“Honey! You’re bae! How was your sed day?”
Paul's mother's voice almost jump-scared Paul’s soul out of his body.
“Ah, mom… Yeah, yeah, it was fine. I made a friend at least.”
“Really?! I’m so happy! What’s his name?”
“Chris, he’s a nice dude, sometimes annoying, but he’s ok.”
“Haha! Well, once you get to know each other better, I am sure you’ll bee bros!”
“Yeeeah…” Paul muttered, sitting down on the couch. “So how was your day, Mom?”
“Fine, fine! We sold out most of the pastries at the bakery; people buy them all the time! Business is doing really fine nowadays~” Paul's mom waved her long brown hair as she smiled, brimming with happiness.
Paul couldn’t help but also feel happy to see her finally being herself, being free, and w for what she wanted.
He still remembered when she wasn’t in a good state, several years ago. His father was quite an abusive bastard; he was someoill hated to the core.
His father made his childhood and his mother’s life a living hell all those years ago, and even after they finally escaped that world, there are still maional scars left behind.
But at the very least, his mother finally seemed to have moved on; she was smiling, w hard, and, above all, having fun with her job.
“I’m happy for you, mom…” Paul suddenly stood up and hugged her.
“Paul, honey…” his mged him back, kissing his cheek. “Yeah, and you’re okay too?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine~,” Paul said.
He always said he was fine, even when he wasn’t.
Since he was a child, he had endured abuse and bullying, yet he always said he was fine.
He didn’t like w about his mother, who had su awful life already.
“Okay! Did you have lunch already? Want mommy to cook something up?” his mother asked.
"Yep, I already ate today. Went to the café with my friend; he’s really a foodie, that guy…” Paul smiled after remembering Chris.
“Heh! It looks like yrowing even closer. Don’t tell me this friend’s actually a girl, maybe?” his mother asked, raising her eyebrows.
“W-Wha? No, not really…” Paul sighed, looking elsewhere. “It’s a guy, I swear! I’m terrible at talking with girls still… But that guy, Chris, he’s super good with girls! He has this natural charm to him; he just naturally talks with girls all the time. He said he would help me socialize more and then maybe act like a wingman.”
“Ooh! You got yourself a ova friend then, haha!” Paul’s mom ughed. “I bet he’s tall and super handsome! They’re always like that! I remember meeting a few like that when I was youhey’re a bit dangerous; never promise! But I guess, as a friend, they’re good.”
“Um, I guess…” Paul didn’t really want to go into details about h she was.
Chris was not at all like she said, he was much smaller, cuter, and thicker. Above all, his eyes were big and blue, and his hair was glossy bck, reag his neck. His mom probably imagihe typical “Chad” guy instead of aul would only call... a shorstack femboy.
“Anyways, gotta go; still pying that game, it’s really fun,” Paul said.
“Gotcha! Have fun, honey,” his mom said, as he saw Paul walk back to his room.
After a quick warm bath to rex, Chris logged ba as Vd, trying tet a bit about everything that had been talked about. His mind was full of just Chris, but he wao trate on the game.
He had read a few news stories about pyers already beginning to develop an early market; there were already many items being sold, and pyers were actively buying and selling the game’s currency, which was Credits.
Apparently, you only gais in two ways: through special quests or by selling products to NPCs. Monsters don’t drop money, so you have to hunt them aheir products, or craft even more expensive products ahose.
It was shaping to be an ey based on hard work, and a lot of people were growing more ied in its future aspects, as the game had already grossed over fifty million pyers on the first day of unch.
The game was also being sold digitally; the physical version had only a few million copies, and Paul was just lucky enough to get it. So the number of pyers was stantly increasing by almost a milliohree hours.
“A billion pyers… I hope the servers hahat if it ever happens…”
Paul slowly opened his crimson eyes as Vd found himself inside his dark, lugubrious room.
“Hahh… I feel rather refreshed, this body, I mean,” he analyzed his body, as Soul Ether surged out, like an aura of gold. “This Aura… Maybe I could use it to help me move around?”
His first goal before anything he wao do, though, was actually moving around without using his Heavenly Demon’s power to do so.
[So you’re awake, you sure slept a lot… Are you feeling okay?]
“I’m fine, yeah, thanks for looking over me.”
[I’m literally you; I was also sleeping as you did!]
“Anyways…” Paul ighe Heavenly Demon’s annoying voice. “Let’s try walking normally, uhe effey fw.”
He quickly stood out of bed.
“I move my arms well enough, at least, and my toes too… My legs as well.”
