《System Hunter》Chapter 8- Dig down
Advertisement
Growing up in an orphanage is hard especially if you are a kid that lives 3 years in a war zone accustomed to violence. I was diagnosed as a mentally ill child and was about to be sent on a mental hospital. I am not crazy, I just have a rough time adjusting. When I learned about my fate, I decided to escape. I become a beggar and a thief for a year. Until I reached the arcade house and met Boss Mariana. I stole money from her in that place but was caught. She discovered my ruthless behaviour and took me in to satisfy her curiousity. She learned from my pass and decided to take me under her wings. Education and proper care. She provide me with those things. In highschool, my violent ways are still their because sometimes I still have my triggers. She decided and took me in the arcade. 'Protect this place. If you ever feel the anger. Go and have fun. There is a punching machines and games here.' Her suggestion helped me a little. I lived in the arcade and became the owner when I graduated highschool. I was still violent but learned to control it as time goes by.
The sound of a roulette sounded on Ernesh head as the nostalgia kicks in. Then the sound slowly stopped and a word came to his view.
[Negan-Tekken]
"Negan? Isn't he from the show? I played tekken but not that much. Well I mostly played shooting games and street fighter.", Ernesh pondered.
[Negan was added in the tekken 7 DLC. You even bought the game in your past memories. How did you even forget that?]
"I'm a mobster not a gamer. The games are part of me growing up and helping my mental issues. I'm surprised I didn't take those illness when I recovered my memories."
Zero kept quiet and instead showed him what he got.
[Skill Intimidation stance has been added to the data.
Skill Rage Mode has been added to the data.
Skill Unstoppable Strike has been added to the data. Need a club or bat to unlock.
Please make a Bat to gain some fighting memory data.]
"Data? What Is this?"
[If you want to learn the skill you can ask me and I will give you instruction about it. The fighting memory data is a simulation for you to copy the fighting style of the acquired data. Please note that you still need to practice them and not immediately learned.]
[Please will your mind to go back into your body.]
Ernesh followed and a door appeared infront of him. He walks in the door and found himself lying on the ground. He feels lightheaded as he got up.
"Skill huh.. Can you just give me the data how to make a gun? It's a little easier to hunt by using guns instead of just learning skills don't you think?
[Guns are useless on people that are in advance tiers also I am advice by Lord L to never introduce Guns in this world. You can discover it on your own if you want. Also, Please proceed to the bookshelf and take the Research book 20. To acquire your reward.]
"How can I know that? I use and buy guns not make them. Also, Your not wasting anytime huh?"
[Affirmative. You are weak right now. Sadly we don't have the ability to predict or apoint the nature of your core the moment you are born. Please become strong or your ratings will drop.]

"I know only street fighting since I am in highschool. All my fight to the deaths are involve with guns and schemes. You surely know that right?"
[Affirmative but I am still a system. The information and guidance that I will provide is still a system type. You have strong attachment to the arcade which will be the type of your reward. Arcade related data rewards are the only thing I can access from the earth to guide you. Please proceed to the bookshelf. Your reward is still not finish.]
"Fine, Fine. I'll follow for now." Ernesh gave up and followed Zero's instruction. He took out a black book with a number 20 on it.
"Runic's Space Manipulation" Ernesh read the title behind and started reading. The book is about turning a certain space into a small artificial world. The space will depend on the area in the real world. When the area is done, it will turn into a seal area or space. Inside of it one can control the flow of time, weather and landscapes provided that the person has enough materials.
"The making of spacial room must be special and protected. That's the reason why strong organizations, Kingdoms and empires have at least one sealed area. Their spacial room however can only have two function, mostly time manipulation and landscape function."
Ernesh continued to read and known that in order to create a spacial room one must hide it very well. The research book doesn't end their. The book contained how to create a spacial room that has 4 function. The time, landscape, weather and gravity by the use of the runic symbols. The materials however is very difficult to find.
The materials on the chest are only enough for the three function spacial room type. He still needed more bone dust of a magical beast.
[Don't worry there are subtitutes inside the room enough to make the spacial room. The only problem is the area where we will place the spacial room.]
"You mean... Right! I almost forgot. we have the bones of a legendary tier person and a professional tier person.", Ernesh said as he glanced at the two skeleton.
"So the only thing left to do is find a place to hide the spacial room. Where no one will find it." Ernesh pondered for a second and suddenly has an idea.
"Zero tell me do you have any runic symbol that can teleport me to the spacial room that I made or just make an entrance by the use of runic symbol?"
[Affirmative. Runic symbol is available.]
"Then it's not that hard to find a place for our spacial room." Ernesh left the hidden room after confirming and decided to go out and explore a little bit. The hunters waiting outside are getring bored for hours and when they saw Ernesh coming out they strerched their bodies and began their work.
The woods where Ernesh is, don't have that much to offer. Small beasts like hare, mouse and little birds are the only game he can spot on. He hunt a few for an hour before returning home. That evening Ernesh made a request that made his parents confused. That evening Ernesh requested to get a pickaxe and a shovel. "I want to try making traps." They both had a relaxed face when Ernesh told them his intention.
The next day Ernesh returned to the same spot. The hunters didn't follow him this time and guarded the area where damgerous beasts are incase Ernesh stray on his adventure. Ernesh sighed in relief as he noticed no one is watching him.

