My Magical System

Chapter 5

Before the storm

My sight was blurry because of the flying object that hit my forehead squarely or rather poor head. I shook my head lightly and rubbed my eyes. I peered at my surroundings and saw the cold looking beauty in front of me pointing her dagger at my throat. I swallowed back my saliva and felt the cold sweat gushing at my back.

“If next time you will charge at the enemy and leave the formation again. I will kill you first.” She coldly said that. Her brows almost greeted each other

and her eyes showed a faint glint. She looked like a predator ready to devour her prey.

I can feel the chill of killing intent sent towards me. I couldn’t think that such a petite looking girl could shiver my spine.

Because of her slightly loud voice, it caught the other’s attention. Other people in the surrounding laugh at the sight of Eman scolded by a girl.

He scratched his head while thinking, this girl must be talking about Eman, the previous owner of his body. Based on what he heard, Eman charged alone at the sight of enemies and opened a hole in their team formation and almost dragged all of them to their death bed.

He didn’t know how to explain, but later on, he decided to ignore it. The girl mistook him for someone, but right now and from now on, he would be going to be that someone. And he could not recklessly retaliate. In fact, he didn’t know how to fight.

The girl although looks so young, he could feel some unordinary strength from her.

.....

Still, reprimanded in public by a younger girl wasn’t a good feeling. This girl is only 17 years old and he was 23 years old. But right now, he was inside the body of a 17 years old boy. So there was nothing he could do but to remain silent and nod his head lightly with a frown.

“Mark it in your empty brain idiot,” she said before leaving him standing still in a daze.

Hah! He sighed after the cold girl left. That girl was just too mean.

Regardless,

If he’s not wrong, the skill slot needs to be filled in order for him to use some awesome abilities. But he had to buy the skill scroll in the Market Section that could be seen in his Window Interface.

Every level grants him random skill points and random stat points. But first, he must buy the skill and insert it in his skill slot. However, he needed Soul Points in order to do that. Yet for now, he had zero points. If the information in his mind was right, then he needed to kill any life forms to acquire soul points.

So for now, in order for him to survive in this world, he must get stronger. To do that, he had to kill some monster and collect as many soul points as he could.

Unexpectedly, he noticed the atmosphere slightly changed; he glanced at the surroundings and witnessed different kinds of expressions worn by the soldiers’ faces. Some have grim and solemn expressions. And some showed determined and motivated faces.

He caught a glimpse of the sun that started to peek. Later on, the commander in charge of this mission stepped to the front.

“I know everyone lost their families, friends, and loved ones to the monster’s fangs and nails. But we encourage our hearts to stand side by side. Struggle for hegemony! We are the owners of this land! Of this world! We must rise! Everyone, prepare yourselves! Take your weapons! Bring victory and vengeance to our men who sacrificed their lives in order to reclaim our fallen lands! Men! Let’s Fight! Fight for hegemony! Fight for vengeance! For GLORY!!!” inspired by the commander.

FIGHT FOR HEGEMONY!!!

FIGHT FOR VENGEANCE!!!

FOR GLORY!!!

WooooOOOOHHHHHH!!!

While raising their arms and banging their weapons in the air, the soldiers roared with vigour.

FIGHT!

FIGHT!

An earth-shattering war cry followed after the commander’s inspirational speech.

He looked strong. Based on his figure Yeman thought this commander is at 40+ years of age. He has short trimmed black hair. Slight beards on his face and have a large body build and at his back hung, a Bastard Sword. He wore full silver-plated armor.

After the speech, everyone went to their respective squad.

Yeman went to his squad but he couldn’t find uncle Ronny. He craned his neck to find the man but failed. Later on, Uncle Ronny arrives with a frown on his face.

“What’s up, Captain?” Asked by their tank Stonehard.

“Bad news.” Uncle Ronny said.

“What’s the bad news, Oldman?” Leo asked curiously.

“Our squad task will be... at the innermost part of Area 51.” uncle Ronny said in a grim expression.

TSK! The cold girl clicks her tongue.

Yeman wanted to ask about the so-called Area 51 and why they suddenly look cynical. But, when Ronny noticed it, he tapped on his nephew’s shoulder to signal him to be quiet and to avoid anyone from knowing he has amnesia.

Later on, uncle Ronny secretly explained about the so-called Area 51, also known as street 51. In this area was last seen, the Ratman Lord. That’s not all, many soldiers lost their lives there. It is the nearest to the monster’s lair which is located inside the tunnel of areas 52 and 53.

Everyone inspected their equipment before leaving. In Eman’s backpack, he spotted cloth for camping, 2 red vials of liquid in the cylindrical clear bottle that was as big as his finger, which he thought were potions. The last thing he found was a ration wrapped in leaves. Maybe these leaves can preserve the food for a longer time. But, he didn’t recognize the leaves.

Yeman wore a light leather cloth, combat boots on his feet, and an arm-guard on his arms. He also wore leather headgear on his head. In hand could be seen a 5meter long spear, and in his hips hung a dagger.

After everything was ready, everyone started to depart.

“TSK,” the cold looking beauty clicked her tongue when she walked past him.

He followed after scratching his head. Deep inside, he was worried about the mission because there was a higher possibility that he would die.

“Ratman Lord huh! This might be what the old man meant last night” he whispered.

Yeman wanted to cry. He was just reincarnated and was about to experience a life and death mission. He never expected this to happen in his whole life, but being sent to a body in the middle of the war is something beyond his expectations. Well, being reincarnated was already way above all expectations, so what else could he expect? He could not just claim now that he was a different persona and not the real Eman. They will think he was crazy and beyond help, and one more thing, he already told uncle Ronny about the amnesia.

“What will happen if... I die again?” He whispered in a worried look before starting to depart with his squad.
