In a back alley in Continent Mu. A boy with black hair opened his eyes and started gasping for air. 

"Haa.. Haaa... I'm.. Alive? No... Was that... A dream... No. That was no dream." 

The boy shook his head and was about to continue pondering when suddenly, a blue screen popped up infront of his face. 


[You have been blessed by XXX with this Salvation System.] 

That was written on the blue screen. He frowned, what is the purpose of this? 

Ignoring him, the Salvation System continued, 


[Scanning User... Scanning... Scan complete. Producing Status Panel.. Producing... Production complete.] 


After those few lines, it faded for a moment and then changed colours to light blue. 


[Status Panel] 

[Name: Juviel Zraks] 

[Age: 16]

[Ability: Abscond(SSS+)] 

[Abilities/Talents/Skills Borrowed: - ] 

[Current Condition: Starving, but no risk of death.]

[Current Salvation Points: -210.] 


He raised an eyebrow at the sight he was witnessing. He wondered if there was a detailed description of what Salvation Points were and another detailed explanation on his ability. Furthermore... Why were the Salvation Points in the negative!? 

As if responding to his thought, a small description appeared next to the terms. 


[Abscond: Borrowing of abilities/skills/talents with a touch. Duration depends on the trust percentage of the target.  Chance of success is 100% due to the blessing of XXX. Once borrowed from, target forgets how to use it for 24 hours. (Previously an SSS Ability due to low success rate. Due to blessing of XXX, the flaw has been fixed and it is now an SSS+ Ability.) 


• 100% Trust would allow for indefinite usage.

•  90% allows for the User to gain it for 3/4th of current age. 

• 60%-80% allows the User to gain it for 2/4th of current age.

•  40%-60% allows for 1/30th of current age.

•  1%-40% allows for 1/40th of current age. 

• 0% allows for 1/50th of current age. 


Current usage limit: 10 times a day

Upgrade Ability to increase the usage limit. Level up to increase the borrowing limit.] 


[Salvation Points: Points used to level up existing abilities in the Salvation Shop. Points can be earned by completing Salvation Tasks, Salvation Targets as well as Salvation Missions. Salvation Points can also be earned from day to day activities such as helping the elderly cross the road.] 


[Daily Consumption of 9 Salvation Points and 1 Salvation Point was required to ensure the User's survival. Further details will be mentioned.] 

He looked on with interest at this interface that popped up infront of his eyes. After reading everything carefully, he closed his eyes to digest everything. 

Then he reopened his eyes, feeling a bit melancholic. Then he spoke, 


"... That's not even my name. My name is **** ***********... Who is this? Am I currently in someone else's body? Did I just get... Censored?" 

He felt a bit disturbed at the idea of being in the body of someone else, but he had no choice but to accept it. The censoring was also quite strange. However his system had intervened before he made up his mind. 


[User. This is not another person's body. This is an identity that previously did not exist in this world. User can notice that everything besides the User's name is the same.] 

He looked down and found out that everything was the same. He was wearing the same clothing, same hair colour and same skin colour. Same voice as well. He was confused, was changing the name that important? 

Noticing his doubt, The System replied in a serious tone. 


[User is not advised to mention his real name. This name belongs to the Identity that was forcefully inserted into this world. It shouldn't exist, yet it is existing. There is a fragile balance and the moment the User tells someone the User's previous name, this balance will shatter and the User will perish.] 

He couldn't fully understand what was going on, but he knew one thing. 


"Wouldn't you censor it if I spoke?" 

The System paused for a bit before replying, 


[User. Hiding the User's real name is what this System has been doing ever since the User was sent here. However, hiding conversations adds on to the trouble so please don't add on to my difficulties.] 

He was stunned, this System sure was human! Then he realised something. His expression changed, 


"How long has it been since I was sent here?" 


[Three weeks, User.] 

He was shocked, no wonder the status showed that he was starving! He decided to check the Status panel once more. He was about to check the condition part, and then he got reminded of the Salvation Points problem. 


"Why are my Salvation Points in the negatives!? Am I that evil!?" 

The System replied, 


[User. 1 Salvation Point was used everyday to sustain the User's deteriorating body condition. Reminder, the User is in fact dead. The body would have stopped functioning a long time ago had it not been for the Salvation Points. User must get stronger and stop depending on Salvation Points to survive.] 

