《My Story in the Otherworld》Chapter 17
Advertisement
When I woke up, it was still way too early in the morning, maybe 4 or 5 o clock. I quickly used Conceal Presence and left the house so that I can find a place with as little magic as possible to subdue Belphegor's soul.
As it was extremely early in the morning and pretty dark, no one was really outside. I saw only a couple of suspicious people with hoods, but since I used Conceal Presence I never really garnered the attention of those people. As I was walking down the town, I found the perfect place. A shabby house that looked like it was abandoned. I quickly went inside to upgrade my Katana.
Inside the house were many doors that were extremely worn down and even looked like they were about to break with a single touch. As I progressed, I made tiny creaking sounds which did unsettle me. I did watch a lot of horror movies back in earth so even if I had all these skills, ghosts would still scare the living shit out of me and since I am in a "fantasy" world, knowing that ghosts exist would honestly not surprise me.
As I walked down the hallway, I started to hear noises of people talking. I got surprised and started to walk towards the door that the noises were coming from. The door was slightly open and when I looked inside the crack, there were 4 men and 1 woman looking at a map of some sorts and started to discuss something. I started to concentrate to hear their conversation.
"It's got to be today," The biggest man that looked like he was the leader said.
"Why?" One of the 3 men asked
"They are onto us. We're not going to make it if we prolong this any further,"
"What?! How did we get found out. Rat told us that we were still good for like another month to work our plans!" The woman screamed.
"I don't know. I think someone got captured. Bosnig went missing so I presume it's him. Anyways, we don't have time to rescue him. Leave him to die and we are going right now to kidnap either Lyka Wintercolt or Serena Wintercolt. Otherwise, if we come back barehanded, we are going to die by Boss,"

"Shit, are you sure that the military is onto us Ryze?" The woman asked
"Janna, don't underestimate my skills. When I was walking around town yesterday, I saw at the corner of my eyes, 2 soldiers looking at me with a bit of killing intent coming out of them. I thought that the soldiers came for the mysterious slave traders that were rumored to be in this town, but it is extremely likely that they are here for us. It could all be part of my imagination, but most likely, they are suspicious of me and my identity have been a secret except to everyone in the organization. So either we wait and risk it, or we kidnap them right now while no one is suspecting us," The man named Ryze said with a serious voice.
"Fuck, ok, but we have to do this thoroughly,"
"Of fucking course, this is a noble kidnapping. If we fail, we're going to be executed for sure," One of the 3 men said with disdain.
As I was hearing more and more into their conversation, I turned more and more serious. I quickly looked at their stats and was extremely shocked.

His various crimes all add up to make him a red level criminal, the second highest level of criminals out of 5 levels: Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Black. However, even though he is a psychopath, he is extremely shrewd which assisted him in killing many of his victims that were more powerful than he was
'Goodness, all of these stories are just too complicated. One is an orphan, one is a spy, one is a defector that hates his own birthplace, and one is a killer. What a shit show this is,' I thought as I read through their stories.
As I was thinking about what to do since their levels were pretty high as well, the man named Viktor started to speak in a raspy voice.
"The boss said to kidnap that noble within 2 months. If the soldiers are already onto us, they are probably going to raid us either later today or tomorrow depending on how fast they can get Bosnig to start talking about everything. The only good part is that if he even thinks about talking about the organization, he will explode,"
"Alright," Ryze said. "We will leave in about 5 minutes. Rest up and we will act immediately,"
The 4 sat down in the room all looking like they were brooding over different matters. I looked out of the crack from the door and immediately hid waiting to tail them after they left.
After 5 minutes, the door was completely opened and I saw the 4 leaving the house after using Conceal Presence. I immediately tailed them while using Conceal Presence like they did and the chase began.

With a desire to use magic, Carter begins learning it, soon setting off to enter the nearby Dungeon to complete a Quest. There, Carter meets Lucas, a wounded young man with an interest in alchemy. Together, they train to conquer the Dungeon they're trapped inside, developing a deep bond of friendship and more. When they finally manage to leave the Dungeon, the world is a changed place. Most of the population has died and survivors have banded together to form new settlements and societies. Carter and Lucas settle in to the new ways of the world, becoming adventurers like many others to protect their home and hunt what's needed. Occasionally, they even find time to go on an adventure of their own or just sit back and relax for a little while. There will be: wolfboys, catboys, fairy boys, and more, and there might even a harem of them. I haven't decided for sure if there's a harem yet or not, but I've put the tag on because it's not outside of the realm of possibility. There is also a Level reset mechanic that will come into play. This is not an OP powerfantasy. While the MC will grow strong, he won't become ridiculously powerful for an adventurer and will meet others at or above his own level of might from time to time. There will be times he struggles, fails, or needs to retreat. There is no posting schedule. Chapters will go up when I post them.
