a truck)" a floating beauty said while pouting Chappy 1 Chapter 1 summoned by the crying goddess .Maru: "hahahaha I know I know. Well I need to thank you for summoning me. I''m so dead bored. I wanna do something out of anything." (??) "yah I know right In that planet of yours where magic don''t even exist sure was boring. And its also the era of false peace that makes you all comfortable not knowing when its going to be war."Maru:"false peace?." (??)" you don''t know, the higher gods seems to boast for you to be super intelligent. But this matter seems also out of you coverage hehehehe then let me do the honour of telling you."Maru just shrugged. "well to begin with 20 years from now a nation will wage war to a small nation claiming a small island as a territory but that country near it strongly disapproves because technically that country will take control of everything in their country out of some archipelagic theories."Maru:"Ohoh. So a war will happen because of that." (??)"yup the-"Maru:" One country will support the dominated country for some amends, of course the dominating country receives treatment from other countries breaking the international peace treaty. (??) " correct!! So--"Maru:" So the powers combining each country would build the next generation axis and allied powers motioning the world war III." maru paused a little.(??)" ye--" Maru:" Then that will lead to nuclear wars decimating the earth to rubbles."The beauty waited for him to continue with a sad ( go!!! Say everything!! Your the best you do everything right!!) manner(almost crying) ((AN."LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IDIOT!! YOU MADE HER SO MISERABLE THAT SHE''S ABOUT TO CRY!!"))Maru noticed this so he didn''t continue out of full pity. (??)"guess its my turn huh,thank you. (#sob sob##)Technically it was hydrogen and plasma bombs the ended the earth but that was almost the same." "moving on."-- (??)"this world was called "mars" not the mars that you know but mars in a different dimension." "magic exists here , so as heroes an villains. The higher gods give each of us world deities to select our own heroes to the upcoming war."((( AN/deities means lower gods. Those who protect a certain world not an entire universe.))) "I''m the goddess of wisdom, Athena. Sorry for the late introduction. For as you know that you Are now my hero representative I will be the one to give you a boon To wish of a power of some kind to be exact. Of course you''ll start it low.(((before getting op LoL))) A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation." Maru:"you said deities right? Meaning Im not the only one summoned. Where are the others?"Athena:" you see other gods tend to summon more than one hero to ensure victory, but that would lessen the boons power as the number of people grows." Maru:" simply put. The more entry you drop the more chances for you to draw. Wait what? Winning? War? Whats this a contest?"Athena:" classified info, though it is somehow like that. It is not. You are to fight each other or protect each other. But first you need to grow in order to fight the final challenge." Maru just stared with furrowed brows."The disaster" athena said."no details given for this, but for the name itself. It should be a disaster." .Athena:"as for stated, I will give you some boons. As the goddess of wisdom I can not give some ultimate fighting techniques or ultimate destructive ones. But you can still choose cheat li--" Maru:"space and time manipulation"Athena:" okay.. But you are the one to do the manipulation ill just give you the highest affinity so 2 more left" Maru:"umm.. Okay.. But why three?? Isn''t that too much of a cheat?."Athena:"as i said the number and quality of boons wi-- Maru:"oh so that''s it huh. Other ones got multiple with each one getting cheat like powers.Then I would like some speed buff stats and some saturated luck. I''ve been unlucky all this time that its so sad. Now ill experience some of it (*sobs)." Athena:"well wish granted. Where do you want to st-- Maru:"some forest nearby a kingdom."The goddess was somehow used to him cutting of her sentences. Athena:"well I don''t mind you cutting me off but be sure to win my place okay? For starters all of the heroes will start without skills for them to find it on their own so good luck!!"Then the goddess vanished and maru found himself in the middle of the woods. (:"yare yare..")"time to do something good.".. ..Authors cornerrrrrr. .. So some people already viewed this. Well thank you guys! Anyway.. Sorry because fill ins are fill ins Chappy 2 Arsenals * beep -- Some forest some miles away from Bistia. A man wearing a blue polo and black slacks was standing in the middle of the forest thinking deeply. "so magic spells aren''t given,though there seems to be a need for incantation or a spell booklet like every other world in some manga, maybe ill try the most basic."(maru) The man sat down on a meditative position and began to do some yoga like posing with the thumb and index finger together. ... A few minutes later. "oho, so that''s huh.(((I mean you know mana right? Funky author.))).. It seems to be plenty around here. Now to make some spells." the man raised his palm and a fireball resting there came out. "*lets apply some chemistry" he told himself. The red flame becomes blue,then orange then several other colors to white,then he stopped. *"oops, I almost forgot that I''m in a forest, fire would be very dangerous. Ill try the other." He first put up water by getting it through the air then made some water dragons,snakes and other figures before changing it to ice. Then he made a gust of wind that looks like a mini tornado on his hand. After those he stomp the ground and a wall out from earth has formed,he compressed the wall with Force until it turned to look Something really smooth and solid,almost metal like. ...*"yosh, now I''m the who wields four elements(((a/n copyright request from avatar the legend of aang.+ehee))). .., *"Time for the main dish.. Speaking of dish I''m hungry." he then put up his hand in front of him and conjured a circle out of thin air and pass through it. Another circle formed on the other side and he pop out of the circle head first.(((imagine sadako)))"this one would be " he tried it again but this time he opened a circle at the size of his fist first on his hand then it worked. But this time only his hand got transfered. He also coated himself by mana and converted it into space mana. When he stepped forward, he vanished. Or more likely he teleported for about 10 meters of his location. "ill call this one . I think its good for now. And I''m pretty exhausted too. Haaaaa. Oh wait, maybe last one." he opened a circle similar to but there''s a slight difference. When he opened this portal, a strong sucking force was created, he knew that this would happen so he suppressed the sucking energy. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.Then when the sucking stopped the circle remained and on the other side was a space devoid of anything. "the sucking one would be and this would be " When he turned around, he saw a part of the forest has been uprooted. Then he decided to use his mana to grow some trees. The trees immediately began to sprout. He felt somehow exhausted and decided to sleep. "ha. That was tiring. Maybe Ill sleep, ?*GrOwLLL*? What the H*** I''m hungry, haa so eating comes first. But where can i find food?." He began to meditate and think of something, few minutes passed he decided to send a wave of mana to the forest. "" The forest was so large that the wave took a minute before sensing some life force that somehow looks like a boar and it was a few kilometers ahead. "" He appeared on the side of the boar instantly. "" When he jumped off, he kicked the ground to release the spike. "" Then a katana made of ice appeared on his hand. The next moment the boar was beheaded. He touched the boar then blink out of the forest. Outside was a vast plain of grassland seeing some mountains away. "" He sent out a sonar but this time the frequency was so high so that it will not disperse before reaching miles. Then he began to skin the boar. He made an impromptu griller with magic but then he face palmed. "I don''t have any spices." He decided to eat the boar with just roasting. He stomped the ground and an earth like igloo appeared. He used the boar hide as a pillow the went asleep. . .. .. .. Author. The portal inventory was the same as the one that *Keifer had. From journey through the worlds. Copyright request here sorry. Chappy 3 After sending the wave Mars went to sleep (((he will be using this name from now on for some reasons))) kingdom The king was about to sleep when he felt a wave of mana cross his skin. "what the h**l was that?" The next moment, all elder magician was summoned -- A forest nearby -- A fair lady stumbled upon sensing the wave. "I hope that was the last for today," (a certain elf) "Twas somehow stronger but its similar." (certain elder elf) "any idea what was that?" (a certain elf) "i dunno, we made peace with the demon lord years ago, he was the only one i know who can send that but i know that it was not his energy." (certain elder elf) "then who or what is it?" (certain elf) " a Human" (eld elf) The certain elfs ears twitched at the word but then she resumed worked while thinking about it. -- While it was certainly a strong wave, it didn''t reach the other continent. .. .. 3 Waking up. He went out of the earth igloo he created. While it was an igloo made of earth. It was somehow comfortable inside. It is because of the air and ice magic that he procured inside before he slept. "there was a forest again up ahead then a town." The wave of mana detected several species on its way the forest so mars knew about it. Then he jumped up and disappeared. He certainly wouldn''t enjoy the travel if he just teleported to the town. So he decided to fly. .. Literally not knowing to fly he just continuously teleported till he was up high. Then he used some wind magic to glide in the air. A few minutes later he got the hang of it and use the same principles as an airplane. .. Reaching the forest, he decided to teleport to the land. The reason why? There are several life signatures that are on the entrance of the forest. He is curious as to what those people are doing.. "yo!" He casually walked up to the people who look like thieves.. The peculiar difference was that those people don''t have proper equipment, what they have was a bunch of pickaxe shovels a grass mower and some kitchen bolos and knifes. "where did he came from?"(thief 1) "as if we know!!"?(some other thief) The thieves were confused of why he has appeared out of nowhere but a certain elder stepped up and talked to mars .. The old looking man sensed something peculiar and dangerous so he decided not to tell any lies. "hello young adventurer, as you see, we are some villagers from the town nearby. But now we are fugitives in our own home."( elder) Mars somehow knew this kind of plot so he easily knew the situation. Apparently, he really is a fan of some fantasy fiction anime, manga and novels. "ohoh. I thought you guys would like to get beaten first before some explanation, but it seems that you are intelligent enough."(mars) "hahaha, young man, you appeared out if nowhere when we are on our highest alert, you must have some kind of power that surpasses our senses. And also your mana gives me the chills"(elder) "Oy, did you just say mana?"( mars) "yes, apparently I am a retired mage that decided to live the rest of my life in peace. Or so that was what is supposed to happen." (elder) "is that so, then Ill have you teach me later."(mars) "I don''t mind, is usually what I will say but, you s-- "oh of course yes" Mars interrupted the old man. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.And made a vicious small grin. "Ill answer all your troubles then you teach me!"(mars) "young man, I certainly know that you are strong but, its a problem of a whole town." ((apparently their village was occupied by a nearby town that has extended and made them sell all their goods and crops to the town sellers less than half their profit-- kinda looks like Polo-- authors note--)) "hmm, the usual solution to this would be to defeat the leader and free the villagers and townspeople from corruption"(mars) "its a troublesome noble that has obtained this land from some shrewd methods but those who retorts would just disappear one day. And also the security was somehow tight because him being a chicken."(elder) "then Ill take the alternative! Gather everyone here with yourself and your belongings!! No questions asked"(mars) The elder signalled his men to do what he said. While flying, mars saw a river that extends to the horizon out of some mountain to the sea Then the moment the people were all on his view. A huge circle appeared on top of them and descended. The people don''t know what happened and shut down their eyes pray that it was somehow good thing because its the elders order. The next thing they saw was a vast greenery of plain and a river near a forest. "oy is it around the river to the forest of caldavar?"the elder asked timidly stupfied of the teleportation. "watch.."