Part 1
Year 20XX…..
April 22nd…
The birthday of this nerdy boy who is 19 years old.
Jayz Strider
A 3rd year high school student or in other word Grade 12, a top student, ranked 24th in the average grade of every student in this school…
He was returning from school by bus, sitting in his usual seat by the right window, looking out the window at just an ordinary grocery store and a snack shop, with many students from both middle and high school around there.
Jayz smiled to himself… with excitement that there was only one week left until his high school graduation ceremony.
if it were a normal person, they would be excited because they got to say goodbye to their teachers, congratulate their friends who were going to have their own paths, and had built good relationships with each other throughout their time at school…
But on other hand…
This glasses boy's idea was not what others thought.
Before this day, he had planned everything…
He informed his homeroom teacher that he had something to do that prevented him from attending the graduation ceremony, so the teacher handed over all the evidence related to his graduation in advance before everyone else…
At first, the teacher wanted to hand it over retroactively, but because of Jayz's sympathy and kindness from the fact that he had been forgetful and clumsy in the past, the teacher had to give in…
He applied to two universities, and the first one he applied to, he let his family, friends, and teachers know about…
But in reality, he applied to another one, which was overseas. It was a university that taught about supernatural powers, and few people knew about it, so it was a loophole that allowed him to apply online…
He had saved his personal money since he was in the first year of high school until now, and it was almost twenty thousand, which was enough for him to travel abroad by himself…
Because he was lucky, he received a special ticket from a website… which allowed him to get a cheap ticket that would allow him to travel abroad to the university he applied to from the second one…
Everything went according to his plan…
The reason he must to do this… was because he didn't want to be in this place anymore…
He had his own safe zone, besides his bedroom, there was nowhere else…
Both school and home were small hells that he had to face every day…
Jayz happened to recall his memories from his time studying here, from junior high school until now.
Hey! Idiot! This Chuubinyou talker!…
Blurrr!! Why? Don't you dare?…
If you're so courage, then come on!? Are you scared? You idiot!!
Both the expressions and the voices of the male shitty students who had bullied him before, even though they were in different classes, were in the classrooms where he had a prejudice that anyone in the lower classes was the class for the delinquents…
Jayz still remembered all of them… They liked to target only weaklings…
Even though in high school, he was in a classroom full of honor students, these guys hadn't disappeared yet.
They were always waiting for a chance to bully him, whether by force or by mind…
Hey! Is that the person you like? Can I steal from you?
A person who lack of speaking like you! Do you think he'll like you?
You idiot, you're just a freak and weaklings!!
Who would like you!!! You nerdy glasses!!!
The images are mixed in his mind… Even his classmates, both junior high and high school, don't care anything of him.
Hey! Is that a moron from the delinquent class?
Don't bother him!
No one will invite you to join the group!!
Jayz, who still has a kind heart, tries to survive in everyday…
When it comes to group work, he doesn't have a fixed friend group, switching groups every time in every assignment. He never has a good group of friends who understand him fully… Or to put it simply, he acts like a vagabond…
Even though only teachers care about him, because of his pride, he doesn't want teachers to help solve his problems much. Because besides being teased behind his back, punishments such as beatings or confinement won't help him get better…
And one of the worst things… The teacher once blamed him for causing trouble and instigating a fight before in junior high, even though he was the one who was attacked.
Jayz! You were the one who started this, right?
No! I didn't! Those guys started hitting me on the head first!!
How could that be!? My classmates never bully other classmates!
What! That's not true, Teacher. Trust me!!!
That was the first time, and the last time, that he made the biggest mistake…
The only thing that saved him was his academic performance, which was higher than them
It was like he had stepped on their heads, looked down on them, calling them just a bunch of idiots who were good at talking and acting like gangsters everywhere. He didn't care where they came from, what their environment was like? But the only thing that could answer him was,
They were idiots!!
Jayz, who had successfully followed the plan, everything that had happened in school, including the idiots, was like he had punched a mirror until it shattered…
The mirror that represented the frame that blocked him from being free,
But that was just the first frame… The second layer was his home.
The bus was taking Jayz to his village, where there was a house that used to be happy… The members lived together, ate together, and talked like a family that should be.
