Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting

Leon, the MC of loli_pop's novel. He didn't know who his parents were nor did he see them, in fact, he didn't even remember their names.

This was because his parents abandoned him in front of an orphanage as he was their fifth child and they didn't have the money left to raise him.

Hence, he spent his childhood in that orphanage until he reached the age of 15.

The orphanage didn't keep anyone after they attained the age of 15 years old as that is the age when you take a step into adulthood according to the laws of this world.

The same went for Leon also, he was kicked out of the orphanage and left to live on his own.

He then spent a couple of weeks living on the streets until a certain event occurred.

One day he went to the forest to gather fruits or something else to eat, though he fell into a deep hole. It was the entrance of a labyrinth.

He lost consciousness and woke up a day later, only to find himself with severe injuries. Even so, he tried his hardest to make it out alive. He knew he can't go back up from the hole he fell because it was a straight fall, so he decided to clear the labyrinth.

He didn't have much knowledge about labyrinths but the fact that you can get out by defeating the boss of the final floor was known to everyone. It was common sense in this world.

Following that common sense, he started clearing the floors, though it was not easy at all.

The labyrinth is a maze-like structure with multiple floors, they are filled with different types of monsters and each floor was armed with its own boss; a monster far stronger than the normal ones.

Leon was weak to begin with, but the injuries he had made it even worse. Leave clearing the labyrinth aside, he wasn't able to reach the boss room on the first floor as he didn't carry any weapon and fighting monsters barehanded is the same as committing suicide

Half a day later he found himself in a near-death situation. After his fight with a giant lizard he was pretty much dead, was not moving and the lizard was on its way to eat him.

But while his body had given up his mind didn't. There was only one reason; he wanted to see his parents even if it's only for once.

The will to survive inside him was strong, strong enough to make him bite the lizard's windpipe with all the force he could apply, doing that he killed the lizard.

Though in the process the lizard bites him on his shoulder. He killed the lizard but he was still going to die because of the bleeding.

Then it happened.

[The system has acknowledged your resolve!]

<System activated>

​ A notification popped up in his head as a translucent blue screen appeared before his eyes.

That day, he got a system.

A system that helped him learn magic easily, a system by which he can level up and collect skills like Pokémons, a system that increased both his physical and magical abilities.

Using the system he cleared the labyrinth in 4 days and made his way out by defeating the final boss.

And when he was headed back to the city he found a woman in the forest. She was hiding in a carriage that was surrounded by a few mid-level monsters.

Leon being a generic protagonist killed those monsters and saved the woman. Later it turned out she was the wife of a retired professor of the Zaforths magic academy.

Leon escorted his wife to her home where he met with the professor.

The professor then heard his situation, and after getting an understanding of the life he was living he gave Leon an offer.

As a way to thank him the professor wanted to help him somehow. After all, if wasn't for Leon then his wife would be dead by now. Hence, he first tested his skills; which were over the top due to the system.

Seriously, the guy didn't hold back in showing off his abilities.

Naturally, the professor was impressed. He'd never seen a talent like this before and he didn't want it to go to waste.

As a result, he recommended Leon to the magic academy and paid for his fee. That's how he got enrolled here.

Now, in the middle of the days he spent living in the professor's house, he was supposed to meet with a drowned-in-despair Anya and save her from Walric.

Though I guess this part was skipped thanks to me.

Anyway, Leon was a generic fantasy protagonist in the flesh. He was kind and always wanted to do the right thing—helping those in need without any discrimination and stuff.

And he was also horny as fuck at times, specifically when the plot demanded some R18 scenes.

But thanks to him being a kind and 'OP MC', he got into trouble in the academy many times. I was witnessing one of those right now.

I was sitting on an audience seat in a coliseum—this, of course, was built inside the academy campus.

So, what happened?

A guy named Sarek, who is a student of class 1A, was ganging up and bullying another student.

Leon being Leon stepped in and stopped him, Sarek was outraged by this as he was a guy with a relatively short temper.

Leon already got on his nerves because he played the 'good guy' in the class, a trait Sarek absolutely hated, and this event made him burst.

Hence, he challenged Leon to a duel. This situation spread at an unbelievably fast pace, and here we are now.

The Coliseum was filled with students while Sarek and Leon stood in the middle of the arena with a sword in their hands.

Sarek didn't know magic well, so he challenged him to a sword fight. Leon wanted to turn him down but to the pressure, he got from the students who hated Sarek, he ended up accepting it.

The match started when the referee blew his whistle.

***

-Boom!

Just when the match started Sarek kicked off the ground and shot in Leon's direction as he raised his sword high.

Leon held his sword in front of his body and clenched onto its handle. It was decided, he has the system so there's no way he was going to lose here. Though, he decided not to go rough on Sarek and play defensive.

-Clank!

-Clank!

-Clank!

Sounds of metal clashing resounded in the arena as Sarek launched strike after strike at Leon while Leon only blocked his attacks instead of striking him with his own.

This exchange of blows continued for several minutes, Sarek kept shouting, "Bastard! Are you trying to mock me here?!" because not a single time did Leon attack him.

In the end, Sarek backed off to take a breath. He relaxed his body and then again stood with his back straight, staring at Leon directly into his eyes.

"Don't you dare go easy on me! I'll crush you when you're at your full power!" he said and darted toward Leon.

"If that's what you wish," Leon mumbled.

Taking a sidestep he got out of Sarek's way and when Sarek was just beside Leon, he struck the back of his neck with the hilt of his sword.

Soon after, Sarek stumbled and fell to the ground; he was knocked unconscious.

The students in the audience busted out in cheers while the lackeys of Sarek looked at Leon with fear in their eyes.

***

It wasn't much of a battle anyway, I knew this was going to happen due to the knowledge of the novel I have.

Leon was S rank after all.

Still, seeing the events I read as texts unfold in reality right before my eyes was an exciting experience.

The match was over and a while later the students started leaving the coliseum, I did the same.

I had the entertainment I wanted, now it was time to move on to the main things.
