Looting

"So strong..." Ren muttered in amazement. But right after, his face twisted in disgust as he doubled over and vomited all over the ground.

"Ugh… I should've mentally prepared myself before committing murder," he groaned, wiping the residue from his mouth.

However, when his eyes fell once more upon the carnage before him — a bloody, gore-filled scene that looked like something ripped straight out of a horror movie — with rivers of blood pooling around the mutilated corpses, organs spilling out grotesquely in every direction, his stomach churned again. Unable to hold it in, Ren vomited for a second time.

"Fuck… I really underestimated my own mental strength," he muttered helplessly, trembling slightly. "I didn't expect seeing this kind of gore in real life would be so much more overwhelming than just watching it on a screen."

He had assumed that watching gore videos online had prepared him. Reality, however, was far crueler and far more intense.

Not wanting to continue puking endlessly, Ren quickly opened his [Mall] system and began browsing for a solution. Before long, he found exactly what he needed:

[

Name: Indomitable Will

Description:

A power that grants the user an unbreakable and unwavering will. It protects against all forms of mental suffering, pain, temptation, or overwhelming pleasure that would normally crush the minds of ordinary people.

With this power, the user becomes immune to any mental attack, trauma, or emotional instability.

Cost: 0

]

Satisfied by the description, Ren purchased the ability without hesitation. The moment it integrated into his body, every disturbing emotion vanished in an instant. All lingering unease and anxiety melted away, leaving him in a state of perfect calmness.

Even worries he hadn't realized were hiding deep inside him disappeared completely, leaving him utterly relaxed and free of care.

"If I knew it would feel this good, I should've bought this skill from the very start!" Ren chuckled, smacking his lips in satisfaction, fully enjoying the serene, worry-free state his new ability had given him.

After that, Ren approached the corpses one by one and began looting all the valuables they had. Honestly, it was completely unnecessary for him—he had the [Mall], after all, a system that could provide him with any treasure, wealth, or item from across the entire universe.

But still, he proceeded. He was simply curious — curious about the feeling of looting enemies he had personally defeated in real life.

Once he had finished stripping every last bit of loot from the bodies, leaving the corpses completely naked and utterly humiliated even in death, Ren walked away with a wide, satisfied smile on his face.

His safe, unharmed appearance didn't escape the eyes of several people nearby—those who had secretly followed the robber group from the tavern. They stared at Ren in shock and confusion, trying to comprehend what had just happened.

"He's safe? What the hell?" one of them blurted out, utterly bewildered by Ren's intact condition.

"Did they spare his life?" another asked, scratching his head. "But that doesn't make any sense… Black Lizard's style has always been to kill anyone they rob. They don't leave witnesses alive."

"I can't take it anymore! How about we check the alley ourselves?" one of them finally suggested, unable to suppress his curiosity.

The others agreed instantly.

Driven by their burning curiosity, they cautiously made their way into the narrow, dark alley, ensuring Ren was no longer in sight. However, the moment they set foot inside, regret instantly filled their hearts, along with sheer horror at what awaited them.

Blood. Corpses. Internal organs.

Those were the only things that filled their vision. The horrific and disturbing scene looked like something straight out of a brutal horror film. The gruesome sight immediately assaulted their minds, and just like Ren earlier, they all bent over and vomited uncontrollably.

After several agonizing minutes of retching, they weakly glanced at one another. Their faces were pale, drenched in cold sweat, and their eyes filled with absolute terror.

As the dreadful reality sank in, chills ran down their spines.

Had their greedy hearts given in just moments earlier, they too would've undoubtedly ended up like the mutilated corpses lying before them.

Now back to Ren. At this moment, he was walking through the town, searching for an inn to stay at for a while. As he walked, people around constantly stared at him.

It wasn't surprising — the clothes he wore were completely different and looked strange to the medieval citizens of this world.

After walking for several minutes, Ren finally found a suitable and decent-looking inn. Without hesitation, he entered and paid for a one-night stay.

Entering his room, he found a simple single bed with a small cabinet next to it. Although it was plain, Ren felt quite satisfied. After all, he couldn't expect the same level of luxury as the hotels from his previous world.

"At least the bed is soft and comfortable," he muttered as he sat down, then laid himself on the bed.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind drifting over everything that had happened to him today.

From his sudden appearance in this foreign world, obtaining a cheat, creating a system, and eventually… taking someone's life for the first time.

A lot had happened—full of ups and downs. For an ordinary person, all of this would have been exhausting and overwhelming. But that no longer applied to Ren, who was no longer ordinary—neither physically nor mentally.

I hope Father and Mother won't cry too much over my disappearance…

Ren thought sadly. He knew full well what might be happening to his family, yet there was nothing he could do but pray for the best for them.

Big brother… little sister… I hope you two can take good care of them.

With that final thought, Ren slowly drifted into the world of dreams, where he saw his family giving him their final farewell.
