Chapter 240: 240
Flanders looked at them quietly with a smile on his face.
As he listened to these people, he carefully memorized the names of the various forces they spoke of.
“Get lost!”
“You’re a dead crow!!”
Suddenly, a burly man’s voice was heard.
It immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
The burly man waved his fist and kicked the crows that had gathered around him. He seemed to be very angry.
From the looks of it, it seemed that the burly man really hated these crows.
Of course, it was also possible that these crows had come to harass him.
“Hey.”
“Gus, I advise you not to waste your energy. The crows here can’t be chased away.”
“You just arrived, you don’t know.”
“If you stay long enough, you’ll know. There are too many dead bodies around here, so there will be crows wandering around all year round. Even if you chase away this wave, the next wave will come tomorrow. Give up.”
“Previously, many people hated this group of crows just like you. But after staying here for a long time, they will naturally get used to it.”
After seeing the burly man’s actions, a person who knew him said with a smile not far away.
At the same time, many people around also laughed.
Obviously, they also knew about this matter. Or rather, when they first came here, their behavior was very similar to the burly man’s. They were all punching and kicking the crows.
But after a long time, they could not be bothered.
After all, there were too many crows. They really could not catch up.
“Hmph!”
The burly man called Gus snorted and said, “it’s just that these crows are too dispirited. Nothing good will come out of seeing them!”
What he said was not wrong.

Many people around did not like these crows.
Not only were their cries very dispiriting, but they also especially liked corpses. Not to mention, they were really afraid that one day they would die here in an accident and become food for these crows.
Therefore, although they could not be bothered to chase away the crows, they did not have a good impression of them at all.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up.
“However, something isn’t right today.”
“There are too many crows here today. Look over there, there are quite a few crows staring at us. It feels like something bad is about to happen!”
As soon as this person said that, everyone looked over.
As expected!
When their gaze landed on the clearing on the opposite side, they saw countless crows. They almost occupied the area, and countless pairs of red eyes were staring at them.
It looked a little scary.
“This… This is a little too much, isn’t it?!”
Someone exclaimed.
“This is not a good thing,” the people behind them said.
In the field of mages, there was a saying that had been circulating for a long time.
Crows represented bad luck, a sign of bad luck.
Therefore, wherever crows often appeared, most mages would avoid them.
“It’s so strange, why are there so many crows?”
“I feel a little uneasy.”
Many mages voiced out.
Flanders, who was sitting at the back, also looked at the crows curiously.
This was not his Crow Storm, but a true native crow. He was surprised that so many crows had gathered here.
Just as everyone was guessing…
“Ah!!”
“Ah ah!!”
Suddenly, a few screams came from the huge crowd.
Everyone looked over and saw five figures rolling around on the ground, looking very painful.
“What… What’s going on?”

Everyone was shocked.
The five people had become like this almost at the same time.
Moreover, these five people were not in the same direction, and they were quite far away from each other. How could such a situation happen at the same time?
The five people were still howling loudly.
Following that, the surrounding mages came over to investigate the situation, but none of them knew what was going on.
Everyone was extremely anxious.
At this moment, one of the people who was rolling on the ground suddenly used his fingernails to grab his body. His skin bag disappeared, immediately revealing the straw that was already filled to the brim. Everyone who saw it cried out in surprise.
And there was the first one.
The other four quickly became like this.
[Fear Points +3,000]
[Fear Points +4,200]
[Fear Points +3,900]
[Fear Points +5,200]
Everyone looked at the person who was rolling on the ground and started to panic.
How could he still be alive?!
What the hell!!
It was too terrifying!!
Everyone backed off in fear. They had never heard of such a situation before.
“Save… Save me!”
The neck of the person on the ground became more and more swollen. When he spoke, everyone saw a lot of straw coming out of his throat. They immediately backed off in fear. Their faces were filled with fear. How could they still bother to save him?
Before long, these people were in so much pain that they died. The straw in their bodies was completely exposed to the air.
The scene was completely silent.
Everyone was stunned.
They stared blankly, not understanding what was going on. How did a living person suddenly become like this?
“Gulp!”
The scene was terrifyingly quiet. Even the sound of some people swallowing their saliva could be heard.
They were still in shock.
The next moment, everyone widened their eyes. They saw a little scarecrow drill out from the stomach of the five people. Then, it swept its small head around and quickly drilled into the bodies of the people closest to them.
These people did not even have time to react before the little scarecrow and fused with them.
“What is this?!”
The few people were shocked and terrified.
Of course, they were not the only ones who were terrified. The people next to them were also terrified.
Among these people, after seeing the little scarecrow, a few people had a guess in their hearts, so they hurriedly left those people.
Soon, the five new targets lay on the ground and cried out in pain.
A few minutes later.
Five more straw corpses appeared.
When the five little scarecrows crawled out again, almost everyone instantly understood.
It was a strange creature!
There was a strange creature here!
Immediately, a few people wanted to rush up and kill the five little scarecrows.
However–
“Wa–“
“Wa–“
Countless crows flew over from God knows where and actually surrounded the people outside the swamp, blocking out the sun and sky!!
At this moment, everyone was panicking.
At the same time, when some of them saw the crows that filled the sky, they actually felt that it was very familiar. After thinking about it again and again, they finally had a flash of inspiration and thought about why it was familiar.
They had seen it on some videos before!
“Scarecrow… scarecrow!”
“The scarecrow is coming!!”
Someone cried out in fear.
The sound spread.
Some people were also frightened, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Of course, there were also some people who looked confused at first, but when the people next to him told them that it was a B+ rank strange creature and that he even had the life of a B+ rank mage in his hands, they were also frightened.

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

8 164Another world
For some, this old story would always be altered, but the outcome was always the same. 'The Evening Celebration.' Some blame humanity for provoking them, while others accuse monsters from another realm, and a few believed it was all merely the devil's fault. There is now a killer in the city. Attacking all the young ladies, pulling something from within them, and abandoning them on the doorsteps of their loved ones. Exactly similar to the old story. Will this issue ever be resolved, or will it be the start of something new? Ignoring the matter is also an option. Continuing with their everyday routine is generally a wise decision. That's just for the time being, of course. Till the plot leads them to someone they should have never encountered.
