Chapter 48 - Street Thugs

{DING!... CONGRATS TO HOST FOR LEVELING (Spatial Travel) UP TO LEVEL 05… HOST CAN NOW RIP THROUGH THIS WORLD'S DIMENSIONS}

After around 4 hours of constantly using Spatial Travel Soren had finally leveled it up to level 5.

[Yes!... Now I can head back to the Human world]: soren

Soren then ripped a gap into the space before him and jumped in, when he came out he was in a dark alleyway.

[Where did I end up? Sakura do you know?]: soren

{HOST HAS RANDOMLY TRAVELED… ONCE HOST LEVELS UP (Spatial Travel) TO HIGHER LEVEL HOST CAN START TO GET CLOSER TO THE DESTINATION THAT HOST WANTS}

[So you're saying that I could end up being thousands of kilometers away from my intended target until I level up Spatial Travel more?]: soren

{HOST HAS GUESSED CORRECTLY… CURRENT POSITION IS ONLY 40km AWAY FROM HOST'S INTENDED DESTINATION}

[At least I'm not too far from the place I wanted to be at]: soren

Soren began to walk out of the alley and head towards his old home, as he was walking out of the alley he meet with some highschool thugs who were hanging around the alley.

[Well look at what we have here boys]: highschool thug

[What do we have boss? HAHA!]: lackey 1

Soren was surrounded by 5 people who looked to be straight up delinquents, so he spoke up to warn them.

[You are better off forgetting me and going on your own ways]: soren

The boss of the delinquents started to feel like he was being looked down on by this person in a mask and black dress with some armor pieces.

[Hey kid it's not Halloween, and go away? Are you insane? Cough up all your money and we might let you walk away]: boss thug

[Yeah! Tell him Boss! HAHA!]: lackeys

The group of 4 that stood behind the boss of them started to cheer their boss on while laughing.

[Okay…]: soren

[That's what I wanted to here… You are just a kid who was trying to bluff your way out of this but I'm just too smart for you HAHA!]: boss thug

Soren then walked towards the boss of these thugs and reached in his pocket.

[That's right! Give all of it HAHA!]: lackey 2

Soren then pulled his hand out of his pocket and placed his hand in front of the boss of these thugs and when the boss reached out to receive what was in Soren's hand, Soren turned his hand over sticking out his middle finger and then said.

[Fuck off or die!]: soren

The boss of the thugs face began to get red when he saw that he was taken for a ride by Soren and only to be cursed out and given not money but the finger.

[Kid you messed up, our Boss has beat up many and put them in the hospital for weeks at a time]: lackey 3

[Yeah! Now we gotta beat you up to show you just who you are messing with]: lackey 4

[Enough!... I will take him myself, he has made a fool of me]: boss thug

Soren gave a sigh and then beckoned the boss of these thugs to come close so he could whisper something to him. When the boss seen this he smiled and got close to Soren, and then soren got close to his ear and put his hand up, as to stop someone from reading his lips.

[Can we take this into that alley please, that's where I would like it to happen]: soren

The boss understood what Soren meant, he wanted to get beaten up in private as to save some face.

[Boy's… Stay here, I will be right back]: boss thug

[Yes Boss! Hurry so we can go eat with his money afterward]: lackey 2

[HAHA! Yeah sure… Okay kid let's do this]: boss thug

Soren started to walk down the alley with the Boss thug walking behind his to make sure that Soren doesn't try to escape.

[Here should be good… Okay let's do this]: soren

[You're a smart kid but you just meet someone who you can't match today, I will make sure to end this quickly and for revenge I will strip you of your clothes as payback for giving me the finger]: boss thug

Soren gave a smile that the boss thug couldn't see because Soren still wore his mask.

[I would like to say one last thing, can I?]: soren

[Go head I will wait, don't take too long though I got plans with my boy's to eat after this]: boss thug

[...You're a smart kid but you just meet someone who you can't match today, I will make sure to end this quickly and just because I think it's funny I will strip you of your clothes and leave you here]: soren

[You!...]: boss thug

Before the boss thug could finish his words Soren disappeared from his spot and punched the thug in the gut and then the thug fainted. Soren then began to strip him of his clothing and leave him next to a big pile of trash, then he began to walk out from the alley dusting his hands off. The group of lackeys saw Soren come out unharmed and not followed by their boss, they started to worry and asked.

[What did you do to our Boss?... Where is he?]: lackeys

[Your boss is asleep down there, if you want you can go wake him]: soren

After the lackeys heard Soren then began to rush to their bosses aid while avoiding Soren, Soren then began to walk towards his old house. The System gave him a direction to walk in so that's the way he started to walk, after around 3 hours of walking he made it back to his old house.

[Sakura, is there a skill that lets me fly in the store?]: soren

{HOST CAN BUY (Soul Control) IT LET'S HOST GATHER THE SURROUNDING SOULS IN THE AIR SO YOU CAN STEP ON THEM… THERE ARE NO SKILLS IN THIS WORLD TO ALLOW FLIGHT… HOST CAN ALSO USE THE (Random Skill) AND HOPE TO GET LUCKY OR HOST CAN USE (Flying Nimbus)}

[I don't want to use Nimbus because I want to feel what it's like to fly on my own]: soren

{THEN HOST ONLY HAS THE OPTION TO USE (Random Skill)... OR USE A WISH, WILL HOST USE A WISH?}

[No!... I will just buy the Soul Control skill… Can you get it for me Sakura]: soren

{DING!... HOST HAS BOUGHT (Soul Control) FOR (40.000 System Points) HOST HAS A REMAINING BALANCE OF (759.460 System Points) WOULD HOST LIKE TO BUY ANYTHING ELSE?}

[No, I will take some time to master this]: soren

Soren started to gather the Spirits under his feet and started to walk into the air like he was ascending stairs, as he started to get higher he began to falter a bit but caught himself.

[It's a bit tough to keep concentrated on holding the spirits]: soren