(Mars) Mars stomped his feet and several pillars of adobe rock sprouted on the ground, he stomped the second time and walls around the pillars rose and formed around it to depend on. Next he procured some wind blades to slash the walls finely with a square cut creating window like shapes and he cut a big one for the door. Unlike normal triangular roofs. He prefer it to be flat so he produced some rocks from the underground from a nearby place(river stones) and cut it to a square. Now each houses have a stone roof and foundations it certainly looked like some houses from the modern day period that would not likely collapse under an earthquake or fire,in short. It looks sturdy. He made almost 50 houses but without doors or windows yet. The houses are separated by an empty space which was supposed to be a road 25 on each sides with five rows. Each house has a considerable distance to each other. - for business purposes later- Then he moved around slightly on the edge of the houses to make another house. Or specifically, a town hall. He then did the same thing but the difference is it was five times the size and a second floor. he rounded out the front of the building and made the ground flat. He made the same thing on the back of the hall The front hall was for entertainment purposes. Apparently. He plans to teach people basketball, volleyball and badminton later. The back of the hall was for training purposes. He made an oval. Almost Olympic in size. An archery range on the side of the oval. Though an archery range it doesn''t have any targets. On the other side of the town hall was an empty space. So he decided to make an Inn, it will be an inn later or so. It was noon, mars was tired and hungry so he decided to to hunt. He went in the forest to kill some boars, where easily found them upon just minutes of entering he electrocuted the boars and killed at least 20. He teleported back at the village and decided to cook but then he sighed, "da hell did I forget about seasonings!!!?"(mars) He signalled the villagers to take a boar of their own to cook which they complied immediately, a minute later several smokes rose up from the ground. After lunch mars went to the elder. "yo!, tell those people to pick their houses,also tell them to pick the ones near the road,Its beneficial. I''m gonna get them gather wood later for the doors." The old man bowed and was almost on the verge of crying. " I can not thank you more than what we have here. No one knew that a village can be created within a day.-- but neither the rest we still thank you from the bottom of our hearts umm mister??" "oh right, call me -Mars! That''s my nickname, and?" "ohoh, just call, me Jones, Mars-dono".(jones) "whats with the dono honorific?? Anyway, sounds nice so I wont complain , well then."... -- he disappeared again. Elder jones considered that teleporting must be normal to him so he didn''t bother to ask. .. .. Author here. Too long or too short?.. Anyway. This is a village arc so bear with the details Chappy 4 Chapter 4 How to make a village p2 Few minutes later, Mars returned with several big logs. He asked the villagers to make their own doors w/c they complied easily. Every people he gathered were peasants so they know how to work. Loggers immediately did their part and so were the people helping them. As for metals, there was a mine nearby the river detected by his mana sonar the only problem was a monster w/c he didn''t even considered as a threat. Mars gathered the miners,blacksmiths and several men for carrying in the mine (he just teleported them around there). He gestured them to wait outside the cave as he went inside. The miners saw some mana sparks inside the cave, this time they just sighed since they already knew what he can do for just building the city in just a day. When mars went out the miners already knew their job and went inside the mine. Since this part of the river is inside the forest, the pathway also contains monsters. He decided to make a path straight to the city. He sliced up all the trees in the way and teleported them where he placed the logs before. He then conjured an but this time it platform type wide enough for six people to cross straight to the town.(its just a cemented road.) The problem was, monsters would come to the miners if there was no barrier around the road. He then conjured a wall made of mana to the surrounding, the wall formed but then disappeared after four minutes. He discovered another problem. How to make a barrier or specifically how to make it last. He then thought up of the battery concept. He just needed a mana storage material then its done. He then tried it to a rock. He poured his mana inside the rock then the mana almost came out instantly. "I thought so"(mars) He then went to the mine to see some miners with plenty of metals and crystals on their feet since they dont have a wagon. He then cut up a tree and hollowed it with ice blade. It looks like a long coffin with a square hole. "put it here then gather more"(mars) The men nodded and went inside. Few minutes later they came back again, when the wood was filled enough with ores and crystals he then teleported everyone to the village. He then picked up an ore and examined it. (The harvest was quite plenty because the mine is rich,the monster guarding it seems string enough to scare people out.) "Tell me what is this?"(mars)he said To a random bulgy looking miner. "that ore seems to be an orihalcum sir-"(random man) "mars, its my nickname, so characteristics?mr?"(mars) "Boron,Mars-sama ju--, mars cut him off "Just call me dono, it rhymes better"(mars) This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version."Understood Mars-Dono, apparently its a very rare kind of metal next to mithril. It can absorb mana temporarily to make it more denser and harder As to mithril that can absorb mana to make it applicable for temporarily enchanted. Enchanting is where you use mana to empower an item to a certain element or magic variant."(Boron) "I see, then this one?"(mars) he picked up a crystals which seems the plentiful. "That''s a mana crystal, typically it contains ma--he was cut off(boron) "Can it be replenished?"(mars) "I think so but it seems that only mages or mana adept people can do it."(boron) He didn''t mind being cut off by this person as he knew how powerful he is, and he is also grateful to this person who made a village for them. "Bingo"mars said with a grin. -- He then picked up a rock, placed a crystal in the the hole he made with earth magic and began fueling mana to a barrier magic. The barrier he created was a wall of 20 meters that he estimated to last for 1 hour. How did he able to do barrier magic? Simple, he set up the rock to emit wall like flat wall mana to become a thin wall. He decided to go quantity over quality and produced almost hundred pillars. The pillars were expected to have 72 hours to be replenish every other day. The replenishing wont be hard since these were connected through earthen tubes to be done by about 15 people. . The miners were pushing each other while chattering. One of them decided to take courage and walked up to him with boron on his side. "Umm Mars-Dono(??)" "what is it mr?"(mars) "Theodore, I want to request you a forge since your earth magic can do it easily. "so you''re actually a blacksmith huh."(mars) "pretty much so, almost all of us here gather our own metals for each other."(theodore) "ho.. So you too?(mars) Boron just nodded and so as the others. "well that''s good, Ill make a factory tomorrow. Well instead of individual forges, Ill just make a forge where all of you gather with separate forges and the things that you make will be displayed on the factory shop. It will be a collaboration shop for all workers there.(mars) "ooohh"all "now back to work, Ill tell you how to use mana tomorrow."(mars) Everybody just tilted their heads hearing the impossible, but just knowing what he did makes them too much excited like dream come true. .. .. So our mc just decided to make Op Villagers by the way the story is going on. Its been three days since I posted this story and we already have 12 people with. 2 Fav. Wooooooo. Well sorry, a heroine won''t come out soon so we cant make a club or cult something(maybe try athena just like cygnas from Insania I am a self proclaimed member lol):p or so I think. Thank you people. Chappy 5. Chapter 5 Just A "Normal" Farm When he came to the village he called for the farmers to assemble and bring their things. He plan to make a farm but he don''t have a plower. Of course the farmers can plow it themselves but it would take too much time. He then used the woods that he cut by into a plowing cart by making two round pieces of wood with a hole in the middle(for tires) and a supposed to be plowing small craggy tires. The problem was there was none to pull to plower. He the conjured a human sized circle and went inside. -- Inside the circle(probably Space inventory of sorts.) .. There was a thing of 3 times the human size with a small horn on its forehead creating mini sparks sitting on the supposed to be white ground. "oy,"(mars) The creature almost run from fear but he cannot even walk due to severe injuries. When the man raised his arm the creature just sat in obedience and resigned to his fate. The next thing he knew that he was enveloped with water and cannot breathe. A few minutes later he opened his eyes and feel much better. When he saw the man he again faced it with fear, fear of something very powerful. "can you understand me?"(mars) He was a monster yet he was also considered the most intelligent one around the area and have encountered humans understanding their speech for several hundred years so he can somehow understand the person in front of him,thus he nodded. "do you eat vegetables?"The creature did not understand the meaning of this phrase, nope he understands it but refuses to accept such question thus again he nodded bewildered about the absurd question. "good, then do you have a name?"(mars) He then shook his head. "well Ill name you KUMA, you will work for me and this village. I know that this is originally you territory but cant help it, need some space for humans. Well so do you agree? If no then you''ll become food and if yes, Ill give you food three times a day!."(mars) The creature thought up for a bit, he was angry about his territory being occupied but the food was tempting. And it was three times a day! He cant imagine such luxury because he almost eats around 1 time a month or two times because he cant leave his territory for too much time for such invader problems. Thus he stood up and nodded with a small drooling smug on his bear face. (((yup he''s a bear/authors note))) "well here''s the rules. You will protect the people in here as it depends on your life cause they are your reason to be here. Second you will plow farm when its farm time and help the farmers for any of their needs. Third, be friendly with everyone here or ill kick you in the nose. The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Fourth protect the crops and animals that will be placed on your base of operations. Fifth, you can still live on your house but we will Mine there and also help them transport the ores if you have time. Breakfast , lunch and dinner will be served for you on specific time. There will be some occasion that you can eat endlessly when there''s a feast. The creature drooled at this statement until mars slapped him. Listen, I''m mars your new boss, ill just add some rules next time and ill make you a stable near the entrance of the village so you can guard there. The farm was on the entrance of the village near the forest and the river The people who where in there was pulling the big plower until a circle came out and human from it, the next creature was supposed to be that no one can imagine. A was in front of their eyes. It was a B+ class of a monster and was very hard to subjugate thus it appeared near them. They can only feel fear until... "yo!, this would be our plower! Meet KUMA."Said mars pointing to the white bear with a horn. The bear then bowed. The people were again dumbfounded about this situation... But then mars started to raise his hands and control the clouds until it darkened and started to rain. He signalled kuma to start the work and he made a road to the village,a stable on the middle of the farm and an irrigation coming from thriver with earth magic. When the rain stopped,the field was also done. But there was a part that was not done. "oh that part would be for animals. You will cultivate the animals there and when its harvest time you would switch the lands for cultivation and farming. And here are the crops. Come back after planting these."(mars) he conjured different types of crops that he gathered on some plains while flying. The people just nodded and started to work. He then walked with kuma to the village. He didn''t teleport because he was exhausted. Kuma just thought that it was for him to familiarize the road. The people were fast. The doors were built and so as the houses. There were many logs left but he decided to use them tomorrow. He then brought up the remaining boars that he hunted and skinned earlier to cook in the middle of the village. He made an earthen roaster, made a fire with the spare logs And yelled "DINNER!!!!!" People started to come out and went to the fire he then roasted all the other boars that he caught continuously. The people who came out first stared to the boars but then they noticed a terribly big bear drooling on his side. "oh, he''s kuma your new companion here, treat him well.(mars) Kuma just bowed and then waved at the people then back to the boars. The people were still afraid to come near the boars because of kuma but then a child came near and asked "can I ?"(??). .. .. .. .. Author here. Bear bear bear!! A farming bear. .. Anyway.. About their battle? Later.. .. Im suffering a broken heart syndrome right now. As for the suggestions thank you people! I dunno hownl to do that kind of reply where you mention the whole thread. And thanks for the poll suggestion. Ill make one later. Chappy 6 Chapter 6. The little girl touched to the bear began to hug it. The bear raised its paw and the people gasped. Some closed their eyes, touched their ears, looked away and some even fainted. But then the next scene bewildered Everyone. The bear patted the girl and began playing with her. The bear would raise the little girl and the people would take a large gasp. This repeated a few times until mars told them to stop because they would cause the heart attack for some elders. "Whats your name little one?"