27 You're Trash.

Spiderman! No, it was more likely that it was someone who dressed like Spiderman. That's what Linley assumed.

Linley met face to face with this new person.

"Is it even appropriate to call you the Baron's son or Linley at all? Because you are just some random naive retard who just possessed someone's else body."

"You're a reincarnate!" Linley stated the obvious from what he could infer from his opponent's words.

"Yes I am, and guess what?" Spiderman punched at Linley's face.

Linley who had felt his sense had been dulling and his body wasn't up to par like usual. Linley tried to dodge but ended up taking a fist to his face.

Linley's body was sent back flying a bit into the air as his nose was broken from that blow.

'System. Analyze and help me fight this guy.' Linley thought immediately to his system.

His system unlike before, has now not responded to him. Linley felt frustrated and confused at his System's newfound silence.

'System. System... Hello?' Linley kept trying to message his system, but all of his efforts amounts to nothing.

"Judging by the look on your face, you're trying to rely on the System's analytical ability. Kid, do you not imagine what would happen if you don't have a system at your beckoning?" Spiderman said.

"What?" Linley was confused about what his enemy was on about.

"Our systems are apart of our souls. Do you not know what happen to the system when we receive attacks to our souls?" Spiderman did a light explanation that was easy to interpret upon.

Linley's eyes widened in shock and fear.

There was an advantage and disadvantage to everything. The System can grow along with the soul. But it can also be weakened or be damaged along with the soul.

Linley still stand back up as he realized something in hopes of still winning the fight.

Spiderman seen through his thoughts and punched Linley in his solar plexus in rage. Again and again. Multiple times at least. Linley was helpless and did nothing but grit his teeth as he take those anger-induced blows.

Linley could only use Perfect Control Battle-Qi and Weapon Mastery because of the System. Without the system, those abilities are impossible to use. Since Linley has not learn them personally himself.

Even the Heaven Grade Battle Technique Linley had couldn't be used unless Linley wanted to kill himself just by starting it up.

"Do you think I'm relying on the system?! Just to bully you. Don't fucking kid yourself. Anyone who worth their salt never rely on that useless garbage when it come to fighting people. Only retards rely on such a thing." Spiderman yelled at Linley.

Spiderman then let Linley fell to the ground. Linley tried to gasp for air. But Spiderman kicked him and sent him rolling across the ground.

"Don't you have at least the Sharingan, you Narutard. I bet you had an orgasm when you got the Naruto World connection didn't you. After all, those things you exchanged are things that belong to Sasuke. Only Sasuke know his path, yet you probably imitated him because he look cool or fun to self-insert as. Isn't that right you piece of garbage?!" Spiderman taunted Linley with a rant.

'Yeah, but aren't you the one dressed up as Spiderman?!' Linley retorted in his thoughts.

"..." Linley didn't want to respond back since he was in livid pain. His pain tolerance was still actually little. Don't think because of the fight against Roland, Linley's pain tolerance suddenly increased all of a sudden. Pain still hurt regardless. Spiderman knew exactly how to adjust his strength to deal appropriate level of damage that can ensure optimal and highest amount of pain that can be dealt on Linley's body.

Linley stood up and performed certain hand signs. Lightning energy seems to gathered in his hand. He had made a Chidori in his left hand and charged at Spiderman as fast as he could with all the strength he had in his body right now.

In the end, it didn't matter.

Spiderman look like he didn't care about the attack at all. Spiderman had simply grabbed Linley's wrist apart of the arm which was holding the Chidori right exactly before it lands on Spiderman's chest. Spiderman then snapped Linley's wrist and did a casual chop with his open hand at Linley's vulnerable arm.

Crush! Snap!

Linley's left arm was broken. The bones were probably fractured and muscle's fibers are probably torn.

"Arghhh!" Linley screamed in pain.

