*Huff Huff*
Alright alright, I have calmed down now, Nothing is lost yet I still have an Overpowered Truck as a summon, for now, I have to find out more about this world.
Since I came to this world I have been doing nothing but staring at the Status Screen the whole time, Let's start exploring and try to increase our levels.
"Alright Truck, let's start exploring. Follow me"
I started walking but for some reason, the Truck was not following me
"Why are you not following me?"
"I don't have something like auto-drive skill so you have to manually drive me"
"I see, then let's drive manually, for now. First, we need to find something kind of Town or a village before night"
Then I got into the driver seat and some tall grass caught my eye, from all my experience playing games I know that wild monsters like to hide in tall grass and will attack people who don't have their own monsters, so let's just drive through it. I started the engine.
*Vroom Vroom*
And stepped on the accelerator pedal and drive straight through the tall grass.
*You Have gained 10XP for killing a Slime*
*You Have gained 15XP for killing a Giant Rat*
*You Have gained 10XP for killing a Slime*
*You Have gained 30XP for killing a Poison Slime*
*You Have gained 25XP for killing a Small Bird*
*You Have gained 20XP for killing a Small Monkey*
*Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 2*
*You have Gained 100 P.O.W.E.R Points*
…..
*Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 5*
*You have Gained 100 P.O.W.E.R Points*
"Hahaha… This is how you level up easily, why doesn't anyone do this kind of thing in the games I used to play?"
*Crash*
Ahaa… oh no! I got too excited and crashed into a tree.
"Truck! Are you okay?" I screamed at Truck out of fear.
*sighs*
Truck sighed and said, "I am fine these kinds of things can't even damage me anymore, moreover keep your eyes in front of you when driving"
Uhh… It clearly was my fault, I got excited and crashed into the Truck. I should at least apologize.
"Uhh… I am sorry, I will make sure not to make the same mistake again"
"Hmm… well as long as you understand, that's fine with me, wait my mana sense is tingling"
"What, what the hell does that even mean?"
"It means, I have found some signs of intelligent lifeform"
"Wait, really does that mean there's a town nearby?"
"I am not sure, for now, I can only sense around five people, let's go check it out"
I did as Truck instructed and found a young boy standing under a tree, I slowly approached him with Truck so as not to scare him and started a conversation.
"Hey kid, can you please tell me where the nearby town is?"
He looked at me and Trucks and opened his mouth and said.
"You have your own SumMon as well? And our eyes met, do you know what that means, It's time for combat"
What? What kind of messed up logic is that?
*Young boy Joey wants to have a combat*
Wha-what the hell is this, suddenly the Status Screen popped up and showed me these weird words.
He took some kind of ball from his pocket and held it in his hands and it started to give a faint glow.
"Go, Giant Rat"
Suddenly a Giant Rat appear from the ball, he talked that big, and all he sent was a shitty Rat?
"Go, Giant Rat use your head"
"Rat Rat"
It made some weird noise and literally used its head and headbutted Truck and bounced off.
*It was not very effective, Big Rat now has a mild concussion*
Again what's up with these weird texts?
*sighs*
I sighed and said, "Truck use Acceleration"
"Truck Truc-wait! What the hell am I saying?"
The truck Accelerated and ran over the Giant Rat.
*Giant Rat was brutally murdered, It became one with the ground, You won. You have gained 20XP*
"Nooooo, Rattttt"
I got out of the Truck and walked towards the boy and said, "Alright you brat, I won, do you know what that means?"
He turned his head toward me, his expression a mix of confusion and fear, and stammered, "Wha-What does it mean?"
"Give me all your Money"
"Bu-but I don't have any money"
"We'll see about that"
*Crack crack*
I cracked my fingers.
*Young boy Joey blacked out you got 20 coins*
"I knew it, he was lying that brat"
Now that I look closer at the ball he used to summon the Rat, it's not a ball, it's some kind of Crystal or Glass orb.
I turned towards Truck he was looking at me weirdly even though he had no eyes.
"Wha-what?"
"What do you mean, 'what'? You killed his Rat, beat him up, and stole his money. You didn't even ask him about the nearby town. You could have waited until he told you about the town and then beat him up."
"Sorry, sorry. I got excited. Wait, are you saying that it would have been fine for me to beat him up and steal his money after we got the information?"
…..
…..
After a short silence, Truck finally started talking.
"We-well we do need the experience and money so…"
We looked at each other in awkward silence. This bastard, I thought I was the only corrupted one, looks like he's not that different from me. The dark side is stronger in this one.
