I gained a sword usable skills! It was really unoriginal but always appreciated. It consisted of infusing my sword with mana and release it in a powerful ranged slash who... Well, slashed the enemy obviously.
Arthur sometimes passed at the Guild to takes news and tell puns... One time he came morphed into myself, it caused some trouble, some guys even though I've got a sibling. Though I could tell it was him from the beginning because of the name and level above him. What a cheat ability.
Aevy also passed once, he was level 160 last time I've seen him. I don't know if he level up fast or slowly... I would say fast.
The technology is also implementing slowly in Angeluna, Citizens are learning how to use phones or really anything who could be called supernatural for them. That's mean everything that's technologic.
One day, Nell called me to the palace, it as apparently urgent. I got into the throne room and Nell told me the situation we were in. She seemed really serious in contrary to her more playful nature.
-War is coming. All of the countries allied themselves to go on a war against us. Our spies intercepted a letter of Grandedge saying that their army was ready for the siege of Angeluna to both Whitay and Bergen. And after further inspections of our spies, we can confirm that this letter was the real deal.
Wait what?! That one heck of a bomb dropped!
-We sold them technologies, but apparently, the fact that we kinda took over Kemna was too much for them, so a conspiracy against the country of monsters was made. And now we need all of the help possible in war.
That was really bad, but then I thought:
-What about Wrath? He could help us! He already took your post when we were at Kemna!
-True, I in fact already asked him to help us, but after calling me a bitch who can't defend against only some countries, he left.
-Man, that guy is a dick.
-Not really. He just wants challenge in his life. He owed me a favor already because we fought before he becomes one if not the strongest person on this planet. And keeping the kingdom safe was only the favor being used. At least, he is not against us, which is already a relief, or we would have already lost the war.
-I guessed already, how did he even achieve his level?
-I don't know, what is even his level? He hides it all the time. I know he could easily kill me. But I don't have some cheat ability to scan the levels of people me!
She was a bit jealous. I could understand, I would also be jealous.
-He was level 999 when I saw him, so I guess he attained the "level cap" of the system.
-That's what I thought... So he is the strongest man on this planet... back at the war, I called you because I need someone to gather adventurers for our army.
-Erh, I didn't even get paid when we appointed...Uh, what was his name?
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
-Angelo.
-Yeah right, when we appointed Angelo to the throne of Kemna. I hope this time I will get paid! Or else find someone else to do this job.
-This time, you will be paid, and you have a 50 gold budget to do the campaign. Do posters, recruit people to do the job at your place, I don't care. We only need them to be at least level 10. You can keep the money that you don't spend and you will be paid an extra 10 gold if the job is well done.
-... I could just take the money and leave you know.
-You could. But I believe in you to not. And if you do it, you will "only" be hunted by my army and probably Aevy.
-...Sigh, in any cases, it's not my type to do that. I will help you.
-Thanks. Do it not for me or Angeluna, but for the sakes of monsters and everyone living here peacefully. It would be terrible if there were to be innocent casualties. I know there will probably be but... At least, make it mitigate it to the minimum possible. I'm counting on you.
That's... She his right. The countries against us don't care about monster casualties. If I must do my best, it's to gather the country for the war incoming. Then Nell said something else.
-Also, when your job will be done, will you join the army? Aevy already said yes. And informed me you were level 99, so you would be of a great help, but you will probably face and kill humans.
-You don't need to tell me this twice. I will join you. even if I have to kill humans.
-Good, now that this has been said, go, we don't have any time to waste!
So I left the castle and prepared myself for the task.
Two weeks later of this event, the war was made public to everyone on the continent. I did reassemble quite a number of people. Placed posters in all the city, did quite a numbers of speeches in the city and villages nearby. Hired people to do some works at my place... All of this was really tiring, and the cost was absurdly high. Out of the 50 gold I had, there only 5 coins left.
I was back at the palace of Nell, and told her that I did everything I could.
-Yup, the army is growing. At least we have what it takes to protect the citizens. Now we also need to equip all of them... And we have just what we need.
She took out of one of her pouch a handgun. So firearms then, huh.
-It really is powerful! It can kill any level 5 monsters in one shot in the head!
-That...Doesn't seems impressive at all...
-For us, yes, but for low levels, it is a deadly ranged weapon! The power can't be compared to normal bows! And that can be enchanted too! If we effectively have sold some of them to the others before the war, we always have more stocks than them since we are the producers!
-That was not your greatest moves to sell them to the enemies anyways.
-How could I know that they would attack us?! Can you answer me?
She got from happy to angry in a second. How does she even works?
-Anyways, now, we need to prepare the fortifications!
-So, we will build a wall and they are gonna pay for it?
-...No? We will put guards in every villages of Angeluna and Kemna. All of them. These guards will be fully armed with even some tanks prototype that Alberto kept on a secret base. After some test, they seemed without any danger for the ones inside it. After all, our first goal is not to capture them, but to defend against them. And when they will be weakened enough by their assault, we will invade them one by one. The invasion will be our most elites warriors. Aevy and I included, and I want you to be part of the assaults.
-If this is necessary for a peaceful life for everyone, then I'm in.
-Good! Let's do this! For the monsters, for everyone living in this country! WE WILL WIN!
And then a message appeared in front of me.
New quest received:
Win the War against every other's countries.
Rewards: Immense amount of experience, maybe enough for a level. : D
...Is this system is even real to put a smiley on this message?
