Hunting Bandits or Cheat Command

"Young Master Ergons, are we really going to hunt down these bandits? With just the forces we can muster right now? This isn't carrying out a mission, it's clearly a suicide mission!"

Flames were ignited, light dispelling the darkness, and three figures gradually emerged from the gloomy environment.

"Exactly! Sir Davis Tervalin, sent by the main family, seems to be here to help, but he's actually here to escort us. If a real fight breaks out, we have to watch out for him backstabbing us! If you really accept this order, I'm afraid Tervalin Manor will belong to him!"

In a barn, an old man and a young man were excitedly trying to persuade someone. The one being persuaded was sitting on a pile of rotten wood, looking like an armored knight. The crackling fire on the burning logs couldn't illuminate the face hidden in the shadow of his helmet. A pair of eyes reflected light from the darkness, staring directly at his hands warming by the fire. He seemed to be ignoring the words of his two loyal servants.

"Young Master, I know you only intend to patrol the knight's domain, but what if we encounter bandits? Lord Father just died, and the main family clearly wants to reclaim the manor. Judging by the situation, these bandits who suddenly appeared might have been arranged by the main family..."

"I know!"

The young master spoke, showing no sign of nervousness: "I know they have ill intentions, and I know this won't be easy to handle. Even if we get through this, there will still be trouble."

The two loyal servants wanted to persuade him further, but the young master made the final decision: "You two may go. Entertain Sir Davis Tervalin and his accompanying knights well. Sometimes, improper hospitality is an excuse for an attack!"

The old servant, Adam, having more experience, pulled his son Adamson, who was still complaining that the white bread was being fed to dogs, and left, giving Young Master Ergons some space.

Only after the two had truly left did Young Master Ergons let out a long sigh. The profound aura and composed demeanor he had maintained instantly collapsed.

"Holy crap, how do I break out of this opening death trap? I've hit rock bottom. Why did I have to transmigrate?"

Young Master Ergons, 17 years old, a squire, with a tall stature, a strong physique, and considerable martial prowess, had completely transcended the commoner class. If his father, Sir Nova Tervalin, hadn't died in a lord's private battle half a month ago, Ergons Tervalin would have continued as a squire in the main family, and after ten years of court knight service, he would have inherited Tervalin Village, named after Tervalin Castle, and become a low-ranking noble with a fief.

Alas, those were all "ifs." The old knight died mysteriously in a lord's private battle, a rare occurrence for nobles. The young master also died of "excessive grief" on his way back to the village for the funeral. It was only because the dirt road between Tervalin Castle and Tervalin Village, less than thirty miles long, was so close that no one noticed that Ergons' soul had been replaced by a teenager from Earth when he got into the carriage.

"I was just playing Mount & Blade at home with cheat mode enabled over the weekend. Do I really have to be sent here for that?"

This Ergons Tervalin was clearly killed on the road, all so that this Sir Davis Tervalin could take over Tervalin Village as a knight from the main family. "I guess Sir Davis is wondering now why I'm alive again?"

What to do now? Although this village was a knight's domain, it only had 17 households, with fewer than 20 adult males. According to the kingdom's laws and obligations to the liege lord, Tervalin Village should organize a force of 12 men, providing their own equipment and supplies, to respond to the lord's conscription. In the battle where the old knight died, all four able-bodied men perished, and the seven elderly and weak were all injured. Two were crippled, and the others couldn't form a fighting force. The meager severance pay for Tervalin Village was barely managed by emptying the coffers of Sir Nova Tervalin, who came from a collateral branch. Ergons touched the hole in the coat of arms armor on his chest, which was the fatal wound of the old knight. Redeeming this armor and the knight's longsword by his side was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Tervalin Village was truly out of money. They couldn't even afford to hire people to make up the numbers.

"If only I had a cheat system like the protagonists in novels." Clutching the last few silver coins in his wallet, Ergons felt bitter: "Playing Mount & Blade at home was fun, but they shouldn't have actually sent me here to fight! Besides, in novels, transmigration always comes with a cheat system. Where's mine?"

"Buzz~"

A dull thud made his scalp tingle. A broken phantom image, like a short-circuited screen, suddenly appeared before his eyes, resembling the screen and keyboard of his laptop.

"System startup incomplete, retrying..."

"Startup abnormal, retrying..."

"..."

Each prompt was accompanied by a buzzing vibration that made Young Master Ergons Tervalin's face numb. The system finally seemed to give up and stopped trying.

"System completely failed to start, limiting initial functions..."

Then, the damaged laptop screen that Ergons Tervalin had been watching for half an hour disappeared, replaced by a floating transparent keyboard. The original laptop display had shrunk to the size of a cartridge, becoming something like a "mini-map."

"Did this laptop turn into a Super Famicom learning machine? Or maybe a mobile phone peripheral?" The absurd thought arose, along with the question of how to use this "cheat system" now.

He didn't need to explore it himself. Some key combinations on the keyboard lit up, and the "mini-map" provided explanations:
