'You have leveled up to level seventy-five.'
Not long after finishing off Sato, Marcus heard the message from the system that he had leveled up.
Normally he would have felt a sense of elation from this, but this time it only left a bitter taste in his mouth.
He had done what he had to do to protect those he cared about. Still, killing someone that originally came from Earth just the same as he did was not easy.
'Would I end up exactly like him if Mrazivý or Lilia died?' Marcus thought, picturing a grim future in which he cast off all of his morals.
He already knew he had the capacity to turn into a truly horrifying monster. One bad day was all it would take for him to potential snap.
"But that's not happening today."
Marcus watched Mrazivý approaching him with a reassuring smile on her face. From her expression, it was easy for him to tell that she was trying to comfort him.
