Chapter 54: The Main Character
What is the sun? It's in the sky, appearing every morning, shining light upon the world.
The sun is the same as the moon; it's the initial place where time and space collided back when the world was made.
While the full moon appears when energy is out of order, the sun continuously emits energy, but not the pure energy mages use. It provides the energy necessary for the growth of plants.
Like the moon, the sun also only exists in the mage world.
The mage world is the main world. One cannot go from heaven to hell without passing through the mage world.
Unlike heaven and hell, which have fixed sizes, the mage world always expands. It will eventually be far larger than heaven and hell combined.
...
"Young master, please be careful," said Rufus, a servant who followed Alfred.
"Shut up!" said Alfred, who continued climbing a big tree.
Rufus was worried that the young master would hurt himself.
As Alfred was climbing, Allen arrived and shouted, "Come here!"
Alfred looked down and said, "Who are you?"
"I'm the main character who will slap you to death!" he said confidently.
"Don't be so obvious, damn it!" said Rachel, trying to hide as much as possible.
Allen was a 'main character.'
This is the term Rachel came up with. For some reason, the first-born children of all her hosts get a system and are transmigrators like her.
She found this out a while ago.
So, she planned and gave one of her incarnations to one of these 'main characters.'
And she is impressed!
Allen really looks like a main character! The luck around him is calm but may only be concealed because of her 'hidden in the mage world' ability.
As Rachel has observed so far, his luck is like the main characters in the novels.
She has encountered similar situations before.
For example, she once encountered a strange situation in hell while Zagronan was fighting someone.
Zagronan was trying to kill some demon, and suddenly, a higher rank appeared. As he tried to kill the higher-ranking demon, another even higher rank appeared.
At that time, she felt a lot of disturbance in the river of time.
"Does this world have main characters?" she asked herself.
She already set up many preparations to research this.
She relied heavily on her main body's 'limited modification' vision to conduct the research.
The vision can see a lot of things.
She noticed the system of the children of her hosts in this way.
But strangely, most of them had nowhere near Allen's luck.
"Luck doesn't seem to be related to the system. Children of my hosts get a system, but what about luck?" she thought.
A shout disturned her train of thought.
"You What?" shouted Alfred, dumbfounded by Allen's answer.
"The main character! The person who will eventually reach the top and conquer everything!" Allen looked at Alfred as if he were an idiot.
"Hahaha! You are even crazier than me! Hey, come and take him, then throw him in jail! Also, bring his sister; I want him to watch what I do to her," Alfred ordered Rufus, who was also his bodyguard.
Alfred took one of Allen's many sisters. Because he was the son of the Baron, the police didn't dare to arrest him.
Now, he was getting 'revenge'.
This was the backstory Rachel wanted Allen to have.
When he was born, Rachel poison-pilled his mother and arranged for Zag to steal him while disguising himself.
Eventually, Allen was placed in an orphanage with Rachel close to him, observing.
Just a while ago, his system 'activated'.
Rachel had no idea why the system took so long to activate.
The systems she observed until now were all activated from birth.
In this short time, he already reached rank 1 with the help of the system.
As for his sister, she was one of many who lived in an orphanage.
In this country, it's a tradition that children in orphanages are considered brothers and sisters. This is regarded as a positive tradition that can provide support in the absence of parents.
Allen smiled confidently and kicked the tree! The whole tree broke in one kick.
It was a big tree, but it was helpless in the face of a rank 1 being.
Alfred, climbing a tree in the middle of the castle for some inexplicable reason, crashed to the ground!
"Young master!" Rufus screamed and ran to Alfred's side.
Slap!
But before he could reach Alfred, Allen slapped him!
"+355 Rank 0 Slap Points!" the system sounded.
His system was the 'Face Slap' system. The more he slaps people in the face, the more points he can earn.
These points translated directly into strength.
In the last few weeks, he had slapped many beggars and unfortunate people and reached rank 1 two days ago.
He was not a rank 1 knight. Not a rank 1 mage either.
His path was weird and unconventional, just strengthening the body to the point it broke through, all with the brute force of the system.
Rufus was thrown far away, with all of his teeth shattered.
But Allen was not done. He ran to him and continued slapping.
"+190 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
"+98 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
"+55 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
"+21 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
"+0 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
When the points reached 0, he stopped.
Rufus's face was unrecognizable, and whether he survived was unknown.
Alfred, who saw all of this, felt terrified.
He was very drunk, but he became sober from fear when he saw this.
Before he could run away, Allen caught him and started slapping him.
"+5510 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
"+2100 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
"+677 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
"+97 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
"+0 Rank 0 Slap Points!"
Slapping 'young masters' would bring far more points.
