Hero System! Transported to Another World, page 9
The men and women who were waiting for the man to exit all bowed. They all seemed to respect him very much.
As soon as the man exited, he spoke, " I don't need you all to bow. I'm just here to do my job. Tell me, where are that Lass Hana and the new one that she is taking care of."
One of the men looked towards the old man. He had long flowing blond hair and a chiseled jaw. At this moment, the man's face was filled with slight annoyance, "Master Zhun!"
The old man was Master Zhun, the appraiser who could look into people's powers.
He looked towards the blond man and smile, "Little Gold. I've known you since you were a child. I can tell you one thing. I still favor Hana, she should be the one. No one else. But leave that for now. The appraising shall start in a few seconds."
As soon as Master Zhun spoke, The doors of the room opened. Hana entered the room, followed by Alex
-----
No one:
Me: I require power stones.
I shall head out now.
Chapter 20: Nothing | Hero System! Transported to Another World
The blond man looked towards the door with annoyance in his face. He looked at Hana then towards Alex. His eyes opened wide when he saw Alex walk side by side with Hana. But just before he could say anything, Master Zhun Spoke.
"Hana, I see that you're just in time. Now come along, bring that lad to me. I want to end this as quickly as you want to end it too." Master Zhun smiled as he indicated for the two to come to him.
The two nodded and followed Master Zhun. Alex looked around at his surroundings and noticed many seemed annoyed by his presence, while some smiled at Alex.
Alex looked towards all of them and greeted them with a smile, 'It doesn't matter if they like me or not. A smile won't do that much harm.' Alex thought as he smiled.
He then looked towards where they were going, completely oblivious of the fact that some people looked even more annoyed after seeing Alex's smile.
As Alex and Hana entered the entrance, following Master Zhun. The entrance closed up behind them.
A woman walked towards the middle of the 6 other. She had purple, wavy long hair. She was tall and slim but she could see some defined muscles on her arms. The woman looked at the entrance and laughed, "I like him."
The blond man looked at the woman and said in a deep voice, "Midnight, What do you mean like him? As soon as he came, a smug smile appeared on his face. Is that what you mean? I bet he is a weakling as well. I'm just ready to laugh as soon as Master Zhun calls him a C-Rank." The man laughed as he looked towards the wall.
Midnight smiled, "Well, Gold. Are you just jealous of Hana? She did get a man who seems to ticks all the marks. I can't help but be a little jealous of Hana." Midnight had a sultry smile on her face.
"I can't help but think about stealing him for myself."
Hearing Midnight's words, Gold walked outside of the door. He was clearly very angry. "Gold, Don't be so annoyed. It doesn't matter what the minority says. They still are a minority. The majority have already said that they would want you as the future head so it doesn't matter if she has a new toy."
Gold looked towards the girl with anger but just before he could say anything about it, he heard another voice.
"Gold, You should relax a bit. Go and take a breather. I'm sure that by the time you calm down, they will be done with it all and you'll come back just in time to see everyone laugh at how powerless that man actually is." The man who spoke up was standing in the corner. His hair was white in color. The man, even though he had a big muscular built, seemed to be blending in properly with the background. Even if one were to search with full attention, they might not have even noticed the man.
Gold looked towards the man and smiled, "You're right. I shall go and take a breather. Don't want to show an angry expression towards the lower rank leaders. Thank you, Vis. " Gold said as he walked out of the room.
Vis nodded and watched Gold leave the room. He then looked towards the others, a smile on his handsome face.
-Within the entrance-
Alex and Hana walked close behind Master Zhun.
"Now tell me, boy. How powerful do you think you are?" Master Zhun said as he continued to walk in front of the two. Alex looked confused by Master Zhun's question."I… I'm not so sure. I guess I might be a bit more powerful or as powerful as Rhino… If I remember correctly, he was in a state of mind control. So he didn't think properly. If Rhino was using his brains properly, he would have won. So, for now… I guess I'm as powerful as him."
'Why does he sound distracted? Don't tell me…' Hana looked towards Alex with a confused expression.
Alex, even when he was answering the question seemed to be very distracted. He was looking at his prompts. Something bothered him.
[Illusion detected.]
[Does the player want to break the illusion?]
Alex was confused about what was happening. 'Now that I think more, this cave-like interior… We've been walking for some time now, this building didn't look large enough for something like this to continue for so long.
Alex looked towards the prompts but just before he was about to press it, he noticed that they were heading towards a shrine-like area.
Master Zhun sat on the shrine, a small white ball spun around him.
Alex looked towards Hana who seemed to have a calm expression, she seemed to have seen this before and was used to it. Alex also smiled when he thought about all of this being an illusion. He knew that he could break it any time so he would save it for later just in case.
"Come," Master Zhun said as he indicated Alex to come towards him.
Alex looked towards Hana, who nodded at him, telling him to go. Alex also nodded back and walked Toward Master Zhun.
"Sit." Master Zhun said as his wrinkly face curled up into a smile.