(mars) "I''m Annie, I lost mr tibbers before coming here and he looks like him and he is soft too and he is fluffy too!" (annie) Mars thought this one as funny but Kuma seems to enjoy this so he had no objections. "now then, Ill make you that bear''s caretaker from now on".(mars) "Yayyyy!!"(annie) Said the little girl while sliding on the bears back. "FALL IN LINE!"(mars) The people silently and orderly fell in line. The farmers just came back at the exact time and also fell in line. They just saw a girl playing with the bear and decided to let it be. They were too tired for any more surprises like this. "Today was a good day thanks to you."(elder Jones) "after eating gather them here"(mars) "much obliged Mars-dono "(elder Jones) "you sound like a kings retainer"(mars) If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it."hohoho.. Just practicing" said the elder while stroking his beard. Mars just snorted and realized that his joke backfired on him. Now that everyone was gathered, mars created a stage in the middle of the village. "EVERYBODY DO AS I SAY"mars commanded on an authoritative tone and a large voice. "Place your hands in your belly and clear your mind." "INHALE!"(inhaling sounds) "EXHALE"(exhaling sounds) "INHALE... on this mark mars radiated a dense amount of mana around the premise. People exhaled sounding exhausted from the said exercise. "what have you felt right now was what you know, mana. We will keep doing this everyday for you to get used to it. You must be able to control it by some time after this soon but for now rest and we will have few discussions tomorrow."(mars) As the people went to their new houses elder jones was called by mars. "yo, you will come with me to the town hall and bring your family there."(mars) "ohoh. Was that the biggest building? Do you intend to make me an adviser?"(elder jones) "nope, I wont stay for long so you will govern them. Ill visit when I have time so don''t let this place rot while I''m gone."(mars) "so that''s it huh.. And here I am thinking of a vacation"..(elder jones) "none for you yet old man. These people need you while I explore this world... Or worst, Change it."(mars) The two people laughed it off as a joke but neither the two of them knew that they just jinxed it. -- Yup its a world changing type of flag. .. .._------_------@@&------_---------@-------@@------- Author. The Still no heroine huh..:p The updates killed me yesterday. Demn. Chappy 7 (long chappy) Chappy 7 [Mek-pendragon] add ons Village improvements. -- Mars didn''t feel that he needs sleep right now So he just thought up of finishing some other buildings. .. He made barrier pillars all around the village border. He cut up a road inside the forest, straight to the next continent and also placed a barrier. The blacksmith factory would be a tricky build so he decided to put it up later. A dojo made from all wood and some stone was created in the middle of the oval. A Japanese style bathhouse was made near the so called inn. It has a set of mana crystals under it. One set produces water and one set produces fire. He tampered with this mana crystals to produce fire magic when given a certain amount of mana, it still uses wood as fuel but the mana crystals reduce the fuel consumption by half. He just played with all of the mana crystals that the miners had gathered. Apparently, mana crystals are plenty resources that can be found in any cave or the likes so there would be no problem with the supply. One crystal that he created produces ice cubes when inserted with mana and one crystal that emits wind magic. These crystals were enclosed in a square formed rock with some slits on it(rock made Air Con). It somehow takes 8 hours before any need for mana recharging but if you put another non tampered crystal next to the already made sockets , the standby time would double. He decided to call it .. On each streets were slender pillars with somehow scythe looking edge and a glowing mana crystal on the tip making the alleys bright. The gaps on each houses was quite spacious so he decided for people to make each of a garden on their own for the backyard purposes. It was almost dawn when he finished so he decided to take his primary goal. ... He flew up high and sent a mana sonar, few minutes later he teleported to a certain location which was near the ocean. It was still early for morning so he decided to scoop a big amount of salt water bubble and conjured a fire under it. The water bubble that slowly turns into salt would fall down a certain circle straight to his space inventory. When he was finished, he then teleported to some other place to pull out some type of crops and spices, leaving a mana crystal for the one sided exchange. .. When on his way back, he hunted some boars again now including a giant boar which size is about triple to Kuma. In the center square he used the fireplace that he created and made a boar stew. This time with salt,spices and some vegetable. It was a pretty large earthen pot the he just created.(water came from his water magic) By this time some people are already up. He invited them to have a meal until the whole village lined up and ate. "COME HERE AGAIN AFTER BREAKFAST."(mars) He said to the people for them to begin the daily mana exercise. When exercise began, he also included on how to produce mana on their own by willing it. When elder Jones did it, it was a half red half green light. He didn''t knew the meaning of this but he assumed it to be a dual element. Curious as to what his affinities were. He created a ball of light. As to his wonders, it was purplish black light w/c resembles the void in outer space. Its probably because of his affinity. "quite an affinity huh."(elder Jones) Mars just nodded. "mine was dual affinity, though it doesn''t mean I can use other elements but this two were just my strongest and would be easiest for me to use. By the way I''m at former Master rank. Since I specialize with wind and fire all I can do was to destroy and not to build. I regret as why can''t i build new magic anymore when I reached this age."(elder Jones) "hmmm.. Old man..(mars) "what is it Mars -dono"(elder Jones) .. .. "want to fly?"(mars) The elders face cant be drawn as to how ridiculous this statement to be but seeing the smug on this young persons smile he just couldn''t help it. Mars then teleported them to the outside of the village and told elder the basics. Since the first step was to float, he decided against it. -- He told him to create a small amount of wind magic and ignite with a fireball to launch his self up. Further instructions. He told him that when he was above he decided to use the concept on how airplanes fly. On how to turn he just told him to use the technique on taking off. Thus elder Jones rocketed up in the air. For the first few seconds up in the air he didn''t do anything. He understood the concept well. He was trying to do this all of his life. The only part missing was the fireball to launch his self or use it for sudden turns and acceleration. For this type of magic, he surpassed his self of being a grandmaster. -- The problem was... He crashed. After a few minutes of flying,boosting and rocketing in the air. The only concept that they both forgot was.. Landing. When mars would fly he would teleport himself to the ground thus he didn''t even need to land. Elder Jones was too happy of learning this new magic and forgot everything. Realizing that they both messed up the two laughed it off like freaks in the middle of nowhere. Elder got some bruises and torn clothes so when mars healed him the torn clothes remained. When they teleported in the village. The people were busy cutting up the remaining woods to make their own furniture. The farmers were also on work with Annie riding on kuma''s back. There were children playing on the square but he didn''t like children playing on the road so he will make a playground later. Only thing left was the miners x blacksmiths peoples work. He then gathered this people and brought them to an empty space near the mine. The mine was near to the river so stones were no problem. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.Then he made a tall pillars with earthen roof with several holes for the chimneys. Then the miners would get their own stones and mars would cut it into bricks to make their own forge. Thus when it was finished, the people immediately rushed in the mine and start their work, he told them to make arrowheads for first. Back to the square. There were jobless people which was either disabled, old, children or women that don''t do work. He then healed those whom he can heal and that produced only 5 able people to work. He then gathered the women and children to the dojo. Many of them were mothers and children of 12 yrs old above. He then began the exercise, he told that if they could defend their selves No one would bully them thus he made them run in the oval. All of them didn''t even finished half and their already dead tired. Thus he just told them to make bows and arrows. These arrows were all made of wood with no feather holdings or something, just for arrows. And for a while he made them eat which they ate greedily because they considered this was delicious. In the afternoon, he made them run again with same results. When they recover, He would make them copy him with some kungfu like movements and kata after that he nudged them to make arrows then feed them. Thus the daily life of women and children would turn out to be like this everyday. --- Meanwhile, woodworkers don''t have their own workshop so he decided to make a Lumberjack factory far from the mine. .. Afternoon This time of the day, every people would gather and begin the mana breathing exercise(as they call it). But this time there was something different. Some people began to notice a significant change in their breathing and felt that maybe they could control it. Mars instructed this people to produce a light of mana on their palm and somehow it appeared. These people were happy to be able to use mana. Their respective colors where red,blue,green and red again. 4 people who got it first would be hired to maintain the barrier. They would be under elder Jones for some spell training and will later come to mars to improve it. Thus in this free time of the day. He made everyone run to the oval that he made. The peoples faces looks like that of elder Jones when he mentioned of flying. When the people reached the oval, they saw their families making strange movements that felt like dancing through air. "Ill make you do that later so for now, Run, first come first serve."(mars) He then started to cook for the people. Seeing this, the people started to run not minding this exercise to those who collapsed would be brought by the women to the dojo to rest. ------- The village was now complete but they don''t have specialties. Not for long. He took some men to the forest to teach them some hunting. Using the bows and arrows that the women and children built mars forced them deep in the fores to hunt monsters. The first encounter was a giant spider. He brought a total of 20 people to be sent out by fives. The first five almost died but then mars prevented it by layering a barrier to those who have fallen. He didn''t healed them until going home for them to be afraid of pain. This hell hunting continued on several days until these people can now gather in their own. Several days after. The blacksmiths x Miners have created plenty of materials such as knifes, swords and arrowheads etc. Thus he made them to do some "spring" Yup, a spring made of iron in a coiled manner. The BMs (blacksmith miners) didn''t know its use but they just complied. On the farm were several types of animals a being bred the crops are also doing good. He made the lumbers to make several orders of bed on with some small springhole in it. ... The springs and beds were done. The bedsheets and pillows were made of monster leather and fur which makes it somehow hard but good enough to sleep on. But the supposed to be hard looking beds would be nothing under the springs that were on the bed. .. On a part of the forest he found rubber trees. These trees sap was used to produce rubber. .. The inn have 3 floors with twenty rooms each floor. Pretty big huh? This also have the custom made beds and two on each floor. The first floor only have 10 rooms because of the reception area. The townhall was just a big as the inn in front of it but with fewer rooms. The rooms were big and have individual showers and mana cons. This rooms would be allocated for VIPs. The BMs were informed of the rubber and mars told them the use of it. He told them that it was best used as a grip and they tested it. The result was a success. The rubber grip made a knife more easy to grasp and but it feels kinda sticky. He also introduced his own designed springed rubber armor. It was an armor with light metal as the inner vest and several hundred mini springs all around and another set of metal. The metal was covered with dense rubber covering the whole vest. They tried it to a dummy and attacked it with a downward swing. The sword bounced up and was parried by the armor. The BMs were shocked. Non of them knew an armor that would parry a normal attack. Then they tried and arrow. An arrow was shot... But didn''t do much damage. The arrow embedded into the rubber but didn''t penetrate it up to the deepest layer. Thus an almost impregnable rubber armor under that things was made. .. ----------------------------------------------------------- Tralalala. author. Here. I made it long since there will be no release on saturday. Work will come up soon so daily post would be somehow difficult. .. Thank you guys. Ja neh .. Chappy 8 (edited) Chapter 8 .. A/n Well guys sorry for the update. Here is the real chapter. .. ............ Now that rubber was made mars made a blueprint of a bicycle body for them to make. While he made a pump that pumps air into the wheel, he also ordered a rim that has 30 set of metals to be connected on the middle. The rubber wheel was exactly imitated as the ones on the earth. He knew this specifically because he always manages his mountain bike when he had free time. He designed several types if bikes and one of them was a sidecar. This would be used later as a part of transportation. .. Front of the town hall. He had his pre made ball, a ring with a net and some children. He made a solid basketball board and placed the ring on each sides of the court and tried dribbling the ball, toss it and do some dunk moves that he can never do before.. The children watched him with awe. He called a kid and gave him a ball signalling him to throw it to the net. The court didn''t still have markers so the free throw line isn''t emphasized. When the kid threw the ball it unbelievably came in. Thus he explained the rule team play with dribbling shooting and no foul between the kids and let them play with it. His next plan would be a volleyball court. He then made poles 14 meters each and placed a leather net hanging around it. He the signalled the the little girls on the basketball court to come over there and teach them how to play. "this game over here would be called volleyball. In my place it is a popular game between girls but some boys also play this. Similarly that one over there would be called basketball. Its popular with boys but some girls also play it. For now play what you want and teach it to the others later understand?"(mars) "YAYYY"(KIDS) the kid replied noisily and came back running to the courts. .. He was almost done but then remembered the thing about education but while thinking about it a smoke came closing in the sky.. -- Its not a plane. Its not a bird, nor a meteor to destroy the world. Yup. Its Elder Jones Enjoying his flight. .. He then landed with a jump from the air. "landing was still hard for me huh.."(elder Jones) "well I''m sorry i cant teach you that but back to business, can you read and write?" "ohohoh of course Mars-dono I can. Im a former master after all." (elder) "well I need you to teach this whole city to learn academics."(mars) "No problem, have nothing to do anyway but to fly. But you need teach me new magic next time for the payment."(elder) "hah.. Then its no problem, Ill leave it to you. Mars then created a building with earthen tables and desk with a board to write on. .. Thus a self sufficient village was made. He wants to improve it to the point that it could negotiate with other places and establish trade but for now, he wants to focus on defenses. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Scanning the village, he noticed a problem. There were no toilets. There were no sewers to begin with. He then started to dug up under the ground and made a hole under the houses. Since the houses were made by rows, the drainage would not turn out to be something complicated. He then went to every house to make their own privately owned shower and toilet. The toilet was made up of soft earth that can be comparable to the ones in earth. Water would be produced from mana crystals producing water. Since every people would learn to use mana later, recharging the stones would be no problem. He then told elder jones the secret to forming elemental mana crystals that they were using for utility to mass produce it later on. Several days after, people can now hunt and fish for their selves for food. Produce raw material from hunting and clothing. The kids are busy to play in the courts teaching their parents to play. Everyone was also learning to read and write and some spells were thought by elder Jones. On the dojo every women can now run the whole oval for several laps and have memorized the kung fu kata that he taught them. On every after fight, a match would begin on his watch. Seeing this peoples bare arm fighting capability,11 He decided to teach them weapons. Some reluctantly and hesitatingly accepted the training because they afraid to take lives. So he made them use non lethal weapons such as tonfas, staffs, arnis and knuckles. For archery, he ordered the BMs to make a flat edged heavy arrow and a big bow. The reason was that if there comes a fight the women would be the second line of defense and would nudge an arrow from far away to snipe the enemy with those blunt edges. The women accepted this conditions and began training. Or so they thought. Their training was to hit a non moving target from very far away 3 kilometers with large bows and sharp edged arrows. "I know that you are trying to help us but this one was very impossible."(??) said a girl with black hair, seemingly slender body with special curves and brown eyes annoyed. "ohoh.. Is that so?.."(mars) "THAT IS SO!.."(??) "mmm..your name?"(mars) "shiina, just call me Shiina(Shiina) "ok shiina, remember this,"(mars) mars grabbed an arrow, just and arrow with two fingers and threw it with a javelin throw towards target. "This world can make everything possible"(mars) said mars while turning his back towards them. The target was hit and exploded while mars was walking away. .. --------------------@@@@---------------@@@@@--- Author here. .. Spell "BadAss" Cool Cooler Coolest!! But he''s not sakamoto tho. ((sakamoto desu ga))anime .... I''m literally sorry the earlier update.. The heat was affecting my brain. Chappy 9 Chapter 9 . .. Pov. I was now an adult. When you reached the age of 17 you would be considered as an adult. The baron keeps on increasing our taxes for us to be bankrupt in debt and surrender our lands. .. My mother was dead and my father was a Blacksmith. Some of this days we would be out of our own land and all I can do was cry. Crying in the middle of the night my father grabbed his hammer and went with other people to the forest bringing their respective job tools. They do this almost every night and one time, I decided to stalk them. .. This time I saw an unfamiliar man. Almost the same age as me, slightly taller with black hair. Black eyes but somehow emits a purplish color , fine face w/c you can consider as handsome in this world and he seems to be talking with the elder. After they were done talking, the elder prompted us to bring our every belongings in this location w/c we complied. We trust the elder more than everyone. Although he is old, he was still a master magician or so I say former master magician. When we are all in the area the young man said something and light came down upon us and I closed my eyes. Upon opening what I saw was a plain fields with a river and a forest in front of us and the glittering stars that are everywhere in the sky. The young man then Stomped his feet and made earthen pillars. When I pondered what are those pillars for, he stomped again one more time and created boxes. Later did I know that this would be our new houses. It was morning and he was still making some attachments and other buildings that looks quite big but don''t have any designs. By the time he finished, he fed us, giving us boars enough for each family. He created the a village in just a day. Nope, this is no village. This size would be called as a town already. Every people were workers so the labor was fast. Doing nothing I felt bored. That''s when he gathered us on the supposed to be a square that he made. He was up to something. He would order us to everything for him in exchange for living in this place. But the he proved me wrong. He told us to just inhale. Yup, he told us to breathe. To my wonders as to why he was doing it. It must be some type of something that I didn''t again understand. That''s when on the second try, I felt something. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Its something that I feel moving inside of me. Is it my blood? Or more like something just hit me."(shiina) "What have you felt right now was what you know, mana. We will keep doing this everyday for you to get used to it. You must be able to control it by some time after this soon but for now rest and we will have few discussions tomorrow."(mars) What did I just hear? Mana? As in magic? What the.. Only nobles have their own private magicians. Though elder can use magic ------tbc Magicians were still rare and yet he said that everyone in this village would be able to use mana? As in this would be a village full of mages? I was about to faint when I saw him and the elder disappear. The next day he called for the women and children above 12 to gather in the oval that he made. As I was wondering what was the oval was for. I was about to ask when he told us to run. We didn''t want to but he bribed us with food. This continued everyday and we can now run several laps, make some bow and arrows and do some weird type of movements that he told us. We have mastered the art that he called Kung fu and was able to use blunt weapons and now he will teach us archery. Or I thought so. From the distance that I was standing, the dummy target looked like a dot to me and he tells us to shot this thing with this big arrow. i retorted. For the first time that I retorted he looked at me and asked my name. "I''m shiina. Just call me shiina."(shiina) He then threw an arrow by bare hands and said. "This world can make everything possible."(mars) He walked away with me chasing a look on his back. And then something exploded. I knew it right away what was it and didn''t dare to look until he was gone. That moment he looked so cool. He proves me wrong every time so I''m angry. Angry for the fact that he was just as old as me and he was this far. Ill become strong. You just wait. .. .. .. ------------@@@-------@@@--------------- Author. . Decided that there will be no chapters during weekends. Sorry. .. Anyway,I smell something here Chappy 10 Chapter 10 .. ((((Small time skip desu)))) After a few months.. The village began to prosper and it has its own delicious meals. Mars instructed the people to create their own shops with their own specialty. Of course they could partner with each other for the businesses. A restaurant was made by the women that were in the dojo''s and have omurice(omelette rice) as their specialty.(tomato ketchup was made) There are certain stalls that sell potato fries and sweet potato fries. The kids were also participating by preparing sugar candies on their own. The blacksmiths took a vacant house to be their home base for selling everything. Each family were given sidecars as a commodity. The town hall was the one nearest to the forest entrance so a bicycle terminal was made there. For those want to drive the bicycles would take the profit after reaching a certain boundary. Pillars with rules and regulations were made in every corner. Each house row had a post sign of which row it is. Ironically the rows were named as numbers. Each house had an address ex(row 1 street 3 house 4) .. For the time being, the goods made were being traded in a barter system. .. "Today this village would be opened for tourists to make a shortcut from each of the other continents. I have prepared a set of rules in each corner of the streets, the entrances and exits. For every people you encounter you must tell the rules around here are absolute. The rules would be: - open fighting is not allowed. In case of quarrel, a duel stage is always ready. The duel must be fair and not one sided. A forced duel would lead to consequences for the offender. - no stealing In case of stealing, the person caught would have a fine thrice the amount of the item - vandalism If you break a public property, you are in trouble. For accident. You need to repair the said commodity that you broke. For intentional. There are no guards in this village so the people are allowed to beat you up. - this village technology is one of a kind. Sharing this info would not be an offense but imitating this would be trouble. In case piracy occurs, you will encounter this village protectors wrath. -discrimination is nonexistent - killing is a no go. If you killed a person not a local of this village, you will be beat up and sent the what country of that person you killed. The locals would not kill you.. Or so I think.. But you will wish for it when it comes... --if a matter not included in this rules was done, a certain person will be contacted if it is not settled. ..... After the rules was set. The villagers are not worried of not having guards. Besides they have "Kuma" if there''s anybody that they cant take they can just ask him. He doesn''t talk to them much but he understands humans very well. The farmers grew fond of him whenever they saw him playing with annie. By this time, everybody was able to use mana and know a certain type of spells in their own. Everybody was trained kung fu by the dojo women and all women knew ultra long range archery. Though they still cant the target set by their mentor, they can now almost graze it. .. ... .. If matters get worse, mars can always deal with it.. Or so they thought. .. "Ill be leaving to promote this village, or I might bring more people here."(mars) The villagers were shocked at this statement. All of them were helped by a single young man but they didn''t even helped him for anything. Although they cant directly talk with him this past few months that he is helping them. They grew fond of him. All people loved their savior who gave them shelter when they most needed it. He gave them food when they cannot feed their selves And gave them work for their future. "Ill be leaving tomorrow cause ill give some persons some things before I go."