I, Rick, the strongest human

I, Rick, The Strongest Human Author: The Distant Sky

【Introduction】

The human species, ranked last among the [-] races, has zero magic adaptability, can't use any magic, and can't even detect when someone uses magic.

Traveling to the world of Game Life 6000 years ago, his hometown was destroyed in the Great War. In order to survive in this dangerous world, Rick decided to become stronger.

Three years later, when the Ex-Machinas assembled their entire clan to attack the Dragon Elves, Rick was sitting on the bed and thinking hard about the chessboard.

"mmp! Why can't I even beat myself!"

Annoyed, Rick threw a stone into the sky, just hitting the dragon spirit.

Dragon fine species, pawn.

Ex-Machinas: ? ? ?

……

"Huby, why do you ask me to become so strong?"

Looking at Shubi, who looked expectant, Rick told the secret of becoming stronger with a serious face.

"100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km long-distance run, stick to it every day!"

"I've become more handsome and stronger!"

Chapter 1 Wrong way to open time travel (reset version)

——A long time ago, there seemed to be something called "the sun" in this world.

The blazing white flame exudes a long-lasting light, washing the sky blue and bright——

Yes, in the "history" of mankind, this is how it has been circulated.

However, I don't know when, the gods and the creatures they created have launched an endless war for the "one and only"——

The sun was destroyed, the earth was burned, all races were hostile to each other and fought with each other, dyeing the sky blood red.

This red color, like dark clouds, continues to cover this land full of wars and killings.

……

"It's such a terrible world..."

Hiding in the house, Rick's confused eyes looked up at the cloudy red sky through the window.

He has been in this world for ten years.

From the initial joy and excitement, to the later astonishment, bewilderment, and——

fear!

Before time travel, he was a senior game geek, playing games and chasing fans is one of his few pleasures...

Unlike ordinary people, he has a soft spot for things related to "time travel" and "adventure" since he was a child.

Many people will give up these "unrealistic" fantasies due to various factors when they grow up, or during the process of growing up.

But Rick is different.

Even though he has graduated from university for several years, he still has such "unrealistic" fantasies every day.

Longing for adventure, longing for time travel, longing for a different life.

But when he really crossed over, he realized how naive he was at the beginning——

how stupid-

……

In the narrow room illuminated by dim lights, the boy was holding a chess piece.

There was only one boy in the house.

But the young man looked at a certain person in the dark depths, thinking seriously.

Alone in the room, the boy imagined an absolute strongman, and skillfully placed the chess pieces on the board.

This is a habit he has developed since he was five years old.

——Isolate yourself from the outside world, stay in the room, and play the "game" alone.

... No, not alone.

Holding the chess piece in his hand, the young man looked at the black shadow in front of him, so confident.

Yes, isn't this his opponent in front of him?Games are never something that one person can play——

Just like a "dream", you only need to close your eyes, and the opponent you wish for will appear in front of your eyes.

But in the eyes of others, the boy has always been alone.

As if he didn't care about the strange eyes around him at all, the boy was playing games with "that person" with great concentration.

"She" is strong.

In the five consecutive years of fighting, the boy has not even won a single victory.

But the boy didn't feel discouraged at all, but continued to challenge the opponent.

——Next time, I will definitely defeat you!

This is the first and purest thought of a ten-year-old boy.

……

It's actually... ridiculous, isn't it?

The boy thought to himself.

It has been ten years since I came to this world, and the lofty ambitions I had when I first traveled were broken by the cruel reality. Now, like those adults who are desperate because of the destruction of their hometown and the death of their relatives, they are escaping from reality——

No, those people are different from me.

He vetoed the idea he just had, and the boy gently pushed forward a piece representing the "castle" on the chessboard.

"Wise choice!"

Seeing the boy's actions, the dark shadow let out a hearty laugh.

The young man bowed his head and said nothing, yes, as long as the "king" can survive, then no matter how big the sacrifice is, it can be tolerated.

The "king" is the only winning point and the only key point to end the game. The existence of other chess pieces is to create victory. For this reason, even annihilation is a matter of course.

"General!"

The man in the shadow shouted, and moved the pawn representing the "Queen" to the right.

……

Are you going to lose?

The boy thought so, but soon he realized something was wrong.

...Not yet, I haven't lost yet, and I still have a chance to win—

The opponent's "Queen" can eat her own "King" in the next step, and the surrounding pawns and bishops block the king's way, but if she avoids to the right, she can escape.

It's just that if this is the case, the "Queen" behind the "King" will be eaten by the opponent's "Queen" without any suspense.

Then, your own "king" can also take the opportunity to eat the opponent's "queen".

That is... to replace the opponent's "queen" with one's own "queen".

The defeat is already obvious, but if the queen is replaced, there is still hope of victory, and the opponent may not choose to eat his own queen...

Then, let's go down like this?

The boy touched the chess piece representing the "king" with his finger, and then hesitated.

...It shouldn't be like this.

Was the victory of the "king" obtained in exchange for the "queen" and the "castle"...?

"Why...don't you act? If you don't act again, it will be overtime?"

The person in the shadow seemed unable to understand the boy's hesitation, and made a urging voice.

"Ah...is it..."

The boy seemed to have made some kind of decision, and picked up the piece on the chessboard that represented the "king".

"you lose!"

Gently covering his "king" on the opponent's "king", the boy said seriously to the person in the shadow.

If the victory was obtained by abandoning the queen, it would have been a failure---!

"……Clam?"

Even though he couldn't see the face clearly, the boy could still feel the astonished expression on the other party's face.

"Ha, hahahahaha... Are you joking in this way?"

Indeed, no matter what kind of chess game, there is no such way of playing.

There is no doubt that the young man's chess is "violating the rules".

"If you violate the rules, you will be punished directly?"

"If one wins and one loses, it's a draw, right?"

Speaking innocently like a child, yes, how could there be such a statement?

"what are you saying……"

The person in the shadow couldn't help retorting loudly, but his voice gradually lowered as if he noticed the other person's focused and serious expression.

"Well, yes, if it's a pure game, this kind of play is indeed - it is against the rules."

That was the last sound the boy made in "that world".

The next moment, the boy's world changed——

……

"what happened?"

His mouth was full of blood.What the nose smells is the smell of a burnt person.An abyss of silence surrounds my ears.The skin felt the scorching heat.

The boy crawled out of the arms of his mother, whose arms were scorched, weakly holding him, and looked around——

What caught my eyes was the devastated, hell-like scene on earth——

That huge village once had thousands of people, but now, there are only ruins and corpses covered in blood and dust.

Not just my own "world", but my parents... family... villagers...

In the eyes of the "monsters" fighting in the sky, everyone's "world" is being swept away like garbage.

...or, dust, to be more appropriate.

For those "monsters", even the attention will not notice these "ants" under their feet.

It's just that the "aftermath" that they are accustomed to has completely destroyed the world of these "ants".

——Who cares?

They are just ants, just dust, and their existence will not be recognized, except for the "ants" themselves, except for the "dust" itself, no one will remember or care about them.

Suddenly, the smoke and dust in front of the standing boy was torn apart, and a figure fell heavily on the rubble.

The figure that doesn't care about the boy——

Really just inadvertently noticed the line of sight cast on him.

Even in the flames and dust of the explosion, even in the situation where the human figure can only be barely recognized.