Since when? Until now, it was not like that anymore…
Jayz only remembered… It should be when he just moved to junior high school…
Jayz sighed and tried to think back to the last time, about his family.
His father, who was a high-ranking soldier, used to live together happily. But then one day, his father and mother had a fight, throwing things at each other and cursing at each other, as if everything was a weapon, even people's mouths.
It was like this almost every day, until finally, his father never came home again… No one knew what his father was doing. As for his salary, he left it with his mother sarcastically, even though he had not yet retired… causing him to live with his mother alone in the house…
As for his mother, after his father did not come home, she drank non-stop. She took some of his salary that he did not take to gamble, to relieve stress and resentment.
Even though there was nothing wrong when he did not drink, Jayz had to be suspicious every time. When would he drink?
If he had a drink, his mother almost became a beast that even a very good student like his son would not want. It was impossible to guess what his mother would say or do.
If Jayz made a wrong decision, he would face something worse than arguing with his father.
Jayz!!! You're fighting with someone else, aren't you?
Can't you walk slowly, Jayz!!!
Why don't you get good grades!!!
Even though Jayz had argued back or apologized, his mother was even more brutal. She chased him until she had to lock the bedroom door. His mother wouldn't let him go until she taught him a lesson with force.
Knock!! Knock!! Knock!!
Get out of the room now, Jayz!! Then you won't have the dinner!!
Knock!! Knock!! Knock!!
Jayz!!!
Reason and logic were almost useless… All I could do was wait until my mother was sober…
It was like this almost every day. Even though she had drunk so much that she got sick and had to go to the hospital, after she recovered she would still drink again. Even though he had warned her, his mother never thought of quitting…
As for her older sister, she was 5 years older than her younger brother. She was currently about to graduate from university.
But thinking about it, because she was the older sister, Making him sacrifice for his younger sibling all the time, both food and supplies.
He remembered his older sister's face, which was full of envy and hatred, because he was better than her younger sister, before his older sister decided to stay in a boarding school during high school and earn extra money to support herself.
His older sister never contacted him or came back home again, even though it was the school break…
He only remembered that his older sister had sent him information about some kind of cult, but he didn't care...
Jayz's gaze was dazed on the mirror the entire way back. The bus stopped at an alley in the village, where his house was.
Jayz got off the bus and walked into the alley without looking back.
And he arrived in front of the house... took off his shoes and knocked on the door.
"My mom's back!"
His mom opened the door. "Oh! What's up, Jayz! How was your day?"
"I'm fine," Jayz greeted back with a normal expression.
"Then, don't go anywhere yet. Mom has a surprise today!"
"Really? Can I tell you?"
"No, no, go take a shower first."
"Okay."
When Jayz walked into the house, he was constantly aware that Who still made a face and talked normally, but in fact, he had been holding a grudge, suppressed all along. As for his mother, she walked out of the house to water the plants in front of the house.
While walking up the stairs, he saw a red notebook on the floor of the stairs. He picked it up and immediately knew that it was his mother's venting notebook.
He had seen it before. Some days, his mother would write something in this notebook, suppressed, like she wanted to vent in the notebook. But he wondered if someone like his son would be interested? All he could do was put the notebook back where it belonged, which was in the drawer of the TV table.
He walked up to the second floor to his bedroom. His eyes looked at another green backpack, which was bigger than his school bag, placed on the bedside table. That was the bag that he had packed his belongings for leaving home and moving abroad in the early morning tomorrow, without his mother knowing.
Today is my birthday and the last day I will be here.
Mom... just get your happy as you can.
I will be able to finally get away...
Let's see after this day…
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2
When it was almost night and raining
After Jayz took a shower and went back to his bedroom, his mother was preparing food in the kitchen for her son's 19th birthday. She chopped the scallions slowly with the knife in her right hand, which was shaking...
The mother felt uneasy, an abnormal feeling, trying to make herself happy on her son's birthday, because she wanted her son to receive true happiness from her once more.
Even though she greeted her son and talked to him like every time at home,
Even though she tried to act like a normal mother who takes care of her children,
She herself knew... When she accidentally drank alcohol...
It couldn't be fixed... Hatred... Stress...
Being a mother now is only deteriorating all the time...
The sound of cursing words, violent actions, were mixed into her memories, detailed in every word and every action, until the mother could not describe it in writing or human language.
