"Shit! Mercy! I won''t tell anybody about- "


    Before the man could finish speaking, he was shot right in the forehead with a crossbow bolt before dropping dead.


    (Shit.)


    (If I didn''t cleaned up somewhat, that guy would have escaped before I noticed and would have rmed others.) – though Phantasia.


    (I should have expected for the things like merchant to visit this ce or something.)


    (Still, I kept my guard just in case.)


    (….)


    (But some people will realize that something is off if he went missing, like his client or a boss.)


    "It doesn''t matter."


    "The preparation have beenpleted."


    Behind Phantasia, there was huge group of chimera monsters that were ready forbat.


    "…."


    "This merchant body looks no good, but his horse corpse will be an interesting." – said Phantasia before collecting the horse corpse.


    After collecting the horse corpse, Phantasia summoned his own horse and quickly got on it.


    "Well then."


    "Everybody! Fallow me!"


    The time was up.


    The necessary chimeras have been created.


    However, ording to that merchant I killed recently, he said that the neighboring vige who they are good friends with ended up worrying about this vige since they haven''t heard anything from them for some time.


    Well, it really doesn''t bother me.


    Why?


    Well because their vige was my second target in the first ce!


    I and the fast moving chimeras went ahead and ran towards the second vige.


    This time I had way more chimeras. I obviously can''t store that many chimeras, so they are outside all. Bit risky approach, but I don''t need to worry since yers don''t take this route.


    Well, there is one thing I need to worry though.


    The first attack started long time ago and people are realizing that something must have happened.


    I finished the preparation in time and I need to attack before a proper investigation is send.


    The first one to notice was the neighboring vige, but its not the problem since they were my second target anyway.


    Me and chimera quickly made our way towards the second vige.


    They did saw using from afar, but it was toote. The fast moving chimeras and me on my horse got to them before they could even try to escape, making the raid start almost instantly.


    I did heard from the vigers that this vige is small, but it was way smaller than I though. Dealing with that entire vige and killing everybody there didn''t honestly took long.


    The second vige has been destroyed as nned.


    [Title: NPC killer tier 4 has reached tier 6] – [E] -> [D]


    [+10 stat points] – [Killed 100 NPCs]


    [+25 stat points] – [Killed 150 NPCs]


    [Title: Evil – Tier 4 has reached tier 5]


    [+ 2 ss points]


    The second vige has been destroyed sessfully without letting anybody escape.


    I didn''t get any new titles; however, 2 growth type titles did ranked up….


    Fuck me.


    The title [Destroyer Vige] and [Settlement Destroyer] didn''t ranked up.


    I can kind of guess why.


    Both of the viges were quite small, too small, they were very small. The second one was especially small.


    So, I can kind of understand why I didn''t managed to rank up those titles. I may or may not get them after destroying the third vige. I honestly wouldn''t be surprised if I didn''t got it at this point.


    There is a [NPC Murder] didn''t ranked up.


    This title grows if I kill NPCs without dying in between. A streak or something you could say.


    So, why it didn''t worked?


    Well, I died.


    I died when I was hunting in danger forest.


    So, yea, the streak got broken.


    However, there is another problem.


    It may seem like I''m getting a lot of titles right now, but I''m not unfortunately. I mean like I''m not getting enough points.


    The E rank titles could be easily obtained and the D rank titles required bit of challenge, but C rank titles…. Oh boy. They are problematic.


    Getting D or E rank titles right now kind of means nothing unless I get a lot of them.


    There are growth type titles, however the required to grow them each new time is getting higher and higher.


    So, the rate of acquiring titles got extremely slowed down after I left the beginner city.


    I have grow titles, the titles that can keep ranking up and evolving, but it takes both time and effort.


    Ranking them up at the start may seem easy, but the more you do it, the harder it gets, meaning you are getting less power and can only get more by putting even more efforts.


    Grow titles are good. Don''t take me wrong. But to make them really shine you need to develop them and all.


    Some titles provide higher rewards as they evolve, but there is also different type titles that is just simple title that doesn''t have ability to grow.


    It may seem like the non-grow titles are inferior, but that is not the case.


    For example.


    [E rank grow title can give you 5 stat points per rank.]


    [E rank non grow title can give you 30 or even 50 stat points from get go.]


    It works like that.


    Not only that, but titles that give you more points have even bigger requirements. But the more you grow your title, the higher reward is.


    For example, my title [NPC Killer].


    The number of NPCs I need to kill to rank it up got bigger, but the bonus got…... Well, the bonus only got bit bigger, so honestly the version where you needed to just kill 25 NPCs was way better…... Yea…. Fuck.


    Well, not all grow titles are that bad like this one, for example [Craft] given me 5 ss points, then 10, then 25 after crafting rare rarity item…... Well, it did required a lot of time and research as well as materials…... So, it wasn''t exactly easy and was bit problematic.


    Some grow titles are good while some are bad. Some grow titles just requires you to just do your own stuff, but some requires you to do specific action like killing yers or NPCs for example.


    Some grow titles may provide very strong effect each rank, but instead take way more efforts to rank up even once.


    So, yea, grow titles varies in many different ways. Some are good and some are…. Bit problematic to grow.


    For FUKING EXAMPLE [CHAOS MAKER]. How the hell do I make this thing grow?! I still don''t get this title. Do I need to act like mad man or something to make it grow? All it says that I need to create chaos to make it grow.


    But what qualifies as chaos? Burning down house? Committing genocide?


    Or for example doing a revolution against cruel king or for example influencing the entire kingdom or/and specific location with your actions in some way?


    …


    Let''s just forget it for now and speak about something different.


    About other yers strength and NPCs.


