Every FFF Group Member's Dream is the Flame-Flame Fruit!

The night lights, the prosperity and beauty of the metropolis, were fully immersed in the moment of night.

If the daytime's heat and brightness symbolized work and operation, then the night's depth and myriad lights must symbolize extravagance and indulgence.

Those upper echelons, beyond the reach of ordinary people, enjoyed the night in the most prosperous city centers with their dazzling lights.

Night was still their paradise.

Fang Ran had seen such lights before. Perhaps it wasn't in the city he was in, but he had still seen such prosperous areas, sparkling and shimmering with lights in the night.

Many times it was a glance back when he was going home alone.

Sometimes it was after he and his classmates had finished fooling around, and they all looked at the lights of the tall buildings far away in the sky.

Then they joked with each other, "What are you looking at? It's not like we can go there anyway," and they smiled at each other, said goodbye, and went home.

Yes, Fang Ran still remembered the very center of the city lights that he had seen many times but never been to.

Perhaps he might never be able to go there in his entire life.

Fang Ran still remembered the last time he saw this kind of light...

Wasn't it also when he was being chased and bitten on the butt by monsters?!

"Ahhhhhh!!!! Help~ me~!!!"

Fang Ran was running for his life on an unknown street, then he roared heroically with a hoarse voice!

Damn the Night Battles System!!!

Fang Ran's heart was cursing non-stop for a moment!

Why the hell did I come in again!!

It's been three days since I was dragged in!

Once a day!

Are you f*cking letting people live or not!!

System, did you take aphrodisiacs?!

According to the plot of novels, after I, your sister, experienced the novice dungeon, shouldn't I first show my talent in reality, have beauties throw themselves at me, get to know people from the upper class, and enhance my strength through adventures before starting the next dungeon!!!

You, your sister, are not playing by the rules!

Do you know that if you wrote a book like this, even editors wouldn't read it!

Stupid idiot Night Battles System, I'm cursing you, can you hear me!!

Fang Ran roared and cursed heroically in his heart, then with a bitter face and a look like he was about to cry, he added the next sentence in his heart.

If you heard me, then quickly make those dozen or so stupid idiots behind my butt stop, System-sama, I beg you!

More than a dozen dark figures chased behind Fang Ran. They had nothing on their bodies, only their eyes glowed with a strange purple light, and they chased after Fang Ran by hopping like frogs.

"Damn your sister! Enderman!! Your grandpa, System!!"

Fang Ran glanced back in his busy schedule, scared out of his wits, and then continued to run wildly. He had heard before that someone, under the threat of a bear, activated their life instinct and jumped two meters to climb onto the wing of an airplane to escape. Fang Ran didn't believe it before, but he believed it now. Before, he could only run a hundred meters at this full speed.

But now, under the threat of a dozen little blacks biting at his butt, he had surpassed his limits!

He ran two hundred meters.

Well, that was actually useless.

"Gasp... pant... I'm... gasp... pant... going... gasp... pant... to... gasp... pant... die!"

After two hundred meters, Fang Ran was already out of breath. He felt like his throat was on fire, just like the first time he ran a thousand meters.

It's over, I might be done for. Not only are these damn dogs numerous, but they also run faster than the zombies from last time.

This time, I couldn't even run a single street.

Damn it!

Fang Ran felt the soreness in his thighs reach its limit. Suddenly, his legs gave out, and he fell face-first onto the ground like a dog eating shit!

"Gasp! ... Gasp... Gasp!!!"

Fang Ran gasped violently, turned his head to look at the dozen little blacks who had already caught up, and finally let out a forceful breath.

Do I have to fight with all my might?

But just as he was thinking this, a wild voice rang out from above and behind the little blacks!

"Flame Ring. Fire Pillar!"

A figure fell from high in the sky, the flames on his hands rotating with his body, expanding into a massive fire pillar!

It slammed down from the sky and crashed into the ground!

Boom!!!

Fang Ran swore he had never seen such a big fire in his life! Who the hell had ever seen a fire pillar several meters wide!

As the fire pillar slammed down, the surging heatwave and wild flames instantly engulfed all the little blacks!

Then, from within the fire pillar, a person slowly walked out. He wore black denim pants and a dark jacket. His left hand was casually tucked into his hair, tidying his hairstyle that had been messed up by the flame's wind pressure.

Fang Ran was stunned.

