OP System The Hero Backup

Chapter 1.13: Goddess Loki

Yes ... let's see, what kind of man is in this world.

"Who are you?!"

Sitting down and his tone was also slightly trembling, the Great Sword Master asked me with protective intent on his companions.

I looked towards their respective MPs, the MPs they had averaged no more than ten percent left. Hence they were already difficult to stand— except for the Female Knight whose MP was still above fifty percent.

The clothes I was wearing seemed to make them wary of my existence plus the cloak that covered half my face made me become.

"What are you doing in this forest?"

I asked them. Is my tone right? Or too strict? Or too soft? Pimply. Speaking directly turned out to be different from the simulation I created inside my head. The pressure is very different.

But while waiting for them to answer, I got an unexpected reaction. They looked towards their respective friends with puzzled expressions. Wait ... isn't the language I use right? Are my words wrong?

As if answering the uneasiness in my heart, the Great Sword Master spoke again. "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

Ehhhh?!!

What does this mean?! Isn't Indonesian the same language in the world?! Wait, if you think about it again it can't be the same, right? Then why am I able to understand their language while they do not understand my language?!

I was acting confused and confused which made them even more confused. But after a while I realized my attitude had become strange, I went back to being calmer and calmer. Ekhem! That one never happened. Forget, forget.

Oh yea! Super system! In this world, a super system is everything. So maybe I can find the answer there. I turned around and opened the system interface screen.

"A-Ano—" Big Sword sir wanted to invite me to speak again, but I instantly gave him a 'stop' hand gesture that made him instantly stop talking.

Just be patient for a moment, Mr. Big Sword and friends. I'm looking for a way to communicate with you guys while also looking cool.

I looked at the overall screen interface and found something like the gear image commonly used as the setup logo. Here it is, there might be something useful here. I then pressed it down and there were many other arrangements that I didn't really understand.

Etto .., let's see. My eyes continued to slide down following my finger which then stopped in the 'Language' setting'. Here goes! Without further ado, I pressed him straight away and finally found out why they didn't understand what I was talking about.

It turns out that only the 'Hearing' setting is automatically attached with the 'Human' language, while the 'Speaking' setting is still with 'Indonesian'. But in this world the language is called Human Language, huh? Is that not too simple?

I then pressed the direction of the arrow next to the 'Human' language selection and it turned out that there was a 'Devil' language'. So there really are demons in this world?! As expected of Isekai! They never let me down. But for now I'll set it to 'Human'.

I omitted the settings interface screen and turned the body. And once again try to talk to them. "Ecchem .... Do you understand what I'm saying now?"

Their faces were shocked. "Yes, we understand." Nice, Mr. Big Sword! The answer I was really waiting for.

[Understanding of the System Has Increased]

The system also says something. Yes, yes, thank you for your congratulations. But now I still have business. Time to ask them a few questions.

"Are you all right?" First I asked about their situation, showing sympathy with pretending to be worried would make them more relaxed and feel safe.

"Yes .., thanks to you we don't have to lose lives. It's just that our MP was drained enough that we couldn't move too much."

"No need to force yourself. I just happened to be through here." But lies. "And because I heard your cry, I came to help." Lying again. I saved you guys for defeating the mud monster gave me a lot of EXP, you know.

"Before we were really grateful to you. If you can ask, what is your name?" ask the Great Sword. "Arca. Call me Arka" I replied.

"Then, Mr. Arka. What are you doing here alone? It seems like you are also young and the clothes are also too shabby for someone to use."

Huh uh?!! You insulted the clothes I made with great difficulty?! This is the coolest outfit in the world if you want to know! How dare you say that!

But I ignored that and still maintained a calm expression like before. "I'm lost in this forest. It's been a month and I can't get out of here, so meeting you guys makes me calm."

"Sa-one month?! In the Jinnestan Forest?!" So the name of this forest is Jinnestan Forest, anyway. The Great Sword Master and the others were shocked, while to me it was a matter of course. Although the monsters here are big and strong are brash, anyway. Especially the legendary dragon.

"Why indeed?"

