Capítulo 15: Black Box Organization
[You have acquired the Swordsmanship Skill.]
The system message appeared once again.
'The system can now name a skill automatically? So, now I don't have to bother giving names, okay? I don't think it's just me who's growing, but the system's developing too.'
I looked at the sword in my hand. Maybe because it was overloaded, there were already cracks everywhere. This sword is no longer fit for use.
I threw the sword aside.
After that, I refocused on the enemy in front of my eyes.
He looked like he was in pain. I didn't let this opportunity go to waste, so I walked up to him and kicked him in the chest.
Thud!
When I managed to kick him, he bounced back and hit the ground hard. Before hitting the ground, he had time to roll around like a ball.
In the end, he could only fall to the ground.
Kahaak!
He coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood flowed quite profusely, but not enough to make him faint, even less die instantly. He's still conscious.
As he fell to the ground...
I focused on the thug boss.
The boss thug's chest was exposed due to the incision I made, so, I could see it.
At that moment, I noticed that something was drawn on the boss thug's chest.
I immediately widened my eyes in surprise. I was surprised by what I saw. A tattoo is drawn on his chest.
What is clear, I know what the image on his body means.
A memory suddenly appeared in my mind. The memory stuck in my brain. Bad memories that I will never forget.
Like a cinema showing a film, memories that had been buried deep in my head suddenly appeared and displayed scenes that I had experienced.
***
A piece of the story when I just entered this world.
It was a time when I had not yet adapted to this world.
At that time I faced many difficulties.
Especially when I've just been kicked out of the Warwick household. It was then that I felt the real difference between the two worlds for the first time.
If you think logically, at that time, when I had just been kicked out of the Warwick household, shouldn't I have been able to live a life without suffering?
In fact, at that time, I could also count, write, and read. Where such knowledge is more than enough to lead a normal life in this world.
Become a shopkeeper? Become a farm laborer? I should also be able to live like an ordinary human in this world, right? But why did I become a slum dweller instead? Life suffers.
Isn't there a special plot for someone transmigrating to another world? Am I not a human from earth who has a lot of modern knowledge? Stupid thoughts like that I never had.
But in the end, the fate that I lived was just... Trampled on, spat on, and abused at the lowest social level.
Indeed, at that time, there were many things I did not know.
How do the systems of society in this world work? How do people's minds in this world work? What is the shape of the culture of the people in this world? I don't know all that.
Is that the reason why I'm suffering? No!
The reason why I can't live a normal life is because of the—Criminal Organization, Black Box.
Black Box.
Black Box is the name of the largest criminal organization in the Misonia Kingdom.
The organization has committed many crimes, from small crimes to big crimes. Robbery, kidnapping, or murder. All of that has become their activity all the time.
Their members are scattered almost everywhere in the Misonia Kingdom. From small villages to big cities. Even in a small town like Ryam City, there were many of its members.
At that time, they kidnapped me and started forcing me to become their slave. They tortured me every day. Forced me to get the money for them.
Meanwhile, those who played with me just laughed and enjoyed the moments of suffering that I lived.
Every day is like hell.
I was also forced to commit several crimes, from robbing people to killing people. If I refuse, only torment awaits.
I still remember how I got my first experience of killing people. At that time, I had to do it.
With trembling hands, I desperately held back the vomit that always wanted to come out of my mouth when I first killed someone. As a result of that first experience of killing a human, I had to carry a lot of burdens in my mind.
At that time, I was still mentally weak, and fragile, and maybe, I could just go crazy. For some reason, my mentality can survive without going crazy.
Therefore, if I compare the cowardice I had when I was alive on earth, I might seem like a different person. Because now, I've changed a lot. Be a person who does not hesitate to kill people.
Finally, after several years of living in misery, I managed to get out of the vicious circle that ensnared my life.
The reason for that was that the Black Box Organizations suddenly disintegrated.
They lost the war against another criminal organization.
Only then did I meet Cornelia. Train and be strong.
So, I never had the chance to take revenge on the Black Box Organization in a previous life. But it seems I will be able to repay them in this life.
***
Why do I remember that? That's because I realized that the people who attacked me right now were people from the criminal organization called Black Box.
The proof is, that their organization's emblem is engraved on the chest of the person I just defeated.
The emblem is square, and small in size. The emblem was made by attaching hot metal to their skin, forming a tattoo.
When I saw that crest, the once quenched emotions at the deepest edge of me started to flare up once again. Feelings of anger arose because of what I had experienced a long time ago.
Some people say that bad luck always goes hand in hand with good luck. That is, when a person is receiving bad luck, one day he will receive good luck.
Honestly, I almost cursed those words. How come? Whether on earth or in another world, I have always experienced the same fate, namely bad luck.
However, now I'm starting to believe such words.
"I-forgive me! I promise I will tell you everything."
He desperately begged me not to kill him. Tears of blood spilled from his eyes. What a beautiful sight that is before my eyes now.
I smiled refreshingly. Then I said to him in a relaxed tone.
"Oh, sorry! I haven't asked that question yet. I know that there's a shrimp behind the rock. But, please wait a moment. Don't tell me who told you to just yet. Answer it later when I'm done playing with you, ok."
I told him that we were playing games. But instead, he was dripping cold sweat all over his body. I had thought that he had been doused with water.
He trembled like a frog in front of a snake.
Am I here playing the snake?
After that, I started torturing—playing with him.
I stepped on and beat him to my heart's content.
He kept screaming like crazy.
I don't know how much time passed, I stopped when I was satisfied.
I knew he was just an insignificant member of the Black Box Organization, but I didn't think much of it because I just wanted to vent my anger.
Phew~
I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand when I was done torturing—playing with him.
I don't remember if he was one of the people who tortured me in my previous life or not. But even if he wasn't, I would still torture—play with him.
From the start, I did intend to eradicate the Black Box Organization.
It's just, that I didn't expect that they would come straight to me like this.
"Y-you will definitely regret doing this to me. Don't you know what organization I'm in?! If I asked my superiors to kill you, they would definitely kill you. They are strong. You will definitely die!"
"Oh, it's noisy."
Pow!
I kicked his chin until he passed out. Above his bald head, several stars were floating and swirling. He lay helpless.
A few moments later.
I looked around. My head is spinning. I'm not making jokes or anything, but I'm focused on scanning my surroundings like I'm looking for someone.
"Isn't the boss of these bugs going to show up?"
I muttered to myself.
If he doesn't want to appear, I just need to force him to appear.
Then I took out the tools I prepared for this kind of situation. I took the tool out of my pocket.
As I looked at the item in my hand, a system message appeared in front of me.
[Magic Scroll - Magic Detection
Level: Middle
Description:
There is Magic Detection magic in it. When the Magic Scroll is activated, Magic Detection will activate and be able to track the presence of magic elements within a radius of several meters.]
What I'm holding now is a Magic Scroll. This Magic Item is an item I bought from Clarista.
The reason I chose this Magic Item was of course to detect the presence of someone who likes to hide.
'Should I activate this Magic Scroll now?'
I thought in my own heart.
