Chapter 97 - Side Effect

[QUEST]

[KILL AT LEAST THREE HUMANS]

[QUEST NOT COMPLETED]

[EXP NOT GRANTED]

It was like Miller was no longer himself. He now hard the desire to kill. This was a really bad side effect. The Miller was no more. The only thing that was ringing inside Miller's head was kill. The System only gave him a Quest to do so. Just like his fight with Ethan, he could still stop, but Miller for some reason could not stop. He wanted to kill, this was not from the System. it was his Throsk'Bok personality kicking in.

Miller still hasn't seen a Throsk'Bok or know what there true nature is. The System always keeps him blank whenever he asks such a question.

The System only gave him a quest to kill at least three. But he felt like killing all of them.

Miller could remember vividly the day he arrived at school for the first time. The first person to bully him in this school was Jason Turner. Jason used Miller's face to hit the floor because Miller tried to challenge his authority.

Since that day, Miller had naturally hated Jason and again he hated him more because the girl of his dreams is somehow in love with this bastard.

Looking through all the bruised boys on the floor. Some of them barely moved, but Miller could hear their heartbeat clearly, he was using his Super hearing. He could hear even their lungs, the blood moving in Their veins. For Some reason, he felt like he should stop it. He wanted to kill them all.

But Who should he kill first? That thought entered his Mind. Looking at the boys he had just beaten, there was one of them that stood out. It was Jason Turner was Emily's boyfriend. Miller had seen this guy as his nemesis from the first day he entered this school. This guy was the first to bully him and his friend Watson and collect their money and as if collecting their money wasn't enough. This guy also used Miller's face to smash the floor.

Since that day, Miller has vowed that the day he gets Stronger, he would make Jason Turner pay and today was that very day.

He wanted to now kill Jason Turner and somehow the only sound he could hear was the sound of Jason Turner's heartbeat. Miller's body was ready to kill the boy, but his mind wasn't willing.

This was because, despite being a Throsk'Bok, his mind still retained some aspects of humanity or what's left of it. He could still remember some of his moral code. But right now fear gripped his entire body, he wanted to Kill Jason Turner. For Some unknown reason, he was scared of not killing Jason Turner.

Miller was now moving slowly. With every inch, he was trying to fight his own self. He was trying to stop his body from moving, he could not. And finally when he was in front of Jason Turner. The desire to kill him was now overwhelming.

Jason Turner was on the floor with his face bruised. He was extremely weak, but not weak enough to see the person in front of him; Miller. The person had kills in his eyes. Jason Turner looked at Miller's eyes and for some reason, he got more scared of Miller and called him a Monster inside his head; scared to shout it out.

This was because Miller's eyes had turned to completely red, it was like his eye balls were made of blood, This was unknown to Miller.

Inside Miller's Head. A voice could be heard:

"Miller, please stop. it's the side effect of being a Throsk'Bok, Miller....." The System could no longer communicate with Miller.

These words appeared at his retina:

[KILLER MODE ACTIVATED]

These words appeared in red. His entire Vision had turned red except for his target who was Green. His target was Jason Turner.

WHEEZE!

Jason was now finding it hard to breath. Miller was now using his two arms to press the boys neck. It was like Miller was no longer himself.

Miller could not hear anything, he could only hear the sound of Jason's heartbeat and he wanted the heartbeat and for some reason, he wanted it to stop.

But even if he had entered Killer mode unconsciously. There was one thing, A THROSK'BOK would Still recognize. That was if there name was called.

"MILLER"

The sound of his name had pierced his ears. For some reason even if he could not hear anything else than Jason's Heartbeat. The sound of his name had drawn him back.

[KILLER MODE DEACTIVATED]

[KILLER MODE DEACTIVATED SUCCESSFULLY]

For a second, he became himself after hearing his name.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING" The voice continued, it was the voice of Watson.

After hearing his name, he gained control of his body and the remaining words brought him to realization. His sight was no longer red, but was now clear and he looked at the person he was pressing and he immediately stopped.

If Miller had pressed further, he would have killed Jason Turner. From Watson's perspective, it was like Miller was trying to Kill him out of jealousy. But In reality, Miller just had the desire to kill.

The question was: If Watson had not called his name. Would he have killed Jason? And if so Would he have killed everyone here? And would he know who Watson's was.

Because for some reason, after he got the notification:

[KILLER MODE ACTIVATED]

He could not see clearly, it was like he could only see people's auras, which were in green, the entire background looked red. It was like some kind of animal vision.

"What was i doing" Miller said in surprise. He shifted Immediately from Jason, scared that he might hurt him further.

"No. No. No". Miller complained as he looked at Watson: "What did i do?".

Watson for some reason felt like Miller might be possessed. Watson stood on his two feet and was shifting backwards.

"You don't have to get scared of me. I am still Miller" Miller said as he moved slowly.

"No, you are not Human" Watson said.

Miller was surprised. Had Watson found out what he had become? did Watson already know that he was a Throsk'Bok?

At his retina, these message appeared:

[QUEST]

[KEEP THIS SECRET FROM WATSON UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS SATISFIED THAT WATSON CAN BE TRUSTED WITH THAT INFORMATION]

[QUEST COMPLETED]

[QUEST REWARD]

[EXP: 1000]

[QUEST REWARD GRANTED]

[EXP: 1050/12800]

At this moment, Miller wasn't concerned about this experience points. He did not want to lose his best friend. Watson was still moving backwards step by step scared to turn his back to run that Miller might attack him.

Miller on the other hand, was moving forward slowly and trying his best to stop Watson from feeling scared.

The green words started flickered at his retina means according to the System, Watson could now be trusted. But Miller knew that Watson would not understand what he is going through.

Still moving forward, Miller now felt like this System in his brain was more than a Curse than a Blessing and at this very moment. He wanted to become Human. Maybe this System was meant for an Amargan on Planet Citarada and he had accidentally attached himself to it by accident..That was his biggest mistake, thinking it was a blessing and with anger he shouted in his Head:

"System!"

"System!"

"System!"

The System did not answer him until he called two more times:

"System!"

"System!"

"What is it" The System replied with anger.

"I want you to Leave My head..." Miller said inside his head firmly.