Once he was fully standing up, he looked in front of him and took a step forward, and another, and another.
"Hey, it’s w; I guess this partial paralysis has been pletely-”
BAAM!
Before he could even move aep, however, he smmed down onto the floor.
He felt it; every single muscle of his body suddenly became paralyzed.
Frozen!
He was uo move, falling over the floor head-first.
“Fuck…”
After a couple of seds, he could move again and sit down.
“It triggers when I try to walk; does it trigger otherwise?” he wondered.
He decided to spend the en minutes reading a book about the family he had at his night table, making sure to move his head, neck, arms, fingers, everything.
Apparently, he was not affected by the partial paralysis then.
However, the sed he stood up and walked three steps...
BAAM!
He fell head-first into the ground again.
Vd tried this over and ain, finding a certain pattern and writing dowhing he learned in Vd’s diary.
“First, the paralysis doesn’t trigger as long as I am sitting down…” he said. “Although I feel a bit tired when I move my arms a lot, it’s nothing serious... Sed, the paralysis only triggers three steps after I walk. After that, I o wait ahree seds befoing back to normal, and then three steps more for paralysis.”
[Looks like it is a terrible curse. We’ll o fix that right away. Let me further check your body now that you’ve rested well.]
“Eh? Sure?”
Vd felt his own soul move against his own thoughts, the Heavenly Demon was nothing but an Ego within his soul. Two minds ihe same soul shared it as if they were one.
He asked Paul to remain still and silent, sitting cross-legged and calming down his breath. His golden presence spread across his entire body, analyzing it.
The heavenly demon’s eyes opened wide when he realized the extent of Vd’s illness.
[T-This is beyond recovery…]
“You’re joking, right? It be fixed after cultivating, right? Right?”
[…]
The Heavenly Demon was watg what was happening inside Vd’s Spiritual Body with a wide-eyed expression.
A Spiritual Body was the representation of a person’s supernatural body’s abilities; it formed as their special supernatural abilities developed.
Usually, everyone possesses iheir Spiritual Body three Meridians, one in the head, the chest, and the stomach.
These Meridians helped regute Lifeford Ki through the body, and the Cultivators of Murim had learned how to refine and cultivate them to attain higher levels of physical prowess.
However, Vd had a terrible fw.
Because of his strange illness, his three Meridians had been shattered long ago, pletely destroyed at this age, and were beyond recovery.
This art of Vd’s Character Fw.
“Fug hell, just what is this Character Fw?! I ’t even move? Are you serious?!”
Paul angrily looked at both the Character Trait and the Character Fw in more detail to find the true reason behind their powers.
-----
[Insatiable Gluttony (Legendary Grade)]
Vd’s body has bee the vessel of the Sin of Gluttony’s Demonic Seed at birth, chosen by the Evil God of Insatiable Appetite, Gu, to bee his Apostle.
Grants the ability to absorb and assimite anything into the body; the possibility of obtaining skills, energies, abilities, and mrows as the Trait's usability increases.
You aturally digest everything, you’re naturally immuo any poison or status ailment ected to digested food or other energies absorbed.
The Sin of Gluttony’s insatiable appetite doesn’t even leave their vessel alone.
If not fed regurly, it will eat away at the vessel and then find a new oo eat.
Gluttony has its own stomach; when you eat too much, it will begin digesting, and you won’t be able to absorb more until everything is fully digested.
-----
[Triple Shattered Meridian Physique (Legendary Grade)]
Vd's body has been slowly eaten by the Demonic Seed of Gluttony since birth.
Because he had not fed the sin regurly, the sin slowly ate their power and body.
They were born as dhampirs because the siheir bloodline.
They were born sickly because the siheir life force.
Their Meridians are shattered and almost pletely gone because the sin has enjoyed eating them too.
Vd is uo cultivate a Physique no matter what.
Vd’s stats will always receive a debuff of -90%.
[Partial Paralysis] might trigger when moving.
-----
“Man…”
Paul fell to the floor in utter disappoi.
He already kind of knew his fw’s specs but reading them again in fiail only made him more depressed.
In summary, his fw had three effects.
“Uo make a physique, always stats -90%, and... the annoying partial paralysis. At the very least, if the st one wasn’t present, it wouldn’t be SO bad, but this fucks me over so much!” Paul pined. “Damn developers, what the fuck kind of fw is this?! How do you expect a pyer to actually… you know, py?”
