Kapitel 1: Chapter 1: Enter The Game!
Ugh… what the hell? Where am I? Am I in limbo?
I can't feel anything, and I'm pretty sure I died.
Though… I can't seem to remember how.
Every time I try to think hard about what happened, all I get is a blank.
The last thing I remember is driving my car behind a black van before it all goes hazy.
Though, now I realize there's something heading towards me, something akin to a disco ball. It's coming towards me really fast before stopping abruptly a good distance away.
Hello to you fellow soul! You have been selected to participate in our Gamer System™!
I'm sorry what? I must be hallucinating or something. Can you repeat that again?

I said you have been selected to participate in our Gamer System™!
And yes, this is real!
No…
Nonononononono this cannot be.
What the hell happened why can't I feel anything Ineedtogetoutofhere-!

A serene calmness washes over me, making me stop my train of thought.

PROCESSING…! (0/100%)
Oh… That's actually pretty cool and convenient. Thank you. I wonder what skills I will get.
If I remember correctly now from my multiple readings of fanfiction, the Gamer System is one of the most busted abilities I have ever read about. It can do just about anything and everything from what I read.
Even with downgraded versions that I have read, it is still OP in that it makes the user much stronger than those around him/her in what would normally take years or decades worth of training for a regular person mere weeks or even days!
Now that my initial fear is out of my system, I'm ecstatic to see what is going to come next for me!
…
…
…
…
Okay…
…
…
…
…
Is this going to take a while…?
…
…
…
…
I wonder what will be the starting universe I'm going to be thrown into?
I hope it's not Dragon Ball. Even if I want to so desperately tap Bulma's ass and gain access to some amazing technology I know for a fact that the moment Raditz steps into the picture I am as good as done for.
Hopefully not Bleach either since I know jack shit about the series, only knowing that there are some hot chicks in there as well.
Fairy Tail… Kinda iffy on that one. While I know I will enjoy the women there and that there really is no danger so long as I align myself with Fairy Tail, that in itself is the problem.
The power of friendship there is bullshit and so is magic.
The ones I know I would like to go to would be One Piece, Naruto, Fate, My Hero Academia, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
One Piece because awesome devil fruit powers, Naruto because OP Chakra abilities, the Fate series because magic is not as bullshit and awesome historical servants, My Hero Academia because I want to kill Endeavor and Bakugo, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure because Stands are amazing.
Eh, I guess I will see soon enough.
Really? It's only at twenty percent? Even after so long?
Ugh….
…
…
…
…
I wonder if I will get to go to any automotive-centric universes? Something like Need For Speed or Gran Turismo or even Initial D? I love cars so going to any of those universes would be like straight heaven to me.
…
…
…
…
Fly me to the moon~!
Let me be among the stars~!
Let me see what spring is like~!
On Jupiter and Mars~!
…
…
…
…
I wonder if I will ever interact with any other gamers out there? Would be pretty interesti-
Ding!

