Chapter 6: World Destruction and New OP Status

Entering the world again, I met Kira while she was about to leave.

"Ah, there you are Rhythm. Where do you go anyways? Oh well, it's not like I really care. Oh yeah, I'm going with Uncle Jack to help the neighbors collapse some buildings, so the area will be dangerous. Be careful." Saying all of that, she left the house.

Now what should I do? I don't really have a goal in this game now that I think about it. Maybe I should be the strongest. Naw, I did that in other games and it wasn't as fun as I thought. But a lot of our worlds hidden supernatural concepts are here, so maybe I'll train my magic. This way, I can train my real life magic in a world with 2 times the time it takes on earth. Plus, I can practice on real targets, unlike real life.

Maybe I should try to learn a summoning skill. I think that my contracted spirits can enter, which will be a major help later on. All right, I'll try to get the summoning skill today. Oh yeah, what about the skills I got?

I got [Enchant] [Rune Mastery] and [Handicraft]. All of these are totally what I need for summoning. [Rune Mastery] to use runes to create the magic circle, [Enchant] to make the circle able to use mana (otherwise it's just a complicated circle with no use other than a decoration), and [Handicraft] to help me construct a circle (it's hard to draw a perfect circle, especially a big one).

I should probably do it somewhere without people. Who knows what they'll think when a pet slime suddenly summons demons in their home.

Leaving the village, I walk to the forest below and enter a clearing that seemed to fit my requirements. On the ground, I started to write using crushed tall grass mixed with some sort of black herb (which I identified as Ashwell Mimic) as a substitute for ink. After a few minutes, I constructed a simple circle that allowed me to summon a nearby monster. Without the skill, this is the best I can do for now.

Pouring mana into it, it started to glow bright until it slowly dimmed, leaving a confused wolf. Killing it, I received a few notifications.

----------

Hey Big Brother, I see that you came back.

Anyway, from your actions just now, you received the following skills:

[Magic Circle Knowledge] Lv: 1

[Summoning] Lv: 1

and you also got a few levels in [Enchant] [Rune Mastery] and [Handicraft]

----------

Thanks Navi. Now with the [Summoning] skill, I will be able to hopefully

bring all of my friends from my world over.

----------

I can't wait to meet them!

----------

Yeah, now lets…

…

…

…

...hey Navi.

----------

Yes Big Brother?

----------

Are you sure you read all of the notifications to me.

----------

Wait, let me check. Oh my, it seems that I forgot one. Tee hee.

----------

Please, my dear little sister and navi pixie, tell me what does it say.

----------

Alright. Erm, something like, "For becoming the first player to acquire the [Summoning] skill,

you will have a higher chance to be summoned. Thus, you have been granted the title

[Summonable]." Nothing really important. Why do you ask?

----------

Then do you happen to know why there is a huge magic circle right under me right now.

----------

Um, a new notification says something about a world called "Lorfly" is

attempting to summon you. By the way, you can't refuse.

----------

GOD DAMMIT!!! And thus, I was sent to another world.

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

When I opened my eyes again, I was in some sort of extravagant room with a bunch of people with robes nearby. Farther at the back of the room was an old man sitting on a throne. I won't go into much details as it won't matter in a few seconds (although I didn't know what happened at that moment).

"Welcome Hero. We have called you here beca- BLEARGH." As the king suddenly threw up blood, the surrounding mages also started throwing up. With my senses in mana, I was able to tell that all of the surrounding mana was coming at me.

With all of the mana nearby entering my body, I felt an unimaginable amount of pain. Luckily it wasn't my real body, but where's the pain filter! For several minutes, I endured that torture until I blacked out.

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

Waking up, I found myself in my virtual room. As I haven't logged out, that means I died.

"Wow, that was intense."

"Huh? Navi! What are you doing here." She was currently in my virtual room in her astral form. My virtual room has recently been changed to seem more homely, which included a couch and a couple of recliners.

"You created me to be downloaded into you system, so obviously I can enter your virtual room."

"Oh wow, so wait, can you tell me what happened?"

"Of course, apparently you were summoned to a small planet called [Lorfly] that's just a bit bigger than your world's moon. It has a population about the same amount of Russia, so on a tiny planet they fought over resources. As one of the countries [Zectral] started to be pressured by the neighboring countries, they attempted creating a summoning circle to call a hero."

"So how did I die?"

"Hold on, I'm getting to that. So this circle was never attempted before and the created thought that summoning a being would require a large amount of mana. They eventually created a circle that would continuously provide the summoned hero with mana."

"So what you're saying is that they made a mistake and accidentally poured too much mana into me, causing me to die."

"Not just that, but the mana accumulated was the whole world's amount of mana. As mana ran out, their life energy was burnt to composite."

Silence persisted the air, until I asked, "So what happened to them?"

"The planet died. Even though you died fairly quickly, as your body was technically a game character and not really dead, the mana continued to pour into you without stopping. All life on the planet turned to mana and was transferred to you. From the several thousand notifications I got, there was one that granted you the title [Summoned Apocalypse]."

"Hah, well I kinda guessed something like that happened. Although logically I know it isn't my fault as they initiated the summoning, I still feel guilty that I was partially part of a world's destruction."

"So what now? You have a penalty of minus 1 level and minus one skill level in 10 random skills. Do you wish to see your status?"

"I can do that in the virtual room! Yes please."

