Agent of the king

when I woke up I was in a bed...

"huh?"

"where am i?"

I whispered to my self. while getting up. feeling the soreness in my hands and neck I remembered what happened.

"who was that?"

after getting up and finding my torn clothes next to the bed I looked around the room. the ceiling was slightly curved, giving the impression that this is a tent. there was another bed made of leaves and a makeshift desk, giving the feel that a wannabe Druid was living here.

"who made this? and who saved me? I know I was hallucinating."

thinking that i left the tent-room. when I stepped outside I looked at the entrance. it was a tent, and a really well made one. looking at the sky told me that I had slept for at least a few hours.

"so you are finally awake... good."

"who said that?!"

"I did..."

I looked up to find a fox monster sitting in the tree speaking the human language. it was the first time seeing a monster speak so fluently.

"Eh...?"

"don't scream. please, it's annoying."

after that statement he(?) jumped down in front of me. his fur was dark gray and Black in some places. he had long dark red and black hair growing from the back of his head with the biggest magic stone I have ever seen weaved into it.

"w-why shouldn't i-i?"

"because I'm the one who saved you..."

this monster saved me? I've never heard of this happening before. a friendly monster? I have to appraise him.

age: 976

name: rai

race: dark illusion fox (zoroark)

lv: ♤•¥£0,000

hp: appraisal unavailable

mp: appraisal unavailable

skills: appraisal unavailable

titles: 《iosg_>`•♡♧l》《guardian of the forest》《friend of humans》《friend of monsters》

alignment: neutral

I know my appraisal skill is not that high but I can't even his level? what level is he than?

"you just tried to appraise me didn't you?"

busted

"...no..."

"don't lie"

"ok yes... by the way what is a zoroark?"

"it's what I am."

that doesn't help at all! does he even know what he is?

-------------------

"let's stop this stupid conversation. and could you tell me where the nearest town is?"

to change the subject I asked where the town is. I know she will reject so I've already prepared an awnser for why I want to go.

"why should I tell a monster where a human town is? for you to tell the demon king where to go?"

I didn't expect the part with the demon king , but I did expect the rejection.

"I need to know where to go if I'm going to bring you there... there are a lot of powerful monsters here at night after all."

that's a lie. I have no idea if this forest has anything stronger than a goblin or if it has no monsters at all.

"well that's true the monsters are stronger at night..."

thank you relatively high luck stat!

"and you did save me from that C+ monster... but that means that your at least a B- monster..."

"wait... humans rank monsters?"

"you don't know... I thought you already know this your 976 years old after all."

"you are the... second human I've ever met..."

《skill acquired! 《liar lv. 1》!》

"Eh..."

after that complete lie she told me about the ranking system in this world in exchange for protection until the next town. so... the lowest rank is triple E- this is populated by slimes goblins and children under the age of 5 the next is EEE and that's the slightly stronger beings. the strongest entity in the world is a human at level 150,000 and he is the requirement to enter XS rank, and he is the strongest. I'm lv. 500M he's 150K I think I'm stronger than him. I'm not sure though, it's hard to tell.

"so which way?"

"well where are we?"

"the landmarks are a giant tree to the left of me, a water fall behind me, a giant cave to the right, and nothing in front."

"than we are in the great sentarea forest

and we need to go in the direction of the cave than go past it"

and with that I had lifted her into Mr arms and ran past the cave. not at full speed of course.

after an hour of running kayell fell asleep. even though she already slept for half a day, sar was holding on to my new chest tuft of fur. after seeing a little part of a wall and some guards patrolling I woke kayell up. with a relatively hard head shake

--------------------------------------

"wha-what happend?!"

"we are here you know... you can get off of my head now..."

"oh sorry"

apparently when he woke me up I jumped onto his head and grabbed his thin neck.

"rai? can I tell my friend about you?"

"I don't really care about that... just don't tell her where I made my camp please..."

"ok than. bye"

and with that I kissed him on the cheak when he didn't expect it injecting him with a paralyzing agent. when I got off him he was still in the state of paralysis, in the same kneeling position with his arms out. I better get the guards now.

-------

well that was unexpected. she kissed me on the cheek. I thought she was still too scared of me but her character changed too fast. the good thing is that with my skill 《main character recognition》 I can tell if she will be important later.

"hey what's that?!"

just than I heard a voice. it was a guard doing patrols in a mostly unpatroled area. he spotted me while I am still in shock from the kiss.

"hey guys over here I found one!!"

I still can't move. a quick check of my status and I found the problem

Condition: paralysis(large)

I have been duped by the first human I've met.

《title acquired betrayed》

than the realization came... she sold me out... but when the guards came it wore off. maybe being a zoroark comes with a slight paralysis resistance?

"what do we have here?"

"a paralyzed monster that's what."

I than shook my head and got up fast to greet the guards.

"he's still moven' paralyze it again!"

"like that will work."

my speech caught them off guard. I guess they didn't expect an intelligent monster.
