"Help!!! Someone help!!!" A woman's screaming for help can be heard outside.
I look up from the phone to take a glance outside, it seemed like people are all running away from something out there.
This girl will probably handle it since she's a hero so I shouldn't have to worry about a thing when it comes to problems.
More screams can be heard as a few more moments go by but she still hasn't moved in the slightest. It was like she didn't really care about what was going on outside.
QUEST ALERT!
~Seems you have a quest. ^_^
So you've made clear. I'll help save these people somehow, okay? Just give me the quest to do so.
~Well, you never told me what you'll be yet. Are you going to become a hero? A villain? What is the choice you've come to. (๑•﹏•).
A vigilante seems to be a fine path between both I guess, so that's what I'll go with for the time being. If I get considered a hero, whatever.
None of it will be permanent for me anyway.
[Quest]
Help save the people from the mysterious problem outside.
Reward: Guaranteed Level up, 10,000 coins, and a special skill unlock.
Do you accept? Y/N.
Yes.
~Yay!! Another quest has been accepted. You've also leveled up since you made a decision, a deal is a deal. You've unlocked skills. ୧(＾ 〰 ＾)୨.
Skills? Do I get to pick the first one I get or did you already decide that for me.
~The first one is given to you already but you'll be able pick the second one. I'll tell you the current skill you have unlocked though. ( ◜^◝ )♡.
• Lucky Step
Automatically avoids minor dangers—stepping just past a trap, dodging a car, avoiding spilled coffee. Can also be useful for fights, maybe you sidestep at just the right time to avoid attacks. (Well it actually works better now!)
~See, useful! ♡(> ਊ <)♡.
I get up from the chair next to the silver Neko and immediately run outside to see what's going on after that. Someone wearing this strange gold and black knight like armor seems to be the person behind it all.
This knight gear looked a bit more modernized and he even seems to have a helmet on as well. Glowing yellow eyes that were staring right at me.
People continue to run past me but a lot of them were dead on the ground, a sword in his hand seems to have blood dripping down off of it.
"Are you a hero, perhaps? Maybe you are." He speaks up, a bit muffled by the helmet.
He twirls the sword around as he walks towards me. I could feel my whole body shaking a bit... But this wasn't something I could just ignore either.
I made a fist with my right hand and start to run towards the guy, he's definitely a villain. My speed was something I immediately noticed was increased from what I was used to.
Those stats really do make quite a difference with what they do for me. I'm going to do my best to put a stop to this guy before anyone else dies.
Maybe I'll end up dying in the process, maybe I beat him... Who knows. I do have a bit of luck on my side.
"Quite some speed on you, no worries here though." He says before swinging his sword towards me.
[Lucky Step Active] I instinctively move out of the way as he swings his sword. I couldn't help but notice how it felt like it was easy to avoid it.
But I didn't let it stop me from doing anything... I brought my fist up and immediately drove it into his face.
POW!!! The punch landed across his face and sent him back a few steps.
[Physical Hit Chance] 30%. ~A good first hit with luck on your side there, he could've dodged it.
Now isn't the time to be telling me stuff like that. He got hit and that proved that I can actually beat him, maybe. I'm not too sure just yet since he looks a lot tougher than me.
"That was quite the punch, I'm impressed. I'll definitely make sure to take my time killing you." He says with a bit of frustration in his voice.
He charges at me without wasting another second and begins to swing his sword relentlessly at me. Each swing I manage to dodge since lucky step keeps activating.
But [Dodge Chance] 30% isn't high enough for me to avoid every single one. I finally trip on one of the bodies and his sword cuts across my chest.
The pain immediately jolts throughout my body as I fall back onto the ground.
Holy shit! Holy shit! This hurts so bad... The sword really went across my chest, I'm probably going to die.
Why did I decide it was a good idea to fight against this guy with no real experience in fights?!?!
~The fight isn't done Saito. We have to win! Get up, it is just a small wound. ୧(＾ 〰 ＾)୨.
I look down at my chest to see a bit of blood going down it but it wasn't anything life threatening yet. The system was right that we have to win.
Quickly I stood back up and lifted my arms up to fight again. I needed to make sure I won this fight no matter what.
WHOOOSH!!!! Within an instant I could see a flash of silver as the man went flying across the sidewalk.
"I really hate being interrupted, I love that game so much." A familiar voice said with disappointment.
After a few seconds I could see that it was the silver Neko standing there with her phone in one hand. The villain was a few feet across the sidewalk with his sword on the ground.
She really is a hero after all... I don't know why she took so long to come out from the hospital lobby though. I'm not complaining I guess, she did kind of just kick his ass with one punch.
