Chapter 3: A System Too Dumb to Notice
Somewhere undefined.
The gods are watching.
Watching a sinner worse than a beast.
Kane Velust, a human chosen by a Reaper.
Oh… and not just any Reaper.
This one is a god of destruction, permanently banned from 17 realms and marked as "Kill On Sight."
Why? He committed countless crimes—stealing from other gods.
Yes, including underwear.
"I did not steal underwear!!"
Sure… that's what he says.
He's a "god" in name only. In truth, he's just a kleptomaniac with divine powers.
And he picked the worst possible human.
A broken one. A reject. A mistake.
He created a system.
A system that promised to purify Kane Velust the more sins he committed.
But he didn't realize he handed him a double-edged sword.
And now, the gods are forced to watch this disaster unfold…
…while they've chained the Reaper up in a realm that doesn't even exist.)

I laid back on the bed.
Not as soft as what I had before, but it'll do.
I checked the system.
No new alerts.
After that deer and that old man incident, I gained exactly 1500 sin points.
Total: 4991.
While lying there, I reviewed the plan.
I bought a new item and erased my traces by tossing the old man's belongings into the system.

Meanwhile, in a nearby market…
A shady figure slips his hand into someone's pocket.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
The system rings nonstop.
"Haha… interesting."
Right.
This system is dumb.
So dumb it lets me steal as long as I stand near the target and tap [Confirm].
Walking through the market, I stole fruits, money, supplies.
No evidence.
No witnesses.
No crime.
Just… a really stupid system.
"Wait…"
I noticed someone leaning against the wall.
An old beggar.
He looked… familiar.
Right. He's the old guy I mugged.
...
I pulled a single silver coin from my inventory.
Tossed it into his hat.
"...Thank you."
His voice was shaky. Probably been crying for days.
I simply smirked and leaned casually against a three-way intersection.
Waiting for another unlucky soul to wander by.
Ding.
The coins in the old man's hat got absorbed by the system.
God, this programmer was dumb.
I walked away, still smirking.
Completely unaware of the judgmental eyes following my every step.

I spent all the money.
Bought everything I needed.
Fruits and veggies were already in my system stash.
Time to go home.

+2000 Sin Points
+25% Deception Mastery
+15% Sneak Skill
-30 Integrity Points
> Your current Integrity is: -347
Warning: Increase your integrity or you'll face punishment!
I chuckled.
Honestly, this wasn't surprising.
In my last life, I lied to so many people. Guess it's catching up now.

"What the hell is this bastard doing?!"
One god screamed in rage.
He turned to his side.
The god of integrity was sitting there… sulking.
"His Integrity Score was once 1789.
Now there's a human at -347 in just TWO lifetimes.
I spent over a THOUSAND YEARS to reach -200! What the hell?!"
