Chapter 15 - Wake Up As Mafia Boss (1/2)
The moon hung on the c.u.mulus clouds had disappeared as the wind coming from the east blew. Yet, one light from the surface had to illuminate both sky and earth, turning it into flashy and bloody ashes of death. The smoke came from the burning warehouse floated up to the merged with the clouds. And its color underneath had changed from dark to red as the wind continued to interrupt the meeting between it.
The man who shot powerful tier magic vanished from the crime scene.
The craters from the second floor had drastically destroyed and the walls slowly collapsed on the ground. The surface covered with ashes and corpses had slowly split up into two opposite directions. There, this crack caused the secret tunnel to reveal itself. Inevitably, some scorched raw materials such as woods and crates fell down into it.
A newspaper floated down near to the scattered with scorching body parts of one corpse. It suddenly struck in one metal stick and a magical crest appeared from the thin material.
[Mission Complete: Subjugating the enemies without taking lives. Success.]
[Virus Detection: The user is now dead. All body parts are scattered and scorched from the powerful tier spell.]
[Virus Detection: Due to the successful completion of the mission, the user will be given an exemption and will be rewarded.]
The content of the newspaper changed into a new page. Inside the scorched upper body, a tiny gooey liquid had been appearing on it. It turned black and formed a cylindrical shape like a normal size of a soccer ball.
[Evil God Slime: Scanning the whole field. Scan completed. ]
Its body spread across the devastated warehouse and picked up all the body parts scattered around there. From here on, the corpse had suddenly returned into a shape of a healthy n.a.k.e.d young man with black hair after the black cylindrical shape swallowed all of the parts and went inside through its body.
The creature went outside in the form of a tiny marble and began to scan the place again.
[Evil God Slime: There are spirits and souls scattered in the place had been confirmed, sinners. The number of souls is around fifty thousand including those from the past and present loose spirits.

The same process had repeatedly kept doing by the creature until it reached the level it wanted to achieve.
[Evil God Slime: Collecting all the loose spirits around the place. The user is now on a high-level mindset and uncontrollable progress. The user is now authorized to fully use the armor according to its will. Collection completed.]

A new notification had appeared to the newspaper, while the gooey liquid marble rolled down, forming an unknown magic circle around the corpse.
[Virus Achievement: 'Grim Ripper Level' achieved successfully. Ten thousand years ago, a pathetic human being died from exhaustion and starvation from the years of slavery. His soul met the Grim Reaper and refused to be taken into hell. The soul fought back and successfully stole the weapon.

The magic circle around the corpse started to illuminate the place. A large amount of mana emitted on the ground made all of the surrounding things to be thrown away from the strong air pressure. The black gooey liquid marble entered the corpse, and a large explosion once again burst around the place.
The villagers who were still awake saw the light coming from that place. The bandits who were patrolling the next block struck up from the terrifying purple light that appeared from the sky. It vaporized the clouds by its tremendous light beam and made the moon stood alone.
Finally, a large number of black-suit men arrived at the place and investigated the place.
”What's going on here?” a light-skinned male, who had short spiky blonde hair with bangs that were brushed to the left, and lime eyes, said. His attire consisted of a black blazer, worn buttoned above a grey shirt, and black trousers with a brown belt around his waist. His footwear was a pair of black boots that went underneath his trousers. ”The…. the place is completely wiped out. Hey, does anyone of you had witnessed what just happened recently?”
”No, sir.”
”Crap, we need to find who's responsible for all of this. Anyone… Does anyone find any clues around here?”
”Sir Jerald, we found scattered body parts around here. We also found a small-ranking emblem of our clan.” the henchmen showed him the object, ” That thing has a name underneath, sir. It is noted as Rag's property.”
”Rag? Who's that?” Jerald tilted his head with confusion.
”Sir, Rag is just a low-ranking member of the clan.” With that response, the henchmen noticed his leader's smirk. ”S-sir? Sir Jerald. Sir Jerald, you're spacing out.”
”Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to. Anyways, lieutenant, order your comrades to clean up all of the messes and garbages around here. As the assistant of the Underboss, I shall be the one to report this issue. Alone. Give me all of the important details and report it after you guys finish it.”
”Yes, sir.”
”Hey,” Jerald pulled him back and whispered, ”Whatever you saw and found here must not be leaked out from the other high ranking officials residing here. Remember, this is just a small issue and not a big deal. But no matter what happens, just doctor the doc.u.ments to your leader. Y' know who I meant right?”
”Sir, the capo―”
”―Sssh,” Jerald covered his mouth with his other hand placed on his lips. He said in a low tone, ”I told you not to say those people. Listen, you'll get a profit from this if you cooperate with me.”
”Sir, I'm already working with you. But still, I'm under the leadership of 5th Caporegime Patioche Woale. It is against the oath of ―”
”― I can guarantee that you'll get profit from this. You'll get a large sum of money and a brand new car if want to.”
”I'm not very hooked with money, sir,” the henchmen turned black while thinking about the money. ”But, a car? That's too expensive. You can't afford that though.”
”Of course,” Jerald placed his face near him. ”If you don't want to cooperate, say goodbye to 50,000 luzers.”
”I'm in.”
Jerald grabbed his hand and shook it, he said, ”Good decision. You'll never regret it. Now go before the others suspect us.”
The sun rose up and illuminated the whole place of Neue Fiona Village. The villagers came out of their homes and started their daily activities and a new routine.
Inside a place that no one's willing to live, there's a young black-haired man laying down on his wrecked white sheet bed. His face was covered by a black mask and his whole body was covered by newspapers.
His eyes half-opened after the sunlight hit his face. He felt dizzy at first but he got used to it. His upper body raised, chin up and down and cracked his neck from left to right. He stretched his arms and got up from the bed. He removed his mask and cleaned his eyes.
His face hit a hard and solid metal bar infront of him after he stepped forward. His eyes finally opened wide and his consciousness had finally awakened. He, surprised, was no idea why he's here.
”Oh, you're finally awake, huh,” said a man with a village guard suit. It had the same color as the Sheriff but the difference between the two, it had no logo on their c.h.e.s.t.
”Gah, my head,” Hermes placed his mask back to his face and turned his gaze at the guard. And he asked, ”Hey, why am I here?”
