I Really Don’t Want to Be the Ruler of the Abyss! - Chapter 2

When he came to the girl’s side, Rollin immediately helped her up and leaned her against the wall.

Then, he pinched the hard bread in his hand into small pieces and fed them to her mouth.

Although the girl’s eyes had lost their luster, she could feel Rollin’s gentleness.

But after that experience, she no longer believed in everything in this world.

A year ago, she was originally from a perfect family, a small wealthy family in the village.

Suddenly, the Empire’s cavalry attacked, turning this small village at the border of the two countries into ashes.

The people in the village lost their homes and had nowhere to go. All of them followed the Empire’s army to the capital.

When everyone felt that their future days were good, the Empire’s army sent them all to the slums..

Her mother was quickly raped to death by the local bullies in this crime-ridden area.

Her father had hidden her in a cupboard to protect her.

She saw her mother being raped and her father being dismembered through the cracks of the old cupboard.

After this moment on, her eyes were blank and lifeless.

After the matter was over, the boy named Rollin came to her house to clean up the bodies.

Since there was no one living here, Rollin decided to search the room to see if he could find anything valuable.

He found the girl who was hiding in the cupboard. Her eyes were already unfocused.

After finding the girl, Rollin closed the cupboard.

He ran outside to check his surroundings, and after he found that there was no one around, he returned to the room again.

As it was to deal with corpses, the bag was very spacious, so Rollin directly put the girl in the body bag and brought her out.

In the middle of his trip back, Rollin took a detour to his own small ‘base’ and hid this girl there.

After completing all of this, Rollin brought some food back to his base.

Rollin originally thought that this little girl would return to normal after a period of time, but what he he didn’t expect was that even though a year had already passed, she still maintained this state and didn’t move at all. It was only when Rollin fed her food that she moved her mouth.

“This is not the way to go on!”

This was because this girl had not moved for more than a year. She did not even make a sound. She was just like a dead doll.

The only thing that could confirm that she was still alive was her weak breathing.

Rollin had lived in this area for many years. Naturally, he knew everything here, so he also knew that women should not appear at all!

He could only secretly mock this place. ‘Perhaps this is the safest, because as long as you appear on this street, even as a corpse, this street’s thirsty men will not let you go!’

After feeding her, Rollin helped her wipe her body and then left this hidden underground space.

After returning to the surface, the sky had already sunk into darkness, so Rollin directly returned to his home from the small shabby house.

He opened a brick on the ground and took out the silver coins he had just obtained.

Then, he took out the coins wrapped in rags from the underground brick and counted them.

“One copper coin…”

“One silver coin, two silver coins…”

“I have obtained one gold coin and 95 silver coins.”

“After working hard for a few months, I can leave these slums!”

After saying that, he swapped the coins in his hands, wrapped them up again, and hid them.

After completing these things, Rollin recalled what had happened before. He had actually fainted because of magic.

Thus, he took out the magic book he had picked up from the back of a certain noble once again and began to learn how to operate it.

This time, he succeeded. At the same time, a voice came from within his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for learning High-Level Magic Fluctuations!]

‘Eh! What’s going on?’

With this doubt in his mind, Rollin discovered the problem from his line of sight.

In front of him was an additional HP and MP bar, and in the lower right corner was a mechanical gear.

Rollin directly used his hand to point at this gear, and a form appeared.

Character attributes, system title, crime and punishment statistics, item list, backpack list…

“What are these things?”

He opened the attribute list

[Name: Rollin (Ruler of the Abyss)]

[Age: 16 (Adult)]

[Tenacity: 100]

[Strength: 120]

[Agility: 40]

[Spirit: 500]

[Sin Points: 30]

[Virtue Points: 10]

[Ruler of the Abyss Talent (Elementary): Senses Strengthened, Body Strengthened, Magic Power Doubled.]

‘Sin points? Virtue points? What are these?’

Soon, the system gave a hint.

[Sin points. You will obtain them by doing evil deeds in any way. The bigger the matter, the more sin points you will obtain. When the sin points reach a certain level, you will be able to obtain a title through the system or exchange items through the system store.]

[Virtue points can be obtained by doing good deeds to eradicate evil. The bigger the matter, the more virtue points you will obtain. When the virtue points reach a certain level, you will be able to obtain a title through the system or exchange items through the system store.]

…

Opening his backpack, Rollin realized that he could safely store money inside. Perhaps it was because his level was too low, so he could not put anything in.

Thus, Rollin dug out his coins from the ground and put them into the system backpack.

1 gold coin, 95 silver coins, 30 bronze coins.

There were three categories in the title column: Sin Points Title, Virtue Points Title, Sin and Virtue Title.

The final direction of the sin points was the Ruler of the Abyss, and the title of virtue points was ultimately the Holy Knight. The strangest title of sin and virtue was ultimately the Dark Destruction supreme-ruler…

Moreover, the system had clearly given him the most important mission, allowing him to return to the Abyss and become the ruler!

“How can I go? I’m a human. Even if you turn me into the Ruler of the Abyss, I won’t go back and do such a thing!”

Then, Rollin immediately reduced the size of this mission.

‘Although I can’t become the Ruler of the Abyss, I can use it to become stronger and stronger!’

With this intention in mind, Rollin immediately activated ‘High-Level Magic Power Fluctuation’!

Magic power fluctuation, as the name implied, was able to create a huge range of fluctuations through magic. Then, all the movements of the people within the range can be clearly sensed.

From this, one can gain an advantage through prediction.

Even in Melville, this magic was only available to nobles like the Duke!

Rollin never thought that he would be so lucky to pick up such a magic book.

At this rate, not only would he be able to leave the slums, he could even enter the magic academy!

With this in mind, Rollin lay on the ground and fell asleep in the rubbish heap.
