"The name of your cheat is called the Overlord System, host."
"Please check your character sheet for further details." Nancy replied. Our bored gamer did just that and some lines appeared before his eyes.
"DING!"

"I see now. Then this world shall be an easy prize in my hands." Clark smiled and continued happily on delivering the wild pig meat in his possession.
The trip took him more than 20 minutes to finish. Although this blessing was much too humble but something was better than nothing after all.
One can see that Han Sen and his sister have truly owed a lot of people over the years.
Our good gamer was about to go back to his simple home but the commotion on the gates of the village halted his steps at this time.
"STOP! We do not welcome the Hankala Village at this time of the day!"
"Return and take your men with you, Chief Peng!" A deep voice practically roared on the tall wooden walls of the village.
This has alarmed every man inside the Ascot Village and this was enough warning for them to support the humble gates of their homes.
"I guess these fools are coming to take revenge for their dead." Clark whispered to himself and just like the rest of the men, he backtracked to see the drama at the gates.
He never doubted that they would be calling for his name and head soon enough.
"We are here to seek justice for our fallen friends!"
"Three of them were brutally killed this afternoon and our hunters tracked the killer into your Ascot Village!"
"Send him out so that we can claim vengeance with only 1 death in return!"
"Deny us and there will be more bloodshed in both of our villages!" Chief Peng Zan shouted in return. If worse comes to worst, he would of course not attack tonight.
It would be folly to do that when Ascot Village was already forewarned of their coming. This village chief was smart enough to realize this truth.
In the end, Chief Peng was only using this threat in order to solve this matter as quickly as possible and hopefully, with no more deaths incurred on their Hankala Village.
"..." There was a brief pause for 2 minutes or so before another voice joined in this informal discussion. As usual, this newcomer roared his words just like all the participants of this debate.
"We have no knowledge of your allegations, Peng Zan!"
"Our Ascot Village harbors no killers in our midst!" This newly arrived man was of course village chief of Ascot.
"We have proof that says otherwise, Yao Chen!"
"Let your best tracker out and he shall determine that the killer of 3 of our men has indeed belonged to your damned village!" Chief Peng yelled once more.
"We are not dumb maggots, Peng Zan!"
"We will not allow any intrusion tonight!"
"Come back tomorrow morning and we shall talk this out once again!" Yao Chen, the village chief of Ascot, replied. The night gave absolute advantage to their attacker.
While the Hankala men could send arrows from the darkest corners of their perimeter, their homes inside Ascot Village remained sitting ducks in the end.
With all their wares in wood like their very own village walls, it would be so easy to burn them down from afar.
Thus, the men of Ascot would have to get out of their walls and seek the enemy in the dark if they wish to stop this from happening.
But they could of course abandon this village as a last resort.
"Are you really willing to declare war between our 2 villages, Yao Chen?!"
"And for what?! Just for 1 man alone! More than a thousand lives will be in jeopardy!" Chief Peng shouted his last tactic.
"A single man or not! I am not willing to throw him out to the wolves!"
"Start a war if you want! Know that my Ascot Village will not bend our asses to be fucked by you scoundrels!"
"We will fight to the last man, Peng Zan!" Chief Yao Chen roared and his hyperactive men from behind him were fueled by the prospect of battle and heroics.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! Let's kill them all!" The men from Ascot shouted and it could be seen from this action alone of how ignorant they were of how ugly any war could become.
Though the engagement would only be small with more or less a thousand participants but this would only guarantee the same gruesome face of warfare and not less.
"Then I hope that you will not regret your actions tonight, Yao Chen!" Chief Peng said at last before he led his men back to whence they came.
They rode not on any horses but came on foot. Horses were a commodity that both of these villages could not afford to own or domesticate by themselves.
The price was just too much for them all.
"Are you looking for me, Chief Peng?"
An immature voice echoed out and although this one did not shout just like the rest, it was indeed very audible in the silence that followed between the talk of the two village chiefs.
"What are you doing, boy!"
"Go back at this instant!" Chief Yao Chen admonished a thin and sickly looking young man.
He of course knew that this young man was the most likely suspect of tonight's affair but he defended him all the same.
Not for anything but only to save his perfect image in the minds of his men.
After all, what village chief could he be when he would just as easily discard anyone from his fold and throw him out into certain death.
They went against Yao Chen's principles of a good leader.
"I'm sorry, chief. But this is my mess."
"And I'm not fond of letting others clean up my mess for me." The young man replied and this was of course our very own protagonist at this time.
He opened the gates and nobody stopped him. Not even Chief Yao Chen himself. Before long, Clark was already facing almost 300 strong men before him.
