Traveller Of Two Worlds novel Chapter 3

"I never thought biology would be this easy…thanks to the 8.9 intellect point, I might even be a genius now…".

The number of books I've finished in the past 2 days already passed 100 books, and I remember everything in all those books. As for my physical strength, let's just say I already surpassed a normal human capacity, I can fall a 20-meter tall tree with my bare fist, and ran 100 meters in under 5 seconds, that fact alone explains how a freak I've become. My world travel abilities were also leveled up to level 3 which enable me to enlarge the radius of the affected area by 24 Meters wide, thanks to that I was able to bring my 2018 F Transit van filled with wares with me. Thankfully the forest I'm in wasn't that dense, so I managed to drive through the forest slowly, also the beast and monsters always try to stay clear from my path, probably because of the loud exhaust sound I presume.

[Sir, The closes town from here are the Town of Merrina and the Town of Mekk. ].

"Hmm…I can see that..2 towns different nations, Merrina Town belongs to the Kingdom of Hallerus, and Mekk Town own by Alemia Nation…I'll guesses we head for Merrina Town first…then probably Mekk..".

Ever since I kinda 'Leveled Up' my mini Map range has become bigger, right now I can view up to 20 kilometers radius with me as the center. On the map I can see that Merrina Town was at least 2 times bigger than Mekk town, there's probably a bigger market there, heading there is the best way for me now.

It was a sunny day here in Fantasma, there's no problem driving my Van, for now, the soil here was pretty hard, also I already changed the tire to off-road tires, so everything goes smoothly. It's probably gonna take about 6 hours of driving before I get to Merrina Town, I wasn't in a hurry besides I quite enjoy the scenery. I never get tired of seeing the Beast/Monsters/animals in Fantasma, they were very unique, it's like they come out of video games. I also have killed my very own Slime, just like what I've expected, they look like a Jell-O always squirming around with their transparent body, kinda cute though.

"...….Quest??…why?...".

[Sometimes, certain big real-time events will give out a quest, these features were given to you due to your disability to learn magic. This way you'll be able to earn Skills. In Fantasma Skills is very rare, to obtain them one must born with them, or master them to the full extent which normally took years...].

".….well, make sense I suppose..…but is magic really is a big deal??..".

I want to ask how, why, and by whom those quests were issued, but my guts tell me that T.A.S was either prohibited, or don't know the answers to my questions. Either way, I don't see any harm in accepting the quest, especially when they give out something valuable for free.

"..One Snakes hideout is...3 kilometers Southeast...old small Keep on a small hill, one small road directly to the entrance….wow! these guys were either confident or stupid…although it's pretty far from any town…still selecting a base that stands out in the open….just how vicious are they?…".

As I driving, I study the location of One Snake's base, the place they use for their base was just outrageous to me. It was on top of a small hill furthermore a Keep, why not just make a 20 story building and hang a neon board saying "We're Here".

[One Snakes bandit is a very well-known group in the 3 neighboring nations, they are known for their ruthlessness and violent act. Constantly raiding villages and Small towns all over the three nations, also they have 100 members with a total bounty of 200 Gold coins, quite a feat I must say. I advise you to be extra careful sir…].

Hearing T.A.S's explanation, these guys deserve to be cleaned out though. This will make things easier then, I won't have any guilt about killing those guys. Fantasma isn't Earth, the way of doing things here is totally different from Earth, the survival of the fittest, the strong rule the weak, Also there is no point in bringing my earthly mentality here. I've killed before, when I was serving in the army and when I become a Mafia, so it wasn't a distant thing for me. Besides the recent increase in my intellect made me mentally strong and it subconsciously changed my way of thinking and acting, I've become more subjective towards fulfilling my goals, still, I'm not a robot, because I still can feel emotions.

[Sir, we closing in, 1 kilometer to go… ].

"Understood…right now,…..it's 4:30 pm…let's wait till dark, then we'll start…".

I'm alone, so doing this kind of big operation is suitable at night, for now, it's better to make my preparation, I park my van near the edge of the forest and start preparing.

[Sir, I recommend that we attack them head-on...with your capability, wiping 50 bandits, who are slightly above a normal fighter is an easy feat...].

"….well that's….true?....I guess?....but, that will give out our location and that also will allow them to retaliate, or a chance to run away….so, going in gun blazing wasn't effective...what I want is a total wipeout and the highest percentage of hostage survival..".

I don't know if I can get out unscathed if I go head-on, taking my status attributes into the account, maybe I can, but I can't say the same to the hostages. If I want to do this, I want it to go perfectly; I want to complete both quests.

[This will surely take time..].

"...of course it will! good things don't come easy you know...Also, why do I feel that your personality kinda getting weird and sarcastic nowadays?..".
