17- Change in Character Click As I was trying to gather some strength and move, suddenly I heard a sound. Hearing that, I was startled and somehow, I got up and looked in the direction from which the sound came. As I was already in an extremely weak condition and poisoned, I was thinking about whether to hide or look at what it is. Realizing it was not safe to look, I moved to a nearby tree that was big enough to cover my thin and weak body. By exhausting my remaining strength, I got to the back of the tree and saw that the tree had a hole, big enough for a person to pass through. After I entered the hole, I saw that the tree was hollow and at least 2 people can fit in the tree’s internal area. CLICK After entering the tree, I sat down trying to recover my strength when, I heard that the sound which I had heard earlier, was getting closer. I heard the nearby bushes rustle and felt that some animal or human was moving in my direction. As I was in no conditio
18- First Kill Since he is around Demi-human level; I think after killing him, I can level up multiple times and get many so-called free stat points. With free stat points, I could allocate those to my stats, as I have low stats. And if I increase my stats, the chances of survival in this forest will also increase. But here is the problem, I have to make sure that I kill him in one hit because it is a known fact that as we cultivate, our body also gets stronger; and since I have such weak strength and stats, I am not sure if I can kill him easily. As I was thinking about how to kill this guy, I saw his fingers twitch momentarily. Seeing this, I realized that I need to take action immediately because he might wake up anytime now; I saw a sharp rock near the river shore. Seeing the rock, I made a decision and ran to pick up the rock. Hurriedly I picked up the rock and ran to the man. I made a quick decision and took my shot. A human’s body has many weak areas and to kill a
19- First Job Seeing me approach, he too moved towards me and his mouth was close enough to my ear and I was waiting for his words. Suddenly, the man used both hands and gripped my neck. I did not notice his actions as I lowered my guard due to my guilt and ‘kind’ heart. When I felt the man’s tight grip around my neck, only then did I realize that I was fooled or it was my foolishness that led to me lowering my guard. And now I am going to die if I don’t get out of this crisis. The man was using his strength to kill me or was even trying to break my neck and take me along with him to the afterlife. It looked like he was using his remaining strength. I was panicking because I lost control and couldn't put up resistance. As I realized that I was slowly losing strength; I tried to remove the man’s hand but could not do it. Realizing that, I hit the man’s neck and all the other areas where he was wounded. I remember that the pain was staggering and maybe he fought with someone a
20- Hiding The group of guards was panicking because they are going to die due to the death of the ‘Young Master’ and there is no way to get out of this situation. As they were trembling and thinking about how to inform the clan, the leader exclaimed, “Damn bastard!!! Who dared to kill the Young Master?” Hearing the leader’s words, all the guards were startled, “What!?!?” “Leader are you sure about that?” The leader replied “Look at the throat and the back of the head, it looks like someone stabbed him in the neck area and hit the back of his head with something hard” Hearing this, all guards saw the wound on the neck and back of the head. “Look there is a stone which has blood on it and it looks like the master was hit with this stone” Said a guard and ran to pick up a stone with the blood and brought it to show to everyone. “Yes, it looks like some human killed the young master and robbed him” Said the leader. Hearing this all the guards were shocked and became angry. B
21- Getting Started 1 “HP... HP... HP?” Remembering that I still have to recover my HP, I remembered that I took the storage ring of the man whom I killed a few minutes ago. I remember that when building a connection with a storage ring; one needs to drip their blood on the ring and a connection will be established with the person’s mind. And if someone wants to steal another person’s storage ring and obtain all the things inside it, then there are two ways to do that. The first is that the person who owns the ring should be killed. When that person dies, the connection is naturally broken. And the new owner can establish a connection when he drips his blood on the ring. The second is that the storage ring must be destroyed. When the storage ring is destroyed, all the contents in the ring will fall out of it. But there are two types of storage rings, the first type is the Earthly Storage ring and the second type is the Heavenly storage ring. Earthly storage rings are
22- Getting started 2 Seeing that I got around 100 HP from one pill, it was enough for now or so I thought. But when I heard that the system removed the poison suppression and the poison produced a negative buff, once again I panicked and immediately took the last healing pill. It's not that I don’t want to save it as a backup but I know that I am in a forest with a lot of dangers and the newly created guard ‘enemies’. If I get hit by anyone's attack then I will lose HP and instead of dying from Poison, I might die because of their attack. So, is better to take an early precaution, instead of dying from a small mistake. ‘ding’ ‘+100 HP’ Right now, my top priority would be to fill my HP to its limit and then increase my stats and buy some things from the shop as this storage ring has some money and animal parts that can be put to use to buy good things. “Status” ---------------------------- Name: Orochi Race: Human Rank: G Level: 5/100 Exp: 500/600
23- Getting started 3 Again, I opened the ‘status’ window ---------------------------- Name: Orochi Race: Human Rank: G Level: 5/100 Exp: 500/600 Title: None Condition: Poisoned Stats: (Available Free Stats Points: 20) HP: 206/500 MP:22/50 Strength: 15 Agility: 15 Defense: 15 Resistance: 15 Sense: 15 Stamina: 13 ------ Fatigue: 3/130 Intelligence: 17 Charm: 10 (can be increased with Free Stats Points, but won’t increase when leveling up) Vitality: 2 (cannot be increased with Free Stats Points) Luck: 8 (cannot be increased with Free Stats Points) ------------------------ Skills: None Jobs: Thief. ----------------------- As I was done allotting my ‘free stat points’, then I came to the newly acquired Job ‘Thief’. I asked “System, what is this ‘thief’ job, and why did I get that job?” ‘ding’ ‘The host obtained ‘Thief’ job because the host activated the conditions for it.’ Reading this I had a vague idea, but still asked “What were the conditions for the act
24- Exposed The price of the ‘Empty slot for Job’ was just now 1 million Sikka, and I just turned my attention from the shop screen to the system notification for two seconds, when I looked back at the shop screen; I was shocked as the price of ‘Empty slot for Job’ was increased by ten times and now it is 10 million Sikka. I immediately asked the system, “System why did the price of the ‘Empty slot for Job’ increase to 10 million Sikka?” ‘ding’ ‘The ‘Empty slot for Job’ is a rare item and it is sold in limited quantity.’ ‘It's like when a product’s stock is less but the demand is more, the price increases’ When I heard this and thought about something. To clear my doubt, I asked again “So, if I buy the ‘Empty slot for Job’ again then its price will increase again?” ‘ding’ ‘correct’ When I heard all this, I almost fainted. Because if that’s how it is then, now it is 10 million Sikka, next time it will be 100 million Sikka or (may even exceed or decrease), after that 1 billio
