Yuki now donned her new armor set, which had patchwork leather of varying colors from deep browns to greys, even some yellows, but the overall defense was very good. Compared to her previous equipment, her new armor gave an overall 20 to defense. Its base defense was only 15, but with the special effect on defense, it added an additional 5 defense.

[Defence]: 4 → 20

Her new weapon was also much better than her training sword boosting her attack from 15 to 22.

[Attack Power]: 15 → 22

Yuki now felt more assured when going out to fight monsters. Yuki had no idea for someone her level that her new armor was considered OP (Over Powered). But none of that mattered to Yuki right now since her mind was preoccupied with something else entirely. "Where or how do I find quests… Ugh… I spent all my time worrying about how to make money that I never really took the time to read up on how to tell if someone has a quest for you or not..."

Sighing, Yuki could only decide to go out and farm since she only had a few hours left. As it was Yuki's first time fighting actual monsters, she was somewhat excited. She wondered how much of her self made martial arts would be useful in fighting monsters. When she got to the clearing, there were still a lot of people killing monsters. Luckily the spawn rate was fast, so Yuki did not need to wait long before her first target was in sight.

A devil rabbit stared at Yuki with murderous eyes before quickly charging at her with its head lowered, pointing its horns right at her. Yuki readied her weapon, and as soon as it got close, she moved to her right and slashed out at the devil rabbit's side. A deep gash appeared with green blood spurting out of it. The devil rabbit let out a cry of pain as it tumbled to the ground. Yuki quickly turned around and was about to land the killing blow so she could get the beautiful experience points. But... A young man ran by and stabbed his weapon into the devil rabbit's head, effectively stealing her kill. "Hahaha! Noob!" The young man yelled as he laughed and ran away.

Yuki clenched her fist. One thing she hated was when someone stole something that belonged to her. Games had a kind of code where you do not steal other people's prey. But this young man did not seem to care about that. Taking a deep breath, trying to calm her anger, Yuki slowly exhaled and moved on to her next target. But once again, the same young man stole her kill. Then again. And again… On the fifth time, Yuki finally couldn't take it anymore. "What is your issue?"

"What? Is it my fault you can't get the last hit? Why don't you just get the last hit, and then I won't be able to take your kills? Hahaha!" The young man answered as he let out a laugh. When he saw Yuki glaring daggers at him, he laughed even harder and asked: "What is that look for? Are you going to kill me?"

"Mm… I am." Yuki did not even wait before shoving her sword into the young man's neck. She quickly pulled it out and then struck out 8 more times. Before the young man even had a chance to say anything else, his eyes opened wide in shock. He probably never expected Yuki to outright kill him. His body fell to the ground in a pool of blood. A small bag appeared next to his body. Yuki picked it up and looked through it. Anything that was worth keeping she kept, the rest she deleted before dropping the bag back to the ground. But before she left, she made sure to stab the young man a few more times before walking off.

Yuki's sudden decisive action stunned the other players on the field and also their admiration. It was not only Yuki who had been given a hard time by that young man but many others as well. But in the future, this would be the norm for Soul Fusion Online. The game was based on a cultivation world, after all. How could a cultivation world be considered a cultivation world if you could not kill people who annoyed you or just because?

This was one aspect that Yuki had remembered reading about and the reason why she did not hesitate to kill the young man. But after she killed him and looted his body, she felt much better. Although she lost a decent amount of experience points, she was at least able to get back the drops she lost. As for the young man, when he returned to his body to find all his items missing, he clenched his fist and stared at Yuki, who was now fighting a devil rabbit. Then, out of pure rage, he ran towards Yuki, wanting revenge.

Yuki, on the other hand, figured this might happen, so she had always kept an eye on the young man's body. So as soon as the young man resurrected, she went on guard. She quickly killed the devil rabbit she was currently attacking before turning around and blocking the strike from the young man. The young man's face was full of anger as he bellowed: "I will kill you! You bastard!"

"You reap what you sow. I wouldn't have killed you if you stopped stealing my kills." Yuki retorted as she parried the young man and slashed out with her sword. She then spun her body and roundhouse kicked the young man in the head, making him stagger back before thrusting out six attacks with her sword. Once again, the young man died.

When the young man resurrected, he found out something even more horrible than losing his items. His level dropped. His level went from level 1 back to level 0. With how long it took just to gain a single level, you could hear the young man's scream from the resurrection point all across the village. Yuki, the cause of this, had no idea that she had caused the young man to lose a level. She happily continued farming while keeping an eye on the young man's body. But even after an hour, the young man never came to resurrect, and it was finally time for Yuki to log off.

Before logging off, Yuki went to the marketplace to see if any of her gold had sold. To her surprise, of the 990 she had put on the marketplace, 500 of it had already sold. Seeing this, a broad smile formed on Yuki's face. After a bit of quick math in her head with the new 4 crowns per 1 silver and after the 6% cut the game company takes from her, she had 188,000 crowns to her name. This was many, many years of paychecks from her previous job. "With this, I can get a new place..."

Yuki filled out all the forms to transfer her money into her account before logging off. But when she pulled the headset off, her ears were filled with screaming and yelling right outside her door. "You are not to touch her!"

"Fuck! If I say I want her, she has no choice but to let me fuck her! Otherwise, I will beat her just as hard as I beat you!" The man's voice was loud enough that the entire city could probably hear it.

"No, I won't let you!" The woman's voice was very familiar to Yuki, it was Mary. The man's voice was probably her pimp. Knowing this, Yuki frowned and reached under her pillow and pulled out the knife she had hidden there. She never felt safe sleeping without it. She crept over to the door and peeked through the eye hole to see Mary being held up by her hair and a big rough looking man with huge muscles grasping her head.

"Bitch shut up! What do you know? Soon as I stick her with some neo she will be begging me to do her!" The man let out a laugh as he said this. His gaze was filled with lustful thoughts, which made Yuki tremble. She wanted to go out to save Mary, but she was afraid for her own safety. She had lived in these hell holes for 18 years. She survived and did not wish to become an addict or someone who sold her body. She had her own morals, and she did not wish to lose them.

That was until she saw Mary do something stupid. She had pulled a knife from her panty line and stabbed it into the man's chest. "I told you, I will not let you touch her! You should just die!"
