The Beach (5)

"Ok, let's get out of here." the guild master spoke, he grabbed a bag filled with what they looted and started walking "Come back with us to rest up, then you can leave if you want." he spoke again.

Red looked at him and was about to say something.

'Quest : Kill the necromancer and obtain his ring 1 / 1'

'Reward : ( 20 000 XP / 30 000 $)'

'Level Up'

"Level up again?" Red thought to himself. He was standing there, adding all his LP to INT.

"You coming kid?" The female archer asks. Red looks up and sees the other party waiting for him. they saw him looking and doing odd hand gestures, they were unable to see the system screen so they were looking at him funny.

"No. I have to go, sorry" says red then he mutters to himself "Leave Dungeon"

WOSH!

A light comes out of nowhere and red vanishes.

"What the hell was that?" the archer asked.

"Not sure, maybe a teleportation spell? but i don't sense any mana around, there are no traces left, it's like he was never here." the guild master spoke.

"Even the guild master couldn't sense it? how strong was he?" The man with the daggers spoke.

The team just stood there for a bit then started to walk out. they were simple minded, if they didn't understand it then they'll stop thinking about it.

....

WOSH!

"Ahhhhh" a scream came next to red. He was startled by it and looked around.

In a white towel stood nana with her hands on her chest. it looked like she just got out of the shower.

"Oh my god, red where did you come from?" she asked. when she didn't find him in the living room, she decided to take a shower quickly before he got back. when she was coming out, a white light flashed in the middle of the room and red appeared out of nowhere.

"Sorry about that" said red while looking at Nana, she was pretty with a very attractive body even with the oversized towel, red could still see her alluring curves. He stared for a bit then got himself to look away.

"It's fine. i'll go wear something then. the girls are still asleep, it has been a long day." she says with a smile. Red noticed her face blushing a little, she noticed him looking at her but ignored it. After she walked inside the room and closed the door, Red sat on the couch and checked his inventory. Even though he had to sell a lot of stuff for the fight, he still had some left, especially the ring. after the necromancer's death red noticed the system automatically looting the man, aside from the corroded soul stone and the necromancy book, red noticed the ring that the quest mentioned. he was very curious about it but he didn't want to show it in front of the party that appeared out of nowhere.

Grim reaper's ring : An item from the Grim reaper's set, very rare. 10% life steal, +20% damage against undead creatures.

Red was stunned, he didn't think item sets existed. When he looked at the appraisal he saw the 'Grim reaper's set' and pressed on it.

'Grim reaper's set : The grim reaper's set is made of 5 rare items. Grim reaper's ring, Grim reaper's boots, Grim reaper's robe, Grim reaper's staff, Grim reaper's gloves. Depending on the number of items acquired, the user will receive bonuses.'

"This is incredible. this will help me a lot." Red was excited. He immediately wore the ring, it had an aura around it, making it look powerful and dominating. After browsing through the spells and skills at the shop red went out to go for a walk. something worried him, the man that went after the girls was too arrogant for his rank, he spoke like he had people backing him. Red couldn't leave an enemy that might come after him later, so he went out looking for him.

Even though he couldn't use his skills or spells, red managed to advance to the 5th tier with body tempering. it felt like red was using someone else's body. after ranking up, his body felt strange, there was some pain but didn't last long and when it was gone red felt like he was brimming with power. he broke through when he was at the necromancers cave, it was probably one of the reasons why he managed to hang on for that long against that monster.

Feeling power coursing through his body, red didn't feel like he needed to use any of his spells or skills against that ranker. After walking for a while, he heard something.

"F**K OUT THE WAY." someone yelled in the distance and red could see a boy being pushed to the side hard, and the one that pushed him was none other than one of the two dogs from back then. Red didn't do anything and just followed him.

On the way, red was more and more disgusted with these people. pushing, harassing, mocking and they even beat up an innocent man for not giving them the ice cream he bought for his son. it felt odd and like their arrogance was out of place. after some time, they went inside a cabin, it looked like all the other cabins except the stuff on the outside. Red was baffled, he thought who would decorate and have his things everywhere like that outside, but after investigating for a bit, Red understood that this was not a cabin rented to them, they were living there. He approached it slowly and looked inside from the broken window.

