《Infinite Mana in the Mage Academy》


 Chapter 1 1 - INF

    A gentle breeze blew across the face of a young man.


    Inside the Mighty Mage Academy, located in the Great Magician Kingdom, he walked alone on the busy street.


    Students dressed in light white robes, which looked dazzling because of the high-grade materials that were used to create it, walked with their respective groups, chatting with each other.


    A bright smile hung on their face, as the pride of being a mage reflected in their face.


    While walking, the student''s eyes fell on the young man.


    The young man dressed in a monotonous white robe looked pale inparison to the gorgeous mage robe of other students.


    Obviously, he wasn''t a mage. Or, he wasn''t considered a mage.


    His appearance even made the low-talented students have some pride on their faces since the figure in front of them was much worse than them.


    Studentsughed softly, looking at the figure while ridiculing him.


    "Look, it''s Allen! Today also, he is a Tier 0 mage."


    "Really?! He has been in this academy for 3 years, and he is still a Tier 0 mage!"


    "I feel bad for him, his father is a Tier 6, Warrior. Despite being the son of a talented man, he is trash..."


    "Let alone his father, his mother is also a Tier 6 Archer. Even being the son of two talented individuals, he''s trash!"


    "Well, I have heard that, if he remains Tier-0 mage for two more weeks, he will get kicked out from the academy."


    "Not only that, to remain here, he has to be Tier 3 mage in two months, or else he wouldn''t be able to take part in Mage Tournament, which will result in being restricted."


    "Tier 3 mage in two months, don''t joke. I could guarantee that it will take more than 10 years for him to even take a step in tier 1."


    "Who knows, if his luck hit jackpot, he would directly be a Tier 3 mage."


    "Haha, that was a funny joke. I''d rather believe a magic weapon falling from the sky than expect him to be Tier 3 mage in two months."


    Theughter of students filled the air of the road. Hearing their sarcastic words, Allen couldn''t help but sneer.


    It would have been normal for him to be untalented if he was normal.


    But Allen is a transmigrator. He transmigrated to this world three years ago, when the original Allen was a freshman in this academy.


    He tried his best to be a mage. He even thought that he would have a bright future like those protagonists, he read in novels and mangas.


    s, life didn''t go as he wanted.


    He didn''t even understand how to cast spells let alone control his mana.


    Allen didn''t have any talent in magic. He couldn''t even control his mana, let alone cast a spell.


    umting magic power was already a huge deal for him, but using magical power to form magic was a task on a different level.


    Naturally, Allen who didn''t even know a thing about magic couldn''t be a mage.


    It took two years for him to build his understanding of mana, spells, and magic. After that, he could finally cast magic.


    But, he had to start from Tier 0, the very beginning of the mage which everyone starts from. It only took one month or two months for people to break through Tier 0 to Tier 1.


    Geniuses don''t need more than a week.


    But it had been 1 year and still, Allen is a Tier 0 mage. In the history of humankind, no other mage has been in Tier 0 for more than 3 months. And here, Allen has broken through world record by a huge margin, which couldn''t be called an honor.


    Like always, with an emotionless face, Allen ignoring the words of other students walked toward the back of the academy, where a huge ground is located.


    This ground isn''t used by many people, since nobody wants to waste their timeing here when they have a training ground right in the Academy.


    For one year, Allen came here to practice his magic spell. A Tier 0 spell ''Spark''.


    Spark, like its name, suggested, Allen could only produce a small fire spark that couldn''t even be used to light a cigarette.


    But he did not give up. Like one of the students said, Allen, came here to practice his spell always, hoping to break through to Tier 1.


    If he could break through to Tier 1, his magic spell ''Spark'' would also be Tier 1, generating a big spark. But, even with that, he could only produce a spark that can''t be used in battle.


    But, if he could breakthrough, he can finally choose an attribute.


    Choosing attribute means, he can be a mage of distinct attributes, like Fire mage, Water mage, Wind mage, etc.


    Even though he could get the luxury of choosing, he can''t choose those attributes beyond hispatibility. But, after choosing an attribute, his strength will increase drastically.


    "Let''s try again today."


    While sighing, Allen reached the back of the Academy, where a huge ground was situated. Trees covered the ground, but not a single life was visible on the ground. Only sands and dust could be seen.


    No one knows why the ground couldn''t bear life, it has be a mystery and a wonder of the Academy.


    Allen closes his eye slowly and felt the energy inside his body. Little by little, he drew the mana inside his body, until it reached his finger from the vein.


    *Click*<novelnext></novelnext>


    As he snapped his finger, a spark generated. But, expecting that, nothing else happened, making Allen slightly depressed.


    He again clicked his finger together, but nothing more than a tiny spark generated. He thought, that he could finally break through Tier 0.


    But his expectation again broke in the face of reality.


    "Haah. It has been three years, but I am still very weak. Is this my fate, am I going to be weak for the rest of my life!"


    Allen frowned, squeezing these words out of his mouth.


    Anger, frustration, depression all these emotions covered his heart. He could hear the ridicule of the students inside his ear. He could hear them calling him weak.


    But they were right.


    The current him could not even master a Tier 0 spell.


    Unreconciled!


    Very Unreconciled!


    [Ding! The Magical System has awakened! You can now start your journey towards bing a mage.]


    [Ding! Ding! Error ##$$&@*#&$*! An unknown bug has failed the system. Error 101 has urred!]


    [Retreating the system interface, Error, Bug 2002 has urred. Dispatching anti-bug and anti-error...]


    [Failed... System failed... Bug 2002, Error 101, has urred...]


    ....


    [Ding! All the error and bug has been fixed... Status Window Updated]


    "System?...The Magical System?"


    Allen whispered. He could hear the ringing sound reverberating inside his ear, causing him slight pain.


    Different emotions emitted from his face. Overjoy, fear, anger... But he suppressed them all.


    He was an otaku, in his previous life, so he understood the importance and function of the system.


    Soon after.


    A big translucent ck holographic window with white silver words appeared right in front of his eyes.


    [Allen Kin]


    [Strength: 10]


    [Agility: 5]


    [Stamina: 6]


    [Mana: INF]


    [Skill(s): (Spark - 1)]


    The status interface brought confusion to him rather than relief.


    What the hell! Why is my mana Inf... Wait wait... does that mean my mana is infinite?!


    Allen couldn''tprehend the meaning of INF on his mana stats. It could be infinite, or maybe the bug, that system has fixed but forget to fix the numbers? It is still early toe to a conclusion.


    Allen couldn''t hold the excitement. He was full of energy, mysterious energy has filled his body.


    He could feel the burst of energy inside his body. This only means one thing...


    "I have broken through Tier 1!!!"


    Allen literally jumped around the ground with a bright smile on his face. He couldn''t hold the happiness inside his heart.


    Soon after, the spark skill also broke through Tier 1.


    "Spark! Spark! Spark!"


    Allen consecutively cast spark without taking a break. Unlike previously, the spark generated from his palm was bigger and hotter.


    But, there was still one problem. He didn''t know if he had infinite mana like it was written on the window.


    Spark is a low-tier skill, even after casting thousand of times, Allen couldn''t feel exhausted, even though he was only Tier 0.


    But now he is Tier 1, his mana would naturally increase, so he didn''t have any basis to im that he had an unlimited amount of mana.


    There was only one thing he could do now...


    "Let''s learn more spells!"

 Chapter 2 2 || Spells - Telekinesis

    Inside the Library filled with a huge amount of books of spells, theories, and other magic-rted things, Allen flipped the pages of the book with the name ''Telekinesis''.


    Telekinesis is a space-type spell, that consumes a huge amount of mana peruse.


    The mana it consumes is so vast that even Tier 3 mage can''t manage to use this spell for more than 1 hour continuously. Simrly, only mages with Tier 8, and those mages who have a vast amount of mana from the beginning could dare to use space-type magic casually.


    [Ding! Spell - Telekinesis learned]


    [Current Level: 1 (Tiny bit of understanding)]


    Allen didn''t care about the notification a bit, he only took a nce and focused a little bit on the understanding part, but he was too fixated on the book. He wanted to raise his understanding of Telekinesis as fast as possible.


    Learning spell isn''t that hard, but controlling the mana and guiding it in a specific way is hard. As you level up, you get more used to the mana, and guiding low-level spells to form magic bes easy. But, the difficulty of guiding the high-tier magic bes hard.


    Because nobody wants to waste their time way too much on a single spell, and on a spell that consumes way too much mana, naturally not many people wanted to learn space-type magic, let alone choose them as their attribute.


    Learning the spell is one thing, but making it an attribute of there was on the next level. Why? The answer is simple, once you learn your first spell, and it ispatible with your body, it will be your attribute.


    And once you get an attribute, guiding your mana towards the same attribute type spell bes easy.  But, no one wants to waste their time making space magic their attribute, since it will only hinder their cultivation, and space-type magic isn''t that power at an early stage anyway.


    Only at Tier 5, the space magic bes way too powerful, you can say that it even bes your cheat. Teleporting bes easy, you get your own dimension, but the price of that spell is also a cheat. Only consume all of your mana to teleport once, or exhaust all of your mana to enter the dimension that is even smaller than a one-room apartment.


    Back to the topic, Allen finished reading the book, and as his eyes left the book, he saw many students staring at him. Some with pity, some with mockery, and some just bit their lips to hold theirughing.


    He could already guess what they are thinking...


    Why the trash is in the spell library?


    Since nobody knows he has broken through Tier 1, everyone naturally thinks that he is just here to pass time. Some even think that he is here just to read the expensive book that can''t be bought with money.


    With an emotionless face, Allen exited the library. His lips tremble, and he barely manages to create an emotionless face. Since...


    ''I am too excited to test the spell!''


    Allen bit his lips to stop himself fromughing at those students who were looking at him with pity and a sneering gaze.


    Soon he left the building and arrived at his good old ground filled with nothing but sand.


    "Haah! Let''s try..."


    Taking a deep breath, Allen raises his hand. He focused his mana on his palm, guiding the mana from his mana heart toward his hand through the mana vein.


    He slowly and cautiously guided the mana, so his mana couldn''t stray from its path. If even a single mistake urred, it would literally damage his mana veins, which could cause him serious damage. And worse, he couldn''t be a mage in his entire life.


    "Telekinesis!"


    With a sound loud as a roaring of a lion, Allen cast his very first Tier 1 spell.


    Allen''s white hands glowed dimly. He could feel his mana connecting with the sand grains on the ground. With his will, the sand floated.


    Floating sands started to gather creating a slightly bigger ball of sand. He fused a little bit of mana to push the sandball at great speed. His target was the tree a little bit farther from the ground.


    Bang!


    The ball of sound hit the tree. Looking at the tree, Allen''s pupils stretched. He couldn''t believe what he saw.


    A hole was formed in the middle of the tree where the sand hit. He did know it could cause some damage to the tree, but to this extent. He was simply bewildered by the damage.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Why wouldn''t he be shocked, it was his first time using the spell. Even some experienced mage takes some time to get used to the spell, and for telekinesis, some mage couldn''t even throw the stuff they carry heavily.


    So, in a point, Allen was somewhat a genius.


    Allen quickly closed his agape mouth, and gain hisposure.


    He used the telekinesis spell knowing that it could cause him to fall unconscious due to deficiency of mana. But he was slightly surprised that he didn''t feel any exhaustion, heck he was still full of energy.


    ''Did I really get infinite mana?''


    Even if the situation was simply shocking, Allen didn''t lose his temper. He thought for a while and again used the telekinesis.


    First, he again slowly gather the mana in his palm with a pattern of telekinesis and made the sand float again.


    However, this time he gather more sand. The more stuff he pulls using his skill, the more mana he will lose.


    But even after creating a boulder of the sand, Allen didn''t think he is even tired a bit. The sand floating on the ground was so huge, that its shadow covered the whole ground of 2 km.


    Looking at this scene, Allen''s mouth was open wide, his eyes widen and his lips formed a huge smile. He couldn''t hold his excitement, and so he threw the sand at the sky and stopped casting the spell.


    The sand hovering in the sky lost the energy that was keeping them together and fell on the ground like rain. Expect drops of water, grains of sand to fall on Allen''s body.


    Allen didn''t mind a bit, he even used his Telekinesis spell again to clean the sand off his body.


    "Status!"


    With an excited voice like a child who just got his favorite toy, Allen called his staus with glittering eyes.


    [Allen Kin]


    [Strength: 10]


    [Aligity: 5]


    [Stamina: 7]


    [Mana: INF]


    [Skill(s): (Spark - 1), (Telekinesis - 2)]


    "So, my stamina increased by 1. And... What is the 1 and 2 beside the spells?''


    Allen clicked on the number to get the answer for his question.


    [Spark - 1]


    [Tiny bit of Understanding - Can''t raise the skill understanding]


    [Telekiness - 2]


    [Somewhat Understanding - (Level - 2) (20 / 1000)]


    Allen''s eyes widen looking at the information in front of his eyes. His eyes frowned as his gaze fell on the Spark, can''t raise the skill understanding, but he ignore it. He wanted to learn another spell for now, since he have discovered...


    "I have a huge amount of mana!"

 Chapter 3 3 || Learning More Spell - Testing Out His Magic

    Running off with joy on his face, Allen arrived near the academy. He stopped immediately and took a deep breath, so he wouldn''t show his achievement of breaking through Tier 1 to other people.


    He just wanted to increase his strength as quickly as possible and as quietly as he could. He wanted topletely destroy other parties if they came to bully him.


    As one has said, Great Achievement attracts unnecessary attention and risk. If his achievement increases quickly, many doubts will surface among other people. At worst, they would directly attack Allen and force him to spout if he got any magical items.


    As always, his face showed a carefree expression that ignored everybody, and he again step inside the library. The library is divided into three parts - Outer area, Inner Area, and Core Area. That is only on the surface and only for disciples.


    Secret library rooms are also built secretly around the library for teachers and principals. Noone could enter there even if they want, and no one dare to take a step inside, since they wouldn''t even get to know what cut their legs before falling.


    Ignoring the gazes of students that were staring at him while he was entering the library. He searched for some low-tier battle spellbooks and took those books to the corner of the library to iste himself from other students.


    [Everything About Energy st]


    [FireBall or Pyrost?]


    [Windst SpellBook]


    Three books in hand, Allen looked like a schr more than a mage, everyone even thought that he isn''t going to learn magic. Instead of using it, he will guide others.


    Like a teacher, who himself can''t learn about every profession but guides students to their desired profession, A.K.A a magic teacher.


    He flipped the pages of the book and studied intensely. His eyes were dead focused on the book, everything around him has vanished. The background became blurry, and noise became background noise that he didn''t care about.


    Learning about the basics of each spell, it took nearly 5 hours for Allen to grasp the magic spell. It is honestly a feat, as only a genius couldprehend the magic spell in some hours. Some people even of Tier 2, may take some hours or even a day just toprehend Tier 1 magic and learn it.


    As said previously, Learning magic isn''t hard, butprehending that means learning everything about the magic pattern and using your control to guide the mana in that pattern is hard.


    Allen stood again, however this time, the sun had set. The sky dyed orange, and clouds disappeared. A figure of the moon could be seen slowly appearing in the sky and some brightest stars twinkled alone in the huge sky.


    Since the library hadn''t any light source, the brightness in the library decreased. Librarian, a middle-aged man with an average figure, who looked a little grumpy stood stretching his arms.


    He looked outside through a window and realized that it''s been a littlete. The time to close the library has arrived, so he looked here and there, searching if there are any students left or not.


    His eyes examined the library and found Allen standing.


    ''Oh, this student was reading until now!''


    He walked toward Allen hoping to converse with him, but before he could reach him, Allen rushed out of the library.


    ''D-Did he just run from me?''


    Dumbfounded, the librarian couldn''t help but look at Allen''s shadow which disappeared as he took a turn.


    ''I will talk with him next time, then.''


    He decided and also left the library. But he couldn''t chase Allen since he had to lock the library door. The library is one of the most valuable assets of the Academy. Books whose value is even greater than that of a country are safely guarded here.


    Thousands of magic formations are engraved, and after the librarian left the library, the whole magic formation activated. And even if a fly enters the library identally, not even a second would be wasted, before the fly shreds into parts.


    On the other hand, Allen ran under the bright moon. The darkness covered the whole sky, beautiful stars twinkled radiating their glow.


    Allen had a wide smile formed on his face, that made him look a bit creepy. Nevertheless, he was so happy and excited, that he lost his sense of time.


    He could keep his calm even in the most unexpected situation, but can''t hold his joy and excitement when it is something beneficial to him.


    Naturally, when he could finally increase his strength, how could he not be happy. In this cruel world, only the strong will survive.


    Reaching the ground at the back of the academy, Allen grasps his breath. Huffing and puffing, he bent down and put his hands on his knees.


    He took a deep breath and focused on the ground again.


    "Telekinesis!"


    He chanted feeling the mana and forming it into a pattern. It didn''t take more than 10 seconds for his hands to glow, forming a connection between him and his surrounding.


    He had got used to telekinesis, so he could cast it with more ease than previously. Not everyone has a huge amount of mana, heck it could be even considered infinite, but he thought he can''t jump to that conclusion.


    But if everyone could cast magic as many times they want, even an idiot would get used to casting the magic with ease. And Allen was somewhat called genius, how he wouldn''t have grasped the path of the mana.


    He raise his hands first, and particles of dust flowed. He tried separating grains of sand, but it wasn''t as easy as floating a huge amount of sand together.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He had to carefully spread the mana into the grain of sand, so it could hold the grain of sand.


    Allen sessfully grasps a grain of sand. When he was about to move it from the group, he failed and lost his overall control. The sand fell to the ground again, without producing any sound.


    "Hah! I have still a long way to go."


    Allen''s voice was full of vitality, he wasn''t depressed like earlier. He had finally found a way to change his fate.


    "Now for the other part..."


    Allen changed his position. He jumped from the ground andnded on the grass. He closed his eyes and visualize his mana path.


    Carefully, he draws the mana out through his mana vein from the mana heart. The mana flowed through the vein, and he carefully path out the mana. After two minutes, the mana reached his palm.


    "Pyrost!"


    Allen shouted. Heat generated from his palm, and the temperature increased. A small fire appeared and floated on Allen''s palm.


    He felt the connection between him and the fire. Using his mana again, but just drawing out, he controlled the fire.


    He fires out the fire on the ground, and a small explosion urred.


    Boom!


    With a sound that reverberates around the forest, the fire on the ground quickly extinguishes without leaving a trail. Since there wasn''t any fire conducting material and no material that would catch fire, the fire didn''t get to spread itself on the sand that was continuously extinguishing it.


    "Phew, seed!"


    "Next..."


    ...


    "Windst!"


    A gust of wind flowed around Allen''s palm. The windpressed together and formed a ball. He fired the ball at the tree, specifically towards the leaves area. He had already learned his lesson casting Telekinesis.


    If his power capacity exceed his imagination and was powerful enough to destroy the tree making it fall down. Allen couldn''t imagine how much hard for him to clean the mess.


    Even if he has telekinesis, it is still a tier 1. He naturally couldn''t just hold the tree. The current strength of telekinesis is just somewhat. And the tree in this forest weighs even more than ten elephants.


    Even the boulder he created using his telekinesis, didn''t exceed the weight of an elephant. And his telekinesis could only hold anything up to the weight of one elephant.


    So, he didn''t even want to think of clearing the mess he has created. And if people found out, it would only bring more trouble.


    Presently, the wind ball reached the branches of the tree at incredible speed, and st as it touched the branch.


    The wind force created from the st was strong enough for the branch to break off and fall down. A huge amount of leaves near the branches flowed into the sky due to the wind st.


    "With this much strength, I could make ordinary humans fly in the sky with just one st. At most, even an elephant would fly with this much force..."


    After that, it was the turn of the energy st to be tested.


    ...


    Wasting 3 minutes just to path out the mana, Allen targeted the ground again.


    Blue energy formed in Allen''s palm. It looked like electricity waiting to zap anything. The ball of energy got thrown on the sand at low speed. And as it touches the ground...


    Boom!


    An explosion bigger than of pyrost happened on the ground. The sand that touched the energy got thrown far away, and the force of the explosion clear the sand around 30m area.


    A small pit formed on the ground, with the sand turning dark near the pit.


    Allen''s eyes widen looking at the mess. He frowned but immediately used telekinesis to gather the sand that exited the ground due to the force of the explosion.


    He covered the ck sand with other sands. After five minutes, the ground looked the same as before like nothing has happened to it.


    "Yes! I am now capable of going to the Monster Forest!"

 Chapter 4 4 || Monster Forest - Part 1

    After One Week-


    Covered with huge mighty trees, the beast and monsters roamed freely in the forest. With the name Monster Forest, one could alreadyprehend its meaning.


    Monster Forest - A forest covered with huge dense trees. Dangerous monsters roam freely as the forest is their house. The rank of this monster on weakest is Tier 2 and the strongest is unknown.


    No one has ever discovered all of the forests. Heck, no one could even dare to say they had even covered 10% of this forest.


    Since the outeryer of this forest where Tier 2 to Tier 5 monsters roam is 1000 Km. And no one could even know how much area the inneryer cover. The monster forest is a world of its own.


    Only the outeryer of this forest exists in this world, the inneryer is apletely different world. The person who has taken a step inside this forest never dares to deny the fact that the forest has its own world.


    At the entrance of the forest, a figure stood staring at the forest with full confidence. His white silver hair moved slightly with the wind. He had a small smile formed on his face, and his eyes were full of excitement.


    The figure was of a young boy who is no one but Allen. He had a big backpack that reached up to his butt, and as he moved the bag jumped slightly. But due to its weight, it didn''t jump too much, making it easier for Allen to walk.


    Sweat formed on his face. He swiped his head with his hand and entered the forest.


    Allen was not a fool, he hade here with preparation. While spitting some blood, he exhausted his saving and bought 2 healing pills. He didn''t buy a mana pill, he had a little bit of confidence in his mana.


    He also took a knife and some monster-cutting weapons to take out cores and skin, and other useful things to sell after killing it.


    Because killing monsters gives a huge amount of money, since their value is so much in the market. Many hunters of the different ssese here regrly to kill monsters hoping not to meet dangerous monsters that sometimes leave the inner area of the forest and stumble upon the outeryer.


    "Whew! Finally reached the monster forest."


    Allen smiled brightly while breathing heavily. It was his dream to explore the monster forest since one could gain some blessing here if they are lucky.


    Even if not for blessing, they could huge amount of money if they just find rare and valuable minerals or nts.


    Allen walked inside the forest. Just as he stepped inside, he raised his guard immediately. He attentively listen to the forest, concentrate on the road, and was prepared to cast the spell immediately if he encounter any monster.


    Since he practiced magic spells for one week straight, he found out that his mana was never-ending.


    Even after casting spells for 12 hours straight, he didn''t feel a slight bit tired. Because of that, he didn''t even need to form a mana pattern. His mana has already gotten used to the mana pattern of those spells he has learned.


    Now, it will only take 1 second for him to cast a spell. Not all mages could achieve this amazing feat.


    Allen walked while looking here and there. he examined his surroundings and observed the environment.


    Everywhere his vision went, he could only see trees that are so tall that he have toy on the grass and then look up to see the end of the tree.


    The smallest tree in this forest would be 250m, while the tallest even crossed 3000m.


    "!"


    Suddenly, Allen halted his step and took a stance. He was ready to cast his spell anytime.


    He heard the steps of something, graduallying closer to him. From the reverberation, Allen could only guess that there are 2 or 3 monstersing at him.


    Swish!


    The bushes moved and produced a swishing sound. Three figures jumped from the bush andnded near Allen.


    With the appearance of a tiger, the monsters stare at Allen.


    Sharp ws that could cut stone as butter reflected, their ck fur made them look evil. And their size, 2 times bigger than of an average tiger shocked Allen.


    He felt afraid, but he quickly strengthened himself.


    The dark auraing from the monster''s body was enough for Allen to deduce that they were Tier 2 monsters.


    "Roar!"


    The biggest Tiger monster, which was slightly bigger than the two beside him, roared happily. In its eyes, Allen was prey and his flesh was their food.


    Tigeon, the name of the monster that walked toward Allen.


    "Energy st!"


    Without waiting for the attack of the Tigeon, Allen quickly cast an energy st. A blue ball condensed energy fired at the Tigeon.


    Those Tigeons saw that. They were not fools. They had a little bit of intelligence, generally more than normal animals.


    They quickly jumped and scatter into three ces.


    Boom!


    The area the energy st exploded turned ck and a small pit formed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Tigeons eyes widen. They let out a small roar and jumped at Allen.


    "Telekinesis!"


    "Windst!"


    He immediately cast two spells. It took full two seconds for the ball of wind to float around Allen and three seconds to form a connection with the surrounding.


    Whoosh!


    The gust of air sted in front of the Tigeon that jumped at Allen. The force of air flew away from the Tigeon and hit the tree.


    On the other hand, the two Tigeon that also jumped at Allen from two directions stopped midway. They literally floated in the air due to the telekinesis.


    Click!


    Allen snapped his fingers. And as he did that, the two Tigen flew backward, and at a high speed, they crashed into two trees respectively.


    "Grr!!"


    Three Tigeons scowled. While trembling they stood. They figured out their strength Allen, so they didn''t attack carelessly. They were waiting for a chance to escape if they could, or wait for other monsters to show up.


    But they didn''t have that much luck. Allen stare at Tigeons with a merciless smile, that made the tigeons shiver.


    Whine!


    They whined and shrank.


    "Pyrost!"


    With a ball of fire bigger than the size of the palm, Allen tossed the fireball at one Tigeon.


    "ROAR!!"


    It roared painfully, the echo of its painful sound reached the depth of the forest.


    Boom!


    Just after some seconds, the Tigeon exploded into pieces. But fortunately, its core didn''t get that damage andnded on the ground in one piece.


    Looking at the core, Allen sighed a breath of relief. He didn''t expect that the body of the monster will explode this easily.


    But he did suffer a bit of loss, since the skin, flesh, and meat of the Tigeon are famous and could be sold for some money.


    "Hehe..."


    Allen with a creepy smile stares at the remaining Tigeon who trembled at the sight of Allen. They were quivering.


    They looked pitiful and miserable. Their fate was already sealed the moment they encounter Allen.


    "Energy st!"


    "Wind st!"


    With two spells firing at Tigeons, it was determined that those two pitiful monsters died at the hands of Allen.


    Well, it wasn''t a huge deal. News of humans killing monsters and monsters killing humans was somon that nobody even paid any attention to it.


    Allen scavenges useful things from the body of two Tigeon. They both died quickly, and no roar of pain echoed in the forest.


    But the previous roar had attracted some unneeded attention, but Allen didn''t care. As long as there weren''t any Tier 4 monsters, he was confident enough that serving here wouldn''t be that hard.


    After two minutes, Allen''s backpack gobbled down 4 kg of meat of Tigeon, its flesh, and skin. Also, three cores were put in the backpack quite carefully.


    !!!!


    Allen felt the aura of monstersing toward him. He could even hear the steps. 5... no 8 Tier 2 monsters and 2 Tier 3 monsters reached near Allen.


    Allen gulped down... His pupils expanded at the sight of those monsters. However, he wasn''t scared.


    Instead, the feeling of excitement surrounded his heart.


    With monsters surrounding Allen, the scene looked like the battle of the movie where the hero is surrounded by the viins.


    And the battle began!

 Chapter 5 5 || Monster Forest - Part 2

    Bang! Boom! Swish!


    With every sound, each monster fell spouting blood from its mouth.


    Telekinesis, Windst, and Energy st knocked down the enemy in one hit. But it wasn''t enough to kill them.


    Unlike viins who generallye one by one to hunt heroes, these monsters jumped at the same time. However, Allen didn''t panic, instead, he cast the spell without wasting a second.


    Different lights covered his palm, many branches have broken, and the ground is filled with the leaves that were blown by the windst.


    8 Tier 2 monsters who were full of confidence and were sure to take down the enemy stood staggeringly. Their pupils expanded, and they raised their eyebrows looking at the two Tier 3 monsters.


    Tier 3 monsters are more intelligent than Tier 2, so they didn''t attack Allen recklessly. They observed the fight and determined that this person is strong.


    "Pyrost!"


    Unlike his previous attack who only injured them, Allen cast his strongest spell. One ball of fire floated, again, another ball floated.


    As the number of fireballs increased, the fear of the monster also increase.


    The two-tier 3 couldn''t just watch the show. They immediately attack as they don''t want to give Allen time to cast more fireballs.


    They showed a glimpse of fear on their face. Their body looked like a lion that was covered in golden fur. Their body slightly bigger than that of Tigeon, their ws and fangs sharper, and their strength mightier.


    They looked more terrifying together. If it was a normal Tier 1 mage, no not even Tier 2 mage could keep its cool just fighting one of these monsters. Let alone 2, they will just run with tails between their legs. Only Tier 3 mage will have enough confidence to take down two of these monsters with ease.


    Lijion is the name of the monster that jumped at Allen. They raised their ws to cut Allen into pieces.


    However...


    Boom!


    Balls of fire appeared in front of their face, hitting them. As they touched their faces, it exploded. And it impacts threw them 10m away, hitting one of the trees.


    Tier 2 monsters, Tigeon looked at the scene with horror. Their body trembled. The figure of Allen that looked prey in their eyes changed into a mighty being.


    They felt they will die if they even approach him.


    Lijions stood, however unlike Tigeon, their defense is much stronger. And their fur is so soft, that decreased the pain on impact.


    So they only staggered a bit and red at Allen like he was their natural enemy.


    "Grr!!"


    They gritted their teeth and were about to roar to attract other monsters.


    Boom!


    Fireball hit their mouth to shut them up. Their mouth burnt a little, and their flesh turned ck. The smell of barbecue drifted in the air.


    "Grr!!"


    Their anger increased. They gritted their teeth and were about to attack again. Theypletely lost their sense, and only rage remained.


    If not, then they were intelligent enough to know the gap in strength. They would have run instead of pursuing their anger.


    But, their sense of superiority and painpletely turned them into barbarous.


    ? "Heh!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    Allen showed a dark smile. And again ball of fire hit the Lijions. Tigeons who were like an audience watching the battle couldn''t help but shudder.


    They were wondering how much mana did this guy have. It''s not that they had not encountered humans.


    Heck, they had killed quite of them and had enough knowledge about mana. For them, it was a mysterious energy that was unknown to them. Only some Tier 3 monsters could possess mana.


    They knew that a person had a limited amount of mana, and they were waiting for Allen''s mana to finish. But his mana seems to be boundless. They waited, but couldn''t see any exhaustion in Allen,


    Suddenly, their hair stood. As they saw, Allen, looking at them with a gentle smile. A smile that looked so gentle that it was terrifying.


    Little farther than Allen, Two Lijiions corpsesid. They had no heads on their body. Their head sted and burnt to ash that flew in the air.


    They instantly stood and ran. They didn''t even wait a single second, but...


    They couldn''t move...


    Two fireballs had exploded on their legs, making them immobilize. They fell to the ground defenseless.


    The number of fireballs near Allen exceed twenty, and it was still increasing.


    With that, the sound of an explosion echoed in the forest.


    Monsters, they couldn''t even scream. Their head just exploded, and not of one or two. But all 8 Tier 2 monsters'' head was missing.


    It seems a Missing Poster should be issued. ''I have lost my head, please someone find it and return at XXX-XXX. My head has two eyes, two ears, a nose, and... umm. skin! Some fur and hair should be there too if they hadn''t burnt to ashes...''


    Yes, these lines should be added too.


    Allen... had a huge harvest of 8 tier 2 core and 2 tier 3 core.


    "With this many cores, I could get at least 1000 gold coins. And with these meat, flesh, and skin, hmm... 8000 should be crossed."


    Allen calcted. He imagined being surrounded by cash. His heart thumped heavily just imagining the cash in hand.


    Since his parents weren''t that rich, and he didn''t get much pocket money, he was poor. He couldn''t even afford to buy armor, that every student in the mage academy had.


    Since the cost of the lowest armor exceeds 500 gold coins. And being poor, he couldn''t afford it.


    "Money, money!"


    Allen hummed while collecting the materials.


    Suddenly, his hair stood. Goosebumps appeared on his skin, and his sense tingled.


    He turned his head.


    Suddenly, his eyes widen. He raised his eyebrow and bit his lips. His hands shook.


    A monster, the size of an elephant. It had huge hands and feet,pletely looked like a bear. Its skin looked thick.


    The monster red at Allen. Allen''s face turned pale, color faded from his skin. He felt a huge pressure like two elephants were sitting on his head.


    With just a nce, Allen recognized the strength of that monster.


    Tier 3, Mana user, Gorilo!

 Chapter 6 6 || Monster Forest - Part 3

    Gar!


    The Gorilo emitted out its aura that suppressed Allen.


    Allen bit his lips and controlled his shaking hands.


    He was like an ant in front of the Gorilo.


    How could he not be? He is only Tier 1, even if he had defeated Tier 3 monsters, they were the weakest ones and they didn''t have any mana.


    And his magic is only Tier 1. If he couldn''t cast them repeatedly, he would have already died.


    Tier is not something casual, a Tier 1 mana has lower quality than Tier 2. As the tier increases, the quality of mana also increases.


    That goes for skill/spells too. Tier 2 spell couldn''t be cast by Tier 1 mage, since their mana is not as pure as Tier 2.


    Meaning, that Tier 2 mana has the quality to cast Tier 2 spells. Since the purer mana a mage has, the more powerful and destructive their spells are.


    Looking at the monster, Allen''s mind rushed at an incredible speed. He thought of different ns to escape from the Gorilo.


    Thud! Thud!


    As the Grolio rush at Allen, the ground shook. Even with its huge weight, the speed of Gorilo wasn''t slow.


    Allen tried to run with his trembling legs. Using telekinesis on himself, he floated in the sky. He wasn''t that proficient in flying, and controlling himself with his own spell was difficult.


    But in the face of death, Allen used all of his will and fought with the pressure.


    Telekinesis can be used to fly in the sky since one could control themself with the spell. But it takes 2 times the mana that is used on carrying other stuff.


    That''s why it is not a very practical thing to do. Not only that, controlling oneself with their own spell is hard. It''s like trying not to fall off a building while only using your pinkies


    But, with practice, one could get good at it. The only problem is the mana which is not a problem to Allen.


    Staggering in the sky, barely managing his bnce, Allen escaped the Gorilo.


    "ROAR!!"


    The Gorilo cried angrily.


    But Allen didn''t even look back. His backpack on his back was giving him more weight. So, he had tond or else he will fall to the ground.


    "Hah! Hah!"


    Huffing and puffing, Allen breathed heavily. His expression was full of fear and despair. This was his first time experiencing pressure, and the motion sickness of flying in the sky also affect him.


    "Arg!!"


    Puke!


    He threw everything he had eaten. He quickly took a healing pill that didn''t fix his exhaustion but made him feel a little good.


    "I bearly escaped death. It... was so terrifying..."


    Allen''s face showedplex emotion. He was scared, he was happy, and he was also excited. If there was any other mage beside him, then they would have been traumatized. But, Allen not only subdued his fear, but his will to fight the powerful monster also increased.


    Next time, he wanted to explore Monster Forest after reaching Tier 2.


    He will fill the gap in Tier with his unlimited mana.


    He has already epted the fact that he has infinite mana.


    After that, he quietly returned to the academy. He spent only 3 hours in the Monster Forest and made a fortune.


    ''I should go to the ck market to sell these.''<novelnext></novelnext>


    Allen thought and reached his dorm which is beside the academy building.


    Since the academy makes a fortune every day, its building is long and huge. The dorm alone has 50,000 rooms, and all students and teacher living in the dorm have their own personal rooms.


    That''s how rich, the academy is.


    "Haah! Home sweet home"


    Plop!


    Allen jumped on the bed and snuggled. He slept leisurely.


    *****************************


    After sleeping like a pig, Allen finished his everyday chores from cleaning himself to cleaning his room.


    He ignored every other student that was staring at him. They weren''t ridiculing him this time, but they also weren''t praising him.


    There was a rumor of him going into the library and reading expensive books for free. Well, it wasn''t a huge deal as every other student does that, but Allen was a Tier 0, and it wasn''t natural for Tier 0 to study other spells.


    If you can''t even master your own spell, what is the use of looking at the advanced spell that is impossible to learn at your current state?


    So, they were just thinking of asking him, but they were reluctant.


    Allen left the dorm and walked on the bustling street.


    People wearing normal attire were walking on the side of the road, while people wearing robes, armor, and other profession-rted outfit walked in the middle of the road.


    Since there was no vehicle invented in this ancient period, it was rare for horse carts to drive inside the city.


    Allen observed his surrounding. Grumpy men, Beautiful women, ying children, cute girls, Bully-looking boys, and middle-aged men and women, all walked silently. Nobody was conversing with each other, the reason, no one knew.


    It just, this environment was peaceful to them, so they decided not to speak.


    Houses built with bricks and wood stood side of the road. The design was perfect, with houses on the sides, and the road in the middle.


    After walking for some minutes, Allen reached a more bustling ce. However, this time, the ce was filled with noise.


    "Who wants heaven-defying beauty?! Just use our beauty product - Princess Cream, and get smooth and beautiful skin that will attract any man! Use one time, and I dare to say, you won''tin!"


    "Comee! Check our fresh vegetables. They are freshly harvested from the field! Cheaper in amount!"


    "Treasure ce! We have different types of treasure in our ce. Come and check it!"


    "Who wants a pill?! Healing pill, Mana pill, Stamina pill, Di*k ergement pill, Nightsting bed pill-"


    Allen quickly passed by this bustling normal market.


    This wasn''t his destination.


    After taking some turns, he entered an alley. And quite to the surprise, the alley wasn''t narrow. The alley was huge. This was the ce that was deliberately built in between those two houses.


    If one didn''t know about this market, then it was rare for normal people to stumble here.


    Unlike the previous market, where people were advertising their store, the shopkeeper here were all quiet. The atmosphere itself was quiet.


    Except for dealing, no one dares to make noise.


    Allen smirked and walked toward the shop-


    All-Buying Treasure House

 Chapter 7 7 || Black Market - Selling Cores

    A middle-aged man wearing a good-looking robe sat on a chair with an emotionless face.


    Inside his shop, various items, equipment, potion, pills, books, etc were disyed on the different shells.


    Despite having this many things on disy, only flies were roaming around him. With an irritated face, he drove away those flies and waited for customers.


    ck market and morning, of course, no one will dally carelessly. Despite the ck market operating 24 hours, only a minority of peoplee here.


    Why? A ck market is an illegal ce, of course, the big house wouldn''t want to have anything to do with them, even if everyone knows about it. They still had to keep face.


    And the majority of good stuff is sold at night, and only useless or low-tier things are sold in the morning. Naturally, it is more active at night. There are more reasons, but there is no need to exin every one of them.


    "Excuse me."


    A soft polite voice reverberated inside the shop.


    The nearly sleeping shopkeeper widen his eyes and showed a bright merchant smile. A smile indicating to consume every money out of people.


    "Yes, my dear customer. How can I help you?"


    With polite words, the shopkeeper approached Allen. Allen looked quite surprised since this is the first time he came to the ck market.


    He had only heard about it from others and knows about the way, but he had never done any business here.


    The shopkeeper examined Allen from top to bottom.


    ''From his outfit, he seemed to be a mage.''


    He thought putting his hand on his chin and again looking at Allen with another ttery smile.


    "Distinguished customer, you seem to be a mage. Are you here for pills, potions, or spellbooks? Should I show them to you?"


    His words were humble.


    Allen who was a little surprised raised his eyebrow, and with an indifferent face, he said. "Yes, I am here for some potions and pills. But, I am also here to sell monster cores."


    "Oh!"


    The shopkeeper''s eyes stretched.


    "Can you please show me the cores?"


    "Yes."


    Allen put his backpack, which he was carrying the entire time, down. He opened the zipper and took out 10 Tier 2 cores and 2 Tier 3 cores.


    Just as he showed those cores to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper''s eyes widen. His respect for the unknown mage increased a little.


    And when he held the core and checked it, all the cores were in perfect condition.


    Since he was a mortal, he naturally couldn''t know the tier of Allen. But he did know, that Allen was powerful.


    Not everyone could hunt Tier 3 monsters easily. Except for powerful magicians or other powerful professionals.


    Mage is the most respected profession in this world. There are many reasons but those are for another day.


    "How much?"


    Allen asked straightforwardly.


    "These cores are of good quality, so for one Tier 2 core, 1200 gold coins, and for Tier 3, 1500 gold coins is all I could offer."


    The shopkeeper''s words stunned Allen. But he quickly regained his sense.


    "Ok, I ept the deal."


    Allen knew the market price of cores, he had studied them carefully, so no one could scam him. He thought at most his Tier 2 core will sell for 1000 gold coins and Tier 3 for 1300


    Whatever the era is, money is the greatest.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Allen''s hands trembled, as he received 15,000 gold coins. In his entire life, he had never seen this much money.


    He immediately regained his cool.


    ''If I get shocked just for this much money, how will I handle myself in the future.''


    Allen thought, his future is bright. Very very bright.


    After getting money, Allen bought some healing pills for future use, and two mana strengthening pills.


    Healing pills cost 200 gold coins per pill. Not for bottle, for a single pill, and mana strengthening pill was worse. It cost 500 for a single pill.


    Even if the healing pill is a low tier, it can heal small injuries at an incredible speed that one could even see the recovery with their naked eyes.


    and mana strengthening pill is a great thing for a mage. Mana strengthening pill, as its name suggests strengthens mana. And raise their chance to break through Tier 2.


