What? Son of the world? Hero system? The voice that suddenly appeared in Arata's mind stunned him a little bit but after he came out of his stupor he was surprised.
Although Arata had a weak power, he had learned a sword technique, but his skill was only average. Obviously not enough for him to survive in this dangerous world.
Now that his own personal cheat suddenly appeared in the form of a system he shouldn't have much of a problem surviving in this world
"System?" He called out.
But when Arata waited for the system to respond the so-called "Hero System" did not respond at all which made Arata want to curse.
What kind of inferior product was this system? There wasn't any kind of prompt and nor were there any kind of instructions on how to use it either, how was he supposed to access it?
[*Ding*, The Hero System has been activated, please complete the initial task first, and officially start the system functions.]
[Initial mission: Help the "Son of the World" Saitama defeat the Crab Monster, and help him lay the foundation for his future heroic road.]
After waiting for a long time, the system finally responded again. The responding speed was so slow that Arata questioned if he had received a faulty system instead.
But no matter what, Arata decided to perform the task given by the system. No matter how shitty the system was, It was better than the weak power he had.
"Help Saitama defeat the Crab Monster?"
After that, Arata looked through the content of the mission with an afterthought and then looked at the man wearing a suit who was being beaten by the crab monster in front of him.
'By the way, It also said [Son of the World] just now. The [Son of the World] in One Punch World could only be Saitama' He thought.
But... Saitama in front of him had such thick hair and he was being beaten black and blue.
"Sure enough, Saitama was only strong when he was bald. The bald Saitama was strong as hell but the Saitama with hair couldn't even be compared to his anime counterpart." He murmured
'Crab monster, A Tiger-level monster, but its strength was only at the peak of Wolf-level, A human that mutated due to excessive consumption of crabs.' He thought while looking at the monster. He still found this world pretty weird. Overconsumption of some food could turn you into a monster. What kind of idiocy was this?
The rating of Monsters was determined by the "Heroes Association" that was recently established to deal with such monsters.
There were five danger levels in total.
Wolf - They were dangerous factors that posed a certain threat to human life and safety, and had a certain lethality.
Tiger- A crisis causing large-scale casualties. It was not something an unarmed ordinary person could deal with, and it could destroy hard objects such as hardened cement easily.
Demon- A crisis that may lead to the suspension or destruction of a city
Dragon- A crisis that may lead to the destruction of several cities.
God- A crisis that may lead to the destruction of mankind.
And the Crab monster in front of Arata was a "Tiger-level" Monster, but he only had "Tiger-level" defense, His destructive power was only at "Wolf-level", but it was still not something ordinary humans could deal with.
Just like Saitama, who was still an ordinary human at this time, he had already been beaten to the point of vomiting blood.
Arata didn't hesitate any more and drew his sword forward to block the crab claws that were about to swing towards Saitama.
Because of his weak superpowers, he could probably only blow some small windmills, so Arata learned some swordsmanship in various gyms during his early years. The long sword in his hand was also made of some rare alloys for an expensive price.
Arata thought that his strength should be enough to deal with three or five burly men and it shouldn't have been difficult to kill a Monster who only had "Wolf-level" destructive power.
But when he countered the crab claws with his sword, he realized how wrong he was.
A huge force pushed back Arata's sword to his shoulders, and his knees were also pressured causing his knees to bend. Although he had exercised, his physical prowess was still at the level of an ordinary human, Which couldn't be compared to that of Monsters.
"There is another guy that wants to die. It seems that you are not an ordinary human. Are you a hero who has joined the recently established [Heroes Association], then what are you? A so-called B-rank hero? Or A-rank?" The Monster ridiculed Arata.
Arata seemed to remember that the Association of Heroes was actually built due to a kid with a butt-chin. It was established after he was rescued by Saitama.
The shameless butt-chin kid was also the son of the director of the Heroes Association.
But probably in this world, The monsters came out and wreaked havoc earlier, so the "Heroes Association" was established earlier than the original.
The Crab Monster smiled and looked away from Arata, obviously not paying attention to him.
Except for Monsters, As long as the heroes were registered in the [Heroes Association], they were also assigned certain ranks.
The headquarters would also dispatch the corresponding heroes based on the intensity of the energy generated when a Monster appears.
The heroes were divided into four ranks from high to low: S, A, B, and C. However, since the [Heroes Association] had just been established, the number of "S" ranked heroes at this time was far less.
The ranks of heroes were determined and judged by related personnel, A Hero could also increase their rank by defeating more monsters.
And the level of the Crab Monster was "Tiger level". In theory, to deal with this level of monster, at least a B-ranked hero or a weak A-ranked hero was needed.
As for C-rank heroes, in fact, most of them were just a few times stronger than ordinary people.
Arata did not answer the question of the Crab Monster but kept resisting the attack he was facing. Although the crab freak looked weird, The strength of it's "Crab fist" was fast and heavy.
Arata wasn't a "Hero" at all. If it weren't for the mission issued by the System and the unexpected rewards, he would've turned his head away and left without paying attention to the scene.
What good was there to live as a "Hero" in a world that had such a high mortality rate?
After defending against the Crab Monster for a while, Arata finally found a flaw in the Crab Monster's form and slashed his sword at him creating a top-down scar on his upper body.
Because Arata's weapons were made of expensive alloys, it was not too difficult to break through the defense of the Crab Monster.
"It hurts so much, You bastard! I have decided to kill you first and then get rid of the butt-chin kid who made nipples on my chest."
It seems that because he was seriously injured, the Crab Monster's hatred for Arata rose instantly and he even changed the order of killing he had decided before.
The Crab Monster before this seemed to have been teasing Arata with the classic "Cat plays with the mouse" attitude. Now that he was seriously injured, he put away his thoughts of not taking Arata seriously.
This time he used his other fist to once again smash at Arata causing the pressure he was facing to greatly increase.
Saitama, who had been "lying dead" before, got up with some difficulty and when he saw that Arata was in a bitter fight he untied his suit and tie, wrapping it around his hand he sneaked behind the Crab Monster.
At the moment the Crab Monster was so angry that he just wanted to hurry up and crush Arata into meat paste.
Naturally, he didn't notice Saitama sneaking up behind him.
Saitama's tie was truly strong. After successfully sneaking up on the Crab Monster, He jumped on it and wrapped the tie around the Crab Monster's neck, and pulled it with all of his strength.
Arata also took advantage of the opportunity made by Saitama and plunged his sword straight into the eyes of the Crab Monster and killed it in a clean and simple manner.
*THUD*
The lifeless body of the Crab Monster dropped to the ground.
[Ding, the mission is completed, and The "Hero System" is activated]
[Initial task reward: Three chances to draw cards]
After killing the Crab Monster, Arara sat down on the ground and panted heavily wondering if his decision was right but hearing the prompt from the system in his head, he felt that everything was worth it.
"Fuuuh~, The Monster finally died. Hey, My name is Saitama, What's yours...?"
