In a semi-darkened room, a man dressed in a bloody shirt looked into a corner, there before his eyes stood a man with black clothes and a mask on his face.

The man did not understand when this man got there, which made him very frightened at first. And then when he looked closely he did not feel the mana of the other side.

There are two possibilities, either the opposite side is very strong or vice versa he has no strength. But given the fact that he didn't notice the other side enter the room.

His guess is leaning toward the former, so he wanted to talk first. That's right, if there isn't enough strength, you have to negotiate as soon as possible.

That's the basic rule of most arrogant people entangled in authority.

"Who you are, what you want."

The other party bowed his head, it was as if he was watching him.

"What did you want to do with this girl?"

Without answering the other party asked an answering question, it occurred to him that he didn't consider himself strong so there was no need to answer his question.

He felt anxious, this situation was getting out of his control.

Taking a step toward the girl he surreptitiously hid his hand behind his back, simultaneously pressing the miniature device in his back pocket.

The other party seemed not to notice this and continued to stare at him.

He jumped back up and took the girl hostage, the other party did not react either.

Suddenly he went to his right raising his hand and tapping the bottom of the mask on his face. After which he turned and walked backwards.

As if he was thinking about something, this action caused the man to go into a stupor. He held the girl firmly in front of him.

Waiting for what the other party would do so went on for almost a minute, the man's nerves were on edge.

"If you don't get out of here right now I...."

He didn't finish the words as suddenly the other party jumped up from his seat with such speed that he barely reacted.

Instinctively pushing the girl forward.  He felt a pain in his left thigh and looked down.

Blood was oozing from his thigh; he wanted to look at the other side, but he felt something stick into his back.

Again he was unable to react, raising his hand he instinctively swung back, but it didn't hit anything.

Pain appeared in his right shoulder, followed by pain in his right hip. From which he fell to his knees, only then did he see the man standing in front of him.

He was holding a dagger and looking at him. The man wanted to threaten because he called for help.

But he felt something jammed right into his throat.

Before his eyes the man in black was holding the other side of the dagger that was sticking out of his throat.

Gradually his mind began to lose its clarity, he wanted to fight once more swung at the man, but his strength was not enough.

Soon there was darkness.

.....

Watching as the man's eyes gradually dimmed, I pulled out the dagger and kicked him in the face with my foot.

Looking around I found a trembling girl in the corner, coming closer I hid the dagger, raised my hand and tried to calm him down.

"Don't worry, it's okay, you're saved, you can leave here don't worry and calm down."

Listening to me the girl clearly didn't believe me, just kept looking at me trembling. Finally moved closer and watched as she trembled even more.

Slowly I raised my hand to her head, she closed her eyes and squeezed as hard as I could.

Placing my hand on her head I gently rubbed and soothed.

"See, I'm not going to hurt you, so calm down."

It took a few minutes for her to finally realize and gradually stop shaking.

"So now I'm going to get you out of here so don't worry, okay?"

Not sure why she started shaking again so I had to calm her down again.

But then I heard shouting from upstairs, something happened up there, maybe they found the ones I lost. I need to get this place cleaned up quickly since I don't have much time.

Gently stroking her hair I explained.

"Listen, stay here, you hear something going on up there. I'll have to eliminate them all so I can get you all out of here. Stay here quietly, okay?"

She stopped listening to me until she heard me coming upstairs and her trembling started growing again.

I had to leave it as it was too dangerous upstairs even for me, let alone the girl.

Taking one last look at her I cautiously left the room at the same time checking my glasses.

3650, so for killing a level 2 sign I get 3000 points.

Looking at the store with that amount there's nothing to buy.

After clearing my mind I focused on the next steps, if there are more level 2's it's going to be hard.

Luckily something bastard didn't attack me first so taking advantage of the moment I finally activated the boot effect. But there's no time for that now, it might take a few minutes to get the effect.

Now I'm weak so only this tactic will work, I need to earn more points.

If you kill a few more people, you can get almost 4,000 points and buy a ring or gloves.

I cautiously started walking upstairs, normal people aren't a problem, but if I get caught off guard by a level 1 sign then my chance of survival will be drastically worsened.

Opening the basement door four people were approaching this way, and in the distance were several people, all dressed as bodyguards.

The ones in the distance are two level 1, but the one in the distance is level 2.

The ones coming this way are all one level 1, and the rest are ordinary people.

Without thinking, I opened the door sharply and rushed towards them. Level 1 noticed me and immediately jumped to the side because the special effect was not activated.

He was able to dodge, but the others did not, killing three was not a problem. Turning towards level 1 I wanted to hit him, but he had already swung at me. I could see his punch, but his body wasn't fast.

And that was the first time I got hit, it hurt especially since I was thrown back against the wall.

This time the dagger blocking didn't go away. I could already see from the corner of my eye that others were running this way and the level 2 type was running very fast.

When I was distracted to the face flew the next blow, I was able to dodge it and hit back.

The dagger went through his chest cutting his clothes and leaving a trace of the knife.

I jumped back and wanted to walk backward, but I felt a fierce force pushing me forward.

Pain ran down my back, from the impact I flew to the wall on the opposite side and smashed it down on the other side on the ground.

It was a huge space with lots of slot machines.

I held back a cough and got up off the floor as fast as I could. There was a dull pain in my back.

I saw that level 2 guy coming this way. He had a wicked smirk on his face, apparently already guessing my power level.

Unfortunately even the special effect didn't work, so I had to think of something.

And that's when the points in the 3800 system came in front of my eyes, from those three I got 150. Suddenly an idea came to me, I need to somehow manage to kill at least four more to reach 4000 points and buy something.
