Begin.Recollection-Trope1

Finally... they even insisted to pay for our lodging! At some randome inn!

Honestly, this place was horrible... well compared to before, with a warm bed and nice insulation... im talking about my home.

But they did say it was expensive after looking at the prices... i even told them not to...

Currently sitting on the bed cross legged... i was staring at my System thing, finally giving me time to check what these things are...

"Bro! This place sucks!... i wanna go back home!"

"Cool, anyways, im gonna test the 'System' now, okay?"

"What! You don't even care about your own sister?"

I can hear the overly sad voice as i turn around annoyed.

"We cant, so why even care?"

"...y-you're lying..."

What the? She looks sadder...?

"We are in god-knows-where at a random inn, in a whole different universe. Do you really think we can go back?"

"...i-i... hmpf..."

With that, she just turned her body to face the wall as she lied down in bed.

"Don't sulk."

"Shut up..."

Damn it... now i look like the monster here.

"Listen Em... what's wrong?"

"What do you mean 'what's wrong?' We're lost in, what you said, 'a whole different universe'! How can i not be sad? I had friends! What about mom and dad! I-i... i want to go back..."

...i dont even know what to say...

"Hm... well... im still here..."

"..."

She finally turned back around to face me.

"I guess... so dont leave me too..."

With her quiet voice... i gently smiled to reassure her, it isn't bad to be a kind brother sometimes.

"I wont."

I turn back to face the System window still infront of me.

Hmm... the elephant in the room.

"What the hell is an Err?"

"Huaam... i dunno, Error?"

I turn to see her just staring at me.

"Aren't you going to go sleep? We have a long day ahead."

"Okay, fine. Dont ask for my help when i'm ASLEEP!"

With that, she turned around again... i have no idea what to do with her.

Sighing, i turn to the System again.

'Hmm... lets check the first skill...'

Pressing '€~~° !=+/', the information for it was... weird to say the least.

『E]×=rr★★★ [Return]

(Unupgradeable)

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

-○○○○●○○○●○○○○○●○○●○○○●○○○○○○●○○○○○○○° 』

Okay... what was i thinking...

Pressing return, i check the information to the skill below it.

'Hmm... Translation? It must be passive...'

『Translation ★☆☆☆☆ [Return]

(Upgradable)

- Translates languages. (Omitted) 』

Okay, this is what i can get behind. But it doesn't say if it is passive or not so... that's new info i guess.

And finally... the most simplest skill name... Punch.

Pressing more info on it...

『Punch ★ [Return]

(Unupgradeable)

-Surrounding your fist with MP and release upon contact.

-Exponential to your mp stat.

-Can change output of MP used. 』

...so that's why i fainted from my sudden loss of MP... and how i was strong enough to punch that orc-... Mratri?... Glitch?... hang on, what do i call it?...

'Hmm... it said Mratri first... it was around Lv 50? Can't remember, but when i blinked... it was a glitch... they even said it wasn't dead.'

Soon a realisation came.

'It isn't dead?... how? I blew off its head with Punch...'

Feeling fatigued from thinking... i lie on the bed, thankfully there was two beds here, and i begin to sleep...

♤♡◇♧

"Wake up!"

BANG–

My morning? You would think it'd be peaceful but nope...

"Get off me!"

The she-devil decided to jump on my stomach as she woke me up.

"? Ah, finally!"

As she heard my voice, she got off.

"What the hell was that for!"

"You wouldn't get up."

...why is she so smug?

"So why did you jump on me!"

"Because you wouldn't wake up, plus this isn't the first time i did this so what's the problem?"

...I'm going to Punch her in the stomach soon.

"Well, back then, you weren't FAT!"

"...what did you just say?"

○ ○ ○

What are two things you should never say to a girl?

One, their age! Only if they are old.

Two, their weight! I learned that the hard way...

"Hmpf..."

My cheeks are redder than a tomato as i rub my puffed face.

"Owmph..."

I began to speak, even if it was muffled.

"Owkphey. Mwhe nwheeth tho thinth a mway owth oth thith pulaeth."

"H-hm? C-could you r-repeat that? P-pft..."

"...nwo."

Hearing her stifled laughs... i could only hold myself back.

I began to walk out of our room as it was only for one night.

"Wait for me!"

