Chapter 12: Charlatan ----- [New Change: Adam Woo and Han Soo will appear in the Dungeon where Anna was trapped. Adam will hold off Jack while Han comes to kill his sister.] [Both Adam and Han are Newly Awakened Demonic Humans.] [Adam’s Potential has increased by +50%] [Han’s Restraint has decreased by -70%] Oh, for heaven’s sake. This is my Luck, isn’t it? What can I even do against this monster? I’m bound to get slaughtered. I need to buy time, to somehow… escape until my brother returns. “Han Soo, D Rank Hunter,” I said with a cold tone. “Oh?” Han halted his advance, his snake-like pupils locking onto my eyes. “You know my name, little girl? How odd! I thought you were in a coma until just a few hours ago?” “I know more than you think,” I replied, forcing a confident smile. “Tch… That’s weird, yeah. But I don’t care if you know or not… I want to see your blood and guts, and that’s what I’m gonna get! The boss said I could go wild! So I will!!!” Han laughed, lunging toward me. “I know about Uroboros, and that you’re a Demonic Human,” I said, maintaining my smile. “Eh?!” Han froze mid-step, his face etched with disbelief. “How does a brat like you know that?!” “I made a contract with Uroboros while I was in a coma,” I declared with a malicious grin. “You… what?! No, there’s no way Uroboros would pick a stupid brat like you! You’re lying, right?! I don’t know how you know about Uroboros, but I don’t care. I’ll just kill you right now—” SPLASH! Suddenly, I secreted venom from my hands. The corrosive acid spread across the room, releasing a noxious odor. “Venom?!” Han exclaimed. “It’s the special ability all Demonic Humans who worship Uroboros possess, right? I can create it too! See? I’m not lying.” “W-Wait… This is…” Han was too gullible. He fell for it far too easily. He was also incredibly dim-witted, written by the Author as a secondary punching bag nobody cared about, forgotten later anyway, just another mob among the many needed to fuel these power fantasy stories where new enemies appear every chapter to entertain a battle-hungry audience. His face betrayed his struggle to process anything complex. He had the mentality of a psycho, but when it came to the demon he worshipped, he grew oddly serious. “I was chosen by Uroboros as his apostle because I’m Jack’s sister. Can’t you tell? It’s so I can backstab him and make him suffer even more!” I laughed. “I’m honestly tired of him. He’s the reason our family died… I don’t care. I’ll help you kill him!” “That’s…” Han hesitated, still thinking, giving me precious time. Ding! [The Constellations are shocked! They never expected your talent for deception to be so great!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} is delighted by your chaotic and unpredictable nature!] [He awards you 100 PP and grants you the [Charlatan (D): Lv1] Innate Skill!] ---- [Charlatan (D): Lv1] [Skill EXP: 0/100] You’re a charlatan. Your words sound more convincing, and the more outlandish your claims, the higher the chance they’ll be believed. However, if your deception is uncovered, your foes’ anger intensifies. The persuasiveness of your words scales with your Charm Stat. Additionally; you can easily detect when others are lying to you. Level Bonus (1): Your lies become 10% more convincing. --- 100 PP and a new Skill—nice. I couldn’t expect less from the trickster who likely sparked this chaotic plot twist. All this was great, but… my Luck remains -10,000. Even if my ruse works briefly, it’ll inevitably lead to a fight. I can predict it. Still, I won’t waste this time. Ding! [You exchanged 200 PP!] [You purchased [Random Weapon Treasure Chest (F Rank Privilege)] x2! You have reached the purchase limit!] [You purchased [Random Armor Treasure Chest (F Rank Privilege)] x2!
