Arcana Mob

'You are a bad liar, kid... those guys, they didn't even believe half of your stories.'

As Cade was lying on the bed, from the pendant, a teasing voice sounded. But Cade seemed to be not surprised by the sudden appearance of this voice. Rather, he seemed to know about it.

"*Sigh* Please.. you don't need to make it any more obvious. Either way, they have no other choice but to believe me.... And stop with that bad liar.. or I will begin to sing."

"...."

Cade rolled his eyes as he was too lazy to answer. After some moments, he then asked a question.

"Rather than that, how about you? Are you comfortable staying at that form?"

"Me? Well, rather than being uncomfortable, I just felt like this was something new.. After all, you don't see the great lord Grigory sealed in a pendant every day, Hahahahahahah.'

Once again, that eery laughter that brought countless nightmares to the dome resounded.

Obviously, it was none other than Grigory. For some reason, he was in Cade's pendant and now was helping Cade.

However, there was a very strange phenomenon this time.

Other than Cade, none of the people here seemed to be able to hear this eery laughter.

Cade proceeded to ignore Grigory. If he was to chat with this freak all day long, he would be influenced by his weirdness. Rather than that, Cade was more interested in the gain he got from the dome.

He closed his eyes as he summoned his Arcane Card.

His body glowed a bit, and soon, a card appeared in his hand.

But different than usual, the image in the Arcane card was no longer the blue specter. Instead, it was a headless knight.

[ Spectre Dullahan ]

[ Rank: (III)/(III) ]

[ Dullahans are headless, and wherever one stops, a mortal's death soon follows. A dullahan will stop its snorting horse before the door of a house and shout the name of the person about to die, drawing forth the soul at the call. He may also stop at the very spot where a person will die. ]

[ Special Skill: Erosion Flame, Sword Thrust.]

Spectre Dullahan, the new Arcane Card of Cade.

No matter how many times he saw this, the normally calm and composed Cade became excited when he saw this Arcane Card. The more he observed the card, the more he felt like it was a dream come true.

. . . . . .

-Flashback to the moments right after Grigory used the system bound Grigory to Cade.-

Back to the creepy and dark dome where Cade first met Grigory, Cade was currently coughing as he had just been flung away by Grigory.

Even though the system had tried its best before exhausting its energy, it was far from enough to fully bend Grigory's will. Yet, it was successful in attracting Grigory's attention as he tried to use his ability to see what was actually going on.

"Hey, what the h-"

"Fascinating... to see that there is such a person.. You are clearly fascinating me.."

Here, Grigory was acting all mysterious, but Cade seemed to have a hunch on what was currently happening.

Obviously. Grigory had realized his identity, and it had picked his interest.

"It seems that you are not that clueless about what's happening. Then let me reintroduce myself. My name is Grigory, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Cade North, or to be exact, Cade North, the transmigrator!"

Grigory greeted Cade, who had just been recovered from his daze, but it didn't make him happy at any least. From the side, he could see the dumbfounded look of the delinquents.

There were too many eyewitnesses here, and revealing his identity as a transmigrator would do him no good.

But just in one look and Grigory seems to understand the dilemma in Cade's mind.

He chuckled a bit, and as he snapped his fingers, the body of the delinquents fell one by one, leaving only Cade alone to be seen.

"Satisfied now?"

Grigory asked with a smirk.

It was like a simple matter for Grigory, but Cade was just a normal human. Looking at the headless corpses in his surrounding, there's no way he would feel fine.

Even the delinquents that had always bullied him now lay on the ground motionless. If not for the baptism of the cruelty of this world, Cade surely would have puked all his guts out.

Nonetheless, after a few minutes, Cade was barely able to contain himself. After all, this was a dog-eat-dog world, and he needed to have a strong mentality to survive.

Trying his best to maintain his composure, the paled-face Cade invites a laugh from Grigory.

"Good, at least you are not that weak to faint just from that. Not bad... you are weak but pretend to be strong.. Hahahaha, I like something like you the most. Yet.. you know that the current you is not enough to survive the future predicament, right?"

Cade knew what Grigory meant by that. In fact, he also had the same thing in his mind.

After realizing that he was in the "Arcana Heart", Cade tried his best to find the name Cade North. Strangely, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember there was any mention of that name in the story. And the only explanation for that was that Cade North was just a no named mob in the game.

All he could remember was the scene of a little girl begging the protagonist party to save his older brother, who had been trapped in the dungeon, only to find that the elder brother had long been dead when the protagonist party arrived at the scene.

The more he looked into it, the more Cade found that the little girl was very similar to Elsa, and if he was not wrong, the dead older brother would soon be him.

Knowing what fate he would get if he didn't try to change, Cade's mood instantly turned gloomy, and he didn't have the mood to answer Grigory.

Although Cade didn't answer him, Grigory didn't get annoyed at all. He just chuckled a bit before bowing down to Cade.

For some reason, after Grigory recognized that Cade was actually a transmigrator, his attitude to Cade immediately changed a lot.

It felt like Grigory had found his favorite toy in Cade.

"Don't be that mad. Do you know what they say? An ant is an ant after all. No matter how hard it tried, it would not be able to become a lion."

Cade's mouth twitched. He knew that Grigory was just teasing him, and as he pushed down his annoyance, he said: "I still couldn't understand. To think that all my life was just a story written by someone else, is a little bit hard to accept, isn't it? All these bullyings, so it is all for nothing..."

"But with these years of humiliations, you've matured, right? Let's just say that you have struck gold under your misery. If not, maybe you would have long been dead by my hands Hahahahahahah."

Cade furrowed his brows, but his emotions started to calm down.

After the initial shock, only a hint of helplessness was left in Cade.

"*Sigh* should I say thank you? Still, that didn't change the fact that I was fated to be a mob. With my talent, even if I tried my best, all I could aspire to be is just a second-grade mob..."

In a lot of transmigration into a novel story, the transmigrated person would take the chance of the actual protagonist. But it was an entirely different case here.

Thinking about all the danger he must go through to get the chances, Cade thought that before he could even get to the treasure room, he would have long been killed by the monsters. And as for a cheat plotholes item, there was none that he could remember from the story.

Some things, after they disappear, would make one start appreciating their value! After losing and regaining it, one treasures it more!

Now Cade could only hope that Grigory would take the bait. If it is this room, then miracles might really happen here, and there might be a chance for Cade to survive the predicament.

Lightly twisting his wrist, Cade pretended to let out a long breath and said: "I don't know why you didn't kill me yet, but if you think you could get anything from me as I was a transmigrator, you are dead wrong. I know from the start that you never intend to let someone leave here, and as for me, I'm just lucky to be alive until now because I have piqued your curiosity..."

"Hehe, don't make the conclusion too early, kid." Grigory smiled: "Since we have met here, Do you think I couldn't see what's on your mind? You are as clear as a book to this Lord Grigory. Nonetheless, you seem to be pretty interesting, so I have decided to help you.."

As Grigory snapped his fingers, the two big guillotines behind them began to shine.

"You should have known the function of the guillotines, right? Then, let's get to the main point. I want to see.. See what change you might bring to this boring world."
