Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Unbeknownst to them, as their figures were slowly vanishing within the horizons.

A blurry figure, as if existing between the corporeal and incorporeal worlds, hidden within the dark alley stared silently at the group's silhouettes, especially toward the figures of Leo and Rosa with greed written within its eyes.

Soon, after the three vanished within its sight, the blurry figure couldn't help but lick the corner of its parched lips, unfolding a cold smirk within its face before mumbling in an incoherent voice.

"They both don't deserve to gain two items that exceed epic rank; how could they gain precious treasure with their limited strength?!

"I don't believe that they didn't use their connection in order to gain the favor of the old man. Keke~ I heard that bastard grandson has a connection with them."

With brewing killing intent in its eyes, the blurry figure shot a glance toward the wooden hut in the far distance, concealing the dissatisfaction within its heart before vanishing into the darkness beyond him.

...

"This."

Pausing in his tracks, Leo couldn't help but suddenly glance toward his back. His eyes instinctively frowned as he began to ponder himself.

When he was busy talking to the two on his side earlier, he suddenly sensed forbidding within his being, as if something unpleasant was brewing behind his back. Read the latest on empire

Furthermore, since his soul informed him about it, the danger it contained should have reached his realm. At least enough to threaten his life if he wasn't careful.

"Leo, are you okay?"

Noticing the strange expression of Leo, the two show concern on their faces, hurriedly inspecting Leo with their senses to ensure that nothing is wrong with him.

Only when they didn't detect anomalies within Leo's body did they both stop their probing, afraid that the latter would misunderstand their actions if they continued further.

"I'm fine; I just remembered something trivial. Sorry to worry you both."

"I see, I guess you were just tired from yesterday. Then we would no longer bother you; we will visit your when we have time."

Bidding their farewell to Leo, the two unfold regret within their eyes before advancing in the opposite direction.

Actually, their only goal in approaching Leo earlier was to give him the spiritual fruit as a gift, and in order to deepen their connection with him, they only decided to visit Leo's shop on the spur of the moment.

Since they all clearly haven't recovered from the fatigue brought by the invasion yesterday...

They concluded that it was best to postpone the unnecessary trip; they could do it in the following days when their condition finally stabilized.

Understanding this, Leo nodded his head toward the two, waving his pale palm for a while before continuing to walk in the direction of his horror shop.

Other than the fatigue that he was experiencing, he also needs to recover the Qi and mental energy that he spent yesterday

Furthermore, he also needed to spend time familiarizing himself with the items that he acquired.

In addition to that, he needed to create batches of potions and pills for the shop; it was the job that the mayor assigned to him in order to deepen the town's foundation.

"Sigh. Other than that, I also needed to go back to the cemetery. I hope that the abominations didn't attack my home and my precious plants.'

Thinking of the spiritual fruits and plants that should have ripened in his absence, Leo's eyes couldn't help but involuntarily curl up, forming a crescent moon in pure happiness.

It could be said that other than the increase in his overall strength and some rare occurrences, he could only feel deep satisfaction after seeing his vegetation ripen.

It was akin to a farmer watching the plants that he put his whole dedication into developing for a couple of months before finally becoming ready to harvest.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Based on my estimation, those harvests would be enough for me to create potions for quite a while. Unfortunately, I still lack something in order to start creating potions that are helpful to the core formation realm."

...

Soon, unknowingly, after pondering for quite a while, Leo finally arrived in front of his shop, touching his chin as he was still being occupied by his thoughts.

He only awakened from his thoughts when the sound of annoying creaking entered his senses.

Raising his head, he instantly saw a pale man exiting the shop. Other than the evident fear in its eyes, Leo also notices the potion bottle in the hands of the latter...

Clearly, he was one of the cultivators that he healed earlier. If he could guess correctly, Angelica, the woman he just hired, started to show her usefulness, using the gratitude of the beings he healed to sell the potions to them.

Hmm?

At the same time, as Leo was staring in the man's direction, the man also saw his strange behavior.

However, having no recollection of the strange human opposite him, the man could only nod his head politely as a form of greeting before running toward the far distance; he clearly couldn't recognize the pale man that saved him yesterday.

Seeing this, Leo released a light chuckle before entering his shop, not caring whether the cultivators he saved could recognize him or not.

Huff~

"There's too much to do; I should try to comprehend a domain related to time in the near future to see if I could slow the passage of time around me.'

...

Soon, after finding a dark, silent place inside the horror shop, where shadows could be seen churning silently around, forming countless tendrils of ominous darkness that chaotically spread within the ceilings and the cold floor...

In addition to the faint mist that always hindered one's vision...

Leo, who finally couldn't conceal the building excitement within his being, let out an eerily laugh before hurriedly plunging his left hand toward the void. Grasping something within before retracting his limbs in anticipation.

In an instant, after retracting his hand, an intense coldness, carrying an unknown corrosion, spread to his surroundings.

The atmosphere suddenly gets contaminated by a repulsive scent as dark light reflects into Leo's eyes.
