Chapter 7 - An ally or a burden? Part 2

The boy slowly walks upstairs an hour after Greg went to his room, with a knife he got from the kitchen,

"What a huge idiot! did he really think that I'll obey him like that? what an idiot indeed!" the boy is smiling disgustingly.

he stealthily opening up doors to find where Greg is.

"Not here.. Not here..." Said the boy.

once he opens the wrong door.

"There it is! You'll meet your end today! you prideful bastard! You're strong but in the end you're just a human like me!" The boy said all of that in his head, and took a very, very, very, deep breath and ran towards Greg.

"HAAAA!!" the boy shouted as he is swinging his sword towards the sleeping Greg's right chest.

"DIE!!" a second left before the knife makes contact with Greg's chest.

"Hmm.. Loud.." Greg quickly moved his body to his left side

"W-wait what? what happened?" Said the boy, looking confused as he is staring on a sleeping Greg.

"I SAID DIE!!!" the boy plunged himself towards Greg.

Greg quickly dodged the boy's plunging attack.

"W-Wha?! a-agai--" the boy couldn't finish his words because a blanket covered his entire face.

"Wh-Where are you--" the boy couldn't finish his words again, but this time his neck has been snapped.

"I thought you are slick but instead you're just a loser who gets carried on by his own emotions huh?" Greg cracked his knuckles and his neck.

"I forgot to ask his name but either way, he is a waste of space in my head to remember.

A tab appeared.

Greg opened up the tab.

STR + 1, INT + 1, AGI, +1 and DEX, + 0.5.

" Wait what? I can get their souls to get their stats? isn't this cheating? Oh well might as well stop complaining and take it"

Greg picked the soul and another tab appeared.

"This is cliché and not cliché at the same time, what kind of god who gifts mortal directly under the name of god. Very cool. Egotistical indeed." Greg opens up the tab.

another tab appears

"Wait, i thought gods can see everything--" Greg got interrupted by another tab.

"Ah.. he's watching me right now.." Greg sighed as he said that.

"What does this soul harvester do? is it literally just harvesting souls or there's a catch."

a tab appeared once again.

[Soul Harvester]

You can only get souls from the ones you've killed with your own hands.

the stats given by the skill is based of a portion of the total value the prey's soul and the skill's rank.

formula: (35% soul value) x (I) or 1.2

"this is unnecessary because the skill will just give out the soul itself not me.." Greg laughed

"Oh damn, I forgot!" Greg rushed towards the staircase.

two appears.

Sharpness: 3.5

Durability: 75

Just a dagger.

A paper that can grant weapon a slight enhancement of it's sharpness, it does not work on blunt weapons.

Durability: 133

Skill: Hard Swing

Consume of the soul you have killed to get!

STR + 2, DEX + 0.5 AGI + 1

"This might be that huge man's soul. To think there's no bonus INT stat makes me pity him."

Greg takes the soul

Greg opens another tab

Consume the soul of the prey you have killed to get.

STR +0.5, INT + 1, DEX + 2

"this one's might be the lackey because of his DEX stat being high. He has no other options too so he was just a lackey with no future." Greg takes the soul.

Greg consumes the three souls at the same time.

"Hm.. This feels refreshing.." Greg closes his eyes and a tab appears right in front of him

"Hm..?" Says Greg as he opened his eyes.

you have gained STR + 3.5, INT + 2, AGI + 2, DEX + 3.

"Hm.. a bountiful harvest.. and here I thought that boy was a burden, he was a stepping stone." Greg went to his room to dispose of the boy's body.

5 minutes later.

"Phew, there you go. he was so light, or I was just too strong." Greg clapped his hands to remove the dust.

"I guess I'll just sleep today, I have nothing to do. I have to be frugal about food too.."

Greg walks to his house and sleep.

"I am concerned what's gonna happen to me when I have made contact with god itself, I hope no misfortune befalls on me..." Greg mumbled himself to sleep.
