Chapter 14 - The City, and the Wanted
" Metal.... Metal... Metal... Woah plastic... Metal again, boring~. Is this what the future is like? It's too... Metal, even the grounds are made of metal, I didn't even see any pebble nor gravel " I muttered to myself
Walking around in an unknown city like this, made me feel mentally exhausted. Afterall humans are a social people.
For example, when you go to another country, at least you need to understand a little bit of their language or culture or at the very least a bit of information about it.
Or you will feel like you're alone in the wilderness.
At least that's what my friend told me, as for in real life situation.... Dunno I've never go to another country.
But straight to another world. (T^T")
" Help! " somebody screamed.
My instinct told me that, it's time to become a hero! So I went to the source of the sound. Going straight to an alley way, what I found is a woman in her 20's surrounded by robots, as a gentleman I am, I rushed straight to the robots and let out a flurry punch and kicks. As I want to keep a low profile, I used my towel as a mask, and also lowering my strength to 5% of my restricted power. Needless to say, it's still an overkill.
In just 10 seconds all the robots became a pile of metal.... again
" It's all done! " I said muffled, as my towel still covering half of my face, the woman could only saw my smiling eyes.
" Thankyou " the woman said gloomily
" Your welcome! Say, why's your face so gloom? " I asked carefully, why do you ask? It's becouse we're dealing with woman here, one wrong step and you will end up with endless trouble!
" oh, nothing. Why don't you come to my house and have a drink " she said with a forced smile
I really want to reject the offers, but after seeing her forced smile. I could only nod in responses
' maybe she got into some troubles and in need of my help, The Immortal Punch Man!? Wait isn't that supposed to be an anime show! ' I mused
Then we go straight to her house, just right beside the place that I just fought.
' it seems I missed something? My weapon? Naah! I'm stark naked when I came here! ' I wonder

It seems that every house are using a fingerprint sensor, pin, and many other security devices, as I watch her hand typing something on the wall, yup it's on the wall, On The F*ckin Metallic Wall! F*ck! This world is too metal!
*Beep *Beep....
After she finished typing, there's a beep like sound, and..
WALA!
The metallic door opened automatically! It's amazing right!, just like in those futuristic Sci-Fi movies, oh wait I really am in such an era.
" Please! " she said; gesturing myself in.
" Thank you " I said politely
Looking closely at the woman in front of me, at first glance, she looked like a savage beast, why do you ask? with her wild hair style it's no wonder if I saw a Lion instead of a human, but when she wore her Harry potter glasses, well, she looked like a nerd. Still when I look at her shirt I frowned.
' a mechanic? ' Looking at her oil-lined shirt, I muttered to myself.
" Soo, do you want coke, soda or... "
" Just a glass of water will do, thank you! " I cut her off.
" Ok, wait a minute! " She said as she walk into the kitchen? There she seems to be picking a remote, and touch some buttons that I don't know what's the function is. As for why I knew what's happening here, well let just say, I changed the way I used my Divine Senses.
From filling the area with my condensed Qi,
To making my Qi flow like the surrounding air, it just like a thin mist that flow to a specific area, alas only people with a special eyes that can see it.
As for the power, it's lesser than the former, but much more efficient. Why do you ask, just about an hour ago I used the condensed Qi to check my surroundings.
When I used it, I wonder why 'how come I didn't sense anything?' but when I opened my eyes, before me was a crater with a ball like shape, 3 meters deep, with me as the center, even the metallic buildings aren't spared, fortunately I immediately blurred myself out, or else the police would have caught me.
*Ding dong
The sound of a doorbell.
" Come in! " Said the woman from the kitchen, and the door just like *Wala! and opened automatically.
Looking at the door, I found myself scared shitless. What I found are four people with uniforms, with a police badges on their left chest.

