11 System (1)

After leaving the bar, Cram and the kids along with the released slaves, all went to the church.

Once they got there they were greeted by 20 personal guards of Miyuki. They noticed Cram and the others presence and told them to halt.

"Hold! this place is currently being restricted" said one of the guards.

The children and the slaves were startled, but then Cram stepped forward and was immediately recognized.

"Mr Cram, Lady Miyuki is waiting for you inside" said one of the guards that recognized Cram.

Cram raised an eyebrow towards the guard and asked "Miyuki came here herself?"

"Yes, and she been very worried Mr Cram" said the guard.

"I see, then I suppose I'll go meet her. Where is she?" asked Cram.

"She's in the dorms lobby" replied the guard.

"Alright, I'll go and see her" said Cram. Then he pointed towards the released slaves and said "Take care of this guys for me, give them a hearty meal and have them settle down in the church. Buy some futons if you need them. Here's 100k Jewel's if it's not enough come and look for me"

"Yes!" said the guard as he was astonished as well as moved by Cram's kindness.

Then Cram proceeded to the Dorms together with Niiya, Hanna and Myuu.

Cram entered the lobby with the kids, when Joy and Mary saw the kids they immediately greeted them with a hug while crying. Ken and Luna weren't there as they were already asleep. Although they were worried, they were still just kids so Mary took them to bed and told them not to worry as Myuu and the others will be there when they wake up. Miyuki on the other hand sighed in relief when she saw Cram safe.

When Joy first came to her for help at the resort she was rather dazed. She forgot her work and couldn't think properly as she worried about Cram. She couldn't get a hold of her emotions until Leiya snapped her out of it.

They asked Joy for the details and immediately gave her the guards she needed. But, she still couldn't help but feel worried so she went with Joy to the Orphanage leaving Leiya in charge of the resort.

"I'm glad to see your okay" said Miyuki as she greeted Cram with a smile. Cram was genuinely touched when Miyuki worried for him, he made eye contact with her and smiled warmly. Miyuki who saw this blushed and averted her gaze.

"Yes, thank you Mr Cram. Thank you" said Joy in a respectful tone.

She never would've thought the friend Cram wanted her to get help from was the owner of the number one resort in all of Fiore. She shuddered under the thought of angering such a person who had someone with high status as a friend. But more than fear she respected Cram more for helping people like them even though he could have just turned a blind eye. Joy was really thankful for Cram's help.

"Thank you for getting them back safely" said Mary as she bowed deeply at Cram.

Cram scratched the back of his head and told them "There's no need for such thanks, I only did what I wanted to do"

"Oh no, we seriously need to thank you. If you weren't there I don't know what would've happened to the kids" said Mary as Joy nodded.

Cram contemplated for a bit then told Mary and Joy "Then allow me to visit the kids from time to time. That'll be enough for me"

Mary and Joy looked at each other and smiled then nodded in agreement with Cram.

Then Cram turned his gaze to Miyuki and said "Miyuki, thank you for helping me on this incident"

"Don't worry about it, it was all for the kids sake" said Miyuki but Cram still insisted on thanking her.

"If you need anything in the future just call me okay and I'll do anything in my power to help you" said Cram.

"Really? then I'll keep that in mind" said Miyuki as she smiled enchantingly. Cram gulped when he saw her smile, but then shook his head to get rid of any naughty thoughts.

Cram told them about the people he saved from the thugs and asked Mary and Joy if they could stay for a day or two, or just until he bought a suitable house for them to stay. He gave them a Million jewels for their expenses. Mary and Joy both screamed "Too much!" and was about to return it. But then Cram said "Just think of the excess as a donation for the kids" Although, reluctantly they both accepted in the end.

After a few more formalities Miyuki and Cram said their farewells and left the orphanage with half of Miyuki's personal guards.

Miyuki insisted in leaving 10 of her personal guards just in case something else happened. Joy and Mary said their farewells to her and Cram, then bowed deeply as they thanked them again.

Cram and Miyuki road a carriage while being escorted by guards. Inside Miyuki was stealing glances at Cram from time to time. This didn't get unnoticed by Cram, he synced his eye movement just at the right moment that Miyuki looked at him.

Miyuki was startled and begun to blush in embarrassment like she was caught. Cram smiled at her reaction and asked "Do you have something to say?"

Miyuki faked a cough and asked Cram in a serious tone "How did you do it?"

Cram understanding what she meant said "Easy, I just asked them nicely"

"Asked them nicely?" said Miyuki doubtfully.

"Yup" said Cram

"And they agreed to you?" asked Miyuki

"Sadly No, that's why I made sure they never leave that bar again" said Cram as if there was nothing to it.

"What!? How many where they?" exclaimed Miyuki in shock.

"About 50 more or less" said Cram as if those numbers didn't matter.

"Thats almost all of the criminals in Akane" said Miyuki. She knew Cram was strong, who would've thought he would be this strong. Miyuki was convinced that Cram's strength was on par with a B or even A class mage/mercenary. Then, she smiled when she remembered she owes her something and began to calculate the possiblities of his help.

Cram just let her be and enjoyed the view of Akane town outside the carriage window.

When they arrived at Akane resort a familiar scene greeted them. It was the line of maid's and butler's welcoming their Mistress.

Leiya greeted Miyuki and Cram and asked them the details of what happened. Cram told her everything, from when he was being robed by a cute thief, up to when the children where kidnapped and then rescued by him.

"I see, that must have been tough for the children" said Leiya while sympathizing with them.

"Yeah, it was. That's why I made sure all of those bastards never leave that bar again" said Cram in a cold tone.

Leiya agreed with his methods and nodded. She wasn't a weak girl who knew nothing about the world. She knew how cruel it can be, and she knew those thugs deserved it as they were worse than animals.

Then after a few interactions from some maids and butler's he knew. Cram bade goodnight to both Miyuki and Leiya.

After Cram settled down in his room, he began to check on something that bugged him since he killed the thugs.

In front of him was like a transparent screen of a game. He checked a message icon that kept on blinking in the corner of the screen. He tried to press the message icon but failed as it was intangible. Then he thought of those light novels he read back on earth. He imitated the MC of one of them. He focused on the icon and Imagined opening it.

He succeeded, and quite easily as well. Who knew light novels were so helpful. Then he checked the message;

"Congratulations you have met the minimum amount of Karmic points to unlock "Otherworld assistance system" with the features "Global Map", and "Otaku Shop".

Cram was confused and began to question what this was for. Then a robotic voice answered his question.

*Otherworld assistance system*

- Is a basic system given to those who were reincarnated from different worlds. It takes the form of the most convenient way the host could understand. In Cram's case it was a game interface.

FEATURES:

*Global Map*

- Map that shows every corner of the world. It also discerns from friend, for, and monster. (Imagine Google map but with people, monsters, and threat indicators)

*Otaku Shop*

- A shop that has two categories "Skill" and "Items". In exchange for Karmic points host can learn and purchase any skill and item from every game, anime, movie, and light novel available.

Current Karmic points - 10200

Cram was speechless when he saw this but was to tired to bother. He thought of sleeping for now and checking it tomorrow.
