1 The First Tale: Into The New World
Hi everyone, my name is Theodore Dee, but everyone calls me Teddy Bear. No this isn't due to me being fat or anything. In fact, I'm the total opposite. You can describe me as a tall, but weak and scrawny teenage boy. The reason why they call me Teddy Bear is because, as they say, when you hug me, you'll feel like you are hugging a pillow or Teddy Bear. I don't get where they got this from. How can a skinny guy give off a pillow feeling? Well that's not important because today is my 17th birthday and I am one step closer to adulthood. I'm going to study hard and will become a hero who will save the world one day. Sounds like an absurd idea? I get that a lot too, but that is what motivates me to do my best in school. I've been a loser and weaklings all my life, I hate it. Therefore, I shall become someone who is idolize by everyone.
I wonder what presents are my friends planning to give me at my surprise party. Yeah, someone actually ruin the surprise by accidentally mentioning it in front of me. Just thinking about it makes me excited.
"Car honking*
"Hey young lady! Move out of the way! The light is green!"
Huh? Someone is crossing the street without looking again. Thank god, that driver stop in time.
"Honk, honk*
"Everyone, move out of the way! My car's brake broke!"
Oh shit! That young miss is wearing earphones, I don't think she heard the man! What should I do? Think Ted! Think! Goddamn it!
*Ran toward the girl and push her away*
*Car ran into me*
"Oh no! Someone call 911 immediately! This boy been hit! You are going to be ok. Help is coming soon so stay with me!"
"I know that I won't be able to make it in my condition. So please tell my family and friends that I loved them and I'm sorry.", I said with all of my remaining energy.
*Close my eyes and died*
I live my life as a weak loser, but at least I died as a hero. If only I could continued to be one.
"Congrats Ted! You have been chosen by God to be the host of the Emperor of Overlords System. Would you like to be reborn into another world? Please choose 'Yes' or 'No'."
Another chance at life in another world with a system? Of course, the answer is Yes!
"The host has answered 'Yes', now beginning the process of reincarnation to the World Of Knight Fantasy. Have a good trip!"
*Suck into a crimson black hole*
*Fall down from the sky and the ground*
"Ow my back. Can't you be a gentler when dropping me off next time.", I asked as I tried to get up. "Now let's start my new adventures in this world."
I open the system and look at my status.
Level 1, STR 0, DEX 0, SPD 0, INTL.... -5!?
Are you calling me stupid? How can I be stupid when I'm a straight A's student?
'The negative points here isn't mainly about the host outside intelligence, but also internal intelligence. You may be smart on the outside, but you are still an immature little boy on the inside, which usually leads you to make dumb mistakes and put your life in danger. For example, you got hit by a car and died because you want to save a pretty girl.'
I don't see anything wrong with that. You don't need a reason to save someone's life right? That's like Superhero 101 right there.
'Would you do the same if its was that dude, whom you hate so much, from your English Class.'
Hmm.....Good point. You got me there.
'Beep! A the mission "Path To Knighthood" has been given to the host. Within one year get promoted to Captain Of Knights or Paladin. Reward: 100,000 knighthood points, Sword Of Vanquish, Ten Excalibur Lost Divinity Fragments, Dark Paladin Armor, Dark Paladin Helmet, and Dark Paladin Amulet. Punishment For Failing: DEATH.'
Knights? Paladins? Captain? So this world system is based on ancient fantasy games. Now if I'm correct, I should find a monster lurking somewhere in this forest so I better get out of here before any of them finds me.
*Liquid dropping on my head*
Is it raining? It's really weird that this rain smell like saliva or drool of an animal.
Grrr!
Ok, that does not sound like rain.
*Look up*
"Oh shit! What the hell is that thing!", I screamed.
'You have unlock a mandatory mission, The Wolf Slayer. Please kill that White-horned Shadow Wolf. Reward: 1000 knighthood points, access to the system's shop, and Swordsman Armor Set. Punishment For Failure: The host's birdie get slain.'
