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
25- Escape 1 “Well, is this the guy who killed the young master?” “We did not see anyone entering or leaving, so it must be him.” “Damn bastard! Because of him, now we will be getting punished or hanged.” “Hey, look he is just a kid.” “Yeah, did this kid really kill the young master?” “There is no need to doubt; look at his hand, he is carrying young master’s Practice sword and also wearing his Leather armor.” I heard these people’s conversation and understood that they recognized me for murdering the guy and confirmed as they saw me holding the sword and wearing the Leather armor of the man I killed. I looked around and counted that 5 people have surrounded me. And they were watching me vigilantly. As I was thinking about how to escape, I heard, “Quick call the leader and others. We don’t have enough strength to stop someone who can kill the young master.” “Hey, what are you scared of? Although we might be weak, but look at this kid he is not strong.” “Yeah, it looks like
26- Escape 2 As I decided on my plan of action, I immediately ordered the system to put all the remaining 20 free stat points in the ‘Agility’ stat. As soon as the system executed the command, I felt changes in my muscles and suddenly I felt my muscles cramp and felt very uncomfortable and painful for 1 or 2 seconds. Then the pain gradually subsided. Although, I wanted to ask the system about this issue, but I had no time for that. I immediately tilted my body and before the ‘Beginning Stage’ guy could respond, I was already near him and lifted my sword and beheaded him. And without looking back, I activated ‘Sprint’ and ran at full speed. ‘ding’ ‘Killed Beginning stage Level Human’ ‘+1400 Exp’ ‘Level up’ ‘Level up’ ‘Level up’ ‘Obtained 30 free stat points and for leveling up 3 times consecutively extra 6 free stat points are awarded’ When I heard the system notification that I leveled up, immediately there was an increase in my speed, and I was overjoyed. I was thinking o
