《Super Soldier System》


 1 Cliche Star

    *Bang*bang*bang


    Three shots rang out in quick succession in the near empty indoor shooting range.


    "Phew, all 3 targets hit, headshots, distance of 25, 50 and 75 yards, all done in the span of... 2.44 seconds, new personal best!"


    Looking at the clock on the wall, Jun realized it was getting quite late so he packed up his trusty glock-17 and saying goodbye to the owner, he went merrily home to his tiny apartment. For last few years since reaching the required age to legally own a firearm, gun training has been an everyday part of his life, all for his dream of being the best soldier he can be. An orphan, Jun didn''t have any family to speak of, he was just thankful that they cared enough to put him in one of the best orphanages.


    Jun didn''t dwell in the past long though, he didn''t hate his parents, they must have had their reasons, like being unable to provide a better life for him, plus he had a good life now. Soon Jun arrived at the bus stop where a bus was already unloading and loading passengers and hopped on quick.


    On the bus home Jun started thinking of the future ''After i graduate i''ll head straight to the army, already got the recommendations and the paperworks done, so im all set!'' getting off the bus Jun smiled at the thought of his bright future.


    ...Until he saw his apartment door busted wide open.


    Staring blankly for a while, he got his gun out of the case, loaded it with a full magazine and went in shouting.


    "You picked the wrong house fool!"


    Caught off guard by Jun suddenly coming home the intruders didn''t even had the chance to react when they got pumped full of lead.


    Two to the torso and One in the head each, with proficiency that he done this more than once.


    "F*ckers think they can steal my shi- Aargh?!"


    Suddenly hit from behind in the head with a


    bat. There was third guy...


    Quickly getting his bearings back Jun turned the third into swiss cheese. "F*cker, coming into my home uninvited, you got a taste of the 2nd Amendment, ah shi..."


    Jun''s sight is half-crimsom from blood, from his or the dead didn''t know which, but he didn''t have time to think for his vision was getting blurry.


    ''I''m blacking out...'' that was Jun''s last thought as he passed out. Sirens can be heard in the distance and police and emergency responders rush in but it was too late, 4 men dead...


    Jun and his three wannabe robbers...


    are dead.

 2 Isekai Baby

    ''Urgh my head... f*ckin got me good that b*stard, at least i got em in the end, he should be dead... wait, so, is this the hospital?''


    Lying on a large fancy bed, Jun sat up and scanned his surroundings, he realized he was in some fancy shmancy room with a comfy couch, large french windows, a table with sweets on it, a bookshelf... Basically things you find in some mansion in europe.


    It was clearly early in the morning by looks of the light shining from the window.


    "No, no..." in a state of denial while knowing in his heart no matter how strong the concussion he had, the hallucinations wouldn''t be this realistic, he knew what was going on but still shocked at the unexpected development. Sitting up from his comfy bed, Jun ran to the full-sized mirror near the drawer in the room, and confirmed his doubts.


    A blond boy, no older than 6 with dazzling azure eyes, wearing silk pajamas, is what is reflected on the mirror.


    "I''ve been isekai''d..." he muttered softly still realing from the shock of this supposedly unrealistic situation he found himself in. ''I died...'' he realized quickly.


    "Ok, calm down first Jun, you wanted to be soldier so get a grip, gotta see the whole picture and to do that i need to learn about this world but how, this body didn''t give me it''s former memo-"


    ''Oh no'' where his last thoughts as Jun blacked out again. For an unknown period of time to Jun, his new body unconscious on the floor, you can say he''s not having a good start to his second life. Then he woke up from his unwanted sleep again, but this time it was around noon now, again judging by light from the windows, and also someone put him back in his bed.


    Looking at edge of the bed, a loli maid could be seen drowsing off, ''She should be Sophie, my personal maid and around the same age as my new body'' Jun thought to himself as he used the new found knowledge that suddenly appeared in his head whilst he was asleep. By the way Sophie is a brown haired, brown eyed little beauty.


    "Now who am i?"


    That is the current question, sifting through the memories Jun pieced together his new identity.


    Jun Valheim Kalek, 5 years of age, 1st Prince of Kalend, one of the Big 4, the others being called Rulivs, Frevus, and Tealsk. What''s more suprising is the similarities of the countries to to other countries of his former life.


    Kalend is essentially German


    Rulivs are Ruskies


    Frevus are Frenchy bois


    And Tealsk are the god damn Tea lovers.


    A parallel world, that seems to be the most likely answer to this nonsense?


    But suddenly the loli maid started to wake up as he tried to think deeper but could only put it off for now.


    "Mmm, wha...?"


    "Good afternoon Sophie, did you sleep well?"


    "Ah, your majesty is awake!"


    "Yes, yes i am"


    "Your majesty you should be a lot more careful, when i went out for a minute i found out you got up and collapsed on the floor!"


    "Ah, ehehe, yeah i''ll be more careful next time"


    "You just got healed from accident last night so you should be really resting right now, so no getting out of bed unless i say so!"


    Yeah the accident is nothing more than the former hitting his head while tripping when he was running around. The former used to be incredibly clumsy at whatever he does. For example, when he was walking on a floor that''s flat, non-smooth, textured so to ensure you won''t slip, at a normal speed, guess what...


    He Fri*ckin Slipped.


    I''d be worried for the country who has this clumsy prince for a future leader, but not to worry, the Kalendian system of government is a ''Matriarchal Monarchy, which means i don''t have any right''s to the throne even if i wanted to. But i could careless, cause like a good isekai protaginist that suddenly found themselves in a body of high position, i don''t wanna rule, cause that''s a lot of work boi. Plus i still have my dream of being a soldier, cause as you know soldiers fight in battles, sure some kings go into campaign with their army, but that''s not what i want, i want to be knee deep in the ground that turned to mud thanks to a river of blood of both foe and allies, i want to fight tooth and nail with the enemy, to be under fire, and be Baptised by blood.


    I may be a little Masochistic, sure.


    Psychopathic, yep!


    A Madman that thirsts for Slaughter, Damn straight i am!


    A Sadist, you do not the depths of the abyss that is my mind...


    But that does change my dream!


    For I, Jun Valheim Kalek, and that''s to be the best soldier i could be!


    And no ones gonna get in my way.


    "Apple slices Your Majesty?"


    "Oh, don''t mind if i do"


    But not now, i still got a long way to go till i get there, just have to focus on growing up first.

 3 The Cas

    As i watched Sophies back walking out of the the room, and finally closing the door, i breath a sigh of relief, ''Finally some privacy'' i thought as i sift through all of the information and organize them. First, the structure of this world is of a fantasy setting, as in magic, monster, gods, you know generic and classic isekai novel stuff, you name it, it''s all here. Second, the countries, as i''ve there are only 4 you should really pay any attention to, and that is Kalend, Rulivs, Frevus and Tealsk.


    For more context let me explain all of them, First one is Kalend, as i''ve stated previously is my country and has a ''Matriarchal Monarchy'' system government, the royal family, my family, is surnamed Kalek for Kalend and consists of The Queen, my mama, Queen Lilian Kalek, The King, my papa, King Christopher Valheim, The 1st Prince, me and lastly my baby sister, The 1st Princess, Vivian Valheim Kalek, (she''s so adorable).


    The Queen, is judged to be a hard working, strong and independent woman, but to the former, she was a gentle, kind and loving mother, that always made just enough time for him and his sister. It''s weird suddenly getting parents like this, but you know gotta adapt quick to survive suddenly being isekai''d like i and possibly si many others have, so anyways.


    The King, A man of few words, cold as steel and with a gaze of fire, but, hehe, to us, papa is a clumsy man that can barely keep us in check, and love us with all his heart, he''s always there when my clumsiness start to act up, and worries more than mama.


    The 1st Prince, well you already know who i am, so no need for context there.


    And finally, the final member of the family, The 2nd Princess, my baby sister, is only 2 at the moment so she has no definined character to speak of just yet, but currently she is just an energetic little angel, that follows me like a duckling.


    She''s so adorable. (Sis-con in the making)


    Now for the country itself is specialized in one thing, Mana Crystals, this is the main reason for the matriarchal society Keland is today, for it is a widely known fact in this world that women have more affinity for magic, This is how Keland became known as the Land of Mages.


    As to why a five year old child would know this, coupled with highest education, mama and papa always answer all our little questions, including one time when the former asked what their job was, the former may have already forgotten about it, but i inherited all his memories, even forgotten ones shoved at back of the mind.


    Now for the other three, all three nations have the more traditional kind of monarchy, being that kings are of the highest authority in the countries and also each country is specialised in an area.


    Rulivs, has the highest dwarve to human ratio so thus dubbed the Country of Crafts while also having a large population, most industrialized cities and largest land mass, cause of course it is, it''s the otherworld version of Russia.


    Frevus, on the other hand is known for it''s many different arts, the art of winemaking, painting, or making cheese for that matter is considered art as, ''For every occupation is an artform'', is there slogan, thus they are aptly named The Kingdom of Arts.


    And so that brings us to our final contender.


    The Kingdom of Tealsk.


    They have the highest elf to human ratio in the 4 kingdom''s, and as we know elf''s are children of nature so they are natural farmer''s, they used to be a freedom loving nation, until ''that'' happened...


    They discovered Tea...


    Now, now let me explain, Tea in this world is not your typical tea, it is grown in very, very specific conditions, the soil, mana in the earth, humidity... so many things to factor in growing this Tea. But why do they care so much about tea?


    Simple, it has Mind and Soul purifying effects, to which the upper echelons of the country, The High Druid Council desperately want, for in order to be druid you''re mind and soul must be clear so as to communicate with nature easier. But, as i''ve said lands to grow Tea are specific, so the supply of Tea is never enough.


    But they won''t go crazy over Tea right?


    NO, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG, BOI.


    See, the lands they need to grow tea is mostly in Rulivs territory, so what do they do? Send negotiations as to aquire the land peacefully? No, they go to f*ckin war over it, and that''s been happening for the last 250 years and it''s still going strong to this day, the relations between the two nation''s are now in an


    irreparable state, the only hope for peace is when one is defeated by the other, and their at a stalemate.


    So, those are the basic information that the former knew, but as to any specific things happening currently i have no way to know, im just a 5 years old, what did you expect?


    Right now im more concerned about how to achieve my dream, aren''t isekai protaginists supposed to get red envelopes?


    A ring?


    An Old Grandpa?


    A System?


    (Yes, Host?)


    "Holy Shi-!"

 4 The System Appears!

    After calming down from almost getting a heart attack from the magically appearing system, which was not a nice experience by the way, i started getting details from this system of mine.


    "So System, what do you do?"


    (I am the Super Soldier System, here to help you achieve your dream of being a soldier)


    "Really?"


    Lifting an brow to this very convenient for me System i just aquired out of nowhere.


    (Yes)


    "Who created you system?"


    (I spontaneously existed ever since you came here approximately 14 hours ago but needed time to sort through the data and set up my services, so you are technically the reason for my existence Host)


    "Make me sound like a dad... ok, next question, what are your functions system"


    (I am responsible for your training and education to be the best possible soldier you could be)


    "So is there like missions or something?"


    (Yes, Host)


    "Soo... what''s first in the agenda?"


    To clarify, the former Jun''s life was quite carefree, he wasn''t an heir to the throne, so he didn''t have a strict upbringing, education or anyone to nag at him. At 10 he''ll be sent to rule a small territory or just roam around the world, this may seem a little cruel but trust me it isn''t, most just outright kill so there wouldn''t be a civil war, so this shows just how much his parent''s care for him. It''s his little sister that''ll be having a having a lot headaches in the future.


    (Awakening the hidden potential in your body)


    Oh by the way, children are tested for their Physique and Affinity for magic when they are born, like the former who was tested to have a Null Physique and Zero Affinity, all the more a reason that Jun was allowed to exist by those cut throat nobles, for he seemingly posed no threat.


    "My potential... wasn''t i already shown to have a null physique and incapable of magic?"


    (That is because your physique is unique Host, only you have this in the entirety of this world, so they mistakenly tested you)


    "Really?"


    (Mm)


    "Does the procedure have any side-effects..."


    (You will feel pins and needles through the entirety of your body for entire 5 hours of the procedure)


    "...Ok, let''s do it at night though, someone might walk in looking for me-"


    *Knock*knock


    Soft knocking came from the door and a soft, gentle voice came from the other side of the door.


    "Jun honey, are you decent, mama''s coming in"


    ''See?''


    "I''m ok Ma, come in"


    Using a sweet little voice only unique to children to call out to the visitor on the other side of the door.


    *Creak


    The Oak door opened revealing a beautiful woman in her 20''s with long silver hair just like my sister''s, and the same dazzling azure eyes i have and a slim body and modest chest. That is the Queen of Keland, Lilian Kalek, but more important to me is that she is my mama.


    "Feeling better now?"


    "Mmm!"


    I answered energetically while quickly nodding my head like a child would do.


    "Sigh, how many times do i have to tell you be careful..."


    Ma looked at me with a worried and caring look on her face.


    *****************Lilian''s POV******************


    "Where''s Pa?"


    "He''s doing something important right now"


    Walking over to the side of the bed, Lilian sat down and faced her little boy with the same hair as his father''s and the same eyes as hers, she gently stroked his hair lovingly. He always seems happy, when playing, talking or when hurt, he''s still smiling all the time.


    "Well, i was just here to get you for lunch, you didn''t have breakfast right, so let''s eat"


    "Yay, Lunch!"


    Jumping out of bed excitedly the little glutton seems to be excited about the food.


    "Fufufu, slow down, you''ll trip again!"


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    ''Acting like a child is hard... still, that''s what a mother is like huh'' Jun thought to himself as he walked in the majestic corridors of the royal palace to get to the dining room, with typical red carpet, works of art flanking both sides, large windows... basically the most cliche fantasy castle you could think of. Whilst he was admiring the castle, he unknowingly arrived at his destination, The Royal Dining Room.


    Opening the door, he is meeted with a modest table for four people, filled with all sorts of enticing looking food and sweet stuffs. This is The Royal Families private dining room, only available to my family so that we can get some privacy and talk about our day. And also what greeted me next is was petite figure ramming into me at projectile velocity.


    "Akargh-?!"


    *Slam!


    Slamming into the wall with my back, i can finally see what in gods good name charged at me with intent to kill. Silver Hair the same as out mother''s but with the crimson eyes of our dad, a cute nose and chubby cheeks that make you wanna squeeze them, coupled with her lovable expressions make her irresistible.


    "Brother, are you okay now?!"


    "I was, until you tackled me with full strength, Vivian..."


    This is my sister, Vivian Valheim Kalek, unlike the former, she was born with a both top-grade physique and affinity, a genius as you might say.


    "Now get off me you''re heavy, you must getting fat"


    "I''m not fat, i''ll be exactly like mommy when i grow up!"


    "Yes, yes but you''ll be the fatty version of ma"


    Puffing up her checks in disagreement to my statement she softly muttered, ''Hmp, i''ll show you''


    "What you say?"


    "Nothing!"


    She said as she stuck her tiny toung at me while running back to her seat. Now might be a good time to inform you that thanks to the mana rich environment of this world, children usually develop faster than back in earth, for Vivian, a 2 year old, is the size of 4 year old in earth standards, while I, a 5 year old, am the size of a 7 year old earthling. At 10 i''ll be considered an adult and be allowed to go anywhere i want, while at 7 i''ll get my own knightly retinue.


    Shaking my head to distract myself from my wandering thoughts, i walked up to the table took my seat.


    ''Can''t wait to see what kind of future awaits me in this world'' I thought with a smile in my face.

 5 Physique and Guns

    After lunch, i decided to familiarise myself with my surroundings, i walked the halls, checked everyroom, strolled the yard and looked at every nook and cranny. By the time i was done the sun was almost setting, so i asked for an early dinner and told the servants i''ll be sleeping early today.


    *Click


    I closed the door behind me and went straight to bed.


    "System, how does the procedure work?"


    (To awaken your hidden physique, i will just have to stimulate it)


    "That''s it?"


    (Yes)


    "No special items, herbs or blood?"


    (I am a cultured system, i have no need for such unrefined methods Host)


    "So, again confirming, there are no side effects?"


    (Only pins and needles)


    "You better not be lying to me"


    (Im not)


    "Ok... go ahead and start"


    (Awakening Procedure... Booting...)


    (...Start)


    Immediately as i heared the systems last words my body went numb, then tingling and finally the pins and needles set in.


    "System, how long is this procedure gonna take again?"


    (Oh not long, just five hours)


    "Mother F-"


    Five Hours Later (Insert Spongebob Template)


    (Almost done)


    ''Finally...''


    (Charging up burst)


    "W-what burst?"


    (The final step of the procedure is to hit you with a poweful stimulus burst, charging done)


    "You Son of a B-"


    *Bzzzt*bzzzzt


    ''Arrrghhhh...''


    Gritting my teeth in pain, i tried my best not to scream in the top of my lungs, to which i successfully did so, but it still hurt like hell.


    (Procedure Done... Procedure Successful... Congratulations Host you have aquired an unique physique, The Plundering Physique)


    Sitting up from bed and stretching my sore body i asked.


    "Plunder?"


    (Yes, it''s quite fitting for it''s function)


    "Well don''t keep me hanging, what is it?"


    (It is to take the skills of something you killed and use it as your own)


    In a sudden flash of inspiration, i realised the possibility.


    "A Slimes magic resistance?"


    (Yes)


    "Trollish regeneration?"


    (Yes)


    "That''s OP as f*ck"


    (You bet it is Host)


    Lying down and blankly staring at my ceiling for a while, i asked the system.


    "Is there a new mission now System?"


    (Actually yes)


    "Oh, what is it?"


    Intrigued, i sat up again and asked the System.


    (Gunsmithing)


    "Gunsmithing? I know a little, what kind of gun"


    (You''re favorite the Glock-17, it has a simple design but is reliable)


    "Really?!"


    (Yes)


    The System replied with his signature catchphrase.


    "Can''t you just make them for me?"


    (Yes, but that function has the requirement that you have had to successfully created a single working version of that said gun, for example you made a Glock-17, i can now make Glock-17''s all by self)


    "How about bullets?"


    (Bullets are included, as well any other accessories you need)


    "Really?"


    (If you can make them)


    "Tsk"


    Tsking in annoyance to this System of mine, but then suddenly thought of a problem.


    "Hold up System, how am i supposed to make the gun when i dont have a bench?"


    (Virtually of course)


    "You think of everything"


    (I am great aren''t i?)


    "Stop feeling smug bastard, what time is it?"


    (1:00 AM)


    ''Hmm, i''ve only got a few hours till dawn, someone always checks on me in the morning'' I thought as i contemplated on how to do this for i only have a few more hours till daybreak and then said to System.


    "Is there like time dilation while i make the gun?"


    (Nope)


    "Why?"


    (So as to curb any over reliance on me)


    "Oh by the way, is this VR function of yours versatile?"


    (Yes, it also has a wide variety of combat simulations in any climate, weather or environment and from the basics of gun handling to the more advanced combat techniques)


    "Like jungle warfare and house breaching?"


    (It''s there)


    "You''re really convenient sometimes, but don''t be smug about it"


    (Of course Host)


    "Alright, start the simulation or whatever"


    (Yes, Generating... Confirmed... Entering...)


    Immediately after that i blacked out and when i woke up again i was standing in a white room, completely empty of thing''s with only me standing at the center of the room.


    "...So this is the VR space?"


    (Yes Host)


    "Well, let''s get started shall we?"


    (Hold your horses Host, you should read this first)


    *Poof


    A book suddenly poofed into existence near my feet, i picked up the magically appearing book from the ground and read the title.


    "Gunsmithing for Dumdums: Pistol Edition... you kiddin me right?"


    (I recommend you read it)


    "...Sigh, alright"


    I flipped the book open and read the first page.


    "Chapter 1: Designing..."


    2 Hours later.


    "Im done..."


    (Good, let us begin then, do you remember all of it?)


    "...Actually, yes, yes i do"


    (As esxpected of the Plundering Physique, not only skills but it also plunders knowledge)


    "This physique is quite awes-"


    *Poof


    While i was talking, the System once again magicked something out of thin air, but this time it was a work bench filled what seems to be gun parts.


    (Let us begin Host)


    "Ah, right, the guns"


    I walked up to the bench but then found a problem.


    "System, where are the tools?"


    (We are in virtual environment, all you need to do is think of what you want to do to the material)


    I picked up a solid cylinder of steel wanting try out the System''s instruction but then a video screen suddenly popped up.


    "There''s even a tutorial?"


    (Yes, it is for convenience)


    2 Hours later (again)


    After cramming all the information on how to make the my favorite Glock-17 with all of its 33 parts crammed into my head, i can finally start trying and making the goddamn thing.


    "Can we start now?"


    (Up to you)


    "Ok, lets start with the bigger parts, i think we should start with the barrel then..."


    1 Hour later.


    "And... done"


    I said as i praised my own creation, not to brag or anything but it''s quite masterpiece of a gun.


    (Confirmed creation of a working model, factory function unlocked, you may now produce the Glock-17)


    "Haha, i did it, i got my trusty Glock in another world!"


    (Do you wish to Customize?)


