Book 6: Chapter 50:1: The Vision of an Otherworldly Online Game, Part 1
Darkness was designated for the demonstration of the Steal skill, while Satou Kazuma chose Megumin and Aqua for the Life Drain skill. Megumin had already cast explosion magic today, making this the perfect opportunity to replenish her stamina and mana. As for Aqua, she was an excellent source.
Furthermore, Darkness’s utility wasn’t limited to Steal. If Chen Heng wanted to learn some low-level offensive magic, Darkness was the ideal choice. Satou Kazuma was quite confident that Darkness wouldn’t refuse.
“Oh, me? Finally…finally, are you going to use your skills on me, Kazuma? Your desires, suppressed for so long, are they finally going to be unleashed on me? Ah! No, I’m sure I’ll be treated in all sorts of ways, ravaged to the core, right? Satou Kazuma, you pervert!” Darkness protested, waving her hands frantically, although her body swayed strangely, and her face flushed red.
“Shut up! I’m just using the Steal skill normally. What are you thinking?” Satou Kazuma finally lost his patience. While there weren’t many people on the street now, there were still some, and they were giving Satou Kazuma extremely odd looks.
Although Satou Kazuma wasn’t particularly concerned about how others saw him—after all, he had earned the nickname Kazuma the Brute—it didn’t mean he liked being slandered.
Feeling sorry for himself, Satou Kazuma genuinely wanted to showcase his Steal skill properly this time.
In the original story, Satou Kazuma had also used Steal on Darkness but had stolen a hairpin. While it was just a hairpin, it was of great importance to Darkness, so it was taken.
Satou Kazuma now suspected that the target of his Steal should be something the target considered the most valuable.
The first time he used Steal, he targeted Chris, who had a short sword worth 400,000 eris. However, instead of the sword, he ended up with Chris’s underwear.
To Chris, the 400,000-eris short sword meant nothing.
When Satou Kazuma tried it on the headless undead knight, a Dullahan, he had intended to steal the knight’s great sword, but what he got was the undead knight’s head. For the headless knight, his head was more precious than anything else.
Darkness did not even need explaining. If Satou Kazuma really stole her underwear, she might get even more excited. However, it was different for that hairpin, so he eventually got that hairpin.
“Come on, let the storm rage fiercer; vent all your desires on me. Don’t harm other girls. As a knight, I have a duty to protect the people.”
Initially, Darkness seemed to resist, but then she opened her arms wide and closed her eyes, prepared to accept Kazuma’s perverted behavior.
As for the part where Satou Kazuma said he would use Steal normally, regardless of whether others believed him, Darkness did not. As they spent more time together, Darkness had come to realize the depths of Kazuma’s depravity, his true face.
“Apologize to all the knights in the world! That isn’t how knights should protect people. You’re tarnishing the name of knights, you perverted knight!” Satou Kazuma couldn’t resist criticizing.
While Darkness indeed had her moments of knightly valor, most of the time, it was…hard to describe.
After some hesitation, Satou Kazuma finally extended his wicked hand toward Darkness, who was eagerly awaiting his touch. Satou Kazuma no longer wished to explain; he just wanted to demonstrate his Steal skill normally. That would save the pedestrians from looking at him as though he was a pervert.
“Steal!” Satou Kazuma aimed his open palm at Darkness and activated the skill.
A burst of iridescent light shot out from his hand before he clenched it into a fist.
Chen Heng watched with curiosity as Satou Kazuma kept his hand clenched. What did he get?
Although Satou Kazuma stole Darkness’s hairpin in the original story, this was not the original story. The item Steal stole was random. It could have just stolen some eris, and there was no guarantee that it stole anything, either.
As Satou Kazuma slowly opened his right hand, a hairpin appeared in his palm.
“Phew!” Satou Kazuma released his held breath. Excellent! This time, it stole something normal. Satou Kazuma had no desire whatsoever to steal Darkness’s underwear. He only wanted to demonstrate his Steal skill properly and redeem his reputation.
“Give me back my hairpin, Kazuma,” Darkness said, glancing at the hairpin in Satou Kazuma’s hand and belatedly touching her hair.
This hairpin held special significance for Darkness.
“Ah! Here you go,” Satou Kazuma replied, not particularly attached to Darkness’s hairpin.
Of course, he didn’t just toss it to her at random; he handed it back with care.
With Satou Kazuma’s Luck stat, anything he stole using his Steal skill was undoubtedly important to the target.
If it had been underwear, Satou Kazuma would’ve gone full pervert mode, but with other significant items…
“How’s it going, Big Brother? Did you see it clearly? Did the Steal skill show up on your Adventurer Card?” After returning the hairpin to Darkness, Satou Kazuma leaned toward Chen Heng.
At that moment, Chen Heng was examining his Adventurer Card. Indeed, there was a Steal skill listed on it. Although the text on the Adventurer Card was still in the script of this otherworld, there was some similarity between this script and Japanese. Moreover, Chen Heng had seen the name of this skill on Satou Kazuma’s Adventurer Card before, so he could recognize it.
“It’s there,” Chen Heng replied, showing his Adventurer Card to Satou Kazuma.
“Great! Now, Big Brother, tap on that skill first and then tap on your avatar. Since we’re both adventurers, we only have five skill points at Level 1, but that’s enough to learn the basic Steal skill.”
Chen Heng followed Satou Kazuma’s instructions step by step. After the final step, he felt a peculiar change within his body. He wanted to investigate the source of this change, but perhaps he hadn’t reached that level yet. He couldn’t sense it or pinpoint the origin of the change.
However, he felt he could use the Steal skill whenever he wished.
“Now that you’ve learned it, Big Brother, do you want to try it out?”
“No, I’ll try it later. I already have a test subject,” Chen Heng replied, shaking his head.