Just thinking of her husband's face... The face of her eldest daughter or even... The youngest son
I.... I'm sorry!!
But another face appeared... That was the face of the new wife. That mother had just investigated not long ago, that woman had come back to be close to her husband. Mother thought that might be the reason why he left her.
Mother grabbed her head, her eyes wide open, she felt a severe headache.
Why… it had to be like this!!
Tears were flowing down from both eyes.. Eyes rolling all over, starting to lose control.
Why!!... Why!!!!
WWWWwwhhhhyyyyy!!!!!
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
Jayz, who was playing a mobile game on the bed, heard a very loud noise from downstairs. Just because the kitchen was downstairs from this bedroom… He had never encountered such an event before. As far as he could remember… His mother would usually make a scene while destroying things, but this was unusual. There was no familiar noise.
So Jayz decided to walk out of the room and walked down the stairs back to the first floor.
Just as he turned to face the open kitchen…
He saw the condition of the kitchen from the outside. All the items, the dish cabinet, the kitchen table, and the electrical appliances for cooking were smashed into small pieces…
It was definitely not the work of a person. Was it a monster? A dog invaded the house? Or what?
Suddenly… The son saw his mother walking out of the bathroom next to the kitchen. Just seeing her and not even mentioning her name made his back tremble. Her face and appearance were something he had never seen before.
The head moving towards his son, the eyes turning white, the unsteady walk, and the right hand holding a kitchen knife. Was that really his mother when she was drunk? The mother was slowly walking in.
The son was now almost trembling with fear, unable to step back!!
"Aaaaaagghhhh!!!"
Grind!! Smack!!
The son's scream ended, and when he came to, he was lying against the wall, as if something had cut him off. His vision, which was still blurry, tried to see clearly what was happening in front of him.
But why… could only his right eye see, while his left eye…
"Ah!… Aaaaagggghhhh!!! It hurts!!!!!"
A scream of agony, his left eye could no longer see anything, and both hands tightly held his left eye. He realized that it was a wound from being cut into his left eye, and blood was continuously flowing out. How could this be? He was still anxious from the pain he had never experienced before, until his right vision began to clear up.
No… No… It's not true!
He saw the image clearly and suddenly thought, that was his real mother's work, in the gesture of using the knife in his right hand to cut down… Was it really his mother? The knife was used to cut Jayz's left eye... until it bounced here.
Mother lifted herself up and walked closer...
Now Jayz didn't know what was wrong. It wasn't his mother anymore! Why did his mother have to do this to him? He thought he would be able to live longer before he started his plan to escape the house tomorrow, but it was too late.
Just looking at the kitchen knife covered in his blood, the sound of footsteps approaching very slowly but ready to rush in at any time, and his mother's face, which was not normal anymore, and not someone who was angry or drunk to the point of losing control, but it... he himself didn't know what to call it.
"Ah... ah... ah..." Jayz tried to get up even though his legs were shaking...
Mother kept walking until there were only 3 steps left...
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Jayz screamed again and used all of his strength to push his mother away with all his might. As soon as he was able to push her away, he opened the door and ran away immediately without looking back. He didn't care about his mother who was pushed by him, but all he could think of was...
He had to get out of this house!
Jayz ran along the concrete road, amidst the lightning and his left hand still holding the wound from his left eye that had not stopped bleeding. The more he ran, the more tired he became. The more it was rained, the more the wound stung.
Until finally... he stumbled and fell to the ground, and groaned pitifully.
"Why?... Why?..."
"Why does it have to be like this?..."
"It's not fair?..."
Jayz, who was still lying in the middle of the road soaked in rain, could only use his left hand to reach forward...
The things he wanted to grab, the things he wanted, the freedom and solitude that he wanted,
all collapsed in one day, and in one time...
He could only plead... until his voice was mixed with the rain.
"It can't be helped... Oh God... please let me die..."
"...."
"....."
Jayz's left hand...
It became warm, even though he had lost consciousness.
"Wow... What the hell? I like yuu, Yuu know?!" Someone's voice spoke.
Jayz, who had been unconscious, began to regain consciousness a little bit, by opening his right eye slightly, although it was very blurry.
He didn't know where the voice was coming from. Where was it coming from? In the middle of the road and it was raining?
