Chapter 8: Buying and Using The First Skill (1/2)

“Train number 37 will arrive at platform two in 5 minutes,” a mechanical voice of a woman says.

Right now, I am at the train station which is the nearest one to Rebecca’s house. I had to walk up to here because I couldn’t find a taxi and thus, wasting 30 minutes of my time.

Fuck! It still sorts of hurts my brain when I think about the insane amount of points I am losing.

You can see it like this: it almost took me a month to reach the station…. This is so fucked up?

[Don’t worry, buddy! We will be earning some more in a few minutes…fufufu]

Ahh~ and this system…

I don’t want to speak to it loudly in public places. Thankfully, it can hear my thoughts too.

Hey, if I am not wrong, you were talking about buying that first skill, right?

[Yup, Beast’s Scent]

Isn’t it the one which costs 1000 life points?

[Yup, that’s the one!]

So, you are making me spent around 3 years’ worth of points which, even in my case, will give around three-quarters of a day. You know how hard it is for me to gain points, right?

[Yup!]

It better be fucking amazing…

[Ara, think of it as an investment. But in your case, you will get the returns almost immediately. “Good” returns, that is WINK]

Yeah-yeah, well, I can see the train coming…

Hey, you still haven’t given me the skill yet!

[Oh, yeah… lemme do this the official way.]

[Do you want to unlock “The Beast’s Scent” Skill? Answer in yes or no.]

Duh.

[Congratulation! You have unlocked a new skill: The Beast’s Scent.]

Are we done now? The train is stopping.

[Yup, all done! Fufufu, this is going to be fun…]

The train is a bit crowded as people usually go to work at this time.

All the normal public trains in our country have specific coaches. They are mainly separated for Men and Women. Further subdivisions include special coaches for the elderly and parents with children below the age of 17.

I am planning to go inside the general women’s coach.

Fuck! If this system is lying then I will be in a huge mess. But still, if things go right… it might become really interesting for me too.

The train stops, and people start getting in and out of it, but I don’t move. I need to wait some more.

It takes around 10 more minutes for everyone to get inside. The train is even more crowded now.

Then the doors start to close…

[Get in!]

I start running and jump inside the train as the door closes and a second later, the train starts to move.

“-“

Right now, I am standing in the general coach of women where everyone from the age of 17 to 50 travels.

I can see a few girls my age, some university students, mainly working women in their later twenties or early thirties and even a few that look like they are in their forties. And every one of them is staring at me.

My heartbeat is getting faster under their gaze and I am starting to sweat all over.

“Hey, you!” suddenly, a voice comes.

From between the crowd, the figure of a woman emerges.
