Charles suddenly felt a huge headache, which lasted barely a second before feeling free once again. He looked around in dismay, confused at what happened. Then, he started remembering what happened. What he did.
He frantically searched until he found her. Lucie. As he arrived near her, he fell down, crying. He held her body, trying to find a breath or a pulse, but she was dead, there was nothing left.
Meanwhile, Dorian stood away, his wings unfolding back. Using his wings, along with his Life Essence… had felt amazing. But as he looked at the crying Charles, he didn't feel the happiness, but felt pity.
No matter what happened, seeing a man who was forced to kill his wife, even he felt something. But he didn't go help him, that wouldn't help and he had better stuff to do.
Looking around, countless lights shone, of various colors. For Dorian, this was probably the most magnificent sight his eyes ever fell on. From white to blue, passing by green, there was of everything.
Dorian straight out ignored all the white lights, there were too many of them. Even for the green lights, there were more than ever before.
So Dorian set his attention upon the few blue lights.
They came from few corpses: The Captain of the Stingers, Marcus, Lucie and Ludwig. Dorian decided to head towards the Captain first, as he was the closest.

Approaching him, Dorian saw his twisted expression. His death definitely hadn't been gentle. Well, Dorian had crushed his inside with a kick, so of course it wasn't nice.
There were multiple objects of interest on him. His boots, his bag, his cloak, and his pair of daggers.
First, Dorian looked at the boots:
[Name: Telaria's Wings]
[Type: Boots]
[Rarity: Blue]
[Defense: E]
[Requirement: 20 Vitality]
[Effects: Agility +6, allow you to jump higher.]
[Float: It allows you to float slightly in the air, or slow down a fall. No cost or cooldown.]
[Remark: Those boots are said to have once been weared by Adonis the Great, and were of a great value to him. Whether it is true or not, you shall guess.]
Seeing all the great effects, Dorian didn't hesitate in changing his old boots and putting on those. It instantly lifted his Agility to 26.
He didn't get to try it out though, as he continued looking at the other equipments. What followed was the green cloak.
[Name: Shadow Cloak]
[Type: Cloak]
[Rarity: Green]
[Defense: F]
[Requirement: Basic Stealth (10/10)]
[Effects: Makes your Stealth one level higher.]
[Shadow Shift: Transform into a shadow to gain speed. Agility +8 for five seconds.]
[Remark: This was crafted by a talented craftsman, a little too talented…]
Dorian would have been interested by this if he didn't already have his [Scorpion's Shell], as the two couldn't stack. Although five seconds weren't a lot, +8 to his already great Agility would make it more than enough to kill someone. This was an assassin's stuff, made to assassin people. And the stealth effect was good too. But this was doomed in being sold by Dorian.
Next, Dorian looked at daggers, and was surprised to see that they identified as a set, it was his first time seeing this.
[Name: Tina and Tima]
[Type: Melee Weapon]
[Rarity: Blue]
[Attack: D]
[Requirement: Adept Dagger Mastery, 20 Perception.]
[Effects: Soundless lvl3]
[Precise Strike: When both daggers strike at the same time, it ignore 50% of the armor.]
[Durability: 968/1000 and 896/1000]
[Remarks: This pair of identical daggers were found in a ruin by its original owner, their true origin is unknown. Did it come from an ancient civilization, a temple, or did it just used to be another adventurer's?]
This, he was interested in. The skill on the weapon was perfect for him, as this was how he assassinated people. There was one thing that was problematic though, could he equip those on?
He only got past 20 in Perception with his mask, but was the requirement about his pure attribute?
Dorian tried wielding them, and was relieved to see that he could use them. Still curious, Dorian kept them in hand and took off his mask.
But nothing happened, he still could wield the daggers, despite his Perception no longer being good enough. Dorian tried to use them again.
He immediately felt weird, all his senses seemed to have been sabotaged. He cut his own hands while swinging the daggers, as if he had never used a dagger before… No, even someone who never used them wouldn't cut themselves.
Dorian put the mask back up and asked the system "System, can you explain what just happened?"
[The requirements on different equipments are of different natures. The attribute related requirements don't have to be met to use them, but accidents could happen. Only certain requirements, like 'owned by X' can make an equipment unusable.]
Dorian asked "What are the effects for the different lack in attributes?"
[A lack of Strength makes you unable to lift it, a lack of Speed will make you slow as a snail, a lack of Vitality will tire you out extremely quickly, a lack of Intelligence will give you a headache, a lack of Perception will mislead your senses.]
Dorian nodded and thanked the system before going back to his looting.
There only remained the bag, which was similar to Dorian's in uses except the space inside was smaller. Inside were medicines, food, reports, maps, some books and the armor he was given earlier.
Dorian immediately took the armor out, he was interested in this grade 3 armor. But there was something off, there wasn't any light coming from it. Inside the spatial bag, when Dorian looks through it he can see the lights, but there wasn't any around this one.
As he held it and inspected it, he heard a voice next to him say "It's fake, I'm good at making artifacts, I can make fake ones too."
Dorian looked at Charles, who was carrying his dead wife in his arms, and said "You alright?" Charles sighed and said "No. I'm sorry for attacking you, I didn't mean to."
Dorian rolled his eyes and said "I freed you, of course I know you didn't mean to." Charles shook his head and said "I still need to apologize."
Dorian shrugged and said "If that's what you want then you can give me your wife's spatial ring, with the staff."
Charles looked lost for a second, before looking longingly at the ring on his wife's hand, and the staff that rested on her.
Seeing his hesitation and reluctance, Dorian added "I'm not a specialist, but seeing how guilty you feel, everytime you will see those you will only think back of your mistake, not of her. First find redemption, and once that's done you may take both the ring and the staff back from me."
Tears started forming once again in Charles' eyes, but he looked resolute at the ring and took it from his wife's hand, then made the staff disappear into it before handing it over to Dorian.
Dorian took the ring, which shone with a blue light. Lucie had two blue items on her: The staff, the ring and her robe. But Dorian wasn't so cruel he would take off that dress, even if he got it all he would probably have to sell it, because he got something better.
Looking at his [Scorpion's Shell] evolution requirement, it was only missing one. The Captain's blood. After accepting the ring though, Dorian first decided to look at its status. It was basically the same as the spatial bag, only that the space available was bigger.
Instead of 5*5*5, it was now 20*20*20. Still, he wouldn't discard his bag as it didn't take much place, but it offered a lot of possibilities. Dorian tried putting the bag into the ring but felt a force stop him from doing that.
He expected that, that would be too simple to put spatial devices inside spatial devices. Dorian then proceeded to put order in everything he got.
He put all the medicines in his wolf spatial bag, the food in the spatial bag from the Captain and everything he would sell in the Dreamland inside his spatial ring.
When he was finished, he started walking towards Marcus' body.