    However to break through Tier 2, one needs quite a lot of mana in their body. One could increase their mana by cultivating. Cultivating means medicating and also through practicing spells.


    But for Allen, his mana wasn''t a problem. The problem was the strength of mana. Mana will strengthen as long as one practice and medicate.


    Allen had practiced spells for many days continuously, but despite that, he hadn''t advanced. So, he thought of using this pill to break through Tier 2, learn more powerful spells, and upgrade the learned ones.


    "That will be 20,000$."


    "H-Here."


    His heartache as he reluctantly gave 2000 gold coins to the shopkeeper.


    Showing a painful smile, Allen said farewell to the shopkeeper and returned to his dorm.


    "Haah, I should get used to spending big amounts of money."


    Allen sighed.


    He entered his room. Without wasting a single second, he ate one of the mana-strengthing pills.


    Just as he crushed the pill with his teeth, a huge amount of pure mana invade his body. His body filled with energy glowed.


    He could feel his mana bing pure, and after 1 minute, half of the mana became pure. Impure mana in the form of sweat excreted from his skin, and a bad smell filled the room.


    Allen opened his eyes, wiping his head.


    He hadn''t broken through. So, he took another pill.


    Again, his body glowed.


    Boom!


    His mana exploded. And pure powerful mana filled his body.


    "Yeah!"


    Allen pumped his fist in the air and smiled joyously. He had broken through Tier 2. Until one week ago, breaking through Tier 1 looked like a dream.


    Now, he has not only broken through tier 1, but he took a step into Tier 2.


    His excitement and happiness skyrocketed.


    However, he returned back to reality.


    "Eww!"


    He pinched his nose and showed a disgusted expression. A bad odor that smell like rotten eggs were emitting from his body.


    He rushed through his room and ran toward the bathroom.


    Students that were in the hallway pinched their noses and red at the running figure. They scolded him in their heart and returned back to their business.

 Chapter 8 8 || Again In Monster Forest - Part 1 Preparation

    Another week has passed -


    [Tier 2 - Base Magic Understanding]


    [How to upgrade your Tier 1 magic to Tier 2?]


    [Shadow Art]


    [Control the water]


    [Killing Ray]


    Allen flipped the pages of the book one by one, reading intensely into the new chapters.


    It''s been one week, since the start of his little book reading session.


    He read for 1 hour, practiced for 5 hours, again study for 1 hour, and again practice for 5 hours and after that, finishes his other work.


    In one word, he has be a mage geek. Aplete magic addict.


    How could he not be an addict? He has suffered for 2 years. And his desire to use magician, and with unlimited mana, he couldn''t help but use magic. If he could, he would have practiced spell for 24 hours.


    But since he is a mortal, he has to eat food, drink water, go to the toilet and do human activities.


    In normal people''s eyes, he has surpassed the mortal realm, but in terms of the magician, he is only a mortal. Those who have surpassed Tier 5 will be called a true magician.


    Since mana would be enough energy for them, they don''t need to sleep or eat as long as they have mana.


    "Hmm~"


    He stood up and stretched his legs, hands, and back.


    He had finally finished reading all the books, he borrowed from the library. The librarian was missing, while he was browsing books. There was another librarian who registered the book and Allen''s name on magic paper.


    So, the previous middle-aged librarian who wanted to talk to Allen, couldn''t talk with him.


    Naturally, Allen didn''t know about this, and he returned back to his room and started reading.


    After reading for a whole week, he had processed studying every book, he borrowed. And also practice every move.


    Upgrading Tier 1 magic to Tier 2 took some hard work, but after taking 25 hours, he finally seed.


    "Time to go to Monster Forest again."


    Allen pumped his fist. With determined eyes, he packed his stuff into his backpack, and head out.


    However, unlikest time, where he had to walk all the way here and used most of his stamina. He flew in the sky.


    Using telekiness, it was pretty tricky to control himself, but while staggering, he reached the monster forest, which would have normally taken 6 hours to arrive. But with his flying speed, he arrived here in only 30 minutes.


    Flying is really time-saving and efficient.


    Before marching inside, Allen decided to take a look at his status. It has been two weeks since hest saw his status. Even it was not really useful, it wouldn''t hurt to take a glimpse.


    [Allen Kin]


    [Strength: 11]


    [Agility: 6]


    [Stamina: 8]


    [Mana: INF]


    [ Skill(s): (Spark - 1), [Telekinesis - 3 (+)], [Energy st- 2 (+)], [Pyrost - 2 (+)], [Windst - 2 (+)], (Efficent Mana Control - 1), (Shadow Art -1), (Killing Ray - 1) ]


    "Huh?"


    Allen stares at the plus button.


    ''Weird... Why is there a plus sign here?''


    He looked at his recently learned Tier 2 spells, but there wasn''t a plus sign. So, it isn''t rted to tier.


    Allen didn''t stare at the plus button, before his confusion increased, he clicked on the plus button.


    [Telekinesis]


    [Average Understanding - (Level 3) (100 / 2500)]


    [ (Skill Point - 0)


    (Strength: 5 (Can carry up to 50 tons of weight)


    (Mana Consumption: 50 (Consume 1000 mana peruse, and continuously drain 500 mana/s)


    (Mana Understanding: 2 (Average Understanding) ]


    [More Feature locked]


    He looked at the list of words. Instead of relief, more confusion was brought up to him.


    Skill Point? Strength? Mana Consumption? More features? What the hell is this?


    He screamed inside his heart, but no matter how much he think no answer came to him.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "System... What is this skill point?"


    Since he didn''t know about skill points, he thought he should ask the system directly. Even though he didn''t know if the system could respond or not, since he hasn''t talked to the system. He felt a little weird.


    [Ding! Skill Points are points to upgrade a specific function of one skill. The host is a transmigrator, so you should know about it.]


    System talked in a monotonous tone without stopping.


    "How will I increase this point?"


    Allen ignored the system statement about transmigration and straightly asked the point.


    [...]


    "Huh...?"


    The system silence brought little confusion to him.


    [System can''t answer this]


    After a moment, words of rejection spout out from the system.


    "Why?"


    Allen raised his brow and asked with a slightly serious tone.


    [Host doesn''t have enough authority. The system version is lower, and the skill point appeared due to a bug. The bug is critical and can''t be removed. So, the host has to bear it for now.]


    Allen stares at the blue translucent screen that became transparent and disappeared in the thin air.


    He was left... dumbfounded.


    But suppressing curiosity, Allen shook his head and walked inside the monster forest without a bit of hesitation.


    Just as he had stepped inside, a big fat boar emitting a slight demonic aura appeared before him.


    Allen didn''t even nce at it. It was a tier 1 monster, The Small Boar.


    Despite, being huge and fat, it got the name small, which indicated its strength. Even Tier 1 rookie could defeat it with some hard work.


    Since, the small boar has low defense, low offense, low speed, and only its strength might be a little above average.


    Allen who didn''t even bat an eye at the boar clicked his fingers. A force came out from this snap and pushed boar. The boar who didn''t know what happened flew and hit the tree.


    It died instantly, without knowing what happened.


    Little crack appeared on the tree, but surprisingly it recovered itself at an incredible speed, a speed that even his eyes didn''t notice. The tree recovered its crack in less than 1 second!


    Allen only nced at the tree and left. He didn''t need to care about that.


    Boom! Bang!


    Boom! Swoosh!


    As monsters appeared before him, he killed them with his spells. Pyrost burnt the monster to death, energy st made the monster body explode, windst pushed the monster in an incredible speed, breaking their everyone bone on impact with thend.


    He didn''t use histest Tier 2 magic, since the monster was too weak.


    Only Tier 2 monsters, he encountered.


    And as for its dismantlement, he used telekinesis to cut separate different body parts of the monster, heck, he even skinned their flesh with telekinesis.


    As his mastery of telekinesis increased, the more effectively he could control surrounding objects. He couldn''t dare to think how much mana would have taken just to break down one monster.


    He became bored to the point, where he just yed with Tier 1 monster.


    He exploded the head of the Tier 1 monster with his Telekinesis.


    Telekinesis, his favorite spell used frequently for some hours.


    "Roar!"


    "GAR!"


    "GRR!"


    Sounds of different monsters echoed inside the forest, attracting attention of Allen. He quickly rushed to that area.


    As he reached the area, his eyes widen.


    Five young people were surrounded by monsters.


    They were injured, some were bleeding, some faces were pale, and everyone trembled at the sight of the monster.


    Three corpses of monstersy on the ground.


    Allen didn''t care about the students, as he figured out the strongest there was Tier 2.


    Instead, he looked at the monsters. The strongest monster there was Tier 3, and even a mana user.


    He licked his lips, and smiled evily.


    I will take my revenge!

 Chapter 9 9 || Again In Monster Forest - Part 2 \ Fighting Tier 3 Monster

    "Where did it go wrong!"


    A young man wearing an extravagant robe with a badge that has one small bronze star in it shouted.


    "It''s because of you Ken! If you didn''t kill that Tier 2 monster, and just run, we wouldn''t be in this mess!"


    A girl whose face was solemn, and like the previousd, she was wearing a beautiful robe with one small bronze star, pointed the finger at thed who just shouted. She yelled at him and put all me on him.


    "Yeah, just because of him, we are in this mess!"


    Another vigorous young man agreed with that girl.


    "Grr!"


    Ken, the youngd gritted his teeth but didn''t retort, since they were all right.


    "Let''s not fight with each other. We have to deal with these monsters."


    A calm girl wearing a pink robe said with a calm face. Even though her face was calm, one could see her legs trembling. She tried her best to remain calm, but her heart was beating heavily, and she was scared.


    "Hya!"


    A young girl wearing a blue robe without any emotion on her face raised her right hand and shouted.


    A medium-sized fireball appeared and shoot at the monster.


    Boom!


    With some sound, the fireball exploded, but except for some burnt, the Tier 2 monster didn''t get any damage.


    "Shit!"


    She cursed.


    They were forming a circle, and the monster wasing close to them. Like cornered prey, the students couldn''t do anything.


    "Damn! I will get their attention, you all escape!"


    Ken shouted, raising his hand and preparing to attack the monsters.


    "Don''t talk nonsense, how could we leave you!"


    The beautiful robe-wearing girl said taking a deep breath.


    "I was the one who created this mess anyway. What''s wrong with sacrificing myself? At least, I will correct my mistake."


    He said bearing fear in his heart. Even with his shaking hands and trembling legs, he didn''t let go of his courage.


    The vigorous man p his back of Ken and smiled at him.


    "What the shit are you spouting out?! Even if you were the cause, we were all in. We just.. wanted to take our anger."


    The vigorous man''s eyes showed little guilt, but he tried his best not to lose confidence.


    "What are you all discussing?! We will be killed if you became busy chatting with each other."


    The emotionless girl said with a calm tone. Her beautiful face didn''t contain any emotion, but her body was trembling slightly.


    "You guys..."


    Ken had teary eyes, like a kid who just gotforted by his parents despite knowing he made a mistake."


    The friendship of these guys was heartwarming. They were ready to sacrifice themselves to save others.


    Allen looked at these young people with a twitching face. He didn''t know how to feel about their friendship.


    But he sighed, he didn''t have any friends like them, not in this world and not even in the previous one.


    They are all lucky to have each other.


    He thought, as he push his hand ahead and shoot five fireballs repeatedly. These fireballs wererge, at least the size of a normal human head.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    ""!!""


    Their eyes expanded, and their heart beat in excitement.


    Did someonee to save us?


    They felt hope in their eyes.


    Fireballs rain down on the monsters like a meteoroid. Just as the ball dropped on the ground, an explosion urred, sting many monsters away.


    They all flew away with their flesh burnt andnded 10 m away. The Tier 1 monsters were instantly killed and Tier 2 were seriously injured.


    The injured monstery on the ground. They didn''t dare to stand.


    At least half of the monsters surrounding the students were wiped out.


    Looking at this scene, the remaining monster trembled and ran away. But their fate didn''t support them, and another batch of fireballs fall on them, killing them directly.


    ? "This!"


    The students were silent, looking at the battle. They were amazed. They couldn''t help but rx, seeing monsters losing.


    The Tier 3 monster was the only one remaining. Of course, he wasn''t scared at all. For him, the weaker monsters weren''t worth his time.


    He was just waiting for the man/woman, toe out and fight him. He was the strongest monster here.<novelnext></novelnext>


    With a size of an elephant, Gorilo walked over to the students.


    Allen wasn''t nning on saving them, but they were on the way, so he couldn''t help but help them.


    Since he had to run away the previous time from the Gorilo, he felt excited. His battle intent made him smile.


    Strong opponent = interesting battle.


    Without waiting for a second, he jumped down using his telekinesis to float himself andnd softly.


    His silver hair flutters softly, and his purple eyes stare at the monster in front of him. His white face twitched, and his lips curved from a smile.


    Raising his hand, tens of fireballs appeared in front of him. Like a bullet, they fired at the Gorilo at an incredible speed, piercing the air.


    "Roar!!"


    Gorilo roared, beating his chest with his hand. The fireball hit his chest and exploded. But except for smoke rising in the air, nothing else happened.


    "Oh..."


    Allen raised his eyebrow.


    Swoosh!


    Gorilo rushed at Allen with great speed. Even with his huge size, and heavy body, his speed wasn''t inferior to the cheetah.


    Allen didn''t panic. He knew this wouldn''t work.


    He again raised his hand and used telekinesis to hold the monster.


    "!"


    Gorilo face twitched. With an angry expression, he exerted more strengthpletely breaking the force that held him.


    But as he was about to move forward, A ray of light appeared near his eyes.


    "GARR!"


    His scream echoed inside the forest. Blood dripped through his eyes, and he put his hands on his left eye, which is nowpletely shattered.


    He is now one sighted blind.


    However, rays of red light hit the Gorilo. It didn''t pierce his body but gave him more pain.


    Suddenly, Gorilo became calm and closed his eyes.


    "Watch out, he is going to use magic!"


    The emotionless girl that was staring at the battle with the other guys, warned Allen. But, Allen stare at her and gave her a thumbs up. Afterward, hepletely ignored her and patiently wait for the monster to use magic.


    Seeing that thumbs up and don''t disturb me smile, the emotionless girl could only frown and shut her mouth.


    Other students beside her only gave a dryugh.


    Swish!


    Blue energy covered the body of Gorilo, and his speed increased drastically. He moved toward Allen and raise his fist.


    But, a ball of wind, fire, and energy came to his face, pushing him back.


    Dark energy covered Allen''s body, showing a mocking smile, he disappeared.


    Gorilo and other students stare at the area where Allen was dumbfounded.


    ROAR!


    Again, another roar escaped the mouth of Gorilo, who felt like he was insulted.


    But, much to luck, Allen appeared beside him.


    !!


    Gorilo froze. He wanted to turn his head, but he couldn''t. He felt like a person whose head was being pointed at by a gun.


    Make a move, and your head will st.


    But he didn''t have to wait long, tens of fireballs hit his head. And,pletely shattered it.


    His head turned to ash, and his headless body dropped to the ground, lifeless.


    "Wow..."


    "He... is so powerful."


    "OMG"


    "My God"


    Young students'' mouths were hanging open. Their eyes were wide. They were all amazed, this scene had been imprinted into their brain. And they will remember this battle forever.


    [Ding! You have used Telekinesis and Pyrost the most. You can now choose one of these as your attribute magic.]


    [Choose: (Space) / (Fire)]


    A blue holographic screen floated in front of Allen. Allen''s lips twitched.


    Attirbute!

 Chapter 10 10 || Steal Her

    (Space)


    [Are you sure, you want this to be your attribute. (Warning: Once chosen, can''t be reversed. The attribute couldn''t be changed for the rest of your life,)]


    A message floated in front of Allen''s eyes, but he ignored it.


    "Yes"


    He answered in a low voice.


    [Ding! Congrattion on choosing ''Space'' as your attribute magic. Space magic will be controlled more efficiently and will take less time to cast.]


    After seeing the notification, Allen turned and looked at the group of students.


    "Hey, guys... Are you all alright?"


    He asked in a calm tone.


    "Yes. Thanks for your help."


    Ken said lowering his eyes. He couldn''t help but look down when faced with him. After seeing the battle, he already realizes that this guy is strong.


    So, he didn''t dare do anything to offend him.


    On the other hand, the emotionless girl who seemed to be the leader of the group walked forward and bowed her head.


    "Thanks for helping us... Senior."


    Her voice was cold.


    She wasn''t afraid of him, despite being weaker. Why?


    Because she is the daughter of the Bin family. But, why is she with these people with no background?


    Allen widens his eye. He didn''t speak. He was in a daze. The figure of the emotionless girl was unparalleled. She had a beautiful face. Her snow-white skin reflected under the sun which made her attractive. Her jade blue eyes that seems cold as ice just added the charm. And her cold expression... just made her look like a precious jewel.


    But Allen wasn''t attracted to her beauty. He didn''t even look at her. He was in a trance for a totally different reason.


    And the reason was the window that appeared in front of his eye. (A/N: This will be long.)

    ...


    Is this system messing with me?


    Allen fell into a daze looking at the huge window. He was simply angry, but as he saw the reward he gulped down his rage.


    Why? The reward is huge.


    Even if the system is using him to get entertainment, what is wrong with that? As long as he gets the reward and gets to increase his strength, win-win situation.


    Looking at the girl in front of him, he did think that this girl is beautiful. But expect of that nothing else came to his heart.


    He didn''t have any feelings toward her? Not even the slightest bit of affection.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "H-Hello?"


    The calm girl called out to Allen, as she couldn''t bear the dead silence in the quiet forest. It was eerie as hell.


    "Huh?"


    Allen returned from his daze and looked at the students again.


    "Ahem! Anyway, let''s get out here before another problem piles in."


    Allen said that and walked ahead.


    But before that, all the students who were standing and looking at him fell down. Their legs gave up.


    Allen looked at the emotionless girl... She had quite an injury in her hands that she is hiding using her sleeve. Blood is dripping.


    "Hey!"


    "EH?!"


    Hina the emotionless girl jumped after suddenly being called out.


    "Show me your hand."


    He calmly said that.


    "Umm... Why?"


    She had no expression on her face, but it still seems that she was troubled.


    "Just show me."


    His voice was cold as ice, deprived of any affection. The girl who had never heard this cold voice from anyone, felt fear circling around her heart.


    She didn''t have any option except to raise her hand.


    Allen took out a piece of bandage from his backpack, it was mostly the first kit. He wasn''t that type of fool who will use healing pills for small types of injury. And for others, he will throw them off the cliff expect sharing the pills.


    He simply values money more than other people''s lives.


    He raised Hina''s sleeves and wrapped the bandage around it. The scene made others a little stun, and Ken raised his eyebrow.


    But no one did anything.


    "You don''t need to put a bandage on this small injury. Kina could heal it with her healing magic."


    She said without any hesitation. Allen raised his head, and his gaze fell on the other students.


    A beautiful robe-wearing girl walked forward timidly.


    ''She seemed to be good at magic. Why did she bother learning healing magic except by buying healing pills... Oh! Maybe her family is... economically weak?''


    Allen thought. That seems quite rude so he didn''t openly say it.


    After reaching toward Hina, Kina looked at Hina''s injury. It was not a small injury, but a deep one. Her wrist had a small hole but a deep one that seems to have her nerves cut off.


    If it wasn''t for her mana to sustain her wounds, she would have already been unconscious at worst, she would have fallen into life and death situation.


    Every student''s eyes widen, they wanted to yell at her, but the situation wasn''t right. Kina''s pupils expanded, and her hands trembled. She wasn''t confident in her ability.


    She released her mana, except for a generally blue one, her mana was green.; The green mana entered Hina''s body, slowly repairing it.


    But the healing process was too slow. Even her blood didn''t stop flowing out. That''s the reason why Allen didn''t choose healing magic and wanted to rely on magic pills.


    Since healing magic took one hour just to repair the simple injury. It is like space magic, up to tier 5, healing magic isn''t that worth it. Because not only it take much time to heal the injury, the healer also couldn''t stop her magic.


    Because, if she did stop, the cell that was controlled by the healing magic to repair the injury would forcefully stop, causing the injured person to get, more injury.


    Allen couldn''t watch this.


    Why did these fools walk here without any healing pill?!


    He wanted to ask this, but he stopped.


    "Stop healing. Take this healing pill."


    He said without any emotion in his voice. Kina nodded and retract her mana slowly, not causing any injury to Hina. As long as she voluntarily retracts her mana slowly, the cell won''t lose its control and return back to its work.


    Hina stares at Allen for some moment, before taking the pill.


    [Ding! Affection Point increased by 10]


    [Current Affection Point: 20 (A cold senior but also kind of good person)]


    [Affection in words: Respect (Somewhat reliable senior)]

 Chapter 11 11 || Tier 0 Trash!

    ''Oh...''


    Looking at the affection going up, a smile formed on Allen, but he quickly hide it. Hina took the magic pill, and her injury recovered at a speed that could be visible through naked eyes.


    Expect of Hina, others'' eye''s widened up like they hadn''t seen this in their whole life. But that was also possible, Allen also didn''t have seen the effect of the recovery pill.


    He was also poor due to his somewhatplicated family situation.


    So he could retaliate with them.


    Also, he was surprised to see the effect of healing since previously when he came to Monster forest, he wasn''t injured at all.


    ''There is no free lunch in the world.''


    Allen looked at Hina. Looking at her eating the healing pill made his heartache... but it was for the future investment. He will get better-quality healing pills in the future.


    ''Yes! I will get more benefits in the future!''


    He thought so he couldfort himself. Allen wasn''t rich even in his previous life, so even if the healing cost amount he could easily earn, he was still unwilling to spend too much money. And for others, he would wish he could just push them off the cliff and be happy.


    "Thank you for your help again."


    Hina bowed her head respectfully.


    Allen just swayed his hand in the air and moved forward without caring about them with an attitude ''just fucking move.''


    Others students who were sitting on the ground since they were rxed and finally got to breathe. After serving the horde of monsters, they were full of fear.


    But after resting for a little and calming themselves up, they stood up and followed the mysterious senior.


    They were naturally afraid of him, how could they trust a stranger totally?


    However, Allen didn''t care at all. He just walked ahead, killing every monster thates in their way.


    He wanted to put all of the monster''s body in his backpack, but of course, he couldn''t. Not everyone has a storage ring.


    Even the students behind him didn''t have one.


    If it was only the normal students, he wouldn''t care. But he frowned when he saw the daughter of the Bin family also didn''t have one.


    Also, her appearance between normal people even if they are mages, their families are normal for great families was suspicious. She didn''t even have healing pills, and even if she was in a dire situation, there was nobody to help her.


    In one word, this was simply unbelieving.


    Great Family, and on top of that Bin family is a historical family that has existed for more than One Thousand years. They have more than five Sage Realm mages in their family.


    Also, their whole earnings of the month, cross the earnings of every normal and some big families.


    How could their daughter, even if she was an illegitimate daughter, she won''t be this poor not to afford one single healing pill?


    If we to say, even their servant family has ten healing potions in stock.


    But...


    ''Wait... Now that I think about it, I haven''t even... know their names!''


    He turned back and said in a calm monotonous tone. "What''s your name?"


    Hearing that, all of them were stunned for a moment. But they all return to reality quickly and look at each other.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The vigorous young man moved forward and put his hand on his chest proudly. He seemed energetic. "I am ze Jiuan. I am a Fighter-Type Mage. I specialize in the fist!" He said energetically. His fear all vanished.


    Next, the calm girl wearing a pink robe next speaks. "I am Lily Smander. I specialize in Fire-type magic. I am a fire mage." She said calmly in a soft voice. Like the sound of the piano, her voice was also soft and calm, which could attract the attention of any man. And her beauty just added charm to her voice.


    Another girl wearing a pink beautiful robe with a dry smile speaks. "I am Kina Heku. As previously, I am a Support mage. I specialize in healing and buff. Even if it is useless for now, I take... pride in that." She said softly. Her confidence was low, and she hesitated to speak thest part but decided to go with that.


    And it was Ken''s turn. He already had a good view of the senior, but somewhere in his heart, he felt this person isn''t right. "I am Ken Liyer. I am a Wind mage. I specialize in Wind-type magic." His tone was a little formal.


    And finally, it was Hina''s turn. Her face like always was cold and emotionless. "I am Hina... Liyer. I am a Fire-type mage. I specialize in mostly explosion-type fire magic."


    Hmm?


    Her voice was cold, but Allen ignored that. His attention drove toward the fact that she called her surname, Liyer. Isn''t she Bin? Is she a dustbin?


    Allen frowned. He raised his brows and thought.


    ''Is this the plot, where the FMC is someone who is mysterious and is of a great family? But she hides her identity because of some problems... Or, is she just lost from the childhood and Liyer family adopt her like in SL3.'' (A/N: Soul Land 3. In childhood, mc founds a little girl and takes her home. Also, mc was also little. ANd made her his little sister. She stayed for some years before returning to her family without telling her. So, I took reference from that.)


    He decided just to ask her directly.


    "You, Are you two siblings or rtives?"


    "... I am his... rtives." She said with some hesitation.


    "Yes, she is the daughter of my uncle who lives in another country," Ken said without any hesitation like it was some fact.


    "Oh..."


    Allen was somewhat surprised. But he didn''t want to pry too much and alert them. If it was some family problem and her family knows about it but hides deliberately...


    It will be a problem if they find out I know about her true identity.


    After that, Allen walked without talking. It was silent, and the students were somewhat shocked.


    Isn''t it polite to introduce yourself after hearing everyone''s introduction?


    But they didn''t dare to speak. They had seen him killing Tier 3 easily. At least his strength would have crossed Tier 4, or how would he killed that monster with ease. And he isn''t even tired after using space-type magic.


    Everyone couldn''t look at other cultivation/tiers easily. Only a person whose Tier was one step ahead of others could look.


    Allen was Tier 2, but his strength has already crossed Tier 3. Only mana purity was the problem. And, because of that, he could see the tier of Ken who is in tier 2, and Hina who is also in tier 2.


    Hina, couldn''t take the silence and awareness in the environment, so she moved forward. "Senior, why don''t you introduce yourself?"


    Allen halt his movement and turned his head. He sighed and opened his mouth.


    "I am... Allen Kin. I am a Space mage. I specialize in fire and space-type magic."


    ...


    Hearing his words and knowing his identity, everyone''s eyes widen. Their mouth was agape, even the emotionless girl Hina was stunned.


    The shocked expression of everyone made Allen smile mischievously like a kid who acted as poor and suddenly revealed his identity as a rich kid and blew everyone.


    Everyone looked at each other, they had one sentence in their mind.


    He is the TIER 0 TRASH!!!!!

 Chapter 12 12 || One Hundred Thousand Gold Coins

    ...


    Until they reached the academy, no one dare to speak a single word.


    Knowing Allen''s identity, they were all conflicted.


    There may be not a single person in the whole academy, who doesn''t know Allen Kin even if they hadn''t seen his face or even know except his name and his famous Title - Tier 0 trash.


    After they reached the academy, everyone bowed their head to Allen and leave still troubled.


    Were the rumors fake?


    They thought. They wanted to know more about Allen and at the best, make him their friends. But knowing Allen''s identity, they didn''t know what to do...


    They were stunned. In the end, all of them were still confused. And if they try to make friends with him, they thought he will just think of it that they approached me after I got strong


    In one way, they will be misunderstood and get more cold shoulder from him.


    Allen looked at their back and sighed.


    He wanted to return to the forest to hunt more monsters, but he will stop for today. He has already obtained the core of Tier 3 monster, but because of those students, he couldn''t get the body.


    He missed a lot of fortune today, so he lost the motivation to continue.


    "Let''s practice spells for now."


    He whispered to himself and left.


    Two Hours Later-


    Before he even realized the sun had set.


    For now, he returned and went directly to the ck market. It didn''t take more than 20 minutes to reach there.


    After reaching, without any dy, he walked toward All-Buying Treasure House.


    "Oh! Wee customer."


    The middle-aged man who he had done business with, bowed his head. As he saw Allening towards him.


    He had a business smile. And was ready to profit.


    "I want to sell this Tier 3 core."


    "...Tier 3?"


    The middle-aged man stupefies hearing the words.


    Tier 3 core!


    He was overjoyed.


    Tier 3 was one of the rare materials that are rarely found in the market. Since Tier 3 core is filled with magical energy, many magicians below Tier 6 could use it for their cultivation.


    Only Tier 6 or bigger people will sell them, but they are already busy hunting Tier 5 monsters.<novelnext></novelnext>


    As long as you cross Tier 5, money won''t be a problem. With quests only, one could earn millions of gold coins. [1]


    Coins are generally separated into 3 types. Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Every currency has a 10 times difference. 10 bronze coins are 1 silver and 10 silver coins are 1 gold coin.


    The middle-aged man smiled with joy. His face didn''t hide an inch of that smile. He immediately looks at Allen with respect and speaks in a low voice.


    "Dear cust- no, I mean sir, I could pay One hundred thousand gold coins, 10 mana potions, and 1 bottle of the mana-strengthing pill."


    !!!!!


    Just as the words reached Allen''s ear, he was baffled.


    O-On-One Hundred thousand gold coins! I haven''t seen that much money in my entire two lives!


    Allen''s expression was still calm as a mountain, while his heart was having a battle with excitement and joy.


    His heart thumped and he agreed.


    Taking the stuff, Allen bid farewell to the middle-aged man and returned to his dorm room.


    He immediately closed the door and sat on the bed.


    He wanted to break through Tier 3 as fast as possible. He has already built a foundation by practicing spells for a long time.


    Now, he only needs to strengthen his mana.


    He eats 1 mana-strengthing pill and sits in a meditation position. He closed his eye, emptied his mind, and circted the energy of the pill.


    Just one pill wasn''t enough for a breakthrough, he took another one. Still, that wasn''t sufficient, she took another one.


    After taking 5 pills, and mediation for 3 hours straight, Allen sessfully breakthrough into Tier 3.


    "Yeah! I am finally on Tier 3!"


    Tier 3, was the tier he needed to advance to this tier in two months. But it took only 2 weeks at most. Even genius needed 2 years to reach this level.


    It was like a dream. Just two weeks ago, he didn''t even have a thought that he would be Tier 3 space mage.


    At most, he thought he could break through to Tier 1. Tier 2 was far away from him.


    And now, even others will be bewildered by his cultivation. With just one click, he could blow many people.


    "Now, I need to finish the quest given by the system."


    A n surfaced in his brain. And an evil smile curved on his face.


    ''Haha! I will surely capture your heart, Hina!''


    Like a viin, he let out a silent viinousugh. And slept like a person who just sold his horse.


    [1] - Previously I used the dor ($) sign for money since I was unsure what type of currency should I use. But I will go with the usual way, so from here on, copper, silver, and gold coins will be used. For volume one, other currencies will not appear.

 Chapter 13 13 || Assassination Attempt

    In the garden situation at the backside of the building of the academy, varieties of flowers bloom there.


    The garden is called the Garden of Paradise.


    Why wouldn''t it be called a paradise? Thousands of types of flowers of different species bloom here. From normal beautiful flower-like Rose, Hydrangea, Dah, etc to spiritual flowers like Hundred Colour Flower, Mind Freshener Flower, Flower of Love, etc.


    Just staying here and looking at the beautiful flower is enough for people to rx and forget about their problems.


    However, due to their busy schedule, rarely do arge number of students visit here. And, mostly girls visit here.


    Not every student has time to dally in the garden and looks at the beautiful scenery. They have to cultivate.


    Only small families like Allen allow the children to have freedom and do as they wish even if they are weak. But, big families and ns, if they even failed to achieve small sess like reaching Tier 5, would get punishment.


    Nobody is free, that''s why only 1 or 2 random students visit the garden daily.


    And today, only one student is sitting on the bench, and admiring the beauty of the flowers. And, the student is none other than the princess of the Bin family; Hina, who is for unknown reason staying with the Liyer family.


    Her beautiful cold face had a small smile blooming on it like those flowers. Her already beautiful face became more beautiful because of that smile. Any man would get attracted to her and stare at her if they just saw that smile.


    Well, she did have fans, followers, and the president young master who flex their family.


    Swish! Swish!


    Suddenly, two shadowy figures passed by her back without generating a single sound. They hid in the bushes and looked at Hina.


    "Is she the target?"


    "Yes."


    They both whispered. After confirming the target, they jumped from the shadow andnded near Hina.


    Hina felt the presence of two figures. She stood and turned back. Her body stiffen and she took a fighting stance.


    Looking at those two ck robes and a ck mask covering their face. They looked creepy and suspicious.


    Just looking at them gave her goosebumps. She didn''t waste a single second. The cold air in the environment turned hot, and two palm-sized fireballs appeared in her both hands.


    Like Chinese martial arts, who took a fighting stance with fire in their hand, she looked the same.


    "Who are you guys?!"


    She yelled at them. She took a nce at the exit and was ready to flee as long as they get distracted.


    But contrary to her expectation, the reality didn''t go well. They didn''t even open their mouth and look at each other. They both nodded and jumped.


    Just as they jumped, they disappeared like they just teleported or just got sucked by the space.


    Hina''s body stiffened, her eyes widen, and fear crawled in her heart. She was fully guarded, but something got injected into her neck.


    "!"


    Her fireball disappeared, and she couldn''t circte her mana. For magicians, if they couldn''t circte mana, then they just be normal people.


    Unlike fighters whose body is strong, or like tanks who have high defense, the mage is a technically normal person with just mana in their body.


    ''Poison?''


    She put her finger in her neck and found one small needle piercing the flesh of the neck and stuck halfway.


    Two figures appeared behind her.


    "Caught you!"


    They whispered near her ear, causing her to flinch. Her face darken and she couldn''t hide her fear. She was terrified, so much that her legs shook slightly.


    ''Am I going to die? Just like this.''


    She thought inside her head.


    ''No, I don''t want to die!''


    "Someone... please save me!"


    With her remaining energy, she spits out those words.


    "Arg!"


    Like in movies, when the heroine is in trouble, the hero appears. The viin near Hina also flew away and hit the trees.


    "Huh..?"


    She titled her head and looked at the white figure. His face was cold and merciless.


    The assassin who just got thrown spat a mouthful of blood, and hispanion winched. He looked at Allen who was raising his hands.


    "Y-You! Who are you?!"


    He asked as his expression turned grim. He was ready to escape.


    "Like hell, I will tell you!"


    Allen shouted.


    "!"


    Assassin''s body stiffened as some unknown force pushed him in the same direction as hispanion.


    He also hit the tree.


    They both stood barely bncing their body.


    "Shit! We need to escape."


    Nod!


    Just as they nod, a big bomb got thrown at the ground.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Wha?!"


    Hina''s body got thrown to distract Allen, just as she was about to fall Allen caught her.


    And the garden got filled with white smoke. Their vision dulled and they could see nothing.


    "Pretty tricks!"


    Allen snickers and swiped his hand.


    Swoosh!


    The fog disappeared like it never did exist.


    Hina looked at Allen expressionless dumbfounded.


    And Allen looked at her, not technically at her, but the box window near her face.


    [Ding! Affection increased by 30]


    [Current Affection Point: 50 (Senior who saved my life twice)]


    [Affection in words: My Hero (Small crush, but not technically one)]


    Hina''s expression wavered. She seemed troubled, but Allen didn''t care. He gently put her on the ground, and white staggering she bnced herself.


    "T-Thanks senior. To save... my life again."


    Her cheeks redden a bit.


    "It''s not a problem."


    He swayed his hand.


    "B-But-"


    "Shh!"


    Before she was about to retort, Allen put his index finger at her lips to shut her.


    "Let''s forget about that. By the way, who were those guys?"


    "I don''t know. From their looks, they seemed to be Assasin!"


    "Assasin. Huh...?"


    "Yes, I don''t really know, why would someone want to kill me to the extent, they would send an assassin."


    "Huh...?"


    Allen was dumbfounded by her answer. Like he didn''t expect.


    "You don''t really know?"


    "Yes..."


    "I think, some rich girl was jealous of you. And since you have no background, she wanted to dispose of you. Clear and simple."


    "Huh? Would someone want to kill others for this petty reason?"


    "You don''t know? For girls, their pride in beauty is bigger than their strength. They would do anything to be the most beautiful."


    "Really?"


    "Yes."


    They discussed while standing.


    "Well, anyway. Be careful, maybe those assassins will return. It would be best if you return back to your room and be with your friends."


    Allen said with a grim expression on his face.


    "Yes, I should do that."


    She said softly. Her voice and expression softened. And she had a low guard against Allen.


    Allen''s eyes fell on her legs which seemed to be still shaking. She seemed to be traumatized by this incident.


    "May, I should apany you."


    He said calmly.


    "No no. I shouldn''t trouble senior further."


    "No. It''s not a problem. And look at you, your feet are still shaking. And you are telling me, you don''t needpany. Also, what if a new assassines at you. Who will protect you at that time?"


    Allen said like a senior who is just worried about his junior.


    "Ah. Then, I will trouble senior."


    She bowed her head. Allen stick out his arm, so she could hold on.


    "Thank you."


    She smiled at Allen, and with trembling legs, she walked ahead with the help of Allen.


    ''Heh. My n worked.''


    Allen smiled evilly.


    ******


    I don''t know if you like this chapter or not.


    And sorry for yesterday, I couldn''t post a chapter. I am sick. I have a fever, so I don''t know if  I could upload the next chapter tomorrow or not. I barely write this today. But don''t worry, I will keep my promise.

 Chapter 14 14 || Behind The Scene

    One day ago-


    Inside Secret Assassin Organization-


    Calling it a secret is a bit of a stretch, every local in this area would know its presence. Even the lord of this town knows about it.


    There are many reasons why they aren''t hunted down, but nobody cares about it now.


    Allen waited at the desk. A young beautiful girl in her twenties stood smiling at him.


    "Who''s your target, sir?"


    She said with a smile that made the wordse out of her eerier like she didn''t care about the life of anyone.


    "Hina Liyer."


    "Oh. A girl."


    Her eyes stretched a bit, but a mischievous smile soon covered it.


    "Did she give you enough problem to the extent that you are willing to assassinate her?"


    "Not really."


    Allen was really calm. He didn''t give a damn about the woman and her scary words. Allen wasn''t a typical 19 years old guy. To sum up his both lives age, it would cross 50.


    And her flirtatious move just as showing her cleavage and wearing tight clothes that show the outline of her breast. And a skirt that suited her, and made her sexier.


    She was a man ma.


    Well, that''s her job to entertain the guest. And showing these figures attracts more men even toe here just to pass time since this is a part-time tavern.


    A branch of the Secret Assasin Organization.


    Allen took a sip of tea that was offered to him.


    "I want to just scare her with the assassin and save her like a hero."


    "Huh...?"


    The woman''s eyes widen in surprise. She really didn''t expect that.


    ''Hiring assassin just to show yourself as a hero... Who does this thing in this age?''


    She was dumbfounded.


    Rarely, no, it would be the first task someone has given to scare off other parties just to show off yourself as mighty.


    In a sense, it is a stupid idea.


    Not only hiring an assassin requires a huge amount of money that only rich people have, it also is a stupid thing to do.


    Rich unt money to attract girls, and she was no expectation. If someone offers her 1 million gold coins monthly, she wouldn''t mind marrying that guy.


    But keep one thing in mind, that much money took even 1 month even for city lord to earn it.


    Leaving useless topics aside, no one really wants to scare a girl just to get the girl.


    If they find out about this, the man would get charged with more hatred than they had got love.


    The woman gently rub her chin and smiled cheerfully.


    ''It is interesting.'' "So, you want to y the role of both viin and the hero."


    "Yes."


    Allen said without batting an eye to her. How much she tries to attract him, he didn''t give her the grass.


    ''Fufu... How interesting. He isn''t even caring about me. He must really like that girl.''


    She clearly misunderstood Allen''s intention but also got it right in a sense.


    They both shook their hands to confirm the contract. Allen paid Fifty Thousand golds unwillingly. He spat a mouthful of blood as he had to let go of his money. Like couples, who doesn''t want to part away with each other.


    The woman smiled like a hunter who just got her prey. She bowed her head, and Allen left.


    All the things such as choosing a ce, time, and information, all will be decided by the organization. And they will inform Allen before taking action.


    One day passed, and they got the perfect ce and time. Before taking action, Allen was informed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    So, he hide and waited.


    The assassins did their task splendidly and scared Hina to the point where her body trembled like a puppy.


    "Someone... please save me!"


    Allen didn''t expect her to call for help. But he smiled and jumped.


    He just used little force, and the assassin understood their part. The one assassin who got touched by the force flew away by himself and hit the tree and spat fake blood.


    Others did the same, and they both ran away.


    The script was written splendidly, the actor performed the act splendidly, and the movie will get an oscar.


    Under the pretense of apanying her home, Allen invaded her heart and sessfully took down her general soldier.


    And it was turned for themander, minister, and finally, the queen to conquer.


    As they walked under the red sun that was going to set, they both kept quiet. The atmosphere wasn''t awkward, instead, it seemed to be sweet.


    Hina held Allen''s arm and with his support, she reached the academy.


    "Hina!"


    Just as they reached the academy, Ken shouted. He ran toward Hina and stopped mid-away. His eyes fell on the hand of Hina who is grabbing the arm of Allen.


    He furrowed his brows. He looked at Allen like a guy whose girlfriend just got stolen from him


    "I-I didn''t know... you two had this kind of... rtionship."


    He said with a shaking voice. He wanted them to decline.


    "No no!"


    Hina immediately swayed her hand with a red face.


    "I was attacked by assassins. And he saved me... And apany me here."


    She said softly with a hint of fear in her voice.


    "What?!"


