Ch 16. Servant Skill and Kewal's Past

Outside Dalton City – Wilderness

Mohan and his men stood frozen, fear gripping them as Jit's cold gaze swept over them.

Jit took a step forward. "Tell me, Mohan. How do you know my name? And how did you find out I lived in Block D?"

Mohan hesitated, his lips trembling. "I... I g-got your information from the Warrior Guild..."

Jit narrowed his eyes. "The Warrior Guild? it's illegal to leak information about warriors, right? So tell me… how did you get it?"

Mohan stammered, sweat dripping down his forehead. "W-We... we have an insider there..."

Jit clenched his fists but remained calm. "Good. Warrior guild don't know about my abilities. And since I've already changed my address, they don't have my updated information either."

Jit change the topic

Reaching into his storage, Jit pulled out a blood pill and held it up.

"Are you here for this?" His voice was calm but carried a dangerous edge.

Mohan remained silent, his body shaking slightly.

Jit's eyes flashed. "I said—ARE YOU HERE FOR THIS BLOOD PILL?!" His voice boomed across the wilderness.

Mohan flinched, his face turning pale. "H-How do you know its name?!"

Before he could react, Jit slapped him across the face, sending him stumbling backward.

"You still haven't answered me properly. Are you here for this blood pill?"

Mohan clutched his cheek, his fear growing. "Y-Yes! Yes, we are!"

Jit's expression darkened. "Are you really killing people just to make this kind of pill?"

Mohan's eyes widened in shock. "H-How do you know that?!"

Jit's voice dropped to a deadly whisper. "So it's true… You are making these pills from humans."

He clenched the pill in his hand. "The Tiger Guild isn't a warrior guild… You're nothing but monsters."

Jit took a step closer. "Tell me, what were you doing in the dense forest last time with this pill?"

Mohan hesitated, then finally spoke. "I was... I was waiting for someone to deliver the pill to them."

Jit's eyes narrowed. "Who was it?"

Mohan shook his head frantically. "I don't know! I swear! I was only ordered to hand it over!"

Jit exhaled slowly. "You're beyond saving. People like you… don't deserve to live."

Mohan fell to his knees. "Please… don't kill me…!"

Jit reached into his storage and pulled out his sword.

Mohan's face twisted in horror. "Please! If you kill me, my brother will never let you go! Y-You—"

SHING!

Jit's blade flashed through the air.

A moment later, Mohan and all his men lay dead.

[You have killed a Level 32 Human – EXP +678]

[You have leveled up!]

[+5 HP] [+5 MP] [+5 Free Attribute Points]

[You have leveled up!]

[+5 HP] [+5 MP] [+5 Free Attribute Points]

Jit's eyes widened slightly. "I can gain EXP from killing humans too? And the EXP is even higher than monsters of the same level…"

Looking at the lifeless bodies, Jit frowned. "Unlike monsters, human corpses don't disappear after death… If someone finds them, it could cause trouble."

Without hesitation, he activated Super Absorption, causing the bodies and their belongings to vanish into pure energy.

[You are absorbing human corpse]

[+55 Energy point]

[+48 Energy point]

[+43 Energy point].....

"No evidence left behind. Good."

Jit turned to Ravi, who lay nearby, badly injured but still conscious.

"You're still awake?" Jit muttered, stepping closer.

Ravi's bloodied face twisted in rage. "I'll… kill you!"

With trembling hands, Ravi reached into his storage ring and pulled out a small red pill.

Jit's eyes flickered. "A blood pill?"

Just as Ravi was about to swallow it, Jit's hand shot forward, snatching it away.

"So even you had one…" Jit examined the pill before turning back to Ravi.

Ravi spat blood and sneered. "You're dead. The guild leader will never let you go. You'll suffer a horrible death!"

Jit's expression remained unreadable.

"I doubt that."

With a single swing of his sword, Jit decapitated Ravi, ending him instantly.

[You have killed a level 50 human ]

[+964 exp]

Testing the Servant Skill

Jit then walked over to Kewal, who lay unconscious. He raised his sword, ready to finish him off—

but then he paused.

"Wait… this guy had a black magician's ring… and that 'Servant Skill'…"

A wicked smile spread across Jit's face.

"Let's see if it actually works."

Instead of killing Kewal, Jit slapped him awake.

"Wake up."

Kewal's eyes snapped open. The moment he saw Jit, he lunged at him in desperation—

—But before his attack landed, Jit activated the Servant Skill.

Kewal froze mid-motion, his body trembling violently. His eyes turned blank for a moment, then…

He stopped attacking.

Jit's smirk widened.

"Well… looks like I just got myself a servant."

After successfully using the Servant Skill, Jit smirked and pulled up Kewal's status window.

Testing the Servant Skill

"Now… let's see how this servant skill actually works."

Jit narrowed his eyes at Kewal.

"Stand."

Without hesitation, Kewal stood up like a puppet responding to its master.

"Sit."

Kewal immediately sat back down.

"Dance."

Kewal started moving his body clumsily, as if his limbs weren't entirely under his control.

Jit smirked. "Alright, let's take this further… Cut your hand."

Without flinching, Kewal pulled out a dagger and moved to slice his palm—

"Stop."

Jit commanded just before the blade touched Kewal's skin.

The dagger halted instantly.

Jit chuckled. "So he obeys any command, even if it's self-harm… This skill is more terrifying than I thought."

Jit crossed his arms. "Tell me about yourself, Kewal. How did you end up with the Tiger Guild?"

Kewal's expression darkened as memories resurfaced.

"I was an orphan… I grew up in the Block D orphanage with my younger brother." His voice was low, filled with regret. "Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a warrior to earn money, to give my brother and the orphanage kids a better life."

He clenched his fists.

"But when I turned 18, I didn't awaken."

Jit remained silent, listening.

"I was desperate… so I borrowed money from the Tiger Guild. They offered me a contract if I worked for them, they would make me a warrior."

Kewal's eyes filled with bitterness.

"At first, I thought it was just a guild… doing dirty work for money. But then I found out what they really did."

He looked at Jit, his voice trembling.

"They make blood pills from humans."

Jit already knew, but hearing it confirmed from Kewal made his blood boil.

"When I realized the truth, I wanted to leave… But the Tiger Guild wouldn't let me." Kewal's voice cracked. "To keep me under control… they killed some of the orphanage children."

Jit's fingers curled into a fist.

"They threatened me… If I ever tried to escape, they'd kill my brother and the rest of the kids."

Kewal's shoulders slumped.

"I wasn't strong enough to oppose them… so I kept working for them."

Jit exhaled slowly, his rage simmering.

"The Tiger Guild isn't just a criminal organization… They're worse than monsters."

He looked down at Kewal.

"But now… you're my subordinate .That means you no longer take orders from them."

Kewal lifted his head, eyes wide.

"I… I don't have to follow them anymore?"

Jit smirked. "No. From now on, you follow me."

For the first time, a glimmer of hope appeared in Kewal's eyes.
