YM778.TV Chapter 67 67. Another Sin...?
He spent two more days amassing points.
...
[Time left for the investigator\'s arrival: 3 days]
"Yawn* Fuck… that was crazy… ugh my head hurts," Logan said jokingly while he sniffed the lingering scent of women on his body.
He was completely satisfied with the results of another orgy and the massive points gained.
For the past few days after his success with <Spiritual Sword>, he spent a lot of time in lustful acts to gain as many as points he could.
Now that he was done with that, he sat on his couch and opened the system.
[Evil Points: 79,369]
A smile appeared on his face when he saw his balance. His efforts were not futile, and now, it was time for him to get prepared for the investigator\'s arrival.
So proceeding with his plans,
"Sinner\'s roulette"
Logan said and a roulette appeared in front of him. It was his curiosity and desire to acquire another sin from the system.
…
[Sinner\'s Roulette]
<Would you like to spin the sinner\'s roulette?>
<Yes> <No>
[Cost: 60,000 Evil Points]
…
Now that he had sufficient points, he wanted to take a chance on his next sin and he already had a sin in his mind.
Although Logan felt the price had shot up from the last time, the system convinced him of a valid reason for the price inflation.
[Host, The upgraded system shop provides some freebies along with the purchase, hence, the host need not worry about the inflated price.]
Logan wanted to protest against such forced inflation, but he was in no position to do so against the System.
…
<Would you like to purchase spin the Sinner\'s roulette?>
<Yes> <No>
When the system asked again, "Yes, confirm the purchase." He immediately agreed. A moment later, a giant roulette appeared in front of him.
[Sloth, Greed, Pride, Lust, Envy, Wrath, and Gluttony.]
It had the seven sins written on the wheel in golden letters. Since Logan already had the [Lust], the [Lust] was then removed from the roulette.
…
<Would you like to spin the roulette?>
<Yes> <No>
"Yes," As the system received the confirmation, the roulette spun.
Swoosh!
Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.
After moving at a high speed for some time, the roulette gradually slowed down. As it slowed down, the ticking sound of the pin excited Logan.
"..."
A minute or so later, the roulette stopped completely, and the pin rested on…
<Ding!>
<Congratulations host!>
<The host has acquired another sin, the sin of [Envy].>
It was exactly what Logan wanted!
<Ding!>
<The host has acquired 5 items along with the sin of [Envy]>
Logan\'s eyes widened in surprise.
...
An hour passed,
One after another, Logan checked the items and their description again and again. He couldn\'t help but get excited after looking into them.
The freebies he had received from the system were astonishing.
…
1) [Earth Spikes]
Description: A spell that could be used for the creation of spikes from the earth.
Rank: <uncommon>
2) [World Collapse]
Description: An illusion spell, as its level increases the host can even put an entire city under an illusion. However, at the basic level, it could only put a person under an illusion for an hour.
Rank: <Mythical>
3) [Bound (demonic)]
Description: A demonic charm that is used to bind something. The things bound in these chains cannot break free.
Time limit: 35 seconds.
Rank: <unique>
...
His eyes kept on widening along with the smile on his face.
Although the first three items did not feel too great, for Logan, it was what he needed!
As for the remaining two items…
"Hahaha..." At first, he giggled a little but then,
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Damn! It was worth it! Indeed! Fuck!! HAHAHAHAHAH!"
Logan laughed and danced like a crazy kid who had his first kiss.
Lara, Lisa, Anna, and the maids along with his servants saw this scene with amused expressions. They didn\'t know what happened, but looking at their master being so happy, they also felt happy.
That night, there was a feast at Logan\'s mansion.
Logan was on the seventh hell as he enjoyed this little victory.
Because of his last experience with the <Mystery Box>, he was skeptical about the products from the system. However, with this one spin, all of his previous thought vanished!
...
The next day,
After Logan calmed down He started planning out his future. With the current force he had, he should prepare for the upcoming adversaries.
"From now on, I\'ve decided on a milestone method."
He started noting his thought on a paper.
"Firstly, I will set up the traps around Selva today."
It was something similar to the "To-do" list on earth.
"Secondly, I have to kill the investigator, by hook or crook."
The major part of his future was dependent on the death of the investigator.
"If I win then it is fine, but if I lose… then… there is no \'then\' since it will be an instant or tortured death…"
Logan was a cautious person. He was not disillusioned by his current strength. He knew that his opponent was a ranked demon hunter, after all.
He had to be extra careful with his traps.
"After my victory, I will use the Identity of the investigator to invade the Royal Academy."
It has been his goal for a long time.
The Royal Academy of the kingdom Fluger.
A place that held a lot of secrets and was a source for unending knowledge about Ventra and demon invasion…
"The identity as Alexander Wolford will help me to climb ranks in the adventurer\'s guild and build a network to get information from there."
Getting information, power, and resources from three leading sources that are the Royal Academy, the demon hunter association, and the adventurer\'s guild will help him conquer kingdoms, if not the entire Ventra!
Although his plans were based on "If and then" he was prepared for any upcoming challenges.
"Even though I have got the two sins, [Lust] and [Envy], I must not stop gaining points."
He was more than prepared for this upcoming event, but being extra careful was something he always has been.
"Ah! It\'s getting late, I must place traps before evening."
He got up from his couch and asked for his evil points balance.
[Evil Points: 19,369]
"So let\'s see…"
Logan began searching for the traps he had planned earlier. He had sorted some illusion artifacts, weapons for his subordinates, and potions of multiple types in the system shop. After all, this battle wasn\'t an easy one.
"If I were a demon hunter, what would I plan before coming here?" Logan contemplated.
If he had to think like a demon hunter, he would obviously think of devious traps, multiple illusions, and potent poisons to kill the opponent on the first attempt, even before of his arrival.
"I will be prepared for complex traps… I will be on high alert… Anticipating my opponent to make the first move… Since demons love to hide, he I will find him near the most expected and unexpected spots…"
His mind was calculating the scenarios from the investigator\'s perspective…
"The problem I will face will be… Easy traps… As I will be on high alert, I will either miss the simple trap or I will take too much time to observe it… Be it humans or demons… anyone with overly cautious personality always becomes short-sighted and loses the track of easy…"
With this line of thought, Logan began scheming the plot for the investigator\'s arrival.
"Maybe I should start now…" An evil grin appeared on his face as he got out of his mansion.
He went to many places he earlier had on his mind.
Just like how he had planned for Lisa\'s kidnapping, this time he was planning on the investigator\'s arrival.
He went around Selva many times and observed every field. As he focused on many things, he placed simple and moderate traps around the village.
"Considering that guy has an escort team… I will consider 10 people… just in case what if they are all third circles? Since they are escorting a ranker, they must be at least third circle…"
Logan realized that they were outnumbered in the case of third-circle soldiers.
"If so, then I must divide them… We cannot take them all at once, but we can do so if we separate them…" One after another, Ideas kept popping inside his head.
"Worst comes worst, I should prepare an escape route…" Overly cautious Logan did not want to lose his possession.
Time passed and Logan continued his field trip by setting traps. He skimmed his brain to the fullest and used the most ideal and worst-case scenarios while setting up traps.
After spending his entire day, Logan came back and rested in the mayor\'s mansion.
Now all that was left was the arrival of the investigator.
