As morning comes I return to my home fully drenched in blood. I clean my black cloak which now could be renamed to a red cloak and sharpen my dagger which has gotten duller. Then I go lie in a bath and think.
Tonight's harvest was good I managed to get 13 souls Now all what's left is to absorb them
"Consume all" I said excitedly waiting for the feeling.
*** Absorbing the souls held ***
x13 Weak commoner souls.
Strength +3
Dexterity +5
Stamina +3
Perception +2
That's so much better. I guess commoners don't give many stats, but it feels like my stats went up by miles. I should kill this many every night. There are many people here anyways. Over 300 thousand the map said.
Then I go to sleep and repeat the slaughter the next night. The streets of this town getting bloodier every night. The 5th night i break into a woman's house and tie her up in a chair, sitting before her with my dagger and my red eyes looking straight into her.
"PLEASE NO. I WANT TO LIVE. I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT." she said while tears run down her face
"And what do I want? I say while i lick my bloody dagger, my eyes still looking into her. Into her soul
"YOU WANT MONEY RIGHT? OR SEX? I CAN GIVE THEM BOTH TO YOU, BUT PLEASE LET ME LIVE" she cries out while her face becomes a river of tears.
I stop licking my dagger, look straight into her and throw it, the dagger landing near her face. Sticking into the wood of the chair
"NOOO, PLEASE LET ME LIVE. I HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR PLEASE" she cries out desperately in a final attempt to persuade me from killing her
I slowly stand up and start walking towards her. She keeps crying our please any other words she can muster, but i walk next to her, grab the dagger and slowly start to drag it from the side of the chair at her head level. She looks at the dagger and start to plea more and more, the dagger coming closer and closer. It touches and cuts her ear in half. Then starts to cut her head. When i finish her head is split in half horizontally. Her brain splattered on the ground. Blood everywhere and the top half of her head mounted on the wall instead of a deer head.
This looks so nice. I should decorate my basement like this and also start torturing people there. From my tests no sounds come up from there, but i should quickly get out of here as guards and maybe even a knight will come here soon and i can't take them on yet.
Reminder on the system given ranks
C rank - knights, high ranking mercenaries, scollars and average monsters
D rank - trained mercenaries, people who can use a sword a bit better than normal
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
As I escape the house from the 2nd floor window onto a roof I see 3 guards running into the house. Then i finally open the system again after 3 days of not checking it as I have been busy resting and killing collecting souls.
*** Achievement unlocked Kill 50 People ***
Kill 50 people
Reward: 5 bonus souls which give +2 to each stat in D rank
I think I should kill 5 more people then I will use all the souls i got during these 4 days of soul collecting. I think I should lie low for the time being as the guards have gotten more and more alert. They arrive very quickly every time they hear screams now.
I finish the gathering and while lying in a bath again say
"Consume all" I said waiting for the feeling to kick in again
*** Absorbing the souls held ***
x47 Weak commoner souls.
x5 low rank soul
Strength +20
Dexterity 24
Stamina +21
Perception +17
Oh yea, while walking though the streets in the dark alley i heard that some organization needs an assassin. I think if i get the job it would be perfect for me. Oh I should also pick up a news paper and check the news
As I start heading out of my hope a bit past noon i grab a newspaper and start reading it
----------------------------------------
A new killer has appeared in Vlaka City
The killed which has appeared in Vlaka city.
he already has already taken lives of 60 people.
The killer targets indiscriminately and each scene is more gruesome than the last.
Lock your doors, window, don't come out at night and hope he doesn't find you.
----------------------------------------
The Guard commander says not to worry
The guard leader Jin says that everything is under control
"This killed has only gotten away for this long because he is new.
We have plans to stop him once for all which we can't reveal for now,
but be at ease as we are spending all manpower tracking him down."
----------------------------------------
Johns pork is 50% off until next Sunday
Johns Special pork is 50% off until next Sunday
John is celebrating his 16th year in business.
For that reason he's making his best selling Special pork cheaper,
so everyone can enjoy it.
----------------------------------------
I throw away the news paper after reading the first page as I can't be bothered reading more
I guess I am quite famous now. And I probably should pay a visit to John and try his pork. If it's not that good then I will pay him a visit at night
I think while chuckling thinking of how i could make Johns organs into a meat shape and hang them. While thinking i don't even notice as I reach the Dark Alley. I snap out of my thoughts and head in. walking past many people who look like thugs until i reach a small tavern which looks like it is abandoned. I knock and a young woman pops out while holding a crossbow.
"Hey, what do you want?" She says a bit angrily.
"I just want to talk business" I say smiling. My eyes slightly glowing red
She let's down her crossbow and says
"Then quickly come in, and if we do business for real I will give you the real knock combination so i don't shoot you"
I grin and walk in. The inside looks nice. Like an information and job center but it's just her in here. We both sit down across a table and start talking
"So what do you want?"
"I would like to take up jobs. you know what jobs I'm talking about"
She starts smiling
"Straight to business I see, then I should test you out." She says as she hands me a piece of paper with a persons name and where they live.
"This is a person a client of mine wanted to get rid off. If you do it until tomorrow I'll work with you. Each job will pay differently, but you should probably be expecting that. NOW GET OUT"
As I start walking out. My eyes glowing redder because of the thought of killing again i say "See you tomorrow". I smile at her and shut the door.
