《A Mere Fate of Mine》Chapter 25 I’m just an ordinary high school student (2)

Woosh!
All he could hear was the sound of wind as he moved at an incomprehensible speed. The gale pushed him forward and he let his heart flew with it.
No one could see him and no one could feel the impact from his speed. He ran happily, flexibly dodging all the obstacles.
This was Lucien with his Grace of the Wind. There was no need to use other skills as this much was enough.
After coming back to Earth for 3 months, exactly 2 years since he was summoned to Abyss. Now it was mid April which is Spring season in Japan, so the temperature was very nice.
Although it had only been 2 two years, Earth had changed a lot. But civilians’ daily life wasn’t affected much.
There were monsters popping out here and there. However, they were too few and too weak to cause a disturbance. Many countries’ military could easily handle them. Alicia said these monster should be less than level 5.
‘Such a poor monsters’
Not only they couldn’t do their jobs, by causing chaos, they were treated like treasures as everyone wanted their body. Even many teenagers wanted to see them like seeing animals in a zoo.
However, they didn’t know the severity of the situation. These monsters were born, even BEFORE the system could come to Earth!
Right, Lucien couldn’t open his status menu at all yet he still felt the existence of his skills. Moreover, Earth already had mana from a long time ago, maybe hundreds of years. But concentration of it rose sharply these past few years.
Until it became enough to create a monster!
Not only monsters, some people had awaken special powers and this was what bringing chaos. Yep, now human was doing monsters’ jobs.
The World Government and every countries were hunting for these people. They called this kind of people, ‘A Mutant’.
Watching from youtube, most of the powers were very weak, like creating little flame or maybe water. However, some of them had very dangerous power like mind controlling. And most of these mutants with dangerous power became villains.
It’s not that the government is killing or arresting all mutants as there are still good people among them. The good ones will just be under a strict observation
Well, the situations were still within control so people mostly had the same daily life. As for the future when the number of mutants increased? No one knew.
When he reached his school, Tokyo Arifu HIgh School, there was around ten minutes left. Many students were walking and talking with their friends happily. However, no one seemed to notice Lucien.
This was the power of his Myth rating skill. Although he still didn’t know to what extent did his skill could do as he couldn’t open the description, he at least knew that it had something to do with concealment.
As long as he wanted, no one could see him or feel his existence, not even Alicia or any Transcendent Beings. Such an OP skill, right?

Well, he only used it when he ran to school. It would be too lonely if he concealed himself all the time.
‘Mythical Veil of Ethereal Serenity, ah, such a long name, but it sounds cool so I’m fine. Deactivate’
“Kiyah!”
“I-Is that?”
“T-The Prince!”
There were ‘Kiyah’s everywhere as students could finally see him. With his 51 points in charm and his natural face, he was very attractive.
And of course, he felt good about his popularity. On the surface, however, he put on a cool expression. He had a k-pop hair style with dark blue eyes. Coupled with his snow-white-like skin, he was truly a Prince Charming.
His calm demeanor struck into many girls heart. He could hear whispers about him from anywhere he went.
They were all in Japanese but he could understand all of them. With his high intelligent and wisdom, he mastered Japanese in two weeks. It’s not like he became a pro already, but his skill was enough for him to speak fluently.
Unlike him, Alicia learned both English and Japanese in two days. Yep, two days. Her transcendent brain really made him jealous. Because there was no system on Earth right now, there was no language assistance anymore.
Lucien and she were even bewildered when they couldn’t understand each other for the first time.
Well, back to the school, Lucien put a bag on his desk and he sat down quietly. Of course, as a ‘protagonist’, he chose the back seat closing to the window. Everyone just let him choose his seat on the first day.
*Sigh*
Although he was very popular, aside from the envious gaze from boys and lovestruck gaze from girls, no one really talked to him. There was no girls confessing loves as the girls’ society was keeping their own kind in check.
No friends too as the boys felt inferiority complex just from meeting his eyes.
‘Well, at least I can watch this real life anime.’
Lucien looked at the other corner, opposite from his seat. There were three guys bullying a weak looking boy.
“Oi! Oi! Kiyomori-san, can I borrow your money?”
That legendary ‘Oi’ made Lucien shivered. That line by Bully#1 was exactly like anime. Although he add ‘-san’ to show respect, on his face was not an ounce of it.
“I-I have n-no money.”
The one that was bullied was called Shin Kiyomori, or Kiyomori Shin in Japanese way. Kiyomori was his family name and Shin was his given one. That ‘Shin’ was a qualified protagonist name. His face was not bad and could be said to be good looking. In addition to his weak physique, he was the perfect target to be bullied.
“Hey! We’re friend, right? Kiyomori-san?”
“Yeah! We are just borrowing, not stealing!”
Said the Bully#2 and Bully#3 respectively.
“B-But you haven’t r-returned my money from l-last week.”
Aww, what a poor Kiyomori-san. Lucien was actually enjoyed it a bit. Not because he loved bullying, but, this guy’s story was not normal. This was the reason why he even bothered to remember his name.

