5 Chapter 5

My mirth rumbled in the vast emptiness of the desert. I had truly been surprised with the number that was reflected by my eyes.

1,000 shop points. HAHAHA! It was a full assurance of a second technique or a first item I would get to add to my already invulnerable position.

"Now what do I choose?" I whispered to myself after my laughter had fully subsided.

Items would be out of the question. What need do I have for external help when I was now truly invincible to any mortal danger? Hahaha! It was but a waste of my precious shop points.

"What do I want?" Money was easy as breathing. Power would also be granted to me at the same time I could have the financial capacity of emperors.

I could buy kingdoms and countries, easy. So what do I really want? My thoughts did not wander that far and long.

I want women. I desire beautiful lusty bitches that would fill my day and night with pleasures. One of the things I was denied with throughout the many years I was imprisoned.

"Now let's see what's nice here." I decided.

"Show me the techniques that would get me women. Anyways, what do i call you?" i asked.

"You can call me anything, host. I am a mere system assistant." it answered.

"Okay then. From now on, I will call you Nomad. HAHAHA!" i told the system.

"Affirmative, host." Nomad confirmed.

In a flash, a new list appeared before my eyes.

Search results:

1. Succubus' Charm - an ability of the dark race which could enslave anything and anyone you touch or see.

2. Siren's Call - a music that reaches not into one's ears but unto the heart of any living thing. (captures everyone who hears the song)

3. Gentleman's Touch - a technique that is used as a form of massage that instills lust unto its targets. The object of the power would die and crave for its master's caress.

4. Eyes of the Temptress - born to embody the will of the Fallen Deity. This skill was granted unto her descendants. Could seize the soul of any one you see.

5. Codex of the Alchemist - collection of all known potions and concoctions of the Warlock of the Far Abyss. (has recipe for love vials inside)

8. Ra Bloodline – a mythical family that was known for its bloods peculiar ability which can bewitch a person with its scent alone. (evolving trait)

.........

The words flowed and i took my time. Not like time was something i lack in this place.

After three hours of leisurely read, i finally got my pick for my second technique.

"I choose this one." i said to the invisible system.

"Are you sure, host? The choice cannot be reverted after you say yes. Please choose wisely." Nomad advised.

"Yes, I'm sure." I was determined in my decision. Second thoughts were for indecisive cowards, one that i was not. I have long lost my fear after the first man i killed with my bare hands.

In my thought, i was not worthy of salvation anymore after I've stolen that person's life. I thought then and even today that I deserved to die.

Since I'm doomed to damnation anyway then let me enjoy the ride in full, to the deepest pits without ever looking back.

"Affirmative, host." Nomad replied.

"HAHAHA! Time to go back and live life to the fullest! Rock and roll baby!" i roared and then my vision was replaced with emptiness.

"Sit down." the familiar words echoed in my ears.

And after one blink and my eyes adjusted to the new scenery, I could not help but smile at the beauty before me. Life was good, I concluded.
