Chapter III: A stroke of luck

"Because you stayed, you could have fled and survived," exclaimed a young blond-haired man with white hair and an average height.

That young man wore white armor adorned with gold and blue details, although now said armor was almost in the worst state just like the young man, only somehow, some kind of divine aura prevented it from falling to the ground.

— If I did, someone important would die for me... and I'm not one of those who let their loved ones die.

A black-haired guy answered in front of him, who appeared to be the same age as him, except that he had a dark skin and was wearing absolute black armor that did not show the edges on him like the dents on it. This one was already on the ground breathing with difficulty, because in him a sword was already piercing his heart, which would already mean his death was sentenced.

"I'm sorry I'm the worst person you've ever had to meet, but I appreciate that you consider me your friend despite everything."

The blond-haired man mentioned through tears while with a determined look, he pulled out the sword buried in his friend's chest and, without shame and without glory, he began raising his enormous sword, which began to accumulate energy until the shape of the sword itself changed. to one of pure light, brimming with power.

- Goodbye my friend.

And with one last look of lamentation and regret under his sword in his friend's body causing all the energy accumulated in the sword to explode in an explosion of light overshadowing everything around him.

« Huh? What happened… uhm at the end of the day I was able to sleep…»

After having been lying on the ground for a long time without being able to sleep, boredom took effect, so I got up to entertain myself with the first thing in front of me, in this case a pile of earth, which behaved like plasticine due to my inhuman strength, although after playing with it for a long time I got bored and decided to sleep... which I did, but it wasn't easy.

Although when I sleep I always have strange and very out of place dreams, however with this one, something seemed different and I don't know if it was the fact that I was now in another world, but now I feel that said dream has a meaning that I don't yet I find the meaning.

But to be honest, I would have liked that everything was a dream and continue with my life as I had done until now, but I think that if God existed, I would not be one of his favorites.

—Wow, it's not the first time I've slept away from home, but now that I think about it, it was a very stupid idea, something could have happened to me, although with the strength and resistance I have, I think they're enough to get me out of a lot of trouble... but I think you shouldn't trust me unless you're sure I'm the strongest or something.

I looked back in the cave to see that a wolf was keeping an expectant eye on me, keeping an eye on me at any moment, but I didn't give it much thought and just turned around as I walked at a calm pace through the beautiful and vast forest.

In fact, I would say that this place is quite nice and calm, but first I would have to investigate this world, it must not be that there is a demon king, a necromancer or being from another dimension that threatens to destroy the peace or something like that , if so, I would like to go to a place where it does not affect me... although I have anger problems, I usually seek to have a pacifist life.

As I continued walking, the fact that I could be the typical protagonist who is a Hero and that it was my responsibility to stop the evil in the world also crossed my mind, since well, although I was not received with honors or with the king, I could remember that I was in a church, more exactly where I appeared, which looked like some kind of altar, so apart from being from another world and possessing extraordinary strength, everything points to a typical cliché story of a Hero saving the world .

"I don't even believe it...

Who am I kidding, even if I were the Hero, the last thing I would do is save the world, maybe it's good, but not stupid and even I know that this is some kind of kidnapping… indirect, but it's still kidnapping and maybe it's for a good reason and they are probably desperate, but the actions do not justify the means.

But of course, I am not a being without feelings either, because if I see a monstrous being ripping off the heads of children, obviously I will act, but if it is only to satisfy the selfish and anarchist desires of a kingdom, they can go to the reverend….

"Hey, what's that?"

In the middle of my trekking through this forest, I focused my attention in the distance, where I could notice lots of these creatures similar to endodontes, of which they were of different sizes, I could also see how they were devouring a large animal. size, which gave me a little chills, but it calmed me down by remembering that he was practically super strong, but still I couldn't help but feel the same feeling when I saw them, so I just got the hell out of that place.

—Speaking of eating, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday and I don't feel the slightest hint of hunger, that's weird, but I guess it has to do with my summoning as well as my strength.

It was weird not feeling hungry, apart from being used to eating something at least once a day made it even more so. But I am not going to go around the matter any more, since I am sure that, even if I investigate it, I will not give any answer that satisfies me.

After having walked for several meters I arrived at a different section of the forest, several meters from the cave of the wolves and the entodolontes, it was a flat area without rocks or trees in the middle of it.