As they pop up I take a good look at what I am seeing.
Uh… hold the fuck up.
The Horseman of War? Nah no way. That can't be true. How in the fuck would I have such a horrifying ability and not know about it?
This has to be some mistake right?
The Gamer System™ makes no mistakes you fool.
Do you not remember what happened in the final moments of your life?
No. No, I do not.
Well then, allow me to show you.
Fire. That's the first thing that meets my eyes once he says that. The town I am in is nearly done for. I see many savages killing one another, going into other people's houses, taking whatever they want, even women.
There's a black van in front of my house, yes I remember now. My family is getting everything together to get out of the town. I was in my own car on standby just in case anything happened.
Once everything is all said and done, we leave our stripped home and head inland, since it's much better over there, and thankfully I was able to pull some strings to get a nice chunk of land over at our destination, where my family can be safe.
But then, once at the highway, there were a group of savages like those in town that were blocking people from leaving the place.
They tried to break into the van, where my mother and my sisters were in.
I watch as I see myself get out of my own car with a gun in my hands, shooting at the bastards trying to get to my family.
With that small reprieve, my brother was able to drive the van away while I tried to head back to my car.
And then I was shot behind the head.
It's surreal. Watching yourself get shot from the back of the head.
As it cuts to black, I suddenly see past me sitting in a chair with a table in front of him. He looks around confused before a man in a suit appears out of nowhere.
"Well hello there. I have been expecting you." the man states as a chair is summoned behind him as he goes to take a seat.
"Where am I?" I see my past self question the man in front of me.
"Where you are shouldn't be of any concern to you at the moment, but rather what I can do for you." The man cuts to the chase.
"What do you mean?" my past self inquires.
"C'mon, you are not a fool to not know who I am." The man replies, his eyes glowing red as if to emphasize his point.
"Satan." my past self says in realization.
"Bingo. Now I have an offer here that I know you cannot refuse." Satan states confidently.
"Now how are you so sure about that?" I see my past self question incredulously.
Satan then looks away from past me and stares right at me "Call it a hunch."
He then looks right back at past me to continue. "You do realize that you left your family in quite the predicament when you got yourself killed don't you?"
"That may be but I have a firm belief that God will protect them." My past self states.
The devil lets out a mirthless chuckle. "You say that, but you know more than they do that God… does not work that way anymore." He smirks, watching my past self intently for any signs of weakness.
And weakness he saw.
Throughout the whole ordeal, I watch as he plays me like a fiddle. For what seemed like hours, the fallen angel tearing down whatever faith I had and showing me things I didn't want to see happen to my family.
By the end of it, my past self was furious and in tears. Satan laid down a piece of paper and a pen that my past self took in anger and signed it.
"Thank you for your cooperation. It will be only temporary, and whether you die or not while using the power is up to you. After all, it's only temporary." His smile grew unnaturally. "Give them a taste of what is to come."
Soon the scene shifts back to my dead body just as it hits the ground, and sure enough the horde charges towards my defenseless family. As soon as one of them gets close enough to my past self he grabs him by the ankle and shoots him in the face.
When he gets up, I notice that the wound behind his head is closing rapidly before turning around to face the horde of savages who pause in what I know is fear.
Fear of the unknown.
I see the eyes and wound of my past self glow a mesmerizing orange as he stares down those who dared cause pain to my family before he begins to unload his gun on the crowd.
"Drive brother! DRIVE!" he roars out to my younger brother, who breaks out of his stupor before wordlessly nodding and driving him and the others away to my family.
Many try to run away, and many more rush at him screeching like howler monkeys with makeshift weapons in order to put my past self down.
In the end, I do go down, but it wasn't even them that took me down. Not even the large semi that was driving straight at me before my past self dodged by a hair.
No, the thing that got me isekai'd to this place was a helicopter. A fucking helicopter! The freaking thing just exploded in mid-air and one of the rotors went straight to my torso before the rest of the copter followed suit and crushed me to death.
While that might explain how I died and how I gained access to that power, what I still want to know is why do I still have it? The Devil said I was only going to have it temporarily, so why is it appearing in my skill list?
You think we would be stopped from doing so by the likes of him!? You underestimate the power of the Gamer System™!
Well okay then… Don't know where to go from here.
Well, we can start by continuing where we left off!
Suddenly a stat sheet is thrown out in front of me to see.
Faust, The Gamer, Lv. 1

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
HP: 230/230 [4 every 5 Seconds]

LCK: 3
MP Regen = WIS X 2

SP/HP Regen = END X 2
HP = END X 10
SP = END X 10
Okay, this is different. Usually from what I read, most gamers tend to start off with all of their base values at 10. Not that I'm complaining mind you, just an observation.
Hmm… from the looks of things it kinda looks like I am something of a tank build since my endurance is the highest of my physical stats while speed is my lowest.
Did I really have such bad luck though? That is some bullshit right there. Hopefully, there are ways to improve upon that when all is said and done.
Also, why is my magic locked?
You cannot use magic until you unlock it yourself or have a class that primarily uses magic. There are many ways to unlock it in each and every world so there's no need to worry about it!
Anyhow, one can't be a gamer without some very key features as well!

On that note, I think it's time to stop dilly-dallying and get this started don't you think?
Welcome to The Gamer System™!
Your Starter World has been pre-selected!

