《So I guess this is a Video Game World.》Chapter 21: The talk to the system.
Advertisement
I departed 3 days ago, there was still quite some road to make but at least, everything was going smoothly for now. No problem, no surprises attack. Just stupid monsters. I killed them every time we encountered one. One attack and they were down. This was a pretty peaceful region. And almost all the journey we did see only plains, plains and oh wait! There something! ...Nope, just plains... Nothing but plain plains... This was a real pain... God damnit now I begin to do puns like Arthur. This is bad.
Another day passed, there were finally something else than prairies! A forest! And also some really light snow on the ground. Signs that we should be close to our destination.
The village of Lunistra. I was informed about the village during our journey. It is apparently a touristic place of Angeluna, due to being in a perpetual night and snow. How does this works? Nobody really knows. There's only the light of two moons who light up a bit the village who are always here and nowhere else strangely. Somes says this is a curse, others that this is a benediction. The theories vary. But one thing is almost sure. The "curse" was caused by a God, no magician in this world would be able to do a spell this powerful and who can last this long. I'm honestly hyped to see this thing with my own eyes. Even if I'm now accustomed to magic, seeing a thing like this may be beautiful.
It was night, still not reached Lunistra thought. But we should arrive tomorrow. For now, the camp was done. There not really much. A fire camp, Our wagon close to it and some sleeping bags. And tonight I'm the one who guards the camp of anything that could attack us. Well, thanks to my "Improved Senses" skill, I could see and hear an enemy approaching without much difficulty. Though, I really wonder why I didn't get the skill when I first came here. I mean, it's stupid. I did get it at level 10 because of my race, but why I didn't get it before? That doesn't make senses. Stupid system who can't even manage something this simple.
Well... Nobody is perfect you know?! Everyone makes mistakes! So yeah I kinda forgot about to give you this skill when you were transported, so I gave it to you when I remembered about it!
...Hey! That's rude to read someone's mind you know! And why talking to me about that only now?
Oh... Sorry to have another job! I was kinda busy with a problem that occurred, but now, I have all the time I want to bother you. And since you seems lonely watching for monsters and that Aevy is sleeping, you're the only one I can troll.
...You're also lonely right. Or you wouldn't talk to me like I'm some friend.I mean, you are the system, you have better things to do that trolling me no?

...You really are an idiot. Aevy told ya that he knows me. How could I be the true and only one system that manages this world?
Oh. Yeah. Kinda forgot about that. Also, a system wouldn't forget something. Or else you would be a really bugged system.
True. So, did you guessed who I am? The one who transported you into this world? I'm sure that some people that are reading this already guessed it right!
Uh, What are you talking about? And... No? How would I know? The only hints that Aevy gave me were really vague. I mean, "When you think about it, it makes senses" or whatever bullshit he told.
Oh my me. You are even worse than what I thought. Continue to think about it. You will win a cookie if you can guess right. : P
I don't like cookies.
... Oh for my sake.That was sarcasm. That's difficult to understand in text but not that difficult! Really! And I already gave you enough hints so you could guess!
Uh... No really, I can't think of any options that I know.
I'm the one supposed to troll people you know! Not you! If I say statue, what do you think of?
... So you're saying that you are... Jesus?
IN ANGELUNA YOU MORON!
The text was shaking like it was really angry. I could almost hear it scream across the text. Wait, a statue... In Angeluna... I think I got it... There was that cute bird status next to their God Hasaki Status. So it must be... A bird? That doesn't make senses.
You... (-‸ლ) Ok nevermind, today seems to be a day where you are the most stupid person on this planet. We will say that this is the lack of sleep ok? I will come back later to haunt you. Cya.
No, wait! I still don't know who you are!
...It doesn't seem to be here anymore. Crap, I guess I'll have to do with what I know to guess their real identity. But this is definitively the most difficult mystery of my entire life that I must solve. Oh well, I have an entire night to think about it!
The night passed without problems. Though I still don't know the identity of the one who hides between the system. I meditated all the night on it but no ways to figure this out. If only I would have more clues... Oh well. We have more important things to do.
At the end of the morning, we were suddenly surrounded by darkness, with two moons in the sky. We were finally at Lunistra. I can already see some houses with their roof completely covered in snow.
I get off the chariot. There were already guards everywhere. It seemed that the battle was not in the village for now. I hope this will stay like this.
The village was somewhat peaceful, but the tension of having guards everywhere could be seen, fear coming from the different villagers. Werewolves, blue slimes, minotaurs and even a blue dragon, it seems like the populations were of many differents races who could support the cold temperature of this place. The blue dragon approached us. He was rather tiny for the image I have of a dragon. He was taller than me only because of his long neck. He then spoke in a rather soft voice.