    "Hell yeah i do!"


    (What do you wish to add?)


    "Hmm, a silencer is definitely needed, luminescent sights and a concealable holster for the gun and extra ammo"


    (Is that all?)


    "Yes... by the way the System can i make something else other than a glock?"


    (Yes)


    "And...?"


    (But you have to level up first)


    "I knew it, so how do i level up?"


    (Naturally by killing things)


    "Killing eh, that''s gonna be hard when i can''t even leave the palace, oh well, im still young so ive gotta enjoy life right now... System what time is it?"


    (It is 6:00 AM Host)


    "Holy sh*t i spent 5 hours here, turn off the simulation"


    (Roger)

 6 Surprise

    ******************Lilian''s POV*****************


    "Is everything ready?"


    She asked a servant nearby.


    "Ah, yes your majesty!"


    The servant replied nervously but quickly.


    "Good, is he awake yet?"


    "Send Sophie to wake him up"


    "Right away your majesty!"


    As she watched the servants departing back, Lilian thought to herself, ''I wonder if he''ll be surprised''. Smiling at thought, she went back to organize the last minute checks of preparation.


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    "Yawn... gandang umaga, ah no, good morning"


    Fixing my habit of using my former native language, i got up from bed and walked to my personal bathroom for a quick bath. Turning on the water on the tub as i took my off my silk pajamas and waited, and you know what, having running water indoors in a fantasy world got me to thinking, ''Were there others like me?''.


    But then i shook my head, what do i care, they have nothing to do with me, so let''s just focus on me, at least it''s more convenient for me that there''s running water. After the tub filled with water, i soaked for a while and relaxed while talking to the System.


    "System, what is our next agenda?"


    (Training, both physical and education Host)


    "How might we do that?"


    Intrigued, i said as i put a hand in my face with two fingers under the lip and the other on my cheek, the ''Duterte'' pose if you will, and raised an eyebrow at my System.


    (For physical training you will wear a pair of unique training bracelets, a growth syrum for internal purposes and a bath solution for external purposes. As for the education, you will be re-educated in physics, mathematics and the sciences, while also being learned in linguistics, time management, urban planning, architecture, interior design-)


    "Hoool up, w-what, i get physics, math and science for sure but, time management?"


    (A good soldier is always on time)


    "Urban planning?!"


    (You have to know the in''s and out''s of a city for an easier infiltration and extraction while also being able to locate a target)


    "Architecture?!"


    (For demolition and aesthetic purposes)


    "Interior Design?!"


    (So as to understand the layout of a target building)


    "Ok, ok i give up, you win, those are important..."


    I got up from the tub and put on my robe and walked out of the bathroom, then someone knocked on the door l.


    "Your majesty, are you awake?"


    It was Sophie.


    "Ah, Sophie, what is it im still in a bathrobe"


    "Oh, then please take your time getting dressed, Her Majesty is looking for you"


    "Ma? Ok i''ll get dressed just wait"


    I ran to the my closet and picked out a yellow suit.


    (Yellow, really Host?)


    "What''s the problem with yellow?"


    (It''s goddamn winter damnit, you will not look good in that)


    "Stop acting like some fashionista and give me a color"


    (I suggest either black, dark blue or dark red)


    Grabbing a dark blue outfit and putting it on, i complained to the System.


    "Is fashion gonna be a part of my education?"


    (You sure bet it is Honey)


    "You... i''ll deal with you later, give me my holster and glock"


    (...)


    "What, do your thing and poof it to existance"


    (...That was virtual Host, of course i can poof it, it doesn''t actually exist in the real world)


    "How can i get my gun then?"


    (Get me the materials, then i can make it)


    "Where can i find polymer?!"


    (I don''t know find a subtitute!)


    "How can you poof up training equipment then?!"


    (They were already there when i existed, and for your information those are quite limited, i only have a five year supply, unless, Unless, you get me the materials to replinish it)


    "Y-you... Later, i''ll deal with you later!"


    Suppressing my rage to my now fashionable System, i went to my door and opened it revealing my loli maid Sophie. You know when i said that children in this world grow faster than on earth''s? Well, Sophie seems to be an exception, while other 5 year olds are as tall 7''s, Sophie is still growing in a normal rate comparable to earth''s that''s why i say she''s a loli.


    "Your majesty, are you ready?"


    She said with a smile on her face.


    "Mm, take me to ma- mother"


    I corrected my way of calling her for mama is only when we are alone.


    "Right away"


    Sophie immediately started walking and i followed her.


    Soon we arrive at the private dining room and she stood by the door while pointing to the door palm side up.


    "Please go in sir"


    "Ok..."


    Slightly confused but i still did as instructed.


    *Giant doors opening


    "Hello?"


    The room was pitch black maybe except for the 6 candles lit in the table, 6... reminds me of something but i can''t remember...


    I walked up to the table and could now see the candles are placed on top of a cake. If the number of candles tickled my memory then the cake hit me like a truck, ''I remember now, today is the 1st of january, then that means...'', as if confirming my suspicion, the room lit up revealing the entire castle staff and my family.


    "Surprise! Happy Birthday Jun!"


    Today, January 1st, year 1055 of the world calendar, was the former''s birthday. At first i was surprised, but then i felt warm and i smiled and said.


    "Thank you, everyone!"


    Having people celebrate my birthday is... kinda weird, i didn''t have a birthday since the orphanage didn''t know when i was born so we just celebrated the day i came to the orphanage. But now... im happy.


    "Come on! Blow out the cake birthday boy!"


    My pa said excitedly, He, a man with golden blonde hair, crimson eyes with a tall build, supposedly a king as cold as steel, and a general that struck fear to his enemies is now showing the widest grin to his son that had just grown earlier.


    "Yeah, brother blow it so i can eat it!"


    "Yeah sweetie, come on"


    Scanning the smiling faces of the palace staff and my own family, i just smiled, shook my head and said.


    "Alright, alright..."


    And thus i blew the cake and thought ''Thank God for sending me to this world''.

 7 Requesting for Materials

    And so my surprise birthday party commenced, the itself party wasn''t some grand celebration for im not important in the eye''s of the nobility, unlike my little sis who was the one in line to the throne, but i was satisfied with it, at least i got family here.


    "Happy Birthday my boy!"


    My father said as he messed with my hair, it hurt, but its as though i can feel his love pass to me through such an intimate action, i felt warmed and loved.


    "Thanks pa"


    "Hahaha, ok, what do you want this year, you always make a request rather than a gift, last year you just wanted to get out to the city, what is it this year, don''t hold nothing back make it big!"


    The former used to make requests at his birthday, as said, at his 5th birthday the prince requested just to get out of to the city, at his 4th he requested an allowance of 100 gold per month and at his 3rd he requested a toy, he didn''t make a request at his 2nd for he was still stupid then. Using a request to powerful parents that can get you anything in the world for a toy is quite wasteful but that''s in the mindset of a grown-up, in that of a child''s it totally makes sense!


    "Pa, i need materials, i want to make something!"


    "Materials to make something eh, that''s easy, i''ll lead you to the royal storehouse to get anything you need!"


    "There''s such a convenient place?!"


    "Of course, follow me after the party"


    "Pa''s the best!"


    "Hahaha, i know right?"


    "What are you boy''s talking about?"


    At this point mother joined in the conversation.


    "Nothing, just asking Jun what he would like this year"


    "Oh, what did he want?"


    "He''s thinking of making something so he wants some materials to do it, so i''ll be leading him to the storehouse later"


    "Making something?"


    My mother tilted her head in confusion while turning her head to look at me.


    "It''s a secret!"


    "Oh ok, a secret is it?"


    Then she just smiled while shaking her head and then gave me a pouch.


    "Your allowance"


    "Ma''s better!"


    Pa then gave a resentful glare at mother, while she just smiled and nodded contently.


    "Come, let''s eat"


    "Yes!"


    And the rather small but festive otherworld birthday of mine went on for an hour, honestly it was just like any ordinary meal with the exception of that the meals are my favorite food''s, sour soup, sweet sauced pasta and fruit salad. Man, the former and i have a lot of similarities don''t we?


    And thus an hour later the party ended, mother was particularly busy today but she made way just for me, ahhhh, im so loved. And true to his word, dad took me to the storehouse while Vivian tagged along. We went outside to the courtyard and walked near the flower garden while following a dirt path until we arrived at our destination.


    "This is the Royal Storehouse, a place to keep spare and scrap material that could still be of some use, some are rare materials but are too small to be used for anything, the real valuable stuff are at the Royal Vault, but this thing''s should be enough for what your making"


    When we arrived at the storehouse, Pa started talking about the purpose of the building.


    *Creak


    Opening the door i can see a lot of things set in order while the interior seems to be cleaned regularly.


    "The first section of the storehouse is the monster remains were used on experiments that ended in failure, for example, this blob was once a part of a King slime, it is cut, blunt, heat, cold and magic resistant while also being flexible and really comfortable to touch"


    "Wouldn''t that make great light armor pa?"


    I asked confused as to why such a great thing be in the storehouse.


    "It would have been, but we can''t manipulate it''s shape so we can''t make it into armor, such a shame really"


    ''System, can you do it?'' i mentally conversed with the system.


    (Easy Host)


    ''Ok''


    "Dad, i want that, please!"


    "Hmm, sure, might as well let you have it than let it sit here to collect dust, just come back for anything you need"


    "You''re the best!"


    Dad smiled, then continued to explain each every item, it continued for a while with nothing catching my eye, Vivian also joined in by asking for some things she thought interesting and dad gladly gave it to hear. Until another thing caught my eye.


    "This is the tusk of a Tar''janni Rhino, it''s tougher than steel, a fourth the weight but it''s only other special quality is to absorb any impact"


    (Host, i suggest getting this tusk, it can significantly lessen recoil and thus significantly improve accuracy)


    "Mm"


    I answered with a nod.


    "This little piece of wood, is called Whisper Wood"


    "I don''t hear anything, Vivian?"


    Confused by the name and not hearing anything i turn to look at my little sister.


    "Me too"


    "Now, now watch me, im gonna scream in the top of my lungs"


    Before we could respond, dad was already screaming, well, he looked to be screaming but all we actually heard was a whisper.


    "*Panting, hear anything?"


    My sister and i and looked at each other for a moment before simultaneously shaking our head''s.


    "That''s special property of this wood, it absorbs sound"


    "What is it used for, dad?"


    Vivian innocently asked.


    "Ahem, ahem, i-it''s used as walls for places you wouldn''t want to hear anything from, you''ll know when your older"


    Dad started coughing violently, then said with a slightly blushed face, ''Jokes on you dad, i know completely well what you are talking about, but that''s not important this thing is a natural suppressor!'' i thought as i realised the potential of that tiny block of wood.


    "Mm, anyway this thing is quite rare for it''s sale is tightly regulated and even we royals could only buy a room''s worth of it, all thats left is this tiny piece and this 2¡Á4 that''s half an inch thick"


    ''I can use the 2¡Á4 for the heels of my boots for stealth missions'' i thought as i drew up a plan on how to use the wood in my head. After that i kept searching for other materials to make my gun, but then i discovered an important discovery through a mental conversation with the System.


    ''You mean you can just convert materials into different materials''


    (Yes)


    So, what your saying is that you can turn a block of wood into gun''


    (Yes)


    ''Then why the fuck am i searching for materials to make a gun when i could just pick some random stump and boom get a gun?!''


    (I asked if you wanted to customize and i simply forgot, and plus i can''t make fantasy material i''m a scientific System)


    ''I really Wish, i could Beat you right now!''


    (...Sorry)

 8 Transcended Glock

    We spent a total of 2 hours looking around in storehouse and i basically found everything i needed to make my gun, some accessories and body armor.


    "Seriously System, i spent all that time looking around for materials and you just turn around and say you can make out of a block of wood?"


    (Again, im sorry ok, sheesh)


    "Sigh, what are we gonna do with these thing''s now?"


    (Make the most unique glock in this world)


    "Which is the only glock in this world"


    (That just makes it more special!)


    "Alright you win, let''s get this stuff to my room"


    I said while carrying a box of the things we picked out from the storehouse, soon we arrived back at my room with all the scavenged material we found. Putting it down in the table in my room i ordered the System.


    "Alright, let''s get this party started, System, do it"


    (Roger!)


    In a flash of the light, the things we picked out for the glock were gone from the box.


    (Processing... Assembling... Done)


    "That was quick"


    (I am an efficient System)


    "Alright enough, tell me the specs of this thing now"


    (It has zero recoil which significantly improved accuracy, the silencer may be small but it''s effectiveness is 4¡Á that of a full sized one and i conveniently added a red dot, a laser while giving it a trigger and handle job for better ergonomics)


    "Ok, stop teasing give it to me"


    As soon as i said that, an ivory gun appeared in my palms.


    "System... this is not a glock"


    (It is Host)


    "No, a glock is supposed to be a blocky but reliable handgun but this... what''s with the engraving''s?!"


    (I did it for aesthetic purposes, the glock looked to bland, but don''t worry it''s still glock inside)


    "Is the handle gold plated, where did you get the gold?"


    (Still from the storehouse)


    "The silencer is squared and looks like it''s integrated to the gun"


    (It is and the silencer is squared to match the glock and not block the sights)


    "Sigh, this can''t even be called a glock anymore..."


    (Then we should give it a new name)


    "Like what?"


    I said as i put down the ''glock'' while crossing my arms and lifting a brow to this extravagant System of mine.


    (How about Luxus)


    "Luxury eh, gotta say it''s fitting... ok, will go with that"


    Ever since i came to this world i automatically learned german for reasons that i dont know and i don''t care to know, but basically i know that ''Luxus'' is german for luxuxry. (Google translate baby)


    "Ok Luxus, your gonna be my partner from now on"


    (Are you talking to the gun Host, and what about me im supposed to be your partner)


    "What wrong with that, people talk to horses and probably more reliable than you"


    (But at least we are sentient)


    "Ok enough, we still got a lot of things to make, next on the check list... body armor"


    I grabbed the King slime blob, the blob itself was as big as a basketball so i had to use both hands, i think we should have enough for full body armor.


    "Alright, do it"


    (...What?)


    "Make the armor"


    (You have to design it first)


    "This again... just make it like a full-body swim suit!"


    (Ok, but only this once!)


    The blob then disappeared from my hands.


    (Processing... Stitching... Done)


    A black full-body swimsuit then appeared in my hands.


    "Specs"


    (It is one size fits all, the blob by itself was cut, blunt, pierce and water proof, it was also heat, cold, shock, and magic resistant while also being flexible, i turned its molecular structure similar to that of graphene so as to improve defensive capabilities, oh and with the spare materials i also made gloves and a mask)


    "Good job... but add some designs to it"


    I said as i inspected the suit, gloves and mask.


    (I thought you didn''t like customising)


    "Hey, i like customising as much as any other guy, but you however, Mr.System, have a warped perception of it"


    (Who has a warped perception?!)


    "Enough chit-chat, just do as i say"


    (...Ok, whats the design for the mask?)


    "Just make it a reaper"


    (Haiii, should i also put a logo on this bulletproof swim-suit?)


    "Yes, make it a number 1 with a tilted crown sitting on a throne"


    (And who says i have a warped perception of customization?)


    "Cheeky bastard"


    And in that fashion me and System made many different things like, durable military boots with whisper wood heels for stealth operations or a set different type''s of knives. We also made normal things, like a set of dark blue military fatigues, a helmet, a belt holster and some civilian clothing for me cause i didn''t like wearing suits all the time, plus its not like im going anywhere, if you don''t remember then let me remind you, i am a prince of a matriarchal society and to which most of the nobility are women and their thoughts... i think, feministic is a good way to describe it, personally i think that by standing, we are equal, but in capabilities there are no equals just someone better or worse than you. So anyways, long story short, they don''t like me, i don''t like them, so as to protect me my parents don''t let me join in such gatherings, to which both me and the former agree on because there was too much conspiracy and backstabbing involved in those things.


    But anyways were getting sidetracked, back to the story.


    After making using up all the materials that we got from the storehouse, i realised it was nearing noon so i quickly changed out of my dark blue suit and into my newly made outfit, boxer''s, tanktop, black pants and a dark red polo shirt with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows, and made my way to the kitchen.


    Oh how things will change so quickly.

 9 A Noose Tightens

    **************Christopher''s POV**************


    I am King Christopher Valheim, King of Kalend, a matriarchaly ruled kingdom, some might say that being the king of such a kingdom is pointless. But not to me, for my reason is now sitting on the high throne that we have fought together for, My Queen, My Love and My Sole Reason, The Queen of Kalend, Lilian Kalek. Even after mothering our two angels, she is as beautiful as ever, i have been by her side for the last 20 years, i was there when she fought her sisters for the throne and ruthlessly slayed her sisters to win the throne, to the world she seemed cold, but when all was over and we had won...


    She howled and cried in my arm''s begging for forgiveness, she didn''t want to do it, but for the kingdom''s stability she persevered until then. That is who my queen is, a woman cold on the outside but once she opens up to you, will show you the brightest of smiles. We have always fought together even when i was just her servant and today is no different.


    "He is nothing but a stain in the royal families record, you have to get rid him!"


    "What did you say Old Hag?!"


    "Chris... please calm down"


    I turned to look at my queen and then at that old bitch that''s itching to die and calmed myself down.


    "Hmph, like a good dog you behave when your told"


    I grit my teeth and clenched my fists in anger but remained silent.


    "Orena, you were saying?"


    My wife however kept her calm, but i know better than anyone he''s much more angrier and prime to kill than i am.


    "Your ''Son'' is nothing but a shame to the royal families reputation as one''s blessed with the Goddesses strength and her fertility"


    The Church of Magica, is the national religion of Keland and the head god of the religion is Thre''cia, the Goddess of magic and protector women, the supposed reason for the abundance of magic crystals in the country is said to be her blessing, she is another reason why women have a higher standing here. Another ''blessing'' she gave, was that the royal family of Keland can only gave birth to female descendants with high affinity to magic, but then my son was born.


    Jun was born with a null physique and no affinity for magic, nobody in Keland or Other Kingdoms for that matter knew of his birth except for those who are gathered in this hall today, with no hope of being a warrior or mage he couldn''t possibly survive in this kind of environment if it weren''t for our constant fight against the nobility who wanted him erased from existance, they have no good reason to as to why they just don''t want him around, maybe they felt that their positions being threatened so wanted get rid of the possibility, i didn''t know and i didn''t care, all care about is that they are trying to take my son which is unforgivable!


    "Either you send him far away from here or we get a little more forceful"


    "Is that a threat Orena?"


    Lilian said with a cold glare on her beautiful face.


    "Of course not, we do not dare to threaten you your majesty"


    She said as she opened her fan to cover up her obvious smile.


    "...Fine, i''ll think about it"


    "Dear, you couldn''t possibly be thinking of-?!"


    "Christopher, right now, i am the queen of this country so address me so as your majesty"


    "But, but..."


    I tried to argue, but no word''s other than but came out of my mouth.


    "Fufufu, think real hard about your majesty"


    And with that she turned and left, and so does all the other nobles as they followed her outside the hall, they had us cornered.


    "Dear..."


    *Tap*tap*tap


    Before i could finish my words, a head is already burried in my chest and two hands with nails digging into my flesh, but thats not important, all thats important is that she is crying in my arms and i need to comfort her. And so i pulled her into my embrace.


    "*Sob Chris, i try to be a good Queen and Mother, but i can only choose one, why can''t i be both,*Sob i love our country but i love our family more, yet i can''t just sacrifice the stability of millions of lives by just leaving the throne, i wish i could just leave but i don''t have the heart to do it!"


    "...I understand, i''ve always understood, if you were just a woman that could leave the fates of millions to uncertainty, i would have not fallen for you"


    I said as i patted her quivering back and doing my best to console her. And it seemed to have worked, after a while she calmed down a bit.


    "...Where are we gonna send him?"


    "...I don''t know, but definitely somewhere safe"


    "Of course..."


    And like that the royal couple stayed silent as they embraced each other.


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    Meanwhile, our protagonist is oblivious to the conspiracy to get rid of him and is making a sandwich.


    "Where is everybody?"


    He said as he took a bite out of his sandwich.


    (No life signs within my 50 meter radar)


    "*Munch *Gulp What could they be doing, and also you have a radar?"


    (I have many other functions)


    "Gotta check you out later, first we test fire Luxus"


    (Roger)


    "Let''s get the extra mags in my room"


    I said as i got out the kitchen and into the main corridor and walk back to my room, as we got close though, the System gave a warning.


    (Warning!Warning!: Unidentified signature with confirmed malicious intent detected in your room!)


    "What, somebody''s in my room?"


    (Confirmed and he''s not friendly, i can detect huge amounts of different types of blood on his body, he''s obviously a killer)


    "Looks like we have our target, ah wait, i don''t want a repeat of the last time i did this, System confirm no other signatures"


    (Confirmed, only this one host)


    "Where is he?"


    (Left side of the door by the way your facing)


    "Ok... here?"


    (Perfect)


    "Let''s shoot him through the wall"


    (Agreed)


    I grabbed Luxus, turned his safety off and aimed then...


    Pulled the trigger.


