Ch 3 - Too much problem will lead to a headache

The men entered the rivers and slowly walked to us. Seeing the severity of the situation, I activated my god tier equipment which covered my body in light. A second later, the light disappeared leaving a white capped armor on my body.

On my left was a circular shield with a diameter of three feet, and on my right was a white sword with pulsating yellow lines connected from the handle to the gem embedded on the middle of the blade.

After equipping my gear, I felt a large boost in strength.

Seeing that made the men hesitate to enter the river. I then called the attention of the two behind me. “Run back to the shore.”

Both didn’t want to stand up since their body would be seen, but knowing that it was either get seen or get raped, miss Lenia lifted her daughter and ran to the shore.

Like the lustful creatures they are, the men tried to take a peek at them, so I stomped on the floor, pushing the water away and creating a giant dent. The loud sound made them focus on me, who they knew was dangerous.

But seriously, I don’t want to fight them. I haven’t even gotten over that fact that I killed, and now I have to fight not animals but human beings? With the additional boost in strength, I don’t know how much to use so that they won’t die. To scare them away and avoid fighting, I said. “Go away or I will kill you all.”

My voice carried seriousness, and seeing my action earlier made them step back. To add more fear, I used an offensive skill. “High Slash!”

I moved my sword downwards, and with one hand, I raised it with full force. The skill shook the river where I stood and the ground where the men stood, like a small earthquake. The motion also released a wave of light to where the sword was pointed, which vaporized everything it touched, dividing the river channel into two.

“The next will be directed at you.” I said while pointing the sword at the men. Please, just go away, I don’t want to be a murderer.

The men looked at me with fear, like I’m some sort of dangerous entity. While slowly backing away, one of them said. “Monster!”

They started running away after that.

When I was sure they were no longer there, I turned back. On the shore were Kia and miss Lenia, who were covering their body with their clothes. They were seated on the floor, shaking as they stared at me with a small hint of fear. Why? I saved them, so why are they looking at me like that?

To not dirty my equipment and to lessen their fear, I released it and walked back to the shore naked.

They watched me wear my clothes, which was a bit embarrassing, but their fear was still there. Not knowing what to do, I stretched my hand to both of them and said. “Please don’t be afraid, I don’t plan on hurting you.” Really, please don’t look at me like that. I’ll start thinking of myself as a monster if you keep looking at me like that.

They did stand up and walked back to the house, but something felt different, like the warmth I felt from them earlier vanished.

At this point, my worries were starting to affect my head. The problem of getting stuck here remains unsolved. The guilt and fear of killing was starting to haunt me. The fact that they were looking at me like I’m no human didn’t help me calm down a bit. I was starting to be lost in my thoughts. What should I do? What should I prioritize? How should I act? How do I go back to my old life where I don’t have much problems?

We stayed silent even after entering their house, so I entered my room and sat on the bed. My room remained lifeless until Kia brought lunch and unlike before, she went out of the room without talking to me. Why? Shouldn’t they be thanking me? Shouldn’t they be idolizing me for my strength?

Am I asking too much if I wanted them to treat me like before? We only met a few days ago, but I liked how they acted around me before. Wait, why am I acting like I lost them, I’m not a part of their family, I’m just a stranger to them, we hardly even know each other.

I wanted to tell my problems to someone, like my ingame friends, to get their opinion and help me solve it. Sadly, I’m all alone in this new world, with no one to hear me. Even though this is the game that I used to play, I hardly recognize this place and the people here. I always hangout in the city of beginning, but where is it? I used a teleport stone, so why am I not there?

Just like on the first day, I went to the corner of the bed and covered myself in blanket. Maybe I should just sleep until I log out from this game. I’m sure this is a game, I mean, I could still access some of the features right? The game masters just had a small technical problem but they’ll still log me out right?

Scared, Confused, Depressed, I held the blanket tightly as my body shook violently. I wasn’t able to control my emotions and soon, the bed was drenched in my tears.

While I was crying, I heard both Kia and miss Lenia’s shout. “KYAAAA!”

The door then opened, with Kia and miss Lenia entering the room. The sudden events made me look at them, and I saw miss Lenia covered in blood with Kia hugging her tightly. “Mom!”

Her plain white shirt was tainted by her blood, and the injury was around her chest. Following them was, Kain and a bulky man. Both had swords in their hands and were pushing each other, but on the looks of it, Kain is losing.

From outside the room, I heard a voice. “The whole village is already under our control, so just give up and let us play with you mother.”

From another voice. “I’ll play with his sister, hehehe.”

What should I do? Should I help them? But if I fight, I might kill someone and if I used my strength everyone will fear me....

I threw the blanket to the side and stood up, which surprised both Kain and the bulky man. I ran to them and grabbed the bulky man’s sword with my barehands.

“Kain, go to your mother, I’ll handle of this.”

I then crushed the sword with my hand and said. “Get out, or you’ll regret it.”

He, who was three times heavier than me, punched me in the face, but I didn’t feel a thing. Even without my gear, only a level one hundred character could inflict damage to me, so anything below that wouldn’t even damage my hp by ‘1’.

I kicked the man away with the minimal amout of force, but he was still sent flying. The moment he hit a wall, I cast a spell. “Heal!” I also healed miss Lenia. “Greater Heal!”

Her injury instantly closed, even the small injuries she did not know herself got healed.

As I thought, on this world, I can heal injuries. So with purify, I can cure any disease?

I went out of the room and saw two more people aside from the man I kicked. The two were slightly built and wore brown shirts with a leather vest, but the thing that caught my eye was their bandana, which looked like the one I saw earlier.

In front of them, I activated my equipment. “Do you want to fight me?” I said while pointing my sword to them.

Both pulled a sword from their waist, which they pointed at me. “M-monster!”

Ah, there it is again. Monster? So everyone is gonna call me that now? “I’m a monster?” I asked with a smile.

The man I kicked stood up and tried to run away, but stopped after hearing me say. “Did I tell you to run away?”

I casually seated myself in one of the chairs on the living room, and the three just stood there watching me do as I please.

I don’t need to worry anymore.

My throat felt dry, so I took a glass of water and seated myself again.

I have the strength, so I can do what I want. What they think of my actions no longer matters, since they’re not gonna listen to me anyway.

After drinking, I stretched my body.

I won’t kill without a reason, but I’ll kill those who block my path, since no matter what I do here, everything will go back to normal after I log out. “Right?” I said while tilting my head.

“So, will you stay here and die? Or will you leave and survive? Please choose wisely.” I said with an innocent smile.
