I breathed heavily as I lay down on the bed. The conversation with my ex-in-laws had indeed been very exhausting. Why did they come and claim me as their son-in-law when they had never even looked at me before?Both the daughter and the parents have no shame. All they think about is money. They only approach people who are useful to them, and when that person is no longer useful, they just throw him away.All the abuses of my in-laws are vividly recorded in my memory. As long as I was their son-in-law, they never once considered me a child.I even remember when Winslow introduced me as their driver at the beginning of my marriage to Sofia. Magdalena was no different from her husband. She even ordered me around like a maid when Sofia and I visited her house.Not to mention her nasty voice telling me I was a poor, useless man. If Sofia had not married me, they would have had a rich son-in-law.Sofia, who I first thought was different, turned out to be the same. It is true that blood is
After that night, the discovery of unnaturally dead human bodies resumed. Their deaths followed the same pattern. The police suspected they had been attacked by bears. People were afraid to go out at night. The streets became quieter than usual, although some people ignored what was going on."Another body was found. This time ....""A male body has been found in a rubbish dump."Every time I changed the TV channel, it was all about this. This was the third time a body like this had been found in Midtown, with the body torn to pieces and the brain removed.I kept up with the developments because I was curious about who had killed these people. Somehow, I wasn't sure if the culprit was a bear, as had been reported."I didn't know you were so interested in such things, sir." Olivia held up some photos showing the victims that had been found in the last few days.Every time she returned from work, Olivia always came home to report on everything that was happening in the company. And this
The equipment I needed had arrived. I turned one of the rooms in this house into a place to make potions. Although at the moment I could only make neutralising potions,. I began to measure the ingredients.This potion is only made from the roots of the amerta tree boiled with water at the right temperature and boiling time.It has been half a day since I was in this room, but I have yet to get any results."The liquid will be clear purple in colour if the manufacturing process is successful." I remembered and recited the sentence at the bottom of the potion recipe I was making. The book had disappeared, but I still remembered what was in it.This was the third attempt, and I had yet to find the desired result. "Argh...! It is a very dark colour, almost black. I thought it would be easy because I remembered all the steps of making the potion, but in fact, it is not as easy as it is written.[There is no one who succeeds on one try, Master. Even if he does, luck is on his side.]What Ne
Every night at five, Midtown is like a ghost town. The city government has made it a rule for citizens not to go out at night, as it is suspected that the creature is out looking for prey at night.Malls and entertainment venues that are usually crowded at night are now completely closed.More and more victims are dying. Either their bodies were torn apart or they died of poison."What is this, sir?" Olivia looked confused as I handed her a box containing several bottles of potion. She took one of the bottles and looked at its contents. "Is this some sort of endurance drink?""It's a neutralising potion. If you drink it, your body will be unaffected, even if you eat food containing vicious poisons. But you should know that the effect of this potion only lasts for 24 hours."Olivia's forehead seemed to be wrinkled with eyes that could not help but look at me. The expression on her face was one of great curiosity."What kind of potion are you talking about? I have never heard of it. Whe
The zombie stood up and looked at me. It showed me its row of saw-like teeth. The zombie then ran towards me. I was able to dodge because the level 5 zombie's movement was still below mine.[The creatures should not be able to pass through the gate, Master. There is something wrong with the system and I am trying to find the problem]I grabbed the zombie's hand and spun it around, then kicked its butt, causing it to fall to the ground."PISTOL!"[Request denied. You are not allowed to draw a weapon in the presence of humans]I let out a long breath at Newt's warning. Then I turned my head towards Olivia. The girl seemed to be looking at me with a worried face. I smiled at her to let her know that I was fine.I focused on the zombie in front of me. He had gotten up and was preparing to attack me. But I was able to knock him down again. I lunged at him and struck him in the chest with full force. In an instant, the zombie disappeared from my sight.[ZOMBIE LEVEL 5 +10,000 COINS]"I didn
Naturally, I was stunned when I heard Newt's answer. How could I suddenly be in Smoky Hollow? I looked at the clock on my wrist, and it was not yet time for the gates of Smoky Hollow to open.I look around and recognise this place. It is a dead town in Smoky Hollow. As usual, there are only empty houses and unoccupied tall buildings. I wonder if this place was made like this or if people have lived here."What is really going on, Newt? Why am I in Smoky Hollow?" I could not hide my confusion at what was happening. I didn't even have the ability to open the gate to Smoky Hollow.[There is an energy friction between the real world and Smoky Hollow that causes the gate to open. Just as the energy from the real world and Smoky Hollow are both circular, they move irregularly, and when the energy collides, the gate opens]Suddenly the holographic screen appeared in front of me, showing the image Newt had just explained."But if it hasn't happened all this time, why is it happening now?" If
I ignored Newt's words and decided to run to find out where the scream had come from. I eventually stopped at a tall building. I looked up and saw a woman hanging from the top of the building."How did she get there?"I went into the building. There was no lift, so I had to run up the stairs. I moved quickly at first, but as time went on my steps slowed with the fatigue I felt. I adjusted my heavy breathing.I let my energy flow through my body, and soon I felt refreshed. I took another step when my breathing was regulated again.Arriving on the roof, I immediately ran towards the edge of the building. The sound of cries for help grew fainter."Are you all right?" I looked down to where a woman was dangling."Sir! Help me." The woman's voice sounded weak, as if she had no energy left. Maybe it was because she had been screaming all this time. There were so many questions I wanted to ask her, but not now. My priority now was to save this woman.I crouched down so that my hand could rea
We had probably been walking for more than two hours, not knowing where we were going. There hadn't been any word from Newt about the creature's presence in this place."Sir. Aren't you tired?" I turned to the woman beside me. Her face looked flushed and exhausted. I had to admit that the air was hot and the sun was scorching. I didn't feel tired because I was a hunter who had more strength and endurance than ordinary humans.Of course, I'm tired. But I had to act like a normal human so that the woman next to me wouldn't be suspicious of me."In that case, shouldn't we rest for a while?"I nodded, obeying her wishes. We stopped and looked for a leafy place to shelter. There was a big, tall tree with thick leaves, so we sat down."Are you thirsty?" I saw her swallow a couple of times. It looked like she was doing it to wet her dry throat.The woman nodded weakly. "Have you brought a drink, sir? "I did bring a drink, which I put in a bag in my inventory, but there was no way I could ge
