OP System The Hero Backup

Chapter 1.2: Avoiding Danger

It feels like a dream. My light body and flying into the sky still felt unreal to me. Moreover, I am just an ordinary human being who has never felt such a thing.

But now everything has changed. I no longer live in this world. If given the voice of the woman who called herself 'System', it seems like I moved to another world.

Wait for. Isn't that the same as me being dead? That voice lied to me? Damnit. I shouldn't have believed him just like that. I forgot my mother's words not to talk to strangers, and this was the result.

"Huh?!"

I opened my eyes in surprise. Because the first thing I saw was usually the ceiling of my room, but now it was the leafy leaves and the blue sky and the sunlight that immediately pierced my eyes. I got up and avoided the light.

I look around me. This is definitely not my home— no, want to be seen from wherever this is obviously no human being would want to live here. I woke up in the middle of a wilderness that was somewhere on the map.

"DAMN IT, WHERE AM I NOW?!!"

I took out everything in my chest but stopped it immediately because I realized it was stupid. I could have drawn the attention of a wild animal like a tiger or something.

Patience Arka, patience. You are a smart student. Suddenly being in the middle of the forest without any preparation was an easy thing for you.

"I was going to say so .., but I'm not sure if people my age can survive" I murmured.

My last memory if I'm not mistaken is that I want to be hit by a truck, but suddenly there's a voice inside my head and ....

Oh yea! That Super System!

He suddenly appeared and installed inside my body which gave me a second chance at life. That means I was sent here most likely it was also her work.

And I also remembered that I could bring up a hologram screen in front of my face. Now my question is how do I open it myself.

I thought for a moment to remember the science I got while playing the game. This system is very similar to the RPG games I used to play when I was a kid. And the name of the hologram screen if in the game is Status.

So it might be ....

"Open Status."

And it's true. The hologram screen appeared in front of me. I grinned arrogantly because of my cleverness. Sometimes I think I'm too smart. All right, all right, let's see what's on this Status screen.

{Name : [Arka Wijayakusuma]

Level 1: 1

Title: [Movement Man]

Skill: Not Having Any Active Skill

Money : [0 Zaimon] [0 Gold] [0 Silver] [0 Bronze]}

So anyway. It's the same as RPG games. There's a name that proves that this is my status screen.

Then level. Of course I'm only level one because I just moved here. It seems like my status will continue to grow if my level is higher. Moreover, at the bottom of all my statuses there are green, red, and blue bars which are respectively inscribed HP, MP, and SP.

Then there's the title. It looks like this is a title if I do something extraordinary. My title here is still [Movement Man] because I haven't done anything in the world.

But what the fuck is that ugly [Movement Man] name? They make me sound like a man who doesn't have a home. At least give me a cool name like Reinkarnator or something.

Mmmm .... Okay, I understand that I'm not a reincarnator. Because the reincarnator must have died in the previous world and reincarnated into this world to become a baby or human in this world who has died.

But I'm technically supposed to be dead, dong? I almost got hit by a truck before moving here, so that counts, too, dong? Aye, right?

I tried to turn my title into a reincarnator, but every effort I could not make because what I was fighting against was this world system. Basic Cheating system, damn it.

Next is Skill. Hehehe .. This is the favorite part of everyone in every player who plays RPG games. Strong skills are a priority for me, so that the people who see it will be amazed and they will show their desperate faces. Ahaha! After that everything bowed to me!

Okay, I'm like a stupid psychopath. So I stopped him immediately.

For the Skill itself, it seems like I will rely on a Skill that has many uses. Like for example [Weapon Mastery] and [Martial Art], or maybe [Appraisal], or even just in case that around me is safe, maybe I also need a [Clairvoyance] Skill.

For [Weapon Mastery], I need it because I want to master a wide variety of weapons. Obviously I will strengthen my body with exercises and such, but weapons are also very useful under certain circumstances.

For example, using arrows and attacking enemies that I cannot reach with my bare hands. Then the sword or knife will also be very useful later, who knows I can learn the techniques of weapons in this world.

Then the Skill [Appraisal] is the most important one in my opinion. By having this skill, I can peek at the status of both monsters and humans. I can better manage my strategy if I know what skills they have and what Level they are.

And the last one, [Clairvoyance]. I want this skill because it's purely my favorite, anyway. In the RPG game, this Skill serves to check around us within a certain distance. So I can figure out the surrounding area and track the enemy's whereabouts without having to look directly.

Talk about lazing. This is the skill I want to have in the real world. Just imagine, I no longer need to worry about crossing the road. I also won't lose my things while inside the house. And there are many other benefits as well.

And now it is about these HP, MP, and SP Bars. I know that HP is what shows our blood capacity, then MP is about Mana or energy to issue various skills. But my question is ....

"THE SP? What'sthis?"

I try to remember. Rarely does an RPG game that uses SP in its status, let alone this goes into a bar which means it is quite important. Moreover, only my SP bar stayed a little, while the others were still full of untouchables.

"Hm ...."

Kryuukk...

Urghs. All these heavy thoughts make me hungry. I need to find something I can make food for.

I moved from where I was standing from earlier and turned off my status screen, I then searched under and over the tree if I could find any mushrooms or fruit.

"??!!"

While I was busy looking for food, suddenly a warning alarm appeared in my head as if telling me to be on the lookout for something. As I was panicking and confused as to what was really going on, a hologram screen that was now in red appeared in front of me.

