The Military System - 22 A

The M20-A flashed as a baby Orc died.

(That was the last one….)

Add once again checked with his [Perception] and verified there was no Orcs left alive around him. After dealing with the Orc Champion, he returned to the Orc village to clear the remaining Orcs. There some female Orcs in the village. The Orc race seldom had females. Among a 100 Orcs there would only be about 10 – 15 females, and only the chieftain had the right to copulate with them. The female orcs were bit weaker than their male counterparts and were dealt with swiftly by Add. He also found tens of orc offspring which he also killed.

[Ding! You have levelled up! Exp for next level 1340/5810]

With this he had levelled up thrice in a day. Add felt a little pleased at this. Afterwards, he collected all the ears he could find, and bought a large crude sack from the system shop to store the orc ears and Orc Chieftain’s head.He had killed over 150 Orcs which was quite the number. He now had a total of 7,500 CP, which was quite a lot.

(Lets get some skills this time….)

He opened the Skill menu and looked for any suitable skills he could use. There were hundreds of skills to choose from, but not many suited him. Finally he bought two skills for 500 CP each.

Skill : [(Basic)Agility Enhancement Lv.1(Passive)]

Description : Increases the movement speed of the host by 2%. Every level increase of the skill increases movement speed by 2%.

Skill : [(Basic)Clear Vision Lv.1 (Passive)]

Description : Allows the host to clearly observe every detail in a five metre radius. Every Increase in level increases range by 5 metres.

With these two skills, he could now be faster and his observation ability would be boosted as well. Although the [Agility Enhancement] didn’t directly affect his [Agility] stat, it was still very useful. He looked at his AK, and as expected he could see its every detail. No, not like a microscope but much better than the naked eye. It would help him look out for any suspicious things in his vicinity. He then put one stat points to Endurance and Stamina each and levelled up [Body Strengthening] to level 7 and [Agility Enhancement ] to level 3 using the 4 skill points he had. He wanted to level up [Imaginary Time] as well but it needed 20 skill points, which was fair, given that it was a cheat – like skill.

_ _ _ _ _

Ad no had 17 points in strength. He punched a tree with little force yet his fist left a deep imprint on the tree. However, there was not a single scratch on his fist.

(My strength should now be on par with the guild master…. I should have no troubles facing those A – Rank Adventurers anymore. At the worst, I am still confident of escaping…..)

He then packed up his stuff and headed back towards the cliff. After resting there for the night he left for Rigel the next day. Add started at dawn after completing his daily training, and with his enhanced speed and stamina, it took him around 8 hours to return back which for a normal person would be over 12 hours. He went to the guild and headed straight for the Guild Master’s office. On the way many people including, Mason, Clara and Vlad saw him but didn’t try to stop him. This piece of trouble was the Guild Master’s . With a bang, Add kicked open the door and entered. The guild master Jim instantly began fuming and veins popped on his forehead.

“How dare you! Who dares acts so brazenly in this-”

He stopped midway as he saw who it was that entered.

“You brat!!! back already !?”

Jim was really shocked. It had barely been two days since the boy left for the quest and he was back already? What joke was this ? Add swiftly dropped the sack on the floor and a large round object rolled out along with a pile of spilling Orc ears which gave a pungent smell. The Guild Master’s eyes widened looking at the large pile of ears. He walked towards the round object and found that it was in fact a severed head.

“Holly hell ! Isn’t this a Orc Chieftain! F*ck how did you manage to kill it !?”

The Guild Master forgot his (non-existent) manners and swore loudly. Add looked at him expressionlessly as if looking at a fool. After a short while he spoke…

“This enough to complete the quest ?”

Jim broke away from his stupor and immediately called a few staff to take away the ears and the head. He wearily sat down and sighed. ‘This damned brat….he is full of mysteries’.

“Old man, answer me, is this enough to complete the quest ?” Add asked coldly.

“Yes yes…wait a minute” Jim sighed and massaged his temple. He filled up some paperwork and instructed Clara to take away Add’s Guild card and issue a new one. Clara looked at the young boy in strange clothes with curiosity. Although she still felt wariness against him, she was also curious about this mysterious boy. After she left, Jim began talking….

“Well boy, I must say I am impressed. For someone so young to have this strength, I am sure a few in your generation would be able to best you. Itis indeed as they say ‘heroes may come from anywhere, Ah”

He exclaimed with some emotion. Though Rigel was but a spec of dust when compared to Reinglief which spanned over tens of thousands of kilometres across, he in his prime had travelled a lot, and seen many geniuses. Among them he found Add’s talent to be exceptional. Although he didn’t posses much mana, he definitely had skills.

“Enough with the banter, where is my reward ?”

Jim was speechless, this arrogant brat really didn’t put him into the eyes. In the next ins his face turned dead serious, as he launched a punch with full power towards Add. With a whoosh the punch appeared before Add’sface. His attack was many times faster than Lee, but like in case of Lee, the young boy effortlessly stopped the punch with one arm.

