World 1-5: That time when I was reincarnated into another world, and saved the town from skeletons

This was terrible! What kind of crazy kick-ass fantasy gamer lit-RPG world had Kamiko thrown me into, if the Idyllic Starter RPG Generic Town was being attacked by skeletons right off the bat?! I ran past down the street, throwing up dust and tearing up cobblestones in my [Windrunner]-boosted haste, instantly falling into a perfect runner's stance as I went. The townsfolk shouted in surprise as I tore past, the dresses of busty anime babes flipping up in a completely unnecessary but physics-endorsed display of gratuitous fanservice.

But I had no time to stop and ogle pantsu; I'd have to leave that for the viewers! I had a town to save. I leaped over a building in a single bound, bolstered by the [Hopmeister] skill and the inherent jump bonus provided by my [Jump King] Title. I cleared the three-story building and landed in a totally sick dodge-roll on the other side, landing in a crouch. That was perfect, as Kamiko was hailing me, so I needed to take the call anyways.

I raised my hand to the back of my neck and opened the channel of my CODEC. The CODEC wasn't one of my skills; I live in the future, so everybody has one. Mine was a simple plug-in model I bought from C-Mobile.

"Kamiko!" I shouted, "The Adventurer's Guild is under attack! By skeletons!"

"Oh crackers!" she swore. "This must be the work of the Demon Lord!"

"Demon Lord?!" I repeated, "Do you really think the Demon Lord is behind this attack?"

"It has to be the case, Hiro-kun. There's no way that trouble could be caused by somebody other than the Demon Lord or her flunkies. We can't spare the narrative complexity to have any ills of the world not be directly attributed to a villain you can defeat using violence."

I nodded. That made sense to me. "That makes sense to me," I said. "Your jingoisms are both rational and compelling."

Still, I wasn't sure if I was ready to fight the Demon Lord just yet. After all, that sort of thing is meant to happen at the very end, isn't it? I hadn't even gotten started on my kick-ass fantasy RPG Isekai adventure in another world (TL Note: "another world" means Isekai).

"Don't worry," Kamiko said reassuringly, having heard the disgruntled expression showing on my face, "I don't think it'll be the Demon Lord in person. It'll most likely be one of her lieutenants, the Elite Fours."

"There are only four of them?" I asked. That wouldn't be so bad, if I only had less enemies to defeat than I had fingers on a hand. However, my unworry was soon to be reworried, as Kamiko was quick to correct me.

"No, they're just all 4/10s. We're talking real paper-baggers, Hiro," she clarified. "There are forty of them."

Forty?! That was as many as four tens. And that's terrible!

"Choutto wait a second, Kamiko. That seems like way too many dudes for me to handle."

"They're not all here right now, Hiro. If you beat them off one at a time, I think you'll finish faster than you would have expected."

Kamiko's words were hard to swallow, but I had wasted enough time already. I had to hurry to the Adventurer's Guild. The world was in peril!

I hurried along the street, making sure to knock over as many fruit carts as I could, both for the speedrunner strats, but also because causing malicious mischief was cathartic in a way that is as satisfying as it was hard to quantify. Besides, the stalls belonged to fruit vendors. They know what they did.

Before long, I came to the Adventurer's Guild and drew my fists from their scabbards. I grinned a smile on the outside, but on the inside, I was doing the opposite, grinning a frown. My fists were very powerful weapons, but they had basically no range, and more importantly, I couldn't use any of my cool weapon [Skills] on them.

I could only use my cool Unarmed Combat [Skills] on them, and relying on any sort of combat technique which left a chance of me not winning instantly and risking any level of physical harm worried me intensely on account of my deep-seated inferiority complex and complete lack of self-esteem. It would have been good for me to confront these personal insecurities, but it would be even better for me to ignore them entirely and drown them out with wish fulfillment and power fantasy, the better to establish a rapport with a disenfranchised theoretical reader-base.

I ordered a [Gun] off of the internet using [Sahara Prime]. It should arrive in two days.

But two days wasn't soon enough. It looks like for now I'd have to risk it all! I activated my [Manifest Extra Arms] skill to grow 10 arms, and used [Create Weapon] to create 12 ethereal swords. These swords were powerful, but they would only last as long as I had MP. I checked my Stats...

Name: Hiro ♥ Protagonist

HP: 69420/69420

MP: 1302/1337

SP: 9726/9999

FP: 1/1

Uh-oh.... it looks like creating my swords had depleted a lot of my Mana already! In fact, it looked like [Manifest Arms] had also used up my SP. This was definitely not cash money. I had to be careful to pace myself. If I ran out of resources, it was all over for me! I would have to put in effort!

Quickly, I advanced and began to scan the horizons for the nearest skeleton. However, what I didn't see shocked me to the bone.

There weren't any skeletons visible at all! I furtively looked around, and my blood ran cold. Where were the skeletons? I had just seen them, swarming around the Adventurer's Guild. It would have been easy to write it off as some kind of simple mistake, one which might teach me some valuable lesson right before the credits roll. But this wasn't a sitcom. This was an Isekai. And there was no way I could have been wrong in my deductions. No, the answer was much worse. My blood ran colder as I realized the truth of the matter.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

I turned to the nearby busty anime babe running some kind of calendar and magazine kiosk, and shot her the gravest look I could manage as I explained the situation.

"The skeletons are invisible."

"What?" The well-endowed vendor asked me in completely-justified incredulity. She looked at me like I had just said something crazy, but despite the strange nature of my statement, the only thing crazy here was how much ass I was about to kick.