    Hearing that, Ken ignored the part of her holding his hands and immediately rushed over to Hina. He examined Hina''s body to check whether she had got injured or not.


    "Are you fine?! Did you get hurt?"


    He spoke like a father who just saw his daughtering home with injuries. Even if the situation was different, the reaction is the same.


    "I am fine. If it wasn''t for the senior toe at the time... I couldn''t have got the opportunity to witness this beautiful sunset."


    "Thank god."


    He breathes a sigh of relief. He immediately grabbed Hina''s hand and pulled her over like an overprotective brother who is also a siscon.


    "Ah!"


    She felt the lingering warmth of Allen''s arm. A feeling of disappointed swarm her heart, but she shook her head to forget about it.


    Ken gently took Hina. Before going, he bowed down to Allen. "Thank you for saving her."


    His gratitude seems sincere but mixed with anger and jealousy. Without waiting for Allen''s response, he took Hina to her room.


    "Haah. That was amusing."


    He remembered his expression of Hina. He was a step ahead closer to his quest.


    "ying the part of both viin and the hero is quite funny."


    He chuckled. Hiring assassins himself and also saving the target himself. And his act...


    "I should have got an oscar for that!"


    He sighed with a bit of disappointment. If he had the talent of acting in his previous life, maybe his life would have changed.


    With a small dark smile, Allen proceeds to his room.

 Chapter 15 15 || Challenge To A Duel - Fistfight

    Next Day-


    Morning 6 AM-


    Allen was practicing his magic spell like always.


    "Shadow Art!"


    Swoosh!


    With this chant, his body turned dark and flowed into the shadow of the tree and mixed with itself.


    As long as one would not pay more attention to the shadow of the tree, no one would find out that one human hiding there.


    This was how he sneak attack the Gorilo.


    "Haaah!"


    He took a deep breath and returned back to his human form.


    "Now that I got closer to her, what should I do?"


    He mumbled. He was single in his previous life and doesn''t know much about a girl''s heart.


    "Should I give her a gift?"


    He thought about that but quickly shook his head rejecting the idea. He saved her yesterday, and she would''ve to give him a gift for saving him. If he just give her a gift now, it would be like he was thanking her for her getting attacked by assassins.


    "Hmm..."


    He wracked his brain for ideas but gave up for now.


    "I will think about itter."


    He sighed and again practiced his spells.


    "Telekinesis! Energy st!"


    He was getting used to casting multiple spells. Well, it isn''t rare for the mage to cast multiple spells at a time, but only the mage above Tier 5 was the one to perform this feat.


    Two hours passed in a blink of an eye.


    It was time to get home.


    Allen exited the forest.


    "Oh..."


    On the way, he met Hina, who was walking toward the building.


    "Hey!"


    Allen called out to her. It would be kind of weird to ignore her after saving her.


    "Oh senior."


    Hina walked toward him with a beautiful face that was devoid of any emotions. Her emotion the previous day seemed to be like an illusion.


    "How are you?"


    He asked.


    "I am fine. Thank you for worrying about me. And also, thank you for saving me yesterday."


    She bowed down and showed her gratitude.


    Students passing by looked at them. They all had confusion in their eyes, while most of the boys had jealousy and envy.


    ''Why our angel is bowing down to him?!''


    They all thought the same thing, but nobody walked toward them.


    Until one young blond-haired man with a smile hiding his jealously walked towards them without any hesitation.


    "Oh! What a coincidence to meet you, mydy."


    He talked politely like how a noble should talk. But for Allen, he thought he was sticking the dialogue of some historical movie.


    "Umm..." Hina showed a troubled expression. "W-Who are you?"


    Shock!


    Students looked at the blonde hair with pity in their eyes, while some tried their best to hold down theughter.


    Allen looked at the boy like he was some clown. His lips trembled and a smile formed.


    The blonde hair guy had a surprised face. He was stunned but he quickly return back to his sense.


    "I didn''t think that mydy would forget about me..."


    ''This is too cringy!''


    Allen thought.


    Seeing the sad face of blond hair guy, Allen had mixed emotions. Like what should he do? Laugh at him, orfort him saying he would go to a circus to be a clown.


    He was agonizing, should he directlyugh at him or contribute to the society by recruiting him to a circus.


    Because for Allen, this guy was nothing more than a clown.


    "Sorry?"


    Hina titled her head and apologized.


    "Ahem! My name is Harry Luke. I am the youngest son of the family head."


    He introduced himself.


    "Oh! I am Hina Liyer. I am not rted to main family."<novelnext></novelnext>


    She pulled her robe a little bit high and bowed slightly showing a dignified greeting.


    Allen was quiet. He didn''t want to mix up in this.


    "And who would this gentleman be?"


    He looked at Allen and asked.


    "I am Allen Lin. Nice to meet you."


    He said in a monotonous tone. He didn''t have any intention of acting like that clown.


    "Oh!"


    The blond hair guy eximed. A small smile formed on his face.


    "Aren''t you famous here? I think you had a title. What was it?"


    Harry acted innocent despite knowing about Allen. He wanted to insult him for making his girl bow to him like that.


    Actually, he was also enraged that she talked with him causally, when he had to force himself to talk with her in a good tone and still don''t get many replies.


    "Really? Am I that famous enough to get a title? Maybe the title is, The Handsome Man of The Academy!"


    "Pfft!"


    Hearing the words of Allen, Hina burst out inughter but quickly calm down. Other students looked at him in a daze, thinking what the hell is that guy talking about.


    But nobody refuted.


    Tier 3 mana flowed out from his body stunning everybody present there.


    ''The Tier 0 trash has be Tier 3 Mage! Monster!''


    Everybody whispered to themselves.


    The most stunned in this ce was Harry. He wanted to insult Allen, but now he didn''t have any basis too.


    He was also a Tier 3 mage. But he felt the mana of Allen is stronger than his.


    The trash who was only Tier 0 two weeks ago is now a Tier 3 mage. What the heck?!


    He thought that.


    Who in the world could breakthrough 3 Tier in just two weeks!


    Nobody was reconciled.


    "Haha... You may be right..."


    Harry couldn''t refute his statement. Well, Allen wasn''t the most handsome, but since he is now stronger than them, they could only ept it.


    "Senior, let''s go. There are many people here."


    Hina tugged Allen''s sleeves and said in a soft voice.


    ''Wha?!''


    Harry was enraged. He was also a second-hair, but Hina never even called his name, let alone call him something sweet like a senior.


    She didn''t even give him any respect.


    But he was also a junior in front of Allen.


    Suddenly, a n surfaced in Harry''s mind, and a dark smile formed.


    "Senior!"


    Allen was stunned for a moment when he heard ''senior''ing from the disgusting mouth of Harry. He coughed and looked at Harry.


    "Yes... JUNIOR."


    He smiled. His smile was somewhat scary.


    "Haha... Why don''t senior give me some pointer."


    "Ohh. Are you challenging me in a duel?"


    "Yes, that is one way to put it. But this duel will be a little special."


    "Special?"


    "Yeah! How about we just diss the stuff like magic and fight hand to hand!''


    "!!"


    Hina''s eyes widen, and she looked at Harry''s face dumbfounded. Others also looked at him with surprise.


    Who the hell fight with a fist in Mage Academy?! This isn''t Fighter Academy, dude!"


    This was a stupid idea. Stupid was beyond word, in the mage academy where magices at the top, Harry is challenging Allen to a fistfight.


    Harry was confident in his ability. He was taught martial arts when he was little so he could protect himself in case he couldn''t use magic.


    Allen thought for a second. "Sure."


    He epted it without giving it much thought.


    Again, everyone was surprised.


    Is this a surprise day?


    They couldn''t count how much they have been surprised just today.


    And just like that, a duel was going to take ce in Mage Academy.

 Chapter 16 16 ||One Sided Battle

    "Dude, what are you doing here? There is a duel! A special duel!"


    "Special duel? What''s that?"


    Some unknown students of Mage Academy chatted with each other. As one was simply telling him about the duel that is going to happen.


    "A duel where one can''t use mana. In one word, it is a total fist fight!!"


    "What the hell? Who is fucking out of mind to hold this duel?"


    "It''s Harry! The known genius of this Academy who bes Tier 3 mage just in his second year."


    "What? He is Tier 3 in his second year, and I am in my third year still trying to break through Tier 3."


    "Well, that''s the life of us normal ordinary students."


    "Yes... By the way, who is the fool that epted this duel?"


    "It''s Allen, the Tier 0 trash...Wait, he is now Tier 3!"


    "WTF! Tier 0 is also a Tier 3 now. Why am I even cultivating? It seems, except of me, others are advancing to Tier 3."


    "I am here too... Anyway, let''s go watch the duel."


    "Sure."


    The nameless students walked toward the dueling tform, where the majority of students are waiting for the match to begin.


    The cheers and boos could be heard all over the ce. Well, no one cares about it.


    Allen stood at one end of the tform and Harry stood opposite of Allen.


    "Hey senior, dueling without any bet is boring, isn''t it?"


    Harry said with a smile on his face.


    "Yes, junior. What should we bet? 10 thousand gold, or some treasure?"


    Allen replied him another smile.


    They seemed to have a gentle temperature which is nothing but fake.


    "No no, what''s the point of betting on money? How about, who wins this match gets a date with Hina?"


    "What? Sorry, but Hina is not an object to bet. And she has her own will, and it will be rude for me to bet on her without her consent."


    "So if she gives her consent, it will be right?"


    "Yes."


    Allen also didn''t mind betting on her since he has a quest toplete. But he can''t go betting without her decision.


    Harry looked at Hina with a smile and asked in a gentle voice. "Mydy, would you ept the proposal?"


    Hina was in a trance, whether she should ept it or not. But it was her fault that it came to this. She knew this good-for-nothing senior was aiming at her. Because she talked with Allen, this senior couldn''t hold his anger and challenged him.


    "She isn''t an object to bet!"


    From the crowd, an angry voice rang. Ken jumped to the dueling tform and stood near Hina. He was furious.


    "She isn''t something you can bet on?"


    He scolded both seniors in front of him without any fear.


    "No... It''s ok. I will go on a date with the winner."


    She agreed reluctantly.


    "You don''t have to force yourself to agree to that?"


    Allen walked towards her and calmly said that.


    "No, because of me, you are in trouble... So, I should get this much punishment, right?"


    She said softly, with her cheeks little red.


    Ken didn''t want to believe Hina bing shy to the mysterious senior. But he couldn''t do anything for now.


    "No, it''s ok."


    Allen put his hand on the top of Hina''s head.


    "Huh?"


    He gently rubs her skill smooth hair. Hina didn''t shake off the hand, instead, she felt the warmth.


    [Ding! Affection raised by 2]


    [Ding! Affection raised by 1]


    [Ding! Affection raised by 3]


    [Ding! Affection raised by 2]


    [Ding! Affection raised by 2]


    ...


    Allen looked at the window with a satisfied smile.


    Then pull off the hand from her head and jumped on the tform.


    "Ah!"


    Hina let out a disappointed sigh as she watched Allen standing on the tform with a smile.


    She felt weird feelings surfacing in her heart. She longed for Allen. She didn''t realize that she had already started feeling the love.


    "Are you two ready?"


    One old man who had a white beard asked the both of them. He was the witness of this duel as well as the referee.


    ""Yes.""<novelnext></novelnext>


    Both participants answered.


    "You two can''t seriously injure each other. And any magic spell can''t be used. With that said, let the match begin!"


    As he announced, Harry rushed at Allen with a devious smile.


    Allen also took a fighting stance.


    "Aaaaa!"


    With a scream, Harry swung his fist at Allen.


    Bang!


    With a bang, Allen felt the impact of the punch, but he had already blocked it off with his hand. Harry was stunned. His confused expression amused Allen.


    Harry immediately raised his leg to kick Allen, but that was also blocked off by Allen''s legs. Harry jumped back to create some distance.


    But before he could get back, Allen grabbed his cor and threw him off.


    "Wha?!"


    Harry was dumbfounded. He didn''t even realize he was already on the ground.


    Allen raised his leg and forcefully hit his stomach.


    "Gah!''


    A painful voice escaped from Harry''s mouth. He rolled sideways and stood. He touched his stomach with both hands and gritted his teeth.


    With a frown, he took a deep breath.


    Again, he jumped at Allen.


    Allen immediately dodged him. But a sudden kicknded on Allen''s leg.  It was unpredicted. Allen took a hit, but it wasn''t anything serious.;


    "Tsk!"


    Harry clicked his tongue seeing his attack had no damage.


    All the visitors looked at the fight with glimmering eyes. Looking at the duel they were all excited.


    "Bet! Who will win; Harry or Allen? Bet now!"


    "I bet 100 golds on Harry!"


    "I bet 200 golds on Allen!"


    ...


    Students started betting while Hina was worried about Allen and Ken was worried about Hina.


    "Y-You, do you know martial arts?!"


    Harry asked with a grim expression, no ordinary people could block him off.


    And Allen''s body was also strong, unlike ordinary people, his body felt like iron.


    "Don''t ask questions in the middle of a duel!"


    Allen lightly said before charging at Harry.


    He ran at Harry and Harry took a defensive stance. However, Allen jumped in the air, Harry was going to block his attack.


    But instead of attacking, Allen jumped andnded behind Harry, which made him a little surprised. But before he could react, a fist hadnded on his head which made him somersault.


    The students cheered looking at the battle.


    "Go Allen go! Defeat that bastard!"


    "I have bet 1000 golds on you! You better win!"


    ...


    Allen ignored thosements.


    As their battle looked ordinary, it wasn''t. Their speed was incredible, they both looked like they have mastered martial arts.


    Their speed may not be incredible in front of a real martial master, but it was stunning for normal people.


    It was rare itself to see a martial arts fighting. So, for them it was incredible.


    Harry stood with staggering movement. He got some damage, but it wasn''t that critical.


    Their fight continued, as Harry jumped and raised his left leg attacking Allen''s face. But Allen blocked it off with both hand, turned his body, and forced his fist at Harry''s face.


    Harry also blocked it off, but another fistnded on his stomach. He was caught off-guard, and the punch was serious.


    "Gah!!"


    He gasped for breath and looked at Allen like a monster who wanted to kill the human. His breathing became rag and like a madman, he rushed at Allen without fearing the consequences.


    "Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"


    He screamed loudly and attack Allen with his full strength. Allen wasn''t stupid to take the attack, so he rotated his feet and swiped his body as the punch came near him.


    "Huh?"


    Harry punched the air, Allen only dodged the attack slightly and was near Harry.


    Just as Harry was caught off-guard with his hand still in the air, Allen''s lunch hit Harry''s face.


    "Arg!"


    Harry cried as the punch was so hard that he flew out of the arena. His face was swollen red, and his cheeks puffed like a puff fish.


    It was seen clearly that he got beaten badly like a dog. And Allen was neat and clean. This showed...


    This was a one-sided battle!

 Chapter 17 17 || Date, Quest Complete And Grandpa!!!

    On the dueling tform, the visitors looked at Allen with tremendous respect. The whole area was quiet as even one could hear the sound of air flying with a swish.


    "He... won?"


    "Yeah?"


    The dumbfounded students raised their hands in the air.


    "YEAH! HE WON! I GOT 1000 golds! WOHOOO!!!"


    "Yeah! I Won 500 GOLDS!!!"


    "YEEEEAAAAH!!!"


    The cheering of students could be heard as Harry slept on the stretcher that the medical team brought and took him with them.


    Allen didn''t stay on the dueling tform for so long. He ignored those students and walked toward Hina.


    [Ding! Affection raised by 5]


    ...


    Allen smiled looking at Hina. His gaze was gentle as it could go. He was closer to his goal.


    "S-Senior! You have won!"


    She eximed with a bright smile on her face, gleaming with bright light. She looked truly like an angel that attracted the attention of every student present there.


    "Yeah."


    He put his hand on her head and gently pat her.


    Ken frowned looking at this, but with a sigh, he carried his broken heart and exited the area with a gloomy expression.


    [Affection Raised by 2]


    "Now, what should we do about our date?"


    Allen asked in a mischievous tone. Hina''s cheeks redden like a tomato on hearing the word ''date''. It would be her first date with a special someone.


    Somehow it made her heart go warm and her face became hot.


    "Y-Y-Yees. Le-Let''s meet tomorrow at 10 am!"


    She said in a hurry and rush out with a smile on her face. Her bright face carried out by her redden cheeks made her look like an art.


    No student present thereined since they have firsthand seen the power of Allen. And he is stronger than them, so they will just their mouth for now.


    Every student left the dueling tform with a gloomy expression and heartache. Only the person who left this ce cheerfully would be Allen and Hina.


    As one had said, Time never stops for anyone. It flows like a river.


    The one day has passed in a blink of an eye and nothing major happened.


    But the news of Allen bing Tier 3 and defeating Harry spread like wildfire. In just a day, every student in the academy knows about this like it is some fact.


    At the gate of the academy where students passed ncing at the figure standing frigidly with a cheery face.


    "Hey, did you wait long?"


    With a cliche word, Allen walked toward Hina with a grin on his face.


    "No no! I just arrived here just a bit earlier."


    Hina said squirming which made her look cute.


    However, Allen knew that Hina was lying as he was looking at her for one hour straight. It was still 30 minutes before their meeting time.


    Hina arrived her 2 hours ago. Allen just arrived 30 minutester and saw Hina squirming like a kitten. It was amusing so he looked at her y.


    Looking at her face, checking her dress, and even practicing her script... It was hellish funny.


    ''At least, I got this much entertainment for skipping my hunting today.''


    He thought inside his heart.


    "S-So, shall we g-go!"


    "Yeah."


    "Ah!"


    [Ding! Affection increased by 10]<novelnext></novelnext>


    Allen softly held Hina''s hand which caught her off guard. Her body jolted as the warmth of Allen was transmitted to her palm.


    "Sorry! I grabbed your hand without your permission."


    "No... I-Its ok..."


    She said and they both walked toward the town.


    Time passed by as the two couples enjoyed their date.


    They watched drama, eat lunches, roamed around the town, and much more.


    At the time, the affection rate skyrocketed.


    And finally... At the end of the date, as the sun set, a box appeared in front of Allen.


    [Ding! Quest Completed]


    [System Update to Version 1.5, +1 high-silver tier storage ring with 10 Mid-Silver Tier healing potions Obtained]


    "What happened Senior?"


    Hina asked worriedly as she saw Allen staring at the space. He had a smirk on his face.


    "No, it''s nothing. It''s time to go home."


    He said.


    "Oh yes. It was so fun that I forgot the sense of time."


    Hinaughed gleamingly.


    Swoosh!


    "Wha?"


    "Ahh!"


    Suddenly, a shadow appeared between them and covered them. Before they could even retaliate, they fell unconscious.


    ...


    "Wake up, boy."


    Hearing the rough voice of someone old man, Allen woke up joltly.


    "Haah! What happened?"


    As he opened his eyes, an old man in his eighties or nies came into his vision. He had a dignified posture, and he looked noble. At a nce, Allen saw that he was someone powerful. More powerful than he could imagine.


    "Who are you?"


    Allen asked with a dark grim expression. He felt troubleing from this man.


    "I am soul reaper that hase to reap your soul."


    ''What the hell?''


    "When did soul reaper be old? When did soul reaper appear wearing a robe?"


    Allen asked without any hesitation as the surrounding wasn''t that heavy. That means this man doesn''t have any intention to hurt him for now.


    "Haha! You seem to have some humor, child."


    Allen didn''t reply instead he stared at the old man with doubtful eyes.


    ''Who is this old man? What the hell even happened?''


    He wracked his brain. But suddenly, he felt another presenceing little farther than him. It was Hina, she rubbed her eyes and stood.


    Her vision fell on the old man, and her brain instantly clear up. Mixed expression formed on her face.


    "Grandpa!"


    She called out to the old man jolly.


    ''Grandpa?''


    What the fuck!

 Chapter 18 18 || Hina Left The Academy!

    Facing a monstrous-looking old man, Allen couldn''t help but be silent. The person must be a Sage-Realm expert, or maybe even stronger...


    "Haha!" Laughing loudly, the old man looked at his granddaughter; Hina.


    "You have found a goodd. His talent isn''t that bad. His mana is stronger than others."


    The old without batting an eye on Allen said facing Hina with a gentle smile.


    "Waah...Thanks."


    Hina said blushingly, her ear turned red and her face twitched. She covered her face with her hair, taking nces at Allen.


    On the other hand, Allen was in a daze.


    ''Sudden entry of grandpa...''


    Allen thought his business will long over before he had to face her family, not only was his business finished today, but he was also faced with a monstrous-looking muscr grandpa.


    His age may have even crossed a century since a Sage-Realm mage can live five hundred years easily.


    While Allenpared the old man with his sense of age, what he saw in his world, it was rare for him to see an old expert even in this world.


    "Anyway, I havee to take you home."


    "Huh...? This sudd-"


    "Yeah, our family has got a new problem and we need... you to solve it..."


    As soon as Hina heard that, her face darken. Embarassness left her face and a grim serious expression formed on her face.


    "I have already finished all the business here. You just have to follow me."


    The old manughing expression changed into a serious one. He finally looked like a person suited his age.


    "Ok."


    Hina said lowly, her head hung down, she felt like crying.


    "C-Can''t I say farewell to my friends...?"


    Hina said with a shaking voice, demanding something was hard for her.


    "Sorry, but you can''t. It is too urgent, we need to go now."


    He said. He looked at Allen and pointed at him. "You can say your farewell with this guy... And if you want to escape your fate, this guy has to be strong and help you."


    "Huh..."


    Hina was stunned, her senior could change her fate.


    Allen was hearing the conversation from the side. He could guess their problem. He has read many novels and manga, so from all those troops he could predict it was something to do with political marriage.


    That''s the only thing that Hina could be helpful anyway. She doesn''t have that much power, and her beauty is unparalleled. So, the other side must have requested Hina to solve the problem.


    And, from his tone, he could again guess, that he needs to be soo strong enough to solve the dispute between those families and take Hina with him.


    Which was something, Allen didn''t intend to do. He will just say farewell and some cliche line and get rid of her.


    Why would I poke my nose into their business?


    Allen thought and looked at Hina with an innocent gaze. He made a face that showed he didn''t understand what they were talking about.


    Hina walked toward Allen with a longing gaze, her lips trembled and a sad expression formed in her face.


    "S-Senior, it seems I have to return home."<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Yeah, I heard."


    "So, I couldn''t return here in this life."


    "What?"


    "Yes, and my fate is already sealed. So, I don''t think I could apany you in this life."


    "Really? I would do anything to take you!" Allen faked an angry expression that made him look like a crazy lover.


    "No. I can''t risk your life for my selfishness." Hina looked at the sky and gently replied.


    "But-"


    "No. Plese live a happy life and... forget about me." Hina said as a drop of tear fell from her eye. Her eyes flickered and her lips shook. She barely endure crying like a baby.


    "Ok." Allen gently said. He shook his head, and gently embrace her. "I won''t be happy, if I have to... forget about you." ''Of course, I will be happy as hell.''


    Allen''s words and his inner thought contradict each other. Hina was stun for a moment, but she rest her head at his chest.


    The old grandpa looked at them with silence.


    Tears overflowed from her eyes like river, she didn''t cry loudly but cried silently.


    "Y-yeah. I won''t... be happy as well." Hina''s shaking voice while wiping her tear was too emotional. "But, having to look at you risking your life is even harder."


    "Don''t worry." Allen smoothly patted her head like a father gently patting his daughter. "One day, I will be strong enough to take you back and carry you here like a princess."


    "Really?" Hina raised her head and looked at Allen''s eye like a child.


    "Yes... So please wait for me."


    "Ok." Wiping her tears, Hina showed a mature smile and walked over her grandpa.


    "Are you ready?"


    "Yes."


    He let out a mana from his finger that covered the Hina''s body. In the night, her body dazzlingly glowed like an angel.


    "I will... wait for you senior for the rest of my life."


    With her best smile, tears stilling out from her eyes, Hina disappeared leaving heartbroken Allen alone.


    "Yeah... My ass! Whew! I finally got free." Allen stretched his arms looking at the sky. "Why the hell was she so obseed with me anyway? We barely know each other for a week. Anyway, love is mysterious, no need to think about it."


    Allen left the area with an emotionless face.


    "Finally, I could do more productive things as killing the monster, rasing my tiers and earning money."


    Allen pumped his fist and returned to his dorm.


    After that, he jumped on his bed and slept like a log.


    Next day-


    Allen woke and as he opened his eyes, a shocking thing revealed. He was dumbfounded, shocked, stunned, everything.


    He blinked his eyes multiple times thinking this is an illusion, but no matter how much he blinked, the thing isn''t fake.


    ''WHAT THE HELL?!''


    Allen''s silent voice echoed inside his heart as he looked at the girl sleeping very soundly beside him.

 Chapter 19 19 || Family

    [Edited by Dark_Ascender]


    ''What the fucking hell?''


    Allen stared at the asleep girl as his brain cleared up. He woke up and blinked his eyes repeatedly.


    "Hey, wake up! You sleepyhead."


    Allen shook the girl''s body and called out to her.


    "Hmm~"


    But the girl didn''t wake up. She squirmed on the bed. The cute girl''s arm turned and wrapped around Allen''s body. With a cute smile on her face, the girl rests her head on his chest.


    Allen frowned. An evil smile shed on his face. He raised his fingers and a ss floated into the kitchen. The ss dragged toward the sink. As it reached under the water tap, the tap rotated and filled the empty ss with water.


    The ss of water approached the bed and floated above the girl''s head. He stopped telekinesis and the ss fell, sshing the water all over the girl''s face. Allen didn''t get a drop of water as he had made a small barrier from telekinesis.


    "Uwwaaaa!!!"


    The girl woke jolty with a face full of despair like a fish who just got dragged out of the water and left on the sand.


    The girl blinked with a face full of confusion. She turned her face and her eyes met Allen''s.


    "Hello, sleepyhead."


    Allen raised his hand and smiled. The girl stares at him for a moment. "What the hell happened? Where did the watere from?"


    She searched for the source of water but couldn''t find anything since Allen had already hidden the ss.


    "Let''s forget about water. Why are you sleeping in my bed like it''s yours?"


    "Oh. Ummmm... I came to wake you up, but..."


    "You get tempted by the bed and sneak on it. It was sofortable you fell asleep."


    "Yes! Exactly! How did you know, brother?"


    "Do you think it is the first time you sneak on my bed? If I have to count, it has been more than ten times!"


    "..."


    Allen looked at the girl who is his little sister before sighing.


    The girl shrugged her shoulders and left the bed.


    "Brother!"


    "Brother!"


    Suddenly, two figures barged inside the room and hugged Allen.


    "Nihan! Ren!"


    Allen eximed with a happy face and hugged them.


    Those two were his little brothers.


    Allen''s family consists of three sons and one daughter, a total family of 6. Allen is the oldest, his little sister Riya is the second oldest and his two brothers are twins and youngest.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Allen is already 19, while Riya is 16 and the twins are 12.


    Allen is the most responsible one that has taken care of his sisters and brothers. That''s why they are close to Allen and cling to him.


    "Where are mom and dad?"


    "They are in the lobby waiting for you."


    "Ok."


    Allen separated from his brothers and washed his face to freshen up.


    From today, it was summer vacation. While students were allowed to go to their homes, most didn''t go since their house is so far.


    That''s why some families came to the academy to meet their children. And if they have more children that are younger, they take them here to show the academy and encourage them to join here.


    Allen''s sister, Riya is also going to take the examination test next month. The yearly examination for new students is held right after summer vacation.


    "Brother!"


    Riya jumped at Allen like a monkey with a bright smile on her face and held on to Allen''s arm. The twin brothers also held on to Allen''s unused arm.


    They both clung to him like an iron sticking to a ma. Allen let out a small breath and walked outside.


    He arrived at the lobby where his parents were chatting without a care in the world. Just as they saw Allen, they both jumped at Allen.


    "Allen!"


    "My son!"


    The scene looked like a movie, with his two parents in the front, his sister on the right, and his brothers on the left. Only his back remained...


    ''What''s with this family?''


    Allen thought but he has long gotten used to this. It has been 3 years since Allen has transmigrated here. And he has met with this family more than 10 times.


    "Mom and dad, please let go of me. I understand these children, but why are you elderly clinging to me!"


    Allen grumbled with a straight face and could already guess the reply he would get.


    "We are not old enough to be called elderly!" His mom retorted.


    "And how is it bad to hug our son!" His father replied.


    Allen couldn''t help but sigh. But it was still better than most families. They were closer and more... enthusiastic.


    "Now, will you all get off me? It is hot."


    "OK"


    Everyone replied at the same time and unwillingly released Allen.


    ''Hah! What will I do with my family?''


    Allen chuckled looking at the dejected family members. His heart was warm and he was happy enough to get affection from them.


    With that, the episode of the Kin family started.

 Chapter 20 20 || Battle With Tier 3;SPEEDER Rhino

    [Edited by Dark_Ascender.] (Thank him for less typos and grammatical errors.)


    "Ain''t you guys going too early this time? It''s only been a day, and you are already leaving?"


    Allen asked.


    "Sorry son. I would love to spend more time with you, but... we have our work. " His father said with a gentle smile on his face.


    His mother patted his head and showed a motherly smile before hugging him. "I''m gonna miss you!!"


    "Yeah, yeah."


    "Brother. Just wait for us, we are gonna join this academy!"


    "Yeah, we will protect you then!"


    The two children hugged Allen.


    After the farewell, Allen looked at his sister.


    "So, I am stuck with you."


    "Of course."


    Riya smiled mischievously and stuck out her tongue.


    "Well, live well. I am going to the mountain to train."


    "Wait! Why now? Can''t you show the academy to your little sister? " Riya disagreed with a teary face.


    "Sorry, but I don''t have time to y with you."


    "Uuuu." Riya jumped at Allen and tried to hug him, but she got stuck in the air.


    "Huh...?" She looked below and found herself floating midair. Her face twitched, and she started moving her hands and legs.


    "What is this?!!! Why am I stuck?!!! Brother, help me!!!"


    Her eyes were on the verge of shedding tears, while her legs and hands moved like dying fish.


    Allen sighed and put her down.


    "What was that?" Riya sat on the ground, her legs gave up and she trembled. It was a horrible experience.


    "It''s ok."


    Allen puts his hands on her head and gently pats her like a gentle brother, showing a brotherly smile.


    "Can you now... go to your room? I will show you the academyter, ok."


    Riya nodded and stuck with her brother.


    Allen looked at her with pity as her legs didn''t respond to hermand and shook violently. Allen was somewhat, no, entirely at fault here, so he just carried her in his arms.


    Carrying her like a princess, he took her to her room, a guest room prepared for the family.


    He smoothlyid her on the bed and left the room.


    "Whew! Let''s go hunt the monsters."


    Allen flew toward the monster forest and reached it in twenty minutes. He entered the forest without a hint of hesitation.


    Previously, he just explored the outermost part of the forest, but this time, he stepped inside the inner part.


    He didn''t get that deep into the forest fearing meeting the stronger monsters.


    He met with various tier 2 monsters, and some tier 3. Those tiers 3 were easier to deal with since they weren''t mana users.


    Finally, he met with their 3 mana user monster. Speeder Rhino. Speeder Rhino, is a monster whose whole body is covered with a metal-like skin, a big pointy horn on its face, and a speed faster than a normal human.


    "Oh!"


    Allen raised his guard fully.


    Speeder Rhino charged at Allen with a quick speed. Its speed was indeed fast, but not that fast that could startle Allen.


    Allen smirked and raised his hand.


    Blue mana flowed out from his hand like strings and stuck with Speeder Rhino.


    Allen''s telekinesis grabbed the Speeder Rhino but...


    "Huh?"


    This was the first time Allen''s telekinesis failed. The mana got cut off before it could even grab the monster.


    "Shit!"


    Allen cursed and gritted his teeth. And attacked Speed Rhino with a Pyrost.


    A ball the size of a human head floated in the air.  One, two, three... In the blink of an eye,  more than ten fireballs fired at the Speeder Rhino.


    Boom!  Boom!


    The sound of explosions echoed inside the forest.  But Allen didn''t rx.  Just as he guessed,  the body of Speeder Rhino glowed  Golden color.


    The Golden Mana Shield,  the Speeder Rhino''s defense, easily handled the explosion. However,  Allen didn''t stop.  He repeatedly fired Pyrost,  energy st,  windst.  But those were all low leveled skills. And just tier 2.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Those skills could barely put a scratch on the Speeder Rhino barrier let alone its thick skin.


    Allen gritted his teeth and looked at the Speeder Rhino charging at him. He immediately used shadow art and dispersed inside the tree shadow.


    "Goarrr!!!"


    Speeder Rhino roared angrily and started to jump. Its huge body that had huge weight didn''t affect its jump.


    Thud! Thud!


    Thend shook as the Speeder Rhino jumped. The trees shook violently, and cracks appeared on thend. Constantly shaking off thend disrupts Allen''s skill. The tree shadow wavered as the tree''s leaves shook and blocked the sunlight.


    "Shit!"


    Allen cursed again and his skill canceled automatically because of theck of shadow.


    Allen red at the Speeder Rhino. He quickly cast the killing ray.


    A red ray of light shot at the Speeder Rhino. The thin red light was so fast and hot that it created a small hole in the barrier and skin of the Speeder Rhino.


    "Gaarrrrr!!!"


    Speeder Rhino scream in agony. Its skin melted down. The light wasparable to the drop of corrosive acid that would melt anything.


    A grin shed on Allen''s face. Like a superman who could destroy anything with his eyesser, Allen also emittedser from his fingers.


    He wanted the light to be thicker but his skill level was low, so he gave up.


    On the other hand, Speeder Rhino''s whole body was full of small holes. It wasn''t that serious since they were very small.


    Speeder Rhino''s eyes shed and its legs glowed in blue.


    !!!!


    Its speed got several times faster. It was the true ability/skill of Speeder Rhino to increase its speed five times.


    Just as Allen blinked, the Rhino had already closed the distance between them.


    "Oh fuck!!!"


    Bang!


    Speeder Rhino''s horn hit Allen. Fortunately, he immediately created a barrier with his telekinesis, so the damage wasn''t that critical.


    He flew ten meters away hitting the tree. He spat a mouthful of blood and panted heavily.


    "Huu! Haaa!"


    He took a deep breath.


    He didn''t have any more skills, so he had only two choices; run or fight to the death.


    Well, he could just run and get away but somewhere in his heart, he yearned to fight.


    He wanted to kill it. Just as he thought that a brilliant n came to his mind.


    "Am I stupid? Why didn''t I think of that earlier?!"


    He murmured and smiled. His grim expression turned into a yful one.


    "Who said I have to stick to the ground when I can just fly? Haha!"


    Allenughed creepily like a madman and activated his telekinesis.


    He flew in the sky. He has better control over his telekinesis now, so bncing himself in the air is easier than before.


    "Nowe at me, you little rascal."


    Allen provoked the Speedy Rhino like a kid teasing his pet.


    Speeder Rhino roared and red menacingly at Allen. Allen wasn''t that high, so it appeared below Allen in a blink of an eye.


    It jumped and raised its horn trying to poke Allen but Allen immediately raised his altitude and Rhino pierce the air.


    As itnded, its force shook thend. Speeder Rhino jumped repeatedly like a cat trying to catch the cattail but to prevail it couldn''t reach Allen.


    Speeder Rhino''s speed decreased, sweat covered its whole body and its barrier dimmed before vanishing in the thin air.


    Ity on the ground tired from all the jumping and exhausting its mana storage.


    Finally, Allennded down and touched the forehead of Speeder Rhino.


    Speeder Rhino raised its head and gritted its teeth since it didn''t have any energy left in its body.


    "Bye-bye, buddy. It was fun to y with you."


    Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!


    Many red rays of light pierced Speeder Rhino''s forehead and pierced its brain.


    Before it could even scream in agony, the soul left its body.


    "Phew!"


    Allen breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.

 Chapter 21 21 || New Skill

    [Edited by Dark_Ascender]


    "Haah! That was close. If I didn''t think that I could just fly and fight him, I would be branded as an idiot who ran away"


    Allen muttered to himself while stuffing the Speeder Rhino''s body inside his storage ring.


    "Now that I think about it, I ignored the system notification afterpleting that pain in the ass quest,"


    Allen called out the status and started examining the changes of the system.


    [Allen Kin]

    (Notification History)


    (Market: Due to low level, this function isn''t avable.)]


    "Ohh! These are quite some changes. Hm... Notification history? What is this?"


    Getting curious, Allen clicked on the button and another interface opened. However, the window this time was vertical and long, like a list, unlike a horizontal window.


    [Notification (Currently Silent)]


    (Latest Notification)


    [Ding! You have gained 2 Skill Points by killing Tier 3 Speeder Rhino]

    [Ding! First Quest quire]


    ....


    "Woah! But, let''s active the notification first. Or, I will miss some important notifications."


    [Notification (Currently Silent)]


    [Notification (Currently Active)]


    Allen''s eyes shone brightly like a child.


    "Hmmm! Let''s return for now."


    He stretched his arms and flew to the academy. While flying, he checked his storage ring, which he got as a reward forpleting the quest.


    The ring was silverish and a stone that looked like a diamond but shone more brightly than a diamond was put on it. As Allen put his mana inside the ring, he got a full view of the item that was on the ring.


    [Ding! (Inventory) has been added into the system skill]


    Suddenly, a notification appeared startling Allen since he hadn''t heard the notification sound for quite a time.


    As the notification disappeared, a small window appeared.


    [Inventory (Linked with Storage Ring)]


    (Some Details: This inventory is linked with a storage ring, so the host can see the items inside the storage ring without needing put mana inside it. However, the inventory doesn''t have its own space, so you can put items inside the storage ring and take it out, but if the storage ring is full, it can''t store more items. [One-time message])


    -Mid Tier silver Healing Potion (x10)


    -Corpse of Speeder Rhino


    (More than 49 Cubic meters of space left)


    "Hmm... This is quite interesting."


    Before even realizing it, Allen has already reached the academy. But hended down and directly went toward the library.


    He got (Auto Skill Learn), so he wanted to check it out while also enhancing his power.


    After entering the library, he started grabbing books. He took quite a lot of books.


    "Since I have many offensive skills, this time I should learn supportive, defensive, and speed skills."


    Allen decided. He flipped the book [Golden Defensive Shield]


    Just as he turned, his eyes glowed blue and the books seemed to be like a single text.


    [Golden Defensive Shield]


    [Tier: 3 (Mid-Grade)]


    [Effect: Cover the body with golden mana (Block every attack up to Low-Grade Tier 3 Attacks), Create a Golden Sheild in front of the caster (Blocks attacks up to Tier 2 Attacks)]<novelnext></novelnext>


    [Do you wish to learn this skill (Yes) / (No) [Ps: Cost 2 skill point]]


    "Huh? I didn''t sign up for this. Why do I have to pay to learn this skill?!!"


    Allenined in a small voice so as not to getbeled as a crazy person and disturb others.


    [Nothing is free in this world. Pay for the service and be a good person.]


    Allen narrowed his eyes and red at the screen but sighed since there is no point in arguing. The system is right, nothing is free in the world.


    [Ding! Thanks for paying :D :D :D]


    [Learned (Golden Defensive Shield)]


    "Haah."


    After that, he flipped the pages of other books and gained the minimum concept of these.


    [Slippery Feet]


    [Blessing]


    [Minor Curse]


    [Quick Speed]


    [Palm Laser]


    [Roar]


    "Whew!"


    Allen put his head on the desk and calmed down. His eyes wandered toward other students who were diligently studying the books.


    Allen stood getting bored. He wanted to check the skill, he acquired. But unlike paying for the skill, he didn''t get any other notification of him learning the skill, so the skill mustn''t be registered into the system.


    [Skill(s): (Spark - 1), [Telekinesis - 4 (+)], [Energy st- 3 (+)], [Pyrost - 3 (+)], [Windst - 2 (+)], (Efficient Mana Control - 2), (Shadow Art -1), [Killing Ray - 2 (+)], (Golden Defensive Shield)]


    ''Just as expected.''


    He exited the building and flew toward the ground he always practice his skill.


    "Now, time to shine!"


    shing a grin like an idiot, Allen raised his arm and cast "Palm Laser!"


    Of course, he cautiously directed the mana inside his mana vein and formed a pattern. The blue mana changed into red and his palm glowed bright red.


    Zoom!


    A thick line of red light fired at the ground. The sand turned dark and a small hole formed with smoke rising.


    The hole width was enough for a person''s head to enter, but not wider to stuff the whole body. And it reached nearly 10m.


    "Ohh! It''s OP!"


    Allen eximed in joy.


    He directed his mana again and cast "Blessing!"


    His blue mana glowed into small particles like dust and changed its color into yellow. And the yellowish mana particles got absorbed by Allen''s body and glowed bright yellow.


    He could feel his strength increasing, he felt he has more energy.


    [Ding! Strength increased by 5, Stamina increased by 8 (All effects are temporary)


    This skill temporarily increased one stats and consumed some amount of mana per minute. But for Allen, mana wasn''t a problem, so he can just leave this skill intact without caring.


    But, walking on the street while glowing seems weird, since he couldn''t hide the glow, he thought of turning off the skill and only activating it when going to the monster forest.


    After that, he cast "Slippery Feet!"


    His feet felt lighter like a feather. But when he stepped forward, the ground felt like ice. It was not that type of ice that will break on impact, but more slippery. Just with a step, he was wiggling like the tentacles of an octopus.


    Just bncing himself became hard, and as he lost his control, his feet slipped even on the sand and reached toward the tree that was 20m away in 5 seconds.


