My Wants To Kill Me - Chapter 9: Chapter 9: You are a pervert!

He looked at Alice with a wry smile on his face. She felt something weird and was about to stand up to leave, but Ryder caught her hand and pulled her towards himself.

His lips again touched hers as he kissed her once again. Just like before, he freed her immediately.

‘Slap!’

A loud sound echoed in the house. Alice walked back to her room and closed the door of her room.

Ryder simply stood there with a red palm print on his cheek.

‘Alright, I deserved it… Wait…I didn’t! Janus deserved it’ He thought in his mind, but didn’t say it out loud. He didn’t want to be zapped again for spilling information about Janus.

He said up and left for his room before Janus could give the same mission again.

“Janus, can you tell me one thing?”

Ryder asked Janus after he closed the door of his room.

“What does the host want to know?” Janus replied.

“You’re secretly a pervert, aren’t you? Making me do these immoral missions?” He said to Janus in an annoyed tone.

“Janus is not a pervert. It’s the host that chose to kiss his sister despite having another choice of paralysis. The host would be considered a pervert.” Janus gave an unexpected reply.

“You asshole, Don’t mix the words. If I chose to paralyze myself, it would be the same as failing the main mission and risking the life of Alice.”

Ryder cursed out loud. He wished to strangle Janus but unfortunately, Janus wasn’t a physical entity.

“Anyway, where’s my reward for my side quests?”

“Your reward has already been provided to you. You can open your inventory to see the rewards. The purchase points have been added to your account as well. You can use the points to purchase things from the system’s store.” Janus answered him.

“Inventory? How do I access it?”

He couldn’t understand what Janus was talking about.

‘Inventory? Did he take that term out of that game and gave me a similar inventory?’ Ryder thought.

“Just say ‘Janus open inventory’ to access the inventory. Host can say ‘Janus open the store’ to access the store” Janus answered Ryder.

“Janus, Open the inventory!” He followed Janus’ instruction and said.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a semi-transparent screen appeared in front of his face.

‘I was right! It’s similar to the inventory of the game. Looks like Janus took some ideas from Divinity.’ Ryder though as he observed the inventory which looked strikingly similar to the inventory of Divinity.

There were around 20 boxes in the inventory screen. The first box had a pill-shaped item with an ‘X2’ Mark at that bottom of the box.

He tapped on the box and a description appeared on another screen.

“Strengthening pill: Consuming the pill can increase the strength of the person by 50 percent.” These were the words written on the second screen.

‘What the hell? A single pill can increase my strength by 50%? Doesn’t that mean that these 2 pills would increase my strength by 125%? That will make me twice as strong as I am right now!’

He grew excited just at the thought of it. The pill was really miraculous and might actually be able to help him in his main mission.

He double-tapped on the first box and a pill appeared in the air. It floated in front of him.

The pill looks like a normal medicinal pill, it was not too big nor too small. He smelled the pill, and that’s where the real difference came in. Unlike most of the medical pills, the red pill in front of him had a way pleasing smell.

After an initial hesitation, He placed the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

“My body… it’s burning up.”

He could feel his body heating up. That feeling disappeared in a few seconds and everything returned back to normal.

“Am I stronger now? I feel no different?” He muttered with a confused look on his face.

He walked towards his bed. He had two dumbells that were placed near his bed. He bought those so that he could exercise in his room.  Wuxiaworld for visiting.

Although he was a lazy man, he never forgot to do some exercise in the morning. Each dumbbell had a weight of 10kg.

Hr picked a dumbbell and couldn’t help but be shocked. He had no trouble picking it up. In fact, the dumbbells felt a little too light. He used his left hand and picked the dumbbell from it as well but there was no difference. The 10 kg dumbbell was way too light for him now.

“Awesome! Although I am now considered a pervert, the rewards are really awesome.” He smiled as he placed the dumbbells back to their original place.

The inventory still hadn’t disappeared. He double-tapped on the first box and the second strengthening pill also appeared in front of him.

The first box that previously held a pill icon was now empty.

He grabbed the pill and swallowed it immediately. That burning feeling again came from inside and disappeared soon after.

‘Janus, close the inventory.” He said to Janus. He didn’t have to ask him about how to close it, as he was able to guess it easily after learning how to open it.

The inventory disappeared.

‘It’s really like fantasy. Everything feels so impossible, yet it’s happening right in front of me. So magical.’
