Sounds of Crowds moving*

"Fresh meat! Come get your fresh meat!" A butcher is trying his best to attract customer to his shop.

From the day Connor is transported to the spirit rift, he doesn't feel any need to eat, drink and sleep thus he continues to play with the system.

'Magic creation, immortality.'

[Insufficient creation point, no related recommendation is found.]

'How much creation point is needed?'

100,000 creation points.

'How much creation point needed for allowing the host to see other people names on top of their head.'

300 creation points.

'Oh, that's convenient, though there is so much I want her to get, but I only have 50 points. Creation point for minimap?'

500 creation points.

...

Connor continues to play around with the system until the bustling noise around awakens ava. Ava in return immediately springs out from her bed after she wakes up.

"Oh yeah, I sneaked out from my house yesterday. Urgghh... Yawn* What time is it?"

[What am I? Your servant?]

"... Sigh. Morning demon." Ava got up from the bed and peer out at the window nearby. Seeing that it is already noon she arbitrarily smiles to herself.

[Inferior blink is available for use. Three hours left before your rune of protection I, is available for use.]

"Yawn* So many things to see and do." After stretching herself, she hurried off to get a bucket of hot water to wipe herself.

[You are not here for sightseeing.]

"I know, it's just this is my first time out without being followed. Cut me some slack."

[Keep that to a minimum if you do not want your life to be in danger.]

"I know, can I get an ability to let me know if I'm in danger?"

'Creation magic, danger instinct.'

Danger instinct I - The ability to detect and be aware of the danger surrounding the host. Able to identify threat around 50 meters of the host. 50 creation point needed.

'Oh god... Oh well, she's going to get more points anyway. Confirm danger instinct I.'

Danger instinct I have been confirmed, updating it now.

[You have to wait for a while before the ability is awarded to you. In the meantime, I explain the ability to you. Danger instinct I - The ability to detect and be aware of the danger surrounding the host. Able to identify threat around 50 meters of the host.]

"Thanks, demon, now time to have breakfast."

~ Meanwhile

A group of soldiers has reached Roukitz village, but they didn't expect to stumble upon something worse.

"Let's hurry."

The soldier that is accompanying him nods in agreement. While approaching the village, they hope that things aren't bad as they can be seen.

Huk*

Elurrrgh*

Three of them starts to throw up after seeing the conditions of the village. At the start, the bad smell forces them to cover their nose as they get nearer to the village but upon seeing decapitated bodies all over the village. They couldn't help but vomit out their lunch.

"W-What the fuck happen here?"

"George, I don't see any women and child. Only men."

"I can't believe you can still try to take a look at what is happening."

"Scent removal."

The bad smell around them slowly vanished.

"Thanks, Bill, let's take turns."

"More importantly, from the look of it, this seems to be the doing of the thugs."

"You mean they chase the people that manage to escape? I don't think mere thugs would care about runaways."

"Either that, they intend to cover their identities. Anyway, let's see if we can find anyone that is still alive."

Puddles of blood can be seen everywhere within the village, The horrors of death can be seen on the victim decapitated heads. Some of the victim's eyes seem to be missing, and they would find them ten meters away from the head. The brutality of their finding gives them shiver thinking what kind of people would do this kind of things.

"This is hatred. Did the village make an enemy of someone powerful?"

"Ryan, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"

"Guys, I feel something terrible is within that huge storeroom. My spirit warns me to stay away from the place."

Bill and George nod their head and quickly draw their sword. Giving signs to each other, they slowly approach the storeroom. Blood still can be seen pouring out from the storeroom despite the amount of time that has passed by.

Three of them nod to each other after deciding to proceed with their plan.

"Fireblast"

*Dsshhhh

The magic burst the wooden door to pieces.

Bill charge in courageously. While George and Ryan standby outside but after a few minutes and not hearing any sounds they slowly walk inside.

They see Bill crouching down, hands down to the ground while weeping to himself. They are about to ask what is wrong but something apparent attracts them.

Dead men and women bodies were piled one after another in the middle of the storeroom. Another thing that makes them speechless is that all of the bodies are naked, accompanied by the smell of semen.

White organic fluid is all over the women bodies. In fact, most of the male victims die while showing pleasurable expressions.

Different from the men, the women seem to be suffering, and a massive amount of blood can be seen pouring out from their abdomens.

"F-Fuck them... How could they do this?"

"Mental serial killers... Let's quickly report to the general."

"I can't believe such a thing has happened to the village that is under our general."

"Someone is out there to bring down our general."

"What do you mean?"

"The day that we are tasked to travel to this village, I heard that Ava Philips, our general daughter was attacked."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go report before it's too late."

"You're right."

As the three soldiers and their horses gallop away from the horizon, a demi-human can be seen sitting on top of the storeroom.

~ Back to Connor and Ava

"How much for the dagger?"

"100 gold coins. Hey lady, no matter how much you ask, the price won't go down."

'Tch, the bad thing about wearing a commoner clothing.'

[How about killing him and end this farce.]

"F-Fine, here you go 100 gold coins."

"Finally huh, stupid girl."

After paying the man, she quickly takes the dagger and stomps out from the shop.

