Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Swish~

In an instant, after opening the thick wooden door of the shop, the chilling breeze of the wind abruptly caressed Alex's physique, making him shiver from the unexpected coldness that drilled toward his being.

Making his innards quiver in discomfort, to the point that he couldn't help but sneeze on the spot.

Following that, the scene of the shop reflected in his bluish eyes, making them widen slightly as his gaze trailed toward the expanded space of the shop.

Beholding the great change it took in just 6 hours of his absence.

"This..."

As he was being engrossed in inspecting the chilling changes of the shop, the sight of two severed limbs, beings consumed by countless white maggots, greatly twitching in the corner of the sala caught his attention.

Subconsciously making him step back in shock as he stared at their unknown being in pure horror...

Their sharp, rotting claws, which reach a staggering size of 4 inches, capable of slicing through the solid walls of the shop, entered his eyes.

Allowing him to understand that he would die within their grasp in an instant due to the intense signal that his luck premonition sent to his mind.

Click~ Click~

Seemingly sensing his presence, the severed limbs suddenly stood up on their five fingers before hurriedly rushing toward his location with swift speed, making him extremely anxious, to the point that he couldn't move his body due to the intense fear that shrouded his thoughts.

"I... I, what the..."

AHHH!

He thought in a stuttering manner, unable to think properly as he watched the detached, rotting limbs jump toward his direction, grabbing his feet afterwards before dragging him toward the sala.

As he was being dragged away, the sensation of something slithering appeared on his right leg, making his sight momentarily blank as he saw a number of white, healthy maggots begin to lively slither within the surface of his skin.

Seemingly finding the rotting place within, so they could drill their little physique toward it before consuming the innards of their victim...

...

"Oh, it's you again?"

Seeing the familiar figure of the teenager on the old sofa, Leo couldn't help but unfold a surprised look on his pale face, not expecting that the teenager would again visit his humble shop after just 6 hours of buying that potion.

Alex, upon hearing the cold voice of Leo, stiffly shifted his gaze toward the far counter, unfolding an ugly expression akin to crying on his disheveled face, still shivering upon remembering those disgusting maggots that crawled to his skin...

To the point that some of them even unconsciously crawl toward his face before attempting to enter his mouth.

Fortunately, his luck premonition was quite fast at sending a signal to his brain, hence allowing him to escape the disgusting situation.

Gulped~

Gulping the forming saliva within his mouth, suppressing the churning of his stomach in the process, Alex hurriedly cast a wind-related skill toward his physique, sending those still-wriggling maggots away from his body.

Making him heave a sigh of relief in the next second upon finally sensing that no white, healthy maggots were wriggling within the surface of his skin!

"I wa-want to buy another bottle of that potion."

Feeling afraid and at the same time worried about the mentality of the pale man behind the counter, Alex ineloquently speaks, wanting to immediately buy those potions at the counter before fleeing this place for good!

Although he would eventually run out of potions before being forced to go back to this frightful shop in the future, the number of those potions would be enough for him to peacefully cultivate for days.

Allowing him to not visit this shop for at least a week!

"This... are you aware that you could only consume that potion once every two days?"

Understanding that potions were really addicting, especially when the one who consumed them could feel their strength strengthening in every minute, Leo couldn't help but seriously remind the teenager in the distance, not wanting his first customer to accumulate toxins in his being, cutting his future aspect in the process.

"Wait, I can only drink one potion every two days?"

Hearing this, Alex unfolds a confused expression on his face, completely unaware of that knowledge.

Due to the shortage of potions within the town and their staggering price that normal cultivators couldn't afford, the potion masters within the town didn't bother to tell their customers about the toxins that were hidden in every imperfect potion.

There's also the probability that the potion masters deliberately leave their customers in the dark, causing the potion stack to always be limited, hence drastically increasing their value in the process.

"Well, actually, with your current level, you could at least consume 3 different potions that reach a staggering 75% purity every 3 days.

"As for the same potion, you could only consume a potion with 80 percent purity every two days."

...

"I see... then can I buy all the similar potions that I bought earlier?

Comprehending the words of the pale man on the counter, Alex unconsciously creases his brows before speaking. Still wanting to buy all those potions so he could cultivate for a week without being disturbed due to the lack of potions.

"No, you can't; you can only buy 3..."

Hearing the teenager, Leo immediately uttered: Although the child might not drink the potion on the same day. A cultivator, especially in the Mortal realm, needed to strengthen its foundation before advancing toward the next level.

In order to achieve that, the cultivator needed to fight every day to ensure that their foundation would become stable!

With how the child glared at his potion with those bluish eyes, Leo already knew what was going on inside his head.

"He was probably thinking of relying on my potions in order to speed up his advancement toward the foundation realm.

"Such a silly kid...'

...

"Sigh~ Okay, I will buy those three..."

Soon, understanding that he couldn't win with the owner of the shop, Alex finally relented, taking out 75 earth gold from his inventory before pushing it toward the cold counter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Taking the three bottles of potions that Leo handed before hurriedly hiding them within his inventory afterwards.

Ding!

[ Congratulations on selling three potions within your horror shop!

+1,500 horror points! ]

Sure enough, after Leo received the earth gold within the hands of the teenager, the sound of notification rang within his consciousness, making the corner of his lips curl upwards upon reading the information it held.

Although the horror points he gained weren't enough to fill the corner of his teeth, he still felt happy upon gaining horror points through selling.

(A single earth gold was equivalent to 100 earth bronze; hence, Leo received 1,500 horror points from the system.)
