7 Steal (1/2)

To be honest, when he first compared the deal he was offered by Charles, the main difference he noticed was that in Charles' proposition, he would be protected by other officers, while in his deal he would be on his own and would need to kill to get rewards.

But he had disregarded the quarters offered by Charles. Only after having spent the night in the cold did he understand how important this was.

He himself had almost died from the night, and he had a Vitality higher than the average human. A truly average person would have certainly died.

When he saw the sun shine on him and felt the temperature slowly increase, he did not move immediately but instead stayed sit. The truth was that his body was almost frozen, and he feared he would injure himself if he moved.

Dorian was unwilling to spend another night like this one, and he actually knew a way to solve this problem, but it simply went against his ground rules. If he entered a random house and slaughtered those inside, then he would be able to sleep in a warm bed.

But he was against slaughtering innocents. He strangely didn't feel much after killing the gangsters, but just thinking about killing innocents made Dorian disgusted.

Dorian had a lot of time to think during the night, and he actually came up with an hypothesis about his strange behavior. He couldn't be sure about his indifference to murder, but he guessed that having felt nothing but boredom for years played its part.

As for his unwillingness to kill innocents, he was sure this came from his parents. His father is a doctor, and at home, when he felt bored, Dorian actually happened to talk about human life with his father. And somehow, all those years of exposition to the importance of human life made him unwilling to kill innocents.

Of course, those were simply theories. He couldn't say for sure right now. All he could say was that he was cold, and the following day would be a hard day.

Because he had nothing else to do, he decided to check his status:

Dorian was stunned as he looked at his status. He didn't expect his attributes to lower so much. All attributes dropped by two, and his agility by 3?