    *Bang*bang*bang*bang*bang (Silenced of course)

 10 First Plunder

    After firing five silenced shots through the wall i asked the System if the target was still alive.


    "System?"


    (Killed 1 Professional Assassin gained 101 exp. (101/200)


    "Yes, finally got some exp, level 2 here i come, but first let''s check him!"


    I opened the door to the room and looked to the left of my feet, there, i found a man covered in a cloak dead in a puddle of his own blood with eyes and mouth wide open in shock with 5 gunshots to the torso turning it into a mangled mess.


    "Shit, i just realized, how am i gonna clean this up?"


    (Don''t worry Host, i got this)


    The corpse and the blood then all disappeared.


    "You''re quite handy in a murder"


    (I am the Super Soldier System, of course id have something for cleaning up corpses)


    "Oh yeah"


    I then turned my attention to the bullet holes.


    "Shiiiit, this holes look around an 2-inches wide, what did you do to Luxus System?!"


    (Must be from my special propellant and the bullet material)


    "Special propellant?"


    (Of course, do you think id use normal gunpowder for Luxus, i got some inspiration by inspecting every combustible item in the storehouse, too bad normal made guns can''t handle the it''s power and it''s loud as heck so it''s impractical for use in ordinary arms, Luxus could handle it though, this is the benefit of customized guns Host, more firepower!)


    "Ok, ok your the greatest, now... how do i plunder again, you said that i have some special physique or something?"


    (Ah right, ahem, Do you wish to plunder?)


    "Yes"


    (Processing... Done)


    (Skills Gained)


    (Faceless(Innate): You are but a faceless face in a crowd of faceless people. Decreased Presence)


    (Chameleon(Active): You blend in to your surroundings like a chameleon. Decreased Presence, Decreased Enemy visibility towards you)


    Life Force: +91


    Memories downloaded.


    "Hold it, HOLD it, explain this to me in detail System"


    (Sure, the first thing''s you get once you plunder is their skills, both innate and active, innate is just a fancier way to say passive skill, but these are incredibly rare while active skills are skills that can be passed on and have to be activated to be used, while life force is the expected remaining life span of the plundered enemy converted into energy, its only use is for healing and finally their memories, remember host, the brain is just an organic computer so i can easily get their data)


    "I played enough games to know what skills are and life force seems to be really useful but, memories really?"


    I asked the system doubtful of his sayings.


    (Yes, don''t believe me, i can pull a video of his memories right now)


    As the System had said he pulled up a video screen in front of me.


    (This is from the last hour)


    System then played it, what came to view was what seemed to be an interior of a carriage then turned to look at a burly man with a square jaw and a beard.


    "You wait here, if i don''t come back in 2 hours you get away from here"


    "Got that, big bro"


    "Good"


    The video was shown in first person view of the cloaked man, what happened next was that the cloaked man jumped out the carriage and scaled the wall facing my window with a grappling hook.


    For you to understand let me explain the layout of the palace, it has an approximate 100,000 square meters of land area and is basically a rectangular shaped building made of marble with at most two stories if count the height of the throne room, what, were you expecting an intricate and grand design, nope thats reserved for mage towers that draw in mana from the second source of mana, spirit veins, most of the nobility own at least one tower and mostly stay there cooped up in whatever they do, that is true for my parents and sister too, they are mostly at the tower cultivating while the former stayed here for his physique less body cannot handle too much of a concentration of mana. So the jist of it is the The Royal Palace is mostly ceremonial like the, like The Throne Room, now put a rectangle in a compass, the thinner sides are both facing East to West while the wider parts are facing North and South, now the entrance to the palace is located in the East, where you''ll immediately be greeted by the throne room, the throne room has 8 doors that lead deeper to the interior of the palace, three in each side walls and two flank the throne, going through the side wall doors will both greet you with a corridor of large windows, marble statues, paintings and all kinds of different arts flank the halls, while going through the one''s that flank the throne will lead you to a corridor that splits the building in half, if you go straight it will lead you to the kitchen, go left or right you''ll be at an intersection of corridors with doors that lead outside, at the end of the southern corridor is my room and at the end of the northern corridor is the private dining room got that?


    And so we go back to the story.


    "How the hell did he get past the magic defenses..."


    (Um, Host you might wanna see this, we got a familiar face)


    "Familiar?"


    The System then pulled another video screen.


    (This was from a day ago)


    The scene in the video is that of an desserted alley in the night, it''s wet, dark and stinks. Soon the sound of small footsteps draw closer to the alley.


    "You''re late"


    Said the cloaked man to the small silhouette.


    "Im sorry had to take care of the bastard because he tripped"


    ''That voice?!''


    As if confirming my thoughts the small hooded figure took off her hood.


    "Sophie?!"

 11 Sadis

    After the shock of suddenly knowing that somebody close to you betrayed you, it then turns to anger. That''s what happened to me and i got to say, I''M PISSED OFF!


    Sophie? Sophie?! My thought to be loyal friend and devoted maid just turned out to be a turncoat!


    Suppresing the rage and frustration i felt in my heart i told the System.


    "System, can you find the mastermind behind this?"


    (All ready tried it, looks like Sophie was the one that hired him, so she''s the true subordinate, this guy''s just a pawn)


    "Ok... but first, let''s deal with the muscle outside, we can''t waste such precious experience points go to waste"


    (I second that notion)


    "Then it''s agreed, let''s get suited up first just in case"


    ******************Mac''s POV*****************


    Me name Mac, big bro name me Mac, big bro save Mac, now Mac help big bro, big bro say stay, so Mac stay, but big bro taking long, Mac don''t want to leave big bro.


    *Knock*knock*knock


    "Mac open up, i got the kid, open up so we can get out of here!"


    "Big bro!"


    Mac get up to open door for big bro.


    *Creak


    "Big br-"


    But when Mac open door, big bro not there, only man with strange small man in blue clothing with blue lights where his eye''s should be.


    "Who are you, wher-!"


    But when Mac tried to ask where big bro was, there we''re already three holes in his chest.


    *Cough


    Coughing out blood, Mac fell out of the carriage and to the cold floor, he tried to get back up and defiantly lifted his head.


    But all that greeted him was the barrel of Luxus and a few words from the strange small blue man.


    "Shhhhh... go to sleep"


    And with that...


    Black.


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    "That voice changer of yours came in handy System, so give me the exp"


    Of course that strange small blue man is Jun in his newly made full dark blue military fatigues with a helmet and a pair of googles that System made for aesthetics sake to go with his reaper mask, it changes color according to emotion so it''s quite cool. Just think, your an enemy staring straight at my blue led lights for eyes and then it turns red, urghh, the thought makes me shiver in excitement.


    (Killed 1 Muscle Head Goon gained 75 exp. (176/200)


    "75 exp, he''s got to be more than that System..."


    (No, he is only worth that much)


    "Tsk, dammit almost, almost level 2"


    (You can just kill Sophie then you''ll probably level up)


    "Yeah, but not before i make her suffer, do you know where she is?"


    (I put a signature in every person that you are close with, your parents, sister and your maid, or should i say former maid, Sophie)


    "You''re highly efficient sometimes System"


    (I know right)


    "And your smug again"


    (Can''t be proud for a second?!)


    "Alright, tell me where she is"


    (Hmm, still in the castle, and it looks like she''s actually going to your room, e.t.a 10 minutes)


    "Let''s give her a surprise when she gets there, by the way my plunder"


    (Processing... Done)


    (Herculean Strength(Innate): Born with strength to carry ever heavier mountains. Increased Strength(Trainable)

    Memories too corrupted to be downloaded.


    "System, what''s does Trainable mean?"


    I said as i climbed the palace walls through the grappling hook that the cloaked man, which i later found out was named, Derz.


    (It means, what it means, it can be increased through training, few skills have this property)


    "And plus what''s up with the his life force and his memories"


    (He had an lifespan of at least 200 years thanks to his incredible strength, too bad that doesn''t mean he has incredible defense''s)


    I dropped down from the 20 foot tall wall of the palace and started running to my room.


    "System, what''s her e.t.a?"


    (8 minutes)


    "That''s enough"


    *****************Sophie''s POV****************


    My name is Sophie, i am the maid of the 1st


    Prince of Kalend, a dream job of any maid right, if it weren''t for the fact that Keland is a matriarchal monarchy and the fact that in the entire royal family tree, the kalek''s have never birthed a male, until he was born. He was seen as an omen by the nobility or a cursed child destined to bring calamity and wanted nothing more than him gone. And for that i was ostracized, bullied and harassed, i hated it, i hated him, he was weak, clumsy and downright stupid, so when i was offered to be of help getting rid of him, i practically jumped at the chance to do so. And so i disabled the magic defenses for a set amount of time so as to not alert anyone.


    "He should be gone by now right?"


    Just the thought of not having to serve such an incompetent prince brings a smile to my face, as i neared his room to check someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder.


    "What is i-"


    When i turned to scold the person, i was stunned, it was the prince! But how?! He should be gone by now?! Before i could process the situation the prince said only one thing.


    "Boo"


    And punched me unconscious.


    ...


    For an unknown period of time i was knocked out and when i came the sight that greeted me was the prince in some strange new outfit of red and black reading a book while sitting across from me and me, being bound to a chair.


    "You''re Highness this is not funny"


    "What''s not funny?"


    The prince closed his book, got up and put it back in the bookshelf then turned back to me.


    "If you mean betrayal is not funny, then i whole heartedly agree with you"


    Saying so the prince grabbed a pair of gloves from the chair while i was stunned, how did the prince know and how did he get rid of Derz?!


    "...W-what are you talking about your majesty"


    "Lying is a natural thing so as to avoid punishment, but it''s useless here, my dear Sophie"


    He said as he adjusted his gloves and stepped towards me. I was frightened by then so i struggled but it was futile, the prince the arrived in front of me.


    "You''re Majesty im inn-!"


    Before i can finish my words i was interrupted by a punch to the face.


    "Enough talk, accept Judgement"


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    And so i tortured Sophie, i punched her in the face, jabbed in the liver, in the stomach, a knee to face, a kick to the face, broke her fingers any torture technique appliable to this situation really, she screamed and wailed in pain, calling for help and then asking me just to end it, it was a symphony to my ears, oh how i smiled at her with the most satisfied expression on my face and how she looked at me like the devil, oh how i relished it all. Anytime she passed out i woke her up with a bucket of cold water to the face and so this continued for while until a System prompt ended it all.


    (Two signatures inbound: tagged Lilian and tagged Christopher are approaching)


    "Sigh, looks like the fun ends, your lucky Sophie, i guess the gods decided to spare you from your pitiful state..."


    I pulled out Luxus and aimed at her head with one hand.


    "Goodbye... Sophie"


    *Bang (Silenced)


    (Killed 1 Sophie gained 25 exp. (1/500)


    (Congratulations! You leveled up!)


    (Unlocked: Bolt-action Rifles)

 12 Vaul

    Looking coldly at the now dead Sophie, i just holstered Luxus and said to the System.


    "Clean this up"


    (Roger)


    Her body then disappeared, i grabbed the chair she was tied to and put it back, i took off my gloves and stored it in the System. Taking a seat to relax for a bit and then waited for my parents to arrive.


    *Knock*knock


    ''They''re here''


    I thought as i got up and walked to the door.


    "Ma, Pa, why are you here?"


    "We''ll..."


    Christopher was the first to speak but could only let out one word.


    "Jun honey, we need to talk about something important"


    This time it was Lilian speaking.


    "Talk about something?"


    "Let''s talk inside"


    "Ok..."


    And so we stepped inside my room, sat down in my bed and talked.


    "...Jun, it''s no longer safe here, you''ll have to leave this place"


    "...Alright"


    "You... don''t you hate that you''ll have to leave this place?"


    Asked Christopher with a confused tone.


    "You say it''s not safe, so it''s safe here, if even you, the king and queen of this country, say that you are not certain of protecting me in the safety of the royal palace, then it''s definitely not safe here"


    I said with seriousness tone, but then switched to a happy tone.


    "Besides... you''re only caring for my safety, why would i complain?"


    The couple looked at their son, wondering when did he learn such words and then at each other, then smiled together.


    "Yeah, you''re right, we''re over thinking it... just pack up your clothes, we will prepare everything else for you, also here..."


    Ma then gave me a necklace.


    "This is the key to the vault, pick up anything that might be useful to you"


    "The vault?"


    The Vault, the place where the real treasures of the Keland royalty is, filled to the brim with mystical materials, materials i need to make my rifle.


    "Yes, take anything you want"


    "Ok..."


    I put on the necklace and decided to check it out later.


    "Well, don''t let us bother you, go on pack your thing''s, we still have a lot to do."


    Clapping her hands and getting up from the bed Lilian said.


    "Goodbye"


    Watching them walk out of the room and disappear from sight, i finally asked.


    "System?"


    (Coast is clear Host)


    "Alright, let me inspect what i got system"


    (Processing... Done)


    (Warped Perception(Innate): Time, what is time, to me it is warped and so is to you. slow time for 3 seconds (Trainable)(Unlocked)


    Life force: +78


    Memories downloaded.


    "Shit, isn''t that basically bullet time?!"


    (Yes)


    "Why didn''t she use it?"


    I asked in a confused tone for this skill could have saved her life.


    (Probably because it was locked, all locked skills once plundered are automatically unlocked for use)


    "This is an OP ass skill, how come Sophie had it?"


    (Innate skills are something that just randomly manifest in anybody, while the possibility is rare, some are born with world shaking abilities but are unable to unlock it)


    "Ok... next question, how do you train this skill?"


    (By training perception of time, so basically just study the laws of time, anymore questions?)


    "Yeah last one, how the hell do you know this?"


    (It''s just in my database)


    "Alright... ah wait, we''re getting sidetracked, System, find the mastermind behind this all this shit"


    (Already done that a while ago)


    The System pulled out a video screen.


    "Play it"


    Thus the video played, it showed Sophie sitting in what seems to be a nobles private study and across her is a woman in her 50''s, i can''t be sure, the concept of age in this world is pretty darn warped, just look at me im 6 and im already killing people.


    "Sophie, you only have one job and that is to turn off the palace defense''s for a short time so as to not alert anybody"


    "Yes, Mistress Orena"


    "Orena... i know that name"


    Sure, the former might not have been educated in the ways of nobility, he was still informed of who is who in hierarchy of nobles, so it was normal for him to remember a name or two. And Orena is a pretty big deal in the circle of nobles, so of course the former would know her.


    She is as conservative as could be and one pain in the ass to my parents, they always complained about her, calling her by all sorts of names, so that left a deep impression on the former, her standing is equal to my parents in the eye''s of those conservative nobles. Of course, my parents have allies in the court, but they are outnumbered.


    And it''s this old whore that wants me dead.


    "Don''t fail me"


    "Yes Mistress"


    And so the video ended.


    "Well, two can play at that game Orena, System can i choose what kind of Bolt-action i want?"


    (Actually yes, the thing with the glock was a precaution as to have you armed with a simple but reliable weapon and is only a one time thing)


    "Good"


    (Which Bolt-action is it?)


    "Cheytac Intervention"


    (Roger)


    And so i was pulled into the virtual space a second time.


    "Book"


    (Here)


    *Poof


    I grabbed the book.


    "Gunsmithing for dumdums: Bolt-action edition"


    An Hour later.


    "Done"


    (That was fast)


    "I found out that even if i just scim through a book i still remember the contents"


    (That physique is really handy)


    "I know right, but back to work, bench pls"


    *Poof


    "That''s a lot of parts..."


    3 Hours later.


    "And... finally done"


    It only actually took me two hours to make the gun itself, but then i had to make some accessories like a canted sight.


    "Let''s go to the Vault System, see what we can find"


    (Roger)


    And so i exited the virtual space, got up from bed and headed to the vault, to which only royalty know of it''s position and being the prince, of course i would know where it is, plus it''s actually quite near to me.


    Guess where the Vault is?


    You can''t?


    That''s ok, nobody could have guessed anyways.


    It was specifically built somewhere no one would think it would be, like the royal magic tower.


    The Vault...


    Is right under my bed.


    That''s right, under my bed is the resting place of Kelands greatest treasures, it is the most unexpected place so it is the most obvious choice to put treasure. And as to why i didn''t know of the storehouse''s existence but knew of the position of the vault, it''s because the former didn''t really like to explore outside, at best he''d go out to run around, he was content staying inside.


    And so i pushed my bed out of the way and ripped apart the carpet, revealing a trap door.


    "Just you wait Orena, im coming"


    I opened the trap door and proceeded to go down the ladder leading down to the vault.

 13 New Firepower

    The ladder was quite long and it would have taken a while before i finally reached the bottom of it, so i applied the ladder sliding technique to get me down faster but it still took me 5 minutes.


    As i reach the bottom of the ladder, i jumped the rest of the way down, it was only like two feet anyway. Looking around, i saw that i was in a well lit tunnel made marble, i mean this was the tunnel to the kingdom''s greatest treasures, we can''t have it made of rock''s while also being dark can we?


    Walking in the tunnel for at least minute, i soon arrived at a large door made of gold, jewels and any other precious materials in this world, it just screamed ''There''s a Great amount of Treasures lying beyond this door here''.


    I took of the necklace and held it up to the door.


    *Rumble*shaking


    Immediately, the key and the door resonated, resulting in the giant door to rumble open bit by bit.


    After waiting for another minute for the door to open wide enough for a person to fit through, i immediately entered and the sight that i gazed upon was nothing short of marvelous, Gold and Jewels stacked as high a hills, rare materials incased in glass, mythical weapons and armor neatly displayed in rows.


    "Let''s see what we can play with System"


    (I agree)


    Without paying attention to anything else i immediately went straight to materials section of vault. The materials were placed in glass boxes, well, what seemed to be glass.


    "They''ve been labeled too... let''s see, this is Churnom Steel, a steel produced by the Ruliv High Dwarves, a masterpiece of their smithing with only a handful being produced within a dozen years, proven to be able to kill dragons... and here we are with a chunk that''s as large as a baseball..."


    (Host let''s definitely get this, we can kill dragon''s if we make bullets out of this!)


    "Yeah, but how many, im guessing we can make at least 5 dragon killing rounds with this much material"


    (No, if we make the rounds Tipped instead of being made out entirely of this stuff, i can make 4 magazine''s worth)


    "Really, then we''ll take it!"


    By the way the System has now three types of ammunition, first is conventional ammo, you know, classic gunpowder, second is specialized ammo, where the propellant is a special concoction that the System brewed up and lastly the newly added dragon killing rounds, specialized in killing dragon''s, it''s definitely most powerful ammo type to date.


    Back to the story.


    Doing the same as to the door, i let the key and glass resonate and soon the glass slowly disappeared, then with that i grabbed the chunk of steel and stored it in the Systems storage space.


    "To the next material"


    And just like when we were at the storehouse, me and the System shopped around for useful materials with some of them being combustible and great research material for the System for his thinking of adding an extra kick to the dragon killing rounds.


    Here''s a basic list of what we found.


    "A Tevben thigh bone, a Tevben is a creature that live in places with extreme pressure like the bottom of the ocean and are rarely seen, as tough as iron and has a great shock absorption property better than Tar''janni Tusk, which is needed cause the now dubbed ''A-D rounds'' has quite the kicker according to the System"


    "Up next is some meteoric material, it approximately weighs 3 tons and is as strong or even stronger than Churnom, but is highly difficult to forge and strangely doesn''t have a dragon killing property"


    "Next on the list is another material we decided to add to the A-D rounds, Nulled Bronze, strangely an elven creation by accident from trying to artificially make a material made out of all the elements, which were water, air, fire, earth and lightning


    respectively, but all that did was make it so that it won''t be effected by those elements, well to be specific it won''t be effected as much anymore by those elements, like it won''t just shoot through the earth just because it isn''t effected by it as much anymore, it will stop at some point"


    "Next up is a Fel''kein Glass, a product of the Frevus this time, is considered the best glass in the world and commonly used in the best telescopes, to which the System turned it into a scope with insane magnification, i can now snipe dragons 45 miles away"


    Git Gud Son, Get On My Level.


    And so the moment we''ve been waiting for has arrived after 1 and half hours of shopping, the actual building of the rifle.


    "...Build it, but make it gun black this time and no engravings!"


    (Tsk, you have no sense of aesthetics)


    "Im being tactical, why do i need aesthetics for?!"


    (Alright, alright im building it, im building it)


    (Processing... Assembling... Done)


    And so a Cheytac Intervention appeared in my hands, it is a gun black color, fitted with a canted sight, a green laser and a normal silencer, yes, a normal silencer for we couldn''t find a sound dampening material like whisper wood, but this would do for now.


    *Bolt being opened


    "Alright, im locked and loaded, now time to kill me a bitch"


    *Bolt being closed


    Changing back to my ''Diver'' series full light body armor, my military fatigues, putting on my reaper mask, my googles with led lights for eye''s and wearing my helmet. I ran out the vault but not before closing it, climbing back up the ladder which took me 12 minutes according to the System and putting my bed back over the trap door to hide it, i jumped out my window and with new strength skill i jumped the wall and ran to my targets villa located half a klick away.


