Chapter 7: crazy plan
Ben left school heading towards his house with a big smile on his face.
His shoulders were no longer slumped, and he puffed out his chest with pride.
He had committed a large number of evil and questionable morality acts, but the only thing he could feel inside was an incredible euphoria coursing through his entire body.
He walked down the streets as if he owned them, with a confidence he didn't know he could have.
Ben felt that the only thing missing was the Bee Gees' song "Stayin' Alive" to feel like the king of the world.
His only regret was that this world had a different history and culture than his, so none of his favorite songs existed in this world.
Lost in his thoughts, Ben didn't see an arm coming from behind that grabbed him by the neck with force.
Gasp! Ben felt his breath being cut off by the strong grip on his neck.
"What do we have here?" A mocking voice was heard. "Isn't that my little dog?"
A fist hit Ben's stomach, making him double over in pain.
"What were you doing just now?" Asked a black and muscular guy, Darnell. "You seemed to be strutting down the street, almost as if you were something more than a dog."
The group immediately burst out laughing.
Ben raised his head to see his attackers.
Charly, Darnell, Mkdonal, Friga, and his own sister, Susan.
Susan approached him with a smile while pouring a carton of peach juice over his head.
"You're my boyfriend's dog, act like it." She finished pouring the juice on him before looking at him with disgust. "I don't want to see you acting like a human being again, you're just our dog. A pathetic and insignificant dog."
Having said that, she gave him a strong slap on the face that left her palm print.
That slap hurt much more than the previous ones, as it came from who was supposed to be his own sister.
"You! Fucking bitch-" With a kick, Charly didn't let Ben finish.
"You know we followed you because you apparently forgot something very important." With a giggle, Charly pulled out the dog collar he had put in his locker in the morning. "You forgot your leash!"
The others laughed as Charly crouched next to him and put the leash around his neck.
"Film this, guys!" Charly pointed at him with a smile. Placing a bowl of milk on the floor, Charly grabbed him by the leash and with his right foot, he forced Ben to put his head in it. "Drink it all like a good little dog, so you'll grow up strong and big."
The other guys took out their phones and started recording him.
"Oh my god, this is so good!" Susan exclaimed with an excited look, seeing the expression of anguish and pain on her brother's face.
Ben had an immense urge to spend all his evil points right now and give those five people their due.
But he had been patient for a long time and was sure he could do it for one more day.
"Smile for the camera!" Susan shouted amidst the laughter of her friends who were also taking pictures and videos.
He had more than enough points to buy an affinity, but that wouldn't give him any power. Like Becca, who has an affinity but hasn't reached the stage of elemental mage yet.
That's why Ben endured the humiliation with gritted teeth and memorized the faces of all the people around him. But especially, he looked at the face of his disgusting sister who was taking pictures with a vile smile on her face.
Laugh while you can!
As usual, Ben received blows and mockery until the group got bored of it and left him lying in the middle of the street to find fun elsewhere.
Just like the day before, Ben returned beaten. But this time, his mood was not gloomy, and in fact, there was a small smile on his face as he entered his room.
Browsing through the system's store, Ben found what he was looking for and bought it without hesitation.
[- 2500 evil points]
[Permanent Double Affinity]
[Description: It is only possible to purchase this gift before embarking on the path of a mage. The double affinity allows the user to awaken two affinities and, being eternal, it is usable at all levels.]
A crazy smile appeared on his face as he read the description. He didn't want to become a common and ordinary mage; he wanted something that would make him stand out from the rest and make him much more powerful.
This gift was clearly ideal for the job.
The only problem was that it left him virtually point-less.
Again... He had to commit evil acts.
The mere thought brought a smile to his face.
The first person he thought of was Susan. Remembering her gaze and her laughter made his eyes acquire a cold and cruel tint.
My revenge is coming!
Since it was still very early, Ben went out to eat something with the money he had stolen the night before. On the way back, he stopped by a pharmacy.
Sleeping pills!
They were his secret weapon for what he had planned.
'If taking advantage of Becca gave me so many points,' he thought, 'how much would I gain when we include a little incest?'
Yes! Ben planned to put his sister to sleep deeply and take advantage of her unconscious body.
Now the problem was finding a way for Susan to consume the pills.
He had planned to crush them and put them in one of her drinks, but doing it without being discovered was the problem.
There was always someone in the house, usually his mother.
He had to find a moment when he would be alone and mix the pills with one of her diet drinks.
Holding the pills in his hand, Ben smiled excitedly. In his previous life, he had been the typical good boy who didn't break a plate.
But adulthood and life taught him a harsh and bitter lesson.
And that is that in life, you won't do well if you act well.
That will only make you feel good about yourself.
In life, the real winners and successful people are those who don't mind stepping on others to get what they want.
The bad guy always does well, while the good guy believes in some higher entity that will reward his good actions.
