《Arcana》Chapter 23 - Repaid Debt
Advertisement
[Enrica POV]
I was scared…
Our plan was in pieces.
Taft, Stonoir and Ruin were captured and now there are three Succubus Orchids.
I can’t move.
Ruin’s kick left me immobile.
A feeling of hopelessness clouded my heart until…
This human; Lan, patted my head as if saying
‘You’ve done enough’
…
“I’ll repay my debt now. Leave it to me” [Lan]
(ZZZZAPPPP CRACKLE CRACKLE)
!!!
L-L-L-Lan is glowing!!!
He was full clad in lightning then
(BOOM!)
Like a thunderclap, it was instantaneous
.

[Lantern POV]
I clad myself in lightning, lunged myself at the succubus orchids then I maneuvered through the air with arcana.
First, I unsheathed my blade then cut all the fruits from the Succubus Orchids.
Second, I cut all of the vines and roots clinging onto the captured dwarves.
Lastly, I gave each of the Succubus Orchids a slice from the ground up in a vertical cut.
This all happened under 5 seconds.
The monster plants couldn’t react to my speed…
I don’t remember being this fast before…
Ah…!
Right, the avatar seed helps the host grow…
But still, that was a overkill
“”” EH? “”””
“Umm… are you all alright?” [Lan]
“””””EH?!?!?!””””
Huh~
Like I guessed, they assumed I was helpless.
I’ve been living in this forest for about 2 months you know?
Not entirely sure but I assume it’s been that long…
Who wouldn’t adapt to that?
The three dwarves that I rescued were now flat on the ground, gasping for air-
“HUFF… I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE” [Taft]
“…this means we can go home, right?” [Stonoir]
“We… were so ahead of ourselves… i-if… Lan was not around… we wouldn’t be here” [Ruin]
As they were feeling relieved, Enrica had her arm around Shen and walking towards us.
When Ruin noticed, he quickly stood up then performed a dogeza-

“I’M SO SORRY! AS THE LEADER I HAVE F-“ [Ruin]
“Stand up, Ruin” [Enrica]
“B-bu” [Ruin]
“Up” [Enrica]
When Ruin stood up-
(SLAP!)
?!
“Don’t regret what you did, you did it for me, right?” [Enrica]
“… I still hit you with full force” [Ruin]
“And I just slapped you with all of my strength, we’re even” [Enrica]
“What? If you slapped me at full strength I would have-“ [Ruin]
“Well, I’m exhausted, okay!? You kicked me in the stomach after all… That was all the strength I had left in me” [Enrica]
Enrica put up her fist…
“… Fine, not like I can win with an argument with you” [Ruin]
That fist bump reminds me of home…
With apologetic smiles on their faces, they were content.
After that, Enrica approached me… with a red face?
“Are you okay?” [Lan]
“I-I’m fine but that doesn’t matter right now-“ [Enrica]
I placed my hand on her forehead, maybe she caught a fever with all the stress that’s piling up on her right now
“See, you’re burning up. Drink some wa-“ [Lan]
“Shut up for a second!” [Enrica]
“Eh? Um, okay?” [Lan]
She’s different from earlier… isn’t she?
“T-Tha… thank you! For saving my friends, for saving us all, for saving me… thank you!” [Enrica]
I felt my heart skip a beat for a second.
H-how cute!
A little girl being so honest…
All is right with the world.
I saw an angel but I can’t say a word of what’s on my mind-
“Like I said, I only repaid my debt. No thanks needed, okay?” [Lan]
“HA? You think your worthless-of- a-human-worm’s life is equal to ours?! Dream on! Saving you was like saving a dog from drowning!”
…
How am I supposed to react to this statement?

“Which is why you have to come with us!” [Enrica]
“How does that make sense?” [Lan]
“It’s annoying but it was you who completed our objective and not us. We may be short but we are not low enough to take someone else’s credit. We’ll take you to our village” [Enrica]
I could see the other dwarves nodding in unison
Guess it can’t be helped…?
“Hmmm… fine, I’ll go with you” [Lan]
Enrica’s face suddenly glowed…
She really does look like a child hehe I can’t leave them behind anyway.
In the state that they’re in, traveling may as well be suicide.
“Heard me, Ruin?” [Enrica]
“Loud and clear” [Ruin]
Unlike the elves, these dwarves are really nice beings huh

They can grow cycles of human Players, conditioned in a simulation of Earth to make them want to play Emerilia. The humans were a mighty foe for the Jukal Empire, but with their inhibitions gone and the morality of a game never in question, they can hold back the tide of the Aggressive species while calling it fun. What's the best way to control slaves? Make them think that they're free.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.
