Destroying My Own Novel

"Good morning..." The woman hugged Mykel from behind while he was smoking on the balcony. "You haven't told me your name by the way," The woman continued as she took the cigarette from Mykel's mouth and smoked it.

"Mykel," Mykel said as he grabbed another cigarette from his trouser pocket.

The woman used the cigarette to light Mykel's cigarette. "Lyneth," she said as she offered her hand for a handshake. Mykel looked at her hand and then shook her hand and smoked his cigarette.

[You have attained a new skill!]

[Open your status screen to check it out!]

Mykel furrowed his forehead as he looked at the notification and then he checked his status screen. [Poison Resistance (Lv.1)] just added into his skill tab, and he looked at it with confusion then he looked at the smoke of his cigarette and realized he got it from smoking.

"So, are you an Awakener, Mykel? I saw you lifting that heavy weight yesterday and I don't think a normal human could do something like that," Lyneth asked as she puffed the smoke and stared at Mykel with lust.

"I am, I awakened not long time ago," Mykel replied as he looked down at the street.

Lyneth raised her eyebrow and looked at Mykel with suspicion. "So you're telling me that you just become an Awakener not long time ago but you already strong enough to lift that much weight? That's a bit odd even for me who has been handling Awakeners," she said.

"What are you talking about? Do you know anything about Awakeners?" Mykel asked as he squinted his eyes because the sun was blinding him.

Lyneth chuckled softly. "Of course! I have been seeing them ever since those towers appeared," she answered as she leaned her back on the railing.

"Is that so?" Mykel said uninterested.

"Is that it? That's your reaction?" Lyneth asked as she smiled at him.

"I'm not interested in that, all I care about is to get myself stronger," Mykel answered as he leaned on the railing and flicked the cigarette in the air.

Lyneth watched the cigarette get carried away by the wind. "If you want to get stronger, I don't think using the normal gym would help you progress," she said as she rubbed Mykel's bicep. "You need to use the facility the gym provided for the Awakeners if you want to improve your skills," she continued while kept rubbing his muscle.

"I will keep that in mind," Mykel answered while he looked at Lyneth's hand which started to rub his stomach and slowly moved down.

Lyneth stopped rubbing and then looked at Mykel from the corner of her eyes. "Unfortunately you won't be able to use that facility because it can only be accessed by the Awakeners who belonged to a registered guild," she said as she threw the butt of the cigarette into the air. "Since I have never seen you before and never heard your name, you must be a new Awakener," she continued and rested her head on his shoulder.

Mykel raised his eyebrow. "I see, that's unfortunate but that's not really a problem since I can increase my skills somewhere else," he said as he gently pushed Lyneth's head from him and walked back inside the room.

"Don't sulk, Mykel," Lyneth said as she followed him inside. "Because I can let you enter the facility by just making a phone call," she continued.

"As I said, I'm not interested in registering myself since it's bothersome," Mykel said as he put on his shirt.

"That's fine by me, but that's not really necessary if I'm the one who makes the call," Lyneth said as she sat down on the sofa and looked at Mykel's body for one last time.

"How so?" Mykel asked as he buttoned his shirt.

"Are you seriously going to ask me that question? Don't you know who I am?" Lyneth asked as she pointed her thumb at herself.

Mykel just furrowed his forehead and didn't answer her question.

"Are you being serious? Do you know who's the owner of the Guild Association?" Lyneth asked and crossed her legs.

Mykel stared at Lyneth for quite a while as he tried to remember the name of the owner of the Guild Association. He tried to remember and he could only remember the woman's last name.

"Leonis?" Mykel said.

"That's right, the owner of the Guild Association is Marvin Leonis, and that's my father," Lyneth replied with a smirk on her face.

Mykel was a bit surprised as he remembered the story because he could only remember that the Guild Association's owner had been passed down to his daughter. The daughter which was Lyneth Leonis took over the Guild Association because her father died of old age.

"Wait, you're Lyneth Leonis?" Mykel asked as he furrowed his forehead and pointed his finger at her.

Lyneth chuckled and then walked toward Mykel and put her hands around his neck. "What's wrong? A cat got your tongue?" she asked with a flirtatious smile.

"Wait, don't you have a fiancee? Why are you fooling around with a random guy like me?" Mykel asked as he leaned his head back.

"What's wrong with that? He's not my husband yet, so I can do whatever I want, no?" Lyneth replied with her eyebrow raised. "So? After knowing who I am, are you going to accept my offer? I can give you access to the gym if you want to," she continued as she leaned her head forward and tried to kiss him.

"Okay, what do you want in return?" Mykel asked as he tried to avoid her.

Lyneth leaned her head forward. "Since the morning just came and I have no plans for today, why don't you satisfy me all day?" she whispered into his ear and gently bit his ear.

Mykel rolled his eyes. "Alright, today is all yours," he said as he tore Lyneth's shirt and then lifted her to the bed. Lyneth had a huge smile on her face as she looked down at Mykel's face and rubbed his lips.

[You have increased a skill!]

[Dexterity (Lv.2) > Dexterity (Lv.3)]

[Charm (Lv.4) > Charm (Lv.5)]

[Poison Resistance (Lv.1) > Poison Resistance (Lv.2)]

Mykel smoked his cigarette on the bed as he looked at the window and it was nighttime already. Lyneth was barely awake and had any energy left in her, she looked at Mykel and then put her arm on his stomach as she pointed at the bedside table next to him. "Can you pass me my wallet, Mykel?" she asked as she rested her face on the pillow.

"Here," Lyneth said as she offered a card. "There are at least two billion zeny inside, you can use it for whatever you want. Since you just got here yesterday, why don't you go around the city and do whatever you want?" she said as she closed her eyes.

Mykel grabbed the card from her hand and smirked. "Thank you,"

Mykel got up from the bed and put on his shirt and pants, he looked at Lyneth who couldn't do anything else but lay down on the bed like a dead fish. He covered her with a blanket since she barely had anything on her then he left the apartment and find something to eat.

The first thing he bought was a pack of cigarettes a bottle of beer, and bread in the convenience store. He looked around and he felt alive after he had something to eat and not to mention the two billion zeny in his pocket.

Mykel enjoyed his night walk and ended up in a place that he wasn't supposed to be, the lawless area in District 1. He looked around and watched drunkards walking around him, he observed the whole area and then decided to approach a group of drunkards on the sidewalk.

"Yo," Mykel said as he stood in front of them.

One of the drunkards lifted his head and looked at Mykel who was smoking and stared at him. "What do you want?" he asked with his eyes barely open.

"Nothing, I just want to mess with you guys," Mykel said as he smoked his cigarette.

"Huh?! Fuck off kid," The guy said as he waved his hand.

Mykel scoffed and then kicked the guy's head and stomped it on the road that he started to bleed. The rest of his friends were shocked when they saw their friend with a foot on his head and humiliated like that. Mykel then flicked his cigarette at one of them and almost hit the guy's eye.

"Hey what the fuck is wrong with you?! Do you want to die?!" One of the guys asked as he clenched his fist and broke the bottle in his hand.

Mykel approached them and one of them threw a bottle at him but he dodged it. He then punched one of them and the guy got thrown away onto the wall, he looked at the rest of them with a smirk on his face. "Die? I came here to get new skills," he said as he started to throw punches at them.