"Hey, is there an alternative method to speak to you? It's inconvenient for me if I have to voice out for you to hear them."

'Now that she brings it out, I didn't realize such convenience. Am I able to read my host thoughts?'

The host would need to trust the system and enable it for the system, in this case, you, to be able to hear her mind.

[I'm your conscious Ava, you decide whether I can hear your mind or not. It will be determined if you put your trust in me.]

"Is that so?"

Sliding the dagger into a sheath, Ava put it behind her back.

Danger instinct I have been updated

Ava head suddenly receives an undesirable amount of pain. Unable to take the damage, she couches on the ground while grabbing her head.

'This is a first. Is it currently calculating all of the people around her?'

'W-What is happening, arhhh... My head is killing me.' Ava continues to resist the pain that she's been struck.

'Well... What do you know, she does trust me. I can hear her now.'

[Congratulations, I'm honored that you put your trust in me.]

'What the hell is this demon on about now?'

[Now, that's a surprise. What happens to your etiquette Ava?]

'Huh? Y-You can hear my thoughts?'

[You have allowed me to, Ava. For that, I am thankful, though I do not have anything to reward you.]

"W-Woman... A woman..." A man sees Ava and starts approaching her.

As Ava suffers she went to someplace quiet so that it won't disturb the public but being naive as she is, things don't go her way.

[We got company, Ava. The man seems to have mental issues.]

'I know, what choice do I have? The pain is still disabling me to think properly.' Ava grit her teeth as tries her best to resist the pain.

[Simple, the man is alone. You either kill him or quickly use inferior blink before he can disturb your ability to go back to your room in the tavern that is less than twenty meters away from here.]

'He is innocent. I do not want to kill if I don't need to.'

[Innocent? You're hilarious Ava. He is completely nude and is slowly walking towards you, and you got the guts to tell me that he is innocent? Is being raped something that you would like to be imposed on you?]

'S-Shit... You should have said that long ago.'

[Well, what are you waiting for?]

"S-Sorry, I am unable to hold it much longer" The man bends down to grab Ava clothing.

[Do it now!]

As the man touches Ava clothing, Ava sprang up and lunge the icicle on her hand to the neck of the man. The sharp icicle easily pierces through the man Adam apple. In an instant blood squirt to Ava's face and her clothes.

Ava action immediately immobilizes the man. The man falls behind his back and starts to struggle. Ava then proceeds to use the inferior blink to get back to her room in the tavern.

"Yeugghhh... Leegghhh..." The man continues to hold his neck as he struggles to limit the amount of blood coming out from his neck. Regardless blood continues to flows out from his neck. His eyes slowly turn red and veins can be visually be seen on his forehead.

The man tried to use his spirit power, but as he is unable to voice out the chants, the spirit is unable to help him and continues to watch him as he slowly dies.

"Haa... Haaa... Haa." After ten minutes, Ava slowly recovers from a sudden migraine that she was having a while ago. Upon blinking, Ava immediately creates a bunch of icicles and put them inside a pail so she could clean herself of the blood after it melts.

"Is this your fault demon? Haa... Haaa."

[You were the one that wanted the ability.]

"What?"

[A migraine that you had? It's the cause of getting the power for the very first time.]

'He is lying again...'

[I don't.]

'My god, now he can even hear my thoughts. I can't believe I allow him to read my thoughts. What's wrong with me.'

'System, the reason why she is having a migraine?'

It is the first time, the host can communicate through thoughts.

'Next time, please inform me if there happen to have a side effect or any buff and debuff alright?'

Affirmative.

'Demon, you still there?'

[Your brain is unable to comprehend my existence thus you receive a slight migraine for trying to communicate to me for the very first time.]

'You should have told me that sooner... Stupid'

Ava makes herself fall to her bed.

"O-Ouch... Damn, this dagger." The dagger that she put on her back previously, accidentally poke her back. Fortunate for her that she place it inside the sheath.

[Congratulations though.]

'About what?'

[Killing a mental rapist.]

'......................... I am not grateful. I should have just used inferior blink.'

[The ability will be deactivated if the man touches you. One after another, you still will be forced to take action on your own.]

Ava brings up the hand that had mercilessly killed a man, near her eyes while lying down on the bed. Her hand still shakes from the experience of killing a human being for her very first time.

'I... I killed someone. Is this how it feels like to kill someone?'

[Don't ask me, I have no idea.]

'Shut up, demon. I am not talking to you. Sigh... Hey, what do you think I should do now.'

[Gather information.]

'What kind, I know a lot of information, all of the noble family in this kingdom, the various lands, the geographical aspect of the land and the types of business that I need to keep a look out for.'

[The history of this world and most importantly the spirits.]

'Why do you want to know?'

[Things are not what it seems. Numerous people will die, and you might be one of them if you don't change yourself.]

'W-What do you mean by that? What is going to happen?'

[I don't think you can accept the truth. Time will tell whether you have the strength to live on. As for now, rest up. Tomorrow wake up early, to get some facts right.]

'You're not my mother. I'm famished let's get some food and hot water before I go to sleep.'

Ava went down while her hand continues to shiver from her experience.

'Trying to escape from reality is it?' Connor wryly smiles as he follows her down to the ground floor of the tavern for her dinner.