"Now, give me your hand and relax. The more you relax the better. I shall now look into your fate and see how far you can go."
Alex nodded and have to master Zhun his arm. Alex then closed his eyes and tried to relax as much as he could.
Master Zhun smiled and took Alex's hand, "Hmm, it will now begin." He said as a blue light illuminated from his finger.
Alex heard a prompt.
[teller powers detected. Teller's power, no hostile intent, however, it breaches the system. Powers closed.]
Alex furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the system.
Master Zhun looked towards Alex with a horrified expression. But quickly calmed down before anyone would notice. "Hmmm." He said as he continued to hold Alex's hand. But now the blue light was gone it just seemed to be an act.
"Hmm. Your future, I see many things. But at the same time, it seems pretty simple."
Alex opened his eyes and looked towards Master Zhun. A confused look in his eyes. "What about my abilities?"
Master Zhun looked towards Alex with a conflicted gaze and said, "Well, I don't know… It didn't show me your powers. I would normally see a certain shape when looking into powers. A powerful man had a smaller object. A weak one had a bigger object. The objects would be different, depending on their personality. But for you… I saw nothing… There was nothing at all. Like you weren't bound by any object."
Alex looked towards Master Han with a complicated gaze. He didn't know what to say. He looked at Hana, who also seemed to be confused.
"Well, I guess we will leave your awakened powers to time. As you get stronger, your rank will increase accordingly to what you show. So I guess it really isn't that bad." Master Zhun smiled as he looked towards Alex.
Hen then looked at Hana, I guess we can just end this here. The meeting is soon and that is more important. I just want to get it over with." He said as he got up from the ground.
Alex also stood up and walked towards Hana. 'I think he saw nothing because the system prevented him… But now, I'm more curious about who he is. To have powers that nearly breached the system, this man is dangerous. However, the system, said that he had no hostile intent so I guess I can trust him.' Alex made the decision to trust Master Zhun.
The same reason he didn't break the illusion, he had enough trust to believe that this wouldn't be harmful to him.
The three walked back to the cave like a tunnel from which they entered. 'But to make such an illusion… I don't think this is the powers of Master Zhun, I think this power belongs to someone else and I presume they must be trustworthy individuals if they make such illusions for Master Zhun.' Alex said to himself.
"It sure is lively." Master Zhun said as the doors opened. Alex looked outside and was surprised to see a lot more people standing outside, that there were when he walked inside. He looked towards Hana who seemed to sigh when she saw the people. "It seems like they also brought representatives of the lower ranks. I was told that there would only be high ranked awakened here but… I hope this just ends quickly."
Alex laughed when he heard Hana. But after seeing a certain prompt appeared, Alex's smiled turned into a horrified expression.
[Human- Mind-Controlled]

Thank you for reading this far!
I have properly followed my schedule and have uploaded a chapter, 7 hours earlier than yesterday!
*only asking for power stones as payment lmao*
Chapter 21: 'Freak' | Hero System! Transported to Another World
As soon as Alex looked towards the small gathering of people, his face was covered in horror. A certain prompt appeared in front of him.
[Human - Mind-controlled]
Alex quickly looked at Hana but before he said he he wanted to confirm what he saw. Alex looked back towards the crowd to be sure of what he saw but was confused to see that the prompt was gone. Alex, however, felt restless. 'It's not like this powerful of a system can just make a random error. Does that mean that there was someone who was controlled for a split second? I don't know how that happened but I will keep my faith in the system and say that what I saw was real. It means I need to tell Hana.'
Alex looked at Hana and said,"I don't know why but I think History might repeat itself."
Hana turned towards Alex and said, "What do you mean history might repeat itself today?" She then quickly looked at the crowd but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.
"I can see that there are many people here but I don't think that something bad could happen here. The last time was a random mind controlling reaper that just happened to get to the facility. I do have a question on how It entered and similar but I don't think that a place like this bureau can be infiltrated by a mere reaper… Don't stress, I will keep an eye out but I don't think anything like that will happen."
Alex knew that Hana wouldn't completely believe his words so but he wanted to at least make her more aware of the situation. 'I'll just have to be ready to use might any second. I might have fewer health points and mana because of the de-buff from today morning but It doesn't matter. But I can still use might to protect myself and maybe even these people if they are attacked.' Alex said as he was on the prompt of Might. The words [Use] came in front of him. Alex was ready to press that at any moment.
Master Zhun looked towards the crowd and said, "You all are early. I guess It is to hear about the appraisal of the new awakened."
As soon as he said those words the crowd had their complete attention on Alex. They wanted to hear what he had.
Master Zhun sighed and smiled, "well, you will all be disappointed. I don't know. The appraisal was nothing. My powers weren't even allowed to penetrate any part of Alex. It just dissipated." Alex looked at Master Zhun and said to himself, 'So that's how the system prevented him from seeing into my powers.'
The crowd looked towards Master Zhun with confused expressions. They then changed their gaze to Alex.
"Has this ever happened before?"
"Does that mean that only he knows his powers."
"This has happened before, right?"