I heard her footsteps from behind me as she sprinted towards me.

We kept walking and soon we passed the front desk.

"Please come again!"

"Thank you."

Walking out... our situation hit me in the face.

"Hang on... how are we going to find a way out?"

"I thought you knew."

My sister bluntly decided to point out.

"Well i guess we first need to summon that guy... i guess."

We began walking towards... anywhere i guess.

"Who?"

"Y'know... that guy. Blindfold? Robot arms? Wings? Crown symbol?"

Passing by alot of people giving us weird stares... probably due to our clothes.

"Oh! I just call him J."

"...why?"

"Because of that sick robot show and its MC! J-0N!"

We keep walking through until we reach a place the people we met before recommended, 'The International Association of Adventuring Licensing '...

"Uh bro... is this really an adventurers guild?"

"It is... as those three said, it is an 'Adventurers guild...'"

"Adventurers guild? This sounds more governmental with its name."

"Ofcourse you would complain about a name..."

We opened the front door to reveal a roster of weird looking people... ofcourse we were the weirdest with how we were dressed.

"Sis, c'mon."

She decided to shuffle closer to me as i called her to follow me.

Feeling the stares, we could see almost everyone staring at us.

Finally, we make it to the front desk.

The receptionist looked very professional.

"Welcome to the International Association of Adventuring Licensing... what can i do for you?"

Her voice was very monotone but held an air of composure and power.

"Hello, we came to get an adventuring license."

"Age? You two look a little young."

"Ah... what is the legal age?"

She raised an eyebrow at my question.

"The legal age to obtain an adventuring licence is eighteen."

"Ah, well i just turned eighteen and didn't know what the age limit was."

She took out a document and pen.

"Just sign here and i can issue a badge for you... will she be considered an apprentice to you then?"

Apprentice? Badge? This is all so different to what i imagined... but i just have to play along.

"...yes, thats correct."

"Alright then, the age for an apprenticeship to an adventurer is twelve and over, how old are you?"

"Hm?"

She was definitely not focused as she turned to face her as she noticed she was staing at her.

"She asked what your age is..."

I word it so that it just seemed like she wasn't listening.

"Ah, thirteen!"

"?"

The receptionist tilted her head.

"Oh, she said thirteen. We came from a different country."

"Ah, understood, well all she has to do is to sign her name underneath yours."

I hand her the pen and tap the spot under my name, i think i gave her enough hints.

"...?"

Clearly not.

"Your name..."

Whispering to her, i continue to tap at the spot quietly.

". . .oh!"

She signed her name at the spot where i tapped.

"Alright sir, here is your full Adventurers Badge, you will start of at G rank and climb up the ranks by completing quests at the quests. Be advised that if you do not complete any quests in a three month time period, you will have your licence revoked and will have to pay a fine."

She sounded so boring... but the information was necessary, i guess if we haven't found a way out of this place in three months that is.

She handed me a badge with the letter G on it.

"And here is your apprentice badge. There is no inactivity period for your badge as you will be under Mr Lostiru as if his license if revoked then yours will too."

She handed the less designed and smaller badge with a pluss sign on it to Emily.

Ofcourse she took it, while being confused.

"Thank you and come again."

"Goodbye."

After slightly bowing my head, i began to leave with Emily as she followed me from behind.

"Translator, what did she say?"

"She said that your badge has no time period of inactivity."

"...english?"

"You don't have to do any quests for yours to be revoked."

She looked shocked.

"S-so yours can?"

"Yeah, if i dont do a quest for three months, then i will get my badge revoked, that includes yours since you are my 'apprentice.'"

"Apprentice? Who agreed on that!"

"Oh, forgot to say, eighteen us is full adventurers while twelve to seventeen have to be apprentices, like an L driver!"

"...urgh."

"Dont be like that. All we have to do now is find a way out of here, first lets find information..."

"How? Like a library?"

"I guess thats a start."

♤♡◇♧

'J' was sitting alone on a throne, the surrounding was split in half as beside him was another throne.

"Oh my Sol... where are you..."

'J' spoke as he rested his chin on his hand.

Suddenly, he could hear something.

「DETECTED」

"Is it more of those who wish to be real?"

「CORRECT」

"Sigh... how many more must i fight... until my Sol can come back."
