The Game Rune System

Chapter 4: Tetsuya's first fight

"Truth to be told" Tetsuya caressed his chin while eyeing the charging gorilla. "I have never been physically challenged in my life." His life was so smooth Tetsuya had others fight for him. And people usually backed off when there was a woman next to him.

Since Tetsuya had many women on the earth and then friends that sugared him non stop, his life was way too easy.

He also didn't accept any defeat.

"A new world betrays my expectations too much nonetheless." Raising his clenched hand, Tetsuya took position to throw a punch forward. His thin arms didn't look powerful at all, but both Tetsuya and Ashley have seen many [STR +1] messages throughout the month, filled with training.

Once the gorilla got closer with a sneer, Tetsuya roared. "So I will change this world each time it dares to betray me! Ego PUNCH!" His punch then went forth!

It didn't look impressive at all.

It was just a punch, but Tetsuya's fist was filled with warm energy. If he had to guess, it was mana that brought up the properties of his Ego Punch! Not only was the punch filled with his feelings!

"Ughhhh!"

But it was also punch filled with a percentage of maximum hp! "You never expected that, huh?!" Tetsuya proudly shouted. He then took his punch back and threw it again at the villager whose eyes were bulging out from the pain!

A gorilla couldn't comprehend how such a thin man could do so much damage! "Is this rune?" He asked himself while eyeing the incoming punch! It wasn't like the pain was lethal, and so he could go on.

His muscles twitched, veins popping off! "You will help us with this rune!" As the rune was omnipotent, the villager quickly realized no other way for Tetsuya to do so much damage.

He also wanted to beat Tetsuya hard so that the otherworlder could be taken back to their village! By then, they would make sure to get this new rune! A new rune, that appeared to be good enough to be used by such a thin man, was too good.

It meant that even kids could use it; thus, it would allow them to learn more about the world from early ages!

If Tetsuya knew such thoughts, he would surely get more decisive with his ego punch!

Nonetheless, he was still going hard on the man. "Too late for that! Regret your friend's decision, gorilla!" As he screamed out these words, the contact with the villager erupted. Their punches collided heavily, then the air around them went mad.

An audible and loud sound of their contact escalated to the long melody accompanied by the wild wind. Their groans emerging from the punches elicited soft gasps either from behind the gorilla or Tetsuya's mind.

However, Tetsuya was far from losing!

[-300 HP!] [-280 HP!] [-260 HP!]

"How could fucking gorilla even go against me?!" Tetsuya already felt the impending ending! "For this blasphemy, I am taking your equipment! Feel proud!" Being naked was already a problem! Tetsuya had to go through the leather vest while he was naked, but it was not that much compared to his body just being exposed to the world!

Thus, it was time to finally acquire the equipment!

Remembering the professional fighters from the old movies with his eidetic memory, Tetsuya did his utmost best to reproduce their stance to perform the strongest punch possible! Only those old masters were worthy of being Tetsuya's teachers, even if it was a brief and self-learned lesson!

That's what he thought!

Boom!

[-446 HP!]

"No, husband!" A woman from behind cried out when her eyes recorded the gorilla's fall. "Stop, stop it!" She was muscular and strong too, but never in her life, she had to fight! Such thought didn't even cross her mind as she squatted down to support her man.

This didn't mean Tetsuya was done. "I will be taking his vest." He snatched the man's vest without any problem as the other party was coughing up a huge amount of blood. He equipped the vest on the spot, which only made Tetsuya look like an idiot.

The whole vest was too big! It was big enough to cover his ego manhood.

"Who are you?! What's your goal here?!" The woman shouted the question at the otherworlder, but he just casually continued to wipe off the dirt from the vest. Only when Tetsuya felt like answering did he open his mouth to spit out some truth.

He did it with a faint smile. "I am a man of peace and excitement. This village could be one developed city, but you lacked the wisdom to see it! Now, you are nothing more but mere pawns on my path to destroy slave masters."

As he said this, Ashley's voice rang out from the inside. "Are you putting the blame on the slave masters for real?" By Tetsuya's logic, the world was the one to be blamed. However, the slave masters were just one of the potential threats to his calm life here. Someone had to be condemned in the end, and a goal was needed to get stronger. Once the slave masters perish from the world, Tetsuya will prove to be strong enough to have some strength for his own family and get a place for himself.

"It is as simple as that," Tetsuya answered, then summoned a purple cube. It needed Ashley's permission too, but no way she would refuse. As the purple cube appeared, the villagers eyeing the battle from afar gasped in shock.

