"My friend, my friend, I think you lack experience, or perhaps you've gotten rusty," said the man in the robe, moving without making a sound.
"What do you want?" asked the adventurer, somewhat frightened, as he felt three slight pricks pierce his back.
"Can you leave?" I want to have some fun in that mansion," said the man in the robe.
The adventurer smiled nervously and said:
"Yes, go ahead. I'll leave."
"Go, then," added the man in the robe, and then laughed.
The adventurer walked away unsteadily along the path that led to the city of the Viscounty.
••••
"It's not my fault. Yes, I'll run to the guild and report it. If they're dead by the time we get back, no one will mourn a few nobles in decline," thought the adventurer as he began to run down the road lit only by the moonlight.
"Why are you running so fast? Do you want to report this to the people in your guild?" asked the sinister voice of the man in the robe.
The adventurer lost his composure and rolled on the ground.
"I'll leave the city, I won't tell anyone. Let me go," begged the adventurer.
Laughter!
Laughter could be heard coming from the darkness. The adventurer urinated himself, remembering the detailed descriptions of what had happened at the Marfil hotel.
-You know, you're a 3-sun adventurer at the High level. You only lost easily because in your mind I must be a monster with a very high rank; that was your mistake. But you're in luck, I like fun games. Go to the city, find a family, and kill them brutally. Only then will I spare your life.
The adventurer felt his head throbbing. He was terrified. Although he was a cunning man, he had never harmed innocent people, let alone the weak.
Sigh!
"If I get bored, I get angry. I think I'll play with you," said the man in the robe with slight disgust.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!" cried the adventurer in terror.
"Do it quickly then. I don't want quick deaths. I'll be watching you," said the man in the robe maliciously.
••••
The adventurer ran hyperventilating, and when he reached a residential area in the city, he saw a house where a family of three lived. The wife had a flower shop, the husband was a sought-after carpenter, and they had a 4-year-old son.
"I'm sorry," thought the adventurer with tears in his eyes, as he used his aura to kick down the door of the simple but cozy-looking house.
...
Dylan listened from outside to everything that was happening.
"No! Leave my wife alone."
"Shut up, that's what you get for being a weak bastard." "I'll teach your wife what a real man is"
"No, stop! Please, I beg you!" pleaded a female voice.
A child was crying at the top of his lungs.
...
Outside, Dylan laughed, feeling a strange and satisfying thrill, and shortly after, the system informed him:
[Perverse Acts: +3 Perverse Points]
"I think it's time to go back to my room," Dylan thought as he walked away from the crime scene.
••••
The adventurer could smell blood all around him. Next to him lay the body of the carpenter, who had died after being stabbed multiple times with a spear, and next to him was the headless body of a child.
On a table lay the naked, lifeless body of the carpenter's wife.
The adventurer fell to his knees and covered his face with his hands. He had just regained his sanity, and his fear of death had passed.
"I didn't want to do it. They forced me. I must leave this city. Yes, they won't understand me," thought the adventurer as he stood up, grabbed his spear, and fled the scene of the heinous crime.
••••
[Mana +3 Perverse Points]
[Mana: 69]
"Well, well, just one point to reach the middle level of my current rank," Dylan thought as he covered himself with his comfortable blankets and then fell asleep.
The next day, the same adventurer who had spoken to the count visited the mansion to inform him of what had happened to the adventurer who had suddenly stopped guarding the mansion, who was now wanted as a criminal associated with an evil wizard, as the guild linked the two incidents as part of a group that committed macabre acts for simple personal satisfaction.
Dylan, who was in the garden, found out everything and was pleased with the outcome, as in the end the Ascan guild irresponsibly concluded that both criminals must have escaped together.
-Son, it's time for lunch. -Anelia called Dylan as they were going to meet in the mansion's dining room, where sometimes the whole family gathered for dinner when they had the chance.
"The Plant Fertilizer has been behaving well. It's a shame, I would kill it if I could get the missing point, but for now it's not worth my time. This system is very strict when it comes to giving points," thought Dylan, who looked at Hernan before going to where his mother and sister were.
••••
Time passed, and when Dylan turned twelve, he practiced magic spells in the mansion's garden.
He presented himself to his parents as a wizard with a rank of two moons at the intermediate level, which made them proud.
"Mother, Master Aram will be proud when he sees me again, won't he?" Dylan said happily.
But every time he mentioned his teacher, he could see the tension on his parents' faces as they pretended to be calm.
"Yes, you're right, your teacher will be happy with your progress," Anelia encouraged him.
"Mother, I want to learn magic too," said the beautiful Elena with a bright look in her eyes as she watched the cute animals Dylan had created with water.
"My beautiful and adorable daughter, we will hire a tutor to teach you magic," Anelia said sweetly.
"I hope they hire a beautiful sorceress, and not an old man like my honorable teacher," thought Dylan, who laughed sweetly and then said to his sister:
"I'm sure you'll be a great sorceress."
"Yes, I will," Elena said without hesitation.
At that time, Elena was 8 years old and about to turn 9.
