“It’s just perfect!” I beamed.Not only had my first theory been proven right, but I also got a load of (G) Karma Points as returns. What more could I ask for?‘With this many points… I should be able to upgrade [Subspace] to Rank C!’Doing that would provide me with more features and abilities. The mere thought of it made my body throb with excitement. I could barely hide the overwhelming expectations welling up within me.It felt strange that I felt little to no remorse for those who had died. If anyone heard of what I had done to achieve my goals, they would label me as a wicked being. After all, it may have been indirect, but I had practically sent those Gifted to their deaths.While the deaths of the Camp’s Subjugation team members couldn’t really be blamed on me, the deserters that I had captured using [Subspace] were forced to fight Demons by me.I had caused their deaths!However, was it really as simple as that? Looking at things objectively, they were bound to die eventually

“Hold on… this makes no sense…” Words spilled out of my mouth as I remembered something very important.The notion that human life wasn’t cheap rang true in my mind. However, not every life was equal. Even in modern society, humans weren’t equal.Being weighed by the scales of society, certain humans would always gain the upper hand and be regarded as superior. That simple concept hadn’t changed yet.The only difference now was that they were now using the method of allocating worth. And the System does this using EXP and Levels.‘The higher a person’s level is, the more they are worth…’ I reasoned. Evil Aligned Gifted were most familiar with this since there was a vast difference in EXP when they killed two Gifted with different Levels. In a way, it was no different from measuring the worth of Demons.My point? If this applied to EXP, then surely the same method had to apply to my (G) Karma Points.Of the forty Subjugation team members who had died, twenty-four of them were killed b

Okay, now this was just ridiculous!How was this anything befitting a ‘Thief’? The Skills I got resembled something a Mage or Wizard would have. How could I, as a Thief be getting magic-related Skills?Still, I couldn’t complain since their effects were pretty decent. Not only did I receive an MP boost, but I also had random effects that were bound to help me once I got into a pinch. The only problem was the unpredictability of the situation.I didn’t like the fact that I was going to be kept in the dark about things. In any case, I would need to thoroughly research all of the abilities, skills and other things that I’d just gotten.The new abilities of [Subspace].My new Skills, that I got from both the Demon Cores and my new Secondary Job.There was so much to do, and so little time.I saw that my Job had also Leveled Up, so that meant I now had an additional skill that I wasn’t aware of.“Skill Slot.” I voiced out.The System responded promptly and displayed its golden window, as

“Damn… I put too much strength into it, didn’t I?”The sound of wood scattering about still filled the uneasy air that seemed to surround me. It was a sensation I was very familiar with… the bloodlust of the Demons.“GARRIUUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIKKKKK!!!”Their deafening roars filled the air as I instantly saw a multitude of arrows coming toward me. They had to have been at least a hundred. “, , , ”My brain went into overdrive and time slowed down instantly. The whirring arrows seemed to hang in midair, moving ever so slowly as they broke through the air. They were faster than I had thought they would be, considering all my Stats had been ridiculously buffed. Focusing my sharp vision on them, I realized why that was the case.“Ahh… they’re coated with energy, mana eh?”I looked at the thousands of monsters before me. None seemed like the type to shoot arrows. That meant… the archers were hiding behind these buff-looking warriors and tankers. ‘But, that doesn’t explain why I can’t even

Now done with the first batch, my eyes leisurely slid around as I lifted my gaze to the second gate that seemed to call unto me.In the past, I wouldn’t have dared to consider indulging my desires like this, risking my life unnecessarily. However, it was different now. Even when I faced so many monsters that would have sent three signals, I didn’t see a single one pop out.“I guess I’ve become a little stronger…” Walking swiftly toward the gate, I arrived within what seemed like a moment’s breath.I currently had , , , , , and active. Even though they wouldn’t be going into Cooldown anytime soon, it felt like a waste to leave them burning up without any target to use them on.Now standing before the gate, it looked bigger than the one from before for some reason. It definitely looked tougher— more difficult to pass through. Behind this barrier was the next wave.I didn’t need a single moment to think. Grasping my fingers and turning my right hand into a fist, I casually punched my