"Any-anyway let's get going, I still sense four more people", Truck managed to say, breaking the awkward silence.
I got on the Truck and started driving toward the second person, this time it was a woman in her early twenties. I approached her and started a conversation.
"Excuse me, young lady, can you please tell me the direction for the nearby town?" I spoke to her as politely as possible.
She saw us and said, "You have your own SumMon? It's time for combat"
*sighs*
I sighed and said, "Acceleration"
…..
"Nooooo, my small bird"
It went exactly like the last time I got out of the Trunk and walked towards her, she saw me walking towards her and started taking a few steps back with a horrific expression on her face.
"So young lady, do you know where I can find the nearby town?"
"I-if you go 15 KM north, you will find a small town"
"I see! Thank you, now give me all your money"
"Bu-but I don't have any money"
*sighs*
I sighed and cracked my fingers
*Crack crack*
"What-what are you planning to do? You can't do anything to me, I am just a defenseless young woman."
"I am someone who believes in true gender equality."
…..
*Young women blacked out you got 300 coins*
"Wow, she's got a lot more money than the brat, now we know where to go let go to the town"
Suddenly Truck said something, "I could sense three other people from the direction towards the town"
"I see, then let's try not to start a problem with everyone but if they want to fight I won't back down"
But the reality was often disappointing. They all wanted to pick a fight with me.
*Acceleration*
*Acceleration*
*Acceleration*
Three accelerations later, this is the last guy. He was a middle-aged man.
"Nooooo, my small Monkey"
*sighs*
I sighed and asked Truck, "Tell me Truck, am I the messed up one or is it the people I met so far?"
"Well to be honest both of you are messed up"
I can't deny the fact, what he said was true. Anyway, it's time to reap the reward.
"Alright old man, give me all your money"
"Bu-but the only money I have is for my retirement"
"It doesn't matter", I cracked my fingers once more.
"What-what are you planning to do? You can't do anything to me. I am just a fragile old man."
"My fists are rated E for everyone."
*Middle-aged man blacked out you got 6592 coins*
"Wow, he got way more money than I thought"
"Maybe it's because you stole his whole retirement fund"
I'll just ignore what he said, Awesome! Now I have a total of 7692 coins. I don't know how the money system works in this world but I think I have more than enough for a few days!
"Truck, so how long until we reach the town?"
"According to the information we still have to go around 12 KM"
"12 KM! We still have that much to cover?"
"Maybe it's because you keep getting into fights with everyone instead of actually traveling"
I ignored him again and got into the Truck and started driving. After riding around 3 KM we ran into a problem.
There were two different paths, Hmm… what to do?
Then, I saw a middle-aged guy with huge bulging muscles wearing a big backpack twice my size walking near us, so I called out to him.
"Excuse me, sir, can you tell us which way to go in order for us to reach the town?"
He saw Truck and was kind of startled for a minute before he opened his mouth.
"Both paths take you to the town, the left path is a commercial road commonly used by normal people and merchants, and the right path is filled with different types of low-level monsters, new adventurers and new SumMoners use this path to train themselves"
I was shocked, he was the first normal person I have met since I came to this world, who doesn't try to pick a fight with me.
"Sir, are you also going to the town? If so, why don't you join me?"
"Thank you for your offer, but I have to stop somewhere else before going to town. If you happen to go to the town stop by my Smithy shop, and I will give you a discount. It's called Firebrand Smithy and I am Owen Firebrand"
"I see, it's a pity but I will make sure to stop by your Smithy when I got to the town and I am looking forward to the discount"
"Hahaha… very well then, have a nice day"
"Thank you, sir, you have a good day as well"
After parting from him, we arrived at the split road.
"So, which way should we go?"
Truck asked me curiously.
"You already know the answer"
I took the right path and started another massacre.
*You Have gained 30XP for killing a Big Bug*
*You Have gained 50XP for killing a Fire Chicken*
*You Have gained 40XP for killing a Toxic Frog*
*Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 6*
*You have Gained 100 P.O.W.E.R Points*
…..
*Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 8*
*You have Gained 100 P.O.W.E.R Points*
"Finally, I can see the town"
The sun was starting to set, and I finally managed to reach the town.
"Alright Truck, let's go"
Suddenly a red screen entered my field of vision displaying the text,
The Truck has run out of Fuel
Fuel: 0%
The Truck will be forcibly unsummoned.
Suddenly Truck vanished, turning into smoke and I fell down.
"Truck! Where are you? What happened? Truckkkkk"
