It may have been just an illusion of Ava's but that was exactly what she felt at this moment. Calm and security like no other.

"Your name is Jason, yes? Of the Steffan Family?" Daniel made a sound for the first time since this whole debacle started.

​​

His face held no fear or alarm whatsoever but instead only showcased an amused smile towards the 7 boys that moved in a threatening manner closer to his own personal space.

"So what?!" Jason asked as if the mere sound of Daniel's words offended him. Who in the entire city of Huton would not know of his respected family.

They were prominent enough to be visited by senators and even presidents on rare occasions. The Steffan Family was indeed one of note in this metropolis.

"I see. So that's why. I was wondering where you got that stinking attitude from. No wonder you belong to the Steffans."

Daniel chuckled after his words which provoked the already bad temper of the boy before him.

"Beat him like a dog." Jason commanded in a harsh voice.

"As you command, master!" the 6 goons replied in a booming voice.

They walked quickly and had planned to tackle Daniel down as per their experience in this kind of nasty business.

A fallen man who can't anymore use his legs to run or dodge was as good as dead and over.

"Tell me something. If I pull on this thing, will the lot of you fall or swim?" Daniel pulled out a gun which stopped the advance of the gang in full.

They saw their own death down the barrel of this lethal weapon and they were soon to regret this offense for the rest of their time in hell.

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

.

..

...

Seven bullets struck home and they reported their hits at the center of the targets' foreheads. They died unbelieving that today would end out as their last day in this world.

Everything just happened too fast.

"DANIEL!" Ava screamed as she could not believe that her perfect boyfriend would do this unforeseen slaughter from out of the blue.

In this case, she was correct in her assumptions also. One should know that the moment Daniel reached for his weapon, a new soul has already gobbled up his mortal essence.

It did not need telling that our bored gamer has truly descended on this alien world in the aftermath. Clark would of course not do this for no reason at all.

It was all because of a quest that he received just after his soul descent.

"DING!"

"Go inside a prison and there you will get your system cheat, host." Nancy informed with that sweet voice of hers.

In the end, our good gamer could only attempt to fulfill this task with the most direct of manners. He killed 7 young boys who loved to rape and torture their victims.

Though not one of them has murdered their prey but Clark judged them all the same and sent them to the embrace of the Reaper at once.

"I'm sorry, Ava." Our avid gamer had these last words to say to his girlfriend and began walking towards the nearest police station.

He knew that he would get captured before getting far but that was also what he intended in the first place.

"Another world. Another cheat." Clark grinned and was excited to complete this quest as soon as possible.

* * *

"Put your hands in the air!"

"Face down on the ground!" Before long, 3 cop cars cornered our very own protagonist in his lonesome.

He got processed inside a police station where he got interrogated without an attorney present nearby. Not that Clark wanted one in the first place.

He pleaded guilty on all charges and the next thing that happened was pretty much elementary. Our bored gamer kissed the cold prison bars before midnight struck in the end.

And it was there that he got his promised system cheat.

"DING!"

"Congratulations, host! You have received a new system!"

"Please check your character status for more details." Nancy announced and our bored gamer did just that.

He tinkered with his system for a few minutes and asked the most important thing in the following second.

"Are there other worlds that I need to conquer than just this mortal realm alone, Nancy?" Clark said towards his handy system.

The new cheat that he got was too overkill for such a tiny mortal plane.

"Negative, host. This world will be enough. But there is an additional quest though."

"You need to conquer this world through the use of peaceful means and none other."

"Violent methods will be judged as a failure to your quest."

"Good luck, host! I have absolute confidence in you."

Nancy delivered the restriction that was imposed by the heavenly treasure clay brick and this strange requirement stupefied our bored gamer for a time.

"FUCK ME! You are getting weirder and weirder, partner." Clark complained but there was a big smile on his face right now.

Since there was no point in scolding something more powerful than he was, our bored gamer moved on from this useless component.

He has instead chosen to verify something from Nancy in the next breath.

"If I act in self defense, can I then apply a harsher approach to guarantee my safety, Nancy?" Our avid gamer asked towards his system.

"Affirmative, host." Nancy replied promptly.

"Very well then. I guess I could make do with this slight leeway." Clark sighed and began planning for tomorrow's schedule.

He needed to reach his connections and owe some favors to many people but that would be considered nothing at all to the service that he could offer in return.

One should know that Daniel lived a very adventurous lifestyle. He was an old loser in the day but in truth, his full time job was really a paid assassin.

He got priceless cards he could use to blackmail some aid out of this prison cell and he reckoned that it would have to be more than enough for what he wanted.

"If all else fails, I could always punch my way out of this cage." Clark muttered and then closed his eyes for the first time since he arrived in this alien world.
