I intend to put on a little show for our dear orcs by taking one slow step at a time.
"Shinji, what are you doing? Why are you walking like a snail?"
"Oh, come on. You have ruined the whole mood."
"What mood are you talking about? You are just walking like a snail that has not eaten in years."
"That's just it. I am trying to make everything flashy."
"Ridiculous. Hurry up and get out of here. We do not have all day for your nonsense!"
"Uh. Fine."
There are two orcs on standby at the moment. None of them have noticed us yet, because they did not know about our presence. I can not help but smile.
"Hey, fools!"
I do not know why I am acting like this, but is not it more exciting this way?
The two orcs turn around to see the person who will end their lives.
"...?"
Finally, they saw us. Exactly what I had expected. The two of them rushed towards us to knock us down. Those orcs did not hesitate to swing their axes as soon as they got close to us. I can feel the heaviness of their blows in the air, it was as if they were creating a psithurism. Gentle, but irritating to hear. Fortunately, my ability was not so disappointing that I could just effortlessly dodge these massive attacks. However, I did not realize until now that they were just focused on attacking me instead.
"Fool!" I started laughing maniacally, "Try harder! Come on, I am not even sweating! Ahaha!" Laughing confidently, they could not even catch up to me because of my speed. "Slow! Too slow! Is that it?" I can not help but make fun of them.
As time went on, they got more and more irritated. Yet they could not even hit that cheetah! After some time, the two of them got tired. They began to gasp and let go of the hatchets in their grip.
"Oh, tired already?"
"...!" they lifted their pitiful faces for me. "If you two are done, does that mean it's my turn?"
Then the two of them started swinging their axes constantly to hit me. But to no avail. My incredible speed was incomparable
And I say that because at one point I saw Ruby staring at me so intently that she did not notice a huge rock flying towards her.
So I had to use two of my abilities {re-create} and {silent death}. With the latter, I shoot a small beam of light, but it can only be cast when I am using weapons.
Now you will probably think, why should I have such an ability when there are no modern weapons in a medieval game.
And here comes my first skill {re-create}. With this skill, I can reshape the atoms of an object.
Normally, you can only change the molecular structure of small objects and reshape them into something of the same size.
But that does not apply to me. I have already fully utilized this ability. So I am able to create anything I want without limitations. (And that is my strongest ability at the moment).
So I reshaped my dagger into a desert eagle, applied {Silent Death}, and shot the boulder.
Needless to say, the boulder was completely destroyed.
I turned my weapon into a dagger and focused on my battle again. I can not really say it was a fight, because I was just testing my skills with these two orcs.
"Ok, that's enough for now. I am starting to get bored. Time to finish them off."
The moment one of them missed his punch, I jumped on his club and ran up. From there, I jumped into the air and hit the orc in the head with my fist, crushing his skull.
At that moment, the other one swung his club at me as I finished with the first orc. I had to use my dagger to block his attack. Something that startled the orc.
I ripped off his left arm and the orc cried out in pain. But I did not waste a second. I also slashed his right arm and attacked the head.
I pierced his skull and when my dagger was in his flesh, I jumped down with the dagger in my hand, splitting the orc's head in two.
"Ha, that was great."
"Hey Shinji, stop being so absent-minded and come here."
"Huh? Who's talking?" said I, looking around.
"It's me, Ruby, you idiot. I am talking to you through my telepathic ability."
"Then why do you want me to come back?"
"Are you retarded or something? How long do you want to stay there? There is someone who wants to meet you."
"Just as you wish, your majesty." I thought
"Stop fooling around and come here. I can still hear you."
"Yes, yes, I am coming."
When I arrived, I saw a tall man with brown hair and green eyes standing next to Ruby.
"Okay, I am back. Who wants to meet me?"
"It's this man here."
The man took his right hand out of his pocket to shake my hand and then introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is William and I am the guild master. Nice to meet you, Shinji."
"Nice to meet you too."
"So, I'll get right to the point. I have seen you fight with the two orcs, and I must say I am impressed with your skills. Your movements do not seem at all like those of a class C adventurer."
"Ah yes, I have been training and raising my spiritual level for the past few days."
"What level are you at now?"
"I am at class -A."
"Oh God, you must have trained hard these days to rise so quickly."
"Y-yes hehe. It was tiring as hell."
This time I saw Ruby looking at me with a criticizing look. I had forgotten she could read my mind.
"So, um, what can I do for you, sir?"
"Well, I want you to become an exclusive member of the Adventure Guild."
"And what can I get out of it?"
"You can choose the missions you want to accept, you can enlist the help of the Adventurer's Guild when you are in danger, and you can move freely around the other cities."
