YM778.TV Chapter 27 27: Error?
He then looked towards Phil who appeared to finally become cognizant of his surroundings. The disgust he felt for him only grew stronger the more he saw him struggle about.
"Ahh! Wa-"
Noah was growing annoyed having to experience this feeling, he stepped down forcibly on Phil\'s back without any forewarning, forcing him to the ground.
Before Phil could attempt to cry his way out any longer, He brought the mallet and slammed it down into the back of his neck causing his face to ricochet off the ground. Everyone thought the fight that turned out into a one sided murder to be over, but then they saw Noah raising the mallet again before striking it down into Phils skull once more, and then again, and again.
The strikes continued until the tenth swing when Phils skull and face were no longer recognizable to be a human body part. The disgust he has been feeling has finally subsided. It wasn\'t until he looked at the mess that he created that he had to recognize that something may be wrong with him. He realized that his feelings have been intense as of yet since everything started, but he couldn\'t figure out if he was always so unhinged or if it was maybe due to his new title.
\'Well…it\'s not like I mind it. It feels so damn good to be able to vent out my frustrations. Besides…\' He then looked over to the mixed expressions of horrified and sickly spectators, the unsettling scene caused many of them to empty the contents of their stomachs.
\'I\'d rather be how I am now then like them.\'
His gaze then landed on Dave, the first victim to be put down by the spider and then to Ken. The scene now left him speechless, Ken\'s body resembles closely to a mummified corpse!
"You gluto- Nevermind, you can wait!" Noah was preparing to chastise the spider and its voracious appetite, but he noticed a chest, and not just any chest but it was a GOLDEN chest.
Any thought he had previously didn\'t matter, everyone, including his spider and the people around him no longer existed as he hurriedly made his way to the chest.
He didn\'t forget his usual ritual of opening it slowly. While he did so, he was already blinded by the golden light, he wasn\'t sure if it was the abundant amount of gold or something else, but his emotions were over the moon.
\'God, father, Supreme Being, Daddy! Whatever you want to be called, I take back all I said before about you and not being fair about the drop rates, I love you!\'
Luckily for Noah, the god-like being wasn\'t keeping a conscious effort to pay attention to minor things such as human thoughts or he would probably put in effort to rig drop rates for Noah even more so Noahs \'love\' wouldn\'t become a creepy obsession.
While Noah was opening the chest, he wasn\'t aware of the eye grabbing attention that was brought upon himself due to the glow the chest exhibited. Even though many of the people there were hopeless individuals who were scared to fight. They still had killed a zombie or two just to be able to reach here or they at least followed someone who did.
Naturally they all knew the significance of the chest by this time and the benefits obtained from them. The looks towards him varied between envy and jealousy, but their fear of him never subsided. There were only a small amount of those stares that looked on with a different emotion. They looked at him for protection.
Even though some of them looked on with hostility, none of them made a move. Especially when they noticed the giant spider now hovering around Noah who was also attracted towards the light. It felt the excitement from its master and was curious about what could make him feel that way. Its first thought was delicious food, but it only became confused when it couldn\'t spot a hearty meal inside the small container.
Its initial curiosity waned so it curiously looked around for something else to alleviate its boredom. Soon its eyes spotted Dave farther on the side.
Its own emotions mirror Noah\'s excitement when it realized it could consume another fresh meal. Its master did say it could have the one who ran away and the shorter one so it unhesitatingly made its way towards Dave to enjoy itself once again. Its loyalty for Noah started to rise, it was repeatedly stopped from feeding by the other humans but now it was able to feed without any interruptions now that it followed him. But most importantly, it could feel that both it and its master were helping each other grow stronger. It rubbed its fangs in joy before sinking them into Dave.
"HaHAhaHAHAHa!"
Meanwhile Noah was having a laughing stroke when he viewed the item causing the glow. It was a sheet of parchment like the others that held the stats and skills that he could roll for. But this one was unique, the writing was written in a golden ink that shined and would appear to glow when reflecting the light. And that wasn\'t the only change, instead of having to roll for a random skill, he was able to directly obtain the skill received as an achievement.
He was ecstatic beyond belief, part of him honestly wanted to go around hunting down people for the chance to get their skills, but he calmed himself down to not be blinded by greed. He already had to survive against monsters and the few vile humans he will surely meet in the future. He didn\'t want to have the entire world as his enemy. How could he fully enjoy himself if everyone wants to kill him?
Now that he was able to withhold his laughter, he finally put all of his attention to the parchment, but his smile never left his face.
[Unique skill \'Insatiable Fighter\' confirmed! Would you like to learn the skill? Y/N]
"Yes of course I want to learn the skill! Why even bother asking?" He admonished the system in his excitement. He was becoming impatient at the idea of becoming stronger and the fact that he couldn\'t see the description of the skill, but what he could decipher from the name itself. It intensified his restlessness which made him slightly irritable.
\'WHAT THE HELL?\'
And yet the following notification didn\'t help his rising temper.
[Insatiable Figh- Error! Error! Because the kill was Achieved by your tamed monster, due to the class Monster Tamer, the achievement has been changed to \'Insatiable Hunter\']
Noah didn\'t like where this was going, instead of overthinking, he made his way to the skill to view its description.
[Insatiable Hunter(Lvl 0)- Your thirst for battle empowers your tame monster\'s strength by a proportion of your stamina. Ten percent of your stamina transfers over to your tamed monster\'s strength.]
