"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 hook

Durability: lifetime

Class: Rare

He 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 it"

He rubbed his hand and prepared to level up as the ding sound appeared.

[ Host 'Michael' used the Second level Experience Pill and received 113,000 experience points]

"Not bad, not bad at all, I reached this level in just a day, if I continue like this, I'll be like the op anime mcs "

"The system suggests the host go out and explore the world than expect the system to give freebies"

"Damn you system, I said I'll do that, just let me have my moment"

He cursed the system and opened the shop menu to buy some skills

There were three skills that he could buy at the moment with his 1100 Badass points and he listed them in front of his eyes.

"I don't need the X-Ray vision, at least not yet, but both the teleporter and the scanner could come in handy, I shouldn't buy both incase I need points to buy other stuff"

He kept looking at the teleporter and the scanner without being able to choose one and after thinking about his quest, he decided to buy the scanner.

"System, I'll take the scanner"

[Ding, The host has successfully acquired the level 1 Surrounding scanner]

He experienced mild pain in his head and then, he could sense the presence of lives around him for a small radius of distance.

He was able to pinpoint the exact locations of people in the inn and track their movements with his mind, and although he couldn't explain the feeling, it felt like a seventh sense.

"Cool, now I don't have to worry about surprise attacks"

"Cool, but I need to buy a spell, offensive spells will be better, "

He waved his hand and looked at the next spell

Rubbing his chin, he moved to the next spell and the next one immediately put a wide excited grin on his face.

Spell name: Ignitia

Effect: Creates several bolts of lightning

Upgradable: Yes

Cost: 300 Badass points

"System, why didn't you show me this first?"

"The system knew the host would favor this spell but the system wanted to make the host take a look at the other spells too before the host make a decision"

"The last spell, the lightning bolts would come from my hand, right? I don't want a spell that sends out bolts of lightning from my butt, I can't even imagine that"

"Yes, from hand, host"

He noticed the system sounds different like it was annoyed by his question

"Alright, alright, take my points and give me that spell"

[Ding, The host has successfully acquired the level 1 Ignitia]

Again like before, a mild pain appeared in the head as the system imprinted the spell's workings in his brain.

Learning the spell, he conjured the Arch energy and created a few tiny bolts of lightning with his finger as his eyes sparkled in excitement and joy.

"COOOOOL"

He could tell that the more arch energy he uses, the more powerful the bolt would be.

"Let's take a look at the adventurer card"

He retrieved the golden card from his pocket as a holographic image appeared from the card and showed him which seemed to be the map of this kingdom. On the map, a small area was marked by a red circle and.

"This might be the location of the quest, I should rest a few hours and go there in the night"

As he said, he closed the system and laid on the bed to get a good sleep before going after the bandits and the mercenaries.

**************************

"It's a shame to stain this bedsheet with his blood, but where did he get these?"

Gaya transformed from a tiny white snake into her human form and menacingly staring at Micheal who was peacefully sleeping.

"Do you want this princess to be your assistant? I'll assist you by ending your pathetic human life"

She slowly took the candle holder and licked the metal to coat it with her poison.

"Huh?"

Suddenly she noticed a slight smile on his face and stopped moving.

"He must be having some happy dreams, how cute"

With an evil grin on her face, she sneaked towards him holding the candle holder in her hand.

"If I can take that miraculous pill, I can ask Sima to recreate the pill and then I will kill that bitch myself"

She said to herself and raised the candle holder to stab him in the heart but when she tried to stab him, her hands froze in the air as her body refused to move.

"What the f**k?"

And then her whole body was thrown into the wall and created a big thumping sound when she hit the wall.

"HEY, WE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!"

Someone from the next room shouted as Gaya was clenching her gut and rolled on the ground in excruciating pain.

The pain was like her organs were pierced by millions of needles and the worst part was she couldn't open her mouth to scream.

"Well well well well, look at this"

Gaya heard Micheal's voice and slowly looked up to see him grinning like the devil himself.

"Didn't I say that I'm not the one who dies"

He could tell that she was in extreme pain but he didnt stop the system as he wanted her to experience the pain so she wouldn't try anything stupid like this again.

The moment she left his body and thought about harming him, the system alerted him in his sleep but paused the system for a moment and let her think she could kill him.

"Is this how you repay me? Its seems like I have to kill you"

Gaya saw the black knife appear in his hand as she tried to crawl away from him.

"I hope you have a good poison core, I wasted my precious pill on you after all"

Looking at his evil grin and the killing intent in his eyes made her shiver.

"No...don't..."

The words barely escaped her mouth while he came to her and crouched before.

"Why shouldn't I kill you? You did try to kill me"

He said as moving his knife's end on her face.

"Please...make...it...stop...beg...you"

Little by little, she was losing her consciousness

"Hmm, what if you try to kill me again"

"I...promise...I...won't"

"I think I can give you a second chance but If I find you do something stupid like this again, I make you feel a thousand times worse than what you feel right now, got it?"

She slowly nodded and in a flash, the pain completely disappeared but the terror she felt didn't.