The borrowing money scene went on for few minutes but no one really cared. The boys were used to it already and the girls were busy looking at Lucien’s face. Right when Bully#1 forcefully took Shin’s wallet, a high pitch voice was heard from outside.
“Stop!”
A brown haired beautiful girl walked in the class with an angry face. She was followed by two plain face side characters which existed purely to emphasize her beauty.
“Y-Yukihino-san?”
All three bullies were surprised as they quickly put Shin’s wallet back down.
“Why do you guys keep bullying Shin-kun?”
Yep, she actually used his given name, showing how closed they were. She was Yukihino Rina, one of the most beautiful girl in this school. Most importantly, she was the only one who seemed to care about Kiyomori Shin, confusing even Lucien.
“W-We’re sorry.”
The three bullies apologized as they were pressured by her beauty. Well, if Lucien remembered correctly, this was the second time Yukihino spotted their bullies.
“Shin-kun, you are a man. You couldn’t keep getting bullied!”
Ah, she was like a Saint, reprimanding the evils protecting the weaks. What a pure heart! Is this really the real her?
Well, her action was what get Shin-kun bullied more and more. Why? It was because those Bully#1, #2 and #3 were jealous.
If he’s not wrong, their lines of thought should be something like, “Why was that fucking weak prick being favored by our Goddess Yukihino? Why not me? Alright, I’ll show my powerful side by bullying that prick then! I’m sure she’ll look at me, powerful man.”
And yep, they were all straight idiots existed just to give our protagonist, Kiyomori, a dark side and inferiority complex.
The bullies went back to their desk and send Kiyomori a hateful glance.
‘Hey, why do I think you guys are so desperate to show that you are bad guys!?’
Lucien frowned as he thought of someone. ‘At least Gibbs tried to act like a good person, although his face didn’t support him.’
Back to our main character. Well, Lucien thought he himself should be a main character when he first entered the school. However, his face was too handsome to be one as Japanese protagonist all had the so called ‘ordinary face’ that could capture woman’s heart at first sight.
As he admitted his face was not ordinary so he gifted his crown to Shin-kun. It was entertaining anyway seeing the plotted-like settings.
“T-Thanks, Yukihino-chan.”
“Mou, take care of yourself, okay?” Yukihino said with a pout.
Lucien could hear a few guys mumbled, “so kawaii”, with his perception.
“Let’s go to our seats Rina-chan.”, said the side woman. It seemed other women didn’t want to be with Shin-kun. He was an otaku after all. And this school somehow discriminate against otakus even though most populations in Japan were okay about them.
‘What a weird school. Or is it just this room?’ Thought Lucien. He felt like his class really had a lot of anime substances.
Now that mana started to overflow Earth, he could feel that something big would happen to this class. ‘Is this the so called Fate?’
Whatever, he was fine anyway. As someone who could easily one shot level 80s monsters, the ones on Earth were like flies to him.
Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du
The bell finally rang and the class quiet down as the homeroom teacher walked in. She was a cute loli teacher, Mizuno Miki. Right, another legendary character.
Lucien never thought someone of such character actually existed. ‘Earth has become so absurd, huh?’
He unconsciously let out a smile, making Mizuno-sensei blushed. Every students were curious why, especially girls. When they saw his smile, they blushed too.
‘Hey, hey Yukihino-san, why the hell are you blushing too. Your Shin-kun is about to cry, you see?’
Facepalming himself, Lucien realized he was such a ridiculous character too.
There was nothing much happened at school. Lucien spent his time reading books in class.
His middle school self would find it absurd knowing he was actually reading a book.
With his high intelligent stats, he could easily memorize everything. Moreover, he felt it instinctively that he got a Reading skill and it increased his reading speed and memorization capability.
At P.E. class, he tried his best to control his strength so he wouldn’t burst the basketball. With his high reaction and dexterity, no matter how much he tried to act ordinary, he could not.
“T-This is…”
“A-A God of Basketball…”
The heck? Really? He got the title of God in any sport he played.
“Kiyahh! He’s so cool!”
“Oh my God! Look at those muscles!”
“Ah.. I want to eat him…”
This is fucking ridiculous! Aren’t girls supposed to play their sport at the another field? Why are they all here!? You too, Sensei!?
These effect was only from 51 charm points. He couldn’t imagine how the situation would escalate if he had put anymore points.
Splash!
Lucien washed his face refreshingly while taking a break. Although he was happy that girls like him, he was feeling weird as well.
“These girls only like me because of my outer appearance, not my actual self,” he mumbled to himself.
“Eh?”
“Eh?”
Two ‘Eh’s, one from the pretty girl in front of him and one from himself who wasn’t aware of the surrounding.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