“Old man, are you tired of living.” Add was feeling irritated on the inside. First that Lee brat tried to attack him, then this old fogey did the same. Jim however gave a smile and retracted his arm. He had attacked with all of his physical force and even used [Mana equip] to strengthen it, still the boy had stopped it with ease.

“Ah don’t worry brat, I was just testing you. Looks like you do have some strength to back up your arrogance heh! Fine, I officially promote you to an A ranked Adventurer from this moment forth. You can collect your new card and rewards from Clara downstairs.”

[Ding! Mission : Veteran Adventurer Completed!]

[Mission Rewards : 5000 Exp. and 1000 CP Obtained!]

[Ding! You have levelled up. Exp. for next level 530/6400]

This quest was really quite benefitting for him, he had levelled up a total of four times during it. He lightly nodded to the Guild Master and stood up to leave.

“Wait! What’s the rush ? Now that you are an important member of this guild, shouldn’t you share some more about yourself ? Lets have a small chat !”

“No need” The boy denied flatly, “And now that I have proved my worth, I would expect you to stop sending people to follow me, otherwise I wont be lenient on them if I spot them again.” He said and left.

“Sigh….I know everyone has their secrets…..well K only hope your secret is not against the interests of the guild….other than that you can do as you please.” The Guild Master said helplessly.

Add who heard it didn’t stop and moved on. He went to the reception where Clara was waiting for him. As a reward for the goblin subjugation, he received50 sliver coins and another 150 for all the orcs he killed. Apparently, he could have received more but the guild had to give some money to the fallen Adventurers’ families and as such the rewards had to be thinned. Still he had enough money to last a long time now. He was also given a new guild card which was a golden plate, on which his details and Rank were engraved along with the small identification crystal.

For the next few days he stayed back at the Inn, not taking any quests. He would be training by himself or spending time in the library. He got some more information about the surrounding geo-political regions.

While continuing his daily training he noticed that after a certain while, his training didn’t add to his stats anymore. He asked the system about it to which it replied…

[Host has already reached his physical limits and can only grow stronger using the stats. If you wish to further enhance your body and physique you can buy the special physique improving serums from the shop!]

Add looked at those serums and his face darkened. The lowest one cost a million CP, while the most expensive ones went beyond the billions. This was daylight robbery! He sighed and decided to keep it aside for now. Right now, he could only strengthen himself, by levelling up.

“Becoming strong is such a pain….” he sighed

During the next month he took a few quests. He would have done more, but there were not many quest he could do as A – Rank quests were quite few. These included hunting Dire wolves, dealing with more Orc villages, hunting goblins, etc. Over this time he levelled up to level 20 and his strength also increased a lot. Add also purchased a pair of new weapons.

Item : Heckler & Koch HK417A2 Battle Rifle (Grade – Rare, Rank – High Tier)

It has a 40 mm interface for GLM/M320/HK269 add-on grenade launchers, and comes with G28 E2: Schmidt & Bender 3–20×50 PM II sights.

Damage : 100 (Normal Rounds), 160 (Armour Piercing Rounds)

Durability : 200/200

Effective Firing Range : 200 – 250 metres

Item : Barrett M107A1 Long Range – Semiautomatic Sniper Rifle (Grade – Unique, Rank – Low Tier)

Description : Combining over 35 years of research and development with feedback from the most demanding military end users, created this beast, the M107A1. While it may share the same iconic look and legendary reliability of legacy Barrett firearms, its firepower and lethality shadows all its predecessors. Everyone fears this deadly weapon.

Chambering the beastly .50 BMG (12.7×99mm NATO) in a 10 round steel magazine, and a muzzle velocity of around 900 metres per second, this rifle packs enough punch to penetrate hardened steel plates. It comes with an improved MIL-STD-1913 rail mounted sights, lightweight quick-detach adjustable bipod and Barrett QDL Suppressor.

Damage : 500 (Normal Round), 750 (Armour Piercing Round)

Durability : 400/400

Effective Firing Range : 1800 – 2000 metres

Technically speaking, the M107A1 was a recoil-operated, semi-automatic anti-materiel sniper system developed by the American Barrett Firearms Manufacturing company. Utilizing state of the art design, manufacturing, and materials, every component of the rifle has been engineered to be lighter and stronger than its predecessors. The M107A1 was optimized for use with a sound suppressor, providing a much-needed signature reduction capability to the sniper. Lighter, stronger, more accurate, and more capable; the M107A1 has truly been engineered for action. It is made of lightweight steel alloys and aluminium upper receiver with integral 23″ (58.4 cm) 27 MOA M1913 optics rail which can mount the sights and covered with anti-corrosive coatings

The HK417A2 was one of the best battle rifles ever built, while the Barrett M107A1 was a legendary beast among sniper rifles and it could also use Armour piercing bullets. With these two weapons, Add had gained a very deadly arsenal. He had stayed in Rigel for over 2 months, and now it was time to move on. He already had a new destination in mind. Little did he know that this decision would change the world forever.