"You who lack any form of creativity or even pride in a sense of individuality are truly garbage. Imitating others just to make yourself look better. If that isn't trash, then I don't know what is. Have you ever depended on just yourself?" Spiderman said.

Spiderman did a uppercut at Linley's chin. This time Linley wasn't sent flying because Spiderman was holding him by the wrist. Spiderman then punched Linley in the face multiple times once more.

"Do you know what it's like to actually live? I bet you when you first came to in this life, you probably didn't gave a rat's ass about your parents or friends from your past life one bit at all. Maybe a thought or two at most then long forgotten in the passage of time itself. In this new life, you just go wow, fantasy, harem, fun, adventure and whatever the fuck you think you can get." Spiderman preached.

Linley's expression darkened as Spiderman kept telling him the truth of his situation. Linley has never once thought about his parents or friends in his past life, and was instead trying to focus at the present and future. Linley had read too many novels and assumed moving away from the past is key to progression just like in those novels. But in reality, lacking those sentiments truly made him feel like garbage once that thought had passed by for the first time in this life in his mind.

Spiderman grabbed Linley by the neck with one of his hand and started choking Linley. Spiderman slowly lifted Linley from the ground into the air. Linley was struggling to move the arm that was lifting his throat and body.

Linley's throat was getting tighter and he was struggling to breath as Spiderman lifted his clenched hand higher and higher.

"Not only that, you're probably think you think you're some hotshot now. Just because you took someone's else body doesn't mean you are that person. That original person had a life of their own, people who cared about that person. Someone like you deserve nothing in this new life, because you do only have nothing in this current life that belongs to you." Spiderman said.

Spiderman did a choke slam to Linley into the ground. Firmly planting Linley's body in the ground, it was as if Linley became a part of the floor afterwards. Linley struggled to get back up.

Linley was listening with a face that was completely dejected. After all, his enemy was not speaking lies, but merely words. And sometime words can hurt much more than just physical injuries. The saying of that the pen can be mightier the sword was not wrong in context.

Linley got his legs back up somehow and was barely standing. As Linley forced himself to stand. Linley was trying bear his sense of this burning shivering sensation of pain that was ringing out through his entire body. It was extremely unconformable.

"Do you think the world revolves around you? A random idiot who only got a bit lucky. Let me tell you this. There are people in this world willing to make rivers filled with blood, bones, and tears of other. What about those lives? No matter how insignificant a life may be. It still has some value. Or are you some psycho who look at this world as if it's just a video game of some kind. The lives of peasants, bandits, and the rest you may look at as trash probably all lived a better life than your worthless past life." Spiderman ranted.

Linley who was barely standing collapsed into the ground. Losing the will to even fight out this battle. After all looking back now, Linley did took the lives of bandits. Human lives without hesitation, simply because he looked down at them and never even recognize them as even people on his level. This was something that no modern-day raised in a peaceful and well-educated environment person would ever do unless it was an extreme situation. But Linley did it anyway because simply put, he just imitated the main characters in the novels he liked.

Can that even be considered as a good reason? Any modern-day logical and rational person would say no.

Even if they were bandits, they were still people struggling to survive compared to his past life where he was just an otaku who did nothing but be a parasite to society and his family members. Compared to those bandits, they at least tried to get their own opportunities no matter how poor the situation it may be for them, while Linley took things for granted and never truly tried his best at opportunities he should have long taken advantage of.

"What? You're giving up already. Wow, you're garbage. Well too bad." Spiderman appeared to not gave a damn as he launched a kick at Linley, who didn't want to struggle anymore.

Linley felt only bitter pain so far. Both physically and mentally. He only wanted to rest now. Linley realized his self-worth was plain to nothing, and without the System he was just a piece of garbage waiting to be thrown out.

'What's the point of living anymore? Living a depressed life of mediocrity compared to others who can experience their fantasies. How sick does one's mind have to be able to want to live through that?' Linley thought to himself.

