《Arcana》Chapter 21 - The First Outsider
Advertisement
I am presently surrounded by 5 kids; 3 boys and 2 girls. Each of them is carrying a gigantic weapon for their size.
“Enrica! Why’d you suddenly jump in front of a Succubus Orchid? Are you crazy? To save someone you have no relation to, no less!” [Ruin]
“Yeah Enrica, Dianara would kill us if something were to happen to you” [Taft]
“Haaa~” [Stonoir]
“Come on guys… you know she meant well” [Shen]
They’ve been throwing complaints at the little girl who saved me.
She did a good thing but she’s the one being scolded.
She doesn’t look sad tho, she’s just crossing her arms with a ‘hmpf!’… total tsundere if I may say so myself…
“Um…” [Lan]
“”“HA?!”””
“Please don’t lash out on your companion… it’s my fault that I had to be saved. Little girl, thank you and to you all, I apologize” [Lan]
“Well of course it’s your fault! But this… wait did you just call Enrica…pfft little girl? HAHAHAHA” [Taft]
“””PUHAHAHA”””
All of them burst in laughter so suddenly, why?
Isn’t she a little girl?
“Oi, human” [Enrica]
“Y-yes!?” [Lan]
“I may not look it but I’ve lived for quite some time and my name isn’t little girl, it’s Enrica. Got.IT?” [Enrica]
“Enrica… Y-yeah, roger…” [Lan]
“We probably all look like kids to you but we’re not! We’re dwarves, get that over your head!” [Enrica]
“Eh?! I heard of dwarves from our fairytales and they were described as bulky, hairy and muscular people… actually, wait… okay” [Lan]
“””?”””
Throw away your common sense Lan… forget….
“So… what are you guys doing here?” [Lan]
“We came here for the Succubus Orchid’s fruit” [Ruin]
“Fruit? You mean those things on its’ head?” [Lan]
“Exactly. Those are miracle fruits for many diseases but getting it is quite difficult. That’s why our team was sent to acquire some. Our village chief caught an arcana stagnancy disease” [Ruin]

A what now?
“…” [Lan]
“Don’t tell me…” [Taft]
“What is that?” [Lan]
“Sigh… I thought you were a researcher or something, coming here alone and all… you were this stupid huh” [Enrica]
“Ignorance. Not stupidity, ignorance!” [Lan]
“Well, whatever… that disease I mentioned; arcana stagnancy, blocks the flow of arcana in the arcana canals.” [Ruin]
Woah…
Even these little ki- dwarves know about the arcana canals…
Is that common knowledge here or something?
“Here in the Underworld, the arcana pool is incredibly dense so it dange- wait… human…” [Ruin]
“Hmmm?” [Lan]
“HOW IS THERE ANOTHER HUMAN HERE IN THE UNDERWORLD?!” [Ruin]
“Eh?”
“Now that you mention it…” [Shen]
“Hey you… what’s your name, human?” [Taft]
“L-Lantern Venick…” [Taft]
“Venick? As in the VENICK?!” [Ruin]
“EH? Is there a famous Venick that I don’t know of or something?” [Lan]
“…Supposedly Kael is the only human here…that means…” [Enrica]
Little gi- I mean, the one who saved me, Enrica, murmured something… I couldn’t catch it-
“LANTERN!” [Ruin]
“YES?!” [Lan]
“Did you perhaps…” [Ruin]
Gulp…
“come from the surface?” [Ruin]
Eh? I thought the question was something hard…
“Well, yeah” [Lan]
“WHAT?! NOW IT MAKES SENSE!” [Ruin]
Suddenly all of the ki- I mean dwarves were in a frenzy… why?
Wait… am I-
“Uh hey… could it be that, I’m the only human here…?” [Lan]
“That’s correct! The first outsider yet” [Taft]
Eh?

Mushoku Tensei: That one forgotten Mob
Life is filled with the unexpected. Today is another normal day in life, as I passed the time with my friends to bully the cursed superd child feared in the village to show our might to her. A water ball suddenly hit us. The kid from the knight's office was unleashing his spell to attack us, the bully. Never would I expect that simple water ball to create a trigger for memories to fill my brain. I was 5 at that time, and the memories were jumbled. I don't know whether it’s mine or another's. I just know that this is not a memory of a single person. And, from that memory, I know that I’m actually a mob... I’m one of Sylphiette’s bullies. You won’t know me since I am not named in any of the works, whether they were manga, novels, or even anime. Heck, I only say one word and I'm dead in the next part. an actual mob, where I don’t even appear in either the opening or the ending of the anime. The thing happened so suddenly. I don’t know whether I am reincarnated, transmigrated, or just receiving some memories from someone in the real world. The deadline is 5 years from now, the day the Metastasis incident happened. Can I be another prodigy in the Mushoku Tensei world, or will I still be another slightly better mob? Disclaimer! *I’m not a native, so please do tell me if you find any grammar mistakes or better word choices. *!!! There'd be a lot of web novel parts and less Claude's POV, but it'll get focused over time, so be patient and skim if you don't like some parts. I made it So other reader Can Understand where they are in the Story. It's also my timeline note! *Thank you very much for reading and your feedback. *R-18 tags for gore and profanity.
