The Strongest Thief

What could be worse than death? The answer was the loneliness of never being able to die. Of billions upon billions upon billions of creatures across worlds and realities, no matter how powerful they were they would always be consumed by that feeling. It was the true terror that would devour any living entities until their mind shattered and turn to void. What happened if there was a creature, a person, a human who could overcome the fear of nothingness? In the world of Loriana, the world of magic, the world of endless battles between heroes and demon lords. The young boy Torei summoned with his group of friends and his unrequited love. Like any Isekai transmigrators, they were given powers and fame. Well, except for Torei his class was a thief, a lowly infamous class only for thugs, and criminals. What could Torei do in this cruel world filled with endless hatred, suffering as a thief? Cough cough I stare at myself in the mirror for a long time after writing this synopsis. I think I'm serious this time about WSA contest I'm not a native English speaker so expect some grammar errors in my novels I will try to improve with time. If this goes well I'm gonna update a more thoughtfully editing version later. Q&A: Will this has harem? (a small and complicated harem I would say, cause at least one of them was just playing with the MC, even if there's a harem MC gonna choose only 1 love interest, there'll be no harem ending) Will this have NTR? (No) Is the cover yours? (No, I'm just borrowing it please don't kill me) Final word I'm a newbie writer so please be easy on me.

We have special powers? What's wrong with being a thief?

" Hey, Sarila chan ~ We have special powers right? Wouldn't all warriors sent to another world be granted miraculous powers?" - Okura

" That's right Okura kun. What you said was not wrong at all. In fact, you guys already have it. You just haven't known how to use it yet." - Sarila

The goddess smiled, and from her hand, a radiant light enveloped the group.

" Well, it's like a video game in your world. Imagine a status table in your mind." - Sarila

Though didn't know how Torei could understand how it worked like breathing. A blue status board appeared before his eyes with rows of numbers.

" You guys seem to have seen your stats. However, it's entirely your right to show it, we won't force you. If you want to show it, just materialize the status. I think you've already known how." - Sarila

Sarila was looking at Torei when she said that. There was a hint of sadness in her gaze. Torei didn't understand what that meant.

" Some people in this world have the ability to see the stats of other people. It also depends on the skill level of the person that they could detect or not. In this room, only I can see your stats and I won't make it public." - Sarila

To show that she has no malicious intentions, the goddess Sarila said that.

" However, if you decide to fight in the future, I think it's best to let your comrades know what you're capable of. It is dangerous to work in a group without knowing the abilities of your teammates." - Sarila

After the warning of the goddess, Torei hesitated, meanwhile it was Haruki who first showed his status to the surrounding.

" Ohhhh!!"

Everyone in the room's mouth was wide opened.

" As expected Haruki kun is the key to this war!"

" Sorry but I don't know much about this "Passive". for example what is "Divine Blessing"?" - Haruki

" If you click on the screen, it'll display the information for you." - Sarila

" In this world, only 2 people've been recorded with this much Exp boots!"

" It is true that many heroes from the past were not Divine Exp boosts, they'd just closely reach to Lengdary class. Haruki kun's compatibility with mana was the third in history." - The king

" Hahaha."

The gazes of admiration were directed at Haruki, admiringly, and then, each person in Torei's group simultaneously showed their index boards.

" Shizu san will definitely become one of the strongest." - Sarila

" R-Really? But there are many things I still don't understand. Like what's [Intution]?" - Shizu

" Sometimes the system won't explain it thoroughly, but I believe Shizu kun will realize by yourself." - Sarila

" W-What? What the hell is this ?? There's definitely a mistake! Why would I …" - Satsuki

" Her magic stats were on par with the elite students of the magic institute, even though it was only Lvl 1." - Azael

" This's can't be real! This's can't be real! I'm on the girls' track and field team of the school, how on earth did my stamina lose to Shizu?" - Satsuki

" Satsuki kun, I think there was nothing wrong with that, in your world magic doesn't exist, so you can't prove your magic compatibility." - Sarila

" Then why is Shizu a Sword Master? That girl has never even touched a sword." - Satsuki

" In this case, according to my research, it seems that Shizu kun's ancestor might've been a master of swordsmanship." - Sarila

" Haha, I still often hear my grandfather told that story but I never put any thought to it." - Shizu

" That's not fair!" - Satsuki

" Satsuki, your stats are higher than Haruki kun, what are you complaining about?" - Okura

" Hmm, how should I say it? His stats are just average, and even his magic stats are a bit low, however, the other two skills cannot be underestimated. But on that condition, it's a shame that one can be used at a time." - The king

" Hahaha Okura, what the hell with your stats, so low! This way, you will die in a blink when you enter the battlefield!" - Mitsuru

" It's great right?" - Mitsuru

" Yea...." - Okura

" What now Okura? Are you jealous? This result's only natural, I'm even surprised that it's a bit weak." - Mitsuru

" Come on, Mitsuru kun. People will hate you if you keep that attitude." - Midori

" Hahaha joking, it's just a joke!" - Mitsuru

" Okura kun, don't be sad, Buffer is an indispensable role in a party." - Sarila

" I-It's my turn then." - Midori

" Goddess gracious! A Holy maiden!"

