Horror.

[Daily Quest completed]

[25 exp has been granted]

Panting heavily as he ran, Devon couldn't be happier to see this notification.

'That was good... I am slowly getting used to the flow a little,' Devon thought as he noticed that he didn't feel as exhausted as he did the previous day.

It was already the next day, and as usual, Devon had just finished his daily workout, and it was finally time for him to prepare for school. That was when a notification popped up in his face.

[Upgrading your daily quest - Since the host has pretty much gotten used to his daily routine, it is advisable that the host should spice up his training.]

[New quest - Go to the gym and lift some weights. A reward will be granted if the host is able to break his record every day.]

Devon didn't see this coming. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if he just gave the system an idea. Regardless, Devon still felt like this was a quest he might decide to ignore, at least for now.

Going to the gym as a novice meant getting a coach, and getting a coach meant spending some money. Devon wasn't going to spend his money on the gym for now. He would rather train at home.

Getting his things ready, Devon quickly left and headed towards school. He did notice just how early it was, and the fact that his sister was still at home when he left just proved his point.

Devon decided to run to school instead of getting a cab.

Even before gaining his werewolf powers, it was already a habit of Devon to walk to school since he couldn't afford to pay the cab fee.

Running through the street, it was a little bit more free than usual since it was still early in the morning.

As he was running, Devon was thinking about something. He was thinking about how to raise his stats. Devon had concluded that he would be going more regularly to the street brawl, and to assure his wins in every match, he had to increase his stats to get stronger.

Devon came to a stop as something caught his eye around the street. It was a group of boys along with a girl. The look on the girl's face said it all. She was not comfortable with what was going on around here.

Devon stopped as he looked towards their direction. It was then he noticed that they were heading towards a dark alley, probably up to no good.

'Damn it... Devon, mind your own business,' Devon thought. As he was about to leave, though, an image of his sister flashed before his mind.

"Heck... If it could be this girl today, it could be my sister any day... I have to stop them... I have to show them that there are consequences for what they are doing." Devon thought.

He immediately followed the others into the alley and could already hear a voice from inside.

"Hey... I'll go first, then you guys," one of the boys said. He was the one mainly holding the girl's hand while pinning her against the wall.

"Get your dirty hands off her!" a voice was heard, attracting the attention of the other boys as they looked towards the entrance of the alley.

"Ohhh... Look at this... Someone wants to have a test," the boy holding onto the girl said with a smile. "Get your ass out of this place before I kick your ass!" he shouted.

Devon could see the numbers, no doubt they surpassed what he could do. At least the last time he fought against such people, he nearly lost.

Devon looked at the girl that was being harassed. The girl had blue hair and was about the same height as his sister, probably even the same age. Seeing this hit Devon so hard that he didn't even notice the system notification that had popped up.

[Bloodlust increasing... Alert has been added +2]

Devon didn't even notice this notification and started walking forward.

Seeing that the intruders were not complying, the boys, about the same age as Devon, started to get ready. One of them reached into his pocket and brought out a small knife, holding it in his hand.

[New Quest - The host is dumb enough to play a heroic role in this world. Since you started it, you might as well finish it.

You have been surrounded by armed teenagers who are desperate to get what they want. Beat them all with a flawless victory. Failure to do so might result in death.]

[Reward: Unknown]

The thing is, Devon's mind was no longer there anymore. Looking at the people in front of him, all he could feel was disgust and anger. "It is people like you that spoil men's names!" Devon shouted as he rushed forward. He had great speed thanks to the increase in his stats, while his bloodlust was on.

As Devon rushed forward, the one with the knife also rushed forward and swung the knife at him, aiming to stab him.

Devon grabbed the hand before going in for a whirl around and threw the body to the next person coming after him.

Immediately, Devon moved to the next person, throwing out a fist and hitting him in the face, sending him flying into the trash.

Meanwhile, while the others were distracted, the girl used the opportunity to kick the one holding her between his legs, causing him to drop to his knees in pain. She immediately rushed out towards the other end before the others could do anything.

"Look at what you've done!" the boy yelled as he reached into his pocket.

Meanwhile, Devon was still holding onto the last person before throwing him into the trash.

"Damn you!" the boy shouted as he brought out a pistol with a silencer at the front.

"Die!" he shouted while pulling the trigger. Devon, at that moment, jumped over to the wall. His claws grew out as he stabbed them into the wall like it was a soft surface.

He soon pulled them out as he jumped down and swung his hand, hitting the boy and knocking him out instantly.

[Bloodlust has decreased to 20%.]

Devon sighed as he knelt on the floor. He looked at the gun being held by the boy. 'Just how did a boy of his age get his hands on a firearm?' Devon wondered.

He still couldn't forget the close call just now. There were two reasons why he had won this fight fairly easily and quickly. One was that he was already underestimated by the group of boys, and he acted first.

Devon thought of what would have happened to him if the bullet had hit. Surely he would be dead, just like the system stated. It also made him wonder just how the system knew such information about the kids, how it was able to evaluate that any mistake could cost him his life.

Since he couldn't think of any possible answer for this, Devon could only do one thing, and that was to look at his system.

'It was a flawless victory just like you stated. Now where is my reward?'

[Congratulations, you passed the quest.]
