Transmigrated as a Wrong Character in a Sorcerer World

"The Baths of Cursed Energy are not divided, so you should be wary of others who are passing their upper baths. Especially if you have enemies; one passing a Second or Third Bath could risk killing you and taking the system's punishment if it benefits their faction."

Klaus nodded. "Thank you, Miss Jasmine. If I can repay you someday, I will."

Jasmine nodded, turned her attention away, and pulled out a strange weapon. It was a broad-bladed knife, tougher and more powerful than the swords.

Then she bestowed it on him.

"Passing the First Bath mission is difficult for a novice like you. Possibly, there will be more powerful people who are going to pass their first bath; this is because the world is imperfect and does not regulate that kind of thing. But don't worry, each opponent's strength is regulated, so if they gave them to you, it's because you can handle them. Cunning should be your greatest weapon, but this will help you."

Klaus nodded, thanked her again, and then left the mansion. 'This is a nice win. This weapon looks great, and it has its own scabbard, so I don't need to carry it in my hand all the time. It's comfortable, too, with this bag she gave me earlier.' Klaus smiled and ran through the city.

From afar, Jasmine looked at him while frowning.

There was something about him that she couldn't understand, but it appealed to her body.

'What a strange situation. It's as if my body was drawn to his by an invisible force.'

This made her help him because the body she had was not ordinary.

It is possibly the most special body type among the inhabitants of this world.

'Why would a body make my body type feel attracted? What kind of body type does he have that makes Point-1 Body feel attracted?' she thought. 'According to my father, my body type is unique, and no other body type can be like it.'

No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't understand it. In the end, she sighed and looked up at the sky.

Just then, a strange flash crossed the sky until it disappeared in seconds.

She smiled a little. 'A Celestial Flash in the Cursed World, huh? How often do you see one? A thousand years? Maybe more. I'm lucky to see one myself; I can brag to my parents.' Her thoughts faded along with her figure, which disappeared into the darkness.

...

Elsewhere in the City, Klaus looked up at the sky. 'Was that a flash of light? In the sky here? For God's sake, do you get to see stars?' He looked at the sky for several minutes, but no matter how long he waited, he couldn't see that flash again.

'Tsk, I seem to be going crazy.' He smiled and hopped around the nearby houses until he reached the top of a building.

'Well, since I thought about getting revenge on these bastards who attacked me for no reason, I guess I was already crazy.' He smiled broadly, looking down.

Below him was the place where he had gone to sell before. It was when he was in that place that those guys started chasing him, looking to murder him, for several hours.

'I think I haven't achieved perfect adaptation yet, and I can't properly exercise the basic ring skill either. But, if I exercise it a few times to get there, I might be able to steal enough and escape unharmed. This will be a bit of a gamble.'

A thieving scientist, maybe that would be good news for the news portals to profit from. Although it wasn't the first time something like this would happen, it was just that this scientist's way of stealing was different from the rest who have tried.

Klaus pulled the weapon from its sheath, the knife gleaming from the nearby artificial lights. He jumped from the small building into the other nearby building and started running toward the most glamorous building.

Although this city had artificial lighting, there wasn't much of it—only in the central parts of each street. So, most of the city remained dark or illuminated by natural lighting with different types of oil chandeliers.

It is a beautiful city architecturally, but it is not modern. It is a medieval city with sturdy, large houses and wide, long, but not-so-tall buildings.

Depending on how far away you were from them, these buildings gave a different feeling, so he had not appreciated them well before.

And he wouldn't do it this time, either.

He only had one mission.

He wanted to break into that place that had given him a hard time. While he wasn't a particularly vindictive man, if someone was bothering him so much like that and looking for him to kill him, he'd better not expect things to stay that way.

When left alone on earth, he learned to move between society and his cunning, always walking in dangerous places, so he lost his fear of this type of situation.

After circling the building and studying it for a full hour, he had seen what he wanted.

'There seem to be warehouses in the south. Then let's go in from the northwest.' He smiled.

He jumped down from the houses and hurried towards the building, heading for a window near the northwest.

The window had been closed about 30 minutes ago, so after noticing no people on the other side, he opened it and jumped out to the other side.

'If I had a map, it would be easy, but with these corridors with so many low-grade windows, it's almost impossible to get stuck. Let's make it quick.' He quickly ran towards some rooms where some people were resting.

This place possibly functioned as a government barracks, but there wasn't much security. Maybe because they don't think they are in danger in such a small town. So, he entered these quiet rooms and stuck his knife into two people, silencing them in a moment.

He pulled them out and threw them in the lonely, partially lit hallway.

He then went into another room, grabbed one of the sleeping people, threw him into the hallway alive, and then ran out of there, heading south.

About 3 minutes later, alarms sounded throughout the building, announcing that an intruder was attacking them. Moreover, alarms were announcing that there were dead people inside, so soon, the sound of footsteps and many people moving roared throughout the place.

Still, the more they went out, the more alarms sounded.

At that moment, there was a little shock among the leaders in the building.

"What happened? Why are the alarms going off so much? If there are a couple of dead people, I told them one alarm is enough. They'll alarm the population. Are they idiots?" roared a tall, black-haired, brown-eyed man. He wore clothing different from the rest that were present in the room.

The most distinctive thing about his clothing was the unique symbol that adorned his shoulder. Even the people present could not understand what it represented. It was like a man coiled by a giant snake, but this snake appeared dead, for the man had one of his arms across the snake's neck.

It was a curious badge but not a recognizable one. Still, he was a man to be respected because he was sent here by the leaders of these lands.

So, the rest of the Leaders stood up. "Excuse me, Distinguished Guest. We'll get back to you in a moment..."

Just then, the door opened abruptly.

"Leaders, there's an intruder, and he's powerful! He's killed over a dozen of our men, but we haven't even been able to see him!" Said the newcomer.

As if waiting for his words, a huge explosion occurred at that moment, causing the leaders to stand up.

"That's the South; it's in the warehouses!" shouted one of the Leaders.

The color drained from the other Leaders' faces when they realized that. 'Shit, there's the distinguished guest's treasures!'

They all ran off at full speed towards the warehouses and arrived quickly. But as they did so...

Their bodies all tensed up.

'They are not...'

'The boxes...'

Just then, the 'Distinguished Guest' arrived shortly after. He, too, was stunned.

"Where are the black boxes that were here!?"

No one knew how to answer.

Suddenly, an armed man came running through the door.

"Sir, it was that invading bastard from earlier; I managed to see him just before he ran out!"

The Distinguished Guest frowned. 'Right, there was one nearby recently...' He turned and looked at him.

The newcomer was the head of the local guard, so the distinguished guest turned his gaze to him.

"A few days ago, I asked you to catch that bastard. Why is he still on the loose? He's taken several treasures. Move the whole city to find him!" he growled, startling everyone present.

Before he finished speaking, he jumped up and out the window where that guy had most likely come out.

He quickly jumped up several tall buildings to get a clear view of the city and widened his vision, trying to look down every street.

But there was no one there.