"I made it so that you would go to your base form to customize."

"Thanks Navi, but I have one question. How did I become level 99?"

"Since you indirectly killed a planet, the system recognized the kill and gave you 1 xp for every lifeform annihilated. As the human population was around half of Russia and there was so many wild monsters and life forms, you received quite a bit of xp."

"That's the last thing I need. I already stand out with a new race and a relatively high level for my race. The last thing I need is evidence to prove I'm an Immortal."

"So how do you want to distribute your points?"

"Considering how I'm going to be a mage-build character, might as well forget STR and AGI. I need some VIT to survive a few hits, and DEX for drawing magic circles as well as some LUC for CRIT Damage. Obviously I need INT, so how about this. For every 10 points: 2 VIT, 2 DEX, 4 INT, and 2 LUC."

"Distributing now, okay done. Here's your status."

Wow, so that's why I got so strong easily. With HP and MP Recov always boosted, that means even if I change forms to creatures with low HP and MP Recov, this skill will cover that weakness. But is there another rank after seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, nanoseconds, etc.

"Okay, since I can't enter the game, I'll just leave. Is that okay with you Navi."

"Yeah it's okay. In fact, this is a perfect time to check how much data I can absorb from the internet. Watch out world, tremble before me for I shall steal all the knowledge in the world. WH-HA-HAH-HA!!!"

Leaving my slightly crazed pixie, I exit the VR Machine and find out that I was only in there for a few minutes. Now what do I do? I guess I should go get the groceries like I planned.

Leaving the house, I saw a few police cars drive by. It seems that the incident from a while ago has been settled as the cars were going away from the warehouse.

*RING* *RING*

My smartphone started to ring, but considering that the only ones who would call me are either the organization, the orphanage, or the girl from earlier, I had no idea what it could be about.

Taking out the phone, I saw an unknown number. Picking it up, I heard a girl's voice. “Um, is this the right number? Remember from earlier, I called to ask for a request.”

Wow, she called pretty quickly. "Okay, do you want to talk on the phone, or do you want to meet up."

"The police are asking questions from me, but I had time to make a phone call. I have to go back soon, so meet me at **** Carter Song Av."

"Okay, see you later." Hanging up, I just realized that I didn't disguise my voice. Well I didn't disguise it back then either, but this may be a problem for the future. Better avoid her in school.

Going to the local market, I spent the next hour shopping for supplies. Then I spent the next 30 minutes going to several places unknown to those not from the hidden world. I won't say what I did there, but my time there involved a few broken bones, some Recovery Potions, and digging a hole.

Going to the address, I marveled at the neighborhood. Carter Song Av. was one of those upper-class streets. Everywhere I looked, I saw three story houses and clean lawns with barely any problems. Honestly with the money I have, I could've lived here, but I hate the fact that I have to involve myself with the so called "modern nobles."

The adress the girl gave me led to one of the slightly smaller houses on the street. Although it was one of the small ones, it was still twice the size of my house, the garage that is.

Seeing some guards blocking the gate, I just waited until the family comes home. Around ten minutes later, I saw a police car drop off the family. Wearing my cloak, I start to follow them inside with no one noticing me.

"Oh Boss, she already called you! What do you think she wants?"

"Dunno, but let's talk to her when she's alone."

Bidding herself from her parents, the girl and her little sister left for upstairs. Seeing her sister into her room, the girl went to her own room, with me following after her.

Entering inside, the room was a bright pink with a neat room and the occasional plushie. Jumping on the bed, the girl sighed.

"Tough day?"

Whirling her head towards my direction, I see her have a shocked expression before calming down. "Yeah, I had to answer a bunch of dumb questions from the police."

"If it makes you feel better, they do it to help you."

"I say they're dumb because they keep asking what happened. I think you had something to do with it, so I'm blaming you."

I winced at what she said. Technically if they were a bit more honest, they might've been sent to an asylum.

"Sorry, but I don't want the knowledge of our existence to be public."

"Then why did you help us?"

"I was walking when a kid was kidnapped, and I was bored. This and that happened and I saw how people were mocking my servant."

"So you're not Satan, but you're Satan's master."

"Not just Satan, but yeah. So why did you call me?"

"I need you to kill me."

"Oh, okay. So how tolerant are you to pain?"

"W-Wait, that came out wrong. What I mean is that I need you to fake my death."

"Hmm, can you explain why?"

Then she started explaining why she wanted to fake her death. Long story short, she realized how her parents planned to marry her off to some fat rich guy who annoyed her so bad. She had no qualms with faking her death as her parents are real bitches who trample on those lower than them. In the past, they used to beat her until her sister came along. She also wants to take her sister with her and live away from her parents.

"I know it sounds unreasonable, but can you plea-"

"Sure, why not. Okay, just sign this contract." Giving her a scroll I made for occasions like this, she started to read the "WARNING" message.

WARNING! You are about to make a deal with the devil. Beware of the consequences you may cause by signing this contract. Please note that any deal made with this contract will be absolute. If the deal is cancelled by the customer, the customer will pay a fine appropriate to both parties. If the contracted fails to complete the mission, he will pay back the customer with an appropriate service.

Both of us signed the contract. With this, we have a deal.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Luna Anderson. Glad to be working with you."

"This is a one time business relationship, but you can call me Vocal."

With that, that was the start of how I met one of my trusted partners.