They all knelt down in front of her.

" Eh Ehhh? Wha-what's happening?" - Midori

" Holy Maiden has always been together with the hero for generations. They are symbols of the church, the Holy Maiden's religious influence is even greater than the Hero." - Sarila

" But aren't you a god? Why are you kneeling as well Sarila?" - Satsuki

" Maybe it's because of the difference in customs. I am showing my gratitude to the person who'll inherit my power. Actually, I cannot participate in this battle. It's a law enacted by this world, but I can transfer a part of my power to you." - Sarila

" W-What's with the talk about Holy Maiden with the hero?" - Midori

" Ah about that …" - Sarila

Sarila glance at the girls in the group and smiled.

" In almost all heroic tales, the Hero and the Holy Maiden usually married." - Sarila

" What!" - The girls

They were all exclaiming. Haruki and Midori blushed and looked away from each other.

" There'll be no such thing right Haruki kun?" - Midori

" Y-Yeah, it is too early." - Haruki

" H-Holly Maiden so what?" - Satsuki

" Ahh…" - Torei

Satsuki shifted her annoyed gaze from Shizu to Midori. But what caught Torei's attention was Shizu's reaction. Her eyes repeatedly flipped between Midori and Haruki with a worried expression and that made him feel like something was stuck in his throat.

" Ah, finally it's my turn." - Torei

" Are you sure?" - Sarila

Sarila looks worriedly at Torei. Although he didn't really understand when looking at his status window. But from Sarila's reaction, Torei could guess that there was something in his status that shouldn't be seen by others.

" What's it, Torei? Are your stats bad?" - Okura

Okura put his hand on my shoulder, he must be looking for someone worse than himself.

" Oh, Torei? You make me curious!" - Okura

" Didn't you hear what Sarila san just said? The decision is entirely up to him." - Midori

" Yes, there's one thing I want to announce." - Sarila

Sarila once again bowed.

" We won't force you to join this battle. If you choose to give up, we can try to provide you with a peaceful life and protect you from dangers as an apology for this world. However, you should understand that protection lasts only until the demons prevail. We'll do our best but we can't promise how long we will hold out. Still, we beg you to save us." - Sarila

" You don't need to do that Sarila san. No one is at fault … I'm gonna save you all! I promise!" - Haruki

" Haruki kun …" - Midori

" Torei, you guys don't have to be involved in this. After all, we just need the Hero to defeat the Demon King, right?" - Haruki

" That's correct." - Sarila

" N-No Haruki, I won't let you do this alone. I mean it would be much more efficient if we teamed up, right?" - Satsuki

" We're always welcome you, your abilities are all unique in this world." - The king

" I will also participate." - Midori

" Me too!" - Shizu

" Hmm for such an interesting adventure, how can I sit still." - Mitsuru

" Hahaha, there's just a little bit of a mistake in my stats! I'm definitely the kind of hidden hero whose special ability only shows up in dangerous moments. I'll be the main character that has a harem hahaha!" - Okura

The discomfort engulfed Torei. Why would everyone risk their lives for this strange place? For the people, they didn't even know. He thought about withdrawing but now he couldn't. It was not an issue about solidarity, justice, friendship, beliefs, or anything. There was only one reason why he was sitting at the same table with this group. The person he care about most was about to be in danger because of someone else. He couldn't stand that.

" I will follow everyone. So…" - Torei

A 3D screen appeared in front of everyone.

Torei

" Hahahah! What the heck?? A thief!" - Mitsuru

Not only Mitsuru but Okura couldn't help but laugh. Alexandra, the princes, the princess, the mage, and the redhead woman looked at him with a complicated expressions. While the soldiers clicked their tongues discussing something. Sarila looked at him with a sad expression. Torei didn't think his class would leave such a bad impression. Of course, he knew it'd be no good, but in the fantasy worlds, he read it was not uncommon to have a thief in a team of heroes. Torei didn't know that all of these were just the beginning of an omen that would happen to him.
