Now I've got a new travel companion
and I'm definitely going to use this new companion to my advantage.
Maybe if I were the main character, one of those charming, kind, and lovable guys, I'd be nice to this girl.
But the real world is much harsher than that, and you can't afford to be kind to a stranger girl.
"Anna, honestly, I'm leaving here. Do you want to come with me?"
When I said this to Anna, she thought for a moment. I hope she agrees to travel with me because otherwise, to make the most of her, I'll have to kill her and loot her items.
I don't want to kill her, but if she reaches the city before I get to my destination, she might reveal my path to them.
As I was considering my options, Anna's voice caught my attention.
"Kevin, honestly, I don't remember where I came from or what I'm doing here, so I'd appreciate it if you let me come with you"
It's a bit suspicious that she doesn't remember anything, but she answered right away when I asked her name.
I need to keep an eye on her and not let my guard down.
Well, it looks like I don't have to kill her for now, but I might have to in the future.
So, I need to gather as much information as I can about her to have the upper hand if we ever become enemies.
As my father used to say
"Never trust anyone, not even your own reflection in the mirror."
(POV???)
On the second floor of a high school building, in the dark of night, a teenage boy with silver hair was sitting next to a pile of corpses covered in blood.
"Guys, be sure that I will never forget your sacrifice"
[The "Silent Devil" constellation looks at you with satisfaction]
[Constellation "Silent Devil" says cheerfully, congratulations, you have successfully completed the mission of killing everyone in this class]
That's right, I killed all my classmates so that I could complete the mission that this creature named Constellation had given to all members of our class.
This mission appeared to everyone in the class, but well, no one dared to do it
But I couldn't wait for the others to complete this mission and receive its reward
If I didn't kill them, eventually one of them would be tempted to get the reward and possibly kill me too.
So you can't blame me for killing them to have a better chance of survival
"Silent devil, give me my prize now"
[The "silent devil" constellation laughs loudly and says, you are very interesting, even though you just killed all your friends, you are not even a bit sad and regretful]
I said impatiently and in a rather rude tone
"Shut up, I only did what I had to do, now give me my reward"
[Constellation "Silent Devil", sent you an ability]
[Name: Aura of Death
Rank: A
Ability: You can control the aura of death]
[Constellation "Silent Devil" says, I will give you more missions soon]
Although I still don't know what the constellation is, I must try to complete every mission it gives me so that I can progress faster and become stronger.
Honestly, it seems that constellations are something like NPCs who give missions in the game
But for now, my only goal is to get to China. I need to meet my sister.
She has to help me get some of the things I need. After all, she was the best trader in the game
And I also need to find the location of "Mr. X," because, after all, I have to have a meeting with the guild leader I used to be the deputy of in the game.
(POV Kevin)
I finally made it. Umm, I think it should be somewhere around here. In that game, I found it by chance, but because I went there so often, I memorized its location.
I stepped off the road and every few steps, I stomped the ground hard.
"What are you doing?"
I looked at Anna, who was standing a few meters away, staring at me in surprise, and said, "Well, I'm looking for a hidden wooden door that's somewhere around here."
Anna asked curiously, "What's behind that hidden door?"
"You'll find out soon."
As I talked to Anna, I kept stomping the ground to find the door's location. Suddenly, it felt like my foot hit something wooden.
"Got it."
I kneeled and brushed the dirt away, revealing a small wooden door beneath the soil
I open the wooden door and see a deep hole with a ladder attached to its wall.
I turn to Anna and say,
"Alright, found it. Follow me."
Without waiting for a response, I climb down into the hole.
Of course, before going down, I dismissed my dog since he can't come down here. When we reach the bottom, I finally find the thing I was looking for.
A few moments later, Anna also reaches the bottom.
"What... is this?"
she asks in an astonished tone.
With a smile, I say
"This is a transfer gate, a direct transfer gate."
