Ocular Menace: Misadventures of a Man with many Eyes

Johnathan Reed had just finished celebrating his 18 birthday, when like any self-respecting novel protagonist, died to the hands of Truck-Kun. He laments in his last moments the fact he never made it past 24 hours of adulthood, and should have looked before crossing the road. Next thing he knows he's in a old medieval style house. After successfully running away from the house, and whatever problems might come from meeting people, he's in the middle of nowhere until he hears the classic *Ding* any gamer would be familiar with. The Art Is Not Mine. If you are the owner of the art and want it down. let me know and I'll oblige. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Do I have you interested? please do let me know of any feedback you have, as again, this is solely for my own enjoyment and to improve my literary skills. I'm the only person proofreading this, and the grammar is probably killing you, so just bear with me, because English was never my best subject Also my jokes could be unfunny, let me know. Also I will do my best for compelling characters, but again first time writing. so stuff like romance might flop and be underwhelming for people and is probably gonna be a side bit, not the main focus and later on.

Purgatory

After lighting the building on fire, he receives a quest.

[You have found the black market, somewhere your conscious cannot allow to exit. Burn it to the ground, and destroy it's backers]

[Rewards]

[10000000000 exp] [500000 Skill points] [The [Apostle of Justice] Title] [All Seeing Eye] [Anatomy Knowledge] [An Undisclosed area will be added to your pocket dimension]

As soon as the fire spreads outside, he starts causing more, soon the whole market is in disarray. Screams can be heard as he sense the fire spreading, leaving the once bustling marketplace burning to the ground. While everyone is running away, a few masked individuals approach him, all with weapons drawn. He had Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu swirling around him, leaving little to be guessed about who the culprit of this incident was.

He then sends the shards of his weapons out to go kill anyone they see, as he had already planted eyes on each shard. The people in front of him are no exception, their heads suddenly falling to the floor, eyes wide in shock.

After around 10 minutes, the marketplace was nothing but ash, and he was standing in the center of the chaos, when over 1000 masked individuals approach him, all of them with various weapons drawn, however around 20 of them radiated an aura 3 to 4 times stronger than that of the old king.

They just stare at each other, nothing is said or done visibly for a good few minutes, before Johnathan suddenly moves all of the shards of Tsukuyomi he had place around into the heads of the strong ones, unfortunately for him, 4 survived, and one didn't even have a scratch on them. He then sends out his swords to cut up the rest of the masked individuals who he deemed fodder. After using his swords, he pulls out his guns and starts shooting at the stronger individuals. He then dashes up to the closet one using descent of the emperor and knees one of them in the mask, then wrapping his legs around their neck. Seeing an opportunity, one of the masked figures tries to impale Johnathan and his comrade, the masked induvial Johnathan has by the throat is slammed backwards into the ground.

Johnathan had quickly kicked the man up and used his foot through portal to slam him around. The barrel of Dragon's Sigh is pointed right into the lunging mans face, while Vampire's kiss is pointed at the grounded man. Their heads explodes like watermelons, covering Johnathan in blood and brains, he doesn't even blink and looks towards the remaining 2 individuals, they soon start launching lighting and earth magic attacks towards him. Due to the threat of the impending lighting bolts he opens a portal above to where the lighting would land, and sends it right into the other mans backside, while dodging the earth spikes and shooting his guns at the lighting mage. The lighting mages arm is ripped off, but otherwise he had avoided major damage, while the earth mage didn't appear to sustain any damage. He then keeps shooting at the lighting and earth mages, however the earth mage blocks all the bullets shot. He then teleports one of his hands right in front of the earth mage, he quickly pulls the trigger. While he had tried his best to dodge, half of his face was missing, reveling a bearded man. He turns towards the lighting mage and puts his guns away, he then dashes towards them bare-handed and launches a flying kick to their abdomen. They jump backwards only to a flying kick to the back of the head, knocking them out cold. Johnathan then lights the battlefield on fire and picks up the unconscious body and leaves the battlefield and heads right back to his room inside the palace.

When he arrives, he doesn't really have any idea how to make sure the masked man stayed silent, but he figured it was nothing his vampire eyes and dragon's fear couldn't deal with. Before waking the man up, he decided to look over his new rewards.

While they weren't massive explosions or massive power boosters, they still had their uses and Johnathan had a few questions about how many worked anyways, and what better way to learn than seeing it yourself. After this little integration session, he would compare how his body works to another person, and then add some stat points to see the difference in-between him and someone regular human. He then starts the interrogation by switching his eyes into his vampire eyes, and slaps the individual awake. It seemed bad habits would die hard.

"What is your position in the underworld?"

"Branch manager"

"Where is the real underworld, and who is leading it."

"The underworld isn't located on any of the 6 main continents it's locat-" The individuals head suddenly explodes, covering Johnathan in more brain mush and blood. He was getting very fed up with the amount of brain matter he would find himself covered in. He then teleports away and goes to clean himself in the shower of his home.

Did some chapter reediting, found the old chap I had called visiting the underworld just a bad chapter. It works better as an addon to last chap. Hence the change.
