Pyro POV

So... after I cured the queen, I decided to make pizza... well... I have more or less good mastery in cooking... but I decided to order maids around a bit... not like they were against it... Funny thing is when I asked for their help... they all got nosebleeds... What did they imagined that time? Oh and Souris is currently training in the arts of assassination... and she doesn't know it, but she's half elf... High human and Light Elf... Yeah... and have quite good affinity in light, darkness, shadow and somewhat illusion. Well... anyway she's currently being trained by Ozelot in basics of magic, and will soon be traveling to the Arachnees with me... Cute spider girls... Oh... wait... I forgot to... nevermind... I will just search for the cave Aeshia mentioned... wait... Hey Bianca! Can I use some sort of tracking spell?

Depends. You can use you psychic powers to search for the individual, but not item.

Really? Cool... yeah... levelup... need upgrade psychic and fire masteries... oh and light with illusion... and mana... and I think void, space and time... Oh and necromancy...

and-

You do remember that it's quite expensive, right?

… Shit... um... we need to claim some money, right?

Yes. And at least few tons...

…

Sure... Any idea where we can find some 'spare' gold?

Kingdom treasury.

… NOPE! I already made a rucus... we need some noble treasury... ! TRADERS!!!

Merchants... yes and a few nobles... will do...

Another Heist?

I am just an accountant...

Working for a crime lord!

…

So... I decided to go for some respected merchants, nobles... well... most guys with high amount of wealth... and... I leveled up my illusion mastery... along with space and time... space, time, void and chaos actually have quite an annoying leveling system actually... until adequate it's the same principle, but after it's also multiply by two... so leveling up them to competent will be (5+3)*2 or 16... next is (16+5)*2 or 42... so I upgraded them both to expert and mastered illusion... psychic and fire... What? I like burning things... how I miss my rifle... it was a customized and heavily modified Barret M107A1 with .50 cal... and I always had incendiary ammo... Oh and suppressor... It was actually quite hard to order one... but... 'Troglodytes' made it, along with my rifle and mods for it... it was so cool... I remember one time I needed to assassinate Pope... oh it was so fun... I mean he traveled in his pope-mobile and the shot was right between his eyes... not like it could be checked, if not for the camera that filmed it... Oh and he was ignited... one word... FUN! Imagine the shock of those 'believers'... remembering it always make me smile... Oh and the one who ordered was some cardinal... he also ordered two more assassinations of other cardinals, but that was not as fun. I mean using some 9 year old kid as a suicide bomber? Was quite fun, but... it was not the kill I wanted to make... fucking pedos... now thinking about it... maybe that's why my holy affinity is negative?

Anyway... back to the new Heist... I am currently thinking of robbing two merchants and three nobles... don't care about their names. I mean do you ask the cow how it's called, when you prepare it? No? Me too. So... let's start the game.

First one is the merchant... well first ones are merchants, as nobles will be 'milked' later... I mean nobles usually have some useless stuff instead of gold, while merchants useless stuff AND gold. So the first one should be merchant...

Infiltrating the first one's house was quite easy... but... amount of gold was disapointing... still he had some platinum coins... and I casted dispel on them as there was some magic...

Next one had a lot of gold, but... infiltrating his house was quite annoying... so much annoying detectors... anyway... he had much less platinum coins, but about twice the gold of previous.

Nobles were a bit more... fun... besides gold coins they had golden statues, golden chests, one had a golden pillow!

All in all the heist brought me 9.8 tons of gold after 'taxes'... 196'000 coins or 1'960 points...*sigh* I wish I could get more...anyway besides the points I got 67 platinum coins... it's like 67'000 gold... Oh and few thousand silver coins... around a hundred thousand of them... good having a bit of change... well it's actually copper that is considered change, but... let's be serious... what hero would carry copper coins in his pouch?

So... currently I have 117 platinum coins, over 100'000 silver, few thousand copper... yeah... I know... and over 9'000 gold... funny, no? Oh and those coins that system provided can be used for buying some stuff in system shop, like books, potions, ammo and other stuff...

Anyway... I need to spend some points...

…

So... after I spent them on my masteries I decided to walk around. And guess what? Robbers... again.

Robber 1: “Your money or your life!” See? They never Learn... So... let's make an experiment. Let's try the Life Steal.

Robber 2: “What the-” hm... so... I can store life force? For what? Let's try death touch.

Robber 3: “Get Away fro-” so death touch kills immediately... third one will get the dehydration... and... he's a mummy... husk, whatever... let's try to kindle a little flame on it... and... it burns quite fast... cool... Wish I had more test subjects... wait... I still didn't get to the bandit lair inside the capital... would be fun to experiment a bit...

…

It's ME, Narrator! POV

City of Vertgass. It's considered the most 'civilized' place on the continent, by humans at least. Here you will be able to easily travel around, meet a lot of good people, trade and do other stuff, in the daytime... at night or in the slums, your life will be in danger. Citizens of first and second circles are safe behind their walls, but third circle is not safe at night. Thiefs, thugs and other unlawful elements of human society are operating in the slums and Third circle. There are a lot of different groups, like illegal slave traders, drug dealers, 'protectors' and others. The most notorious one is the organization, which has branches in all the fields, 'Gluttony'. They have the most resources of the crime syndicates, and have connections in the nobility, as a lot of nobles had dealings with them at some point of time. Due to them having 'friends' in upper echelons, they could act almost without restrains. Therefore they had a treasures even more treasures than royalty. Unfortunately for them one individual learned of it after... interrogation... of one of the bosses. It was the same person that robbed the Great Nobles, Pyro. Currently he had morphed into the Darkness form.