[pining won’t get you anywhere. That is not something I would normally do. You ’t get a physique, you ’t cultivate your body, and you get a debuff to all your stats. But that doesn’t include your soul! Although there’s the Soul Ether Stat, it doesn’t matter; your soul seems to remain as big as I made it grow.]
“Y-You’re right… Is this a bug or something?”
[Bug? I don’t know what you mean by that, but it appears that there are some things your fw ot touch; apparently, it affects your physical body, but anything supernatural outside of it might not be pletely affected.]
"So, how do I walk?”
[You’ll have to learn how to fly!]
“Fly?!”
[If you fly, then there’s o walk around, right? It’s easy!]
“How do I even do that?!”
[’t you vampires fly naturally? Most of you float, isn’t it?]
“I am a pitiful vampire with a terrible bloodline, so that’s impossible for me right now…”
[Then you’ll simply have two optioher crawl et a wheelchair.]
“For fuck’s sake…”
Paul was struggling; he couldn’t really believe his situation.
“Is there no other option? ’t I use my soul to move then?”
[To get to that level, you would o first fe a psyche of Tier 4!]
“That high? The’s start cultivating it. I ’t waste my time here. Let’s use the Soul Materials and make more pills at the very least.”
Paul quickly took the materials from the treasury and begaing more pills to enhance his soul’s power and cultivate it further.
The cauldron bubbled as the materials verged into ohrough Vd’s Alchemy Skill.
Ding!
[gratutions! You have successfully synthesized the [Soul Energizing Pill (B+ Grade)] x3!]
[The Subcss Skill: [Alchemy (C): Lv1] has Leveled Up!]
[The Subcss Skill: [Alchemy (C): Lv2] has Leveled Up!]
“Level 3 already! Not bad,” Vd felt happy to see some sense ression at long st. “Now…”
He gulped the pills again, and as he felt his soul overflowing from his body, he began to temper it again, with patiend without letting the unfairness of his Fw take away his joy of growing stronger in this game.
“One day I’ll explore this world and have even more fun, so for now, e!” Paul thought. “Chris also said he would join, so maybe I could ask for his help ter…”
Three hours of hard meditation and soul-tempering ter, Vd had finally finished.
“Hahh… I’m exhausted.”
[Through the stant tempering of your Soul, your Soul Ether has increased drastically.]
[You gained +30 Soul Ether.]
[You gained +20 Soul Ether.]
[You gained +40 Soul Ether.]
[You gained +30 Soul Ether.]
[…]
[You gained a Total of +300 Soul Ether.]
[Your Soul Tempering has strengthened your Soul’s foundations.]
[Your [Soul]: [Spiritual Golden Sea Psyche (Tier 2: Rank 1)] has Ranked Up to Tier 2: Rank 3!]
[You gained +100 Soul Ether.]
“So 50 Soul Ether per Rank, and I got three hundred more per pill… Okay, let’s make more; we ’t-”
[Your Soul has been tempered too much; if you ti might be permaly damaged instead, crippling your soul cultivation. Be careful.]
[Time until you temper your soul safely again: 23 Hours, 59 Minutes.]
“I should have expected that…”
[That’s it for today; you must rest now.]
“Dammit, seriously? I haven’t gotten a single quest yet either!”
Vd pined, but he couldn’t really get things done now; he had to be patient and slowly do it every day; eventually, he would be able to get through.
[Patience is a virtue; sleep a; tomorrow is another day.]
“Another day, my ass!”
Vd quickly attempted to stand back up again, maniputing his Soul Ether, he imbued it into his entire body at once, creating a veil of golden essence.
[You…! What are you doing?! Be careful! Utilizing Soul Ether without proper training might be dangerous for your soul!]
“I don’t give a fuymore; I want to move out of my damn room already!”
Paul was listening no loo the NPside his head, his golden Soul Ether ing itself around his legs, arms, and torso.
“Hahh… e on…”
He took oep, then two.
And then three.
He gave a fourth step, and the paralysis was triggered.
“Ugh…!”
However, he held back from falling as his Soul Ether mao keep him standing!
[What?!]
The Heavenly Demon, who thought he knew everything, was left speechless.
Vd smiled defiantly, his handsome vampire face gasping for air. He was making it!
“I’m walking out of my damn room today, no matter what…”
He started taking more steps.
Owo, three—paralysis.
His Soul Ether held him from falling.
Owo, three—paralysis.
Once more, his Soul Ether protected him.
Eventually, he was able to walk across his room, but awkwardly stopping every three steps made it very slow.
However, it was w!
“Hahhh… I-I’m doing it, the door!”
