Huh???

"Are you alright?"

Maui is lying on his bed when Angelina enters his room.

He was going to get up when she said, "You don't have to get up. You are still injured, so rest for a week."

"How is she doing?"

"She's stronger than you so she's okay and already can move."

"How about Alex, who will guard him?"

"I couldn't find a replacement for you because everyone was focused on their mission. In the meantime, he will be all by himself. So, if something happens to him, he can look after himself, right?"

"Yeah."

He remembers that Alex can fight on his own unless the opponent is stronger than him.

Alex is a normal person, hence he would not get into a fight, right?

He is very popular among many people due to his recent excellent actions.

The likelihood that he will get into a fight is lower than he believes.

"Just relax in the meantime, and when you're fine, you'll resume my order, okay?"

"Yes, mistress."

"Good."

She gave one final glance before leaving the room.

…

As always, he helps people until now.

However, the night was about to fall so he bids farewell to the construction workers who are remodeling the chapel.

This is the same chapel where he donates money.

He waves his hands when they see him heading home.

Walking into the streets, he couldn't help but reflect on how his life had changed since receiving the system.

If he didn't have his system, he might have merely continued his studies and been an adventurer.

As someone who enjoys the Isekai fantasy setting, this was the only job option he could think of.

However, he understands that such a career is difficult to pursue.

He could be wounded or even killed if he makes the wrong move.

He suddenly smells something awful.

"Wait, it's me!"

He goes to an alleyway and pulls out a crest-like object.

He imbued his mana into the crest-like creature, and it suddenly glowed.

/Spell: Clean.

/Command: Body

This coin-sized magic item is referred to as a portable magic called Cleansing.

It may generate the magic encoded into the crest simply by imbuing it with mana.

Unfortunately, unlike any other magic instrument, this is only a replica of the original design, therefore its use is limited to half a year.

It's quite rare to discover a magical item like this, so he purchased it when he spotted it on the market.

Since everything was clean, he decided to keep walking.

*clack

A dagger was ready to strike his head, but he ducked it and it hit the wall.

He immediately activates his Auto Weak Point skill and runs towards the exit.

Every step he makes, their attack stops his momentum, but he refuses to be stopped.

Unfortunately, as he is about a meter from the exit, a figure in a dark cloak approaches and throws him deeper into the alley.

Even though everyone were looking around, no one noticed or realized anything had happened here.

Alex has no method of fighting that guy, so he runs farther down the alley, trying to find an exit on the other side.

He can see that the stranger is approaching him.

He is extremely calm right now, until two, three, four, no—five.

Five people are after him.

They are gradually approaching him.

"Woah!"

The fact that they are attacking him makes him nervous because they are so near to him.

*Boom

Finally, an attack struck his body, but because to his refresh passive skill and Auto Weak Point skill, he was able to avoid a more serious wound.

He considered using the active skill of his refresh talent, but there was a risk he wouldn't be able to escape, so he decided to save his life and call for aid instead.

He called a random person and hung up.

He doesn't have much time, so he hopes that anyone he calls understands why he ended the call.

All of his contacts are people he is close to, so they will immediately notice that anything has happened to him.

That is what he thought, and he hopes he is correct.

The five men stand menacingly together, each wearing a dark cloak.

The taller man stomps his boots against his torso and inquires, "Where is she?"

"Who is she?"

"Do not make fun of us. Her scent is on your body, therefore it's easier to tell us where she is."

"I don't know what are you talking about."

"I understand. We've been told to kill everyone who is close to her, so we'll assist you keep your vow.

Suddenly, a sword appeared in his hand.

Alex has no idea what's going on, but he's not new to this type of situation.

He had previously watched a similar show, but this always happens to a useless character, who eventually dies.

Regardless of the cause, that character will always perish.

However, he has no time to compare himself to that person; he has a system, so he must be a main character, right?

He is… but only satisfied with his beliefs.

Unfortunately, his strength isn't sufficient.

His body could no longer move.

Even if he uses the refresh skill, his survivability is already zero.

So he decided to use it because he thought a plot armor might happen to him but as expected, they were able to apprehend him immediately.

Even though he doesn't know, he has the impression that the person in front of him is ten times stronger than his aunt.

"Die"

With a death glare, the taller man swung his blade towards his head.

His head falls, and notices how clean the cut was.

The tall man wiped the blood on his sword and they disappeared.

…

The End.

The 105th year of the Holy Calendar.

May City, Kingdom of Nila.

Inside the city, an open shop can be found near the protective wall.

"A new day has come…"

Alex Hambell yawned as he got out of bed.

He thought he heard a strange sound coming from nowhere.

"Am I having hallucinations?"

Surprised, he exclaimed.

"The system has been established to the Host."

An unexpected voice interrupted his thoughts.

"System?"

He could not suppress his pleasure when he realized what he had heard.

"Yes!"

Alex, pleased, raised his fists in the air.

He'll be able to cheat in life with his new system!

He didn't know what his new system was for.

He has several ideas for many types of systems.

He was immediately drawn to the thought of being able to beat up anyone he didn't like.

If that were the true, men of exceptional skill would bow down to him, and all women would drool over him.

What an adventure!

At that instant, he heard a voice within his skull say, "The **** System is at your service."

"What on earth is going on?"

Alex Hambell felt the air around him freeze as he remained shocked for a while.

He is perplexed as to why he did not acquire an overpowering system such as a potion or weapon system, as seen in the webnovels he has read.

He is more perplexed as to why there is a bug in the system.

Because of this, he had no understanding how this system worked.

However, he believes he should be grateful because, in his new life, he has received a system that can assist him, correct?

"This system is f*cking trash!"

He could not help but cuss.

"Please do not curse at the system," the woman's voice repeated in his consciousness.

"Since this is the host's second-time offense, you will received your punishment."

"Huh? How is this the second-tim—!"

Suddenly, an electric charge strikes his body.

He cries loudly, yet no sound can be heard outside his house.

With the smell of smoke, he falls down and loses consciousness.

AFTERWORDS:

.

.

.

Welp, Volume 1 is over.

Volume 1 titled "The Gathering" is my experiment area.

I'm literally gathering storylines and characters that I can utilize to make a narrative for the Volume 2 because I'm still a newbie despite having written some fanfiction that I couldn't finish other than [Ao].

As for Volume 2, I opted to create what I believe to be a unique story about regression.

However, instead of "along with memories or knowledge" stuff, the only things that return are the rewards and other items and skills he received before his regression.

I haven't read any stories like this before, so I figured it would be a unique story.

Yeah… only unique and don't raise your expectations that this will be a good story since I couldn't promise that.

The title of Volume 2 has yet to be selected, but my initial thinking is "Becoming the richest person from receiving a bugged system." or something like that.

Yeah, a typical light novel title.

And don't worry, the story in volume 2 will evolve… somehow… maybe? and the spread of the smartphone will remain in this novel because it is the key concept.

By the way, the unsolved stories involving the characters of 402, 210, 212, and the boss, will be continue in volume 2 with additional characters, but I will write solely on the author's thoughts.

Thank you for reading and see you later.