    "The Hunt is on"

 14 The Wolf in the Nigh

    ******************Orena''s POV****************


    "Where are those idiots, they should have been done with it by now, what could be keeping them, we''re they round out, no everything is perfect, how..."


    Orena''s thoughts right now are quite jumbled mess, her goons haven''t returned after all this while and she''s starting to panic a little, well, a lot actually.


    "Fucking idiots can''t even do something this simple or was it that Sophie?!"


    She was both angry and scared right now, ''What if they got captured, what if they sell me out, i''ve got to go to my tower then it''s safer and they can''t just arrest me in my tower'' Orena thought as she organized her priorities right now, and right now it was her safety.


    "Ikor get me a carriage, now!"


    "Yes, master"


    Ikor is her male servant, a filthy and useless man servant in her twisted feministic view. All men are useless, all they can do is our bidding and getting us pregnant with the new generation of mages and that''s it.


    Yep, if it weren''t for the fact that artificial insemination is impossible in this world, the very few but powerful old male nobility, which are rare cause males don''t really have a chance to rise to the rank because of the machinations of these conservative and feministic noble women, but these old fossils, came from a period of war and had been given these positions for their outstanding sevice to the kingdom, and while possible conflicts with the other major powers also do their part in being a deterrent to doing so, all men would have been delegated as slaves in the minds of this twisted Keland nobles that have had their positions for so long and don''t want to let go.


    A feministic nazi regime is the only future facing Keland if this nobles were kept unchecked in their behavior and that is what parents do most of the time, just there to regulate their activity. And as for the artificial insemination thing, i don''t know much about it, just something about the sperm reacting to the mana in the air, and that''s all i know.


    But again, sidetracked, back to the story.


    After waiting for what seemed like eternity to her, which was only like 5 minutes, Ikor came back with a report.


    "Master, the carriage is here, and is just right outside"


    "Finally, ive been waiting, you men are all useless!"


    ''Bitch im not a wizard, what did you expect, me just popping it out of nowhere?!''


    Thought Ikor to himself, but still acting subservient he said.


    "Right this way, Master"


    "Hmph!"


    Orena got up from her chair and walked out the door without glancing at Ikor and with Ikor just following her. They walked the hallways of her villa and soon arrived at the main door, while Ikor opened it for her.


    ''Finally safe''


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    "Target spotted leaving target building"


    Right now im in a bell tower overlooking Orena''s villa, where which Orena waited for her goons to come back with the prince, little old me.


    (Target: Orena Pern, Distance: 368.7 meters, Wind: None, Condition: Clear)


    "Windless night and clear view eh, perfect conditions for a sniper"


    I looked through my scope and aimed for the head, adjusted as necessary and right now my rifle is packing some specialized ammo type just to be sure i killed her.


    (Target is proceeding to escape vehicle, suggesting you take the shot)


    "Already on it"


    Lining up the shot, i said to the System.


    "Activate bullet time"


    (It''s warped perception, but ok)


    And just like that time slowed to a crawl, with Orena just being a few feet away from the carriage i only have one chance, so i squeezed the trigger and then...


    *SL Bang


    The bullet slowly exited the barrel and headed straight to it''s target, while time was slowly going back to normal. I watched as the slow bullet sped up and i waited for it to arrive at it''s target.


    And it did not dissapoint.


    Right between the eye''s, i hit Orena right between the eye''s, she didn''t even see it coming. And with that, Orena''s body stayed up right for a moment, but then slowly fell to her knees, before dropping dead in the cold pavement of her own villa, while wearing a confused expression before she died.


    *Bolt being opened*ting*ting*ting


    An empty smoking casing dropped to the floor as i opened the chamber of my rifle.


    "System?"


    (Killed 1 Orena Pern gained 149 exp. (150/500)


    "Good, let''s get out of here"


    *Bolt being closed


    And so using a rope i set up earlier i rappeled down the bell tower and went back home to pretend to packup.


    Slowly walking the streets of Kelands Capital City...


    Wait, i don''t think i''ve informed you guys of the name of the capital city, so let me inform you now. Kelands city is named in german as Hauptstadt der Magier or translated as The Capital of Mages, it''s kinda an unspoken rule to have your capital named in your native language. Which is another thing i haven''t informed you guy''s about, the languages of this world are quite like their countries with otherworld equivalents, they also have otherworld equivalents and those languages would be german, french, english and russian.


    Let''s move on to other capital''s shall we, the Frevusian capital city of Villes des m¨¦tiers d''art literally translating to The City of Artful Occupations, the Rulivs capital city of §¤§à§â§à§Õ §ß§Ö§ã§Ô§Ú§Ò§Ñ§Ö§Þ§à§Û §ã§ä§Ñ§Ý§Ú which translates to The City of Unbending Steel and lastly the Tealsk capital of Naturan, said to be derived from an ancient civilizations language, and used their word for nature, that language im guessing, is Latin, i mean they only added an N to the word natura, as to why i know latin, i don''t, i just searched for their meaning out of boredom.


    And that''s all, we''ve covered both language and capitals of the 4 major powers of this world.


    And now let''s continue home!


    Or at least meant to, because right now im surrounded by 7 bandits.


    "You''re money or your life!"


    ''Oh god their oblivion NPC''s!''


    Instead of being scared right now, my thoughts were on how cheesy their lines were and one other thing.


    ''Free Exp''


    Licking my lips at the thought, i pulled out Luxus and squeezed...

 15 A Lot of Free Exp

    ******************Lilian''s POV*****************


    In the Royal Magic Tower, Lilian is currently speaking to a servant.


    "Everything is being prepared, Your Majesty, the airship is being powered and being stocked with supplies"


    "Good, we have to get him out here as soon as possible, i don''t feel it''s safe for him living in this place any longer"


    ''I just hope everything goes smoothly''


    Lilian thought as she prepared everything needed for her son''s journey. Suddenly, a globe beside her started to glow a goldish color.


    "Ah, it must be Merri"


    Shooting a small bit of mana from her finger and aimed at the globe, it stopped glowing and is now transforming into a picture of a brown haired woman, not particularly pretty but you could tell her as a noble lady when you see her.


    "Merri why did you call?"


    "Ah im just here to tell you that i arranged all the paperwork and i already prepared him a personal living quarters"


    "You don''t have to go that far..."


    "Oh it''s fine, i really owed you big time so this is a perfect timing to pay you back"


    Waving her hand the woman with brown hair dismissed my mothers complaints.


    "I just hope he''ll have a wonderful time here"


    *******************Jun''s POV*****************


    "Well that''s done"


    Looking at the 7 bandits dead on the pavement i said to System.


    "System?"


    (Killed 7 Bandits gained 175 exp. (325/500)


    "Plunder"


    (Processing... Done...)


    (Dexterous(Innate): I can stack cups and make cards disappear what can you do? Increased Dexterity)

    "What''s with all thief like skills and aren''t there supposed to be more than this?"


    (All the skills are from Orena, according to her memories magic is a combination of hand signs and chanting so naturally dexterity is needed)


    "Oh yeah i forgot to plunder her, but where are the skills of this 7 idiots?"


    I asked confused to as to why the bandits didn''t drop skills.


    (They don''t have skills, have you forgotten already, skills are rare Host, not everybody has one, you just got lucky that your enemies do)


    "Really, that''s a shame, sigh... System, scim through Orena''s memories, see if you can find any outside influences to this conspiracy, cause they wouldn''t be this bold if it weren''t so"


    (Already on it... but, nothing)


    "Nothing?"


    (Yeah, they really just wanted you dead)


    "No bigger conspiracy, no ''im some son of the devil'' cliche?"


    (Nope, just wanted you dead)


    "Oh, well, that''s convenient at least, but what about this guys?"


    (Their part of some underground society working on all sorts of illegal activity and all that trope-y nonsense)


    "Is their base close?"


    (Hhmm, yeah why?)


    "Free exp"


    (You have point)


    "So where is it located exactly?"


    (Just take a right, straight...)


    And after a few minutes of walking in the maze like alleyways, we finally arrived at an 3 story building guarded by 5 goons at the front.


    "Sigh, even the badguys have a taller building than the royal palace, oh well"


    Taking out the Intervention, by the way this has 7 round feed System not a 5 so i just have enough rounds to deal with them.

    *Opens Bolt *Closes Bolt


    Last one.


    "Please dont ki-!"


    (Killed 1 Guard Bandit gained 25 exp. (450/500)


    "Huuu, damn that was exciting"


    Five bullet casings spread beneath my feet and one round left, i decided to reaload both my Intervention and Luxus.


    Putting back the Intervention back in the System, i equipped Luxus and walked over to the entrance of the building.


    Arriving at the entrance door i asked the System to scan the building.


    (27 life signs in 1st floor, 15 in the 2nd, 2 in the 3rd, a total of 44 tangos inside)


    "Alright"


    *Ahem*ahem*inhale


    "FBI, OPEN UP!!"


    "FBI?"


    *Kicks down door


    "Bullet Time"


    (Affirmative)


    Time slowed, men sitting playing cards slowly got up, the ones drinking slowly brandished their weapons while those currently lusting on women in private rooms were caught off guard.


    ''Let the Massacre begin shall we?''


    I thought while i cracked a mad smile on my face but of course that was hidden behind my reaper mask.


    (Killed 1 Bandit gained 25 exp. (475/500)


    (Killed 1 Bandit gained 25 exp. (500/500)


    (Congratulations! You leveled up!)


    (Unlocked...)


    I didn''t have time to check the System prompts as i was busy slaughtering pigs. I killed with 1 bullet each to the head and soon bullet time was wearing off while i just killed my 17th enemy, so i reloaded.


    Time came back to normal.


    The bandits seeing their fellow bandits suddenly dropped dead stunned them for a second before they roared a question.


    "Who are you?!"


    "FBI Agent Mosley, you''re under arrest for illegal activity"


    "A-arrest, this is not arrest no more, this is you just killing us and what is the FBI?!"


    "What''s the difference?"


    Not caring for what the bandits cared anymore, i continued to butcher.


    (Killed 1 Bandit gained 25 exp. (400/1000)


    (Killed 1 Bandit gained 25 exp. (425/1000)


    (Killed 1 Bandit gained 25 exp. (450/1000)


    "What''s going on?!"


    Someone who seemed to be the bandit leader came out one of the four private rooms and saw that only two of his men is left alive.


    "B-b-boss, save us!"


    "Save u-Argh!"


    (Killed 1 Bandit gained 25 exp. (475/1000)


    "Hi, hiiiiii!"


    Gritting his teeth the bandit leader asked the same question his men had asked a minute ago.


    "Who are you?"


    He said through clenched teeth and fists.


    "Again, im Agent Mosley, you''re under arrest for illegal activity"


    "Under... arrest?"


    The bandit leader asked while shaking in fury as he looked at the dark blue humanoid monster with glowing red eyes.


    "Do you know who we are?!"


    "Umm, nope and don''t care"


    Aiming at the last surviving bandit i squeezed the trigger.


    "N-no don-!"


    (Killed 1 Bandit gained 25 exp. (500/1000)


    "Bastard!!!"


    Unsheathing his sword the bandit leader rushed at the monster that killed all his men.


    "Oh? You''re approaching me? Instead of running away, you''re coming right to me?"


    "Die!!!"


    "Oh ho! Then come as close as you like"


    I said as i put Luxus back to it''s holster.

 16 Saved you a Bulle

    Looking at the sword swinging down at me, i didn''t even try to dodge, i just waited for it to connect with my body.


    "Got you, you dwarf!"


    *Boom


    The blow was infused with mana so it wasn''t just some ordinary sword strike, as soon it connected it blew dust and debris everywhere while also working as to alert the people in the other 2 floors.


    "Hahaha, how do you like that?!"


    The bandit leader thinking he was triumphant gloated arrogantly, but reality proven otherwise.


    "Nice work System, the Diver series light full-body armor is working excellently"


    (Of course, i used the King slime blob as the material while also changing its molecular structure to make perfect graphene to significantly up the defense value and even im not sure of its defensive capabilities, but for reference, perfect graphene can take 7000 tons of force before breaking)


    He was unscathed with only his military fatigues ripped, cause its only made of normal dark blue fabric.


    "Godayum this armors OP, oh wait, there''s still you... umm, System how much damage did he do?"


    (Around 1 ton of force)


    "Tsk, tsk weak, too weak, ill just put you out of your misery"


    Saying so i grabbed the m48 cyclone sheathed in my duty belt while thrusting it to his chest and slowly twisting it.


    *Cough


    Coughing out blood, the bandit leader looked straight at the now blue glowing eyes of the monster that suddenly appeared and killed his men, regret, that was the only feeling he can feel now before the monster pulled out his knife while a fountain of blood gushed out and finally letting death consume him.


    His body dropped dead on the floor, the same as his men.


    (Killed 1 Bandit Leader gained 50 exp. (550/1000)


    "First floor cleared"


    I once again grabbed Luxus from my holster and loaded a new mag.


    (There''s still four signatures in this floor)


    "And im betting those four signatures are women"


    Walking to one of the private rooms, the door was slightly open, so i just gave it a push and it revealed a room colored entirely in the color red with wax candles dimly lighting the room.


    In the room was a woman covering herself with a bedsheet hiding in fear in the corner.


    "D-don''t kill me..."


    The woman said while shivering in fear, i didn''t answer, i just stared at her.


    "What are you gonna do to me?!"


    The woman this time mustered her courage and asked loudly.


    "...Nothing"


    Finally closing the door as i left i thought to myself.


    ''Is my costume that scary?''


    *Tap*Tap*Tap*Tap*Tap


    Distracting me from my thoughts however were the sounds of metal boots hitting the wooden floor. The men from the 2nd floor finally noticed something was up, so i waited for their arrival and my blue lights chaging to red.


    *Grin


    "New lambs for the slaughter"


    ****************Richards''s POV***************


    "Don''t worry. Sir Geon the new batch is just down in the basement just like the other ones"


    "Good work, Richard, you do not dissapoint"


    "Always doing my best to please sir"


    "Right your rewar-"


    *Boom


    Suddenly the building slightly shook as an explosion came downstairs.


    "What the fuck is going on down there?!"


    "It seems you have some trouble Richard"


    "Sigh, don''t bother yourself. Sir Geon ill take care of it"


    "No, let my men help, it will be dealt with much faster that way"


    "Thank you for your generosity, Sir Geon"


    "No problem"


    *******************Jun''s POV*****************


    Right now im being surrounded by 14 mercs clearly way better equipped than the bandits were and a knight in full plate armor and wielding a greatsword.


    "I am Ghil, a knight of Sir Geon, identify yourself!"


    A knight that identified himself as Ghil stepped up from the rest.


    "...And who might be this Sir Geon, you are talking about?"


    The knight''s looked at each other with peculiar expressions on their faces before bursting out laughing.


    "Hahaha, midget your not from around here aren''t you, cause nobody from these parts hasn''t heard of our boss before"


    A merc with a tall build and a bald head said.


    "Yeah, ar yeh a dwarf that never left the mountains or somthing laddy?"


    A merc thats clearly a long way at home this time said.


    "Alright enough, all you need to know is he is the Big Boss around here, cause your dead soon, get him!"


    The knight Ghil ordered and so the 14 mercs charged at me.


    "Sigh, no, your wrong, it''s you who''s dead soon"


    Time has again turned to a crawl and is under my control.


    "Now die all of you"


    *************Back to Richard''s POV***********


    "It''s been 5 minutes now and it''s real quiet, do you think they ran into problems Sir Geon?"


    "No probably just a little tougher opponent, it''ll be over soon"


    *Knock*knock*knock


    "Sir, it''s Gihl, the pests been dealt with"


    "See... well done, dispose of it well"


    "I will Sir, but right now i got something to show you"


    "Oh, then bring it in"


    "I would Sir, but it''s big so i have to carry it with both hands and its quite fragile, im afraid ill drop it"


    "Is that so, Richard please open the door"


    Sir Geon was starting to get intrigued by this thing that his knight wanted him to see and politely asked Richard to open the door.


    "Yes Sir Geon"


    Richard walked to the door and opened it revealing not Gihl but someone small wearing dark blue, covered in blood and has red glowing eyes aiming something at them.


    "Surprise"


    "Who-?!"


    "Wha-!?"


    *Sl gunshot*gunshot

 17 My Mini-Militia

    "Plunder, show me the results later"


    (Roger)


    All the corpses and blood then disappeared, leaving only 4 women and maybe the debris as the evidence of their existence.


    "System, check for life signs again"


    (Scanning... the 4 remaining life signs seemed to have left... wait, i detect faint life signs in the basement, a lot of them in fact)


    "Check their memories, see what it is"


    (Checking... checking... got it, seems like it''s children, this bandits kidnap or buy boys that families don''t want and sell them to this bandit lord the he goes and sells them back to Big Boss and he use''s them as cheap labor)


    "Scum, better off being my exp"


    I said as i was realoading Luxus.


    "How many are they?"


    (7, age''s ranging from 5-7)


    "Well we can''t just leave them there, let''s go fetch them"


    I said as i was making my way down the flight of stairs.


    After reaching the basement, it was every bit as trope-y as i imagined, it was dark, damp and wet, yep, clearly a basement dungeon. Walking in the wet floors without a sound thanks to the sound absorption properties of my boots, i soon arrived at a cell. It was dark, but i could see the faint outline of bodies inside, with all them lying down and huddling together.


    Aiming at the lock, i shot it open then i went to check on their condition, the sound of the lock being broken didn''t even wake them up.


    "System what''s wrong with them?"


    (Apart from the classic sleep spell, nothing, not hurt or anything)


    "Can we wake them up"


    (Yeah just give them a few good ol'' slaps to the face)


    "You sure?"


    (Definitely)


    "...Alright"


    ******************Hans POV******************


    I''m unwanted, I''m unneeded, I''m nothing...


    That''s why im here...


    To be sold, just to be worth something...


    All i can do is wait for what cruel fate awaits me when...


    *Slap*slap*slap*slap*slap


    Someone was slapping me awake.


    I slowly awakened from my slumber and tried to see who was waking me up...


    Only to stunned by the sight before me.


    The one waking me up was wearing a skull mask and had 2 glowing blue lights for eye''s.


    "Oh, your finally awake"


    The man in the mask said to me.


    "Now for the others"


    And so the man started slapping the others awake, when one wakes up, he moved on to the next one until all of us were awake.


    "Alright, all of you are awake, so now we get out of here and bring you back where you belo-"


    Suddenly the man tilted his head up and looked at the air for a minute before turning back to us and saying.


    "Scratch that you''re with me now"


    "Uhmm, sir, who are you?"


    "Me? I''m Jun and from now on your my men"


    *******************Jun''s POV*****************


    "You sure we can''t put them anywhere System?"


    (Yep, from the memories, i know that most orphanages here are just fronts for human trafficking)


    "So i now have to adopt them"


    (Not adopting, just recruiting men, what use is a soldier without an army?)


    "But their children"


    (You said it yourself Host, ''The concept of age in this world is pretty warped'', age is no longer a problem here, and please look at yourself, your a 6 year old that commited a masscre, plus children are easier to brainwas- *cough*cough, i-i mean coerced and trained... yes, thats it)


    "Child Slaver System"


    (Hey, don''t you just change my name like that, I''m the Super Soldier System!)


    "Whatever..."


    Looking back at the 7 following behind me obediently i had another question pop out of my head.


    "What are we even gonna arm them with anyways?"


    (Remember when i said i could make weapons out of a piece wood?)


    "Yeah, and i remember being pissed about that"


    (Well to be exact, i turn that piece of wood into points to be used in my factory function)


    "Factory function?"


    (Yeah have a look)


    The System then poofed up a screen, in that screen were pictures displaying different types of weaponry.


    "Wait... this are all WW2 era weapons, System where are the modern ones?"


    (Yeah right, just like ill let you have an army equipped with modern weaponry right off the bat, why don''t you ask for a nuke while you''re at it, level up first Host)


    "Why?!"


    (Balance Host, Balance)


    The System said with a Sagely voice.


    "You stupid System... what are the weapons available?"


    (I''ve narrowed the selection to American, German, Russian and British weaponry)


    "What about Japan?"


    (Have you seen Japanese WW2 weapons, yeah... I''ll pass)


    The System said with clear disdain.


    "Alright now explain points to me"


    (I''ll explain it simply, first step is to exchange material for coins by the pound, with the type of material being worth more, garbage is 10 per pound, wood is 25, iron is 50 while gold is 100 and i only deal with this specific materials, second is just buying the guns if you have enough points)


    Looking at the price tags of the weapons i examined them for the cheapest price.


    (Looking for the cheapest guns? Just use the filter)


    Only then did i notice the filter, so i clicked it and picked cheapest.


    "TT- 19, Mosin Nagant- 37, Ppsh- 56, STV-40- 75... this are all russian guns"


    (The Russian faction has -25% cost effect)


    "What are you soviet?!"

 18 Secret Weapon

    As me and my 7 new recruits made our way home i took this chance to check my gains. I also changed my changed my clothes back to normal, I''m now wearing a t-shirt, a grey hoodie and jeans.


    "System show me what i got"


    (Processing... Done)


    (Congratulations! You leveled up!)


    (Congratulations! You leveled up!)


