Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith



The three scavenged the camp area for any last items to take. They also looted what the kids that they eliminated dropped, which were only some cores.

After this, the three decided that the best course of action right now would be to start looking for the cave entrance again. It was what they were doing all this time anyways.

Before that, however, they wanted to go and see what was in the middle. Now that they were eliminated, there was no risk in going there. Although this also meant that there might not be a reward either, it wouldn't hurt to quickly check anyways.

Since they weren't too far away, it only took them a few minutes to get there. As they walked up to it, they suddenly heard the sound of distant voices.

"We finally made it to the middle!" A kid shouted in glee and relief, wearing a white robe with a small wand on his waist. He had short blonde hair and a pair of azure eyes.

As Lyrian and the others came closer, they saw that there was a total of 5 kids standing in the middle of the mountain. As they walked, they noticed one taking out a scroll.

"Okay! Listen up, everyone. This is where we will take rest for the day," The kid holding the scroll said as he pointed to somewhere on it."

Seeing this second kid, Alten couldn't help but say, "Wait... haven't we seen him before?"

The kid wore blue, luxurious clothing, having glasses sitting on the ridge of his nose as he spoke dignantly.

"Arthur?" Lyrian said, recognizing the boy.

By now, the three were already close enough for the other five kids to spot them. Arthur quickly stopped talking and looked up from his scroll as he heard his name.

"Oh... more examinees," Arthur hesitated for a bit, "Sorry, do I know you?" He confusedly asked.

"You! Where did you run off to!? Were you that scared!?" Another voice suddenly came from the side.

"Cedric?" Lyrian said again, this time in an even more confused tone.

Cedric quickly began storming toward Lyrian, before being stopped by another kid who grabbed his shoulder. This kid was very tall in stature, reaching 5'5 ft. which was giant for a 10-year-old. He was also big in size, like a brute of meat and muscle.

With a calm tone, he said, "What are you doing? Don't reach for your weapon." Realizing that Cedric had his hand on the hilt of his sword in his sheath.

Hearing this, Cedric forcefully shrugged off the brute's hand as he continued to storm at Lyrian, "Our business isn't finished. We never got to fight because of that damned tiger." He said, his brows curled in anger.

Still, he was over 20 meters away from Lyrian, when Alten looked back to see Lyrians reaction to this. 'Ay yai yai, here we go again with this bufoon.' He thought to himself as he looked at Lyrian, but just as his eyes landed on him, he was gone in the very next second.

Lyrian instantly dashed in front of Cedric, giving him a winding punch straight to the gut that threw him in the air with an abrupt force as his eyes rolled back into his skull and he spit out the saliva he had in his mouth, all the air in his lungs driven out at once.

Small gasps came from the crew of five as they saw this, "What the hell are you doing!?" Arthur immediately exclaimed, quickly running over to Cedric who fell to the floor 10 meters away.

"He asked for it," Lyrian said indifferently, shaking the hand that he used to punch Cedric.

Seeing this, even Alten was shocked, "What the hell? ..." He said as he stared at Lyrian. He felt afraid and confused at the same time.

'Hmm... did his sword mean that much to him?' Leon thought to himself as he looked at Lyrian.

"Even if he said he wanted to fight, you shouldn't just beat him up!" Arthur yelled after trying to shake the unconscious Cedric back awake.

Lyrian immediately replied, "You want to get beat up too?"

"Wh--what!?" Alten retorted, utterly confused.

"Okay! How about we all calm down here!" Another one of Arthur's crew of five spoke as he walked out in between everyone.

He wore the average leather armor and had brown hair, a spear attached to his back, "It seems you guys know each other, but we don't. How about instead of making enemies, we first introduce ourselves, huh?" He said with an awkward laugh, trying to ease the situation.

On saying this, everyone just looked at him oddly, no one saying a word, "Haha..." He scratched his head nervously, "Or maybe not..."

After a few more seconds of silence, Alten finally broke the current atmosphere of tension, "Arthur, I thought you didn't want to come to the forbidden lands... what happened?" He said, stepping forward.

Arthur stood up and brushed himself off before letting out a heaving sigh, "Well... after so many people left we didn't really have a chance at collecting all of the beast cores by ourselves, so the rest of the group decided to go into the forbidden lands as well." He said, looking around.

Alten also looked around, his eyebrow slightly raised in confusion, "The rest of the group? Where are they? In fact, didn't that idiot also have a group of his own? Where are all of them?"

Arthur paused slightly before speaking. "That's the thing, they all got eliminated on our way here. In fact, I and Cedric are the only other two from our original group of about 100 back in the starting place of the exam. We met my friends here during our expedition in the forbidden lands and decided to travel together, seeing as how we all had the same goals." He said, looking at his group.

"Okay... enough of all this! Tell me, Arthur, when are we going to take on one of the guardians?" The kid in the white robe questioned.

'The guardian?' Lyrian thought to himself on hearing this.
