Chapter 4: Invitation

Chapter 4: Invitation

It's finally morning after a lot of attempts to learn all of the magic I can currently use I didn't notice when I'd fallen asleep. The only thing I could remember was lying down on the cold floor whilst I heard a knock that woke me up from my sleep. It was the innkeeper that told me that breakfast was ready

"Good morning... Sir your breakfast is ready,"

"Ughh, I can't even enjoy my bed, maybe at a later date. I need to get ready, the sun isn't that bright im guessing it's five in the morning?" He opened the window inlaid on his room to see a peaceful morning without hearing a person cuss. He kept on staring into the wilderness till he was confronted by his body which alert him of his needs

'My stomach's getting more cranky... Looks like it's not that obedient to wait a while longer. I need to eat some food before I start my path of leveling up. There's going to be a big day ahead of me,'

[System: You've learned Haste - A spell that can increase the player's speed for a short period of time

Spd increase: 50%

Mp: 10p]

[System: You've learned Ignite - A fire attribute spell that can start a small spark in an area of effect chances of applying burns

Magic damage: 15

Mp: 10]

[System: You've learned Shock - A electric attribute spell that shoots out an electrical current that can cause paralysis

Magic damage: 25

Mp: 15]

'I can learn a lot more than that but that's crossing the rules of my book what exactly I can and cannot do? Killing is legal here even theft as long as it's not in the city anything's allowed since you can blame it all on the monsters. Aside from that rapid progression on leveling is seen as a cheat. There's no need for an explanation once you're caught your gonna get killed by the Game masters. You can only dodge this if you're contracted with a deity which explains why they have an incredible growth rate,'

'Theirs a limit to my skills as well there's no actual limit to say but having more skills than your level can will be seen as a cheat. Your die as soon as you slip, my current level can only grant me five skills I've only learned four of them. As much as I know all the spells in my story and how to use them there's a limit to what I can do and that's my magical power,'

"Thanks for the food" He sat down and fill his stomach till he was a bloated balloon after resting for a couple of minutes he enters his room. Once he got ahold of his staff, and place his sword on his back he officially began his journey

His appearance in his story, wouldn't appear in his current timeline, so before that could ever occur he wanted to grow. If he wishes to walk freely in this world, someone as weak as he would need to acquire some power. Not that much to be called a talent but enough for him to live for another day

"It has to be here... It's such an important easter egg, I should remember it. I wouldn't forget such a valuable thing. I know I placed it near the starter city," He finds himself entering a forest in hopes of finding something he had written about in his book

"Graahh!!!" Suddenly a monster scream would be heard from his back, followed by a swing of its weapon. Morris quickly dodges whilst its weapon knocks a few branches of a nearby tree. He evades its slow attack even for someone like him to predict

[System: Hidden monster called [Butcher] the gigantic ogre has been discovered]

'Why the hell am I always meeting a crisis everywhere I go? At least this guy was the one im looking for, I need to kill him before anyone else spots what im about to do. He doesn't drop any experience points but what's special about this guy is that he drops rare items,'

"Oi Butcher come follow me you son of a bitch!!!" He flipped his middle finger and sticks his tongue which triggers the monster in response

By the time he caught its attention, he ran away from the butcher that blindly follows him into an open area. It was the perfect area that was far far away from the city and its prying eyes. Once it took a step forward one of his spells triggered which resulted in the form of an explosion

Spd: 25

Def: 8

Mp: 15

Stm: 8

Unused points: 10

Overall rating: You've gotten a little faster than before even a little stronger yet you're still alive. I guess some trash would desire to struggle before listening to someone's advice]

[System: You've invested 10 points to increase mp. Overall ratings: Your magic power has increased since last time. At least your trying to increase something you're naturally good at. Still, you're far beyond from surviving this place, good luck asshole]

"That's a lot better I can finally do this" He tries to combine ignite and shock that caused an explosion to kill the damaged ogres

[System: You've killed a monster, the collected experience will now be given]

[Combining two spells to create a powerful attack!!? My eyes didn't deceive me, at last, I found someone capable!!!]

'Ughh, that last one took all of my mp even the ones stored on my staff. How the fuck is this guy even alive!!?"

Amidst the explosion, he created emerged the Butcher who was badly injured, yet it still has the strength to attack. Morris was exhausted from all that casting, his body was at its limits he can only accomplish was to escape. The Butcher chased him until he finally ran out of time

[System: The body of the player is being forcefully moved by their sheer will of survival. The player's stamina has reached zero, any further movement will result in a backlash. Every movement you exert will bring a surge of incredible pain in your body]

'"It's now or never please make it!!! My fragile piece of shit of a bone, don't give you dare give up on me!!!! Arggggghhh!!! It fucking hurts!!!" His body was about to lose its strength and the Butcher lunges forward. It soars from the air and it chose to land near Morris's location

He jumps away in time before the Butcher lands on his position, and the butcher was surprised. It fell to fall into a trap made by a man who perfectly read every one of its moves along with its finisher. A trap personally made for the Butcher alone to counter its every move and the only thing it saw was its body getting impaled. Dozens of pointy wood would pierce its body, it tried its hardest to escape

Though that thought of escaping disappeared when from its mind when it saw Morris on top of the hole."Ignite!!!"

He cast his final spell into the narrow hole which slowly burns his target whilst he catches his breath

[Impressive, have you thought about my offer...? Brave, player do you want to become my avatar? I trust you know the right answer after I showed you my authority]

[System: You've got an invitation to be an Avatar would you accept or decline]

'I forgot about that... I don't care what kind of deity he is as long as I have a system. I can make it work. There's no way I'll regret ever making a contract~'

[System: You've accepted The Forgotten Sages invitation. You've now become his avatar]

Silence filled the air and his smile slowly deteriorates after learning of the name of his contracted deity

'Be it fate or a coincidence, I would later come to realize that my encounter with him was the start of my troublesome life,'
