The entire fight had taken less than 10 seconds; when done right, they usually did.

Two men lying on the ground, one looked as if he was beaten into a dog.

However, the fight just now was indeed a little troublesome. Thankfully, he was underestimating me all this time after seeing I’m just kid. Though I don’t think a 16 years old teenager could still be considered a kid…

But it also greatly attributed to my skills~

I finally managed to relax my body, slightly lowering my shoulders.

Although I had an overwhelming advantage in power thanks to my skills, I would obviously get nervous and stiff when men were jumping to kill me. After all, I wasn’t a character from some game… those plot armors, the privilege for MC’s?

Who knows if I have that?

My author might be one of those cruel ba-(Beep!)-ds who put tragedy tag in their stories…

Ah, crap… I didn’t say anything just now you know… all your imaginations…!!

Shaking away all these nonsense in my head, I turned around and look at Anna. She was motionless, staring at me with wide open eyes.

She must have been surprised by my awesomeness.

This is dangerous, this girl should be careful not to fall for me~ I almost said that out loud.

“It’s done~,” I said with a faint smile. In my face, there’s no hint of carefreeness just like a while ago.

After saying it, I turned around and walked towards the door. There should be less than two minutes before the police arrive. It’s time to go~

In my way, I kicked the guns out of the two guys reach. It just a precaution if they accidentally regained their senses.

As I stepped in the door, I heard Anna’s groaning at me. She seemed to be calling me so I turned around and looked at her. “Just forget what had happened, it would help both ways.”

I said. Truthfully, even though I know her name; Anna, aside from her uniform which was similar to mine, but truthfully I don’t know her. In fact, this was the first time I had seen her.

What I said just now was all an act to let those guys’ guard down.

What do you mean by cheating I don’t even have a girlfriend!

Anna was calling out on me but I ignored it and walk straight out the door and left.

I immediately walked towards the elevator and press the ‘3’ button. I plan to stop there for a moment before pressing the ‘1’ button after.

Just like what I expected, when the elevator’s door almost closed off, I could see a group of police officers coming out from the fire exit.

As to why they didn’t use the elevator… beats me~

But I’m pretty sure that there would be a group of police officers waiting for me on the ground floor. However, it’s fine since I’m wearing my school uniform right now. They should think that I’m just a normal high school student that happened to use the elevator.

Good one~

Still, thinking about the police officers really gave me a headache. My safe plan went into cinders just now all because of them.

I shouldn’t have called them before barging in… really…

My plan was to hit the second guy in the back of his head by something hard when he least expected it to but because of their nonsense siren, I fought a meaningless battle!

Seriously, why do police turn on their sirens when they move… isn’t that just telling, ‘Hey, police are here so better scram now or else we will get you~’ it’s really difficult to understand... ┐('～`；)┌

Damn it!

… …

I was currently walking in the street.

As expected, the police were really waiting on the ground floor but after seeing me acting scared because of their appearance, they let me go. When they asked me what I’m doing there, I just told them I’m visiting my classmate on the third floor.

As I was walking, suddenly ‘Ding!’ a prompt sound echoed inside my head.

[ Congratulations for completing the mission, ‘Saving Anna from the robbers’! ]

[ Reward: Firearms Proficiency (Intermediate) ]

Hearing the voice inside my head (Which I dubbed ‘The voice of my hidden self’, self-voice in short) I sighed.

Yeah, this was the reason why I went there, playing a hero saving damsel in distress.

It was the mission given by the God’s System, which is for some reason was planted in my brain.

I don’t know how I got this fantasy like setting ability. Although from what I could think of as the reason, is that it should be somehow related to what Tiffania, my former girlfriend did to me in my previous life.

Yeah, I think you readers already guessed it.

I really am Daniel Flores. A normal Literature teacher with a normal but not so normal lover in my previous life- The one who should have died but for some unclear reason, was transmigrated into another me in a parallel world.

It’s already been almost two weeks since I woke up in this world. From what I know, the original was in a coma after some kind of car accident and was said to be already hopeless. But a miracle happened and he woke up.

Although this time, it’s already not him but… me.

Pretty fantastical isn’t it? ( ﾟдﾟ)

But that’s not all. This God’s System or what it calls itself was transmigrated along with me.

And now, it gave me missions and task that give rewards and penalties if not accomplished.

Rewards are great, ranging from money, items and most of all skills. But penalties are a no-no.

Hit by a car, slid into a canal and much worse unlucky stuff. OTL

Yeah, these penalties are really brutal such as this one. If I didn’t manage to successfully save this Anna girl, I will be hit by a lightning from out of nowhere.

Dude, just thinking about it… gives me Goosebumps!!

It all started when I was walking from school. I suddenly noticed a car passed by me and with my super keen eyes, I saw a girl being tied up in the back of the car.

No matter how you think about it… it is very dangerous, right?

I didn’t see anything. I decided in that instance.

Come on, I finally had a second life, why waste it when you’re not even related.

But this godforsaken system just blows it all.

Yeah, that happened. I am not a hero type person, nor I did it for the reward but because of the penalty… seriously, who wanted to be hit by a lightning in broad daylight?

That stuff only happened in anime and you would only laugh it off after reading but believe me if that happened in reality… it’s not a laughing matter!

Well, my only saving grace is that the reward is pretty good and it even jumped to intermediate in one fell swoop. Was it because it’s a bit dangerous…?

