The Helper [C12]

In the living room of a house in an unknown location.

[Quest Success: Tame the Will of the Scythe of Doom! (Revenge special!)]

[Quest Difficulty: S-]

[Quest Reward: The Scythe of Doom + 30 BS points.]

[You now have 33 BS points.]

[You have freed the 3 trapped souls!]

"AH! I'm finally back!"

Stood a young child with a scythe bigger than himself in his hands, wrapped behind his own neck. It is Shu Himo, who just came back from the extremely strict lessons from the old man Dark King Dragon. "That old man sure is talkative! It must be because he was alone all that time... At least he explained well and now I gained a new skill! Status!"

[Shu Himo, 6 Years old]

[Hp: 100%] [Mp: 153]

[Strength: 4.1] [Resistence: 1.5] [Agility: 4.5]

[Dexterity: 12.2] [Intelligence: 15.3] [Wisdom: 16]

[Realm: Body Strengthening] [Stage: Muscle Strengthening]

[Skills: [Intimidation lv_1], [Hopper lv_1].]

[State: Can you hurry and level up please?]

[The maximum stats for Muscle Strengthening phase is 20!]

[Hopper lv_1]

[Allows creating an invisible solid platform mid-air to stand. It can also be used as a way of propulsion, creating a "double-jump". Limited uses in mid-air based on level, max consecutive uses at lv_1: 2]

Seeing the skill, Shu Himo felt satisfied, while he needed a whole week of training inside that realm for learning [Hopper], it was worth the effort.

"Seems like my stats increased a bit especially dexterity thanks to the training for the skill Hopper, what about the stats of the scythe?"

[(High-grade growth Sky Weapon) The Scythe of Doom]

[Passive abilities: [Fear lv_5], [Bloodshed], [loc/ked].]

[Growing weapon requirement: Taking the lives of enough worthy enemies. 0/10]

[Unlocking next Passive ability requirement: reach low-stage Legendary quality.]

"Oh? The passive ability 'Bloodlust' became 'Bloodshed'?" slightly confused, the only solution was to ask the system. "System, can you give me the data of the passive abilities Bloodlust, Bloodshed, and Fear?"

[Fear lv_5]

[Passive skill that causes distinct fear to approach the scythe to anyone based on their realm and willpower. It doesn't work at all on cultivators from Nascent soul and higher realms. Beware of idiots, it doesn't work on them.]

[Bloodlust]

[Cause the wielder of the scythe to go crazy and rampage to gain more possible kills.]

[Bloodshed]

[Absorb the blood essence of cultivators deemed worthy that got killed by the scythe. The wielder will gain a temporary buff of 10% stats each kill for the duration of 10 minutes.]

"So that is the reason for the existence of those previous two tests... System, how much time was I out?"

[0.3 seconds. The time used in the dimension of the system's shop has a different time-speed.]

"I see... then it's time to go out of this house and finally see how this new world is with my eyes!" Ignoring the existence of the memories of the previous Shu Himo, the new Shu Himo considered this the first time he stepped into this world. And for once his feeling was normal, in fact, the system needed originally multiple hours of integrating the memory to make it feel like information instead of something that happened to himself, all to avoid getting split-personalities; The only thing that was not severed by the system were the feelings connected with other peoples, that got deemed as useful by the system.

Shu Himo upon going out of the house expected two possible scenarios: the first was the wilderness, the second was a city, most likely into a poor and abandoned area. What he instead found was different from expectation, he was surrounded by completely armed Dantian Core Formation realm dudes threatening to take his life.

Startled for a moment, he let out a "Who are you all?" Only upon seeing the logo in their armor, he finally noticed: "The Shu family elite troop? What are you guys doing here?" Expecting an answer, his expectations got betrayed again as they completely stopped moving, seemingly on tilt.

"Ehm..." Unsure of which bug hit their brains, Shu Himo decided to wait until their Brain.exe decided to restart.

The reality is that the Shu family elite members were completely shocked by the fact that their young master was standing up as if nothing was happening. What happened to their rescue mission? Did they chase those kidnappers for nothing? Was all that a joke? After a couple more moments, the brain.exe of the captain started to restart and he finally asked: "Young Master, you weren't kidnapped? What's happening?" The other members also looked intensely at their young master, waiting for the first time in their life an explanation from him. His answer almost sent them into a frenzy.

Having a chance to release a bit of stress from the teaching of the old man and the sarcasm from the system Shu Himo felt like acting cool talking big words:

"Kidnapped? Those fools that dared kidnap me are all now punished with death. If you don't believe me feel free to enter the house and check, you will find all three corpses."

All the soldiers were completely shocked, and daring not believe the words of their believed lazy and weak 6 years old young master they went into the house to check: How could their young master even kill those kidnappers? Seeing his current cultivation he was under two phases of the leader of those kidnappers!

"It's true! There are three corpses in the house and signs of fighting!" Only upon hearing the returning man they finally accepted the reality, they did not think it was Shu Himo, but someone that helped him, someone unknown, but why would someone help him? Similar questions occurred in the minds of all of them but none managed to draw a convincing explanation. When some were about to ask Shu Himo about how the three died they heard the latter talking.

"Now then, let us depart toward the City of Arsia! Oh! Where are we now anyway?" Finally noticing that they were in the middle of a forest Shu Himo asked the others.

Caught off guard by the sudden question the captain forgot to ask about the death of the kidnappers and immediately introduced himself. "Young Master, my name is Hains, you may ask me anything; If you follow us we will return to the City of Arsia immediately."

Arsia. The name of the City of the capital of the Kingdom of Arsia. The Royal family all have the surname of 'Arsia', from which came the name of the Kingdom and the City which act as capital.

Said that they started to depart toward Arsia immediately, and remembering his question, Hains asked Shu Himo: "Anyway, Young Master, may I ask who was the helper that killed the three kidnappers?"

Hearing his question, Shu Himo immediately replied: "Helper?" Smirking then continued to speak "Do you really think I need help to kill a couple weaklings?" Thinking back to the old man Dark King Dragon during his three days of training, Shu Himo felt his legs weak, he considered even fun call those three weaklings, they did not even deserve to be mentioned at all, worse than ants.

Surely, hearing his reply Hains looked at him with a weird face and thought: 'Weaklings? Did you forgot you got kidnapped by those weaklings?' But surely he would not say it at high voice.