"This place is perfect… not too narrow and not too big.

I walked until I got to the middle of the area, where I sat down on the grass to think... actually, I couldn't find anything else to do other than that since I didn't feel hungry or thirsty, I didn't have to worry about obtaining resources, so my imagination and I began to think about the things I can do after being summoned to this world.

«I wonder if this is all because I thought about what I would do as the protagonist…»

I thought that if someone else had been summoned, they would be in a very different situation than me, probably trying to show off their new power, picking fights with bad guys just because or saving girls who conveniently can't defend themselves, looking for new adventures. or putting together a harem with which to travel throughout this world... and yet here I am, still thinking about why they summoned me...

"Summon…summon…summon? ... THAT IS!"

Speaking of summoning, a certain memory came to my mind, about the most exploited resource of the majority of ISEKAI protagonists.

That's right, I mean more and nothing less than the "State", that tool that has transformed all the protagonists from social and inexperienced misfits and with zero chances of survival to being the typical Men, Machos, Busty and Badass who never lose and in some ways they become irresistible to the opposite sex, apart from having an uncanny ability to evangelize their opponents.

"Okay, I guess I'm just saying it out loud...Status..."

Nothing, that was what she felt for you when you expressed yourself sentimentally with the girl you liked in high school and also what happened at this very moment.

—It opens me wrong, or it will be, status... options, Open Status, Help, Open sesame, configuration, user manual, mmm, this is not working...

"Maybe if I think about it... status, status, help... command?"

The "State" is supposedly a skill that allows you to verify the statistics and status of the person who possesses it, usually this is accompanied by a voice that seems to have a large amount of knowledge of the world.

Usually only the Hero or Heroes possess it and sometimes a large part of the people possess it, but without the voice and knowledge. Although there are also different devices or abilities that allow you to observe the state of others, as well as abilities and objects to hide it, since it literally shows all your information, therefore, they can discover anything about you with and without your permission.

—But I think this world is not one of those…

Of course, there was also the possibility that this ability does not exist in the world, or that only certain individuals possess it, but it seems that this is not my case.

In the different worlds that magic word was said regularly and in some other it was verified in your vision, regularly as a kind of blurry point or window that if you focused on it your state would appear, another way that I know is if you concentrate on your hand and say the words these will show you your state.

Of course I tried each of the possible options and combinations, but having no success after three hours I just sat there.

I kept looking at the sky with nothing to do, since before, my time was spent focused on my computer or sometimes on my studies, so not having any of that, it seemed strange to me, it made me want to break things to de-stress since I had the strength to do it, but I knew how to control myself so I just refrained.

I spent some time lying there, until I could hear some light gasps, followed by grass being crushed, when I got up to look I could notice a group of goblins in the distance, in fact, I can notice even the smallest detail of them, obviously me I didn't have that ability in my previous world, but I didn't think much of it and I'll repay my summons.

— Seriously... green dwarfs? I literally faced a dragon from the apocalypse or something like that and God sends me this, well, looking on the bright side maybe I can practice my strength with them...

Once you face a creature of such magnitude, these are nothing anymore... it's like first facing the final boss and then you go with the test enemy.

Am I thinking like a cliché shonen anime protagonist? Or is it the instinct that already makes within me demanding a fight?... I will stay here in case they are peaceful»

As I clenched my hands preparing myself in case I had to fight, I remembered when I was with the puppies, I made sure not to squeeze at all since I didn't want to hurt them, but now that I have these green dwarfs here, and even if it sounds evil, maybe I can practice, as long as they attack first.

Before I knew it, an arrow was shot towards my head, luckily my eyesight was better than before, so it was only a few centimeters away from hitting my face when it was stopped by the grip of my hand. I looked at the arrow, which was plain and had a weird, foul smell, so I just dropped it on the ground and made a mental note not to do that again…and also to wash my hands.

In that, a group of approximately 50 globins come out of the bushes, they were wearing leather bibs, long swords and bows bigger than them, so I quickly deduced that they stole it from someone.

"Wait a minute, does that mean there's civilization nearby?...

The ones with bows quickly launch a barrage of arrows which I dodge by moving around, although of course, my speed was much higher than before and I more or less controlled my strength on my feet so it was very easy.

But before I knew it, about 6 goblins that had swords managed to sneak away while I was concentrating on dodging the arrows, though it was more out of revulsion than getting hit than getting hurt.