No! It’s not just a bit!

Seriously! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ That was nerve racking experience!

I turned right and left and finally entered a very ordinary small restaurant in a small alley.

It was a small shop but one could not see anything special. Anyhow, there was this saying; the more unremarkable a place, the more likely there would be delicious food.

And it was actually not unfounded.

The food here is indeed delicious.

The shop was a bit crowded and lively.

The moment I entered, the boss came and greeted me warmly: “Daniel, you came.”

“Hi, potential lover #1” I joked.

The boss chuckled. The boss was a woman in her early thirties. She goes by the name; Mariebelle Solas or Marie for short. Here she was called Boss Marie. In addition, she already has a daughter which was in the same school as me.

In addition, she already has a daughter which was in the same school as me.

Although she’s not beautiful she could still be said to be above average.

I guess she has what you call a mature charm…?

She was also pretty nice and we got a long very well. We joked from time to time too.

“What do you want?”

“I came for a swig…” I said while raising my hand as if holding a glass and made a drink motion.

“You’re too young, Daniel~,” The boss said and took a bottle from one of the shelves. She then pours it in a glass and gave it to me. “Here, a milk for you… it’s a fresh goat milk. It’s in the house~”

“Why do I feel as if you’re harassing me?”

“That’s not my intention~”

“That’s right, that’s right! Kids like you should just drink milk and leave the alcohol to us, old timers~” one old guy from a near table joined our conversation while laughing.

“Shut up old man.” I scowled as I took the glass and drink it. “Oh right, how’s my future wife doing? She still not giving up on you right?”

“What future wife!” The old man snorted. “If you touch Dalia, I’m going to throw you in the trash bin!”

“Come on, father-in-law, you shouldn’t treat your future son-in-law like this~” I playfully pouted my lips. I then turned around and looked at the boss, “See that, my ex-lover, the old guy wanted to throw me into a trash bin, so barbarous~”

“Did my rank just change into a second-hand?”

“Hey, young man give up, Dalia is marrying me.”

“No me,”

“Hey guys, you wanna fight?”

“Shut up you b*tches! Touch my daughter and I’ll throw you into the sewer one by one.”

“Ahahahahahaha”

The old drunks laughed together. Really, every time I came here is seriously relaxing. Together with these old guys, they are just fun to be with.

“Here you go…” boss Marie with a face full of smiles place down a large bowl of fish soup onto my front.

I frowned at the gigantic bowl of fish head soup.

“Seriously? Fish again? Is there no meat?”

“No meat for you fella…” boss Marie smiled. “Fish head is good for your young body, so eat it up.”

Daniel gracefully took the soup spoon to serve the soup, “Seriously, what are you, my mother? I want to eat meat!!”

“No way, eat it already while it’s hot.”

“Haa, 2nd lover, I’m a customer here. Customers are Gods… where can you find a restaurant that decided what the customers eat?”

“Hm? What 2nd? Now you’re committing adultery…?” boss Marie sighed. “Well, sadly for you, my daughter always reminded me not to always serve you meat.”

I lowered my head to drink the soup. “Really? What is that Mely doing behind my back? What is she, my mother?!”

“Hahaha, sometimes it’s really difficult to have a wife… I feel you son.” The old guy nodded while drinking another glass of alcohol.

“She’s not my wife!”

“That’s right, even my wife sometimes beat me up.” Another man joined in. “Sometimes you really wonder how did you manage to marry someone like your wife… life is really confusing.”

“Wow so deep~”

“Someone give this man a like!!”

“Hey, it’s my sister you’re talking about!”

“Ah, you’re here brother-in-law?!”

“I’m in front of you! More like, your head is the one more confusing!”

“Ahahahahaha” Another round of laughter.

“Haa, these guys…” Chewing on a fish bone, I shook my head while wearing a wry smile.

“That is why you men are really…” the boss spoke. “It’s not us but you men. Always drinking and fantasizing about young girls, think about our feelings idiots.”

“Just like what the boss says!”

“Cheers for the boss!”

“+1 for the boss.”

Hahahahaha… …

I also laughed hard as I started to work on the fish head.

An idea suddenly flashed through my head and so I immediately stood up, turned around and looked towards the guys drinking. “Guys, guys listen up.”

I started. The shop immediately turned quiet and looked at me. Seemingly waiting as to what am I going to say.

“Okay, ladies and gentlemen… you heard the boss, right?”

“Yes!!” they answered like children in a preschool.

Seeing their cooperation, my confidence soared up.

“Then this time let me give you an advice. As a man, a real man, one must never quarrel with a married woman…” I said while showing an expression of undeniable finality.

I paused for a moment and then. “… especially if she is your wife!”

Hearing this, all the people in the room spit out their drinks.

I fist bump my chest in a confident manner. “Because if you do, you will only be the one who will get beaten up!”

“… …”

“Worst, you can’t enter the room in the night.”

“Pfft, Ahahahahahahaha” the people started laughing and some even drumming the table.

“Ahahahahahaha!!”

“Nice one, this brother really have some way of words!”

“Cheers for little bro!!”

“Cheers!!”

Looking at this scene, I let out a smug look before waving my hands like a celebrity. I then turned returned to my seat and continued eating.

I noticed boss Marie looking at me with a wry smile. She said, “You’re really getting on with these idiots…”

“Well, they’re good people and their fun.”

“Un.” Marie nodded with a smile.