(mars) These words gave everyone an idea. Almost everyone of them looked at each other and talked wordlessly. --- Night "Yo annie, you enjoy playin? "(mars) "Yes Brother!! Is it true that you will leave?"(annie) "Yes , I have things to do on my own selfish ness but you see..."mars disappeared and re appeared on her back. "I can do this so going home would not be a problem"(mars) Annie nodded reluctantly. Annie is the little girl that lost her doll and remembered it as kuma and became friends with the two. "oy kuma, you have a pocket?"(mars) Kuma shook his head seemingly saying. "I''m a freaking bear and you expect me to have pockets?" Mars showed him two crystals. "crush this crystals when you''re in trouble. Ill put it in Annie''s backpack" Mars gave Annie a purple back pack containing some sweets and crystals. .. Mars teleported to the forge. "yo boron, take this crystals and crush them if you need serious help, ill come right away."(mars) "sure enough, by the way, we can''t thank you enough for giving us almost everything. Me and my daughter would really love to have you drink tea with some time."(boron) The big bulgy man gave him a bear hug. Mars heard some crackling noises but he left it to his imagination. .. He the went to visit the elder "yo, Jones-san."(mars) "ah Mars-dono"(elder) "come with me"(mars) Mars snapped his fingers and The two vanished. .. They went to plain field, similar to what the village looks like before. When elder was about to ask something, mars raised his right hand with open palm. He closed his palm and hammerly brought it down, as his hand goes down, so as the rain of lightning thunderstorms charred the ground. It was an effortless area of effect skill for him. "I want you to be able to protect this village from a large group of either humans, monsters or the likes. This skill mainly uses the element of wind to control clouds and fire to create a spark between the clouds and the ground." Elder Jones still cannot speak because he was still astonished in the effect of the spell but he understood it all. He also gave him crystals to break when its needed. ... Dojo. A single figure can be found practicing with a long wooden staff can be seen. Then when she faced the forest, a creature attacked her. It is humanoid in form but its pure black. She immediately dodged the incoming fist and countered with a downward swing. The creature also dodged the swing and jumped above her. The girls postured hers staff and was ready to smash the creature like an egg but the attack she was ready to counter never came. The creature who jumped was nowhere to be seen in the air. Then she felt a cold chill on her back and prepared to guard but it was too late. When she was about to turn around, a hand came in close to her face ready to pierce through her brain. But the attack never came again. When she opened her eyes, all that she got was a flick on her forehead from a person she never expected. "You fight way too sloppy. You have openings from head toe, no techniques or everything. The counter was very obvious and everything about that fight was... Whatever.."(mars) This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. "w..was that you??"(shiina) "anybody else you see?"(mars) "b..but t..the cre---"(shiina) "that was for you to fight seriously"(mars) "b.bu--"(shiina) "no buts... You know how to use mana right? You have little experience in fighting so ill teach you something. What''s your element?"(mars) "water and earth"(shiina) The girl said flustered. "incorporate those spells in your fighting style. Ill teach you some more use of mana."(mars) ... The two started to sit in a yoga like position "first, concentrate your mana to spread in your whole body."(mars) "like this?(shiina) shiina gaves of a faint blue radiated glow like aura on her body. "you''re good. Sometime it takes hours to do just that but... Anyway here''s the next step. Disperse the mana onto your muscles slowly and try to augment it."(mars) "mmm"(shiina) "oh good, we have a genius here."(mars) Shiina didn''t know it but she have augmented herself fully on her muscles. "try to jump"(mars) Shiina tried an effortless jump and... .. She flew.. Nope she jumped high up in the air passing the tall trees nearby. She couldn''t control the boost given to her by the augmentation. When she was about to fall, or so she thought. Mars catched him with a princess carry. This made her really flustered but that moment ended shortly. Mars put her down. "next step.."(mars) "next step? But that boost was already awesome?"(shiina) "getting stronger never ends. Now get in position"(mars) ... .. " now that you can do that full augmentation try to only augment a part of your body. First your fist."(mars) Shiina effortlessly augmented her fist. "as I thought, what a genius."(mars) .. They tried several body augmentations and came down to weapon augmentation. .. Shiina,now with a little resistance tries to augment the weapon but she can''t. .. "HAH.. At last there''s something that you can''t do in one day." Try do that always and make your own fighting style. Teach everything to the people but not the weapon augmentation because that''s only for you."(mars) "ummm thank you.."shiina said timidly. "your welcome? Anyway Ill leave tomorrow"(mars) .. 14 Mars handed her the crystals. "whats this?"shiina asked " its a Mars summoning crystal" he said it as a joke but later on this crystal would be named exactly like that later. "if anything you cant handle happens, break one of this crystals and Ill come right away."(mars) "Yes, thank you and farewell ":) shiina said with a smile. When mars was about to teleport.. "ummm,"(shiina) "what is it?"(mars) Shiina handed him a bracelet with wooden ornaments and a small mana crystal on the middle. "farewell gift and also as a thank you for everything."(shiina) Mars immediately wore the bracelet because it was the first thing that he received since coming to this world. "thank you."(mars) .. The next day. Mars was about depart and give his final words to the people when elder jones told him that there''s a problem going on the square. .. "oy whats going on?"(mars) "the people wants to tell you something."(elder jones) The people were all gathered in the square and mars was on the stage. "THANK YOU!" was all that he can read from all the banners that the people created. The people, under the elders guidance lined up to the stage bringing something. .. "these were our own individual gifts to you. I know they were not much compared to everything that you did but please accept it."elder jones said with a smile. "oh, and I also told them about your almost unlimited inventory so they don''t need to hold back hehe.."(jones) "you..(mars) he was cut off. "mars-dono, please accept our gift to you."(random villager) "a..oh thank you"(mars) Every villager prepared their own gifts and there was even a statue. "wait, Can I have that?"(elder jones) "umm elder.. Thi--(random sculptor.) "Ill make it a village statue"(elder) "ooooh."said the villager with wide expectant eyes "oy.. I''m not dead, why make a.. statue?.."(mars) "village attraction."the elder said boldly. "tsk.. Do what you want.. Just add some notes that I didn''t want to make it myself and include to it that I''m still alive."(mars) "roger,mars-dono"(elder) .. After everyone have given their gifts mars had something to tell them all. "first of all thank you, I don''t even know why I made a village in the first place. But you still appreciated it. It may not be comparable to my original place but, I can call this my home. Farewells aside. I need you to implement the rules that I have implemented. We don''t have jails so we can just kick out offenders. Remember that I hate discriminations above all. I may send more people here. Maybe they will have the same fate as you before so treat them kindly. If there were problems that you cant solve, I will come. Oh and after working, you need to rest from time to time so I declare every 3 months would be a feast! The last part of the winter would have people give thank you gifts to each other. Love each other as you love this village. Or so I say. Town? This town is hereby declared by me as independent. Anyone who questions or engaged this freedom would incur my wrath. That may be all people for now. Ill comeback sometime later. So.. Goodbye!!"thus he jumped and flew in the air. The crowd gathered in cheers and some even cried. "Now then, we don''t have drinks do we? So lets just make it a food party. As a secondary ruler of this town. I declare that this day would be our -Saviors day!"(elder jones) "Any objections?" "NONE!!!!"(People The crowd again erupted in cheers and began to party. The village that was made within a day. The village that improved in less than a month. The village that were all built by a single man. The village that have every people that can use mana. The village that became a town after he just said so. The town that has no name yet. "WAIT!!! WE HAVE A VERY BIG PROBLEM!!! the elder said In panic. Everyone stopped partying looking at the old man. "what was it elder?"(boron) "we didn''t asked him for the name." The elder said in a very serious tone. - a Very big figure came approaching the two and spoke with a very low tone. "Save that for later old man. Just name the town after him and were fine. Today was a day to party right? Every people except for one little girl has dropped their jaw on this certain figure that has spoke. "WHAT??, your first time seeing a bear talk? Save that faces later and lets just celebrate now!"(Kuma) The people again erupted in cheers and was shouting the name of the village. "Mars" . . .

WELCOME HEROES!"(KING) Hero 1"hello my king it is my pleasure meeting you I am Sven" Said a blond 6ft 17yrold looking youth. ((a/n.Sven''s story later. Or maybe not as for the other heroes. I dunno lol)) Hero 2: your majesty I am called irina. Said by some outgoing looking woman with brown fishtailed hair fair white skin and brown eyes. Hero 3:" uhm. Im tessie....uhm.. Your majesty. " said a bowing frail looking lady at a 90 degree bow after saying the last line. ..-king: the goddess might have told you the details, so ill just make it short. *"(I''m lazy after all)"((king thought to himself) "People of my kingdom, the heroes have descended upon us!! For humanity they will bring our fates to salvation" said the king as he burned a piece of paper with magic on his hands walking out on the balcony. People:"woooo!'' King: now heroes I will talk to you tomorrow for the further details and information on common knowledge in this world, may I excuse myself. The king bowed and left graciously. *(yataa all done)(cried the king on his mind while hastily running of to his room for some sleep). .. Meanwhile a certain man can be seen flying towards the kingdom slowly. (he was in no rush so he was sightseeing.).. ... .. .. .. .. The three heroes were schoolmates in earth. .. Sven is the team leader of the kendo club. He was you typical "ikemen" type of man. He was popular among girls but didn''t have interest in anybody. He was also always in the top brass but he was lonely. He cant spend time for others as his parents insists him on studying. Then one day he was summoned. .. Irina is you typical idol type character. Though she doesn''t sing like,other idols she was really popular as an athlete. She was an honorary member of the track team. A certain someone broke her heart last time so she doesn''t take relationships seriously now. This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon... Tessie was a typical type ojou-sama caged bird girl. She was not familiar with socializing but was akin on observing people. She usually don''t talk but she can easily guess what was the other person was like. For instances, she can detect lies or guess the persons attitude and emotion 80% at a time. . Sven chose a skill that enhances ones capability of perception that he can almost predict the future attacks of an enemy. . Irina was told that she was going to fight monsters and doesn''t like to fight them barehanded so she chose a bow skill of sorts ... Tessie always wanted to use magic since watching anime is her hobby while being imprisoned in her own house. ... .. Each of them have their own trump cards given by their goddess Hebe (aphrodite). She chose them because they all have outstanding skill that are inherent to them. But the reality was, because they were all beautiful.(though there goes our sven counted as handsome lol) .. Each heroes had their own room the castle. The beds were uncomfortable to them because they were about to drown in the non resistant softness of the mattresses. Tessia was the only one that had fine sleep. After the day of resting they were again called by the king. .. "recently, monster invasion becomes more frequent coming from the demon lands." no one can confirm whats happening on the demon land because of the cold weather there right now that normal humans would freeze before even taking two steps there. So your task would be as follows: Get stronger Learn more things Slay monsters Protect the capital Protect the world Defeat the problem Go home or have a family and stay here. .. .. .. That would be your responsibilities as heroes."(king) A man then stepped forward "I would be the one in charge for your training and general knowledge" said an old fully armored individual. "I am called Brock" "thank you very much instructor but may I ask? Do we have day offs or something? The goddess told us that the situation is not really urgent right now but some time next year so I think we also need time to breathe."(Irina) The instructor was about to say something when the king spoke. "No problem! As I will have my break times too."(king) The instructor facepalmed at this remark. . .. .. .. ---------@@@@-------@-@-@-$-$$---$@---- Author here.

