"Ding"
[You have killed a F rank esper and gained 100xp][You have levelled up to level 1 and all stats increased by 1 and you have also gained an additional stat point with 200 system points]"System am I dreaming?, if I am not then are you what he was after?" Felix asked the system while searching the body.[You are not dreaming and unfortunately yes, I am what he was after... ]"Don't worry about apologising, I don't blame you, now they are still looking for a book so I still have some time" Felix cut off the system as it was talking.[Actually I was going to say that they still don't know that I have merged with you so you have to burn down your shop]"Oh, you want to get rid of all evidence and make them think I an dead, I like how you think" Felix said with a grin as he heard what the system said.[Yes, you have to make them think that you died in the fire otherwise they will continue to send assassins after you]"Assassins, let them send more and I will kill them as I have killed these ones" Felix said with confidence as he found a card in his pocket, some F rank beast cores and the dagger.[You really think that you can kill a F+ rank assassin with your current strength, you forget that he hadn't used his ability not to mention the fact that he could have killed you with the powder, he only died because he underestimated you too much otherwise you would be the one on the ground]"Looks like he works for an organization called shadow, that is the only information on it" Felix said as he read examined the card.[You need to get stronger fast because a war is coming, take a look at your stats to see how weak you are]"Wow" Felix said with a grin as a transparent screen appeared in front of him showing his information.Name: Felix ArgusAge:25Level:1XP [0/200]HP:100MP:50System points:200Stat

skill is a pro at hand to hand combat and is able to execute deadly and lethal moves."Wait aren't this skills from my previous life, it seems that I was able to bring back the experience of the skills from my previous life" Felix said after thinking it through."So let me see, I gain XP from enemies and Beasts to level up, HP is my health points, MP is my mana points, stat point is used to upgrade my stats, strength is the amount of power that I am able to exert, agility is my speed, vitality is my health, luck is..well my luck, intelligence is how smart I am, so now what are the system points, how does the levelling work and why doesn't my ability rank show" Felix said what he had deduced and asked the system what he didn't understand.[You are really smart which shows from your 30 point intelligence, system points are gotten from killing enemies, it can be used to buy new abilities but don't get your hopes high, you can't even afford the lowest price at your current level but it can be used to upgrade your abilities also the leveling would need to be explained later because you have to leave now and lastly your ability rank doesn't show because I can't recognize it at my current level which may be because it is at a rank higher than SSS+]"A rank higher than SSS+" Felix said with shock as he almost fell to the ground."Who would have thought that my trash skill would actually be so OP, this is so cool, first I have to burn this place down then I will go visit an old friend" Felix said with excitement as he found a place to place the body after taking anything of value.After gathering all his important items, he went outside and set the shop on fire and as it burned, he stood there watching it but later left.As he left, he saw some people gathering and at first he thought they were coming to put out the fire but he later revealed a look of scorn after seeing them going in to steal whatever hadn't been consumed by the fire."A bunch of lowlife piece of shits, can't even at least pretend to put out the fire" Felix said with anger as he saw them stealing his books then left.He went through a bunch of confusing alleys when he thought he saw someone following him and arrived at a little pawnshop with the picture of a dragon on the sign.When he walked inside, he looked around and saw a short blond man talking to a plump red faced man who looked out of place with his extravagant clothing and as he walked towards them he could hear them arguing over a bracelet."This is not an ordinary bracelet, do you know how much I suffered just to get it and now you are telling me to pay 10 F rank beast cores for it, you better give me a fair price or I am going to another shop" The plump red faced man said to the short blonde man with dissatisfaction."Are you telling me that I don't know my work, if you take this to another pawn shop the price would be even lower and now you are telling me that my price is too much, if you don't like it then go to another pawn shop or to the Esper association if you want a "fair price", hmm" The short blond man said to the plump red faced man as he pretended to be annoyed."Do you think I can't do that, hmm, I only came here because I thought you were an honest man" The plump red faced man said with anger as he pretended to leave but as he reached the door, he stole a glance at the short blonde man but saw him tending to other business so he gritted his teeth and walked back to him."15 F rank beast cores or nothing" The plump red faced man said through gritted teeth."Oh you are back, I thought you were going to another pawnshop, out of the kindness of my heart, I will give you the 15 F rank beast cores" The short blonde man said shamelessly with a wide grin that made him look like a little devil."You..." The plump red faced man almost puked blood as he was shocked by the shamelessness of the short blonde man, he just told him now that the necklace wasn't worth 10 D rank