    It would have been good if he could stop reaching the tree, but he had no control over his movement, and he immediately canceled slippery feet, but before the skill could have beenpletely canceled, he banged himself on the tree.


    His face kissed the tree like a lover and his forehead and nose turned red.


    "Ow! Ow! Let''s not use this skill most often. I will be killed by this skill before the monster will kill me."


    Allen let out a small breath and cast another skill "Quick Speed!"


    His whole body glowed again but this time it only glowed for a moment and the light disappeared. He got the feeling that his body is lighter than a feather.


    Just as he step, his speed was fast enough for the sand to blow up. He walked, but his step was quicker and faster. With each step, small wind creates. And as he ran, he pierced the air. But, his body became hotter.


    With the speed faster than a train, the friction from the air caused his body to generate heat. Just running for 2 minutes was enough for his body to sweat like a river. His body felt dry and he felt dehydrated.


    "I want water."


    He murmured, but he had no water skill. "I should learn water skills, next time."


    He sighed and returned to his room where he drank fifty sses of water in a row.


    Riya who was reading a skill book on Allen''s bed looked at Allen with shock on her face thinking, ''Did he empty all the liquid inside his body?!''

 Chapter 22 22 || Mercenary

    "Hey brother, why is it so boring here?"


    Riya asked lying on the bed like azy person.


    "Because there is nothing better here. You can study skills, or explore the academy, or maybe go hunt the monster."


    "Yeah! Let''s go hunt down it!"


    Bam!


    A fistnded on Riya''s face, with a teary face she patted it andined. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Don''t you have a mouth! Why do you have to hit me?"


    "Because you are spouting nonsense. You are just a tier 2 magician, and you want to go hunting down the monster. Grow up first, my little sister."


    "Uuuu! I am already 16 and you still treat me like a kid!"


    "Because you.are.a.kid! Understand!"


    "But!"


    "No buts. I will take you to the monster forest if you learn two tiers 2 skills by tomorrow."


    "What?! By tomorrow? I am not a genius, bro. It will at least take 2 to 3 days toprehend one skill for me. And you are asking me two! That''s not fair!"


    "Yeah yeah. Then keep quiet."


    "Hmph! Aren''t you just tier 0, yourself, what right do you ha-"


    Bam!


    "Ow! Ow! Use your fucking mouth! Not fist!"


    "Then stop bbering."


    "But it is right..." Riya said in a low voice fearing getting punched again.


    Swoosh!


    A fireball, the size of a head appeared in Allen''s hand that blew away Riya.


    "B-brother..."


    "Yes, my dear sister."


    "D-Did you advanced... into tier 3?"


    Riya felt the pure mana and strong aura flowing out from Allen''s body. She gulped and smiled drily.


    "Yeah."


    "What the hell? Isn''t it been like one... no two months since I saw you? At that time, you were just tier 0! How did you advance so quickly? It took me 4 years to advance into tier 2!"


    "That''s still good. Some people take 5 years while some 6."


    "Haha... But real genius-"


    "Yeah! Those at my age have already surpassed tier 6."


    An awkward silence appeared, but Allen sighed and stood.


    "Haah! I am bored. It''s not my style to stay indoors."


    Allen stretched his arms.


    "Yeah. Let''s go."


    "Where are you going?" Seeing Riya standing up, Allen became curious.


    "The ce where you are going."


    ''So, you are following me."


    "Yeah, any problem?"


    "Don''t you think, your brother could be going on a date? So, don''t follow me, just stay in your room."


    "Pfft! You who have never even touched a woman''s hand are saying that you are going to date. That was a funny joke."


    B-


    "Stop! No violence."


    "Then just stay here!"


    "Whyyyyy?"


    "Because...."


    "Yes."


    ...


    "You have no reason to refuse, right? So, let''s go."


    "Ok, princess."


    "Yay!"


    Allen sighed as he looked at the energetic little sister.


    *****(Allen Academy Exploration wille soon.)*****


    Plop!


    "Waa! That was fun. The academy is so big."


    "Yeah yeah. Go to your room now." Allen said showing a tried expression.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "No! I want to sleep here with you."


    "Ok. Sleep well, I am going to sleep in your room."


    "Wait! I want to sleep ''Together''."


    "In your dreams."


    "Nooo!"


    m!


    Allen kicked out Riya from his room and mmed the door closed. She couldn''t do anything but go back to her room.


    "Whew!"


    Allen slept in his bed peacefully.


    Next day-


    Allen slipped out from the academy before Riya woulde to bother him. He walked toward the ck market casually, but before he enter the street that lead to the ck market. His attention shifted to the huge building with a sign ''Mercenary Guild''


    He halted his step and changed his direction toward that building.


    As he entered inside, a ce half tavern and half guild revealed. Tables and chairs with people sitting on them while eating breakfast, a big notice board with several requests stuck on it, and a receptionist table with a young girl in her twenties standing behind it with a smile on her face.


    This all seemed like a fantasy novel, a ce that Allen didn''t care about. Now that he thinks about it, he should take some requests. Taking a request gives more money than acting without taking one.


    For example, if one would take a request of a Tier 3 monster corpse, and he willplete it, he would get additional money for the service along with the price of the corpse. And additional corpse equals additional money.


    "Let''s get registered as a mercenary."


    Allen thought. He walked toward the receptionist girl.


    "Hello sir, how may I help you?" She softly said. Her voice was melodious like a tune that would attract any person. Not only was her voice, but her appearance was also top-notch. She had huge melons that added sexiness to her body.


    She was wearing a normal dress, but her body was slim and had perfect curves, which made her look like an idol from the earth.


    Anyway, Allen shook his head and removed all dirty thoughts from his head. He looked like a monk who had far suppressed his worldly desire.


    "I want to register as a mercenary."


    "Really?" The girl pped her hand and a joyous expression formed on her face.


    "We werecking some manpower. Thank you for joining. Please just fill this paper."


    "Wut? It''s this easy?"


    "Hmm? Yeah. What else will there be?"


    Cough! "Nothing"


    Allen looked at the form, there were all basic things like name, height, ss, tier, and age.


    Allen filled out the form in some minutes and handed it back to the girl.


    She then took out a device that had one big purple crystal on top of it, with two openings. One looked like an entrance and another exit.


    As the girl put the from in the device and fill the crystal with her mana. The crystal glowed brightly and a small card came out of another end like a receipt,


    "Here."


    Allen was dumbfounded, he didn''t think that bing a mercenary was this easy. Not only that, the device was amazing as heck. It just converted a paper into a card.


    Realizing the shocked expression on Allen''s face, the girl chuckled. "Are you surprised to see this thing?"


    "Yeah."


    "Isn''t this thing amazing? It made my work much easier. This device is called, a card maker."


    "Cardmaker?"


    "Yeah. ording to what I heard, this device circtes the mana inside it and scans the paper,presses it, and creates a small portable card."


    She described the function with a gleam in her eyes. Allen stares at her for a moment before asking.


    "Can I go and check the request?"


    "Ohh!" Her sense came back to reality. "You can go. Sorry for keeping you." She bowed her head.


    Allen nodded and looked at the notice board.


    [Need Tier 3 (me Tiger) Corpse - Reward: 10,000 gold coins for corpse,5,000 gold coins for the service.]


    [In urgent need of 10 Tier 4 (Magic Cores) any monster would do - Reward: 8,000 gold coins per magic coin and 15,000 gold coins for service.]


    [My baby is lost, please find her...]


    ...


    Allen blinked his eyes repeatedly looking at the list. The price of all of them was good, he could also get additional money for his service.


    But he didn''t feel the need to take one, why, it felt boring.


    "Urgent need of Mage! A tier above 2, please join our party!"


    "Huh?"


    Suddenly, an announcement came out in the building. A child who just looks 10 or 11 years old was shouting at the crowd.


    "Hmm. Interesting. I should try joining a party."


    Allen grinned. He walked toward the boy and said. "I will join."

 Chapter 23 23: Joining Team

    [Edited by Dark_Ascender]


    "I will join."


    Hearing this word stuns the boy, his eyes widen. He didn''t think that anyone would join the team, let alone a mage and at much of tier 3.


    Mage is given prestige in society since a mage can use the skill of every ss. Let it be warrior, swordsman, assassin, or other things. Mage only does not have the physical ability, skill is their best hold.


    A mage can save the lives of others and take them also. That''s why they are feared and arebeled as the prestigious ss.


    Also, their physical ability is enhanced by the skill. Under all the sses'' mana, the mages have the purest and strongest mana.


    "A-Are you sure?"


    The boy came back to his sense and looked at Allen with eyes full of doubts.


    ''Is he really going to join?''


    The boy thought, but he looked at Allen and realized he hadn''t seen him in the mercenary hall previously. So, either he may be a recruit or may have transferred here. But Allen''s age was young, so he could be a recruit.


    ''Maybe he doesn''t know about us.'' The boy thought and smiled drily.


    "Brother, what are your ss and tier?" The boy asked politely.


    "Tier 3 mage," Allen said indifferently.


    Hearing Allen''s statement shocked the boy. Sweat formed on his forehead, but he quickly calmed down.


    "Are you new here?"


    The boy asked. Mages rarely participate in mercenary activities. Unlike other sses, even the lowest academy that teaches magic is supported by a big family.


    Let alone tier 3, even tier 1 mages are treated well. While money may be a problem, food and shelter, and a job in the future is guaranteed by the academy.


    So, rarely do magese into the mercenary. But if you have the ability, the academy itself takes mages into the forest to hunt. The money that came from there is divided among students. Rich student and teacher don''t care about money, so all the money are given to poor students.


    ''Why did hee here?'' The boy blinked his eye but sighed. It wasn''t his business to inquire anyway.


    ''Oh well, who cares about the reason anyway.''


    "Yes," Allen replied to the boy who was lost in his thought.


    The boy jumped back hearing the reply. He took a deep breath and was going to talk but...


    "Hey, kid. Have you recruited the mage?" A rough voice sounded in the hall.<novelnext></novelnext>


    A bald man with a creepy smile that makes you want to punch him entered with another man following him.


    He had a long sword hanging on his back while another man had a two ax behind him. While one looked like a mountain bandit, another looked like a person who should work at a government office. The man followed the bald man with a dark circle in his eye, and he looked like a serious person, the kind you would find in an overworkingpany, or much clearly known as a ckpany.


    The boy shrank down, his smiling face turned grim. Unlike before, he looked like a different person. His eyes narrowed down, and his head lowered like it was his habit. He looked like a child bullied by an adult. The kind you know, where adult throws all the small work from sending to buy cigarettes to whiskey and do all sort of simple task, the child looked like one.


    "Y-yes..." The boy answered in a low voice. His enthusiasm has gone down to zero.


    "This is the gentleman who is going to join us." The boy pointed to Allen. He gulped down his saliva and continued. "He is a tier 3 mage, a new mercenary. He joined...uhhh..."


    "Recently. I only joined a few minutes ago." Allen filled in the words that the boys didn''t know.


    "Ohh." The bald man smiled yfully. His eyes showed some surprise, but he calmed down.


    "I-I will introduce you to the boss of this team. H-He is...."


    Before the boy was going to introduce the bald man, the man patted his head roughly and examined Allen.


    "I am Ackerley. A tier 5 warrior. Thed beside me is Donyoku. He is a tier 4 swordsman."


    "Hello. I am Allen, a tier 3 mage. And this boy..." Allen pointed at the boy who is lowering his head like a servant.


    "I am... Raul. I am only 12 years old. I have to check my ss in the Academy ss Examination event."


    The boy answered softly fearing the bald man. Allen ignored his problem. It wasn''t like it was his business. He didn''t feel sorry for his decision to follow this guy.


    Allen''s attention diverted to the Academy ss Examination. It was an event that is famous all over the city and town.


    This is a yearly event thatsts for a month. All the academies of different ces hold a ceremony that examines a child''s ss.


    A person only gets a ss after they reach 12 years old. If they don''t have any ss, they will automatically bebeled as a farmer orckey. But they are rare, one in a million only turns out with no ss.


    His two brothers are also going to check their sses at this event. One couldn''t know their ss automatically, it is like an awakening process, but the ss is already inside the person and it is only revealed to the outside world.


    After the ss process, all the academies recruit these children.


    Presently, Allen shook his hand with Ackerley. They both smiled like businessmen.


    "Wee to the team."


    "Yeah. d to join you."


    ***********

 Chapter 24 24: First Team Battle

    Quiet dark forest, where rays of light peek through the gaps of leaves, brightening the forest enough for a person to see the surrounding.


    The footsteps of four people reverberated. A bald man with his long sword hanging on his back, an overworked person with two small axes on his back, a kid who has a dagger and a bag on his back, and finally Allen, who don''t have anything but clothes on his body.


    Ackerley the bald man looked behind. "We are going to hunt ten Tier 4 Komodian. They are fierce and dangerous. So, only three of us aren''t enough for this quest. So, thanks for joining." He said with a little bit of gratitude in his voice.


    "Oh." Allen was indifferent. He didn''t care about the reason at all.


    "Also, we are going deeper inside the forest, so there is a risk of encountering a much stronger monster, so d to have you here."


    Both of them chatted, but not for too long. Allen was an introvert, somunication wasn''t his stronghold.


    As they walked deeper inside, the light decreased due to the party of trees that are covering the whole sky with their leaves. And their density is too much, making Allen want to cut all of them down and go on a rampage.


    But he can''t do that unless he wants to get strangled by the branches of trees and a horde of monsters chasing him.


    With the dead silence on the way, they reached deeper inside and found five tier 3 monstersying on the ground, sleeping.


    "Shh!" Ackerley stopped on his track. He point at the tier 3 monster and whispered at the trio.


    "Let''s kill them quietly. Donyoku on the left, I will kill the right one. Allen just finishes any one of them."


    Instructing themand, Ackerley took out his long sword. Donyoku also equipped his two axes. The boy known as Raul stayed behind since he can''t do anything to those monsters.


    "Ok." They nodded and looked fiercely at the monsters.


    Ackerley took the lead, Donyoku followed him and Allen stayed with Raul raising his hands to cast a spell.


    Ackerley nodded and raised his hand to make out a go sign. With this signal, both of them jumped at each monster and stabbed them. The sharpness of the sword with Ackerley''s strength was enough to pierce the monster''s defense, killing it with one strike.


    Donyoku stabbed both of his axes at the head of the monster, directly piercing the brain of the monster.


    On the other hand, Allen used a killing ray. The thin red ray of sharp light zoomed at one of the tier 3 monsters prating its head defense and exiting from its opposite side. One-hit KO.


    Again, Allen used Energy st. The ball of energy exploded near two tiers 3 monsters. The force tossed both of the monsters 2 meters away. They vomited mouthfuls of blood.


    Before the monsters could stand, two balls of fire burnt them. The smell of burning meat drifted in the air, the defense crumbled and the skin burnt until it turned crispy ck.


    The monsters couldn''t withstand the pain coupled with the previous attack, they died without effort.


    Donyoku and Ackerley both were stunned. They didn''t imagine a tier 3 mage can kill their tier 3 monster with this ease. They both could kill one or two tier 3 monsters but it would still be a little risk. But Allen killed three of these monsters without even going near them.


    Swordsman and Warrior are both closebat sses, so they were jealous of Allen''s skills.


    "You are quite powerful,d." Ackerley praised.


    "No, it''s nothing." Allen smiled.


    "Don''t be modest. I heard mages are powerful but I didn''t expect them to be this powerful."<novelnext></novelnext>


    ...


    Allen didn''t respond making the atmosphere a little awkward.


    Ackerley sighed and ordered Raul to cut these monsters and put them inside the backpack.


    It took some minutes to put all of the meat, skin, and core inside the backpack. After that, they continued their journey.


    After walking for ten minutes, they encountered two  Komodian. The monsters were walking around with their two legs. The two hands were used in carrying the meat of Tier 3. Their height was 2 times greater than that of an average man reaching up to 9 to 11 feet.


    Their stomach had a pocket that was filled with fruits and other items. A body of a human was also in the pouch.


    From their appearance, Allen thought that they were simr to kangaroos. But more fierce, bigger, and strong.


    "Get ready, They are quite powerful," Ackerley warned and took his stance. Donyoku followed his lead, the boy ran behind taking a cover at the tree so as not to be a burden.


    Allen stood behind and raised his arm casting pyrost. Two balls of fire hovered around Allen before charging at the Komodian.


    Following the fireball, the two mercenaries jumped at the  Komodian. As the fireball exploded, the two  Komodian jumped back. They were quick and only suffered some minor injuries.


    Suddenly, a swing of sword hit one  Komodian, its defense was tough. So, it didn''t pierce its skin but give it a little damage.


    On its left, another Komodian was attacked by the axes. It was a sneak attack, so the komodian suffered some damage, but with its tough defense, it wasn''t serious.


    Both Komodian again jumped back. Their jumping was too high, as it reached 5 feet above the ground. They created some distance between the humans, only to get shot by two more fireballs and an energy st.


    The fire burnt them a little, and the energy st threw them back.


    Roar!


    Komodian roared with fury. They red at the humans intending to chew them. Their eyes turned red, and their whole body covered with a red aura.


    They both jumped back, however this time, their jump reached 12 feet above the sky. Theynded at Allen.


    Allen immediately felt the danger and used Quick Speed. He ran from there, but the quick speed was still difficult to handle, so he barely managed to bnce himself and didn''t fall to the ground.


    Boom! Thud!


    As theynded at the ce where Allen previously was, the wholend crumbled before them. A pit of 2 feet deep formed, and the impact of thend created a huge shockwave throwing Ackerley and Donyoku.


    They both fell to the ground and suffered some damage but fortunately, they were far from the Komodian so, they only suffered small damage. Otherwise, they could have died.


    Cold sweat dripped from Allen''s neck, it was his first time facing Tier 4 monster. He took a deep breath and cast:


    "Blessing. Minor Curse."


    *******To Be Continued*********

 Chapter 25 25: Escaped

    "Blessing! Minor Curse!"


    Allen''s body glowed brightly like a glowing fish. The dark forest glowed brightly and the monster covered their eyes as they couldn''t bear this bright light because of their habit of staying in dark ces.


    Not long after, a dark ck smoke appeared out of Allen''s n and formed in a shape of a skeleton head A.K.A skull. Without a further ado, the skull separated into two and forcefully entered the two monsters'' bodies.


    [Ding! Blessing Activated.]


    [Strength increased by 5, Stamina increased by 8. (Temporary)]


    [Ding! Minor Curse Activated.]


    [Strength decreased by 10, Stamina decreased by 8, Agility decreased by 12, Mana decreased by 15, Health decreased by 2 (Continuously)]


    [Ding! Enemy level is low, Minor Curse will work at its full capacity.]


    [Additional Effect, All Stats decreased by 1 obtained (Permanent)]


    Hiss!


    Allen gasped looking at the effect of a minor curse. Not only it took a huge amount of mana from him, it is also continuous.


    He could feel his mana leaving his body like air, without any limit. But fortunately, he had infinite mana. The mana that simply left his body isparable to tier 2 mage mana.


    Just imagine, a skill that uses all mana of a tier 2 mage, not one time but continuously per minute. How dangerous it is.


    As long as you have reached Sage-Realm, it will be affordable and can be used for one or two days at most.


    Reminding, Sage-Realm mage mana is 1000 times denser, purer, andrger than tier 2.


    Coming back to the present, the red aura of the tier 4 monster, Komodian decreased by a lot. Early, it could see the red aura covering their body was dense. So dense, that it literally covered their body in dark red making it hard to see their body.


    Now, it was dim, like a fire with nothing to burn. Burning but slowly extinguishing by itself.


    "Heh!"


    Like a beggar who was insulted by a rich man, but after a time, he became rich and mocked the rich man, Allen felt the same.


    He smirked, his heart was filled with superiority but that didn''tst long.


    He immediately used "Quick Speed!" and sped up his dash. In an instant, he reached near the Komodian and punched it with his full strength,


    However, even if the Komodian was weakened by the curse, its defense was still there. Allen hit pushed back the Komodian by 10 steps but can''t afford to give any good damage. It was like a level 10 fighter hitting a level 15 monster. Gives damage but not that much.


    "Tch!"


    Allen clicked his tongue feeling annoyed by the defense of Komodian.


    "WAHHHRRRRR!"


    The Komodian roared with fury, its eyes redden, and it spits a mouthful of blood due to mana deficiency. But it didn''t stop. It felt like it was insulted.


    Komodian roared again and a redser leap out from its mouth. Theser zoomed toward Allen withering every grass in its way. Theser seemed dangerous, too dangerous that Allen''s spidey sense tingled.


    The width of theser surpassed 5 meters. Allen immediately cast a killing ray and palmzer. Those two mixed into one and became a little bigger, but inparison to the Komodianzer, it looked like Allen''szer is a son of that Komodianzer.


    But, it was enough to decrease the power of theser. Allen immediately cast Golden Defensive Shield. A golden light covered Allen''s body and a golden barrier appeared in front of him.


    Boom!


    Theser hit the barrier, and it easily breaks it apart, and it hit Allen.


    "Arg!"


    Allen spout a mouthful of blood, but he didn''t get a critical hit. If the two barriers and theser didn''t decrease theser power, Allen would have surely turned into ash in a second.


    ''Whew!"


    He breathe a sigh of relief, he took a potion from his storage ring, and drink it. He didn''t drink it all, he could store the potion for future use. He only drank a mouthful of it and another three or so mouthfuls of the potion were left in the potion bottle.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He put the potion back into his ring. He felt good as took a breath. The potion quickly kick in, and his minor injury disappeared.


    He red at the Komodian, but the Komodian already fell on the ground. It died due to mana deficiency and overused of mana. Overuse is only a term, the komodian used mana to the point where a single drop of mana was also not left inside its body.


    The remaining Komodian whimpered, it shrank down. Its body trembled and due to its instinct, it felt terrifying. The terrifying power of Allen made the Komidiany on the ground covering its head with its hand quivering.


    An evil smile appeared on Allen''s face. He raised his arms and cast "Minor Curse"


    [Ding! Minor Curse Activated.]


    [Strength decreased by 10, Stamina decreased by 8, Agility decreased by 12, Mana decreased by 15, Health decreased by 2 (Continuously)]


    [Ding! Enemy level is low, Minor Curse will work at its full capacity.]


    [Additional Effect, Health decreased by 50%]


    "Minor Curse"


    Allen cast it again to check if it can stack up or not. If it could, the skill would too op.


    [Ding! Minor skill is already in use. The skill can''t stack up.]


    "Shi!"


    Allen cursed feeling depressed. His skill wasn''t that op now, since it can''t be stack up.


    Allen stare at the Komodian whose body is shaking so hard. Blood slowly dripped out from its nose.


    [Ding! Enemy health has decreased by 55%]


    Allen guessed it would take a heck amount of time for the monster to die. 2 Hp lost per minute is soo low.


    His mana will leave the body per minute and the hp lost effect will take effect.


    It was too slow.


    Allen continuously used palmser. After using the palmser 10 times, the Komodian finally died.


    "Phew!"


    Alem heaved a sigh and looked at his surrounding. He noticed that hispanions were missing. He didn''t even remember that he was with a team.


    He just forgot about them...


    ...


    Finally, Allen realized that he was abandoned. They escaped the ce while Allen was risking his life fighting the monster!


    Anger filled Allen''s body. It would be fine if they only escaped, but they also took 5 Tier 3 monster bodies that would get 5000 gold.


    Allen sighed. He extinguished his anger as it wasn''t worth it for them. He examined his surroundings and found a cave a little farther.


    It wouldn''t seem long, but Allen fought with these monsters for nearly 15 minutes. With additional 5 minutes to rest and put the monster body inside his storage ring.


    He walked inside the cave expecting to get treasures.


    ''Treasure! Here Ie!!!''


    Allen''s angry mood turned into a happy one.


    With his speed, he reached the cave in 1 minute. But when he entered inside, Allen''s body trembled.


    Rage filled his body again, and Allen''s eyes turned red.


    "THOSE FUCKING BASTARDS!!!"

 Chapter 26 26: Tier 5 Monster

    Inside the dark cave, the ground was covered with leaves. It looked like it was a nest of something simr to it.


    Across there, a huge treasure chest and a small pit were there.


    Allen looked inside the treasure chest, it was empty. Not even a single penny was there.


    And inside the pit, a broken mirror was thrown...


    Allen picked up the mirror, there wasn''t anything special to it. It was normal, everyone including his sister used this type of mirror.


    Allen could feel the trace of mana that lingered around the treasure chest.


    A skill was used to open the treasure chest, no it was used to break the lock of a treasure chest.


    Allen realized who this owner of mana was.


    Allen former a first and gritted his teeth. A huge frown formed on his face. An evil smile hovered and he cast pyrost destroying the cave.


    "You guys will pay for this."


    Allen murmured.


    Houuuuuuu!!!


    Suddenly, a cry echoes from behind. Allen''s hair stood, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. His spidey sense tingled like hell, Without thinking for a moment, Allen ran outside the cave and hid behind a tree.


    The monster looked like a gori but his body was smaller in size. It was around 5 ft tall. But its muscle was big and it had rage in its eye. The monster looked at the cave with a fierce look, a look that harbored every killing intent possible.


    But fortunately, it didn''t care about Allen at all. The monster smelled around and suddenly became alert. Without batting an eye at Allen, the monster leaped into the air and ran in a sh.


    In an instant, it disappeared leaving a trail of mana.


    "Haah!"


    Allen rxed... The pressure that felt like tens of blue whales sitting on its head disappeared.


    "So, that was a tier 5... monster."


    Allen''s heart throbbed heavily. He decided to follow the monster, and find out what is it chasing.


    Of course, Allen won''t go even near that thing, he will observe the situation from hundred feet away in the sky.


    Not only that, he won''t even dare to offend it, why? Because he would be simply courting death. Not only tier 5 has a high defense that even his killing rays and palmser can prate, but even if it could prate, Allen won''t be alive to cast that.


    Only the pressure is enough to injure Allen heavily, and if Allen only gets a hit from its skill, Allen won''t even get to scream.


    Flying in the sky, Allen slowly followed the trail. With the madness of the monster that didn''t even care about its surroundings and only followed the path, Allen could guess what is it about.


    ...


    "W-Why did we escape?"


    Raul shrinks down, his head lowered slowly carrying the heavy bag. It wasn''t due to his strength that he could carry that bag, it was that the bag was tier 2. It has a weight reduction spell array that reduced the bag weight to only some kilos.


    Even if he carried 100 kg items/goods/body/just anything inside the bag, the weight of the bag won''t cross 1kg.


    "D-Did we go right? By escaping and leaving him alone with those monsters."


    He looked up and again said softly with a trace of guilt in his voice.


    "Huh? What''s right and wrong?" Ackerley sneered. "Forget about that brat, he is strong. At least he may have injured those tier 4 monsters, but he still may have died. He is just a tier 3 mage, even if he is a little bit strong."


    An evil smile covered Ackerley''s face, he had a satisfied look on his face.


    "Didn''t we survive that catastrophe? If we didn''t leave those monsters to him, he wouldn''t have gained this much treasure."


    Ackerley took out a creature from Raul''s bag. The monster was small and looked cute. It just looked like a baby bear, but at the size of a palm.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Just look at this tier 5 monster''s baby. If we sell it, we will get millions of gold. We will be rich! If we just fight with those tier 4 monsters, we may have killed them easily. But we would be killed by tier 5 monster."


    "B-But, how did you know there was a tier 5 monster nearby?" Raul asked feeling guilty and depressed.


    "It was due to this artifact." Ackerley took out a stone from his pocket. The stone was white.


    "This stone glows when a monster is nearby. The more brighter it glows, the stronger the monster is. And you know, I immediately called you guys over, and we raided the cave. That brat must have fallen into despair when he didn''t see his teammate. Hahaha." Heughed like a madman.


    Raul looked down while Donyoku didn''t even care.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a figure passed by them. The mercenaries immediately raise their guard and took a fighting stance.


    The shadowy figure that passed by them returned toward them at a great speed. It jumped andnded near them.


    Boom!


    A huge hole formed as the bearnded. An angry expression full of killing intent shed in front of the trio.


    "Oh shit!"


    Ackerley cursed.


    Thump!


    A pressure made the three of them kneel. Raul who was just a child couldn''t even lift his head and stick to the ground like he was glued to it.


    Ackerley barely held his head. He looked at the tier 5 monster. Despair and fear shed in his eyes, as the bear walked in front of them.


    The bear whose child was stolen couldn''t hold its killing intent. Raul vomited a mouthful of blood. His ear and nose started bleeding.


    Ackerley was in a little good condition as only blood flowed out from his nose and ear.


    But, Donyoku wasn''t even affected.


    He first knelt, but after a moment, an aura covered his body.


    A ck aura that looked evil at a sight filled his entire body. He stood and nced at the duo who was kneeling.


    He ignored them and looked at Allen who was flying in the air many times far from this ce.


    And finally, he looked at the bear in front of him.


    Instantly, the bear took a step back, Allen''s eyes widen and he flew even further,


    Raul didn''t know what was going on.


    But Ackerley stares at Donkoyku with wide eyes. His eyes widen to the point where they could just pop out.


    Cracks appeared in Donyouku''s body. An evil aura emitted out of his body, and his skin broke down.


    White skin was revealed from the broken skin. The middle-aged face was reced with a young one. ck eyes reced the brown eyes. in lips were reced with a red one.


    And finally, the man''s face was reced with a woman''s.


    Hiss!


    Ackerley held his breath, a shocked expression appeared on Allen''s face.


    The middle-aged man turned out to be a young girl!


    The human I thought turned out to be a devil!


    ******

 Chapter 27 27: Demonic Energy

    Allen followed the Tier 5 monster from the sky.


    As the monster leapt out from the bush andnded near the trio, it froze. The bear monster red at them and pushed them down with its pressure.


    It was fine until the middle-aged man who didn''t have much presence and was mostly quiet stood ignoring the monster''s aura.


    Dark aura released from his body. And he became she, him became her, his chest swollen and a huge rack came out.


    The wrinkled face became beautiful.


    It was totally defying gender rule!


    A beautiful girl wearing a purple one-piece dress. The clothes reached up to her legs. The clothes were quite tight as the outline of the chest could be seen clearly.


    Allen nearly got a nosebleeding.


    But the scariest part of her transformation was the dark aura. The evil energy emitted out of her body, making her look evil and domineering.


    The cold face scowled at the bear. As her gazended on the bear, a huge amount of energy emitted making the bear kneel down.


    Even Allen was affected. His body nearly fell down.


    But he maintained his bnce and endured the pressure while gritting his teeth.


    She looked at the duo who were kneeling down. With a gaze that looked scarier than a ghost, Ackerley''s head banged on the ground.


    Blood gushed out from his head, his eyes and nose bled rapidly and he lost consciousness. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.


    Allen''s eyes widen. He flew back, but suddenly a bright light shed in front of his face.


    [Ding! A demonic presence has been found.]


    [Scanning!]


    [Found! The demonic energy is held by Tier 7 SuperMage.]


    [Due to the holder being strong, only a portion of her energy can be absorbed]


    [Do you want to absorb it? (Yes) (No)]


    "Huh?"


    Super Mage?


    He didn''t know what was a super mage, nor did he know about the demonic creature. He was dumbfounded by her evil energy and the power she bore.


    He didn''t think twice before declining the offer. He had to run, her strength far surpassed his imagination.


    If it wasn''t for her ignoring him, he would have already died. So, staying here is a threat.


    But as he was going to escape, a light bound him.


    [System has ignored the host decision.]<novelnext></novelnext>


    [Automatically absorbing the power!]


    As the words shed in front of his eyes, he guessed that system isn''t asking him but informing him.


    He gritted his teeth and cursed the system as a light brighter than the sun escaped his body.


    A light that looked holy, eradicating all evil energy on the way. The light pierced through the air defying all the rules andw. A look at the light could make people blind, it was that brightening.


    The majestic light made the evil energy floating in the air disperse and pierce the woman''s body in a sh.


    The girl who was standing widen her eyes. A frown appeared in her beautiful face. Her body trembled and ayer of ck aura separated from her body. The ck aura which seemed like demonic or evil energy was floating in a shape of a ball, while the holy light became a barrier not letting it escape.


    Under the guidance of the light, the energy entered Allen''s body.


    Unknown energy invaded his body.


    Suddenly, a sharp pain swarmed all over his body.


    "ARGGG!!!!"


    A scream escaped his body. Allen''s body trembled, his body emitted a ck aura as he fell down crashing into the countless branches.


    It was mysterious and fortunate since he didn''t get any injuries.


    The ck energy dominated his body. It explored his all organ and polluted the pure mana inside his mana heart. The ck energy entered inside the bone, inside the muscle, and also inside the veins and skins.


    The pain was like his bone was shattered with a hammer, his skin was burnt with acid, his veins were pierced by needles and his body was thrown into a pit full of sharp spears and burningva.


    "AAAAAAARRRRHHHHHH!!"


    A painful scream that even made the monster ran away echoed into the forest. The demonic energy forcefully tried to dominate Allen''s body.


    It sessfully made the body bow down to it, but as it entered the mana heart. The demonic energy was trapped between the infinite mana.


    The pure mana was being polluted by demonic energy. But how much it pollutes the mana, it didn''t end. The amount it polluted didn''t even seem like a drop of water in the sea.


    Its own essence was being erased by the mana, forcefully dominating the demonic mana.


    The demonic aura shrank down, condensed into a ball between the sea of mana. It gave up, and all the polluted organs, bones, and veins of the body were cleaned by pure mana.


    All the demonic aura left the body and joined the condensed energy. It behaved like a servant didn''t want to get erased.


    Allen''s eyes were shut tight, blood dripped from his lips and his nails pierced his skin,


    A river of sweat flowed down from his body and his unconscious body was continuously healed by both mana and the demonic energy.


    The next morning, as the rays of light pierced his eyelid tickling him, he woke up. He stood while rubbing his eyes and looking at the surrounding.


    As his eyes fell on his own body, he was shocked by the change. And as the memory of the previous night shed, he was overjoyed!

 Chapter 28 28: Some Information About World

    As the sun rose, the birds chirped. The ray of light fell into the world. Some rays of light fell on Allen''s face. The light pierced his eyelid and as a ticklish feeling came to his eyes, he woke up.


    He stood rubbing his eyes and looked here and there.


    "Where am I? Did I get transmigrated again?"


    He wondered. His gaze fell into the forest and they all seemed familiar. He nced at his body and found a shocking change.


    His body that looked normal was now buff. Not buff as those muscr guys. But his body was refined and six-packs could be seen.


    His eyes widen. Suddenly, the memory of the previous night shed in his brain. Cold sweat dripped as he remembered the hellish pain he went through.


    But, he was overjoyed. He could feel strength in his body. He called the status to check his stats.

    (Market: Due to low level, this function isn''t avable.)]


    "Ohh! My strength and stamina have increased hugely. Only my agility increased a little low."


    Allen again looked at his six-pack, and he noticed his clothes were shredded into pieces. Fortunately, his pants were still intact, but he had to leave half-naked.


    Without thinking much, Allen leaped into the air and sneakily entered his room. He quickly changed his clothes and became new.


    His new face was emitting a glow, his height increased by a little and his body became more proportional.


    Even though all of his impurities were washed, and his body became a little muscr, he didn''t be handsome like in those novels mc.


    His face only looked a little better than average, but inparison to really handsome people, he was still ugly.


    He walked out of his room and wanted to head to the library. But his path was blocked by a girl. A familiar girl, Riya.


    She examined Allen''s body from bottom to top and showed a confused face.


    "B-Brother?"


    Her words came out but expect of a statement it more looked like a question.


    "Why is there a question mark there?"


    Allen asked.


    "So, you really are my brother!"


    "Umm... Was I not your brother a while ago?"


    "No! You looked really different and a little charming. You really don''t look like your past self who was ugly and always looked unmotivated and azy bum."


    Riya threw a horde of insults at Allen and smiled mischievously like a child.


    "Don''t insult me casually! Respect me a little, will ya?"


    "What''s with this weird, will ya thing? Did you eat some weird medicine or something?"


    "Uhh... Not really. Anyway, I am going to the library. I don''t have time to waste on you."


    "Yeah, you really have no time for me! Today, I am following you everywhere you go."


    Riya pouted, but she looked a little cute.


    "Even in the toilet?"


    "Yeah!"


    "Don''t I get any privacy?"


    "Privacy will go out today!"


    "Hah! Ok."


    Allen sighed and gave up. He walked toward the library, and Riya followed him.


    Looking at the bulks of books on the shelves, she showed a face of amazement. Allen on the other hand wanted something to know, like what is a demonic being? What is a super mage? Things like that.


    So, no skills for today, only education and knowledge.


    He started taking out every history, geography, and book rted to the world.


    Seeing Allen carrying these boring subject books, Riya was surprised. She came closer to Allen and whispered.


    "Hey, brother. Why are you taking knowledge-giving books?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Because I want to know more about the world."


    "What? Brother and knowledge? Am I dreaming?"


    "What with your over-exgratting words. I like knowledge."


    "Pfft! Sorry. I have never seen you carrying a single book rted to knowledge and education."


    "I was learning in... secret?"


    "Pfft! Haha!"


    "Shh! You will disturb others."


    "Yeah yeah."


    Saying that she left Allen alone. She looked at other books and started taking out skill books.


    Allen heaved a sigh of relief and started reading the books.


    After reading, Allen''s face darkened. He learned a lot more than he expected.


    "Wow... This world is really big..."


    He found out that the world he lives in is hundreds of times bigger than the previous earth.


    7 races dominate this world. Elves, Dwarves, Demons, Monster, humans, Animal-Race, and Spirits.


    All of them live in harmony and if any race starts a war, other races will gang up and exterminate that race.


    The cultivation or the magic tier is really huge.


    The Sage-Realm is the end of the magic level. And the Sage-Realm here is actually only Master-realm.


    Because of a strange formation in this country, no one can advance more than the Master Realm. Since Sage is the end of the cultivation, the master realm here was denoted as the Sage realm.


    The people higher than the master realm whoes from other ces also get their realm demoted to master-realm.


    Even a real Sage Realm mage can''t destroy this formation.


    One time, many sage realms of different sses tried to destroy that formation but they died. From that time, no one dares to go near that formation.


    The scariest thing is the formation lies beneath the ground where Allen went to practice his spell.


    Leaving that, when he leaves the country only then he will have a chance to promote to more realms and be more strong.


    The different Realm are;


    Human Realm (Tier 0 - 9)


    Master Realm


    Grand Master Realm


    Super (ss names) Realm


    Mega Super (ss name) Realm


    Wanderer Realm


    Semi-Sage Realm


    Quasi-Sage Realm


    Sage Realm


    Allen fell into a daze. The woman was Supermage that falls in the 4th realm.


    Sage Realm is the strongest of humanity.


    Allen''s motivation to increase his strength increased.


    Now, his goal, for now, is to be the champion of the MageTournment.


    But the problem is the strongest in the mage champion will at least be Tier 7 or Tier 8 mage.


    The monstrous genius of this country.


    Now Allen was only tier 5.


    Tier 5... "TIER 5!"


    Allen''s voice leaped out of his mouth and reverberated inside the quiet library.


    All students who were reading silently jolted and red at Allen.


    Allen apologized and sat down.


    ''I really became TIer 5 mage!''


    The demonic energy sure has helped me!


    Allen''s face was overjoyed and his gaze fell on tier 5 skill shelves.

 Chapter 29 29: A Month Passed By

    A month has passed by.


    The day in the academy went uneventful.


    Allen has remained tier 5 for a month. It wasn''t that easy to pass tier 5.


    His mana has changed drastically. The demonic mana has be the foundation and his original mana has be the thing that supports the foundation.


    His power is now 2 times stronger than an ordinary mage.


    He has also learned quite a lot of skills.

    Even if he has tons of them, only some are going to use them rapidly. Others only will be used in case of emergencies.


    Allen smirked.


    He stood in front of the mirror flexing his body. He was doing rather stupid things. He didn''t go monster hunting much, as it was boring and he has quite a money tost.


    Hisst month went by with 5 things; Learning skills, Using them, Spending Time alone in the library, Hanging out sometimes with his little sister, and ignoring others who asked him to be their friends.


    Now, today was the day when every third-year student who has reached tier 3 participated in the mage tournament.


    Mage Tournament as its name suggested is for mages who have reached tier 3 and are lower than tier 9.


    Mages lower than tier 3 and higher than tier 9 can''t participate.


    If someone became the champion and won the first prize, they don''t continue to be in the school. They can graduate and explore the world.


    Wearing a ck mage robe, Allen exited the room.


    The mage tournament is going to take ce in the city''srgest arena. It has the capacity of handling millions of audiences.


    Different mage academies students will fight there.


    The participants cross over tens o thousands.


    The tournaments continue for a week or even for a month. It is thergest event after the ss examination.


    Now it times to put my name on the list.


    Allen exited the building and arrived in an office.


    Many students were standing in a line waiting for their turn.; Allen stood behind and waited.


    After ten minutes, his turn finally came.


    "Name?"


    A middle-aged woman wearing a mage robe with a cold face asked without batting an eye at Allen.


    "Allen." Allen replied politely.


    "Tier?"


    "5"


    And after some questions, his name has been added to the list. A badge with the number 1001 was handed to him. It was the token that every participant would need.


    The academy will leave for the tournament tomorrow, so every participant should be present outside the gate by 9 am, or you are eliminated from the tournament and the academy.<novelnext></novelnext>


    After listing, Allen went to his room and cooked breakfast and ate.


    Tomorrow-


    His sister has returned home to check on her parents and her brothers.


