Step 4.5

Looking through the next hundred and fifty messages gave me a nervous tic and a strong desire to shake the neck of their author. These messages did not contain any useful or necessary information, but there was a lot of it. Here, for example, is the first day in the hospital:

*Param pampam.

*Sleep in your bed, health restored, all negative effects removed.

*Param pampam.

*You have eaten, stamina restored, +5 to HP for an hour.

But this is still bearable and carries at least some useful information, but here's the next message:

*Param pampam.

*You shit your pants.

*Param pampam.

*You've been in the shit for an hour.

And there were plenty of similar reports on all of life's cases inherent in infants.

I was about to delete everything without reading it, but the message about another mental attack and penetration into the subconscious, with the subsequent exit from it, and with only four percent damage. Made me refuse to do such an act. For another hour I scrupulously looked through this spam until the message popped up:

*Param pampam.

*Intellect - 1

The system responded to all my indignations with a deadly silence. After reviewing another hundred and fifty messages, I was stripped of one more point of intellect. All my attempts to appeal to reason and logic were ignored by the system.

After all, it is not logical to remove the intelligence for hard mental work, because in another way to call reading these masterpieces, my tongue does not rotate. But after another hundred and fifty messages I was again taken off a unit of intellect, for which I was already in the voice swearing at the system, but my expressive speech was interrupted for technical reasons.

Because in a galaxy far away, the stars in relation to our moon, were very unfortunate for me, I went for two long hours to reflect on life and the influence of celestial bodies on it.

Crawling out of the bathroom that had become so familiar to me (well, I've been in this apartment a little over seven hours, four of which were spent in the toilet),i decided to test a theory that occurred to me after two hours of philosophical reasoning.

After all, if something strange happens once, it can be considered an accident, if it happens again, you can write it off as coincidence, but three times, this is a pattern.

And my intuition tells me that they removed my intelligence for a reason, but for some action of mine, either because it was wrong or because of inaction.

I got to the bed and laid my frail body on it, so I put my theory to the test.

- Uh...m System settings, message filter - I hesitantly uttered the command and froze in anticipation.

Just a second later, a settings window popped up in front of me, with the "filter" and "message settings" boxes highlighted. And then a message about increasing intelligence and wisdom by one, and intuition by two. Except for the usual "Param pam pam".Except the usual "Param pam " sounded like "you finally get it".

After adjusting the filter, the number of messages decreased tenfold, and the rest were categorized. Following the chronology, I opened the first achievement I received.

*Param pampam.

*Congratulations!!!

*You've shit yourself a thousand times, and spent a thousand hours in the poop.

*You got the "Little Asshole" achievement.

*"Little Asshole":

*Chance of getting into a bad smelling story +15%.

*Chance of getting out of the sh**clean +8%.

*Warning!!!

*This achievement is able to evolve if special conditions are met.

There were no words, only emotions, and those were obscene. Now how do I live with such an achievement, and it's not about the chance of getting into trouble, but the name and the method of obtaining it.

For obtaining it, we have to thank the workers of the children's ward of the hospital, who were indifferent to their duties, but only in my case.

My debt to them just went up a lot, and now just knocking them down won't be enough.

I was pleased with the first skills I learned, not super of course, but compared to the first achievement, everything will look much better than it could have been. Even though there were two, they seemed to me to be variations of one.

*Param pampam.

*Congratulations!!!

*Skill created by action: "Evil Laugh of the Dark Lord" level MAX.

*"The evil laughter of the Dark Lord."

*Causes everyone who hears it to feel anxious and shivery.

*Param pampam.

*Congratulations!!!

*Skill created by action: "Laughter of the Mad Scientist Vivisector" level MAX.

*"Laughter of the Mad Scientist Vivisector":

*When performed by you, causes a nervous tic in a narrow range of people.

*+100 reputation with Orochimaru.

The next chronological group of messages, was received in one short period of time, in a matter of three minutes.

In the first case, I took critical but non-lethal damage, and was saved by the upgraded Gamer's Body ability, leaving me with one HP and regeneration. Then one person "accidentally" dropped me.

But the skills I gained, I think, were worth it.

*Param pampam.

*Congratulations!!!

*Skill created by action: "Face of Shinigami" Extra Level.

*"Shinigami's Face":

*Causes an attack of superstitious terror in the victim.

*The power of the skill varies from mild discomfort to lethal, and depends on the value of

HP, willpower, fortitude, and the level of the user relative to the target.

*Param pampam.

*Congratulations!!!

*Skill created by action: " Yaki" level 1.

*" Yaki":

*Causes an attack of fear, disorientation, and hallucinations in the victim.

*The power of the skill depends on the level of skill, will, and strength of mind using

relative to the target.

*Warning!!!

*This skill is compatible with "Shinigami's Face", the effect increases when used

simultaneously.

The rest of the messages made me very happy, because I somehow managed to activate and combine the Shinigami Face and Yaki skills, and hit the b**ch with them.

And most importantly, the impact was lethal. I got three hundred experience points, and since this was the first kill, and the enemy was superior to me in level, the experience received was tripled.

There was even a loot, a "Soul Crystal". But it was nothing compared to the feeling of satisfaction from the revenge.

I was supposed to feel remorse, though, because I'd killed a human being, but I felt good and happy. There must be something wrong with me, and the system confirmed that I was taking my first steps toward becoming a Dark Lord.

*Param pampam.

*You have already mastered the evil laugh and take the lives of innocents without remorse, you already have one step on the dark side.

*P.S

*There's not much left to do, get a full black armor with a cloak and a creepy helmet, get telekinesis abilities, and most importantly, learn how to bake special Cookies.

So she did not faint, but died (at this point there should have been an evil laugh, but for reasons of conspiracy I had to refrain).

It's a good thing I didn't know that at the time, or I would have been caught in the act, unable to hide my excitement.

And gaining a cool skill, reinforced the belief in the execution of my cunning plans.

But after carefully studying the skill, and the situation in which it was applied, I was forced to admit that the skill is not so cool.

From the description it was clear that the power of the skill depends on many indicators, such as the amount of HP, willpower, fortitude, and level.

Clearly, she was superior to me in every way, while I managed to kill her, the more powerful my opponent was, the easier it was for me to scare him to death, I did not believe.

After much thought, I came to the conclusion that it's all about the amount of HP, or rather its minimum value, one HP at the time of using the skill.

It was logical: the closer I got to death, the stronger the ability tied to the god of death. The system validated my conclusions, adding one to intelligence and wisdom.

After such news, the message about gaining the meditation skill somehow lost its significance. I had to dig through the filter to remove the messages about killing mosquitoes and gaining experience from them. The last achievement I got, however, ruined my improved mood a bit.

*Param pampam.

*Congratulations!!!

*You killed a thousand mosquitoes with extreme cruelty and cynicism.

*You got the achievement of "Fumitox" - that's why they don't bite.

*"Fumitox":

Creates around the body, a continuous, constant aura with a radius of two centimeters from the skin, which instantly kills all small insects.

Reputation with members of the Aburame clan -1000.

And here again, the ability is awesome, you can not be afraid of being bitten to death at night, but the name, a little strained. The message parsing was over, and I decided to deal with the rest tomorrow with a clear head, and went to bed.