"Don't be afraid, AI'll mold yuu myself."
"Yuu won't have to lose hope. Yuu'll have all the power! Just..."
"If yuu agree to come and stay with me for a month, AI guarantee it! Yuu'll become the strongest human ever."
Jayz didn't know what the mysterious voice was saying. He didn't even have the strength to look up to find the source of the irritating voice.
But it really couldn't be helped. All he could do was nod in response.
"Good, good! Then! From today onwards, you're-"
"Link-Slayer!!..."
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 3
3 months passed…
"It is… Morning already?..."
The alarm from the smartphone on the nightstand woke a young man up, along with sunlight from the window piercing both of his eyes…
He got out of bed and opened the window, allowing him to enjoy the refreshing morning breeze.
Looking down, he saw the garden in front of his dorm, followed by streets and many buildings. He was on the 4th floor of the dorm.
It felt great to be able to receive steady sunlight like this in the country he had finally moved to.
Irisberg
An island country that was discovered in the middle of the ocean around 2,000 years ago. It was caused by a major earthquake that resulted from an unknown Outra World, which gave birth to this island…
It is a country with an area as large as a continent that used to be an island on Earth.
This country is rich in natural resources that include both the original world and Outra World, such as vegetables, fruits, herbs, and minerals. In addition, the weather is not volatile and clearly fluctuates, making this country popular among foreign tourists who come to settle down, both as a tourist destination and a resource trading business, which makes some of the population There is no need to find new resources by going to Outra World, or even a house, which is considered equally livable.
In addition, this country is filled with a huge wave of supernatural power, so researchers who are secretly researching supernatural power have also moved here.
But entering this country is not easy because you have to make an Outra Passport, which only people who have supernatural power or are involved in this research can enter this country.
And this short-haired young man who is dressing up, wearing a white hoodie with a blue sleeve, and blue jeans, and picking up the glasses on the table to put on... He is considered lucky to have moved to this country to continue his studies at university with determination.
He walked to the mirror to reflect his appearance today.
"There's only one week left, Jayz Strider."
"Soon, I will be able to start the new school life that I want..."
Jayz muttered to himself with a serious face and kept a small smile from the reflection of the mirror, showing his confidence that he will finally be able to live the life he wants.
The young man walked out of the bedroom and went to the kitchen to make breakfast by himself...
It didn't take long. Set his own breakfast plate, full of fried eggs, sausages, ham, and toast with mixed fruit jam.
The glasses young man used the fork in his right hand to eat his food, while using his left hand to swipe his phone, looking at the feed on social networks.
After scrolling for a while, he found the page of the university he had applied to and was in this country. It posted on social networks announcing the arrival of new students at this university.
Saintford University
As far as he knew, this university was not very popular at first because the cost of admission was very high, which was probably because this country had resources that people all over the world needed.
But after the launch of the Outra App, including this year, they had a special promotion for new students who applied. Jayz himself was lucky to be able to apply here in time, through a post on the university page, which said that the university would only accept the first 1,000 people who applied and took the test in time.
The university was about 20 kilometers away from Jayz's temporary room, and it seemed that Jayz himself could not take a shortcut to enter the university in advance, such as staying in the university dormitory.
After he looked at the post and read the comments under the post, which were filled with many strangers, all excited about the university, he continued to scroll through other feeds…
But then… he heard the sound of a car outside the room, running at a very high speed. It disturbed his breakfast. He had to get up and look out the window.
"Location Link!"
Just saying the name of the skill caused his special power to activate immediately.
[Skill: Location Link - is one of the support skills that allows him to perceive the location of things around him within a 1 kilometer range, projecting an image onto his eyes, like an online map that identifies things.]
In his range, he indicated the location of the van that was evading other cars with a high-powered jet.
"Follow the information of that car! Information Link!"
[Skill: Information Link - is one of the support skills that allows him to perceive basic information of things, as long as it is within his line of sight. It can also be used in conjunction with Location Link to gain further information.]
"That van, my god... is it the group that kidnaps a kid?"
"I don't like this shitty."
Jayz raised his left hand out the left window, making a gunman's gesture.
"Decode Bullet!"
He shot a purple energy bullet from his index finger, hitting the back of the van slightly, causing the van to swerve slightly, but it was still able to drive on, and was about to leave the Location Link range.
