It's been a week, I've gotten 8 stat points to all my stats including the day I bought the shop, and I've gotten 80 SS as well. As for the shop, you would never know that it was abandoned. It looked quite pristine and fancy, now I just had to wait for a customer. But during that time I could practice my soul cleaving sword, and I wasn't making much progress. It was in a book similar to those you would find a cultivation novel, but unlike them, I had no master to guide me. Self teaching is highly inefficient and I'm half tempted to stab the damn book.
When it's 15 past twelve, someone finally walks inside. They look around and see walk up to the counter, they stand there for a few seconds, before they finally decide what they're going to order.

[200 SS] [Your restaurant will attract more customers] [A bedroom added to the side building for you to live]
"A burger and fries please" I turn around and start cooking, around 20 minutes later I head out and place the Burger and fries on their table, I then walk back over to the counter and just wait there and start reading over my manual again. I was starting to make some sense of it, and could pinpoint on where I was going wrong. I was trying to cleave an entire soul with my strength, this was simply impossible. While I'm thinking about this, the girl from before taps the counter looking at me expectantly.

"5 dollars please" I'm then handed a five dollar bill. I pocket it and the girl leaves, I then take out my sword from under the counter and start practicing again, but this time, it feels smoother and stronger. I then put the sword away and start praying again, it was that time of day.
I do another 10 pull, hoping for something even better than before, maybe a kick start to my Qi or Mana, I knew this was never gonna happen, but a man can dream.
[1 Merciless Killer, 1 100 USD, 1 pair of shorts, 3 AA batteries, 1 pass to the nearest gym, 1 Stronger immune system, 3 King sized bed sheets]
Well, the pull this time was something at the very least. I guess the bed sheets would be useful for the bedroom I just got. As for the batteries, I was going to pretend I never saw them. It wasn't even a pack of batteries, just three fucking Duracell double a's. The pass to the gym was nice, and the stronger immune system was honestly the thing that excited me most. Something like the flu wasn't going to keep down anymore. I never really got sick, but this would mean I probably never would.
As for Merciless killer, I had no intentions to kill, not yet anyways. Not until I found my resolve to walk down that bloody path. The fact I was bored wasn't going to cut it as the reason I ended up neck deep in blood. In fact, I haven't really thought much killing, or death for that matter. Seems i'm still hopelessly naive.

[You have decided on the path of power, but you haven't accepted all that comes with power. Get rid of your naive mindset, it will only get those you love killed]
[700 SS] [Second entry of your diary] [Unlocking of Bloodthirst]
Well isn't that convenient, rewards for purging my current mindset, and getting a new one. It's 8 pm now, and I had closed my shop down, but I was just standing around, because my room, if you could call it that, literally only had enough room for a bed and for me to walk around. So I sit down on my bed and start thinking. How would it feel, to smile happily with someone knowing I had taken a smile from others, the happiness I denied them.
After thinking of some scenarios, I finally had strengthened my resolve. I had come to terms with how I would feel, and the selfishness of this path. But this is what I wanted, power.
[Quest completed]
Isn't that nice, 40 spins just handed to me, I couldn't be happier. A free pity spin as just handed to me, who wouldn't be happy? I'm about to open my diary, when I hear a massive crash, right after someone starts yelling.
"Hey you, it's time to pay your installation fees and protection payment, better have $200 to spare" I hear a bunch of laughter right after he's finished. To say I was pissed would be an understatement. Who the the fuck shows up at 9pm and asks for protection fees was my question. I walk out and see 4 men with metal pipes and one with brass knuckles. They look like your average gangsters, winch is to say one was fat, ugly and bald, while the others where just ugly and bald.
After walking out, I walk up to the bald man, and pretend to look it my pockets, before I send my fist flying out towards the man, just to cause more mayhem I start shouting "Eat Shit, Fucker!" the rest of the men launch themselves towards me, but because they all swung downwards and I was around 2 times faster and stronger than them, I just dash towards one of them, and punch him in the gut, he drops his pipe and clutches his gut. I swiftly pick up the pipe and hold it in a blocking position, stopping the incoming pipes, it was a strain, but this stunt seems to have made the gangsters take a step back.
I dash towards one of them and smash his ribs with the pipe, he falls over, while the others dash towards me. One is going for a sideways swipe towards my ribs while the other is doing a diagonal swing so they don't clash. I duck down, before quickly standing back up and smash my pipe into the nearest ones abdomen with a thrust, before turning around and hooking my leg on the man and tripping him. I then feel a massive pain in my ribs, and see one of them got a clean hit to the left side of my chest. I then wrench the pipe from his grip and slam them both on the grounded man.
I then turn around to and see a punch going towards my torso, I drop the pipes and move towards the side, then picking up the man using his arm and slamming him into the the boss of the men, as he was getting up again. After that, the only thing that can be heard is those men groaning in pain. I want to join them, as my ribs are killing me, but I put on an indifferent face before walking out of the store to see if there's anyone there.
After looking around, I see no one, and I then unceremoniously take the men throw them in a dumpster 3 blocks down.
"What a night" I mutter
