BRAGR) Live Part 1 (Patreon)

“How did I do master?” Hilde ran up to me with a bright smile. She seemed to be very proud of what she had just done.

To be honest, I had never seen Hilde fight before, so seeing this kind of power from her was shocking, and I do not think this was her full power either. Looking at the cute dimples on her cheeks as she smiled at me made me smile as well. I reached up and patted her head. “Master, if you really want to pat me I do not mind strip…”

“Stop right there you perverted maid! Here I was trying to give you a reward by patting your head and you have to go start saying perverted things!” I really did wonder what was going on through this maid’s head.

“Master head is only full of you.” Hilde spoke with a shy expression on her face, making mine sour. I really do not want to know what she is thinking after all.

“Hilde, was that just a simple punch for you?” I had to ask this. One reason was because I really wanted to steer the conversation away from what it was on, and the other reason was because I really wanted to know the limits of Hilde’s power.

“Simple punch? Mmm… more like a flick? When I landed I only flicked the ground with my finger.” Hilde explained, which made my eyes widen. She had put a huge dent in the landscape with a single flick of her finger, killing the mob of monsters in the process. This was just…

“I am so weak still!” I cried out in self-deprecation. I really am weak. This one level I got brought me to level 29, and that was it. I needed to level up more. I needed to be strong enough to protect everything I cared about.

“Master, you have plenty of time to grow. I know you will become more powerful than you could ever imagine.” Hilde actually spoke with a serious expression for once. I could tell she was not lying, but how did she know?

How could she be so sure that I would become powerful in the future? From my dreams, I died young. How far can I get in just a few years? What was the true end to the system? How strong can a human actually get?

I glanced at Hilde, knowing she would not answer any of my questions, and sighed. “Hilde, good job. Let’s go.”

“Okay!” Hilde stuck to my side as I began walking towards the tall towers once again.

Dead bodies lay torn to pieces all over the ground. The streams of blood that ran down the rubbled-filled streets reminded me heavily of my dreams. The city this time had been harder than my dreams even now. As I walked with Hilde by my side, the sounds of jets flying over the city and the whistling sound of a bomb falling to the ground before causing an explosion could be heard all over.

I find it messed up that they are still attacking the city. The higher-ups who only care about their own lives are willing to kill millions if it means they can live even a second longer. But too bad those bunkers and the planes they seek refuge in are not safe either.

Even now, up above in the sky, I can see the large wing spans of monsters as big as planes flying in the sky. Human bullets will do nothing against a monster. A sword from in game can, but not one made in reality unless it was made using in-game materials. This is just the fact that people need to come to understand, but now…

I paused as I looked at a new crew who seemed to be locked down by a group of monsters. They were hiding in a crack in between two large pieces of concrete. “Master should we help them?”

 “Mmm… I want to do a small interview.” I have no idea how many people I can reach, but for now, I can at least try to send a message to those out there.

The two monsters that had been trying to get at the news crew were easily dispatched with a tap from Hilde. I walked over to the dazed reporter and her cameraman and smiled. “You still live?”

“Huh?” The woman seemed startled as she looked at me but soon nodded. “Yes! We are still live! Mike, we are live right?”

“Yes! Damn, I thought it was a goner. Thank you for saving us.” Mike replied, which I waved him off since I was not here to be buddy-buddy with him.

“Point the camera at me and give me your mic. I got something to say to the masses that are still watching.” I took the mic without waiting for an answer, and Hilde took the camera from Mike. I chuckled slightly before facing the camera.

“For all those who are watching. For those who are hiding in their home, basements, maybe even their bomb shelters. The bombs falling from the sky, this is what your government thinks of you. They do not care for the lives of the masses. Now that shit has hit the fan, they only care about those who can survive after they have destroyed everything. I want you all to know that the world will soon change. So-called modern weapons are not something that can kill monsters. Players can, but not soldiers. The planes that are dropping bombs are only there to take out the masses, not kill the monsters. I hope all of you who are watching this here and now will come out of this alive. But I am sure that 90% of you will die. Many will die to monsters while others will die to the government who is carpet bombing the cities.

 “To those who make it through this… Stay strong. And do your best to survive.”