So w--"(irina) "I''m a soldier hero-sama, ill retire when I can''t fight."(brock) The three heroes nodded at this and Just decided to fight. Sven comes forward with a dashing strike with a two handed wooden sword. Sven''s skill predicted that he would dodge but he still attacked because he knew that he had a backup. Dodging the sword, Brock sidestepped of Sven''s range and then he saw an incoming blunt arrow at him. Irina was sure that the arrow would hit but unexpectedly, The old man bended his body and also dodged the arrow with a low backflip. Seeing the astonished faces of the two, he saw a light in the side of his vision and felt danger. A fireball was incoming right on his face and cant dodge because of his awkward position after flipping. The fireball exploded. Brock was hit by a fireball, or so they thought. At the last moment, Brock infused mana on his arm and punched the incoming fireball. Covered in sparks of flames, Brock came out unhurt. "how did you just do that? Not only Dodging my attack and the arrow but also the incoming fireball. Just how strong are you?"(sven) "Hahahahaha Hero-sama, though I will not be as strong as you later on this old man is still a member of the kingdoms 10 honorary warriors rank 5"(instructor) (((yup, my naming sucks, bear with it..

Not really, its maybe that I somehow knew what to do because I always watch anime"(tessie) "ani--?"(brock) "Its somehow a type of a picture book that moves and have sound effects if converted here."(sven) "Is that so..

Dear Noble-sama,It may be rude to you but can I please see your identification card for just safety purposes. Forgive my insolence but I''m just doing my job"(guard) "Noble?.. Ahh" he looked at his clothes and saw that he was still wearing his polo uniform from earth. It certainly looks formal and expensive for this worlds view so he was easily seen as a noble. "Hah.. Forgive me, I''m no noble, this is just a clothing I gathered from far away..(he remembered promoting the town) There was town near the forest of caldavar where you can take a shortcut to the next kingdom. Going to that kingdom through that town will reduce 12 days of wagon time journey. Its a really good town with cheap products. As for identification cards I don''t have one but I plan on getting it."(Mars) "a town near that forest you say?"(guard) He was working as a guard for 20 years and rised up as a captain. A lower guard told him that there was a lone noble walking towards the entrance and said that nobles would be troublesome to deal with and are arrogant so only him can talk to the noble. From experience he knew that he was telling the truth and was eager to promote this said town. "hah.. Your clothes radiate an aura of danger like nobles emit. Most nobles are troublesome to deal with so I came personally. As for getting your card there were only two options for you. Get an adventurers card or a merchants card. The question is do you have money? Entrance in the town have some small fee and the registration would also require some."(Guard captain) "I''m sorry but I don''t have any, though I can get it if you tell me how right now."(mars) "hoh.. You must be quite skilled coming from there to here with still those clothes on. Getting money would might not be a problem to you. Hunt some monster and bring their hides,tusk,anything beneficial or their corpses with you and sell it to the guild. Just bring it here and Ill do the work of selling it for you."(guard captain) "Hoho.. Thank you.. Ill pay you back later. Tell me your name"(mars) "I''m Elgor, guard captain of the northgate division of bistia kingdom 45th generation"(Elgor said while doing a Shingeki no kyojin like salute)(((right hand on your heart like stabbing it)) "Mars,(he said holding out his hand for a handshake) .. .. .. A Certain Bored Passerby looking for fun :)" "Buwahahaha.. What a title you have. Take care."(elgor) Seeing the youth go through the forest with nothing but his self, he can''t stop smiling. That was Until when he returned back to his office.. . "HE WAS NOT HOLDING ANYTHING... NOT EVEN A DAGGER!!"(ELGOR) .. Chappy 13 Chapter 13 .. Mars was in the forest and sent out a mana sonar to find preys. He have seen several wolf like creatures and and a Humanoid bull deep in the forest. He quickly dealt with the wolves with He didn''t know how to skin them thus he took the entire corpse. He had killed a number of 15 wolves nearby. He didn''t pursue the others because exterminating them would cause environmental problems later. Nearing deeper. He had found his next target. A minotaur, yep a minotaur. A half cow half human axe wielding beast. Everyone should at least know what a minotaur is. The beast sensed him and let out a roar. Mars sent hoping the fight to end already but unexpectedly the minotaur shielded it with his axe. He then sent out stone spikes from the ground but the minotaur jumped and dodged it. "hoh.. Pretty stubborn huh. But how come that you have an axe?."(mars) He had confirmed that the Minotaur is not a sentient creature like Kuma but was just a hungry beast with no intellect and decided to kill it. Seeing his spells not working, he decided melee fighting. He then created an out of thin air and dashed through the minotaur. Seeing the human dash towards him, the minotaur slammed his axe to him and it hit .. .. The ground. Seeing nothing on his axe the minotaur felt a chill on its right side and was about to counter when the feeling transfered on his left side. His body was still reacting on his right but his eyes were already on his left and saw the person about to strike... But he felt nothing.. Until the sword pierced his back through his heart and then died. It was the skill that he used on the minotaur. He can blink a hundred times within a second. It was his first time using this skill and he felt a very small tension on his brain but immediately disappeared. "looks like I''m not that mighty at all"(mars) The minotaur only sensed three afterimages but it was all 34 in total. He just didn''t see the others because it was right through his blind spots. Mars went out of the forest with wolves, minotaur and a giant axe on his storage. Elgor was on the gate instead on his office. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. He was waiting for the boy to come back to borrow some supplies for hunting. It was his concern as he told him to go to the forest barehanded. Seeing the boy from far away made him sigh for relief. When the boy came close and he was about to give him a sword he was curious to the look in the young mans face. It was a face of success He saw this face many times at the battlefield and this young man was wearing it canme from the forest just a few hours ago. "Don''t tell me you killed some monsters?"(elgor) "would this be enough?"(mars) 15 corpses of wolves lay down on the side of the gate with a snap of his finger. Elgor rushed to the barracks near the gate bringing the boy with him. "how?"(elgor) "what d--"(mars) "I mean you don''t even have an armor and even a weapon and you killed that many?"(elgor) "oh.. So that was already considered plenty huh.. I decided to hunt some more because I thought I need some money."(mars) "so what did you hunt other than those?"(elgor) "umm this?"mars snapped his finger and a minotaur corpse appeared "oh and also please sell this"mars said with again a snap and a giant axe appeared. Elgor was speechless about this feat and almost broke his jaw hanging on the ground. "hellllloooo?" mars asked "was it really a big deal? I mean with your strength this would be easy." mars said without any malice and just his pure opinion. Finally snapping back to reality "ha.. Sure I can defeat a minotaur with a giant sword but it has an axe so I will not get home unscathed. But you did it without any weapon and not even a scratch. Just who are you?"(elgor) "Its just magic you know.. And I am just a Bored Passerby as I told you earlier"(mars) "Are you supposed to some arch wizard of sort? Minotaurs like this can dodge almost all magics with this axe and you hit it with magic."(elgor) "well technically I sliced it with this. Mars showed him a sword with some slender features made up ice. .. .. ----------@@@----------@@@--------@@@-------- Author .. Life is hard. Kill minotaurs while you have leisure. .. Philipines = Dubai in terms of temperature right now. Demn Chappy 14 Chapter 14 .. .. "may I?"(elgor) Mars handed him the katana "It will disappear later without mana sustenance. Though recreating it will be no problem."(mars) "this type of sword.."(elgor) "that can be forged easily if you have tamahagane... Well consider that as a legendary metal."(mars) "and you can create this effortlessly..." "it was not permanent. As I told you its one of my magic."(mars) "hah..and here I am worried for such creature..WAHAHAHAHA. Ill do the deal right now and Ill go with you to the guild later."(elgor) He grabbed the minotaurs head with two hands and placed it half on his back,half on the ground. His muscle expanded while carrying the dead beast. Seeing their captain carrying the minotaur, the guards just watched with their jaws dropped to the ground. "hah.. So my face looks like that huh.. I feel so stupid. HELP ME IDIOTS OR ILL MAKE YOU RUN THE WHOLE KINGDOM WALL FOR A LAP."(elgor) The( idiots) guards rushed to the minotaur and lifted it with numbers. It was placed on the barracks to avoid too much commotion and traffic in the entrance. . .. Castle.--- "few days from now will be a tournament for the whole kingdom. Fighters everywhere would come for this tournament for the prizes. The third to first placers would receive gold according to their standing you will enter the competition for fighting experience. Of course the money goes second. Buying clothes and equipments for leisure is not bad sometimes."(brock) "understood, was there any other people that were stronger than us?"(sven) "I don''t know, if its just in the kingdom then maybe none. But it is open to all so you must exercise caution. I''m in no need of money so I wont join. . Apparently the king did won this before so He was ranked number no.2 in the fighters."(brock) "seriously?"(irina) "he may not look like it but if you multiply me by 20, I will still lose. He was just like that because there''s no one out there strong enough for him. The rank one was always in a journey nowhere to be found."(Brock) .. The training began in 3 vs 1 and they still lose. Not knowing if they got better or elgor was just a monster so they go on a break a day before the fight. .. ... .. .. Castle wall----- .. " This would be all the coins. The wolves had accumulated for 3 golds for everything they had as whole. This was for the minotaurs horns that fetched 20 gold each. The meat was unusable but the leather was bought at a price of 15 gold and the eyes for 10 gold. The axe was still unsold. Not knowing if anyone could wield it. Overall you got 68 for the items and another 50 for the subjugation order."(elgor) "maybe Ill take it home. Was a subjugation order like a quest?."(mars) "It is a quest. With subjugation as its order"(elgor) "ooh, makes sense but here''s the total of 118 gold. Is it too much or too small?."(mars) "too small you say, a certain person can live in luxury for a year with 50 gold. In short, your filthy rich.

