The GM Has Logged Into A Different World - Chapter 3

『Third day at prison life』

The guard who came last night was in charge in guarding at night, after getting my meal I add a check to the guard. When I use a skill the black bread and vegetable soup was changed, it was a staple grains bread and bird Gullah soup this time. I don’t know the conditions. When night came the outside became noisy, when I peek outside from the lattice window I hear the voice of the excited soldiers that was merrymaking. They seem to have made a profit on the war. War is such a thing, killing a person and making noise with the money which they seize. Experiencing a long-time-peace-mindset from my world then after that war just comes by, I can’t adapt to that. A lot of the cruelty of the past wars is still passed down. Presently there is no war. I have fallen asleep immediately while hearing their rowdy voices. Morning comes, and also the morning guard.

「I woke up a little early, the morning atmosphere was clear and it always felt so refreshing. It’s today’s meal?」

「Aah. Those trash piles up when people gather」^[TN#1]

The guard left after some few conversation, I then used a skill. I thoroughly enjoy the white bread and the lightly-salted vegetable soup which was turned into good quality and ended my meal. The difference between the diluted vegetable soup and the proper vegetable soup is too big. After finishing the meal with Item Skill on hand, I heard a lot of steady footsteps nearing my place when I was thinking how to escape from here using GM setting. I put all items that I manifested quickly into the Item Box, I took some dirt from the wall and put it on my face and hands to disguised myself as not to look healthy. Though the guard who brought the poor-looking meal last night wasn’t able to tell, it’s because facial gloss was doubted well.^[TN#2] It was godsend that it was dim at that time, but currently my surrounding is bright. I have to do this so I wouldn’t be suspected.

「Oi, I’ll open this up, so don’t try any useless resistance. If you show any funny movements I’ll make your head fly up in the air」

Using an intimidating voice, I was made to lean on the wall. I saw the prison door opening while I’m in a state where my head is dropped and can only nod. The door makes a *gachari*^[TN3#] and it opened, I watch the soldier enter while showing that there isn’t any willpower to resist. The soldier wore an armor which was different from the guard and seems to be slightly on the good quality side. The sword looks good but I didn’t stare at it too much as I don’t want to be beaten by it. Because I didn’t attach 【Invincibility】 on me, it’s best not to receive any form of pain. When the soldier received the new collar from the robed guy behind him, he starts to put it onto my neck. The new collar wasー *Bachi*^[TN#4] the collar shattered.

「Tch! isn’t this also useless! Are you doing it properly!」

「Ha! We’ve done our best, we used materials with a better quality than the last time but even this to be of no use…」

It isn’t a problem on the material used. I didn’t way it, but. The soldier flings me against the wall in the way that seems hateful and comes back to the outside of the prison.

「gehoっ…!^[TN#5]」

「Why do I have to do something like this?! This mysterious guy who is just a useless thing should be disposed off earlier!」

「Because it is unprecedented desu node…. Yes…. There is a risk that this fellow would momentarily run wild and may knocked me and the guards down…」

「Then enslave it as soon as possible! You understand!! Now go!!」

A soldier yells at the robed guy. Even in other worlds there will always be a PawaHara^[TN#6]. I feel sorry for the useless effort that those fellows. I wait for the soldier to leave while I who was slammed onto the wall crouch down by the shock on my back… Of course I put a check marker on the hooded guy via Map.^[TN#7] I change the color on the soldier in particular to differentiate it from the others. I set the HP/MP Automatic Recovery in Passive Skill after I’ve finish checking and restore my physical strength.

「tte e… He hit me with all his might… However… I wasn’t noticed even when it was bright.」

The camouflage seems to have gone well. Because I wanted to eat a delicious meal, I utilized a Skill, but I didn’t think that such problem will pop out. I really want to take a bath. The Magic Room is even usable; a bath is installed in the private room so I’m free to enter. But if I became clean I’ll be doubted as expected. I wipe the dirt off my face with my arm; the collar that fell in a short while ago has come into my view after I thinned off the dirt. The collar which seems to be quite firm, it was torn off from the middle and it looks like it’s not usable anymore. Can it be used as a fake collar if the broken part is reinforced with a thread? Let’s keep it for the time being.

《Broken Collar: It seems to have been covered with magic, but the resistance was too strong, the collar by which was repelled was torn off. The magic dissolved and it is now unusable. Rarity: 【C-】》

Was it different from the pan and the meal to have such a degree of rarity? The reason why it is a minus is that I’ve broke it off. I use the GM setting that I didn’t use so far when I put the collar away in the Item Box.

