The Avarice System

Someone set a fire inside of his construction site and it was completely burned. Villagers extinguished the fire, still entire building needed to be done from the beginning.

Aron was mad as his plans were postponed once again, still how to track the culprit without any lead.

[Burned wooden wall]

[Desc: Wooden wall burned by fire.]

"Ohh f.u.c.k!" This information didn"t help him at all, so he decided to put his current skill points into appraisal.

[Appraisal lv.15…]

"I had 11 points it got only to 15 level? What"s the matter?"

[Leveling skill after 10 level consumes 2 points. Skill requires more and more skill points every 10 levels. For example leveling skills after 20 level requires 5 points for every level.]

"It"s not cheap…" It was reasonable as grinding skills was more time consuming.

[Host should be happy that you can level up skills with points.]

"You are right."

[Burned wall.]

[Desc: Wall burned in fire set up by Bob.]

"Ohh! I will f.u.c.king kill the moron!" Aron rushed to Bob"s place, it was simple. He knew that person was supporter of Ian and wanted to force him to admit that it was Ian"s order.

Bang! He kicked Bob"s hut"s door and it slammed on nearby wall. His speed was fast and before man could really understand what"s happening Aron was before him.

"What are you doing! Stop! HELP, HE WANTS TO KILL ME!" Bob was terrified by sudden events, he thought none will even suspect him or find out about his deed.

"Shut your f.u.c.king mouth! SLAP!" Aron didn"t want to listen to his bulls.h.i.+t, so he slapped him couple times and then knocked him out.

He dragged him to ruins of his construction and tied him to one of the pillars. It was time to use wrath of ma.s.ses for punishment.

The easiest way was calling all villagers and using their wrath to punish the stupid man without doing anything.

"Carl! I found a culprit of today"s fire." His voice carried anger and resentment; this project was important to future developments of his plans.

"Ehh? Who did such awful things?" Carl was surprised by his sudden exclamation, someone went overboard and set a fire. It was crime that could burn an entire village, it couldn"t be forgiven easily.

"It"s Bob, and he was acting suspiciously recently. I saw him couple times watching the construction site. After today"s events I decided to observe his actions and I was freaking right. This monster went to Ian and bragged about this deed!" Aron created another fake story to cover his version of events and find an excuse for capturing the criminal.

"What do you want to do with him? He has many friends, so you cannot act rashly!" It was obvious that people would support their friend instead of an outsider like Aron.

"I will give him public trial and execution today! Call all people and let me deal with this!" Carl became terrified but Aron"s decision was right. Bob was ready to destroy to someone"s life, so he needed to take consequences.

A few hours later all villagers were gathered and many started complaining.

"I gathered you all to give a trial to a monster!" His voice resounded in entire village, those words were harsh for small time criminal like Bob.

"Today at my building was burned by this person! SETTING A FIRE AND CAUSING DANGER FOR ENTIRE VILLAGE! IMAGINE IF PEOPLE DIDN"T REACT ENTIRE VILLAGE WOULD BURN! This monster aimed at our lives and wellbeing! His evil deeds caused him to be so full of himself, that he started bragging to his friends about this monstrosity! WE NEED TO ELIMINATE THE BEAST BEFORE IT"S TOO LATE!" His manipulation caused an entire crowd to become enraged, and they wanted to tear Bob into pieces.

"Do you have anything to add before your punishment?" Controlling emotions of a crowd and setting up the scene. Bob became scared of all angry people staring at him.

"I dddidn"t meaaan too! It was Ian"s idea! HE Ordered me!" He panicked and admitted his mistakes, and his death was set in stone.

"According to plan. I had fake story as my evidence, but right now his fate is sealed!" The entire performance aimed was created to make him admit his mistakes and destroy reputation of Ian.

"LIES! I didn"t say anything to him! It"s witchcraft, and he is manipulating Bob! HELP ME TAKE HIM DOWN!" Ian tried to convince reverse situation, but people wouldn"t just switch their wrath because of simple words.

"You heard him! He is the accomplices of a monster! Ian wants to silence me because he is guilty! GET HIM TO THE TRIAL!" People didn"t trust Aron much, yet his charisma allowed him to manipulate their emotions and minds.

"It"s his fault! I am only simple man! Let me go!" Bob was shouting with tears inside of his eyes. None cared about his fate, he was just the chess piece in game between Aron and Ian.

"SHUT UP! I didn"t order you to do anything!" Ian became angry at Bob. It was simple task, set a fire and not let anyone found out.

"You are lying! You hate this kid to the bones! It"s all your fault and you set me up!" Bob didn"t want to die, so he was trying everything he could.

"SILENCE! Bob is guilty of attempted murder of the entire villages! His punishment will be trial of fire!" It was simple trial, and criminal was given to fire for a judgement. They believed that G.o.ds won"t hurt a innocent people, so fire would burn only criminals.

Ian was too respected to set him up in such manner. People started doubting Ian"s good will but they wouldn"t believe he wanted to kill them.

"Do you have anything to add? IAN?" It was another trap, defending Bob would cause his reputation go downhill. Second option was even more problematic, it was betraying his supporter and consequences were simple. Many of his supporters will leave him, and his influence will be minimal in the villages.

"I admit one thing. I complained about you, still I didn"t know that this monster will do such thing! His actions were aiming at our lives! I simply regret not preventing him on stepping on such road without return." Ian could only save his image, and Bob"s fate was sealed and there was no possible way to save him.

"START TRIAL OF FIRE!" Man screamed in pain while he was burning. Air was filled with smell of burned flesh.

"They are stupid and blood thirstily! They are simple and easy to manipulate! Only few were disappointed by this situation." Most of the simple people liked to watch someone"s misery and pain. It was proved by creating colosseums in ancient Rome.

"First your supporters! Then your family! Finally, I will come for you!" His plan was to deal in other way with his enemies, yet they knocked into his door with evil intentions. It was simple provocation and it required action.

Ian sat inside of his forge and gritted his teeth. His supporters started to fear about their lives. His hatred to Aron was so intense that if it could materialize it would swallow entire village.

"You will f.u.c.king regret this, stupid kid!" His anger couldn"t be stopped by simple words. He started madly pounding at his anvil with his hammer, venting out all of his wrath.
