Chapter 12 - Chapter 12. terrifying result

With my enhanced hunter senses I perceive that the other guy is still not out of shock and I swing my dagger towards his face using fear and managed to pierce his face with one blow.

[You have killed a human of rank E: +0.7]

"Place points in agility."

[Agility: raised from 19.91 to 20.61]

-What the fuck are you doing? -Asks the remaining asshole while observing the surroundings.

I jump at him, and throw a punch that he blocks with his hands. I wasn't going to give him a chance to find what he was looking for.

-You bastard, you're not that strong. -He shouted in anger and started to attack.

I concentrate. "This guy's quality must be strength, not everyone has a system that allows them to balance each quality, so I start dodging using my agility."

-You're just going to run, you bastard? -He kept shouting.

I concentrate harder, the moment a punch from him comes close I let the fist hit the side of my face while backing away to reduce the damage from the impact. I pretend to stagger and he jumps up in a hurry trying to hit me again, I took advantage of his lowered guard and jumped towards him.

Slash!

Blood!

The head of the last of them rolled to the ground.

[You have killed a human of rank E+: +1.1.]

"Put the points in fear. Seems like a useful quality," I think as my senses feel my senses dulled.

[Fear: raised from 10.4 to 11.5]

[Congratulations host]

Random mission completed]

[You have obtained: terrifying reward]

I look at the obsidian-colored dagger, it's cracking rapidly after I used the last spell.

The dagger turns into pieces of metal and dust that fall on the ground.

I pick up the pieces of the dagger and place them on a worn wooden table. My senses and physical condition slowly recover. I have just realized that using fear to enhance my qualities depends on my fear reserve. By placing points in fear, I recovered a little. It means that I was about to use all my reserves when facing a rational opponent. I didn't hold back a bit the sharpening of my senses by means of the hunter profession that uses the fear quality. Luckily, fear gradually recovers, it is like a kind of mana found in the surroundings.

I look at the surroundings, the room had a yellow hanging bulb on the ceiling that illuminated dimly.

In the simple and somewhat messy room there are two bunk beds, but there were only three subjects.

I take the bodies of the subjects and drag them into the corridors, I don't want to sleep with some dead people, especially in a world where zombies and all kinds of undead exist, to do so would be very reckless.

I search the room, the smell of blood wafted around, and find a total of 114 black tokens, clothes and a rather battered old sword and two black metal knuckle dusters. A few minutes later, I notice that the remaining bed looked like it hadn't been used in several days. I check the sheets and mattress of the remaining bed. Finding nothing unusual, I lie down.

"System, be specific What is a mystery card?"

[A mystery card is a random chance to get:...]

[1. Random skills]

[2. Scary items]

[3. Skill upgrades]

[4. More fear points]

[5. A terrifying result]

"What is a terrifying result?"

[The host will dream a nightmare and get 10% of the benefits gained in the nightmare].

[If the host dies in the nightmare he will lose 20% of the points in the qualities he currently possesses]

"Apparently there is no loss of benefits, only "the terrifying result" which at the same time represents an opportunity", after thinking for a few seconds I decide to choose the mystery card.

In front of me appear 5 black cards with dark red symbols.

[Choose host]

"I choose the card that was in the middle, there was not too much to think about, all the cards were identical, and if one does not know what is on a card, any card will give the same.

[Congratulations host, you got a "terrifying result"]

[Tonight you will dream a funny dream]

"I couldn't even choose when to use it. In the end, this is the result, I shouldn't complain, just take advantage of the opportunities that come my way, no matter how hard it seems", after rambling a bit, I close my eyes, wait, contrary to what I thought I start to feel a strange drowsiness, until I fall asleep, and surprisingly a few seconds later I see a notification in front of me.

[Survive a terrifying experience: broken down train]

The instant I read the notification, I look at my surroundings.

I am in the same train in which I was hours before, the train moves forward, I observe the surroundings and I notice that the passengers are different, a man with mustaches and white hair, who wears a blue uniform with some black arrangements told me with a relaxed voice:

-Young man, you have ticket or you will pay 6 black tokens.

I pull out the tokens, and the train inspector continues on his way charging the rest of the passengers.

"This must be some kind of lucid dream," I thought after a while and decided to wait, while watching the outside passing quickly due to the speed the train had already reached, even so I could still perceive the surroundings slightly, I attributed it to the quality of fear, I had not taken it for granted before.

Bang!

I immediately look out the window and can see smoke at the front of the train.

"It's the same," I immediately think, a few minutes later, I hold Sigfreud's dagger in my hand, just like before, the passengers are terrified.

Some passengers are muttering, some are trembling, and some are crying, but that's not the only thing, a stout passenger, is filled with anger and pounces on a female passenger.

-Help!

The screams of the woman whose clothes are torn are heard, but the passengers are so frightened and confused that they can't do anything.

-Noooooo, please! -The woman screams, begging for help.

-Shut up, bitch. You were probably just going to become a prostitute. -Said the man who had just dropped his pants.

I looked around, and the inspector who seemed relaxed before, was sitting with his hands on his face.
