Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Austin moved with in the darkness. He moved without nobody noticing him. He was moving so silently and stealthily that not even the rats even noticed when he moved past them.
"I need to create a state of insecurity in this city. If I kill several people every day for quite a while then it shall create fear in this city and when they are sent reinforcements then all I have to do is kill those reinforcements. I create a state of national panic."
This city was bigger than the other and even more packed. This city was also more important as the closest city was only 20 kilometres away therefore this city had a higher number of merchants and traders compared to the other city. There were currently 2.8 million people in this city and a huge amount of them were working citizens. Also a lot of nobles and businessmen lived here so creating chaos was good for him as it shook them up.
Right now he needed to kill someone to gain people's attention. He couldn't just kill a random nobody that no one cared about. He had to aim high so that he could create a stir.
Austin finally reached a mansion. It was surrounded by a giant wall four times a normal person's height.
"Great more walls, I'm starting to see a pattern here." Austin said as he jumped onto the wall. His plan was to kill the noble that lived here. Viscount Drokan. Viscount Drokan and Austin were on terrible terms. After Austin had insulted him and humiliated him in public he had always found some way to get in his way. After Demon King Malekith had killed three of his companions Viscount Drokan used this to create bad publicity for Austin. He had even accused Austin of setting his teammates up so that they could be killed and ran away.
This theory had gained attention from the royal family and he had been imprisoned for a week and after the investigation was over he had been let go. Viscount Drokan did not suffer any repercussions after telling such tall tales.
"I will kill him last, if I kill him now then it would seem like a political assassination. I need to create a buzz around this city and make people feel unsafe. Killing the viscount will be the final nail in the coffin."
Having said that Austin jumped down the wall and ran across the giant garden using the darkness as a cover. He did not need to do such a thing but it was matter of habit. Years of sneaking and sulking in the darkness like batman would take its toll.
Austin jumped up onto a balcony. He looked through the window of the door only to see no one was in the room. He opened the door and walked in. It was a normal luxurious room with giant space. Austin walked out into the corridor. He was looking for a maid to kill. He finally spotted one and was about to grab her before he caught himself.
"No, I can't kill her. I need to build momentum. I need to increase the level of fear step by step. I can't just start from 90." Having said that Austin got out the same way he came in.
He prowled the streets for a while before finally spotting his target. A giant fat lady who seemed like she was out of breath. From what Austin could see she was out of breath and could not even walk any more.
Austin walked over to her and initiated a conversation with her. "Hello young miss, are you okay."
The lady who was bent over and holding her knees as she took deep breaths did not bother looking up. Her heavy bags were on the floor. "Flattery won't work on me, who do you think I a-"
The ladies sentence was cut mid sentence as she had finally decided to take a look at Austin. She had thought he was a hoodlums who wanted to rob her but after seeing him she had second thoughts. His body and clothes were clean and he was well built as if he had taken care of his body carefully and meticulously.
After observing him for quite a while she came to the conclusion that Austin was her type. 'Maybe he's just into older ladies.' she thought. She was self conscious of her body so after receiving the attention of a man she thought that there was either something wrong with either his eyes or he just had a weird fetish for older fat woman.
"Hi..." she said. Just looking at him had taken her breath her breath away.
"Hi..." Austin replied.
"...."
"I saw you from quite a distance away struggling with the bags do you need help carrying them?" Austin asked.
"N... yes... yes please." the lady said. Even if he was not interested in her and just decided to help her out of common human decency then who was she to complain after all she did want to speak to him more.
She was just too shy. Austin picked up her bags for her and walked with her engaging in a short conversation. Austin had actually enjoyed the talk with this woman. She had some really funny jokes and a nice smile. She would also blush occasionally which made Austin slightly attracted to her.
'Very well, I'll hold of killing you for now.' he said to himself.
They finally reached the woman's house and Austin handed her her bags. Just as he was about to leave in search for his first victim the fat woman invited him inside. Her name was Alice and she was actually 28 years old.
Austin contemplated for quite a while and decided to put his plans of killing people on hold for quite a while. It's not like he wouldn't find someone to kill later on.
Austin sat with Alice, ate some biscuits, drank some wine and spent quite a while talking to her. Finally Austin stood up and decided to take the initiative. He placed his lips on her hers and pressed down on them. He did not feel any resistance so he continued.
Her arms wrapped around his back and his on her waist slowly moving downwards.

10 minutes later Austin was on his back on a bed with Alice next to him. "I'm sorry, this is my first time in a very long time." he said. He covered his face in shame as he had not lasted longer than 5 minutes.
"Well, it's my first time in a long time as well." Alice said. Truth be told this was only her second time.
"Don't worry I can keep going." Austin said as climbed on top of her and placed a kiss on her lips.

A man kneeled in front a king who sat on his throne. The man wore a shiny armour, his sword on his hips and his helmet in his hand.
"The demon king is dead sire, along with the heroes companions. We have found their bodies littered in front of the demon kings castle."
"The demon king is dead you say, did you see his body?"
"No sire but we have confirmed it using the candle. It has ran out."
"What about the hero." the king asked. He was a fat man who wore expensive clothes made from gold and a heavy looking crown.
"He has been declared missing in action sire."
"Hmm, what does the candle say?"
The man hesitated for a bit before speaking with a low voice.
"The candle has been stolen."
"What? The candle has been stolen. Who stole it? When was it stolen?"
"Approximately a week ago."
"A week ago, is that not when the hero and his companions left the city."
"Yes it is Sire."
The king tapped on the armrest of the throne. "All of them are dead except for the hero who is missing in action. That bastard probably stole it. I want soldiers all across the kingdom sent to search for him."
"Yes sire."
The man stood up and bowed before leaving.

Just so you know he was only able to get laid because she had low self esteem and nothing else.