He extended his hands towards the door, but ohird step, he fell.
His Soul Ether Aura dissipated; he had spent all his Soul Energy and could no longer muster more!
“Dammit! I was so close!”
Paul hit the floor in anger and frustration.
[This is your limit for now, but not bad; you surprised me! You’ll probably get to Tier 5 quicker than I imagined! Yes, perhaps in... Maybe ten years?]
“I don’t have the time for that!
Knock, knock!
“Huh?”
However, out of nowhere, somebody was knog at the door.
The butlers were dead, and the only people left in the house were Vd’s mother and his sister.
Vampires were known for being able to sleep long and not o eat for many weeks or months after iing blood.
Therefore, he had imagihey were still sleeping.
Yet…
“Big brother? Big brother Vd, are you there?”
“Vd’s sister?” Paul thought. “That’s definitely her... What was her name? Ah, right.”
Vd slowly sat down on the floor and crawled towards the door, finally opening it.
"Camil, is that you?” he asked. His sickly-looking face was rather terrifying after exerg so much.
“Big brother Vd…” Camil appeared amidst the dark corridors, her small size and fwless appearance made her resemble a doll.
She had long red hair, ge sad-looking silver eyes, and was wearing an old, dust-covered red and purple dress while walking barefoot.
Vd noticed her little feet were all wounded with scars, and she looked all nasty; the butlers were not even taking care of her!
“Poor thing…” Paul sighed.
“I’m hungry, big brother Vd,” she cried. “I-I haven’t drank blood in months…”
“You haven’t?! T-Then you must drink!” Vd muttered. “Hah… I-I wish I could walk; is there no blood saved ie?”
“No…” Camil sighed. “W-Where are the butlers, big brother? I haven’t seen them…”
“T-They… I think they moved away from the house. I heard them talking about... how dull it was; the pay was not good either,” Vd lied.
“Oh…” little Camil looked even sadder.
“Then where else we get blood?” wondered Vd. “I suppose we must go buy some then... There’s no helping it.”
They lived in a small town oskirts of the Empire’s capital. In here, vampires lived in most pces, as yet another race of the many; blood being sold wouldn’t be so rare in Obscuritas.
“I'm afraid of going outside…” Little Camil had her hands trembling. “I-I want to stay…”
“Ah… W-Well, then what we do?” Vd was in quite the pickle right now. “Is mother awake?”
“Mama didn’t answer…” Camil sighed.
“Hah…”
Vd sighed and looked at Camil.
“I’m sorry, Camil, I ’t… walk. My disease… I wish I could be a better brother, but I…” Vd muttered. “I’m nothing but a sorry excuse of a man…”
“Big brother…” Camil looked at her brother with a bit of pity. “D-Don’t say that! Big brother is big brother… You’re kind and o me… unlike mama… Mama’s never o me; she’s always angry. I haven’t done anything wrong to her; why does she hate me?”
“Camil…” Vd gave Camil a hug. “I’m sorry…”
“Hmm…” Camil muttered. “Maybe this help?”
Suddenly, she pointed her tiny hands at him.
FLASH!
Vd felt an invisible force pulling him into the air.
His body began to float in midair.
“Huh?! Camil, is this your power?!” Vd asked in surprise.
“Yes… This is my… my magic,” Camil nodded. “I… I jure magietimes… This is Telekinesis.”
“Amazing!”
Vd started moving through the air; it was hard and fusing, but if he used his arms to grab on things, it was simpler. Camil could alsute her telekinesis output, to the point where he only barely floated over the air.
“I move like this!”
Paul was shocked; it seemed that the strategy to help Vd move around was right in front of his nose.
It was his talented sister, little Camil!
“Perhaps I could ask Vd’s mother for help as well?” Paul thought. “No, Camil did say she treated her badly, so I ’t trust someone who treats their own daughter like that...”
Their mht have held rese against the two children for having been born as Dhampirs and not Vampires, whided up exiling their family from the Empire’s Capital and throwing them in the middle of this tryside town.
“Let’s go find some blood to drink, Camil,” said Vd.
“Where to?” Camil wondered.
“We’ll probably o go outside; are you okay with that? I’ll need your help to walk around, unfortunately,” Vd said.
“Hmm…” Camil looked very afraid of the outside world, for some reason.
“Is it because of her mental dition?” wondered Vd.
He looked at little Camil’s status.

“Ah, she has the Ara Stat! Now it makes sense…” Paul thought. “Wait, her Fw arait too…”
Her Trait sychic, which expins her having Telekinesis at such a young age, which is often sidered a high-ranking magic spell.
