《Getting a Common Game Ability on Normal Life [Revised]》1.15 Rain Is Falling
Advertisement
"That boy, he has two siblings, one is 15, Kamiya Ume, a G-rank Adventurers, one is Kamiya Yuzu, 5 years old, his parents were murdered 4 years ago, seems like his relatives avoided the responsibilities for taking care of him, right now, only on paper his legal guardian is his aunt, and captain, do you remember the case where Riku used her [Ability] and attacked a civilian 4 years ago? the same civilian was the one that killed his parents."
"...I see, what a crazy coincidence, anything else?"
"He has a criminal record for stealing. And, this isn't important, but today I trained with him and the other girl if i must say, this boy is weak, he is only good at improvisation, that's all."
"Ho~, alright Akechi, from now on I want you to give me the report of their progress."
"....Sir, it's not like I'm questioning your judgment, but he is a big disappointment."
"Gahaha." a noise that came from Tsukiyama's mouth filled the room. He ignored Akechi and shifted into the next matter.
"Yes, sir! lately, there is another Deinosuchus discovered in France and Mexico, though they are varied in size, the feature and characteristic is the same one. This is only a hypothesis, but we from R&D believed this creature is man made."
"Seems like we will busy again."
**
Against the dark night sky, all I could see was a crumbling wall, The wind sneaked through its gap, bringing with it the crying of children. I opened the door and welcomed by nothing but a darkness. A girl curling at the corner while a baby laying down on a floor. Slowly, I reached to the curled girl that looked like a ghost that readied to make croaking sound (If a robber broke in, I bet he'll be scared to death.)
"...Hey, Ume, Happy birthday." I put the cake right in front of her and grabbed the baby, (...What do you want? *sigh* your diaper is clean, and you don't want to drink your milk.)

The girl responded to my voice, raised her head and showed nothing but disappointment when she saw the cake.
A cupcake, with one colorful rainbow candle, with a fire that weakly danced on top of it.
"Not hungry."
*sigh* "C'mon, just eat it a little bit, you barely eat anything." Said me, while I tried to figure out what was Yuzu wanted.
"I said I'm not hungry!!" A yell suddenly burst out from her, she stood up and looking at me and Yuzu.
".......What happens to your face?" Said Ume, though it was dark, seemed like both of our eyes already got used to the darkness.
"Oh?... I hit a wall." Yeah, I hit a power pole while I was running after stealing the cake, *sigh* I wondered why my face was the only thing that became blue.
"............... [Daily Spin]" Ah... I felt a lightning jolted inside my body when she used that 'thing'.
The thing that came out was a music box, the type with a mirror and a clown doll that will come out when it was being played. "...Sell it" she said.
She walked next to me bringing the cupcake, split it in half and vaguely, I can see her face was bluer than mine. ".....Here, eat it." and gave me the other half of her cake.
****
"......" I got up and looked at my face, the bruise that had covered my face in a blue stain faded as the hue of my skins returned.
I prepared the breakfast by toasted 6 pieces of bread, as a side dish I made three sunny side eggs and sausage. Though contrary to the sunny side, the weather was a perfect description of gloomy, each time I cracked the egg, the cloud turned darker.
*SREG*
A sound of the sliding paper door can be heard, a child, still wore her animal-themed pajama, wobbling around with her half-closed eyes, she sniffed through the air, her nose pulsating every time she walked closer to the kitchen.

"*sniff* ...Nii-chan something is burning."
"Ah!!" While watching her, I forgot that I was frying an egg, a black smoke slowly filled the kitchen, by the time I removed the egg its color had changed into coal.
Well, the breakfast today wasn't that bad, except for this one egg. *sigh* I guess I'll be the one that ate it.
"Morn..." Ume yawned as soon as she entered the kitchen, her mouth gaped widely. She had a slightly pink-eyed look and slouched shoulder.
"[Daily Spin]" A roulette appeared at the front of her faces, it slowly rotated and once everything was over, the prize we got for today was 10 pieces of darts with an elastic rope.
"What is that!?" Said Yuzu with her sparkling eyes.
"Dunno, hey, you want it? I sell it for 1000 yen each."
"I need to buy it!?"
"Well, duh, I need some pocket money, by the way, are you going to school?"
"Didn't I just gave you!? *sigh* yes, some kind of mission about escorting VIP or something like that."
(Yeah, this sucks ass, what kind of VIP needed to go into a high school?)
"Anyway, since you're taking a day off, why don't you take Yuzu to 'Fu King', and don't forget about the Radiz?
She was slightly annoyed but still doing it, anyhow by the time I arrived at the school, rain poured down from the sky. A golden dot, written with Aguni Kyotaro ran just in time to get into the school entrance.
Drenched in water, slouched shoulder and an eye-bag. "What happened?" I can't help but ask.
"Crazy instructor, *sigh*" No wonder Ume also looked very tired.
nonchalantly I walked to my class, heck, none of my friends came to the school today, the rain became louder and louder mimicking the sound of broken TV.
The teacher taught us half-heartedly, well can't blame him, even I didn't wanna come to the school today, looks like this will become a storm.
"Right, we have a new student today." Said the teacher, he walked out until I can't see him on my [Mini Map] soon, he entered [Mini Map] radius with another Golden dot. (Ah, must be the VIP)
Both of them walked in, what I saw really captivated my eyes, words left me. Everything was slow and warbled as she came in through the door, my mind was blank and my eyes wide as I stared into her burning red eye, starkly contrasting black eye patch compared to her ivory colored hair. Shiny and pale deep scar of claw exposed at her right cheek,
(Should I thank her? What should I do? Should I say sorry? Is she the VIP? How's she got that scar?) though, the thing that my brain formulate for me was. "AAAAH!!! YOU'RE THAT GIRL!!"
The girl didn't even say her name and yet I stood up, yelled like that while pointing my finger at her, if there was a mirror right in front of me, I bet my eyes were sparkling like a star.
"Sorry, do I know you?" Even though the rain was hard, I can clearly hear her, Her voice was different from what I remembered, it was raspy.
"Ah, sorry."
"Huh, what a weirdo, ah right, my name is Akamine Riku."
She sat at the most back seat near the window, and the class begun as usual.
Though, the rain sure falling hard eh, even though there were no thunder or wind... the only thing that existed was a Green dot.
Huh?
Its number rapidly increased, I rushed to the window, ignoring the teacher and the student on my path.
6...10...20....40.... huh? the Green dots were that many, but where were they?
"Kamiya, is something matter?" Said the teacher.
".....80...86, but where?" I kept mumbling, ignoring her words, until vaguely I saw something at the ground.
A puddle, that slowly shaped itself into a woman. The other puddles slowly followed these phenomena.

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.
