Chapter 2

What? Child of the World? Hero System? The voice that suddenly appeared in Ye Zai's mind made him somewhat startled. But after he reacted, he was replaced by pleasant surprise.

Although Ye Zai's superpower was too weak, he had learned some sword techniques to protect himself, but his level was average, clearly not enough to let him survive safely in this world of monsters.

Now that his golden finger has arrived, with the system by his side, he could develop in a low-key manner and live a good life, which should not be a problem.

But when Ye Zai was full of joy waiting for the next part, the so-called "Hero System" did not respond, which almost made him want to curse.

What a low-quality product, no prompt, no manual, how am I supposed to play?

"Ding, the Hero System has been activated. Please complete the initial task to officially activate the system functions."

"Initial Task: Help [Child of the World] Saitama defeat the Crab Monster and help him lay the foundation for his future hero path."

After a long wait, the system finally responded again. Even the loading speed is so slow, making Ye Zai doubt this high-tech product.

But no matter what, Ye Zai decided to carry out the task given by the system. Even if the computer is trash, it's still better than a calculator, isn't it?

"Help Saitama defeat the Crab Monster?"

Ye Zai belatedly looked at the task content and then looked at the man in a suit being beaten up by the Crab Monster.

Right, the [Child of the World] was mentioned just now. In the world of One Punch Man, the [Child of the World] can only be Saitama.

But... the man in front of him has such thick hair and is being beaten up.

"Indeed, Saitama is only strong when he is bald. A big bald head is the [Monster Slayer], and Saitama with long hair is just a chicken."

Crab Monster: A tiger-level monster, but with only the strength of a peak wolf-level monster, a monster that has mutated due to humans over-consuming crabs.

The monster levels are determined by the "Hero Association" established to deal with monsters, and there are five levels in total.

Wolf (dangerous factors appear, posing a certain threat to human life, with some killing power)

Tiger (causing widespread casualties, not something ordinary civilians can handle, capable of destroying hard objects like concrete)

Ghost (potentially causing a city to stop functioning or be destroyed)

Dragon (potentially causing the destruction of several cities)

God (potentially causing the extinction of humanity)

The Crab Monster in front of Ye Zai is a "tiger-level" monster, but it only has the destructive power of a "wolf-level" monster, although it is still not something ordinary people can handle.

Just like the ordinary Saitama in front of him, who has already been beaten to the point of spitting blood. Ye Zai no longer hesitated and drew his sword to block the crab claw that was about to strike Saitama.

Because his superpower could only blow a small windmill, Ye Zai had learned some sword techniques in various dojos in his early years. The long sword in his hand was also expensive, made from a special alloy.

Originally, Ye Zai thought that his strength could handle three to five big men, and killing a "wolf-level" destructive power Crab Monster should not be difficult.

But when he used his sword to block the Crab Monster's crab claw, he realized how wrong he was.

The immense force pressed the back of his sword onto his shoulder, and his knees were almost bent. Although he had trained, the physical condition of an ordinary person could not compare to that of a monster.

"Another guy coming to die. From your appearance, you don't seem to be an ordinary person. Are you a hero from the recently established [Hero Association]? Are you a B-class hero or an A-class hero?"

Ye Zai seemed to remember that the Hero Association was actually established after a kid with a pointy chin was saved by Saitama.

This unremarkable kid with a pointy chin is the son of one of the directors of the Hero Association.

But because the monsters in this world appeared earlier, the "Hero Association" was established earlier than in the original story.

(The Hero Association in this world was established earlier than in the original story. Please don't repeat that the timeline is wrong. It has already been said that the Hero Association in this world appeared earlier than in the original story!!)

The Crab Monster sneered at Ye Zai, clearly not taking him seriously.

Besides monsters, heroes registered with the [Hero Association] also have different levels. The headquarters will dispatch corresponding heroes based on the energy intensity produced when monsters appear.

The hero levels, from highest to lowest, are S, A, B, and C. However, because the [Hero Association] was just established, there are no S-class heroes yet.

The hero levels are determined by relevant personnel and can also be upgraded by defeating monsters.

The level of the Crab Monster is "tiger-level," theoretically requiring at least a B-class hero or a low-ranking A-class hero to deal with it.

As for C-class heroes, most of them are just stronger ordinary people.

Ye Zai did not answer the Crab Monster's question but kept blocking its attacks. Although the Crab Monster looked bizarre, its "Crab Punch" was both fast and heavy.

He was not a so-called "hero." If it weren't for this low-end system's task, he would have turned around and left without a second glance.

Isn't it better to live a good life? Why become a "hero" with such a high death rate?

After a while of fighting the Crab Monster, Ye Zai finally found a slight weakness and left a deep wound on its upper body with one slash.

Because Ye Zai's weapon was made from a special alloy, it was not too difficult to break through the Crab Monster's defense.

"You bastard! You're going to die! I've decided to kill you first, then that pointy-chinned kid who's drawing on me with a marker."

Seemingly due to the severe injury, the Crab Monster's hatred towards Ye Zai instantly increased, even changing the order in which it planned to kill.

The Crab Monster had been toying with Ye Zai like a cat playing with a mouse. Now, with the severe injury, it stopped playing and its two crab punches moved so fast that Ye Zai felt the pressure increase.

Saitama, who had been in a "lying dead" state, seeing Ye Zai in a tough battle, struggled to get up and took off his tie, sneaking behind the Crab Monster.

The Crab Monster, now enraged and only wanting to quickly crush the Ye Zai in front of it, naturally did not notice the sneaky Saitama.

Saitama was quite helpful. After successfully getting behind the Crab Monster, he used the tie to strangle its neck and pulled with all his might.

Ye Zai took advantage of the opportunity created by Saitama and cleanly beheaded the Crab Monster with one slash.

"Ding, task completed, [Hero System] activated."

"Initial Task Reward: Three card draw opportunities."

After beheading the Crab Monster, Ye Zai panted and collapsed on the ground. But hearing the voice in his mind, he felt it was all worth it.

"This strange creature is finally dead. Hey, my name is Saitama. What's your name..."
