Chapter 6
I was out of cards. I was being expelled for failing my classes. I banged the dean's wife was a reason that the dean couldn't afford to let out.
Of course, that also meant that I would have to remain quiet about it as well. The reason was simple. If I were to reveal the real reason, the real reason for my fallout would also be revealed and a simple urine test would reveal the amount of drugs I had done.
My family was bound to find out and given the nature of my father, I wasn't going to risk that. Not to mention I couldn't imagine how disappointed my mom would be.
That only left me with one option. Keep shut about it and let the nature take its course. As far as everyone knew, I was expelled because of my low grades, and I was quite happy to keep it that way. The disappointment from my family would be much less that way.
If the fact that I was a druggie came to light, let's just say that I wasn't in a condition to be disowned at the moment. I had nothing to my name. Even my bank account actually belonged to my father and he could freeze it at any time.
And once again, it was Murim where I could walk up to a bank and rob it in broad daylight and all I would have to receive was a 'Please don't kill me.'
So here I was, ready to move back home. Actually, I wanted to make a quick stop on the way to the countryside and kill a few cattle to raise my level as much as I could. Countryside farms had very little surveillance so even if a few cattle went missing, the investigations wouldn't be a top priority.
My family must have been informed of my situation by now so I couldn't take too much time.

I entered the town of Serta, on the east coast side, and rented a room in a motel. I couldn't risk parking my car in this place where there was no security but a car was the least of my concerns.
It took some time to get used to it but it didn't take long for my muscle memory to know how to drive and I was steady in an hour, driving on the highway without much problem and it wasn't a problem indeed with my current stats that were almost twice as strong than an optimal human male.
I parked the car in the small parking where the most expensive thing than my car was a scooter. I shook my head and entered the inn. I made sure to check the town and saw two farms in the entire town.
My car drew a lot of attention in a small town like this. Young, dumb, and full of cum. Of course, I had to ask for a sports car on my eighteenth birthday. I was more into getting chicks and less worried about leaving traces behind. I didn't care how conspicuous this car made me back then but I was realizing that stupidity full well at the moment.
But like I said, the car was the least of my worries right now. This town had like ten policemen at most, including the sheriff. And the current estimated population of this town meant that one of them might keep an eye on me due to my car since I was sure I had caught their attention for sure.
So the cattle of the town went missing while I was in town was for sure grounds for suspicion. And in this town, I doubted there was a judge so if I was arrested, I wasn't getting out before Monday.
It meant that I needed to bail as soon as I finished my task. And I also couldn't repeat the same at another town on the way because that would be a hell of a coincidence.
And it might not remain a coincidence anymore. If I was arrested, and somehow the cops got the test out of me before my lawyer could get to me, I would be set for life, in jail.
I rented a room for the night and made my way to it. I locked the door and scouted my surroundings. I didn't see anyone keeping an eye on me so I was a little relieved.
I still waited just to be sure and after four hours, when it was midnight, I came out of my room via the window, dressed in a simple hoodie and black pants, that covered me entirely and also gave me some cover in the night.
This town had two farms. And I had to raid both of them. The good news was that I didn't shadow arts to sneak around because no one had Ki here to detect my presence.

The most embarrassing moment in my life?
There were many of them, almost hundreds of them. But if I had to pick one, the most embarrassing one of them all, then it would surely be the prostitute incident.
It was just after I had finished the main quest and I was celebrating. I didn't know that the Murim alliance was targeting me. I was just celebrating at a courtesan house, enjoying myself with various beauties.
I had lent the entire house just for my pleasure. I was a machine that didn't stop even after hours of work and the only one to keep up with me for all that time was the madam of the house. All other prostitutes were lying throughout the house with satisfied expressions and red pussies.
But the madam of the house didn't give in even after ten turns. So I made it a matter of my pride. I fucked her extra hard, to the point that even I was starting to feel a little tired but obviously, I was the one to win and she fell just like the rest.
But I wasn't done. I needed more. I was happy after all. Or maybe I was distracting myself because I couldn't go home. I don't really remember because it was almost nine centuries ago.
What I do know was that the madam wasn't so out of it that she couldn't see my plight. She hurriedly arranged another prostitute for me and said that more would be coming while I was doing this one and limped out of the room to arrange for more.
I ignored her and focused on the fresh meat and inched closer to her. But before we could begin, she offered me a drink which I gladly accepted.
And then we had sex. For an hour almost until she was out of it and I was starting to feel a little sluggish.
It was then that I realized that I wasn't sluggish because I had been having sex the whole night. It was because I was poisoned. As my condition got worse, hundreds of men draped in white robes rushed inside the courtesan house and surrounded me.
I still remember the words the captain of that unit had used to taunt me.
"The one who couldn't be brought down by millions was brought down by a whore." I still remember those words clearly because those words were humiliating.
It was true that I was an entity that the entire Murim feared and I was almost defeated by the Murim alliance, the joke of that world, because of a hooker.
That was the most humiliating moment of my life. So much so that I didn't make the same mistake again but I didn't forget that moment for the rest of my life as well.
It wasn't a learning moment; it was outright humiliating.
However, today, I finally pushed that day to the second most humiliating day of my life. Today, a new one took its place. A humiliation that I, the uncrowned overlord of the Murim, would have never thought of doing even when my survival was concerned.
[You have killed a chicken]
[Level: 1(3%)]
I wanted to make a hole and fill it with a drop of water. Then drown myself in that hole because I would have never ever thought that I would be one day killing chickens while evading surveillance from people.
If that wasn't humiliating, I didn't know what was. And the fact that I had to catch these chickens made it even worse.
Fuck.
It took me an hour just to kill the chickens on the farm. Of course, I made sure to bury them so they weren't discovered so soon. I also made sure there was no blood left behind.
And finally, after all the chickens on the farm had died, I finally heard that ding that I wasn't least bit happy to hear.
[Ding]
[You have leveled up]
[Level: 2(1%)]
[You have received 3 APs]
Haa… I sighed. Again.
I opened my status despite the feeling of humiliation because, in the end, survival took priority like always.

With this, the daily release has begun. There might be one chapter a day or two.
As for comments, well, I don't see any, now do I?
