Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 Simple

Sylas suddenly remembered something. When he first entered, it said the entry limit was three. He had thought that maybe after he entered, the entrance would close anyway. The other requirements were just suggestions, so he thought that the entrance would disappear after he entered.?",

It seemed that he had made the incorrect assumption.

'Two people entered after me.'

Sylas' gaze narrowed.

Several questions popped up in his head, but the main of them was: if he killed them, would the entry limit open up again for more people to enter? That might be more trouble than it was worth.

But the minions here were also very valuable to him.

'Even if it allows more in, the odds that there's another group ready to enter nearby is slim… unless they came in a larger group than just a pair, in which case, their other partners might be waiting and notice that the entry limit increased once again.'

Sylas mind spun with several thoughts and he landed on yet another worry…

Did they know he was here?

First it was the duo that ambushed him in the gnoll village, and now these people. Was it a coincidence? It couldn't be.

Sylas hadn't spent very long in the forest alone. Aside from the first day he spent stalking the Irish Elk, he had spent the rest of the time in the Dungeon and then had somehow lost himself three months while inside it. That was all to mean that he had no idea how common it was to meet fellow humans in the wilds.

But for it to happen twice, and both times while he was at such a pivotal moment?

'Should I kill them?'

This was the final thought that came to mind.

Sylas hadn't hesitated to kill those two men. He also didn't lose any sleep over it. Maybe all of Alex's jokes were right on the money and he really was on some kind of spectrum.

Honestly, he wasn't sure, nor did he think that it particularly mattered. He didn't kill indiscriminately, nor did he feel some sick pleasure when he did. It was just like any other action he took to him, one that benefitted himself and paved a path toward his future.

Everything he came across in this world was a matter of life and death. He wouldn't allow his sentiments of morality to limit his future path.

But…

He remembered his words to Lauren quite clearly. He told her not to let this world dictate or change you…

The difference was that Sylas didn't think he was changing at all. He was still the same Sylas.

On Earth, he wasn't allowed to kill to meet his own ends. In fact, doing so would limit and cut off his future instead of enhancing it. It was almost impossible to commit the perfect crime in modern times.