"If you may know, your level ...?" The Shield sir asked my level. It's okay to tell you. "Last I checked, level 43." I went up three levels for successfully killing that mud monster before.

"E-forty-three?! You are young but your level is already that high .... Even the children in the Academy still find it difficult to reach such a level."

So for the humans, my level is already high, huh? Either it's thanks to the Super System or it's my luck.

"Well, we don't have to talk about small details like. Besides, can I ask you guys something?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"What is Lux Aeterna?"

"It was the name of the country that was directly adjacent to the Jinnestan Forest. The country is big regionally, the society is prosperous, religious, fertile in terms of agriculture, and the best magic academy in the world is there."

Pretty big country, huh? Maybe in this world Lux Aeterna is similar to Russia or America, maybe. It seems like a suitable country to be used as a place to live. My money will also be used there, too, too bad if they are just hidden and not used for anything.

But before I get there and really get out of this forest, there's still one more thing I have to do here.

"By the way, do you know about the Legendary Dragon Gaia? The huge dragon almost covered the sky, you know."

"Of course we know, the Gaia Dragon is a creature worshiped by some groups of people in Lux Aeterna. But there are also those who think that the Gaia Dragon is just a pet of God and many also worship it."

Really religious country, huh? And the goddess god there seems to be very famous and not just a fairy tale. Well then, there's a chance that they know about the Goddess.

"I want to ask you one more thing, after that you can rest in my place until your condition improves and after that it's up to you." I'm homeless, actually. But the former cobweb cave should have been safe enough to be a temporary resting place.

"What's that?"

"Do you know anything ... about Goddess Loki?"

SRYIINGS...

After I mentioned the name of Goddess Loki, suddenly a dazzling ball of light fell from above the sky and floated in our midst. I actually didn't know the original shape of the light, because the glare made me unable to see it.

"W-what happened?!"

"Are there any monsters attacking?!"

They all looked panicked. That means this is not something created by them. If not them, who did this.

CRAASHH...

After hovering and blinding our eyes for a few seconds, the light shot something at the party of the Great Sword Master. Something very sharp that could pierce their throats and make them instantly lifeless.

Is correct. The first man I met in this world was just killed by something I didn't even know about. But strangely the light did not target me and only to the party of the Great Sword Master.

"You asked the wrong person, Arka Wijayakusuma."

Eh?! I didn't hear wrong! That light just let out a voice and spoke to me! And he also knows my full name, but I haven't told anyone about it here.

"Who are you?!"

I took out my scythe and put up the defensive horses. His voice was similar to the System in my head, but this one was softer and had a feeling, his tone was also more in a relaxed and playful direction.

"It's not polite, you don't know the voice of the man who called you into this world?"

My eyes wide. Really, my eyes were almost out of place, causing my horses to weaken in shock. If he was the one who called me ....

He's laughing a little. It seemed like a funny expression to him. "really so. I'm glad you got it quick."

Calm down. I can't panic, all I have to do right now is take a breath and get it out. "Why did you kill them all?" I calmed down after taking a breath.

"Ara ...? You don't look too shaken."

"Because I don't know them. They're free to do anything after I ask you a few questions, including death."

This world is different from Earth. This is not Indonesia. I cannot be too late in grief. Is correct. Let's just say I don't know and see it, then the sadness won't be too deep.

"You're pretty cold too, huh? But there's one thing wrong with your words. I didn't kill them all, really."

"Eh?"

I looked towards them and found out that the words of Goddess Loki were reality. The Witch Boy was still alive and was grimacing in pain leaning against a tree trunk. I also approached him directly.

The hole did not pierce his throat, but only his shoulder blade. Quickly, I instantly gave her the [Healing] Skill. Before finally being bullied again by Goddess Loki.

"[He—"

"You just healed him."

"Huh?"

"My attack contains poison." Are you kidding me?! That attack that nearly killed instantly still contained poison?! "And the poison will not disappear with any antidote in this world. Because my attack contains heavenly powers."

Heavenly power? He used that kind of thing to attack a kid who was only a dozen?

"His poison will continue to spread slowly for three days, and he will continue to scream in pain every second until his death on the third day."

