Just when Gary had thought the system might have turned over a new leaf, the system returned to being as unresponsive as ever. Aside from leveling up, the high schooler came to terms that he would have to hope that he might to either luckily unlock a way to increase that number, or the system might decide to drop him some tips.
Nevertheless, Gary needed to be careful about the promises he made. According to his system, should the other party end up breaking that, th
Amy Dem and Stacy Turnhell had been inseparable ever since kindergarten. They had known each other since seemingly forever and both girls had been lucky enough to be able to always go to the same school.Unlike Gary, his sister had always received good grades, and had even passed the 11 plus. It was a test one did when reaching the age of 11 to determine whether or not the student could enter a grammar school.
An opportunity was exactly what Gary needed. Billy was far stronger than him, and if Gary wasn’t willing to eat people like he was, then there was almost no way for him to catch up, so much so that he had even gone through his head a number of times just exactly what he might do to Gil.However, the system was a strange thing, and noticing that a gang war had arrived the system had answered him once more.
Gary knew that the smart thing would be to keep on watching, waiting for both sides to weaken each other further, so he could snoop in and finish off the losing side. This way he wouldn’t use a lot of Energy, while still being able to get some Exp.However, he had decided to take some risks. Given the content of the Quest, it seemed wiser to get involved in the fight before any surprising backup could arrive. He didn’t know how long this gang war would last sin
The police station was currently busier than ever, receiving non-stop calls from residents living in a certain part of Slough. All of them reported that they could hear fights, moans and groans, with some even testifying to have seen teenagers in red and grey beat up others dressed in black on the street.It didn't take long for the police to figure out what was going on, but just like Gary had predicted, due to the scale of the gang war, they couldn’t respond
Pierre still hadn’t let go of Amy’s hand, so the high school girl let out a scream. Unfortunately, the loud music from the karaoke was indeed overbearing, drowning out her loud shrieking cry. Even if there had been no music, Amy doubted anyone would come to help them and not just because the room seemed to be pretty soundproof.‘This is a public karaoke place, right? There has to be a camera in here or something!’ The high schooler desperately looked around, a
When reading his sister’s message on his phone, Gary's heart went into a panic. Amy wasn’t the type to joke around with him nor was she someone who would usually ask him for help. Since she did, it could only mean that the situation was seriously bad.Gary’s heart started to beat faster to the point that there was no need for him to use the Charging Heart skill. Looking at the Status his Heart rate was currently at 169 BPM, making him twice as fast and twice as powe
Standing in the middle of the Karaoke room, it took a while for Gary to process what he had just done. The high schooler looked down at his blood covered hands, most of which had gathered on his still sharpened fingertips that currently resembled the claws of a wild beast.‘I’ve gone and done it now… only this time it was no accident...’ Gary thought. ‘I was just so…angry.’
Gary truly felt like his body had become a bottomless pit as no matter how much he ate, his hunger didn’t seem to get satisfied. On the plus side, he discovered that with his sharp teeth and string jaws there had been no need for him to worry about bones.After each bite he could feel the human flesh energise his body in unique ways, and after a while had passed, all the bodies had disappeared. Alas, his supernatural devouring turned out to be limited to flesh. Once
