Adam's True Limits

Keith practised his shooting skills and got used to the recoil of the hunter bullets before swapping weapons once again. He put his gun under his trench coat and left the church feeling confident about his shooting skills when it came to stationary targets. 

'I'm not really sleepy... so I guess I'll go visit the money church.' he thought as he walked along the road. 

Unlike the other churches, the Money God's believers had a strict hierarchy so he was confident that he'd be able to meet her as long as her awakened ability wasn't too important. 

A few minutes later, he silently walked into the church and looked at every single helper nuns who's main job was to keep things clean in the church and to help people who come to the church with minor things. 

But after looking at almost 20 nuns and monks, Keith frowned. 

'Not here. Did she really have a great awakened ability?' he thought, but then he walked to the confessional and talked about his brother joining the gangs and how it's been negatively effecting him. 

All of it was bullshit, but he continued blabbering for almost five whole minutes and stopped the moment he saw a familiar face. It was the same young lady he had seen a day or so ago, but she wasn't wearing the regular nun clothes. 

Instead, she wore a pure white tunic instead. Regular nuns wore a 90% black tunic with some parts having white, like the ends of their sleeves. This was the case with every single church. 

The higher ranking Nuns like the priestesses wore pure white ones instead. 

'So, it's like this huh? Well, it's a good thing that she wasn't taken somewhere else.' he thought as he began to act more and more depressed while also getting louder which easily caught the girl's attention.

After spouting even more bullshit for an extra minute, Keith took out a 5 brak coin and stopped right before putting it in the donation box. 

"Tch, this person in the confession booth didn't help me at all!" he said out loud and put the coin back inside his pocket, but just as he was about to leave, he heard a sweet voice from the direction where he saw the girl at. 

"My child, if you desire, we can retire to a more private sanctuary where you may confide in me. Share your burdens without hesitation, for I am here to offer solace and guidance."

Keith turned to look at her, 'Spoken like a true priestess... even though I'm kinda older than you...'

"You... you're a priestess?"

The girl simply smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Keith shook his head and took out the 5 brak coin instead. 

"Oh Priestess, I feel like my soul has been healed by your presence already. Please take this measly offering from me." he said as he gave the coin to her and left with a smile on his face. Before exiting the building, he turned back and saw her holding the coin that had a slight glow to it. 

Then, with a slight smile, he left the place and headed back to his sister's house. On his way, he gave out a mental command. 

'Set condition; Trigger the system the next time she is sexually involved with anyone.' he gave out a command as he recalled the thing that most nuns were of the Money Church did.

And that was to get money by sleeping with believers and higher ups for money. This was the most common method employed by both the male and female members of the church as the "act" did not need any monetary investment.

Once he got back home, he went straight to bed after asking his sister to save the food she made in the morning for him so he could eat it at night. 

********

After 2 hours of struggling to sleep and 5 hours of disturbed sleep, Keith work up with a grumpy look on his face. He smacked himself with a cold mug of water and put on his uniform before he sat on his bed with the revolver in his hand. 

He had bought a lot of 9mm rounds, also called the Kazak Bullets from the storekeeper. In total, with the 1 zen and 10 braks, which was just 30 braks, he had bought himself 30 bullets. 

The thing that was most surprising here, was that the hunter bullets cost only half of the kazak or war church's bullets. And the reason for this was simple. 

It was easier to buy hunting rifles compared to revolvers. Due to this, even the cost of the bullets was less.

Unfortunately, the church's exchange policy when it came to Adam's bullets was that for every bullet, the storekeeper only had to give out 2 of any regular bullet. 

While Keith felt like he was scammed, he didn't feel too bad as it was just 20 bullets worth.

He then grabbed the box of bullets and inserted 4 of them into his gun before stashing the rest back in his pocket. Once he was ready, he headed to the kitchen and ate all the food before leaving. 

But just as he was wearing his shoes, his sister rushed towards him and stuffed a package that was covered in paper and tied with a thread. 

"What's this?"

"Just take it and go. You told me that you used up all the bullets for practice right?" she said and patted his back. 

Keith simply stared at her silently, 'If only I had someone like her in my previous life... oh well, what's done is done.' 

"Thanks sis, but just how many did you save up until now? I thought that Adam was supposed to give away his bullets to the empire."

Rebecca nodded, "Yeah, but it isn't compulsory. He'll be forced to provide them bullets when it's war time and now, it's peaceful. Anyways the empire thinks that he can only create 12 bullets a day but in reality, he can make 30 each day. 

This is boosted to a total of 40 if he.... um makes love but it only works once a day. "
