Chapter 4: Status
Chapter 4: Status
When Wang Bing saw this smile on my face, he didn't know why, but there was a chill that ran down his spine.
But his pride quickly pushed down that chill that he felt as he couldn't believe that this spineless weakling could make him feel this way.
He became angry out of shame and roared, "What are you laughing at, you little piece of shit? Do you really think that you're safe just because something strange is happening? Just wait until I get free and then I'll show you!"
When I heard this, I flinched out of instinct, but then I remembered that he couldn't do a single thing to me right now.
So I looked right back at Wang Bing and stared right into his eyes.
Seeing the way that he just stared at me like this, my mentality really couldn't help changing.
He was just a person like me and now that he was frozen like this, why was I still scared of him?
It wasn't as if he could do anything to me right now, so why did I flinch?
As these thoughts passed through my mind, I couldn't help feeling angry at the way that my life had gone. I felt angry at how nothing ever went my way and how everything that I loved abandoned me…
But I really didn't know who to blame…
After feeling depressed for myself for a bit, I finally said, "Let me go."
The moment that Wang Bing heard this, his hand that had been frozen on my collar released and I fell down to the ground.
With this, it made it clear what had just happened.
I had only been guessing, but it seemed that my guess had been correct.
They had all stopped because I had told them to stop, that was why they were all frozen like this.
Wang Bing realized the same thing the moment that he saw this and he realized that what had happened wasn't an accident. Even if he was a fool, he would understand that I had caused this when he saw what I just did.
Wang Bing's face twisted with a strange look before he said, "What did you do?"
I really didn't know what to say when he said this since I also didn't know what happened.
Just why were they listening to me like this?
I didn't seem to do anything special…
At this, the voice once again rang out in my head to say, "Say status."
"Status?" I couldn't help repeating out loud.
But at that, there was a panel that appeared in front of me.
Name: Lin Fan
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Level: 1
Experience: 0
Job: Demon King of Lust
Skills: Hypnosis, Time Stop, Eyes of Lust
Strength: 5
Agility: 5
Intelligence: 7
Vitality: 5
I couldn't stop a surprised look from appearing on my face when I saw this status screen.
This…was a very strange one.
This was nothing like the status screen that I had heard about before, this one was much more detailed than anything I had heard about.
Awakeners would have a status that would show them what powers they had and what rank it was, but he had never heard of it showing all of these other things before.
Not to mention…there wasn't a rank with any of the skills that he possessed.
Three skills…he had heard of people possessing multiple skills before, but that was only at most two. He had almost never heard of anyone possessing three like he currently did.
At the same time, the skill that he should have awakened had completely disappeared.
Just what was going on right now?
But if he had to mention the worst thing of all…it would be the skills that he had received.
Hypnosis, Time Stop, and Eyes of Lust…
It would be a lie to say that he didn't do any research at all since he was still a man, so he did have his needs.
These skills were the skills that were the most popular portrayed in the research material that he studied. Most of the protagonists in the research material that he studied had one of these skills.
That was why these three skills were regarded as some of the worst skills that one could have because of how easily they could be abused.
The Hypnosis skill, that should have been what had stopped Wang Bing and his followers just now.
When I had told them to stop, the hypnosis of the skill should have convinced them to stop which forced their bodies to freeze like this.
When I looked closely at the Hypnosis skill, I found that it didn't seem to have a time limit or limit on its powers. So as far as I could tell, it should be possible to use this on anyone that I chose to use this on…
Wasn't this too broken?
Then there was the Time Stop skill as well.
I really couldn't help wondering just how powerful this skill was…
But before I did any of that, I needed to figure out just what to do with Wang Bing and his group…
So I looked away from the window in front of me and looked at them.
Wang Bing and his followers had been struggling against this thing that had frozen them in place, but when my eyes fell onto them…they didn't know why, but there was a chill that ran down their spine.
Seeing the way that I looked at him, Wang Bing couldn't help saying in a shaky voice, "What, what are you looking at?"
As I stared at Wang Bing, all that I could remember was everything that he had put me through over the years. All the suffering that had come from his hands and even the fact that I had almost died because of him…
All of this surged inside of me and my rage came up.
At the same time, I remembered what had just happened at the awakener center, how Yue Ling had completely tossed me aside after my awakening ceremony…
I had nothing left…
So what was the point of being a good person in this world?
It seemed that all that good people were destined for was to suffer, so why should I let myself suffer like this?
Since I had gained the power as a demon king, why don't I act like a demon king as well?
There was no need to be a good person in the end…
As these thoughts passed through my mind, the way that I looked at Wang Bing had changed and he could see that.
The chill that Wang Bing felt became stronger and he finally couldn't take it anymore as he said, "You! If you don't let me go right now, I swear that you will never see the light of day again!"
I would have been afraid of him in the past, but seeing him act this way now…it was like a little dog that was trying to act tough.
He was completely trapped and he still wanted to act tough, it really was laughable.
It was so laughable that I suddenly burst out in laughter after hearing him say this.
Wang Bing couldn't help shaking when he heard this and he was about to open his mouth to say something else.
But I cut him off by saying with a faint smile on my lips, "What do you plan to do then?"
