Plot armor.
An invisible hand that protects the main characters of any narrative work, but everyone knows that the invisible hand is the Author.
When the Author is no longer writing that invisible hand disappears and every character starts to create their own plot armor.
Everyone knows that fire burns and that playing with ice results in frostbite.
When you are in a place where you can get killed do everything you can to live.
There was this one time back in my last life when I was almost caught by this brat from the Namgung family.
When I was running away from him I stripped and rushed towards the public area.
...It is quite a shameless thing to do, but thanks to him trying to keep his family's dignity he let me keep my life.
If he did kill me then the next morning the rumors would go like, "The Namgung family has fallen down to the point of killing a crazy person."
He would have taken down his whole family's honor by just trying to kill a worthless someone from the Demonic Cult.
My point is, do whatever it takes to keep your life, even eat dirt if the chance arrives - you are only getting sick for a week, it is still better than losing your life, maybe it's because I did it in the past.
In this world I am weaker than a ten year old - people awaken their system at the age of nine.
My rank is Copper 1 meaning I just have a body mass of about 122 pounds if you put my body condition in place, meaning a chubby normal person can knock me out.
My potential is Copper 3 meaning I will only have a body mass of 500 pounds in the future, if I don't count some skills I might gain.
As a weaker person who can't even defend himself there are only two things to do when facing strong people.
Act extremely tough or extremely weak.
I kept my straight face as I looked at the third girl who had short pink hair with a thin attractive figure and a small innocent round face that would make you want to shield her from danger, together with pink cute eyes.
...She is a loli the opposite of a shota like me.
"Who are you?"
"An..ngela." She trembled while gripping her kitchen knife soul weapon, "Angela Pink!"
"I will remember you peasant." I could see Angela shrieking from fear and I shook my head, 'I think she is the only girl I wrote with a small frame.'
I moved my bloodshot eyes to the bald head boy holding a giant battle axe as a soul weapon.
He had a muscular physic that would crush my head with just a grip of his massive hands. A slightly tanned skin that reflected sunlight and a below average square shaped face.
...What kind of an idiot gets reborn into another world and decides to go bald?
"Who are you peasant?"
"Kelvin Driscoll!" His shout echoed through the whole road making my small fragile ears hurt a little.
...Another character whom I don't remember.
I looked at the short black haired dude who was holding a long sword and everything about him was average from his looks to his medium olive skin.
...I will forget him in an hour.
"Is your name Joe, peasant?"
"Yes!" His light brown eyes glared at me, "Joe Thomas!"
...I will remember him as the always average guy.
Now that I have dealt with the ones I didn't know, I moved my face towards the girl labelled 'goddess' holding a shining black Katana soul weapon.
"Sharlene where you trying to get the the 'Pharmacist Blood' when you lost that arm?"
Sharlene's eyes started shaking violently and the same could be said about the other four, after all only readers knew of it.
I took out a pocket knife and made a small cut on my wrist, it was painful, but I just keep a cool like like a man being beat by his wife.
I pulled over the hand of my jacket and showed everyone the wound healing.
Everyone had a shocked expression on their less prettier faces, compared to me, cough, cough.
Even baby Myron who was silent the whole time opened his mouth from shock.
I moved my eyes to my greatest enemy who was holding her revolver in the middle.
"I prefer killing you in person rather than in a world where I won't see you die for real," I turned my back towards the group, "Let us go Mr. Myrons we have to leave this group of useless peasants."
The baby nodded his big head and followed along in silence, 'When did this cry baby became so cunning?'
After walking for a few hours Myrons finally decided to open his mouth.
"So you plan to survive until there is no one left."
"Yes." I smiled and picked up the poor baby who had been walking for 169 miles without taking a break at all.
...The good thing about Chrono's farm VR is that it has no night time.
"Aren't you going to get tired?" Myron said and he didn't try to resist being carried.
"I am fine as frog hair. I am sure you can see that for yourself."
"You do know that you have been walking for a whole week without rest."
"What!?"
I know I have been walking for a long period of time, but to think it would be a whole week, that is just crazy.
"Just what–"
Myron's couldn't finish his words as a translucent light blue system windows signaled our victory.

===[Logging Out]===
...Again I am not Maryam.
"Haaa," Releasing a long breath, I took off my VR helmet and walked out of my VR room with a calm smile on my face.
Even though I took seven days in the VR it is only forty-nine minutes on the real world.
When I walked into the classroom all the eyes that glared at me screamed, 'You son of a bitch!'
I felt a slight pity for them in my heart, after all it is their first time being reborn.
After classes there are club activities, but since I don't have one, I am going to go home and wait for my cool system to arrive.
