The Game Rune System

Chapter 5: Bandits

Bandits Who are they?

"Idiots who have lost their purpose," Tetsuya commented. He was speaking with Ashley about his next goal, which was to gather players. "If you can move and kill, then you can work." It was as simple as that.

This made Ashley nod within his mind, her eyes shifting to the new feature.

It was a minimap that exposed the bandit's camp. She had knowledge about some naughty people in the neighborhood, but only this minimap could pin-point the real location of these bandits!

Following the red dots, Tetsuya and Ashley were planning to make these bandits the players. The plan had yet to be made, though. In the beginning, Tetsuya wanted to just go at them and fight, but the bandits were supposed to be stronger than the villagers, and their numbers were the other thing.

"I can't believe this world It continues to betray me." Tetsuya responded, amazed, his eyes on the map. "Those bandits do mainly three things; thievery, eat, and sex." They were doing it everywhere without caring about others as bandits were free people!

Tetsuya liked the freedom and hated rules too, but his case was far different. "If everyone could ignore the rules, how would I stand out? This world can not betray me any longer!" A plan has been decided then.

"What's the plan?" Ashley felt that too, her voice forcing her partner to spit out everything.

And as he exactly did it, Tetsuya licked his lips as he spoke about the quests. "The quests will be given to those bandits."

He then emerged out of the shadows. The truth was that Tetsuya and Ashley weren't far away from the bandit camp! His handsome features were a little exposed as Tetsuya's big vest covered his whole body.

Nonetheless, his sneer somewhat annoyed bandits whose eyes were eying the new visitor with curiosity and laughter.

"Are you possibly one of our victims? Haha!" One of the bandits laughed. His body was far better than the gorilla. Instead of being filled with meat and huge muscles, this man's proportions were far 'healthy'.

His friends then laughed in unison. "Haha! He might be indeed one poor soul! What brings you here? Do you want to beg for some clothes?" The question caused another chain of laughter!

Even the bonfire swayed as if laughing together with bandits.

Tetsuya wasn't offended at all as he was far from losing to the bandits. He just got kicked once by a gorilla, but it was because he didn't want to use his rune at all. Now, the whole world was his only enemy!

That was what he thought!

"I can exchange special runes for pants," Tetsuya said naturally, his voice misunderstood on the spot! Who in the world would exchange runes for pants? Bandits nearly died from laughter after hearing it, then the leader stood up.

His expression was distorted from both laughter and tears that came out of it.

"Let me see those runes. Hah!" He slowly closed the distance. "If you give me a good one, then I will pass you the best pants from my treasure. Aren't we the same height?"

Both of them were pretty tall, and so Tetsuya and the boss' eyes didn't need to move as they looked into each other.

As sneer swept through the more handsome individual, a new rune appeared above his palm. This individual was obviously Tetsuya, whose hand held a small stone. This stone looked so plain and normal that the boss narrowed his eyes dangerously.

His hand then went up to grab Tetsuya's neck, but the latter just slapped it away with passable agility. "Do you want to die painlessly? If so, then apologize for wasting my time, brat." The slapped hand then clenched into a fist.

"Wasting time, you said? Aren't you all wasting your time as bandits anyway? This rune is here to help you be a tad better person, but if that is how you are going to treat me, then I might as well go to another camp."

There were many bandit groups, each closed with their most trustful folks. There were times where bandits fought between themselves for the loot, so all of them were on bad terms. Tetsuya knew this from Ashley and rather risked his life by using this move.

He had different thoughts, however.

As his hand went up, Tetsuya just threw the rune at the boss. "You fucking-" The boss naturally spoke in his language filled with curses, but when he got his by the stone, his eyes blinked as something strange happened to his mind.

He could see a window with information in the corner of his eyes. This information described his name, class, which was a bandit, and many other stats. His health and mana were the most important, but there was also Rune Stat that told him about his main rune used for plundering.

This information was also passed to Tetsuya and Ashley.

"What is this rune?" The boss asked with confusion.

In the meantime, his folks went wide and asked in tandem. "Boss Are you serious? You just got hit by this punk! Was this stone too heavy?" They wondered like idiots, but the boss shouted at them back with his usual tone, causing them to believe that he was all right.

"Close your dirty mouth, bastards!" Then, his eyes turned to Tetsuya. "Is this quest for real?" A quest appeared within his mind as well. The quest just stated to work out for strength stats! It wasn't that wild quest like Tetsuya had given for himself, but it surely would make the bandits busy.

Hearing the question, Tetsuya's sneer widened. "You can try it here and now." He then pointed at the ground with his chin. Such a bossy attitude would usually make the bandit boss let out a punch, but the new rune and power within his mind allowed him to keep his emotions in check.

The boss swallowed up his saliva loudly, then uttered. "I will try it now."