As it hits one, my vision is thrown for a trip of the ages! It's swirling so much. Oh if I had a body right now, I know for a fact I would puke! Oh Lord Jesus have mercy on my soul how long is this going to last!? I want off this ride! Pleeeeaaaa-kawdhgkjwdbnaskj!
-5 HP!
Ow… my face. Getting up, I clean the grime off of my face and take a look around my surroundings to see if I can find anything that will let me know which world the game has sent me off to.
…
Nope. no landmarks that I can see or recognize. All I see is a lot of trees surrounding my vision. Well shit. And I can't even see a road near me either.
Ugh… so no readily available shelter, no signs of civilization near me, and I don't even know which world I got sent to.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
Well, no use crying over spilled milk. Hopefully, if I wander around long enough, I'll find something.
Wait a minute, before I do, uh game are you there? Hello? If you can hear me and answer a couple of questions of mine I would really appreciate it.
"Well… you're actually one of the actual few, and by few trust me, I mean few, who actually tried to communicate with me almost from the get-go. Even less are polite about it from the start. I think you deserve a reward!"
Ping!
INT (14) → (18)
WIS (10) → (14)
You have been rewarded with:
[Uncommon Loot Crate *3!]
A green crate filled with a random item from a random world that is of the uncommon variety.
Crates are tiered by the rarity of the items they can potentially hold: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, Ultimate, and Divine.
And among their rarity, they are tiered by their usefulness: F, E, D, C, B, A, S(1-3), and X.
`
Oh hey! Stat increases and rewards~! I am loving it already~!
I mean, I know not to bite the hand that feeds me and you haven't really done anything malicious that I know of so why wouldn't I be courteous to you?
Increased Reputation with The Game! 5/100 (+5 For proving to be a promising one… So far…)
Well isn't that ominous. Thank you for the crates though. You wouldn't mind me opening them now and then asking my questions now, would you?
Questions first. Fun stuff later.
Fine by me. First off, what's the name of this place?
"Ah, that would be telling young man. I am generous, but not THAT generous."
Okay… for my second question, how strong are the average people in these parts?
"The civilians' stats range between 1-15 for each of them except for luck which is random for everybody. For low-level bandits, they have a wider range of 10-30 with luck being random once more."
I appreciate that piece of information. Now for my third and final question, I would like to know if there are dungeons or something similar along those lines here in this world?
Yes, there are! Like with the crates, dungeons are ranked exactly like them from Common to Divine and their difficulty from F to X.
For example, entering Zeno's Palace to kill The Omni-King Zeno would be the equivalent of a Divine X-Tiered Dungeon while something like an African Warlord's base would be a Common B-Tiered Dungeon.
That's good to know. Can you do dungeons multiple times?
Depends on both the Rarity and Difficulty. The higher on the spectrum it is, the fewer times you have on doing them again.
Thank you for that. Now to see what these boxes have in store for me.
Would you like to open 3 Uncommon Loot Crates?
Yes, please!
Ping!
You have obtained the following:
[Arthur's Gambler Hat - Uncommon, S-Rank]
The hat of a man wanting to atone for the sins he has done by giving those he cares about a life that he will never have. When worn, adds 50 LCK and 20 CHA.
Durability: 700/700
[Smoke Stack Proposition - Uncommon, A-Rank]
A mix of classic and modern, this triple-barreled machine gun has a walnut stock. Oversized and extremely heavy, it is savagely powerful in the right hands. {Warning!} If STR is not above 40, it will cause a 2% DEX reduction for every point under the recommended STR.
Damage: 350 HP per bullet
Ammo Capacity: 300 Rounds per magazine
Rate of Fire: 13 Rounds per second
Reload Speed: 5 Seconds
Durability: 800/800
[Titanium Vest - Uncommon, C-Rank]
A black double lapel dress vest with multiple titanium plates in between the cloth. Inconspicuous and stylish. Reduces damage received by low caliber weapons .35 and below by 90% and .36 rounds and above by 70%. Comes with a free stylish dress shirt.
