Chaos Returner (English)

Underworld

Underworld

Apr 12, 2021

After running for about 40 minutes I managed to arrive in the city and it took another 30 minutes to reach the hotel. Some people at the reception stared at me, it was probably because my clothes were all dirty after hunting in the dungeon for so long, it was also dirty with blood from the Goblins, but since their blood is blue, they thought it was ink.


-------------------------------------------------- -------


Floor 43, Room 4305, 19:35


As soon as I entered the room I started to undress and went straight to the shower.


After a few minutes, I came out of the bathroom dressed in black sweatpants, a white shirt, slippers and when I was walking towards the sofa, I see my reflection in the mirror and notice something.



Did my eye color turn red?



Instead of the blue iris that should have been there, a light red iris was in place.



Did it stay that way due to the chaos system? The color of the system also changed from blue to red, but I didn't expect it to change my eye either.



I decided to ignore this, because the most that would happen would be, I have to tell my parents that I put on contact lenses because of a phase in my teens. After that I continued towards the sofa.


I sat down, turned on the TV on some random news channel, and watched.


Winning this new system was unexpected, but most of my plan will remain the same.


‘’ My flight back to the United States is scheduled for the night of the 19th, so I have a day to do what I want- ’’



I ended up interrupting my own speech because of the surprise when I saw the news that was on TV.


-That afternoon there ended up another fight by criminal groups. This fight occurred in the suburbs of the city of Takehara and involved the groups Matsuda and Daikoen.


The reason for my surprise was not that there was a fight between criminal groups, it happened in many places, what surprised me was the groups involved.


Was the great Daikoen a simple criminal group? In fact, I think I remember being told about it.


In my past life there were Warriors who used their power for things other than killing monsters ... they were not happy just with the money and fame they gained by breaking through portals, so they decided to use inhumane methods to achieve their goals.


They were known as Dark Warriors, most of them were concentrated in a group called the Underworld. The Underworld was basically a gathering of hundreds of criminal organizations, gangsters and other groups against the law.


And the moment they entered the Underworld, the Daikoen were nothing but fish, but even so they managed to reach a high position.


As a group of the Underworld, they caused a lot of problems for society at that time, they also managed to cause some damage to the Ballard corporation at the time, but that damage was so small that my father ended up ignoring them.


‘’ Considering my current status… should I take care of them? ’’ I put my hand on my chin and questioned myself.


‘’ Even though they were high up in the Underworld, they were very passive and didn’t do many things. ’’


After thinking for a while, I said with determination: '' No, even if they were more passive, they were part of the Underworld, contributed to their growth and can cause me problems later if I don't take care of them now. '' Right after talking about it i got up, took out my cell phone and called Lillia.

‘’ Lillia, I need you to send me a car and get information about a criminal group called Daikoen. ’’ I spoke immediately after the call was accepted.


'' Young Master, even though it is strange that you suddenly want information about a criminal group, I can try to acquire it, but you still don't have a driver's license and I fear that you will crash again if you are not with a driver, especially now it's night. '' Lillia spoke worriedly.


I immediately remembered the times when I went out with one of my father's cars and returned my broken bones and car ...


With a face a little red with embarrassment I replied: ‘‘ You don’t have to worry, this time I won’t have an accident, you can be sure. ’’




Even though I don't currently have a driver's license, in my past life I had 20 years of driving experience, so I was sure there would be no problem.


‘’ Haah, okay, I’ll get everything ready. Bye. ’’ Lillia answered helplessly and ended the call.


My request was really kind of suspicious, but Lillia, who worked for me, can't resist. ‘’ I don’t like to worry about her, but I can’t allow Daikoen to become what she was in my past life. ’’


After storing my cell phone, I went to the wardrobe and grabbed a coat, a black mask, a cap and sunglasses.

I left my room, locked the door and went down to the first floor.



It is better to resolve this now that Daikoen has had a fight against another group and catch them while they are weakened.



In fact, even if they weren't weakened, with my current status it wouldn't be too difficult to beat them up.



When I got to the first floor, I took the car key that Lillia had arranged for me with the receptionist and went to the garage.



As soon as I got in the car I put on the clothes I had taken to hide my identity and started driving to the city of Takehara.



About 30 minutes after leaving the city of Hiroshima, Lillia sent me information about Daikoen, as well as her current location, which was in a bar they controlled in the suburbs.



After finishing seeing the information sent by Lillia, I sank the accelerator and followed the road.



-------------------------------------------



Midnight, Rua XXXX, Bar Royal.



Security here is not plentiful, but it is well allocated and organized.



To protect the outside and inside of the first floor of the bar there were 10 security guards. It was not a large amount to protect a building, but if they were well positioned it would be a great defense.



The building has 4 floors, according to the information that Lillia sent me, the first floor is released for everyone, the second is for VIPs, the third for businesses involving Daikoen and the fourth floor was the administration site.



Since my goal was to kill the leader first and then those in the lowest position, the best option was to start at the fourth floor.



