-Vol 5: A New Life-
-Massacre(2)-
“Who are you?” the man who seemed to be the leader of the group asked with caution. He had already seen the power of this masked soldier who with just a single punch incapacitated one of his subordinates. These people around him aren't any common thugs, each of them had a level around 10 to 15, making them stronger in comparison to average hunters. Even with their level, he was knocked out instantly, how can he not be careful?
Seeing the masked soldier had no intention of stopping, the man’s face resembled a bitter gourd, making his ugly face even uglier. He was already compromised enough to not blatantly attack him, but this man seemed to not appreciate it. This made him very angry. Just as he was about to order the other four to attack him together, he noticed something strange. The four around him just stood in a daze, as if they saw something incomprehensible. Their eyes were glazed over, and their mouth was hung open. Every now and then their body would shake violently as if they were experiencing a nightmare. Seeing all this, the man understood that he was probably dealing with trouble that he might not be able to handle, this soldier was clearly very powerful.
After blasting the man out with but a punch, Kenshin came outside and observed the remaining four. Except for the fat man in the center, other’s level was around 10 to 15, making them a very powerful force in this Mito. As for the man in the center that seemed to be their leader, he had already crossed the threshold of level 50, making his level 52. But none of them have a skill that Kenshin wanted or not seen before. A few even don’t have a skill at all. He abandoned the idea of replicating any of their skills and instead blasted a full power [King’s Presence] to the remaining three people.

Three invisible beams of light generated from Kenshin's forehead and headed for the three people he had aimed for. As the beam of light penetrated their respective heads, their body shook violently and their eyes glazed over. With the physical interference property of his newly evolved skill, it might be possible that their brain had sustained some irreversible damage. Although the system had yet to notify him of their death as he also seemed to gain something called the karma points after the people he kills.
Deciding to kill them later, he concentrated on the last remaining target of his. The ugly man with the scar. Coating his hand with his Intent, he, steps by step closed on the man, wanting to get rid of him before he alerts the ones inside and possibly allows them to escape. Kenshin couldn’t have that. Those ‘big fishes’ were his real targets if he misses them, there was no meaning of this mission. Thinking of this, he used all his agility and vanished from his spot and reappeared a few inches away from the surprised man with his hands in the shape of a claw, ready to grab his head.
He grabbed hold of his head and with his left hand gave a heavy punch to his protruding belly. Afraid of any unwanted noise, he made sure that his hand was on the face of this fat man. After receiving his punch, the fat man had his eyes bulged out as he stopped struggling. The pain was so intense that he started to sweat like a pig. The newly formed scar which somewhat healed also forced open as blood spurted out of it.
Feeling a hot and wet sensation on his right hand, Kenshin removed it from the man’s mouth and made a disgusted face finding that it was actually his blood and saliva. The man seemed to have vomited from that one punch. Losing the support of Kenshin’s hand which appeared to have supported his entire weight, he kneeled down holding his stomach. Not giving him time to adjust to the pain, he grabbed his bald head and gave another vicious punch, this time right to his face. A few yellow teeth flew out along with a mouthful of blood, and when the man tried to scream, he was stopped by Kenshin’s hand on his face.

“Mmmm!!” the muffled scream and probably shout of the man rang out, but Kenshin had already closed his mouth forcibly, making it impossible for his voice to be heard by others. Kenshin had no interest to listen to him talking. He also didn't need any information on anyone. With the system’s map, he had already determined where are all the people, and with his identity as the Laser Hero, no matter how fearsome these people’s background was, they could never hope to harm him publically.
In fact, Kenshin was thinking too much. He was thinking of the worst, but it might also be possible that there wouldn't come to a situation where he would be able to expose his identity. Although he was dealing with a secret organization, his personal strength was also nothing to scoff at either. He also has the support of the DCB, if by any chance he falls into danger, he would easily escape and come back with the DCB’s people. But of course, the situation would come to that extent. Afterall Kenshin had a trump card, he had a divine skill. If he encounters a very powerful opponent, he could just spam his Devine skill and kill everyone there.
An HP of 1000 wasn’t something that everyone could achieve. In comparison to others, Kenshin was already a cockroach with so much HP that he could be a nightmare to even a level 150 hunter. He could already count as a dungeon boss with the amount of HP and skills he had. Lifting his hand again, he gave one last punch to his face making it cave in. The man with scar couldn’t even use a bit of strength before he was overpowered, and ultimately died.
[+20 Karma points]
[+500 EXP]
“Hmm! EXP? I can gain EXP by killing people also?” Kenshin was a little startled when he saw the second notification. Although it wasn’t the first time he had killed people, he didn’t notice that he was gained some EXP from it. Last time when he killed that man with cannibalistic tendencies, he didn’t gain any EXP, only karma point. Although he was startled but didn’t surprise, he already knew something like this would happen. It's just that he had never tested it and today he did and wasn’t disappointed by it. After killing the man, he turned around towards the statue like three minions and decided to kill them also.
[+15 Karma Points][+340 EXP]
[+15 Karma Points] [+340 EXP]
[+15 Karma Points] [+340 EXP]
The same amount of Karma points from all three, this means these people had only done these evil deeds after coming under this man’s team. But there was another thing that made Kenshin worried, after killing these people, he didn’t feel any feeling of repulsiveness. Its as if killing people was nothing in his eyes. It made him very anxious and also a bit afraid that he would go the wrong path, after all the EXP gain after killing people was a pretty good temptation.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw
