The headless corpse that kept sitting on Ren's body went limp as the strength in his hands too. Ren pushed the body away as he began to raise his body. He gritted his teeth as the pain began to sting his nerves and made his face grimace.
Then the knight man circled behind him putting his hand on Ren's ribs and helping him to stand up.“You okay, young fella?”.“Ha, ha,, ..Barely, ..Thanks, ouch”.“You are welcome”.The other two women began to approach and the younger one opened her mouth.“What was that commotion about?”.With her clear bell voice, she demanded an answer from Ren. Without muttering a single word he pointed his index finger at the church and at the same time the church door opened and multiple individuals came out hearing the commotion outside.The young woman tilted her head first before opening her eyes wide. Then she turned her gaze at Ren, at the church, Ren again and heard him open his mouth.“She is there”.“Are you certain, young man?”.The female knight, who kept her mouth shut all this time, opened it and asked for confirmation from him. Ren nodded his head then began his explanation.“I heard the other people who came out from the building earlier talking about it on their way”.The three parties opened their eyes wide, however, they were still a little bit suspicious about the information, until.“Boss, what do we do? They already found us”.“Good mouth you have there, thugs”. Muttered Ren in his heart.the eyes of the three party squinted as the dangerous aura that pinched Ren's skin began to permeate their body. Ren didn’t want to be involved any longer. Step back, and retreat to a safe place. Hiding in between the gap of the house as usual.“Thanks for the information young man”.The female knight took something from her pouch before tossing it to Ren. It was a small glass container that contained a green liquid that flew in a straight trajectory before he caught it using his left hand.“Thank you”.Ren could hear a faint whisper-like crisp coming from the younger woman in front who showed her back to him. But he didn’t hear anything else so he just concentrated on leaving the place and treating the wound in his right palm.The dagger was still attached to his right palm. Then he turned his attention toward the glass container he received from the female knight.It was a potion. A potion was a type of concocted medicine from a certain herb that has an amazing effect on the human body.Different types of potions are sold out there, and he heard it from his mother in this world. Potion has an effect to heal an injury, to replenish the deficit of Mana, and there is also a potion to cure the poison in the body system, also many more out there that Ren still didn’t know.They can differentiate what potions are for use. For example, like the potion in Ren's hands, it is a green potion which means it is a potion that helps to treat some injury.Ren turned his attention toward the surroundings looking for something but he only found an empty corner and a rat that bypassed in his sight. Carefully, he put aside the potion before trying to take off the clothes he was wearing.As the cooling sensation from the breeze that grazed his skin. He carefully removes his left hand from the sleeves before finally, he is in a half-naked state. He lets the other keep clinging to his body before twisting the cloth he wears then puts it inside his mouth.Using his left hand he opened up the potion bottle, and the rich aroma from a magical herb entered his nose as he began to put it again aside.“..Here we go”. Ren muttered.Ren put his left hand on the dagger handle. His hair stood to no end, and his body was tingling, terrified by the pain it would cause by pulling out the knife. His fingertips turned cold, and the suffocating feeling began to invade his consciousness. His heart throbbed so loud that he could hear it outside.He shook his head to the side as he began to sink his fang deep into the cloth, regulating his breathing. Tensing every muscle in his body except the wounded one. Then, he grip the dagger tightly, closing his eyes before yanking it at once.“HUK!”.His body jerked as the nerves in his system screamed with the intense pain that coursed through his body. His eyes turned moist as he began to writhe in pain.However, a strange thing happened when Ren was still writhing in pain. The black stone on his necklace emits a dark glow. It began to break into a million pieces before gathering to form an unknown substance floating before his eyes.“Huh?”.He even forgot the pain in his system as he saw the black sphere scatter itself forming something like it was floating in the atmosphere before entering the gap between his open wound.Ren was alarmed as the black substance entered his body. His right hand jerked by itself and it greedily absorbed the remaining black substance that was floating in the air until nothing was left.The hand that had a gaping hole until recently, closed. The pain also went gone as if the wound from earlier was a lie. No scars are remaining, only a black dot appeared on his right palm. The cloth in his mouth slipped out as he began to wonder what was happening earlier.