Chereads / Ragnarok:Struggling To Survive / Chapter 11 - A Prideless Genius

Chapter 11 - A Prideless Genius

There could only be so few people that would've survived this foretold catastrophe by the greatest prophet. Either they're a bunch of try-hards where I am categorized, those few people that have some unbelievable luck. A person that has some experience with the ways of surviving the wilderness, or someone cautious, smart, and overall above average to summarize it a genius

"Heeeelp!!!" Encircled by a dozen or so monsters the individual got badly wounded, to the point where they lose a few of their limbs. The person's life was flashing before their eyes, with the last scenery of their life being the death that came in the form of monsters. It was hopeless to yell at the surrounding areas, the individual's body was far from being capable of moving after they lost their arms and legs in the hands of their oppressor

"Fear not since the mighty Kirigaya has finally arrived (Dude.. Why the fuck did I say that? It's so cringey... Keep your act together I need to save this person)," The individual was shocked after hearing a voice that answered its call for help, which gave it the strength to smile once more before its consciousness faded away. Upon Rei's arrival, he didn't waste a single second and unleashed the ability within his gear. Granting him a surge of increase in his speed, which he used to slam onto the monsters before he kills every last one of them in a single swing of his sword that passes through

"Are you alright...? Ghrrraaaaaah!!!!! Son of a fucking bitch!!! Are you fucking kidding me!!!? After all of this and im standing on top of a dying person...? Hold up what's this message all about?" He was given a message once he appraised the person lying on the ground

1 hour later

"Arrrgh!!!" The person was shocked after waking up to a place where its body was placed near a campfire

"whoa... calm down there's no monsters anymore, just calm the fuck down, (I didn't notice it but this guy has some awfully charming face)," Rei was startled after he was given a spook that came out of nowhere, he didnt say a single word. Once the person he saved was processing the changes in his body, having such a dumbfounded face he cried. Which made it such an awakward situation when he was eating his freshly cooked meat

"Hic, im alive? Hic, how is this even possible? I know it wasnt a dream, our camp was attacked. And my body got torn apart by the monster that broke through our defense, how...? How is it possible, please can you still do it? Please heal the others as well, I'll pay for everything and, and I I'll help you~" Sadly his bright and cheerful mood drastically changed for the worse. When Rei pointed at a certain part of their location which was a freshly dug out ground. Answering the individuals question whilst he continues to eat his food

"Why did you bury them do you know those people?" He distance himself away from Rei's location upon learning the fate of his allies

"I don't know them, at the very least I should pay my respect to their corpses. Burrying their remains is the only thing I could do for them so that no monsters will try eat their corpses. So ugh do you have a name their stranger?" He avoided calling his name which would've made Christ suspect him upon knowing his name. Instead he opened a path by asking for his name whilst he was enjoying to finally communicate with another person. After being all alone in this month where he tried his best to survive such a life threatening dilema

"I'm Christ Anderson thank you for saving me and you are?" Christ quickly replied to his answer after he uttered it second ago

"Your from america? It seems like there's another thing to worry about, randomized teleportation and what not. Well that's for another time to worry about, my name is Rei Kirigaya I'm just passing by this area and I came to help when i heard such a commotion occuring in this camp. I thought that I could find some capable allies to survive with, if your interested in joining my journey. Just tell me since I'll be leaving once I learn more about this area," The reason why these two people can communicate even with their different nationality because they both learned english by the time of the great prophets untimely death

All the nations had decided to teach all the citizens under their rule to learn only one language so that anyone could freely communicate with one another. In hopes of making each other cooperate without any kind of language barrier

'For such a good looking blondie over hear i thought he'd be more arrogant, to think his kind and considerate. Even though he just heard about the death of his comrades, it doesnt look like he was unnaffected. I guess his trying his hardest to forget his dead allies , since it'll only get in the way of his survival. Busted skills, good manners lastly he acts like a pushover, his the perfect ally through and through for an asshole like me to acquire,'

'If I remember traits are determined by a person's innate talent so an A-rank Craftsman must mean that he was a prodigy before this great change had happened... This is getting awkward were both staring at each other I need to get away quick,'

"Really!? You'll form a party with me?," He quickly reaches for Rei's hand which he was bewildered by what he was seeing

'Party? What's that? It sounds like that function thats always added to any kind of fantasy setting story. Hold on a moment i might be wrong, well i wouldnt know about it since ive been alone for a month,'

"A party? Can you tell me in detail I've been alone for a month I don't know anything that there is to know when it comes to these kinds of things,"

"Allow me to fully explain a party is an application of the "leveling system" that's what I'm calling it allows a bunch of people to share experiences from killing a monster while giving us access to the party members' skills but that requires them to have a relationship where they're not hostile towards each other also the party members can see each others level," Christ enthusiastically replied to his answer upon hearing his question

'So that means I can share my skills while on the other hand, I can also use his in return? Sadly, I I can't use his trait that's the greatest thing I found amusing that means... I can't let this guy go, so once he became strong I have to find a way for him to be loyal to me and only myself. God why the hell do I sound like a scheming yandere inside a video game,'

"It's a deal how are we supposed to be a party?" After hearing the information himself he didnt have a second thought and wanted for the two of them to become a party

"My hand... Shake my hand that's the trigger so that a party will commence as long as the two people want to work together the party function will activate,"

'Then let's get this over with it's not like I'm at a disadvantage,'

[Status: You've formed a party with the user: Christ]

[System: The user: Christ information will now be accessible]

[Status: You can now use the party members skills to a certain degree the mastery will go up once your relationship with your party member grows much stronger]

'I finally made my first ally I wonder what will be waiting for the two of us,'

"You're that LVL 10 user!!? That the system constantly notified all of us about?" Christ shouted upon learning his stats

"Isn't it a little more reassuring that you partied up with a strong person?" He replied before he giving him a piece of his rations

"It's a pleasure being at your party Rei. I'll promise that I won't become a dead weight for our survival. If you need anything that I can craft just ask me and I'll do it, since we're comrades and what not,"

'Hahaha, I gotta say this guys pretty funny on how he quickly tries to win me over once he saw my stats. To think that there's such a prideless genius that would even go so low to win someone over. Guess the worlds pretty vast and im only at the tip of the iceberg, I wonder what kind of adventure will the two of us would face in this area that's going deeper into the forest,'
