“What the hell!?”Michaelis was so confused and everywhere he turned, he could only see the color white like he was caged in a white box. “What's happening?” He slapped his face but he didn't feel any pain. “Huh?”He knew he should have felt something as he tried to slap himself again but his palm went right through him. “It can't be, just relax.”Realizing something's very wrong, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and opened them again. But even then, nothing was changed.“Am I dead? What was that voice I heard earlier?” he was trained to remain calm in any situation as panicking would only make things worse in his line of work. Yet, no matter how hard he tried to calm and simply make sense out of this situation, he simply couldn't.“Am I drugged? No, my watch would have indicated if there were any unknown substance in my blood.” As he said, he lifted his wrist to look at his watch but his Rolex was nowhere to be found on his wrist, and in fact, he was naked.“This is ser
After crawling away from the river, Michaelis found a big tree and sat under it to familiarize himself with the system.“Hey system, come up.” he ordered in his mind as the interface popped up before him. He could see the tabs such as Host, shop, storage, subordinates, and upgrades.Michaelis looked left and right to see if anyone or anything was coming but weirdly everything seemed paused.«While you access the system, the time will be momentarily slowed down until the host quit the system.»“Wow, cool!” his brows raised in surprise hearing the robotic voice.“Open host.”The system opened the host tab and like in roleplaying games, his naked body appeared before him along with his stats.«Host: MichaelisRace: HumanRank: Foundation stage, level 1Experience points: 4,000/20,000Reaper points: 0Current skills: NoneOccupation: NoneStatus: HealthyGoals: NoneNotable skills: Above average in marksmanship, proficient in close combat.»“Proficient huh?”Ramiel's skills merged with hi
“Three more.” Michaelis told himself and stealthily moved towards the remaining snakes while the girl was pretty stunned to see him and the grin on his face as he walked past her, it sent a cold chill running through her spine. He slowly made his way to the three snakes and crouched behind the snake who was peacefully sleeping in the middle without any idea of the threat behind him.“Diddle, diddle we are so little.”The moment he said it, he stabbed the snakes one by one lightning fast. Each of his stabs were precise and deep as the ding sounds confirmed the kills.«Ding!Congrats to the host for killing a body refining stage level 7 cultivator. The reward is 5,000 to experience points as well as 250 reaper points.»«Ding!Congrats to the host for killing a body refining stage level 7 cultivator.

[Moments Before]Michaelis was searching his mind to find anything that could help him survive in this world while the heavy rain was pouring from the sky. On earth, he would spend most of his time preparing before he actually eliminating the target. He deeply valued Intel and preparation but after searching his mind, he couldn't help but feel extremely unprepared.“Am I missing Pink?”He shook his head.“Hey, system, what happened to my body back in my world?”«The Host's body was disintegrated during the crossing over.»“Well, at least my reputation won't take a hit and those losers won't find me.”Since his body was destroyed, the cops and the federal agents won't find him and he would still remain as a myth, a ghost to them who had a hundred percent success rate in assassinations. While proudly grinning about his reputation, he suddenly heard footsteps and hissing sounds.He quickly checked the other branches near him to see if there's a snake nearby but when he focused, he found
Gaya seemed like she knew the layout of the forest like the back of her hand. After a few hours of following her, Michaelis stepped out of the forest and finally saw some man-made structures for the first time in this world.“Human, I can only accompany you this far.” Gaya said as she suddenly stopped walking when they saw the huge city walls and a few guards in front of the gates. Since the rain was pouring, there was no one around them.“Why?”“These lowly humans are in a war with the Nagas, if they see me, they will report me to those fucken guards and then throw me in jail.” she said this but looked like she has some alternative way to this situation.“I know you have a plan for this situation, Gaya, spit it out.”She grinned“Hmm, you have some brains for a human, after all. I can merge with you using a special spell I know.”“System, what is she talking about?”«The Host can buy the firewall protection from the shop to protect himself from any items to hijack the Host's body or
“Young master.”The girl called out to him when she came back with a pouch of coins.“Two hundred silver coins, as promised Young master, please check it.”«Two hundred silver coins.» the system's voice rang in his mind.“No need, I need your help with something else though.”“Please tell me, Young master.”“I decided to take this quest, is there a procedure I have to take care of before taking a quest?”The girl nodded and took out a small form from her desk.“You need to register with the adventure guild, young master. Do you wish to join the guild now?”“Yes I do.”“Wonderful.” the girl revealed all of her pearl white teeth by letting out a wide grin.“Please fill this form, young master.”The form had pretty standard stuff like name, cultivation level, party name, party members.Michaelis didn't plan to form a party as he liked to do things alone and the only reason he was putting up with Gaya was she had knowledge about this world and he could use that knowledge to his advantage.
“System, show me the items in the storage.”The system's interface appeared as a couple of items were floating before him.“What's this?“He zoomed the first item in the line which was a delicately made black arm bracer.«Name: Mark 3 grappling hookDurability: lifetimeClass: RareHe reached out his arm and put his arm into the holographic image of the bracer.»“System, equip this.”The black bracer adjusted its size to fit his arm while the system sent information about how to use the bracer to his mind and in a mere moment, he became familiar with the grappling hook.“I can't wait to try this bad boy tomorrow.” he pulled his sleeve down and looked around his arm with a grin. After the grappling hook, there were two legendary class long ranged teleportation scrolls in the storage but even though they were legendary class items, what excited him most was the XP pill.The system showed him that he received the pill as a reward for recruiting his first subordinate.“System, use it, use
“How much farther?”At the moment, Michaelis was walking through the mud road towards his quest.“Two miles.” her usual arrogant witty self was nowhere to be found as she was very silent during his journey.“Someone's having a bad day, come on Princess, say something.”“Leave me be, human.” normally she would sound arrogant, but now she sounded terrified.He thought he would like her to be silent, but after traveling in silence for a long time, he missed the witty and arrogant princess. However, he knew what would cheer her up.“Alright, your loss, I thought I should give you another pill or two.”“Really!?”“Only if you stop acting like a crybaby.”“I can do that human, now give this princess the pills!”“Damn!” he didn't expect she would change so soon but it made him smile.“Let's finish the job on hand, shall we? After that, I will give you two pills, deal?”“Deal, let's go and kill some maggots.”“That's my girl.”“NO I'M NOT!”He laughed and rushed towards his goal before the d
