Picking up Girls With My System

A minor planet called Loothea. It was closer to the biggest planet in the universe, home to the Alliance, and where Arthur planned to go first, Idretera.

George had said accidents could happen, yet were as rare as phoenix feathers. It never crossed Arthur\'s mind that something like that would happen to him, but it did.

Was there a way for him to prevent the outcome? No, not at all. The two mages battling in the space were powerful, and it was just unlucky for Arthur to be there at the wrong time.

"Ah, my head," Arthur said, placing his right hand on his head, feeling the blood that was falling down from a wound he got at the back of his head.

He was alive, which was a good thing, but Arthur was still hurt after the fall, and it was still unknown what was the condition of his wives.

Arthur gathered his strength, moving his body as slow as a turtle, opening up the door of the metal ball. The first thing he did was to look around, and the planet looked rather similar to the one he came from.

"It makes sense. Planets have to be like this to have life, and as far as I know, mana is responsible to make the planets habitable."

Different from the world, he came from where planets had to have a certain distance of the sun for it to contain human life, in that universe, that was not the case.

The mana controlled the temperature and all the gases that were essential to life, meaning any planet, being it distant from the sun of that universe or not, could have people living in it.

"Please, be okay."

Arthur went to check the other metal balls around him, which belonged to his wives. He opened up all the three doors, and noticed that Jane, Wisa and Sybille were unconscious, yet still breathing.

There were no visible wounds either, so they should be alright. He sighed in relief after noticing that. The only reason he was the only one awake was because he was in a higher realm, that\'s all.

Then Arthur sensed someone approaching. It was a man wearing handmade clothing, similar to those of villagers. He also had a dagger and a bow!

What caught Arthur\'s attention was that the man had the power of a tenth circle mage, which was basically an ant when compared to Arthur.

"This planet is way closer to our destination, yet it seems this place is not that developed," thought Arthur.

The man got closer to the metal balls, and he had a million thoughts inside his head.

What were those things? He had never seen it before, and only after a few seconds did he notice Arthur and his wives.

"These people aren\'t simple. I cannot sense their mana at all," the man thought.

He had a feeling that they were powerful mages, and powerful mages were rare, so the man went closer to Arthur and said, "hello? Are you alright?"

Arthur acted surprised. "is someone there? Please, help me."

"How many people are there? Only you?" the man asked.

"Me and three more. Please."

The man was alone, so it would be hard to help everyone. "can you hold on for about ten minutes? I will return with more people to help."

"I-I can."

After that, the man left, returning to his small cabin. He was a well-known person in the village, so it was easy for him to get some help from others.

They returned to the place where Arthur was, and instead of only one person, they were in five!

Each one of them helped one of Arthur\'s wives, taking them back to their village.

Arthur had the help of that first man that arrived. "I am Victor."

"Arthur, nice to meet you."

Victor looked older, like someone in his thirties, with a thick black beard, and a long messy hair. He was also quite muscular. Arthur could tell he was someone who did manual jobs, like cutting wood or hunting.

The village he lived was not that far from where Arthur had fallen. They crossed a small forest, and then a river, finally reaching the village!

It was right beside the river, with around 18 houses in total made of wood.

A simple life, yet they did everything on their reach to help Arthur.

Arthur, Jane, Wisa and Sybille all went to Victor\'s house, which was one of the biggest inside the village.

There, a gorgeous woman was waiting for them, alongside a small little girl.

"Husband, what happened? Tracy told me you went looking for stars," the woman said.

"Emily, help me! I found these people nearby, and they seem hurt," Victor said.

Emily quickly understood the situation, preparing some wet towels and a bed for Arthur and his wives.

They had some free space in their house, which was quite impressive for someone living in such a small village.

"This room belonged to my boy, but he left to join the army two years ago. So, you can use it for now," Victor said.

Arthur could not express how much grateful he felt toward the man.

He was not that hurt, but his mana core was a mess, and it would be hard for him to use his mana, meaning Arthur was not at an ideal spot for battling.

Also, his wives were still unconscious, which made everything harder. It was unlucky that he fell on that planet, but also lucky that he fell close to such good people.

"Thank you for helping us. I will repay this," Arthur said.

"Don\'t think about repaying, but recovering. I did not do this for prizes," Victor said, leaving the room afterward.

It was night, and for the first time in a long time, Arthur felt tired, and his eyelids could barely keep themselves open. He got up from his bed, giving a kiss to the head of his wives, "please, wake up soon."

Then he returned to his bed, falling asleep in a few minutes.

Everyone in that village was talking about the mysterious people that Victor rescued the other night. It was rare for them to have any visitors.

"Could they be fallen gods? It would be nice for our village to get some blessings," one villager said.

"Impossible, right?"

They all tried to guess what was the identity of Arthur, and although he was not a fallen god, he would soon become one for that planet!

"Good morning," Emily said the moment she saw Arthur coming out of the bedroom.

Arthur had a youthful face. Although many years had passed since his arrival at that universe, his appearance did not change mage. A perk of being a powerful mage.

Emily\'s son, the one that went to the army two years ago, was also young, so the youthful face of Arthur reminded her of her son, and that is why she was so caring.

"There\'s some rabbit meat and a vegetable soup. Please, sit, and eat something," she said.

With a sleepy face, Arthur said, "good morning, Emily. And thank you."

Arthur sat at the table and ate. After he merged his avatar with his main body, he got the perks of being a vampire, but not the weaknesses, meaning he did not need blood to survive anymore.

Still, absorbing the life essence of others would still grant him some perks, but eating normal food was not something impossible for him, and it actually tasted good.

While he was eating, a little girl came to see him. It was Tracy.

She was only 11 years old, and she was curious about the identity of the youth inside her house.

"This is Tracy, my daughter. She is cute, isn\'t she?" Emily said.

Arthur did not say a word, and then the door of their house opened. It was Victor, returning with some more meat for the family. Beside him, there was an enormous wolf!

"A magical beast? He tamed it? Wait, no. This is a familiar!"

Arthur remembered that the first time he arrived at that universe, mages had familiars beside them, but as they got stronger, those familiars returned to the mage\'s mana core.

He did not know, but his planet had lost the techniques to control the familiars to fight beside them. That was not the case for most of the more advanced planets.

"Rufus!" Tracy said, running toward the wolf to hug him.

"They have their familiars to fight beside them, strange. Could this mean magic be more advanced here?" Arthur thought.

"You are awake? Eat. You need to recover your strength, and you can help me with the farm later," Victor said.

Victor knew Arthur wanted to repay him somehow, and maybe helping him out for a while with planting, taking care of the animals, and hunting would be more than enough.

"I will, absolutely," Arthur said, smiling, happy to repay some of the kindness he received from that family.

He finished his breakfast, with Tracy sitting beside him. She wanted to speak with him, and after a long time, she said, "I heard rumors from my friends. They say you are a fallen god. Is it true?"

Arthur almost choked on his breakfast. He was not something like a fallen god, but he had a tab in his system that allowed people to worship him, and that gave him an idea.

"This is the perfect opportunity to make them worship me, the new dragon god!"