[Quest Held Begins]

[Living From Legendary Monsters. The Ancient Nature Dragon, Gaia]

[Tier of Difficulty: Difficult]

[Reward :???]

I looked to the right and left but could not find his whereabouts. I even checked under my feet and checked the vibrations on the ground. Because well .., he is a land dragon, so who knows he will emerge from the ground.

But all my estimates were wrong. A shadow covered the sun above my head which made me look up.

"Be-large crazy!"

The dragon is bigger than my shadow. Its wings stretched until it almost covered the sky along my eyes, how could such a huge creature exist in this world?!

Besides that the size of his body is also no less crazy. If you say that the blue whale is the largest animal, then the length of this dragon from head to tail may be the same as the five blue whales aligned.

Then the dragon was silver— no, maybe gray? I don't know, but it looks like what I saw was his stomach. So I don't really know the true color of the scales.

Forget about his physical form and my admiration for how majestic this dragon named Gaia is. The system said that I should try to survive the legendary monster, but I'm not sure if he can see me.

I mean ... The comparison is too far! My body is only slightly larger than a single piece of his scales. It seems like I wouldn't have gotten much attention if I hid behind thousands of trees in this forest.

When I had calmed down enough that the dragon was just flying through this forest, he suddenly stopped surfing in the air and went down near where I was at the moment.

What bad luck do I have?

The flapping of its wings when it came down alone was already able to make the trees here almost fly. And when he landed, the land he poked created a crust of tens of meters and created a small earthquake around here. The trees he sat on were also destroyed. You're a walking disaster or what, oi?!

He looked down and his eyes were walking around as if looking for something. He didn't see me, did he? Not see, not see, not see. I am a tree, I am only a stone, I do not breathe and I do not live.

I try to hide myself as hard as I can. Then after trying that hard, I peeked back from the tree trunk that I was hiding in.

"?!!"

The pupils of his lizard eyes and my eyes looked directly at him. He could notice my body from the thousands of trees that were disguising me. How could?! Are the eyes of all the dragons in this world indeed that sharp?!

I swallowed my cold spit. My body is too stiff to move. I was trembling in fear. Is this the end of my life when I haven't even been here a day?

As our eyes were looking, he closed his eyes. Then hundreds of silver scales fell from his body. It would be disgusting if I could describe it. But each fallen scales instantly regenerated and grew new scales.

After that, the small scales that fell down formed a mini version of him. And they all started flying all over the forest. What does this monster want?! Did he hunt me down to create a mini version of himself up to hundreds of tails.

I gathered my strength and courage. My originally stiff legs are now slowly moved and I move them to retreat and run away from here. Impossible. If even I can't move my legs to escape, then I don't deserve this second life.

Come on, I am smart and brave! Foolish with that quest! First save yourself.

Three of the mini Gaia realized my existence and are now chasing me. Nawat, drugging, shreds! They were flying and the movements were very nimble which easily caught up with me.

I looked back and the paws of one of them were on the back of my head. Damnit. Even from the shape alone I know that the claw can penetrate my skull like through tempe.

Can't be! I'm gonna die again!

I closed my eyes and tripped over the roots of the wood that rose up on the ground. Some time my eyes closed but nothing happened, which made me curious and opened my eyes.

"E-uh?"

Three-three mini Gaia were lying on the ground with large sharp object wounds. Did they hit something? It's definitely not because of me.

As I was processing what was happening, suddenly once again a shadow passed over my head. I was even surprised because quite often someone passed over my head. This time it was not too far above the head.

And then I realized, if the one who just killed mini Gaia is a kind of eagle-like bird— monster I can say. But this one is almost ten times as big as an eagle on earth. Is everything in here really all giants, huh?

That eagle monster doesn't seem to intend to protect me, it only protects its territory. Quickly dozens of mini Gaia has fallen because of it and continues to grow.

And a while later, all the Mini Gaia that were here had already been wiped out. This eagle monster seemed to be the ruler of this forest area. So thanks to his instincts, no matter if it was a legendary monster or not, he would still protect his territory.

After the affair here was over, he flapped his dashing wings and shot towards the sky. The eagle monster was planning to fight Gaia alone. He's gone mad!

Eagle monsters are strong, but what he will fight is a legendary monster, you know! Even I who knew nothing about this world, knew that fighting a legendary monster was suicide.

"Oi! Don't fight it!"

Unknowingly I screamed to stop him, but it was for nothing. I'm not sure if the eagle monster understands my language. Then what I saw next was a gust of fire that immediately burned down the eagle monster.

My eyes widened. The blaze in the sky was hot even felt on me who was sitting on the forest floor. He cannot be defeated. From the beginning, why did such an unreasonable monster seem to exist.

The fire disappeared and the lizard's eyes looked directly at me. I don't know what to do, even running away seems to be impossible.

What happened next was beyond my expectations.

"Eh?"

He just left after looking at me. Ahh .... I-i understand. His gaze was a look of pity. I was so worthless that Gaia, a legendary monster, let me go. He didn't see me as a threat at all.

I don't know why it pisses me off.

My pride that was once always praised and acknowledged became tarnished. It is in my heart that I cannot let my pride be tarnished. I then stood up and clenched my hands in annoyance.

The current me might not be able to do anything, but just wait, Gaia. You may never feel what it's like to be defeated by the trash you've underestimated, right?
