The Game Rune System

You have to build items from components in the MOBA Games.

Tetsuya just created the first proper item which was the sword. This sword was actually the treasure that bandits stole from a merchant! Its blade was sharp and the materials used for this piece were certainly exquisite for this region.

Thus, Tetsuya didn't waste any time and began to properly work on it with his game master quest.

In many MOBA games, the components didn't really need to have anything in common with the main item. One could build the shield from some lesser armor and so on! Those components were also the important pieces in the MOBA game, though!

Tetsuya still found some broken and smaller swords, then played with these with the main item in mind.

As he was confident in himself and the game rune, Tetsuya quickly made an item. This item was the same as the treasure he snatched from the bandits! But it was far stronger as Tetsuya's game rune used both its powers and the strengthening rune IV to enhance it for future games.

"It… It disappeared?" Brolu just couldn't calm down! "Do you have spatial treasure? I thought you were a mediocre merchant… But this is amazing!" The item disappeared like that, so it had to be a spatial treasure.

But it was Tetsuya and Ashley putting the item on their game board.

[You have added 'Golden Bandit Sword' and its components to the MOBA GAME RUNE.]

Tetsuya could no longer use the sword in 'real-life', but this meant that the MOBA game rune was finally advancing! If there was a game now, then players could buy the components and then complete the item!

All of them could get the Golden Bandit Sword thanks to Tetsuya adding it to the system.

Of course, it couldn't be taken out anymore.

[The Game Rune blesses your body with +50 strength due to your achievement.]

[You have found the faint trace of Barbarian Bloodline within the simplified self-strengthening rune IV.]

"What a clue." Both Tetsuya and Ashley ignored the fallen noble next to them. Instead, they were more interested in their own rune, so Brolu felt a little wounded by such lack of response!

Nonetheless, he was a good knight and waited for the excitement to wear off.

"So you said something about spatial treasure." Tetsuya finally turned his eyes to the young knight. Those eyes demanded explanation immediately, so Brolu answered with a faint smile on his face.

Merchants surely were interested in the treasures, "Spatial runes are really expensive and not everyone can use these… But those who can get rich really fast by using their talent to form the spatial treasures. They use their knowledge to make the spatial treasure usable for everyone."

"Honestly, you all have so many limitations." Tetsuya laughed as his game rune system's inventory was within his grasp. It was not perfect, but he didn't even think of this flaw for now.

He slowly stood up, took out the potion from his pocket, and lightly threw it to the young knight.

Brolu barely caught it up, but he was thankful for another potion as these were valuable. Their regeneration effects were superb and Tetsuya could make these simply from the blood, so Brolu was thankful!

Through all the conquests, Tetsuya has been showing off his abilities freely. He didn't do anything weird though and as the merchant, he was supposed to be, Tetsuya focused on the items!

It worked well as Brolu wholly believed that the game rune supported the merchant's skills.

A few moments later, Brolu's ears trembled, "It's time to deal with the slave business." Tetsuya's voice sounded impatient and one could hear that there was more to it than just a quest. He already left the carriage and headed to the bandit bosses.

Those people were like division leaders, all united with the game rune. Before they could spot Tetsuya, their minds shook with the quest. This quest was to help the 'merchant' with the slave business.

It was natural for the bandits to feel scared, but they were willing to take the risk! The same went for Brolu as the rewards were ample. He also felt like slaves would help him in the academy, but the days filled under him would be painful for all of them including Brolu.

One of the bandit bosses, named Suyin, was aware of Tetsuya's identity. He knew that Tetsuya was the mastermind and the game rune possessor, so he flashed his yellow teeth and promised to help the best.

In a few senses, the Tetsuya Gang was growing up at high speed! "The slave business opens many routes for us. Look forward to it." Tetsuya then spun around and left. He also left huge expectations within the bandit bosses who wanted some voluptuous female slaves for themselves… Their desires also spread through underlings who began to dream the same.

Thus, the carriage's next destination has been set.

-

[You have awakened the new game rune!]

"What?" Tetsuya rubbed his eyes as the new game rune awakened during the night. He also could hear Ashley questioning as she slept too like the human she was… For now, both of them were humans, but Tetsuya and Ashley enjoyed the sleep.

