Chapter 6: Killing intent & Daily Missions

When someone bumped into him.

He was startled, perhaps he had been too unconscious about the road he was walking on, while opening his system, but when he entered the alley there was no one there.

Even though he was weak, his vision was clear and sharp. There was no way this was accidental.

Concentrating on the real world, the first thing he saw was an angry chubby guy, with black hair, a light mustache, and sneaky eyes.

He was looking him dead on the eye as if he was about to eat him alive.

He didn't know who this guy was, so why was he looking at him like that? Had he done something to this guy? But besides the bump what could he have done?

That didn't seem to be just from a bump. It was at that moment that the guy spoke,

Guy:" Don't ever again to be rude to Professor Tatsuya, and try to catch her attention boy, otherwise it wouldn't end up well for you."

Now Eric could finally make sense of the situation he was in. This guy was that scumbag who would harm many women in the near future, alongside Tatsuya Minami.

From what he had heard in his future past, this guy had harmed a lot of young women, and university girl students.

But realizing this just made him madder, at this douche bag and the people like him, and his brother. But remembering his brother was what made him boil.

At that moment he lost control of himself, and his killing intent started to pour out like water flowing out of the dam.

The dark street alley turned a darker shade of black, and the atmosphere around them turned to a chilling one.

Eric's eyes were puffed and seemed like they would jump out of their sockets in a bloody show.

Seeing this view, the chubby guy was shivering and trembling like a small blade of grass on a windy day. He didn't understand what was happening at this moment.

A big fear and anger started to take root inside his soul. He was afraid of Eric, but he still wouldn't give up on the professor, she was his.

He would never allow anyone to place his eyes on her.

But that didn't last long though, only a breath's moment, after that, Eric recollected himself, even though, his breath was still rough, and his eyes were still bloodshot.

Recollecting himself, after those thoughts and memories, he realized that he had been too conceited. There was no way he could keep his cool in front of his brother and Tina.

He had to cool off a bit and think things straight. Thinking like this, he bumped once again that idiot that blocked his way.

Feeling the bump after that horrifying experience, the chubby guy immediately ran away from Eric, and went beside a garbage bin, and crouched there into a fetal position in fear.

He was terrified at this moment. it was his first time feeling the killing intent of more than a thousand years, built over mountains of corpses.

That was what Eric had to do in his previous future to reach his position, he had had to climb mountains of corpses, and rivers of blood, which made his killing intent, surpass Everest.

He wouldn't be surprised if that guy was left with a mental breakdown after feeling his killing intent. But now he didn't care much about the guy, now he was concerned about himself.

All that killing intent didn't damage only that scumbag but him also. His body was too weak and it couldn't handle all that pressure he himself released.

At the same time, he had to think of a way he could deal with 'his family'. If he couldn't stand even the thought of them, then seeing, and having them by his side was a long stretch.

But at first, he had to get a hold of himself, because it was painful as hell to even walk, or even look at the street.

It was a good thing that he had a lot of experience with pain. He had been so close to death so many times, he had been in tatters all those times, and he had been able to make it.

This was just a walk in the park, even though his body was in shatters right now because he was weak as hell.

He was walking dragging his feet, and with half-closed eyes, his backpack was still on his back, and his hands were against the wall for better standing, but he wasn't faltering in the least.

His steps were dragging but decided. His eyes were bleeding at this moment but still opened.

Like this, he managed to enter another dark alley and sit there for a while. He didn't stay in the first alley because it was too close to the main street, and that trash was there.

Sitting there against the wall, he closed his eyes and started thinking for a bit, but he felt like he didn't even have enough strength to think.

But he had no other option. He had to find a way to deal with his brother and his step-mother, Tina at home. He couldn't just go there and kill those two, and maybe even kill himself in the attempt.

First of all, he was too weak, and second of all he had to make them suffer for a long time, he didn't know how much he would make them suffer but it was sure as hell for a long, long time.

Some people might say that since this was another past for him, another timeline, maybe they would be different people this time.

But he didn't care. He had to take all that anger and revenge out on someone. And from his brother's words, he knew that they had been like that all the time.

Even now they were the same, they just hid their feelings better all the time. Too bad that he couldn't go back only a month more in time, to save his father though.

Yes, it was right, even though he was back in the past, his father was already dead, and he hadn't been able to turn back in time enough to save him.

In this new timeline, his father had more than a month that he had died. No matter how much he might have liked to come back and save him, he couldn't.

Even though he had 'The Legacy' divine artifact in his hands that could travel in time, he didn't rest much of his hopes in that.

He was sure that there must be some kind of crappy condition in there that wouldn't allow him to do it.

And there was even the case that perhaps his father was happy where he was now, he had no idea of where that was, but he would like to think it was a better place.

With these thoughts in mind, slowly his breath started normalizing and his eyes weren't bleeding that much anymore.

Slowly he was totally recollecting himself, even though his muscles were still burning as hell!

Damn, he was too weak!

He couldn't remember the last time his muscles had been aching and burning like that. But he was sure it was a long time ago though.

Now that he had a better grip on himself, he decided to look more at his system, he had to stay here for some more, and this place was empty and quiet. He couldn't think of any better place.

Concentrating on his conscious once again he said,

Eric:" System!"

And immediately in front of his eyes appeared the interface of his system.

It was the same interface of a while ago, simple but effective. The same three windows appeared in front of him, Status, Mission, and Shop.

He hadn't finished with his Mission Window yet, so he chooses it once again to look into more details.

Below the Main missions, there were the Daily missions. Selecting that window, immediately in front of him appeared a huge list of missions.

Mission 1: Run every day 3 km, the start to becoming the ruler of the universe starts with a perfect vessel to reach the highest peak.

Extra missions will be known to the host every day in the morning.

Eric was a bit startled, but he could understand the meaning of these missions. He was truly weak and needed to start training as soon as possible.

After all the system was pushing him to work harder in order so he could become stronger, and powerful.

It was like hitting two birds with one stone, he could become strong, and at the same time win experience and system points.

As for the penalties…