beast cores and now he was willing to pay 15 D rank beast cores."Thank you for the transaction, have a nice day" The short blonde man said to the plump red faced man with a mocking grin as he snatched the necklace from him while pushing the cores into his hands.Even though he knew that he had been duped, There was nothing he could do but to accept the beast cores like that otherwise he wouldn't be able to leave the slums, he saw the way the people outside were staring at him, like a lion waiting to devour him and he was sure that if he got lost in an alley, he would for sure be robbed or even worse, he had heard a lot of bad stories about this place and he wasn't a fool."Have a nice day" Felix said to the plump red faced man as he walked past him fuming and that was only when he noticed that someone was standing near him but he was too angry to bother about him."Sup Dave, I see that you haven't changed much" Felix said with a smile after the plump red faced man had left as he walked towards the short blonde man who looked like he had just won the lottery."Oh Felix, I didn't see you there, looks like you also haven't changed much too, still having problems with teddy?" Dave said to Felix with a smile after seeing the bruises on his face as he placed the cores in his pocket as which bulged due to the numerous cores that had been crammed into it and Felix wondered how he could move around with all those cores in his pockets."Yeah same old, ever thought of getting a cash register, I still don't understand how you can move around so easily with small those cores in your pocket" Felix said with a laugh as he stared at Dave who looked funny with his bulging pockets."Have you forgotten where we are, do you think I would waste my breath all day just to have all my precious cores stolen" Dave said as he patted his pockets as if afraid that the cores would disappear from them."Could you wait for a moment, I have to make an important call" Dave said to Felix as he took out a phone from one of the numerous pockets on his trouser."Yeah it's me, I have a great artifact I know you will love, yes and it's a necklace, the price, well I would give you the best price I can, I'm how about 100 F rank beast cores, oh you know me it's just business, when have I ever tricked you, yes you can come for it at any time, goodbye" Dave chatted with the person on the phone for a minute the cut the call with a smile on his face."Okay, what are you doing here by this time?" Dave asked Felix we he walked over to the door of his shop and placed a "closed" sign."Um I need your help but first I need a place to crash, can I stay here?" Felix asked Dave as he went through his pocket looking for something."Yeah sure, you know that you are family but what happened to your shop" Dave asked Felix as he opened his door and looked around before closing it and locking it."It kind of burnt down, it's a long story which you wouldn't want to hear" Felix said to Dave as he handed him the dagger he got from the assassin"I need you to find out what you can about this dagger" Felix said to Dave with a grin as he saw the look on his face when he handed him the dagger."Wow, this should be a D-rank weapon at the least but I have to use my ability to confirm it" Dave said with shock as he placed the dagger in his palms and then a warm light suddenly appeared on his palm as he closed his eyes."Ding"[System has detected a F-rank detection ability "Analyze"][Would host like to steal it, the cost is 200 system points]As he heard this, the edges of his mouth rose to reveal a smile."Ding"[System has detected a F-rank detection ability "Analyze"][Would host like to steal it, the cost is 200 system points]As he heard this, the edges of his mouth rose to reveal a smile."Yes" Felix said in his mind as he stared at Dave's hand."Ding"[Stealing ability (1%..29%..54%..76%..99%..100%)][You have spent 200 system points and gained a new skill "Analyze"][Analyze][Level 1]Rank:F+Cost:100 mpDescriptionIt enables the user to see the stats of an item."Its aura is shows that of a E Rank weapon but the pressure and the appearance of the dagger shows that it is of a higher grade" Dave said with exhaustion as he handed the dagger back to Felix unwillingly."Where did you get this dagger, I would like to buy it but don't worry, I promise to give you a good price" Dave said to Felix as he stared at the dagger with stars in his eyes. "Sorry but I am not selling, I have enemies after my life and if I tell you about it, it will only put you you in danger" Felix said to Dav
"I found him, I need help to find the book" Felix shouted at the door to the nearest assassin after switching his and the assassin's clothes. "I came in and met him sleeping and and as I tried to kill him, he rushed me so I slit his throat" Felix said to the man when he entered the room as he imitated the first assassin's voice."Oh where is the body? "The second assassin asked him so Felix led him to the body of the dead assassin."Good job, wait isn't this 1's tatt..." The man said as he recognized the dead assassin's tattoo but was cut off by Felix who immediately stabbed him in the head before he could raise an alarm. "Ding"[You have killed a F rank esper and gained 100xp][You have levelled up to level 2 and all stats increased by 1 and you have also gained an additional stat point with 200 system points]As he levelled up, he felt a cool stream of energy flow through his body, he felt refreshed and his mana was refilled."Whew, that was close I need to be more careful, add th