Food containers and clothes were everywhere, the place looked nasty.

"Are they really living here?" he asked himself.

Other than the messy place, red saw the ranker he beat laying on the couch with a girl sitting next to him. Red had a furious look on his face, the girl had tears in her eyes and was shaking. "this bastard went after another innocent girl didn't he?" red thought.

After putting on rusty armor he looted from the cave, red stood up from his hiding spot and broke the handle of the back door as silently as he could, and went in. The two idiots that were following him were inside the room, red heard a girl crying from in there. without a second thought he opened the room's door and stood there. The armor red looted was from an undead skeleton, it was silver with rust and blood all over it, he looked like a monster.

"WHO.. WHO ARE YOU?" one of them screamed after seeing red.

"You. leave" red looked at the girl. she was frightened but calmed down after that. The moment she left through the door, a sword appeared in Red's hand out of thin air and he vanished.

WISH!

"Agh..." with a brief noise, two heads rolled on the floor with blood going everywhere.

"Two down, one to go." Red muttered to himself. He had a cold look in his eyes, with a close inspection one can see the color red flashing. they looked like the eyes of a demon.

....

"Come on, i'll let you go if you do it. don't you want to leave?" a man sitting on a couch spoke "I promise i'll let you go after" he added after a bit with a creepy grin.

Tap tap!

"Are they done already?" he thought while looking at the running girl, she opened the cabin door and left. this got the other girl to lose it and start running as well without looking back.

"WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING??" he screamed while jumping up and going after her. when he was about to grab her arm, he felt a cold sensation then a burning excruciating pain ran through his arm. With a frightened and confused expression, he looks down.

"WHAT THE F**K!! WHERE IS MY ARM." When he looked down he saw blood shooting out of it, with his arm sitting on the floor, still twitching.

"WHO DID THI..." Without even giving him the chance to say nor see anything, his head flew off of his shoulders, landing back on the couch.

WOSH!

Red vanished from his spot with intense speed. Not only did his body become tougher, his strength and also his speed increased. He didn't get the chance to show off his new abilities while fighting the creature, since he was immune to physical attacks and it was crazy fast itself.

When he reached an empty space between cabins, Red removed the armor and walked out like nothing happened.

He wondered to himself on his way back "aren't i becoming ruthless?" and "Did i over react?"

Since the incident with his mother and sister, and the constant killing in the dungeons red didn't hesitate to kill people, he was a bit worried but felt no remorse for those roaches. Since rankers are influential, Red knew that that ranker would have looked for him and tried to get revenge on him. red didn't want to take any chances... not anymore.

While walking back, Red could tell how tired he felt mentally and physically. He didn't rest yet after that dungeon, the moment he got back to his cabin he walked straight to the couch and fell asleep. He didn't even see that Nana was sitting there on her phone.

"Ah" she let out a low gasp. Red just threw himself on the couch, and without noticing, he ended up using Nana's lap as a pillow and fell asleep straight away.

"Is he that tired?" she thought to herself, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

....

"This is too brutal" a man in a suit stood at the door frame looking at the bodies and blood "Did he do this?" he asked.

"Yes sir, he got into an altercation with the group and it appears that he returned later." a soldier reported.

"I don't sense any mana in here, did he do it without using any spells? this is interesting" the man smiled "He didn't want to leave any burdens or potential threats. He's learning".

"What should we do about this sir?" the soldier asked.

"Nothing." The man continued "Clean up this mess. He did us a favor, these guys were causing a lot of trouble and using the guilds name while doing so. they over estimated their value."

....

"Oh my god, look at you guys. That's so cute." Nat snuck up on nana and whispered "Not fair. i wanted to do that"

"It...it's not what it looks like" nana stuttered "I guess he was training and was too tired. he didn't even see me here and just fell asleep." she whispered.

"Where did he train?" nat asked.

"I don't know, he did something though. when i came in here back then, he appeared out of nowhere, maybe it was teleportation." nana whispered.

"That's so cool," said nat.

After some time, Nat got a pillow for Nana to put under Red's head and they went out. They were planning to get some food and look around, of course this time as protection they brought pepper spray with them, even though they knew that no one would try anything after that incident.

"Do you smell that? let's go check that place out." Nana jumped and started running.

"Wait up," Nat yelled.
