"What was that?" I asked myself, wondering how someone had managed to convince the system to share a message for him.

It wasn't like I didn't know the person in the message; everyone knew him. He was the unlucky lord [Kingsley] whom the system refused to help in any way, from the regular system settings to the system's troops, none were given to him for reasons unknown.

Well, it's not like I could say the reason was unknown now; that guy was definitely a monster. Anyone with even a bit of brain would have long since figured out that the system doesn't help him because he doesn't need the help.

"Too bad, I would have submitted too if only I didn't have my Ogres," I said with a smile on my face.

Just a few meters in front of me were about ten hulking figures; they were the ogres, and they were absolutely huge. The ogres, unlike the ones in fiction, possessed human-like intelligence, which meant that they could use battle strategies that even I didn't know.

They were huge but not fat. Instead, they looked shredded for some reason, but it made sense after all; for a race this big, it made sense to be in shape after all, since you don't know when the true top dogs will come hunting. Their size naturally makes them heavier and thus slower, but better shape means better speed.

I refuse to believe that I wouldn't survive the event when I have bodyguards this powerful, and besides, they weren't my main hope; it was the slightly smaller ogre in the back. It held a staff taller than it and looked slightly older, but its body said otherwise

Even the Lord's Eye acknowledges just how powerful the orc shaman is, and this was when it was still at level 3. I can't even wait for it to reach the upper levels.

"My Lord, these were captured for you as you requested." Gaba said as he pointed at the orcs and goblins that were tied up behind him.

"Excellent, now let's see who is truly the protagonist of this world," I said while laughing.

Taking the sword we got from looting the goblins, I stabbed the first orc and leaned in with my entire body weight since, even though the orc couldn't move, its skin was still hard to cut through or pierce. With the sword piercing its heart, I felt a steady flow of power enter me. This was the first time I had experienced such a thing, but it was easy to guess what it was.

"I feel it… "This power is intoxicating. Hahahaha anomaly or not, no one can stop my rise." I laughed as I went on to kill the others.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!" I laughed in joy.

This world may be dangerous, but with my S-rank talent and A-rank troops, I will definitely dominate it. I may have just been an accountant back on Earth, but in this world, things would be completely different.

POV Change

I don't exactly know where we are or what we are supposed to be doing in this world, but I do know that I have to survive. The system, or whatever it calls itself, said that we were given a week's grace period, and after that, we were to survive an event.