“What was that?”.[The piece of a broken Void has found its Host][Checking of the intervener of the other blessing: The result is none][Checking the user talent: 99% match][System installation….][Install success][Item Storage activated][Displaying status][Status window]Name: RenRace: HumanAge: 19Level: 0StatisticsVitality: 10Mind: 10Strength: 10Agility: 10SkillsVoid Manipulation (F), Item Storage (EX)[God Slayer Blade has been stored in the Item Storage][Would you like to take it][Yes or No]The translucent window filled his sight as he couldn't see the surroundings. Ren, whose eyes were wide open, could only be dumbfounded by the thing that happened to him.“What? Status? This was like a game I used to play. Wait, God Slayer Blade!?”.Ren gulped his spit as he stared at the translucent window that notified him of the amazing item in his possession. With a blank face, he opened his mouth.“Yes”.From his right hand, the dot began to emit a dark glow before it spread around creating a blade that fit in his hand. Ren's jaw dropped marveling at the blade in his possession.It has a jet-black body that sucked the light around it, and had a lethal double edge side in a curved way almost like a Kogarasumaru from the Japanese Katana he knew. Then the hilt was painted in a platinum color with the round handguard that also had the same platinum color.The blade itself still oozes a black aura around it giving it a rather ominous feeling for those who saw it.Ren was drawn toward the blade as he gripped the hilt and the aura that surrounded it seeped back inside the blade.“Haha, awesome”.Like a kid who received his new toy, Ren was showing his teeth but his elated heart would not last for long as the translucent window began to appear before him once again.[Quest appeared][Proof your worth][Content: Send one strong vile soul toward the Void to obtain the recognition of the Void power inside your body][Time limit: 24 hours][Success Rewards: Level up +1][Failure: Death]“What!?”Ren's eyes opened wide seeing the translucent window that appeared before him. It says that a quest has been acquired and needs to be cleared within twenty-four hours, and what worried him the most was the term of failure; it was an imminent death.His body hair stood to no end while shivering. Dread occupied his thoughts. The quest demanded one vile soul of a person to be sent to a Void. So he must kill one person who is deemed as vile to complete the quest that is bestowed upon him by the system.However, the thought of reaping on other lives gave the tingling in his spine and his stomach to churn, but it subsided almost instantly, as the intense memories that occupied the young man named Ren in this world replaced all of the disgust and the hesitation in his thought. He closed his eyes and the memories that he tried to avoid repeating themselves. His blood boiled upon seeing it then as he tried to imagine killing a person with the blade in his hand. Ren shook his mind as he began
As his resolve hardened. Ren began his move; he moved away from his hiding place using a small gap between the decaying house and found himself in another narrow lane that led him to a church in a roundabout way. The feeling of the hard object in his right hand tensed his body as he knew that he was going to do something horrible in his thoughts. The act of killing itself doesn't concern the mind of the young man named Ren that lives in this world but it was a different story if the mind that had control over the body now was Ren that lived in the modern world.He knows that the emotion or something that Ren experienced in this world greatly influenced his thoughts, but there is still a tiny little fear that crept out from the corner of his mind. Because this choice he made was something that cannot be retracted and will follow him until the day he dies.However, Ren grips the hilt tightly and grits his teeth while shaking his head to the side, dispersing the thought that keeps plagu
“Talentless?”.The woman perked her ear and opened her eyes wide hearing Jiha mention the boy who was holding the black blade before her eyes. She knows that term very well. As a person who lives in a high society a noble daughter possesses a huge amount of information and wealth. She squinted her eyes because of the rude remark from Jiha toward the boy. The word Talentless is considered taboo in this world because it is a sign that the person who unfortunately received it, is labeled as a person who was abandoned by God.Worried about the mental state of the boy before her. She turns her attention toward him only to find he keeps glancing at the empty air as if looking at something. “What is he doing?”. She muttered in her heart. Then she heard the boy click his tongue and spit some curses.“..Tch, looks like I have no choice then”.The boy in sight raised his fighting spirit and prepared his middle stance while gripping the black blade using his hands straight to his navel.The wo