I consider you now as a friend so Ill help you when the time comes. Break this when you are in a dire situation."mars handed him a crystal which he also handed his people. "thank you,though I don''t know what this is for. By the way, the town that you said."(elgor) "oh, you plan on visiting soon? Its near the highway around the forest so its easy to see from there."(mars) "If we can take a shortcut there instead of the highway. Will it really decrease by 12 days of travel up there? Its usually 18 days but such a ridiculous amount of time being deducted was very beneficial."(elgor) "of course, if you just used it as a shortcut then you would come in just 6 to 7 days to there but if you''re willing to use our inns and take your time to visit, it may be around 10 -12 days of travel."(mars) "hah.. I saw many towns before but none of them was different but it if was you who told me then I can believe that."(elgor) "oh.. And just be sure to take a lot of money for you to spend and buy some souvenirs and food. Income is always beneficial to us."(mars) "hoh.. No problem.. Three days from now, I will lead a caravan of soldiers to the Kinu kingdom to provide escorts to their emissary to here. It was a two way trip for us so we may somehow use your town as a sort of a new highway as it has no problem to you making it a known place."(elgor) "that would no problem to me, in fact I like you to spread its location as much as possible."(mars) "So I will. Well then Ill accompany you to the adventurers guild right now. Its near so no problem about me neglecting my duty."(Elgor) .. .. .. Adventurers guild A heavy plated man came in the guild just like a mexican character ready to draw a pistol. Next was a young man wearing unusual clothes with and aura of a nobility around him. Another heavy muscled man full muscle in every parts came out of the guilds office and went straight to the man. When to was face to face the whole place became devoid of any noise. It was like that time stopped until both of them raised their hands grab each other. The moment the two hands unite. A shockwave formed around it making the air explode blowing up the people around them. And it was just a Handshake. "You came here without giving me presents. How about giving me a fight in exchange for it?"(Alvin) "Still a battle maniac Old man huh.. Well I''m not here to hang out with you.. .. But maybe next time.(he said as both of them smiled) I am here for my friend to register in the guild."(elgor) "I never thought of you introducing me to a noble that you know. Are you really that short, I can lend you some you know?"(Alvin) "Wahahaha, same reaction as me huh. You really thought I would bring some puny noble with me for money? What the hell.. I''ve never been that senile you know. Well in case, I want you to give him your personal examination."( elgor) "if you say so, ..... ROLANDD!!"(Alvin) Elgor touched his shoulder and said. "I said Your Personal examination". Alvin''s eyes narrowed at him looking confused. .. ... -----------@@@@----------@@@@----------- Author.. .. Sorry for the previous chapter. Well... Thank you guys. It fffing hot here Chappy 15 Chapter 15 .. .. " you''re kidding right?" alvin asked elgor unwillingly "I hope I am, but he''s the real deal"(elgor) "hah.. Don''t blame me if he''s injured. Either his face or his honor"(alvin) "I wish you the same." elgor whisperingly muttered. .. .. "come here Kiddo. Show me what you''ve got." elgor led them to a spacious dome looking place with bright lights. It was like a circular dome with high above benches that were made for spectators. "Ill give you your examination. Now choose your weapon."(alvin) He was presented a set of weapons but he didn''t pick one. "Umm was choosing a weapon the examination?"(mars) "nope, you fight me"(alvin) "is that so, I wont get a weapon as none of them was my specialty so forgive me."(mars) "a barehanded huh. Now that''s unusual."(alvin muttered inside his head) Alvin took a spear from the weapons and signalled elgor. "I hereby declare my self as an audience and a witness to this examination. The rules would be no killing but beating up was fine. As for other rules, I don''t know what to say so I fair you both goodluck. ... ... There were four people in the dome in total. Roland, the supposed to be opponent was there to ring the bell to start and end the match. "Match start!!" roland hits the bell. .. Mars raised his hand and produced a fireball in in his right hand and grapple it like paper. "A mage??? And a voiceless one at that!!" .. Apparently no chant mages are rare so he was surprised.. .. upon saying that line the fireball launched like a bullet straight to his head. Alvin was about to slam the fireball with his spear in a baseball like form to parry it but he felt danger in doing it so he hurriedly dodge his body aside from doing it. When he dodged the fireball he expected it to pass through but it didn''t. The fire ball remained near his back .. Mars then snapped his finger The fireball exploded and alvin was thrown forwards. ?¡èBoooOoOOOooM¡è?( sfx) "what th----!!!"(alvin) Seeing the flame explosion. Roland had his jaw on the ground while elgor had big eyes as amusement to this level of magical control, never he did saw one so tactical. When alvin was hit he was blown towards mars so he did a front tumble to reduce the momentum. Seeing the old man still fine mars let out three fireballs at the same time all above his head and starts shooting the old man. The speed was still shocking but it doesn''t explode loudly this time so alvin was able to dodge. ("*to corner me like a dog, just where did you find such monster? I need to get serious.") he thought to himself. Mars felt a change in the old mans aura and he suddenly felt him getting stronger. Sending another fireball, the old man just slapped it with his spear. "what great power, If you can also fight with weapons then I lose. But it seems like its the end." Hearing this remark elgor snorted out a little laugh. (*"not good with weapons he said hahahahahahahaha.") he said inwardly laughing. Alvin dashed towards him and did several thrusting and piercing but mars dodged it all. He aimed for the head doing several pointed strikes but all of it missed. He also aimed for the body but mars started jumping outside the spear range. Irritated by the young mans speed. He imbued mana on his feet and arms to make them also faster. Mars saw this augmentation and decided that he cant dodge it all so He parried the attacks with his two bare hands flicking the spear on the opposite direction of the attack. The old man alvin was very astonished seeing this and just decided to imbue more power. Having short range on his hands and a disadvantage of the spear. He decided to grab the spear but he couldn''t thus He shouted.. ###"RAAAAAAAA"### THE old man was shocked by this and the moment his mind went to the shout the spear was grabbed by underarm and he was hit by a fist and was thrown backwards. Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. Dazed by the attack he continued to roll backwards and the moment he stopped he was lying on the ground. Getting up to continue the fight he felt a cold blade on his nape from the spear that he used and some words that frightened him. "umm, Do I pass?"(mars) The old man dropped to the ground upon hearing this statement Seemingly broken he began to laugh like a madman. "UgWaaghahahahahah!!!! You,.. You trampled me on the ground and still asked if you pass? What the hell is wrong with you boy?"(alvin) "some exams doesn''t test strength and test other values so I don''t know the case thus I asked."(mars) The old man almost died laughing at this explanation so he asked elgor. "Oy, elgor, Where did you get this young man? UNDER A ROCK? .((((U wat? Patrick star?? Author.))))" "Hahahaha he just came to me out of nowhere and asked for some ways to earn money for entrance and registration. Said he came from a town near that Caldavar so I plan to visit soon, wanna come?."(elgor) "you jest? Apparently my break reserves have piled up so I can go anytime, everything looks like they''re still fine. Well no problem. Ill just prepare my self for some vacation."(alvin) The people returned to the guild and discussed while on their way. "apparently with how strong you are. You still need some achievements to rank up to S. Rankings go like this. G, F , E , D, C, CC, B, BB, A, AA, S, SS The ten warriors were all ranked at SS. Monster rating differs because high rangking ones can only be defeated by numbers. g would also be the lowest ranking. Up to B were monsters that can be defeated by 10 rank CC people B+ would be 10Rank BB A would need 10 rank A A+ would need 100 rank A or 10 AA. S and above will be decided on the spot if they met one. Ranking you to SS since you defeated me would have the kingdoms intervention to make you an honorary warrior. Every country will rope you in. Until you accept one, you will be bothered for life. At the level of A I can promote you much but with some achievements S would be easy."(Alvin) "what do you mean that You can? Are you the guildmaster?"(mars) "That so I am. And me being defeated by you was the problem."(alvin) "that would be troublesome indeed but if you need achievement, He just defeated a minotaur.... Singlehandedly."(elgor) Alvin almost tripped at this report. "Young man, always tell me to not get on your bad side, having you as an enemy specially that I see you still holding s back on me would be very... Non beneficial."alvin said with some scared eyes. "no problem, take this, break it when you''re in big trouble." mars handed him a crystal. "whats this?"(alvin) "just break it when you need it and you''ll know."(mars) When the four people returned to the guild alvin was all dressed up again like he was before. "Rest easy because the examination would be considered a secret and no one will ask of it as it was a rule. Take this card and put some piece of your blood in it"(Roland) "if you are the receptionist here then why are you there in the dome and who''s in charge here while you are out?"(mars) "my sister was the receptionist and she was on the back with guild master preparing something. He must have some plan for vacation."(roland) "Now that I got this I wonder what to do."(mars) "if you need something to do with that strength of yours. Try to join the tournament few days from now, pocket money isn''t that bad."(roland) "are you sure you''re not the receptionist? You sound like one "(mars) "I learned from my sister,trust me, she''s good"roland said boastingly ... Now that he got all that he need it was his time for some sightseeing inside the kingdom. .. .. .. --------@@@@--------@@@@+++----+++---- Author here. .. I hope my battle definitions filled up to your taste. Comments are welcome. .. And somebody give me a Too damn hot here Chappy 16 Chapter 16 . The next day mars got out of the inn after getting some sleep and food. He was planning to do some shopping before going to the tournament. He went first to the tailor shop to buy some adventurer like clothes. Then something caught his attention. It was a semi dark blue robe that has black linings that has its long back run all the way to the torso.(((imagine a like a joker''s upper body with excess two tails of cloth that floats like awesome,better get myself a drawing))) It looks so fantasy like that he forgot his reason of buying adventurer like clothes. Although it stands out, it somehow looks natural and blends in to the background because of its fantasy like features. "How much would this be?"(mars) "that would be 15 gold sir"(lady seller) "Was it really durable? Looks easy to move on."(mars) "that was made from an aqua strider. A spider that has a very fluent mobility and water resistance. Although it is a good product. No one would buy it since the price is ridiculously high for a light equipment and it is not very robe like for its compatibility with speed, wizards running at high speed aren''t common."(lady seller) "hah is that so."(mars) "Its okay sir we still ha--(ladyseller) "Ill buy it."(mars) The Lady seller was really shocked about this purchase but she was also happy because her commission on this item was also quite a sum. Because of that reason, she didn''t even bother thinking how such person have so much money to buy that thing on a whim. --- In the background was a pretty girl enthusiastically looking at the dresses corner. --- After equipping the item he just bought. Mars went to the blacksmith store where he met "Some People". -- .. Heroes pov "If its shopping it has to be clothes!!"(irina) "Ill go looking for some weapon"(sven) "food"(tessie) The heroes departed individually. Irina went to the tailor shop. Sven went to a blacksmith. Tessie went to hunt some restaurants. .. Blacksmith--- The sign says Forgo Smithery .. For some reason he can read it but he cant write the characters. "its free to take a look, but damage one and Ill kill you."(dwarf) "that''s fine with me."(mars) "then tell me if you''ll buy one"(dwarf) Mars traversed to the whole store and found some high quality knives,bucklers but swords were none. Over all the shop looks like an old antique shop seller from his pov. The backround matches the products well and the atmosphere was really old era like. Though the sign says its smithery. He didnt like the swords he saw .. Until he went to the counter. "I want to buy that"(mars) "I want to buy that"(??) The two person then looked at each other and carefully examined both entities. *"he somewhat looks stronger than average"(mars) *"this fellow looks like a magician but his muscles were somewhat ripped but it wasn''t obvious until you look at it specifically. Who is he?"(sven) "That one was a heirloom,sadly it wasn''t for sale. Reasons? It was considered as legendary and I didn''t even allow the king to purchase it."(dwarf) "why hang it there if it was not for sale?"(mars) The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation."for the purpose of attracting people like you two."(dwarf) "what do you mean?"(??) "you know that thing was on its scabbard and it looks really old isn''t it? I don''t clean it for it to look like that in its outside appearance. For you to buy this thing even if not knowing and asking it, this thing started out a spark in you or in other way you knew about it."