"This is too good. Hmmm. What will you get out of it?"
"If an adventurer is in danger or needs help, you should always help them."
"Hmm. If that's the only consideration, I'll accept your offer."
"Perfect, I will go and prepare your ID. Excuse me."
As he moved further away, Ruby came up close to me.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes. What's your hurry?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Why? What happened?"
"Look at the clock."
"Yes, it's 7:16. So what?"
"Oh my god, you are really stupid. Do not you remember that you promised Miko this morning that you two would go out at 8:00?"
[Flashback]
(Morning of the same day)
"Ouch. I am too tired. How does everyone manage to stay awake at this boring hour? I am just going to rest a bit."
I leaned my head on the desk and after two minutes I was ready to fall asleep.
But I did not succeed, because Miko came to me. I was so sleepy that I could not manage to lift my head, but I can imagine that everyone was looking at Miko and me. After all, she was the president of the student council and one of the most beautiful girls in my school. Everyone would wonder why such a girl came to talk to me. And to tell the truth, even I was still trying to understand what had happened.
"Hello, Shinji."
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Huh? What is it?"
"Would you please go out with me?" She said blushing.
"Ah, ok, I do not have anything planned yet."
"R-really? Can you go out at 8pm today then?"
"Yeah, no problem, I am free."
"That's good. Good, thenI'll see you at 8. Bye~"
"Bye ... Wait, what did I just agree on?"
[Current time]
"Aaah yes, yes. I have got it memorized."
"So get ready to go. You do not have enough time."
"Do I really have to go?"
"I swear to God, I am going to slap you until you pass out."
"Hoho, you can not."
"You forgot we are still in the game?"
"Oh yeah, crap."
"I have been waiting for this for a long time." said Ruby with a wicked smile, moving toward me.
"Wait, wait, do not get too close to me. I am going to go, I am going to go. I was kidding."
"Hehe, it's too late now."
"Stop, stop."
[Five minutes later.]
"Aah, that was refreshing."
"Not for me."
"We should do this again someday."
"No way."
"Okay, now get ready for your date."
"I am going, I am going. And it's not a date."
"We will see about that." She said with a grin.
After making the necessary preparations, I left my house and headed to my destination.
I arrived at our meeting place, which was located in the central square of the city.
After a while I saw Miko coming towards me and a little boy following her. He had purple hair and red eyes, just like Miko.
"Hello Shinji, I am sorry I am late."
"Do not worry about it. I arrived two minutes ago."
"Ah, let me introduce you. This is my twin brother Yuuki."
The boy stepped forward and put his right arm on my shoulder.
"Nice to meet you, I am Yuuki."
"Nice to meet you too, I am Shinji."
Then he started observing me carefully.
"Hmmm, orange hair, yellow left eye and blue right eye. Why are your eyes like that?"
"Um, I have heterochromia."
"Oh, I see, I see. So this is the guy you like, Miko?"
I turned my head and saw Miko, who was red all over her face.
"What are you talking about, brother? I never said anything like that."
"Huh? When we are at home, you keep talking about a guy named Shinji."
"Aaah, shut up, shut up." she said, slapping Yuuki gently.
"Hehe ok, ok, I'll stop teasing you."
"So Shinji, I think I have seen you somewhere before."
"He's the guy who solved the problem in our school." replied Miko.
"Oh, the tech guy. Good job, my brother. You saved us that day." He said and patted me on the shoulders.
"So, Shinji, what should we do?"
"I do not know. You are the one who asked me out. I'll leave everything up to you."
"Okay, should we go to this restaurant to eat and talk?"
"Yeah, good idea."
So we went to the restaurant, ordered food and started talking. I have to say that I had a great time with Miko and Yuuki. We had a lot of fun together. Except at the beginning when I was talking to Miko, because Yuuki was staring at me with a murderous look. But after a while he became normal again and we could talk nicely.
After a while, while we were talking, our phones rang at the same time. The three of us looked at our phones.
It was a message about an upcoming update for the game that would add underwater city ruins.
Miko and I looked at each other.
"Hehe, that was synchronized." She said
"Indeed. What was your message about?"
"Oh, it was about an upcoming update for a game me and my brother play."
"Same thing with me. Hmm. That's weird. (Could it be that we are playing the same game? No, I do not think she would play something like that)."
"What is your update about?"
"It's about exploring the underwater world."
"Wait, what's the name of your game?"
"It's called..."
That's when Yuuki interrupted us and said, "Oh, it looks like Power Scale Online is adding underwater ruins."
Both I and Miko said
""You also received the same message?""
We looked at each other in surprise.
""Huh? We are playing the same game?""
