My Hitman System

"I don\'t know! He must have done it somehow! It\'s not me! Before letting me go he asked Ray and Jake\'s address. He must have planned to blame everything on me." Edward had finally realized what that janitor had planned and blurted out his findings.

"Sure," The police officer slapped Edward\'s file on the table and stood up.

"I\'m telling the truth, you must believe me! It\'s not me, it\'s him!" Edward tried to convince the police officer for the nth time but he didn\'t stop to listen and exited the interrogation room.

"What should we do sir?" The officer asked his senior who had been watching everything inside the interrogation room through a one-way mirror.

"What do you think?"His senior asked him instead as he eyed Edward who was muttering some gibberish to himself.

"Sir, I think we should interrogate the worker he\'s talking about..." The man suggested.

"Sigh..." His senior sighed.

"It\'s a waste of public resources, the case is clear and there is no ounce of doubt who the killer is. Let\'s leave it at that," He got up from his seat and patted his junior officer\'s shoulders a couple of times before he left.

Jimmy could only shake his head in resignation. \'Maybe I\'m just overthinking, it\'s not like a criminal would readily admit that he\'s guilty

The court proceedings soon began and Edward was declared guilty. The court proceedings were quite lively and became the talk of the town.

All the newspapers talked about the proceedings and discussions took place all over among people in Bing city. According to the law children above 15 years old were no longer protected by Juvenile laws.

Edward being 16 years old was therefore not protected under it and under the bashings of various parties was sentenced to death. A date was given for his execution and he was to be hanged till death.

Jin heard all about this during the afternoon breaks from his colleagues. It went on for a couple of weeks before news topics of discussion were introduced. It seemed everyone had forgotten about the incident except the ones involved.

A month later.

Jin was reading an article on his phone while commuting to school. Edward was to be executed today. During this period there were several days that Jin had blamed himself for his extreme actions but there were also times when he had justified his actions.

In the end, he decided to end this debate in his mind. Blaming himself would lead to living a life full of guilt while justifying his actions would allow him to live in the manner he had been living until now. It was clear what he needed to choose.

\'Don\'t blame me, blame yourself for having such a friend,\' Jin looked at the article for one last time before averting his eyes.

The day went on like usual. He was becoming better and better with his work. The wages were pretty good aswell and allowed him to live a good life. Overall, Jin was content with his life.

After the noon break when Jin got back to work a system panel appeared in front of Jin\'s eyes all of a sudden. A hint of surprise and confusion was apparent on his face when he read what the panel read.

System Store Unlocked

\'System store? Why did it appear only now?\' Jin thought. Curious he checked the main panel.

Mental Constitution- Poor

Kill Points- 90->100 (STORE UNLOCKED)

...…..

\'My kill points increased by 10? Why? I clearly didn\'t kill anyone?\' Jin thought over it very seriously.

An idea soon entered his mind and he immediately checked the time, "If I\'m not wrong then Edward was to be hanged afternoon...it matches the current time... so an indirect death is also counted in kill points," Jin muttered under his breath.

He tapped on the \'Store\' and a store panel opened up.

-----------------System Store-----------------

1) Hand to Hand Combat Techniques - 100 KP

2) Knife Fighting Techniques- 100 KP

3) Firearm Techniques - 100KP

------------------------------------------------

\'You call it a store with only three things in it?\' Jin berated in his mind. He contemplated a bit on what to choose among the three.

He was most keen on learning the Hand to Hand Combat Techniques...but then a thought passed his mind that in all his killings until now except the first one...he had resorted to knife.

As a result, he was now inkling towards the Knife Techniques more but then another thought countered his decision \'If not for your weak combat ability would you have resorted to using a knife? You could have even managed the earlier situation without escalating it...\'

It made sense. Jin without wasting any more time Clicked on the \'Hand to Hand Combat Techniques\' and bought it.

His 100KP turned to 0 and a bunch of techniques flooded his mind. They were all related to combat skills. The amount of information that was entering his mind felt shocking to Jin.

One after another, different techniques, different names, different moves, different ways to execute those moves...all of it were being assimilated into Jin.

He felt exhilarated but kept his calm and continued to see various images flash in his mind. It continued on for the next five minutes but for Jin, it felt like years.

The knowledge that a normal person would have taken at least five years to understand and assimilate, Jin had done it in 5 minutes!

Jin immediately rushed to a secluded place. He wanted to try out what he had learnt as soon as possible.