    Allen arrived at the gate, which was filled with students. Allen stood at the corner as an old man walked there. He had a domineering look on his face filled with nobility and seriousness.


    He looked at the students and nodded.


    "You guys are the hope of our academy. I hope you all will not tarnish our academy''s reputation. Now, let''s wish we get a decent ranking in the tournament."


    His voice was soft but rang all over the ce without the need of a mike.


    After that, all the students sat in a big carriage. It wasn''t very big nor very small. A carriage holds 4 students.


    Simrly, hundreds of carriages left the academy.


    Inside the carriage, Allen sat with a nk expression on his face looking at his threepanions.


    One big muscr guy and two petty girls.


    The muscr guy stared at Allen for a moment before smiling and opening his mouth. "Hello, guys. My name is Jin. Nice to meet you."


    He stretched his hands towards Allen with a family-friendly smile. Allen hesitated before speaking politely.


    "Name''s Allen. Nice to meet you too."


    He shook the bear guy''s hands.


    Then the bear guy looked at the two girls.


    "Hello,dies. Would you mind introducing yourselves?"


    Allen looked at the bear guy with a little bit of respect in his eyes.


    He has some social skills.


    "Uhh,.."


    The girls looked a little ufortable. But they sighed.


    "My name is Mina."


    "My name is Rena."


    "Ohh! What beautiful names."


    "T-Thanks?"


    "Thanks."


    One looked a shy type while the other looked the cold type.


    What abination.


    An anti-social guy, a social guy, a shy girl, and a cold girl.


    This must be the bestbination of people in history.


    As Allen thought inside his mind, an awkward silence floated in the carriage. It was too ufortable!

 Chapter 30 30: Monster Horde

    The silence in the carriage continued. No one spoke anything. The awkward atmosphere made Jin a little ufortable as he tried to open his mouth thinking of a new topic to discuss.


    "Hey-"


    *SFX of carriage stopping and the wheel rubbing against the ground*


    Bang!


    The sudden halt of the carriage flung Jin in front, crashing on the smooth wood.


    "Ow, Ow!"


    Jin rubbed his head and sat on his seat.


    Allen and the twodies were a little pushed forward but managed to bnce themselves from hitting the floor.


    "Why did the carriage suddenly stop?''


    The girl who had purple hair tied in a ponytail spoke. Her name was Mina, the cold girl.


    "How would I know?"


    Allen answered. He didn''t even look at her.


    "What happened?"


    Jin asked while looking at the door.


    "I don''t know. We need to head out to check what happened."


    Allen replied before opening the door and exiting the carriage.


    A huge crowd was formed near the extravagant carriage. The carriage was for the principal. Inparison to his carriage, the other carriage looked worse, like a gem in the middle of stones.


    He walked at the crowd and peaked.


    A young boy covered in wounds, his clothes tattered, tears flowing out from his eyes knelt in front of the carriage.


    He banged his head on the ground shouting like a madman.


    "Please Help Us!!!"


    His voice rang in everyone''s ear. They looked at each other confused by the situation.


    The old man, a.k.a the principal, came out from his carriage and nced at the boy.


    "What happened?"


    His voice was soft yet cold.


    "Our vige is attacked by a monster horde. Please save the vigers! Please save my parents!!"


    Just as he cried for help, everyone looked at each other bothered by the boy''s words.


    A sound rang in Allen''s ear.


    [Ding! A new quest has been issued]


    [Save the Vigers]


    [A monster horde has attacked the vige. The monster horde isn''t normal. Someone with demonic energy is controlling the horde.]


    [Quest Reward: Demonic Energy, Vige Favorbility]


    [Penalty in failure/decline: None]


    [Demonic Energy: This will add more demonic energy into demonic mana making it more pure and strong. This will allow you to freely use any demonic skills. Mana strength will raise by 1.5 and a tier will be raised.]


    [Vige Favorbility: Make vigers grateful to you.]


    ''Hmm... Except for reward 1, another one is useless.''


    "Your vige is attacked by a monster horde?" The principal was doubtful.


    "Yes!"


    The boy eximed without wasting a second of breath.


    "Hm... But we will gette for the mage tournament if we go there."


    The principal said straightforwardly. The boy who heard this fell into a daze.


    His eye widen as he couldn''t believe what he heard.


    ''Please! Our vige will be wiped out! Many people will die!"


    "But it is not of our concerned, is it?"


    "But aren''t you guys mages-"


    Before he could speak, the principal entered inside the carriage signaling other students to enter the carriage too.


    The boy gritted his teeth. He bit his teeth to hold the anger in his heart. Blood flowed out from his lips as his body trembled in fear.<novelnext></novelnext>


    How could this happen?


    They won''t save us...


    The words he heard were like sharp swords piercing his chest continuously.


    Other students shook their heads and headed inside their carriage feeling bad for the boy. But for them, the tournament was greater than this unfamiliar boy.


    Their whole future depends on this event.


    Only Allen was left behind.


    A hand fell on his shoulder. Jin along with the twodies looked at him.


    "Let''s go,"


    Jin said softly.


    "Yeah, no point in looking at the boy."


    Mina said without batting an eye at the boy.


    Allen shook his head.


    "You all go, I wille after handling this."


    "Wha-"


    His words made everyone shocked.


    They looked at him with disbelief in their eyes.


    "But-"


    "No buts, just go. I will deal with this."


    Allen turned his back. The boy kneeling on the ground looked up as the shadow of Allen fell on his face.


    "Don''t worry boy. I will help you."


    Just as the words left his mouth, the boy''s tears stopped. His face brighten like a light bulb as his voice shuttered.


    "R-Really?"


    "Yeah. Let''s go."


    He supported the boy to stand up.


    Behind him, three people stare at him but sighed.


    "Let''s leave him," Mina said helplessly.


    "But-"


    Before Jin couldin, thedies entered inside the carriage ignoring him.


    "Wait for me!"


    Jin entered inside the carriage and it drove off.


    Allen looked at the carriage, the horse that supported the carriage and lead it with it was no ordinary horse.


    It was tier 3 Super Horse, that could run at 50 km/hr speed.


    Allen sighed as he looked at the boy''s condition.


    "Let me heal you."


    "Huh?"


    Green light filled the boy''s body. Within a minute, the wounds on his body disappeared like there was no injury from the start.


    The boy was surprised but nodded thinking it must be normal for mages.


    And, they both take off to the vige where the monster ran rampant.

 Chapter 31 31: A Battle Worth Of Coolness

    (This is somewhat improved version of chapter 31. Please read the lowest part for more information.)


    "Huff! Huff!"


    A small girl that looked 8 or 9 years old ran through the forest. Her breathing was ragged, her small legs didn''t let cover much distance in a short time.


    Her eyes were teary, her heart thumped heavily as she hardly could breathe.


    Behind her, two monsters that were humanoid in form chased her carrying a club in their hands. Even though they were slower than the girl, their long legs carried them faster than the little girl''s legs.


    "Hah! Hah!''


    She ran using all of her strength like there was no tomorrow. She didn''t even breathe properly which caused her eyes to be blurred due tock of oxygen.


    *SFX of a little girl falling to the ground*


    The little girl''s legs gave up. She fell to the ground. Her knees and elbows were scratched. Blood flowed out from her lips and nose as her face hit the ground.


    Tears flowed from her eyes like a river.


    ''S-Someone save me!''


    She didn''t have the energy to shout, so she could just pray in her heart.


    The two monsters whose height was two times of a normal man''s, their bodies fat like pigs with red color dyed on their bodies.


    They were called red orcs.


    The little girl closed her eyes. Her body trembled with fear. She waited for the monster as she didn''t have an ounce of energy to do anything.


    Swoosh!


    As she waited for her fate, a sound passed by her ears giving her hope.


    Her small eyes opened and saw the scene that left her mouth agape. Her eyes widen as her heart beat rapidly.


    The red orcs in front of her were burnt crisp. Smell of burnt meat drifted in the air. Wind blew and carried the ash of the monsters with it, leaving no trace of their existence.


    "Ana!"


    A loud voice rang in her ears, but she didn''t have any energy to respond. Her fragile body rxed and the pent-up stress and fear left her. She slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.


    "Ana! Are you ok?!"


    The boy called out to her, but only silence was left in the atmosphere.


    Allen sighed. He looked at the girl and spoke.


    "She passed out."


    The boy nodded and spit a sigh of relief before carrying her in his arms.


    "Let''s go."


    "Ok."


    Allen lifted the boy and the girl using his telekinesis and flew to the vige.


    ****


    The smoke rose to the sky. Screams of terror and sorrow left the vigers'' mouths as they ran for their dear life.


    A Group of monsters mindlessly wreaked havoc on the vigers. They destroyed everything that came in their way.


    Blood sttered all over the ground dying the soil red. The corpse of the vigersy on the ground as ck crows and small monsters chew it.


    The whole vige was surrounded by the horde of monsters leaving them no ce to escape. The vigers could only wail and scream for help.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Just as they thought everything was over, an explosion rang in the vicinity.


    Fire burnt the tress, and screams of monsters echoed in the forest attracting the attention of vigers.


    "Look up!"


    "Did Gode to save us?!"


    "Are we saved?"


    Vigers looked up. A figure of someone floated in the air looking at the monsters and vigers like they were ants.


    Snap!


    As Allen snapped his fingers, the sky teared up. The horde of fireballs appeared out of thin air and floated in the sky covering the sun.


    Clouds evaporated, the temperature rose significantly and the groups of fire fell like a droplet in rain.


    As theynd, the ground screamed. Explosion covered the huge forest turning every living thing into ashes.


    A huge number of trees disappeared like that, and the scenery in front of the vigers was like the end of the world.


    The 10% of the forest turned into barrennd. No life could be sensed in that area as it disappeared into the thin air.


    Hundreds of monsters in the forest marching on the vigers were wiped out, leaving only the monsters that were causing havoc in the vige alive.


    The remaining monster couldn''t help but kneel on the ground shivering with fear. Like begging for forgiveness, they bow their head.


    But they didn''t get the forgiveness. Instead, the empty sky was filled with golden swords made up of pure energy.


    The thousands of swords floating in the sky swayed with the movement of Allen''s hand. Allen swiped his hand from top to bottom, and as he did that, the sword trembled.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The swords found their gravity and got attracted to the ground, no, they were attracted to the monsters.


    Stab! Stab! Stab!


    Numerous swords stabbed varieties of monsters. Head, leg, eye, mouth, no organs were left unscattered.


    Blood gushed out from their injury and their corpsey on the ground filling the emptynds.


    With another movement of Allen''s hand, cores flew from the monster''s body to Allen''s storage ring.


    Allen nodded in satisfaction looking at the number of cores he gained from this event. He looked at the injured vigers and cast "Super Heal."


    As he cast, green lights filled the sky again. The scenery was like art that came to life. The twinkling green light floated around injured vigers and entered their bodies.


    The wounds healed up, the scars disappeared, and the injured body became new.


    Feeling the change in their body, the vigers couldn''t help but bow down. They pay their respect to their savior and cheer.


    Allen ignored those words. He felt the demonic energy and aura of many tier 3 monstersing from the west. He didn''t waste a second flying there.


    He did put down the duo before going there.


    At the corner of the forest, hundreds of tier 3 monsters marched down. A youth sitting on a tier 4 monster smirked looking at his army.


    It wasn''t clear if this was a n or a pure idiotic choice. Marching a hundred monsters could attract the attention of powerful people.


    A master-realm mage could wipe out the hundreds of these monsters with a snap of their finger. It won''t even be a work for them.


    So, if this was just a whim not a n then, it was just pure idiotic.


    While they were marching, the temperature of the forest decreased.


    The wind starts rotating forming a tornado. The tornado began chilling as its color changed into blue. Icy air blew from the tornado freezing anything it touched.


    The icy tornado strode at them.


    If it was only one, the monster wouldn''t have panicked. But tens of this tornado formed out blowing winds caused the monster to tremble in fear.


    Terror shed in their eyes as they saw fire appearing out of the thin air. The fire rotated creating a huge tower.


    The rotating fire marched at the monster burning everything it passes through.


    The monster cowered, their instinct told them to run.


    Not long, the monster stepped backward. They started running in different directions. But, they again stepped backward hitting another monster.


    The four directions of the forest were blocked by the tornado and fire. Many icy tornados and fire towers moved toward them cornering them from every direction possible.


    And as it reached the monster, only screams could be heard.


    The monster that was far from this ce couldn''t help but shudder just listening to the scream. The weak monsters all cowered and hid in their habitat.


    The strong monster''s heart wavered but they ignored the screams and mind their own business.


    In just ten minutes, the marching monsters either turned into ash or turned into ice.


    Only the youth sitting on the tier 4 monster was left.


    Allen collected all the core skillfully.


    All the cores he had collected until now have crossed thousand.


    "Tch!"


    He clicked his teeth regretting his action. He could have sold those monster body parts if it weren''t for him turning them into ash.


    But, he also didn''t have much space in his storage ring to collect the bodies. So, with an aching heart, he parted away with the monster''s bodies.


    Allen teleported and appeared before the youth.


    Just the presence of Allen caused the youth to knelt. He couldn''t lift his head. The pressure on his head was so heavy that the ground below his head crumbled.


    Everything is over!


    The youth thought as a mouthful of blood flowed from his mouth, Because of the pressure, he couldn''t even spit out the blood.


    Interesting.


    Allen smiled evilly.


    ********

 Chapter 32 32: Returning

    "How the hell did you control these fucking monsters?"


    Allen asked.


    I-I..."


    Like the whole mountain has ced on his head, the youth felt the immense pressure on his head. He was going to say something, but his mouth froze like it was left at -100 degrees celsius.


    Suddenly, his body emitted a red aura. The temperature around the forest increased. Allen felt dangering.


    "Small Teleport."


    Without wasting time, he cast "small teleport" and disappeared. He reappeared 100m away in a blink of an eye.


    BOOM!


    The scene in front of me was like a nuclear boom exploding in a country. The youth''s body exploded and the trees disappeared in the thin air. Thend below his body copsed, and a huge crater formed showing the damage it caused.


    Around the area of 60m, nothing was left. The huge crater was filled with ashes. Thend became barren and due to the explosion, it may even be infertile.


    Allen sighed. His emotion fluctuated thinking he would have died if he didn''t have the small teleport skill. He nodded and mumbled, "I should equip any skill I could find. No one knows when it will be useful."


    After that, he swayed his hand horizontally while casting "Super Heal"


    The mana inside his body flowed out from his palm. As it flowed, tiny bubbles of green light appeared twinkling in the air. The scene was stupefying like art hase back to life.


    The beauty of the green light increased as millions of these green lights the size of a small bubble filled the whole surrounding 100m.


    Allen''s hand fluttered. The twinkling green light zoomed down at an incredible speed. The bubble changed into rays of light falling in a straight line creating a trail behind.


    The light didn''t stop even after crashing into the ground. Instead, it pierced the ground and clipped inside it without creating any damage. It was like a ghost that can pass through walls without any effort.


    As the light entered inside the ground, something unique happened.


    The whole ground glowed, the ashes inside the crater absorbed by the ground and sent toward the core. And the ground shook, dirt appeared out of thin air filling the crater. In just two minutes, the ground was ttened, making a smooth in.


    The brownish color of the dirt stood attentively in the middle of the forest surrounded by the green trees.


    Thud!


    The ground shook again, and ripples formed on the ground. Greenish color covered the ground, and the brownish taint was consumed by it.


    Small grasses grew on the ground at an amazing speed, and in just a second the barrennd was converted into grasnd.


    Allen nodded in satisfaction. To make this thing happen, a huge amount of mana was used. Like 50 Master-Realm whole mana was used.


    Looking at the beautiful view, Allen brimmed with a smile. He felt proud of this, but he suppressed the feeling and took a deep breath.


    [Ding! Quest Completed.]


    [Reward: Demonic Energy]


    [Demoic Energy has been put inside the inventory. Please check it after finding a quiet ce.]


    The sudden notification startled Allen. "Oh! I forgot about the quest." He was too immersed in disying his power and had fun killing the monster, he forgot he came because of the quest.


    He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He was too excited by the fact he overpowered Hundreds of monsters and killed them mercilessly. Well, he got the benefit of hundreds of cores.


    "Ok, let''s go."


    After calming down, he shed toward the vige.


    Destruction was everywhere. Dead bodies of monsters and vigers filled thend. Houses were burnt down to ashes, crops were destroyed. There was nothing that resembled this ce a human settlement.


    Vigers that survived this catastrophe wailed looking at the corpse of their family, friends, and rtives. Some shed tears looking at the burnt house and destroyed fields.


    No one was happy even though they survived. This event would be remembered in the future as one of the most despairing events, or an apocalypse.


    Allennded on the ground. His eyes fell on the crying vigers. He felt some sadness, but he shrugged his shoulders maintaining his expressionless face.


    As vigers saw Allen, they all walked toward him, wiping their tears. The whole vigers were silent, an older adult who was lucky enough to survive, walked forward.


    "T-Thank you, lord..." He bowed down. "Thank you for saving us." All the vigers nodded and bowed deeply.


    All of them were really grateful to him from the bottom of their heart.


    Allen stared at them nkly and didn''t know what to say. His body rxed and he moved his hand. "It''s ok. I will fix yournds for now."


    Vigers became stunned as they heard that statement.


    Fix?


    They didn''t know what he meant by that.


    Allen moved his hand and countless twinkling green light floated around him. The vigers gasped looking at the beautiful scenery. They could feel vitality from the light as they could feel the green light soothing their body.


    The light hastened inside thend, and the ck and whitend changed drastically. Thend became green and it looked fertile.


    "T-This-"


    They couldn''t believe in their eyes. Mortals really can''t understand these supreme beings. In their eyes, Allen has be a god.


    They all bowed down on their knees.<novelnext></novelnext>


    For Allen, it was just a trick, but for vigers, it was a miracle. How much fertilend was, the more corps could be produced.


    But, they were all still troubled, they didn''t have any shelter or any source of food.


    "Ok. This much will do I will be leaving now."


    Allen nodded with a smile and announced to the vigers.


    "Lord..."


    The vigers were a little reluctant, as they want to do something for Allen for saving them. A debt of life itself is bigger than life.


    He saved the lives of hundreds, no thousands, so any vigers is willing to sacrifice their own life for him.


    Allen ignored their word and was going to leave. But, a small girl and young boy interrupted him.


    "Sir! Please wait!"


    The boy shouted to attract the attention of Allen. Allen looked behind. "What?" He askedzily. He just wants to go and sleep.


    Sleep is bigger than everything.


    "Thank you for saving us."


    "Thank you... Big Brother, for saving the vige and... me."


    The girl lowered her head while speaking.


    She was a cute little girl, a little innocent.


    Allen blinked his eye and walked toward the girl. "It''s ok. It wasn''t that much of work anyway.  And I was just passing by."


    He patted the little girl''s heat. She blushed down slightly, as embarrassed by this.


    "What''s your name?" Allen asked.


    "I am Ana Bart." She said in a soft voice.


    "Oh. Work hard, Ana. One day, you will be as powerful as me."


    "Really?! Can I be powerful as you, brother?"


    "Of course." Allen smiled gently caressing her soft hair.


    "Just work hard, ok."


    "Ok!"


    "Ok, then. Big brother has a lot of work, so I will leave now."


    "Ok..." Ana said with a hint of disappointment. She wanted to y with him.


    Allen turned back and flew without looking back.


    He used a small teleport to travel fastly. 100 m in a second, he covered 1km in just some seconds. He traveled 100s of kilometers in mere minutes.


    It didn''t take him long to catch with the carriage. And with a little bit more effort, he reached near his carriage. It was easy to find, there was a number on the carriage, and his carriage was numbered 101.


    Again using a small teleport, he directly appeared inside the carriage.


    "Yo!"


    "Uwa!"


    "Whaa!"


    The groups inside the carriage, all jumped seeing Allen appearing like a ghost.


    ''Where the fuck did youe from?!!!"


    Mina shouted.

 Chapter 33 33: City Of Adventurers

    "Where the hell did youe from?" Mina shouted.


    "Hmm, from my mother''s womb," Allen said while sitting on his seat pushing his back at the wall of the carriage. The wall supported his back.


    "That''s too early! How did you appear here, anyway?"


    "Telporting..."


    "Teleporting?"


    "Isn''t that a high-level skill?" Jin asked with a curious eye as he heard the word ''Teleport".


    "Yeah, it''s a tier 4 skill, use  for small teleportation."


    "Oh!!"


    "Whew! If you guys don''t have any business with me, can I sleep?"


    Allen didn''t wait for a reply and closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep.


    The three other guys inside the carriage looked at Allen with some curiosity, but they sighed and mind their own business.


    *****


    "Urmm~~"


    Stretching his arms, Allen exited the carriage with drowsy eyes. He rubbed his eye and stood in a line.


    "We have arrived at City of Adventurers. There is an inn called Mega Huge Inn. Your token number is your room number. If you guys want to explore the city, explore. The academy won''t hinder your movement bute to the tournament in time. A second dy, and you will be eliminated. Any questions?"


    The principal asked the students with a gaze that pierced everything. The students stood silently before someone raised their hands.


    "Sir, what if someone gets in trouble? I mean, got arrested by guards, make problem with nobels... Like those things?"


    A timid girl asked holding a long staff in her arms that were long as her height.


    "Hmm, if you cause any trouble, you are responsible for it. The academy won''t interfere, nor it will care about you. Just make it to the tournament in time, that''s all."


    "Ok."


    ...


    "If no question, then all are dismissed!"


    With a roar, every student walked their way.


    Allen separated from the crowds and explored the city.


    House not that big, a most 3 stories tall stood mightily on thend. The house was built facing another which made a gap between them, which is the street.


    Small stores such as people sitting side of the store with items ced on a cloth waiting for a customer, while some ced on open cart and called for customers. The street itself was like a small market.


    Hustling and bustling of people were new for Allen, as he was mostly an introvert and didn''t like crowds much.


    He wanted to fly but held that urge. It wasn''t suitable to fly here, if you want to get shot by the arrows then you can fly.


    It wasn''t that crowded until he reached the market. The huge crowd of people walking touching other shoulders, the space there was covered by the people. The ce was a disaster.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Allen felt suffocation, he didn''t want to be there for any second. He anyhow escaped from these people and arrived near an alley.


    ? Huu! Haa! "What a disaster?!"


    Allen took a deep breath. He ignored those people and walked deeper inside the alley without any care.


    As the deeper he walked, the darker it became. It wasn''t dark as nighttime. After finding a quiet ce, he sat down.


    He took out the demonic energy he got a reward.


    "Whoa!"


    A big orb as bigger as a crystal ball floated above Allen''s palm. The base of the orb didn''t touch Allen''s hand. A small golden barrier covered the ball, let it float, and made it untouchable.


    "Why is it covered with a barrier?" Allen asked.


    [Demonic energy is evil by nature. If touched, it will invade the host''s body uncontrobly, making it harder for the mana inside the body to control it and trap it. So, it is for a safety protocol.


    "So, if I consume it slowly with my mana, it won''t affect me?"


    [Yes. Demonic Energy invades the mana heart from the first. And then it spread through the body with the help of mana floating inside the body. It mainly pollutes mana and controls one''s heart and brain. But, if it is trapped with mana, it couldn''t do anything.]


    "Ohh, that''s why I survived the previous time."


    Hearing that, Allen slowly absorbed the energy. As he consumed the demonic energy, the more his body became hotter. Indescribable energy filled his entire body, refining his organ.


    The energy entered inside his mana heart and mixed with the mana already trapped inside. It grew in size as the orb decreased in size.


    After consuming the orb wholely, his body was full of energy. He couldn''t describe what he was feeling, it was magical.


    [Ding! Three Skills Learned]


    [Consume: Create ayer of ck string that consume mana and life force from other beings. Could consume the whole body.]


    [Comman: As long as the host is 3 levels higher than any people, you could control them andmand them like your ve.]


    [Corruption: Corrupt anyone''s mind. Aggression +1, Evil thoughts +1, Desire +2]


    What the heck?!!

 Chapter 34 34: Experiment

    Tier 6... Allen broke through to tier 6, but he ignored it. His attention to the skills he obtained from the demonic energy orb.


    Corrupting mind, Command, Consume... Why do they sound op?


    Sighing off, Allen shook his head. He couldn''t use them normally, it would be dangerous if people found him using demonic skills.


    But his curiosity about the skill didn''t go off, he really wanted to test his skill. But it had to be put off for now.


    Allen walked deeper inside the alley. It wasn''t that he wanted to go inside, it was just that he was lost. Yes, as embarrassing as it sounds, it is his first time in this alley. He came to the city before, but it was the first time he entered the alley and on top of that, alone.


    He naturally couldn''t find the exit. The alley looked like a maze, every turn he found new paths. There were also no people there. At least if it was night, a horde of people mostly gangster would be found.


    "Boss, this way."


    Suddenly, a sound entered Allen''s ear. He looked at the source of the sound and found five people wearing red mage robes. The robe waspletely different than Allen''s which was provided by the academy.


    From the looks of the robe, Allen could deduce they came from another mage academy. And the party must be rich. He could feel a special magic array imprinted inside the robe of the boy who waked in middle surrounded by three other people.


    Allen wanted to ask them for direction but from the looks of their face and grim atmosphere he didn''t. He used ''small teleport'' and teleported a little further away from them.


    He hid behind the wall and examined their activity like an investigator.


    The atmosphere of the group was heavy, no one talked let alone even open their mouth. The guy walking in front had a troubled smile on his face. Cold sweat dripped from his head, and he forced a smile while holding his shaking hands.


    As they walked ahead, Allen slowly and quietly followed them. From the corner of the wall, he looked at the group.


    They reached the deepest part of the alley. Two muscr men carrying a greatsword on their back, and a guy wearing a dazzling tunic stood with a smile on his face. He had a golden box glowing with yellowish color on his hand.


    The moment he saw the group of five men walking there, his smile grew wider. Clearing his throat, he walked toward them.


    "Wee, Mr. Huan. You are as handsome as the rumor says."


    "Please don''t tter me, Mr. Chen. I am here for business. So, please don''t waste my time. I am in a hurry."


    "Ok. Please look at the content, and tell me if this will satisfy you or not..."<novelnext></novelnext>


    Mr. Chen handed the box to Mr. Huan. Mr. Huan didn''t wait for a second to open the box. As he opened, an alluring smell wafted through the air.


    Allen''s nose pricked as it smelled the scent. Allen felt demonic energy from the pill, but it was purer than the energy inside his body. Also, it contained a huge amount of evil aura, that covered the goldish pill.


    Ordinary people or even mages may not see that aura, but Allen, a fellow demonic energy user could sense that.


    He wanted to snatch that pill but didn''t.


    Two swordsmen of Mr. Chen were Tier 5, the three people of Mr. Huan were Tier 4 mages and Mr. Huan himself was a tier 5 mage.


    The guide or the person leading them there who didn''t speak and only stood in the corner was the only normal person.


    Mr. Chen was a tier 3 fighter. His hand had a special type of gloves covering it.


    Allen couldn''t help but sigh. He would just follow those people to exit. Suddenly, Mr. Huan opened his mouth.


    "Hey, you prick! Won''t youe out now?!"


    His voice was directed at Allen which stunned him. Allen was sure that he hid his mana and aura. But still. he was found out.


    Allen waited for some minute thinking that words weren''t for him. But a sudden fireball came flying at him.


    Allen was caught off guard, so he got hit by the fire.


    Fortunately, the ball wasn''t that big, so it didn''t cause much damage. But it burnt his face.


    "Arrg! Damn! Its hurt!!"


    Allenined and gritted his teeth. He immediately used serious heal. The pain disappeared and his burnt skin recovered. There was no scar. Allen breathe a sigh of relief.


    "You fucking turds! You nearly destroyed my handsome face! What if my face was destroyed? I won''t get to pick girls, you know." He scolded the group and cursed them with words.


    The group of people dumbfoudnly stare at him.

 Chapter 35 35: Mr. Huan Possessed

    Why was he the one who is cursing? Shouldn''t they curse him? He is the one who followed them sneakily like an assassin.


    "You bastard!"


    Mr. Huan shouted. With a fireball in one hand, he shot it at Allen.


    The Golden Defensive Shield blocked the fireball. Looking at it, Mr. Huan sneered. "You are also a magician."


    ".."


    Allen tilted his head.


    What the hell is he talking about?


    Didn''t he see the robe Allen was wearing or did he just ignore his whole body...


    "What a joke."


    Allen couldn''t help but chuckle. His eye furrowed immediately after theugh, and he raised his arm. "Spinning Fire!"


    A little shout escaped his mouth. Two...Three fireballs ttened in the shape of a circle while spinning appeared above Allen''s head.


    As the fire rotated, the wind escaping from the fire heated. Wind warm flowed in the air, and the temperature increased drastically.


    Sweat dripped from all the people standing there, of course, Allen was also affected. But he didn''t care and used telekinesis to wipe the sweat.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The spinning fire moved toward the group. The group''s faces darkened.


    "Mr. Huan!"


    Mr. Chen eximed and hid behind Mr. Huan''s back. Like forming a line, the bodyguards and the guide also hid behind Mr. Huan.


    He looked at the people and blinked.


    Shameful! Even the bodyguard whose job is to protect me is hiding behind my back. If I had to protect myself, why do I need them?!!


    Mr. Huan cursed in his heart and wanted to punish them. But the spinning fireing at them didn''t stop. So, he had to look at that for now.


    "Magical Shield!"


    He screamed. A white light formed in front of him. The light consolidated and formed a ss-like-looking thin barrier. Even if the barrier looked thin, it easily blocked the three spinning fires.


    "You sure have the ability!" Mr. Huan didn''t underestimate his enemy. He gritted his teeth thinking he may be stronger than him.


    So, he quickly took out the pill from the box. The golden pill covered with an evil aura was eaten by Mr. Huan. As he eat, the white barrier turned ck.


    The aura in the surrounding became heavy like the air has became solid. Even the people behind his back felt they were suffocated.


    Allen felt weird, but he didn''t react. The evil energy was going to flow out of the alley, but it suddenly stopped in its track and returned to Mr. Huan''s body.


    On the other hand, Mr. Huan looked like he was possessed. His face lowered, andughter escape his mouth.


    "HII HAAAAAAHAAAAA!"


    It sounded evil from the core. He raised his head and stunned Allen.


    His eye didn''t look normal in any case. The pupils, lens, and even the white cover of the eye weren''t there. The whole eye was empty, and like a skull whose eyes burnt blue, his eye also burnt ck.


    The people behind him trembled, even though they didn''t expect this to happen.


    Allen felt relieved, as he thought, it was just an evil possession.<novelnext></novelnext>


    ording to what he knows about demonic energy, if it isn''t absorbed properly, the absorber would be possessed by the energy. That''s why the demonic energy user is hunted.


    Suddenly, his whole body glowed ck. He was covered in the ck aura which made it look like it was his armor.


    Five strings of ck thread escaped the ck aura and pierced the people''s bodies.


    "Guwak!" Poof!


    They spotted mouthfuls of blood before dying. Their whole body floated and the ck string sucked them dry, Only the skeleton was left, but it was also crushed and created white powder from it.


    The white powder got absorbed by the ck aura and strengthen its whole defense.  He faced Allen with an evil smile, a creepy face that sent shivers to anyone who saw him looked at Allen curiously.


    Allen didn''t seem to be scared, he wasn''t afraid of Mr. Huna even in his demonic form.


    Boom!


    Like a bomb has sted, the surrounding air screamed. The ck aura that the Allen released created a barrier and covered 100m of area.


    His whole body emitted a ck aura, not strong as Mr. Huan but denser than him.


    " You are also a demonic being?... No, you are different. Wait! How are you controlling the demonic mana without being consumed by it?!!"


    Mr. Huan''s eyes widen, of course not his inner part, but the skin near his eye stretched showing a face of surprise.


    ? He felt fear lingering in his heart but quickly held it.


    "Chain of absorption!"


    Mr. Huan screamed. Hundreds of strings of ck aura wiggled like snakes beforeunching at Allen at an incredible speed.


    Allen didn''t waver, he smiled.


    "Now that''s a fight!"


    He eximed and raised his arm.


    ".."

 Chapter 36 36: A Big Fight

    Swish!


    Many strings thick as a house pipe appeared behind Allen''s back like Ghouls. The string doubled, tripled, and in just some seconds, hundreds of those covered the whole Allen''s back.


    Looking at the strong, Mr. Huan couldn''t help but take a step back.


    Swoosh!


    The strings advanced toward Mr. Huan. Mr. Huan also didn''t stay in a daze, he also made his strings move and attack Allen''s string.


    ng! Clung!


    The sound of metal hitting each other sounded in the alley. Allen''s string hardened like iron so did Mr. Huan''s string.


    If it was not enough for the string to fight, Mr. Huan threw ck fire the size of a head toward Allen.


    Allen cast an Energy st to counterattack the ball.


    Boom!


    Two balls strike each other and a defeating sound reverberated.


    Allen instantly cast Space Defying Attack. As the crack of space tearing sounded, the face of Mr. Huan darkened.


    Poof! "Arggg!"


    He spout a mouthful of blood and grabbed his chest. He saw a small wound appearing as if something invisible has hit him.


    "Heh!" Allen sneered looking at him.


    Boom!


    The floor behind Mr. Huan exploded, it deeper dug inside, It seemed something had pressed on it, and it was the pressure of Mr. Huan.


    His eyebrows knitted together, and he bit his lips with rage. His body surged with power and glowed brightly.


    His body charged with power and all the brightness moved together toward his palm.


    And as the light reached Mr. Huan''s palm, it polluted the air. The air started moving in the same ce, sticking together.


    The ck color appeared and a big ball of ck energy floated in the sky.


    Mr. Huan''s face paled, and he swiped his hand down at an incredible speed. The ball rushed at Allen.


    Allen''s face darkened, a grim expression formed and he frowned.


    He raised his hand.


    Fearless.


    As he cast that, an aura covered Allen suppressing his fear. He felt like he could go to a cliff and jump down without any hesitation.


    He also activated regeneration. His body covered with green light made him look like a fairy. Also, he activated GO.


    GO, may seem like weird and funny. But it is a tier 4 peak skill. After Allen was promoted to tier 5, he didn''t actually learn many tiers 5 skills. Small teleport and Space Defying Attack were the only tier 5 skills, he had.


    [Go: Once cast, the overall stats of the host increased by 50. The magic will strengthen by 80. While running, the host can break his limit by 100 times. Time Limit: 10 minutes, Cooldown Time: 1 day.]<novelnext></novelnext>


    Of course, the skill is overpowered. But it has a time limit and cools down, NOt every powerful skill could be cast for unlimited time.


    Now, Allen cast Go, and another blue aura covered him.


    Blue, ck, Green, and Yellow aura covered him. His body may look like a disco light.


    Getting back on topic, he cast ten Energy sts, 50 Pyrosts, 100 Windsts, 50 Spinning Fires, 10 Bomb st, 45 Magical Sword, Minor Curse one time, Blessing one time, Slippery Feet, Quick Speed.


    Stack! He stacked his skill. Mr. Huan who smirked thinking he won changed his expression drastically. Grim, no fear, no scared as shit, his body trembled to the point he knelt down sub-consciously.


    10 Energy sts floated in the middle, 50 Spinning fires floated in front of Allen covering his point of vision, 10 Bomb st were like small ck energy condensed heavily that floated in the gap of different spinning fires.


    Sword Energy floated above Energy st, Minor Curse affected the ck lump of the ball.


    [Decreased Power by 0.00005 times.]


    Even if it is small, it created a difference.


    Blessing increased his stats but wasn''t worth mentioning in front of GO skill.


    Slippery Feet and Quick Speed with GO skill made him fast as light, which he won''t be able to control, but in case, he cast it.


    And enhanced by the Go skill, all the skills on the air emit a denser aura than before. If any ordinary person was there, they will just die with the aura. Don''t mention pressure, the pressure created by the skill could kill a tier 3 person.


    Tier 4 will be heavily injured by the pressure alone, and tier 5 will be affected somewhat. But Mr. Huan is affected by the demonic energy, in one sense, he is stronger than a tier 6 mage.


    So, he only knelt.


    The whole skill in the air looked like fireworks. Different skills had different colors of aura emitting from them. It looked scary as hell but beautiful like heaven.


    "Go."


    With a movement of Allen''s hand, the horde of skill capable of destroying a vige in one go drove toward the ck energy that reached in the middle of Mr. Huan and Allen.


    KA-BOOM!

 Chapter 37 37: Many Collateral Damage With Casualties

    KA-BOOM!


    Deafening, no sound that will directly shatter your eardrum generated. The shock of the two energy hitting each other destroyed Allen''s ck barrier easily.


    The damage that the two energy collided caused couldn''t be described.


    At least, a 1 km area is affected.


    Just around Allen''s fighting area, the tens of building with people who were innocent copsed and maybe killed.


    Not to mention, the remains of the building and the dust floating in the sky created a fog and showed a glimpse of the destruction.


    If it happened in the middle of the city, the whole city wouldn''t function and a huge number of casualties with many coteral damages will take.


    The whole city was in riot. Screams people, crying people, the depressed atmosphere flowed in the city.


    The alley area may have not many people, but the house there were at most 10% of the whole city. And the poption in the house covered 15% of the whole city.


    The overall poption of the city crossed a million. No one could guess the number of injured and dead people.


    The two fights of people escted to the point which caused misfortune to take ce in the city.


    The lingering aura in the atmosphere didn''t vanish, many people couldn''t go to the centre of the battle area, and some people didn''t dare to.


    Only Sage-Realm people dared to go.


    ******


    In the middle of the destroyed area, Alleny on the ground covered in blood. He couldn''t lift his finger.


    It wasn''t pain, but it was the use of many skills. Having infinite mana doesn''t mean infinite stamina. The skill also put stress on his body.


    Allen wanted to sleep, but... If he stay here much longer, he was sure to get caught.


    Not to mention torture, it would be even lucky for him to get death.


    And his parents will face the insult and rumors and many bad treatments due to him.


    At most, he was reassured that his parents weren''t here now. They woulde in the city at thest day of the preparation of the tournament.


    He somehow got up and used telekinesis on himself. Due to his skill proficiency, he could lift himself.


    The regeneration had healed his overall injuries. But his clothes were tattered, and his body was filled with dust.


    He used telekinesis to dust off the dust, but his clothes were still the problem.


    But it wasn''t a problem, for now, he was just a tier 6 mage at most, and he couldn''t be able to create this much destruction or others will believe.


    He could say, he was affected by the destruction.


    Somehow, he flew to the Mega Huge Inn and registered. The receptionist was a young girl, she gasped looking at the Allen''s condition and asked if he needs help.


    But Allen shook his head and just registered his name that means he arrived at the inn. He left for his room after the registration and entered his room.


    He was so tired, that hey on his bed and fell asleep immediately.


    He didn''t know about the extent of the damage he caused. He will find out tomorrow.


    He wasn''t in a condition to think, nor he could process anything. This may be his greatest battle which caused him tired, injured, and heavy to this extent.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He felt like his body would copse any moment, he didn''t spout any blood, but his whole body was in chaos.


    In the middle of the night, when Allen was in a deep slumber, his body glowed dimly.


    The mana inside his body cured his body internally. The mana also cured his exhaustion and eased his body.


    Allen didn''t know what was happening, but he saw a dream. A dream that would imprint in his mind for years.


    What was that dream?


    No one knows except Allen.


    ********


    Mr. Huan, no one knew what happened to him.


    He was covered in mud and stones. His body was unconscious. Blood gushed out from different parts of his body.


    Injuries and wounds, no one could count them, it was just too many.


    Call it lucky, or say that heaven blessed him. He was still breathing. He was alive albeit of these injuries.


    His name may go down in history.


    What will happen to Allen and Mr. Huan now?


    No one knows, and no one will know what will happen tomorrow.


    Will People find the mages who caused this destruction?


    Will something new happen?


    Will new enemies wille?


    Or everything will return to peace?


    No one knows, and no one will know.


    Allen''s peaceful day may havee to an end.

 Chapter 38 38: A New Day

    "Hmm~"


    Allen stretched his arms as he stood from his bed. His eye scanned around the room to find himself in an unexpected ce.


    He didn''t remember much after yesterday''s battle, he was surprised to find himself unscattered. There were no wounds or injuries on his body like nothing had happened to him.


    He found his clothes tattered, holes that could fit a hand was visible.


    "..."


    Allen changed his clothes quickly and sat on the bed grabbing his head. His head ached like a hammer was constantly hitting it. His skull vibrated after every hit.


    "What the hell happened yesterday?"


    He asked, and tried to remember yesterday''s event. He remembered that he fought with Mr. Huan guy, and at thest moment, he fired many skills and then...


    A sharp spread in his brain. A fog clogged his memories, it may look small, but it made him feel like he forgot a huge thing.


    He exited the room, now that he think about it, he didn''t look at the inn. He wondered if this ''Mega Huge Inn'' name matches the building.


    The room he stayed in seemed small, but he didn''t go back to check it. His eyey in the inn''s hallway.


    "..."


    The beautiful hallway stunned Allen. The smooth texture of the carpet made him feel smooth, or kind of nice. The colorful hallway depicted the art. The color skillfully hid the aura of the master painters.


    The ceiling was 2 times longer than his height. The light hanging on the ceiling made him feel extravagant.


    He couldn''t take off his eye from the wall. Every brick was carefully painted, and every piece of carpet was carefully created. In short, this looked like a mansion where only a King could live.


    He didn''t know how his academy scored the room in this inn.


