Activate exclusive skill hands of darkness ]
Anonymous..... just who this person, I wish I could text back but it never works let's see, what does it say... activate Exclusive Skill Hands of darkness
Five minutes were remaining and more than 7 people had already been killed, the girl who was with the cat was incredibly skilled that she made fighting look simple. I quickly read the text in my head and i didn't know what to do next
[ Skill activation requirements a small sacrifice ]
A sacrifice eehh...I just need something easy to Something easy to kill... something.....easy ....to kill, anything I just need to kill it, time is running out.
Lucky the skill activation was easy but the sacrifice part was a little complicated because I didn't have anything to sacrifice and because of our situation I couldn't think straight
Wasn't there a girl with a cat on this bus and where is it now, if I find it it will be my sacrifice
Before I could even start looking around the cat came walking to me covered in blood and it was a perfect opportunity for me you could say it was the cruelty if fate
" I guess luck only smiled on me today, how unfortunate for you but this where you road ends. I hope your owner will forgive for this "
The cat standing in front of me meowed as If I were going to help it. I lifted the cat up and snapped it's neck
When the cat was dying an option to mark my targets appeared in front of me and I marked up to 4 guys and for my final pick pajama man was my next target so I selected him
[ The fifth Individual selected is under the protection of an other worldly being the system will automatically mark a individual who fits the requirements ]
I didn't want to read too much into the situation all I wanted was to survive so that I could go back home to check on my little sister
With one minute remaining there was total chaos and the most violent scene I had ever seen people killing each other like animals there was blood everywhere. Only 10 people were remaining and I took a deep breath
" Alright now everything is riding on this, I hope it works. Here goes nothing "
[ Your sacrifice was accepted by the darkness ]
[ The exclusive skill hands of darkness, has been activated ]
The exact moment the skill activated everything turned dark it was like I was transported to another world and so did my five targets and they all just stood where there were without moving
Then these dark shadowly hands started coming from the ground everyone I marked as a target started slowly getting crushed I could hear the sound of their bones getting crushed which was a scary scene to see
[ All conditions required are met ]
[ Event cleared ]
[ You have received 700 coins ]
[ Congratulations you have acquired a new skill ]
[ Mysterious beings have taken note of your presence ]
After the merciless scene I witnessed, I cleared the all the requirements and when I was in the dark place what really happened back in reality was that five guys had their heads reaped off and the cause was unknown and the time was up I witnessed both at the same time
I'm not the type to get excited when something happens but I was glad that everything worked out but i decided to not let it show since 5 of us survived including Rin, the pajamas man, the girl with cat and a boy who looked a teenager he was wear a black highschool uniform.
Everyone was quiet as they were checking their event windows and rewards. After I finished checking through mine I found all of them looking at me
" I'll just be blunt how the hell are you two still alive "
" I know how... this guy murdered my cat and now it's his turn to die "
The pajama man, the highschool kid were unfazed and the cat girl was furious she was ready to kill me right there and I noticed that Rin was still shaken from what happened I moved forward answered
" What are you talking about you murdered innocent people just to save your own skin and I'm the bad guy for choosing the least terrible option "
After what I said the cat girl backed down and kept quiet but she was still gazing at me like piercing daggers
" That's absurd, so your girlfriend already had the coins isn't that lovely " the pajama man said in a serious tone
He clearly had a grudge against me and he looked scary covered in blood, his blue pajamas even changed colors to red from all the blood. He started walking slowly towards us
Lucky started Gui started to materialize between us and everyone quickly moved back out of fear but I stood there and watch
" What a show, Impressive.... quite impressive indeed....you know for a bunch of dumb ass losers that was really good "
The sudden reappearance of Gui made everyone tense and uncomfortable not to mention his aura was suffocating
" Hey Gui, can I go home now "
I need to go home and make sure that my sister is alright, I'll have to check the university some other day
" Huh so you not afraid if me, tell me idiot why do you want to go home and not listen to what I have say " Gui asked me
I stayed silent with serious look on my face, everyone else was shocked by my boldness and Gui looked excited by how things were unfolding
" alright you can go now... but you should expect that we'll meet soon "
" Cool see you "
I really didn't care what he had to say I just wanted to get home to my sister, so I put my hands in my pockets and got off the bus
Everyone remaining in the bus were quiet and they all started walking towards the exit
" Who said you can leave idiots.... Because I clearly didn't " Gui said with a serious look in his eyes
" But you let that guy leave. do you intend to kill us all instead? " The highschool kid asked
" I just did you a favor anyways you can go now but try to not to die outside "
A few minutes had passed and I had already walked a long distance since I was in a hurry, the streets were empty and quiet, glasses broken everywhere
I looked in a mirror to see my reflection and I was surprised by how emotionless my eyes had become my short black hair made me look bland.
I guess that's what happens when you spend years looking at a screen and not properly taking care of yourself
A few seconds of looking at the glass my reflection faded away and a distorted fox mask appeared in place of it. The image completely made out the girl I saw in my dream and she was right behind me
I Guess she's real and not someone I completely made up
" Hey what do you want with me " I asked but was ignored
After waiting for answer and she she not respond I turned back to face but no one was there, I tried looking back at the glass but all I could see was my appearance but then something tapped on shoulder
I turned back and it was Rin, honestly she took me by surprise because I wasn't expecting her at all
" Hey, what brings you here "
" Well I wanted to thank you for looking out for me, I really was scared and freaked out and it's still going through my mind "
" That's all, well you didn't have to bother, to be honest I just did that for myself anyways so no worries "
" Whatever reason I'm really grateful, so thank you " she said with her cute voice as she bowed
I gave her the okay and started walking because I was still in a hurry, she followed me because she has a lot of questions which was really obvious because of the face she made
" So hey what's your name " she asked with a smile
" Call me Rick and why are you following me "
" How rude I'm not following you, I'm also going the same direction and by the way how do you know my name "
I knew she would eventually ask and I was prepared. I knew if keep a calm face and tell a simple lie she's bound to believe me
" Wait what that was name, I'm surprised I just said what on my mind and you answered "
Her face beamed with curiosity and she blushed while looking away. Fortunately the road split in three ways and I wanted walk alone so I took the chance
" So which are you going Rin " I asked and she looked disappointed
" In the road on the left, are we not going the same way? " She asked with a hopefully expression
" Unfortunately no well see you " I said as walked while walking away
I'm surprised she came to thank me and I wasn't lying when I said I helped her for myself, I only let her stand behind me because I wanted her to backstab me so that I could clear the event I'm not that good of a person
