Volume 0 preview ending : It only took a few minutes for Jimmy and the guard to reach the clearing were labour was visibly ongoing.
"System shop open"
Jimmy thinks in his mind.
Chapter 1.
Jimmy browse to the very knife he had desired for many years, a common teir 3 knife.
"I just have enough teals of silver to buy this"
Jimmy clicked buy in his mind.
Then that very knife appeared on Jimmy's hand.
Jimmy crept to the guard not far away from him.
Jimmy's hand were trembling, not from fear, but from the feeling of being free and removing the first obstacle to his freedom, The guard.
Jimmy grip tightened on the knife in his hand, his muscles tightened as hard as they can.
Jimmy hand shot up and covered the guard's mouth.
"Gasp" that was what came out of the guard's mouth.
The tip of the knife was trusted into the guard's side, specially towards the right liver
Shkkkk!!!!
The sound of steel tearing through flesh echoes very faintly around the darkness.
Jimmy didn't stop with just a thrust, he thrust it once.
Twice.
Three times.
Then the fourth.
And Jimmy stopped, blood splattered everywhere and on his knife.
Jimmy pushed the seemly lifeless guard body aside then he used a piece of cloth to clean the blade.
"You are lucky, to have red blood, your body has many nutrients", Jimmy said with a cold tone.
Jimmy stood untop of the guard.
Then!!
The guard brought out his own teir 3 common knife and slashed at jimmy.
Jimmy stepped back, easily dodging the strike and gave the guard a good kick to the side.
Crack!!!!,
The guard cry out in pain, but to the empty dark sky, 3 ribs broken in one clean kick.
" Ha ha ha ha, have you been this weak pathetic".
Jimmy said in an almost cocky and confident tone.
Jimmy black eyes seem to shine with killing intent to the guard.
A knife was brought down by Jimmy to the guards chest.
" Spaaaart".
The guard spat out a large amount of blood until his body goes stiff, finally dead.
Jimmy crouched down to the guard and begging looking for something on the guards cloth.
It took a few minutes of searching and Jimmy found what he was looking for, a nutrient recovery pill.
Jimmy was very happy because this pill will restore all of the nutrients lost and even amplify it.
He swallowed it at once without a second thought and the changes were immediate.
Jimmy felt warmth flow through his entire body he grew 1 metres and 5 inches taller, making his new height 7 metres and 7 inches tall, and his body now has a cream colour his eyes sharper and he fells human, his muscle grew larger and he felt normal.