    He exited the hallway and arrived at the receptionist. The young girl handling the front desk was different than yesterday.


    The young girl stared at Allen and Allen also stared at her. The aura in the hall turned awkward.


    The girl couldn''t bear the atmosphere any longer, so she opened her mouth with a forced smile. "How may I help you, sir?"


    "..."


    Allen was quiet. The girl''s eyes twitched. She waited for an answer...


    After five minutes of silence, the girl spoke again.


    "Sir!SIR!!!"


    Her soft voice raised loud, feeling annoyed and irritated by the guest''s behavior.


    Allen jolted hearing the loud voice and looked at the girl with a frown. "Why did you shout? Am I ten walls far away from you?"


    "..."


    The girl felt like punching this man, but after getting a job at the luxurious inn, she had been trained to maintain her calm at all times.


    Of course, she has to deal with these quirky and weird customers from time to time, so if theyshed out their anger every time, won''t they cause a huge loss to the inn. Not only they will get fired, others inn won''t even hire them.


    "Anyway." Allen shook his head. He felt a headache, and he suddenly cked out. So, he may be at fault, but he didn''t care.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I want to leave the inn. Do I have to register my leaving, or can I leave casually?"


    ''...Hah.'' "Sir, you need to register your both entry and exit." She didn''t make the talk longer with additional information. She just couldn''t handle this guy and may lose her temper if she stayed with him a bit longer.


    "Ok."


    Allen checked his exit and left the inn. As he left the building, he was greeted by the beautiful view of a colorful garden.


    A red carpetid out from the Inn''s gate to the Inn''s building made it look luxurious. Besides the red carpet, a big garden with countless beautiful and colorful flowers bloomed.


    The view attracted the attention of Allen. Many girls could be seen admiring the beauty of the garden while some could be found plucking flowers and putting them in their heads.


    Not only that, some gardeners watered the nt and took care of it carefully and carely. The boys also escorted the girls hoping to make special rtionships with them.


    Allen shook his head, and diverted his attention.


    He walked further and looked at the building. A huge mansion, with five floors came at Allen''s view. He couldn''t help but feel amazed by the building.


    Every stone used to build the mansion was polished, you couldn''t see any dirt on the mansion like it was cleaned daily.


    Allen sighed. He left the Mega Huge Inn and walked on the street. He heard the talks of people.


    "Have you seen the huge destruction at Alley no. 3"


    "Oh yeah, I have heard about it. It seems thousands of people died there." The guy said with a sigh.


    "Yeah, I heard. Many people didn''t dare to go inside. Let it be mage, hunter or fighter or archer. Below tier 5, no one could even breathe the air there."


    "My god, how much strong the people were that fought to this extent!"


    "Who knows. The Sages are searching for them."


    "Wow, Sages are searching for the criminals. They must be pretty strong."


    "ording to what I heard from the Figher-ss Sage, those fighting people must be around Sage-Realm mage."


    "I don''t know if I should feel scared or amazed."


    "..."


    Allen shook his head helplessly. His fight had caused the lives of many people and destroyed many families.


    He felt some regrets, but he quickly removed them from his heart. If they died, then they died, what could I do about it?


    He didn''t care about the lives of ordinary people. It''s not that he was heartless, but being soft-hearted and crying or regretting his action won''t do anything now.


    With a cold face that looked colder than ice, Allen walked ahead to the area where the battle took ce.


    *****


    [No more Power Stone Chapters]


    [I will post 5 Chapters Weekly]

 Chapter 39 39: Preparation

    Hiss!


    Allen held his breath when he looked at the ce where the fight took. Houses? There were none, the tens of buildings that created an alley were destroyed.


    Pieces of stones and dust blew all over the ce. Allen used telekinesis to create a barrier that made Allen untouchable from the dust.


    His eyes widen as he reached the core of the area. A huge pit... Maybe 100ft deep, a huge crater made Allen feel different emotions.


    In the end, he used ''fearless'' and jumped down. His heart throbbed as he reached the ground. The remaining energy of the spell fought each other, turmoiling the energy killed every atom of oxygen.


    Inside the crater, the aura was densely packed, like a world war was taking ce. Except of Sage-Realm (Master Realm), no other beings could go down. If they do, they will just be courting death.


    This includes Allen too. His telekinesis barrier and golden shield broke several times. A second and a barrier broke, another second, another barrier broke.


    If he didn''t have infinite mana, he would have exhausted to death. Mana was being used second by second, without any rest.


    Allen stayed inside the crater for 1 minute and jumped up. He took a deep breath. His emotions were jumbled around, he didn''t know what to feel.


    He returned to his room at the Mega Huge Inn. Every time he sees the name, he didn''t know whether tough or admire this ce.


    But due to heavy emotion, he didn''t care about it. The weight of killing 1000s of people is ced on his shoulder.


    He didn''t feel that regret, but just imagining his family was also killed there, he couldn''t hold it. He slept on his bed.


    No matter what, I should calm down.


    Thinking that Allen stood and flew through the window. In just a matter of hours, he reached his practice ground. The old ground where he got his system.


    The ground deprives of life, the mysterious ground where a powerful array is ced. To make his feeling go, he started firing fireballs.


    Hundreds of fireballs appeared in the sky with a click of his finger. It all rained down with a flutter of his hands.


    The balls fell in a line, as they were queuing to hit the ground.


    As the fireball hit the ground, an ear defeating sound echoed. Sounds of them echoed throughout the forest.


    Be it energy st, or palmser. Wind st or Bomb ster. The explosion erases his pain. As he used spells, his body glowed.


    No, he isn''t going to break through. The bright light was generated by a ck aura that slowly spread on his body.


    From his legs, it crawled upward. Bending it, the ck aura wrapped itself around Allen''s body, and finally, his whole body was covered in the dark aura, and the aura entered inside the body.


    [Ding! Ding! Ding!]


    [Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning!]<novelnext></novelnext>


    Red lines of notification shed on the air.


    [Evil energy is controlling the body. Neutralizing the energy]

    [Emotionless: Erase emotion from the heart when the emotion is in turmoil]

    [Neutrilized the ck aura]


    [........Sucesss]


    A wave of windows appeared all over the air. It was like when a rocket fails tounch, or like when an airne couldn''tnd, the panic that people face in this situation, the system felt the same.


    Allen blinked his eye and felt some changes in his heart. He didn''t feel anything. He felt he became a true monk who had gotten enlightenment.


    Seeing the windows, he understood what happened.


    He sighed a breath of relief and returned to his room at the vi taking 1 hour of time. After entering the room, he sat in a meditation position.


    It''s time to cultivate for real!


    Allen decided to be serious in his practice. He needs good control over his skill, or this event will happen again.


    Allen may not care about others, but he is also a normal boy. He isn''t a murderer, serial killer or psychopath.


    So, he felt the weight of killing many people. But except for brooding over it, he decided just to control his power better.


    He won''t kill many people in the future due to his skill. What if the next time he lost control over his skill like this time when he didn''t think it would create this much destruction.


    Having a grasp over the destruction it would create from the skill is also the duty of a mage. So, Allen went into full serious mode.


    For a whole week, he didn''t step outside the room. With the energy he manipted inside the room, he improved his control over his skills.


    After one week, Allen drastically changed.

 Chapter 40 Family Reunion

    Opening his eyes, Allen looked at the state of the room. It was clean, not a speck of dust was seen. All the stuff was neatly arranged.


    Allen stood, and stretched his body.


    As he looked at the calendar, his eyes nearly popped.


    "Damn, only day left before the tournament!... Oh, today, my parents will alsoe here, need to get ready."


    Saying that he looked at his clothes.


    As he saw the state of his clothes, he wanted to tear them. He pped his head with his hand and sighed.


    Tattered, dirty, smelly... All of his sweat umted in the clothing made it smell so bad. Also, many holes were formed in the clothes.


    "This clothe is good for venttion, at least."


    Sighing, he first took off his clothes. The clothing was heavy as all of his sweat, and dirt was carried by it.


    Afterward, he looked at his body. Not that dirty, but he smelled like shit.


    He walked to the bathroom, fortunately, the room had one, so he didn''t surprise others with the smell of his body.


    He doesn''t want to get cursed at again.


    "Hmm, so good."


    Feeling the coldness of the water, Allen nearly melted down. It had been days since hest showered. After bathing for two hours straight, he changed his clothes.


    He looked at the mirror and talked to himself. "Not that bad, at least I am somewhat handsome."


    He left the building. While he was leaving, many staring and gasping were heard in the hallways. The employee mainly the cleaning staff gave a weird stare at Allen and whispered among themself.


    Allen lowered his head and wanted to cry but held off his tear before marching down the street. The hustling and bustling of people didn''t surprise Allen, he casually passed by them. Although he felt suffocated, he was now refreshed, and was easier.


    He wanted to fly but held off his urge again.


    At the food stall, he bought Fried Stick Potatoes, potatoes that were fried put on a stick, and sold.


    "Umm, so delicious."


    The fries were delicious, he finished them in some minute. He reached near the gate where many carriages were parked.


    Taking a carriage into the city was prohibited, only some special guests including mage academy had permitted.


    On the horde of carriages, many noises were drifting. Peopleing out from these carriages were full of energy, and many smiles andughing could be heard.


    They all anticipated the tournament, some may have their family members in the tournament, while some only wanted to watch it.


    In these people, a waving hand came to Allen''s view.


    "Brother!"


    Riya called to Allen smiling cheerfully. Behind her, two kids also eximed. "Brother!!!" They had tears in their eyes, and they rushed at Allen.


    They hugged Allen.


    Allen''s parents walked slowly and smiled at the reunion of the brother. Riya also flew at Allen and increased the burden.


    Three kids hugged Allen. Allen didn''t know whether tough or cry but patted all of their head with a troubled smile. But he was relieved.


    "Ok guys, let me off. It''s so hot."


    "NO"


    Three of them replied at the same time.


    "Ha"


    Two parentsughed and felt happy to see this heartwarming scene.


    "By the way, what ss did u guys get?"


    Allen asked.


    "I got warrior..."


    "I got soldier..."


    Two of them were pretty depressed. They had the dream of bing mages.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Don''t worry." Allen patted their head. "You guys can be strong with this ss too."


    Allen tried to cheer them.


    "But, we can''t follow you..."


    "Well, you guys can be strong and protect me in the future," Allen said cheerfully. "Let''s go, and eat delicious food!"


    "Ok!"


    Riya was the first one to shout. "I am too hungry." Sheined. "Me too" "Me too!" Two kids followed.


    "Ok, ok."


    Allen somehow fend off these clingy kids and walked toward his parents.


    "You sure are loved, son." His father showed a thumbs-up with a grin.


    "Yeah yeah, How have you guys been?" Allen asked.


    "I am too good, living finely."


    "Oh, don''t listen to his nonsense. He is always worrying about you. He always asked if you are fine or not."


    "Y-you don''t need to tell him that." Allen''s father blushed slightly but smiled. "You also alwaysin about his health and if he is eating healthy food or not."


    "I am his mother, so of course, I will worry."


    "I am also his father, so I also worry about him."


    "Ok. guys, enough. You are embarrassing me here. Let''s all have a good meal."


    The family mixed with the crowd of people on street. They sat in a fine restaurant and ate the food there.


    Chatting,ughing, and smiling, the family spend their time. Seeing this, Allen nearly dropped a tear from his eyes.


    It is so happy to have a family.


    He said inwardly and smiled softly.


    Not long after, they walked to the Mega Huge Inn. Seeing the huge inn like a mansion, the kids eximed and shouted in joy.


    "Shh, you guys will disturb others."


    Allen warned.


    "Ok"


    The kids calmed down.


    Allen guided them to their room and they all rested.

    Thank you for reading this novel...

 Chapter 41 Touranment (1)

    The town was decorated. Many people bustled and hustled in the market. Some were happy, some were energetic and some were excited.


    The happy moment made the town feel unique like it was the happiest ce in the world.


    Many people sat excitedly to look at the duel at a huge coliseum. As the people filled the venue, Allen was in the waiting room.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, Wee here, to the most excited event of this year! The Mage Tournament!"


    "YEAHH!!!!"


    The sound of cheering rang, and people''s excitement made the event more energetic.


    "Our guests have arrived, please wee them with a loud apuse!"


    With the announcer''s voice, a roar of apuse rang in the area.


    A man with a majestic demeanor walked to the arena with several bodyguards guarding him.


    "Our great king, the majesty of the Great Magician Kingdom, a Mighty Sage Tier Realm, has walked into the arena. Please, milord, take the highest seat."


    The king smiled slightly hearing the polite words from the announcer, the king walked with nobility in the area. His aura alone put pressure on many people''s shoulders as they shivered slightly.


    As he reached the top, he sat on a throne put on the top of the arena that provided the best view. Alone with him, some princess and the prince who aren''t taking part in the tournament sat below him.


    After him, three old men without any guard walked slowly to the arena.


    "Mighty Mage Academy. Head, Gu Hian. Please take the judge seat."


    "Magic Academy. Head, Hin Higan. Please take the judge seat."


    "Great Earth Academy. Head, Eren Ling. Please take the judge seat."


    With this, the three elders sat on three VIP seats. With their demeanor, one wouldn''t need to guess their rank. The way they walk shows their elegance. Despite being old, their pressure alone can put the king in danger.


    After them, many other heads of other academies walked, but since they were of low character, people didn''t pay that much attention to them.


    "Now, all our guests are here! Let''s start the official Mage Tournament!"


    "All the contestant have their badge number, so we will draw a random draw. If your badge number is called, you wille to the arena!"


    After that, the announcer took a deep breath. Everyone''s heart was beating heavily, and with an excited face, they waited.


    "For our first round, the lucky draw has revealed the number... 402 and 511. Please enter the arena!"


    "Yeah!"


    As the crowd cheered, two individuals entered the arena. Wearing robes, they elegantly entered the arena with smiles on their face.


    "Now, what do we have here!  Our first two contestants are Lin Feng from Mighty Mage Academy and Huan Jing from Great Earth Academy. Both are from two big academies, now let''s see who will be the victor in this round!"


    "Lin Feng, I will bet on you!"


    "Huan Jing, I put all my money on you!"


    As Huan and Lin meet each other, they shook their hand.


    "Hello brother, from another mother."


    Lin Fend greeted.


    "Hello brother, from another father."


    Huan Jing replied.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Both smiling hid their hostility. Under the facade of smiley faces, they fought with their eyes.


    The big three academies are enemies of each other, be it, teachers or students, everyone is each one enemy.


    "Ok then, let the battle begin!"


    At announcer''s words, both raised their hands.


    "sma!"


    A round blue ball floated around Ling Fen. He fired it at Huan.


    Huan also shouted. "Energy Ball!"


    A blue ball of energy was shot at Lin.


    Both balls of energy collided and an ear-deafening explosion urred.


    Both jumped and cast their spells.


    "Small Bomb!"


    "Energy Barrier!"


    "Swift!"


    "Double Jump!"


    As the match intensified, more mana was used. The battle became the match of endurance of mana. As they used mana, both tier 5 magesst for 30 minutes.


    At thest end, the winner was decided.


    "Power Surge!"


    Huan cast, being near to Lin, he used swift. Instantly he appeared before Lin. Lin also used swift to dodge, but his mana was depleted and he couldn''t use it.


    "Shit!"


    He cursed before a punchnded on his stomach.


    "Gwack!"


    He was flung back and hit the arena''s wall vomiting a mouthful of blood.


    The audience was silent for a moment, but just as one started pping, everyone started cheering. The announcer immediately calmed the situation and announced.


    "The winner of this round goes to Huan Jing."


    "Yeah!"


    Cheers from the audience rang in the arena. The one who won the bitting danced while those who lose gloomed and cursed at Lin Feng.


    And the match continued.


    From one battle to another battle, many participants were injured and defeated. Some barely won while some just used a flick of a finger.


    Some overpowered the opponent and some put the enemy near to death.


    Finally, the name Allen was announced. And Allen''s first match, began!

 Chapter 42 Tournament (2)

    Allen arrived at the stage. His rival was a girl from another Academy. She was holding a staff and looked quite shy.


    Allen looked at her with an expressionless face and waited for the match to begin.


    As the two faced each other, the announcer shouted.


    "Let the match... begin!"


    Just as the announcer announced, the girl stretched her staff and cast.


    "Ice Rain!"


    Small clouds appeared in the sky and started pouring spiky ice. Those ice were sharp and pointy. If someone gets hit by it, they won''t escape with mere injury."


    Allen blinked his eyes at her quick reaction. He raised his hand and cast "Golden Defensive Shield" casually.


    A barrier surrounded him and the ice spike hit the barrier. The ice couldn''t create a dent in the barrier let alone scratch it.


    But the girl was quick again. When the ice just hit the barrier, she had already cast another spell.


    "Ice Spears"


    Long spears of ice appeared behind her back and moved at her will. She swiped her hand and those ice zoomed at Allen.


    The ice hit the barrier repeatedly which created a crack. Ren moved sideways just as his barrier broke.


    Casting pyrost, he dealt with the remaining ice spears.


    The girl didn''t lose her confidence.


    "Freeze!"


    Her body glowed. The glow transmitted into the ground. The light moved in a line and sped toward Allen.


    It speed was fast and as it reached near Allen, Allen dodged it. He moved sideways using quick speed. But as he did that, the light also changed its direction and touched Allen.


    With the touch, a chill spread throughout Allen''s body. His body froze and ice started consuming him from his leg.


    Allen blink and used pyrost. He cast ten pyrost and use it to melt the ice.


    As the ice moved up repeatedly, the fire melt it down at the same speed. While he was busy with that, the girl had taken a deep breath.


    She raised her hand and countless shards of ice hovered behind her back.


    Those shards of ice zoomed toward Allen. Allen cast a golden defensive shield, but she was a tier 4 mage. So her attack easily created a crack in his barrier.


    As the barrier got cracked, Allen fixed it using his mana.


    And he also used a tower of fire.


    Ten small towers of fire little bigger than himself surrounded him. Those ice melted the moment it touched the fire.


    And those countless ice shards became useless. The tower of fire increased the temperature and the ice that was consuming him melted down to liquid.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The girl panted heavily and couldn''t continue to cast spells. She tried to move, but Allen used quick speed and punched her stomach.


    He punched her a little strongly.


    "Gah!"


    She grunted and fell unconscious on his arms.


    "The winner is Allen!"


    The announcer announced loudly.


    "Woooooooo!"


    "Yaaaaaaa!"


    The crowd cheered.


    They had bet on him, so naturally, they were happy when they saw him winning. Their match wasn''t that shy but it was a good one.


    After that, another match started.


    He had won the first round, and his next turn came after ten battles.


    He easily defeated his opponent.


    ****************


    "Our first day hase to end!" The announcer announced enthusiastically.


    "The remaining battle will finish tomorrow! Our second match will be Team Battle. The top 1000 will participate in this match. Let''s meet tomorrow!"


    With that, the first day of the tournament ended.


    The spectators left the venue. Some went with smiles on their face, some walked whileughing, while some were sad and crying.


    Allen also returned to his inn and rested.


    The next day, the remaining participants finished their match.


    And after that day, the team battle arrived.


    ********


    Sorry.


    We had a power outage here due to the explosion of the transmitter caused by heavy rain. Also, my PC was broken.


    I will upload it daily now.


    Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Chapter 43 Team Battle (1)

    In the big stadium filled with many people, the announcer was enthusiastic as always. He officially announced the Team Battle round.


    Team Battle, a battle, it''s like a battle royal game. This doesn''t take in this small stadium but in the open forest.


    "Our esteem guest, the emperor himself will use the great space magic. Academy''s head will support the emperor and open a portal to the Great Forest of Battle. That is a forest created by the spell that our esteem honored mages have created."


    The announcer took a deep breath.


    "So, rules of team battle are simple. There should be no cheating. The cheating includes magic items, potions, and even any pets or familiars, not any of them are allowed. You should be aware, that you are being watched every second.


    Second, one party can''t team up with another party. If two parties team up, they both will be disqualified.


    Third, the team members should be near a 100m radius. If any team members wander further from each other, the team will be disqualified.


    This match is for us to see your teamwork, how you make decisions and how will you co-operate. Now, you guys have the right to team up yourself. Find a member of your team and choose a leader. The time is only 1 hour."


    In the crowd, Allen was alone. He didn''t know many people from his own academy. But thankfully, the team should only include up to 5 members.


    And he got a team pretty easily.


    "Yo, Allen." Jin, the muscr guy walked toward him with his old friendly smile. Twodies walked toward him. Mina and Rena trotted near Allen and joined.


    "So, we four will form a team?" Allen asked.


    "Yeah."


    "Yeah."


    "Yeah."


    The three of them nodded. They had seen Allen''s power and how he is a master of space spells. Not to mention, he showed mastery in fire magic too.


    While others may think of him as normal since he is the only tier 4. But for them, they know he can be a good teammate.


    "Now, weck one member."


    Allen frowned. But he didn''t have to wander around to search for a teammate as heaven has blessed him today.


    A guy walked toward them. He looked shy and his hands were shaking.


    "C-C-C-Can I-I j-jo-joo-join your team!"


    The guy seemed to be desperate as he bowed his head.


    The guy didn''t look that special. His face was average, he was slim and looked weak. From his aura, he seemed to be a tier 4 mage.


    "Sure, we were short of one anyway. Anyone, anyins?"


    ""No.""


    "So, wee to the team."


    "T-Thank you."


    The guy bowed his head repeatedly like how birds peck their food.


    "What''s your name?"


    Jin walked toward that guy and wrapped his hand around his neck.


    "R-Ruhan."


    "Nice. I am Jin."<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I am Allen."


    "I am Mina."


    "I am R-Rena."


    After the introduction ceremony ended, the squad of five members held their first meeting.


    Topic of the meeting - Who will be the Captain?


    "Now, as our team is formed. Who will be the captain?" Mina asked.


    "Not me." Allen stepped back. He didn''t want to lead others since he is bad at that.


    "I-I can''t too," Ruhan said with his head lowered.


    "I can''t too..." Rena said softly.


    "Then, I will." Jin raised his hand. He seemed to be the best candidate for the leader as he is social like heck.


    "Ok, anyins?" Mina asked.


    Everybody shook their head.


    Topic for the second meeting - What will be the team name?


    "Now that we have a team and leader, what will we put the team''s name?" Allen stated.


    "Name?" Mina thought.


    "How about, Phoneix Guys" Jin put his rmendation.


    "Phoneix Guys sounds kinda...weird. And we are girls, not guys, so rejected." Mina didn''t waste a second rejecting that name.


    "H-How about, Special Team" Ruhan told his idea.


    "It sounds nd." This time Allen rejected it.


    "Hmm..." Rena thought. "Then, how about... The Unstoppable Crew"


    "The names sound kind of cool." Mina nodded with satisfaction.


    "I have noints." Jin also nodded.


    "T-The name is good." Ruhan smiled.


    Only Allen''s suggestion was left.

 Chapter 44 Team Battle (2)

    "Let''s begin the Team Battle!"


    As the announcer announced, a light shed in the stadium.


    The Wizard Warriors, the Allen group chose the name at thest, found themselves in the middle of a forest surrounded by small rocks and big trees.


    "So, we are here," Allenmented while observing the surrounding.


    "Let''s go," Mina said.


    And others nodded.


    Allen''s crew moved ahead.


    The main focus of this game is to survive to the end. The top 100 members or 20 groups at the end will win.


    Even if they defeat others or hide, it doesn''t matter long as they are not defeated until the end.


    The Wizard Warrier leaped on the tree. All of them scanned their surroundings and reported while jumping from one tree to another.


    Swish!


    Suddenly, a gust of wind hit Allen. Fortunately, the shot missed and hit the tree. Small damage was found in the tree.


    "What?" Allen frowned and immediately warned others.


    The five of them scattered around and searched while being cautious. Being together means, the enemy would have more targets to hit at once, while scattering would make the sniper choose one specific target.


    While others may also be snipers, for now, they decided to see if they can find the enemy or not.


    Swish!


    The wind again came at Allen however this time, it was more than one. Tens of them attacked him at the same time.


    Allen frowned and snapped his finger. A small barrier surrounded him. And as the wind hit the barrier, he clicked his finger.


    Invisible force bound the wind and he got control over them. Using telekinesis, he fired the wind at different ces.


    The wind hit one tree, and a shadow passed by it. Allen narrowed his eye and immediately thought it was a trap.


    However, before he could move, countless swords made up of mana hit him. Fortunately, his barrier was still up and the sword barely cause any damage.


    But, the swords were followed by balls of fire and sma balls.


    These two spells caused big damage around the barrier. Allen fixed it immediately and called for his teammate.


    Hearing an explosion, the four members immediately rushed toward Allen. But, they were all blocked by other group members.


    A person dressed in ck sneakily hit Rena. The person indeed hit her neck, but except for the feeling of bones and skin, he felt something like steel.


    Rena was immediately alert and cast Wind Burst.


    A strong gust of wind blew from her body. The assassin was forced back. Rena''s eyes fell on him and she used Magical Wind Boot. Her legs were covered by air, and her speed increased by a ton.


    She charged at the assassin, but he immediately jumped and disappeared into the trees.


    Likewise, on the other side, Mina was blocked by a fire element user. He controlled fire.


    Mina frowned and she summoned snowballs. Those snowballs weren''t soft. They were covered by the shell of hard ice and spikes erected from it.


    She controlled it and shooter the guy.


    "Heh," He smirked.


    He summoned fireballs. Ten fireballs hovered around it. Except for traditionally using the fireball, he manipted the fire.


    The balls turned intoyers of fire. It wrapped around his body and the ice balls melted the moment they touched his body.


    The boy moved to Mina, she was an ice-element user. She had more ice spells, so she was in a pinch.


    The guy took ten steps and took out the fire cover. He directed the fire like a water wave. The fire wave tried to engulf Mina, but she created a bigyer of ice in front of her. That ice was strong enough to extinguish the fire. But it also melted a ton.


    "Tch!" She clicked her tongue in annoyance and took a step back.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In the Jin area, he met an earth-element guy. He was a body type, so the match was between earth and human.


    Not in a dramatic way though.


    The earth-element guy hid under the soil and controlled the soil. Thend around Jin formed a ripple and he slowly dragged inside the soil.


    But he jumped. His sheer strength broke the soil drip on him. Hended on the tree and looked down.


    While the guy could control soil, he can''t control the trees.


    But the guy had another n in his mind. He wrapped the soil around the tree and made it his domain.


    He created a spike out of the soil and appeared behind Jin with the spike. He tried to stab him, but Jin instantly turned and grabbed the spike.


    With a smile, he punched the guy. But his force was absorbed by the soil which wrapped around the guy''s body.


    The soil hit his face, Jin couldn''t help but close his eyes. And the guy again hid in the soil.


    Jin became annoyed.


    "Strength Enhancer, Jump Strike!"


    He cast after jumping. Hends on the ground with immense force. Thend shook and a small crater formed on the ground.


    The guy didn''t react in time and the force hit him. He was flung outside of the soil andnded on the surface.


    Jin without wasting a breath rushed at the guy with the intention to hit him. But thend behind Jin trembled. Thend raised and took the shape of a hand.


    The guy was joining his palm and closing his eyes. His eyes glow the moment he opened them. The soil hand formed a fist and attacked Jin.


    "Strength Enhancer"


    He mumbled.


    Jin also formed a fist and struck at the fist that wasing at him. Two fists collided and a small force was generated.


    The soil hand was pushed back while Jin''s hand trembled slightly.


    While the three of them were battling, Ruhan on the other hand cowered behind the tree. His opponent was a girl. And she had a nasty smile on her face.


    "Where are you~ Your big sister wants to meet you." The girl said while throwing a ball of electricity.


    She had a smiley face, while her hands were filled with sparks of electricity.


    Ruhan cowered behind one specific tree and couldn''t figure out what to do.


    "Hey~"


    Another ball of electricity hit the tree, the electricity hit the tree right beside where Ruhan was hiding.


    He trembled. He was a coward, but...


    As the electricity hit the tree where Ruhan was, the tree''s branches moved and blocked the attack.


    "Oho..."


    The girl was surprised, but her surprised face was filled with a sadistic smile.


    "Let''s see, who will win. The tree, or my electricity!"


    ********


    Author Note: I am somewhat bad with dialogue in the middle of battle. So, I just made them battle and didn''t put that much dialogue since I didn''t know what will they talk about.


    Only the girl talked since she didn''t battle head-on with Ruhan.


    So, hope it is good...


    The next chapter will also be full of battle...

 Chapter 45 Team Battle (3)

    (I will put spell names and casting in <strong>Bold</strong>. If you feel annoyed or immersion breaking (if it already hasn''t been broken by my wacky writing) pleasement)


    ******************************


    On Allen''s side, countless swords hovered in the sky that hit Allen. Allen blocked those swords using his <strong>golden defensive barrier</strong> and hid behind the tree.


    As the sword again poured down, he cast <strong>telekinesis.</strong> The magical thread groped the swords. Countless magical strings held the swords and block them from falling down.


    Floating swords moved at Allen''s will. He threw the sword at the sky. Those swords fell in different directions stabbing the defenseless trees.


    The sword vanished as its goal of stabbing was fulfilled. A shadow passed by a tree. There you are! Allen immediately circted the mana around his body. Silently, he cast <strong>Quick Speed,</strong> as the enemy was human.


    If he yell or shout, he would probably create a countereffect of his spell. So, being silent is the key to winning a battle.


    Allen chased the shadow, which he could barely make a figure out of it. A boy wearing ck clothes covered his face with a mask, and pretty much looked like a ninja. From the spells he used, Allen could figure that he was a wind element mage.


    The wind blew around his feet making his speed faster. However, Allen with his spell was near to him and was going to catch him.


    Feeling Allen behind his back, the ninja boy cast something. His lips moved but not a sound was generated. The wind around his legs intensified and rotated like a tornado as fast air blew behind his back giving him more speed.


    His speed doubled and he left Allen a heck behind. Allen blinked for a moment. But instantly, he hovered in the air with his <strong>telekinesis </strong>spell and used <strong>small teleport.</strong>


    In the mid-air, while flying he teleported 10m ahead.


    The boy who was running ahead couldn''t escape from Allen''s gaze. Allen raised his hand and cast <strong>Energy st, Windst.</strong>


    The boy felt danger. He was at the edge of the branch. He turned and face the spells, but except for dodging. He fell from the branch with just hands raised sideway doing T-pose.


    Tens of wind balls hovered in the air. The balls were covered with spinning des of wind. The wind ball was thrown as the boy fell down doing T-posing.


    The wind balls collided with <strong>Energy st</strong> and <strong>Wind st.</strong> A small force was created and the remaining wind balls charged toward Allen.


    The wind balls cut everything that came his way. It created a hole in the middle of the tree, cut branches, and move on.


    Its spinning de was sharp. Allen frowned a bit, but he repeatedly cast <strong>Energy st.</strong> Two spells collided and a small explosion urred.


    When Allen''s eyes scanned to find the boy, he pretty much was alone. The boy''s trace had disappeared. He decided to move to help others, as he had heard trouble on their part.


    But, a wind de suddenly appeared behind, close to his body. Allen jolted feeling the appearance of sudden energy behind him. He immediately cast <strong>Golden Defensive Shield,</strong> but, before the wind de could touch him, a big rotating bluepressed wind ball hit the barrier.


    The ninja boy appeared behind Allen''s barrier and used that skill.


    A ball of wind, the size of a football was rotating in its fixed axis emitting blue energy around its surface.


    "Pff, is that rasengan from Naruto!"


    Allen was amazed by the creativity, as even spells from anime shows were here. But he didn''t have time to admire the spell, the <anno data-annotation-id="c49520e8-c82f-2daf-be02-fc82f1fbbdb4">blue wind ball </anno>had already created cracks in his barrier.


    He immediately fixed the barrier while the wind de had hit the barrier from another side. Fortunately, not much damage was caused to the barrier.


    The ninja boy clicked his tongue and ran back. But Allen didn''t give him another chance. He immediately used <strong>Small Teleport</strong> to catch up to the guy and used <strong>Super Strength. </strong>The punch caught him off-guard and he tried to block the attack with his hand.<novelnext></novelnext>


    But, the punch packed some strength and flung him back. He was thrown 5 meters far and hit the tree.


    He vomited blood. Allen could see a red stain on his ck mask. His lips curled up and he teleported near the guy again. He held the man and threw him up before using <strong>Wind st.</strong>


    As the wind exploded and flung the boy again, additional <strong>Energy st</strong> hit him. He was thrown with more speed and hit the tree with more force. Some crack appeared on the tree steam, but it wasn''t serious for the tree.


    His back may have broken. He fell to the ground and hit the ground.


    The red light emitted from his body and a holographic text hovered.


    [Death]


    ...


    Allen squinted at the text and ignored it.


    Death, here means the enemy is critically injured and won''t be able to participate in the battle. In one word, he is disqualified. But if his team managed to win, he will also advance to the next battle.


    This forest is the domain of heads of Mage Academy. So, they could make sure, no death take ce. And the authority is distributed to all the heads of the academy participating here, so no power monopoly would ur.


    While Allen dealt with his enemy, others were facing their enemies too.


    On Rena''s side, she was panting heavily. She was exhausted. The assassin sneak attack her, but she was able to sense him as he got close.


    Casting wind spells, she blocked off the daggering to her neck. The assassin was a ck art user, as his spells were more focused on shadows and hiding.


    ck art user, or in a sense Shadow elemental guy, the assassin was. Rena was annoyed by the constant hiding of the assassin, not to mention he was patient as he hid for several minutes and only appear when Rena''s guard was down.

 Chapter 46 Team Battle (4)

    Rena blinked her eyes repeatedly as the assassin hid somewhere. She took a deep breath and let out all of her mana. The mana turn into the wind and blew fiercely.


    She had grasped the wind around her surrounding. "Tier 5 spell, <strong>Wind Domain</strong>." She cast. She had grasped the wind around her area and blocked the oxygen.


    Only she had oxygen as she was the ruler of this area for some moment. The branches froze, the tress came to a still, and the grass along with flowers like sad lowered their head.


    I could probably hold for 10 minutes.


    Her expression turned grim. Her body trembled, the skill was quite tiring. It put the troll in her body, but biting her lips, she endured it.


    The assassin couldn''t breathe and had to break the cover. He could hold his breath for some minutes, but he wasn''t capable of holding for 10 minutes.


    He rushed at Rena silently, but since it was her domain, she felt the slight movement in the air. She quickly turned at Assasin. Her eyes glow slightly, and the wind in the area blew fiercely at the assassin.


    He was flung back, as the wind pushed him. He fell to the ground and was going to hide, but his body was held by the wind that pressed him from all directions.


    He murmured something, and his body glow ck. His whole body was covered by the veil of dark light and he broke free from the darkness.


    His speed fasten as his body dissolved to the ground mixing with the tree''s shadow. Not only that, as he mixed with the tree shadow, he moved the tree.


    The shadow moment moved the tree. The branch struck Rena, but the wind blew sharply and cut the branches.


    The long shadow sneakily came toward Rena. Her eyes fell on the stretching shadow. She jumped and hovered in the air.


    She controlled the wind and blocked the sunlighting by making trees move. The assassin saw that and instantly came out from the shadow.


    But this time, he was caught. Since he couldn''t breathe, he stagger and fell to the ground.


    But Rena didn''t care as she stare at him. Until, her domain was forcefully invaded by an unknown force, and she too fell to the ground.


    [Death]


    The assassin had beenbeled dead.


    But Rena just fell unconscious, so she wasn''tbeled dead.


    *******************


    At Mina''s side, the fire guy and Mina had an intense battle.


    Mina''s clothes were tattered, and her stomach was revealed. Her meaty thighs showed glimpsed from the holes in her stocking.


    Mina was breathing roughly while the fire guy also looked somewhat exhausted.


    With a click of his finger, a ball of fire appeared that soon spin. It changed its color to blue. "


    The guy shouted. A blue fire appeared in the air. More than hundreds blue me appeared. They all fire down at Mena.


    She took a deep breath and covered herself with an Ice shield. The shield appeared in front of her and looked quite sturdy.


    But as blue me hit it, the ice melted.


    Until the final blue me hit the ice, the ice shield crumbled down.


    Mina felt her mana depleting rapidly. Her body weaken, and she swiped the sweat from her forehead.


    She charged at the fire guy. "<strong>Ice Punch!" </strong>Her hands were covered with ice like boxing gloves. The boy also didn''t stay idle.


    "<strong>Fire Spear!"</strong><novelnext></novelnext>


    <strong></strong>A long spear emitting fire came to his hand. It was hot, but the boy didn''t feel any hotness. He tried to stab Mena, but she jumped and cast <strong>Ice Sheild.</strong> Steeping on that ice, she did a ck flip. She dodged the spear gracefully andnded behind the boy.


    Before the boy could turn, she let out a war cry and punched his back with all of her strength. The ice in her hand shattered as the boy let out a painful cry.


    He fell to the ground groaning in pain when suddenly a spear made up of ice pierced his back.


    Puff!


    He let out a mouthful of blood and suddenly faint green light emitted on his back. His injury was healed and he fell unconscious.


    [Death]


    hovered in the mid-air. Mina sat on the ground heaving sigh of relief.


    She didn''t even care if enemies are looking at her. She didn''t have the energy even to move her fingers.


    ********


    Jin''s side was hectic. The ground shook, and craters were formed. A shirtless man aka Jin and the robed man, a.k.a name unknown.


    The ground raised above the surface and tried to squeeze Jin, but he used his strength to crumble the ground.


    The guy clicked his tongue.


    Their fighting intensified. The soil rose like snakes and tried to bind Jin. But he grabbed the rope and pulled it fiercely.


    Lumps of soil came out.


    The two of them face for a while before both of them copsed to the ground due to mana depletion.


    On the ground, two men fell unconscious. No text hovered this time.


    On the other side, where Ruhan was cowering and the girl was shooting electrify, their battle didn''t advance that much.


    The electricity hit the tree, but the tree didn''t even get a scratch. Ruhan''s mana depleted as other trees joined the fun.


    The branches strike at the girl, but she dodged them skillfully. She cast <strong>electricity des,</strong> the trees blocked them with their branches. But as a result, their branches were cut.


    And so the battle intensified.

    The extra chapter will release next Saturday. Four Chapters will be released the same day if I obtain 1,000 ps. 1 Chapter a day, so 7 weekly.

 Chapter 47 Team Battle (5)

    The tree branches fought the electricity to protect Ruhan like a mother protecting her child. Ruhan after a moment stopped cowering. He stood up.


    He timidly peaked out of the tree. His face changed drastically. His red eyes glow and a proud smile covered his face.


    "Oh, you finally came out." The girl smiled yfully. Her hands glow blue and sparks of electricity emitted from her palms. A thunder shape blue electricity appeared in her hands which she held tightly.


    She aimed at Ruhan who wasn''t moving and threw the electricity. The blot of electricity zoomed toward Ruhan.


    When the electricity was an inch behind Ruhan''s head, the ground shook and lumps of soil raised. The electricity bolt hit the soil and dissipated.


    The girl''s eyes widen.


    "Spirit Help"


    Sparks generated in his eyes and his body glow bright golden. The trees started dancing, thend soil started melting, and the wind blew fiercely.


    Trees branches stretched near Ruhan, the wind blew from his back, and the ground below him raised. He looked majestic as a king sitting on the throne. His face was serious and cold, then suddenly, his cold face was filled with a mischievous smile.


    A smile that will put fear in anyone''s mind, a smile that is directed toward the prey. The girl felt a chill in her spine, and she took a step back.


    The branches zoomed toward the girl. The electricity bolt released from her hand hit the branches, but they were tossed aside by the wind that followed the branches.


    The ground below the girl formed a ripple and she was slowly dragged below.


    "Electricity Field!"


    She shouted gritting her teeth. Her yful face disappeared and a serious face overtook her. The ground below her stopped melting. Sparks of electricity generated from the ground and a barrier of electricity covered her.


    As she walked, the barrier moved along her. The trees that strike at the barrier got zapped by electricity and burnt. While trees were a bad conductor of electricity, the electricity released from the girl''s barrier was deadly that didn''t look at the conductor except it burnt and zapped anything that came to its contact.


    She moved toward the boy. "Electricity rope" She murmured and a long line of electricity emitted from her palm. The electricity took the shape of rope and charged at Ruhan.


    Lumps of soil covered his body as electricity came near, the electricity couldn''t burn or zap the ground.


    The soil behind the girl moved and covered the barrier. The barrier couldn''t protect itself from the soil and her field of vision was reced by the darkness.


    Suddenly, the wind blew fiercely and soft leaves became sharper-like des. They were all fired at the barrier. Mixing with the soil, they were effective against the electricity barrier.


    The barrier broke down, and the girl was left venerable. The branches wrapped her body and a cracking sound echoed. The girl before she could react fell unconscious.


    Ruhan wasn''t satisfied as hemanded the trees to squeeze the girl tighter. At this rate, the girl was going to die. But a red light emitted from the girl''s body and the branches burnt down. The girlnded slowly and the green light blinded the surrounding.


    Death hung over her head and a red barrier protected her.


    Ruhan jolted and looked at her and there as he came back to his sense. He looked here and there before running back to the crew.


    *************


    On the other side, Allen contacted his teammates and met in the trees.


    "Are you all good?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Yeah."


    Everyone nodded.


    Ruhan also joined them.


    After that, they went around the battle with others and disyed some level of coordination. Leaping from trees to trees, hiding in the shadows, and exploring the forest, the crew spent their time.


    The rule was to survive so they were cautious all the time.


    After a full day, a loud dinging stating that the team battle was over.


    Only one round was left.


