Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Thick grey fog (almost turning into liquid due to Leo's high soul power) silently shrouded the place, greatly hindering the senses of beings within in the process.

Perfectly hiding Leo's figure in its centre, as he quietly gazed toward the black cauldron in his front. On his face, a dark gloomy look could be discerned.

Although his shadow face was dark to begin with due to his shadow physique, his current face appeared much more darker than usual.

"This... I already run out of materials to process and create into potions!

"Huff~ This f**king Jinx! I only lack 100 potions to upgrade my class job yet, I coincidentally ran out of materials when it was about to advance!"

Leo cursed within his mind, heavily signing as he gazed at his almost empty inventory before stiffly shifting his gaze toward the messy yet clean sculpted table in a short distance.

Huff~

Pondering slightly, feeling that he finally needed to re-stack herbs and get rid of the accumulated potions within his inventory.

Leo unhurriedly stood up, hiding the cauldron and items within his inventory before silently gazing toward the bland niches in the surroundings, taking a long deep breath as he began to move in the direction of the old wooden house at a hurried speed...

Causing the fog behind to churn greatly as a weak breeze lightly parted its density.

***

"This, potions? Where did these potions come from?

"Moreover, based on the colour of the liquid within the bottles, there should be at least 3 different types of potions!"

Andress suddenly exclaimed in pure puzzlement and greed upon seeing the 20 potions perfectly aligned beside the entrance of the wooden house- swiftly calculating within his mind how much Earth Gold he would earn if he sold them all within the town...

"With these, I could at least earn 400 earth gold if I sell them all, enough to buy a house in the inner realm of the town!'

He thought, feeling his palm slowly become itchy as he silently cast his scan toward it- instantly making his mouth turn agape upon seeing their quality...

Hearing the commotion he created, the 4 bored yet sleepless humans within the house immediately rush toward his location, also becoming silent as they stare at the potions on the ground with desire.

"Indeed, moreover, their quality seems high...'

Roy thought, secretly wiping his exhausted eyes to ensure that he was not imagining things nor beginning to hallucinate due to the lack of sleep.

As they were hesitating whether to hide the bottle within their inventory and make them their own, the sound of the familiar demonic voice, coming from the depths of the unknown, suddenly resounded within their consciousness.

"Keke~ Help me sell the potions toward the town and buy the herbs and spiritual fruits within the list... the more, the better.

"In addition, try to buy defensive skills within, Common to Elite Rarity skill would suffice."

Seeing the glint in the eyes of the 5, unable to conceal their greed under his deliberate prying...

Leo suddenly released a light chuckle, causing the expression of the five to abruptly freeze, making their faces instantly become pale as if remembering the things that transpired yesterday night.

However, the next second, upon the momentary silence, the teenager suddenly spoke in gusto, unfolding the forced smile on his face.

"This, My lord, you're the one who created these potions?

"No wonder they all look high in quality! Moreover, I didn't expect that master's class job actually included potion-making!"

He uttered in pure excitement, smoothly changing his way of identifying the suspected core formation realm being from the previous "My Lord" to "Master" in a matter of seconds- with reverend reflected within his eyes, making the expression of the 5 (including Leo) to become dumbfounded.

...

Revealing an amused expression on his shadow face upon hearing the exaggerated praises of the teenager...

Leo deliberately began releasing his soul power toward the surroundings (at least 100 in soul power), instantly causing the void to suffer an unprecedented suppression, seemingly warping the place as if it couldn't resist the pressure he was emitting.

Mysteriously making his aura exhibit a small pressure akin to the natural pressure released by a newly ascended Core Formation realm being as he began to speak in a cold yet emotionless voice.

A thing that he learned upon meticulously observing the advancement of the silver rabbit days ago. Making him conclude that the origin of the pressure released by high-level beings was related to soul power.

A thing that makes sense upon understanding that "Soul Power" stats were rare, to begin with.

At least Leo still hadn't seen a being who had soul power on their stats other than him and his two adorable silver skeletons.

"You two, the teenager and the man with thick brows, would go to the town.

"I need the materials and skill before the night arrives... Or else, Keke~"

Leo slowly uttered in his demonic voice, making his voice that carried weak suppression to quickly envelop the place- causing the 5 to immediately feel an unprecedented coldness within that quickly crept toward their being and bones...

Followed by its malicious message that entered within their consciousness, activating their instinctive fear.

At the same time, in the distance, the thick grey fog beyond began to churn greatly, slowly unfolding the sight of almost a hundred puppets within, all staring at them with those lifeless and cruel eyes... Making their expression crumble under the intense pressure they subconsciously release.

"This, almost 30 of the puppets on the opposite side have the strength that could at least rival any normal Foundation realm beings!

This... this place is horrifying! We couldn't provoke the being in this place!'

The group thought in dread, finally able to glimpse some of the strength hidden in this forbidden place!

Knowing that they had no choice, Roy and Drake gritted their teeth in fear, building their courage as they accepted the demand of the unknown being with helplessness.

...

"Keke~ don't worry, I don't plan to take advantage of you two."

Seeing their helpless expression, Leo suddenly spoke, retracting the soul power within the surroundings as he casually tossed 2 healing potions toward the two...

Instantly making the expression of the two became momentarily stiff upon being caught off guard, not expecting that the being would suddenly throw something in their direction, almost making them shout in fear due to the misunderstanding.

Ding!

+2,500 horror points!

Regaining their senses, the two secretly exchanged glances, unfolding the relief within their unfocused eyes as they immediately hid the potions within their inventory.

"Do~ don't worry master, we will immediately buy the thing you wanted!"

The teenager patted his chest in happiness upon obtaining a potion for free- almost couldn't believe that he easily gained one just by running an errand!

"How amazing! If I was in town, it would probably take me at least 5 to 7 days of saving just to buy 1!

However, I almost died due to a heart attack earlier upon the unknown being tossed the potion towards me! How embarrassing!'

***

Soon, finally seeing the slowly vanishing silhouettes of the two beyond the rusting gate at the entrance of the cemetery, Leo leisurely retracted his gaze as he began to move toward the depths of the cemetery...

Not a bit anxious that the two would run off with his hard-created potions...

However, even if he made a mistake and guessed incorrectly, then the three human beings in the old wooden house don't need to continue living.

"Keke~ after killing those three, then I just need to find them within the town before also finishing them off.

"No, that was too easy, it's best if I torture them first before killing them off for good! Maybe I should also try to get their skin so I could create another scarecrow...

"Nonetheless, I wouldn't believe that they would still dare to exit the town if they stole my potions. Keke~"

...

This...

In the far distance, deep within the silent forest, minutes away from the cemetery.

Roy suddenly halted on his track as cold sweats began to trickle down his back, feeling that his premonition was acting again, sending him a signal of dread.

"Are you okay?" Seeing that Roy halted on his track, the teenager beside him asked in concern, not able to see the fear within the eyes of the latter.

"Huff~ yes, I probably just lack sleep."

Regaining his senses. Roy lightly shook his head, nodding slightly before continuing moving forward- entertaining the thought of not coming back but only for him to helplessly sigh upon remembering that the three were still within the cemetery- being held hostages by the unknown being.

Besides that, with the things he saw earlier, he could already ascertain that the being was really a part of the town... Moreover, the being probably held a high position within (based on the being cultivation realm and class job that was suspected to include potion making)

Huff~ even in the town, there were only 7 humans who could create potions and pills... Making every one of them an important asset to the town.
