"Anil."
The name Anil seems very fitting for it.
[+5 trust]
The cats eyes are basically glittering it must really like it's name.
Anyways, the system says I should gain it's trust right? I already know this this going to be very difficult.
I only gained five trust from naming it which was very discouraging.
I sighed.
"UGHH where did that foul stench coming from" I say covering my mouth with my hands to prevent me from throwing up.
"There's literally a corpses in this room what did you expect?" The cat, says in an annoyed manner.
That's right I should probably call the police or something, maybe the ambulance?
I rush downstairs and get the telephone.
3..2..1
"Hic hic hello? My mother... she.. she.. please come. hic hic" I say as I cut the line
Obviously I had to fake cry, how would it be if I called and told them:
"Hello my mother killed herself but that's alright cause I have a system now so could you come take her away? She smells horrible."
I would definitely be the prime suspect.
They would probably have to do some sort of investigation but I don't think that will hinder or put me in trouble in any way.
**
The ambulance finally arrived and I followed them to the hospital.
Despite all I said a part of me still wished that my mother would still be alive. We could start a whole new life together.
We finally arrived at the hospital. She died.
Even so, it was expexted. I did this to her. If only I had called the ambulance sooner she would have still been alive.
Its all my fault.
...
Wait, actually it isn't.
If the system didn't pop up I wouldn't have thought it was a prank. And if not for the protagonist the system wouldn't have popped up.
So...
ITS ALL THE PROTAGONISTS FAULT!
And here I was almost blaming myself.
As I was ranting about the protagonist I noticed two buff men walking towards me.
One was pale and had many noticable scars on his arms. He was bald with no single strand of hair to be found.
I was almost blinded as his head was reflecting light towards my eyes.
The other had a fair amount of hair though his hair line was declining. He was darker in complexion and looked more friendly in comparison to the other.
Obviously I knew who they were.
LOAN SHARKS!
Here debts are transferred to the next of kin which in this case is me.
I always suspected that my mother had trouble with money but going to loan sharks!?
And more importantly...
IM THEIR NEXT VICTIM!
"Come with us." The bald man said.
No way I was going with them. Is it what I would have said if I had a choice.
The other man swoops me of my feet and carries me on one if his shoulder with my head dangling.
Is noone really not going to do anything?
Is this even legal!?
***
"You have an idea of whats going on right?" One of the men asked.
"Your loan sharks right? Just how much money did my mother borrow?" I say keeping a calm voice.
I have a skill named wealth, I would be able to pay them back their money in no time.
"350,000 pilgrims." The bald man said.
350,000 PILGRIMS!? EVEN WITH MY SKILL THAT WOULD BE HARD TO MAKE. ILL HAVE TO KILL A TOTAL OF 70,000 BEASTS!
"How about we negotiate?" I say in a cowardly tone.
The bald man pushes me against the wall of the alley making me cough out blood.
I never wanted to be forced to do this but it's my only choice right now.
"Ahh~"
I call this my "defense mechanism"
Noone wants to hit a guy when they're clearly gaining pleasure from it.
I used this technique alot during highschool.
It always works.
"This guy's enjoying this" The bald man said."We give you ten months to pay us back or the only thing you'll be enjoying is losing your neck."
They both walk away giving me a disgusted look.
Now, they gave me five months right? So I will have to kill a total of 7,000 beasts monthly.
Just how am I supposed to do that? Most of my stats are level 1 and I have absolutely no experience in killing beasts.
I think as I wipe the blood of my mouth.
Thinking about this is already giving me a headache, I should probably go home.
***
The quickest way to get access to beast is joining a guild, but of course no big guild is willing to take a minor extra in.
I think of the system.

My class is still a minor extra because I've not yet 'revealed' my new class.
In this world where there are heroes and villains it would definitely be too easy if every one knew each other's class, so that's why they created a way whereby you can 'reveal' your class to someone.
During middle school I was forced to reveal my class by my classmates. It was sort of a dare, and that dare ruined my life.
Now that I have a new class as an antagonist, I have still not revealed it so people still believe I'm an extra.
.
There are alot of potential guilds that will take someone of my class but one caught my attention.
Arc guild.
Its the protagonists guild and one of the most popular guilds in the world having over 23,000 members. The only complication about the arc guild is that one has to reveal their class to avoid villains from joining- most guilds don't require you to reveal your class
It might be risky joining the protatonists guild as the antagonist but because of the amount of members it has I'll probably not even be noticed.
It would also let me keep an eye on him.
Now that I'm thinking about it there must be away to change my class.
"..System?"
The system turns black again.
[What? Haven't I told you to stop calling me? And for your information I'm not a system but an assisted.]
Ah it's grump as ever.
"Is it possible to hide or change my class?"
[No, you can not necessarily change your class but you can mask your class with another after making a small transaction.]
"Really!? How much!?"
[70 pilgrims.]
"Ma must have some cash in her room"
I think to myself.
I quickly run back to my mothers room. The room still smelled rotten with some of my mothers blood splattered on the floor.
It was a gut wrenching sight.
I removed the gray duvet and raised the mattress of the bed.
Under the duvet there was a brown wooden box. This was the box which my mother normally kept her savings.
I opened the wooden box.
"30..45…60..75!"
There was 75 pilgrims in the box which was more than enough- accompanied by some spare change.
"So how do I pay?"
[Insert it in the slot.]
A slot appeared on the black system.
I individually placed each note in the slot.
My mind kept wandering to my mother as I inserted the notes. If she had this much money couldn't she have paid a section of her debt.
[What would you like to mask your class as?]
This is a very important question. The class I choose determines how I'm treated in the guild.
After long consideration I choose…
Minor hero
It wouldn't attract much attention and it would also allow me to have a high standing in the guild- among extras.
"I choose the minor hero class."
[…]
[Are you sure? You will have to make another purchase to buy another class mask.]
"Yes I am."
[…Alright.]
The system turns blue once again. Did it work? It doesn't seem like anything has changed.
I think of the system once again.

My class changed from Minor Extra to Minor Hero. How funny knowing my real class is Antagonist.
I get up leaving the room.
Nail seemed to have been waiting for me at the door of the room.
It must really hate the smell.
I wear my white long sleeve button up shirt with a black tie. Black pants and a brown coat.
Anil following me from behind.
I open the front door later putting my hands in the pocket of the coat.
Well, It's time to start a new beginning.