-Welcome to Lunistra, you must be the reinforcement from Angeluna. But I don't see anything besides your chariot, we waited for food, potions, armor for our warriors... Many things. Where are they?
One soldier spoke rapidly before I could even answer to the worries of the dragon.
-We have them Sir Dramence! They are hidden in a parallel dimension by our companion here, Sir Vakfu!
Yup, his name was Dramence. Cause he his a dragon his name must begin by a "Dra"? Oh well.
-Vakfu... What a weird name. Ohohoh.
Hey! I grew attached to this name! Don't call it weird even if he is! I sighed and spoke in a tired voice:
-So, Sir Dramence right?... W-We needs a rather large place for the cargo. There is a lot of things and... Yawn... T-This place is not big enough.
-You seem tired... I have a spell for the sleep. Wait a few seconds.
I was tired yes. After all, I didn't sleep last night. That was not really a good organization to have me do it just before we reach this city... But also, It was cold, like really cold. There isn't snow everywhere for nothing. I wave my tail and rub my hands to try to warm me a little bit. Not really effective. Now that I think about it there was an enchantment to adjust the clothes temperature... Why didn't I took it back in time for this moment! Gah!
The dragon then used his magic. Yup, I was no longer tired. So that a good news. ButI'mm still cold as shit... And I was not alone, one soldier said:
-L-Let's move. And then drink something t-to warm us a bit...
-Ohoh. This is true that you were not prepared for this cold... Why didn't you take some additional clothes?
-T-They are all already enchanted for the cold, but it seems that it's not enough...
-Wait! Mines are not!
I immediately complained. Why all of them were enchanted and not mines? That's bullshit!
-R-Really? Then you must be pretty strong to survive this cold...
Oh, that's it then. It must be my Vitality attributes then. Being level 99 is really advantageous. Besides the dragon who was level 300, nobody was stronger than me here. It's this hard to reach level 99 and I cheated right through it. Yeah, this is nice for me.
We moved to another place, and we were now in a snow plain not this far from the village, proof is that the "curse" was still active, it was quite beautiful.IWhere i lived before, there was rarely snow and I always liked snow, so I quite enjoyed myself beside the cold... Damnit I will have a frostbite if this continue. And then, I finally used my Inventory. One metal crate appeared out of nowhere in the snow, Dramence was rather surprised.
-Such powerful magic! I understand why you were chosen to do this task now.
-And there's still 44 crates like this. So watch out!
One after one, all of the metal crates appeared. Everyone was surprised and my ego was satisfied that i was finally useful.
-This is fantastic! With all of this, the war can continue without worries for a while!
We opened one by one all of the crates, there were potions, enchanted armors, scrolls who contained magic of all sort, enchanted weapons, food, water bottles... Yeah, literally everything that would be useful for a war. And I transported this much without any debuffs, that's the power of a game-like inventory! The dragon was amazed and asked me how did I learn a spell like this:
-Sorry, this is kinda a one of a kind spell that only I and a friend can use and that others can't learn on their own.
Deception could be seen in his lizard eye, but he then laughed, what?
-Ohohoh! I understand! You are from another world right? I encountered one who was in the same case as you a few centuries ago... He is dead of old age by now. That is sad... I remember he even tried to kill me! I was young but not powerless! But in the end, I taught him everything I've known about this world...
I could hear nostalgy in his voice... So there were people transported here even a few centuries ago? Just how long does this have been done? And by who? I mean I know this is the person who sends me messages but I still didn't figured out its identity...
After we came back to the village, a soldier came with fear visible on his face.
-The ennemies are repelling us! We need supports right now!
-Ohohoh. Well, it seems like I will have to intervene... Will you come with me Vakfu? It is a little far away so you will have to ride me.
Suddenly, we could almost see little stars in my eyes, riding a dragon? FUCK YES!
-I'm in!
I jumped onto his back, he then begun to fly.
-Here we go! Ohohoh!
Riding a dragon into the battlefield. That's at this moment that I can feel like a badass now.

Unfettered Spear
[Ratata~] Being showered with bullets from all directions, I certainly don't feel so good. Especially, feeling the bullets passing through my body, which is simply torture. After God knows how long, the gunfire finally stopped. I had my head down, contemplating that this was the end. However, it was at this time that I heard someone jumping off the car in front. I looked up and saw that it was the "Boss." "I should've done this much sooner, you really done a number on my men despite being alone!" "I must admit that you are good, but too good that you're a threat to MY throne!!" "I–" Alas, the Boss' monologue was cut halfway through. When he held his head high, an action to signify his pride, a bullet pierced through his under chin into his brain and out the back of his head. He looked at me in disbelief, like the others around. None of them anticipated that I could still fire my pistol, much less accurately aiming at one's head at the hip level, after being turned into a bloody meat-sieve. "You... Monster!!!" To the Boss' dying words, I only replied with a smile as my strength left my body.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
