In the train, I was trapped in the endless sea of people. There was noise everywhere. I heard someone's cell phone ringing, two people fighting angrily over one of them pushing the other. On top of that, I got squeezed between two men, one of them had a humungous beer belly, the other one had sweaty back, I could smell an old man odour from him. To make matter worse, I felt something weird was sticking out from my lower mouth to my upper lips, which if I had to guess, was my tusks.
Why now? I had to force my hand to squeeze through those two men and cover my mouth. I'd been wondering about the cause of my tusk protruding out, but now, I more or less had found the answer. I only felt nothing but anger and annoyed.. Like 10% anger and 90% annoyed. Back on my house, I did get annoyed by my mom's shrill voice and the sound of my alarm, so I guessed my feeling was the impetus?
While I was thinking that, I'd started noticing that no one was paying their attention to me, at least those two men that had nonchalantly squeezed me didn't even bother to bat an eye toward me. Which was good as I could peacefully hide my tusks and hoped they would shrink down. But my naive thinking immediately sunk down as, without any real reason, I suddenly received my first quest.
Stop 5 molesters. Reward: 100 Experience Point. 100 Faction Point. Accept / Decline.
Molest 5 people. Reward: 100 Experience Point. 100 Faction Point. Accept / Decline.
What kind of quest is this?! My eyes twitched as I read them. I didn't know what I had expected but maybe something, like killing a slime or even gathering some herb would be 100% more appropriate (and a lot more cooler) for a first quest.
Speaking of which, even though it might seem strange, I saw the quest screens rather than directly received them. The 'stopping molester' quest was floating right at the back of a thin college student on my left while 'becoming molester' quest was located near the plumptious ass of a businesswoman on my right.
And even though I was having a hard time to move around, my gamer spirit was still screaming 'take the freaking quest.' But which one? I actually had been thinking about taking the second one as it was easier to molest someone, and since the quest didn't particularly tell me to molest a girl but someone, I could've just molested those two men that were squeezing me and still did progress. However, I immediately threw that thought away. First, I didn't want to get accused of molesting two older men. Second, I didn't have the know... No, I did have the knowledge that I'd gathered from watching a few molesting porn so, more or less I knew what I should do, maybe... Anyway, I didn't have the guts to do that.
With a resolution far higher than my resolution to go to my high school entrance exam, I pushed and shoved my way just for the sake of touching 'accept' from 'stop 5 molesters' quest.
Quest List Stop the molester (0/5.) Reward: 100 Experience Point. 100 Faction Point. (Forfeit)
A new screen appeared right in front of my face and I was sure this meant I had received the quest. At the same time, the other quest disappeared from the businesswoman's ass.
Now how the hell I could move and find the molester?
I might be exaggerating my current predicament, but I had to spend ONE stamina point for squeezing my arm from those two and accepting the quest. With only 40 Stamina left, I personally thought I wouldn't be able to catch all the molesters. Yeah... this was something beyond any man limit.
Then again... I had something that not exactly a man, right?
Once again I forced my hand back to my pants pocket and... Fuck. I thought as I found my hand got trapped in a very uncomfortable position. I didn't need to see it, but I was sure if I moved my hand it absolutely would graze the beer belly man's crotch... but for the sake of my quest, I still did that nonchalantly.
My hand felt a weird and yet familiar sensation. It was something squishy and yet still had enough hardness on them. I heard him did a little moan as my hand finally managed to take my phone from my pocket. I felt his belly twitched as I pulled my hand in a single fluid movement, but after that whole ordeal, I finally managed to set my hand free.
I opened my front camera and found the puppy was still sitting on top of my head while holding his head high with a loyal expression. As for the headless samurai, his body was half-fusioned with the plumptious businesswoman as if she was trying to swallow him.
Either way, I was thinking about how to make a contract with them. Maybe a blood pact? an oath? a written contract? There were many possibilities but for now, I just tried the basic options: Asking directly. "So... do you guys want to become my totem spirit?" I whispered quietly.
"Woof!" The puppy barked happily. By the way, the source of its bark was coming from my phone speaker.
The samurai proudly drew his katana and held it high at the air... I guessed he was trying to do a pose of some sort? It was hard to tell though since the way I saw it, it almost looked like he was stabbing through the businesswoman. Anyway, as soon as they did that, two screens appeared in front of me.
The dog spirit is looking at you as if it wants to be your Totem spirit. Accept / Decline.
The headless samurai ghost wants to become your Totem spirit. Accept / Decline.
I tilted my head as I stared at those two floating blue screens. Why the wording is different? But I just shrugged that unimportant question away and once again forced my hand to move just to click the accept bar.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Gotcha! Dog spirit was caught! Would you like to give a nickname to Dog spirit? Yes / No.
You have made a contract with the headless samurai ghost! Would you like to give a nickname to him? Yes / No.
What is the deal with the different wording? Once again such thought crossed my mind but I just shrugged my shoulder along with the thought as there were several more important things that I had to do right now.
