"My health is in the red…" Freya warned as she leapt away from the monster, turning to Bob and letting out a sigh, "If you do not finish off the monster in one hit, then I will have to deal with it m—"
Bob dashed forward at a fast speed, using the boost from Freya's [Boss Enhancement] for [I Just Glitched] and [The Developer Forgot This Error]. Freya watched Bob vanish one moment, and in the next, his flame serpent fangs were buried into the giants chest.
The beast roared madly and Bob reacted with a fierce burst, slashing the monster continuously until the effects of [Bleed] and [Burn] stacked to the maximum! Soon, the giant staggered back and Bob closed in, dashing forward and thrusting his blade with all his might.
"You did well, Freya." Bob praised as the giant fell to the ground, wiping the sweat from his brow and waiting for the system notifications, "If they do not arrive in time, then I'll finish it off with Light Bo— Hehe. Never stood a chance."

"Only two level ups?" Freya eyed Bob's stats, one hand on her chin and the other still gripped on her dagger. It was only after Bob put away his flame serpent fangs, that Freya loosened her grasp, "I am low on health now… aren't you going to kill me? I would understand, since—"
"What? If there is one type of person I would hate to become and that is a traitor." Bob lowered his gaze to her knuckles, and they dripped with blood. He sighed seeing the whites of her bone and clicked his tongue, 'She might be low on health, but I am even worse.'
"Bob, didn't Leslie say she'd come pick us up when we get to Area Nine?" Freya turned to Bob, then froze seeing him grab her hand and inspecting it with a sharp gaze. She tugged her arm from his grasp, "Are you a healer? Don't go around touching people's arms."
"She did say that. No, I am not a healer." Bob frowned as he stared at her hand one more time, then shook his head and turned his gaze away, but the image of the room Freya had taken him to flashed in his mind, "Don't worry, I just got a little bit too curious."
"I won't repeat myself." Freya sat down on the ground, watching the giant's carcass, and frowning with a raised brow, "It has been minutes, yet the giant's carcass hasn't vanished yet. It there anything else we might be missing here?"
Bob was engrossed in purchasing stuff from the shop, so he did not bother listening in to Freya's thoughts. Using a total of 4580 out of the 25, 000 he'd gotten from the wealthy giant — Haha — Bob bought numerous health items, seven daggers, undergarments and the hero armour set!
⦗Inventory 32/32⦘
Bob stared at his full inventory, then he turned to Freya who was dozing off. He wanted to keep her awake, but seeing her wound healing process slowly begin as she closed her eyes, Bob decided to let her rest, "But, I need to change out of these tattered robes and quickly!"
'I am rich now, and it is only right I dress like a rich hero, but first— Hehe.' Bob brought out the seven daggers from his inventory, and he stared down upon them like predator to prey, reaching to them and using his developer's hax, 'I need to make them even stronger!'
——
In online mmorpgs, only the scummiest of the scummiest cheated their way to the top, abusing the systems set in place for their own benefits. Sadly for the systems of this world, Bob saw no one else acting as a player, and he believed he could cheat as he wished!
Cheat as he… wished?

—What the fuck! Bob flipped the giant's body into the air, slammed his head into a wall, and then pulled his hair, 'No! I am a mature, responsible adult. I am not supposed to get mad. After this wasn't as painful as not getting rare pulls in a microtransactions ridden game after spending life savings.'
Bob calmed himself, and the veins popped on his head lessened, "There are still three daggers in my possession. If nothing works, then I might have to reevaluate my opinion on how useful my haxs are for items compared to my minions."

"I can only control a maximum of twelve blades at once, that is for now, but the higher I get my mind value, the more blades I will be able to control at a time!" As Freya slept off, Bob took off to a corner out of her eyes reach to change out of his tattered clothes.
As he brought out the undergarments from his inventory and stared upon its ragged glory, Bob felt a sigh escape his lips, but he equipped it anyway. As the clothe appeared on his body — an eerie fit — Bob patted dust off the golden material, "It looks quite nice, I guess."
Bob equipped the [Destine Hero Set] over the golden Sol's Undergarments. The hero's armour was black in colour, accented with grey runic markings, "High quality armour, and undergarments, I have everything befitting of who I strive I be in this new world — the most famous hero! Haha!"
