... Shit.
I sighed after hearing all about my biggest obstacles in this world. The worst thing is that those 9 protagonists are not my only problem.
They are humanity's weapons of mass destruction, but just as the big countries not only have nuclear bombs, I still have to deal with missiles, heavy weapons, and soldiers...
This is only my second 'Theme' type world but I'm already tired of these stupid chaotic worlds...
"And what of our allies?" – I massaged my forehead.
"There are the beastkin tribes, the elves, dwarves, giants, demons, and practically all the inhuman races that makeup about 70% of the intelligent population of this world" - Witch smiled.
I looked at this woman blankly. –"I will guess, all the strong warriors are dead or enslaved while the current Inhumans are so weak that even with their numbers they are not able to attack a single human city"
"You understood the situation quickly, very surprising" - Witch nodded ironically. – "The Inhumans used to have powerful warriors who could face and kill the best warriors of humanity so both groups were at peace, but with the arrival of the Reincarnated that balance was lost, and all our best warriors were killed, captured, or turned into trophies"
Witch waved her hand creating a small cloud of smoke which showed some images. – "In addition to the Reincarnated, there are more than 1000 human generals with the power to destroy entire cities and although some of our warriors have the same strength, for some reason our attacks are useless against the Reincarnated..."
Witch sighed. – "With my prophecy magic I was able to see the secrets of the Reincarnated, but I don't know who gave the Reincarnated strange skills, the only thing I am sure of is that the deity or legendary being who did this has no good intentions"
And that's how I got involved with a Higher Entity again, I'm sure of it. Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
I just hope that entity doesn't appear in this world out of anywhere or things will become troublesome as this world seems to lack adequate means to retain a Higher Entity...
[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says that a Higher Entity will not appear in this world as long as the user does not try to search for that entity]
Thanks, is good to know.
Perhaps the entity that gave those idiots skills as an experiment and then scrapped them after noticing that Reincarnates can't kill other Higher Entities, which isn't that strange since Higher Entities sometimes do troublesome experiments that create problems for others worlds.
Why do they do it?
Experiments, curiosity, deep and complex plans... There are many options, but the biggest reason is that the boredom of an immortal entity is something that cannot be underestimated.
I shook my head. – "It is better if you stop investigating this matter and we focus on dealing with the current problems"
Witch looked at me curiously. – "Do you know anything about the entities capable of giving these skills?"
Technically I am one of those entities, but I lack resources, information, and interest.
I smiled wryly. – "The universe is big, it is not good to think about this for now"
Witch seemed to be drowning in curiosity, but she still nodded and showed me a scroll with a map on it. – "Two kilometers to the north there is a human city where we can buy some inhuman slaves to start forming our own forces, I have a lot of gold accumulated so you can pretend to be a merchant"
Although I don't care about unimportant things like the rights of living beings, the subject of slaves generates a new concern for me.
"Don't you have subordinates?" – It is not good that we are only two people to face all humanity.
"I have some subordinates, but they are busy making preparations in other cities" – Witch smiled at me. – "I have been preparing a war against humans for two years, I cannot be careless"
I nodded, I like this woman.
"What do you think of mind control?" – I asked while I focused on Witch's body language and spiritual frequency to see her true feelings.
"It's defective" - Witch denied while sighing. – "I don't know how the worlds you visited have been, but in this world, mind control magic was obsolete centuries ago, so it is not a good option"
"A sleeping spell" - Witch smiled at me.
Magic is convenient.
We entered the interior of the cave, the smell was quite unpleasant, but it was something to be expected from the bandit hideout.
Let's see, 10 cliché bandits, a fat man with a sword wound on his shoulder who appears to be a merchant, and four women with animalistic features and heavy steel shackles around their necks.
"A slave trader" – Witch frowned disdainfully at the fat man who was unconscious. – "Humans are disgusting..."
I rolled my eyes. - "I'm human"
"You are not a human of this world" - Witch smiled as she shrugged.
"Whatever, anyway, I share your thought that humans are idiots" - I sighed. – "Do you want to help these women?"
Witch looked at me in surprise. – "Oh, I thought you would add them to your harem as sex slaves or something like that"
...
"Hey Listen! That is an excellent idea!" – I hit Navi on the ground and kept my foot on what should be his face.
"I don't have a strange fetish for enslaving women" – I sighed, but before I could explain better about the structure of my harem, I frowned when I felt someone approaching at high speed. – "Someone is coming at great speed, he will arrive in a minute"
"I put location magic on the Reincarnated so it must be a human-looking for the bandits or an Inhuman wanting to save her friends" – Witch shrugged.
I sighed, everything sounds troublesome. – "Take these people to the cabin, later I will do some experiments, meanwhile I want to see what the person who is to come is like"
The person's speed is comparable to a Master level martial artist so I'm curious about this person.
Witch nodded and chanted a spell that made the people and valuables in the cave disappear, then she was covered with purple mist and turned into a raven.
"A raven?" – I raised an eyebrow.
The raven stood up on my shoulder. – "My face is known among humans and there is a great price for my head so it is better if I stay hidden"
Well, I like animals so this is fine.
"Damn bastards!" – At the entrance of the cave a 15-year-old boy appeared, his expression was full of fury while his hands held a rusty sword.
The boy looked like he was about to have a mad battle, but when he looked at me his face was filled with confusion. – "And the bandits?"
I sighed and patted the raven's head on my shoulder. – "I don't know, those idiots captured my pet so I came looking for them, but they had already disappeared, luckily my pet was here"
The boy looked at me suspiciously and then I felt something strange in his eyes.
[System Notification: An skill to read minds has been detected.
Use 'Mythomania' to deceive the enemy or allow the enemy to see the user's mind?]
"He is a human favored by destiny..." – Witch she sent me a telepathic message. – "It is better to kill him as soon as possible, these types of people are the ones who tend to become generals of humans"
This world is a fucking mess...
[System Notification: The enemy has been allowed to see the user's mind]
The boy's eyes widened in horror. - "What are you....?!"
The boy could no longer speak as blood began to flow from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. The most striking thing is that his blood had turned black.
In a matter of seconds, the boy fell to the ground as his expression was emotionless, and although his body was still breathing, his mind no longer existed.
"Ortro, check the information in this person's mind" – I sent a message to my loyal companion.
I keep various barriers that cover my mind and in case someone tries to read my mind, that person will only see artificial thoughts and unimportant information like stories I have read or some movies I have seen.
If the person strives to see the depths of my mind, the person will fall into a mental labyrinth that will corrupt his mind, and the further he goes into the labyrinth, the greater the insanity.
In case the person can get to the core of my thoughts or in case I give access to the person, the only result is that Ortro will devour the person's mind through [Reader's Madness], [Outer God], and Ortro's innate abilities.
"What did you do to him?" – Witch returned to her real form and approached the boy who lay motionless on the ground. – "He is not dead, but he does not seem to be alive either..."
I shrugged and pointed to my head. – "That happens when people try to enter here, do not give it much importance"
Witch sighed at my vague response and then used a spell to teleport the boy's body. – "Well, at least this will help me make more potions"
Alchemy based on using human bodies?
Maybe she can help me develop my skill [Human Transmutation]... Coming to this world was a good choice.

First I have exams and now my computer is dying.... I hate life.
Anyway, the only good thing is that I can blow off steam writing this novel.
