My Wants To Kill Me - Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Real fun start
“Ding … Successful. The system will be called Janus.” The system answered back.
The darkness disappeared as Ryder got his senses back.
“What the hell? I’m back at that place?”
Ryder let out with a stunned look on his face as he found himself standing in front of the hut. It was the same but he was sent to when he was made an NPC by Maya and the same place he died.
“Wait a minute… did I just speak?”
“I really did!!! I can talk!!! Are the restrictions lifted?”
Ryder was shocked to find out that he was able to speak his thoughts out loud. He has gained back the control of his body m
Ryder was so excited that he couldn’t help but jump high in the air.
He was freed from the restrictions. He could finally do what he desired.
As he was jumping in the air, A young boy came to him.
“Ah… Sir… Do you need help with something?” The young boy with Ryder.
“Hmm? Aren’t you the one that came two days ago and asked the same thing?”
‘I remember this boy. He came to me on the first day I was turned to an NPC by Maya. He was the first person to come to me for a quest. What is he doing here again?’ Ryder thought with a confused look on his face.
“I don’t understand, Sir. It’s my first day in this village. You might be confusing me with someone else”
The boy replied with an honest smile on his face.
‘What is happening? Did I travel back in time?’ It was the first thought that came to Ryder’s mind.
‘Janus? Did you bring me back in time?’ Ryder thought in his mind. He was wondering if Janus was able to hear him.
“Host is Correct! The time has been reversed so that the mission can be given.” Ryder heard Janus’ voice.
Ryder wanted to ask what he was talking about, but he heard Janus’ voice again before he could even ask.
“Ding… The first mission has been assigned to the host.
Mission: Kill the player that killed you last time.
Reward: You will regain your real body.
Punishment for failure: Your chances of getting your real body back will be over.
Time Limit: 2 days.”
Janus told him in his childish voice.
‘What the fuck? I need to kill that bulky Baldy? He’s a player and I’m an NPC. Despite him being a newbie, I’m inherently weaker. Only the Village Sword Elder has the strength to do it. How do you expect me to do it?’ Ryder thought with an impossible look on his face. He couldn’t help but wonder if Janus was joking or being serious.
He was talking to Janus in his thoughts as he had realized that Janus could read his thoughts.
Janus didn’t say anything, but that young boy said something instead.
“Ah… Sir? Do you have a quest for me?” The young boy asked again.
“Hmm… yea right… Go and find my stick and don’t disturb me!” Ryder told the boy in a carefree tone.
‘I don’t have time to play with that boy. I have more important things to do. I need to get ready to kill someone after all’
He walked towards the Village Elder’s dojo. The Village Elder was also the Sword Master of this novice village. Back when Ryder had first entered this game as a newbie, he was taught his first sword skill by that guy.
“Elder Ruan! Can I learn swordsmanship as well?” He asked the Village head, but surprisingly the Elder’s answer was no.
“Why not?” He asked with a stunned look on his face, but all the Village Elder said was that only players could learn swordsmanship in this village.
“What the hell! You old man, don’t you want me to get my body back? You’re literally killing me! Who made such a rule?” Ryder couldn’t help but curse out loud.
“Control your temper, young man! You should behave properly. Anyways, these rules were made by the Goddess Maya.” The Village Elder responded.
‘That bitch again? She can’t do anything decent, can she? She always has to make things difficult for me.’
He wanted to say that out loud but he didn’t want to die by the hands of the Village Elder for talking smack about their goddess.
“Please village head! I really need to grow stronger! ”
Ryder begged him again, but that stubborn old man didn’t fall for it.
“Looks like I can only use my own methods to succeed.” After failing in his task miserably, Ryder turned back.
He left that place and walked back to the Village Shop. The shop sold many things from weapons to shields.
“Hey Hades, What’re you doing here? Do you need something?” The owner of the shop glanced at Ryder who was standing in front of his shop and asked.
The owner of this shop was another NPC. His name was Marcus.
“Yes, Brother Marcus. I need to buy a shovel and some other things” Ryder told the shop owner as he placed his hands on the counter at the front.
“Hahaha Sure. Just name the things you need. I’ll give you the best price.” Marcus laughed as he told Ryder.
“Ahh… Well, the thing is… Can I pay you later? I don’t have money at the moment.” Ryder said in an embarrassed tone as he faced Marcus.
“Sure, I’ll trust you. If I don’t trust you then who will I trust?” Marcus smiled as he answered.
‘I swear he’s an angel! This guy is the best! Nothing like that crappy old village elder. Anyways, Thankfully I received everything that I need.’ Ryder couldn’t help but praise Marcus secretly.
He took the things he needed and left the village. He walked into the nearby forest and started digging. He dug for hours and it was finally nigh. He packed his stuff and went back to that shabby hut.
“This feels way too real.”
The broken bed was not at all comfortable to sleep, but he finally managed to sleep amidst the crackling noises of the bed.
Ryder only slept for a few minutes when a light started shining on his face. He opened my eyes after much effort and realized that it was already morning.
‘People are right. When you work hard during the day, the sleep will feel much shorter in the night’
Ryder smiled as he got off his bed and got dressed. He picked up a shovel and left the house.
“Oh, You’re here!! I found your stick.”The young boy came back with the stick. Wuxiaworld for visiting.
Ryder wasn’t surprised much as the boy had come at a similar time in the previous timeline.
“Good, Keep that stick and here… take these 3 beans. Go to the shop of Marcus for your next quest.”
He threw 3 beans towards the boy before he left. He didn’t have much time to waste on the guy.
Most of the day was spent on digging and the remaining time was spent on finishing other preparations.
It was again night time, but he was much more relaxed as everything was finally finished. The preparations were completed.
He walked back to my hut and slept like a baby. Just like yesterday, the night passed away in the blink of an eye and it was already morning.
“Damnit! Can’t the night be a little longer?”
Ryder cursed as soon as he woke up. He was in a pretty cranky mood as his sleep was too short.
He left the house but didn’t leave the village this time. He just stood at the front of his house and waited for the man of the hour.
Two hours passed and finally, it was time for the Baldy to arrive.
“There he is!” He finally noticed him as a smile spread on his face.
“Hey NPC! I heard that you’re telling people to find your stick! I didn’t find the stick! Why don’t you give me those 3 beans either way?” The bulky man was standing in front of me and said.
‘As expected, he said the same thing as last time. It’s time for the real fun to start.’