Alfred became, like Rufus, unrecognizable.
"Now, the next part," Allen smiled.
There are a lot more people waiting to be slapped.
He added all the points to his physical strength.
"12,112 points added to physical strength," the system responded.
Immediately, he felt stronger.
"I feel stronger than before! At this rate, I will not take long to conquer the world!" Allen thought.
Rachel was impressed! The system was really powerful! Maybe too powerful!
...
The next day, the Baron sent several knights.
"Come out, Alfred!" the boss of the knights shouted.
"Look at these idiots! Can't you break the door?" shouted Allen, speechless.
The knight in charge was unwilling to break the door, as he would be responsible for replacing it.
Chain owned by a duke owned the building, so it's not like they can get away with it.
Allen sighed and got out voluntarily.
Then...
Slap!
After 10 seconds, all the knights were slapped into an unrecognizable state.
Allen added all the points to his physical strength and again felt the surging strength.
"This is too strong! My system is nowhere near this!" thought Rachel, who was envious.
...
A month later, the whole city was slapped by Allen.
He sat on a rock, looking at the sky.
"I'm the strongest!"
He punched the ground, and the radius of one kilometer shook.
"No, you're as strong as a rank 2 knight, which is incredible, considering you were a normal human two months ago, but far from invincible," Rachel said.
"Then, where are these mages you talk about?" asked Allen.
"I have no idea, but you have to get ready. Go and slap the entire continent to death, and hopefully, you can reach rank 7."
"Also, restrain yourself. Don't kill people. If they stay alive, you can create a 'slap farm.'"
Rachel invented a new term, and Allen nodded.
He also noticed that he would soon run out if he slapped everyone to death.
...
Allen did as Rachel said, but even after slapping everyone in the continent to death, he only managed to reach rank 4.
"Why is it so slow? Even after three months, I am only rank 4," he complained.
Rachel was left speechless by his ungratefulness.
"Where you are is not a continent but an island. Continents are far larger than this," she explained.
"Island? Girl, this is far larger than the entire earth!" he said.
He was originally from the earth.
"I'm going to arrange for you to go to a continent," Rachel stated.
"You?" Allen asked, surprised.
Then, a man with red clothes arrived. His pupils were light yellow, and he had a strange smile. A woman with long hair who was quite tall was also beside him.
"She is very hot," thought Allen.
"This is Zag, who will take you to a continent," Rachel said.
"How do you know him?" Allen asked suspiciously.
"They are NPCs I summoned. Don't worry about them."
Zagronan didn't speak; he took Allen and flew.
...
Rachel No. 1 was observing Allen through 'limited modification.'
"So much luck! Why is there so much luck concentrated on him? And the system... I feel like it's feeding on his luck, only turning some of it into strength and giving it back to him!" thought Rachel.
She was examining the system's codes.
"What is it? I feel like I can modify everything, but this system... I feel like it's exactly like my own system, unmodifiable. Do they really have the same origin? He was born by one of my hosts, so does his system come from my system?" She was pondering.
His luck was absolutely enormous, the most she had ever seen, but it was all hidden by her skill.
"Let's see what happens!" she thought.
...
Soon, they reached a continent. Zag dropped him somewhere and left.
From the moment Allen arrived, he began his path, slapping his way to the top.
From city to city, country to country, after one year, hundreds of countries were slapped to the ground by him. His efficiency of work was also increasing as he got stronger.
"He has already reached rank 5, but his luck is depleting rapidly!" Rachel thought.
The continent was vast, so this was not even a small part. With Rachel's persuasion, Allen continued, and after 5 years, he finally reached rank 6.
Rachel No. 206 also got promoted with him to rank 6.
"His luck is completely exhausted," Rachel was very disappointed.
Allen continued his slapping spree, but after his luck was exhausted, the system's points became much less, almost minuscule.
"Why did the damn system become so stingy? Rachel?" Allen asked.
"Now that you're strong, slapping these people only gives you a few points," Rachel made up an explanation.
Allen shook his head.
The explanation didn't make sense.
"Hey, I have a pill that can help with it," said Rachel.
He had already taken many pills from Rachel, so he nodded and ate the pill, which looked very enticing.
Then, he melted! He died by a poisoned pill!
Even if you want to look at it from a moral perspective, Allen had killed countless harmless people for nothing but 'slap points,' so nobody felt bad about his death.
For Rachel, killing hosts was uncomfortable, but she had no choice.
Over the years, Allen had become increasingly suspicious, with system points and the increase of his strength being the only things distracting him.
He would have soon gotten frustrated and out of control with no system points coming.
Zagronan arrived, picked up Rachel No. 206, and disappeared.
