'Is this the Status Window I've heard of before?'
Because I was poor and an orphan while on earth, I could never buy any games.
But I always heard my friends—people who same with my age at that time, always saying Open Status to show off something to their friends.
They call it Game VR, if I'm not mistaken. Whether it's the title of the game or what, I've forgotten a bit.
"Hey, what level are you? Show me your status."
"My level has reached 200 in game xx. My Status Window contains many skills and my stats are all maxed out."
"Damn, you're so great. Look, my stats are still all bad, haha haha."
Something like that? At that time, I could only see and listen when my friends were talking, like an extra character standing in the corner of the room.
Unlucky!
I shook my head so that my memories of living on earth were blown away.
It was a shameful memory. Embarrassing enough that I wanted to crouch down and hide my head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI refocus on the Status Window.
Looking at the data on the Status Window, I don't know how weak I am.
I believe my body is as weak as a normal human.
Perhaps the indicator on the stat, i.e., F, is the lowest, while as it increases it will be E, D, C, B, A…
I shifted my gaze to the system message that next appeared.
[Please tap on a skill if you want to see the details of the skill.]
After seeing what was written, then I followed the system's instructions and tapped on my skill list one by one.
[Poison Resistance:
Poison resistance skill.
Can be used as an active and passive skill. Active use will have a greater effect. Passive use will not have a strong effect, but it is flexible.
Can heal others, but depends on the level of skill control you and your patients have. Failure can result in fatal injuries.]
[The Five Senses - Sense Of Hearing:
The Five Senses was a skill to enhance the five human senses.
Sense of Hearing is only one part of The Five Sense skill.]
[Strengthening:
Increases limb strength.]
Apparently, the skills that appeared were only the ones I used after I returned to the current timeline.
Many of the skills I had mastered in my previous life were not recorded. Will the skills I've mastered in my previous life appear when I use them later? Let's hope that will happen.
***
On the wide road, my two feet tread slowly.
I walked along the main road.
It was evening.
The city of Ryam is about to enter a time when most of its inhabitants are resting. People began to enter their respective homes.
Suddenly, I felt something. I stopped my footsteps. My eyes began to explore the situation around me. On the street that was originally busy, now it feels quiet.
I turned my gaze to the side. I focused on it. Over there, there is an alley. A place between two houses that looks rundown. There are no houses in this area.
Even though I was aware that something was wrong, I still walked closer and entered the alley. The place I entered was only dimly lit.
Even so, I could still see some people who were already in this alley. There are about 10 of them. Some are sitting on a pile of wood, some are squatting, and some are leaning against the walls of the house.
They looked like a bunch of thugs, ready to smack anyone who passed by.
I came here because I felt bad intentions from them. Even if I don't go to them, chances are they will come to me.
I don't know what their purpose is. Are they really gang members ready to rob citizens? Did I just meet bad luck? I doubt that.
I think it would be more correct to say that they were waiting for me to pass. The proof, the environment around here is very quiet. They may have chased away or threatened people, or even kidnapped them?
When I was standing in front of them, they still remained calm.
Ten pairs of eyes were still staring at me. Their eyes reflected that they had bad intentions. Like a predator who finds its prey approaching them.
"Who are you guys?"
I asked them.
They were all middle-aged men. They wear shabby clothes. Although their clothes were shabby, the weapons in their hands were not ordinary. Some used spears, swords, knives, and other weapons.
For ordinary citizens, it was very difficult to obtain weapons of such good quality as they used.
After I asked, one of them stood up and walked closer to me. He has a fit, well-built, and muscular appearance. What characterizes him is his bald head.
"Kuhahaha, I didn't expect you to approach us like this."
He covered his mouth with one hand as he spoke while laughing. He also looked down on me. His way of speaking accompanied by crazy laughter really disgusts me.
Wrinkles appeared above my forehead. I'm a little annoyed. So, I replied with sarcastic words.
"I can't let a few rats get in my way, can I? Besides, I feel it would be better not to be suddenly bitten by a few rats on the street like this. So, it's better to get rid of the rats as quickly as possible. Hey rats, don't you agree?"
"Good. Good. Since when did Young Master Mesties, who used to shut himself up in his room, be so good at talking?"
Seeing that he knew who I was, I was now convinced that these were the ones who were deliberately trying to harm me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere's no way they'd know who I was if they were regular thugs.
Were these people Baron Warwick's errands? Or Daniel? Well, I'm sure it must be one of those two, or both of them? For now, I don't need to think about it.
I looked at the thug boss, then I said to him.
"Why are you guys confused? Just do what you want to do. I don't have time to play with mice."
"Young Master Mesties, you don't need to rush. Before we start the festive feast tonight, do you have any final words? Otherwise, we'll get started right away. All of you. Attack!"
'Even though he immediately gave the order to attack. Why did you even ask?' I shook my head at the thug boss's behavior.
Except for their boss who gave them orders, the other nine people immediately stood up, prepared, and drew their weapons. Without delaying any further, they charged straight at me.
"Wait a moment!"
I stopped them with one hand outstretched. Like a vehicle that was ticketed by the police on the road, they immediately stopped moving, standing in place.
Let's ignore their stupidity for following what I say.
While they were still confused, I took out the sword I brought from the mansion. The sword was still hanging from my waist this whole time.
I drew the sword from its scabbard.
Criiing!
The sound of a sword coming out of its scabbard was heard. The sword looks stunning. Did the thugs also agree with me, they looked amazed too.
When I noticed the sword in my hand, a system message suddenly appeared.
[Name: One-Handed Sword.
Level: Trash.
Description:
A sword used for room decoration.]
Wow. What a wonderful description delivered by the system. What was written in the system message was inversely proportional to the beauty of the sword.
"Why are you guys standing around?! Quickly attack! Damn it."
After hearing the loud voice of the person I assumed to be their leader, the men immediately gasped. Maybe their stupid wits came back to their senses? Their eyes seemed to focus again to beat me.
"You die, brat. Horyaa!"
Swoosh!
