Picking up Girls With My System

After Arthur saw those images and heard what they were saying, he passed out again. The pain in his Unseen Truth Eye was too much and in his head.

He was already hurt, to begin with, so losing his conscience was inevitable. Arthur woke up after two hours, and the bright sun had already gone away, and the moon shone in the sky.

The empty village had no movements; the only sounds outside were those of animals and the beasts that lurked in the shadows, looking for a night snack like Arthur.

"My head…"

Arthur's head was still fuzzy, and it took him a few moments to comprehend what had happened and understand clearly what he had seen and heard.

"A glimpse of the future, like that slender creature told me. Speaking of it, they are going after him! I should get back and warn him."

Because a lot of time had passed since the battle against the god, Arthur's concerning wounds had healed, and now all he had to do was create a few potions and poultices to recover his body completely.

Where could he find the best herbs to use for these two things? With the elves, he also had to go back there to speak with that slender creature again and help Jake and Agatha. He did not see a reason not to go, especially now that he wanted to look for a way to increase the power of his avatar to save his main body.

"Maybe that creature can help me somehow. I hope so," he thought, getting up from the ground and leaving that empty, destroyed cabin.

His body was not that bad, but it was still not in perfect condition, and Arthur was not confident in winning against another rank three mage, especially an elf, which was stronger than the average mage.

So even though Arthur wanted to use the herbs and the things he could find in the elven village to heal his wounds, he was not willing to go there bluntly and expect them to give him everything he needed and not attack him. And he was also getting close to discovering the truth about the black magic, and the elves — at least those in the upper ranks — wanted him dead.

"Right, I can contact Jake!"

With the help of the mark on Jake's body, Arthur sent him a message now that he was not inside a place that blocked it and asked him to bring him some specific herbs for the treatment of his wounds. He also told Jake to meet him far from where the elves were, as that was not a good thing to do.

"Lord Arthur. I cannot get you those specific herbs because I am no longer in the elven village. I, Agatha, and her family left that area, and we live on a fishermen's island. Can you get here? There's a big city near, and we can surely get you things to treat your wounds."

That was the message Jake sent him back, and he also told him the location of the said island, so Arthur moved from the destroyed village and went east. Also, he wanted to get in touch with Wisa and Jane, but only his main body could use the mark to send their messages, which was not possible then.

"I don't want to risk going there in the dragon valley all hurt and the dragons attack me or don't believe in my words. I should recover first and maybe reach rank four."

Arthur wanted to warn the slender beast. That was his plan initially, but his body condition was poor to go there, and the elves around that area would attack him on sight. So, recovering was his priority; after that, he would look for the slender beast.

"Let's hope whoever is coming here takes some time. Also, what level is that person? I can safely assure it must be higher than rank four, so the entire planet is in danger."

So many problems were happening simultaneously, and Arthur could not deal with them in his current state. His main body was trapped with Sybille, someone he had wanted to rescue since a long time ago, and it was impossible.

He had to warn the slender beast about the vision he saw, yet it was not possible. And there was also the fact he needed to reach rank four as fast as possible to deal with those problems.

If that was not enough, then there was the person coming to his planet, and that person surely was way more powerful than him and any other mage on that planet. So how could they win against that person if that person wanted to destroy his world for the Unseen Truth Eye? More importantly, what would happen to him after that person discovered that he was the one in possession of the eye?

"My life sucks at the moment," Arthur sighed as he made his way toward the island where Jake was.

~~~~

"You are finally here," Jake said as he left a small cabin with a beautiful lady by his side, Agatha.

The island they were living on was 700 km from the coast, but that was not a big deal for Arthur, as his flying speed was incredible, especially with the help of his red mantle.

"Where are the things I asked you?" Arthur said.

"Relax, they are inside our cabin. You can stay with us. Also, please don't act like a weirdo here because almost no one is a mage, and they don't like weird things happening inside their island."

"A place with no mages?"

"Yes. No one born inside this island had the talent for magic, and the most strange thing is that there are no powerful beasts around here, only normal fishes."

"That is indeed strange."

A dangerous place like the demon continent had beasts lurking everywhere, especially on the ocean. The ocean was even more complex than the land, and the fact that everyone on that island was safe there, even without the help of magic, was incredible.

It was like something else was protecting them, or that place had a secret to it that piqued Arthur's interest.

"Alright. Let's go to your cabin and give me the herbs."

Jake nodded, leading the way to where he lived with Agatha. Agatha's family was also there, but they were living in another cabin, separated from them.

"Here they are! I went to the big city nearby myself to get you this."

"Good job."

There were many herbs, but most had a healing property, which Arthur needed. So he grabbed all of them and went to a remote part of the island where no one was.

"I don't want to live in the same house as Jake and Agatha, who are certainly having a good time on this remote island. Also, no one can see me creating potions because that is weird."

Arthur found a decent place to stay, with mountains covering his surroundings and a clear ocean view. He was not carrying alchemy utensils, but that did not mean it was impossible to create them, and he did make a cauldron with the help of clay and mana to make it harder.

Not the best thing to have, but the only one Arthur had.

"Let's heal and start doing what I need to before that mysterious person arrives here and kills everyone."
