Ranking System

Chapter 179 Malleica (Part I)



[Third Person POV]

War was something that most people were generally interested in. When such an event happens, many will watch this battle from afar. Those who were cocky enough would join in to make a name for themselves.

Some major and minor companies will use war as a means of profit. As for the others, they will watch from afar to see if it is entertaining. This was how the world works. No one will care if someone from this dimension dies. That was how long it had been.

Considering how widely the system connected everyone on a grand scale, this war was minor. In a few years or so, most people will forget what happened.

The war between the IUC and Zephyr's Trading Firm was now underway. The history between these two wasn't bad, but they were competitors. When you do business that is similar to one another, customers will be split.

What led to this war was when the ZTF started an attack on a world that included the IUC. It didn't start as a war, but it was an escalation.

Since both companies had to send representatives to talk about the situation, that was when things went wrong. The disagreement, which led to one thing after another, quickly turned into a fight.

Engaging in war, the IUC didn't expect the ZTF to have more power in the lower-ranked worlds. If the higher rank world were involved, then the situation should change.

While it was true that the situation may change, fighting in the higher stages would be too risky. Even if a side was wiped out, losing too many men from a higher world rank wasn't worth the effort.

Malleica. A world where which contains primarily rocks. Not only was the world full of rocks but also precious ores. Ores that one wouldn't find anywhere else.

As a world part of the ZTF, the IUC prioritized this planet to be invaded. They were an enemy, and the resources gathered here would be highly profitable.

And the person sent into this world was Charles. Wanting to find Constance, he took the quickest approach and started an invasion of this world.

[Charles POV]

Coming to this world, I started to observe the biome. Everywhere I checked, rocks of different sorts would be found.

Once I found a small village, I didn't expect the inhabitant of this world to be made out of rocks. It wouldn't be surprising to call them golems at this point.

These rock people could regrow their limbs. Won't they be great resources? If you think about it, they're a money generator. Should I capture everyone instead?

Calling Linsey, she should be near Agnus still. When I called, Linsey had been put on my call.

"Linsey, these rock people could regrow their limbs. Should I capture them or break them into pieces?"

When I had asked Linsey, another voice had been heard. Agnus was still with Linsey, so instead of Linsey, Agnus had answered instead.

"It's only preferable if you captured the higher ranking ones."

From Agnus's words alone, I could tell that the lower-ranked rock creatures won't be able to generate much money. It would be a hassle to get more than necessary.

"That's all I have to say. The next time I call, this would will be in my hands."

I said my goodbyes one last time and started my work. This world was three times as large for being the same rank as Earth.

The first thing I needed to do was find a location filled with this world's residents. The small village could be my first visit, but I decided against it.

Since I needed to destroy some of the people of this world, I dropped a meteor from a few kilometers away. Before I could feel the shaking of the meteor's descent, I teleported away to a city that I had found.

Arriving in the city, I was surprised to see how functional these rock beings were. Most of the rock people here had taken the form of a humanoid beings. I also felt they were stronger than those in the small village.

Standing on the tallest building, I wondered if anyone in this town would be able to notice something unusual. Despite being in a war, everyone here was calm. Odd, if I may say.

Before going haywire and destroying everything, I checked out how these people acted. I was pretty surprised to hear them talk. While they could communicate, their way of talking was slow and rough.

The lives of the rock creatures were envious to most. But it was also dull. The creatures here didn't need to work. They wouldn't need to work if they had a house and rocks on the ground.

Some people wanted this kind of life, but for most, it was impossible. Now that I was here, the peace that they were supposed to have was gone.

It was time for me to attack. To attract all of these rock creatures, I started to create chaos. Stomping on the ground, I destroyed the tallest building I was on. When I did that, the building started to collapse.

The townspeople's attention started to gather on me, seeing what I had done. Hostility was shown to those that knew I was attacking.

"Intruder!!!"

Screeching in an annoying tone, I felt my ears about to burn. Before they could break my ears, I caused an explosion among the lesser beings in this town which had blown off almost all of the town.

There were still a few humanoid rock creatures alive. Most of their limbs were destroyed, but they had their cores together. Before I let them regenerate, I killed off the rock monsters with weaker energy levels.

"You! Tell me how this society of yours works."

One of the stronger people in this town was chained down. Forcing it to answer, I messed with its mind.

There were no resistances to my mind control. For someone as strong as this, it didn't have much of an awareness for it to resist.
