village chief

The group of children soon lost interest and walked away, leaving me alone.

"Hey, Xzson! You bastard! You're slacking off while leaving your work!" I was deep in thought when suddenly a muscular man shouted my name in anger and approached me with a wooden log. Seeing that I didn't reply, his anger burst, and he hit me with the log on my back.

"Aahhh!" I screamed and fell to the ground, feeling the unbearable pain. I looked at him with teary eyes and shouted, "Don't hit me!"

Upon hearing my shouting, his veins bulged on his head, and he started gritting his teeth. "You bastard! How dare you shout at me. You seem to have grown some wings; I should smash your testicles."

He grabbed my neck and lifted me into the air. I coughed and tried to break free, but I was powerless. I saw his eyes turn completely red with murderous intent. He moved his hand, about to hit my crotch.

"No, stop! Leave me!"

"Shut up! This is what you brought on yourself!"

"What's going on here?"

The muscular man released me from his hold when he saw an old man and three individuals walking toward us.

"Huff-huff-huff" I stumbled down and inhaled a breath of relief. My memories stirred, and I recalled that this old man was the village chief who always beat me and forced me to work.

"Village chief! I hope you are well. Has something happened that brought you here?" The muscular man's demeanor suddenly changed as he greeted him.

"I heard the commotion and came to see what was going on. Has this slave done something?" the village chief asked.

"Yes, village chief, this bastard was running away from his work. He even shouted at me!" The muscular man explained everything that had occurred. The village chief listened silently and nodded.

"Put this bastard slave in jail and beat him until he loses consciousness," he commanded. The three individuals immediately took me away and threw me into a cell. It was a cold, dark, and moist place with a small window that barely allowed any air inside.

The three individuals looked at me with grim smiles. They glanced at each other before one of them approached me with a rod.

"NO! Please don't... Aaaaah!... No! Aaaaaah!... Aaaaah!" I screamed constantly for an hour in anguish, enduring the torture. The man showed no intention of stopping anytime soon. But I noticed that they were laughing as they hit me with the rod, wearing the same expression as the students who bullied me in my helpless state.

"Why is this happening to me? What have I done to deserve a future fated to suffer and be beaten by others? Even though I have come to another world, nothing has changed. It is all the same." Tears streamed down my face as I pondered this helplessly, wondering if the torture would ever stop.

"This should be enough for him. If we continue, he could die, and we'll lose this slave. The chief will be mad at us."

"Then leave him. Listen here, you little sh#t, if you slack off again, you will be dead!"

The men left me unconscious. The marks of the rod were imprinted on my skin, which had turned completely red after the continuous torture. I was in disbelief that I had survived this torment. I felt like an empty shell, devoid of the power to talk or move.

Inside my mind, a robotic voice echoed.

(Host, are you okay?)

(No! You are not okay)

(Muscle injury and mental disorder detected in the host's body. Initiating self-heal.)

After the mysterious robotic voice echoed in my mind, my muscles began to heal. All the marks left by the men disappeared from my limbs, and my mind cleared of all depression and negative thoughts.

I opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings. I spotted a blue screen floating in front of me. It took some time to understand, but I eventually reached a conclusion about the unbelievable magic done by the voice. Slowly and politely, I asked, "Hey... what are you? And how did you heal me?"

(Host, this is the Cloning System! A system that allows you to create and control clones of anyone in the world. Moreover, by forming intimate connections with powerful beings, you can ascend in levels and strength. Host your level is too low, I suggest you increase your level)

I was frozen in place and my breathing stopped, I was still in delusion after the voice reached my ears "WHAT! Is that even possible"

(yes host! this is possible with a cloning system)

"No, that is not possible, you must be joking!"

(Host, I'm not giving you false information, I'm a cloning System and I can create clones of anyone you desire)

I swallowed my saliva and nodded my head hesitantly. I am still not sure if this is true or not, but when I travel to another and my luck never has been on my side, this least could be anything that could change my fate "I see, how can I make a clone? And become stronger? I don't want to be looked down with disdainfully. I want to stronger!"

(To create a clone, the Host needs to lock on target for a few seconds and then the system will automatically make your clone)

"But how can I become powerful up by making a clone," I said with confused looks how about can he level up just by making a clone?

(By having sexual intercourse with powerful existing beings in the world, You need to consume their power to strengthen)

I once again froze in place and stiffly replied "WHAT! you are kidding me, right?" 

I thought I had to kill some monster-like stories to level up and gain the power but this is the irony of what I was thinking

(No Host, killing monster wants to help you level up)

Wait you can read my mind! This system, having the power to read my thoughts, reassured me that the possibilities were indeed real.

I am surprised this system can read my mind.

(Yes host I can read your mind we can communicate through the mind without talking)

As I learn how to increase my strength, I couldn't help but to be taken aback.
