Requiem Of A Failed Hero

Chapter 361 A New Beginning

The atmosphere was shrouded with a dark blue flood, while it looked like the sky was at its darkest. It was also like the sea was looming above this land.

Beneath this anomaly, were two men. One was walking, the other crawling.

The one walking had dry, dark skin, his eyes were dark and gleamed eerily with a malicious sobriety, his look was distant, they spared no mercy to the man who crawled away from him.

The distinguishing feature of this man apart from his dark skin was his pointed ears and his height. He wore a black cloak that somehow mystified his presence, they were also ragged.

A long silver blade glinting and softly whistling against the wind was held by his right hand.

He slowly walked closer to the man who tried to get away from him. That one had a large tail that danced about as he desperately tried to get away.

He had wolf ears on his brown hair and his claws scratched the stoney ground as he persistently continued to crawl leaving a horrific trail of blood behind him. His side was cut open, his bowels almost spilling out, he was more or less dead and yet he still desired to live. Strongly.

The man stabbed the sword into his leg, his movement was so swift you couldn't even see when he moved his hand or got close to the crawling man.

He twisted the sword, shrinking blood out of the man's leg.

He then paused, looking down before his eyes. His eyes widened immediately.

"Ah... ah... finally, another one has appeared" A wide grin formed on his face as he spoke, excitement tinged with his powerful voice.

He looked to the sky of sea and closed his eyes in a perverted satisfaction. Then his expression returned to normal a second later and he looked down on the beastman he had stabbed to the ground.

"I have found another prey. It was fun while it lasted with you Era'el. After receiving a god-tier class, I thought you at least would be able to end this suffering of me. But nah, you are nothing but a coward yourself. Be gone, you vermin"

The beastman's scream plunged high as the man's sword wrenched his his organ producing a sickening sound as he twisted and plunged the sword deeper into the beastman's back.

[DUE TO THE SIN OF GREED ALL EXPERIENCES GAINED FROM KILLS WILL BE CONSUMED]

"Hey hey hey hey"

Raith wasn't sure but it looked like something good had happened but before he could count his blessings something bad had occurred to him again.

"What is this? Sage, please say something"

[...]

[What makes players special is their ability to level up]

[But it seems you have been robbed of that very unique concept by GREED]

[You are unable to level up]

[You are forever stuck on level 1 as long as GREED will continue to consume your experience points needed to level up]

"Ah!"

Raith ground his teeth, evidently angry. He clenched his fist. It was one good thing then a bad thing. One good thing and a bad thing over and over again.

He gets something good and then a very bad thing happens to him again.

The monk still lingered afar as the malefic black and red aura still hovered around Raith.

"What is now going to happen? What is the point of everything that just happened?"

[Well, you wouldn't know until you move]

[Let me show you]

A flood of information flooded into Raith's head, and his eyes darted around. Was this what it meant to become a player? Exactly how he was with the abyss, everything had been returned to the way it was with the abyss.

"Hey? Are you sure this isn't the abyss playing some games?"

[No, the Voice Of The World has permitted me to oversee your player profile]

Raith arched a brow and looked down, inspecting his status closer.

"Why?"

[Because of the error. Because of the sin of GREED the voice cannot have a direct influence on you it could be detrimental to it]

Raith covered his face with his hand, washing it down with a heavy sigh.

"Sage, I don't know if I should feel happy or feel very sad. Is accumulating with the sin of greed the best thing that could have happened to me or the worst?"

[For now, I can't say...]

"Ah..."

[But first we have to take care of that... and you have more Skills now, you are stronger than you were a few minutes ago]

Raith wasn't sure how to take this but without his consent, a shocking smile crept to his lips. Beads of sweat gathered on his forehead, mixing with his clotted blood.

He relaxed his hand and twirled it to free his shoulders of the stiffness and pain that had gathered there. It did little work but that was enough for him to regain a little ease of locomotion.

He began walking, a violent red and blue aura spilling fury all around with each step he took. His left eyes subtly reverted color to red while his right eyes kept their deep blackness. Both eyes glowed and sparked with lightning streaks.

"The game is about to change pal"