But it didn't go completely.
"Marking successful!"
[Furthermore, His Location Link can track inanimate objects moving out of the Location Link range or places outside of that range. By touching through the body or attacking, a Mark will be created, allowing the location of the marked object or place to be known.]
Jayz then walked back from the window slightly, with both hands and arms making a gesture as if he was about to draw a bow. Blue energy appeared, forming a bow and arrow that he was about to draw...
At the same time, an energy gauge called the Link Gauge appeared on the right lens of the glasses.
From 100%, it decreased by 6%, and Jayz shot an arrow.
"Shootingcode Arrow!!"
A blue arrow was shot out of his room window and turned to aim at the van until it caught up with the speed of the van.
And then the arrow pierced one of the rear wheels, causing the tire to burst, causing the van to lose control and accidentally crash into the police station…
"....."
"At least… the kids in the van are safe."
"Then this is a rest for the police."
Jayz closed the room window, looking a little happy as if he was a secret hero who could secretly handle the case without anyone knowing. And then he went back to eat breakfast…
While eating, his right eye, which was looking at the Link Gauge reflected on the lens, recovered to 100% as before.
After washing the bowls, he opened another door in the living room.
The familiar white door opened…
"I want to decorate this room, but I'm still lazy."
The white hall that was 10 times larger than his room, with a checkerboard floor that he still remembered very well.
"That white thing… It's been 3 months, and you still leave it with me. Don't take it back..."
"Creation Link!"
With the skill name said and a snap of his fingers, a red sandbag stood in the middle of the room, then walked closer and snapped his fingers.
"I'll try to review it, in this case I can think of a new skill."
Jayz got ready to shoot again.
"Every skill I've thought of, I can't remember how I did it. Every time I think of a new skill to fight, there must be a cost that consumes 1% of Link Gauge energy for each skill?..."
While thinking, nothing came of it, Jayz immediately started reviewing.
"Decode Bullet!!" [Cost 1%] Fired a purple energy bullet from his finger, shooting at the red sandbag. It shook a little, but didn't take any damage.
"Encode Beam!!" [Cost 2%] Fired a yellow beam from his other palm, shooting at the sandbag, knocking it down. Jayz ran back to set it up again. Before walking back to the original point
"Excode Burst!!" [Cost 3%] Green fire appeared from both hands that were raised and opened towards the sandbag, causing it to bounce against the wall.
Jayz used the force from both feet to bounce himself until he was close to the sandbag puppet.
"Powercode Slicer!!" [Cost 4%] He created a pink energy sword in his left hand. He danced the sword haphazardly until the sandbag was still stuck to the wall, although there were no cut marks.
"Transcode Chain!!" [Cost 5%] Created an orange iron chain from the air on Jayz's left side, with a handle at the end. The end of the chain grabbed the sandbag and swung it above the ground.
"Shootingcode Arrow!!" [Cost 6%] Created a bow and blue energy arrows. Then he shot the sandbag again until it fell to the ground.
Jayz then created elemental weapons in each hand.
His left hand, "Cleancode Hydronir!!" [Cost: 7%], created a spear made of water molecules.
His right hand, "Freezecode Overwrite!!" [Cost: 8%], created a hand-sized ice block.
He threw a water spear, followed by an ice block, causing the sandbag to take damage from the water explosion and be instantly frozen in the ice crystals from the block that was thrown…
Jayz approached the frozen sandbag and sighed.
"Sigh… What should I do? Let it… Oh! Right!"
An idea popped into Jayz's head.
"Then, I wonder if I should think of these skills, but as upgraded ones. What will the conditions be? How much is the cost!? This is getting interesting!"
It was evening.
After Jayz had been inventing new skills all day…
He decided to go find something to eat at a convenience store that wasn't far from his room.
He got the food he needed to eat back in his room and was about to go back to his dorm.
Just 4 steps out of the shop
"Huh!"
Detection Link! Auto Activate
This skill will automatically activate, allowing Jayz to sense supernatural attacks that will harm him within a 10-meter radius. While the skill is active, Jayz will see the outside moving very slowly, causing him to look around.