After leaving the shop, Felix headed straight to an inn where he booked the most expensive room and ordered food and medical help. In the slums, crime was their motto so if someone came into an inn with blood stained clothes and a dead body, as long as enough money was paid, you were never there. "The reinforcements should have arrived but since I didn't leave any tracks, as long as no-one sold me out, it would take long before they track me so that gives me enough time to get my things together and get stronger, system how do I become a F+ rank Esper?" Felix asked the system after tending to his wounds and eating the food provided to him. [Every 10 levels promotes you to the next rank so when you reach level 10, you will be promoted to a F+ rank Esper, you have 7 more levels to be promoted to the next rank]"That's a long way to go, I will think about it in the morning" Felix said as he lay in bed to sleep because he was exhausted and he needed to rest for his injuries to heal. I
[You have killed a F+ rank Kreed and gained 200xp and 400 system points]"Isn't that a kreed, how did you sense it" The man said with a shocked expression as he looked at Felix like he was a monster, kreeds were one of the medium non human tribes but they were know for their stealth, it was almost impossible for someone of the same level to notice a kreed so kreeds were sometimes feared because they were lethal assassins but right now this man before him had sensed it and killed it instantly."Why is a kreed here, aren't they found in the darkness continent" Felix said with surprise because even he was shocked by the appearance of a kreed, he had sensed it's presence long ago but since he had not sensed any bad intentions from it he had thought it was one of Connors men but immediately he sensed the slightest killing intent from it, he had attacked with his full strength."Yes they are, so it being here shows that something is wrong, please excuse me, I have to report this to the patr
"Who is he, what family is he from, how powerful is he" The proud man's thoughts kept racing as he stared at Felix who was being attended to by the manager himself, the manager who could wipe out his entire family. "Thank you sir, is that all?" The manager asked with a smile but secretly he was surprised, he also had a storage ring but his was obtained through hard means and he was also surprised by the calmness displayed by Felix when he spoke to him, he was used to people treating him with fear and respect but this man in front of him showed no fear."Actually no, I would like to buy a high levelled bow" Felix said calmly with a smile as he received all the daggers which had been carefully packaged then placed them in his storage ring. "Okay sir, right this way" The manager said with a smile as he led Felix up the stairs to the second floor. "Let's go, we have nothing to do here" The proud man said as he walked out of the shop without waiting for the beautiful woman or his guard.
"Okay straight to the point, I see that you are a straightforward person, I would be making a trip to the F rank beast forest to hunt and also gain experience and I want you to accompany me" Connor said with a wide smile as he explained his mission."So first you send someone to tail me and now you want me to accompany you to a hunting trip, what do you think I am?, a mercenary?" Felix said angrily as he glared at Connor who smiled in return."Please forgive me for my rudeness, I just thought you wanted to gain some experience, we will be on our way if you don't mind, we won't disturb you ever again" Connor said and turned to leave as he pretended to be sorry, an act which didn't fail to be recognized by Felix keen eyes."Wait" Felix said as they were about to leave, it wasn't that he didn't want to go but it was just too suspicious for him, he couldn't just want to build up good ties with him, there had to be a catch and why did he keep on smiling, it irritated him. "Did you change
"The target has gained the help of the Alexander family but that shouldn't change anything, kill them all and eliminate the target at all costs," The leading purple-cloaked figure said in a voice that could send chills down one's spine, they quickly followed the group.Meanwhile, the targets were already encountering monsters that were easily taken care of, Felix knew that he could gain experience from killing these monsters but he wanted a monster that could challenge him and raise his battle intent, so he left these for the others who finished off these monsters easily, without even using their abilities.The others stared at Felix weirdly, especially Pig Face who gazed at him smugly thinking that Felix wanted to act mysteriously, but he didn't know that even if he acted normal, to others Felix would be mysterious, he just possessed that aura of mysteriousness.Connor just smiled like he knew what he was thinking, he also wanted to fight a monster that could challenge him so he only
He was thinking of how to escape when the Ape glanced straight in his direction with one eye, and immediately he locked eyes with it , he lost control over his body, at that same moment, all the monsters rushed towards him, this scene caused Felix's heart to skip a beat, it seemed like he had screwed up big time.His camoflague ability was also deactivated so he was clearly visible to the approaching monsters. This was exactly what he was afraid of, the One Eyed Frost Ape was as skilled in soul attacks as it was in physical attacks, and the skill it just used on him was called "Soul Chains" and he knew that it could kill him instantly but it wanted him to be ripped apart by the raging monsters."System is there any way that I can escape, I can't move my body" Felix asked the system with a panicked tone. [There is a way but it isn't available to you at the moment]"So I am doomed" Felix said and for the first time since he arrived in this world, he showed genuine fear which seemed to