Ernesh took the magic ink and a bone dust of magical beast. He followed Zero's advice and marked a symbol on his shovel. "Ilahk", The runic symbol Ernesh chanted is a symbol designed to enhance the properties of the shovel. He used the same symbol on the pickaxe.
Inside the woods he found a place that is well hidden. He just want to hide and finish what he is doing before someone notice him.
"Alright, let's dig down."
Ernesh used the shovel and dig straight down the ground. He barely used his stamina because the ground felt very smooth like melted cheese as he used the shovel. The rocks crumble just by using the pickaxe with a little effort. Since the spacial room needed to be place in a well hidden place and with the help of Zero he can create an entramce using Runic symbols, he decided to place it underground and destroy the entrance.
'Runic symbols are really mysterious.' Ernesh thought as he kept on digging. The runic symbols contains magic by just a chant and a symbol. The runic symbols even have their own type according to the data Zero provided. The enhancing type that needed magical inks or bloods to activate, The attack type that are embedded on special made scrolls and orbs, and the domain type that needed areas to activate. The lost history of the runic language was further developed by the kingdom and the new type was discovered. Runic Tattoo, which basically embedding the runic symbols on the 6 different part of the body. The tattoo will give the user the its skill but the cost will be their energies becoming less.
He dug straight 200 meters deep in just an hour. He decided to make the spacial room 1 000 000 cubic meters, having 100 meters in width, length and height. With the help of Zero measuring the distance Ernesh finish clearing the area. He left pillars of dirt to temporarily support the place before he applied the runic symbols to stabilize the area. He took out the boxes that contains the magical ink and bonedust of the magical beast. He even took the two skeleton down. The hardest part for him was painting the magic symbols. He only need to paint 3 different symbols every meter on the planes but he took 6 hours to finish just one of the planes. He first finish the top then proceeded to finish the northern plane. Afterwards, he dicided to went home and covered the hole he dug. He repeated this process of painting the symbol and returning home for 3 days before he finished stabilyzing the whole space. "Rekbuht Nehk'ngat Oy'shapshe" Ernesh chanted the runic words of the symbols and the planes on the bottom and the south solidified without giving the impression of crumbling down. The day is getting dark so he decided to Break down the pillars and clean the area before returning home.
The next day he still needed to make a magic circle using the bones of Mira, whose bones are at legendary tier. This time it only took him 5 hours to make the magic circle. Ernesh drew a large magic circle around 50 square meter's. Inside he created 4 small magic circle that represent the types. He placed the bones of the prince on the upper left magic circle. Next he placed the magical beasts bonedusts with dirt and grass on the upper right. Third, he placed the lower bones of Mira's skeleton on the lower left. Fourth, except for the skull he placed the remainging on the lower right magic circle. Lastly the skull is placed in the centwr of the big magic circle.
"Oy'shapshe 4 Esalc. Oh'ygav, Aghad, Zarho nehk Y'tivargh." Ernesh chanted with the runic language and a feeling of deja vu emerged. The area began to distort. The walls began to change with what it looked like a never ending horizon of a flat grassland but in reality, an invisible wall will stop you once you reach a certain end. The dirty ceiling began to turn an endless sky with the sun lighting the area and the wind blew swaying the grass.
"Oooh Mama! Aahhh! Home, sweet home. What a wonderful place to live in." Ernesh closed his eyes and felt the cool wind on his body.
[Please go to the center of the magic circle.]
Zero disturbed his moment as he lyes down the grass. "Let me rest a bit.", Ernesh said.
[You can rest at the center. I just need you to be their.] Zero urges.
"Fine." Ernesh grumply stood up and walk on the magic circle that shined on the ground. Finally Ernesh lyed down to rest on the grass land and enjoyed the wind blowing through his body.
[Transfering Energy. . . ]
"Transfering what now?" Ernesh ask as he noticed the words on his top left vision.
[You remembered the system that we got disposed?]
"Uhuh."
[I recovered the energies he stoled from the planet's core and returned the energy. As a reward we got a tenth of the total energy. I am using that energy now to fuel the special room. With this energy you can further upgrade the functions.]
"Eh why didn't you tell me?"
[You never ask. Also you can see the amount of energy we had right now. Just close your eyes.]
Ernesh closed his eyes and words appeared in his mind.
[Total Anomalies: 42]
[Total Legal System: 8]
[BOON]
[Energy: 100 Liters]
"Why is it in Liters?"
[Would you prefer mana where you can't even use the word as a measurement of the energies? I can say 100 thousand mana but how much is that really? Or would you prefer points? What is that point? 1 point is what? Can-]
"Alright! Stop! My god. What's got into you. I understand that now. Liters it is."
[Apologies. I just don't like the idea of describing something with something something.]
"Ohkaaay. Just relax. We earned it. I need to rest for a bit."
After completing the special room Ernesh decided to have a rest before finishing another magic circle and destroying the entrance, returning home late at night.
[If your that slow in making the magic circle then atleast manage your time properly.]
"I could have done it faster if the one created these things isn't a goddamn perfectionist!"

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
