Boom!!
“Ouch!! Ouch!! Ouch!! My ass hurts!! Damn that stupid lizard, he didn't even tell me he was going to send me right away....Huh where am I?”
Brushing the dirt off my clothes I survey my surroundings only to find myself staring at a forest filled with giant trees. What surprised me was that one side of the forest was green and healthy while the other looked dry and eerie giving me the impression that ghosts and demons would reside there.
“I guess nature has its bipolar moments too huh. Mmm Is that a mountain? Sure is tall, I'm guessing it's around the size of Mount Everest from back on Earth”
I decide to take a picture of it but forgot that the stupid lizard kept my phone.
“Damn that stupid lizard, he kept my stuff without even asking for permission!
Well he did say he'll give me a sort of “skill” in exchange for my phone.
Mmm…how do I activate it again? Was it…open [Menu]?”
[Name: Yuki Kiyota]
[Level: 1]
[Titles: Otherworlder - Increased EXP and Skill Point gain
Assassin - Slight increase in EXP gain]
[Unique Skills: Reaper - Reap skills from targets
Enchanter - Enchant anyone or anything with magic
Menu - Shows skills, titles, and allows user to allocate points to selected skill.]
Hoh I guess not even world traveling can change my origins huh.
I guess these are the skills he told me I would have but how do I use them? Logically speaking I should be able to use them same as [Menu] but I have absolutely nothing to practice with. I need a target so I guess i'll try to look for one while heading towards that mountain. But what are "Titles"? Also what does Increased EXP mean?
*sigh*
“How did i get myself into this anyways?” (Yuki)
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Ring! Ring!
“What’s up” (Yuki)
“You got a new target.”
“Alright just send me the location and i'll be there.” (Yuki)
Hanging up I receive a message from my phone.
Anzu Apartments Unit #3
“Guess i'm not sleeping tonight huh *sigh* and my show is on its last episode today too.” (Yuki)
My name is Yuki Kiyota, 17 years young and a high school student at Suzuki High School. I'm 5’10 with a lean figure, gray eyes, light skin, medium-long black hair tied up in a ponytail and an assassin for the Kiyota clan in Tokyo, Japan. Yup, just your average high schooler with a secret of his own.
“Found it” (Yuki)
Upon finding my targets home I sneakily let myself in.
Well I say sneakily but I know he isn’t home because his lights aren't on so I just hide myself in the closet, pull out my phone and wait until he comes home.
[2 hours later]
“No dumbass don't open the closet you know the monster is in there why don't you just run away like a normal pers-” (Yuki)
Clink! Clink!
“Oh shit he’s here” (Yuki)
I put my phone in my pocket and wait for my target to open his door.
Clink!
The door opens and I see a man in his 30s around 6’ open the door to the unit and walk towards his fridge to get something to drink. I thought there would be more targets but i guess it's only one person, this will be easy.
Leaving the closet I eliminate my presence as much as I can and stealthy walk towards my prey with a blade in hand.
Swish!
HUH??..... I missed? Impossible.
“Hoh, so they sent an assassin after me this time” (Man)
I hear a voice behind me and turn around immediately.
“Pretty good skills, you’re the first human in ages that's ever gotten this close without me noticing. How old are you? That's some talent you got there.” (Man)
Shit what quick reaction speed, he dodged me in an instant. Haha what a crazy guy he almost got killed but he still has the audacity to ask questions.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
I start attacking him again and again but he keeps dodging. What the hell is this guy? He's been texting on his phone with one hand while holding a cup of water on the other. It pisses me off but he's good.
Splash!
“Ahh you spilled water all over my floor kid, you better mop it up. If you don't do it im gonna make you clean it with your tongue haha” (Man)
“Shut up!” (Yuki)
“Haha you're a feisty one aren't you, i'm guessing that means that you wont clean my floor the nice way huh. Guess i'll make you do it myself hahaha!” (Man)
I stop attacking him. Not because I want to but more like I can't move, i'm frozen in place! What the hell?! How can someone do this?!
Grabbing a knife from his pocket he starts to let an unimaginable amount of killing intent ooze out from his body. I can tell he's ready to kill me.
Shit am I going to die here? No I can't die here I'm too beautiful! If I die how many girls would weep and try to commit suicide to join me?!?! No I must survive no matter what!
“Here I come haha!” (Man)
Returning to reality I see him swiftly rush at me ready to kill me and then-
He died.