"You want me to kill that thing with my current status!?", I replied in fear, "At least give me some starter weapons or skills that I can use to fight!"
'The system could loan you a Rookie Knight Weapon Set, but 100 knighthood points will be taken off from your reward. Do you want to continue?'
Deal!
'Now beginning to armed the host with the arsenals...complete. The host is now equipped with Knight Trainee Glory Armor and Lost-Divinity Excalibur.'
Am I really holding the legendary Excalibur in my hand? Awesome!
'Yes, but this is the weakened version of the real Excalibur so it only deals 1% of the damage that the original Excalibur can deal. Don't worry, you can still deal 16-30 damage with this sword.'
16 to 30 damage for a level 1 weapon? That doesn't sound really bad. The wolf's HP is 500 and no MP, while I have 100 HP and 100 MP to starts. This gap is no problem for a Professional Gamer like me. All I need to do is mainly focus on evading while attacking.
"I am going to cut you down, you stupid dog!", I yelled.
The beast roar at me with all of its might and try to crush me with its left front leg.
"That might work on those beginners, but not for this Mad Fantasy Gamer.", I smiled as I evade and cut its leg.
Critical Hit! -80 HP!
Sweet! Critical on first strike!
-30 HP X 8
Miss!
Damn it, I missed! This is getting more interesting. Come at me you bastard!
Critical hit! -100 HP
'Warning! Warning! The wolf is about to use Claw Of Death. The system advice the host to run away or dodge otherwise he will die if he get hit!'
Damn it! There no way I can dodge this attack with my current speed. My only choice to block it with my sword.
*Whoosh*
-99 HP. The host's life is in danger. Please run! Please run!
Run? There's no way I will give up when I just got another chance to be a hero!
'The host will and courage has lead to him unlocking the secret skill, Last Resort.'
Last Resort? From that name alone, I can already tell that this is a powerful skill that can only be use when I'm about to die.
'You are correct. Last Resort is a skill that can only be activate when the host HP is below 5. This skill gather all of the host remaining MP into one attack that deals 10x the maximum amount of the original damage the weapon can deal. In other words, if this shot hit, you can deal 300 damage to the wolf and defeat it, but you only have one shot at this.'
Thats all I need. System, activate Secret Skill: Last Resort!
'Last Resort activate!'
Aaaah!
*All MP focus on Excalibur and turn it in to a giant sword*
"Overlord's Emperor Secret Art: Overlord's Blade Of Judgement!", I announced as I slash down the sword at the beast. "This is the end!"
*Beast Fall down and died*
'Congratulation! The host has complete the mission, The Wolf Slayer.'
'You are now receiving 1000 Knighthood Points, Swordsman Armor Set, unlocking the system's shop, and 1000 EXP. 100 Knighthood Points has been deducted from the rewards
'The host has unlock the skill The Gluttonous Hunter. This skill let the host learn one skill of the beast or thing that he defeated.'
'Would you like to use it on this White-horned Shadow Wolf?'
Oh hell yeah!
'Understood, please choose one from the skill listed.'
1. Shadow Step
2. Claw Of Death
Hmm...Claw Of Death is a really powerful impact skill, but that can only use if I have a claw-like weapon and I don't have any at this time so Shadow Step is my only choice.
"System, I choose Shadow Step!"
'Now learning Shadow Step...complete.'
'Shadow Step: A skill that can let the user increase their speed while not making any sound while moving. A perfect skill for Assassin Class or for someone who just want to take down their enemy without attracting attention.'
Although this skill isn't as powerful as Claw Of Death, this skill is definitely useful until I get strong enough to fight head on with others.
'Would you like to use the current EXP to level up to level 3?'
Can I save it to level up later?
'That is an option if the host wishes to do that.'
Alright, let's save up EXP and points for later.
Now that the danger is over, it's time for me to head to the Kingdom and begin my new life here in the World Of Knight Fantasy.
