So now every player in the world knows that I am in Stockport. And with the bounty it is gonna be even more likely I'm gonna be hunted. Some big fish might even show themselves. OK. Planning time. Previously my plan was to slaughter the Survivor camp, which is still an option, but I feel going south is a bad idea. My best bet would be to grind levels especially with my absurd bloodline level up bonus.

  After ranking up to Apprentice it got even more powerful. So I think my main course of action right now is power levelling so that Fen, Julie and I can be as strong as possible.

  Before that let's equip the armor set I got.

  After wearing the whole thing these are my stats now.

  That 50% bonus is nothing to scoff at, it turned what would have been +70 Strength into +105 which is pretty good. Anyway time to leave. Fen and I quickly departed while waving to the trial judges.

  We quickly reached the entrance to see Julie there half asleep. I quickly kicked her to get her up and at 'em.

  "Ah Master I missed you!" She surprised me by suddenly jumping into my embrace. The virgin me blushed as I wasn't used to the contact. Fen not knowing who it was who suddenly jumped at me growled at them preparing to pounce at them.

  "Wait Fen, she's an ally!" I quickly yelled out before an accident happened.

  We were now sitting around while eating, as during the entire trial I never ate and from what Julie tells me it has been 8 hours since I first went in.

  "So what was with you suddenly embracing me?" I tried to say as coolly as possible, I don't know whether it succeeded or not.

  "Well Master the further you got from me the lonelier I felt, until eventually I became melancholic like you seen before, I don't know what happened but I felt like the world had ended (again) when you left me here. Then when I seen you I couldn't help it."

  Oi Oi Oi so you're saying that anyone I enslave is worthless after I get a certain distance away from me? Does that not seem too much of a downside? Oh well maybe it can be upgraded with level.

  "So has anything else happened while I was gone? You know besides your session of depression."

  "Hmm... Ah there was something! A while ago in the distance I saw a couple of explosions go off in the city! It didn't sound like a gas explosion, it sorta felt like it was a New World explosion."

  Explosions? Damn so someone strong is nearby. And I don't even know how levels for monsters work so I don't have a destination to go for power levelling. Seems I am gonna have to hope my 9 Luck or Fen's infinite luck can pull us through this.

  "Before I subdued you did you learn of any area with high levelled monsters Julie?" Honestly I am just grasping for straws here, but there was always the possibility.

  "Ah there was a place like that! Up next to Scarborough! The national park, inside was a bunch of monsters, really high level! My brother guessed Level 40 maybe 50."

  Scarborough? If I remember correctly that is on the east coast of Britain, north east of Manchester. Driving would take around 2 hours give or take. Walking would probably take us 3 maybe 4 hours, while killing on the way it would probably end profitable and I could also avoid the powerhouse in the city.

  "Alright then Scarborough it is. Pack up we're heading out."

  "Not so fast, little one."

  I turned my head to the visitor, not particularly surprised, I already knew she was there, and I knew she was no threat as even Sense Dangers bells weren't going off.

  "Little? Ha coming from you shorty that's like saying Kevin James is anorexic."

  As I finished my sentence the arrogant loli was already in the corner drawing circles on the ground in depression.

  "Shorty...? There's no way I'm short...he's just too tall...yeah that's it..."

  Stolen novel; please report.

  Before this spiralled the kid into further depression, I decided to get to the point.

  "So Kid let me guess you're here for the bounty on my head right?"

  "KID!?" She froze for a couple of seconds. "Who are you calling Kid you cunt!? I'm older than even your bitch mother! You are one head taller but that can be easily fixed you virgin jerk-off!"

  This little shit's got a potty mouth on her, who the fuck taught her all that shit?

  "Just answer the fucking question, shit for brains!"

  "Fuck you I have an IQ of 211 and you call me shit for brains!? And for your information I am here for your head, and it'll be easily gained! The entire time we've been talking I was releasing an odorless poison in the room! Now fall to your knees cocksucker!"

  "Poison!?" As I exclaimed I fell to my knees trying to cover my mouth. She came over obviously to finish me off with a dagger she had in hand, as she got close...

  "Sike!" I quickly kicked her in the gut used my staff to break both her wrists. She didn't realize I had already inspected her knowing her class, of course I had prepared for poison. As she tried to stand to run, I quickly broke her ankles.

  "Real big now aren't we? Like I said you really do have shit for brains. But your class is useful so I guess I'll have you become like her over there" I indicated over my shoulder to Julie.

  "You think I'd follow you? Dream on!" The last word was followed by a helpful glob of spit aimed at me. Being cautious I dodged it, and good thing I did.

  I would've been dead within seconds like it said! Shit! This bitch nearly got me. Better make this quick in case she's got any other tricks up her sleeves. I quickly grasped her head.

  "Authoritative Corruption!"

  She was level 29 so the chance for me to succeed was 8 times 445 divided by 29 AKA 122%.

  She was screwed.

  As I waited for her to wake up I decided to look at my evolution paths.

  There were more but these were the more prominent ones. First Barbarian is out. I need my magic. Second Arch Demon is out as I generally focus on CQC with a bit of magic. Third Beastman is out as it lowers my Strength. So I'm left with either full Asura or Half-Asura.

  Honestly full Asura seems like a bad choice as I don't want to be tied to combat at all times. So what's left is Half Asura.

  "Yes!"

  The pain from the transformation felt like every cell in my body was being drilled with an electric drill, while my head screamed in pain.

  A/N So Thomas now has 3 Companions and is also Half-Asura. Tell me what you think of the changes and if you think something is wrong or if there is a plothole or something, leave it down below in the comments! Any questions or confusions as long as it isn't a secret I will answer. Thanks for reading! Ciaossu!
