'I am tired...' Before coming back to the village, he b.u.mped into some trees to make his story about they beat him again more realistic.

He was entered his hut and fell on the bed.

A next day morning. As he predicted, people came to ask about their whereabouts. Rose couldn't hide the truth. She wasn't person lying to her family and friends.

Knock! Knock!

"Aron, are you inside?" One of the villagers asked.

"Hi. What's up?" He opened the door, his appearance was pitiful. It didn't hurt him at all, but he faked pained expression.

"Did you see, blacksmith's nephew and his friends?"

"Look at me! They beat me until I pa.s.sed out yesterday. f.u.c.kers... I got beaten and you all are worried about them. Leave..."

They were aware of the personality of these people and didn't talk to Aron anymore.

'Good luck with searching! They won't suspect me, anymore.'

He closed the door with the key and entered his farm s.p.a.ce.

The b.l.o.o.d.y bodies were lying there.

'I hope, I get used to this feeling. I shouldn't be sad about cleaning trash.'

He appraised these people.

'It's a shame I take more skills from them. They wouldn't need them anyway.'

He felt pain in his eyes, the vision blurred for a moment and his sigh improved by many folds.

'Sigh of the eagle. Heh, and still being trash's dog.' His eyes still hurt, it was weird. Most of the systems changes were fast and pain would fade after a moment but this time it was different.

'What happened to my World energy?'

[The plundering has always a price. Changes in the host's body are done on the genetic level. The system uses in this process.]

'What if I don't have enough WE to plunder something?'

[It will be added to the database and it will be added to the host body after host gathers sufficient amount of WE]

'I need gather more WE. I didn't think much about how many things can be converted. Let's do some tests!'

'Can I convert corpses into WE?'

[It's possible, you can convert only dead into WE. You cannot convert living people. The system has an additional rule, the being killed by the host will give 100% of WE and others will give 10% of the original value.]

'That's stupid. Both things are the same.'

[The same but different. Your game is your loot, someone's game is stolen loot.]

'Game logic... What the h.e.l.l'

He converted the bodies of these people. The amount of world energy for every one of them was something around 30 to 50.

[World Energy: 323]

Although he wasn't living in Roger's house, visiting him was something natural. Today, Roger was more gloomy than usually. Aron didn't know the cause, Roger certainly didn't care about a bunch of sc.u.m so what's wrong.

"Roger, I see that something is wrong. It's disturbing that you don't complain and shout at me as usual" Aron was concerned about this old man. The survival without Roger would be hard.

"Kid, I don't want to talk about it. Just go and do your things."

"You can always talk to me. I will listen and help if needed."

"Ok, kid if you put this way. Let me tell you something. A few years ago, I had a wife and child, yet one day they were taken from me."

"I don't understand. Who took your family from you?"

"These f.u.c.king bandits! I won't forgive myself. I was hunting on that day. When I came back, the only thing I found was the body of my wife. You won't ever understand. Feeling of lose and helplessness."

Aron remembered the time when he lost Alice in his previous life.

"The pain will never go away. Nothing can erase this pain. Revenge is useless as it won't bring the dead back. There is no way to get back, what's already lost" He said that with a feeling of melancholy and turned around to leave.

"If you want to learn, how to become hunter come here at dawn," Roger said with weak voice.

Aron wasn't wandering around the village as he felt sad.

'I cannot forget you, Alice. Why did you leave me?'

A few moments later.

'It can't continue like this! I need to go forward! FOR HER!'

The bow was almost repaired, although he wasn't the best bow maker. He could actually copy this design.

Next day dawns.

The boy came to Roger and waited for him. Roger opened the door and invited him inside.

"Before, we start. I want to ask, you some questions."

"Ok"

"Did you kill these idiots?" Roger asked straight away, the question was hard. If he answered honestly. There was a risk of Roger exposing him.

'Whatever, if he exposes me. I will leave the village.'

"Yes, I killed all of them and got rid of their bodies."

The Roger's face had a weird expression, but he smiled and said.

"You know, a day after they disappearance you came here. I could smell death from you. I know that they deserved this but remember one thing. Lives are important and even lives of sc.u.m. If you lose your morality, you will end up becoming a monster."

"I know, Roger. There is something wrong in your sentence. Their lives did more evil than good. They were a disease with only one cure."

"Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Your secrets will be safe with me. I am grateful that you trusted me with this matter."