"Wait!" I don't want to fight, I don't know if you understand me but I don't want to hurt them—I spoke while he raised my hands.

Far from trying to empathize, this motivated the goblins who ran towards me, so when I realized it too late and without many attack options, I raised my leg and then stomped on it, causing the ground to liquefy due to the force of the attack. kick, raising huge rock spikes that crashed into each other, along with the goblins who tried to flee without much success as they were trapped between the rocks, which only dripped with tomato sauce.

—Wow, it was unintentional…although I restrained myself.

I looked at the other group of remaining goblins, who were surprised by my feat, but plucked up their courage, began to surround me at different vantage points to try to avenge their fallen comrades, but the sad reality is that they don't have the slightest chance of beat.

—Well, that's why they say that peace was never an option, plus they're not as stupid as they made it out to be, so they knew I was giving up, so let's see what they do against this.

My heart had sped up a bit at the situation that was taking place, although this can be considered a sign of psychopathy since I practically feel fine killing little green beings.

Although I know it's bad and I shouldn't do this, I'm doing it to defend myself since these little men, unlike the wolves, are only doing it for fun, since I don't take anything of value with me, unless they like the human flesh, which ironically would give more reason to kill them.

I took a rock the size of my hand, and then threw it with a greater part of my force, which was enough to impale and pulverize several goblins that were in their direction, along with a part of the terrain, which exploded on impact, sending up various debris which in turn crushed a few goblins, leaving around 23.

However, instead of being intimidated, the goblins were still standing there, which intrigued me, but my answers became clearer when out of nowhere the goblins suddenly began to grow and gain muscle, becoming like a 2 meter bodybuilder and filling out the bibs and legs. equipment that used to be large compared to their previous size.

"Well, that explains why they used them despite not being their size.

Quickly, all the goblins rushed at me with a somewhat disturbing smile, I would say, but without flinching, I launched a contained paw, which ends up splitting one in half, but I quickly recompose myself to go through another where supposedly he had his heart, then continued with the decapitation of another, to later take one by his neck, accommodating his vertebrae, to later hold his sternum, to use it as a kind of live mallet.

I couldn't describe the euphoria that filled my body right now, I felt like those video game characters, who literally crushed their enemies with their bare hands, I only lacked a few weapons and I'd say I'm ready to go to hell.

When I realized, all the goblins had died and only the one in my hand remained, which had broken limbs and was trembling weakly. I put my hand on its head and tried to measure how much force it takes to hold it without crushing it in the process, but in an oversight I ended up making it explode.

—I think I should measure myself more, the sternum broke into thousands of pieces and the head literally exploded, I think I'm going to practice making mud figures... huh? What is this?

Before I knew it, a tickling garter belt caught my attention and when I turned to see what it was, I saw an arrow lying on the ground, obviously I felt a bit displeased that that thing touched me, but I got myself together to see the front, seeing 2 goblins.

One of them was the one who had shot the arrow and another was weird, he had different clothes from the others because he had no muscles everywhere, apart from being the same height as me and having a kind of hood and bandages around him of his limbs, but they seemed more like clothing than first aid.

He was surprised and upset next to the other, I saw how they both seemed to speak a language very different from mine, but before I even got close the hooded goblin chanted what seems to be a spell and in a blink he became invisible... although only for his partner since I could see him well, but I decided to play along, since he looked confident.

I approached his partner who looked totally scared, I even felt a little sorry for him, but they attacked me and following the advice of an expert goblin hunter, the only good goblin is the one that doesn't come out of his burrow. I quickly took it from his head and began to slowly crush it, it wasn't to enjoy his pain and although I liked to look imposing in front of someone, this was wrong, so I was only measuring how much force I need to crush a skull.

BELIEVE!

—Wow, it's literally like taking cotton candy, I'll have to be very careful with people if I get to interact with them.

I looked at the blood dripping from my hand, and then I saw the last goblin left alive, who was still confident in his supposed invisibility, although I was a bit amused by this, so I pretended not to know where he was, but I I grew serious when I saw him recite a new incantation.

From this came a ball of fire in the shape of a spear, which was aimed at my neck, but before he could throw it I shook my hand strongly and all the blood that was in it, shot like bullets towards the goblin who didn't even he realized, until his invisibility spell disappeared along with the fire lance and he fell to the ground dead.