    I''m obviously not the only yer out there who knows about titles and how valuable they can be. Its honestly extremely easy to discover titles considering how easily you can get [E] rank titles.


    In short, everybody out there knows about existence of titles since earlies days of the game.


    They not only level up to get stronger but also try various stuff to obtain titles. In short, they are doing the same thing as me to grow stronger…. Well expect the fact that I''mmitting genocide and I did spread the gue on purpose to destroy the city. But hey, my method worked, right?


    Anyway, ALL yers can grow stronger using titles, just like me, so I''m nobody special.


    NPCs probably also use title system or something simr, since different NPCs may have way higher strength, even though they have same level, same sses total level, same equipment and other stuff.


    For example, take the mayor guards that I encounter in Min.


    They were strong like hell, even though they level wasn''t supposed to be this high and I had already a shit tons of titles.


    Or for example these "Test subject" yers I used to see how my chimeras fight against the yers.


    They were clearly not evil people like me, meaning that doing good stuff can also give you titles.


    So, I''m not the only one getting stronger. yers and NPCs have their own means of getting stronger and let''s not forget about leveling up since this is one of the best ways of growing stronger.


    Anyway, me? My n is somewhat working since I got new titles…. But I don''t think this is enough for the "Last target" I''m aiming for.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    ….


    Let''s just hope the third vige will be much bigger and will be also much more challenging. Maybe it will rank up my titles or get me some new ones.


    I instantly began preparing for the third raid while hiding in the remains of the destroyed vige just like before.


    After some time had passed, the preparation for the third attack have beenpleted and the chimeras and me were on move again.


    The third target was the vige bit more far away from this one.


    However, while I was on the road, I ended up encountering the vigers from the second vige.


    When I beat them up, I ended up learning that they went out and visited the vige I was heading to. They apparently went and did some trade with them.


    I almost shitted my pants when they said they were from the vige I came from, thinking that some of them escaped without me even knowing, but it was false rm.


    By the way, chimeras ate them alive and I took their horse corpse.


    The first and the second vige had some horse, so I went and created those fake centaurs using dark elves bodies. I have now some cavalry.


    The human chimeras are…. Quite good?


    I give them some of the farming tools as weapons and they can wield them. Stab, smack, sh and stuff.


    They are bit dull and robotic to the point you can easily tell how they can fight and even idiot could tell how they will attack.


    I don''t know if this depends on what corpse I use, like farmer or soldier.


    Well, I would need a soldier to confirm this theory in the first ce.


    There is also the fact that I bit rushed it, but oh well.


    However, for now I should focus on the third vige raid.


    It took some time but I was finally able to see it in the distance.


    This vige was much biggerpare to the other two, but I had a way more chimeras than before.


    I instantlyunched attack again and this time with my pseudo centaurs as well.


    There were few problems here and there, for example I didn''t realized that some of them knew how to fight…. Well, they ended up ganged up by chimeras and eaten alive, so yea, resistance didn''tsted long since I also spread a freckling poison around like a bastard.


    It was way more problematic than other two viges, but in the end the vige was destroyed.


    It took way more effort than before, but I did it.


    The third vige was no more than just rubles.


    [Title: Vige Destroyer tier 1 has reached tier 2]


    [+50 stat points.]


    [Title: Settlement Destroyer tier 1 has reached tier 2]


    [+10 ss points.]


    [Title: NPC killer has reached tier 7]


    [+25 stat points]


    [You have decimated andpletely destroyed 3 different viges while not leaving even a single survivor behind.]


    [You have obtained title: Wrecker] – [C]


    [+ 80 stat points.]


    [Title: Chaos Maker – Tier 3 has reached tier 4]


    [+ 2 ss points]


    [Title: Evil – Tier 5 has reached tier 6]


    [+ 2 ss points]


    [Title: Chaotic Evil – Tier 2 has reached tier 3]


    [+ 3 ss points]


    [Tittle: Viin tier 1 has reached tier 2]


    [+60 stat points.]


    "…."


    (I was hopping for bit more…. But fuck me.)


    (I thought I would get same amount of titles I did when I straight up wrecked the entire beginner city, but I guess the viges were too small, huh? Well, I did knew that they were small thanks to the merchant from the city AND the merchant I murdered that tried going to the vige I was in.)


    (But still, the progress wasn''t as big as I hoped.)


    (Well, it''s not like I could have targeted "That" city since I would get fucked on the spot, so honestly this was the only option.)


    (Still, it should be somewhat…. Enough?)


    (…)


    (Maybe?)


    "…"


    "Anyway." – said Phantasia while taking out the map from his inventory.


    (All 3 viges that were on my path had been dealt with.)


    (I got way less titles than I thought, but I did secured good amount of points.)


    (I used every single point I got into the [Necro Mastery] and began increasing my number of chimeras.)


    (The first, second and third viges were only build up and I knew that they would be not enough for me…. Well, I did hoped for the better titles and more, but still I did…. Never mind.)


    (There are three reason why I chose these 4 viges specifically.)


    (The first are the titles I could get by destroying them.)


    (The second was for the human type materials in order to create more chimeras.)


    (The third was an safe route, since yers don''t take this route since it will just waste their time.)


    "The first vige is located quiet far away from the city I came from."


    "The second vige who was their neighbors was bit away."


    "But the third vige was extremely far away from the second vige."


    "In short, I ended up traveling quiet a distance."


    "But there was reason for all this!"


    "The reason why I took this route was to stay hidden and go around so nobody would know!" – said Phantasia while smiling malicious at the map.


    THE NEXT TARGET.


    "The only ce where people go after leaving the starting area!"


    "The town called Wild!"
