Smiling at his status sam took a bit of his food, he was certainly on the path to his past power and then beyond." so what do you think?" he asked the helper.
'you are doing well your energy has shone the most progress but your lord level and mind stat have shown no improvement.' it answered it's lord.
"yeah this the expected progress, soon I'll be able to get serious without major risk to my life. but I'm not sure when I should deal with my mind stat, no" he whispered to himself "rather it how long until I am forced to deal with it." looking down at his food with a complicated expression sam lost his sense for a moment. taking a deep breath sam pressed down the negative emotion rising in his throat. 'it will be okay, it will be okay it will be okay...' sam mentally repeated this to himself until the negative emotions were pushed someplace deep until he was ready to deal with them or they overflowed again." I guess I should find an isolated place soon before my safe breaks open and I don't want to have to move plus my parents will be pissed."
Stabbing the food Sam returned to eating in silence with more than a few thought running around his head the helper stayed quite not sure how to help him in the mouth that they had been assigned to the new lord of lust there preparations had been proven shallow, their lord was a unique being who seemed to have everything under control and no need for there help. they were glad their lord was so caple but it made them feel unnecessary hopefully they will be able to be of real use sometime soon.
done with his food sam placed the container and fork into the sink for now, 'okay I've eaten what was my plan for the day again. after work I was... oh yeah work on the lust in my body.' laying down on the couch sam started too take measured breaths as he turned his senses inward. specifically towards his energies quickly finding the warm feminine but masculine feeling energy. that was mostly floating around his body except a small bit lingering in his left eye and another lingering in his groin. taking account of the amount of lust in his body 'not enough to completely form the core but close to it maybe one or two more people. returning his senses outward sam got off the couch.
"where going hunting!" he told the system before going upstairs to grab his obsidian necklace ring and bracelets before walking out the front door into the street. running down the street to pick up sam channeled mana to his sholes as he ran towards a random house, crouching a few feet away from the house the mana exploded from his feet scorching the ground and propelling sam into the air.
sliding to a stop an inch from falling off the roof sam steadied himself before looking over his shoes and feet." thank god all my clothing have self-repair runes in them, I make them worth the three-figure price I would be paying six-figures for the clothes I damage and lose." sam took his shoe before tying the laces together before hanging them from his shoulder.' this should do for now,' focusing more mana to his soles sam ran to the edge of the roof releasing the built-up energy as he jumped.
it was three hours and a leg cramp later that sam stopped running across the rooftops, "I can't believe I didn't come across one person with a high lust level. didn't I already deal with them all in my immediate area." the lord said after limping to aa place to sit.
'that would be an appropriate assumption the other possibility that the one you missed have dealt with there lust on there own!' sam nodded in understanding before starting to massage his legs.
"I guess I'll have to head out farther to find someone." massaging his legs in silence sam watch people go about there day until his leg was better. jumping up from where he was sitting sam once more took off down the street weaving his way through the crowd like a rat through the sewer. soon he arrived at a nearby hover train station, sam got on the next train and didn't get off until he was in another part of town.
Off the train, sam began to wander the streets staying in crowded places as he wasn't familiar with the area. At one point he grew bored so he turned up his sense of smell and his other sense down leaving him to navigate with his nos. It was always interesting to do this as not only was it challenging but he learns things about the people he passes based on their smell. like on guy smell liked he bathed in beer from how much he drank, one woman was in her time of the month, he smelt a couple who smell like each other, sweat, and sex a lot of sex. He did this until the helper informed him of high lust in his vicinity.
following the direction from the helper, sam found himself standing in front of an abandoned-looking storefront in an alley. 'is this a hidden store?' sam had run into his fair share of hidden stores during his time,' now that I think about it a probably need to find a witch supply store and check on my ingredients hidden around my house! where my spellbook?' for a moment sam train of thought derailed from gather lust and to his witch relate things.
'my lord you should focus on dealing with the lust then you can focus witching later.' the helper said knocking sam from his thoughts.
'you're right, let's get this over with.' opening the door with a lot less muscle then you would think looking at it, sam walked into the store. Smelling around sam raised an eyebrow at dirty carpet covered in trash." how detailed," sam commented before channeling mana to his hand as he reached forward with it "shatter" he clenched a fist. The world splintered and fell apart revealing a punk goth designed shop. Sam reverted his sense before looking around the shop bouncing on his toes. this store had beautifully dark styled clothing and lazy dark styled as well and kinds of witch spell ingredients, witch spells and potions, cursed charm and blessed ones, and so on... so on...
Sam slowly made his way through the store look at the merchandise and for the source of the lust, it didn't take longs there was only one other person in the store the clerk. the clerk looked maybe in her late teens but her outfit told sam that it was far from true for it was a witch style outfit darker shades of colors and very dramatic looking. "hello," greeted her pulling her attention from her holo-ring.
Immediately she did a double-take at the sight of him before narrowing her eye," title please!" she was asking for Sam's title as a witch, these titles composed of the witch's specialty magic and level as a witch with a little flair on occasion.
"Prince of night curses." keeping an eye on him the witch typed something in the screen of her ring probably looking him up on the W-work, 'thank god I updated my W-net profile awhile back.'
turning of her ring she turned back to sam with a disinterested stare, "well hello prince welcome to Sally's witch store what can I help you with?"
"I'm looking to restock on my ingredients for spells, also I've been away from the witch community for a few years so I need any night curses books published in the last four years, as for the ingredients I'm looking for are the blood of rabbits, wolfs, ravens, several kinds of cats, moonstones, moon dusk, light of twilight..." as sam detailed as list of ingredients he thought about how he could absorb the lust that was inside her.
