As he walked through a corridor, a deep cut on his left arm and a small burn mark on his abdomen where he was almost killed by the glancing blow of a fire bolt, he now knew most attacks that common class humans could make, but he had been ambushed earlier on, almost dying, he also knew how those guys on the ladder were so high level, except Thunder which still didn’t make sense, as he himself had now picked out everyone that was alone while avoiding the larger groups, he also hunted monsters on the way, figures most wanted strength in numbers but not all, their mistake…

Butcher(F)
Wait, you already killed 500 living beings with your own hands? Congratulations I guess... what, you expected something for doing your job?
-Murderous Aura(1/10)
(Uncommon)Murderer(F)
Whoa, you did your job a little too well, killed 10 people already, shouldn’t you be focused on the enemy instead of your friends? I believe your ways of playing are kind of counterproductive, but you do you I guess, although I would stop if I were you, not that you deserve any reward for killing your allies
-Murderous Aura(2/10)
‘This is not good, but I have no choice, I don’t want to die.’ he said as he walked in the 3rd area, he spotted the group of two who almost killed him earlier, it appeared to be two young sisters, both lvl1, an uncommon fire mage class {Creepy lvl 1} and an uncommon sword lady class {Scary lvl 1}, he was able to use the bow without being seen again, this time he hit the mage which he had hurt earlier, unfortunately for her this was his one lucky shot, of his many missed ones with the damn bow, more accurately it was the only time he had hit, this one hit her in the back and she collapsed to her injuries, she only managed to say one thing before her death which was something that the system gave to those with high willpower “Soph...” and her sister screamed “Lis!” and as she took her sister’s body in her arms she started crying “Lis, don’t leave me alone! Please, I don’t want to be alone! Not you! Please wake up!” he approached as silently as he could, he knew her one skill sword dance from their last encounter, it massively increased her speed for a few seconds, he needed to be ready, and as she turned to him and took her sword, she was as predictable as he expected, she activated the ability in anger, only to find her throat cut as she passed by, her speed having been used against her, he knew she would try to get behind him. Luke fell to his knees and apologized the same way he did to all the other people he killed recently, he knew they couldn’t listen but he hoped they did either way, so while crying, this time looking at them he said to the dead bodies “I had no choice, forgive me, I am stupid, I had no right to do it, I will try to never forget your face, if I ever find your family I will tell them what happened and consequences be damned, I will take it to myself to leave out of here and realize at least this freedom that everyone wanted” he then bolted to his feet after hearing metal on metal noises in the distance, then took the sword of the last one he killed, it was in better condition than the one he was using even if it was the same sword as every other basic equipment sword and afterwards walked away, tears flowing by his dry and sad eyes as he looked for the next victim to fuel his life, he was wheezing a bit while walking around due to his asthma and continued fighting.
A group saw his footprints and what happened to the young ladies it was a group of ten people, and they started following it, and later they found the cloth pieces scattered, after a few minutes of walking, their leader, Peter, said something taking care not to vomit, he had a daughter that age, and he only got so far into this hell by thinking of her and how he wanted to see her, he had been in that plane after promising her he would come back for her, it was meant to be a simple work trip “This is hell, I can’t believe all those bodies were made by a human being, in fact I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for the mission, he can’t be that strong when we are all level 1, and he was only level 2, and when we glanced at him back then we saw his name, it wasn’t on the leaderboard-” he was about to say something when he re-checked the leaderboard and saw his name, that left him breathing hard, he was already level 3? This should be impossible.

They started hearing a wheezing sound, but before Pete could point it out Robbert their only mage and a funny old man then saw the same thing as Peter and paled until he almost became as white as his old hair and asked “What the hell happened here Pete, he shouldn’t be lvl 3 yet-” a sword appeared on his eye the next second, and a boy crying silently with a top hat and red cape holding the sword came right after the sword, he didn’t hesitate for a second before charging their archer, that missed it’s arrow by an inch, Peter had a class called (Rare)Oath Knight(F), the system gave him that class for promising to come back to his daughter, he even received a quest for it, he also got a special ability called shield of hope from the class, which blocked damage based on his willpower, which he used on the archer, which blocked the first sword attack but not the second, the archer being killed by an upwards stab that impaled him, the group immediately fired arrows but they always seemed to miss by an inch, he threw a staff on the shield of one of their tanks, which distracted the tank, which was a military man called Hank, it distracted him for enough time for him to charge the tank and even move him enough for an attack on his friends, two other swords immediately piercing the eyes of two of Peter’s friends all of that while he dodged two spears aimed at him, it’s almost like he could read the attacks- wait.. “oh no! Run!” Peter said as he charged the man with his armor, sword and shield ready, he knew this skill, Hank had it, it was a skill that allowed him to see where attacks that he’d seen in the past would land, which was why the staff being thrown caught him by surprise, so Peter had no choice but to try something, if he asked for everyone to clear the way he would be ready for it, but by telling them to run the man would expect him to only be trying to buy time, their group knew what he would do too, they had thought of taunting strategies before, the man saw him charging just as expected, so Peter did the most unexpected attack he could, he threw his shield at the boy, but he released his sword and caught the shield and, in a flash, bashed Peter’s skull with that very same shield, stopping his charge, a shimmer of light reflected by a metallic surface came from the man’s cape where his left hand should be, that was the archer’s dagger, somehow the man had picked it up in his way, probably when he threw the staff, Peter smiled knowing what came next ‘Sorry Ann, I won’t be able to see you again’ it was the last thought that Peter had before dying to a dagger that sprouted from the man’s cape as the man stabbed his eye.
After killing the strong group, Luke did the same apology he did back then, he collected the max he could store in his body in the matter of equipment, as he kept walking and wheezing, this group had been following him for too long, so he took the risk and attacked first even if it was a huge group, it was very hard, and he got lucky with the knight, that shield almost got him off guard, but it was still easier than it should, human lives should be harder to claim, but if he dodged the lines and was ready for unexpected attacks on the middle of combat he didn’t have much difficulty, it also seemed like every weapon he touched was his too, it would be weird if he didn’t know it was some system thing most probably, and so he kept trudging along, killing possessed clothing, until he found something interesting happening to his top hat
{possessed hat} (F) [growth/ready]

“Shut up” Luke said, he was tired, he was sad, and above all, he was fed up, it forced him to kill people to survive and now wants to say stuff in his ear when he is in a bad mood, like he is going to listen to it, his emotions were still varying wildly, he was trying not to think of what he was doing, and about his cursed hat, he didn’t care, it was good as it was, and the price of the curse was already high enough, so he just kept killing until he saw nothing left.
He almost fell asleep, it has been almost a week now, he was hungry and thirsty, he just finished killing another person when he heard a ding, it was the second one this day.

A loud rumbling noise echoed in the floor as stairs opened on all the spawns, it was the same in many maze city tutorials, and monsters stopped spawning on the floor, but weirdly, on this tutorial, only one set of feet walked up the stairs from the first to the second floor, from beginning to the end, no one else walked up, and as he walked up, he pressed the token on his cursed hat, as it should be a straight upgrade that fit him, instead of those cursed energy things that the system wanted to offer, he only wanted forgiveness, he thought of the sadness in that girl’s eyes when she saw her dead sister, with a ding he felt the hat leaving his head, and the notification appeared on his face again
-Kill initiates(101/101)
As the hat fell behind him and the prompt appeared on the kill mission, he realized something was wrong, why did the counter go down.
