The Game Rune System

Chapter 6: What's a home without women?



Tetsuya was in a wooden house which looked as if made by an idiot.

But it was exactly like that as the ones who built it were the bandits. Despite every instruction Tetsuya passed them, the bandits couldn't properly do their tasks, but the house still could be used for a living.

There were twenty-five houses around with the big 'mansion' in the middle belonging to the game master.

This very game master was not so pleased. "What do you mean, Ashley?" He asked with an irritated voice, the one that unquestionably conveyed his emotions. "This is my house?" His hand then swept through the poor house whose interior was only filled with a bed, desk, and table. By the table, there were a few chairs, but all of these meant nothing.

"What's home without women?" Tetsuya declared the obvious, then rubbed his temples. "This world betrays me yet again… Why did this world take away normal women from this place?" There were only sluts around!

But was it really that surprising considering Tetsuya's current location? He was in the bandit camp that changed into a small village, but women around here were easily swapped between the men.

Some of these bandits even wanted to allow Tetsuya to begin the fun first, but he refused immediately. Then, he turned those bandits into holy saints by giving them a quest.

[Take one woman for a wife and nurture the love.]

It was the quest from the game rune.

This quest made some internal battles as bandits fought for their favorite women, but it got settled with a 'no killing' tournament inside. Not only that, but Tetsuya made the bandits plunder the merchants around without killing.

All by giving the quests that could strengthen them. "Those bandits only look at the strength and stamina stat. Just by increasing it by one, I can force them to do everything I want." It was so easy, but Tetsuya still couldn't go against the slave masters.

"We can't issue the quests that might destroy their bodies… Their talent is limited, but the rune already gives them more than they possibly could have gotten in their lives…" Ashley whispered from the inside, her voice, not that worried at all.

It was because Tetsuya and Ashley found out about the player's advantage.

The more players, the more stats for themselves.

When the bandits gained one stamina point, Tetsuya also got it, and so he issued the quests more, but there were limits to their bodies and the environment!

"I want to have a board already! Fuck it." Tetsuya wanted to just make those bandits play the game and decide everything in the MOBA environment! The winning would give them stats and strength, so he knew they would be willing to play whenever he wanted.

And there would be no killing at all.

"But turning the whole world into a game sounds so fun, Tetsuya." Ashley already asked him before to go around the world to gather some 'mage' players. Those mage players would be people that used runes with elements like Red Rose Woman.

It was kinda fun for Tetsuya, but it would be far more enjoyable with a woman by his side. The whole month without bed activity left some stamp on Tetsuya's mind. He rubbed his chin, then let out the next plan. "The bandits need to conquer more for me. After this whole month, their stats and strength should long exceed the other bandits, and it is time for us to inspect their runes more closely."

The purple rune, Game Rune System, should be able to give the stronger version of their already weak runes as a reward. Tetsuya wanted to use this for the bandits to perform the quest while giving their all.

This quest would be to conquer another bandit camp without killing!

"That's true. I also know a little about their runes, but with the demon bloodline rich in the knowledge, we might be able to see through hidden mysteries! It is exciting, isn't it?" Ashley's body swayed within Tetsuya's mind as she imagined a new portion of knowledge.

Thus, it was time for the game master to call his people!

As Tetsuya left his house, he strode towards the middle of the camp. It didn't take him even ten steps to do so! Once he appeared here, he waited for bandits to come out from their houses on their own.

This needed some time as they were either working out or doing other exciting quests.

But when one of them noticed Tetsuya standing with his arms crossed, his eyes trembled, then the whole pack got gathered by him! "Tetsuya Boss!" They shouted in tandem after forming a perfect row, then waited for the instructions.

A man with a unique rune could be their boss without any problem! Furthermore, the former one was still doing most tasks anyway, so it was all fine! They highly respected the new boss, so when Tetsuya told them about the quest, their eyes closed in happiness.

[Quest: Conquer another bandit camp!

Conquer another bandit camp without killing! You have to make them subordinate to The Tetsuya Boss with raw strength and dominance! If you fail to do so, the player rune will be lost!

Reward: The quest for the mistress.

Reward: A new strengthening rune.

Reward: Loot from another camp will be accordingly passed to you by The Tetsuya Boss.]

"We will set tonight. Prepare well and rest." The boss said, then turned around to return to his big mansion! As he did, the bandits threw their excitement at his back, which was so huge Tetsuya felt being pushed forward slightly.

They then scattered to their houses while Tetsuya's steps didn't stop at all.

He left his big house through the second door from behind, then his destination got set after a short glance on the minimap.

Ashley saw that he glanced at the aforementioned bandit camp! "What are you going to do?" She then probed for information! It must have been pretty dull for her to watch all this time from the inside. Luckily enough, Ashley could train her skills here, but it was still a tad boring despite Tetsuya doing a relatively good job as the game master.

"I will turn the boss into a real boss." This brought up some confusion within Ashley's eyes. "The boss is far weaker than me, so the game rune should be able to influence him without me even appearing to their eyes. I want to experiment more."

Ashley nodded, her eyes coming back to the past. "You already got some potions, so it is time to spread the influence more!" The potions had yet to be tested, though. "Will you also get rune from the bandits to test the game rune's abilities? It might be hard, though… Bandits also use the runes described within their bodies, so it won't be easy to take them for an experiment. Besides, it would require you to fight."

"So I will fight." The game master answered, his eyes not losing that charisma! "If anything, I can always lure out one idiot without any problem. People around here think with their lower parts."

"Their runes are plain and boring, but they also lack knowledge," Ashley explained. "So they just use what they can and succumb to their desires. You can't blame them, but there is also no need to forgive or hold back."

A soft laugh escaped her partner's lips when he heard it. "They are all tools to fulfill my goals. Since it's me, they should be grateful for my eyes even landing on them." He then closed those eyes as if trying to tease the betraying world.

"Idiot."
