《I Reincarnated Into a Different World, Let’s Make the Most of it!》Chapter 12

“Hah… Hah… Hah….” I pant, leaning back against the wall with cuts all over my body. I didn’t fare too bad, though. Out of the 13 people that surrounded me, 7 of them are dead by my blade.
Their Vice-Leader face contorted in anger, “What the hell are the lot of you doing! There’s 13 of you, 13. You can’t even handle a single guy. Fuckin’ retards.” He angrily shouts at his subordinates. “Fine, if I had to do it myself, then so be it. All of you, get back.”
“His majesty finally showed himself,” I said sarcastically.
The Vice-Leader smugly smiled at me, “Hah, be thankful. You’re about to die in my hands,” he brandished his chopper, resting it on his shoulder.
“Says the guy who let his subordinate die to me.”
“You!” the Vice-Leader swung his chopper down at me. At my peak, I could easily dodge this. With how tired I am, however, the best I can do is to parry it clumsily. Seeing me unbalanced after parrying his attack, he kicked me immediately as he smirks. “What a pathetic sight for an Aura Master.”
I sneered inwardly. Although an Aura Master was strong, I’m only in 1st Grade. Sure, 1st Grade Aura Master can go toe to toe against 3rd Circle Mage, but that’s only if it is one-on-one. Facing groups of enemies, especially trained ones like these guys, drained my Aura Pool quickly. Lesson learned. Next time, I’ll use it more conservatively.
“Heh”, I let out a small laugh.
“What’s so funny?”
“Despite how you look, you’re actually pretty shrewd. Upon seeing your enemy was an Aura Master, you used human-wave tactics to tire him while you observed if your enemy can be beaten or not. Seeing your tactics work, you know that you have a good chance of beating your enemy, so you continue to order your subordinate to attack me. Once you see that I’m tired enough, you stepped up to the plate, and if you managed to kill me, all the glory would belong to you.” I laugh sarcastically, “It’s a shame, though. Your plan would’ve worked had I’m only just an ordinary 1st Grade Aura Master.”

“What are you trying to say?”
I let out a chuckle, “SYSTEM!”
===
Let’s backtrack a little bit.
About a week ago, I felt elated that I got a system from my favourite MMORPG. The system gave me a blank card to use as I see fit. My first thought was to use it on the Resources Card, but then again, I don’t have any other card that complimented it.
Then, my head immediately goes into Champion Card. Having a powerful companion wouldn’t hurt in battle. My excitement dwindles down when I see how fast my Neutral Resources were generating—a measly 1 NR per hour. I forgot about the harsh beginning of Card Master. An idea suddenly hit me. Spell Card. Yup, even though it gets expensive in the latter part of the game, Spell Card was the one players initially used to level themselves up.
I went to my mom immediately and ask her to spar with me. I said that I wanted to learn countermeasures when facing against mage. She agreed, then we head into the training ground. She teaches me many things, like what spell do mages like to use the most and how to deal with an every-single situation that a mage can put you in.
I then ask her what her favourite spell in dealing with tons of enemies is. She demonstrates it to me while I took out my blank card before charging in the spell directions. She scolded me, but it’s all worth it.
===
“Open Spell. Use NR, 3rd Circle Spell, Explosion,” I shout out loud; immediately after, an explosion so big engulf the black-cloaked men. I couldn’t see for a while because of the thick smoke that appears after the explosion.
As the smoke clears, I hear a cough nearby. I went towards it, finding the Vice-Leader coughing, with his legs missing. “You’re pretty strong to survive a 3rd Circle spell.” I mocked the Vice-Leader. He looks at me as if I’m some sort of a monster, “What are you?”

“Your nightmare.” I let out an edgy word as I stabbed him, ending his life. I slumped down the floor. Wait, what am I here for again? Fuck, that’s right. The mayor’s son was kidnapped. Fuck, where are the hostages? Is this group even the kidnappers? They gotta be right…. Damn it.
I forced myself to stand up. I survey my surroundings and found a place I haven’t seen before. I walked towards it. Huh? It’s the same material as the camouflage wall earlier. I took a peek inside and found a truck. “Good job noticing it.” I jumped in fright, turning my head; I see Yuya completely unharmed. “Go and rest up. I’ll take care of the rest.”
*DING*
Quest completed. Having helped Yuya on finding the kidnapped victims, you change the fate of the mayor’s son. Instead of being the demon everybody feared, the mayor’s son will one day become a hero that everybody revered.
Quest reward: 40 Fate points
*DING*

“MR YUYA,” a fat, flamboyant man ran towards Yuya with both his arms opening wide. Yuya moves to the side, completely avoiding the fat man’s hug.
The fat man’s face hit the ground, but he immediately gets up before bowing his head, “THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OH, MY BELOVED SON, I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD’VE DONE IF YOU DISAPPEARED FROM ME.” The fat man, who I’m assuming is the mayor, hugs his own son instead.
“I WAS SO SCARED, DAD,” the father and son duo cry together, making things awkward for Yuya and me. “Is it always like this?” I awkwardly ask Yuya. He massages his forehead, “Unfortunately, yeah.”
“I-I see….”
What a weird family.

Hinterland
Simon sincerely believed he was saving Morgan's life when he pushed her off the second-story roof of her family farmhouse. To be fair, his mother was burning it to the ground at the time. But Morgan Mumford, a lonely outcast with a chip on her shoulder and a full skeleton of remarkably unbroken bones, is not particularly convinced of his good intentions. Because the instant he pushed her over Simon also whisked Morgan into the realm of Hinterland: a shadowy world that is a perfect replica of their home town of Coching. But Hinterland is a hungry and dangerous place, where ordinary objects have taken on a life of their own. In Hinterland you might be ambushed by a gang of motorcycles or eaten alive by a duplex. And by god, you run from scissors. Morgan is now trapped in this hostile realm, unable to find a way home. Hunted relentlessly by Aqualung, an evil-minded Buick Skylark with a love for Jethro Tull and hatred for all things on two legs, she is forced to join a ragtag band of fellow castaways to ensure her survival. But the embittered leader of these children has plans of his own, and before long Morgan finds herself swept into his vendetta against Hinterland's imperious ruler: Simon's mother, who commands the living, breathing town to do her bidding and schemes to transform it into something worse than it is now. Something ravenous. It's time for Morgan to decide whether to ditch her new allies and find her own way out of the belly of the beast, or stay and help her fellow outcasts weather the violent feud that brews on the horizon.
8 174Unprecedented: The Life of Enheduanna, the First-Known Writer
The earliest writer known to history by name was a woman. Her name was Enheduanna, and this is her story. Set in Mesopotamia in the 23rd century BCE, Unprecedented is told in Enheduanna’s own voice as she looks back on her life in a private reminiscence to Inanna, her patron goddess. After her father forces the young princess to leave home to be High Priestess in a strange city, she gradually comes to excel in the role, guided by supporters and anchored by faith. Over the next twenty-five years, Enheduanna survives plots, vendettas and rebellions and lives to see her two brothers and nephew become kings. When the stability of her family’s empire is threatened, she develops an ambitious and unique project, using poetry to unite the people of Mesopotamia. But her greatest work is produced in the darkest hour of her life, when an enemy takes away everything she has.
