My Werewolf System-Novel

Chapter 101: For Family

Standing in the middle of the Karaoke room, it took a while for Gary to process what he had just done. The high schooler looked down at his blood covered hands, most of which had gathered on his still sharpened fingertips that currently resembled the claws of a wild beast.

‘I’ve gone and done it now… only this time it was no accident…’ Gary thought. ‘I was just so…angry.’

His view was currently blocked at the moment, and it was by none other than the system screen which had ‘rewarded’ him for his deeds. Gary wasn’t sure how to feel about it. Usually, one would get punished for what he had done, yet here he was actively encouraged to keep doing it.

[527/765 Exp]

Gary was still Level 6, but each person had granted him 100 Exp, which was double the number he would get for just defeating any colour gang member. It was the most Exp he had ever received for beating someone, and yet he instinctively knew why that was the cause. It was because he had gone far beyond knocking them out…

On top of that, while in the middle of his rage, he had created a Forced Bond with Hawk and the receptionist, turning them into hunting targets. He was pretty sure that the other two would have also been Marked, if it had not been for him hitting the limit at 5.

Gary would have liked to blame everything on his rage, yet he knew exactly what he had been doing. He hadn’t even tried to resist, his thoughts being filled with a desire to punish those assholes for what they had done to his sister.

‘My mind was clear enough for me to make that decision…which means I could have…’

Gary had been assigned two random stat points for forcefully hunting down both of his targets.

[Strength 7]

[Dexterity 6]

[Endurance 11]

While checking his stats, he noticed that the additional points had been split between his Dexterity and Endurance. He had somewhat been hoping that it would have gone to Strength, since that one seemed to be more useful compared to the others. Especially if he was to compare his strength to Billy’s

As for his Health, he noticed that he was completely healed after using the Draining Claw skill on those four. Gary had also figured out that due to the transformation that would occur on his hands when using the skill, that the skill turned out to be stronger than when he had tested it out in the past. It was like having his own pair of blades, but even better than that.

However, on the downside his Energy was rather low after all the fighting. Although he hadn’t needed to use Charging Heart, his Heat rate had actually gone up so much that he had been granted additional stats, similar to the moon’s effect, yet it had ended up consuming more Energy in that state.

[28/120 Energy]

After standing there for a while, the seriousness of the situation had gotten to him.

‘I have to do something about this…I can’t just leave them like this! If I get caught, who is going to look after Mum and Amy? How would they react if they found out I became a murderer? How would everyone react?’ Gary started to worry.

He looked around the room, and noticed that the camera had been turned away. It was likely due to the sketchy things the trio had planned to do. The only person that had actually seen Gary enter had been the receptionist, who was also dead as well.

He would have to check if there were cameras in the hallway, but since the receptionist was involved in this mess, it was a safe bet that those cameras might have been tampered with as well. Heck in a scummy place like this, it wouldn’t surprise him if most of those cameras were just there for show, but Gary couldn’t risk it and would need to check.

‘Amy should be okay, but I need to clean up this room. I need to get rid of the bodies! If I clean up the room a bit, and get rid of the bodies, then it will take them a while before they find out that these guys are dead. They’ll just think they ran away.’

Thinking about this more, Gary felt like he had to get rid of the bodies, if he just left it in the state it currently was in, it was guaranteed to make the news. Stacy and Amy were smart enough to immediately put two and two together and figure out that Gary must have done it.

The last thing he wanted to do was get them two involved. He could perhaps trust his sister to keep a secret but the same couldn’t be said about Stacy.

‘How do I get rid of the bodies without anyone seeing me, though? Should I call Kai again? No, this time I was involved myself, and those guys he might send here will surely ask questions if they have to do so much overtime… ’

As if answering his question the system popped up.

[After a successful hunt, a predator consumes its kill.

Consume human flesh to gain additional stat points]

Seeing the message, Gary started to walk up towards the body. He turned it over so he wouldn’t have to look it in the face.

‘Four bodies…am I really going to do this? I might have changed but how much might I be able to eat… Even If I did this, would I be able to get rid of the bones?’

In Gary’s head, he kept repeating certain thoughts to himself, closing his eyes. ‘The worst part had already been done, they were already dead. They could no longer feel anything.’ So he tried to think of them as just bodies. Rats… only much much bigger.

On top of that, due to his Energy being low he could feel his stomach growling and before he knew it, he was already digging in.

From head to toe, their bodies were gone.

‘I have to remember, I’m doing all of this, for my family.’ Gary told himself.