First of all, their nickname. Calling them Dog Spirit and Headless Samurai Ghost would be inefficient and very mouthful. If this was a game, I wouldn't mind by going with the name Pussyslayer69 or something like that. But they were a 'living' being and my consciousness wouldn't let me give that name away.
Anyway, other than his ghostly white fur and thin body, the puppy didn't have any other distinctive feature. I wanted to name him Shiro but that just sounded lazy... well, since he was a dog and a spirit, I guessed the only appropriate name was...
Wraitheon's status has been added to your list of spirit totem.
Status Strength 10 Vitality -- Endurance -- Dexterity 8 Agility 9 Awareness 17 Intelligence 2 Wisdom 12 Memory 5 Presence 6 Spirit 6 Luck --
Oh? I only thought the name of Wraitheon and the system already named him? Anyway, Wraitheon's status screen was a little bit different than mine, not like that matter much, but there was one big thing that bothered me from his screen. Like, what the fuck?? Wraitheon's Strength was twice than mine?! Was this mean my stats were far below average?!
After knowing the fact that my Strength or actually, most of my stats were only half of a puppy that only had bones covered in thin fur, I could only sigh with a slouched shoulder. I didn't know how I should feel, but I had lost my will to pick the headless samurai name. Though, not giving him a name wasn't an option either. Anyway, since he was a samurai I guessed I would name him...
Sam's status has been added to your list of spirit totem.
Status Strength 17 Vitality -- Endurance -- Dexterity 13 Agility 8 Awareness 3 Intelligence 9 Wisdom 10 Memory 11 Presence 12 Spirit 19 Luck --
Sam's Awareness was only 3? Well, he didn't have a head so I guessed that was... normal? But how the heck a headless ghost still had a higher Intelligence and Memory than me?! Nevertheless, I'd just ignored small things like that and started to focus on my quest.
No matter how I looked at those two, Wraitheon was a better choice for finding the molesters since he... had eyes, ears, nose and the most important part, a head.
My eyes rolled upward and now I could directly see a thin dog sitting above my head. "Okay... Wraitheon, can you go find five molesters?" I quietly whispered, though, the college student suddenly turned around and stared at me with weirded expression.
"Woof!!" I could hear Wraitheon's bark directly from my head. He jumped... or should I say floated away from my head to the other's and five seconds later, he already barked from the southern part of this carriage.
I scowled. I knew it was only five seconds walking time from my current position to Wraitheon, but...
The crowd was massive but... from among those crowd, there was a poor young girl getting molested. Yes. This was my chance. The flag had been raised.
Clenching my fist, I marched forward. I got elbowed. I got yelled and scorned. Someone sweat was falling directly into my body. But after going through that ordeal, I finally arrived.... only to find Wraitheon was sitting at the head of some random and very normal plain looking man. He just... didn't give any kind of molester vibe.
"....." With ragged breath, I silently stared at Wraitheon. Now that I thought about this... how could a dog know the word molester?
I waved my hand for a little bit, beckoning him to come and was going to show him one of my hidden files.
Though, much to my surprise, Sam suddenly waved his hand right in front of my face. He thumped his chest as if he was saying 'leave it to me' and started going off on his own. Around four seconds later, I saw a Katana sticking out from the middle of the passenger, near the entrance door.
I didn't expect much from him but I still followed him. With a slouched shoulder, I marched forward and after once again going through the same ordeal, I finally arrived.... only to find a molester...no, two molesters.
Their victim, if I had to guess, was a middle schooler just like me. She was a pale-skinned small and thin girl with long, straight black hair styled in a hime cut that she kept untied. With black eyes and light pink lips combined with her black seifuku uniform with some parts colored white and red, I had to say she looked like one of those actresses from the Adult Video.
Speaking of AV, she got squeezed between those two men. One of them was rubbing her bottom with perverted look while the other one nonchalantly squeezing her bosom while sniffing at her. The girl was biting at her lower lips with teary eyes.
"Er..." I hesitated for a bit. Okay, that was fortunate (or unfortunate) that I found two at the same time, but the problem was... how the hell I could stop them? Should I just grab their arm and tell them to move away? wait... now that I thought about this, I only needed to stop them, right?
"Urgh..." I groaned. I did have an idea that could stop all of the other molesters. But as I thought about that Idea, I felt my stomach knotted and churned as if I'd had half a bite of one of my sister cooking. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I took another one, but this time I inhaled deeply and with one single decisive breath, I shouted. "MOLES-" Fuck, I bit my own tongue. I hadn't been able to finish my words and now everyone was looking at me as if I was a weirdo of some sort. The two molesters that had been molesting that girl was now moving away from her with unsatisfied expression, staring at me with hatred. The girl herself was now staring at me. As our eyes met, I received a notification.
Congratulations! You have stopped 5/5 molesters! Received 100 Exp and 100 Faction Point.
Congratulations! Your level is now 2! You have received 3 Status point, 1 Ability point and 1 Class point.
If I ignored the fact that I'd just died a little bit... socially. I guessed the result was pretty... satisfying?