Durability: 250/250
My eyes widen a lot when I look at the gear that has been given to me. This is some good starter gear from what I can see. I almost fangirled when I saw Arthur's iconic hat in my possession. And it gives me 50 LCK and 20 CHA too! My smile can't get any bigger when I put it on and I see my LCK stat grow immensely.
LCK (3) → (53)
CHA (12) → (32)
Going along with the western theme I put on the dark green dress shirt in front of me before strapping on the vest.
I feel safer with this on me already.
Though, I will need to get a matching pair of pants and boots since I kinda look ridiculous wearing these starter brown pants and dirty boots.
When I grab the machine gun, I immediately realize that this is going to be a bigger problem than expected until I reach that 40 STR.
I can feel that DEX reduction already. In fact, judging by my calculations, since I lose two percent per point of STR below the recommended, I am at a forty-four percent reduction to my DEX which means that I am just a tiny bit over 5 DEX.
And just like that, my mood soured. I put it in my inventory just so I can have my 4 points of DEX back.
I don't want to be fucking slow. I always loved speedy characters because of how fast they are and seeing my already pitiful DEX stat get even smaller is just upsetting.
Though, I do remember I got a horse awaiting my command. So how do I call him or her to my side?
Let's see if a whistle will work. No? Okay then let's see, uh… Horse come to me!
I am met with a pillar of fire erupting in front of me. And one of the most majestic looking horses appears in front of me. Fur that is a nice burgundy with a mane and tail that is like a continuous stream of fire.
And that's not mentioning how fucking big he is! He looks like he can carry a small family on his back with ease!
And his stats…
Horse of War
Gender: Male
Affection: 10
Thoughts about you: Curiosity
HP: 2300 [76 Per 5 Seconds]
SP: 2300 [76 Per 5 Seconds]
STR: 180
END: 230
DEX: 90
Would you like to name your horse?
Yes Please! "Okay then uh how about Valentino?" I ask my horse.
The horse shakes his head and groans.
Okay, so that one is a no-go. Let's see… Something good and that fits with you…
"How about Guerra?" I ask again, hoping for a better response.
Increased Affection with Guerra 20/100 (+10 for giving him a good name.)
The horse excitedly nods his head and snorts in agreement.
Your horse's name is now: Guerra
Are you sure?
Yes. And now that that is out of the picture, let's get out there exploring bud!
Guerra seems as excited as I am since he's blowing a lot of air from his nostrils and begins to tap on the floor rapidly. He grabs me by the back of my vest and flings me on his back.
Well, that's one way to get on my horse.
"Nevermind that though, let's go through this forest and see what awaits us!" I proclaim as my horse begins to gallop in high speeds through the wilderness in the forest.
As Guerra gallops, I survey my surroundings for anything that seems like civilization.
To my relief, once I got out to a clearing, I see smoke rising in the distance from the cliff I am now on.
Quest Added
[A Taste of Power]
Objective: Kill the bandits in their camp. (0/20)
Reward: Information, 5,000 gold, Common Loot Crate, and the spoils of the camp.
Bonus Objective : Kill all of them within 3 Minutes.
Hidden Objective 1: ?
Hidden Objective 2: ?
Oh okay, I see how this is. Well better get it over with! "To the camp!" I tell Guerra who chuffs and jumps off the cliff. "Wait wait wait!" I feel my heart stop for a quick moment before seeing my horse gallop down the steep cliff without hesitance.
As he gallops down the cliff, an idea hits me. While the machine gun penalizes my DEX due to not having high enough STR, that isn't the case with Guerra since he has my stats times ten.
Pulling it out of my inventory, I steadily hoist Proposition to my side. "Run down as all those you see! I'll handle those that survive!" I tell Guerra, who neighs in excitement, increasing his speed to newfound levels.
Guerra is {Extremely Motivated!}. All physical stats are boosted by 25%!
"Oh ho ho ho ho! Now that's what I'm talking about!" I roar out, the grin in my face threatening to split my face. As the camp of bandits becomes visible, I don't even hesitate to shoot those away from Guerra's trajectory.