    (Unlocked: Sub-machine gun''s \u0026 Explosives)


    (Unlocked: Gas operated rifles)


    (Swift(Active): Fast to strike. Temporarily increase speed)


    (Calculate(Active): Doing maths at light speed, thinking about quantum mechanics in my sleep. Increase calculation speed)


    (Charming(Active): Hello handsome. Plus charm effect)


    ...


    "No innate skills huh, all just active one''s and i can''t make any of those weapons anytime soon without any materials"


    I said as i played with a butterfly in my right hand, Orena''s innate skill was quite handy.


    "By the way System, how are we gonna bring them along to my trip?"


    Pointing to the 7 kid''s that are now supposed to be my soldiers.


    (With your Secret Weapon)


    "My Secret Weapon i don''t hav...no...no, System, you wouldn''t be thinking of...using that?"


    I asked in a lowered voice as i realized what the System told me to use.


    (We have no other choice)


    "...Yes, you''re right"


    I said as i clenched my hands into fists with a determined.


    "Ummm, sir, where are we going again?"


    The boy named Hans said while being fearful of me, he also had blonde hair like me but more dull and his eye''s are a brown color, quite honestly he looked quite handsome even though he''s 6.


    "You''re new home, your all my soldiers now so you have to follow everything i say, got that?"


    "Yes...sir"


    Hans and the other 6 nodded. The other 6 didn''t have name''s like Hans, it was like they didn''t even bother naming cattle, fucking bastards better off being exp.


    I''ll decide name''s for them later, but i got too much in my plate right now.


    "System how many points do i have?"


    (500 pts)


    "Get me 8 1911''s and 8 Mosins"


    (Points deducted, items placed in inventory, 4 pts remaining, but why 8?)


    "Cause i don''t want to use this guns all the time, their too OP, plus it reminds me of Tarkov"


    As me and the System talked we suddenly realised we already arrived home. We walked to the main gate on palace walls and ordered.


    "Alright everybody, just nod to my questions and do as i say, then we''ll get past this"


    I said as i looked back at them.


    "Yes"


    They in return nodded.


    "Good"


    The palace isn''t guarded physically but monitored by an automated system that will alert the entire city when something happens so nobody dared do anything, until my tried assassination that is. So when i stepped infront of the gates it automatically opened for me and my 7 men.


    We didn''t go through the front door of the palace, we sneaked in the back. Walking around back and going through the side entrance then went straight to the kitchen.


    "What do you guys want to eat?"


    It was already late so the kitchen staff aren''t here but the lights are still on.


    "Uhhmm, i don''t know..."


    The 7 were feeling nervous right now cause their new ''boss'' brought them to a large fancy house and is telling them what they want to eat.


    Seeing no one giving any specific requests i just said.


    "Fine, ham sandwiches it is"


    And so i started making 8 ham sandwiches, the sandwiches were only made of bread, ham, lettuce, and mutz.


    "Here, here, here..."


    After handing them out one by one i immediately dug in to mine. The 7 hesitated but dug in too and when they did they acted like they tasted heaven. God, is it that good or is it that you haven''t eaten a sandwich... probably the latter.


    As the 8 of us had our sandwich party, in the throne room shocking news just arrived causing the ruling class to gather for an emergency meeting.


    "What?"


    Lilian asked confused and asked again for confirmation.


    "Orena''s dead?"


    "Yes, Your Majesty!"


    "Where''s the proof?"


    "This..."


    Ikor, Orena''s servant hesitated a while before saying the truth.


    "Shortly after she died, her body... disappeared"


    "A disappearing corpse?"


    Lilian asked coldly at the unbelievable story Ikor just told.


    "I swear your majesty, i''m telling the truth i saw it with my own eyes!"


    "...Fine, if you swear to the listening eye of truth, we will know if it''s true or not, do you have confidence?"


    The nobility then started to murmur among themselves once they heard of the eye, for the eye is only to be taken out when something big happens and of course the death of a noble of Orena''s caliber is qualified that.


    "Yes, everything i say is true so. naturally i have confidence!"


    Lilian nodded and did a raising motion with her hand, soon a hole appeared in front of Ikor and soon after the hole was formed, a pillar slowly raised from the hole, on top of it was a crystal eye.


    Soon the pillar came into eye level with Ikor and Lilian gave instructions.


    "Stare into the eye and repeat your statement"


    *Gulp*inhale*exhale


    Ikor gathered his courage and finally spoke.


    "...Orena has died and shortly after death her body disappeared without a trace"


    Staring into the eye, Ikor was nervous as he waited for an answer.


    [...Truth]


    A deep voice that came from the eye said.


    The nobles were in an uproar!


    Someone dared to kill nobility!


    Killing nobility was considered taboo, no matter what crime they did, they wouldn''t be killed the worst punishment they could receive is being sent into exile to the Crownless Isles.


    "This is outrageous, i declare we find this insolent fool!"


    "I second that notion!"


    "I also..."


    The scene was chaos, as nobles worried that there was some body killing nobles so wanted him hunted down to feel safe again.


    "Silence!"


    The chaos immediately stopped at Lilians order.


    ''Sigh, it''s definitely not safe here anymore, good thing Jun is leaving tomorrow''


    Lilian thought to herself as she said.


    "We fill find the murderer and bring him to justice, but first we have to calm down and think on how to do so"


    ''That bitch deserved it anyway''


    Unaware of the chaos he did Jun just thought that the nobility were just arguing with his parents again and continued eating his sandwich with the new recruits.

 19 Stereotypical German Names

    So after the sandwich party was over and getting to know them a little bit better by talking to them, i decided to take this guys to my room to get changed because all their wearing is essentialy tattered large pieces of cloth and also come up with some names for the, germam names thats is.


    And so after getting them in suits i immediately brainstormed for the most stereotypical german sounding names.


    And here''s what i got, Karl, Otto, Steiner, Schwein, Hoch and Kaiser.


    Hans already had a name so i only had to think of 6 names but anyway, Karl is a normal looking kid, Otto has great features, Steiner was pretty smart for his age, Schwein was chubby, Hoch is the tallest among us at 128 cm and Kaiser had noble aura.


    And so after naming them, i decided to start introducing myself.


    "Listen up, My name is Jun Valheim Kalek, i am your new boss and as of today you are my soldiers, you got that maggots?!"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    They stood up straight as they loudly replied.


    "What, i can''t hear you?!"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!!"


    They more loudly answered.


    "Good, i thought i gone deaf there for a second, now you introduce yourselves"


    "Sir, I am Hans, Sir!"


    "Hans, will you accept being in my army?"


    "I would gladly so sir!"


    (Do you wish to recruit: Hans)


    A screen suddenly popped out as Hans said his answer.


    "What''s this System?"


    (It is a function of mine to eradicate the risk of betrayal)


    "I don''t know how to feel about you anymore, sometimes your reliable, other times your a goofball, but that''s aside the point, what are its other functions of recruiting?"


    (It has the functions of linking thoughts for easier communication, sharing experiences as for easier training and now anything they kill you can gain experience from, but only experience)


    "Ohhhh, those are nice functions, yes, recruit Hans"


    (You have recruited Hans)


    (Hawk Eye(Innate): Like a Hawk, no movement escapes my notice. Increased Eye Sight)


    "He has a skill? And here you are saying their rare System"


    (Nope, you just have protagonistic luck)


    "Yeah right, Steiner how about you?"


    "I have no opposition to it, sir"


    (Do you wish to recruit: Steiner)


    ''Yes!''


    (You have recruited Steiner)


    (Genius(Innate): A literal Son of Heaven, there is nothing he can''t do. Increased Intelligence)


    "The rest of you lot?"


    "Please let us join, sir!"


    (Do you wish to recruit: Karl, Otto...)


    ''Freakin Yes!"


    (You have recruited...)


    (Karl)


    (Innocent Face(Innate): You''ll never suspect me, even for the most obvious of crimes. Decreased Suspicion)


    (Otto)


    (Tactician(Innate): Playing the battlefield is just another chess match won. Increased Tactical Thinking)


    (Schwein)


    (Weaponized Body Mass(Innate): I may have thick skin, that''s just because their like fortress walls, impenetrable. Increased Armor)


    (Hoch)


    (Intimidating Giant(Innate): I''m the guy you send to scare the shit out of people. Increased Fear Factor)


    (Kaiser)


    (Politician(Innate): Has the look, aura and mindset of an emperor. Increased Diplomatic Effectiveness)


    "I knew you were shitting me System, if skills really were rare why the hell are there 7 of them right now that are innate"


    (*:@#=+#*%...Miscalculation...Error...Rebooting...Done)


    Not caring for the malfunctioning System, i now finished our little ceremony.


    "Good, now you are my men, i will tell you our group name!"


    "Group...name?"


    The 7 tilted their heads at what their boss was saying.


    "Like something to identify as, something that set''s us apart, we will be called..."


    Pausing for dramatic effect i then continued.


    "Die Bauern"


    "The Farmer''s?"


    The 7 were even more confused now.


    "Yes, for we will be Reaping, Harvesting and Mowing down our enemies, not specifically in that order"


    "Ohhh"


    The 7 then showed looks of enlightenment.


    (Warning, signature tagged Lilian approaching)


    "Everybody get ready, my Ma''s coming!"


    ''The time has come to use it''


    Obediently the 7 lined up side by side each other and waited.


    *Knock*knock


    ''She''s here!''


    "Jun, have you finished packing?"


    "Yes Ma, but i have something to talk to you about so could you come inside for a sec?"


    ******************Lilian''s POV*****************


    "Something to talk about, well ok, i''m coming in"


    *Creak


    "So what do you want...to"


    Lilian stood there confused as to why there were 7 other boys in her son''s room.


    "Mom..."


    Her son came closer with his head lowered and started speaking.


    "You see...I''ve been sneaking out and made some friend''s lately...and...I don''t want to leave them behind...so can they please come with me?"


    He then looked up only to reveal his large blue eyes and the most adorable expression on his face.


    No...no...He''s using it!


    Large puppy like eyes that compel her to give him anything he wants, anytime he really wants something these weapons of mass destruction are always used, her doting mother instincts go against her will to be stern.


    ''No Lilian, steel your resolve, you can''t just let him win every time he uses those eyes!''


    While thinking so Lilian continued to stare directly at the same eye''s as hers.


    ''No...no...''


    *******************Jun''s POV*****************


    ...


    ...


    And thus i won...


    The eye''s were the former''s most destructive weapon against his parents...


    Those eye''s let him be undefeated.


    The eye''s do not discriminate, to be used on either Lilian or Christopher or both without mercy.


    It was really a cruel weapon of war.


    And so the problem of how to bring the new recruits was resolved.

 20 Masochistic Training

    And so after winning, I asked Ma for some spare blankets and pillows to which she agreed and had servants deliver it to my room, after talking for a bit she left because of more important matters.


    "Alright bois, let''s get to sleep, we got a busy day tomorrow"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    "Good"


    And so with that, the 7 and me got into our blankets for i decided not to sleep in my bed for a better bonding experience with my men. Now that i think about it i haven''t slept for the last two days, i was just spending my time in the virtual space really, so this is my first real sleep in another world.


    "Good night bois"


    "Good night sir"


    "Good night System"


    (Good night Host)


    And thus i closed my eyes and fell asleep...


    ...


    ...


    ...


    (5 AM, it''s time)


    *"Reveille" bugel call plays full blast.


    "Ahhh!"


    "What''s that!"


    "Who''s playing the bugle?!"


    The 7 were thrown into chaos thanks to the sudden rude wake up call.


    "Good morning gentlemen, time to wake up!"


    The music then stopped.


    "Huh, but what time is it sir..."


    Hans answered drowsily.


    "You wake up when i tell you to wake up, got that private?!"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    Hans suddenly stood straight as he replied, he didn''t know why but something suddenly compelled him to straighten himself and reply, he was fully awake now. Probably a function of recruitment.


    "Good, you''re learning to be good soldiers, now line up, single file, we''re going out for a run"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    And so the 7 just like what Hans had experienced a moment ago were compelled to do so and got in single file and got out the door following Jun.


    On the way they met Vivian.


    "What are you doing Big bro, and who are these people?"


    Vivian tilted her head cutely as she questioned.


    "Ahem, this are my men and we''re going out for a jog"


    "Ohhhh, but wait, that''s not why i came here, is it true you''re leaving?!"


    "Yeah...Ma said it''s not safe here no more so i have to go"


    Hearing that it was true Vivian pouted adorably as she complained.


    "Why didn''t anyone say anything earlier, i could have prepared a parting gift!"


    "That''s okay, you still got some time, i dont think we''d be leaving this early"


    "I''ll go prepare something right away!"


    Vivian happily skipped back.


    "Why are you awake at this time anyway?"


    "Cause i wanted to ask you really badly so i woke up early"


    Vivian answered while looking back before returning to skip happily.


    "Sigh, alright let''s do this"


    Jun and the 7 then got outside and Jun instructed them.


    "Wear these bracelets and drink these Syrums"


    This were of course the Systems training bracelets and training syrum that increase growth, and so after wearing the bracelets it got extremely heavy all of the sudden.


    "Ahh, so heavy"


    "It feels like im carrying boulders"


    "What do these things do System?"


    (They constrict you to only 10% of your strength and weigh you down accordingly)


    "By how much weight?"


    (Around 50 pounds for you while the recruits get 25)


    "This is masochistic!"


    (And the only way for you to be super soldiers, and it will be more tolerable if you drank the syrum)


    And so i didn''t hesitate to drink the syrum and immediately after that my body brimmed with energy.


    "Everybody drink the syrums, training starts now"


    So the 7 drank the syrum and got ready.


    The training was a standard week 1 military training exercises.


    Day 1


    Walk-jog for 20 minutes (jog for 2min, walk for 2min, etc)


    1 x press-up max score.


    2 x 5 dorsal raises.


    2 x 5 tricep dips.


    1 x sit-up max score.


    Rest 30-90sec between sets.


    *Panting*panting


    And as expected, after the training the boys were like wet rats and panted like dogs, bordering collapse, if not for the syrum giving them energy.


    "*Panting, alright everybody, *inhale, take a bath you all stink, so follow me, there''s a small hot spring over there"


    "Sir, *panting, yes sir..."


    After crawling most of their way there the group eventually arrive at a small indoor hot spring, i bet this was because of the influence of some japanese MC, but i didn''t have time to care for that. And so we entered, and the sight we were meet was gorgeous, it was every other world hot spring cliche combined, and i loved it for that.


    And so we took off our bracelets which immediately disappeared with the System storing them back, we immediately did proper procedure, taking a rinse before getting in the spring, like any good gentlemen, i walked over to the edge of the spring and dumped the bathing solution which turned the normal spring to a herbal bath.


    "Time to relax bois, uurah"


    "Uurah!"


    And so we immediately got to relaxing after training.


    ******************Lilian''s POV*****************


    "Everything is loaded, Your Majesty"


    "Good, where''s Jun?"


    "The prince is in the Hot Springs with his friends"


    "Hot Spring''s eh, what were they doing before that?"


    "They seemed to be training, Your Majesty"


    "Training, he seems to be taking his little retinue seriously, that''s adorable"


    Lilian then turned her attention to her head to the window.


    "What do you think about Orena''s death?"


    "I thi-"


    "Honestly"


    Lilian emphasized.


    "Umm... I think that bitch deserved it for threatening the prince"


    "Damn straight"


    Lilian smiled at the servants answer.


    ''That bitch deserved die for threatening my darling baby boy''

 21 Suiting Up!

    And so after the relaxing bath, the 7 changed into their old suits that have been washed by the System, yes the System has a laundry wash function and now im trying to fix the problem of their wardrobe because i dont like them wearing suits all the time.


    And so we once again came to the storehouse to get some fabric, i had a hard time of choosing camo, should i go classic forest camo or more american, like a dessert camo, but in the end i chose to pick the color i was already wearing, a pure dark blue military uniform it was, fun fact, dark blue is one of best options for a solid color night operations outfit because at night the eye''s can no longer differentiate color. After choosing the camo, the System took their measurements and after a minute, 8 new uniforms came out, there was 8 because mine got shredded and each had tag with their name on it in the breast pocket.


    The uniforms were made of a real tough but flexible fabric that the System turned into something like kevlar, it''s nothing like my ''Diver'' series slime armor but it''s still better than most armor if comparing materials and lighter too. Aside from that we made Body Armor with the same fabric but much thicker for better protection, Some Civilian Clothing, Military Boots, Belt Holsters, Reaper Masks, Helmets, Multipurpose Google''s that have infrared and NV, you know my mask that has L.E.D lights for eye''s, thats the one...


    We were basically kitted out like some special forces operator''s, now for the weapons.


    The weapons i can choose from are only at the WW2 era for now, but all the accessories however, are not restricted to their respective timeline, and that makes the guns extremely moddable.


    The first is the M1911, it was painted black, it had luminescent sights, a silencer, a trigger job, magwell, textured grips just in case we get our hands...wet.


    Next was the mosin, it''s main purpose right now was as a training rifle for the 7 and a stop gap, but i can put a freaking thermal scope on it and a silencer, heck even modify it to have a 10 round magazine.


    And so after all that, from training to now was two and a half hours, so right now was 7:30 am, breakfast time.


    "Alright everybody, change to your civilian clothing and form single file, we''re going to eat"


    And so the 7 changed out of their new uniforms and into hoodies, T-shirts, jeans, shorts or whatever, formed single file and followed Jun back to the kitchen.


    And when they got there, the staff this time were actually there for once.


    "Hey can i get breakfast for me and my friends?"


    "Oh Your Highness, of course, what do you want?"


    "Some eggs, bacon, sausages and some rice"


    "You got it!"


    Yes, rice exists in this world, don''t be surprised, there was an indoor hot spring what else do you expect?


    "Just deliver it to my room"


    Saying so i left the kitchen and went to my room, the 7 of course following me.


    Next on the list was on distribution of arms.


    *Creak*click


    Closing the door behind me i asked the System to summon up the guns.


    *Poof


    Suddenly a cache worth of weapons suddenly appeared in my bed but with no ammunition, the 7 were confused as to why thing''s would suddenly just pop out of nowhere but didn''t ask questions.


    "Alright men, line up, I''m giving you some things"


    The 7 looked at each other, shrugged and got in line, first in line was Hans.


    "Hans, here is you rifle and pistol"


    Hans grabbed the guns still confused but still following orders he just did so.


    "You put the pistol here"


    I said while tapping my belt holster.


    "Ah, okay"


    Hans then followed and put his 1911 in the holster.


    "Good, next"


    Nodding my head i asked the next in line to step up, it was Kaiser.


    "Here you go..."


    And this continued until everybody including me was armed.


    (Servant incoming, e.t.a 7 seconds)


    "I''ll explain on how to use them later but right now we have to it in...3, 2, 1, now"


    *Knock*knock


    ''Nailed it!''


    I thought as i walked to the door and was greeted with a food cart filled with breakfast items i requested.


    "Here is your food, Your Highness"


    "Thank you, please bring it in"


    The servant then pushed the cart inside and left after he set up the dishes on my table.


    "Diggin bois!"


    And so without minding manners we ate.


    *Buuuurrp


    "Sooo, good, am i right boys?"


    "Uraah"


    "Uurah"


    After digesting all that food i decided to start basic training on how to use firearms, with one of the functions the System told me about, sharing experiences.


    "System, how does exactly ''Sharing Experiences'' work?"


    (It works like this, with my help i can choose specific parts of your memory to be shared, now let''s say i choose the parts on how to use guns, while they wouldn''t be as proficient as you, they would be much better recruits to train)


    "And how do i do it?"


    (Just let me do all the work)


    (Choosing...Clipping...Sharing...)


    Suddenly the 7 suddenly looked blanked out and some were even drooling a bit.


    (...Done)


    And then their back to normal.


    "Wha..."


    "...Jus happen"


    Their still a bit confused and dizzy from the looks of it, so i let them gain their bearings for a bit.


    "S-sir?"


    Hans asked hesitantly.


    "You ok now?"


    "Ah, ahh, yes"


    "Answer me properly private!"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    "Now show me how you wield that pistol!"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    Hans then got to a stance, feet wider than the shoulders with his left foot back, grabbed his pistol and handled it like it''s not his first time holding it.


    "This is not as proficient as me System, he looks like he''s been shooting guns for a while"


    I asked in a questioning tone.


    (Not as proficient as you, yes, but now their better than most new recruits)


    "And that makes it easier to train them"


    (Precisely)


    Looking at the 7 now testing out their newfound knowledge and testing out their rifles and pistols, i nodded and said.


    "Alright everybody time for the range test"


    The 7 looked at me and nodded as they automatically made a single file.


    (I also added some common slang into their heads for convenience in communication)


    "Sigh, your really convenient sometimes... I don''t how many times i''ve said it, but i''ll say it again, your really convenient sometimes"

 22 Hans Perspective

    ******************Hans POV******************


    Our new boss is really mysterious.


    That''s a that a thought i had for a while now.


    From the time when he saved us to now, he''s still mysterious to us, he''s so powerful, from his house, the food, the training, the strange hot bath, now strange suddenly appearing items and even memories.


    Who is he?


    We asked.