Holy crap! Brother, you are the ultimate example of 'Cool Guys Never Look at Explosions'. Do you have to be this cool?! Aren't you hot?!

But Fang Ran quickly noticed a fact that made his eye twitch.

That was, not only were there exploding flames behind this guy, but his body was also burning with flames.

Brother, are you showing off like this with your life?

But soon, another fact that shocked Fang Ran occurred. The cool and unrestrained young man walked near him, waved his hand casually, and all the flames on his body returned to his hand, as if they had never appeared!

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

Fang Ran immediately cried out in surprise like a rooster, as if he suddenly understood something!

Could this be, this is that!

That! The ability that all of us FFF Group members most hope to possess!

Flame-Flame Fruit?!

"A newcomer?"

The man walked up to Fang Ran, looked at him sprawled on the ground with a shocked expression, thought for a moment, then smiled and asked in return.

"Uh, yes!"

Fang Ran felt a bit awkward, then admitted the fact that he was a noob.

"Oh, well, this is really..."

Hearing Fang Ran's reply, the young man rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

"What is it?"

Fang Ran couldn't help but ask. Brother, saying half and leaving half like that makes me really anxious!

"Nothing, it's just that you're particularly unlucky!"

The unrestrained and casual man smiled heartily, almost giving Fang Ran a thumbs-up.

Fang Ran: "..."

That stings, buddy.

"This scenario is a random special scramble mode, not a normal scenario, so you got dragged in just because you're too unlucky, and you're also a newcomer."

The man with the cool dyed hair and a hint of roguishness slapped Fang Ran, who was looking bewildered, hard on the shoulder and said with a laugh.

Fang Ran: "..."

Brother, is that how you chat? Acting all familiar, slapping someone's shoulder, and then laughing heartily and gloating about how unlucky they are?

Forget it, considering you just saved me, and considering I can't beat you, hmph, I'll let you off.

After laughing for a good while, he came back to his senses and saw Fang Ran staring at him with a speechless expression. Only then did he smile awkwardly to cover his embarrassment.

"Ahem... Sorry, I'm a bit thick-skinned."

The young man pretended to clear his throat and said to Fang Ran, who had an 'I don't believe you' expression: "How about this, little brother, I'll take you with me in this scenario?"

"Really!! Is that really okay?"

Fang Ran instantly snapped out of his previous 'salted fish' expression and put on a shocked look.

"Yeah, sure. I also came from the newcomer era, and I know how difficult it is. How much easier things would be if someone just told you a few simple things."

The young man smiled, then shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I'm kneeling in gratitude, big shot!"

Fang Ran was instantly moved to tears: "My name is Fang Ran, please take care of me!"

The young man listened, then smiled and asked: "Real name?"

"Ah!?" Fang Ran looked bewildered. You can't use your real name in Night Battles?

"Well, you're still a newcomer, so it doesn't really matter, but it's best to use a fake name or something in the future. After all, this is Night Battles, and you don't want the grudges here to affect reality, right?"

The young man spread his hands and smiled, "Besides, maybe this alias will become even more famous as your strength grows in the future."

"Mhm mhm mhm!!!"

Fang Ran nodded like a pecking chick.

"But anyway, you're so weak, only E-Rank, it doesn't matter."

Then the young man added another sentence.

Pfft! Fang Ran felt a knife being plunged into his chest, which was named 'self-esteem'.

"Let's go, we'll get a map first, figure out which city this is, then go to the city center. I'll also tell you some basic common sense along the way."

The young man said, then added as if he suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, my name is Si Ai. You can just call me Brother Ai."

"Uh... Brother Ai... there's something I'm really curious about and want to ask."

"What is it?"

"You must have the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, right?"

"..."

"No! I have the power of a Fire Spirit Elemental Body."

"Brother Ai, you seemed to pause just now."

"Your illusion."

"And your move just now seemed to be named after something from One Piece!"

"Your illusion."

"But Brother, your name is just reading someone else's name backward!"

"Your illu... uh, that's a coincidence."

"...Brother Ai, is it okay for you to argue like this?"

"No, I really am a Fire Spirit Elemental Body."

"Brother, the ability you just mentioned doesn't seem to be pronounced that way..."

"Kid, are you a shut-in?"

"Yeah, what about it?" (Of course.jpg)

"...Nothing, pretend I didn't ask."
