To that, all I got was a, "Uh huh. Anyway, to register as a bounty hunter, you simply need to kill one of the people on the board behind me." I didn't even glance at the board, though, as I asked, "If I fully register, will I be able to get into contact with your information brokers?"
Seemingly hearing this more than once, the man replied, "Only after 100 tasks are completed will you be able to contact them. Any more questions, kid?" My lips curled up, happy at knowing I didn't have to wait this time.
Bowing, he grabbed a kill request and started walking out. However, he was stopped by a thug-like man around 2.3 meters tall, give or take. Seeing this, I smiled at the man, tilting my head to the side as I asked, "May I know who you are blocking my way, tall one?"
The bear of a man merely snorted and said, "Give me your request, or I'll kill you. I've been eyeing that one for months, so—" But before he could finish, he died—not because of me, of course, which some people might think, but because of something—or rather, someone—else.
Not flinching, my gaze slowly fell to my side, where seemingly from thin air, tentacles extended—slimy, sticky, purple mixed with black, seemingly containing a universe within. "Holy fuck, I nearly shat myself! Who the hell is helping me? Goddamn it, who the fuck is this? Wait, are these from Heaven's Will, or am I just being an idiot?"
You know what? Fuck it. I'll just wing this and pretend to be calm. I mean, if Klein can bluff like a god, I at least maybe can. Upon finishing my thoughts in a short time, thanks to my mind being buffed, I looked at the dead body.
Kneeling down, I grabbed his hair and slowly walked to the counter as I asked, "Does this guy have a bounty on his head? If so, I would like to turn him in to become a bounty hunter. If not, sorry, but I'll have to leave his corpse with you, sir."
With a dead expression, my hand trembled uncontrollably. However, noticing this in time, I gripped the dead man's hair even tighter.
While doing all this, I thanked myself for working in a morgue for six months because, well, I was kicked out for making jokes whenever a good-looking woman or man died to try and lighten the mood.
In my opinion, though, I did nothing wrong. Why would they ban someone as nice as me from nearly all graveyards within three kilometers of where I lived? Sadly, reminiscing time was over as the startled man quickly handed me a poster, which I proceeded to write my name on shortly before walking away.
This time, no one blocked me, and after I left, still no one spoke—not because they didn't want to, but because all of them were nothing but mere dolls. How could dolls speak or think?

Walking out of a cane shop near the alley that contained the Dead En.d Bar, Kieran admired the fact he could barely even notice it wasn't a normal cane. He thought, 'I mean, how long have they been making hidden blades? I'm pretty sure if I wasn't a beyonder, I wouldn't be able to see the faint lines that show this has something hidden within.'
Smirking, Kieran continued to walk to the upper district with the poise of someone superior, without looking arrogant—partly due to his face, a face that could make a goddess yearn. After a while of walking, he was stopped by guards as he reached the gates of the higher districts.
Not even bothering with them, he merely said, "If you do not wish to die, cease your attempts at stopping me, as everyone who does such sadly dies." Without even looking them in the eye, his magnetic voice rang out, which of course could be seen as a threat.
As guards who hadn't died after guarding the gates, they could tell the man in front of them was indeed telling the truth. Knowing this, they simply stopped bothering with him, turning their heads down as they passed him by.
'Thank god they could take a hint. Five pickpockets have already died on my way here because of the suspected crazy bitch following me.' Letting out a sigh of relief in his heart, Kieran kept on moving on, hoping those guards would be fine. However, that in itself was a mistake because the moment a certain someone felt his emotions towards those two guards, their fates became sealed.
The moment they got out of sight of Kieran's actual sight, along with his spirituality, they would attain a fate of death—or worse than death. To put it extremely upfront, those guards were fucked, and not in the nice way.

Walking down the hallway in his manor Sosthènes I de La Maximilius IV walked down his hallway judging his new his new products newly 16 year old maids and butlers of the finest quality and untouched by any man or woman truly it took substantial effort on his families part the consistently raise fine.
Slaves for the upper crust as the demand for better looking and feeling ones has only gone up not down even in the worst of times however Sosthènes didn't really care why should he as long as he got a single more gold coin him and his family would be able to apply for not just Earldom but become one of the 5 great Earl houses and after they reached that status they could finally apply for a.
Sequence ranking and hold the authority over a minor sequence and become invincible which was no one's birthright but his own as once he transcended these filthy wretches and became something beyond he would not top until he became emperor.
While laughing uproariously in his head his expression honed from the moment of his birth and even still to this day did not change whatsoever which unlike what one might think didn't cause the ''products'' he was observing to be trembling at all instead they were happy to even be noticed.
How could they not be as they were trained since childhood to be nothing but loyal and serve in anyway which they could even if that meant death because they were nothing but objects, tools heck even clothes in some cases to be used and then discarded.
Sosthènes upon seeing all items were accounted for nodded seemingly satisfied before turning around and leaving towards his room 'I know I really shouldn't have but from the first moment I laid my eyes on that bastard child from the dukes house I couldn't help but want her as my object.
All those toys outside I could care less for merely seeing them only reminds me of the toy who should been in my room ready for me to unbox today truly I won't be able to indulge in such petty things when I transcend these filthy mortals completely I might as well do it now.'
Excited Sosthènes hurried into his room and surely enough on his bed there was a beauty with fair jade like no jade skin supple yet slim with making delicate limbs and cascading flowing purple fair ''her'' beauty simply being one he wouldn't be able to imagine otherwise which caused him to smile as he closed the doors to his room.
While thinking 'Though it is sad I won't be able to see her rubey read eyes once again as I have my way with her that means not I can still after all taste the finest beauty in my life as a human and beyond truly it's almost frightening how much the heaven's must love me for them to keep blessing me so all my life.'
Excited to the extreme Sosthènes slowly walked to the bed not undressing of course as he wanted to savor the flavor of the beauty before him with his eyes and then his body slowly he took of the pure white dress that covered ''her'' while admiring ''her'' very body in every way.
Making him want to smack his lips as to put it simply if this beauty could be called missing in anything it would be breast size and even they ''she'' could still grow to a size which he wanted if he so chose with the drugs his family created and after getting off ''her'' dress he looked at ''her'' once more smirking as he bent down to take off ''her'' panties.
Only for his eyes to widen in shock as he spoke ''What in the hell ''she's'' a man it ca- oh who am I kidding i'll just cut off that part and have my way with ''her'' anyway it's not like I haven't indulged in men like ''her'' before.'' his smirk not fading he walked over to his knife shortly before measuring it and upon seeing it felt just right he slashed.
Blood was sent flying the ''woman's'' manhood flew off as he quickly applied and ointment to the wound then he waited four minutes of course he didn't waste those minutes as he was undressed and ''she'' was prepared thoroughly seeing so he took out fake skin from under his bed for cases such as these upon finding to right color he applied it to ''her'' and waited as he spoke out.
''I hope ''her'' taste lives up to ''her'' looks I truly do.'' While fiddling with his knife however he felt a sharp pain in his chest as a man appeared behind him cold and indifferent with a hint of disgust in his eyes as he swiftly crushed his throat saying ''Sorry well not really but for your sins you have to die.''
( A/N: Kinda tired so punctuation will be added later most likely not though. Fun Fact Lumian Lee is a hermaphrodite or at least should be because he became a hunter now I might be wrong but I think this proves that even if you change sequences from demoness to hunter the changes stay but are just overlaid meaning you can't actually become a man again)