And above all, her fw…
Broken Mind.
Vd couldn’t further i her skill, fw, or trait information, but he could make a few guesses.
“Probably caused by her psychic powers araumas…” he thought. “Her mind must be really unstable… Pirl.”
Yet, he could only ask her for help.
“Camil… You won’t be alone; Big Brother will be with you. We don’t o go far away. I saw a shop at the er of the street, right?” Vd asked.
“Hmm…” Camil kept making noises; she didn’t like the idea.
“Please, if we don’t, we won’t be able to feed,” Vd said.
“O-O… okay…” Camil stuttered. “F-For only a minute…”
“Okay, I get it.” Vd nodded, giving her a head pat. “Let’s go.”
Vd quickly got whatever clothes he could find and quickly walked out of the manor with Camil. The entire manor was bigger than he imagined and resembled a byrinth of sorts. O, they found themselves surrounded by a dried-out, ugly garden full of dead flowers and overrun by weeds.
They slowly walked towards the entrance, opening it using the key Vd found, and they walked outside.
Finally!
“I’m outside…”
Vd looked into the vast beauty of the surroundings.
Despite being a world of eternal night, Obscuritas was still very beautiful.
The streets were always illuminated by streetmps, there urple and red-crassnd surrounding the town, and there were some people here and there walking around.
Some of them seemed to be pyers, but they didn’t pay any attention to Vd or Camil. Vd was amazed by the beautiful gothic-styled houses everywhere.
There were also all kinds of people—Majin, Demons, Werewolves, Gargoyles, and even Imps and Night Elves—walking around the streets; he had yet to find a vampire.
Obscuritas was a realm of eternal night where all kinds of dark creatures lived together. Some still fought against one another, but the Empire of Iron Blood accepted all races.
“Let’s gh here, Camil.”
“O-Okay…”
Vd led his sister across the streets; he was getting the hang of “walking” in such a way already, although it was still fusing. With Camil’s help, he was managing.
Ohey reached the shop, Vd pulled out his bag with s. He had found the s on his own night table; it seemed Vd had been saving whatever s he could get.
His total savings amouo 1500 credits, which were shown as shiny white s.
"Hello, sir, do you sell any blood?” Vd asked politely.
The store owner was an old-looking werewolf man with gray-colored fur and sharp purple eyes. He was calmly reading a book uhe light of a dle when they arrived.
“Hm? Yes, we do—a liter for a huen liters fht hundred,” said the general store owner as he analyzed Vd and his sister’s clothes. “Are you beggars? It's rare to find vampire beggars.”
“I… No, we aren’t, anyway; we would like to buy ten liters for the eight hundred.” Vd said, putting the s oable.
“Oh, you’ve got some cash, I guess… Very well,” the old man walked to his ste and then came back with a wooden box with ten bottles of fresh blood.
This blood was extracted from monsters of varying qualities, and it was all mixed. It was sidered the lowest quality of blood, but whewo were so hungry, anything would do just fine.
“Here, a little dy for the child; I don’t like seeing kids with long faces smile a bit,” the store ave little Camil a red-colored lollypop, also made out of caramelized blood.
“Ooh…” Camil took the dy and began to lick it. “Hmm…”
“Camil, how is it said?” Vd asked her.
“Hm?” she asked.
“You have to thank the man for his gift,” Vd taught her.
“T-Tha… thank you,” Camil’s silver eyes looked at the old werewolf man.
The old man was quite a good person at the end, smiling.
“Haha, it’s nothing, child. Go bae now; don’t stay for too long around these areas; it’s not too safe,” the man said.
“Alright, thanks a lot, sir.” Vd stored the blood bottles inside his Pyer Iory and quickly moved bae.
And just as the werewolf man had said…
They were already being chased.
[It’s four men; they’re all weaklings; stomp them down ahem to get stronger.]
The merciless voice of the Heavenly Demon reverberated inside Vd’s mind.
[Don’t hesitate; this is a good opportunity to hunt.]
“…But my sister is here.”
[Sooner or ter, she’ll also have to kill; let her get used to it.]
“You…”
[This world, any world, is no different than mihe weak are trampled, killed, aen; the strong survive another day.]
[Are you going to be the weak that gets eaten or the strong that eats?]
“…”
Vd stopped with Camil, fag the four men chasing them.
They weren’t even trying to hide; it was four of them.
A bulky orc of over two meters i, a bck-colored werewolf, and two red imps looked like twins.
