"No problem. But where's the thing you stole? Give it to me; I'll help you hide it," Migali said with a sly smile.
Ben could easily guess what this smile meant continuing his act Ben looked at Migali and said with a confident eye and said " I hid it in the middle of the city palace where no one will look for it "
Migali was in a hurry without doubting Ben's words prattled " Can you take me there? " Slowly moving closer to Ben and muttered, " I will help you hide it in a more safe place ."
Migali tells Ben to follow him and moves forward and sees Ben simply walking a seed of doubt emerged saying that Ben knows his identity Migali stops and comes back near Ben And asks " Why aren't you using your skill "
Caught like a rat in a trap, Ben stood silent and mentioned " I am conserving my energy there might be an enemy who might attack us while we are not ready "
he didn't forget to retort' specially you ' and walked past Migali leaving him thoughts.
They arrived at the city palace, avoiding the city's security. Ben didn't know how to get to the city hell he did not know where he was, so he let Migali take him, who took him from a hidden gate at the city entrance, avoiding any danger. On the way, Ben didn't forget and took a chance, swaying Migali to buy him a set of clothes to hide him to avoid trouble saying he would pay him back.
They were stood on shady ground, where very few were present. In front of them, a large building formed a dome of four large pillars, each intricately adorned with mechanical elements, drones hovering scanning the vicinity large door made of metal on which several mechanical wheels were interconnected.
They were standing in the corridor with alien-looking creatures gazing at them with suspicious gazes they ignored them arriving in the hall where walls were printed with various amazing history various known figures were painted on them with their abilities. On a side inside a glass slab, many weapons were kept.
"Now tell me where have you hidden it " Migali demanded
Ben was now silent as he was out of options he had already made a plan to get himself separated from Migali but Migali was not just anybody he always caught him Ben saved himself by saying various stuff.
Ben knew now the clash was undeniable he decided to trust his luck with a low chuckle shuffling the back of his head remarked " Oh THAT I FORGOT!! Let me see "
" Do you take me for a fool " Migali growled as he moved toward Ben
"Hey, system help me!! " Ben muttered
[ ...]
Swish swapped his empty hand with a sword stored under a covered glass slab and pointed at Ben.
" They told me only to find you but I shall end it all here. " Migali scowled, narrowing his eyes as he jumped at Ben.
' fuck ' fuck ' ' what should I do ...' Ben's mind raced.
' status window,' he thought desperately.
A wide transparent screen appeared before his eyes

[Trait : (locked )]
[Remark: You are good at stealing and running. >< ]
So I have teleporting ability.
Good at what 'stealing'? why is his trait locked??
"SXREE" TEARING THE WIND THE SWORD Ben's shoulder threw himself back Ben evaded the attack.
' how can I use it ' Think it was described in the novel ....'
Again, the sword came, grazing his arm as he tried to deflect its trajectory. Blood started seeping out of the cut.
"Ahh" Ben screamed in pain.
'steps ..steps' The commotion gathered quite an attention as many came running toward them
" I will kill you today " Migali didn't look and simply got ready for another strike. Just as he was about to the sword hit nothing but empty space.
" you can't run from me "
'Huff... I figured it out, but this took a toll. I was already injured; he will find me soon enough.'
"grumble " his stomach echoed where he sat on the wall supporting his back he wrapped clothes around his cut to stop seeping the blood. The blood drop had left a trail seeing this he knew he had to move otherwise today would be his first and last day.
' I just need time to...system can you talk?'
[...]
'System why am I here'
[ insufficient system level! ]
[ Host is advised to upgrade system level ]
" First I have reincarnated into a novel as an extra from my already fucked up life and here I am fucked up too" Ben roared punching the nearby wall
moving escaping the strange alien creatures a thought appeared
' wait, why is that they want from me 'What is it for somehow his eyes went to the pouch which was still stuck to his back he again brought it in his hand
[ Scanning complete ]

[ Requirement - Level 50 ]
' So this is the cause, but it is too good to be left behind,' sighed and looked around he was outside of the building but the sky was still dark. The night cycle on this planet is so weird night is equivalent to 48 hours and morning is only for 24 hours.
Surroundings were covered in vail; only strange-looking creatures were walking around there was no human nearby. The only source of light was lamps which were floating in the sky, the same as a drone.
'It's still painful, and I'm not far enough to escape. I can't use this ability and have nothing other than these coins...' Suddenly, an idea popped up.
" Where do you think you are going ?" from his back which sends a shiver
" you just have become more weak" Migali commented
just as he was about to move forward Ben took out the coin which was carved with Tyree's sign bumped out of the surface like a button.
'It's my last hope ' With a serious look, Ben pressed the button.
