Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can check the outside."

Nodding toward the strange man in front of her, the woman hurriedly and anxiously walked toward the large wooden door in the distance, touching its rough surface before pushing it with force.

Creak~

In an instant, the warmth of the sunlight touches her petite body, bringing warmth and hope to her cold being as she gazes silently toward the familiar view on the horizon with mixed emotions.

"I-indeed, I'm still alive. I could still accompany my sister; she wouldn't end up in the slum...

"I never thought that the sunlight could be comforting."

Feeling relief, the accumulated stress within her body finally gushed out, akin to water breaking through the dam as the streaks of tears began to uncontrollably flow from the corner of her eyes.

The burden of the thought that she would leave her sister alone in this damn world, fending for herself at a young age, vanished toward the void.

"I could still see my sister grow into a fine lady... I could still protect her and make her life happy."

Soon, after a couple of minutes of silently staring toward the void, the woman wiped the corner of her eyes, retracting her gaze from the towering wall before staring toward the pale man on the counter of the shop.

"I-I don't know how I could repay you, respected master. I will never forget this favor!

"If you have anything you want me to do, I will do my best to accomplish it!"

Hmm?

Looking at the determination in the eyes of the woman opposite him, Leo's brows couldn't help but rise in surprise.

Truth be told, he wasn't expecting that the cultivators he healed today would repay him for the kindness he showed; the fact that they had helped him reduce the requirements for his class job advancement was already enough payment for him.

However, since someone offered their willingness to repay him, how could he heartlessly decline it?

Touching his chin for a couple of seconds, pondering deep within himself as he eyed the woman opposite him, a sudden idea sprouted within his mind, making his eyes glow slightly due to the possibility of it.

"This might work; however, I needed to see if her character wasn't superficial.'

Without further ado, Leo's gray irises suddenly deepened, glinting with silver light as he directly stared at the woman in front of him.

Using the uniqueness of his eyes, the silver soul with a hint of yellow glow on its surface soon entered Leo's vision.

Unlike the souls of others, which often carried a hint of redness or darkness within them—a testament to their soul always carrying a hint of malicious intent.

The woman's soul, although it showed instability under his prying eyes, still retained its purity. Meaning that the woman's current intention was clear!

"What is your name?"

"A-Angelica respected master."

"I see, then from now on you will work in this shop; you will be looking for the shop when I am away or when I am busy with something. As for your salary, I will give you a boosting potion per week and 2 Earth gold per month."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the woman suddenly widened, not expecting that she would gain a job instead of doing something that she despises and goes beyond her morals.

Moreover, the salary was actually beyond her imagination! To the point that she began doubting if her ears were working perfectly.

A single potion, even the diluted ones, already cost at least 5 earth silver in the market price, not to mention that the normal ones which cost at least 10 earth gold per bottle!

Furthermore, she would also receive another 5 earth gold per month!

It could be said that even after she reached the middle stage of the foundation realm, her monthly salary as a guard was only 2 earth silver per month, already enough for her and her sister to live quite comfortably within the town.

"However...'

Snapping from her thoughts, Angelica couldn't help but stare in the distance, gazing at the moving flesh and detached limbs that were busy dragging a number of unconscious beings toward the dark corner of the shop in fear and fright.

She couldn't imagine herself staying alone in this shop with those abominations roaming around her; furthermore, the rich scent of a seeming mixture of vomit and piss kept assaulting her nostrils... Making her head spin slightly every time she inhaled.

"Angelica, don't hesitate anymore; this is for the future of your sister and you! You might regret it in a lifetime if you decline!'

Gritting her teeth in hesitation, Angelica finally exhaled a long, deep breath, focusing her mind before nodding toward the being in front of her.

"Respected master, when could I start my job?"

...

Soon, time passed by.

After hiring Angelica an hour ago. Under Leo's healing skill, the unconscious beings in the corner of the room began to wake up one by one.

Fortunately, after they woke up, the cultivators only showed signs of confusion and slight fear on their faces for quite a while before they finally accepted the fact that they were still alive under Leo's demonic voice.

It could be said that Leo's control over his persuasion ability began to deepen after he used a couple of enlightenment stones days ago, making even core formation realm cultivators unknowingly affected by it if he spent some effort poisoning their minds.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't forcefully kill a cultivator with his words, or else he would gain another offensive ability.

An extremely fatal ability on top of that!

Creak~~

As Leo was lost in his thoughts, the wooden door in the distance suddenly issued a creaking noise, opening afterward as a man, oozing a dangerous aura around him, began to walk in Leo's direction.

Gazing at him with scrutinizing eyes as if inspecting his being before finally stopping 2 meters away from him.

"Are you Mr. Leo?"