Ren lunged forward, and as Jiha entered the range of his blade, he began his first strike with a diagonal slash from the bottom right, Jiha shifted his foot as he dodged the strike with minimal movement.However, Ren still didn't finish his attack. He kept swinging the blade trying to connect every swing he made toward another and made a fluid movement that looked like he was dancing with his blade. Jiha with his superior strength and speed kept dodging the onslaught with minimal movement, the corner of his mouth lifted as the embers in his heart began to burn more bright than ever.Then there is a gap in Ren's swing that Jiha senses. A vertical strike trying to cut open his skull began to descend at Jiha's head. The world turned gray before Jiha’s eyes and the trajectory of the blade slowed down before it was inches away from his skull. With a minimal movement he bent his upper body to the right side and using the backhand of his left fist smacked the side body of the blade, with i
The comfortable darkness that engulfed his mind began to fade. In his hazy consciousness, a melodious voice entered his ear giving solace to his entire being, slowly but surely Ren opened his eyes as the humming voice that entered his ear began to fade out and the first thing he saw upon awakening was.“Where is this?”.The unfamiliar high ceiling, a soft and comfortable bed embracing him. The warmth of sunlight light that passed through the opened window beside him roused his body up, as he heard a stunned voice beside him.“..You awake?”.Ren turned his attention and saw the little girl he knew open her eyes and lowered jaw. Then she snapped back and dashed away leaving him behind. “She was?”.He remembered that girl. She was the girl who got kidnapped by Jiha at that time. He is wondering where the hell this place is.The room feels a bit wide for a single person. The interior of the room was filled with a luxury item, the comfortable bed with a pure sheet. A four one-seater sofa
“Gratitude”.Ren turns his attention to the sack that probably contains a lot of coins by the looks of it. Without hesitation, he extended his right hand before taking the sack in his hand. The sack was pretty much light with the content inside, he wondered how much money was inside.“I am sorry. I know it was pretty rude of me to do this despite the thing you have done. But this is the only thing that appeared on my mind, so... would you accept it? “.He opened the sack and saw the glittering of big silver coins inside. He began to count the number of coins inside and there were ten of them. Ten silver coins.“Ah, It's okay. I will gratefully accept it. Thank you”.The other three look weirdly at Ren's behavior. Even after receiving his reward he still didn’t show much expression. He just closed the sack back and put it beside him unperturbed at the content inside. They wondered why the young man before them could control his emotions to such an extent.They could feel a trace of dis
A night had passed since the day he received the second quest. Ren was shocked at first but when he read again the content he at least had a sigh of relief, because of the non-existence of a time limit and failure terms.Then after confirming the quest that he didn't know where to start he began to spend his day reading a book that had been lent by the maid in the palace.At first, he is struggling because it's been a long time since he read a book again after living in the slums. His mouth felt awkward at first but it gradually became better as he finished his first book about the History of the world. Ren was capable of reading because his parents were teaching him when he was little and when his father was still around. Not just reading, he also teaches about simple arithmetics. Then, he still kept reading and doing basic reading and counting until he lost his mother and lived in the slums.The content of the storybook was nothing but a myth that told him about the creation of the
The receptionist woman has a beautiful figure to please the eyes of everyone who enters the place. She was wearing a uniform which consisted of a black vest and white trousers inside with short sleeves. For the lower part, she was wearing a black skirt that matched with the vest, then a pair of heels. Ren was wondering how fashion in the world had leaped by bounds when civilization was still like in the medieval era. But, he soon dismissed the thought. He didn't want to think too deeply about it so he began to open his mouth stating his business coming here.“I want to register as an Adventurer”.The receptionist looked at Ren's figure probing. Clean appearance with a plain white shirt and black long pants holding nothing, just bringing himself to the guild, and from the appearance of his face the woman thought that he was probably in his late teens. Ren didn’t know that he was being probed but he felt that the gaze from the receptionist felt uncomfortable. But, he