Their runes were so low and couldn't be hidden at all. Furthermore, they were implanted with those runes and so filled with many side-effects! The person from the outside seemed like a master just from the fact that he summoned the rune!

The current goal was to take the blood, "You can't refuse me." As he said with his charisma and handsome looks, the woman seethed at him, then hugged her husband. Her eyes saw him getting paler as the blood began to escape to the purple cube.

Then, a pleasant message appeared before Tetsuya's eyes.

[MMORPG Rune has processed the blood.]

[You have gathered enough blood for ten health potions.]

[You need glass for the potions to materialize.]

"Only ten potions? I guess gorilla's blood is not that good. My own will be enough for at least the thousand." Tetsuya spat near the gorilla and his wife, then spun around. His job was done here.

Not even caring about the villagers anymore, he 'allowed' them to live their miserable and gorilla-like lives! It was their fate to miss the utopia! Tetsuya then returned to his forest gym and reached out for his self-made weights.

"Ashley." In the meantime, he also spoke to his partner. "What about inventory features? This gorilla vest would lie on me perfectly if I were to have this feature." A feature to have inventory would help keep his self-made gym and other items such as potions and money.

This also could be done by the game rune system, but Ashley needed some time. She currently had different tasks! One of these was the minimap! She tried to split her consciousness to the purple rune and spread it outside Tetsuya's body to get his surroundings outlined by the power.

The other task was about the 'stats'.

When Tetsuya fought against the gorilla, Ashley tried to measure the gorilla's stats using the MMORPG measurement. The rune and demon bloodline helped her with both tasks, so these were already done!

"Inventory can be done. Just wait. Also, congratulations on your first win! Can I ask you something?" Ashley sweetly congratulated her partner, causing him to stop training. It was a sweet voice that was new to his ears. In his life, Tetsuya heard many of those, yet it sounded purer and as if genuine. He couldn't tell what exactly it was, but Ashley helped him here.

"What question?" He didn't forget this feeling but enjoyed it. With the sweet voice ringing in his mind, Tetsuya trained and talked with Ashley.

She asked about the 'no killing rule'.

It was weird, to say the least.

Wasn't there a Red Rose Woman who just murdered the whole royal household? Ashley wouldn't say no to killing if there was a goal behind it. If it was for their growth and potions, then she would say yes and support Tetsuya as much as she could.

She would accept it as long as he wouldn't go around the world to kill for fun or just to kill!

"No killing rule, you said?" Tetsuya wiped off his sweat, then spat some saliva. "Killing was prohibited in my world, but it doesn't mean killing had never happened here. There is a lot of shady stuff going on behind citizens' backs, but most of the world is peaceful. I like the peace and excitement the most."

Ashley pondered a little, then whispered "But you are going to destroy the slave masters' business So you will go around the world and see a lot of killing. Even you might have to resort to the killing."

This brought up a burst of confident laughter. "No way. I will let these fuckers play the game with me. This is why the MOBA board is here for us. A big MOBA Game to decide their lives!"

"If you won't kill, then what is the punishment?" Ashley couldn't not ask! She wanted to know the answer right now!

Her partner didn't disappoint. "If they lose, they will be slaves themselves. Hah! The slaves to the MMORPG system! Quest upon quest will fall on them, and they will all do the charity work for me." Tetsuya's goal was a relatively bright one. He was confident in his power now and decided to focus on the board next.

The board was blank space within his mind for now.

This board couldn't take people inside, but it was just a matter of time. Tetsuya also had to create a perfect map with three lanes and a jungle for the MOBA Game. For that, he needed to gather a lot of items.

"When are you going to chop off the trees then?" Ashley's question was like poking on his ego!

Tetsuya rolled his eyes! "Who says I will be the one chopping off the trees? Good slaves saved by me will do the work. Where the fuck are these slave masters?" He was ready to go and fight them!

This forced a sigh from Ashley as she told the truth! "If not the Ego Punch, then you would've lost! The villager had more health, stamina, and strength, but you have max health percentage damage! The slave masters have a lot of stronger bodyguards, and they also can use slaves to attack you!"

"You are right, Ashley." Tetsuya surprisingly agreed on the spot. This made purple eyes blink with confusion! "I have to gather players to fight for me."

"..."

It was time to change the world to the MMORPG Game, but just a little

A little was the first step, though! Ashley was sure of it!