—Until now I just realized that this was magic, yes, I am clueless or maybe very stupid...

I walked looking at the goblin's body seeing that it had a wand, but in that I felt something that rarely happened in me, it could be described as the feeling of being watched, so I got myself together to look in the direction where I noticed that feeling. But it was clearly nothing, so I just put it aside and went through the bodies.

In fact, now that I start to analyze the situation, I had just killed intelligent beings, although I have to admit that I was a little nervous about killing, I didn't feel guilty about it, but I didn't feel good either, it was just a empty feeling, I suppose it is a normal reaction of someone who has already seen the murder, but does not enjoy this one.

Apart from the wand, I was able to rescue a long sword in good condition because I broke the others along the breastplates, apart from a flint, how I knew it was, simple, for a goblin to want a black stone in his pocket, apart from the fact that I made friction with the sword, so I already had an old lighter, although I didn't need this one, since I didn't need, at least for the moment, the basic necessities of a human being.

So with nothing else to do there, I retreated to the wolves' den.

"I have never used a sword in my life, at most a machete, but with the strength I have it will be more than enough, I can even throw liquids at enormous pressure to the point of looking like bullets"

I thought while swinging the sword from one place to another as if it were a small child, but on my way I managed to find a small pond, where I took the opportunity to wash my hands.

As for my clothes, well, these were very destroyed, literally the only thing that remains in good condition are my underwear, followed by my little shoes and well, my pants are still wearable enough, but my shirt, just a little rag that It covered a few areas, like the upper part.

After a while of walking, I arrived at the place where a wolf was as a guard, it just saw me, it went on guard, but it began to calm down when it saw how I was slowly approaching, I just passed by and went into the cave, where I met the puppies again.

—I feel like a usurper, entering someone's house whenever I want just because hehe... although I wonder why they don't do anything, maybe it's because they realized they don't have a chance, if that's the case I'd say they're very smart.

I approached the puppies, which did not approach me until they looked at me for a few minutes, and then came against me.

I started to play with them, for a while, until the rest of the herd returned together with a kind of good-sized endodonte, very normal compared to the 3-meter pig bull that I ran into yesterday, they all prepared to eat, while I just watched.

Though suddenly a piece of leg was thrown towards my direction. I looked for a moment and saw how the leader threw that at me, and then continued with his food.

—I never thought this would happen, but who am I to turn down something for free... But there's no way I'd eat this raw... unless.

In that, I take out the sword and the flint and an idea quickly arises in my head, just like a 10-year-old boy I get out of the cave and put the piece there, I go a little closer to the forest to see what I need, I quickly find some branches the which I chop perfectly thanks to my inhuman strength and sword, some I stack to build a bonfire and the rest I place in a tilted cauldron position.

With some smaller twigs I stack them next to the wood that will maintain the fire, to later place the piece of leg on the thick branch where it will be cooked and with the primitive lighter, light a small flame which is fanned with the small branches and intensifies with the thick wood generating a bonfire.

—Wow, I never thought I would make one that meets its objective.

I placed the meat between the branch and began to turn it, while the fire did its thing, until after a while the piece of meat was ready.

I took a piece of this, which did not burn me or anything like that despite its temperature, and then took a bite, although I was disappointed, since the flavor was not what I expected, but it was not bad at all. my first time.

Before I knew it, I noticed how the wolves had accumulated behind me, drooling over the meat so I just gave it to them since I didn't like it and I didn't need it either, and so it's not wasted... and less After a few seconds they had finished it, but the surprises did not end there.

-Oh really?

I saw how they had brought the meat of the dead animal and put it in front of me, I knew what they wanted me to do, but it was strange how they trusted me, so after some uncomfortable looks, I got ready to cook that meat. It's not like I have anything else to do either.

After having prepared that meat, they quickly prepared to devour it, while I only played with the little ones, although it was still uncomfortable since I was always watching how much force I apply and although I got used to it, I never miss the "It's gone." I pass my hand."

—From now on I'll call you, little wolf... I'm definitely not good at putting names... oh wow, it's already late.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark, so the wolves went into their cave with their pups, leaving me there alone, it wasn't like I cared, but I didn't know what to do anymore, because whenever I was alone I was ready to be with my computer or any electronic device, although now that I think about it, I think I should have thrown away the goblins' corpses, I don't want to attract more creatures to this part of the forest.