" Hello ma'am, our orders, are they ready yet? " Said one amongst them, that I guess as a captain of the squad.
" Ooh, you can ask this person? " The woman said pointing at me.
" Me? " I pointed myself
" Yes " the woman nodded
" But I didn't have anything worth mention! "
" No, but you just destroyed their orders "
" But I just wanna try and test something, and it just became like that! " I retorted
" If you wanted to test something, at least test it at your own thing! " The woman angrily retorted.
" Well, sorry, but I didn't have anything worth to test my power! "
" But don't just destroy anything! I mean anything, those Robots that you just destroyed are the ones that they ordered! "
" Eh! I thought you're talking about the destroyed stree..... But I thought you were attacked by the Ro... "
" Emm, sorry what did you just said? " The police officer cut me off
' shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! '
" I thought that she got attacked by the robots? " I said casually, hiding my panicked expression with my towel, thankyou! Towel-san! "
" Not the latter, but the former, what did you just said? " The police captain said, changing his aura from casual to serious in an instant!
' f*ck, did I just witness the switch of a personality ' thought someone with an ability to get insane within a second.
' should I lie or should I be honest? Honesty is my policy, honesty it is! '
" I thought that she's talking about the destroyed street? "
" Yes, and how do you know it? " The cap'n ask, again.
' I'm the cause of it, shit sherlock! Oooh f*ck this!'
" I was there when the accident took a place " 'nice! Me!'
" Ooh, then? " Said the cap'n, and I just realized that there's a tiny little device that looks like a ring on his thumb, that seems like recording my conversation, how do I know? Divine Senses is the best!
" But I didn't saw what happened,I am closing my eyes there, and when I opened my eyes, what I saw was a crater! " 'Ha! That's the truth! (A half truth) at least I'm honest! '
" Then what about that 'trying something' what exactly did you attempt there? "
' heh! Do you think I don't know the traps that you laid for me! Humph! Naive! '
" Do you think that trying to do it with a different positions are a wrong thing to do! " I said with a 'you know what i mean' expression
The police officer just blink his eyes, and the fierce expression on his face just gone in an instant and said " I know what it feels to become a single, young man, keep the spirits! "
' Eh! How come it became like this!!! Aaaah, where should I throw my face then! It's so embarrassing! ' fortunately there's a towel that covers his face, else that people saw his real face, and he'd die of embarrassment.
" So, does that mean, it's over? Giid cause I really need some sleep guys, as for the PTX e-60 robots, well it just some dent here and there. Your mechanic can just fix it, as for you young man, it is my fault that you came and beat the robots, because of a simple mistake of volume adjustment, as for the robots, it just a simple dent here and there, still you need to paid for it. Now both of you please get out!
" Why don't you become a police and be under my squad, it's not an easy thing to amass 2000 gold you know " said the police cap'n, seeing the youngster infront of him seems to be confused when he said the repair cost of robots.
When facing against such a scheming people, you just feel disgust towards them, and when you hear them speak, you just feel like wanting to puke!
As for what will Syura do? Well he'll run for his own money! No way will he be an underling of someone!
A week later the higher-up knew who's behind the 'crater' incident, and now, there's already a wanted poster on the internet. with a nickname: The Towel Man!
The Official worried
The Citizens angry
And the underground forces are laughing
While Syura.... Let's just say that he's regretted not being honest there.
' If I'm honest, at least my nickname won't be The Towel Man!' ??

The Ascendant: Endless Reincarnation
My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid. Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing, you know? There’s so much I still wanted to do. But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations. Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses to make my next lives more interesting. “What kills me only makes me stronger!” Or something like that. Honestly, it feels like I’m stuck in an RPG. The difficulty setting can be pretty ridiculous too. Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth in frustration as I die an ignoble death. But I won’t complain. Even when it’s dangerous and painful, I love life. This is all an opportunity; I’ll do my best, no matter what kind of sadistic fate the System throws at me. I will swing the warhammer of justice! Craft and enhance the most amazing artifacts! Overwhelm opponents with a barrage of auto-casting spells! Lead powerful vassals in Domain wars! All for the sake of creating an eternal sanctuary. With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I’ll even become strong enough one day to overturn fate… or at least find out what the hell is really going on. It might take a few hundred or a thousand lifetimes, but what’s the rush? I have all the time in the world now. (Note: R15+ This is the work of a very inexperienced author with a full time job. Please expect an erratic release schedule.)
