As my sword passed through his hearth I felt small speck of power surge towards me.

Helper Interface - announcement

You successfully absorbed 32 celestial energy

‘Only 32? That is a stupidly small amount. Just normal needs twenty celestial energy to work. How can they even cast magic’ after few moments of pondering I remembered something ‘Ohh, right they can’t cast any decent magic. That explains why is magic considered to be only myth’

Then, I looked at the corpse again. ‘Of course! I need to destroy any evidence that could point to me. And everyone knows that the best way to clean something is a fire. ’

I walked outside, turned to face the house, and activated . My thoughts could shape flames into different forms. So I shaped them into the one huge surge and poured 200 of CE into them. At that exact moment, a huge wave of pure red fire flew out of my hands. The whole house was covered in unnaturally red flames in almost an instant. And a few seconds later only thing that remained was a huge pile of smoldering ash.

I was aghast ‘This is much stronger than I anticipated. This is bad, such a thing as house instantly burning down will attract too much attention. I need to get out of here.’

I activated and fled in direction of my apartment.

Later that night:

I was lying in my bed and planning my next steps ‘To gain any significant amount of CE, from these humans, I would have to hunt down hundreds of them. And this would be an issue. Such amount of missing and dead people will be too easy to spot’ My face brightened when I found a solution ‘I need to travel and hunt only a few people in each country depending on the size and population.’

After this, I spent some time deciding on which country should I visit as a first one. In the end, I decided on the old good USA because of its high crime rate and population so that no one will miss few dead people especially if they would be members of ethnic minorities. I was also thinking about third-world countries but I decided against them due to them being such shitholes that they disgusted me.

I found and booked a flight on the internet. The departure was tomorrow at 10:12. And the destination was a city of crime and poverty also known as Detroit.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

I started to pack my suitcase but I found a huge problem ‘I can’t just take through the airport a huge pile of coins and weird metallic items such as the mask and sword. It would be amazing if I could just store them in some kind of pocket dimension something like the inventory in games. Maybe there is an ability for...’

In that exact moment and interface showed up with the perfect ability to solve this problem.

‘It looks like a problem is solved’ After I filled all of my gold and other weird items into storage, it reserved 16 of my CE. After that, I packed the rest of my stuff into a suitcase and went to sleep.

One day later:

Everything went without any problems except for the airport staff thinking of me like a lost child but after I showed them my ID they reluctantly believed me and let me through. A few hours later after landing I was in my hotel room. The hotel room I was staying in was pretty decent. There was one big bed, flat TV and own bathroom. I was unpacking my suits and thinking about my next steps ‘Tonight I will go to the streets and hunt some people. Not just one person I want to hunt a whole bunch of them. Luckily for me streets in bad parts of this city after sun dusk should be full of gangsters. But before that, I need to go to the pawnshop and exchange some of the golden coins for cash. ’ I got dressed into the simple black dress and went downstairs into the hotel lobby. I walked through the hotel reception, went outside, and got into the taxis. The ride was short as the nearest pawn shop wasn’t so far from the hotel. I entered the pawnshop with the sound of a small bell alerting the shopkeeper of a customer.

He looked suspiciously at me and said “Hello girl, are you lost?”

I gently smiled and answered “No I am not a child and I am definitely not lost. ”

“If you are not a child then you should have no problems showing me your ID” he replies with an amused look on his face

‘I promise that I will murder the next person thinking of me as some kind of child… Or maybe not, when I think about it now, it is kinda funny that they think a monster such as me is some lost child.’

I showed him my ID and he looked few times between me and the ID and quietly grumbled “Looks real even though it’s a foreign one.” his voice becomes normal again “Okay show me what have you got here for me”.

I showed him a few of the coins.

After a few minutes of carefully checking them, he said “I don’t recognize them as any collector coins. But the craftsmanship on them is of very high quality and is made of pure gold so the price of 3000 dollars for each is appropriate.”

“I accept your offer” I accepted the offer, signed some papers, and got my money.

Then I headed back to the hotel. Where I visited the restaurant in the lobby and went back to my room to dress up for the hunt.