I got up to go in the direction of the goblins, walking for a few minutes I came to the place where, to my surprise, there was nothing of the remains, only the damaged breastplates and the broken swords, I feared the worst and thought that those pig cows were through this part of the forest.

But in any case, I could take care of it with my strength, but what limited me was my laziness, but I had no choice if they try to devour me while I sleep, so I will have no choice but to eliminate them.

However, I begin to feel slight vibrations in the ground, so I look around noticing a cloud of dust in the distance, followed by several pieces of destruction and focusing my views better, I can see something that surprised me.

-Hey? Is that… a girl?

In the distance I could see how a girl with black hair came running with all her might, she looked tired and exhausted, but when I saw what was coming behind her I could see why.

-Oh really? just when I say I don't want to deal with those things unless they attack me…they show up…I don't know whether to be grateful or disappointed.

But my attention was diverted to the girl, who, before reaching a few meters in front of me, stumbled and looked at me with eyes full of fear, which made me feel a little sorry, but I was wondering if it's safe to help her.

I'm fine with helping someone in need, but this is another world, with a different time and culture, so the chances of being betrayed or stabbed in the back increase considerably... but even so, as I mentioned before, I'm not going to sit idly by. while there a monstrous being devouring children's heads, so I walked until I was in front of her, standing between the beasts and them.

—What are you doing, those are too many dinolius, not even you will be able to fight them, you will die in vain—said the girl with clear concern.

-Do not worry, I…

However, I stop abruptly, because I had literally just heard this girl speak Spanish perfectly, or maybe it was my imagination.

-CAREFUL! she yelled, pointing to a creature that had been thrown at me.

No, it wasn't my imagination, she really spoke Spanish.

I quickly launched a blow, which sent the already lifeless body of one of those creatures flying, causing them to stop their career when they saw one of their dead companions, however, they all gave a roar, similar to that of a pig and a lion , and then begin to surround us waiting for my carelessness. But still without flinching, I take a stone and throw it with a part of my strength and it ends up going through everything in its path.

Greatly surprising all the Dinolius? I guess that's what they call them around here.

"I knew that my current strength was through the roof, but even so, I am still amazed by the things that I can achieve"

He quickly took a handful of rocks which he threw in one go, which, like a kind of submachine gun, were filled with many holes, being killed in the process, but in that small oversight, a few were thrown at the girl, for so in a quick movement I placed myself in front of her receiving the dinolius with my sword, which ends up splitting them in half.

—Whew, that was difficult, I appreciate having this strength, otherwise I would be dead.

I have to say that my sword movements were clumsy and random, but with the strength and speed that I had, they became large and forceful attacks that cut like butter.

I wasted no time and I was pushing myself and cutting one by one of all the dinolius that crossed in front of me, until at one point some began to escape and one by one, seeing the disadvantages they began to flee, I thought about chasing them, but As I said I don't kill for fun unless they attack me for the sake of killing so I let them run away unlike the goblins who tried to kill me despite seeing my strength, but well, they are another case apart.

After talking to myself, while looking at my work, I remembered that there was a certain girl, so I turned to see her, only to see how she was static and with an astonished face.

But I remembered the words he said, which apart from being in Spanish, he spoke as if he already knew me when he mentioned "not even you can beat them" I didn't know why, but this is another world, so having distrust is not bad, but That doesn't mean I won't help someone in danger.

"Sorry, I know it sounds weird, but you can understand me," I said, getting the girl's attention, who nodded to me.

"Perfect, that makes things easier... Well, what's your name?" I spoke again, waiting patiently for the answer.

- My name is Aurora...

Before these words I did not notice any lies, what I did notice was that I did not see her move her lips, as if those words were directed to my mind instead of my ears, something like telepathy.

"Very well, Aurora, I want you to answer each of my questions without questioning, okay?" I asked for her to agree.

I didn't like sounding like the bad guy right after saving her, but this was my chance, you could tell she was afraid of me so I decided to take advantage of that to get information out of her.

Maybe I could have done it if I acted nice after saving her, but what tells me not to betray me or give me false information, apart from the fact that he will have doubts when answering me, so this way he can save me all that.

"Okay, first question...

END