Stunned I look towards the ground where I see a corpse lying down with a knife in its heart.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
“.......HAHAHAHA DUMBASS!! He actually killed himself what the fuck hahahaha!! OMG my sides hurt shit hahaha!!” (Yuki)
The idiot killed himself by slipping on the water and stabbing himself with the knife in his heart haha. Of course I knew this would happen!?! Duh that's why I knocked the water off his hand in the first place. Obviously me being the genius I am I had a plan B all along, my plan was so good he didn't even see it coming!
“Haha, well.... I guess it's time to go-” (Yuki)
Boom!
Shit that's really bright I can't see anything, and what the hell is that noise?
“You little brat you actually got me killed!” (Man)
What the hell isn't that the dead dudes voice?!
“Dammit all I was doing was checking up on planet Earth but I just had to get bored and start gambling! I knew I would've gotten noticed sooner or later but I didn't think I would actually die! Especially by an insect like you!” (Man)
Checking up? What is he talking about and where is he? I can't see anything except bright lights all around me.
“Hey are you listening brat, now I can't do my work because of you!” (Man)
“Where the hell are you I can't see anything?!” (Yuki)
“Hah? Oh yeah I forgot to turn off my lights to a level you can see.” (Yuki)
Lights dimming I start to look around and try to understand my current location.
I'm in a completely white room with walls stretching to god knows where. I don't know how I got here but I look towards the voice of my problems and see something which would only appear in my dreams.
“Haha look at my magnificent figure lowly human for I am Dredd, the Dragon God.
Not only am I the most supreme existence in the universe, I am also the most beautiful haha stunned speechless aren't you! Well that's to be expected of an existence such as-” (Dredd)
“Giant Lizard..” (Yuki)
“....What?” (Dredd)
“YOU’RE A GIANT LIZARD HOLY SHIT!” (Yuki)
“......” (Dredd)
Standing in front me is a giant lizard about 3 stories high with golden scales and red eyes that feel like they see straight through me. It has 2 legs and 2 arms as thick as a bundle of tree trunks tied together that give me the impression that simply by walking they can create fissures in the earth. Its tail and wings are also long, almost the size of a football field. Honestly i've never seen a lizard this big.
“Stay still i'm gonna take a picture of this. Haha to think I would meet a giant lizard that can even speak, I wonder how many people will like this.” (Yuki)
“... IMPUDENCE! I AM THE DRAGON GOD HOW DARE YOU COMPARE ME TO A LOWLY LIZARD!” (Dredd)
“Huh, but why would a dragon be in front of me? Specifically a so called GOD?” (Yuki)
“Little brat you got me killed while I was having fu- *cough* *cough* I mean while I was working. So isn't it obvious that I called you here for revenge!” (Dredd)
Oi, you just said fun didn't you.
“So now that you brought me to wherever the hell I am, what will you do with me?” (Yuki)
“.........” (Dredd)
“........” (Yuki)
Did he really forget?
“Giant lizard are you ok-” (Yuki)
“Stop calling me that! I'm Dredd remember that!” (Dredd)
“Okay Mr.Giant Lizard why did you call me here?” (Yuki)
“*sigh* Whatever. Human I have summoned you here to kill you… or I would like to but because I still need one more world to check on I can't do that.” (Dredd)
“What's that got to do with me?” (Yuki)
“Everything. Summoning you took an enormous amount of magic power, plus forcefully taking you out the world while you're still alive added more of a burden to me.” (Dredd)
“Still what does that have to do with me being here?” (Yuki)
“Jeez calm down kid. Usually someone would get scared when they realize they've gotten summoned out of their world, some even die from shock. How are you still so calm?” (Dredd)
“Simple. I saw this in an anime” (Yuki)
“.....” (Dredd)
“So now that I answered your question can you answer mine?” (Yuki)
“Yeah yeah, hahh humans these day just get weirder and weirder. Well summoning magic is something only a select few can do and I wasted almost all my remaining magic power on you because I wasn't thinking right. It's my job travel to different worlds and check up on them every now and then but it takes me a lot of magic power to accomplish that. After every vaca-, job I have to rest for a couple of years to recuperate but I still have one more world to check up on and I have no more magic power left to send myself and you back home so I'm in pinch. That world also happens to be facing a crisis which I had to fix. That's where you come in, since you're already here I will be sending you alone to do solve that worlds crisis in my place. This way I can hibernate and recuperate while still doing my job, haha aren't I a genius!” (Dredd)
Oi you were about to say vacation weren't you. Aren't you just too lazy to work?
