Chapter 19: 19- First Job

19- First Job

Seeing me approach towards him, he too moved towards me and his mouth was close enough to my ear and I was waiting for his words.

Suddenly, the man used his both hands and gripped my neck. I did not notice his actions as I lowered my guard due to my guilt and 'kind' heart. When I felt the man's tight grip around my neck, only then did I realize that I was fooled or it was my foolishness that led to me being lowering my guard. And now I am going to die if I don't get out of this crisis.

The man was using his strength to kill me or was even trying to break my neck and take me along with him to the afterlife. It looked like he was using his remaining strength. I was panicking and lost control and couldn't put up resistance.

As I realized that, I was losing strength; I tried to remove the man's hand but could not do it. Realizing that, I hit the man's neck and all the other areas where he was wounded. I remember that the pain was staggering and maybe he fought with someone and got injured

He had a deep cut on his right hand and it looked like the man has taken healing pills before losing his consciousness. Now it has healed around 50%. And he also has been stabbed near his abdomen and shoulder. So, I took advantage of these areas and hit these places and the throat area where I had stabbed him.

After repeated strikes to his wound he loosened his grip. As I saw an opening, I kicked his throat with full force and the man completely let go of his hands. After getting free, I once again distanced myself from the man and I saw him clutching his throat.

As the man was still in pain, I grabbed a nearby stone and gripped it tightly. And circled around the man and quickly hit the back of his head with the stone. And I hit repeatedly until he was bleeding.

After hitting few more times, the man was once again on the ground and it looked like he was really dead. As I wanted to confirm whether he was dead or it was another trap, and got closer to the man; when I heard the system notification

'ding'

'host killed a Demi-human level cultivator'

'Obtained 2000 exp'

'Due to the enemy being injured a lot, the host can only gain exp equal to the amount of damage the host has done to the enemy and killed him'

'Level Up'

'Level Up'

'Level Up'

'Level Up'

'Level Up'

'congratulations host has obtained 50 free stat points and due to levelling up consecutively 5 times, extra 15 free stat points have been obtained'

Seeing all the system notifications, I confirmed that the man died. I picked up his storage ring and searched his body for any belongings. After searching, I wanted to dispose of the body, but suddenly I heard rustling sounds and felt that someone was approaching. I took all the belongings and ran into the hollow tree. As soon as I entered the tree's interior, I heard the system notification again,

'ding'

'Congratulations, host has completed the task for activation of a job'

'Congratulation the host has activated the job 'thief' '

'Does the host want to equip the 'thief' job'

'yes' or 'no'

First, I was excited but after I completed reading the system message, I was stunned and then my face became ugly. I mean what the fuck does the 'thief' job means? Just because I killed that man and took the valuable, it doesn't mean I am actual thief. Just as I wanted scold the system and its 3 generations of ancestors, I heard some people's voice and immediately tried calming down and tried to make no noise.

As the people got closer, I could vaguely hear the voices and it looks like they are having conversation.

------------------------------------------

"Sir, over there, near the river there is a person lying and it looks like he is unconscious or dead"

Shouted someone and it looks like that person saw the man who was killed by Raj/Orochi.

Gradually the group of people got near the dead body and immediately exclaimed.

"hey, it's the young master"

"quick check there is so much blood loss, if anything happens to the young lord we will be hanged to death and our family's fate may be even worse"

"How come young lord get so severely injured"

The group of people were dressed in guard clothes and it seems to recognize the man Orochi killed, while from the talk of this group it can be concluded that his identity is also not ordinary and it seems to be the young master of these group.

-----------------------------------------

Actually, I think that since being levelled up, some of my stats rose and my 'sense' stat also rose; which resulted in improving my 6 senses. So, even though the group of people were talking in normal voice but they were still several meters away from me. And due to my cultivation being crippled, I should have normal strength and normal senses, which means I could only hear to limited distance but due to rise in stats, I could hear their conversation.

When they recognized the man, I killed and also called him young master, I was sweating and felt that if I had been a little slower in hiding or killing the man, then I would be surrounded by those guards and would either killed or my fate would have much worse.

It looks like a got myself a new group of enemies and will have to remain vigilant, or else my life will be in danger.

As I was thinking about what should I do now, I heard one of the guards

"OH MY GOD!!!"

Hearing the guard shouting, one of the guards who looked like the leader of these group frowned and asked,

"Hey, why are you shouting and what happened"

Hearing the leader asking, the guard was stuttering

"its...its...its the young lord...the young master is dead "

Hearing the guard, the leader and others were shocked; and the leader moved towards the 'young master' and checked his body.

After carefully watching, the guard leader was shocked and gradually he was sweating. Seeing the leader's reaction, the group were convinced and started trembling.

They knew that they were assigned to accompany the 'Young Master' and were responsible for his protection but now the young master is dead and they have failed their duties. And it can be imagineed that as soon as the clan knows about this, they will be hanged to death and their families can also be involved.
