Chapter 2 - The swordless Hero

Chapter 2

"Ugh, My head's cloudy and it hurts"

Louie found himself in the midst of plain and wander in it to find Diane or get some help from someone

As he wanders the plain

He just realized there is something attached in his hands, a rounded shape, some kind of amulet.

He messed with it and something just appeared in front of him. A status window (let's you see your. Stats, abilities, and skills)

He got excited as he sees a tons of skills although it is all locked and he got 6 points of key, a key that let's you unlock a skill.

"Oh my! There's bunch of cool skills"

"Sword skill

Spear skill

dagger skill

Bow skill

Forging skill

Construction skill

And many more

There's even a category for magics

Elemental

Gravity

Spatial....

and when you level up you earn keys to unlock some skill, and gives multiplier to your stats this is like a cheat!"

As he mumble on his own, He didn't realize he trespassed on the den of monsters, until something touched him, he runs so quickly.

"Wtf! I'm gonna die right after i'm resurrected, i'm so pathetic huhuhu"

Louie saw a faint light from the distance, and decided to head there hoping there's human.

Luckily it's a Village

Meanwhile.

The Lord from the empire was informed by the Mage

"My lord, the hero has comeback"

"Is that so? Then tomorrow we will talk about "it" at rendezvous."

.......

Back to Louie Perspective

"Ohhhh, that was exhausting, good thing i feel good and light in this body despite my physique."

"s**t, they won't understand me i need to unlock that skill then"

Unlock Linguistic's skill

Succesfully unlock the skill, linguistic skill is on Level 1.

"Heeeeello, i ne-nneeed your help, peopleee!"

People heard him and decided to help him despite on how he talk. A man name "Ran" defeated the monsters.

Louie has a unique skill that let's him see the status window of other people

"s**t that old man, is strong despite his age, i don't what his skill can do but surely it's gonna be strong and flashy since the name sounds cool"

many from the village gave him a warm welcome and ask him what he's doing in that kind of place

The chief of the village (Datu) did the talk with Louie

"Thank kkkyou for helppp-ping me, i couldn't re-repay it, but i will definite-ly-ly give back the gggg-grratitude"

"This kid is odd one he can't talk with us clearly"

"It's not your fault, little one, it's just that the Heroes' absence 'cause all of this, lately a lot of monsters is spawning, the only way to obliterate them completely is with the hero's power"

(Long ago the world was a peaceful than today, but everything changed when the "Halimaw" appeared)

"You remeber that "halimaw" whose chasing you, that was called chanak, they take the form of a baby, but eats you up the second you let your guard down, none can escape them since they are swift and small and have sharp teeth and claws, only skilled adventurer or heores can defeat them or can escape from them atleast, good thing despite your looks you can run fast than them"

(Halimaw are coming from unusual structure called "Torre" that spawns in the surface out of nowhere, they say it came from hell but no one said what's in there"

"Ye-yeah, wawa-it a sss-second"

"Hee'r-ro? What's a heeer-ro? I'm really sorr-y i kan't undei-rrstand you compe-elletely."

"Yes little one, a Heeeeero a , a summoned one by the great empire, a gift from the Bathalla"

(Bathalla - the deity, of the Lalawigan's world)

"Summoned one? You me-an the-they are s-summoned, the Heroes?"

Linguistic skill Level up to 2.

"Yes, little one."

"Hmmm i can now understand her more than before, b-but will you! quit calling me "little one" like a formal old hag"

"By the way, kid, what are you doing, in a place like that, you do not like a an adventurer to me, where are you from"

Louie ignore what she just said and jump with smile eh?

Louie is thinking out loud

"so im a hero?!!! I am a heroo!! I knew it i am special too, f**k you bullies i'm stronger than you all now"

Louie whispered in his mind with extreme excitement

"without a doubt, i can see status window of others while they can't, i have more stats than them, atleast mire than 1 hehehe"

The datu and the rest laugh hard

"You!? A hero HAHAHAHAH no offense kid but a hero don't appear here after a summon they appear in the kingdom, in summoning circle( pantagram ), and remember that monster whose chasing you? They can kill it without even using their "kampilan", and plus you don't have a kampilan so don't lie."

(Kampilan - a sword bestown by the gods, it is said with enough power and bonding it will reveal it's form given by the heroes)

Louie Told his story on how did he ended up in the parellel world. But no one believes in him.

(Lalawigan - a native name for parallel world Louie ended up in)

".... and I got stabbed in my own world and after that i find myself in this place, i lost my girl, well not really my girl, but i know we love each other, her name is Diane."

"Hey kid your story seems true, but i said it earlier, the summoned one is summoned in kaharian not in a random places, don't decieve us anymore, we will let you stay here for tonight."

