Picking up Girls With My System

The black substance that came from the sword covered half of Arthur’s body before it stopped.

Before, Arthur could barely grab the sword with both hands, but now, he carried it only using his right arm.

One of his eyes turned black, and had a few dots inside, resembling a galaxy.

“What’s happening to me?” Arthur thought.

The entirety of his right side was covered in that black substance, and even one of his fire wings turned black. It did not make sense.

Arthur thought that type of energy only belonged to these demons, but he had done nothing wrong, expect used the sword.

Perhaps the sword was a demonic treasure? Well, it would not make sense at all, as Arthur found it in a dragon-like temple, and there was a diary of a dragon right next to it.

It was all in vain, as Arthur lost his consciousness. Not that he was not awake, no, he was, but it wasn’t him controlling the body.

The body moved for itself, and it was a good thing more people from the Doom Order showed up.

“Who’s this? He has the demon’s energy, so he surely is someone from the high order.” one of them said.

.

Arthur was not awake to see, but a notification appeared in front of him, one that only he could read.

[Placidusax energy absorbed]

[Your body cannot control it]

[Berserker mode enabled]

The system recognized that energy as something from Placidusax. Arthur still did not know how he could be a person that belonged to another world, and the king of dragons in that world at the same time.

What exactly was happening? Everyone until now said that energy belonged to demons, but what now? The energy was from the king of dragons Placidusax, and at the same time someone was giving it to humans.

Something fishy was going on behind the curtains…

Anyway, Arthur was not in his right mind, so without thinking, he flew towards the members of the Doom Order, and swung his immense sword at them.

There was not a single chance they would survive. Arthur did not know, but his dragon transformation was active, which doubled his attributes. And, this strange energy increased all of his attributes by 100 as well.

He was on a different realm than those weaklings. The downside was that he could not think properly, and would probably attack anyone on his path, like a madman.

All the people that showed up from the Doom Order, which were about 10 people, died one by one. They even tried to block the immense black sword, but it was all for nothing.

Some were cut in half, others turned into a pulp of meat, and some had their heads exploded. It was a complete mess, with body parts all around, and pools of blood.

After Arthur wiped all of these people, cutting them into pieces, he passed out. His body could not endure anymore.

“Captain, CAPTAIN!” Kai yelled, shaking Arthur’s body to see if he would wake up.

Hayla was also there, and she was both worried, and scared. The scene they witnessed when arriving there was not a pretty one. A few even threw up after seeing that many mutilated bodies.

Arthur suddenly woke up, feeling pain all over his body, and confusion in his head.

“Kai? What are you doing here?” Arthur looked around him, and saw that many bodies, and even he was shocked.

“What the fuck happened here?” Arthur said, but no one had an answer to it.

“I don’t know, captain. We arrived a few moments ago, and everything was like this already. And there’s some bad news.”

“Bad news? What do you mean?”

“Just look.”

Kai brought a head. It was of Runo. Arthur had killed him during his frenzy.

“No way. Well, let’s bring his head back to the Pirate Guild, and with the books, we can still have some kind of proof.”

Arthur got up, and could barely walk. The pain in his body was too much, and it would take him some time to recover. Kai helped him by giving his shoulder, and as they were returning to the city, Arthur remembered some parts of what happened.

He remembered that black substance coming from the sword, and entering inside his body. After that, everything is blank.

“I passed out, and seeing all these bodies around me, I think I was the one that did it. What the hell?”

It was something he did not have the answer to. On the way back, Arthur thought about what his next steps would be.

Now that Runo was dead, he wanted to go to that distant island and try to find his friends. But he couldn’t just grab his crew and go there.

Arthur’s crew did not know his friends at all, and they would not spend 2 months on the sea for that. Kai was the only one that would do, because Arthur was his master, friend, and both of them had similar bloodlines.

“Kai.”

“Captain?”

“If I went looking for my friends, would you come with me?”

“Of course, but I don’t know if the rest of the crew will agree.”

“Yeah, we need to talk about that. Who do you think would do well as a new captain?”

~~~~

Arthur, Kai, Hayla and Joshua were inside a inn room.

“I think Hayla and Joshua are suited for the task.” Arthur said.

They talked, and both him and Kai decided to put Hayla and Joshua in charge. Hayla was stronger than Joshua, so she would be the captain, and Joshua the vice-captain.

“But why are you guys leaving out of a sudden?”

It was shocking news for both of them.

“We have a clue about something that we will follow. If all goes wrong, then I hope you can still have us in your crew.”

“Obviously. You will always be the captain for us.”

“Good, good.”

The rest of the crew got that information, and no one objected their decision. Hayla and Joshua were known by all of them.

It was said to be a temporary change of leadership, but who knew what would happen to both Kai and Arthur…

Arthur was okay with that. He wanted to find his girls, as it was better than staying around all of these men…
