Adam walked pass an alleyway when he heard a lady's scream. He rushed to where the scream came from and saw three men harrassing a girl in uniform.
It was rare to see Adam laugh nowadays, but he couldn't stop himsekf from laughing. It seemed the other personality which was hard to configure had relieved little control for him this time.
"Hey, hurting ladiesis wrong!" Adam voiced with confidence without showing any emotions at all. He had seen a little bit about life that he wasn't scared of anything. He saw his enemies like the abnormal beast that took his friends to the afterlife. How bad would he deal with them.
"Little punk, don't interfere in our issues. You should mine your own business before you get killed." The second man said as he laughed mockingly.
"Is that so? Then I would appreciate your invitation, because it is also my business." Adam didn't wait for them to react. His lips curved into a smirk as he dashed with imense speed.
Bang!
Adam knocked out the all-talk-and-no-strength guy with a loud and solid punch to his abdomen, which sent his body flying to a distant wall.
"Good physiccal strength. How about you test what the power of awakening is. A kid your age won't be able to awaken an ability." The first man said as he bit his index finger, which his body reacted to. He quickly transformed into a human-bear.
The notification only made Adam smile even more. He actually overestimated his opponent jus because of his prejudice for bears. Really crazy.
Adam didn't spare a breath before he lungged forward and landed a solid hit on the first man's chest, only to repel back the force, thus inflicting damage on himself.
"Little brat still overestimating his capabilities? My employer wouldfeel amused by your performance. Do you know he's a genius that awakened his ability when he was twelve years old? such a genius sh.....Demon!" The man couldn't continue his bragging when he saw Adam again. He couldn't believe his eyes anymore. Wasn't his boss the only genius in Kyoto city?
"You made me do this old man! You should have ran away. It's about time you saw your creator." Adam's face remained expressionless as he went again, this time, targeting the man's heart.
"Here we go!" With only a short sentence, Adamgathered momenta force into his attack which he used his electric crackles to overload."PULSE!"
Bang!
Color drained from the first man's skin as the attack reached him. It was inevitable at that point. He saw his life fading slowly until he was dead, with one regret. He died of an overkill.
"Sooo, are you speaking up, or waiting to die?" Adam packed enough energy into his voice which made both the girl and the last of the men shudder in fear.
"It was Sir Lucas of Fehlington family that hired us for the job." The man couldn't bear the pressure and spilt the bean. It was a pity Adam couldn't let anyone survive, so he killed him.
Adam didn't wait for the girl to gain his attention or call him back. He left like nothing happened, like he didn't need anything in return. Who said so? Hejust felt the determination to become strong again, with extra points.
"He didn't even give me is name. I'll have to call my dad about this, and also to make him my bodyguard. I must by all means get to know you, Mr. Demon!"
A day had past since the last incident at the alley. Adam got to rent an apartment after collecting his loots from the three men. He had to admit that those scumbags really got paid handsomely, and they really dared to hold as much cash when they go somewhere. Adam was at a bar, drinking some beer like what some men dus. Ge was still underaged sine he didn't have an ID or a liscence, which might prove hectic.
"It's their badluck for offending a little girl. Well I think I got a skill book from that mission, and some awards. Let's see."
<150 potential points to learn>
Adam drank a bottle of beer before closing the system interface. "I wonder how it would be like when learning another skill. Last time was torture, or should I say 'worth passing through'?"
Adam thought before opening the system interface again, this time accepting to learn this new skill. But what suprised him was that he didn't feel a 'death wishing' pain like the first time. It was a light sting and refreshing feeling, giving Adam a stable and secure feeling.
Adam was completely dumbfounded. This was what many people would wish to get their hands on. What passive skill could be as great as this one?
"I think luck is on my side again. A new skill to boost other skills I had and I would have in the future." Adam wanted to laugh it off, but he couldn't. So he continued to drink until he reached his limits.
"Hey, Kid! You haven't paid the bills yet!" The bartender screamed at Adam, which he shrugged at in his drunk state and left some cash on his table.
The bartender was shocked to see a lot of money on the table that he care about what he was about to say next.
"He really left seventy-five Dollars instead of twenty Dollars. I'll keep the change, kid."