    I am Jun Valheim Kalek.


    He simply said.


    Why did you save us?


    We asked again.


    Cause i''d like you to be my men, but now let me ask you a question...


    He said as he switched our positions in the conversation.


    ...Would you like to be my men?


    He now asked.


    Yes!


    We simply and resolutely said.


    We had no choice back then, but then he gave us a choice of our own, so of course we''d follow him.


    Now we are doing training again but not like that physical training we did a while ago, we''re now doing gun training according to the memories that suddenly popped up in my head.


    Right now i''m lining up single file with the others, we were also given names except for me, i already had a name.


    I''m also carrying my new rifle and holstered my pistol.


    A rifle according to the memories is a type of gun, at to what a gun is, it is a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets fly out from and kill people, it also has a loud bang, the pistol is also a gun.


    While i was distracted by my thoughts, we arrived at a clear area of the boss''s house and he ordered.


    "Stop, this is perfect, now load up in ammunition while i make the dummies and targets, now line up so i can distribute it"


    Suddenly boxes appeared out of nowhere next to the boss''s feet, that''s been happening a lot. We all lined up as ordered, that''s another thing about boss, we feel compelled to do as he says but we have no problem with that, first in line was me, i was the most enthusiastic out of the 7.


    "Here are your extra pistol mags, pistol ammo and rifle ammo"


    I took the crate with a small box and 3 extra magazines on it, and let the next guy in the line get his ammo. So i carried my ammo and put it down near a tree so i can sit next the shade, so after sitting down, i opened the crate and the little box.


    And obviously it''s filled with ammunition, bullets that is, bullets used in guns to kill.


    Unholstering my pistol, i took out the empty mag and grabbed the small box filled with 50 rounds of ammo and filled it with 7 rounds, repeating for the other 3 extra mags.


    Next was my rifle, the rifle was as big as us but we could manage, it''s not heavy though which is good. (That''s because they got stronger after training)


    And loaded it with 5 rounds.


    *Open bolt


    *Round*round*round*round*round


    *Closes bolt


    And ready.


    *Whistle


    "Gather up everyone, don''t forget to bring your crates"


    Hearing the bosses orders, i quicly closed the crates, put the 3 extra mags in my holster and put 1 mag in my pistol, with the safety on of course, slinging my rifle on my shoulder and got up carrying my crates again.


    Arriving infront of the boss with the others he said.


    "All loaded up?"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    "Good, now put down the ammo and rifles, up first is target practice with your pistols"


    And so we did.


    "Hans, you first, show us what you got, 7 targets and 7 rounds, you think you can do it?"


    "Sir, Absolutely Sir!"


    "I like the enthusiasm, now come step on this line"


    And so i stepped on the line.


    "Great, from here, shoot those, got that?"


    Pointing at the human shaped targets.


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    "Go"


    He said while tapping me in the shoulder.


    I grabbed my pistol, turned off the safety and aimed, focusing on the target, and then squeezed.


    *Bang*Ting


    Looks like the targets were made metal, but didn''t have time to care for that, i just shot the next target.


    *Bang*Ting


    Next.


    *Bang*Ting


    Next


    *Bang*Ting *Bang*Ting *Bang*Ting*Bang...


    The last 4 shots were more consecutive, they were all in the torso.


    The pistol slide then cocked all the way back signifying it was empty.


    *Clap*clap*clap*clap*clap


    Looking back i saw boss and the others clapping for me.


    "You sure got the hang of it fast, you''re a natural Hans, but are you gonna let Hans beat you just like that men?"


    "Sir, No Sir!"


    "Good, now each of you gets a target and i want you to practice your accuracy on those targets until you run out pistol ammo"


    The other 6 then lined up with one target each and started practicing, i too continued practicing.


    And so we continued to empty rounds at the range until we ran out of ammo.


    "Good shots for your first time shooting a gun, now next are the rifles, lets get farther, around 100 yards should do"


    And so we backed up at the location the boss told us to.


    "Now do the same"


    And so we obliged.


    *Bang*Open bolt*Closes bolt


    The sound of Bangs, Opening and Closing Bolts, and Cartridges flying out filled the air as we practiced.


    And soon we ran out of rifle ammo too.


    "Good work everybody, your making me so proud of you, your all natural soldiers"


    "Sir, Thank you Sir!"


    The boss just replied with a proud smile and a nod, seeing him smile and nod at as approvingly make me happy.


    I want to make the boss happy, yeah, i''ll make the boss proud!


    And so a fire in Hans was lit that day.

 23 A Fathers Pride and Joy

    So after both eating and gun training took another hour and a half so right now it''s 9:00 AM.


    After letting the boys get a feel for their new weapons, next was moving in formation to as to instill discipline.


    "Forma~tion!"


    *Stomp


    The 7 then formed a box formation.


    "An~d, forward march, left, right, left, right, left, left..."


    And so we marched in formation.


    We did this for another half an hour until a servant came running up to me.


    "Halt"


    *Stomp


    "Your Highness, Her Majesty sent me here to find you for she couldn''t find Miss Sophie, she told me that the preparations are ready and you have to come to the gate"


    "It''s already time? Ok we will be there"


    The servant bowed and left.


    "System?"


    (Tagged Lilian is confirmed to be in the gate)


    "Alright boys it''s time to go on a little trip will you be coming?"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    The saluted as they answered, a new thing i taught them.


    "Now let''s go pick up our luggage and get going"


    Without wasting another word we went to my room.


    ***************Christopher POV**************


    "It is one Handsome specimen, ain''t it Your Majesty?"


    "It sure is"


    Right now i''m looking at a ship, well to be exact an airship, an original creation \u0026 pride and joy of Keland, The Kingdom of Mages.


    Thought to be just a concept...


    Was made a reality 18 year''s ago, when the first one flew in the skies above the capital, as a show of force and ingenuity of our people.


    Me and My Queen were just children then and were mesmerized by that grand and historical flight.


    The ship itself was given the name, Die gro?e Leistung, The Great Achievement.


    Now there were 10, including this one, in the fleet.


    This one was named simply, The Prince.


    It was controversial when it was named when we commissioned it to be built, because Keland, the country known to be a Matriarchal Monarchy, didn''t have a prince thanks to the Goddesses blessing.


    But that wasn''t the case when Jun was born, his pregnancy was unknown at the time beacause there was still remnants of her sister''s loyal followers hiding, somewhere.


    And any sign of weakness was gonna be used against us and we didn''t want our daughter to be hurt, we thought Jun was a girl until he was born, and so we kept it under lock and key until the situation was safe and the baby was born.


    Who would have thought Jun would be born, the midwife was shocked, and both me and Lilian were agape and asked her to check again, then we checked ourselves, and nope, it wasn''t a delusion, Lilian and I had just given birth to a son.


    Can you imagine the sheer Skock, Awe and Excitement i was feeling?


    I had a Son!


    I readied myself for a daughter, but nope, fate threw that all out the window and gave me a son.


    When the midwife passed us Jun, both of us were shaking!


    When we finally saw what he looked like, both of us started crying!


    Especially Me!


    I bawled at how happy i was, i felt top of world great!


    When i reached out a hand to touch him, he reached back and played with my fingers and was smiling and laughing while doing so.


    There were no more words to describe how happy i was.


    I was just happy...


    And so to commemorate the day of his birth, both me and Lilian commissioned for the best airship the kingdom could currently make.


    The best Materials, the best Frevusian Artist, the best Rulivs Craftsman and the best Mages the Kingdom, the best of everything was used, we spared no expense at creating it.


    And it took 5 years to make this thing, but it was all worth it in both of our eye''s.


    We planned to give it to Jun when he turned ten, but times have changed, it will now be used in his escape to a safer place than here.


    "Have you confirmed everything is ready?"


    "Yes, Your Majesty"


    "Double Checked?"


    "Yes"


    "Triple Checked"


    "Umm..."


    The Shipmaster was confused as to why the King would order so much checking.


    "Just do it and do it properly, or i''ll have you hanged"


    "Ah, Y-yes, Your Majesty!"


    The Shipmaster then turned to his right hand man and ordered.


    "Check it again, and if i know any of you are unmotivated in doing so i''ll have all your balls cut off!!"


    "Y-yes Sir!"


    The Right hand man then hauled ass in doing so.


    "Good"


    I nodded at their efficiency.


    But right now i have another problem, the preparations of The Prince didn''t go unnoticed by the common folk with all this people running around.


    The common folk always like a show, so when the newly made The Prince was showing signs of sailing soon, it became a spectacle for the common folk to look forward to, right now broadcasting magic equipment are always keeping an eye on The Prince, just waiting for it''s maiden voyage to show it nationwide.


    They also asked why The Prince was just having it''s maiden voyage a year after it''s completion.


    We just answered simply.


    Because the time it''s needed is right now.


    They also asked which royal family member will be the one christening it.


    We said.


    No one, we don''t have the time for such bullshit, it will just immediately set off but there will be a royal family member when it does.


    The reporters were confused as to why such an important step would be skipped but continued to ask.


    Who will it be?


    I just looked at them silently for a moment, then said.


    You will know when the time comes.


    Yes, we decide to let the world know of Jun''s existence...


    We decided to let them all know...


    Keland had a Prince.


    And his name was Jun Valheim Kalek.

 24 More Passengers?

    Me and the 7 finally reached the gates of palace walls and immediately see a huge ass carriage just sitting there.


    And inside was my mother.


    "Ma"


    "Oh Jun, you''re finally here, get in, we have to go to the port"


    "The port, are we gonna use an airship?"


    "Yes, we''re using an airship"


    "Yes!"


    I immediately got inside the carriage and so did the 7, i was excited now, of course i knew about airships, they were a symbol of Kelands superior magic engineering, the pride of the nation and there were only 9 of them! (AN: The Prince is supposed to be for his 10th birthday party as a gift, so he wasn''t informed there was 10 in actuality)


    "Fufufu, look who''s excited, we only have to wait for Vivi now"


    Vivi was Vivian''s pet name.


    "I''m Here!"


    And speak of the devil, her she is.


    "What took you long Vivi?"


    Ma asked with a smile.


    "I was getting goodbye present for brother, speaking of which, here!"


    Vivian then handed me a wrapped box.


    "What''s in it?"


    "A scarf, i heard that the place your going will be snowing right now, so i knitted it as fast as possible!"


    "Aww, thanks sis"


    Patting her head while i say so.


    "Alright get on, we''re going to miss the airship, coachman, to the port please"


    "Right away, Your Majesty, hiya!"


    The carriage started to move as the 12 unicorns started moving, yes, unicorns, this is the royal carriage what else do you expect?


    The gates to the palace then opened.


    And what lay beyond the gate was 4 column of soldiers, 2 flanking us at each side, looks like their our security detail.


    The carriage then continued unhindered with this specific road being closed for today, looking outside the one-sided mirror of the carriage, the road also had barricades with people crowding on the other side.


    "Look the royal carriage is leaving the palace!"


    "Ah, The Queen and Princess Vivian must be inside, King Christopher is already at the port!"


    "All Hail The Queen, All Hail Princess Vivian!"


    "Long Live Keland!"


    Most of the voices are of women while the men stay at the back, only able to see thanks to their height advantage, but their cheering is drowned out by the women.


    ''Hmm, the disparity between women and men are really showing, but hey, that''s their problem not mine''


    The World is filled with Unfairness, that''s something i learned from my personal experiences and from watching anime, no matter what, it will exist in some form or another, be it targeted to men or women, the young or the old, it will exist and nothing can change that, for a long time that is.


    A nation may be born from the wants of freedom and fairness to all and they can manage that for a while before succumbing to the test of time, the government that used to be a freedom loving one will eventually be replaced by power hungry men in power.


    True equality does not exist, for as long we stay human.


    It''s a Vicious Cycle.


    I''m just lucky to be isekaid as a prince.


    And so i just closed my eyes and waited for us to arrive at the port.


    ******************Fritz POV*******************


    Fritz is a reporter, currently he''s on standby with his magic broadcasting device ready to report on it. That''s when a fellow reporter he knew, Loch came to his side.


    "Hey Fritz, who do you think will be riding on The Prince?"


    "Ah, i don''t know man, we could have guessed from the name if it weren''t named The Prince, it''s not very fitting for the little Princess and certainly not for the Queen or King"


    "Ha, maybe we actually have a prince!"


    "And you know that''s impossible Loch, the royalty are blessed by the goddess, but you know, that''s gonna be big news if it did!"


    "Hahaha, we can dream can''t we?"


    Loch also just laughed at his own joke.


    "The Carriage is approaching!"


    Fritz and Loch both then turned their attention to the road leading up to the dock, there they saw the iconic carriage being pulled by 12 unicorns.


    "Turn on your device"


    "You too"


    Both men then turned on their devices and aimed it at the carriage, the device itself looked like an orb being propped up by a tripod.


    The orb buzzed and glowed before stabilizing.


    Then all across Keland and even the other 3 big nations, light screens appeared with 720p resolution.


    "There has been development, the royal carriage of Keland''s royal family, is approaching the port!"


    Everybody from lowliest slave to royalty were focusing their attention to this event.


    This was the maiden voyage of The Prince, dubbed to be the best airship Keland had to offer, it took 5 years to make and had just been sitting around a year after it''s built, who would want to miss this?


    As the carriage got close and parked infront of a red carpet leading up to The Prince, no one missed a single detail of it.


    Then the carriage door opened...


    First, to come out was Lilian.


    "The Queen is first to come out the carriage!"


    The people were now even more focused to next passenger, which was obviously the little Princess Vivian.


    And so Vivian stepped out.


    "The Entire Royal Family is now gathered at the port!"


    The people focused on the Queen and the Princess, they started guessing who would ride The Prince.


    But what Fritz said refocused their attention to the carriage.


    "Wait there are more passengers!"


    Hans and the other 6 then stepped out one by one.


    "Who are those kids?"


    The audience then changed their guessing games target to the 7 boys.


    But were once again drawn to the carriage.


    "There still one last passenger!"


    As he said so, a boy the same age as the other 7 came into view of the device.


    The same Blonde hair as their King, the dazzling Azure eye''s of their Queen while both having their perfect features packed into his little handsome face.


    "W-wha..."


    That day...


    Time seemed to stop.

 25 The Heart of a Little Girl

    Time had stopped.


    All attention was diverted to the boy that just came into view.


    The Kelandians gasped.


    The Audience were shocked.


    The other big 3''s Kings stood up from their thrones, they too were shocked, but that''s for another reason.


    All eye''s were bulging as they looked at this boy.


    All was silent...


    "Wooow, so that''s an airship..."


    Until Jun''s voice broke it.


    The people then regained their senses.


    "W-who is that?"


    "Whose is that kid?"


    "He can''t be..."


    As the audience were trying to figure out who this little boy is, Lilian said something that cleared up their doubts.


    "Sweetie, could you introduce yourself?"


    All the turned quiet as they focused to the boy''s introduction.


    Jun looked at the magic broadcasting device and said.


    "Hi everybody, My name is Jun Valheim Kalek, 1st Prince of Kalend, nice meet you all!"


    Jun said with a smile on his face whilst he waves at the broadcasting device. (AN: Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave)


    "OH MY GODDESS HE IS!"


    "Keland has a Prince?!"


    "Great Goddess what is happening?!"


    Those were the voices of the women.


    Let''s next see the reaction of the men.


    "He, he is..."


    *Sob*sob


    They were crying.


    "A Prince...we have a Prince!"


    "All Hail The Prince!"


    "Long Live Keland!"


    Now it was the men''s cheers and cries that drowned out that of the women, the introduction of a Prince meant that male equality to women in this country might have a chance changing.


    They have been feeling oppressed and humiliated by being subservient to women, their male pride didn''t allow them.


    But Jun didn''t care, he already knew that his birth was a secret ever since the System sifted through Orena''s memories after killing her. He was surprised at first, but then didn''t care, he had just been isekaid, why would he waste his time caring about that relatively more trivial stuff.


    As for what people care, i fuckin lived in the 20th century, the age where the internet is supreme, I was a keyboard warrior, i''ve strolled through the battlefield called Discord, survived the Xbox live chat rooms, dealt with the most toxic of players from a variety of games, been bombarded by hentai, shitposts and downright harassed, i had to have pretty thick skin to have survived all that.


    I just simply don''t give a flying fuck no more.


    I''m just here trying to achieve my dream and anyone who''s not willing to cooperate will just have to turn to my exp.


    Not caring about the people no more, Jun jumped down and walked to the ship ramp, of course with the 7 following him.


    Lilian and Vivian just followed.


    Waiting at the ramp was Christopher.


    "Wanna go see the ship?"


    "Yes, but which ship is this?"


    He said as he marvelled at the ship, it was handsome ship!


    It was 140ft long, 25ft high and 40ft wide, it wasn''t made of gold or anything shiny, but the wood was an alluring black, i had no other way to describe it, it was just a type of black that looked really alluring, it was contrasted by white outlined engravings that look like runes.


    "The 10th"


    "The 10th, so this is a new ship?"


    Jun asked a little confused as he didn''t know there were 10 instead of 9.


    "Yes, and it''s name is..."


    Christopher paused for a second, then continued.


    "The Prince"


    "The Prince?"


    Jun pointed to himself as he instantly got an idea as to why it was named that.


    "Hahaha, we had it commissioned when you were born, it was supposed to be for your 10th birthday...but i guess the 6th will have to do"


    "This is, My ship?"


    Jun then pointed to The Prince while he pointed at himself with his other hand and an expression of disbelief on his face.


    Christopher just nodded with a smile this time.


    Jun turned to look at ship again and still couldn''t believe it''s his ship. (Another AN: I can''t believe it''s not butter, idk why i put this, just wanted to)


    "Alright, let''s inspect the ship shall we?"


    Christopher ruffled his son''s hair before ascending the ramp to the ship.


    "Yes!"


    Jun followed enthusiasticly while the 7 followed him like ducklings.


    As they got into the ship, Christopher started recounting how the ship was built and it''s functions.


    "The Prince is powered by the third most largest but the most purest mana crystal Keland has found in it''s history, it has the magic capacity of 150,000 normal crystals"


    So to explain to you how relevant that is, a normal magic crystal can power a normal household in this world for an entire week.


    So that crystal is essentialy the equivalent of a nuclear reactor in this world.


    "Next is propulsion system, it''s a newly invented thing called ''Propellers'', well it was invented 25 years ago for the development of airships, it''s still quite a new concept..."


    Propellers are advanced? I guess their mechanical engineering skills is lagging behind magical ones but come on, you just invented the propeller 25 years ago? I guess i should expect that of a fantasy world, i read to many novels with the same situation as this.


    Not caring for the clearly obsolete propulsion system, to me at least, i started thinking.


    ''Since this ship is mine, i can change it however i like right, i should make a list first of what i want''


    First is definitely, the propulsion system.


    Second is...


    Looking at the deck area, it won''t hold any battleship class artillery, but it can definitely hold some powerful guns.


    "System, can you make it into a flying battleship?"


    (Of course i can)


    "Real-"


    (But you have to unlock artillery first)


    "...When can i unlock that?"


    Suppressing the urge to cuss off the System, Jun asked.


    (...Level 7)


    "How about propulsion?"


    (Vehicles and Vehicle Customization are unlocked at level 5)


    "Really?"


    (Really)


    Mentally stared at the System for a while to confirm it''s credibility.


    (You don''t believe me?)


    "I''d be a fool to trust you immediately"


    (Your words hurt me, Host, you''re breaking my gentle heart)


    "Like hell you have a heart and even if you did have one whay kind of heart will it be?"


    (The heart of a little girl)


    Suddenly Jun had shivers run up and down his spine as he said.


    "Get lost you Degenerate System!"


    (Nooo~ I love Host so im staying~ hehehe)

 26 Set Off!

    As the family of 4 plus 7 toured the insides of the ship, let''s go back to situation outside shall we?


    "A Prince...Keland just gave birth to a Prince"


    "This has never happened before, the royal family is supposed to be blessed by the Goddess to give birth to powerful female mages how could..."


    "Could he be..."


    As the women gossiped, the men were a different story however.


    *Sob*sob*sob


    "Finally...we can be free!"


    "Years of being humiliated...is finally gonna change..."


    "All Hail The Prince!"


    They were still crying.


    Honestly the sight of burly and bearded crying men is Not a sight to see with your bare eye''s, for it will blind you.


    Now those are the common folk, how about the ones up top?


    Let''s check on Frevus first.


    The King of Frevus is currently sitting on his work desk while tapping the armrest of his chair.


    He looked to be in his 20''s the same as Lilian.


    He had brown hair and eyes which made look quite plain, he did wear a monocle though.


    "They have a Prince eh..."


    ''Lilian really is sly, she even kept it from me, and i''m supposed to be her friend, but no matter, now that a Prince has appeared, the problem currently plaguing the 3 nation''s is now solved''


    "Huhuhu, someone call Estelle"


    "Yes, Your Majesty"


    Now to the Rulivs.


    A Dwarve sits on his grand throne, a crown on his head, a beard on his chin and a great axe by his side, he looked to be 30.


    Now imagine him to be russian.


    "Hmmm..."