From behind, in the back of the convenience store next to the naturally growing forest, he saw something in air, a green liquid rushing towards Jayz…
"Firewallcode Barrier!" [Cost 5%]
Just by saying the name of the skill, a blue barrier was created to protect the green stuff, and because of this barrier, it was blocked before it could rush towards his face.
When the block was successful, Detection Link stopped working, and time and everything that was slow returned to normal, followed by green liquid flowing from the barrier onto the sidewalk.
"Ah!"
Jayz flinched slightly as the green liquid was corroding the concrete floor as if it had a strong acidic effect.
"Location Link!"
He activated the skill to find the source of the green slime, causing him to look back in the same direction as before, the way the liquid came from.
"It's from there huh?…I thought there would be nothing in the Outra Gate next to the forest…"
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 4
In the Outra World, a dense forest area, in the middle of the forest
A red short-haired girl, wearing a white sleeveless shirt, red short pants, and black shoes
She is fighting a monster that is a green giant golem with a slime body and a fresh brain in its head. In addition to her, there is a mother and her elementary school child who are unconscious and are stuck to the tree with green slime.
"Tch! Damned! I can't fight at all!.. If I use fire magic, its victims will also be bombed because of that acid!?"
The red-haired girl is trying to think hard about how to fight it, but the slime golem doesn't hesitate.
It extends both sides towards her and shoots green slime bullets from its fingertips towards her.
Then, her right hand reaches forward, a blue magic circle appears in front of her.
"Ice Magic! Ice Wall!"
A wall of ice appears from the ground, blocking the slime bullets immediately.
But it doesn't last long, the acidic effect of the bullets slowly melts the ice until it melts completely... It sees her. Casting some kind of spell with her right hand raised to the sky, along with a yellow magic circle
"Thunder Magic! Thunder Roar!!"
A bolt of lightning struck the slime golem from the sky, causing it to groan.
But after the lightning ran out of power, it barely felt any damage.
She realized that no matter what magic she used, it had no effect on it, so it had to release another slime bullet from her finger.
The bullet tried to chase her, so she had to hide behind a tree and quickly used her phone to open the Outra App.
Outra App was an app created in the year 2000 for convenience that was filled with many features, such as warping to various Outra Worlds or communicating in Outra World. But what she wanted was another function in the app.
When she pressed the button, a light saber appeared in the air.
That was one of the features of the app, which allowed her to call the weapon from anywhere, as specified by the app…
"If it's this sword!!"
She took the saber in her right hand, with her confidence returning. There was no other choice.
"Its weakness must be that brain!!!"
"Thunder Magic! Blitz Sprint!!"
With both feet filled with yellow lightning aura, she rushed out from the hiding tree.
The slime golem shot the slime bullets again, but this time… she zigzagged at lightning speed, so that the bullets could not catch up with her.
When she got the chance to get close, she jumped up above the ground, until it was above its head.
She screamed at the top of her lungs and used her light saber to trust down from the sky to stab the slime's head immediately.
The saber tried to trust, almost reaching the brain mass…
But… "Tch! Impossible!?"
Suddenly, four tendrils shot out from the golem's body, binding her hands and feet in midair.
"Tch! Not eroded!?... Gulp!!"
She could only scream in fear and struggle with all her might.
"Let go! Let me go! Let me go now!! You ugly monster!!"
Then… Something opened up from the monster's head, it seemed to be a mouth… And another number of tentacle appeared, wrapped around her body, and slowly moved towards its mouth.
"Noooooo!! Noooooo!!!!"
SLASH!!! CRACK!! BAM!!
But then, the tentacle was cut apart, a frozen cut mark, and she was kicked far away from the slime golem, landing on the ground immediately.
The tentacle that was cut and used to be on her body disappeared… She felt it, sat up, and saw a man standing in front of her, who was looking at the monster. She guessed that this man must have saved her or not?
"Who are you? Did you save me??" She asked, but he still didn't answer. Until her eyes looked down, she saw the dirt of her shoes stained her shirt, at the stomach area.
"Hey wait! You're the one who kicked me!?" She asked again, with a slightly angry tone.
But the slime golem didn't hesitate, immediately shooting the slime bullet again. The young man then reached forward with his right hand, creating a blue barrier to block again. His left hand created an ice needle in his finger… which was a miniature Overwrite skill, but still used the same cost.
