I hopped down the stairs of the motel while humming, and on getting to the receptionist counter, I waved at her and was about to leave.
"Sir!... I see you don't have a spare cloth, but we could help you with that" the girl behind the counter spoke, noticing my stained clothes
"Ooh... I'd love that" I said with a smile.
"What's your style sir?" She asked while beaming a smile.
"Uhmm... I'd like something similar to what drug lords normally wear in this era" I replied plainly.
She stared at me with a frozen smile for a while before muttering "Okay...". And running into a door behind the counter.
Ten minutes later, a boy wearing a neat black tuxedo with shiny polished shoes walked out from a motel. He held a black staff which had gold embroidery all over, with two gold rings adorned on his index and pinky finger in both hands. He wore a black hat which was tilted to a side as to show off his white neatly trimmed hair, and a black earing was hooked to his right ear.
I was looking 'DOPE'.
The girl didn't disappoint and brought what I really had in mind. Though what I was wearing cost me two white coins with four black ones, I didn't really care... I flagged down a neat carriage and stepped into it with the feeling of a mafia boss.
As the carriage took off in the direction of the city gate, I gazed at the scenery of the city through the carriage window and concluded that I was in the 'slums', because the streets were littered with trash and the passerby's were all looking dirty and ragged.
The carriage got to the city gate in no time and I had to step down to continue my journey on foot after paying one black coin. I walked on the dirt path majestically with a poker face, and as I took another step forward, the scenery before me suddenly changed and I saw hundreds of people staring at me like I was a new specie of human.
Whoever was responsible for the illusion... Is damn OP.
I stared back at the hundreds of people unfazed. This was normally the looks I got when I wore earrings to church. I walked forward, not sparing anyone a glance and as I approached the crowd, they broke into two... creating a part in the middle for me.
They were probably thinking that I was some OP player who had already gotten himself a political title in town.
I walked in the part made for me till the very end. And there I saw the 'dream' guy standing by the side of a girl in a shiny white dress, her skin was so smooth that I could feel it's softness from where I stood, and on looking at her face... I almost kowtowed her.
Almost.
I began to feel an oppressive aura coming from her, as beads of sweat trickled down my forehead.
I felt pressurized.
[Due to your title 'Heartless', you have resisted a passive skill]
On hearing the system, my jaws almost dropped. 'How could a passive skill be this good'.
"Seriously...?" I heard the 'dream' guy remark, with his lips curling upward.
He saw me this morning in dirty clothes sleeping in a cheap motel and now this...
"Am sorry, have we met before?" I asked with a slight smile, and without for a reply, I was about to walk up to the girl when ...
[Due to your title 'Heartless', you have resisted a soul attack]
I frowned deeply and looked up to the girl in white, who was staring back at me with a calm look, and then behind her where five people stood straight like bouncers.
[Due to your title 'Heartless', you have resisted a soul attack]
[Due to your title 'Heartless', you have resisted a soul attack]
I quickly pulled out my revolver from my tuxedo's inner pocket and pointed it in the direction of the girl in white.
*Bang*
*Thud*
Due to my increased agility, I pulled the gun so fast that before people could react, the body of a boy behind the girl in white fell to the floor.
And to be sincere, I didn't know who attacked me... I just shot on instinct.
*Gasps*
*Clack*
The crowd gasped in surprise, as they didn't understand why I shot someone, and what followed was the sounds of cocking guns, which came from all around. But before anyone could fire...
"Stop!!"
And instantly, the hundreds of players that were present all fell on their knees... Except one person.
Of course, I was on my knees too.
