Chapter 9: First Encounter With A Protagonist

Chapter 9: First Encounter With A Protagonist

Sneaking out, Leon strolled across the streets formulating his future plans. Though the world structure was a bit different from novels, it was based on the same template so as long as he searches wholeheartedly, he can find a way.

But there was only one problem.

"This idiot doesn't even know the town properly. Except for the College Campus, home, shopping mall, and bars, he knew shit."

"I wish I had something that could track cheats and gain fortunes."

DING!

[Host had guessed one of his special abilities correctly.]

Leon's mind was suddenly jolted awake as a sudden memory of his with Vesturon got unsealed.

....

"I need a skill to track down or see cheats."

"You want to create a treasure-hunting skill," Vesturon asked again as if asking for confirmation.

"Yeah, so what would I lose this time?"Leon asked wearily.

"Since it's a luck-based skill. You need to exchange it for luck as nothing else can be used for that."

"Before we do that. Clear my doubt. If my luck goes negative, am I gonna die?"Leon asked, drawing a cutthroat sign over his neck.

"No, negative luck doesn't mean death. Luck is something hard to fathom as even people with high luck also suffer. Negative luck or low luck creates trouble for you in each work."

"The only thing you should know is that when a person has higher luck than you, there is a suppressing effect making it harder to do things in the right way. You won't have that effect due to my blessing but still, make sure that your luck doesn't become negative otherwise even with my powers acting as a shield you will be suppressed and gonna act like an idiot that will benefit the other side."

...

Leon came to his senses and checked his special ability.

[Fortune Seeker:On activated, users can exchange luck for any type of treasure or a fortuitous encounter or know about disaster be falling on him according to user will and choice.]

[Restriction:Can be used for two times a day only.]

Leon stared at his luck stat which was hovering at 18 with a rising sign beside it.

"There must be a holy fountain filled with spiritual liquid or some treasure in the mountains or forest nearby but it's too risky."

"Hey, system, how much luck would that take?"

[You need to exchange for 100 luck value]

"Cross it and look for a thing that can unclog my meridian first as well act as an antidote for poison if I have any.]

[10 luck value would be exchanged. Asking for confirmation.]

"Do it."

The moment he said this, Leon felt that something was extracted from his body following which his black eyes glowed with a golden austere.

Leon with his golden eye looked around and soon found a single trail of yellow lines in the air, which seemed to be going somewhere.

"Is it like a GPS? Great!"

Leon immediately looked for a cab and surprisingly, the streets were not empty, rather they were quite bustling.

'It seems cultivation has ruined people's sleeping habits.'Leon commented while stopping a cab.

"I will tell you the directions from my phone, "Leon muttered, pulling out his phone to pretend.

"Holyshit!''

The shop vibes match with cliches that the protagonist finds by chance.

As Leon observed, a trail of words soon hovered around the old man's head.

Name:An Hogan

Realm:Martial Lord

This old man looked like a mix of Asian-America.

"What do you want?"

Leon's eyes darted toward a pot from which a few green leaves sprouted where the golden trail ended.

An Hogan stared at the thing, Leon pointed at and frowned.

"Sorry, not for sale."

"Sir, please I need...."

Before Leon could finish his speech, he was interrupted by a man.

"Boss, I need that thing."

A loud bang echoed, and a boy with an unkempt appearance bulldozed his way to the shop and screamed.

'Who is it?' Leon's heart stirred seeing the man.

Dirty, low-class clothes, and unkempt hair but a pale white handsome face.

His appearance in contrast to his clothes was screaming of that magical identity.

'Fucking hell, isn't this the identity of a protagonist.'

Just then, Leon was suddenly startled by his system beep.

[DING]

[It is detected that the host has come across the protagonist for the first time.]

[Quests generated.]

[Main Quest 1]

[ Kill any one of the protagonists.]

Rewards:A randomly generated reward chosen from the Protagonist.

[Main Quest 2]

[Kill any one of the Destiny villains]

Rewards: The host can choose a function of the Villain system and add it to the system panel.

[Main Quest 3]

[A man who doesn't take revenge isn't a man. The previous host died filled with grievance and his sorrows and obsession had formed a curse. Please avenge the predecessor by taking revenge against the man who snatched and trampled his love.]

[Time Limit: 2 year]

Reward:Accumulated luck and blessings of the previous host.

Penalty: The host would be affected by negative karma that will hinder the host's path of cultivation and give rise to inner demons.

[Host, the last quest isn't given by the system, rather it was due to the influence of the previous owner's will and karma. Since you don't have any intention to seek revenge, the soul of the deceased predecessors will have enacted a curse that would act if you fail to have your revenge within a year.]
