Ultimate soul eraser system: otherworldly harem

Going down max could see the reception was a mess, as everything in it had been destroyed. He wondered who'd done this, as he remembered seeing the gangsters break only a few items before heading up the stairs.

"Wait where's-" he didn't finish his words when the old man emerged from underneath the counter, with a pistol in his hands. There was a bit of shock in the lodge owners face seeing max, which then turned to a scowl.

"How are you still alive." He asked with a frown tightly gripping the weapon, his fingers inching closer to the trigger. He'd expected max to be long dead by now, but unfortunately it didn't happen.

"Guess am just lucky." Max smiled, causing the old man to scoff. Max sensed Yuna grab a piece of broken glass from the table behind her, attempting to do something but he signalled her not to with his hand.

"Hmph luck.. you're not lucky but an annoying bug that refuses to die. I hoped those idiots would've taken care of you, but looks like I'll just have to do it myself." The old man then slowly stepped out from the counter, a few steps from max.

Judging from the distance, max guessed he'd reach him with six steps as it wasn't that far. But the challenging part was to be careful not to get hit by any bullets, while doing so.

"You're right, am just an annoying bug." Max softly smiled his hands placed behind his back.

"But this annoying bug's about to bite your head off!" Running at top speed max headed towards the old man, the latter was shocked seeing max suddenly move but he kept his composure, squeezing his fingers on the trigger.

'Bam!' The shot was fired off to max who tried dodging, but could barely shift his body to the side as the bullet pierced his side.

[-5 soul]

'Fuck!' Max cursed in his head, feeling the impact from the bullet pushing him back a bit, a stinging pain coursing through his whole nerves.

[Idiot.. don't try being a hero. It's pathetic, and not to mention you're basically weaker than a child.] Frail mocked max to which he retorded, cursing his system for the pain he was feeling.

He could see the old man was about to fire again, gritting his teeth he stood up continuing in his charge to the grumpy old fart.

'How the hell is he still running after being shot.' There was a bit of concern and fear on the old man's face, seeing max still running towards him. He'd expected the latter to stay down after taking a bullet to the kidney, but surprisingly this junkie could still run.

"I don't know what you're taking, but am still going to kill you!" The old man screamed, frantically firing shots after shot to max.

[-5 soul]

[-5 soul]

[-5...]

[Soul: 10/30]

[Soul is very low user must steal soul to replace his!]

'Well that's a great motivational line.' Max contorted, rolling his eyes at his system. He'd currently stopped running, panting heavily with one foot kneeling to the floor.

'I-impossible.. how is he still alive?' The scruny old man couldn't believe his eyes right now, witnessing max still alive after being shot 4 times. And not only that, but he could also see max wasn't bleeding from the gunshot wounds, as a white light escaped instead.

'Am close, just a bit more.' Max legs were wobbly right now from the running, and the immense pain he was bearing from the gunshot wounds. Every time he got shot he was pushed a step back, making it more dawning on him.

He'd been shot everywhere across his body, from kidney to lungs to heart but he still wasn't dead.

"W-what are you?" Max raised his head a bit hearing the scruny old man voice, he could see him trembling with fear staring at him.

[+ 100 exp for inflicting fear on your enemy.]

[+50 exp for paralysis.]

[+200 exp for making him crap his pants.]

'Haha.. I didn't expect him to turn cold.' Max grinned inwardly, laughing like a villain seeing his plan work. At first he'd panned out another way to kill the old man, but an idea popped right in his head.

As a villain he is, he was going to make the scruny old man fear him before he finally killed him. Though he planned on doing it differently by first torturing him, but in the end his plan worked out either ways.

Standing up max ran forward, taking a big leap too the lodge owner.

"N-no! stay away from me." the old man mumbled, inching backwards as max descended onto him. Causing him to loose his balance, as they both fell down to the floor.

'Bam! Argh..' another shot was fired, hitting max directly in his heart area making a small sized hole. The strange dim white light escaping from max, dispersing into the air.

"Now you've done it." Max spoke in a deep voice, sending chills down the man's spine. The latter tried firing again at max, but unfortunately his gun had been knocked away when they fell, leaving him defenseless.

Lifting the piece of broken glass, max wasted no time in going to work on the scruny old man. He first made a deep horizontal slit by the side of the neck, following it up by stabbing multiple times to the man's shoulder joints.

"Fuck you junkie!" The old man cursed, but max didn't care. infact he enjoyed hearing the screams of his enemies, as they sounded like melodies to his ears.

"Yuna get a knife and cut off of huge chunks of flesh from his legs." Max commanded to which yuna nodded, locating a knife amongst the rubbles. Heading over to max location she did as told, using the small knife to cut off large pieces of flesh from the old man's leg.

"Ahh! G-get off me you fucking savages.. I'll have you arrested, no I'll take your heads. Let me go!" The old man struggled, feeling pieces of his flesh being ripped off. He tried breaking free, but max made sure to pin him to the floor so he couldn't do so.

"Master should I also break his bones?" Yuna asked in an innocent yet seductive manner.

"It would be rude if we didn't." Max chuckled softly. Yuna then proceeded to plunge the knife into the joints of the old timer bones specifically the knees, and ankles. There was resistance at first, but after a couple more times she finally got through.

[Ding! +200 exp for crap and pee in pants]

[Ding! +50 exp for making him beg]

[Ding! +500 exp for shattering his soul]

[Ding!..]

'Huh? I received 500 exp for shattering his soul. But how?' Max received various notifications in his head, indicating experience points he'd earned. But what made him a bit shocked, was seeing the notification he'd received a whooping 500 exp for shattering his soul.

[As expected you don't have any intelligence..] frail mocked in a mischievous tone before continuing.

[There are many ways to break one's soul physically, spiritually and mentally. Physically being the hardest, which requires much complex process and high level skills. Spiritually I technically don't know, but I guess it kinda has to do with the way your soul steal skill works. Lastly, mentally which requires breaking one's feelings emotions e.t.c] frail explained to which max closely listened to. As always his annoying system wasn't of much help, but he grabbed somewhat knowledge.

'I didn't think he'd feelings..' max chuckled lightly seeing the old fart cry. Not wasting anymore time, he decided to end this quickly.

"Wait no.. please, I-i have a family!" The old man suddenly blurted out, seeing the tip of the glass pointed to his head. He didn't want to die, and in an act of desperation he pulled out the family card.

'I-it's working.' He could see max stop his movement, the glass still above his head.

"It's my granddaughter's birthday today, and I promised I wouldn't be late. S-she's turning 09 today, I know you-" the old man didn't finish his words, when max forcefully plunged the glass into the man's skull. Max didn't hold back using all his strength to stab the man's head, breaching his skull as blood flowed out.

Looking in his eyes max could see shock and fear in his eyes staring at him, which then slowly started closing shut.

[Ding! +1000 exp for achieving perfect kill..]

The system notification displayed in his view, indicating he'd successfully killed the old man.

'Perfect kill? Now that's new.' He was surprised to see he'd received 1000 exp for killing the old man, but what caught his interest was the word his system termed it with.

[Ahh.. do I have to always explain shit.] Frail sarcastically spoke, seemingly annoyed which made max smile.

[This is the last question you get to ask today! Anyways.. perfect kill simply means the all rounded kill, according to the system objectives. It basically means torturing your prey in the most sadistically, fetish way possible.]