He this .... I ignored him and kept trying the [Healing] Skill on him. But as he said, [Healing] did not help at all nor did it slow down its poison.

"What are you going to do, Arka? Are you going to let him be tormented with that useless [Healing] Skill, or want to directly end his suffering?"

So anyway. He tested my sympathy using a real human. The goddess ... This Goddess Loki. I sighed and took my scythe. Quickly, I slashed him into the neck of the Witch Boy. He did not have time to shout, my slash was too fast to be felt and his breathing instantly stopped.

"I'm sorry, Rondesh."

I then turned towards the light, somehow the light became dimmer and easier for my eyes to receive. Or because there's a little water at the end of my eye, huh?

"He~ You can still cry, huh? Funny thing."

"Tell me your real purpose for making me do that."

"Hmm ..., why don't you check your level now?"

The levels? Although annoying, but I obey his words and see my status. What happened to my status and especially my level then surprised me.

[Your Level Increases From Lv. 43 Towards Lv. 48]

Wh-what?! My level increased by five levels?! What the hell does this mean? What I killed was only a human level. But why ...? I looked towards the light of Goddess Loki and she sounded a small grin.

"Have you noticed?"

"What does this mean? The EXP I gained was more than a high-level monster. Is it because of what you did?"

"Don't misunderstand me. A system that automatically decides that humans have greater EXP than other creatures. After all, humans were complex creatures in terms of emotions and feelings, so it was only natural that the System considered them superior to mindless monsters. In other words, it's not my fault, dong."

"So that's it."

I still don't know anything about this world. So all I need to do is learn and find out as much truth as I can about this world. But one thing is certain, I will not believe what this rotten Goddess said.

People who easily play with one's life are not to be trusted.

"In that case, I want to ask you."

"Hoo ... What is it?"

"Why did you call me into this world?"

"Hm ...."

Goddess Loki was silent for a moment. He must have had a good reason and chose me to transfer to this world. If you take the example of the animanga I saw.

"Because I'm bored, anyway."

"Huh?! You called me because you were bored?! What kind of stupid excuse is that?!"

Can't be trusted! Is there such a foolish and such a fool?! Didn't the Goddess of fairy tales have their respective duties?

"Being a Goddess made me too strong and omniscient, so everything became boring to me. Uh! I also know that you called me the 'Stupid Goddess' in your heart just now, you know."

"Mnh ...!" She know?! "Don't listen to someone's heart. Privacy, oi!"

"Alright, alright, I will suppress my omniscient power specially for you."

I then sighed. "Huh .... I think I know why I came here. I'm not happy because there are people who use me only as entertainment, but I also have to thank you for keeping me alive." I really don't have much choice but to cheer him up.

"That's right, Arka. Entertain me as hard as you can. If I get tired of you, I could throw you away at any time. You also have no right to protest, for your life in this world is in my hands."

A sweat of worry appeared on my forehead. Suddenly his tone turned deeper and more serious. Although I can imagine that there is still a playful grin on his face.

"So, what are you gonna do next?" He asked me directly. His tone also instantly turned more cheerful. This goddess is truly terrible.

"The plan is to leave this forest and visit the human country, Lux Aeterna. I want to see what kind of life there is. But before that, there's still one more thing I need to get done here."

"And what's that business?"

"I want to kill the Legendary Dragon Gaia."

Goddess Loki grinned and then laughed loudly. But it wasn't like he was mocking me, he was just amused by my plans. "You're really an interesting spectacle, you know?" said Goddess Loki.

"Don't call me a 'watch' even though I'm a spectacle."

"But I'm sure you don't know where Gaia is right now, do you?"

"Yes. I was going to look for the scales that turned into little dragons, but most of them are dead."

"You don't have to do such a troublesome thing."

"Eh?"

"[Teleportation]"

Goddess Loki cast a Skill on me that made me instantly move from the edge of the lake. I am in the air now. Free fall. Is correct. The goddamn goddess moved me in the high sky.

"Eeehhhhhh!!!! You fucking Goddess!!!"

Even though I am in free fall. But I could see below me clearly, the broad-span wings that were being folded and the super-large creatures that were sound asleep. He was the sleeping Legendary Dragon Gaia.
