The Rise Of A Porter

"W-Wait, How!? There was supposed to be about a year left till the war of the worlds was-" Arnold was confused as he had been never before.

They were supposed to still have a lot of time left before the war began. But now he was suddenly being informed that the war was going to start early? What kind of bulls.hit were the gods feeding on? This was the future of a planet they were talking about not some end of season sale!

[I don't know the details either. But there is no mistake. The war has begun. You'll get a notification about it soon- there it is.]

'This really is a game for you as.sholes, isn't it?' Arnold gritted his teeth so hard he could hear his own teeth cracking, 'Just wait till I do the same to you.'

[Good thinking on not saying it out loud. The gods-]

'Fck your gods!!!'

Arnold was not in the mood to chit-chat with anyone anymore. His frustration was about to blow over his head, however, there was no time for him to waste. He immediately contacted his summons, or at least those who survived the hit from the sniper rifle. His forces had been reduced to a tenth of what they were when the fight began. Arnold knew there weren't enough of them to do some significant damage to the tree.

Hell, he wasn't even sure what else could he possibly do next. He literally nuked the godd.amn tree and yet that didn't put a dent on it. If his entire army couldn't do something as trivial as uprooting a tree, no one in the world could have done that.

'Gotta think of something...'

While his troops assembled around him, he paced up and down thinking what to do next. But no matter how long and hard he thought, not a single plan popped in his head. For the first time, even he felt like all the points he had invested in increasing his intelligence were wasted.

Just then, he heard a loud noise behind him., similar to the one his travel portal made. Arnold turned around to look at what was going on and he saw multiple travel portals had opened up right behind him. There were seven travel portals top be precise and a person walked through every single portal.

'Aven.gers assemble?'

He didn't know most of the people who had mysteriously appeared on the battlefield. But he knew two of them, Nina and-

"JOHNNY?" Arnold yelled as Johnny walked out of the last portal, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Even Nina was shocked to see Johnny there. This was supposed to be a battle of the vassals and the paladins against the world tree and none of them was aware that Johnny was one of them as well. Apart from those three, there were five others as well. Arnold didn't know anything about any of them. 

"Surprised?" Johnny smiled, "I know you have a lot of questions about me being a vassal-"

"Dude, you were already overpowered. Who chose you as their vassal?" Nicole playfully punched him in the shoulder, "Wait a moment, was all the retirement and stuff-"

"A guise to train more for this weird event? Yup." Johnny scratched the back of his head, "As for your first question, I am the vassal of [The Thunderous One]."

"Well, it is good to see familiar faces here. It's better than to work with a complete stranger. But still, how did you manage to hide that you were a vassal from us for so long?" Arnold scratched his chin, "I thought our systems are supposed to react when a vassal or a paladin is within our reach."

"Let's just say not everyone is as bad as hiding their strength as the two of you." Johnny joked, "Just kidding. You can ask your guardians to shut the feature down if you want. Didn't you know that? I thought you hadn't turned it off to intimidate others."

Arnold and Nicole both looked at each other. None of them knew about such a feature. If they did, they would have already used it as well.

'We are gonna have a long chat as soon as I'm done here... system sama.'

[Ehe...]

'Ehe? Te nandayo!?' Arnold thought before shifting his gaze towards the other participants. 

Out of the five, three were women. The redhead was carrying the biggest bow Arnold had ever seen, while one of the brunettes were wielding a shield that was big enough to be wielded by Dread and the last woman who was wearing a mask carried two swords strapped to her back. All three of them seemed to know each other pretty well as they were busy conversing amongst themselves, just like Arnold was busy talking with Nina and Johnny. The remaining two men were twins and both appeared to be brawlers like Johnny, considering their physique.

"So what do we do now?" Nicole asked Arnold, "Some of these people were given a task to kill us."

"I know. But for now, we will have to work together... either way, friendly fire ain't allowed here. I anyone of them tried to do anything, they'll be the ones losing their heads. Lets just focus on taking down the dam..n tree for now."
