For a while I watched the embarrassment on the face of my partner, and only after a long pause did I remember. Nausea rose up in my throat. Somehow squeezed out:

- It's all right, - and turned back to the scene of the Hero and the Devil.

It's better to watch a sheep than to stir up a pile of shit.

- No, it's not okay. I know.” The Sibyl touched my cheek, and it was at that moment that Jerome faltered.

But we must pay tribute - although he noticed the shadows on the wall, he was not interrupted. The voice quickly leveled off.

I pulled away, easily intercepting the healer's hand and lowering it down.

“That was once,” I reminded him. - Just for the sake of the contract. Forget and never remember.

- Hope. I don't want you to hold a grudge against me.

Jerome stuttered again. I winced. The young man is too attentive to details. Right now the Sibyl is ripping open his heart like a plow through a field.

I wanted to call a break, take these two out, explain everything to them, make them kiss a

    He pulled his hair, pulling the dumbass off the bed. He immediately curled up, covering his head with his hands. Having kicked him properly, ignoring the plaintive groans, he took out a knife and forced him to look at me.“If you do something like that again with the things of the Sibyl, I will turn your nose into a pig's penny,” the blade pressed against the cheek of the frightened “Hero”, leaving a scratch on it. - Do you understand me, freak?- Y-yes... I'm sorry.Wincing at the trembling voice, I stood up.- Get dressed. We're going to Jerome.- Yes, well ... - Almost crying, the pervert got up from the floor.I stood at the door, carefully watching the half-wit and mechanically playing with the knife. The thick handle twisted in the fingers as the grip changed over and over again.Hastily and confused, the man deigned to get dressed. He stood up, looking at me questioningly."Get out," he ordered, waving his knife towards the door.Dejected, the idiot went out into the corridor.

    A wave of heat swept in from outside. The pain began to recede, as if it had been brushed off me.Received 0.5 experience.When I opened my eyes, the tables were shifted again and the crowd was buzzing about the fight. Someone shouted:- All right, Dehra! I bet on you!I nodded and stepped back from the table. He returned to the center of the ring, stretching his shoulders. Despite the hunger, I felt wonderful.- Gentlemen, it's time to bet! Jerome announced. “The next opponent is not very strong, but that does not deprive him of the chance to win against the Demon!” Meet Knotty!I also knew this face. We approached each other. I smiled and got the same answer. We shook hands.- You quickly got up, buddy, - the bald man, whom I saw yesterday at the local healer, grinned. - Won a name and a girlfriend in a day. I mean, it's masculine.- And you, I see, have healed your wounds and still remember me. Girl don't mind your fight?"She's all for it," Knotty chuckled. - After defeating you,

    - I don't know who you can fall in love with on a day of acquaintance.- You said you didn't like the Sibyl.- Spoke. Don't know. After the first fight, I looked at myself differently."Don't you dare use the Sibyl. She won't stop thinking about you, obviously. But if you're just using it...- And you're using me. She is using you. I'm using both of you. And we all use that jerk who is supposedly a servant. And he is us. Each has its own benefit. She breaks your heart, so why do you think you should take care of her? - a straightforward answer escaped before I could restrain myself. - I won't leave her. But the safety of the heart is not guaranteed.Jerome looked at me silently for a while. I could not understand - whether he wants to hit, or laugh. But in the end, the young man only said dryly:- At least be honest. There's something clever about that.” Standing up, the bartender put the knife into the bowl of fruit. - Let's at least agree that we are all first of all Demons. Brother

    - Okay, I'll figure it out along the way ... - I answered uncertainly, trying to gather my scattered thoughts into a heap."Try to keep me awake," the girl yawned again. - I have a mood, but I don’t have much strength anymore. Talking about pumping does not invigorate ...Instead of answering, I kissed. Now it has become much easier. Just like in the ring - only without adrenaline in the blood.And it's true. Why think about love if you can't even predict tomorrow?A unit of experience has been gained.Quietly closed the door behind him. The corridor was empty. The pig is sleeping. Where is Jerome?The hostess was not there. Instead, a cat sat on the table. Or a cat. I saluted the animal that was watching me closely and went out into the street.A pleasant lethargy spread through the body after the caresses of the Sibyl. The night breeze greeted me unfriendly. Still - to go out in one shoe and the likeness of breeches, which until recently were pants.There was nowhere to take new clo

    You bought everyday clothes with special properties!Would you like to make her your default outfit? After death, you will appear in these clothes. All properties will be saved.The mental answer is yes or no.I was ready to kiss the System while reading this message."Yes!"Your outfit has been updated.Apparently, when they told me that you lose everything when you die, they meant "all military equipment." And really, what else to expect from a crowd of men obsessed with fights? They do not care about a sense of style and a spectacular look. The most important thing for them is armor and weapons. Accordingly, they think about these losses.Pig and I went outside. The downpour ended, which was logical for such a strong weather: only occasionally small drops fell from the sky.I looked at the dirt under my feet. This is able to turn shoes into viscous pads in just a couple of steps. But, thanks to the enchantment for cleanliness, lumps of dirt peeled off the shoes almost immediately.

