The Game Rune System

A soft sigh rang out within the unique place.

This unique place was exactly Tetsuya's mind where Ashley's soul resided. She was looking at him working out in the forest! He was equipped with self-made tools to work out, and his stats related to Tank Class were going up at astonishing speed.

It was great to see the handsome beast working out like that, but Ashley was bothered by his goal. Instead of getting a somewhat smarter goal, Tetsuya set up the whole slave business to be destroyed while being controlled by his emotions.

It wasn't like there was no place for him, but… "Idiot won't go back on his words."

The first goal should be to get some clothes, but Tetsuya wouldn't dare to go around the world with the slave business being standard practice. It was undoubtedly the world's fault! Before, risk had to be taken, but now, he worked out like a mad man to get some strength!

"I should work too… A Demon Mage is my class… Let's see." The Game Rune has read memories of both Ashley and Tetsuya, then formed an 'outline' for the rune. It was a setting that could be polished and strengthened.

Since Tetsuya was more knowledgeable about these games, Ashley could only focus on her class that didn't sound that foreign at all. There was part of the continent where 'Mages' were known, but it was so far away that no one would understand it here. However, people who used runes had all different terms depending on the continent.

As her demon mage class was tightly related to the bloodline, Ashley threw her mind to remember everything she knew about demons. These were one of the five races that dominated the worlds in the past! That was what Ashley knew from the old records! The demonic race had strong bodies and unique runes that worked with negative emotions.

They were all playful, but there had to be a reason as to why her ancestor was particularly specified as playful.

Thus, Ashley did her best to remember everything.

"It should be impossible for me to influence emotions in my current state. Since I am connected to Tetsuya, I should create skills that work with his body." Ashley whispered to herself, then remembered her initial questions about MMORPG and MOBA Games.

"Tetsuya said MOBA has one passive and four skills… MMORPG has more, but these two are different games… We lack the MOBA BOARD to play it, but from the quest content, this game should be used solely for the battle. MMORPG is like games for growth… Hmm…"

There was no board, but Tetsuya and Ashley could challenge their opponents to one versus one MOBA Game with little different rules. The key in this rune was exactly the board that was like the personal space unique to them.

Ashley realized this very quickly. "Board is so strong! This is like a personal world! I hope the rune won't meddle too much with its settings as this is way too good!" Her body happily swayed from side to side as she learned this, then went to the skill creation.

As the game master, Ashley could create skills that were appropriate for her class. Thus, creating weird holy magic would be impossible! She then thought about simple energy manifestation.

Raising her palm and then spreading her fingers wide, Ashley closed her eyes and channeled her inward energy, which was currently called 'MANA' by her game rune. She then opened her purple eyes to see the manifestation of her mana in the same color.

It was like a slithering snake chasing after its tail!

"So easy?" Ashley couldn't believe her feat!

[You have created skill! - Q: Demon Snake Rush.]

"Tetsuya! Tetsuya!" It was a feat that had to be spoken about with her partner! Ashley called immediately while not believing her own feat at all, but Tetsuya was devoured by the training mood.

"Asshole." She then insulted him.

"What?" And he answered immediately as if she was using a magic spell! It was unbelievable, so Ashley forgot about her question momentarily, then mumbled out the problem. "Why didn't you react to me calling your name?" Her head already titled.

"Only I can call myself an asshole." Tetsuya didn't coat his words at all. "But I am nice to my partners, so I will pass this one. What do you want?" He asked carelessly while wiping his forehead full of sweat.

"I want to know why there is 'Q' in front of my new skill?" This question could be answered on the spot, but Tetsuya narrowed his eyes. He also needed skill, and what he wanted the most right now was the strong punch to deliver for anyone who dares to disagree with him.

He thought about it, then the message appeared in front of his eyes.

[You have created skill - Q: Ego Punch.]

A sneer spread on Tetsuya's face, "Exactly."

The new skill was also created by the second game master, which was an easy process. Ashley was still astonished, though. But she then asked about the 'q' meaning!

"I told you there are four skills and one passive in MOBA Games, right? There are also other spells and stuff, but yeah, those four skills are called 'Q' 'W' 'E' and the ultimate one 'R'." Tetsuya briefly answered his partner, then leaned down to go for a leisure series of push-ups. He was doing it slowly with his mind set on her beautiful voice.