After examining the entrance, I looked up and saw that there was a balcony on the fourth floor.



It will have to be over there. However, even with my improved status, I still can't jump that high and it will be difficult to climb without being noticed. After thinking about it immediately I said: ‘’ Access Store ’’



Right after saying that, a window with hundreds of E-rank and F-rank skills appeared in front of me.


I still have the 2 store points I acquired after leveling up 2 levels by killing all the remaining Goblins in the dungeon.



After looking for skills related to jumping in the store, I found one that caught my attention.

 



Name: Rabbit Legs



Type: Passive or Active



Classification: Rank F (Can be improved)



Effect: Allows you to jump 2x at normal height.



Duration: 1 jump (Active)



Cooldown (Active): 1 minute.



Price: Active (Rank F) 1 store point

Price: Passive (Rank F) 5 store points



Extra: By paying 1 or 5 store points it is possible to increase the Rank of the skill by 1, however it cannot exceed the rank of the user. 1 for the Active version and 5 for the Passive version.



The passive version is tempting, but I only have enough to buy the active one ... well, the important thing now is to destroy Daikoen, we will not care about that. After thinking about it I bought the Active version and upgraded it to Rank E, which allowed me to jump 3x the normal height.



Right after buying the skill, I went to the alley on the right side of the building.



As soon as I got there, I flexed my knees, gathered all the strength of my body in my leg, activated the skill and with all the strength I could, I jumped as high as possible.



The wind immediately blew through the alley, causing bags of trash to fly.



After jumping with all my strength, I climbed a little more than the height of the 4 floors, but managed to fall on the terrace of the building without problems.



They had some air vents and a door that probably led to the fourth floor. I immediately went to the part of the terrace that faced the entrance to the bar, when I looked down I saw the balcony, I concentrated a little on my hearing to check if there was anyone and when I realized that I didn't hear anyone without thinking a second time I jumped to the balcony.


Puff



With my balance I managed to soften much of the sound, making sure that only people who were close to it could hear it.



I was cautious that way because even if I hadn’t heard anyone, it doesn’t mean that there was really no one. As soon as I looked into the room with sofas, tables and other relatively expensive furniture, my gaze stopped on the person lying on the couch.



He had a bandage over a cut on his belly, but from the look of pain on his face, it seems that there is something wrong with that cut. My theory was further strengthened when the blood began to flow madly through the cut.



This person didn't seem to have the strength to even scream, so I went through the glass door to the balcony and went to him. He had black hair, he was totally pale, it was like he was going to die at any moment.



Is this guy the leader of Daikoen? After thinking about it, I went to a table with a luxurious armchair in the back, as soon as I got closer to the armchair I saw that it had a few drops of blood around it.



Apparently he really is the leader. This wound must have been made during the fight against the Matsuda group, but suddenly getting worse this way is strange.



Well, even though this is strange I came here to kill you, so it saved me more work.



I immediately went to the front of the couch where he was lying, removed my katana from the inventory, lifted it and brandished.



SWISH



The leader's head fell off the couch and rolled out under the table.




I obviously didn't know how the Darikoen leader had survived such a wound in my past life, but it doesn't matter to me now.



Shortly after killing the leader, I headed towards the door, the moment I opened it, two muscular men with suits in guard positions in front of the door appeared.



The moment they saw me, the one on the right immediately shouted: ‘’ Hey! Who are you-''



Before he could finish speaking, his head rolled away, while his body fell back.



The man on the left was shocked to see his partner's head rolling on the floor. And that moment that he didn't pay attention to was enough to turn my sword and cut off his head.



They both died without even having a chance to hit me, but even if they took the initiative to attack me, I have more than 30 agility points, so deflecting would be easy.



For normal humans, they were even good, so how did they not realize that their boss was dying? But, after thinking about it, I shook my head and ignored it, even though in the future they were an important organization in the underworld, today they were a simple gang and fear of gang betrayal did not matter to me.



Besides, it didn't happen much besides me killing all the members of the Daikoen group, there were normal people who saw the scene, but I was in disguise, so I doubt that they can relate to me.



After finishing this, some policemen arrived but I got back in the car before they saw me and drove again to the hotel where I was staying in the city of Hiroshima. As I spent the night driving, going to the dungeon in the afternoon, I ended up not sleeping at any time, so right after arriving I went straight to bed.



Even with my immensely increased stamina, I still did a lot of things, so I ended up sleeping until two hours before the flight to the United States.



When I woke up, I packed my suitcase and went straight to the airport. As soon as I got on the plane, I turned on the TV for a story talking about a masked man with superhuman abilities against a criminal gang. After 15 minutes of watching TV, the broadcast was interrupted for an emergency announcement.



I didn't think to care about it, but when I saw the TV screen, it felt like my mind had broken. On the screen, it was showing Times Square in New York, but ... in the middle of it ... there was a gate, just like the one I had entered before.



What ... the second gate should only appear 1 week after the first one is completed ... wait, is that when the gate that I completed disappeared ahead of time ... it was actually moved to another place !?
