30K

The forest's wall that was used to keep animals in came into view. Without a second thought, Zero dropped his right pinky and willed a whip to materialize before slashing at the wall. The whip made contact with the wall before slicing right through it. Without pause, Zero repeatedly slashed the wall until it simply crumbled away, and with it his pinky broke.

Zero was mere feet away from leaving the forest when pain stabbed at his right shoulder and leg. Zero cursed as he stubbled over the walls rubble before pain laced up his entire right side. Zero slammed face first into the dirt, the sound of yelling beasts becoming louder and more frequent. 'Now that they have paralyzed me, they come to claim there reward.'

Zero tried moving his body, but it was useless. The poison in his shoulder had traveled down to effect his entire arm, and the one in his leg had caused it to completely go stiff. 'Hey, reaper, will I survive using my chest again?' Zero didn't have time to wait for an answer as the screaming voices were right on top of him. 'Screw it!' Zero willed a Death Beam out of his chest, and the familiar burning sensation started to build in his chest once more.

The pain was just as bad as he remembered, however he was prepared for it this time. Zero felt four more blades stab him in the back, however he simply ignored them and willed himself to simply stay conscious. As the power in his chest reached its peak, Zero felt relief as he let out a small sigh before passing out.

Zero opened his eyes, finding it was now bright out. 'Its already day?' Zero tried moving his body, finding the poison was still partially there. 'Window, heal the poison.'

-Notice-

Souls are only able to heal the Hosts body back to healthy. A potion will be needed to cure the Poison.

Zero sighed at that information. 'Of course it will.' Zero asked the for the shop to open, and searched for Lowest Grade Poison Cure. He wasn't shocked in the slightest when he found the lowest cure he could find cost over 20,000 souls. With nothing else to do, Zero remembered he had put the two remaining tokens in his left sock. 'Window, use Information Token.'

-Notice-

Lowest Grade Random Information Token has been consumed by the Host.

-Notice-

Information-A shade will take the shape of its souls orig-(ERROR)

The information on the window suddenly became blurry before the entire window itself started to violently shake in mid air.

-Notice- WARNING ERROR

Infor(error)ion- Race to 30k souls. -Fykin

Zero knew from the information shown on the original window that it would have told him something he already knew, so he had no issues with Fykin changing it for him. 'Before, he always simply sent a Window I had seen before. This time however, he changed the words themselves, I wonder why he wasn't doing this before?'

Zero sighed and looked at his soul counter, pleased that it now showed five digits instead of four. 'I have 11,989 souls, and Fykin told me to race to 30 thousand souls? That number would be easy to reach if I find a colony of ants or bees, but I doubt humans will hunt anything but fellow humans with a few exceptions. That means I should target the Hosts that are not human while cleaning any that ARE human.

(In the blank white room)

Fykin struggled against the four chains that had latched onto each of his limbs and were holding him suspended in the air.

-Notice-

We have allowed you to watch, so WATCH!

Millions of the same window ranging from the size of a hand to that of a bus filled the never ending white space. Fykin simply sighed as he had had figured he would be a consequence if he messed with the window, and there for the system itself. 'Looks like I will not be able to help the boy for quite some time.' Fykin let out another sigh at his predicament. 'I can finally get some rest. I will try to help you when I am able to boy, until then, simply rush to 30k.'