"The Demon Lord is attacking," I elaborated. "Invisible skeletons. You need to get to safety."

The vendor gasped, believing me instantly, and ran for cover, hauling her cart behind her. I nodded to myself, and casually swung my swords in a whirling dervish around me while I walked, in case the invisible skeletons were sneaking up on me. I made it safely to the door of the Adventurer's Guild, having only killed two civilians. I un-dervished my swords for safety reasons, as a small crowd was gathered at the doorway.

The building was massive, towering over the rest of the buildings in the square and sporting a magi-neon sign that said some bullshit in the made-up Isekai language that was probably just a substitution cipher for hiragana. After using the [Mental Dictionary] skill to translate, I discovered the sign said "Adventurer's Guild."

"This must be the Adventurer's Guild," I said out loud, to myself. "But I don't see any invisible skeletons anywh--"

"HEY, I'M WALKIN' HERE."

As I was monologuing to myself, I was rudely interrupted by a man in a track-suit rudely shoving his way past me. His eyes, the gold chains around the neck, and his extremely product-infused hair all glinted dangerously as he shot me a slimy yet somehow endearing smile with the rightmost half of his mouth. He glared at me angrily with the other half of his face, in an expression that was either extremely practiced and a testament to facial control, or the product of a stroke of some kind.

"I'm gomenasorry," I told him, giving him a quick courtesy bow. The man merely scoffed and rolled his eyes as he walked past me. I watched as he effortlessly shoved his way past the people ahead of me as well, never bothering to pull his hands out of his pockets, simply shoulder-checking them as easily as he strode. He must have had the [Advanced Swagger] skill. Curious, I decided to appraise him to find out his appraisal results, using my appraisal skill: [Appraise (but secretly infinite knowledge)].

The results appeared to me in a cool RPG menu, hovering over my vision as part of my [Status HUD] Cell Phone Arts. I skimmed through his status:

I frowned at his status. Something about it struck me as odd... He was certainly pretty powerful. Far too powerful to be in a starter town, for one thing. For another thing... some of those skills were awfully suspicious. Why would he need five levels in [Disguise]? Could he be hiding who he was right now?

I scrutinized the man as he casually sent a hot, big-titty elf archer staggering to one side with a casual shoulder-check. I furrowed my brows. This guy... he was a real piece of work.

"Hey, you there!" I shouted. "Choutto hold on a second!"

The man stopped in mid-stride and spun on his heel, rotating in place like 3D model before setting his lifted foot down in my direction.

"Ehhhhhh?" He droned, staring at me maliciously, an aura of darkness manifesting around him. "You talkin' to me?"

I nodded to him. I'd have to approach this carefully. This was the adventurer's guild, the home of people who fight and die in the pursuit of money and fame. If this guy really was dangerous, I couldn't risk putting them in harm's way.

"Are you..." I began, "a bad guy?"

"No."

"Very well," I nodded, "I'm sorry for stopping you."

The man started to turn back to his rude, violent, but also kinda badass walk cycle. However, something nagged me from the back of my head, and I knew I couldn't just leave it at that.

"Oh yeah, one more thing..." I muttered, loud enough for him to hear.

He turned and shot me a dirty look, filled with so much malice that it might have killed me on the spot if not for my [Emotional Damage Invulnerability] .

"Does your momma know that you're a bad guy?" I asked.

"No," he replied. A beat passed, and his eyes bugged out of his head as realization struck home. I grinned a smile; I had caught him.

"I-I mean... I mean, she knows I'm not a bad guy," he stammered. But it was too late. I had already used my [Mind Cell Phone] to call the cops, and they were tearing around the corner on their horses, hooves sparking as they slid in an inertia drift. Their [Sirens] were blaring as the closest one leapt from his horse, drawing his spear and cocking it as he brought it to bear.

"[Police Cops!]" he announced as he rolled to his feet. "Hands in the air."

Skeletony and the rest of the adventurers put their hands in the air, and I did so as well, because the cool kids were doing it and I didn't want to feel left out.

"Which one of you is the bad guy?" he asked.

I opened my mouth to speak, but Skeletony was too fast, too wily for me to have anticipated.

"That guy," he said, pointing at me. I gasped internally, then gasped externally as the police cop did a flaming dragon drop-kick into my solar plexus, knocking the wind from my stomach, which is my understanding of how anatomy works.

I rolled on the ground, groaning breathlessly, as he tossed a net over my face. My mind was reeling. Damn it, Kamiko! This is exactly what I'd been worrying about. What good were my paltry skills when I couldn't even win to a [Police Cop]?! While I should have had [Absolute Invulnerability], he'd used his special skills, and...

"You are under arrest," he informed me. "You have no rights to speak of."

I was still far too weak without a proper cheat skill. I was going to go to jail, and I could do nothing as I watched Skeletony smirking at me as he faded violently into the crowd. I... I had to do something! He was going to get away, and thanks to a slip of his tongue, I'd confirmed that he was, in fact, the one responsible for attacking the Guild.

If I didn't stop him, then... then... I clenched my eyes shut as the Police Cops took a [Commemorative Photo], dangling me by the legs and posing with me as if I were a fish they had just caught. I had to... I had to...

Suddenly, I felt of burst of light inside my skull, and I heard Kamiko's voice echo through my head, but it sounded like she'd made it into text-to-speech or else was voice-cosplaying as a robot. This must be the [World System]! I craned my ears into my skull to listen to the words as they appeared before my eyes:

Skill Gained: [Arrest Resistance - Lvl 1]

Looks like things were about to get interesting...
