Hitman With A Badass System

"Huh?" the system's bluish interface flickered, soon, the bluish color turned to something grey, dark.

"What the heck happened? An omega-level warning? What is that?" Many questions riddled his mind,

[System level is too low to answer host's question]

"Why am I not surprised?" Michael sighed, little by little, he began to realize something called Omega is messing with the system. This system was not like a system in the novels he used to read about, the badass system seemed to have a backstory of its own, enemies of its own.

The system was an absolute peak existence in his mind but now, it looked like there's something beyond that. He was nowhere near facing threats on that scale, all he could do for now was getting stronger.

He showed this omega threat to the corner of his mind and focused on his stats,

"System, how much for upgrading the Banker function to level 3?"

A loading icon appeared in front of him, this was new yet he decided not to ask because he knew it might be related to the system running on Safe mode.

[20,000 badass points, the ration will be 1000 gold coins to 10 badass points]

With no hesitation, he willed the system to upgrade the function. In a desperate situation, 100 badass points could save his life, so keeping this function upgraded would let him get those life-saving badass points.

Base of Operation: The Sunrise Sect

Current Leader: Claire Marigold

Level: 1

Number of Members: 34

Status: Declined

Legend: 30 / 1000 (Still a crappy old sect where a 5 Star Alchemist resides)

Compared to before, there was no debt, and The Legend of the sect increased by 10 points. He did not feel demotivated by the measly 10 points increase, he knew the legend would grow after putting his plan for the Broad River sect in motion. Besides, he still didn't give all the spell scrolls he got from the cave, not to mention the 80-100 herbs he plucked from the sky garden.

Furthermore, he was absolutely positive that getting the contract of Aragoth would not only bring him millions of gold coins but also elevate the sect's status.

"Time to learn a new spell" excitement overwhelmed his senses, he opened the system storage, "Ring of Fire"

Spell name: Ring of Fire

Effect: Creates a shockwave of flames and a ring of fire around the caster for a short amount of time.

Upgradable: Upgradable through Mentor Function

Current level: Rare

"System, I wish to learn this spell" In his arsenal, Ignitia acted as both close combat and long-range combat spell. The sword mastery enhanced his close combat skill even further, the only thing he lacked was an area of effect(AoE) spell.

This Ring of Fire could be the fix to that problem.

[Activating Mentor Feature]

[Scanning the Ring of Fire spell...]

[System found improvements to the spell, does the host wish to improve the spell?]

"Yes," he said without hiding the excitement in his heart,

[1000 badass points required to improve the spell]

"Oh, I thought you were going to do this for free" sarcasm overflowed in his tone, "take it"

He experienced the familiar acute pain in his brain, when he opened his eyes, his vision was blocked by a crimson red warning,

[Maximum recommended spell number reached]

[The system advice host to stop learning any more spells before reaching the next stage in cultivation]

[Exceeding the maximum spell number would result in nausea, headache, muscle pain, memory loss, etc]

"Jeez, fuck, I was kinda hoping to learn all these Rare spells to become super op!" The warning really frustrated him, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the frustration. He could not fight the system, the rational thing to do was upgrade the existing spells before learning more despite his desire to learn new spells. The Ring of Fire mastery was at the level of 50%, if he wanted to reach 100%, he had to practice the spell and use this spell more often.

"Alright, I can live with the spells I already have, hey" suddenly Michael remembered something, "System, where are my rewards for upgrading you?"

[...]

"Oh come on, why should I upgrade your ass if you won't give me some sort of rewards?"

[...]

[Host will get rewards after the system terminates the Safe mode ]

"And when would that be?"

[...] The silence made I'm even more frustrated thinking about the 30,000 badass points he spent on upgrading this jerk of a system.

Finally, with a long sigh, he closed the system, letting his eyes bathe in the daylight.

"Sister Aelia!"

"That damn lizard tore my clothes!"

"Huhuhu"

"I'm gonna tear you apart!"

"Sister Aelia, calm down, it's just a baby"

Outside of his room, he heard the yellings, "what now" he sighed and made his way towards the door. He opened the door to see the baby dragon in Cindy's hands while Gaya was waving a thin needle-like stick at the baby dragon.

However, all of them paused seeing him walk out of his room.

"Brother Ghost!"

"HUHUHU!"

Cindy almost threw her hands up, dropping the baby dragon in her hands when she saw him. The baby dragon wagged its tail like a puppy, reached out its claws to shower him with kisses. He crouched down to receive a soft tender kiss from Cindy on one cheek and wet nibbling kisses on the other from the baby dragon.

"Body Strengthening stage level 4, why am I not surprised?" He was just a Body Refining stage cultivator a few weeks ago, now he turned himself into a Body Strengthening stage level 4 warrior. His speed of cultivation was really monstrous, even she couldn't be compared to his speed. Coupled with his war god body and the orc who could summon Netherels, she knew he's going to get even stronger. Although she had a bad feeling about this orc, they had to work with the Orc to grow their strength. The church and the guardians were still searching for Jane's killer, she knew that Celina would soon come looking for Ghost in blind anger. To face a threat like the Church or the guardians, they needed servants like this orc.

"Cindy, when did you reach the Foundation stage?" Michael pecked her on the cheek, ruffling her carefully combed hair.

"Sister Aelia is teaching me to cultivate"

"Really?" Actually, he was surprised to see the selfish snake care about Cindy.

"Huhuhuh"

"I missed you too, baby dragon" the baby dragon was relentlessly kissing all over his face, trying its absolute best to get his attention.

"Cindy, where's your mother?" he carried the little girl in his hand while the baby dragon sat on top of his shoulder. Seeing its human has returned, the baby dragon felt safe, looking at Gaya, it stuck its tongue out giving her a? 'yeah I did tear your clothes' look.

"Don't be too cocky, lizard, I can still squeeze you to death" The hostility he saw the first time in their eyes now became less, at least they didn't kill each other, he thought.

"Mother and little brother is still at River Town"

"I will meet them there, and Aelia" she was lazily laying on the sofa,

"What?" she asked, "I have a gift for you" her face slightly brightened as she stood straight on the sofa. Michael retrieved the femur he got from the skeleton, instantly making everyone in the room feel the pressure.

"Whoa!" Gaya was overwhelmed by the Arch energy radiation coming from the bone, she walked towards him with a slightly opened mouth,

"This is..."

"Yes, a bone of a Fusion stage cultivator" she took the bone with the utmost care from Michael's hand, the baby dragon stared at the bone sensing the power while Cindy just scratched her little head having no idea about the bone.

"You can absorb this energy to reach the next level"

She blankly nodded, still feeling overwhelmed by the energy.

"Do you have more?" he wanted to punch this greedy snake in the face, many would kill to get their hands on a single bone yet, she was asking for more with a serious face.

"Yeah, I have a whole skeleton under my bed" he answered sarcastically, making her chuckle a bit.

"Where to?" She put the bone in her space ring and asked him on his way to the outside, "to expand our herbal garden" he would have given the herbs to Gaya three days ago but these herbs were rare and required his attention while planting, therefore, he kept the herbs until now,

"To the herbi garden!" Cindy shouted joyfully, pointing her finger towards the herbal garden's direction.

"Yes, to the herbi garden"
