Rhis: The Alternative Story 6 Cliche Robbery

"System, how does this bag work?" s.h.i.+ro asked as he held up the shabby storage pouch he retrieved from the gunner's body

[Magicians who have attained high mastery of s.p.a.ce magic are required.] the disembodied voice replied as s.h.i.+ro dug through the bag

The bag was filled with some old rations, water jugs, coins and explosives?

The explosives looked like dynamite sticks, there were even some match sticks to go with them.

Picking up a gold coin, the s.h.i.+nigami realized he didn't have any money until now.

"Hey system, what's the currency in this world?" he asked wondering if the coins are worth much

[Bronze coins are the lowest form of currency.

Silver coins are worth 50 bronze coins

Gold coins are worth 100 silver coins

Platinum coins are worth 100 gold coins] the system listed to it's host

counting the amount of money, the man had 11 gold coins, 30 silver coins and 63 bronze coins.

"Does this mean I'm rich?" s.h.i.+ro asked with stars in his eyes

[An average wealthy person will have roughly 30 gold coins] the system responded bringing down the s.h.i.+nigami's excitement.

The winter haired protagonist stopped when he noticed something ahead. A caravan surrounded by armed men mounted ontop of oversized lizards.

"Could this be the cliche road robbery!?" s.h.i.+ro exclaimed with starry eyes

It was a simple job, distract the driver, surround the target and loot everything of value. There was no need for any bloodshed. But Scald just couldn't keep his d.i.c.k in check. He just had to try to grab a girl just because she looked alright. The idiot, now we actually got a fight on our hands.

As I gave an eye signal to Bronc, we readied to put down any hot-head who thought themselves a hero.

"ARRRGH!" Until I turned to the sound of Kenny with a blade sticking through his chest

"BACKSTAB!" It was difficult to comprehend who said that, but it probably came from the b.a.s.t.a.r.d that killed kenny

"You killed Kenny! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Looks like Bronc noticed it as well, this isn't good. Kenny and him and a thing going on. Neither Scald nor I ever mentioned anything about it, but it was pretty obvious.

"Bronc, calm dow-" I didn't get to finish as he jumped off the driz. If you're going to charge at someone like an idiot, why would you jump off your mount!?

"I'M GONNA MURDER YOU, YOU SON OF A b.i.t.c.h" Bronc roared as the white haired brat kicked Kenny's corpse to him.

"n.o.bODY MOVE" the kid yelled as he held up orange sticks between his fingers.

Dear G.o.ds the kid's loaded with high-grade dynamite! He's gonna kill us all!

[System believes this to be a terrible plan.] The voice stated as the s.h.i.+nigami held up the lit dynamite. Maybe the system was right, running up to someone and yelling 'BACKSTAB' was probably not the best idea.

Looking towards the faces of the bandits, at least they were terrified. Then again the people on the carriage seemed to be terrified too, so maybe using lit explosives to threaten people wasn't the greatest idea.

"Scram before I blow this place sky high!" the winter haired s.h.i.+nigami yelled as the bandits didn't move

"You're bluffing! If you use that, it'll kill the others as well!" one of the men that looked to be the leader said calling his bluff

"TRY ME! I WILL KILL AS MANY PEOPLE AS IT TAKES AS LONG AS YOU ARE ONE OF THEM!" s.h.i.+ro yelled out with a menacing grin on his face

perhaps his bluff worked because the boss's face actually seemed a bit troubled. Good because there wasn't much time left until he was forced to throw the sticks.

"Scald! drop the girl and let's get out of here." the bandit leader finally called out

"But boss! He killed Kenny!" the man holding their dead comrade's body cried out

"And we will deal with him eventually, but for now we should bury Kenny" the boss said carefully. Looked like the grunt agreed as he got back on the lizard and rode off in another direction.

s.h.i.+ro let out a deep breath as he saw them disappear far off.

"YOUR HANDS!" a man from the carriage yelled out as he pointed towards the s.h.i.+nigami with a horrified expression

[System suggests throwing the explosives] rang out the voice of the system as s.h.i.+ro looked down at the dynamite in his hand that were about to explode.

"OH s.h.i.+T" he cried as he chucked them as far as he possibly could with mana enhanced arms.

Over at the bandits

"Don't worry guys, that brat will get what's coming to him" the boss a.s.sured to his underlings as they came to a stop to look for a place to bury their friend

It was in that moment that a thump was heard on the ground next to them. Looking closely it was the sticks of dynamite.

"OH s.h.i.+T!"

was the last thing the boss said when a ma.s.sive explosion boomed off creating a mushroom cloud that was seen in the distance.

[DING.... 2940 EXP GAINED] [DING.... 1850 EXP GAINED] [DING.... 1700 EXP GAINED] [LEVEL UP]

"Dear G.o.ds, that's a lot of stats." s.h.i.+ro said in awe as he looked at the increase in his attributes

[Host's status is enough to be on par with levels 35-50. However System must warn host that despite the difference in level, Host can still be defeated by those around the host's level if they are skilled enough. System a.n.a.lyses host to over-rely on regeneration, should enemies adjust to deal with it then host may die] the system warned as s.h.i.+ro did start the develop a habit of just tanking hits since he can just regen aslong as his body isn't completely destroyed

"Well that just b.u.ms me out, maybe I should join a school for sword training, also why is my cla.s.s still the same?" The s.h.i.+nigami asked as he noticed he was still labeled as a Frost Reaper despite reaching level 20

[When Host's body was created, the custom Frost Reaper cla.s.s was given to Host. If there is a large change to host's body, the cla.s.s may mutate] explained the robotic voice

"Um... do you always talk to yourself?" came the voice to s.h.i.+ro's side. He looked to the side to see one of the merchants he saved.

"Yup, don't worry about it." s.h.i.+ro waved off the man's concern.

The man didn't look convinced the s.h.i.+nigami was alright in the head
