Chapter 3 - Playing Chess With werebeasts

A chill ran through his spine. Doctor, why's he in B-Rank gacha? He should've been in at least S-Rank one.

It's not like doctor is very powerful. In fact, he's even weaker than an average human.

Doctor, also known as Ghost of Babel, is the best strategist in all over the anime verse. Even sora, no, even blank can't defeat him in a battle of strategy.

The world where he lived was called terra. There were many powerful species, chimeras, deities and even gods in that world. But the one who was feared the most was doctor. He was just a human, no magic, no strength, and certainly no special powers.

Many times he sacrificed his own soldiers to win. he is riku, but at the pinnacle of ability and charisma. Rio never played Arknights, he only saw the anime and read about him in comment sections, so he can't tell. Honestly, doctor would be perfect in this situation, he can win the great war without the need of riku and shuvi and without any single death. But whether doctor will do as they say is another matter. Doctor can't be controlled by anyone. If he would, he would've already died in terra.

If it was only riku he would've summoned him right away, but according to Rio's memories, he's very dangerous. Pre-Amnesia doctor was feared by everyone because for him, every person was no more than a chess piece, he is so unpredictable that you'd feel hopeless against him. And, if he got the suniaster, which of course he will, then he will become unstoppable. There were also many haunting facts about pre-amnesia doctor, which is why Riku decided to spin again no matter

[Congratulations. You won Igris the Bloodred from Solo Leveling.]

Amazing. Riku thought.

He clicked on take price icon and got an Igris card.

He shook the card and Igris appeared. 3 metres long, almost twice his height.

"Hmm, The last one was without any side effects. Did system tried to check my patience or something else?" Riku muttered

"Okay so how to unsummon you?" Riku asked.

Igris held riku's hand in which the card was and touched it with its head. He disappeared again.

"It's amazing, but in this world, even this Igris is nothing. I'll need much more than this."

He checked the next mission.

• Riku always liked playing chess, but stopped playing it because he thought it was worthless. So the next mission is~

[Play chess with one of the other races.]

Difficulty: C Rank

Time Limit: 1 Day

What? The time limit is only 1 day? Okay fine. Its going to be tough, but I'll complete it.

Riku took a chess board from his room. After that, he summoned Igris, got on its back and went outside.

"It's embarrassing, I hope no one would see me like this!" Riku muttered.

There were some demons a bit far away from his village, but he didn't considered going there. Instead, he went near the werebeast territory.

Some werebeasts were on patrol and as soon as they sensed Riku's presence, they ran towards him. Igris gestured to Riku that they were near, therefore, Riku dismounted and ordered Igris to kill anyone who tried to hurt either Riku or him.

Werebeasts came near them but they didn't attack since they were wary of Igris.

"Who are you guys? Why have you come in our territory?"

"Don't worry, harming you guys was never the plan. I just want to play chess with one of you." Riku said.

"What?" One of them said.

"You can also run away or try to kill us, but my friend is quite powerful you see."

"What do you want exactly?"

"A game of chess." Riku said and started arranging the chess pieces.

Werebeast was a species which acted mostly by instincts, and their instinct was screaming to avoid the conflict at any rate.

"Fine! We'll do it. But, will you go away if we played with you?"

"Yeah, you won't get as less as a single scratch, assuming that you won't try to hurt me either."

"Alright." One of the werebeast said and sat down to play with riku.

Riku touched a pawn and a notification came.

[Mission Completed]

But he started playing while checking the next mission.

• Riku always thought of protecting others and never thought of killing. Therefore, the next task is~

[Kill ten individual of any race.]

"Alright, it was fun playing with you." Riku said as he stood up.

"You're done?" The one who was playing with him said.

"Yeah, thanks for playing." Riku said

"Okay we're leaving." Riku said and started going back with Igris.

Riku thought that werebeasts would try to attack him from behind which would give him a reason to kill them, but they didn't.

Riku wasn't planning to kill them in the first place. He can't kill all three of them together, one of them would definitely run away and tell about it to others, resulting in their hostility towards him.

When he quite far from there, he opened the gacha window. Now, there was only one spin and this one was about a passive skill.

He clicked the spin button and after 1 minute, it stopped.

[Congratulations. You got an inventory]