"Stop right there you bastard!" And there we go. Turning around, I see a bandit coming out of a shack that I didn't notice was there before holding a naked woman hostage while he points a gun at me.
Poor lady… she's been abused a lot from what I can see, and are the Achilles tendons cut? [Observe].

Ok so this guy is the leader, and I can't believe I missed that shack between those trees.
"Alright you son of a bitch, this is how it's going to go down, you are going to drop your weapon, or this bitch gets it!" The bandit leader exclaims as he aims the gun at the lady's temple.
Alright, it looks like I'm in a bit of a pickle here. While I know for a fact that I am much stronger than this prick and faster, until I know my limits, I don't want to risk the woman's life in doing something stupid.
"Alright, you made your point. Just let the girl go." I state, slowly crouching down and setting Proposition down. To the corner in my vision, I see a black sharp rock that looks like obsidian. [Observe]!
Obsidian Rock
Igneous rock occurring as a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava from volcanoes. It can be used for crafting.
Bingo.
Finally setting Proposition down, I swiftly and discreetly grab the rock and tuck it into my sleeve before slowly getting back up.
"Alright, Now I'm going to walk away, and you are going to stay there while I take this lady with me." He states, his eyes having a wild glint in them as he walks backward while holding the girl hostage.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that." I state as I lower my hands to my side, calculating the trajectory so I can hit him with the rock.
"HEY HEY HEY! If you do anything, this bitch will get it!" he exclaims as he puts pressure on the lady's temple with the gun's barrel.
"Guerra!" I call out, and bursting through a tree near the man, my horse rears and towers over the bandit leader. The bandit leader screams in fear as he looks away from me and points the gun at Guerra.
My time to shine.
I throw the rock with great accuracy, hitting the intended target being the dumbass' wrist. The rock broke through the sound barrier and basically blew off the man's hand.
Okay, that's something I didn't intend to do, but hey, can't argue with the results.
He screams in agony, letting the poor woman go. I sprint towards her as I see Guerra about to trample the man into mush, grabbing her before she becomes an unintended casualty.
After grabbing her and ignoring the 25 EXP and stat boosts I got from Guerra crushing the bandit leader, I take a careful look at her. She reeks of cum and blood. Her amber hair is disheveled, her eyes sunken after crying so much, all the cuts and bruises that mar her body, the lack of clothing leaving nothing hidden to my eyes.
She's so pitiful… I need to get her somewhere safe. I put on a gentle smile and look at her kindly. "No worries. You are safe now. No more bandits are left." I reassure her.
"The others… they are in the shack…" she hoarsely speaks, lightly gripping onto my vest.
I give her hand a reassuring squeeze. "I'll help them as well. Just leave it to me-."
Ping!

Detect Bloodlust (Passive) Lv.1/50
When someone wishes to harm you, you will know. It can detect within 10 meters and they must be obvious of their intent at this level.
Shit, someone's that close by. I whirl around and check my surroundings to see where the enemy is-
A katana is inches away from my face before I kick off the ground and get some distance from my enemy. In front of me is a short man with black hair worn in a top ponytail with his clothing resembling that of a samurai. Despite just trying to cut my face moment's ago, he has an easygoing expression on his face; a twig in between his smug lazy smile. [Observe]!

Shit, this is bad… is what I would say if I didn't have Guerra! Since his physical stats are basically mine times ten, then I have the means to overwhelm this Samurai Jack rip off.
"Oh? I knew you would be wonderful prey. I mean, after all, I was only able to kill one before you took the rest away from me to quench Kousetsu's thirst." The man proclaims as he holds his blade steadily as I gently drop the lady behind me while Guerra stays by my side. "I, Izou, will see to it that you satisfy Kousetsu! She is quite thirsty you know?"
"Guerra, distract him until I get my gun back, then come for me. Don't use your full power. Give him false hope." I state, with Guerra nodding in acknowledgment as flames erupt from his mane and tail, rushing towards the swordsman who calls himself Izou.
Using this short window of opportunity, I sprint towards my gun and reach it just as Izou strike's Guerra at the neck before my companion retaliates by shoulder-checking him with a headbutt.
699 Damage! HP: 6661/7360
I can see and hear Izou grunting in pain as he is thrown a good distance away from us, probably not expecting Guerra to be so powerful.
"I see… So you are a Teigu User huh? I, Izou, have never heard of a Teigu like this one here." Izou states, spitting out the twig in his out, rolling his injured shoulder a bit just as Guerra comes to my side and I jump onto his back. "However, with such capabilities, Kousetsu will be even more pleased when she drinks your blood!" He exclaims in joy as his eyelids open, revealing red eyes with black sclera.
Detect Bloodlust has leveled up!
Wait a minute…
Teigu?
As in… Teigus from Akame Ga Kill?
Well, that answers that question. No time to dwell on it though, looks like Izou is back on us again.
He jumps in the air with his sword in its sheath ready to be drawn. It looks like the Iaido form of Swordsmanship, so he's probably building up some power in his blade or some shit like that while he's doing that.
Let's see if he's fast enough to dodge automatic fire!
I fire Proposition at him while he's in mid-air, and while sure he's deflecting or dodging almost all of them, three bullets did hit him which is more than enough for me.
350 Damage! HP: 6311/7360
350 Damage! HP: 5961/7360
CRITICAL HIT! 700 Damage! HP: 5261/7360
Izou is {Crippled}! Due to getting shot directly on his kneecap, he has lost mobility of his left leg! DEX reduced by 50%!
Even with him losing over two thousand hit points, he still doesn't let up since he roars and pulls out his blade to strike me.
Even so, before he can even get that blade even close to me, "Guerra! Full power now!" Guerra weaves around the attack with unexpecting speeds and swings his head like a pendulum and collides it towards Izou's exposed ribcage.
CRITICAL HIT! 2755 Damage! HP: 3206/7360
Izou has {Severe Internal Bleeding}! Fragments of his ribcage have punctured his lungs and grazed his heart, causing him to lose 50 HP per second!
Izou is sent flying like a ragdoll as his body skips across the ground before skidding to a stop once he hits a tree a couple hundred meters away.
Even from here, I can see that the man is greatly struggling to get up, using his blade as support while his left leg is completely useless, and all the more he is coughing and hacking globs of blood, swaying side to side as he tries to regain his balance.
As Guerra slowly trots towards the dying ronin in front of us, I can't help but feel proud of my companion here. Apparently he's been by my side since before I began my life as a Gamer, and even then when I first brought him out, he already had some form of affection for me.
While I'm normally terrified of horses, I think Guerra is my rare exception in life.
"Guerra, when this is all said and done I am treating you to all the mares you want and an all-you-can-eat buffet!" I tell my companion, really proud of carrying me throughout the battle since I know for a fact I would have been already dead if not for him.
Increased Affection with Guerra 40/100 (+20 for giving him the best rewards.)
Without wasting any time, Guerra blitzes towards the dying ronin who seems to be putting up one last attempt to take me down.
"You coward…! To hide behind your Teigu like that…! You are Pathetic…! " Izou calls out hoarsely as he aims a stab straight into Guerra's chest, but Guerra rears up and smacks the blade out of his hands before bringing down his hooves onto Izou's head.