He was shocked, these Salvation Points were too ridiculous weren't they!? He did some quick maths and his expression changed, the maths didn't match up! 


"Even then, that would be 21 Points! Where are you getting these Points from!?" 

He wanted to know where the System was taking these Points from!! They didn't exist, what was the System taking!! 

Then, the System chuckled and replied, 


[Calm down User. A daily Consumption of 9 Salvation Points a day is necessary to ensure that the User's real identity can be hidden properly. The User will perish once the Salvation Points hit -333.] 

His eyes widened in pure shock. Shit! Didn't that mean he only had less then 2 weeks left to live!? 


"Alright, let's go help some elderly!!" 

Seeing his enthusiasm, the System chuckled. 


[Calm down User. Find something to eat first, saving oneself is also considered as Salvation. The Points the User gains from Self-Salvation is normally higher than the Points gained from saving one person.] 

Hearing that, he paused. But then put his hands into his pockets. His face paled, they were empty!!!! He didn't have cash to buy food!! 


[...] 

The System was speechless. Then it sighed and started speaking with it's usual light female voice. 


[User, I shall issue the first Salvation Missions then...] 

Juviel was surprised. Missions can be gotten that easily? He was curious and looked forward to it. 

The blue screen infront of his eyes flickered and another smaller screen popped infront of the previous screen. This screen was completely red with light pink font. Then two more screens popped beneath it, one that was purple and one that was green, both with white font. 


[Mythic Ranked Salvation Mission: Find Elysia. 


Objective: This is a mission given by XXX. Find Elysia and change her fate. She does not require Salvation. But she will save you, dear User. Change her fate at the Final Banquet no matter what. 


Time Remaining Till The Final Banquet: 2,160 Days, 23 Hours and 34 Seconds left.


Rewards: SSS+ Authority Of Destruction/Limit Breaker/All Weapons Mastery, SSS+ Trait: Compassion, 100,000,000,000 Salvation Points(may increase depending on how the User changes her fate), SSS+ Weapon(Bringer Of Salvation, Bringer Of Doom, Bringer Of Chaos), 1 Reincarnation into 50,000+ years into the future(with memories). 


Penalty: Go faq yourself. I'll end you with deez hands!!!!] 

Holy shit!!! Look at those ridiculous rewards!!!? If I consider 1 person = to 1 Salvation Point, then saving this Elysia person would be equivalent to saving 100 billion people!!!! It could also increase!!! Wait, is that really a lot of points? Maybe I could get 1000 Salvation Points per person? 

Also... The Final Banquet? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Also, she doesn't need salvation, what the fuck am I going there for then!? What even is her fate!? 


[Cannot answer.] 

He sighed and then looked at the remaining rewards. Immediately he got excited again. His crazy ability is at SSS+ Tier, and he would get stuff of equal level!? That was ridiculous! 

I don't know!!! Either way, one SSS+ Tier Trait, 1 SSS+ Tier thingies with cool sounding names!!! 1 SSS+ Tier Weapon too!!! Also... 1 Reincarnation? With my memories too!!? Then doesn't that mean another chance at life!!!? Holy shit!!! 

What the fuck is up with the penalty though!? Does it even have hands!? 

He shook his head as he chuckled at himself. When was the last time he got this excited? Probably when he borrowed his brother's skill at swordsmanship and beat up his enemies. 

Then he moved on to the next Mission Panel. 


[Epic Ranked Salvation Mission: Save Yourself You Lil Shit. 


Within the span of 2 weeks, the User is advised to find a stable source of Salvation Points or get the negative value to the positives. 


Rewards: You get to live. Damn and you still want more? Fine, you'll get 100,000 Salvation Points, happy? 


Penalty: We both perish!! Hurry the faq up!!! I want to live!!!] 

He read that speechlessly, what the hell, even his system started roasting him. Also, was it being family friendly by saying 'faq' instead of 'fuck'? 

He rolled his eyes at the System and looked at the remaining panel. 


[Common Rank Salvation Mission: Save the disabled girl on the wheelchair from the thugs! 


