500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

This was the main reason why these women shouldn't be packed on the road. There was no reason for any of them to be here, and now I was going to have to piss a lot of them off.

,m I started to gather magic, got lower to the ground, and held my thumb to Senna.

"Can you cut me? I need some blood so I can transmute somewhere to stand!" I shouted, and Senna pulled out a dagger, poking my finger with no hesitation.

This was hard, but I was able to write a fast spell circle on my first pass, and then the second pass was to drip the blood. I was able to get some on the ground, but I could hear the women already complaining about getting blood on themselves. Not one of them looked up to see where it came from!

A thin rock pole about five inches in diameter shot up from the ground, and all the women near it jumped back. The pole rose twenty feet, and I lightly touched down on it, cheating with magic to balance myself to make it look easy.

The pole sank down but got wider as it did until I was standing on a five-foot-tall and wide rock stump. The woman finally turned and looked at me, but I had a fierce look on my face.

"Are any of you doctors?!" I roared, then without letting them answer, I continued. "If you are not, get the fuck out of here now, or I am sending you all out on a wave of water! I have come to heal people, and you are all in my way!"

The women all flinched back and tried to turn and run.

"STOP!" I roared again, and everyone froze, making the screams I had been hearing feel like they were coming from all around me.

"You just told them to leave," Senna said as I set her down, and I nodded.

"Yes, I did. And if they trample each other, I am going to have more people to heal if they aren't killed," I growled and let out a sigh.

I was getting worked up over this, and I am sure this is the first time something like this has ever happened. People would be naturally curious, but this was just stupid, and it was overly frustrating to me because I felt like they should know this.

Then the feeling of dread hit me like a wave of nausea, and I could feel my own complexion start to pale. I put a hand up to my head as everyone looked up at me with scared looks.

"Sorry for yelling at you all. I know that you are all concerned about the women, but I need you all to leave. If there are people that can help, they need to have a way to reach the women. Please do not push or shove; just spread the word and get people to start moving," I called out to the women, and there was a collective sigh.

"That was a better way of dealing with things. You should have done that the first time," Senna said in a lowered voice beside me, and I nodded.

"The screams set me off, and I didn't think before speaking. This one is on me, but the fact of the matter still stands. This is going to happen after the next battle. There is a chance that the screams from the Riftwalker will reach the city. As far as I know, there is no way to block them without having a high level of Positive Energy," I explained as the mound I had transmuted sunk back into the ground.

"That is terrifying to think about. Is there really nothing that you can do for the people? You know so much magic, so I just assume that you can do anything. That might be naive of me, but that's how it feels to watch you. I think that many of the other women here feel the same. Even the ones that haven't met you personally have heard enough of your tales to believe the same," Senna explained as she led me to the Care House.

I should be able to stop anything that gets in my way, and I should be able to protect these women. As a man, that was my job.

This world might not have men, but my mind told me that I was a hunter, a fighter, and most importantly, a protector. That was what was frustrating me.

I needed to protect everyone, but I was getting worked up about things that I couldn't control. I needed to stop letting my emotions get the best of me and start using my head.

"I will think of something to help protect everyone. I am not sure how yet, but I will start working on a solution," I said as we stopped in front of a wooden door that had the words "Care House" carved into the wood.

"I will try to think if there is anyone that might be able to help you with this. I am only a guard, and I am really only good at fighting, but I know people," Senna said as she opened the door, and I was hit with the sounds of women's cries and screams.

"Thank you. Now, take me to the person running this place, and I will get started healing," I said, but a silver woman with a white lab coat turned to me.

She looked to be made out of metal, and her skin looked like segments of metal plates put together, but there was something human about the woman.

"You must be the woman everyone is talking about. They say you are a great healer. If this is the case, please assist me with these patients. This is a sickness that I do not know how to treat," The woman said in a somewhat robotic voice.

"Galio, this is Rexa, and she is an Automaton," Senna said, and even will all the screams and cries around me, my stupid man brain wondered if I could fuck it.

Yup, I was a man.
