Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Lugh was stunned. What was that?

Soon, a semi-transparent information panel appeared in front of him. Lugh was bewildered. It was as if he had entered a game world as an NPC, a non-player character.

Name: Lugh

Age: 17

Level: 0

Health: Beginner

Lugh guessed that this “Super Retrieval System” must be similar to a game plug-in. But what exactly was this system?

Could it be used to search for information?

Lugh dismissed this question. He was going to be hanged tomorrow; what was the use of searching for information?

The only thing he needed to do right now was figure out how to escape this prison! How would he get out?

“The super search system can find the notes of all the words in the world, including pronunciation and meaning. At the same time, the runes you have can be automatically converted into your mother tongue. The words in your mind can also be converted into runes,” the voice sounded in Lugh’s mind as if in response to his question.

“All the words, including the runes?”

“Of course.”

Lugh was shocked. This “cheat” could actually find the meanings of runes! And didn’t the voice say he could also transform the words in his mind into runes? If he could convert English into runes, wouldn’t it be very easy for him to become a rune-master?

As a rune-master, he would have magical abilities.

He would not just escape from prison; he could even rush into the castle and kill Berg!

Lugh was thrilled. At the same time, he thought of the runes in his mind.

This purple rune had a long history. It had given Lugh’s family incomparable nobility and power.

Unfortunately, as time passed, the family’s descendants had failed to comprehend this purple rune, leading to the family’s gradual decline.

This purple rune was made up of words that looked like little tadpoles. Lugh didn’t understand what it meant at all.

However, he had a super search system. With the help of the system, not only would Lugh understand the meaning of this rune, but he could also automatically turn it into English.

“Strong body,” Lugh said out loud, surprising himself.

A huge purple rune magically appeared in the air. The characters Lugh had thought were tadpoles rearranged themselves to form the English words “strong body.”

The purple rune emitted an intense blinding light that enveloped Lugh. He felt his body undergoing a huge change.

The torture wounds and bruises on his body healed instantly, gone without a trace.

Lugh rubbed his eyes, amazed to see and feel as if he had never been injured. To add to his astonishment, Lugh was transformed from a lanky youth into a tall and sturdy man. His thick muscles far surpassed those of the world bodybuilding champions.

Lugh felt a surge through his body and he instinctively knew that he now had boundless strength. To test this, Lugh stretched out his hand and gently bent the iron bar in front of him. The bar yielded without restraint, forming a hole large enough for Lugh to go through.

Lugh looked at his hands in disbelief, his heart pounding in astonishment.

A few seconds ago, he had been a thin prisoner. In the blink of an eye, he had become an extremely strong man.

However, Lugh knew that he had no time to waste. He had to escape this prison as soon as possible.

He walked through the hole he had just created but hesitated when he suddenly thought of the soldiers that were surely stationed outside.

Although he had unlimited power, Lugh was not sure his body could withstand the damage their weapons could cause. Moreover, there were a lot of soldiers. He was strong, but he was wise enough to know that he must not be discovered and eventually outnumbered.

Lugh searched his mind for a safer method to escape.

Got it.

Lugh snapped his fingers and an idea appeared in his mind.

I can turn invisible.

Lugh recalled a sci-fi movie he had previously watched where an astronaut had developed the ability to turn invisible after being attacked by a solar storm.

Of course, he did not need to be attacked by a solar storm. He only needed to use the power of the runes.

The English word “invisible” suddenly appeared in Lugh’s mind. The system automatically transformed it into a rune.

“Invisibility.”

Lugh chanted the rune pronunciation of “invisibility” in English.

In the next second, a huge rune phantom appeared in the air and enveloped Lugh with light.

Lugh’s body gradually became transparent and finally disappeared.

Before he left, Lugh restored the bent iron railing to its original state. He fought the urge to laugh when he thought of the shocked expression that would appear on Berg’s face when the tyrant found out that Lugh was no longer in prison.

Outside the door, two soldiers were guarding both sides of the prison entrance with weapons in their hands.

Lugh walked toward the two soldiers and deliberately danced around them. He wanted to know if he really had become invisible.

The two soldiers stood their watch, unaware that their prisoner was prancing around them.

Learning that the soldiers really could not see him, Lugh felt bold and slapped one of the soldiers in the face.

Of course, Lugh had only to tap the soldier’s cheek lightly. Otherwise, the slap would have been enough to smash the soldier’s head.

“Roger, I hate your jokes,” roared the soldier whose face had been slapped. “Why did you hit me?”

“When did I hit you? You must have seen a ghost!”

As the two soldiers started arguing, Lugh left the prison, covering his mouth to hold back his laughter.
