I was shocked when I realised how many corpses there were.
"1..5..10..20..34..42!"
42 beast corpses and if I'm correct they are E rank and above!
There are also human corpses which I can sell in the black market. I touched the head of all the corpses. They seem to have teleported. It may be suspicious if I went out unscathed so I used the sword to give me a few bruises here and there. Today I couldn't farm much exp but at least I made money.
I left the dungeon by pressing a small button which was on the ring. It was time to cash out.

That was how much I made by selling the beast corpses today. Obviously I should have made much more, I was practically scammed by the receptionist as he thinks there's no way an extra like me could know. It didn't bother me much, it's not as though I hunted them myself.
If I could only get to level 2 on all my physical stats that would be more than enough. Fighting isn't't my specialty anyways. I just need some strength so I'll at least be able to protect myself before I get more pieces.
After I get to level 2. I'll invest my remaining stat points in intelligence and charisma. Intelligence is a must. In a game of chess white has a headstart even so, it depends on how it plays it's first piece will he play the pawn or the knight? and if the former or latter where would he place them? Intelligence plays a crucial part in any game. As for charisma that would help me recruit pieces faster.

I can't help but let my mind wander to the guy I saw at the dungeon. Who was he? He seems around my age, he must be going to school right? It wouldn't be very hard to find him if he does, hes looks are very noticeable. He had Brown hair and green eyes. He was leaning more towards the pretty side than handsome. If I had not seen him standing on top of a pile of corpses I would have taken him to be a rather gentle person. He seemed to be very good at hiding what he thinks it would have been hard for me to read his indifferent face if not for his gaze direction. I've never found it hard to read someone before.. He was very interesting....
I stood up from my bed and went to the mirror. I've become noticeably more handsome since I was gifted the system. I guess you could say I no longer look like an average extra.
I should probably call Peter so we can meet up somewhere. It would be better to get his piece fast so I can always have assurance.
"Hey can we meet up somewhere today?"
"Oh sure"
We met at the park, he was already there it seemed as though he was waiting for me.
"Hey did you wait long?, sorry about that."
"No I just arrived"
"Ok.."

Today I plan on selling the human corpses in the black market. Obviously I can't just walk into the market with my bare face so I bought a mask.
The market was very organized it was arranged in stalls lined up in rows. The different rows each sold a particular type of thing some weapons some potions.
There were 12 human corpses which I sold for 1000 each. Hunting humans seems far more profitable than hunting beasts but it is illegal and that's why I have to go to the black market to do so. People sell at the black market when they want to buy and sell illegal items, human corpses being one of them. Since I'm already at here I might as well buy stuff.
I looked through the market to find the stuff I wanted to buy...
"Found it!"
