The three days went by in a flash, and Celina's father would come back in a few hours. The sun was already about to disappear from the horizon, and Dorian arrived at Celina's house to plan for her father's death.

During those three days, Dorian made a great use of his time. First he killed 34 members of the gang, almost destroying the entire gang by himself. Of course, they hadn't just waited to be slaughtered, earlier that day all the remaining experts had tried to ambush Dorian.

Unfortunately for them, Celina had warned Dorian, who led an ambush himself, killing all of them.

He had gotten a lot of loot, which he kept in his newly made bag. Charles had been very quick and did a good job:

[Name: Spatial Bag]

[Type: Storage Item]

[Rarity: Green]

[Storage space: 5*5*5 meters room]

[Remark: This bag was made with a werewolf hide, crafted by a skilled craftsman.]

Even though he had gotten so many loot, Dorian was able to put everything in the bag, and that was really convenient. He didn't change any of the items he had on him as he never found anything better, but he still kept them to sell them latter.

Along with those, he found many books, including the three rewarded by Charles, which were all Basic abilities. Skills were rare, so he found none. But the books were still helpful as they helped his abilities to upgrade.

His status had thus changed dramatically:

[Boring Guy]

[Race: Human]

[Title: Butcher]

[HP: 160/160]

[MP: 130/130]

[Strength: 21]

[Agility: 17 (18)]

[Vitality: 16]

[Intelligence: 13]

[Perception: 20]

[Skill: Kidney Strike, Fade, Force Share]

[Ability:

[Basic Swordsmanship (Level 3/10)]

[Basic Hand to Hand Combat (Level 10/10)]

[Adept Dagger Mastery (Level 1/10)]

[Basic Sneak (Level 10/10)]

[Basic Throwing Mastery (Level 8/10)]

[Basic Movement Mastery (Level 10/10)]

[Basic Ice Resistance (Level 5/10)]

[Basic Fire Resistance (Level 2/10)]

[Basic Runemaster (Level 3/10)]

[Adept Meditation (Level 1/10)]

[Condition: -Hypothermia: Cold energy has infiltrated your body. Agility dropped by 1. If left untreated, the drop of attributes will worsen with time.]

[Equipment: …]

The ability books were often the same ones, but they still made his skills crazily go up. This power up was very important, and Dorian felt stronger than ever.

His Dagger Mastery passing to the Adept Rank was amazing too, Dorian felt his whole understanding about daggers change, as well as the way to use them. Many unnecessary movements were eliminated, and his blows became stronger.

But it also made him realize that the Basic skills were a mere warm up that only allowed him to overwhelm weak opponents. He also understood why it was so easy to get those skills books, it was because to go from Basic to Adept was very difficult.

Honestly, his Dagger Mastery had barely reached the Adept rank after three days of non stop killing, using only his dagger. It would take a long time for the rest of his skills to advance to the next rank.

It also helped him realized that those ability books weren't as valuable as he thought, and he wouldn't be able to sell them for much.

As for his Hypothermia becoming better, it was thanks to his Ice Resistance getting stronger. He hadn't found any books for it but now it even snowed during the day, so his Ice Resistance was constantly getting strengthened, although it wasn't by much.

His meditation ability was very useful as it allowed him to rest his mind during the night, without letting himself fall asleep, allowing him to ignore the danger from the night.

So thanks to those three days of hunt, Dorian was able to become a true superhuman, no normal person could hope to match him.

And that was the problem. Dorian actually grew bored again. His stay in this world had begun with excitement, as he had seen the endless challenges waiting for him, and thought boredom was finally a thing of the past.

Then, came the fear of death. Dorian was faced with his first encounters with death and became scared for his life, driving him to become stronger.

But in those three days, Dorian gradually became bored. All he did was stalking, killing and return to stalking.

The enemies posed no threat to him anymore, and the repeated actions was seriously annoying Dorian.

So when he arrived at Celina's house, he was incomparably excited, because he knew that danger was coming, and that meant boredom would soon be over.

As soon as he arrived, he saw that Celina was waiting for him, impatient too as it seemed. Dorian directly said "You did great in the past days, and now the time we have been waiting for is coming."

Celina looked at him, her rage appearing back in her eyes.

Dorian smiled and said "Great, you haven't lost your resolve. So what we will be doing is simple. Do you know what this is?"

He took out a red pill, it was the [Fiery Poison]. She shook her head. So Dorian explained "This is a pill known as Fiery Poison, which will scorch the insides of anyone eating it."

She looked at it excitedly and asked "You want me to feed it to him?"

Dorian shook his head and said "No, he knows what the pill is, and I'm not sure if it can be grind into powder, so let's make it simpler."

He pointed at a little rune on the pill and said "This is a magic rune. This allowed me to change the nature of the pill so that when it is crushed, it will magically form a fire arrow."

In the past three days, he had also been practicing his Runemaster ability on rocks to create this pill, which was why it had leveled up to level 3.

He handed the pill to her and said "Right as he comes back, before he can become aware of the losses the gang suffered, when he is still with the two other Stingers, you will join him. Then, you will talk about your 'lover's' disappearance, and beg him to help you find him. At that time, go for a hug, and crush the pill. The fire arrow will kill him."

She looked at the pill in wonder, but did not question him as she didn't know anything about magic. All she could do was trust him.

Then, the two began waiting, waiting for the Stingers to come…

Three hours later, the night fell, and three red robbed figures were making their way in the city. The guards guarding the door had already been disposed of, replaced by hidden gangsters.

Robert, the leading one, said "Those bastards were tough to deal with, but we finally arrived home… I swear, when we are finished with this shitty city I will never set foot on a mountain ever again!"

Another Stinger on the side chuckled and said "Tenth brother, you know it won't be long before our objective is done. First brother will soon take action."

Robert nodded but suddenly stopped because of what he saw ahead. His daughter was there, looking at him with teary eyes. Worry instantly overwhelmed him as he rushed at her, moving so fast that Celina could only see a blur.

Robert instantly asked "What happened?" His two colleagues joined him, looking at Celina curiously. Celina said with a sobbing voice "It's Hughes… He disappeared dad, I think the Butcher got him!"

The three asked at the same time "The Butcher? Who is that?" They didn't know about Dorian because he had appeared after they were gone.

Celina cried even harder and threw herself to her father, hugging him. Robert took her in his arms of course, and asked "Sweaty, I'm sure he is fine, I will send men searching for him right now, alright?"

But Celina didn't say anything. Robert stroked her hair and asked "Celina?" But the only thing he heard was "I'm sorry."

Celina crushed the pill.
