While sipping his tea in the woman's apartment, Deimos pondered his newfound skill.
Despite some reservations about its name, he couldn't deny its usefulness—it would make stealing Ryzel a lot easier, especially if he trusted his instincts.
"Before I go Ryzel, I wanted to let you know something."
"Yes Deimos, what is it?"
"It's just that I have a doubt about who might be behind this incident,"
"WHO!?" Ryzel shouted.
She was sitting next to him and startled him with a shout that he spilled his tea all over his shirt.
"Oh, I am so sorry. Quickly take off your shirt; let me bring a pack of ice."
She hurried to the kitchen, where she quickly grabbed a bag of ice from the fridge. When she got back to Deimos, she couldn't help but notice his chiseled physique now on display without his shirt.
[Machoness activated]
As she applied the ice pack to Deimos' chest, Ryzel couldn't help but admire his toned abs, ripped muscles, and handsome face. Her heart began to flutter, and she found herself feeling drawn to him
"Le-let me bring you my husband's t-shirt. You can wear that."
She hurried off to her room; her movements caused her hips to sway, capturing Deimos's attention.
"It might be a little oversized for you, but you can wear it for the time being. I will wash your shirt, and you can come and take that tomorrow."
She returned with an oversized black t-shirt and gave it to Deimos.
He put it on quickly.
"Thank you, Ryzel."
"About that doubt, who do you think it could be?" She tried to change the topic.
"If I am not wrong, then I think that her girlfriend Yasmine was cheating on him behind his back. I think it might have been her other boyfriend, who might have done it out of jealousy.
"I am not sure, but I can find out more about it."
"Do you know who he is and where he is right now?"
"Give me some time, and I will have that information available."
"Here, have my number, and let me know when you find out more information. I will come to help you."
"But your husband?"
"Don't worry about him; I won't let him know what we're doing."
Before leaving Ryzel's place, Deimos made sure to save her contact information.
As he rode down in the elevator, a cunning plan to achieve two goals at once developed in his mind and a sadistic smile spread across his lips.
Yasmine's phone was a treasure trove of information that he used to his advantage.
He learned the name of her boyfriend and saw pictures of her with her friends. With this in mind, he started crafting a story to employ in his plan to trick Ryzel.
Deimos didn't mind spending 80 quesos on traveling back and forth because he was earning more by killing newbies in the leveling zone.
However, he had overlooked the fact that his main quest from Lucifer was still in progress, despite his efforts to kill numerous newbies.
Is it because of the side quest too? Do I have to complete it all together now, or should I kill some more and spread some fear?" He ponders.
I think I should kill some more and get to the next level. It will be easy for me if I face Ryzel's husband,"
Deimos headed towards the newbie zone with a sense of purpose, determined to level up and complete his quests.
After hours of intense killing, he finally accomplished his goal.
Not only did he gain enough experience points to level up, but he also completed his first quest from Lucifer, feeling a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

"Hmm... So after killing more newbies, I am still some exp far away from level 5. I didn't get any stat points; it seems earning stat points is difficult.
"I should save them and use them when it is necessary."
"Oye system, where is the mystery box?"
[Just think of it]
Deimos thought about the mystery box, and in a moment of intense focus, the box suddenly materialized in his hand, seemingly out of thin air.
As he held it, the box sprang open on its own, emanating a brilliant golden glow that illuminated his entire apartment.
Within moments, a weird eyeball materialized before him, hovering in mid-air.