"is that all? she asked after typing in the last of sam's order.
"Yeah, that's it," Sam said as he pulled up his digital debit card.
"now would you mind telling me why you came into my store, it's obvious you didn't know it was here before." sam's lip twitched a bit witch's needed high observation skills to survive and it all way reminded him of one of the witches who raised him.' i wonder what she does now.'
"several hundreds of thousand miles away a large burly woman sneezed as she tended to her garden just before backhanding a giant bone eater lotus trying to sneak up on her.
a shiver went down sam's spine not a moment later after that thought, probably still as strong and fierce as ever.' letting out a sigh he put on a serious face, "I came into here because of a job I was given to prevent a creature older than are planet from influencing people and breaking free from its prison. to do that I need to locate certain people."
"what do you do to those you find?" she reached a hand behind the counter.
"absorb a form of energy from them, that has no effect on their health?"
"and after that,
"nothing, I leave them alone unless that energy builds up again."
"how do you absorb this energy.
"simple physical contact, for the time being, I plan to learn to do so from a distance." the witch thought for a moment before keeping one hand under the counter but handing the other to sam. smiling he took hold of it and immorality feeling the now familiar but Microscopic presence flowing into his hand.
"so how long do we have to hold hands
"depends on how much you have," she hummed in response and braced he elbow against the counter as the muscles in her arm tensed. sam relived what she was suggesting so he braced his own elbow and tensed his arm," on the count of three". the witch nodded "3..2..1!" the second they said one they each tried to force the others arm on to the counter.
The two struggled for a couple of minutes before sam used a burst of strength to win."Go again she asked with a smirk that sam returned. For the 8 minutes, it took for sam to absorb her lust and 7 more after that they had 11 matches sam winning 6 of them. After paying for his order sam thanked her for her help and cooperation and she thanked him for the entertainment and information as sam headed out the store.
Back on the main road sam turned all his sense to near zero except hearing, navigating the streets sam spent the next almost five hours wandering the streets finding few people whose lust he had to absorb before turning back and heading home. well that was what he planned to do but that plan was trashed by the helper.' my lord we have an emergency, immediately head north northeast you must cross 2.4 miles in 30...29...28...'
The moment sam heard the word emergency he dashed to a nearby alley, activating the obsidian necklace sam climbed to the roof as the vantablack tux formed on him. flipping on tho the roof sam dropped his shoes there midair before bursting north northeast with enough force to crack the rooftops with each step.
By the time the helpers count down reached six sam arrived above an alleyway where a mugging was going down well, it was a mugging as the attacker was beginning to tear off the victim clothes, half a moment passed before a chill filled the alley and I give you a hint it wasn't the wind.
both the victim and assaulter froze as the chill came over them, "the he-" he attacker didn't get to finish as his head was suddenly snapped to the right before snapping in the other direction before she sent flying into the right wall. before she could even slide onto the ground she was knocked into the opposite wall back and forth she went more than a dozen times before she was dropped in the middle of the alley where sam landed knees first in her stomach.
the victim blinked in confusion as she couldn't understand what just happened, it happened to fast all she saw was a blur of movement." call the police," a quiet voice entered her ear making her jump. the order was repeated with a much more forceful tone deciding not to test the person currently curb stomping her attacker she quickly pressed on her hollo-earing three times connecting to emergency services.
"hello this is emergency dispatch what is your emergency?" she quickly explained what was going on," a patrol car is on its way." sam's head snapped up as he heard a police siren in the distance.
'i got a few minutes until it arrives," he looked down at the beaten women at his feet and gave her one more kick before grabbing her collar and dragging her to the woman she attacked, "what should happen to her?"
"what do you mean?"
"should she live to be arrested or should her life end here? it's your choice," she reeled back in horror. "she wanted to hurt you it's only fair if you decide if she gets hurt as well," sam lifted her just enough so that her bruised and bloody face could be seen. 'it also a great step to moving on from this experience'.
Silence filled the alley as the attacked female thought swallowing her spit she spoke in a shaky voice, "let... let the police deal with her...she's... not worth the blood on our hands!"
"so true people like this are not the pain and nightmares, now before I go I have something to tell you. Do not run from today or it will chase, face it and defeat it so you can move forward stronger than ever." sam then let go of the beaten women's collar before juping towards the right wall and scaling it to the roof.
when she could no longer see her savoir she flopped onto her back her heart beating like she had run a marathon,' what an eventful day this has been when I wish for some excitement this was not what I had in mind, maybe going on a trip or a fateful encounter. I guess this contents as a fateful encounter but seriously.' eventually she got soo deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice the arrival of the police until one of them laid a hand on her which nearly got him punched in the face.
after apologizing she got a good look at him and instantly she realized," he cute." seeing his face flush she realized that she said that out loud and her own face turn red in response. the laughter of the other officer who was applying the plasma cuffs broke the atmosphere that was building between the two. clearing his throat the first officer held out his hand to help her stand. their hands remain together as they walked to the squad car just as the ambulance drove up.
upon the rooftops with zero presence sam watched the two women were taken to a police cruiser and ambulance respectively," so when someone lust draws the attention of the beast it will manipulate them so that they attack someone so the same happens to them."
'that is correct my lord,' if it had a body the helper would be sweating more then a woollymammoth in the desert on the hottest day of the year.
"I see, "was all Sam said before he walked back to the train station and head home, 'it seems that my plan of being passive is in need in revision.'
{this is were thing really took off didn't they?}