《Stealth》

When I strongly wished it in my mind, my body became semitransparent. It’s a success! A GM-Only ability 《Stealth》 It’s one of the frequently used ability in order to hide from public eyes. A certain snake which doesn’t accept the olfactory sense and every perceptions ability shockingly.^[TN#8] I also don’t need a cardboard box.^[TN#9] It tried touching the wall but it’s not possible to pass through it, It’s the same for the grate. When I was going to give up cancel the skill, I find a movement in the corner of the prison.

*chi chi chi chi*.

(A mouse… such an insanitary place. To be here, so weird…^[TN#10])

While I was observing the mouse I became aware in a certain thing. Can’t I share 《Stealth》 with this fellow? Just as 《Stealth》 was used, as it turned out, he wasn’t able to notice my existence. Even if I’ll approach to the mouse normally, it wasn’t able to see the present me so it didn’t give any signs of escaping. When I reached with my hands to catch it, 《Stealth》 is immediately cancelled. When action such as an attack or capturing is preformed, it seems that 《Stealth》 would be released. Despite the mouse being surprised, when <<Stealth>> is used once again, the mouse also became semitransparent with me this time. Let’s try jumping as a test. Even after landing, 《Stealth》 it is not cancelled. Next, I try to let the mouse that I held in my hand go outside the grate. The 《Stealth》 on the mouse was cancelled, as it doesn’t understand what just happened it made a *kiyorokiyoro*^[TN#11] movement. I cancelled 《Stealth》 and I lean on the wall again and think carefully.

「《Stealth》 is usable. I can share the effect If I’m touching it, better not to expect anything if it would work on larger objects. It will be fortunate if it’s possible…」

It’s scary as it match the vehicle that was also called stealth. In this case, I’m the one to be feared.

「Today’s the third day… To think that there are only four days left……」

I’ll make use of my 《Passive Skills》 and 《Active Skills》 to escape before it’s too late. It may be too early, but at this rate being earlier is more fortunate if looking at the distant future.

【Increase Movement Speed】（Medium）
【Physical Ability Up】（Extra-large）
【Close-Quarter-Combat Ability Up】（Large）
【Stealth Performance Up】（Large）
【Auto MP Recovery】（Medium）
【Auto HP Recovery】（Medium）
【Sneak Attack】
【Swift Wind】
【Wave Sword】
【Countdown Bomber】

I set things up half-and-half but looking at it now, is such things ok? Seriously considering focusing with 【Increase Movement Speed】 and 【Sneak Attack】. I’m just like a ninja. Bomber, a bomb as the name suggests.^{[TN# 12]} It’s different from a monster, it’s just using bomb with a living body. It’s a big advantage that I can set up a lot of it to create some disturbance as long as there MP left. It’s still a mystery to me how much MP can a GM recover. 【Sneak Attack】 can disregard the armor and can cause damage even with bare hands. The 【Swift Wind】 active skill further increase my movement speed.
It’s a skill which is often uses when running a marathon on a quest. The skill name with the intention that a bullet will pop out on the fist is written as 【Wave Sword】 but read as 【Over Sword】. 《Active Skill》 of the Knight System which raises the offensive power and can make an aura come out of the swords tip when the attack range is pulled up. In the original MMO this skill appears to be popular. I used it frequently. While constantly consulting the setting window, I heard steady footsteps when I was assembling my skills. If I look at the time it seems to be time for supper.

「Hey move, food’s here」

The guard says it bluntly as ever. He usually returns quickly to his original place, but for some reason today he is still motionless.

「………」

「….What?」

Still staring at me motionlessly, I can’t use a skill and it’s hard to have my meal.

「It’ll be the day after tomorrow」

「Ha?」

The day after tomorrow? What will?

「If YOU^[TN#13] can’t be enslaved by the day after tomorrow comes then you’ll be executed. I pray that the Slave Collar can be put on you」

(What!? There are still a four day margin, why is it on the day after tomorrow…!?)

The guard had left despite me who was still showing a surprised state. The bread and the soup today that was changed with a skill were turned into bread with a pickled radish and Japanese soup with vegetables. The condition is still a mystery…! Furthermore it doesn’t fit subtly.

The current skill tree and the primary used job.
