"Tch."
Adelmarus scoff as he walks down an alley, carrying a briefcase. Following him were two bodyguards. Arriving at an open space with dumpsters overfilled with trash, with a door next to it. Opening the door revealed gangsters surround a table with their leader sitting on a chair. That gangsters' leader look at Adelmarus and said, "You got the goods?"
Adelmarus nod took a seat on the other chair and sets the briefcase on the table. He opens the briefcase, revealing bags that contain black powders. The gang leader smile and ask, "So,10 gold and 150 silver coins as usual?"
"No."
The gang leader's brows furrow as his smile turns into a frown. "What do you mean no?"
Adelmarus closes the briefcase. "You have been a naughty little boy and hasn't paid back the money you owe us. So, the cost for today's goods will be 200 gold coins." He said as he began scanning everyone in the room.
"2-200 gold coins! That's outrageous!" The gang leader yells angry but calm when Adelmarus stare at him. "L-Look, I'll pay back the coins later so can we just do the usual price?"
Adelmarus shakes his head as he wag his finger at the gang leader. "You promise you'll pay us back the money in 5 months. 5 months later and we don't see money being paid back so, the price is non-negotiable, Bruno."
The gang leader's eyes begin to turn bloodshot as black veins began to pop out of his forehead. "Please. I -I have don't have the money right now but I can get the money a week later." He begs. His hands were shaking, noticing the state their boss was in, the gang members became uneasy and begin whispering among themselves. Bruno turns to face them and yell at them to shut up.

Adelmarus just stare at him, his face staying the same as Bruno begs. "How many times do I have to tell you this. You didn't pay us back since the price is higher and is non-negotiable."
Bruno's look turns to despair as more black veins appear.
"But..."
Bruno's face turns hopeful.
"...You can repay us through another mean." Adelmarus said.
"R-Really? What is it?" Bruno ask.
Adelmarus spread his arms wide. "Why by serving Madame Keres of course!"
"I'll do it!" Bruno said.
"You're sure?"
"Yes!"
"I see," Adelmarus said rest his chin on his hand. He then turns to his bodyguards. "Kill them all." The two bodyguards nod.
"What?" Bruno said confuse.
Adelmarus face Bruno. "Don't worry you'll pay off your debt by serving Madame when you're dead meatbag. Now if you excuse me I have a call to make." He stood up and began to walk out.
Bruno opens his mouth to said something but was unable to do so before being killed by one of the bodyguards whose arms have now turn into blades while the other's turn into guns.
"Fuck!"
"I'll kill you!"
*Few Minutes Later."
"Yes everything is cleared, just send in the cleanup crew to help retrieve the bodies and clean up the blood and entrails you got that. Good." Adelmarcus hung up. One of his bodyguards walks up to him.
"Sir, all targets have been eliminated. Although this one has a question." The bodyguard report.
"What is it A-Lar-X2?" Adelmarcus ask.
"This one would like to ask what would happen to families of the targets?" A-Lar-X2 ask.
"Just kill them." Adelmarcus answers shrugging. "Just make sure it can't be traced back to us.
"Affirmative," A-Lar-X2 said.
"Good."
"Hey it seems that one of the major gang locates in Section C - 1 is gone." A guardsman said.
"So what? It's above our paygrade. Just ignore it."
"Good point."

Boosted Restart – A new chance in a different world (GL)
Sophia wasn't happy with her life. Due to some wrong decisions, she'd become really shy and introverted, to the point it hinders her from having basic interactions or even conversations. Not being able to talk with women at all, the only gender she's interested in, caused her to feel really lonely. The girl wanted to change, but she got too stuck in her ways. After all this time, Sophia had become unable to do so without help. One day, while she was busy complaining about her situation, she accidentally missed a red traffic light. This accident led to the end of the life she hated so much. However, she was saved from certain death by a mysterious being. He called himself an overseer of the worlds and gave her a second chance in a different world where even magic exists. He also granted her some boosts to make her life easier. Hoping to finally change herself, Sophia asked him to make her more outgoing, sociable, confident, and the likes. The overseer didn't just stop there. He boosted every single attribute of the girl. Every emotion and personality trait got altered, be it a positive or negative feeling. Her physical stats were no exception. This caused her to have the most literal identity crisis because she felt like someone else entirely. To make things worse, those emotional boosts aren't the most reliable ones, overcompensating or even failing from time to time. Trying to deal with these conflicting emotions, Sophia works hard to come to terms with the new her while doing her best in the new world. Exploring places, learning magic, finally finding friends again, and possibly more. Unfortunately, she learns this world's magic from a highly overpowered, easygoing, and somewhat unreliable teacher. This not only destroys the last bit of her common sense, but Sophia's application of magic also becomes rather sloppy, causing one weird incident after another. Not to mention that some of the inhabitants of her new home are a little different from what she imagined. An easy life still seemed impossible for Sophia, but for all the different reasons. ----------------------Info: Tags used elsewhere (Because RR really could use some more of them...): Genre Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Girls Love, Isekai, Romance, Slice of Life Tags Age Regression, Alternate World, Animal Characteristics, Appearance Changes, Appearance Different from Actual Age, Beast Companions, Beastkin, Carefree Protagonist, Demi-Humans, Dense Protagonist, Easy Going Life, Fantasy World, Female Protagonist, Identity Crisis, Lack of Common Sense, Magic, Misunderstandings, Modern Knowledge, Overpowered Protagonist, Personality Changes, Second Chance, Transmigration, Transported into Another World, World Travel
