Chereads / What If A Thief Gets Reincarnated. / Chapter 4 - The Slums.

Chapter 4 - The Slums.

The slums are the best place to know about a country's poverty. The slums face a lot of problems no shelter, food, no electricity, no technology, and mainly
discrimination but in this world, there is no technology (it is so hard without technology), the slums would be the hell of this place.

When I went to the slums, the place was really hell, the gutters were not cleaned properly the smell was all around, when people saw me they ran away, Desmond said ' let's leave my king this place is not something for you I said ' I don't care I saw that Desmond was frustrated, but he came with me (the power of the king is great).

I went into the slums and knocked on a door of a house, the house was at its worst it was going to fall off, a woman came out and said ' I will pay the money soon don't take away my son' she was trembling. After she saw my face she fell on my foot, I said ' get up '(I am a thief I don't deserve respect) she got up immediately. She said ' I am so sorry for not paying your taxes', taxes what for one year just one year the king was gone and the kingdom is in chaos.

I went to Desmond, I was so angry, I asked him about the taxes, he was so scared to talk about them, probably he was the one who issued the taxes, I walked away from him, I went to the woman and said ' you don't have to pay taxes anymore'. I heard a message ' you are Kind' phew, two more people to be kind to.

Suddenly a little boy came and punched in my stomach, he said, ' don't be so happy just because you helped a person'

I was in pain, it seems like I was so weak or he was so strong .

If I get angry and say something to that boy my quest will not be fulfilled, my guards held that boy.

Desmond raised his hand to hit that boy I said stop, Desmond was angry because I stopped him, in all that pain, I said the guards to leave the boy.

I put up a smile and said ' its alright,say your problems I will solve them' the boy was not looking at me (I am a king you punched me in my stomach and I am kind to you now you are looking away, what a brat)

He said ' I will say about the problems but you gotta take a tour around the slums with me ' well that's what I was planning for, Desmond tried to stop me I don't care(he is a traitor).

After this, I heard a message (system upgrade)

Huh, this system is the worst. It did not show endurance first. After the upgrade endurance Zero, I am gonna kill that God one day. I am stuck in a useless place with useless people and system, I'm gonna die.

We went around the slums. The boy said his name was Giro. we traveled around the slums; it seems like after Cerdia took a part of them and; the taxes have been increased in the slums only; I know how hard it is to earn money while you are in the slums, after finishing high school I tried to apply for college, none took me in it was devastating, a college finally took me in and people in there looked at me differently, there are sometimes I wished to die well after studying I became a world-class thief and people respected me (they did not, they killed me).

Giro said that his family suicided because they couldn't pay the taxes, he said that he hated me so much.

I have a very big problem to solve and it is about the taxes, there are a lot of moles in the kingdom. I gotta start stealing the money from them soon.

We came across different streets I saw a lot of ceremonies for the dead, I asked Giro about It, he said, ' there is a serial killer on the streets, for some reason he only kills women and he stopped after 5 kills. what this sounds familiar, argh come on brain think you know this guy, I give up I felt like I know him but I forgot I am sure it will come to me.

I promised Giro that I will take away the poverty from these slums, Giro was so happy on hearing that, after this, I went to the market I still had to finish that quest; I helped an old man take his load (my back hurts) and I named a little girl's dog (I named it Oreo) I finished my quest I was so happy on receiving the stats points.

I went to my palace, sat on my bed, and opened the stats window.

I know this place it was heaven, where is the God I wanna kill him.

I heard a voice saying you can't kill me dummy' I was so angry, God said ' enjoying your punishment '

I said ' not at all'

he said ' I see ',

I wanted to ask him something but before i could start he interrupted me and and 'bye' and left I really hated this guy.

eh I remember the serial killer it is him 'Jack The Ripper', the most notorious serial killer of London, oh no this is the biggest problem, did he get reincarnated as a punishment like me too? How can I stop him? How do I find him? What am I gonna do? Oh no