    Final battle.


    The duel between top yers, but with a twist of rules.


    This battle would be a death battle.


    Who dies first, will lose and who survives will win.


    Death is just an illusion as the head of the academy would cast many spells that will make sure no one will die really.


    The death would be reincarnated the moment he dies.


    There will be 100 participants. The match was fixed for next week, as for rest for the participant. The final battle will be the most exciting for the audition.


    Allen returned to the inn after meeting with his family. Laying in the bed, he nodded off. The next morning went normally so did the day after that.


    He went shopping, ate delicious food, trained his magic, and spent his days peacefully.


    Until next week, not a noteworthy thing happened. A nice week was spent by Allen.


    The next week, in the stadium the whole crowd cheered, the announcer cleared his throat and announced the start of the final battle.


    Audiences were excited, and so did the battlers. Allen was ready for battle too. He watched others battling.


    Lighting shed, the temperature rose, and dropped, the ground shook, and other things took ce. Allen got his chance to fight after waiting for some hours.


    With determined eyes, he walked to the stage.


    **********************

    Well, that''s all I had to say. See ya, if you stick to this novel. Bye Bye Bye Bye.

 Chapter 48 Final Battle

    On the stage, Allennded gracefully. In front of him was a guy who had a scar on his eyes. With a smirk, his body emitted blue light.


    As the announcer began the battle, the guy leaped toward Allen. He formed a fist and strike at Allen. Allen activated his golden defense barrier and blocked the attack. But the punch directly shattered the barrier. Allen was pushed back.


    He cast quick speed and slippery feet. His speed increased more as he cast blessing. Activating great strength, he stacked spell on spell on himself.


    His body emitted a faint glow of red. He raised his hand and countless fireballs covered the skill. Small bombs also appeared beside the fireball and poured down at his opponent. The guy with his super speed dodged the fireball and explosion. His body glows brightly when a fireball and a bomb hit him.


    When the smoke faded, the guy was perfectly fine. He didn''t even get a scratch on his skin. The guy jumped and raised his hand. Allen jumped back, the guy hit the ground. A huge force was created and a big crater formed on the ground which was fixed instantly.


    Magical Sword, Fireball, Bomb ster, Spike, Pir of Icy Tornado, Spinning fire, Tower of Fire, Minor Curse, all of these skills were cast one by one.


    The whole area was filled with a variety of attacks that fell on the ground. The whole stage was covered by the explosion. Temperature skyrocketed, and the ground got immense damage. The state of the guy was unknown.


    But Allen didn''t wait for the guy, he cast a palmser and killing ray. He also used Space Defying Attack. Red light and the tore of the sky were invisible as they were covered by the dense smoke on the stage.


    Before the smoke even scattered from the ground, a whistle was blown. The announcer announced Allen as the winner.


    After ten minutes, the smoke disappeared, and the guy figure was visible. Blood gushed out from his body and he had critical injuries in his body.


    If it wasn''t for the headmaster, he would have died.


    The round ended.


    Allen round came after some hours.


    After winning two rounds, he was selected for the quarter-final.


    He won matches row by row and even won the semi-final.


    In the final battle, he had an intense fight with his opponent.


    In thest, he won the fight.


    He was rewarded.


    *****************************************


    Many days went by, and he got into the master realm.


    He spent his life in the world, married and then spent all of his time peacefully. He died at old age.


    ****************

    Final warning.


    Well, anyway, from now on this novel will go for word count. Like I am doing now.

 Chapter 49 I Got Infinite Mana

    (Whole New Plot)


    ****************


    It was a special day for me. In front of a small table, there was chicken meat and other food stacked. Since I live alone, all of these are prepared by myself.


    Today, I was awakened. I got indescribable energy running through my mind. My anticipation is on one thing.


    [Your status window will be updated in (00:01:59)]


    In only 2 minutes, I can see what my stats are.


    This world turned into hell when a dungeon suddenly appeared. Monsters exited the dungeon and conquered many humannds.


    Small dungeons were different. Monsters couldn''t leave small dungeon but they could leave when the event called monster outbreak urs. Chaos and destruction filled the whole world, and I know that event ended barely 5 years ago.


    Humans have conquered 20% of the totalnd and hundreds of millions of people live. Awakened people who had great power emerged and clear the dungeon daily.


    These people found skill books from the monster corpses and the whole human world changed. Hunters are rising daily and they all have immense power. But, still human hasn''t been able to destroy humans and recover all thends.


    [Status Window Created]


    [Allen]


    [Strength: 10]


    [Vitality: 10]


    [Mana: ¡Þ]


    [Skill(s): (Electric Ball -D)]


    "Huh?"


    My eyes widen to see the infinite signs in the mana bar.


    My body trembled, and I rubbed my eyes weather to check if I was imagining things.


    But the sign was still there.


    "Is my mana infinite?"


    This first question popped into my mind.


    Awakened hunters could either be awakened naturally or by absorbing skill books. Since I am an orphan and poor, artificial awakening is something I can''t achieve, but my luck was great since I awakened naturally.


    I decided to just check my mana by casting skill.


    "Electric Ball." Since it is a natural awakening, my skill is random. But I didn''t expect to gain D-rank skills from the start.


    [Eletric Ball: Create a ball of electricity that zap the enemy on contact and gives continuous damage.]


    *****


    I left my house which was a small run-down building. There isn''t any garden nor any good facility. Well, this cheap house is something I can afford. I do manualbor for living.


    After walking many steps, I came across a ground which was filled with grass. The ground size was small, so no one built a house here. It is used by some local hunters to train. There weren''t many people here.


    I looked up and saw a bright moon illuminating the world. The stars beside the moon twinkled. The pollution has decreased tremendously, so seeing stars in the sky became normal. Five years ago, stars were barely visible, and now groups of them beautifully twinkle in the sky.


    Shaking my head, I looked in front. I took a deep breath and raised my hands.


    "Electric Ball"


    I cast it softly so as not to disturb others.


    A blue ball the size of a football hovered in my hands. Sparks were emitting from the ball that brighten the surroundings and it looked dangerous. I locked my eyes on the grass and manipte the electric ball.


    With a force, the electric ball hit the grass. Electric sparks covered the grass and the ground was covered in blue light.


    There weren''t any bugs there, so I didn''t get to see its effect on living creatures. The ground stopped illuminating after some minutes.


    I wanted to cast more, but seeing its effect, I held the urge. If I continuously use it, the ground will lighten and the neighbors willin. Everybody in this world could only rest in their sleep. And I know better how much important sleep is.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Since I was enthusiastic to check my skill, I forgot it was night. Well since I came here, I decided to use it once. I left the ground and returned to my house.


    I jumped on the bed andy while grinning. I was too excited to fall asleep. But somehow, I fell into a deep slumber.


    ********


    Next day-


    As the sun came into the horizon, I woke up. Freshening up by washing my face and brushing my teeth, I rushed to the ground.


    Fortunately, the ground was in a ce where people rarely pass by. And today, there weren''t that hunters. Maybe, due to being early. I don''t know, I rarelye here.


    Sometimes, Ie here to see how hunters train, and how amazing their power is. And today, I came here to test my own powers. The feeling is kinda unable to describe in words.


    I stand where I was standing yesterday.


    "Electric Ball"


    I cast it, and a ball full of electricity spitting electric sparks hovered in my palm. The electric ball was fired at the ground, and the ground lit in blue.


    Only a small area was affected and since it was bright, one could hardly see the blue electricity on the ground. But, I can''t leave it like this, if someone identally steps, they will get zapped with electricity.


    I wasn''t feeling tired, since it was my first cast of the day. I again cast the skill.


    "Electric Ball... Electric Ball... Electric Ball"


    With each cast, my breathing became rough. It wasn''t due to exhaustion, instead, I was getting excited the more spell I cast.


    Ten times, fifteen times, Thirty Times, Fifty Times, I couldn''t believe it as I cast it repeatedly.


    From my knowledge and inquiry from hunters, I knew every hunter starts with F-rank. So, the mana they have is limited, and one could barely cast D-rank skill two times. And they need to rest for an hour to refill their mana.


    And I had 25 times more mana than them.


    I continued to cast the skill.


    10 times, 20 times, my mana surpassed the barrier of D-rank hunter. A D-rank hunter can cast a D-rank skill 20 times.


    And C-rank can cast D-rank skill 100 times. B-rank 1000 and-rank 10,000. S-ranks are still unknown since I live in a remote area where there is barely any C-rank here.


    A-rank would be god here, let alone an S-rank hunter.


    But, the dungeon here is only F, E, and D-rank. The strongest dungeon is a C-rank dungeon, which a party of C-rank hunters can clear daily.


    After casting my skill more than hundreds of times, I decided to stop. An hour has passed already. I didn''t want to give my time just casting skills in the grasnd. I looked at the damage I caused. Well, nothing eyes-catching damage was caused, since it was electricity it didn''t affect grasses much. Well, I don''t know if it will work on monsters, but I would have to give it a try. Don''t back down until you try it once.


    After smiling drily, I returned to my house.


    "Let''s go and be a hunter."


    I formed a fist. With determined eyes, I rush from my house. Of course, I wore neat clothes and locked my door properly. Maybe, the world has changed, but robbery, theft, and burry still exist.


    I don''t want my situation to be like my neighbor whose house was robbed clean. He and his wife cried for hours, and our neighborhood including meforted them and supported them.


    Well, people here are also kind even if the world is cruel. Not all are cold-blooded and cruel, there are many people who still support each other.


    I smiled slightly thinking that.


    I left the building and walked on the hustling and bustling street. Many people who work were walking with serious expressions. Not all people were happy. Since the work in this world had be a more physical and less software-rted thing.


    Only those who can farm, who can work in industry, who can do manualbor, etc are highly sought. Skills and professions like engineering aren''t taught in college now. Everyone learns experience of others, and engineers teach other people for free while working.


    Schools and colleges are rarely found. There is not much education. As long as you awaken, you be a hunter. The government pressured you even if you decided not to be one. The average age of awakening is 12 years old. Yeah, from kids, they awakened skill.


    I shook my head and forget all the unrequired details. I looked here and there,rge buildings were everywhere. Small buildings are rare, and only around 10 to 20 could be found all over the city. Buildings exceeding the 10th floor aremon since many people could live in one building. Space is tight so a solution like this is important.


    I found many hunters walking in the street along with normal people. They were wearing armors and were carrying their weapons. Well, there aren''t any sses, so they just dress whatever they like.


    After walking for 30 minutes, I came across a huge building. "Government Huter Association" was written on a big board and hung on the middle floor of the building.


    I took a long breath and calm down my nerves. With timid steps, I walked inside the building. The moment I entered the building, my eyes widened.

 Chapter 50 Getting Hunter License

    Many hunters were walking inside the hall. Some were buying skills, some were selling the monster core, and some walked to the second floor.


    A long queue was at the receptionist''s desk where a beautiful girl handled these hunters. I queued in line and waited for my turn.


    After some minutes, I faced the girl.


    "How can I help you, sir?"


    She asked me politely.


    "I want to get a hunter''s license."


    She nodded and took out a form. She took me inside the room which was behind the desk. A white room was there. I was taken to the chair and desk and asked toplete the form.


    The girl left me there after exining.


    I filled in my details such as my name, age, awakened duration, bank information, and skill with its rank. After filling in the information, I rang the bell on the table.


    Another girl walked toward me and took the form. She guided me to the center of the white room, where one could see the whole thing from the ss window above the white walls.


    Two scientists watched me. The girl left the room, and I was asked to cast my spell.


    Without wasting my breath, I cast an eclectic ball. When Iunched my spell, and it hit the wall, the number disyed on the wall opposite to ss window increased.


    1.


    That was disyed, and I cast my spell again.


    I acted like I struggled to cast further and made my breathing ragged so they would think it was limited. It is not like that I don''t want to show my infinite mana, but I don''t want the government to make me into their fighter and waste my whole life serving them.


    The government here is made up of the strongest hunter, so no ordinary citizen nor many hunters could offend them.


    After I stopped casting my spell, the number disying wall flickered and F-rank was disyed below the number 2.


    "Peak F, huh." The scientist had a neutral face as it looked like they had seen skill casting countless times.


    "But it is amazing, as he awakened D-rank skill. Those people who start from D-rank skill rare."


    I was given green light after they had written something in their notepad. I left the room and met the receptionist girl. She already had a card in her hand. I took the card and left the building. After exiting the building, I hurriedly looked at the card.


    My photo, name, age, and rank were on the card. The card was made up of bronze, and as my rank will increase so will the card ting.


    Gold, diamond, etc aren''t that valuable. With skills, one even has the skill to turn metal into valuable metals. And the government had many employees with this skill.


    I took out my cell phone, which was a touch phone. There were still signals,, and other things. Well, the feature hadn''t disappeared and the inte has be faster than before. There is no need for cell towers as technologies had advanced.


    I just took it to look at the time. I don''t have many friends, and I don''t talk with many people. So, I have no one to call or chat with. I rarely use the inte and don''t waste my time ying games. My life is as boring as one could imagine.


    Strong hunters are rare in this remote city. There are countless small cities like this. The United Government had stated this whole world where human lives as a single country. 100 cities, two major cities, and one great city called Empire.


    In small cities, B-rank hunters are the maximum one could find, and in major A-rank aremon. And in a great city, which is Empire, all major government people and top hunters live there.


    Rising hunter rank isn''t hard. One could just increase their rank by collecting skill and absorbing cores that drops from the monster''s body.


    Monster corpse disappears in the dungeon and leaves cores, items, or skill books like in games. There is a limit of cores one could absorb. But there isn''t a limit to the skill book. One could learn any rank skill, one only needs the required mana and they are good.


    As higher the rank of skill they learn, the more cores they could absorb.


    Cores don''te in variety though. From the information released on the web, when one absorbs core, they get points that can raise their stats.


    I opened my status window.

    [Strength: 10]


    [Vitality: 10]


    [Mana: ¡Þ]


    [Skill(s): (D- Electric Ball |5|)]


    Hmm?


    My eyes got attracted to the number in skill.


    "I didn''t realize, I raised my skill proficiency to level 5."


    Raising skill proficiency isn''t hard. Just by casting skill, the proficiency of skill will increase. But not all hunters had the luxury to increase their skill proficiency. Since they had a limited cast, they could barely raise their skill proficiency to level 2 in a whole week.


    But, I raised it to level 5 in a day whereas it takes a month for others.


    My lips curved slightly.


    "Now, I should go to the dungeon. The F-rank dungeon nearest to me is Ape Habitat."


    The Dungeon has 15 floors, with each floor filled with big brown apes 2 meters in size. On thest floor, a great ape 4 meters in size live. This dungeon is cleared regrly by parties of F-rank and E-rank hunters. There are rarely some casualties as this is the weakest dungeon. But news of hunters dying in this dungeon ismon too. Life of a hunter isn''t fixed and one could die at any time.


    Party consists of mages, warriors, tanks, and healers. They all are different people having specific skills. Mages have skills like a fireball, warriors have put their cores on strength, and their skill is strength rted, tanks put their cores in vitality and have skills rted to defense, and healers have healing skills. Healing skills may sound normal, but it is one of the rarest skills. And a party having a healer always has mostly no casualties.


    Every person has a specific task like tankers block the monster attack, warrior battle head one, mages support from behind and healers heal the person who is injured. If every one of them cooperates properly, there won''t be any casualties in the dungeon.


    Hunters except for mages have trouble with weapons. One won''t just barge inside the dungeon bare-handed and buying equipment isn''t cheap. A sword costs thousands of UG credits. UG credits are the currency of this world and stand for United Government Credits. So, newbies have to make it with an iron rod, pipe, kitchen knife, etc.


    Even after clearing a dungeon, one couldn''t expect skill books and items as they rarely drop. Only cores dropmonly.


    The government buys all the cores, items, and skills from hunters if they want to sell them. Usually, hunters sell the cores after it has reached the limit. And they sell most of the items which aren''t useful to them.


    The government buys all of these in bulk and they have whole storage of skills, items, and cores. Military hunters that work for the government get to choose skills and items if they contribute to the government.


    If you be a military hunter, you won''t get to keep skill books and items obtained from the dungeon. But you can keep all the cores of your share.


    If your cores reached the limit, you can exchange cores with skill books and items. That''s the system of government that had attracted many independent hunters.


    Hunter is a risky yet profitable job that has been the dream of many normal people.


    **********


    I reached my house andy on the bed. I looked at the time, it was 11 am. I decided to go dungeon on 12. I hadn''t eaten breakfast, so I cook my breakfast.


    I watched videos rted to dungeons on youtube. While eating, I got to know much information such as the weak points of apes, and where mostly apes respawn.


    After a dungeon is cleared, the monster respawned after some minutes. And once the dungeon is cleared, the chances of dungeon outbreaks decrease by a ton.


    After eating, I border a bus to the dungeon. Well, the bus directly won''t go to the dungeon but it at least leaves near the dungeon.


    I reached the dungeon.


    My heart was pounding heavily thinking of the rewards I will obtain after clearing the dungeon. Since hunters enter the dungeon with parties, they had to share the profit, but I am alone, so I don''t have to share my profit.


    I would have all the cores, and I would get to keep skill books and items if they drop. Just thinking this, made my heart excited.


    Hehe...


    My face bloomed with a smile. I was excited to go to the dungeon while I was also nervous to face the monster as it was going to be my first battle. With excitement and nervousness, I reached the dungeon gate.

 Chapter 51 Apes Habitat

    "The gate is huge..."


    That''s the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the gate that was twice the size of my apartment. Heavily loaded machine guns hang on the walls and a full card scanner, fingerprint scanner, and face recognizer were put. Two security guards who looked like hunters were stationed on the walls for security.


    The heavy security was almost terrifying. But it was also for the safety of people. The gate won''t open unless you put your card, finer print, and face scan. The reason to put this is so that, not any monster can just exit from the gate.


    This gate is strong enough to withstand rank C monster strike let alone these weak F or E rank monsters. The heavy machine gun can kill the monster easily and they don''t use real bullets instead they have monster core and are charged. These machine guns fire magical projectiles that are as deadly as one could guess.


    The hunter card scanner is there so normal people can''t enter there. And also, reporters, four or three years ago when hunter card didn''t exist, reporters sneak into the dungeon and shooter there. As a result, many reporters died. Even now, some reporters try to sneak, but they failed to do so.


    Face scanner is so hunter and monster can be distinguished. When a monster outbreak urs, the gate would have to make sure they differentiate between monsters and hunters, so the face scanner does the job ofmanding a machine gun to fire at monsters and not at hunters.


    The fingerprint scanner is there so if any monster bypasses the face scanner and dodges the magical projectile, they can''t escape since they couldn''t verify their fingerprint, as a result, the gate won''t open for them.


    With this technology, many small cities are safe even after monster outbreaks.


    After confirming my identity and nodding to the soldiers for no reason, I enter the dungeon. The smell of blood came to my nose the moment I enter.


    Injured hunters were drinking healing potions and some healers were healing other hunters. Other hunters were walking inside the dungeon while some were buying stuff from the shops.


    Varieties of shops were stationed beside the dungeon. F or E rank dungeon outbreaks aren''t considered that dangerous as the monster could be handled by local hunters.


    I stand in queue for my turn to go inside the dungeon. As the queue shorten, my heartbeat increased. With shaking hands, I walked inside the portal-like thing. Circr yellow energy in which the middle or hollow part was blurry.


    As I walked inside the blurry part, my surroundings blurred and a surge of headache hit me. I nearly vomited and before I realize I was standing on a rock.


    The headache subdued and I could scan my environment.


    As far as my vision could go, muddy ground with not a trace of life and rocks of various sizes came into my sight. The dungeon didn''t look much different from a cave, the only difference was its size was huge.


    As I jumped down the rocks and started walking, two apes came into my view. Their fur was brown and they packed muscle in their chest. With eyes red and beating their chest, they rushed toward me.


    They were 2 meters in size, meaning they were taller and bigger than me. My heart beat faster, and I felt a little terrified.


    Before they could even reach near him, I spammed electric ball skill.


    Balls of electricity hovered all around me and were fired at the apes. The moment the electric ball touched them, their body was zapped with electricity. Their scream echoed in the cave.


    Their body shook and their fur turned ck. One by one, the five apes fell and turned into cores.


    I felt relieved seeing the dead apes. My confidence increased, but I calmed down and became cautious as I know, that the more confident one is, the faster one will die.


    This was written on the hunter forum "Never be overconfident"


    I took the cores and put them inside my bag. I was carrying a pretty big bag. I took one core and examined it.


    It was ck. I felt warmth on the stone. I could suck the energy but I didn''t. Once the energy is sucked from the core, the core will disappear. The core was small. It was the size of a pebble, but its edge was all zigzag.


    I killed five apes and three cores were dropped. I didn''t know if my luck was just great or if it is the average drop rate since I didn''t check that.


    Without much care, I tossed it inside my bag and continued walking.


    I didn''t have to walk much. After some steps, I encountered 20 apes. From a report, it was stated that a single floor contained thousands of apes, and I could tell why they state that.


    It hasn''t been that long since I encounter 5 apes, and I have already encountered 20.


    They all charged at me, but I spammed electric ball. All of the apes were zapped and their body stiffen. They couldn''t move and in just some minute, their fresh corpse disappeared and five cores dropped which I put in my backpack.


    I marched down.


    I was all giddy. I had to force myself to calm down. I bit my lips as I could let out augh. The feeling of superiority is getting me. I earned cores so easily with just a click of my finger.


    I walked and walked and encountered many apes. I electrified them all and put all of the cores inside. In my tenth battle, a corpse turned into an item.


    My heart leaped when I found a glove lying on the ground. This was my first item.


    [Mage Glove: Decrease mana consumption by 1/3 on casting spell]<novelnext></novelnext>


    It was a good glove but it will probably be sold as I don''t require it. I formed a fist and hit the air. I was so happy that I could just throw thousands of electric balls all around the cave.


    But I didn''t do so, there are hunters here too. I didn''t encounter much but I caught a glimpse of a hunter party battling apes.


    As I killed apes and had more than 200 cores, I cleared the first floor.


    And like that, an unbelievable sight urred in the dungeon. A single F-rank hunter cleared 2nd, 3rd, 4th... and the 5th.... all the way to the end of the 14th floor easily. I wasn''t even that tired and only excitement was on my heart.


    "YAaaaaa!"


    I shouted in excitement. I couldn''t control my emotion and let out a triumphant shout which no one listened to since I was alone in front of the boss''s room.


    I obtained more than 1000 cores and 5 items. Not a single one was useful to me, most of them were weapons. Not even a staff dropped which was disappointing.


    A big door with a slightly immense aura was in front of me. I pushed the door opened and found a big ape sitting on a throne.


    The room wasn''t that big and only a throne was in the room.


    As the ape saw me walking, it roared angrily and jumped from the throne.


    It didn''t waste a breath, there was no serious moment, the ape directly rush at me. I also didn''t waste a breath.


    A single electric ball hit the ape and it was frozen on the spot. Its fur all straighten and a terrified expression covered its face.


    Five electric balls hit the great ape consecutively and the great ape''s fur burnt. The stench of burnt fur drifted on my nose but I was too excited to care for it.


    And in three minutes, the boss died before it could evene near me.


    And as it fell, a glistering book came to my view.


    "A-A...s-S-Skill book!"


    My voice broke in happiness. I couldn''t believe my eyes. This was my first skill book!


    [Wind de: Create a de of wind that can slice an enemy in half.]


    I could feel the corner of my eyes flicking with an exmation bar.


    I called out my status bar and the exmation bar disappeared.


    [Allen]


    [Strength: 10]


    [Vitality: 10]


    [Mana: ¡Þ]


    [Skill(s): (D-Electric Ball |11|). (F-Wind de)]


    [Equipment(s): (F-Mage Glove)]


    My eyes tear up when I saw another skill on my status. I felt emotional, a man who lives by doing manualbor got the chance to clear a dungeon.


    This was an achievement that not many people have, defeating a dungeon on the first try is something not a single person has aplished, or so I am sure.


    The mysterious feeling in my heart that I couldn''t describe in words appeared. It was great. Clearing the dungeon was fun.


    As I return to the sense, I saw a green light ahead of me. The pir of green light was a teleporter to the entrance of the dungeon or the real world.


    I steeped inside the teleporter and found myself on another side of the portal. The side which I just returned was on the opposite side of the portal to which I entered the dungeon.


    There wasn''t any line now, probably most of them are in the dungeon or justpleted their work. There are other dungeons too, so there won''t be many hunters in the same ce.


    I looked here and there and found no one paying attention to me. I instantly walked inside the dungeon again and started over.

 Chapter 52 Selling Cores

    My bag wasn''t even halfway full, and I had learned another skill. So, without any care, I dive inside the dungeon again.


    The same scenery greeted me and I didn''t waste my time. I start the stopwatch so I could see how much time it would take for me to clear this dungeon.


    Without further ado, I began speedrunning this dungeon like in games.


    First, I cast "electric ball" repeatedly and killed quite a few monsters. But it takes some time for them to die and it would take only one casting to kill one monster. Spamming the skill won''t kill them faster, but it at least froze them on the spot, that helps me a lot.


    After the electric ball became an annoyance, I cast hundreds of them around me and will automatically hit the enemy on sight. It''s not automatic practically, I could just use my mana to manipte them and attack the monster on spot.


    As the electricity zap them, I cast wind de. The sharp wind was aimed at the ape''s head. As the wind de passed by their neck, their head separated.


    Like this, I went all over the floor, killing monsters with just a flick of my finger. Even aftering to the boss''s room, I didn''t count my loot. I put all the things I obtained on my back and just marched forward.


    Opening the boss room, I was filled with confidence. The boss hadn''t been stood and I already cast electric ball. The boss was zapped with electricity and I immediately cast wind de.


    The single de didn''t cut its neck, so I cast around 10 wind des. The continuous cut made the injury deeper and within 30 seconds of entering the boss''s room, I killed the boss.


    It must be a record as other newbie hunters or even veteran hunters take 5-10 minutes to kill a boss. Only D or C-rank hunters can kill the F-rank boss monster in one hit.


    After killing the boss, I took out my mobile and stop the timer. I saw 25 minutes on it and was filled with joy. Clearing the dungeon in 25 minutes, was a huge feat.


    I took the glistering item that was a ring. The description attracted my attention, and I immediately equipped it on my finger.


    [Magical Ring: Amplifies magic skill. Increase skill power by 2 times]


    The ring strengthens my attack, what other thing do I need? I felt a little stronger wearing the ring. My skill power also has increased.


    I increased the proficiency in an electric ball to level 25. The electric ball I cast now is more smooth and it generates fewer sparks. It also covers more areas and electrifies the enemy more intensely. The monster now dies within 1 minute, but it is still slow. It will be used for area attacks when I encounter many monsters at once.


    I exited the dungeon and again entered. I also had to avoid some eyes on me, so no one would notice meing out of the dungeon and entering it repeatedly. There are cameras here, so that''s a pain.


    But, I had to make sure that they don''t capture my face.


    I ruffled through my bag after entering the dungeon. There was another skill book that I just stuffed into my bag.


    [Mana Defense: Wrap the body in golden light and defend against attacks]


    The skill was added to my status and I felt safe. Not like, I would face a monster head-on, but if some monster sneaks up on me, then I am dead. So, this defense would be quite useful.


    My third run in the dungeon didn''t turn out to be that fruitful. I obtained 500 cores, a weapon, and one earring. No skill though.


    After clearing the dungeon for the third time, I exited the dungeon. I didn''t attract much attention as going solo in an f-rank dungeon isn''t that rare. But, if someone went to D orC rank dungeon solo, then they would call that man or woman an idiot.


    I walked to the bus station and called for a taxi. The taxi reached me after 5 minutes, and I entered the cab. The driver was a middle-aged man, he was emotionless. He didn''t talk too much and me not being a social person, didn''tmunicate much too.


    After reaching my destination, I breathe a sigh of relief. The whole ride was awkward. Just imagine, an emotionless driver, an emotionless passenger, sitting quietly. The atmosphere couldn''t be tenser. We looked like a serial killer duo.


    I walked inside the hunter association. Now that I think about it, it''s been exactly 2 hours since I got my license and exited this building. And I have returned here with a bag full of cores...What will they think...


    Anyway, worries can go to hell. I walked to the receptionist girl and put my bag. The girl looked at me and smiled cheerily.


    I leaned closer to her and whisper to her about the cores. Her eyes widen a bit and she nodded. She took the core. I have already counted all the cores, and it''s around 2000. Well, F-rank cores aren''t that rare and it is one of themon cores that is sold around millions daily.


    I don''t know what cores are used for, I never cared about it.


    After some minutes, the girl, fortunately, returned with my bag. She handed me a receipt to me. The price of the single core was around 100 UG credit.


    And for 2000 cores, it was 200 thousand credits.


    What was money, it''s just a point. When I looked at the currency on my card, I couldn''t help but feel money is easy to earn.<novelnext></novelnext>


    This statement may cause many people to be angry at me, but who cares?


    I also haven''t sold my items yet.


    After selling the items, I earned additional 100 thousand credits.


    I dug my nails into my palm to calm myself down.


    Taking my card, which now had money info too, I could see three hundred thousand. Without dying, I rush to the skill shop.


    Normally, from the info I have, skills from rank F to B are sold in many markets. This small city sold around up to rank D skill. Rank A skills are rarely found in the market and go for the price of billions.


    The skill shop I visited wasn''t that huge. Three shelves filled with skills could be found and at a desk, a young guy stood. He greeted me with a smile.


    I searched on the shelves. Most of the skills I found were rted to weapons. Like, "Sharpen Sword" This skill sharpens the sword and makes it twice sharper. Cutting monster would be easy with this skill, and it was a rank E skill.


    There were some mage''s skills too, some were D-rank which price went for millions. I found two rank F skills and one rank E skill suitable for me.


    A single F-rank skill went for 50 thousand credits, pretty expensive and the E rank went for 100 thousand.


    And the money which I earned in two hours was reduced to 1/3 from buying three skills.


    [Small Heal: Heal your wound]


    [Fire Bolt: Fire a missile of fire]


    [Swift: Increase your movement speed]


    Of these three skills, only swift was an E-rank skill. It increases movement and this was one of the things I required. If I fasten my speed, I could clear the dungeon faster.


    Also, I forgot to mention, that I forgot to leave core for myself...It seems I sold all of my cores without absorbing a single one.


    Pretty stupid but, I marched outside the building and looked at the sky. It was still bright. I call for a taxi and drove to the next F-rank dungeon. I wanted to go to E-rank, but it''s pretty far and I can''t move too far now, as I have rented a house. I need to do some stuff before leaving the house and I have some stuff pretty important to me.


    While being driven to the dungeon, I looked at my status. It was pretty lively.


    [Allen]


    [Strength: 10]


    [Vitality: 10]


    [Mana: ¡Þ]


    [Skill(s): (D-Electric Ball |35||). (F-Wind de |5|), (F-Mana Defense), (F-Small Heal), (F-Firebolt), (E-Swift)]


    [Equipment(s): (F-Mage Glove), (E-Magical Ring)]


    A tiny smile covered my face. The taxi driver this time was another man. He bbered many things which entered my ear from one side and left from another. It was pretty annoying and lively. Well, Imunicated as less as possible.


    After reaching the dungeon gate, I paid the taxi fare and walked to the gate. It didn''t take much time for me to verify my identity and enter the gate. The security guard guarding that ce looked sleepy, but I ignore them.


    "New ce, new time"


    With a smile, I queued in a line while getting ready to start the timer.


    Let''s finish this dungeon in less than 20 minutes!

 Chapter 53 100 CPM

    In the grasnd, I could hear a slippery sound ringing in my ears. The F-rank Slime dungeon is one of the hardest F-rank dungeons. It is one of the fewer casualties dungeons yet the hardest one.


    The slime here is slow but has great regeneration. Its core is its weak point but its slimy thing is acidic. A single drop of slimy liquid can prate the hardest metal.


    But hunter''s armor dripped from dungeon could defend against those liquids but those are temporary too. They will melt after some time.


    But as the rank of these armors rose, the less effective the slimy liquid will be. And it can''t even scratch rank C armor.


    I cast mana defense and a golden light surrounded his body. Hovering an electric ball and firebolt around my back, I moved ahead. I activated swift and my legs felt light.


    My speed increased, and I moved faster.


    As I encounter slimes that crawled at me, I fired an electric ball at them. As the electricity zapped them, their body exploded and the slimy liquid scattered.


    I was far from them, so the liquid didn''t reach me but I could see them melting the ground and forming a small hole.


    The corrosive acid is dangerous, and seeing its effect gave a chill on my spine.


    I moved around and killed the slime I met. The electric ball hit them and exploded them while the firebolt pierced their body and destroyed the core in one go.


    Cause they could die easily as the core is destroyed, mages who have long-range ability could easily kill them after some trial and error.


    The first floor took mere 5-6 minutes to clear, and I proceed to the second floor. As the sound of electricity echoed, many slimes came to meet their fate. Their death was profitable for me as I found cores dropping often.


    This dungeon had 20 floors and I reached the 19th floor in 20 minutes with 200+ cores in my backpack and 3 items too.


    One item was not suitable for me and two were very good.


    [Speedy Boots: Increase speed by 2 times]


    [Ring of Mages: Increase casting speed by 1.5 times]


    The two items were equipped. An exmation mark appeared on the corner of my eyes but I ignored it. The exmation mark disappeared after some minutes.


    I walked toward the boss''s room. The door this time was made up of woods and the craving looked very detailed. Two skulls were used as door handles and it gave up very eerie vibes.


    As the door opened, a big slime greeted me. Its huge size wasn''t a problem, but the cores inside it are harder to shatter. Its skin is more acidic and not even rank c defense could endure it. Not to mention, the cing of the core is random, and piercing its body up to its opposite side isn''t easy.


    The slime jumped at me the moment it noticed me. I easily dodged it as my speed was increased by 4 times. I could take 10 steps in a second.


    I started casting my spell. I wanted to know how many spells I could cast in a minute. With the gloves of a mage, my casting speed indeed increased. If I know it right, it took exactly around 2 seconds for the skill to appear, but now it appears in 1 second. I always track times as it is one of my habit.


    With a deep breath, I looked at the slime charging at me. I was in the corner of the big empty room. I raised my hand and started casting.


    "Electric Ball...Firebolt"


    1, 10...50...not even a minute has passed and more than 90 electric balls and firebolts hovered around me. As a minute passed, the amount reached 100.


    As those skills fired at the slime consecutively, I was amazed at myself.


    100 cast per minute. 100 CPM...I broke the local record. Well, I searched how many times casting per minute is the world''s highest and it showed me around 582.


    They had fast skill casting and they had more things in their ce and I only had a glove that increase my casting skill.


    Well, let''s not care about it.


    While I was lost in thought, the slime faced those attacks head-on. When I saw the slime, it had many holes and one attack had surely found the core. The core had some damage but was not destroyed. The slime also was going to regeneratepletely.


    But, I cast firebolt and continuously spammed it. The holes of the slime got bigger and bigger. Around 200 firebolts and its hole was big as my head.


    The core was shining brightly and the final firebolt took care of it.


    The slime glowed and exploded, I immediately used my defense skill and cast an electric ball around me. 100 electric balls surrounded me and I cast more and more.


    The slimy liquidnded on the ball and somehow I survived.


    "Phew."


    This was the reason why it was one of the hardest F-rank dungeons. Not many could handle these liquids, so the people entering here are around 100 only and that entering boss room is only me. Yeah, not many F or E or even D-rank hunterse to the boss room.


    Well, not clearing a boss room is some problem, so there is a team which deals with the boss once a week. And they need B-rank defensive skills and equipment.


    Though I only needed like 150 skills...Anyway, let''s return.<novelnext></novelnext>


    I return to the entrance after talking about the shiny skill book. This time, the skill book was not something that I thought it was.


    [Fiery Arrow: Cover your arrows with fire, and deals fire damage to the enemy.]


    Well, it was a skill that was useful to archers and not to my taste. So, it''s going to be sold at the market.


    After clearing the dungeon around 10 times, I was satisfied with the gains.


    4000+ cores, 10 items, and 2 skill books. Though all of them were F-rank. Obtaining skill book and items are harder already, it would need the blessing of the heavens to get E-rank things in an F-rank dungeon.


    I returned to my house and sat on the bed in a meditation position. I ced around 100 cores on the bed ahead of me and started absorbing the cores.


    The cores disappeared as I sucked their energy. After sucking them dry, the cores dissipate in the thin air.


    "If my estimation is correct, it''s 1 point per 5 cores."


    The F-rank cores are very unfair, it takes 5 cores to receive one point. As the rank of cores goes up, the less core it takes to receive cores.


    B-rank cores give you 1 point per core and S-rank core gives you 10 points per core. And not to mention, every rank cores have a limit of absorption.


    100 F-rank cores and 20 points are the limits, E-rank has 90, D-rank has 60, C-rank has 50, B-rank has 45, A-rank has 30, and S-rank has 20 core limit. There hasn''t been an official reveal but it is said that there is even SS and SSS rank monsters, and their cores. And from the limit of cores, SS may have 10 limits and SSS may have only 1.


    Well,ing back to the present, I don''t care about these points as my mana is already the amount that I couldn''t imagine. It says infinite, but how can I believe it?


    Mana needs a source and we store mana inside our hearts. It is said that mana creates a whole room in the heart and expands as we level up the mana. But, is my mana heart thatrge, or is it even possible to store unlimited mana?


    Is my mana have a different source, or does the skill I cast don''t need mana?


    The deeper I think, the more mysterious it bes, so I just stopped thinking.


    Let''s not waste my brain cell, shall we?


    I opened my status window and it has changed quite a bit.


    [Allen]


    [Strength: 10]


    [Vitality: 10]


    [Mana: ¡Þ]


    (Unused Points: 20)


    [Skill(s): (D-Electric Ball |40||). (F-Wind de |8|), (F-Mana Defense|2|), (F-Small Heal), (F-Firebolt |7|), (E-Swift |11)]


    [Equipment(s): (F-Mage Glove), (E-Magical Ring), (F-Speedy Boots), (F-Ring of Mages)]


    I put all 10 points on strength and another 10 points on vitality.


    I wanted to add more, but I decided not to as I wanted to sell this core and increase another 10 points with rank E core.


    Deciding that, I slept on my bed. The next morning, I packed my stuff, the things I need and did not need were separated.


    I put all of them in a bag.


    "I need to buy a storage ring."


    I murmured while carrying the bag. I have around five big bags lying in my house as I needed them for my work.


    After using two bags, one bag for my items and another for cores, I left the house. One bag was carried in my bag while another was put on my head. The cores were on my head and normal stuff was on my bag.


    I moved to a hotel since I won''t be living in a ce for a long time. After buying a storage ring, I won''t need to carry bags.


    I booked the top room which cost 1 thousand credits for the night. It was expensive as heck as a normal family earns around 500 credits per month.


    A top professional like a doctor, engineer, and other important professionals earn 5000 credits per month. In a word, hunters earn 10 times more than these important professions. Hunter profession has many profits, and not many people risk their life for a small amount of money.


    Staying for some time and eating top-ss foods, I spent the dayzily in the luxurious room.

 Chapter 54 Soloing E-Rank Dungeon In 15 Minutes

    The next day, I slept until 10 am.


    After waking up, I ordered breakfast while washing my face, brushing my teeth, and having a short shower. Freshening up, I received my breakfast. Mini robots deliver food and the dishes they are served are special metal.


    This I foundst night. The food kept on these utensils doesn''t get cold even after leaving it for hours. It was one of the perks of high-ss hotels, the food you get is always warm.


    After eating, I left the hotel. I had booked the room for a week and decided to visit the E-rank dungeon pretty near me.


    My goal after this week is to visit the D-rank dungeon and also explore some dungeons far from this city.


    I reached the GHA, Government Hunter Association, and sold the cores. I received around 500 thousand credits as the cores I sold were 5001 in quantity.


    I wandered around the item area and bought defensive rings.


    [Ring of Protection: Increase defensive skill defense by 2 times]


    [Ring of Security: Cover the body with an invisible barrier.]


    They were both E-rank items and cost around 100 thousand dors. Both came at cheap prices since they were second-hand products. I didn''t buy many items now, since I need to buy skills.


    I also bought a storage ring costing me 50 thousand credits.


    I have still 450 thousand credits on me. And I still haven''t sold skills and items. I decided to sell items in the items shop since I was still there.


    I acquired around 600 thousand credits!


    I bolted to the skill shop. I had 1 million credits now. I was rich!


    I searched the skill section.


    I bought 2 E-rank skills closing me 600 thousand credits and 3 F-rank skills costing me 400 thousand credits.


    My eyes were set on two D-rank skills and one C-rank skill. But three of them cost around 10 million credits! So, expensive.


    I exited the skill shop.


    I was poor again with 50,000 credits left.


    Well, I was happy with the skill I obtained.


    [SafeGuard: Creates a shield in front of the caster]


    [Ball of Protection: Cover the caster in a round ball]


    [Hide: Hide aura and presence from the enemy]


    [Frost Orb: Create a ball of ice that freezes the enemy on contact]


    [Attract: Release a special scent that attracts low-intelligence being to the caster position]


    The things I had were quite useful. Unfortunately, there weren''t AOE skills, or I could have killed many enemies in one go.


    I booked a taxi and asked the driver to lead me to the E-rank dungeon.


    The gate was the same as I had seen in other dungeons. When I enter the gate, I found hunters minding their business. There weren''t too many hunters and around 50 of them I could see. There wasn''t a line and I could guess many hunters went inside the dungeon.