Pyro: “So little human... do you want to know?” as usual... he played with the bandits... “I am so hungry for souls... I wish you could tell me about your friends... so I can devour them...”.

Mini-Boss: “HEY, I DON'T KNOW! I SAID WHERE THE BASE IS LOCATED! SPARE ME!” but the Pyro had different idea in mind.

Pyro: “Oh... little bandit... I wish you could tell me more... but seeing you so... miserable... I just want to end your suffering... Be happy... you will become my sustenance...” and so he lighlty touched the bandit and sapped his life. “Not bad... I wish for more though...” and so he continued with his business...

Meanwhile the gang celebrated another successful deal. This time it was the increase in production of Moondust drug. This drug is used by the nobles for... let's just say it is the fantasy equivalent of viagra. Side effects were increased rage and uncontrollable lust... which is why usually the nobles who bought it also bought some slaves to play with.

Currently the boss of a 'Gluttony' was waiting for the other associate to arrive. Today was the day of the gathering. This was the day when new goals were discussed. This time it was also discussing about the meddling of the heroes.

Drug ring Leader: “From the agents in the castle we learned of the queen's situation. She was cured by some hero.”

Raid ring Leader: “Fucking heroes! We could have used the cure as a bargain with king.”

DL: “We could, but then he would connect the dots and see us as the ones who poisoned her in the first place. And we lost the support of Mossberry family.”

Slave ring Leader: “How did we lost it? We had the blackmail material, so he couldn't”

DL: “He was found out and executed at the ball, along with the rest of his family and our agents.”

Assassin ring Leader: “Presumably it was the work of the hero and his accomplices. According to our agents his name is Kuro. And he's the strongest of current heroes, as well as the most cruel.”

RL: “So what? Just kill him and be done with it.”

AL: “It'll be problematic to say the least. He wiped out the Blood Throats single handedly.”

Leaders: “What?!”

AL: “Blood throats, along with the Rat were killed. Mossberry was sold out by either the 'Slash' or 'Rat', before being killed.”

SL: “Fuck! We lost the supplier of gladiators.”

DL: “Anyway today we also...”

As they continued the meeting, the feast was in it's finest. Especially for the newcomer.

Bandit: “Who the fuck are you?” it was the regular question for the newcomers.

???: “I am the Despair...”

Bandit: “... One of Assassins, huh?”

???: “I am the shadow... I am the Darkness... I am DEATH...” and with such words the bandit dropped like a puppet with it's strings cut. “I AM THE HARBRINGER OF DEATH!” with such words the darkness enveloped the building.

…

Bandit POV

Some Bandits: “-We drink from your skulls, the wine and the mead, we rape your women, both wife and the child, and no one can say a word 'bout it! We-” Geh. Morons!

Me: “SHUT UP AND DRINK!”

Other bandit: “And don't forget the pussies we caught!” oh yes... we caught around fifteen women on that caravan raid. Losers!

Bandit: “Yeah! I don't want to be left out!” And I won't go. I prefer humans, and there were only one, and it was that fat merchant. Couldn't he take with him some human slave? Fucker.

Bandits: “YEAH!”

…

Celebrating this stuff was fun... Moondust... Wine... Sex... wait... why am I naked? I think I used it and fucked some of the slaves? Fuck...

???: “Oh... it seems like lowlife has awakened.” Lowlife?

Me: “Who the fuck are you?”

???: “Oh... I am harbringer... you will soon die... just like the rest of your kind.”

Me: “It's you who will- GYAAA!!!” Fuck! My... HAND!!!

???: “Don't speak when not asked. I want get some gold. You know where it is, are you not?”

Me: “FUCK!!! YOU FUCKING A-” *Slap*

???: “Don't worry... I just need a nod for yes, if not then sake. Answer where is the gold?”

Me: “FUCK YOU BASTARD!”

???: “Then, let's do it just like with the rest of them. Just don't forget to scream.” wait... rest?

I looked around and noticed... all others were... butchered... all of them... including slaves.

Me: “I'll talk! It's up-”

???: “Good boy. Good sacrifice.” wait what? Everything is so dark...

…

Pyro POV

GAH!!! I hate looking through their memories! FUCK!!! at least I know where are the leaders located and the treasury... Let's kill the leaders, and then steal everything. Leaders should be somewhere in the basement, and the treasury is also located somewhere there...

Now I am standing before the room where the meeting is proceeding.

Pyro: “Hello there.” Cool... they are looking at me with... eh... dagger glare?

RL: “Who the fuck are you?” if I could describe it's clothing, then it's some merc in steel plate mail, greatsword and tower shield.

AL: “Hmm... How about we negotiate?” leather armor... daggers... throwing knives... let's kill him first... by... icy flame... “WHA-?” and he was frozen... fun.

RL: “COME HERE YOU-” and let's use lightning against him... smokey... and he was turned to ash... and equipment melted... boring...

SL: “What do you want? Gold? Slaves? Drugs?”

Pyro: “I want your souls...” and... those two pissed themselves let's use life steal and be done with it... hm? Interesting ring he has there? Let's take everything from them and then steal the gold... oh and BURN THIS SHITHOLE!!!

…

Oh and steal some intact corpses... I need corpses for Bones... heh... need to tell him that he should only create skeletons... I hate zombies...

Oh yes... I gained some points... and left for myself 100'000 coins... and found few more platinum coins bringing me to a total of 153 platinum coins. About other stuff I don't really care. Oh and let's level up charisma to legendary...