(Kaharian - where the lord resides and where's the heroes resides)

Ran whispered to Louie and said

"Hey, come here for a second"

"I think i believe in you, i once was a trainer of Heroes, you see, normally heroes are weak as you, after being summoned, they undergo training to unlock their powers, after that they are dispatch to the overworld."

"It's a secret, kid, i will kill you if you spread what i just said"

"I promise masterr"

"HIHIHIHI , so i can get stronger too?"

"That's why the villagers don't know about it. I believe in you not just because of what you're story, you're cloth is bizarre but i recognized it from the other heroes that was newly summoned and that charm, only hero can use that and posses that."

"So i am hero right 'cause i have this?"

"The only thing that is confusing is what you said, you appeared in the middle of monsters. You must be summoned by the demons and monster iiihk, You need to die here now!"

"Ehhh, imma a summoned of demon?!!"

"just kidding."

"Then please master Teach me your ways"

Louie stares at ran's eyes with sincerity

"I guess i will, but you will have to work for me and for this Village, that would be the payement as you can see we are short on people here."

"It's alright master, i'll do everything to get strong"

As the morning rises Ran starts Louie's training, by making him chores and errands for Ran and for the Villager

"s**t, i need to lift that thing?!"

"f**k, i need to take this bucket of water on the mountain top, for what??!"

Some random villager

"Louie, you look weak weak but your really strong, please help me with this"

"Hey, Louie please do this for me"

"LOUIE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!"

"Louie, have a piece of cake"

At first Louie did complain to his master, but in the end he realizes he is getting stronger just by doing chores. The village became more lively since the help of Louie made a lot of villager saves time and they get close together with Louie

Few days have passed. Now Ran decided to get on next level, because he is now sure that Louie is a hero since his body is improving at a great rate, only heroes can grow in short amount of time.

When Louie is doing Jobs his stats increases but his level is still not gaining, and not only that, his skill Linguistic did level up to five by communicating with others, helping them, treating each other warmly.

His body has grown a little bit

"Master, look at me, i think i've grown, whuuuuuuhuu"

And he decided to add up new skill with his five keys left and pick the elemental skill which can manipulate the four elemental skill fire, water, earth, and wind and cost up to five keys. Since he doesn't have weapon yet.

"s**t, i'm gonna be like that kid who mastered the four elements, what's that show called again, ughm avarrar? Baratar? Baravarar? Nevr mind.

On his next training, he will try to manipulate his magic energy. To release an elemental magic.

"Concentrate Louie, Concentrate on feeling that power"

"Imagine, the imagine of the elements and picture it flowing in to your body and finally releasing it"

"Your doing your breathing wrong, Louie!!! Calm a little, you're breathing too fast"

Ran sees that Louie is struggling, so he come up a way to make it work, his old methods.

"Louie, i'll just go into the woods i need to gather some food for dinner later, practice your magic while waiting"

Ran lured a lost "tikbalang" to Louie, Louie began to sense it, he was so startled because it his first time again encountering a halimaw, Ran appear in front of Louie but refuses to help, he just watch Louie get chased.

Ran gives Tips to Louie

(Tikbalang - a kind of Halimaw that is a bipedal horse, and faster than Chanaks but bigger, hostile to humans)

"Louie, use that fear to release your power, face it, don't run from it, it has high physical power, though it's weak against magic"

"Your don't run from it, it will outrun you, even you're hero, it is still stronger than you"

Louie ignored him as he run from it, he tried to to hook a punch on it, but as Ran said it has a high physical power, it didn't flinch and gave Louie hard kick on stomach, Louie flinched.

"I told ya, that won't work"

"It's coming again, i guess this is your end, Louie"

the Tikbalang is commencing on attacking Louie again, Louie shouted out of fear, before the Tikbalang landed it's kick a mysterious Skill appeared in Louie's mouth a Ray of blinding light that burns everything in it's path

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Skill tree appeared and show a new skill created from elemental fire "Heat Ray"

(Heat ray - a ray of fire that disintegrate anything in it's path depending it's level and costs half of Louie's mp)

pierced through the Tikbalang burning it to death slowly, as the Tikbalang Dies it shouted it's last breath, calling it's kin, now a horde of Tikbalangs are approaching to the Village.

"NGIHIHIHIHIHIHIHOHOHO"

The tikbalang howled it's last breath and decompse followed by a Strong Howl and pressure from a far distance, and it has strong pressure

Louie fainted out of exhaustion

Ran got startled, he knew what about to happen, he then carried the Fainted Louie and rushes back to the Village to make the villagers ready to defend.