Linley felt like he wanted to burrow himself in a hole just so he can crawl in and die by himself. He didn't want to deal with anything anymore.

Linley was laying on his back lacking the will to even protect himself.

Stomp! Stomp!

Spiderman placed one of his foot over Linley and then begin stomping on Linley's chest.

Linley's bruised and broken body laid in a puddle of his own blood. Spiderman kept stomping on Linley chest. With each and every stomp, Linley spurted blood.

Crack! Crack!

Linley's rib cage was giving out now. The bones there were broken as well. The damage was too much for a person to take. Eventually even Spiderman feel bored and distasteful of his actions now.

Spiderman who easily stole Linley's Sword of Kusangi right before this fight even begun. Spiderman with a simple hand gesture had shot a web sling at Linley's sword that was originally far away from the fight and pulled it towards himself. Spiderman then easily grabbed the sword as it flew towards him. Spiderman had wielded the sword in a reverse grip.

"A nerd dying by his own favorite weapon. You should rejoice that something like you can receive this type of death. Now die!" Spiderman was about to perform a downward thrust at Linley through his chest, through his heart specifically.

Almost nothing could stand in Spiderman's way.

A blurry shadow line moved across the area and into the air. Then a stiletto was stabbed into Spiderman's throat completely tearing a massive chunk out of his neck, and then another stiletto was stabbed into the forehead of Spiderman himself.

Do not think Spiderman didn't see this one coming. He had spidey-sense, a sixth sense, a precognition related ability essentially.

Spiderman was actually instead shocked when he first saw the person who attacked him.

It was an elf maid. Melarue. Linley's maid. What was more surprising is that the person who's hiding behind the Spiderman costume seems to have recognize Melarue and had felt shock when seeing her.

Melarue noticed this expression of shock but to choose to ignore it as she took advantage of it. It was such an opening, that Melarue couldn't easily resist to take advantage of.

Spiderman who was hit in his vital areas could only collapsed at first into unconsciousness.

Melarue who had believed to have taken out her foe. She now had a look at her young master who was beaten and stained in blood. His whole body was covered in bloodied bruises, his left arm was broken, and his face looks like to be swelling from getting hit a lot there. She couldn't help but hold a look of worry on her face.

"Is that you Melarue? You should just leave me here to rot and die." Linley spoke out of concern for his maid and not for himself.

Melarue ignored her young master's suggestion as she then grabbed her young master's sword. Then she carried her young master in a bridal carrying position.

"Melarue. You don't have to do this. I am worthless and not even fit to be your young master. I'm not even your young master! I'm just a fake, someone who took his body. I'm sorry for even wasting all your precious time." Linley spoke quickly even the truth without hesitation just in attempt to no longer being feel like being a burden.

Linley felt bad for burdening a person he should never have burdened with at all.

"Shut up! Young master, you're clearly not in the right state of mind. As your maid, I must attend to you even in your mental illness." Melarue smiled and ignored Linley's words.

"You..."

"Young master, I'm doing this out of my volition. Not because of mere loyalty to the Baron. So don't worry and just rely on me. Even in your darkest times, as long as I'm still alive and breathing. I'll still be there. So do not worry Young Master." Melarue smiled as she spoke her reassuring words.

"..." Linley felt like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his maid's devotion and her denial of the truth.

"Young master, you still need to smile more. There'll be times, where I won't be there to smile for you. Therefore if I'm gone, just promise me to smile hard enough just for you and me." Melarue spoke her words.

Linley who felt like he was suffering before, now felt he was at ease in his elf maid's arms. Then Linley fainted.

Melarue with her young master in hand begin running away from the scene of this fight.

Eventually Melarue had ended up encountering a white armored knight who somehow ended up standing in her way. It was Ark with his own personal agenda.

"Elf maid, gave me your young master and I will give you a quick and painless death. Be in my way and your death will be slow and painful." Ark threatened with his sword directed at her.