The people said in a confused manner.
Master Zhun smiled once more and replied, "Indeed, something similar did happen before. It wasn't comparable to completely cutting my powers off, but something like this did happen." He looked towards Hana.
Hana looked at the crowd and sighed, she then looked at Alex, "Welcome to my world of isolation. They either like you or they hate you to their guts. I've never seen anyone in between."
Alex nodded and looked at the crowd. It didn't matter much to him about how people felt. He had already experienced a life of being isolated by others.
Master Zhun looked at the crowd once more and smiled," I think you all are now satisfied to hear about the new awakened we have. So… Why don't we just go and start the meeting, the sooner the better." His wrinkly face showed signs of annoyance on top of his smile. It looked like Master Han also disliked these crowds.
Hearing Master Zhun's words, the lower rank leaders slowly emptied the rooms. Only the high ranked stayed behind.
"Ah, the youth. How I wish to be young and powerful again." Master Zhun laughed as he looked at the remaining people in the room.
Alex looked at everyone and said to himself, 'I don't think any of them are weak enough to be mind-controlled easily. It might be one of the lower rank leaders who are infected. For now, at least it seems like they haven't been completely controlled or were in the process. I will have to keep an eye on them once the meeting begins.'
Gold looked at Alex with some anger and annoyance in his eyes. He turned to the door and said as he walked out, "Freaks."
Behind him, 2 more followed. Both looked at Alex with anger.
"What did I do?" Alex let out a confused mumble.
Hana turned towards Alex and a small smile peaked on her face, "You did nothing. They are either jealous or annoyed. I have my entire life as experience dealing with them, ignore them. It's no use entertaining them, ignore,"
Alex nodded in agreement when he heard Hana, he could do nothing but ignore them. It was the only logical action to take.
A man walked up to Alex and smiled, Alex, even though he was a bit surprised by the man's sudden action smiled back.
"Hmmm" The man looked at Alex from top to bottom. Alex, although a bit surprised also had a better look at the man.
The man was around 170 cm tall, and his most prominent feature was his eye patch. He also had scars all over his face and had an overall scare demeanor.
Hana looked at the man and sighed, "Shawn, at you could have done this from afar as well. Why get so uncomfortably close?"
The man's name seemed to be Shawn. He looked towards Hana and a small smile formed on his face, "Hehe. I didn't know that the cold queen could say that. What happened to change you so quickly?" He then looked towards Alex and slowly walked towards the room, still mumbling, " A handsome lad, tall and fit come in and you change instantly. Ahh, and I thought that it would be Gold."
Alex looked towards Hana with a confused expression. Hana sighed, "No one knows. If it wasn't for his powers, I don't think people would be able to deal with him. From what I've seen, he might just be acting like a crazy person. But again, he might just be drunk."
The remaining 3 in the room looked at Master Zhun.
Master Zhun smiled when he looked at the 3, "You need not do anything, I am safe. Ryan is with me. I shall ask you to take care of Alex here. He might have made new enemies, protect him when you can."
Alex looked at Master Zhun with confusion, "Why protect me?"
Master Zhun smiled and said, "Nothing. I'm just looking out for a newbie."
-----
I'm here to announce something huge.
We won WPC gold!
Thank you all for voting for this novel, It's super motivating when I see that support you people give.
I have some high hopes for this novel in the future so I hope I can continue to get the support from you people.
Thank you!
Chapter 22: Words From the Author | Hero System! Transported to Another World
**Please read all of this, it is important.**
Hey readers!
The author here to say a few things.
I got the notification for winning the Gold for WPC and I can't thank you all of that. It means the world and more that you all voted and read my novel.
You all have been such wonderful readers who have supported me and even motivated me to write more.
I am a student, plus my finals are soon (17 days). But it's not yet confirmed if they will happen or not. I'm here to tell you all that, in 8 days, I'll decide to either do chapters per day depending on the number of power stones or I'll do daily uploads. Why 8 days? The decision on whether exams will happen or not will be taken on that day.
If I don't have exams, I'll be more than free to write more. If I have exams, I can only follow my daily schedule at max.
I'm taking a break for today so I can relax my brain. The thought of exams (especially when schools don't care about us enough to even help us revise and leave it all to us) is stressful so I thought that I'd reward myself for the WPC gold and take this one day break.
I hope you all understand and once again, Thank you [3
ps. I am online on my discord server most of the time so we can all talk there (I got so excited about making the server, I even made Hana, Alex and Mary emojis for it!). I love hearing your opinions and talking to you all.
Chapter 23: The Three | Hero System! Transported to Another World
One of the three walked towards Alex and smiled, "It will be harsh for you. Some will hate you while some will love you. I'm Nitro, a S rank awakened." The man then points towards the man and the woman behind him, "The beautiful Woman is Midnight and the lad is Buster. They are both A-rank awakened and my juniors. I hope you all get along."
Alex smiled and shook Nitro's hands, "I'm Alex, and it's very nice to meet you. Midnight and Buster, Nice to meet you two as well."
