Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Altra

I camped outside Altra until late at night when only the lights of great towers shone like stars. This time I was weaving a cloak of spider silk that was as dark as the night sky above me. When the night had reached its peak and the moon was towering in the stars I went in.

I approached the entrance with caution when upon seeing two guards I quickly approached them.

"To enter the city you must pay a fine of five Tas"

(Tas is the currency)

The guard said calmly, I quickly reached into my cloak knowing I had no money. While my hand was in my pocket I cut my finger, with my finger cut I swung my arm and droplets of blood flew towards the guards, leaving multiple holes where they melted straight through the flesh. I then went up to the guard's body and searched it finding 500 tas and a guild card, which I took since mine was destroyed. I then entered the city. Even though it was night, the city's streets were still filled with people of all races human, Beastmen, Dragonites, Lizardmen and even Hydreenas. I wandered through the city peacefully chanting death to those who betrayed me under my breath. As I wandered through stalls I saw a glint that caught my eye.

"Demonite, Demonite for only 10,000 tas"

I analyzed the Demonite.

Demonite: level 300 durability, High Divine resistance, weight: 250,000 kg.

I knew I had to get this resource, its benefits would be endless, so tonight would be a night of robbery.

The first purse I stole was off a woman walking with a brutish man following her. I sent out a thread of sticky cobweb that touched her purse, I tugged it removing it from her handbag without a single clue then I sent a little flame which was practically invisible until it hit her handbag which then caught fire, burning the evidence. I walked away robbing every person who was distracted by the commotion. By now I had about 2000 tas but it was already 3 AM and the daylight was coming. I didn't have long. Just as I thought this, a guard came running along with 5 others, these guards were protecting a golden horse. The guards were pushing their way through the crowd, they had been ordered by the noble riding on the horse. My luck was phenomenal and treacherous at the same time because there was a noble and nobles are rich but also with my upgraded senses I could hear what they were saying, it wasn't good.

"Make sure that dealer is here" the noble mumbled to some guard, "I need that Demonite" he grumbled.

"No, and yes at the same time," I thought. Alright if I'm doing this, it has to be quick, I can't kill him due to his status being unknown and I cant rob him due to the amount of well-trained guards surrounding him. Alright, I have a plan.

"Hello" I muttered, "I am the dealer do you have the money"

"Yes now give me the Demonite!" demanded the noble

"Send one of your guards into the back alley over there" I pointed then left.

I waited in the alley until the guard came, he said something or other but I didn't listen, I just snapped his neck quickly and used body morphing to make me look like the guard, then I walked back out into the street and joined back up with the noble.

"Sorry boss, he didn't have the Demonite, he was just a scammer"

The noble grunted then looked away, the party carried on with the noble needlessly wandering everywhere. While the noble wasn't paying attention, I was quickly snapping the neck of each guard then making them move like humans by manipulating them with 'sticky spider web'. The noble didn't notice this so when he wasn't paying attention I quickly robbed him then set a fire. While the fire was blazing I used the guards to guide the noble into an alleyway where I used the guards to kill and mutilate his body then I transformed back into my normal self and made it look like the guards had killed themselves. Now it was almost morning and the night market was closing down so I quickly ran to the stand selling the Demonite,

"Are you still selling?" I said,

"Yes" he grumbled, "but the price is 15000 tes"

I slapped 15000 tes on the table and grabbed the Demonite. The man was shocked at the Demonite selling so easily, he thanked me and bowed. Of Course by the time he did this I had already left with my agility, by the time he had done this I was already in the most expensive hotel in town, 'The Royal Prince', I strolled in, walking into this place guarantees your rich.

"Hello sir, which room do you want to stay in tonight," the secretary said,

"I'll take your best room," I said calmly

"Alright that'll be 250000 Tes per night"

"Fuck!" I thought this place is expensive

"I'll take it," I said, slapping 300000 tes on the counter.

"Alright right this way," she said, leading me up the stairs, after two flights of stairs we reached the penthouse room, on the front of the door was a picture of the noble from earlier.

"Welcome to the prince's suite" she charmed, "enjoy your stay!"

Well shit! If the noble I killed was the prince then I'm worried, but also this plays to my advantage. As a monster, I will always gain in chaos.

I lay in my emperor sized mountain of a bed, counting the Tes I had stolen from the prince, 1000000...2000000...300000...ect. I was getting tired, my eyes felt heavy, this will be my first sleep in three days, but before I could sleep, I quickly shoved the Demonite down my throat as my body will need to be safe while I'm sleeping. The last thing I heard before I fell unconscious was,