Heh…
Heheheheheh…
Of all the places I get thrown into, it has to be the world of Akame Ga Kill. I only watched the anime and I know that the anime diverges from the manga, and even then I don't remember much- wait a minute.
It's…
It's all coming together…
Is.. this a perk of high INT or WIS? I'm pretty sure this a perk for either of those two or maybe both?
I remember Tatsumi. How he went to the Empire along with his friends Sayo and Ieyasu to make money for their village. How Aria and her family killed Tatsumi's friends and many others before them. How Tatsumi joined Night Raid, a group of assassins each of them with Teigus serving under the Revolutionary Army in order to take down Prime Minister Honest and in turn The Empire.
Akame: The silent aloof assassin with the cursed blade Murasame.
Leone: The sexy blonde bombshell with the teigu Lionelle.
Bulat: The gay man with the pompadour and the original owner of the armor teigu Incursio.
Sheele: The clumsy ditz with the scissor blades teigu Extase.
Mine: The petite pink-haired tsundere sniper with Najenda's original teigu Pumpkin.
Lubbock: The fellow pervert with the versatile teigu Cross Tail.
Chelsea: The girl who can hide in plain sight with her teigu Gaea Foundation.
Najenda: The leader of the group, with the badass biological teigu Susanoo.
If I want to have a guaranteed chance of survival in this world, then looking for Night Raid would be my best bet.
But…
I'm not going to do that.
I have the chance to fuck canon over like how this empire fucks over its citizens and I am NOT going to let that go to waste!
I am going to build my own group. Find people with talent and get them to be stronger than ever! Turning around, I look at the woman named Jennis, currently covering herself with a blanket as she is kneeling near the barracks looking terrified.
Hmm… after killing all those bandits and the wandering ronin Izou brutally, I have no doubt that she is more than wary at the sight of me, even if I haven't done anything to her so far.
Getting off Guerra, I walk in a calming manner towards her as Guerra slowly trots by my side. I take Arthur's hat off of my head and place it over my chest, letting her get a good look at my face. "I think it's time to get you and those other girls somewhere cleaner than this dump." I state as I place Arthur's hat over her head before picking her up and placing her on top of Guerra. "Don't worry. I'll keep all of you safe." I assure her, placing the best genuine smile I can muster.
I enter the shack, seeing four girls all huddled up together in fear as they begin to tremble when they see me get in. "As I said to the lady outside, you all are safe now. I'm going to take you all to a doctor." I assure them politely as they look at each other hesitantly before putting on whatever rags that can be called clothes before they too cover themselves with blankets.
I gently nudge them out of the shack and they find themselves surprised by the size of Guerra. If even people in the world where Danger Beasts exist get surprised by the size of my horse, then I can't even imagine going to a place where there are only regular-sized animals.
After picking each of them up and setting them on Guerra's massive frame, I take a look at the camp and see that it is relatively unscathed if one ignores all the dead bodies lying around.
Well… time to plunder.