(dwarf) "I am one of the heroes. Sven, nice to meet you" sven said to the dwarf causing him to bulge his eyes but instantly regain his attitude towards the hero . "I am Forgo, for the hero to be here was quite humbling of me but I will not sell it to you even if its that. The one who gave me this sword told that to me and said that the sword would belong to its rightful owner. Who it is? I don''t know. Only the owner can take it out of its sheath and wield it. Such a weapon was called ."(forgo) "how would you know the owner if you wont sell it?"(sven) "I have them take it out from it sheet but no one so far was able to do it."forgo said that as he handed the weapon. Sven was nervous if he could take it out but in a few moments.. .. He pulled it out. "then that was yours, take care of it fr-- He was cut off. "I also want to confirm something so can I try it?"(mars) The two were dumbfounded about the revelation but forgo recovered instantly, again. "this sword has already has its-- He was cut off again "let him do it" sven said as he handed over the sword:(its a typical katana) to mars When forgo was about to complain to the hero he heard the sound of the sword being drawn. The sword was drawn and returned to its scabbard a couple of times. Seeing this the hero and the dwarf almost fainted. But the dwarf recovered again first. "how was it possible?"(forgo) "maybe its a one time seal?" mars handed him the sword for him to try it. "try it, if it opens to you then its not a rare sword at all but if it did open then its a problem why the two of us was able to do it."(mars) When forgo tried to draw the sword his muscles bulged to the point the you could feel the atmosphere around him change into that of an oppressing feeling around him but . It didn''t even move. As if the scabbard was part of the blade to forgo. He used all his strength to but it was futile. "why??" was the words he uttered when reaching such a predicament. "maybe the restriction was general. I somehow want to know how the restriction work so I tried it."(mars) "restriction you say?"(forgo) "yep, well you can have that sword. I lost my interest. Just be careful handling it. That weapon looks like it inflicts a death curse to someone who receive a cut from it." as he said that mars put his hands on his pocket and began to walk away from the shop leaving the two jaw dropped by his very unusual carefree behavior. Then speaking up and recovering first was. .. The hero, this time he was the one to recover first and asked a question. "Your Name!?" sven asked hurriedly "just call me mars, Its my nickname." he said without looking back leaving the two with undescribeable faces. --- ------@--------@-----------@@@@--------- Author here. Chapter breached. Work shall come and me ded. .. No chapters till tuesday. Chappy 17 Author here.. --------- For starters I decided to put the title as that so you would somehow sense that there will be an op character. .. Why is it that he was strong from the start? This is not a korean or chinese xianxia novel. If rrl have the tag of "protagonist strong from the start" then it would be. ... .. Mana usage. ..... Mars wished for a certain magic without the knowledge of the way mana works in that world. The goddess took care of it for arrangements. She was one of the type who help her hero. ... It is said that he read many type fictions or novels as it is said. Those things were his reference to safely pick a choice where if mana works in the different way in there he would have small drawbacks. .. Affinity. It is said that affinity was where you excel at. Mana doesnt work as elemental,void mana etc. Its just mana that you can control. The difference for those who have the affinity for a certain element is that they can control it much better than others. Doesnt mean u cant use other elements as long as u have the knowledge. .. Fast storyline. --basically my fault. Its an op sort of storyline.. OnePunchman didnt even bothered to make an arc for strengthening saitama. .. Spoilers. .. The mc was not that almighy... Unlike opm...sad.. .. .. Chapters... I have work so the update time would really vary. Tried doing it once a day... Just that life needs sustenance.. Now for the chap I decided not to make fixed length for chapters as I do not know when will I have some "me " time ((((very short chap))) -------------- ------ ---------@@-------@------------------@@@@---- Chapter 17 .. Leaving the blacksmith shop he became hungry and thought of eating outside. He was quite not fond on the food in this town but some of them can be considered to be in the rank of Passing. ((for him he ranks it normal- normal would be at the same standards of a cup noodle)) Upon entering a restaurant was a lady in a maid uniform. "welcome, I will lead you to your table" and the maid bowed signaling for him to follow her. (The restaurant somehow looks like a little bit of a crusty crab nature.) But besides the interior nothing was of to be for the record. Besides a girl with several empty dishes on her table. The two look at each other for a moment but looked away after a second. He ordered several dishes but he was not pleased. After a while he exited the place, not satisfied with the food so If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.He kept in mind to do something about it later. A day of shopping was spent thus went to the inn to practice mana and then sleep. .. .. Competition day . A mid sized caravan of soldiers went out of the capital to become escorts for the demi-human country princess emissary. That day many carriages also arrived to watched and join the said arena competition hoping for some fame and profit. . .. ... Mars registered the competition and was numbered 113. The competition proper was defeat someone and move out,to go all out the weapons were debuffed by magic to become dull and avoid killings. Rules were: to defeat a person, one must be knocked out of the arena, make them unconscious or simply just make them surrender. Inside collusion was not profitable because it was a free for all event. They cant just convince every outsiders cause it will cause them too much. .. .. .. The first match was about to begin when the small lady announcer stood up the stage. ... .. "for everyone that were in here I hereby recognize the presence of king Lionel on the arena grand hall!!" *"UOoooooOOO"!!! when she announced that, The crowd erupted in cheers for their king spectating the arena. Aside the king,there were no other honorary warriors in the vincinity. .. The king waved his hand as he smiled. Then returning inside the kings area he then returned to that aura of being lazy, not bothering to watch. .. After the introduction of various groups present to participate or to just watch. The announcer started the competition. .. "now then.. Lets begin the first round!!! Said the announcer as loud cheering erupted in the place.. .. .. Meanwhile... A certain young lady was waving her staff against giant sloth about 8 times big as her. The lady infused her mana on her body and started the flurry. The sloth, sensing the danger covered up with its long arms with knife long nails and some inches thick fur for preparation. .. The staff made a blunt impact against the left arm and produced a shockewave that instantly disabled the arm. The right armed swiped to the lady but she nimbly dodged by jumping overhead and prepared a counter attack. *"(I need to catch up. Or he will never recognize me.).. Thought the lady as the fight continued. .. .chapter end. .. .. Author was ded Chappy 18 Doing a lot of edits First, I am confirming all of my grammatical errors in the story and found plenty. My playful spacing defies physics. In short, its ****. I will be trying to adapt different kinds of writing style starting this chapter and post a poll on w/c was more acceptable. Btw, I thank you all for the comments, please continue the reviews to help me grow. Chapter updates now will vary, as I find it difficult to solidify action scenes. On this chapter I decided to adapt dividing lines. ................Dividing line from author''s corner to the story(adapted from rpgworld)................................... "Announcement Participants!! All must gather inside the grand arena as the rules for the first round will be given!!" (Loudfully announced by a butler looking man at least 6ft with white hair,brown eyes with monocle holding a piece of paper)(((a/n he looks a lot like escanole ((tf seven deadly sins))) "Now then, you have your own numbers right? Then you just need another three for your qualification!! Listen!! In short matter is, you need to defeat/swindle/snatch or whatever it is to get extra 3 numbers rather than your own and head to the second round. " (((huntxhunt adapted))) "now then LETS BEGIN"" The crowd erupted in cheers and the participants began to move. .. Apparently, you can still beat someone even if you complete the numbers. The time limit was two hours. The tricky thing was not only getting the numbers but also surviving the next two hours with your number. Having more than the assigned numbers was quite beneficial. You can just give it to someone that you think who can beat you after your worn out state w/c they will somehow accept to avoid fatigue. But regardless of what you give, you must keep your own number. The first round was quite chaotic, as expected to a royal rumble. ----------1st dividing line--------- ---- --_------- Three big looking man with the same bald hair are ganging up with individuals with numbers. A certain chinese looking man was fighting with a one handed sword against an average looking adventurer that wields a short sword and a buckler. Before the buckler man (((bucklerman lol)))can react. The chinese looking man barraged him with countless needle like piercing attacks. He blocks with his buckler but he cannot attack due to the rapid successions. When the chinese man suddenly stopped his attack the buckler man gained confidence and was about to attack when his buckler shattered. When he looked at the buckler a swift kick came to him. On the other side was a giant man wielding a club blowing up people with strength. The heroes were still unmoving after 30 minutes have passed. "now we''ve seen enough" sven said as he head on a punk looking man that used a single bladed axe. "me too" as irina also rushed on a separate opponent wielding daggers. Tessie just stayed where she is, unmoving, but had her eyes looking dangerous. .. .. Another 30 minutes passed when the heroes began to move. .. .. "Guess Ill start huh" clenching his fist. Mars was about to take a step when three bald people went up to him. "looks easy"(mars) Sven was fighting one on one with a blond girl wielding a staff when. """sfx""BOOM!!"" They both stopped fighting when they saw the people with their head stuck in the wall outside the arena. If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Looking opposite the direction of the corpses--i mean fallen body(they''re alive tho). "Its him!!!" sven widened his eyes at the man blowing the smoke on his fist like a recently fired gun on a certain movie. "*I somehow feel like that I''m that caped bald man here."mars inwardly thought on his self. Wanting to test out the man and have some chat with him, a wooden stick coming straight on the side of his eyes. He dodged the blow performing a backflip series that he learned from brock. "I am your opponent."(??) The unknown individual rained down strikes on him. Sven unsheated a normal looking sword leaving unused. Their fight lasted for some minutes their fight was at stalemate when Sven noticed some people fell down as if it was like they fell asleep. His opponent also noticed this. "Lets fight later, looks like nobody will pick up their numbers anyway so I want to abstain from exhaustion."(???) Taking in the suggestion, Sven nodded and started picking up the numbers. .. ----++++-------dividing line considering that the arena was wide so it was for the other side pov to shown--------------- A rouge like man was battling with a man with a full body black attire with a cape. The caped man just kept dodging for almost an hour until he decided to kick the rouge man. "you''re exhausted, My win."(black caped man) The rouge can only reply with a pained voice from being kicked in the stomach. .. A man wielding a hammer felt dizzy while battling a shadow like fellow who always disappears whenever he attack. "damn,where are you? Stop hidi-- uggh" the hammer wielding man was elbowed in the face and fainted on the spot. "Somebody was using sleep huh. It looks like I''m the only assassin here so It may be a magician, but where?"(shadow like being self proclaimed assassin) .. Meanwhile. "hoo* I came here for some extra pocket money since its not bad having too much but I can see something "Interesting". (mars) *the round ended. "NOW THAT EVERYBODY HAD COLLECTED ALL THEIR NUMBERS LETS NOW MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PHASE!!! BUT BEFORE THAT! THE NUMBER OF CONTESTANTS EXCEED BY ONE SO WE WILL HAVE A SPECIAL AWARD TO THE ONE WHO DEFEATED THE MOST PEOPLE!"(Announcer) The participants drew their attention towards the announcer while holding a card that seems to have the battle results. "NUMBER 3, YOU WILL NOW MOVE ON THE FINALS SINCE YOU HAVE DEFEATED 63 PEOPLE!!! YOU Will be awarded FOR THE NEW RECORD!!"(announcer) When the three heroes met up They remembered that their numbers were respectively 1,2 and three. "aa-ano, looks like Ill move on first so, a-Ill excuse myself" the girl bowed to her companions before leaving. "I didn''t even see her fight, just how strong was she?"(Irina) "me neither*"(thinking to himself) "was it she the one who did that?. Well that''s highly likely but how come I didn''t notice her, was I too absorbed in the fight?"(Sven) While the two were busy finding out their companions strength the announcer did not let them continue further. "NOW THEN ITS A DUO COMPETITION! "" THE RULES WERE THE SAME AND BUT THIS TIME YOU PICK A PARTNER AND TRY TO KNOCK THE OPPONENTS OUT THE ARENA!"(ANNOUNCER) .. The arena grounds shrinked to a size that was not to big nor too small for 4 people. .***************************** Chapter ending line ********* Author here. .. Sorry for the delay.
