Chapter 5 - First kill

During the last three years, along side his training John had also been following news reports, he was keeping a lookout for reports on demons and monsters but fortunately or unfortunately he couldn't find anything. There had only been a dramatic rise in missing person cases of which 60% had been concentrated around his city, which for him was a big concern, Why? Well cause his parents are here... And so it was decided, he would find out what was going on and he would move at night .

11:45 PM

It was almost midnight meaning it was almost time to move out, which also means it was prep time. Opening my wardrobe i looked around for a bit then took out a pair of black pants, a black jacket, a white face mask and a black cap. Putting them on i turned off my lights and looked into the mirror and seeing only a pair of glowing purple eyes staring right back at me i was satisfied . "perfect". Turning on the lights i took a seat by my bed opened up my pc, i was going over the news report and memorizing every single detail i didn't leave anything out cause a single slip up could very well cost me my life... Well my second one. After going over it for the next ten minutes it was finally midnight, it was time to move out. Closing my pc i stood up from my bed and walked out my room door. *click* *clank*. Moving through the house i went on to lock all the doors, windows and turning off all the lights cause i didn't really need light in the dark to see ( A/N: and it was also midnight) , i had night vision. It was an ability i unlocked after turning 14 and according to the system it was a racial ability which got me kinda excited cause that meant i could unlock other racial abilities, well that was what i thought but after turning 15 a few days ago i had no such luck.

Shaking my head to get rid of those useless thoughts i walked back to my room. The fam was out of town so it was the perfect time to execute my investigation, reaching my room i opened the door and went inside. I walked towards my wardrobe opened it up and took out a pair of black gloves 🧤 and black sneakers, put them on and walked towards my window. opening it up i looked down and It was a really long way down after all i lived in the top floor of a six story apartment building, But it was also closest to the roof making my climb towards the roof fairly easy. After reaching the roof i took in the cool night air then looked towards a specific direction and started running i leaped from roof top to roof top at speeds nearly 3 times that of the fastest humans rolling a few times to minimize the impact of my jumps. After running for like five minutes i started slowing down but not due to fatigue but because i was getting close and as i got closer i started sensing this faint, strange yet familiar energy. It felt like where ever i was going was welcoming me, after running for a few more seconds i stopped. I was at the edge of what looked like a single story building. It seemed to be where the energy was comming from. Climbing down the building at a reasonable pace i jumped down after reaching a height of 3 meters, landing with a soft

*thud*. I proceeded to circle the building. It was an abandoned building with broken windows and unlocked doors, nothing seemed suspicious but the faint energy had gotten stronger and it definitely was from this building. So after an internal struggle that lasted like 30 seconds i decided to enter, i walked towards the back door and pushed it open. The inside of the building was pitch black even with my night vision ability i couldn't see shit!!. this, this was definitely a red flag but i had made up my mind i had to check it out. So what out further ado i walked in.

Looking at the screen in front of me i wasn't surprised, frankly speaking i didn't know why i wasn't expecting this , it was basic transmigrator shit!!. Slay demons, level up, fu*k shit up and expect the unexpected.... Letting out a deep breath i cleared my mind of such thoughts and looked behind me trying to locate the exit but to nobodies surprise it wasn't there all that was behind me was the same as what was in front of me just a vast smelly cave, seriously this place smelled like shit and rotten corpses these goblins must be real animals if they are willing to live here. Looking in front of me once more i examined my surroundings but immediately regretted it, my heart rate increased my breathing became ragged. Forcing my self to not vomit i closed my eyes and recalled the scene. Corpses littered the ground. Men, women, children no one was spared, they had chunks of flesh missing from their lifeless bodies, the women had their clothes torn in specific parts. It wasn't hard to imagine what had happened to them . A silent tear slid down my face. Cleaning my face i walked around the corpses in graining the scene into my mind. Stopping i looked around one more time bowed then walked further into the cave. The further i went the darker it became but that wasn't a problem, well at least not for me. After walking for a few more meters i saw a forked path, one to the right and one to the left. Thinking for a few seconds i just said "Fu*k it". And walked towards the left. Seconds later i met my first Goblin, it was red, short abot 100 cm with pitch black eyes and an ugly nose. We locked eyes for a brief second before it let out a painfully lound cry and charged at me

" SHREEEEEEKKKKKKKK". It was fast but not as fast as me. After crossing the distance of two meters it sent out a punch which i caught by catching it's fist and kneed it's face, which disfigured its already disfigured face but still not letting go i grabbed its neck and squeezed. And with a low cracking sound it's body went limp.