There is a girl near you, she is right infront of the alley you are in. Her sister is currently at the hospital, getting medication for her. The girl was told to wait there until she got back! The girl's sister would return in 2 minutes! However, the girl is currently surrounded by thugs because she is cute! She needs immediate help! Do it you filthy animal! 


Rewards: 1000 Salvation Points. 


Penalty: How dare you even think of not doing this!!! You beast!!! You cannot use your Ability for 2 years if you fail!!!] 

His eyes widened in pure shock as his feet started running before his mind processed everything. 

He felt weak from starvation, but he had access to a fraction of the highest level of Martial Arts from his world. Which is useful against enemies who are even the slightest good at Martial Arts! Unfortunately it's not capable enough of allowing him to defeat masters, but it does allow him to escape with his life! But these thugs shouldn't be that skilled... Right? 

He managed to hear a scream for help. It sounded quite young and immature, probably around 15. He scowled at that thought, what kind of beasts are these!! 

Then he got out of the alley, with a smile on his face. He saw three thugs surrounding a small girl with black hair on a wheelchair. 

The thugs were currently cackling like some third-rate villains. But they stopped when he came out of the alley and looked at them. Then seeing how filthy he looked, the thugs thought he wanted to join in too. One of them laughed and said, 

"Ay bro, calm down. We got here first, you'll have your turn after we are done, ok bro?" 

Juviel flashed them a bright smile which made them think he agreed. The girl started crying out of despair. 

This made his heart clench and anger started filling him up. Ahh, these filthy animals. 

He started walking towards them whilst speaking, 

"Ay bros, chill. You don't mind if I watch you all do it right?" 

The three thugs started cackling and waved his hand as a gesture for him to come closer. 

"Sure man, after this girl how about we go and grab some more? Gagagaga!!" 

He had some sort of weird laugh. Juviel also started laughing loudly. He had reached the three thugs. 

Then he punched the one with the weird laugh in the throat, he kicked the other one in the nuts and grabbed the final one's face and slammed him to the ground. 

None of them could react at all. The two fainted, one due to pain and one due to a concussion. The only one standing was holding his throat as if he was suffocating. 

Juviel chuckled and kicked his head, this made him faint. He wanted to kill them, but this place is unknown. He doesn't know of the laws here. So he simply beat them up. Then he stamped on their nuts, making sure that their career as men was over. 

Then a screen that only he could see popped up infront of his eyes. He smiled in his heart. 


[Salvation Mission Completed. Yayyy!! We both are living!! Since you finished it earlier, I'll give you double the reward! 


+200,000 Salvation Points!] 


[Salvation Mission Completed. Well done, you aren't a filthy animal! 


+1000 Salvation Points!] 

The girl was stunned, she even stopped crying out of shock. He smiled gently, then using his knowledge from psychology. He took a step back and said, 

"Little girl, big brother here is homeless. But I still have my morals, why are you here all alone?" 

Of course he knew why she was alone. The mission description told him everything. But telling her that would be strange wouldn't it? What if he was labelled as a stalker? 

The girl stopped crying as she looked at his smiling face whilst trembling. She saw that he kept his distance and felt a bit relieved. Then she started speaking with a shaking voice, 

"M-My s-sister s-said she w-will be b-back!" 

He put his hand on his chin and put on a thoughtful expression. Then he smiled at her, this made her relax a bit. 

"Little girl, is that a watch? Could you tell me the time?" 

That was such a random question that she paused for a moment in confusion. This managed to rid her of the anxiety. 

She looked at the watch on her wrist and looked back at the big brother that looked like he hadn't ate nor showered in ages. She was grateful that he saved her, so she didn't mind telling him the time. 

"It's 22:34!" 

His eyes widened in shock. Was this sister of her's crazy!? How could she leave her at this time!? 

Right when he was doubting this sister's rationality, a girl with long black hair came and stood infront of the little girl. 

Then she glared at the filthy homeless man. The little girl rejoiced, 

"Big sis!" 

He shrugged after seeing that and walked back into the alley once more. The little girl waved her hands at him and he waved back with a smile on his face. That was enough of a reward for him. 

He looked around the alley and found out that it was extremely dirty except the place he was previously at. Which was sticking out like a sore thumb. He chuckled and laid down, deciding to call it a night. 

He was still extremely hungry, but he could sleep. He wouldn't die anytime soon. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep within minutes.
