Chapter 2 Becoming A Cheat Takes Patience ! (1)
Leslie Marr has been working at the Evergreen Orphanage for the past 3 years. She had joined because she was an orphan and knew how tough it was growing up all alone. She didn't work full-time as the wage offered by the orphanage was very low. Her real job was being a ' hero', she was an E - rank right now but she had the potential to be A-rank, because of her potential she was scouted by many guilds. They offered to put her through schools, where they specifically trained her to become stronger.
After 3 years of continuous hard work in school, she finally graduated and became a hero. She was almost close to a breakthrough to D rank. She had a lot of friends now, she wasn't alone anymore. That's exactly why she chose to take up a part-time job in the orphanage because she didn't want other children who were going through what she went through to be alone.
Right now she was at the playground beside the orphanage watching over the kids that were playing. Some of the children were playing in the sandpit, while others were playing on the slides, swings, and whatnot. Leslie's eyes fell on a young boy who was doing none of these. The child had pitch-black hair and scarlet eyes. His pale complexion made it very clear that he hasn't been outside much, he was way too skinny for a seven-year-old.
There were many rumors about him, spreading at the orphanage, one rumor said that the day he was brought to the orphanage, he was covered in blood. Another one said that he was a demon's spawn from an affair with a human and demon. Leslie would often find children bullying him due to these rumors.
At first, she couldn't believe that people would spread such rumors about a 7-year-old child, but the more time she spend observing him, the more she found him peculiar. The child didn't act like a child, sometimes he acted more adult than Leslie who was an actual adult. But Leslie knew that something had to be done about the bullying so she had informed the caretaker of the orphanage about the situation, but he just rubbed it off as children 'playing '.
Another peculiar fact about the boy was that he had no name. When the caretaker tried giving him a name, he flat out refused that name just by simply saying, "No."
The caretaker, Mark Lauder did try to force a name on him but whenever someone used to call him using that name, he would just ignore them. In the end, everyone just gave up, because he had no name he was called 'X' by the adults. To Leslie, it all felt a little ridiculous but she didn't say anything as that would have been rude.
Leslie feels a slight chill on her back as she realized that the boy was staring right at her. His scarlet eyes felt deep like a well that would drown her if she wasn't careful enough,
' You're an adult, Leslie. Act like one.'
Chiding herself she moved toward the child that was sitting on the bench.

It's been 7 years since I've come into this stupid world and I've learned three things.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
The first is that no matter what happens, it was my eternal destiny to be a fucking orphan. At first, I was happy that I had a second chance at life, but that happiness died down as soon as I found out that I was an orphan. Don't misunderstand. It isn't because I crave familial love that I was disappointed. It's because I had to make money for myself yet again to get some kind of education.
That shit is hard homie.
Just think about it, you've been an orphan all your life, you kind of kill yourself by accident, and then by some kind of twist of fate you get reincarnated into one of the novels you've written, and you're still an orphan!
….
Oh yes, you heard me right. The world that I reincarnated into was based on one of the novels I had written, its name was '' Lord Of Destiny''. It was a cliché novel filled with cliché characters. As far as the plot goes, it takes place in a world where the world goes through something known as the '' Great Catastrophe'', The Great Catastrophe is similar to an apocalypse, Portals opened on Earth and angels came down to Earth to warn us of the forthcoming danger, The danger that the angels warned us about were the arrival of the ' demons'.
With the emergence of portals, the world got introduced to the concept of mana. Mana was a kind of energy that was present inside all beings. Our level was determined by the amount of mana within our bodies. Another new concept that the world was introduced to was the 'status system', It was a literal estimation of our strength in alphabetical terms visible only to the user. Anyways the angels helped us learn how to use the mana within our bodies to help us in our fight against the demons. After the demons arrived, humanity did have the edge for a little while, but after a while, they understood the true might of the demons.
In short, the humans lost a lotta land and humanity was on the brink of extinction, that was when the angels came down yet again and erected three barriers around where the humans were present most densely and the result of the long war was a stalemate. Right now humans occupy 20 % of Earth's land, the rest of the land was divided between the angels and demons. This is where our protagonist comes in, his name was Max and both his parents were S- class heroes and they both died fighting against the demons. The story begins with Max vowing to destroy all the demons.
Ok. Listen I know, the story is filled with blandness and is also filled with clichés. I thought so too when I wrote it, that's why I added a little twist to make the story more 'spicy'. Now that I think about it, the twist felt a little forced honestly.
The twist was simple, the truth was that demons had come in peace, their home planet had been destroyed by the angels and they were looking for a new place to call 'home'. The ' angels' were parasitic beings whose strength increased as more people revered them. The more followers they gained, the more their power grew. They had tried to trick the demons into becoming their followers but they had failed miserably.
After their failure, they decided to destroy the demon's planet and after learning that they were going to head towards Earth, the angels decided to head to Earth as well, to antagonize the demons by concocting a story of how their home planet was destroyed by the demons and they were in search of a new home.
They also made the humans believe that the demons were coming after Earth next. The reason why the angels knew their every move was since they had a lot of spies within the demon ranks. When the demon prince of the devildom came in peace to Earth to negotiate, he was killed ruthlessly, and thus the war ensued in which there were major losses from both sides, while the angels remained unscathed the entire time.
The protagonist's parents uncovered the plans of the angels out of sheer luck and the angels disposed of them and made it look like the work of demons.
During the middle part of the novel, the protagonist learns of this and joined hands with the demons to annihilate the angels. They succeed and then they all lived happily ever after.
I seemed to be one of the many orphans of the war who had nobody. I don't remember writing anything about this orphanage, so most of the people here including me were mobs that made no impact on the story whatsoever. That worked for me because being the main character sucks.
Being the main character meant that the world revolved around you and when you're the most important person in the world, trouble will always be present beneath your shadow.
That's the fancy way of saying that it was just too much work.
The second thing that I learned since reincarnating was that the main plot of the novel hadn't started yet. The novel starts with Max entering the no. 1 hero academy called, The Unity.
There were still at least 8 years for that to happen.
I've decided to ignore the plot and go to another hero school that was far away from the Unity. I'm the author so becoming a cheat wasn't that difficult and if something out of the plotline happens, I would deal with it or not, I mean the protagonist exists for a reason right?
Right now I was currently at the playground near the orphanage enjoying my playtime. Acting like a kid sucks to the core and the kids and adults here suck. I can't wait to get out.
I find our supervisor, Miss Leslie watching me. Honestly, she isn't that bad, she might be the only person that I might honestly like at this stupid godforsaken orphanage. She starts walking toward me and I smile at her when she reaches me.
Despite my complaining, there was something that I did like about this life, I was way too handsome for a side character. Not only me, everyone in this world was unnaturally beautiful.
" Why aren't you playing with the rest, X?"
" Oh, I was just taking a break, Miss Leslie."
" Okay then"
She goes away after checking up on me.
The third thing that I learned was that everyone at the orphanage had a bad naming sense, especially that awful caretaker. I mean what kinda name is, " Joe"
That just shouted the word 'average'. I want a cool name at least in this life. So I refused the name proposed by the caretaker.
I wanted a name that made my enemies tremble in fear, something like 'Razorface' or something.
As I was contemplating my future, sand got thrown at my face, making me close my eyes.
I rub my eyes and look at the person in front of me with annoyance.
" Hey, weirdo."
In front of me was a girl of about 10 years of age with a big frown on her face.
' Oh dear'