“But if you still have enough magic power to send me to another world why not use it on yourself?” (Yuki)
“Because I only have enough magic power for one more summons. Meaning that if I send you back to your world I would be using up all my power while not finishing my duty.” (Dredd)
“I get it now, but it's still pretty much your fault for getting into this mess. So to make things simple, I only need to check if your world is working properly. But what if there are other problems occurring? Also, when I'm done doing your job will you be able to send me back to Earth?” (Yuki)
“If there are other problems then fix them idiot. That's the whole reason for me me sending you, and no I will most likely still be sleeping so you have to that yourself. Upon going to that world you will be able to wield magic so you can send yourself back home when you're done” (Dredd)
“But if you, a God, has so much trouble summoning me, what makes you think I will be able to do it?” (Yuki)
“I will give you skills which will help you level up and acquire enough magic power to be able to do summoning magic at this scale. Although there are some consequences when doing this magic im sure it won't trouble you and I say “give” but it's mostly me activating something in your soul. Every living being has this but only some know the way to activate them. Well the skills depend on the soul, if you have a normal soul like every other living being then you get 1 or 2 skills max. Only in some rare occasions will someone get 3 skills. So it depends on you whether you get 1 skill or 3 skills.” (Dredd)
So that means that if i figure out this technique even I can use this to unlock other people's unique skills.
“Although you might only get 2 skills at most, i'll give you a unique skill of mine called [Menu] in exchange for that phone of yours since I can't have you taking things from one world to another. You'll learn to use [Menu] when you get there so don't worry about it now. That world is fundamentally different from Earth. It has magic, monsters, and a level up system. Think of it like an RPG. So any more questions before I send you?” (Dredd)
While thinking of the question I should ask, the giant lizard takes the phone from my hand and then extends his tail and touches my chest. Soon I feel my chest ache for a moment and then the pain vanishes in an instant.
Seems sketchy as hell but i'm sure that was him just giving me the skills.
Ahh I know what to ask now, I've wanted to know this for a while.
“If I want to travel between worlds or stay in that world, will you permit it?” (Yuki)
I gotta finish my mangas and animes obviously.
“Hahaha if you are able to do it then go for it! But let me warn you, don't get noticed by other gods or you will regret it.” (Dredd)
“Well if their all as stupid as you i'm sure I can manage-” (Yuki)
Boom!
HOLY SHIT I'M FALLING FROM THE SKY!
“AHHHHHHHH!!! STUPID LIZARD ILL GET YOU BACK!!!” (Yuki)
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
So now i'm back to where I started.I kept all my gear such as my blades and shurikens but that stupid lizard kept the most important thing I had on me. My phone. It sucks but I just have to deal with it. So currently i'm running towards that tall mountain which I decided to call Mount First because it's the first mountain i've seen in this world. Why am I heading towards Mount First you ask? Simple. I can't see anything but giant trees all around me, so I need to get somewhere elevated so I can find my way out. I've been running for approximately 3 hours and to my surprise I have not encountered anything.
*rustle* *rustle*
Ah shit I think raised a flag, I knew I shouldn't have thought about that.
*rustle* *rustle*
Feeling tensed and nervous I get into a battle stance and ready my weapons. This is my first encounter with anything in this world so I have to be careful.
Seconds later I see a creature that can only exist in another world.
Plop!
“....it's a slime?” (Yuki)
What i'm looking at is a round black creature with a jello-looking texture approximately 2 feet in circumference with no features whatsoever except for a red orb moving around its belly. It doesn't look dangerous, on the contrary it looks kinda cute.
“Haha I was worried for a bit but to think I got scared of a mere sli-” (Yuki)
Boom!
Blegh! *Cough* Cough*
“What the fuck!” (Yuki)
I feel pain throughout my body and notice that there is blood on the ground. My blood. Tasting the blood that came out my mouth i have one thought.
This slime is strong as hell. It's another world so slimes might be one of the strongest monsters in this world. A simple charge from it felt like a car ramming into me and i can barely catch my breath. I can’t let my guard down.
I swing my blade. I miss. Swing. Miss. Swing. Miss.
Damn it! Its surface is so slimy and I feel like i'm slashing at water every time my blade makes contact with it. Why won't it die??What do I do?!!
…….
Stop. Think things calmly. Look for a weak point. You're an assassin, you've been trained for this.
*sigh*
Today has been a shitty day. It was my first time failing to kill someone. I met a giant lizard who told me I had to help him finish his job. I went skydiving. I lost my phone. And now i'm fighting a slime. Too many things have occured today and I still haven't adjusted. Its no wonder why I feel so tense and why I can't concentrate. Relax and breathe.
...Now kill your opponent!