After reading the skill and then reading it over once more, Noahs could only blankly stare into space. He was happy that he achieved a skill, but it wasn\'t what he wanted at this time. Not only did the skill not benefit himself personally, but the skill that was supposed to be \'unique\' didn\'t feel so unique from its description. He felt that he was being cheated again and he didn\'t like this feeling. He had to rack his brain for a reason why everything turned out the way it did. Even if the reason he came up with wasn\'t the truth, he at least wanted an answer that left him satisfied so it wouldn\'t continue to bug him.
"Is it because the achievement wasn\'t achieved by me so the skill got nerfed?" He thought back to when he received his class change. The system had talked about choosing out of three choices that catered to the user. His eyes regained focus when he remembered that important detail.
\'I\'m sure I\'m not wrong…It\'s either that or God is being petty again for me celebrating too early…Oops! I didn\'t mean petty, I meant picky! Wait, no! Just don\'t listen to me, I didn\'t mean it.\'
He tried to quickly correct himself, he still hasn\'t finished checking his loot and he will have to open more chests in the future, he didn\'t want to paint a target on himself and curse his luck.
He quickly proceeded to check the rest of the chest\'s contents as he whistled innocently, the constant mood changes and his weird behavior confused many of the onlookers who still haven\'t stopped watching him.
Sadly no matter how much he shuffled through the gold, he wasn\'t able to find anything else. He was hoping for more since this was his first gold chest, but when he thought about it, the skill alone was worth it. It may be nerfed but it was still a unique skill that could be leveled up which will be extremely beneficial in the long run.
His gloominess over the lack of items didn\'t last long, he became excited once more as he stored the large amount of gold into where it went, his mind, soul or system, it didn\'t matter to him as long as it was his.
He wasn\'t sure how much he gained, he wanted to check his status to see how much gold he accumulated and now that he was no longer distracted. He also realized that slight disturbance in the back of his mind again, signifying another notification, but he was unsure what it could be.

"!" The first thing that caught his eye was the differences in stats. Not including his magic or his spirit stats, the spider easily had more than twenty body stats more than he did and it still had an extra five stats to add on. Thankfully he wasn\'t as surprised to see the insane stats because he was expecting it when he saw the display of the spider earlier. He assumed that most of the animals out there would be the same way, but seeing it was still unsettling. Not only were his stats a little surprising but also its level.
"It\'s already on level 5? How did it level up so much when I had to kill so many fucking zombies? Wait….Maybe killing humans gives more experience than mindless zombies. Did I also get a lot of experience just now then? He quickly opened his status to check.

\'So it\'s true! No wonder it leveled up so fast…It seems like we\'re meant to be the monsters stepping stones to get strong faster. I think I was at 15 exp before and I killed these three plus the dog before…wait I can\'t forget about the other guy the spider killed just after I tamed it. It\'s easily over 30 exp for a human kill. If I knew how much that dog was worth then I could be more sure. But this doesn\'t change the goal of leveling up, but I have to be careful if humans are buffing the monsters with their deaths.
And with the amount of gold I have now, I better be able to buy something good. One of the guys before mentioned that he was close to being able to buy something he was interested in so I\'m sure I have more than enough now to get something. I should hurry and check it out before more people have the same idea to come here.\'
Now that Noah checked what he needed to see, he prepared himself to leave. He\'s noted before that his skills show the progression of what he assumes should be when it will level up, but since he isn\'t close to leveling up any of them he hasn\'t been in a rush to check them as of yet. Now that he thought about it, besides the time he had to keep watch for the vulture, he\'s never really had the time to rest.
Having recollected his thoughts, his eyes quickly wandered to find his spider\'s location which he quickly spotted finishing its next meal.
"Sigh….can a spider lose stats for becoming fat?" He muttered exasperatedly, he\'s never seen an overweight spider before but he was sure that his would be the first. He decided to start collecting the weapons of the three people they killed instead of nagging it for only thinking about eating for the time being.
It only took a few mins to gather the weapons. He now wore the two metal gloves and placed the two axes into his bag, alongside his bloody mallet that he tried to wipe off on Phils clothing. He just couldn\'t close the bag all the way anymore, but it was better than leaving them for someone else, all the while carrying the two handed axe in his hands.
"Hey!" He turned toward Henry who never moved from his original spot.
"H-HUH? Wh-what do you want? I didn\'t help them, you saw I didn\'t help them don-"
"Will you shut up? Just point me in the direction of the person we can buy from." Noah\'s annoyed stared nipped Henry\'s dramatic emotions before he became annoying.
Nervously, Henry pointed to the top of the staircase where the door was that just happened to have Zack still cowering near it. Zack was probably the most fearful out of everyone in the group, when he noticed that Noah was planning on coming up, he hurriedly ran down the stairs and fumbled before rolling down the rest. But that didn\'t stop him from picking himself up in a hurry as he limped to the cafeteria with the rest.
Noah was satisfied with Zack\'s display, at least more so than Henry who needs to always talk when he panics.
"Hey glutton!"
He yelled towards the spider, his voice and his intent made the spider aware that he was needed. It stopped what it was doing while it directed almost all of its focus to Noah. It couldn\'t prevent itself from still eyeing its food, but that\'s what its other eyes were for.
"Sigh…." Noah noticed this and could only feel that the spider was a helpless case when it came to food, but he could use this.
"I\'ll let you have the other one too, but you have to keep a lookout for me alright? Go up there with me and keep watch."
Noah soon ascended the stairs, he didn\'t have to hear a confirmation from the spider when he could tell from the spider\'s excitement that it agreed. Now all his thoughts were on the hooded man and what he could buy to improve his strength.
