《The Demon Lord becomes the hero? DROPPED》Chapter 4: Luck OP?... or not
Advertisement
Author note: Hope you like my fourth chapter. It took me a while to get the table of stats to look decent. I will probably place the same stat table at the bottom of every page just so you can know how much stronger Drac gets per chapter. Thanks for reading.

"Stats..." (Drac)
A box appears in the middle of my vision.

"By the way, most humans start off with 10 in each stat." (Arthur)
Wow, I knew I was only slightly stronger than a normal human but by 1 strength wow. Also, why is my luck so high? I thought it would be low as I was unlucky enough to be summoned to another world, away from the safety as the world already conquered by my parents. I kind of understand wisdom though. I am planning to conquer this world so I have to be wise.
"So, what are you stats?" (Arthur)
"Pretty much average but I do have a couple of interesting skills" (Drac)
"Good, I would have chucked you out of here if you didn't. Still, average stats are a bit disappointing. Anyway, choose your weapon." (Arthur)
Inside the barracks on one wall, practice weapons are mounted. There are all kind of weapons, from pole arms to daggers. All are wooden. Considering the pros and cons of some, I choose a scimitar. Yes, I know, swords would be easier but I want to be able to parry more easily. A curved edge should allow me to do that more easily. A box appears in the corner of my vision.

Class chosen. Foreign warrior: A warrior using a weapon of unknown origins. It does not seem to originate from any known area of Golrend
"Oh, you chose that thing." (Arthur)
Arthur looked slightly disgusted at me. I guess a long sword or a pike would have been choices that he would have preferred me to pick, both typical of a soldier.
"Do you want to use a shield as well?" (judgmental Arthur)
"Might as well." (Drac)
I walk over to another wall that is lined with many different types of shields. The shields are metal (my guess steel) because they are judged not as dangerous as their weapon counterparts. There is a range from great shields to rather small shields. I choose a small kite shield that doesn't have to be held. It straps to my arm fairly well. Arthur chucks me some leather armor. Some braces, a breastplate and shin guards. I wear them.
"Let's spar to find out if you have any prior experience fighting." (Arthur)
Arthur walks past me and out of the small barrack with a creepy smile on his face. Something tells me he will enjoy beating me down. It will probably be a one way beat down. A soldier Captain fighting the equivalent of a civilian.
I follow Arthur out of the barrack and out onto the outdoor training area. Giving my scimitar to diagonal crossing swipes, I get ready for the imminent pummeling. My enemy, Arthur is wearing decent armor. It's purple so my guess is it is this world's equivalent of mythril. He his holding a wooden long sword in his right hand which he looks fairly competent in using. In his left is a metal great shield which he looks like he can move as easily as I can move my small kite. I concentrate, more than I have ever concentrated in my entire life, only seeing the very start of his actions.

I wake up on the ground of the training area, covered in cold water, with Arthur standing above me holding a bucket. Damn bastard is stronger than I had originally thought. The fight was over so quickly. Arthur suddenly dashed forward, lunging his sword faster than anyone I had ever seen. I had jumped out of the way, hitting my head on the ground and knocking myself out.
Sure, I did knock myself out but if the fight continued I can say without a doubt that it would have ended the same way. With me having lost.
"You... actually managed to dodge my attack." (Arthur)
Was it really that shocking? Undoubtedly, the only reason I managed to dodge was my ridiculously high luck stat.
"Guess you must be a little competent. Let's head out of the city to fight some actual monsters." (Arthur)
Great, I managed to dodge due to luck but because of that, I am being overestimated. Someone 1 strength stat stronger than a regular civilian will have to fight monsters that only adventurers and soldiers can defeat. While I was still on the floor, Arthur chucks at me the metal counterpart of the scimitar. Guess I will have to fight some monsters then.
We leave the training area and head through the city. It seems rather busy. I have never really seen it like this. Being early afternoon, there are many stalls around a people swarming them. A thought crosses my mind. It would be fun to everyone running and screaming as they are being slaughtered. A demonic smile appears on my face.
Confused...
"Never seen a market before?" (Arthur)
"Nope." (Drac)
I don't want to be suspicious so I quickly killed the conversation. Arthur probably noticed how I was looking at everyone.
We arrived at the city gate after about 30 minutes of walking and left through them. What greeted me was a large green field with a river and forest in the distance. Oh, and of course a small slime jumping on my face...

Nameless
To all Anime Lovers and Readers. In a world where magic and advanced science exist, thanks to the man named Solomon, magic was unleashed and a new age had begun. As time went by, science had progressed at an astounding rate. However, as science evolved, so did magic. Magic had turned itself into many different types of energies. Energies that no other human could physically, mentally, magically surpass. That is the world Nameless lives in. Nameless, a boy who was disowned by his parents at the age of five. Nobody cared about him really. When he arrived to the orphanage, he was already greeted and bullied by a few kids. Why? Simply because he had no magic. Where he lives, magic was everything, and if that person has no magic, he doesn't belong there. Day after day, Nameless continues his attempt on surviving in the orphanage. Until finally at the age of 12, he was adopted by a strange and huge man. From there on out Nameless's story began, and a whole new world is discovered. This is a story that will change Nameless's life forever. Author's Say: Discontinued, also, don't read it. It's cringe. Please, for my sanity. SANITY!