    "A Prince suddenly appeared out of nowhere, don''t you think it''s to convenient Your Majesty?"


    "Huh? I don''t care, all i care about is our problem is solved, call Helga"


    "Right away"


    Now finally last but not least, Tealsk.


    Sipping Tea by the window, two elegant figures of a male and a female were sitting there.


    One was clearly an adult the other was child, 6 or 7 years of age.


    Both had white hair and emerald eyes, looking ethereal as they sipped Tea with their eye''s closed and wearing purple clothing, the color of royalty.


    They were Elves.


    "A Prince has appeared..."


    "Indeed so..."


    A short pause.


    "You''re time to shine has come Sophia..."


    "It has..."


    Another short pause, before the older male elf slowly opened his eye''s and said.


    "Bag him quick...or else he will get taken away"


    "Fufufu, don''t worry father, i will..."


    This two are the King and Princess of Tealsk, King Henry and Princess Sophia the 1st. (AN: Get it?)


    Strange thing about the King, even though he''s an elf, is only around his 20''s.


    All 4 Super Powers seem to have leader''s of ages only around mid 20''s and early 30''s, i wonder why that is.


    Now back to the ship.


    After touring around the ship for a while, the tour finally came to an end.


    "Well that''s about it"


    Coming back to the deck of the ship, the family knew what was coming next.


    "Well son, i guess this is good bye for a while, don''t worry though we''ll be back together once all this blows over, alright?"


    Christopher said as he grasped Jun by both shoulders firmly.


    "I know Pa"


    Jun then gave him a hug.


    Christopher hugged back.


    "Hey, how could you leave me out of this!"


    "Me too!"


    Lilian and Vivian then joined in the hug, the families public display of affection is of course being broadcasted.


    "Their really close..."


    "So much for The Cold Queen and Blazing King..."


    "I think their crying..."


    The family hugged for a while before moving away and wiped their tears.


    "We''ll see you later okay?"


    "Yeah, later"


    The royal couple plus Vivian then got off board the ship.


    *Wiiinngg


    As they got off, the ship started up it''s magic engine and slowly started to float.


    You may start asking, ''but wait theres no crew'', yes, there isn''t, the ship is set to a destination in auto pilot and has no one else on board except Jun and the 7.


    This is to prevent any possible betrayal or them leaking out of the destination, jeopardising Jun''s safety.


    Don''t worry though, The Prince will fly cloaked and fast so as to get to their destination as fast as possible, and it''s defensive capabilities are enough to block off a dragon attack for 5 minutes, while it attacks by smiting enemies to death.


    The ships cloaking function activated and the ship started to turn invisible.


    "No Prince don''t go!"


    Acting as if their hopes had just been shattered the men screamed.


    If the Prince left, then they wouldn''t get a chance for their dream of equality towards men.


    "No Prince please stay!


    "Please stay!"


    Jun looked at the crowd of men screaming for him to stay and twitched his brow.


    "Bye-bye everybody"


    He just smiled and waved. (AN: When in doubt, Just smile and wave)


    And so the ship turned completely invisible.


    "Noooo!!"


    Not caring about that anymore, Jun just thought of the destination of his journey.


    "Sweisa eh, i wonder what kind of place it is..."


    Jun then looked down at the city from above.


    The city wasn''t grand, but it had a lot of magic tower''s, they were a symbol of prestige among mages and the higher it is, the more important you are.


    For example, The Royal Magic Tower is 25 stories tall completely dwarfing the Royal Palace which is only 2 stories tall.


    He then walked to the bow of the ship, looked at the horizon in front and pointed forward.


    "Set Off!"


    Acting on command, The Prince sped up to 45mph and headed south.


    And thus the journey begins.

 27 The Systems Explanations

    It''s been an half hour since we left the capital.


    Right after we left, i got the System to scan the ship for any trash that we might have missed, unfortunately, all was clean.


    Right now we''re flying above some farmlands, i finally got some free time since i got to this world, so i asked the System something that''s been bothering me for a while.


    "System why can''t i plunder physiques?"


    (What do you mean, you''ve already been plundering them)


    "No those are skills"


    (...Oh, i forgot to tell you, ahem, then let me explain it simply, skills are physiques)


    "What the fuck do you mean..."


    (See, what they call physique is nothing but an innate skill)


    "...What"


    Jun just got even more confused thanks to the System''s explanation.


    (Sigh, innate skills are commonly known as physiques because of how they just randomly appear on anybody, for example that assassin you killed? His skill was more generically known as Assassin''s physique)


    "Why the hell didn''t you tell me this sooner?!"


    (I forgot)


    "You''re supposed to be a System, how can you forget?!"


    (Hey, im not perfect okay, sheesh)


    "And why did you say i had the plundering physique, when it''s supposed to be a skill?"


    (For a cooler effect)


    "What the hell does that mean, are you a chuuni?"


    (If you could choose between Plundering Physique and Plundering Innate Skill, which would you choose?)


    "...The first one"


    (See, i was right to call it physique)


    "Then why do people call it physique rather than skills?"


    (Who''s gonna correct them, they don''t have something like me Host, they can''t just callout for a screen and check their status, they have to learn for themselves, for them an innate skill is a physique while active skills are just skills)


    "Then why didn''t their God''s teach them?"


    (Gods? While Gods do exist Host, what do they care about mortals?)


    "...You have a point, but then what is affinity?"


    (Affinity is just the level of authority you have over magic Host and it''s the Gods who decide that who gets how much authority, you were born from a family blessed by a Goddess to give birth to powerful female mages and yet you were born a male, so the Goddess punished you by taking away all your authority over magic)


    "That bitch of a Goddess...how do i get affinity then, if i can''t use even the most simple magic, that''s gonna be a hassle"


    (I could operate on you to give you authority)


    "Really, How?"


    (Not right now, you''re still too weak)


    "It''s gonna hurt like hell right?"


    (It will hurt like Jesus H. Christ coming over f*cking on you in the ass sideways with his massive schlong)


    "Thats...Specific, im just gonna interpret that as, it will really really really hurt a lot"


    Jun turned to the 7 and then said.


    "Alright guys, i don''t know how long this trips gonna be, so let''s just make the best out of it, so how about we test out the simulations"


    "Simulations?"


    The 7 tilted their heads for their boss was saying weird stuff again.


    "System?"


    (On it)


    Just like last time the 7 suddenly looked lifeless and started drooling but quickly recovered.


    (I added basic former world knowledge to their heads)


    "Really, then lets try it out, Hans, what is a cellphone?"


    Hans thought for a bit the said.


    "It is a hand held device used for communication, entertainment and data sharing"


    "Good, Hoch, what is a pizza?"


    "A piece of bread topped with marinara sauce, cheese and a variety of toppings, with the forbidden one being pineapple"


    "Okay, last question, but all of you have to answer, what is hentai?"


    "...Art"


    "Goood, now of to the simulations, go inside first"


    And so they went inside the cabin, unaware of the dangers that lurk just waiting for them. (AN: I feel like nature documentary narrator now)


    *****************Liben''s POV*****************


    Two hooded figures are currently conversing in dimly lit room.


    "The Prince has left port"


    "Is that confirmed?"


    "Confirmed"


    "Do we know where their going?"


    "No Ma''am, we''re still trying to find out"


    It seems their a man and a woman.


    "...Keep investigating"


    "Yes Ma''am"


    The hooded man the left the room, leaving only the hooded female alone.


    She stayed quiet for sometime then said to thin air.


    "Delilah, can you find where The Prince is going?"


    "Already have"


    A voice from nowhere replied.


    "My my, your really efficient, then take out that little thing"


    "By thy will"


    A shadow seemed to have moved and suddenly disappeared.


    All was quiet again until the woman seemingly started talking to herself this time.


    "That Lilian, that whore that gave birth to a son...you bring nothing but shame to the family..."


    She paused the continued.


    "...My Dear Sister"


    The woman laughed to herself.


    "And that dear little nephew of mine...I''ll make sure to take good care of him, huhuhu"


    The woman continued to laugh maniacally for a while before suddenly stopping.


    "I''ll pay you back for everything you did and to our sisters, just you wait"


    Then the woman herself disappeared from the room.


    A new conspiracy is brewing for our protagonist to handle.


    How will he handle it this time?


    *******************Jun''s POV*****************


    "System, activate simulations"


    (Be specific)


    "...Activate a training simulation"


    (What kind of training?)


    "You cheeky moth-, CQB training simulation please"


    (Coming right up)


    And so the 7 and Jun blacked out, but this time Jun was smart enough to order them to put mats on the floor.


    The 7 and Jun then awakened at the virtual space.


    "Ugh, where are we sir?"


    "A simulation private, you know what that is right?"


    "Yes, it just suddenly popped in my head sir"


    "Good, now we are here for CQB training, but first i have to share the basics to you, System"


    (Got it)


    Once again, the System transferred memories to the 7.


    This time however they didn''t look brain dead, they just look like their being shocked by a taser .


    "Are there side effects to doing this often?"


    (Nope, it''s completely safe)


    "And i don''t trust you"


    (Sigh, the Host doesn''t believe me, it does make my heart ache)


    "Shut it you degenerate!"


    The 7 soon once again recovered.


    "I feel dizzy..."


    "Why does this happen a lot..."


    Letting them have a breather, Jun waited patiently.


    "All good now?''


    "Yes sir"


    The 7 weakly said.


    "I don''t hear enthusiasm in your voice maggots!"


    "Sir, Yes Sir!"


    They stood straight and saluted as they loudly replied.


    "Good, now for the actual training"


    Jun the got into a fighting stance and commanded.


    "Show me what you got"


    The 7 understood and also got into a stance.


    Then...


    They charged.

 28 The Party Begins

    And so me and the 7 fought.


    But then i opened a can of whoop ass, and beat them.


    Right now their laying on the floor, unconscious obviously.


    "What''s next after this..."


    We are still at the basics, so let''s list down what we''ve done so far...


    Physical training, target practice, formations and CQB training...


    "CQB training doesn''t just mean hand to hand fighting, we also have to train on how to fight in close spaces like buildings and we might have to adapt and add sword training, luckily i learned Arnis in addition to martial arts..."


    As he was thinking of the next step training for the 7 the System alerted him.


    (Warning, some things tailing us)


    "Huh, but we''re cloaked"


    (I know but it''s definitely tailing us)


    "Another plot?"


    (Seems so)


    Jun thought for a bit and said.


    "How much ammunition do we have?"


    (Minus the ones you used in training, you have one crate each left of both types of ammunition, and this is your last free ammunition, the rest you have to buy)


    "Good enough, wake them up, we got to continue shooting practice"


    (But an enemy is currently following us)


    "They won''t attack, we''re too close to the capital, they''ll wait until we''re at a distance and in the cover of dark at the least before they even think of attacking, now wake them up"


    (Ok)


    Suddenly the ''corpses'' start to spasm and suddenly rise.


    "Get up, we still got target practice"


    "Yes sir..."


    ''We got some time before they attack, might as well have them practice their aim for later''


    *****************Delilah''s POV****************


    Wearing a classic witch outfit and currently flying on a broom is Delilah.


    She is part of a group loyal to Jun''s unknown Aunt, and which is named, if you haven''t guessed already, The Witches.


    She is currently tasked to track The Prince, currently cloaked and is also flying, but she actually did it.


    Might be related to a skill of hers.


    But back to the story.


    "The Prince is definitely traveling in this direction and i can detect faint magic energy 500ft above"


    Delilah looked at the seemingly empty sky and took out something from her mage hat.


    "I found it"


    "Good, then go as planned"


    "As your wish"


    Delilah then put the device back and took out an identical one.


    "Make a perimeter around this area, prepare for a night attack, ready the witches"


    "As you command"


    Delilah once again out down the device and muttered to herself.


    "Poor little Prince, thinking your safe in your little ship, but actually are in the jaws of death without knowing about it, The ''Queen'' is naive if she was thinking those defenses are enough to protect you, but we have our ways"


    She turned and flew in the opposite direction, not knowing that she wasn''t the only hunter...


    ******************Lilian''s POV*****************


    Lilian of course being the overprotective mother she is, won''t just let her son be in danger and definitely won''t just rely solely on The Prince''s defenses.


    "Are the preparations ready?"


    "Yes, Your Majesty, the fleet is on stand by and is waiting for them to reveal themselves"


    "Well done, outstanding as always"


    "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty"


    ''Lets see if there are anymore rats hiding in the shadows that we missed''


    "You may go now"


    "As you wish"


    The servant bowed and then left.


    And so a deadly game of cat and mouse is being played.


    With Jun being used as a prize.


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    Time passed fairly quickly in the virtual space, with me and the 7 just doing target practice.


    It already was around 7 according to the System, of course we took breaks when we had lunch and snacks but that''s about it.


    So lets go back to the explanation on our training progress.


    Not just stationery one''s though, we also had targets moving at different speeds and some even fly.


    All to better their accuracy, and it seems to be really effective.


    Not only their accuracy, their proficiency in handling firearms have drastically improved.


    Their reloading faster, shooting faster and acquire targets faster.


    As expected of geniuses.


    And i also benefit from this, for sharing experiences goes both ways, which means, if they get better i get better.


    But that''s not important right now...


    (Large numbers of hostile forces slowly converging on all sides!)


    The Exp''s finally making their move.


    "All right boys, looks like your baptism of fire is coming earlier than expected, you may be inexperienced, but our weapons give us an advantage, so let''s give the hell oorah?"


    "Oorah!"


    "Nice, System get us out here!"


    Jun and the 7 immediately disappeared and immediately awakened on the ship''s cabin, scrambling to their feet and grabbing their rifles.


    While Jun summoned up the ammo and started distributing it.


    "Lock and Load!"


    The 7 started loading their rifles and pistols, while Jun acquires more about the enemy.


    "How many are there?"


    (Counting 50 total units)


    "Ha, the more the better"


    "Locked and Loaded, Sir!"


    "Great, now here''s the plan, Hoch, Kaiser, you set up at the bow, Steiner, Schwein, Karl and Otto you defend our port and starboard sides, Hans your with me, we''ll take the stern, everybody got that?"


    "Oorah!"


    "Now, go, go, go!"


    Immediately they ran to their designated positions and waited.


    "Hans, follow me"


    "Yes sir"


    They went outside the cabin of the ship and started walking up the stairs to the stern of the ship.


    "We''re the best shots out here, Hans, so our jobs will be to cover the rear and support the rest when they get in too disadvantageous of a position, got that?"


    "Roger"


    Turning back to look back at the other 6 and then at the surrounding seemingly empty skies, Jun said.


    "Let''s get this party started, shall we?"

 29 Nothing seems to go righ

    *****************Delilah''s POV****************


    "The Ship is right infront of us, are the counter measures prepared?"


    "Yes, the lighting crystal and specialized magic bomb are prepared"


    "Good, now tighten the noose and prepare to attack"


    "As you command"


    The subordinate witch then left and rejoined formation.


    Delilah looked in front of her, she had confirmed that The Prince was currently flying in this space, so she just needed to not let it escape and get rid of Jun.


    "Are you sure there not gonna give us a surprise?"


    Suddenly another witch approached her and seems to be of different standing from the other witch.


    "Pel, there are only the little prince and 7 other boys in that ship, what kind of surprise can they give us?"


    The witches name was Pel, she seemed to be friends with Delilah.


    "Just a hunch"


    Pel shrugged and the said seriously.


    "The Queen isn''t naive as you think Delilah, this is the same princess that won the throne, she''ll be more careful than this"


    "You think i don''t know that? I know she isn''t to be underestimated, but my plan is fool proof"


    Delilah said confidently.


    Pel stared at her friend for a while before sighing.


    "All right i''ll trust you"


    "That tone makes it hard to believe that statement of yours"


    "No, i definitely trust you"


    "Then let''s get this job over with, then i''m buying sweets!"


    "Really? You can''t take that back!"


    "Yeah, yeah..."


    Delilah just smiled in exasperation at her friend.


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    Meanwhile on the ship, Jun was preparing a surprise for the witches.


    "System, summon up their gear next to them"


    (Haaaiii)


    Suddenly tactical gear suddenly appeared next to the 7 and Jun''s gear just appeared on his body, a new function of the System he had just found.


    "Gear up boys, better safe than sorry"


    The 7 nodded and got to wearing their military fatigues, body armor, mask, helmet and


    googles.


    "Switch to infrared, the enemy is using cloaking devices"


    As he said so he changed his own googles to infrared and immediately met with heat signatures surrounding them.


    "What distance are they System?"


    (75 yards and closing)


    "Let''s wait until 50, everyone ready?"


    "Sir, Yes Sir"


    Jun nodded and simply said.


    "Await my orders"


    The 7 also nodded and focused on the heat signatures closing on them.


    Jun also waited and aimed at the closing enemy force coming from the rear, with Hans beside him.


    (70 yards)


    (65 yards)


    (60 yards)


    ...


    ...


    (50)


    "Open Fire!"


    And thus all hell broke loose.


    ****************Pumpkin''s POV***************


    A few moments before they crossed 50 yards.


    Pumpkin was nervous.


    She was nervous because of the target of this mission.


    This was a Prince we''re talking about! Aiming for him meant treason!


    "Why are you nervous Pumpkin?"


    A fellow witch asked beside her concerned.


    "I-it''s just that...this is royalty, Mena, if we..."


    Her name seemed to be Mena.


    "I know it''s a Prince but we''re working for the ''Real'' Queen of Keland, and that Prince is a sign of that, have you heard of a Queen giving birth to a son?"


    "N-no..."


    "Yes, no, because they are blessed by the goddess to give birth to powerful female mages, and everyone knows that, so you don''t have to be worried"


    Seeing Mena try to calm her, Pumpkin felt less nervous now.


    "Thank you, Mena"


    "You''re welcom-"


    *Bang*bang*bang*bang


    Suddenly loud bangs could be heared and before anyone could react, witches started dropping.


    Including Mena herself.


    She had a hole on her chest which quickly started bleeding.


    *Cough


    She coughed out a mouthful of blood, looked at Pumpkin with shock written on her face...


    Stared her right in the eye...


    Before she slowly closed her eye''s and dropped out the sky from her broomstick...


    Pumpkin looked on with skock too.


    She watched it all in a dream like state for a moment before waking up.


    "MENA!!!"


    She screamed on the top of her lungs.


    But no one was surprised at her reaction, for they too had the same reaction.


    "Kily!!"


    "Elen!"


    Screaming the name of their now dead sisters, full of grief was their voice, it was music to Jun''s ears.


    "Keep Calm You Idiots, Attack The Ship, They Discovered Us!!"


    Delilah ordered loudly.


    Her shouting woke up the witches to reality, they turned they''re grief to anger.


    The attack came from the cloaked ship''s direction, that was the reason they lost they''re sisters.


    "Attack The Ship!"


    "Kill The Prince!"


    Even Pumpkin joined, all her nervousness washed away by blinding anger.


    "Kill!"


    She roared.


    "Use the lighting crystals to absorb the lightning, it''s The Prince''s main form of attack and get close to set up the specialized magic bomb to take out the barrier!"


    Delilah ordered.


    The witches sped up their brooms to attack the ship.


    *Thunder*Crackle


    Suddenly lightning appeared and attacked the witches.


    But a witch just raised a crystal and it seemed to attract the lightning to it.


    The lightning was then absorbed inside the crystal.


    That''s the key word here, Absorb, which means it has a capacity, so they have to do this quick and kill Jun before it fills up with energy.


    The witches quickly reach the ship...


    But at a cost.


    They lost 20 sisters in those short moments, how long has it been, 5 seconds to get close to the ship?


    In the span of those 5 short seconds, they almost lost half of they''re force.


    "Quickly set up the bomb, don''t let our sisters death be in vain!"


    It wasn''t Delilah this time, surprisingly it was Pumpkin who said that.


    A witch then found The Prince''s barrier and put a device on it, it seems this is the bomb they we''re talking about.


    She then flew away from the bomb.


    "Activate!"


    *Boom!*Bzzzzzttt!!


    The explosion was powerful, but it was nowhere close to a dragon attack, it was just a specialized bomb developed to take out an airships barrier and this one is approximately 4 times more powerful, accounting for the better quality of The Prince.


    After knocking out the barrier and waiting for the dust to clear, they we''re met with an empty ship deck.


    "Check below, find the Prince, we have sacrificed too much to fail now, and find him quickly"


    "As you command!"


    The witches got on board the ship and immediately started searching.


    Not knowing the ill fate that will meet them...

 30 A Monsters Satisfaction

    ******************Lilian''s POV*****************


    You might be thinking, where is Lilian?


    Well right now...


    "What are you doing?"


    Asked Lilian coldly.


    "Stalling for time"


    Said a witch while smiling.


    Currently the fleet of airships is currently surrounded by hundreds of them.


    There are 4 ships in the fleet here and the rest are deployed somewhere else, like highly contested borders or places of significant value.


    What''s worst is that the enemy has their own airship, they can take it down, but that would take time.


    ''They even managed to make their airships, just how many rats are there?!"


    Lilian was now stuck in a dilemma


    If they have ship split off from the fleet, it will be targeted, and each ship is an important asset.


    If they lose even one that''ll be a huge loss to the kingdom.


    Lilian said through gritted teeth.


