IDOLIZING CHAOS

Entering Dark Python's cave

                Stealth? He had the system, although it hurt him to spend his Yuan points and experience points for that like a pound of flesh forcefully cut from his body; he still clenched his teeth and called out

“System, Open Skill inventory, Search for High grade ‘Stealth techniques’

[Ding! Skill inventory Opened……..]

[Corpse Laying Technique: Hides all auras from the user’s body, making him seem dead.

 Heat negation: Cancels Out all Heat radiation from the user’s body

 Forest Shadow Technique:  Be one with the wild, Camouflage yourself as a shadow, using all natural forest……. As cover

Buy all he anxiously commanded. There was not any more time to dilly dally. The fight in front of him would soon be pulled to a close, After buying all the new skills, he calmed his heart and activated them, then tip toed stealthily round the ongoing fight. With his heart up in his throat, he waited for the best opportunity to pass through.

“Growl!” Hearing the world shaking roar he tensed up. The Butcher Titan Ape was still angry, the fresh blood spilling from it’s body made it to go mad with rage!.  It used its reinforced arm to attack, smashing the old Snake and every other blood blade it puked out, it also used it’s legs to force the Snake away when It came too close, lest it use its dreadful venom on it. The snake pair of eyes were very cold, ‘How dare this lower ranked ape dare to challenge it’s supremacy in this side of the forest, one word DEATH!” It rushed forward like a black flash of light and an explosion sounded as it struck the back of the Butcher titan.

“Now!!” Aeries exclaimed in his heart as he rushed forward, straight into the deep forest.

       After successfully passing through, he released the breath he didn’t know he was holding and calmed his heart, if he had been a second slower or clumsy enough to step on even a twig, he would have alerted the demon beast and by now, be in any random one of their stomachs. It wasn’t hard finding the path that lead to the Snake cave, he just had to follow large slithery prints the snake left in it’s wake on the ground, until he finally reached the cave.  Just the sight of the entrance to the cave alone, brought shudders to his spine, Piled on the floor were broken skulls of Martial cultivators and even demon beast that it had ruminated out.

                “For Just this once, am going to trust you on the grading of this mission, System. Don’t let me down.” That’s right, the only reason Aeries was still on cloud nine was because on the rank of the mission…. A D Ranked mission, he remembered that the mission for “Defeating Evil Mercenaries” was an A- one, So he compared it and figured that the risk wasn’t much. In fact he was right!, The mission was already considered a close when he had safely crossed the raging fight, The next part was just to quickly loot the cave and leave before the Snake king comes back, the anxiety seemed to increase with every step he took, bones of different partitions of both humans and monsters filled the entire road. He immediately used his concealing technique to hide his aura and follow through.

        At the end of the path, he saw a large deep space in the inner cave, just like a crater.  In this place, it was even more silent and not even a single blade of grass inside the valley deep crater except a large expanse of bones, there was two high heaps like a miniature mountain, a nest built from strips of the very hardened dark wood was in one, sitting on a very large rock.

 There were a few large bones littered around the nest, giving out a very suffocating feeling around it. Inside the nest, Aeries saw the only remaining habitats in the cave, some fat little pink snakes curled around each other for warmth, although it was said small, they were each close to 2 meters in length and he couldn’t help but distance himself from them, ‘who said little dogs don’t bark.’  

The next mountain was actually a large treasure heap, with countless treasures; Swords, shields, monster precious horns, teeth and claws that couldn’t be dissolve in the stomach of the Snake and space rings were littered around.

    Not wasting any more time, he immediately sent a thought and channeled all the things in to the Space ring. He reminded himself again to find the time to sort and arrange all the loot he had gotten from all his escapades. This here was the largest gain he had made since he stepped into the blood forsaken forest, while in his euphoria, he was congratulating himself thoughtfully. 

    “Aiya, the system knows me well, what, what heir to the throne or other nonsense title people use to flaunt around, I prefer being the Dark Horse.”

 He was the kind of person who didn’t long to be popular for anything in his previous life. Just staying in seclusion with his family with lots of money flowing in; He preferred making lots of money silently only to fulfill the quest for achievement in his heart, rather than making money and be known throughout the world for his great deeds. Humph, this introvert Sigma male says

   ‘What can one gain after being popular, it’s too much of a hassle, a prefer the peace in solitude than the haggling of life, robbers and kidnappers……. I just don’t want to near lots of people, because really people can be so……. Mean. '

 In his previous life, that could be considered his pipe dream, there weren’t much open spots in the market for him to earn money that way.. … At least in a legit way. But in this world, he he he, as long as one had the strength, he could garner lots of money without even moving from his spot, no FBI or INTERPOL to go around sniffing his trial.

                Aeries soon became befuddled, what bothered him was that even after taking all that loot, the System hadn’t prompt any notifications about the completion of this mission. It seemed there was more!

“I really can’ stay here for long…… Maybe I should just…….” Before he could complete this thought, booming sounds could be heard from the entrance of the cave