    I knocked and waited for the man to open the door. His face was already unbandaged. Surprisingly, the Sibyl's ointment did its job - only hematomas and fresh scars remained.- Yes, boss?- Jerome was killed. So right now, you'll be training me.***There are two important components in combat: defense and attack.I preferred to combine them, because this is a necessary measure when your body does not have explosive strength, but is mobile and flexible.Pig has the opposite situation - he could either defend himself or attack. This is due to the fact that his body is clumsy, but strong.First of all, I wanted to find out the difference in our strength with him. In fact, not in dry terms.So we started testing. Initially, I lagged behind Pig in Strength, overtaking in Agility. However, the difference between us and him was not so noticeable in the checks - there was a feeling that Pig was missing something. There was strength, but he applied it incorrectly. When we fought, he made effor

    As I was about to answer, I suddenly heard an angry growl behind me:- Stay where you are! Show your faces!- We'll run! I yelled as I jumped up.I was not even going to find out who tried to detain us.***We got to the lodging house quite late. The moon barely struggled with the clouds, trying to give the earth the last grains of light."I'm tired," Sibyl groaned as she made her way to the bed. - This is the most idiotic night in the last month...Without answering, I collapsed next to him. The body finally said goodbye to the very concept of "energy". I just wanted to lie down and do nothing.- Tell me, what kind of adequate person would ask to kick his ass in a tavern full of drunken bastards?- A man who tomorrow fight to the death with a brutally pumped bastard.My attempt at diplomatic protection failed."Don't you and Jerome think you've gone too fast?" - The Sibyl no longer hid her irritation. - Of course, I understand that your ambitions have played in the ass. But you're ma

    Pulling back, I reluctantly told. About everything. And about the Sibyl, and about Jerome. And about our plans with him. Alliel listened attentively, but as soon as I finished, she returned to the topic of my betrayal.- Why does it bother you so much?- Because I need you. And I don't even know why.Alliel smiled like I was completely stupid.- Then what's wrong?- In terms of?- If you want me, not her, what's wrong?- The fact that I had sex...Alliel laughed. Loudly, sincerely, throwing back his head.- If only you knew how many tehra'svoe and tehra'shoe I had for two hundred years... - the girl wiped her tears of sincere joy. And for some reason I felt a pang of jealousy. - Get it right, Japanese. I really liked you. But life does not rest on us alone and our feelings. There is duty, there are circumstances, there is influence. If you have to fuck tho'ell to keep you whole, fuck it. Let these thoe teach my tehra'svoo the art of dealing with girls.

    The blacksmith's apprentice looks on with interest. In a small town, such things are rare, so the merchant immediately called the artisan, and he grabbed the apprentice ... And so the four of them stood, crowding around the dagger of the Angel.- The metal is good, - the blacksmith said quietly, pointing with his finger; the apprentice listened attentively. - They call it the steel of the titans. Almost impossible to break, only melted at a very high temperature ...- Are you squeezing? - asked the merchant, looking at the craftsman.“Of course,” the broad-shouldered man replied. - I'll have to kill for this time, but I can.- Why do you want to sell it? - the apprentice asked me.And for this question he was rewarded with looks full of horror. The blacksmith had already raised his hand to slap the back of the head, and the young man dodged aside.“I don’t need expensive things,” he answered, moving the stiletto closer to the merchant. - Noticeable - even more so. I'm just a hunter.-

    Touching the crossbow, he took it in his hands, tried to pull the bowstring. She cut into her fingers. She walked reluctantly, bending her wooden shoulders.- Come on ... - I asked, pushing it to the limit with the last of my strength. - Ready.It will be inconvenient to use a crossbow at such a pace. It is worth keeping it charged and at hand.Bolt lay in his hand. Turning the tip in the dim light of the stove, he put it into the socket. Pointed at the wall. Narrowed his eyes. Who knows. Will have to check how it shoots. A crossbow is a powerful thing, but very inconvenient for a traveler. Low rate of fire, and most of the creatures are mobile and poorly protected. Except that…I was reminded of Heroes dressed in armor. Which neither sword nor arrow usually pierce. I smiled wickedly. Get a bolt in the chest, which you can also pull out the hell, because it's stuck in steel. Why not joy for a lousy little man? From this point of view, the crossbow can be left.- Well, let's be friends

    They were waiting for me in the dark. The purest darkness swirled with the vapors of the night, and they were pierced by the fire of the fire. Empty mouths of streets going nowhere. Too hard ground, as for the feet of such a lost one. But they waited, leaving a secret among the corpses.- You still killed Beam.I stopped. Pain pounded through my nerves, fatigue huddled in every muscle, lost thoughts were replaced by clear realizations.- Killed - impassively answered, not even trying to see the invisible.- Do you know what you did?- It was revenge.Words of recognition that took on a new meaning. Not just revenge - it was pleasure.- We had an agreement with Beam. Now it's broken.- And now what?- This city is ours.The rats didn't show up, but I was sure I really heard their voice. Despite the death fever bubbling in the body. It was not delusion, hallucination, imagination.- You broke the contract that held us ten years. Now it's our turn to pay for the service.

