《A Mere Fate of Mine》Chapter 26 I’m just an ordinary high school student (3)

“Eh?”
“Eh?”
Lucien looked at the girl in front of him. From the bow around her neck, he could see that she was a 2 year student.
She had a black hair and eyes, like a typical Japanese. She was also a beautiful girl even with her flat chest. What remarkable was her cold face. There didn’t seem to be much emotion on it, only a frown when she looked at him.
“Ah, sorry Senpai, please.” Lucien moved away from the faucet and bent his body a bit to show respect.
“I’m kind of understand you.”
Just when he was about to go back to his room, he heard a voice from behind.
“Hm?”
“Sigh, people only look at appearance.” She sighed as she was refilling her water bottle.
Now that Lucien looked at her carefully, she was even more beautiful than Yukihino Rina from his class. Coupled with her cold temperament and action full of grace, she was like a princess.
Even Lucien, who had been with Alicia for years, found her attractive. Moreover, because of his lonely school life right now, he was happy to talk to someone, not to mention that she was a girl.
“Senpai must have been suffering too, huh?”
“There are many boys love-confessing me, however most of them keep sending me lewd gazes.”
“Well, I got it from girls too. It’s like they wanted to eat me alive, hah.”
“To be honest, those boys just want to have sex with my body. They will just throw me away when they’re bored.”
“Pftt” Lucien was shocked by her choice of word. ‘We have only met and you are a girl. At least, there should be some consideration about using the word ‘sex’ right?’
Not caring about him, the girl just continued her venting. “Moreover, why do girls even keep being jealous. I haven’t even touch any of those filthy boys but the girls in my class… *sigh*”
“You have it rough, Senpai.” Lucien pitied her. At least he was not bullied by his own gender, right? Well, because of his well-built muscles and girls’ piercing gazes, those bullies didn’t dare to do anything to him, not even 3rd year bullies.

Both of them talked to each other about how lonely they were while sitting on the grass field, not bothering to go to class. It had been a while since they had someone to talk to so their conversation went on for an hour.
“You can call me Lucien. Nice to meet you, Senpai.”
“Just call me Shiori-senpai. Nice to meet you, Lucien-kun.”
After a while, they exchanged their Line ID, the most common messaging app in Japan, and went back to their class. Because of their similar circumstance, they had become friends right away.
“Was she courting me?” Thought Lucien curiously. The art in reading woman’s mind was too profound for him to understand. Even his dad could only say, ‘Woman is a mysterious creature.’
“Ah.. He actually skipped a class..”
“W-What a bad boy..”
“But that’s cool!”
Ignoring another round of ‘Kiyah’s, He started playing his phone. Although reading books was fun, game was definitely more enjoyable. Then, Alicia sent him a text.
[Alicia : Lulu, how r u doing 😀]
[Lucien : Pretty okay.]
[Alicia : There is a monster 8 blocks away from your school 😱😱]
[Lucien : Nah, just a small fly anyway.]
[Alicia : You need to exercise, Lulu, don’t be lazy! 😡😠]
[Lucien : Sigh... Fine, your highness Alicia.]
[Alicia : 👍💕]
Alicia loved emojis so much that she put them after her every messages. Lucien got up and walked to the rooftop. No one noticed him at all. Everyone could still see him reading book on his desk but his real body wasn’t there anymore.
Remember his Misleading was one of the ingredients of his Myth skill?
It was almost the same as Misleading but no more time limit and much more realistic than the illusion before.
Lucien’s eyes glowed in a light blue color. Looking around with Eyes of the Truth Seeker, he spotted the monster. People were running away, screaming, praying for the soldiers to quickly come.
The monster was only eight blocks away, around 3 kilometers.
Pew!
He tried his good-old-day Magic arrow. But even with his more than 200 intelligent and control, it dispersed after 1.5 km.

“Well,” Lucien muttered. “Now it gonna be a bit of an overkill.”
Holy Feather of Spear Immunity!
Only one bright white spear formed next to him, radiating a holy light. He grabbed it firmly and shot it into the sky.
Twilight Edge!
The spear made a beautiful white curve in the sky, leaving a trail of sparkling stars along the way. Unfortunately, no one could appreciate that sight except him.
Grrrrr-
Plak!
The monster’s head exploded while the white spear dissipated away, leaving no trace.
The monster wasn’t given a chance to scream before it died pitifully. The people around were shock at the gory scene and some even passed out.
At least, an old grandma that was about to be eaten was saved. Lucien wasn’t sure if she would suffer a heart attack. Well, it’s not that he cared.
Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du
The bell rang again signaling the end of the day. Lucien spent his time feeling the bustling street, enjoying the scene as he walked back home.
“Okaeri, Lu-chan!” (Welcome back)
“Oka!..Luuu!”
“Awww, Lala is so cute!”
Reaching home, his mom and Lala greeted him and Lucien fell into the whirlpool of Lala’s cuteness again.
Seeing Alicia watching TV in the living room, he frowned. “Alicia, I’m back!”
“Hi, Lulu.”
Alicia was laying on sofa hugging/biting a pillow as she was watching korean drama.
“Why did you look at that guy!?”
“Noo, get him! It’s him who loves you!”
“Oh my god! Eun Jung is so stupid!”
Lucien frowned moodily seeing an angel was so into k-drama. He didn’t like the fact that his Alicia was so into k-pop idol.
Well, His korean hairstyle was actually to gain her attention.
“Damn it! Just kiss already!”
After returning to Earth, Lucien started to see her as ‘woman’, not master, nor sister. He was already in love with her.
Moreover, he had already seen her as ‘his’. Hmph! You want a kiss? I will give you one!
And like that, from behind, he turned her head up, looking at her angrily. Alicia was confused but didn’t think much.
Then Lucien pressed his lips against hers with a blurred speed.
“Ah! Don’t look, Lala-chan!”
He could hear his mom’s voice from behind. However, he didn’t care. Alicia had her eyes widened, shocked at the sudden assault. And it wasn’t a normal one as Lucien didn’t seem to stop sucking her lips at all.
After 20 seconds, Lucien parted her lips with a calm face. He said coolly, “You want a kiss? I give you one.”
Then he quickly walked away, leaving a stunned Alicia with her red face and dishieval hair.
Lucien almost stumbled on the floor when he heard his mom muttered. “Oh lord, my son is into an incest! Lala-chan, you need to be careful in the future okay?”
Reaching his bedroom, Lucien covered himself with a blanket and screamed like a fangirl.
“I-I actually d-did it!”
Then, he played game until midnight because he wanted to forget the embarrassment he felt. That day, he didn’t dare to give Alicia a massage like usual and went to sleep.
Although, with his high vitality and endurance, he only need to sleep once a week, he did it anyway. It was relaxing and comfortable after all.
Climbing up the tree he grew in the backyard, he muttered with a smile before falling asleep. “Such a normal day for an ordinary high school student like me.”
Right, he had been sleeping on tree for years already since being summoned to Abyss. It calmed his heart and he felt safe with the tree.
Meanwhile, in the room next to his room, Alicia was using her computer. However, it was not the normal Alicia. Lucien would definitely recognise she was in her ‘sadistic’ mode, seeing her smile right now.
On her screen was the pictures of Lucien since he was young. She touched her lips in a seductive way.
“Lulu~”

8 139The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
