Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 65 — An Unavoidable Title Effect

Editor:
The man I had kicked went crashing into a tree and slid down its trunk, his body limp.

His companion tried to call out to him, but the man pressed a hand against his broken arm and forced himself upright.


“Tch… damn it… half-killing you is off. I don’t care what it takes, I’m gonna murder you!”


He pulled an expensive potion from an ordinary leather pouch and chugged it all at once.

After checking that his arm could move again, he spat out words filled with pure killing intent.

The moment he did,〘Serial Killer〙activated.

I hadn’t intended to kill him at all, but a murderous impulse boiled up from deep inside, impossible to suppress.

My thoughts and emotions were swallowed whole by the urge to kill.

The instant I drew my short swords, I triggered【Stealth】and closed the distance.

The man registered that my figure had vanished—

…and by the time that thought surfaced in him, his decapitated head was already spinning through the air, a spray of blood marking its arc, as his body crumpled to the ground.

(E/N: Omae wa mou shindeiru! Nani?! 😂)

With the death of the one who had directed killing intent at me, the bloodlust running rampant inside me began to quiet…

…until a fresh murderous intent surged from behind, and the killing impulse swallowed me again.


“Gaaahhh— ghff…!”


I spun around instantly. I caught the fist aimed at me, severed his arm with a single swing, grabbed the back of his head, and drove a blade into his throat.

(E/N: FATALITY! Holy moly!)

The killing frenzy ebbed away, leaving me clear-headed again.


“I didn’t intend to kill them… but no matter how high my mental stat gets, it looks like I can’t resist the effect of this title.”


Ordinary hostility like “I’ll beat you up!” or “I’ll make you pay!” wouldn't trigger it.

But the moment someone thought “I’ll kill you!”, the fight would turn into a death match without negotiation or restraint.


“I really picked up a troublesome title… so, what now…?”

No guilt, straight brutality! I keep falling in love with this WN!

And Yuito now have Ki/Qi techniques which will be awesome to witness in future battles!

Stay tuned! (1/2 chapter)

    Now we entering 'cultivation' territory?

    But man, he really needs to do something with that title, ASAP.

      Aren't all grinding, power-fantasies kind of cultivations? Since I find it extremely difficult to keep up with Chinese names and extensive philosophies, I'd rather have this WN.

      Maybe he'll get an item to supress that title?

      I find myself repulsed sometimes from the title names alone. Really, sometimes they don't get any sense at all. It's like a Chat GPT ordered to come up with 'something'.

      Yeah, right? So mechanical! Although, it they started putting chuuni names for titles, I'll definitely cringe 😂

      At least book covers are cool, sometimes. That's something I can enjoy.

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:
Image
                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