“Well, well, what do we have here?”
“Vampires walking around the streets?”
“And wearing these clothes…”
“Just who are you guys?”
The four of them emanated bloodlust instantly. Vd could already imagine what they wao do to them. As they seemed both weak and poor, they wao kidnap them and see if they could sell them for a high price.
The vampires were the imperial family; after all, selling them in the bck market would eventually a nice sum of money. For thugs like these, doing such a thing was a no-brainer if the opportunity arose.
However, Vd still tried to ask them first.
“What do you io do with us?” he asked.
“Ahhh, I don’t know, man. 't you guess?” ughed the werewolf.
“Not like we need your filthy blood bottles…” the orc said, crossing his arms. “That little girl is pretty, maybe we sell her food price at the end.”
“Vampires always sell food price, even if we kill them!” the imp said.
“Their blood cores always sell for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands!” the sed imp giggled viciously.
“So not even as sves, but as materials?” Vd felt shocked. “T-This is…”
“Big brother…” little Camil hid behind him, trembling.
“Calm down, it’s alright…” Vd looked around the alley, there was nobody there. “Alright, e; I’ll take you down at the same time.”
“At the same time? You must be fug delusional! Hahaha!”
"Then, if you’re so eager to die, be my guest!”
The ord the werewolf charged first, the orc wore no ons, and the werewolf uhed a kheir movements were swift, their bloodlust was direct, and they came to kill him. They would butcher him and sell him piece by piece.
“Let’s do this.”
A pitch-bck aura enpassed Vd pletely, his presend power rising expoially.
[The Character Background Trait: [Heavenly Demon’s Soul (Legendary Grade)] has been activated!]
[For 10 Minutes a day, you’ll receive 50% of the Heavenly Demon’s former strength and abilities. And all debuffs and status effects will be celed.]
[However, your mind and body will be possessed by his unending rage, charisma, and personality!]
Vd’s face ged, as his face gained a solemn, wise expression.
His eyes shoh crimson light.
“You seem so eager to die! e at me, you pathetic pigs!”
“Shut up and die, y of Credits!”
The werewolf reached him first, his knife rushing down toward Vd.
Vd swiftly evaded the stabbing attad then blocked the werewolf’s other arm, which attempted to ssh his face with its cws.
“What…?!”
The werewolf, surprised, quickly kicked Vd’s stomach several times.
Yet there was no effect.
In fact.
CRACK!
“Ugh?!”
The werewolf felt his legs break once he kicked Vd hard enough.
It was as if he were trying to break a wall made pletely out of solid steel!
“T-The fuck is wrong with this guy—ARGH!”
The werewolf was uo respond in time, and Vd’s cws grew from his nails, sshing the werewolf’s ned beheading him on the spot.
SLASH!
The fists of the orc appeared from behind, hitting him several times in a berserk barrage of savage blows.
Yet his knuckles cracked as well!
“ARGH! What is the...?!”
“Pigs like you should be grateful. I’m in a good mood today; I’ll kill you without much pain.”
Vd kicked the orc’s head off as swiftly as possible.
The orc’s head was sent flying into the air and theo the ground, spttering over it as a bloody mess.
“Run!”
“Agh!”
“B-Big brother, help me!”
Camil cried as the two Imps were trying to run away with her.
Yet.
FLASH!
“Where do you think yoing?!”
Vd stepped into the air, moving faster than the Imps and quickly catg up to them.
This was a basic Murim Teique {Cloud Step}!
“He’s walking in the air?!”
“What?!”
Vd moved his two cws down, slig the heads of the two imps within seds, their bodies dropping to the ground.
Camil was about to hit her head on the floor, but Vd mao catch her in time.
The little girl quickly started g, feeling afraid of everything—of the world and of its crudeness.
“B-Big brother…” she started g. “W-What happened…? Why does everyory to kill us for no reason? You killed too? A-are you not afraid?”
“I am…” Vd muttered. “But this is… it must be done.”
Possessing the emotions of the Heavenly Demon, Vd spoke with solemnity and wisdom, although deep inside, he was actually dying e.
Paul looked at the four corpses and smiled. To him, this was a game anyway; it wasn’t as if he was too affected by killing just a few evil NPCs.
Although it was overly realistic, if he kept himself detached enough in these aspects, he thought he could hahe brutality.
And a familiar message appeared above all four of them.
[Do you wish to Absorb the Corpse?]
[Yes] [No]
He pressed yes.
FLASH!
Their bodies disied instantly, as his powers absorbed everything they had.