"Be quiet, I'm concentrating. Find a way to deal with it."
This man spoke up, shocking her with that sentence. Could he really find a way to deal with it if he came to her so rudely?
His eyes glanced at the Link Gauge on the lens of his glasses, which was currently not fully restored to 100% and was stuck at 89% due to the barrier and ice needle skills that were still in use.
Then, his left hand threw the ice needle at the slime that was clinging to the mother and child victims on the tree... causing the slime to freeze and break apart. The mother and child escaped, with another blue barrier gently catching them before slowly placing them on the ground, controlled by his left hand.
"I saved you! Hm-!"
She, who was looking at the mother and child who were saved so well, suddenly paused and suddenly remembered, why was it different from her? Why didn't he do this to her more safety?
"But you! Why didn't you help me nicely! See! My favorite shirt got dirty because of you! You're-!"
Before long, the young man turned to her and used his left hand to grab her shoulder..
In just a few seconds..
The red-haired girl, including the mother and child who were victims, were brought behind a tree, far away from the golem.
"That skill just now... Warp? It's not from the app!?"
She was even more shocked at what had happened. Until she looked up, she saw his full face... It was a young man wearing glasses, wearing a white and blue hoodie...
"Who are you??" She asked again with curiosity and shock from the warp skill just now.
"..." The young man with glasses didn't answer anything after seeing her ask him, while he still had a dead fish face, she couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Ive Roux... aren't you?"
The young man with glasses already knew basic information, such as the real name of the young woman with short red hair, but there was some information that made him frown immediately, making her suspicious again with his strange expression.
"Hey! Why do you know my name!? Why aren't you answering! Who the hell are you!?"
"Let's just say you're an SOP, I'll handle you later."
Then, his left hand raised two index and middle fingers. Tap on the forehead
"Warp Link!" [Cost 5%]
He warped away before her eyes, in less than a split second
Ive was now filled with doubts that filled her brain…
Who was he… and he also knew that she was an SOP too..
The glasses man warped back to the open area, the area where the slime golem was once more... and his eyes looked at the Link Gauge that was recovering to almost 100%... It was time to fight back!
The golem fired another round of slime bullets, and the bespectacled boy threw purple Decode Bullets from both hands [Cost 1% x2], causing smoke from the clash.
He took the opportunity to get behind the golem and used his right hand to reach towards it, creating an orange chain out of thin air, Transcode Chain [Cost 5%], which was embedded inside its body, even though it could not hold onto its body.
When it came to its senses and tried to turn around, he did not hesitate, his left hand filled with orange energy balls, which were packed with a lot of charge, and immediately placed this energy ball on the chain.
"Transcode Arc-Thunder!" [Cost 10%]
Sending orange electricity through the chain, shocking the slime golem's entire body, causing it to groan in praise.
"Continuous attack, it must be like this!" He then pointed his left finger at the slime golem.
"Freezecode Arc-World!" [Cost 16%]
The golem, chains, and lightning were completely frozen by zero-degree ice… until they couldn't move at all.
He was about to end the game, both hands charging some energy, the yellow one on the left and the blue one on the right… until it formed an energy ball that fit in his hand.
While he was charging energy… Ive was carrying the mother and child using a portable cart that was operated through the Outra App… back to the open area again.
"Encode Arc-Buster!!!" [Cost 10%]
He stretched both hands forward, creating a large ball of yellow and blue energy that shot to destroy the frozen golem… Ive, who was watching him take care of it, was almost stunned at how much better he was than her.
The bespectacled boy thought that this should be the end of it… but because he was uncertain, he activated the skill
"Location Link!"
With the skill that senses everything within 1 kilometer, he could still see the remaining slimes moving. And was moving away from this area..
But before the glasses guy could chase after after that piece of monster, he was grabbed by Ive on his right shoulder, forcing him to turn back.
"Hey! Wait a minute, you bas-!"
"Thank you for helping to deal with that monster and save this mother and child, but-"
Ive stared at the glasses guy without hesitation, using her other hand to take out something from her pants pocket, which looked like a pen but had a tiny flashlight-like device on the tip of the pen.
"But I'm sorry! Since you're not SOP... Just forget about this!"
Then she decided to press the button on the pen, immediately shining a white light at the young man…