    The door shook from the impact. I just need a little time. Recover. No matter how serious the guard was, it was not possible to break in. Wait, freak, we'll see you.Taking back control of the muscles, he glanced at the indicators in the interface. Mana is enough. The berserk has long since died out, depriving me of part of my strength. Not that important.Rolling away from the door, he let it open with a kick. The guard smiles bloodthirstyly. Not afraid? In vain.Impulse Activation.4 mana spent.This time the hit is accurate.

    Thoughts became even darker. Magic can't be used? You can come to terms with this. But what is this strange reaction of the body to a blow from a baton? After all, they hit the prosthesis. Yes, and the first blow was not so painful when the fingers flew. Sadden, of course. The skin was torn, it bled a little. But nothing terrible.The club looked normal. Wooden. The guards said that magic can't be used. Then why am I twisted?“Grid,” I called, casting aside my pride.- Listen, fox.- What kind of club do the guards have?- Who knows?- You do not know?- I know. She is wooden. Probably.- And that's it?Grid was silent. Grimacing, I buried my face in my knees. They took away my crown, weapon, smoking pipe, bag with the Diary. All have been taken. And now they're going to keep it here? What the heck? What is Beam thinking?- Watch out, it's almost night. The torches are almost out.Torches. They burn for quite a long time. Also weird. In Artilos, they had to be changed about once an ho

    And now we are standing in front of some thin guy. Bim is angrily pushing something. For some reason, I crumpled the collar of my shirt, bringing my frightened face closer to me. I punch a couple of times, cutting through the skin with the steel of the prosthesis. The guy screams plaintively, making excuses. As soon as I let him go, he tries to run away. Bim with laughter, like a crazy animal, rushes after him. Jumping! Catches the fugitive, pinning him to the ground. With a crunch, he breaks his hand. I laugh, leaning against the wall. Makes me sick. The ataman takes out a purse from the poor man's pocket. Hangs on his belt. Finally he kicks me and waves his hand to me: "Let's go."And then we broke into someone's house. Long disputes about debts. Powder is sprinkled on the countertop. Beam generously tightens his nostrils. Grabs the bag, pours out more. He invites me with his gaze. I lean. Shaking. I have a hard time taking a short puff. I scream, I shake my head. The system warns a

    - Will you go? Lisa looked at me sadly.- Yes. Try not to worry and relax. Just close behind me.Picking up the bag, kissed the girl goodbye and left the room.***The streets of the city were lifeless. Beam and I are almost the only passers-by. You can't even see the patrols... The houses are standing, crooked and tired. The sun did not have time to flare up as it should, and around us there was a cool twilight. Everything is painted in soft blue. Frost is visible in places.“Everything didn’t go according to plan,” Beam began, dragging on his pipe. “The Recognized didn't go that far before.“They knew about you,” remembering, he suppressed a yawn with difficulty. - Apparently, the Heroes decided to take on the atamans.- Let them take it. You can’t get to the barons, and if they are alive, then there will always be atamans, - the man waved his hand casually. - In any case, we are not rebels. Our interest is in money, not in the killed "heroes". Let them search, sniff. Let's get by w

    - I lost my horse.“Like many of us,” the chieftain chuckled. - Nothing, don't worry. Goldie immediately went to the stable to look after the horses for us. It is at the other end of the village, a little further away. Let's go to.Glancing at the dead Hero, whose body began to gradually crumble into ashes, he grimaced and picked up his sword. It was the only thing of any value. I won't wear metal armor.- Let's go, - with a sigh, he followed the Red Beam.You have successfully completed the quest "The Judgment of the Guilty". Hooray, long live the robbery of innocent souls.You receive a point of experience and a point of Abandonment.For a reward, contact the NPC.***Perhaps it was presumptuous of us. Maybe thoughtlessly. Or maybe ... initially impossible.“It’s someone strong,” Bim muttered.A thinned group of robbers, among whom was I, stood in front of the stable. We were united by one feeling - an animal fear that binds hands and feet. On the hay scattered in front of the stall

    The short weapon slashed at the monster with a bloodthirsty slash. He got confused. I got distracted.Slide on the ground. Grab the hilt of the sword.- Break off! - shouted, twisting the blade.Ribs stop movement.Impulse Activation.Mana spent.The wind became like steel cutting through the sternum. I tensed, planting my feet on the ground, arching, cutting my torso with a furious scream.Impulse Activation.Mana spent.The blade spun along the ribs, splitting the muscles… crippling the organs. The creature crashed down on me. I hear Bim's scream. I hear the beat of my heart. I feel hot blood. I hold the monster with two blades, I rest on my knees. Davit, I'm barely coping, but the job is almost done.The monster shuddered for the last time. Softened, becoming even heavier. Between us is death, between us is blood and pain.
