Chapter 3: Body-carrying Carriage

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Name: Lugh

Age: 17

Level: 1-Star Rune-Master (Proficiency: 1%)

Life: Beginner

Just as Lugh walked out of the prison, his information panel changed. With a strong body rune and an invisibility rune, he had become a 1-star rune-master.

This surprised Lugh.

Progressing to become a rune-master in this world was usually a long process. Anyone who meditated on runes would first become a 1-star rune apprentice. Even before they could have a chance of being a 1-star rune-master, they needed to master many runes through continuous meditation.

But Lugh had been a 1-star rune-master from the very beginning, surpassing many people.

In the Simon Empire, even 1-star rune-masters held a very high social status and were respected by commoners.

“Right. What does proficiency mean?” Lugh asked the system, curious about the 1% proficiency indicated in his level.

“Proficiency refers to the skill and experience you have in using runes. As long as you keep using runes, you will be able to increase your proficiency. When your proficiency reaches 100%, you will be able to increase your level and become a stronger rune-master!”

Lugh understood. The system had explained it very clearly.

He was different from the others. He did not need to train hard in meditation. He only needed to keep using runes to become a more powerful rune-master.

Lugh clenched his fists in excitement, seeing how he could use this for vengeance.

“Just you wait, Berg. I’ll kill you sooner or later.”

...

Simon Empire was similar to the European empire in the Middle Ages. The architectural style was similar too. Pedestrians came and went. From time to time, a few carriages would pass through the streets. In the carriages sat nobles dressed in fabulous clothes. Seeing these galloping carriages, civilians dressed in ragged clothes would move aside, with nothing to do but look at these nobles with envy.

“F*ck!”

“Damn it!”

The coachman driving one of these carriages suddenly saw a burly man jump out onto the middle of the road. However, instead of slowing down, the coachman planned to speed up and rush towards this man.

The speeding carriage would definitely smash this man into a pile of meat.

“Lowly commoner, how dare you block a noble’s carriage!” the coachman said as his eyes flickered with contempt. He waved the horsewhip in his hand, as if crazed.

The commoner nearest to the man crouched down on the ground, not daring to remind the man to move away from the path of the carriage. He did not want to be in trouble with the nobles.

Some of the passersby even covered their eyes. They could not bear to see this man being smashed by the carriage.

Unknown to anyone, this man was really Lugh, who had just escaped from prison. He had deactivated his invisibility and had returned to his original state.

Lugh felt that he was walking in medieval Europe. He looked at the structures and the crowd around him with interest. For a moment, he actually did not notice the carriage that was speeding towards him.

Suddenly, Lugh sensed something and turned around abruptly. A carriage was speeding towards him; he was directly in its path.

Lugh’s heart jumped, but in the next second, he immediately regained his calm.

Not only did Lugh gain bodily strength, but his mind’s ability to react was also greatly enhanced.

Just by looking at the approaching carriage, Lugh knew that his strength was not enough. He could only rely on the power of the runes.

What could withstand the impact of the carriage?

Rocks? City walls? Steel?

Only certain runes would work in a situation such as this. Visualizing the wrong thing could lead to nothing.

What are you visualizing? Lugh thought to himself. It was a critical moment, but he did not panic. Instead, he quickly thought of a way to deal with the matter.

To the bystanders, Lugh was just waiting for his tragic end.

“Could he have been scared witless?”

“Ah, poor young man.”

“It’s rare to see such a tall and handsome young man. What a pity.”

When the civilians saw Lugh’s blank face, they thought that he had been scared witless by the speeding carriage.

“Got it!” Lugh snapped his fingers and shouted, “Metallization!”

A rune appeared in the depths of his mind. At the same time, a rune phantom hovered above Lugh, emitting a holy light and enveloping him.

In an instant, Lugh’s entire body was covered in a metallic luster. His body was transforming from the inside into metal and the hardness of his body was increasing by the second.

The sound of collision rang out in the street.

Suddenly frightened, the horse drawing the carriage raised its hooves in mid-air, about to trample Lugh to mush. Lugh stretched out his arms and grabbed onto the horse’s hooves. With a forceful push, he held back the horse and the carriage. The carriage shook and the coachman fell to the ground

From within the carriage, a delicate cry—like that of a sweet bird—rang out.

Lugh put down the horse’s hooves. The frightened horse dared not move recklessly and quietened down.

“He’s actually a rune-master?”

“Such a young rune-master is truly inconceivable!”

“If he wasn’t a rune-master, he wouldn’t have been able to block the carriage.”

The surrounding commoners were all shocked. They were surprised to see Lugh using his body to block the carriage, while a rune phantom appeared in the sky. This man was unmistakably a rune-master.

“What’s going on?”

A woman wearing a long, exquisite dress angrily drew the curtain on the carriage.

Her long hair dazzled like gold. She had snow-white skin that made her sapphire eyes even more strikingly beautiful.

Even Lugh, who had had deep interactions with many beautiful women, was moved.

This woman had a charm that modern daughters did not have. She was a real noblewoman.
