Shadow parasite

"You sure managed to surprise everyone, including myself."

Gorn smiled slightly: "It might be a little fun at first, but it gets old fast."

Since he was free for the rest of the day Gorn decided to walk around the city for a bit.

"I have a piece of advice for you."

"What is it?" asked Lora almost automatically.

"Try not to be a bitch to people that did nothing to you, only because you have some problems."

With that answer, Gorn left the school. Everyone that he beat today was someone who ridiculed and talked to him behind his back. Ignoring such behavior was an option, but giving them a good beating from time to time was possible too.

Buying himself a coffee, Gorn got inside a bus. It was almost like having a personal driver. There was quite a diversity of architectural beauty. Many buildings were clearly made by using materials and techniques that could not be found in other places.

Tall buildings were not that common, and they did not exceed a certain limit. Even though powerful monsters were flying above the city, they usually flew at a very high altitude. The cause was actually the weather, which could become very violent at times, especially at higher altitudes.

Most of the full-grown people had a power level of below fifty, with few exceptions. Their jobs were varied, and the pay was sufficient to have a decent life. The stronger you were, the higher the chances to get a better job, and status.

City guards were also present throughout the city. The power level of an average city guard was around two hundred. Of course, there were also stronger individuals who occupied leading positions or were responsible for certain areas.

They belonged to the city lord faction and ensured that peace was maintained in the city. It was peaceful at first glance, but there were always exceptions. With a certain status or wealth, you could do quite a lot of trouble to the normal public if you wanted.

'Well, I'm not a saint either... .'

There were quite a few schools spread throughout the city. Not that far away from his house, but in the opposite direction was the school where Mara and Nora went. Their power level was very low, at only fifteen. Gorn knew very well how hard it was.

To make things worse, the twins were quite good-looking, just like their mother. Long black hair, and eyes, oval faces with beautiful features, coupled with an attractive body, and the fact that they were twins, brought quite the envy, and desire from around them. Gorn got out of the bus.

'As far as I know, it's been only a few years since I came to this household. Unfortunately, I don't understand many things, and have no way to discover them at this point.'

He had the current body since he could remember, so possessing someone else's body was not that plausible.

'Is this another version of myself, or what exactly is going on?'

The more he thought about it the weirder, and more complicated it got.

'Forget it.'

One foot in front of the other Gorn quickly got in front of the school. It practically had the same design.

'Now, let's see who dares to harm my cute little twins.'

With great swagger, Gorn entered the building. In half an hour he managed to find them. Both of them were sitting quietly at the back of the class while everyone else chatted happily, moving around, enjoying the break.

It was clear to see that something was amiss. Blending in the crowd Gorn observed the situation. Soon enough a group of girls surrounded Mara and Nora.

They were harassing and humiliating the twins by pulling their hair, slapping them in the head, and even grabbing their assess while saying obscene words.

'Women are sure more cruel than men sometimes... .'

There was no point in waiting longer.

"Hello you ugly bitches!" said Gorn after arriving in front of the group.

"Gorn? What are you doing here?" asked Mara, clearly not expecting him.

"I'm here to clean the trash of course."

Not being able to hold it in anymore Gorn got to work. The strongest girl had a power level of around fifty, so it was a one-sided affair.

"Quickly call the teacher!" yelled someone from the back.

By the point the teacher arrived, the bullies were beaten beyond recognition. Gorn made sure to inflict as much pain as possible.

"You there! What do you think you are doing?"

Race: Human

Talent: Medium

Power level: 220

Abilities: None

Equipment: Normal clothes

Loot: 220 gold

Confirm target? Yes No

Only a handful of teachers were special, as for the rest, they were exactly like this one. Nonetheless, two hundred and something was a high number by normal standards.

"I'm doing your job, you old bastard."

It was the first time the teacher suffered such humiliation since coming to this school. Enraged, he attacked without saying anything else. His fate, unfortunately for him, became the same as the other girls.

"As you can see, I've become much stronger, so it is high time for a few changes."

Mara and Nora looked at him with great surprise. Usually, they only met during the evening and exchanged very few words. Jumping in his embrace both of them started to cry. He could only imagine how much they suffered and endured.

"It's all going to be alright," said Gorn while also embracing them.

After a few minutes, they calmed down.

"Thank you so much!"

Gorn smiled: "Let's go home!"

Taking both of them Gorn left. Surprisingly, none of the twins asked any questions on their way back. Once home they spoke in unison.

"Please help our mother if you can!"

Just as he thought, there were quite a few problems in the household. Talking with them, he soon found out additional details. Elisa, their mother was working very hard to pay some debts that her deceased husband left behind.

Her boss found out about this matter and used it against her. He had taken a fancy to Elisa for some time already and used this reason to harass her, becoming more and more daring every day. Luckily, the man owned just a little business, and didn't have great power.

"I'm going to bring Elisa home. Do you want to wait here or do you want to come with me?"

"We want to come with you," said the twins in unison.

Their little sister was in a place that was similar to a school and would come home only later. Since they didn't have a car, the bus came into play yet again.

'I'll need to buy myself a car soon,' thought Gorn, forgetting for the moment that he was way faster than any vehicle the city had to offer.