"But I wanted to create a skill for MMORPG Rune…" Ashley said a little worriedly… "Could it be that we can only have four skills?" The reason for her worry immediately escaped her lips as she asked.

Her purple eyes then narrowed as she saw Tetsuya's focused expression. It was handsome and cute to her, but this person was too full of himself.

After he spat his saliva, Tetsuya reassured his partner. "I just need one skill to fuck up those slave masters." He forgot about the villagers as women from these weren't his type. He liked women with slender beauty. "My Ego Punch will take down everyone. This Tank Class will probably dare to force me to get some CC skills for W and E, but my ultimate will be Ego Ascension. As for others, I will think about it. This is my power, so I should give a thought to its choices. Don't you think so, Ashley?"

The ultimate skill completely stupefied Ashley, the royal demon descendant.

-

"This world has seen me naked for too long. I also have had enough of these fucking fruits." Tetsuya spat down his words again after the whole month of training passed. He also threw some seeds from an unusual apple.

The game rune's power has been understood by both Ashley and Tetsuya during this whole month. While the latter promised to make this game system more versatile and truly like the MMORPG system, he got so swallowed by the training mood that working out and eating was the only thing he did for the past month.

Ashley was far better as she practiced her Q Skill for the whole month and got higher mana and achievements out of it.

Thus, it was time to introduce Ashley to the first MMORPG feature.

"We will go with potions." Tetsuya proudly spoke.

"Sorry to break your bubble…" Ashley rolled her eyes as she said. "But potions were already here… There are many runes related to healing." If there was no rune related to healing, Ashley would question her ancestors and other strong people's descendants!

Such an answer was expected by Tetsuya!

"Exactly, the 'healing runes' are needed for these, but we have these in our game rune. See? We aren't limited to one use. How could I even be limited?" His words caused Ashley to blush softly, then she nodded without bothering more about her slight mistake. Then, she asked about Tetsuya's exact plan.

It turned out to be a relatively simple one. "We have to gather blood." Tetsuya felt like throwing the blood onto the purple cube would get the job done. He told this to Ashley, who couldn't really comment on that.

She just thought a little, then asked, "Whose blood are we going to modify?" Then, moments later, Ashley regretted her question.

"I am going to modify my blood, but that's for personal use, my partner." Tetsuya wiped off the dirt from his body, then stomped on the ground with a confident step. "Before I do so, I would rather get some experience to see if this world would dare to meddle with my plans, so gorilla's blood should be sufficient for some experiments."

There was only one person who was a gorilla! "No… There is more…" Ashley just hoped that Tetsuya wouldn't go far against those villagers if some of them gathered to bully him. She then got questioned personally by the ego asshole.

"Another feature of MMORPG is the minimap. Since you are in soul form, how about you try to use your senses for a minimap?"

"Minimap… I think I can do it with the assistance of the game rune." Ashley felt like there were endless possibilities with the game rune, and it was already kinda fun. She wanted to experiment on her own, so the answer was positive!

An hour later, Ashley and Tetsuya found themselves in front of the village.

This time, it was a clear day, so both of them could see many people working around… It already brought some worry to Ashley's heart, but Tetsuya just nodded to himself, unlike her.

"Not my type at all." He spoke about villager ladies that he wanted to have a great future with just a month ago. His image of these women was more like plump and voluptuous ones, but these were a tad more muscular, so Tetsuya just closed his eyes briefly.

But it didn't mean that the rest wouldn't spot him.

The villager man, the gorilla, was on his way towards him.

"Why the fuck are you naked?! You… pussy." He stopped his speech for a while, then insulted Tetsuya solely because his manhood had an ego on its own.

"Now that you know the difference between you and me, be quiet and listen. I want your blood. Just one liter will suffice." Tetsuya demanded!

"A damn pussy with thin arms dares to demand from me?!" Gorilla went mad, his hair going up in anger! "I will fucking punish you!" Then, he rushed forth with his new form.

"Punish me? Hah." The laughter of ego sovereignty. "You haven't even seen my full arsenal yet!"

It was time for Ego Punch!