    "How long will it take to brake out?"


    "We estimate around 5 minutes, Your Majesty"


    "Can we breakthrough faster?"


    "Yes, if we overdrive it will be 2"


    "Do it"


    "Yes Ma''am, initiate overdrive!"


    "Confirm overdrive"


    "Confirmed"


    "Roger, confirmed overdrive, commence overdrive procedure"


    *Wiiiinnnngggg


    The magic engines on the ship buzzed as it is worked beyond it''s limits.


    "As expected, go as planned, we just need to stall the for 3 minutes, 3 minutes and our job is done, got that?"


    "Yes!"


    "Now hold them off, first barrage!"


    "Full speed ahead!"


    Lilian bellowed.


    "Vsg''eg''shwj..." (AN: Magic needs chanting and hand signs, that''s why Orena had dexterity based skills, theres also no chantless magic bullshit like that, it has to be within the rules of magic made up by the gods of this world)


    "Thw''bsbn''a..."


    Suddenly mana of all different elements gathered into shapes, a flaming spear, a wind orb, earth fists...


    And all of them unleashed against the magic barriers of the fleet.


    *Boom*rumble*boom*boom


    The impact from the multitude of different spells rocked the ships.


    "Khhgh, hold tight, and don''t stop moving!"


    That doesn''t mean the fleet isn''t fighting back however.


    *Thunder*thunder*crackle!


    Lightning spewed from the ships, taking out a few witches with them.


    While mages on board attacked with their own spells.


    The battle was raging, spells of different colors lit up the night sky.


    It was beautiful yet bloody sight.


    Screams and explosions rang through the air.


    It was a battle of epic proportions, but this fight does not matter, for what matters is the battle on The Prince.


    So lets go back shall we?


    ****************Pumpkin''s POV***************


    "Where is he?"


    "Not here, probably on the lowest level"


    "Heh, probably scared"


    "Enough, let''s just get this over with, we can''t let our sisters death go in vain"


    "Yeah, your right"


    The Witches have already searched the brig and second to the lowest level of the ship, only the lowest level was left unchecked.


    The second level of the ship by the way is the engine room where the magic crystal is and five witches of the defense group was assigned to watch over it.


    The remaining witches split into two groups with 15 each in a group, one searched while the other stayed on deck to ward off any danger.


    Currently the search group split again to make 3 squads, and Pumpkin is a part of one of those squads.


    "What do you think killed our sisters?"


    "...Can we not talk about this?"


    Pumpkin clenched her fists at the thought of Mena''s death, it was just so surreal and it etched itself into her memories.


    "Sorry but we have to, we didn''t even see a spell coming and the ship''s only way of attack is through lightning according to the intel"


    "Could it be there are some hidden guards here?"


    "No we can make sure of that, and the kid''s don''t have magic either"


    "What could it be then..."


    The squad soon reached the lowest level of the ship, it was used as the cargo hold so it didn''t need to be lit so it was pitch dark.


    The cargo was neatly placed on both sides of the ship and a the center was clear.


    "I don''t like this..."


    "Maybe we should wait for the others..."


    "Yeah, i agree..."


    The Witches didn''t have a good feeling so they waited for the rest of the search group to arrive.


    And that didn''t take long however.


    "Hey, what are you guys doing?"


    "Waiting for you guys"


    "What, scared of kids?"


    Joked a fellow witch.


    "We just don''t have a good feeling about it ok?"


    "Ok ok, safety in numbers it is then"


    The last 10 remaining witches of the search group then also came down to the lowest level and immediately felt something off.


    "Yeah i see what you mean, this place makes me uncomfortable"


    "See, we told you!"


    "Yeah yeah, let''s just get the little brats already"


    The 15 witches then started to walk in the center slowly.


    Some casted small flames to light up the area.


    "Hey, kid, if you just come out we''ll spare you!"


    Of course that was a lie, they we''re sent here to kill and have no intention of sparing anybody to pay for the death of they''re sisters.


    They continued to walk for a while.


    They almost reached the bow of the ship when the flame revealed a small silhouette.


    "There you are kid, now just come here and tell your little friends to stop hiding too"


    The small silhouette didn''t reply.


    "Haha, your really creepy, real funny, if you don''t want to die kid, come here!"


    The witch then got closer to the silhouette with a flame on her hand.


    As she got closer however, it just revealed more small silhouettes.


    "So this is where you have been hiding, come over here!"


    She got bolder and got closer.


    Suddenly, 7 pairs of blue lights lit up.


    They all stared at her.


    "Hahaha, real sca-"


    *Bang


    Before she could finish her sentence, a hole was already on her head.


    The lights then changed from blue...


    To Glowing Red.


    "W-wha-"


    *Bang*bang*bang*bang*bang


    The same as then, before they could react, many were already dead on the floor.


    "R-retreat!"


    The Witches then ran.


    As they ran though they were still under fire, so many died while trying to run away, all that did was made them die tired.


    Pumpkin also ran.


    Fear clouded their judgement, they didn''t even try to fight back, the memory of the sudden loud bangs and their sisters suddenly dying is still fresh in their minds.


    So they ran...


    Until only Pumpkin was the only one left...


    She almost made it, but oh-oh, she tripped.


    She tried to get back up.


    She looked up...


    Only to find red, glowing, eye''s staring at her...


    Frozen with fear, she just stared.


    But, ''It'' didn''t care how shocked she was.


    It raised something and put it to her forehead.


    "P-please..."


    She shed tears and wet herself...


    A look mixed with horror, fear, unwillingness and a hint of rage plastered on her face...


    But that only did one thing...


    "Now this...Does put a smile on my face..."


    It just satisfied the monster.


    "N-no-!"


    *Bang


    Then all was quiet.

 31 Hans...

    Of course that ''Monster'' is our MC, and he is sadistic as always.


    *Whistle


    "Gather up, that''s fifteen more down, we only have fifteen left to go"


    And of course the small silhouettes are the loyal 7.


    "Reload"


    And so the 7 and Jun reloaded they''re pistols.


    They needed quickly dispatch the enemy witches before they could cast a spell, the bolt-actions are powerful and accurate but they have a slow rate of fire, so they switched weapons.


    Plus they have the advantage of being indoors.


    They re-equipped they''re rifles.


    "Let''s go"


    And so they quickly moved upstairs to take out the rest of the witches.


    *****************Delilah''s POV****************


    "What''s taking so long?"


    Delilah was getting irritated.


    Her plan was perfect, but then something messed it up and she almost lost half of her group.


    She wished nothing more than to tare apart those little brats to eliviate her anger.


    "See, they gave us a surprise didn''t they?"


    Pel then came.


    "...What killed them?"


    Delilah asked.


    Pel hesitated for a moment before saying.


    "...Don''t know, just have holes in their bodies, didn''t even see them coming"


    "Arrows?"


    "Didn''t find any, spell?"


    "I didn''t sense any magic, what could it be..."


    *Muffled gunshots


    As she was thinking, muffled sounds came from one level below the ship.


    "What''s going on!?"


    The 10 wiches guarding the deck were also alerted to the noise.


    "Check the engine room!"


    "Yes Ma''am!"


    The witches quickly moved downstairs.


    They arrived at the door to the engine room it was closed but not locked.


    They opened it...


    And was met with a sight.


    7 small men standing side by side with sticks in their hands and 1 standing in front with his hands behind his back, they were all wearing strange dark blue clothing.


    ''He is clearly the leader''


    Delilah thought.


    But what was more important however, was the 3 fellow witches bound to chairs bloodied.


    They were clealy injured.


    While 2 corpses lay on puddles of they''re own blood.


    "Liney!"


    "Reln!"


    "Tulip!"


    They shouted the names of the bound witches and the dead witches.


    Delilah just stared at the leader of the group.


    After a while she said.


    "Prince, i know it''s you"


    The leader stayed quiet for a while.


    Before saying in his child voice.


    "How did you know?"


    "Well there are 8 of you and your size gave it away"


    "Aaww, i wanted to be mysterious, your no fun"


    Saying so he took off his helmet, his googles and then his mask.


    Revealing his blond, gold like hair and dazzling azure eyes, sparkling more than the worlds most precious sapphire and a face that inherited only the best features of his parents.


    *Hiisss


    All the witches drew sharp cold breathes at the sight.


    ''He was so cute!''


    But came back to reality, this was the target, if they could kill him this would be all over!


    Delilah paused for a while before saying.


    "You admitted easily"


    "Didn''t want to waste time"


    He just shrugged as he said.


    "So if you don''t want to waste time then free those hostages and give up"


    She said.


    "Hostages?"


    He looked at the tied up 3 and instantly understood.


    "Ah, this aren''t hostages, i just wanted an audience to this execution, Hans..."


    "Yes sir?"


    "...Gets sie Luger"


    "Right away"


    He then grabbed a box from a nearby table and handed it to him.


    While he opened it and procured the item inside.


    It was a strange contraption.


    ''What is it?''


    She thought.


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    Ah, The Luger, the perfect weapon for any occasion, perfect for executing POW''s, Enemies of the Third Reich, Civilians, Children and soldiers not following orders.


    Just joking.


    I''m just doing this for the meme.


    I got it when i was equipment for the 7 and found a pile of scrapwood, so i traded it.


    *Cock


    Cocking the slide, i aimed at the girl bound in to the left.


    *Pak!


    Straight through the head.


    "Tulip!"


    A witch screamed.


    It seems the one i had just shot was Tulip.


    Let''s see who the next the one is.


    I aimed again.


    *Pak!


    Another one.


    "Liney!!"


    Another witch screamed, she was prevented from charging at me by another witch.


    "Kill Him!"


    Delilah ordered.


    "He-der''cr..." (AN: All the spells are made up, you think i would waste my time making a magic system? Read my f*cking username)


    She then cast a spell.


    The others followed behind and casted they''re spells also.


    "Sigh, not even gonna enjoy the show..."


    *Pak!


    Dead.


    "Open fire"


    The 7 then raised their rifles and fired at will.


    *Bang*open bolt*bang*bang*bolt...


    Soon gunfire drowned the room.


    Witches dropped left and right.


    "Defensive spells!"


    It was Pel this time that ordered.


    Soon they changed their attack spells to defensive ones.


    But they weren''t enough.


    The bullets just pierced through them.


    Hitting the witches trying to defend themselves.


    The witches realized it was futile so Delilah ordered.


    "F-fall back!"


    She had been injured by a bullet to the left shoulder.


    There were only 6 left of the 10 and most are injured.


    They covered escape by making smoke with magic.


    And then ran to the deck.


    "Pursue"


    The 7 then switched to infrared to pursue them in the smoke.


    So when the witches turn back to look.


    They see 7 pairs of red glowing lights pursuing them relentlessly.


    4 more witches dropped as they retreated to the deck of the ship.


    Only Delilah and Pel were left.


    When the 2 reached the deck, they tried to get on they''re brooms, but took a bullet through the knee.


    "Arrgghh...This is no Prince, it''s the devils child..."


    Pel said through gritted teeth for she was in pain.


    *Tap*tap*tap


    They looked up, only to see Jun.


    "Let''s have a nice chat shall we ladies?"


    He said smiling.

 32 Preference

    I look at the captured witches in front of me, currently they have also been tied up like the previous three.


    They''re bound to chairs and had they''re mouths gagged.


    But he won''t kill them quickly this time.


    "Do you know why you were captured?"


    The two stayed silent.


    "No guesses?"


    Still silent.


    They just look at me, devoid of expression were they''re faces, not showing anger, hate or anything, just void.


    "Tsk, your no fun..."


    Saying so i took my butterfly knife and played with it and continued talking.


    "So not gonna talk react eh, I, who am your target, the one that killed your comrades, am just standing here, literally inches away and you don''t feel anything"


    Finally after saying that i got a reaction in form of clenched fist.


    Veins bulging and all.


    "So you do feel something, now let''s move on, bring them in"


    Saying so the 7 brought over 5 injured witches.


    Seeing the injured witches, the two finally showed emotion on their faces.


    That was utter rage.


    They gritted they''re teeth and clenched until their fist until they bleed.


    The 5 however, they where showing utter fear.


    Quite different reactions.


    "Now your job is just to watch our little show, easy right, you just have to watch"


    I signaled for the 7 to bring over one of the five.


    They quickly brought over one.


    "Mnhhnmm!!"


    She let out a scream and struggled a bit but it was futile.


    They also brought over a third chair.


    I placed the chair in front of the two witches and had Karl tie her to it.


    "Strip her"


    And so they did, and the witches could only watch for i had the rest of the 7 force them to watch.


    *Rip*rip


    Karl then ripped off her clothes leaving her naked and quivering.


    The two in the chair now tried to get out of they''re restraints.


    They couldn''t take it anymore, they had to kill this ''Monster'' disguised as a child!


    But i made sure the restraints were made of durable material.


    The only thing they could do is glare at me with killing intent.


    But i don''t care.


    I circled the witch and looked at her up and down.


    But not with lust, i just thought of a random idea that suddenly popped up in my head.


    ''Hmm, the average looks in this world would have have been considered pretty in my former one''


    This witches figure was also considered average in this world, but would have made men drool in my previous one.


    She had pretty ample breasts for her age, i think she''s around 14?


    Yes, 14, cause i now adapted on how to judge age in this world, if a kid looks 7 he''s 5, if someone looks 30 he''s on his mid 20''s.


    Right now she looks 16-17 so i say 14.


    But i then stopped wasting time on weird thoughts and started the show.


    But to make it clear.


    I''m gonna torture her, yes.


    But have no intention of raping her, why?


    Cause then i would be loser.


    I needed to capture and restrain a woman before i could have sex, Pathetic!


    That''s what loser''s who can''t get a girl do!


    I''m a fucking Chad, i will pursue a woman fair and square, and make her fall for me on her own!


    Because i still have some semblance morals in me!


    Plus i have my preference.


    She didn''t need to be pretty, she just needed to make my heart skip a beat.


    Any size of breast, what i care for is shape, Wide childbearing hips, a Big Butt and a little chubby so i can eat her up...


    WAIT!


    Why am i sharing my preferences, Back to the Story!


    And so i finally stopped circling and arrived behind the girl.


    I put my palm under her chin, used my fingers to pinch her cheeks and her stare at the two.


    "Mhhhm-mmmh!!"


    The two tried even harder to breakout.


    But it''s still futile.


    As for them using magic, that''s the problem of magic in this world, the need for booth chant and hand signs to be used in a specific order in a specific speed.


    It''s highly inefficient, and i hate inefficiency, that''s why guns are better than magic.


    It''s easy to use, much quicker and more efficient.


    Magic may be powerful but if the magic system isn''t changed it will be useless to me.


    "Watch closely"


    Saying so i stabbed the knife in her thigh and slowly twisted.


    "Arrrhhhhggggh!!"


    A muffled scream escapes the gag as the witch had a look of extreme pain on her face and tears started to roll down her face.


    I pulled it out.


    "Wow, so refreshing!"


    I had a smile of satisfaction on my face as i said so.


    "That was just warm up, the real stuffs just starting"


    And so i walked to the nearby table and grabbed a tool kit.


    I had to improvise.


    I opened it and see pliers, scissors, saw, hammer and etc.


    I grabbed some clips first.


    I walked up to the witch again and put the clips on her nipples.


    "Aarrrhhggg"


    The clips are jagged so it must hurt.


    Next i grabbed a hammer and nails.


    I squat dow, aimed a nail to her knee and raised my hammer...


    Then brought it down.


    "Aaaaaarrrrghhhhh!!"


    Another swing.


    "Aaarrrtgghsh!!"


    She thrashed in her seat so it made it hard to aim.


    The one''s watching were horrified, but couldn''t look away.


    They wished they had a quick death rather than go through that.


    But im not gonna give that to them.


    Final swing.


    "Arrrrgghhh!!!"


    *Panting*Panting


    The witch was now panting and quivering, drenched in both sweat and blood.


    Her eye''s were getting unfocused.


    I think she''s dying.


    "We won''t maximize satisfaction if she dies right now..."


    (You could always heal her)


    The System suddenly said.


    "How?"


    I asked.


    (I could take concentrated life force of your plundered and turn it into an epipen that can heal any injury inside and out)


    "Why not just transfer it?"


    (That needs contact and this function is supposed to be used on your soldiers so as to prevent death for you may not reach them in time)


    "...How much life force exactly?"


    (50 life force each)


    "Get me one then"


    An epipen then appeared on my palm.


    It just looked like an epipen, nothing special.


    I grabbed her hair and i stabbed it into her neck.


    I waited...


    And it did not disappoint.


    Noticeably the wound started healing.


    The witch looked confused for a moment, but then widened her eye''s in horror.


    The Sweet embrace of death was upon her, but then she was pulled back.


    She looked up.


    And saw the devil smiling at her and said.


    "You''re not getting out of this easy"

 32 Battle of Side characters

    (AN: This is now new canon, for reality can whatever i want it to be)


    ******************Lila''s POV******************


    "Are they done yet?"


    "...No, still no signal"


    "Damn it..."


    Lila has been fighting the fleet for...


    6 minutes, i think...


    The battle was bloody and has cost them dearly.


    They managed to deal damage to the ships but that''s insignificant compared to theirs.


    The fleet has been fighting to desperately breakout of they''re incirclement.


    Lila gritted her teeth and ordered loudly.


    "One more minute, just hold on for one more minute!!"


    "YES!"


    The witches responded loudly.


    The witches also fought with vigor and they''re own ship was also going overdrive in the fight.


    Tonight, it rained rainbow lights, blood and limbs, screams can be heard over the explosions from the might of the spells being casted.


    The land below deformed and stained.


    The combatants chants from either friend or foe can be mistaken for a symphony of music.


    That is...


    The music of war.


    *****************Lilian''s POV******************


    "We are starting to breakthrough your majesty!"


    "Good, keep going!"


    Lilian has been anxious to get out of this trap.


    She just wished to kill anyone who got between her and her son.


    But these bitches are more formidable than she thought.


    They were now fighting a dogged battle, her ship''s received some damage but was negligible.


    The witches though fought hard even with the damage to they''re forces was significant, about a third of their forces lay dead in the lands below.


    While most are already injured once.


    But they''re morale seems to be unbreakable.


    They just keep going!


    "So annoying, just kill them all!"


    ''Sweetie, i hope your okay''


    She thought whilst she clenched her fists and ordered.


    "Breakthrough!!"


    "Yes, Your Majesty!!"


    ******************Jun''s POV******************


    Jun was better than ok right now.


    In fact he was feeling great right now.


    So much XP, So many Skills!!


    "Hahahaha, these stupid XP didn''t even know..."


    He turned back and stared at the last two remaining witches.


    They almost escaped, but that was it, Almost escaped.


    *Shit eating grin


    "Well ladies, do you know why i kept you alive?"


    They stayed silent however and just stared at me with hate apparent in they''re eye''s.


    "Awww, don''t look at me like that, it was your fault for coming here and trying to kill me anyway"


    I said whilst grinning from ear to ear.


    "Now let me answer the question, i kept you alive..."


    I paused for dramatic effect.


    "To be my little toys for a while"


    I signaled the 7.


    They in turned the bound witches towards each other.


    I walked up to them and circled them while saying.


    "I want to play a game..."


    I stopped circling.


    "The game is but a staring contest, but the rules are if you blink, i kill the other in a painful, gruesome yet slow way whilst all you could do is watch"


    They stayed silent.


    "So don''t worry about blinking cause you won''t be the loser, the other one will be, so blink as much as you like!"


    Still silent.


    "Got it? Don''t care, the game starts now!"


    The two are still silent, but no longer blinking.


    "Good, i''ll have the 7 watch over you while i''ll be doing the killing"


    Saying so i sat on a chair the 7 prepared for me while i wait for who blinks first.


    1 minute.


    2 minutes.


    3...


    Blink.


    Someone finally blinked!


    I stand up and looked at the one who blinked.


    For your information, it was Delilah who blinked, something got in her eye forcing her to blink.


    Truly unfortunate.


    She looked deathly pale as she stared at her one and only friend, she clenched her fist until it bled and shed tears.


    Pel however just smiled at her, as if death did not scare her, she didn''t even blame her friend for blinking, all she did now was wait.


    Delilah however tried to get free only to be held down by the 7 and forced to watch what was about to happen to Pel.


    "Good, you blinked pretty fast, i thought we''d be here for a while"


    I said as i patted her head and she in turn gave me a death glare while still trying to break free.


    "Hehehe..."


    I just chuckled at the sight.


    I slowly walked up to the other witch.


    She just stared at with a look that said, ''Do your worst!''


    "Don''t worry...I will give you my worst, turn her around and strip her back"


    The 7 did so.


    *Rip


    They ripped the back of her clothes revealing her back.


    Some of you might have guessed already to what i''m about to do here...


    And that is...


    Drum roll please!


    *Drum roll


    The...


    Blood Eagle!


    I did say i was gonna kill the loser in a painful, gruesome yet slow way and it passed all those qualifications!


    "Look closely now, the shows about to begin..."


    I said to the other witch being held down and forced to watch.


    Theb i grabbed a K-Bar knife handed to me by Hans and i smiled as i thought.


    ''This is gonna be fun!''
