9 Chapter 9 ~ Ludtleth & Malice (2/2)

He waved his hand, then a black whirling air appeared, he took out something from it.

He handed me a book…

It's small like the size of note but a bit bigger, it's plain black with a bit of disoriented silver lining and a symbol at the top left. Hmm… looking at it closely, I know of this symbol; this can only translate to one thing… Hunt.

I opened it, the book contains several names of monsters (?) and their whereabouts, the reward for killing them and several other info.

”That book will be your payments for those mortals. But of course, I will reward you just the same as what has written there.”

Flipping through the pages and I found many, unique monsters I haven't heard about, except for one, it's quite surprising to see him on the list.

I thought to myself, 'What a heavy price, it's as if I'm being extorted'

Suddenly, the sound of a [Notification] popped up in front of me.

[Ludtleth Kill List] (Multi Quest Chain)

Details: Kill the designated targets written in the book, with each kill Ludtleth will reward you and your relationship with the Abyss will increase.

Rank: D-SSS

Recommended Level: 50-800

That's insane, in my past life I only able to reach level 960, indeed the highest-level player is more than 4000 back then, but still, this is 4 years from those times, I don't know the standard average of the player level now.

I'm not sure I can do this, but since it has no time limit, I guess I can take it easy?

Nervously, I nodded in response.

”Very good,” he said.

He waved his hand as if signaling for Malice, it seems he already know why I'm here for, then I wonder why he was surprised when he saw me.

Malice grabbed my hand and dragging me to her… room.

She went to grab something from the closet, the place is so tidy, I don't think it will take long

Looking around, I was impressed.

This place is decent, it's better than the rest I've seen of this place.

Even though still, there are many skulls everywhere, and the bed looks like it's being made from human bones and other bones, though it does look comfy with that soft… Mattress (?)

I don't what that is.

There is a mirror here, a plain old one but large enough for two or three people to see themselves together, I went to take a look at myself there.

Mirror or anything that has reflection is being used as a way to look at Status and other Interface function if one has not ranked up, although at somewhat limited usability.

Many other things are being locked before reaching that level, it's as if anything below level 20 is still a demo, and you need to pay a hundred dollars to experience the full game.

I look at myself, even though I was healed, the scars on my body are still there, but surprisingly my body is not dirty… maybe someone has washed me?

'Did Ludwig do it?'

I shook my head, 'No way, that's stupid. Why would he even care my body is clean or not'

In any case, I'm glad that at least my face is untouched.

I don't want it to be ruined now that I finally have the chance to use it… without anyone commenting on it… at least not anyone that I know…

Reminded of the past… I feel sadden.

'I wish I can meet them…'
