Chapter 5: Hunting

I open up my eyes and look around. It looks like I’m just dreaming. I get up, but before I could get away from my bed, I feel something falling off my chest. I pick it up and widen my eyes. It looked like it was not a dream.

I pick up the card and see a ‘press me’ written on it. I press the word, and suddenly two blue panels appear in front of me.

|Riser Phenex|

|Race: Devil|

|Class: C| |Bronze Membership|

|Patron: Shub-Niggurath|

|Soul Points: 100|

{Debt: 150}

I close the identification panel and read the second one.

|Congratulations for signing a contract with Slutlife Inc. As a bronze member of Slutlife Inc, you have to gather at least one hundred souls to your patron every three months. If you do not fulfill this, you will be eaten by your patron….|

Dammit. I did not ask the woman about my duty. At least it was only one hundred souls every three months.

|This duty only happens for the first year of your contract. Your patron also did not take away your soul point from this duty. Every soul you send to your patron will become yours. There will be a mission sent to you by your patron or the company. You can deny the task and request, but we hope you accept it if there is an urgent or important mission. You can reject the urgent mission, but it will displease your patron and the company. There is a reward for every mission.|

I release a relief breath when I read the first sentences. I only need to gather four souls in total before I am released from soul collecting duty.

|On the other side of the card, there should be a mission section. You can press that word, and you will be given a mission in your world. If you want to take a mission in the other world, you need to go to the company hub where the company will take you to the other world.|

I flip the card and see there is a ‘mission’ word on it.

|If you want to purchase your waifu, you need to come to the company hub before you can make a purchase—the same with a simple perk, advance perk, and personal perk. The only one you can buy from the card is a simple skill. If you want to buy some skills, you can go to the shop section. The shop section is located in the top right corner of your identification panel. If there is another question as to the people in the company hub.|

I open up my identification panel and see a shopping cart symbol in the panel’s top right corner. I press the button and see the list of skills inside the shop. The one that really catches my eyes is a skill called ‘Target Locator.’

It was a skill that let me know the location of my mission target. It looks like the company decided not to tell me about this skill to let me take more loans. It looks like they want me to spend my points on something like swordsmanship or magic mastery.

I guess I can see if you are a regular human picking that option. You cannot kill someone without having some tool to kill them.

I decide to buy that ability and wince a little when I see my point reach zero. It takes one hundred soul points to buy an essential ability.

Anyway, I press the mission word and begin to search for a mission I can take. Most of the mission is from the company, but there is one mission coming from my patron.

|I want to eat some religious fanatic!|

|Kill Abubakar Shekau and his five lieutenants.|

|Reward: 20 Soul Points and an Increase in your Eldritch Blast|

The mission did not state I need to make sure they get eaten and only state that I only need to kill them. I click the accept button to take the mission, and suddenly I know the location of my target. It is a little annoying. It is like porn you watched last night that keeps popping up inside your mind while you are in the middle of an exam.

“Urgh. I guess I need to kill them as soon as possible. I don’t know if I can survive the image of six men inside my mind.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abubakar Shekau opens up his eyes and sees he is inside a white room. There is nothing inside the room as far as his eyes can see. There is only white.

The last thing he remembers is how he and his fellow brother in arms just won a fight against the westerner, and he is ready to sleep after a long fight. He begins to think that the god calls him and the room he is currently in is heaven.

“Sadly, it is not heaven.”

“Who’s there!?!”

He turned around and saw a young man in his twenty. He wears a white suit and a black tie. He has golden hair and blue eyes.

“You can call me the administrator, and this is a Limbo. A place where people are given a chance to repent.”

“Repent?!? I’m the leader of the Holy Army! I lead people in the name of Allah! I’m the leader of a holy crusade! I’m the one who killed all those infidels! Allahu akbar!”

“That is one strike.”

Riser looked at the man in front of him and gave him a warning. He already ‘judges’ this man lieutenant, and all of them have the same crazy-looking eyes as this man. They think they are the savior of Islam, but they are nothing more than a rapist, murderer, and terrorist.

“Allahu akbar!”

“Two Strike”

“Allahu akbar!”

“Three strikes. You are done.”

A second after I say that, a portal appears in front of the crazy terrorist. I look at the portal and wince a little. Every time I try to look at the portal, my head hurts. The only thing I can see behind those portals is a thousand upon thousand of stars, and there is a massive shadow made of tentacles.

After the portal opened up, a tentacle full of teeth appeared from the portal and warped around Abubakar Shekau. Before he could even scream, he got pulled inside the portal. Riser begins to relax when he sees the portal closed up.

I guess even a devil cannot gaze into the abyss. I rub my eyebrow and release a relief breath. I look at the table and see my card glowing. I pick up the card and press the identification section.

|Riser Phenex|

|Race: Devil|

|Class: C| |Bronze Membership|

|Patron: Shub-Niggurath|

|Soul Points: 26|

{Debt: 150} {Pay up debt?}

It looks like my patron has already paid me up. There is also another section I can press, the pay-up debt button. I get up from my seat and press the quit button on the identification panel.

A second later, I open up my eyes and see that I’m inside my room. I get from my bed and pick the card from the bed. I look at the mission section and see there is something new. It was from the company.

|Take as many Boko Haram member soul as many as you can|

{Reward: 10 souls per every hundred souls you successfully feed to your patron}

{Warning! Need at least 100 souls before you can get the reward and finish the mission}

Interesting. I pressed the accept button, and my mind filled with the location of the Boko Haram member. I guess I will spend all my time hunting those poor souls who are soon to be devoured.
