Chapter 3 - Unfit

Seeing the panel before my eyes, it was interesting to see the progress that has been attained. My speed could only be described as monstrous as it could be possible for someone who barely has any strength to reach this rate in a short span of a night. Normally it takes months even years depending on the talent and resources of the person. It was unfortunate that there are no alchemists in this world to provide me with medical pills nor do I have the skill to make one.

I'm a Slaughter God and not an Alchemy God. I spend most of my time fighting and killing people rather than concocting pills. I may have knowledge here and there but skills to make one is impossible. Regardless, my progress was unbelievable and wouldn't be long to reach peak or even transcendent within this month or so. 

I decided to train his body as it would be bad if my body couldn't properly maintain the Qi circulating in his body. I removed the panel screen by telling it, the reason I know how to was because the system upload on how to use it and what it could provide but there isn't much besides mission and status function. 

'First I should train and test my strength.'

Hopping down the boulder turns my attention to the large object. I took a deep breath as my Qi circulated through my body causing it to tenses up and bulk up. My strength was rapidly increasing. It was then I struck the boulder with my power producing a sound similar to whip pushing dust and debris into the surrounding.

I frowned at the result as it barely caused a dent at the rock yet at the back of the boulder had been obliterated. It was frustrating how dangerous this is and needed some adjustment to avoid accidentally killing people. I know that humans could barely do this and are only seen in fiction. I may be a slaughter god and ruthless but I am not heartless. I've only killed on the battlefield or if the enemy had the intent to kill. 

Furthermore, my arms had become numb from the pain after the strike. It shows that my Qi may be large but my body barely qualifies me to be a Martial artist. The best way is to train enough that my body could withstand the backlash from my strike.

'I still have an hour or so left to head back home.'

Looking at the moon and cloudless sky, I spend the next hour building up my muscles and strengthening my bones enough to not be destroyed by the backlash. It was extremely tiring and painful for anyone from my old world to see the Slaughter God in such a state then I would be a laughing stock, not that anymore expert alive after what I've done. 

"Haa…aha…god…ha…this is tiring…How pathetic…"

I could help but slightly curse this boy's habit, though seeing his life was different mine couldn't completely blame him. He hadn't seen what I've seen and done. It would be unfit for me to judge him because of being looked down upon but now that we've become one, I'll make sure to change it.  

After a while, I dressed myself before descending the mountain leaving the place where it was littered with my strike and destroyed trees. It was noticeable that after cultivating my clothes had significantly grown smaller as I've grown taller and more muscular. 

This is not comparable to [ Body Reconstruction ] but enough to be noticable for people who know me. If anyone asks then I could just make up things and once they've chosen violence then they'll know why I am called [ Slaughter God ]. 

'I need a long bath….and some food.'

My stomach growls at me forgetting that my current body needed some worldly substances in order to survive. I decided to just run my way back to my home since it was faster that way and didn't need to worry about traffic. After planting my feet into the dirt vanished in blinding speed comparable to a horse. My body despites it flaws was flowing with vigor and life. 

It's been a long time since I have such a young body and feel my body actually boiling excitement. It was perhaps the sensation of the youth. Regardless, I run through the streets and parkour into the building to maximize my time and avoid people's attention. I couldn't help but grin until I arrived at the apartment building and gasped for air while still retaining my smile.  

The people were looking at my disheveled state as I wiped the sweat in my body. I noticed how some women were looking at me hungry which made me smirk but I headed inside since I'm starving. My time to eat and take a bath in order to go to school was enough. 

I entered my apartment to check if my father arrived but unfortunately he was still at work. It was depressing to see this boy trampled while his father worked hard. Another sigh escapes my breath, even if they aren't war or conflict they are always hardship to be found. 

"Well for now, let's cook some food and finally beat that guy…what was his name? Ah, Gunner! I've once seen him have that blonde girl….perhaps I'll steal her. Yes, she would be a fine concubine in my life."

I've been a man no stranger to stealing another man's wife, especially an enemy which I have conquered. It was nice stealing those women from their abusive and pathetic husbands. Putting that aside, I decided to prepare some noodles and other food in the fridge. I'm one who could care less with the taste as long my body is filled with food. 

However, I never expected that such a simple meal could be this delightful. This world is truly interesting and many things to indulges with barely any threats beside nuclear bombs even then, It wouldn't be long for me to reach Divine Master once more if I do things correctly. 

"Damn! If only I had some alcohol and shared some with…haaa…."

Another bitter taste left my mouth, I couldn't help but recall how my loved ones died. At least they've died quick and swiftly without their body being defiled. Furthermore, they're alive in this world and I only needed to find them soon. From what that voice told me then I would feel a strange sensation that I am attracted to them and vice versa. Though it was troubling that I caught the attention of a person beyond Divine Master.

[ Normal Mission]

[ Task: Defeat Gunner ]

[ Reward: Bronze Chest ]

"Hmmm…a Bronze chest? Easy."

From what I recall, chests are rated from Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum Gold. The rewards are random and higher the grade, the better chances of amazing reward. The task was easy enough and I already planned on beating him up to show my dominance. I won't kill him, it would be best to just trample him. 

'Let see….oh here we are.'

He wasn't worth the effort and focused my attention on a very important task and that is to find the fastest way to earn money. The best place is an underground fight where it is to the death and earn more money because of it. These include any bladed and blunt weapon only excluding a gun. The weapon could even be coated with poison if they want to. 

It was rather easy when this body was genius when it came to technology. Well, it's an exaggeration but his skill and talent was enough for me to find the place I'm looking for.

"It's close by…. that's good to hear."

Finishing my meal, I clean my plate before heading to the shower to see my new body. It was noticeable indeed growing taller and broader than before while my hair grew enough to cover my eyes. I prefer my hair to be long anyway since it is common in Murim. I flex my biceps showing an individual muscle similar aesthetic as that fictional character…what was his name? Ah Garou.

'That Fang old man could easily be a Creation Realm borderline Profound Realm while Divine Master. Perhaps I could replicate their style on my own, especially that Garou kid…Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist?'

A powerful Martial art indeed and fitting for my style but let's not get ahead of ourselves. For now, I took a shower rinsing the foul smell of sweat and impurities before dressing myself with the uniform. I unbuttoned the shirt since it was far too tight while my pants were fortunately enough but it was obvious I needed a new pair. 

'Well I'm off…'