[Eroge Game Rune.]

"Hahahaha!" Tetsuya's sudden laugh thundered during the night. "Those bastards really gave me the eroge game rune? Just like that? Hahahaha!" He was all laughs as Tetsuya could imagine the reason for this rune to appear.

This eroge game rune wasn't that simple, though. Of course, the end goal was to have a beautiful night with the chosen woman. One could either forget or nurture the relationship which Tetsuya surely would like.

However, this game rune had something akin to the 'protagonists' plot-armor.

[Your plot armor has been designed - The Evil Charming Prince.]

"The Evil… Charming Prince? Ufufufu!" Ashley laughed in a very strange manner as if she tried to hold all her laughter back, but it was her genuine laughter. She laughed so hard it sounded weird too, but the plot-armor from the eroge game rune made her fall onto her knees.

Her eyes were tightly closed from the laughter, "W-what does this… Ufufufu… plot armor do?" She barely asked and Tetsuya knew how much she loved to ask the questions! Though her laughter was somewhat understandable, Tetsuya didn't really get that bothered. His answer also caused Ashley to calm down a little.

"Just one of many titles. Since it woke me up in the middle, it better be something good for me." He then spread the information window.

[The Evil Charming Prince - This plot-armor gives you an extraordinary charm that can not be erased from the women's minds. You always will gather their attention and leave something behind within them. Your actions result in how deep is the left sensation.]

"Nothing new." Tetsuya shooed away the window with the explanation, then reached for the other ones that appeared with the eroge game rune. In the meantime, he could hear Ashley's laughter being replaced with deep sighs which were cute on their own.

Their eyes then went to the new game windows.

[Brolu - Clueless Knight Protagonist - He will gather the attention of many older women while not even realizing their feelings. It is estimated that Brolu will end one of many paths by the end of the twenty-fifth birthday!]

"That's so cruel!" Ashley's hands went to her waist as she shouted. "Imagine how many women he will lose by the clueless plot-armor! This is too cruel for both him and women! And why is it estimated that he will get the first woman on his twenty-fifth birthday? Cruel!" Ashley didn't really understand the plot armor of this eroge game rune. First of all, was it really so easy to play with one's feelings?

It might be for the playful demon, but they were weak with their game runes!

"Get it? This plot armor is based on the personalities as game runes can only help. It will help Brolu get attention from women, leave the impression, and then everything will be within his hands. Not like he can't change his paths."

The playful demon's bloodline wanted to just play around. It was still beneficial for all the players including the game masters! Of course, its quests might be barely related to power-growth, but the relationship with strong women was the power on its own.

But even Tetsuya knew that it would take a while for this young knight as he was so naive despite being eighteen years old.

"I can imagine his first quest to simp for some woman," Tetsuya said while rolling his eyes.

"Simp? What does that mean?" Ashley asked in her natural voice, then Tetsuya briefly explained what this slang meant nowadays.

Then, he looked over the bandit bosses' plot armor.

[The Rough, but lovely! - Wanna fuck? No, then no. I am a gentleman.]

"..."

"..."

A silence ensued in the game master's minds. This one sentence explanation just told them what kind of future those bandit bosses' had. Ashley also compared it on the spot, but she couldn't mutter 'Cruel' at all as it was just how it was.

"At least you have changed them… They are gentlemen." Ashley said, her voice as if patting Tetsuya's shoulder.

[Bandit Boss' Roman has reached the end of his first eroge path. Two choices have been given to him.]

"What kind of choices?" It was Ashley's voice yet again as she operated the eroge game rune. Her voice tapped the window and the choices got displayed.

[1. Marry her and give her wife status.]

[2. Continue your relationship and turn her into a concubine.]

"Look, Tetsuya! Wife Buff! It's so nice!" Ashley pulled her partner's shoulder with her voice alone! It seemed like she was getting better with her euphonious voice. It conveyed her emotions so nicely!

"Sing me the explanation." Her partner casually answered while feeling the soft pillow.

It turned out that wife buff was really nice and worthy of investigating further.
