My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death

Frank slept peacefully after the dream with Abraddon, which abruptly ended when he gave him the snacks and other things he brought from Earth.

When he woke up, the first thing he thought was…

​​

"Wait, how did I even give him the things? I don't even remember opening my Inventory…"

Indeed, now that Frank remembered it well, he had not opened his Inventory at all when he gave away the items to Abraddon, yet somehow, he was capable of…

"Are my memories blurry or…?" Frank just decided to check his Inventory, only to find that the things were gone. It seems that Abraddon had used some strange ability that let him just give away what he was going to give him. It was strange and made Frank wonder the true capabilities of a God such as him.

"If I remember correctly, the Gods of Earth were born due to Human Beliefs, while the Gods in Terra seem to have created Humans and other races instead, seemingly having been born before mortals… Their existence is true quite the mystery in this regard, and are not so easy to accept like the Gods on Earth…"

"Perhaps even due to this, the power of a God from Terra might be several times greater than any God from Earth, except a few, I guess…"

"Well, the strength and powers that could be used from world to world may change, or there might be laws that would prohibit a foreigner to use all of its power from its original world in another world. But it seems that thanks to my World Traveler Body Skill, I am not restricted by such things…"

Frank was in deep thinking mode, as he had such a peaceful sleep that his mind felt very clear now. And perhaps, due to having leveled up, his mind seemed to have become sharper as well.

"I am thinking way too much now, but that's good, I guess. Is this because I leveled up? My magic stat might also increase my mental capacity. Although I do not feel like I have become a genius. I doubt this increases my IQ or something. And I am pretty sure that if there was someone that could hear my thoughts would think that I am an idiot. I kind of am, I guess this is why I must be more cautious," thought Frank.

Frank woke up from bed with high spirits as he stretched his body a bit, glancing at the bed in front of him to find it empty, it seems that Cathyl and her children were already on the first floor having breakfast.

And just as Frank thought about it, he was called by someone.

"Frank! Come down! You're sleeping way too much!" said Annabelle.

"Is Frank-kun such a sleepyhead?" asked Asterion to Annabelle.

"Yeah, he can't get used to waking up early!" laughed Annabelle.

"Hm… Perhaps he's tired because of our hunt yesterday, he did most of the work with Ruby-chan," said Hilvera.

"I guess so…" said Annabelle, remembering how much of a pushover she was yesterday, her magic never managed to defeat not even a Horned Rabbit due to her terrible aim.

"He did a lot! Ah, I also want to go hunt today as well! Can we go, mom?" asked Asterion to Cathyl, who was eating a sandwich at his side.

"Maybe… But Frank has a meeting with a pope today, and afterward, he'll go to register in the Adventurer Guild. And do not forget that he has to attend to the crops with me too. He's quite busy, he won't be able to go hunt every day, you know?" said Cathyl.

"Hmmm… I guess that's right…" said Asterion.

"Can we go by ourselves then?" asked Hilvera.

"No, young lady. You two are far too weak, and from what I hear, you didn't even manage to kill a Horned Rabbit, Asterion?" asked Cathyl.

"Ah… Well, they're too fast!" said Asterion.

"But I got one with my dagger!" said Hilvera.

"Your dagger technique might be good that time, but how good would it be against a larger group? Horned Rabbits are often evasive, but if there is a strong male, they will try to impale you with their horns. It is way too dangerous if you don't go with Frank," said Cathyl.

"That's right, you two better stay in here, I can train you two in combat later in the week, so don't worry," said Gwendolyn.

Frank was far older than the kids, and Gwendolyn knew that he would be able to handle quite fine the Horned Rabbits, this is why he was given the task to hunt one two days ago (in Terra). However, Asterion, Hilvera, and Annabelle were far too young and inexperienced, and the strength that they exuded, unlike Frank, was extraordinarily little.

Just as the three kids sighed, as they desired adventure in their young hearts, Frank walked down the stairs.

"Frank!" called Asterion.

"Frank-kun!" called Hilvera.

"Frank!" called Annabelle.

"…Eh? Yes? Good morning everyone…" muttered Frank, as the three kids approached him while glancing at him with puppy eyes.

"We'll go hunting today as well, right?" asked Annabelle.

"Will you teach me how to fight?" asked Asterion.

"Frank-kun, I also want to learn magic!" said Hilvera.

"…Eh? (Why are they so clingy out of the sudden… Ah, they feel like my little siblings at this point… even Asterion to an extent, if I ignore the muscles…) Okay, okay, do not worry, we'll go hunt with Ruby today as well, even if there are a lot of things to do for me today," said Frank with a gentle smile.

"Yay!" said Annabelle.

"Nice! I will make sure to kill a Horned Rabbit this time, for sure!" said Asterion.

"Me too!" said Hilvera.

"Sigh… You're already taking the responsibility of the elder brother here, and it hasn't even been a week," said Gwendolyn.

"Well, Frank-kun is a nice kid, so it's obvious that the twins are attached to him. He's also an exceptional hunter, he brings free meat every day!" said Cathyl, she seemed a bit clingy of Frank too because thanks to him, there was free Horned Rabbit meat every day, which was often rather expensive to the commoners due to not many people having the capacity of hunting them as much as he.

"Yeah, I suppose the kid is very talented," said Gwendolyn.

Frank and the rest of the kids then continued breakfast as usual, until it was nine in the morning. Frank decided to take and get presentable for the priest, who was actually knocking on the door already.

Annabelle greeted the young black cat man wearing white robes with a curious expression.

"Huh? P-Priest-sama?!" she asked.

"Oh my, but it isn't Annabelle-chan. You have grown into a fine little girl, have you? Your future seems rather bright… I can sense that your Mana Core is strong, keep working hard," said the priest, Reuberto.

"…E-Eh? Okay… Come in," said Annabelle, a bit weirded out over the words of the high priest. Although they were praises, they all came out of nowhere, so it felt strange instead of uplifting.

Greeting Reuberto's sight was the beautiful house of Gwendolyn, and in the middle of the living room, there was a large wooden table where Gwendolyn and Frank were waiting for him.

"Oh my, have I come too late? Sorry for the delay. Today in the morning they came to pick up the priest that attacked you yesterday… Quite the handful he was, haha!" laughed Reuberto.

"Pick… him up?" asked Frank.

"Yes, due to his crime, which I reported to the authorities of the nation, he has revoked the title of priest, and he was made into a criminal slave for five years," said Reuberto as Gwendolyn served tea to his cup.

"That's… (Criminal Slave?! Wait, that much? Ah, well, he kind of deserves it, so I don't feel any remorse… But still, what is a criminal slave anyways?)" thought Frank.

And as if reading his mind, the high priest explained to Frank what a Criminal Slave truly was.

"A Criminal Slave is someone that has committed a crime and couldn't pay its sentence, so he is converted into a criminal slave and sold out into slavery, working in different areas until their sentence is over," said Reuberto with a smile.

"I see…" said Frank.

"Anyways, Reuberto, now that we are all here, it's time to speak things that are a bit more important," said Gwendolyn.

"Hm, indeed…" said Reuberto, glancing at Frank's eyes.