    I also walked inside the dungeon. No one was paying attention to me as I had activated the hide skill. I don''t think many even have noticed me.


    As I entered the dungeon, I activated all my defensive skills and deactivated hide. A ball of light was created in front of me as well as my body was glowing. A shield was in front of me. Well, all of these defensive skills had either golden or white color, but they were still transparent. The scenery in front of me was still clear.


    The dungeon I enter this time was Goblin''s Sanctum. As the name implies, this dungeon has goblins.


    I walked a bit inside the dungeon and immediately I was greeted with arrows. The arrows of course were weak against my defensive skill.


    I activated my skill attract and I could see many arrowsing at me repeatedly. I cast my firebolt and electric ball. I also cast a frost orb and a white orb of ice floated near my face.


    All of these skills hovered around me like a bodyguard protecting their client. When I found goblins, they didn''t run. Instead, they all charged at me mindlessly. The attract skill was an F-rank skill, but it was also effective against E-rank monsters.


    Some goblins ran though, it seems goblins also have different intelligence in their race. I used frost orb to see its effect.


    The frosted orb hit one goblin while I cast another hundred of them. All of my spells bombarded the goblins.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The single frost orb didn''t cause that damage to the goblin. It froze them a bit but except for shivering, they didn''t have other damage.


    But when tens of these frost orbs hit them, their body became ice sculptures. And my electric ball and firebolt hit the ices and shattered them.


    Cores were dropping in front of my eyes and I didn''t waste any seconds collecting them.


    The open area was lively with goblins. I could see many goblinsing at me which died by my skill the second I spotted them.


    This E-rank dungeon only had around 5 floors and I beat the first floor in some minutes.


    Like that, I clear the second, third, and fourth floors. I reached the boss''s room.


    I opened the door and found a big goblin with its mace sitting on its throne. It roared and stood. It was a D-rank monster. But it barely reached D-rank.


    The moment I stepped inside the room, the door behind me closed. As the sound of the door closing echoed, I repeatably cast the first orb, firebolt, and electric ball.


    I fired them at the big goblin. a big explosion went and dust with smoke covered the room. When I rxed a bit, the sound of ss breaking reverberated in my ears.


    My barrier was shattered. I immediately took twenty steps back. Without hesitation, I cast a wind de. The de made the smoke disappear, and a figure of the big goblin came into my view.


    Its skin was burnt and its state was pretty critical. Its body was filled with injuries but it was still alive. With awkward movement, it came at me. I could see electric sparks zapping it, but it still walked enduring the pain.


    For a moment, I was filled with respect for the goblin as its determination to kill me was enough for it to endure those hellish pain.


    I cast the wind de repeatedly. Around hundreds of them, one and half a minute hit the goblin''s head continuously.


    Small cut formed on its neck which increased as more des collided on the same spot. The hundreds of wind des made a big injury to its head and the final wind de separated the goblin''s head.


    Its body disappeared and an item dropped.


    It was a big spear, but I won''t use it.


    I exited the dungeon and returned to the entrance. I again went inside the dungeon and clear the floors faster than previously.


    This time, I made sure to kill the boss monster more carefully and didn''t rx until I saw something dropped from the goblin''s body.


    Since there weren''t that people, I activated hide when I exited and deactivated it when I entered the dungeon.


    I cleared the dungeon 12 times.


    At the thirteen-time, I speed to run the dungeon.


    I knew all of themonce, and I cleared the floor in some minutes. Thanks to my speed, I covered great distances in less time.


    And I cleared the dungeon in 15 minutes!


    It was a world record!


    Not even B-rank could clear the dungeon this fast. My heart thumped and I felt joy. Earning many cores and items along with some skill books, I returned home.


    I hadn''t sorted my skill book and didn''t check my items too. I also put aside the skill books. I decided to do that in the hotel room.


    After returning, the first thing I did was have a shower and a feast. After eating, I absorbed 90 cores and received another 25 points which I distributed equally to my stats.


    After that, I sorted out my skills.


    I had two skill useful to me and two which was useless. I also gained an AOE skill. And in items, all of the things I obtain were either mana rings or weapons. One armor got my attraction. It was a flexible thin armor that neither made one hot nor cold.


    I search it on the web and found it was the perfect armor for all sses. It was flexible, thin, and also maintain our body temperature.


    It was like AC in heat and a heater in cold. It also could block the attacks of the rank D monsters. I get yet another defense to my body.


    After that, I slept peacefully like a baby and I sold all unnecessary things to the hunter association and easily earned around 5 million credits.


    I bought the skill I desired and other skills weren''t my taste. I didn''t like most of the C-rank skills and the thing that caught my interest was bought.


    For an entire week, I grind on the dungeon near the city and increased my money up to 30 million credits.


    I bought 2 stealth skills and 1 long-range skill. All of them were C-rank and my money instantly depleted to around 10 million credits.

    My status waspletely different from other hunters. While most hunters chose skills carefully ording to their mana and stats, I chose them randomly without any concern. I didn''t choose weapon skills for now, as I think they won''t be used. Just stacking skills won''t be good as I have a limited amount of money to buy them.


    From the week of farming in the dungeon, I could guess per 10 dungeons clear, I get 2 skill books. Well, it also depends on luck but the average is that. Item has more drop rates, 5 items per 10 dungeons clear. Cores were dropped every time so I didn''t care much about them.


    Riding a train that is super fast, I reach the City of Dungeon. One of the smallest cities in this world despite having many dungeons.


    The market was more bustling than in the city I was previously in. There were more hunters thanmon people. And some of the sellers were even F to E rank hunters.


    Since there were many dungeons here, normal people didn''t want to risk their life living in a city where a dungeon outbreak could happen at any time. So, many hunters reced themon people and this city may have thergest poption of hunters in the entire human world.


    I came here not for F or E rank dungeon, but for D and C. I decided to explore F and E since I came here and also to test my new spells.


    As I reached the city, the first thing I did was book a taxi and rode to the nearest dungeon. The F-rank dungeon had more poption than the previous dungeon.


    Luckily, when I arrived there, most of the hunters were either going to leave or buying stuff from the sellers there.


    I entered the dungeon and met a ferocious beast that was nothing more than a mutated bear. The bear dungeon this was, I didn''t know its official name, but it didn''t take long for me to clear it. And with AOE spells like lighting strikes and ice storms, the ce was cleared in some minutes.


    When I was on the secondst floor, twenty bears rushed at me.


    I flicked my fingers, and the area near me brighten. Lighting appeared above the illuminated area and strike the bear below. Half of the bear died like that and the remaining were taking their steps back.


    I immediately used ice storm. A gust of freezing wind blew and became a whirlpool. As the whirlpool passed by the bear, they were frozen to death instantly.


    As the skill gives continuous damage to the enemies until they heat their bodies.


    As the bear died, I put their cores in the storage ring.


    I reached the boss room, and a big mighty bear was there.


    With continuous firebolt and frost orb, I dealt the mighty bear in seconds.


    I exited the dungeon and went for another.


    I spent the entire day visiting some small dungeons and cleared them. The dungeon I visited crossed 20 and I was getting hungry. When the sky turned red and the sun hid, I rode the taxi to the main area.


    I booked a room in a hotel and ate a feast. 10 stacks of tes were kept outside the room, and I jumped on the bed sleeping peacefully like a baby.


    The next day, I decided to visit two D-rank dungeons.


    With some information, I found their name and the monster inhabiting them.


    Icy Dungeon and Fiery Dungeon. One dungeon had a cold area that would freeze anyone. This dungeon had a pr bear as a monster which wasn''t only big and strong, but was fast and could jump higher than one could expect.


    Another had, long ming snakes as monsters. Their agile was the main problem as one attack would be missed by their perfect crawling. They could crawl on walls and even spat fire from their body. They could easily dodge spells and were one the annoying monster to deal with.


    All of my stealth skills were active and I also had activated all of my defensive spells. My defensive spell was hidden by the stealth skill and no one would be irritated by the glowness of my body since it won''t be visible.<novelnext></novelnext>


    I had to deactivate the ball of protection since it creates a ball around which not only deflects magical but physical attacks so, it could collide with walls and humans.


    The next day, I directly visited the D-rank dungeon. With my stealth, no one noticed me and without anyone''s attention, I barged inside the dungeon.


    The cold dungeon was the first dungeon I visited. I had Artic armor that would protect me from worse temperatures.


    I didn''t feel any cold inside the dungeon, instead, the dungeon''s temperature was moderate.


    I didn''t have to walk too much to encounter demonic pr bears, that was their name. They had ck fur and a huge body that would scare anyone.


    Its demonic eye could make any human shudder, and its sharp teeth, nails, and super strength would tremble anyone.


    The pr bear charged at me along with the mates behind it. Without wasting any breath, I cast ice storm and lightning strike. While lighting strike scratched their skin, the ice storm froze them. Well, the temperature was already cold, so they were frozen in a perfect ice sculpture.


    But, the ice shattered and the pr bear broke through. They could adapt to ice, so they could adapt to being frozen too. I could see frozenkes here and there and suddenly felt like I was a retard.


    Sucking a cold breath, I shot explosion and firebolt. The area around the pr bear turned red and above their head, a circr magic formation formed.


    It was a single formation, but the explosion it gave was pretty destructive. As the magic circle was mmed on the ground, an ear-deafening explosion urred. The area that was in red crumbled and a small crater took ce.


    Due to the pr bear being adapted to ice, they were pretty weak against fire, and they died. But their body was still intact, only burnt a little. Even the explosion didn''t burn them to ashes, and it seems I still need powerful skills to one-hit the stronger monster.


    But, the pr bear''s body disappeared and what was left was the core. Only 2 though, feeling quite disappointed, I advanced.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    An explosion urred everywhere as I advanced on the floor. Reaching the top floor of the dungeon which was at 15, I came across the boss room.


    Opening the door, I saw the big pr bear that was terrifying as one could guess. It didn''t take a second for me to start casting my spell.


    Lighting strike, firebolt, electric ball, explosion, wave after wave of attacks hit the pr bear. I didn''t waste another second using copsing start.


    Two ck balls were released which looked condensed mass of energy. They were pitch ck like ckholes and as the ck ball hit the pr bear, a small explosion echoed.


    The pr bear''s body was pushed to the ground and couldn''t even move its body. Barely, it stood staggeringly but was met with another wave of attacks.


    Pitifully, the pr bear died and I obtained a D-rank skill.


    Well, it will be sold as it wasn''t useful to me.


    I moved to another dungeon.


    The fiery dungeon. Lava pits, fire ground, etc weremon sights here. And I could see a pretty long snake crawling toward me.


    Well, it did take some ice storm and frost ball to finish their game. The 20th-floor dungeon didn''t take much to be cleared.


    Reaching the final floor where the boss resided, I took a breather. I pushed the door open and met with a long snake that could devour me in one bite.


    Our intense battle took ce with most of it me spamming every skill I have to the snake and killing it in some minutes.


    I cleared the dungeon two times in a row and again moved to the icy dungeon again as I was bored. Clearing both D-rank dungeons 10 times, I returned to the hotel and eat dinner.


    I slept peacefully and went toward the C-rank dungeon.


    This time, I decided to join a party.


    It didn''t take long for me to find a group of hunters who needed a mage. I walked toward them with a bright smile on my face and requested to join the party.

 Chapter 56 C-Rank Dungeon With A Party (1)

    "Looking for a mage. If youe we''re departing straight away!"


    A man was promoting his party while shouting his lungs off.


    "Can I join? I am a C-rank mage." I said.


    "Ah, can you show your spell? And, can we know your mana limit?"


    He asked politely.


    "Sure."


    I nodded and looked at the bare ground just a little ahead.


    I walked there and the party consisted of two guys and one girl followed me. The one promoting was a spear man as he had many spear weapon skills. The leader was a tough-looking guy, he was a tank.


    The girl was an archer as I saw her carrying a bow and arrows.


    Raising my hands, I cast Ice-Storm, since this is my only C-rank attack skill. The storm left my hand and froze the ground. We could now skate on it.


    The spear guy looked a little surprised and the leader raised his brows. The girl didn''t care much.


    "How many times can you cast it?" The leader asked.


    ''More than millions of times...'' Or so I wanted to say, but clearing my throat, I replied. "I have rings that provide me buff so that I could cast it 5 times in a row with these buff. I could cast two E-rank skills and one D-rank skill along with it.


    I could see their faces twitching, demonstrating my power was enough. I could guarantee myself joining it.


    "You are in."


    With that said, he marched forward and along with other party members who didn''t show that much interest in chatting, I followed.


    While walking toward the dungeon, we all introduced ourselves.0


    "I am Allen. A C-rank mage, I will be happy to work with you all. Please treat me well."


    "I am Ben, A B-rank tanker. A pleasure to work with you."


    "I am Rehan, A C-rank spearman. Happy to work with you."


    "I am Rina, A B-rank archer. Nice to work with you."


    After that, Ben, the leader exined his strategy.


    I the mage will be with Rina behind the team. Ben will be in the front and Rehan will fight to side him. Our job is to provide support.


    Of course, a n is necessary, if there is no n there won''t be that much cooperation and coordination. And that will be dangerous. Safety is safety, it is very important.


    "Let''s go."


    Ben entered the inside and we followed behind.


    The feeling of the dungeon interior was vastly different from the ones I usually frequented.


    The previous dungeon I visited looked like a room with virtual images of other ces, while this dungeon looked like an open ground with no projections.


    The area looked vast and as far as the eye went, I found varieties of nts and trees along with flowers. Sweet smell of flowers, the grassy smell of grass, and the fierce wind blowing on my face, were all real. Compared to the previous room which looked fake, this dungeon looked like the real world.


    While I looked around Ben started to speak.


    "We will advance at the center of this dungeon. There are many monsters in the center, and a little further from the center is the boss area."


    He exined while walking.


    After some minutes of walking, we met with several fierce monsters. With a huge size, the crawling of these monsters was annoying. Countless legs, a long, segmented body, and a small mouth. Its antenna in the head vibrated as it crawled towards us.


    The huge centipede''s speed was much fast than one could expect. In just a matter of minutes, it crossed 100m distance. Behind the monster centipede, tens of other centipede followed.


    "Get ready."


    I was already ready. Ben charged at the centipede with his huge shield. The archer, Rina put the arrow on her bow and fired at the centipede from behind.


    Rehan ran beside Ben with his long spear.


    The shield, spear, and bow were all ready. Only I the mage didn''t do anything.


    The arrow hit the centipede''s body, but with its tough skin, only some scratches were left. The centipede moved its huge head and raised its body. Its huge spiky legs looked sharp as heck. As it moved its legs at the shield, a loud metal colliding sound echoed.


    Ben was pushed two steps further, but he held against the centipede. Another arrow hit the centipede, which only made it angry.


    Rehan jumped and threw his spear at the centipede. The spear pierced the body armor and stabbed the centipede.


    A shrill voice echoed from the centipede. Rina fired her arrow at the centipede, however this time, her arrows were glowing brightly. This time, it easily prated the centipede''s armor and stabbed it.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Blood gushed out from the centipede and Ben jumped. With a huge force, he hit the shield at the centipede''s head. As the shield collided with the centipede, the centipede fell to the ground with its headshell shattered and ck-like meat was revealed.


    While the centipede squirmed on the ground, other centipedes joined the battle.


    This time, I reacted.


    I cast a rune of curse. A glowing ball that had mysterious engraving floating beside him appeared and zoomed toward the group of centipedes.


    As I cast repeatedly, not too much, the group of centipedes glowed darkly. Their movement was slow and they looked like they weregging.


    The leader was quite surprised but continued blocking. The force of this attack was weak and the sound of metal colliding decreased.


    Like that, our first teamwork surprisingly went well.


    Our battle continued, well I could have finished this dungeon in like 10 minutes, but with the team, it took more than an hour just to reach the center.


    Not to mention, our battle was too slow.


    Dealing with ten centipedes took 10 to 20 minutes, but somehow we survived without any injuries.


    Our battle naturally had many stops and breaks as we need to recover our mana and stamina. Well, I just pretended and sat in a meditative position.


    More than an hour has passed by. We have reached the boss''s ce. Technically, our speed was faster than any other team that have explored this dungeon. My teammates were kind of happy and I could see a smile on Ben''s face.


    The boss''s area was totally different. The grassy terrain had changed into a sandy one. Like in a desert, we were covered with sand. I could still see the line separating the forest and the desert.


    The sandy area can''t be called desert technically as it wasn''t as hot as it would be in a real desert. As we were advancing, the ground shook suddenly.


    The sand trembled and caved in. A deep pit formed.


    The moment the pit formed, all the people including me took a fighting stance.


    The sandy pit grew wider and wider and the sand ahead of our feet started to crumble. We jumped back and rushed behind.


    The pit stopped advancing.


    I gawked at the bottom of the pit and saw the sand boiling.


    Technically, it wasn''t boiling. I spotted something pretty big wiggling down.


    Phushu-!!


    The sand within the pit exploded upward. The falling sand emitted the roar of a waterfall. It wasn''t beautiful and looked pretty creepy.


    As the sand stopped falling down, a giant centipede ten times bigger than the previous one appeared. In front of it, we may look like a mouse.


    The centipede dug inside the sand and moved toward us from under the sand.


    "Be careful!"


    Ben warned.


    We jumped as we felt the sand beneath us shaking. We scattered in different directions and from the area we were previously on, the bug centipede emerged.


    It had its mouth opened like it was going to shallow us if we didn''t move.


    Rina without wasting a breath attacked the centipede with her arrows. The glowing couldn''t scratch the centipede as its defense was top-notch. It was a peak C-rank monster. Its strength may be close to B-rank.


    Its hard shell looked like it was made up of the strongest metal, but I know it isn''t that strongpared to the scales of a dragon that could even endure the atom bomb without taking a single scratch.


    The centipede roared and attacked Rina with its huge mouth and legs. The sharp legs looked extremely dangerous.


    But fortunately, Ben appeared ahead of her like a hero and blocked the centipede''s attack, but he was pushed twenty steps further.


    The centipede roared furiously. But, I immediately cast ice storm and a rune of curse.


    The ck light bound the centipede and its movement and strength decreased. But it was nothing to joy as even with its strength decreased, it was still ten times stronger than the previous centipedes.


    Not to mention, my ice storm barely froze it. But, there was still some damage. But not much.


    "Oh shit."


    Rehan widen his eyes and Rina moved toward us. Ben took a stance with a grim expression that hid his terror.


    The centipede''s mouth was glowing and spat out a redser. The redser was extremely dangerous. It zoomed toward Ben, but Ben threw his shield and jumped sideways.


    Theser pierced the shield and created a huge hole in it. As theser passed above the sand, the sand beneath it burnt ck like charcoal. Just from this, I am sure it is a heck dangerous!


    <To Be Continued>

 Chapter 57 C-Rank Dungeon With A Party (2)

    Our battle with the giant centipede continued.


    Not like, we could just run now, even if we could, that would be a waste for me. It does look dangerous, more dangerous than any monster I have encountered. But, I haven''t shown my other D-rank skill, E-rank skill, and even F-rank skill to the teammates, so I should select which skill I should use to defeat it.


    While I was pondering, the centipede rushed at us. Ben took out another armor from his storage ring and blocked it, but his feet bragged back, and he gritted his teeth. His strength was prettycking, I was certain of it.


    Since the centipede lived in the desert, it could be said that it has been living in a hot ce, so ice and electricity should be perfect for it.


    I didn''t cast a rune of curse as it couldn''t be stacked. If it could stack and decrease the stats of enemies per cast, I wouldn''t have to be even scared of A-rank monsters.


    I stayed behind with Rina and cast Electric Ball. Tens of electric balls were fired at the centipede which was busy fighting with Rehan and Ben.


    The electricity zapped the centipede, but it couldn''t hold it for more than 5 seconds. Small damage was caused to it.


    Rehan cast his skill and his spear glowed red. Another spear made up of red light covered the metal spear and as he threw the spear at the centipede, it zoomed toward the centipede.


    The energy spear shattered the centipede''s defense and the metal spear stabbed its skin. A painful shrill was left from the centipede''s mouth.


    Ben also cast his skill and his body glowed. His muscle bugled despite that his strength was lowered than the centipede.


    Ben cast another skill, his shield twinkled and this time, he blocked the centipede''s attack sessfully. Ben still gritted his teeth, his veins popped from his hands and forehead.


    Rehan used another spell. He took out three spears from his storage ring and threw them toward the centipede while casting his skill.


    The three spears merged into one another and created a big spear.


    It stabbed the centipede and exploded.


    A small crack appeared on the centipede''s body.


    Rina also cast her skill. She fired five arrows and cast two skills.


    Firstly, her arrows doubled, not tripled. And then, these arrows glow bright red. They all stabbed the centipede.


    The centipede experience pain and tried to run. But, Ben jumped using his skill. His jump was higher. He cast some skill, and his hand was covered by blue light which took the shape of a human fist


    Ben roared like a lion and punched the centipede.


    His punch threw the centipede off-guard and the shell around its face was shattered revealing ck meat.


    Its face hit the sand and before we could attack, the centipede escaped inside the sand.


    Rehan was breathing heavily, and so were Rina and Ben.


    The centipede appeared after some time.


    This time, the centipede didn''t attack us forwardly. Shooting balls of light, shootingsers, and trying to attack sneakily, the centipede used other forms of attack.


    Ben, Rehan, Rina, and I used different skills. While they were exhausted and their situation was bing serious, I was perfectly fine, a little bored.


    But, since my life was on the line, I had to be attentive.


    Ben copsed first, Rehan second, and Rina third. The centipede had many serious injuries all over its body, but when it saw all of the people falling to the ground, its body wiggled.


    They lost their consciousness and seeing them drop dead, I smiled.


    They didn''t die technically, so I ignored them and faced the centipede.


    The centipede hid under the sand and tried to sneak attack me. But, lighting strike, strengthen, explosion, first orb, copsing star, firebolt, electric ball, all of them were thrown around me.


    The centipede was in horror when it saw countless attacksing at it. It escaped again under the sand and tried to attack my teammates. I used a ball of protection to create a ball of defense, it would be weak against the monster, but it was better than nothing.


    As the centipede appeared from the ground, I cast ice storm and electric shock.


    Centipede''s body froze not in ice but due to electricity. While it was paralyzed for some seconds, |I cast many skills on top of its head.


    Like rain poured continuously on the ground, many balls of fire, ice, and electricity fell continuously on the centipede''s head.


    It didn''t take much for the centipede to copse as it was both exhausted and injured.


    It was at its end, but still not dead. So, I cast hundreds of copsing stars and threw them at the centipede''s head.


    The centipede''s head exploded and our battle ceased.


    Its body disappeared and three things dropped.


    A C-rank core, an item, and a skill book!


    Skill book, that was what I wanted.


    I ignored other things and took the skill book.


    [Swords of Light: Create a sword that is made up of light.]<novelnext></novelnext>


    The description was normal, but it was freaking C-rank skill!


    I learned it without any hesitation.


    Later, I rolled my teammates out of the dungeon. Since they were in a ball, so I could roll them.


    **************


    After our dungeon exploration, I dumped my teammates into the hospital. I didn''t forget to give them their shares of the core along with the C-rank core and the item.


    I am an honest man, so I don''t want to betray others.


    Leaving them, I again went to the C-rank dungeon.


    In therge ce, I barely stumbled with other hunters. Monsters were pretty easy to stumble. Killing them was a breeze since I already knew their attack pattern.


    With spamming skills, I cleared the area in some minutes.


    I took the cores and threw them on my storage ring.


    I arrived at the center. I used swords of light and lighting strike along with ice storm. Light emitted from my hands umted in the air and took the shape of a sword. The sword was shot at the monster. With a single hit, the monster was stabbed from inside to out.


    I reach the boss area and face the giant centipede.


    The centipede attacked me mercilessly, but I dodged them.


    Using most of my C-rank skills and some D-rank skill, I defeated the centipede. Well, I got some injury this time.


    Facing C-rank was a little dangerous for me, but not too serious. Thanks to my small healing and regeneration, the wound healed in seconds. I could see the healing process with naked eyes.


    After that, I walked to the hotel and entered my room.


    I absorb D and C-rank core and increased my stats. With both D and C-rank cores, I broke my stats into 100.

    Looking at my stats, I was impressed by myself.


    "Need to buy B-rank skill..."


    I searched for some cheap B-rank skills on the inte. And I found one skill, that cost 20 million... Well, anyway, it was pretty good though.


    [Mana st: Explode your mana]


    A simple description like always, but that is what makes me excited. This skill is heavy mana using skill. You can say, it takes the whole mana of rank B to use it. It''s like using every ounce of your mana to explode it like self-destruction, but the advantage is you won''t get affected by the explosion.


    Since it can only be usedst, not many people even look at it.


    Well, the damage it causes is sure huge. It can even kill a B-rank monster with a single hit, or so they say which is a little doubting.


    I bought the skill and share the address for it to deliver. Since it is home delivery, I won''t have to pay in advance.


    My skill came after 5 hours, and I learned it happily. I was so excited to check its effect at the dungeon tomorrow.


    My heart was beating rapidly, and a smile as bright as the moon was formed on my face. I was having a hard time sleeping, but slowly my consciousness drifted into the darkness.


    ********* (3rd POV) ********


    [Ding! -]


    Allen missed the dinging sound of a hologram. The text appearing in it had many symbols that one couldn''t understand.


    Not seeing Allen wake, the hologram disappeared quietly into the void.


    [Failed! Failed!]


    [Try Again]


    The hologram disappeared while this message reflected on it.

 Chapter 58 Leaving The City

    The next day, I went to the C-rank dungeon again.


    I reached the boss area in less than an hour and used the B-rank skill.


    As the giant centipede moved toward me, my n glowed.


    Mana continuously drained from my body creating a massive ball of mana and was fired at the centipede. As the mana touched the centipede, an ear-deafening explosion urred. The whole area within 30 meters was affected, and a giant crater formed.


    The centipede didn''t die, but ity in the center of the crater. Its body had cracks on it, I again cast mana st, and the crater was doubled. The centipede dissipated. In the center of the pit, a skill book glowed brightly.


    I jumped down and took the skill book, and climbed up.


    [Stealth: Hide aura, energy, and presence, move undetected.]


    Seeing the skill, I didn''t wait a second before learning it.


    ******


    I farmed the C-rank dungeon more than 10 times and moved to the D-rank dungeon.


    For a whole day, I farmed two to three dungeons with the lowest time ofpletion being 10 minutes and the highest at 45 minutes.


    Three D-rank skills and Two C-rank skills have been equipped along with two B-rank skills that I bought online.


    [Precision: Increase uracy]


    [Tough Skin: Increase defense by 10%]


    [Natural Sheild: Create a red light shield, that protects from elemental damage]


    [Evasion: Dodge attacks naturally]


    [Prate: Increase pration, attacks have a 25% chance to destroy the defense of the strong enemy]


    [Titan''s Strength: Increase strength, +50 strength]


    [Quick Feet: Increase speed by 30%]


    Satisfied with the skill I gained, I decided to move to another city. My goal is the center city. One of the major cities, it has some B-rank dungeons and is perfect for my next goal.


    My goal is to farm the B-rank dungeon. Not to mention, I need to beat A-rank dungeon too. I returned to the hotel and spent one week farming the C-rank dungeon obtaining several cores, items, and skill books.


    Since I sold most of the cores and the C-rank cores were at the limit, and I already had several skills, I equipped many C-rank items.


    I also sold cores, items, and skills that looked unnecessary.


    [Spacious Ring: Ring that can store many things inside.]


    [Flexible Armor of Protection: An armor that could protect against both physical and elemental attack and won''t hinder movement.]


    [Advance Magician Gloves: Increase skill damage and casting speed.]


    [Boots for Runners: Increase speed]


    [Ring for caster: Increase casting speed]


    I didn''t equip other skills as they weren''t as necessary.


    I moved to another city, the center city, one of the major cities. By train,muting there didn''t take much time.


    The city was hustling and bustling with both normal people and hunters. The market was thriving. Many people were going to work, and tall buildings lookedmon.


    I booked rooms in one of the hotels. It was a hunter hotel, a ce for hunters. There were varieties of shops and restaurants inside the hotel.


    I ignored those ces for now and moved to the room. I rested for the day.


    ********


    The next day, I was ready to go for the B-rank dungeon. I moved from the bus and reached the high-tech wall.


    There were quite a number of hunters in the dungeon. Around 20 hunters in 4 groups were diving inside the dungeon.


    My skills of concealment and stealth were activated all along, so not many people noticed me even if they nced in my direction.


    I entered the dungeon and was greeted by the creepy dark forest. Trees that shot to the sky could be found everywhere. The area was dark and creepy. In the eerie dungeon, I advanced ahead.


    After a little while, five shadows passed in front of me. I had swift, quick speed and even boots, my speed was so much faster.


    A sound of metal colliding echoed as I was pushed a little ahead. Those shadows had attacked me sneakily.


    Thankfully due to my armor, ring, and skills, I didn''t even have a scratch. The shadows were fast, but as I moved, my speed surpassed them.


    Moving swiftly, I cast an electric ball. The electric ball brightens my surrounding, and I cast firebolt and other skills.


    My surrounding became bright with the skills I cast. I caught the shadow and fired my skills at them. As one of the shadows fell, I caught a glimpse of its appearance.


    A body little shorter than an average human with red eyes. Red fur covered their entire body and their nails were long and looked like metal.


    Their skin was tough as even with my skill, they didn''t have much damage. I continue spamming my skill at them. Electric Ball, wind de, firebolt, frost orb...I cast every skill I had.


    The demonic monkey died as hundreds of skills hit it. My casting speed was doubled, no tripled, so I could cast 300 skills per minute. I only need a multi-cast ring or skill, and my casting will be doubled.


    Four demonic monkeys hit me from behind. I turned and punched them. My strength couldn''t be underestimated. A single punch from me fling them two meters further and hit the trees. But their fur absorbed most of the impact and only some damage was caused.


    But before they could stand, I cast mana st, since it was an AOE skill and cause quite an explosion, I don''t use it on a single low-level monster. I only use it mostly on crowd or boss.


    The mana st caused quite damage to the surroundings and the monster. But still, they didn''t die. Their fur was burnt and their meat was brunt. But, they still jumped and tried to escape.


    I continue casting other skills and killed them.


    I took the cores dropped from their body and moved ahead.


    I advanced further and faced many demonic monkeys, they were quite annoying. Since they mostly did sneak attacks, I had to be on guard every moment.


    Even though my defense could hold against their attack, I had to be cautious as there would be idents.<novelnext></novelnext>


    After killing them, I took their cores and some items dropped.


    I reached the boss area after an hour of exploring.


    The boss area was the same as the forest. The boss was a huge demonic monkey that was three times bigger than me.


    The boss monster red at me and stood. It swiped its big hand at me, but I cast skill that cause its hand to flinch back.


    The monster roared and raised both hands. It mmed those hands to the ground creating shock waves, but I used speed to leap back avoiding the damage.


    I cast varieties of skills at the monster. Some damage was caused to it. The monster formed a fist and punched me. I also formed a fist and hit the monster''s fist.


    Two fists collided. Due to my strength skill, my strength was equal to the monster but may be a little weaker. As the fist collided, I was pushed a little further.


    I spammed mana st and a huge crater formed.


    I cast every skill along with mana st and created a 20m pit. The boss monster was burnt and after five minutes, it died.


    I obtained a B-rank skill this time.


    [Mana Fist: Create a fist of mana tens times bigger and stronger than a normal fist]


    It was a B-rank skill, so it may be strong. After clearing the dungeon five times, I returned to the hotel.


    I looked at the status screen.

    I smiled looking at the status, it has be bigger.


    Suddenly, my phone rang.


    The number was unknown.


    I hesitated a little but picked it up.


    "Hello?"


    A sweet voice sounded. The voice sounded like a young woman.


    I took a deep breath and replied.


    "Hello."


    "Is this, Allen?"


    "Yes."


    "Oh, good. I have something to discuss with you."


    "Sure."


    And so, we started chatting.

 Chapter 59 An Invitation

    "My name is Amelia Luss and I''m here on the behalf of Vice Admiral Shark of Center City."


    Her words started off normally but the end was explosive. I had nevere across any high titles such as Vice Admiral before.


    "What can I do for you?" I asked smiling slightly.


    "I won''t waste too much of your time Sir Hunter, so I will give the message I was instructed to for you to read at your leisure," She said politely.


    "Oh." I didn''t react much.


    "Mr. Allen, I have sent you a confidential file, since it is confidential we are counting on your discretion."


    "Ok?"


    I was confused for a bit.


    "Thank you."


    She hung off the phone.


    On my mobile, I got a file attached to me in the message box. The size of it was around 10MB, and when I opened it, it was filled with densely packed text.


    Just looking at it gave me a headache.


    I was also a little confused by the sudden call of the vice admiral. Shaking my head, I focused on the text.


    Skimming through the text and looking at several images, I found some info.


    The image was of a huge dungeon. The entrance of the dungeon was bigger than a whole 10s story building.


    Some were even bigger than that.


    And they were all close to the walls. There are huge walls surrounding the human settlements. While the inner cities have small yet strong walls that are refined daily. Outer walls arerge and are maintained 24 hours without any rest.


    Many workers are swapped and many casualties are faced. Since it is for human welfare, no one canin.


    But, if a big dungeon appeared near the walls, then it would be a disaster. Just from the size, one could guess it is a high-ranked dungeon. The monster inside may be stronger than one could imagine.


    If it was only 1, then something may have been done. But, more than 10 big dungeons were surrounding all over the human walls.


    If those dungeon outbreaks, the human settlement would destroy and the remaining humans may die.


    As I scroll down the text, I found other text such as undead monsters roaming around the walls. Sighting of the ck necromancer, and more.


    These all were confidential and I could guess the reason. Not to make the public panic. If it is released, people would panic much and would feel scared all the time.


    Even if humans may go extinct, the public should live their life happily until the end. It''s not like, they could change anything even if they are informed.


    And, leave the ce. It would be considered a joke.


    There is countless monster outside, broken free from the dungeon. Strong monsters such as dragons, necromancers, demon lords, zombies, mutated beasts...


    Even if one could escape, there is no ce to go.


    Sighing, I put away my mobile andyzily on the bed.


    For some days, I roamed around the dungeon fighting. My goal wasn''t core, skill, or items, it was purely to increase my proficiency.


    After a week of rampaging in the dungeon, using mostly my low-proficiency skills,I maxed my every skill proficiency.


    Yeah, everyst of them. I used them crazily, not even resting for a moment.


    I also equipped myself with two B-rank skills.


    [Mana Circr Rope: Create two mana circles in your palm. As two mana circles are pressed and slowly dragged away, it creates a mana rope. The mana rope is sharp and long. As long as there is mana, mana rope could be generated infinitely.]


    This skill had a long description. I nced at another skill.


    [Witch''s Curse: Binds the curse to the targeted enemy. Decrease 30HP for second for 2 minutes, decrease 10% stamina, 10% strength, and 25% defense for 1 minute.]


    This curse was op as it had many debuffs in it.


    I didn''t have time to increase their proficiency as I had to move to a major city since I was invited there by the vice admiral a few days ago.

 Chapter 60 Suicide, System And Power

    [A/N: This novel/chapter doesn''t promote any kind of suicide and other violence. All the words written here are from pure fiction and imagination. Please don''t ever think of taking your own life. Please look at the people beside you, live on. Use the courage to make your life better. Perish all your thoughts on suicide. That''s a request from me.]


    ************


    "My whole life is destroyed,"


    A boy who looked only 18 looked below. The ground looked so far as he was standing on the edge of a cliff.


    The ground below was covered with stones and rocks. If he falls, there is a 99.99% he will die. There won''t be even an opportunity to scream, let alone feel any pain.


    That''s why he came here.


    He is a human, so he also has fear of death. Jumping from this cliff requires huge courage. Expect of using that courage to live on, he decided to just die. That will be better, it will relieve all pain in his chest. He won''t have to be angry, he won''t have to be sad, and he won''t have to care about others.


    "Haah!"


    He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and with an emotionless face. He jumped down.


    His body pierced and forced through the wind.


    In the face of death, memories of his life shed inside his head.


    A normal boy, he was nothing but an ordinary boy living with his parents and a little sister. His lower and middle school life went smoothly.


    He wasn''t bullied, he get good grades, and he helped his parents with their work. He was a brilliant boy loved by his family.


    At the age of 17, his misfortune started.


    Heroes, the superheroes who fight to protect the people killed his parents. A superhero who fought with a monster identally killed his parents or so it was said.


    But, the reality was different. His power went out of control because he consumed alcohol and drugs beforeing there.


    He also didn''t have any guilt in killing innocent people.


    That was only the beginning. When he went to the hero''s house to reason about his parent''s death, he was kicked out. He had to listen to many insults and he was beaten up so badly.


    The next day, his sister was kidnapped by superviins. No heroes saved her, and, the next day, her naked corpse was found floating in the river.


    Let alone superheroes, even the police and the government didn''t listen to him. He didn''t get any justice.


    A year went by, he barely live his life. It wouldn''t far off to call him dead. His soul was dead inside and only his body was moving like a puppet.


    There was a girl who always helped him, cooking him food. She was the angel for him, who saved him from his despair.


    When he was going to feel the love for the first time, the whole neighborhood he lived in was destroyed. Reason... The government tested a new boom and it identally fell there.


    Butter it was found that there was an official who had records of corruption of the government, and he was going to publish them to the world. That''s why the government not only killed him but destroyed the whole neighborhood.


    Citizens were just citizens, they didn''t do anything nor could they do much. Without evidence, if they dare to step up, they would disappear the next day.


    Heros, government, viins, all of them were the same. Selfish!


    Inparison to them, monsters were better. At least they would just kill them.


    This world revolved around status, power, and money. If you are weak, fuck off, if you are poor, just die from hunger, if you are good and kind, you won''t see the next sunrise.


    The boy... couldn''t live in this fucked off world.


    After witnessing the death of the only loved one he had, he couldn''t bear it. He wanted to destroy this world, torture those heroes, boil those viins, and fry the government.


    But he didn''t have any superpowers.


    He wasn''t rich.


    His life shed in some seconds.


    Boom!


    His head directly hit the rock. He didn''t feel any pain. His vision darken, and in just an instant, he was in a void deprived of everything.


    "I died. Hahaha,"


    The boyughed drily. He couldn''t feel his body. He thought it was all over after death. But now, he didn''t have anybody. His soul was alive, his memories were fresh.


    He didn''t know if this was any better than life. He didn''t want to live in this void. It would be one thing if didn''t have any memories. But living with these memories was worse than being punished in hell.


    "Why am I unlucky?"


    "Why? Just why do I have to suffer?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Why are the evil people alive?"


    Why are good people dying fast?"


    "Just... What sin did Imit to get these punishments?"


    "Is being kind a sin?"


    "Then... I swear on my whole existence, from now on, I won''t be kind. Justice is only words. Law is only an illusion. If I get another chance, I vow to destroy my every enemy. If the whole world bes my enemy... I will destroy the world!"


    Vows, promises,ints. The boy shouted these words in the void. He asked the gods for an answer.


    But it was silence. There was no answer.


    s, what he could have expected.


    If there are any gods, they are also selfish.


    If there is heaven, the heaven itself is evil.


    There is no buddha in this world.


    Preach? Religion? They are the disguise people wear to make excuses for the crime theymit.


    Want forgiveness? Go get a religion!


    These aren''t empty words. Get a religion, gods will forgive you. Even if you have rap*, murder, rob, theft.


    Just ask forgiveness from gods, andmit crimes freely.


    Heros only save the people for fame and money. In the end, they are also a thief.


    His soul floated in the void lifeless. The boy didn''t have the energy toin. He had said everything he want.


    He just wanted to rest now. He wanted to meet with his parents and live with his lovers. He wanted love and wanted to give love.


    He just wanted to be a good son, a good brother, a good lover. But this all became nothing but a mere dream.


    [Justice, Laws, and Rules all are useless in front of strong]


    [There is no god. There is no heaven. Every being is selfish.]


    [You want to be a supreme. You want to punish those greedy fools. You want to destroy heaven.]


    [Then I shall give you the power. A power that will help you to destroy this world. A power to kill the gods and destroy the heaven.]


    [Power to be the supreme being of this world.]


    [Nowe and show me your courage. Be a brave soul and don''t rush. Be smart. Use the people around you. Always remember, there is no such thing as good and right. If you are strong, the words you speak are good. If you are strong,ws are just your ything.]


    [Copy others'' power and destroy them with their own power.]


    [The Power Copy System has been imprinted in your soul.]


    A cold lifeless voice echoed inside the void. The soul of the boy who was lifeless suddenly came into life.


    System! Power!


    These words were enough for him. Even if the system betrays him, he won''t mind as long as he gets his revenge.


    Even if the words of the system are a lie, he will work hard as long as he gets even a minor power.


    Suddenly, a bright light shines in front of his eyes. A white floating words appeared before his vision.


    [Ding! You are now the owner of Power Copy System]


    [Ding! Your body is being created.]


    [Ding! Five superpowers are found. You can choose which superpower to bring with you.]


    |(Telekinesis), (Wind Control), (Fire Master), (Heal), (Super Strength) |


    Looking at the screen, the boy smiled. In a cold voice, he announced.


    "I want them all!"

 Chapter 61 Rebirth

    "I want them all!"


    [Ding! Superpowers have been granted.]


    [Ding! Host''s new body has been created.]


    [Putting the host''s soul into the host''s body.]


    "Huh?"


    Many notifications shed in front of his eyes. The world in front of his eyes spun like it was a Beyde.


    Darkness covered his eyes again and gentle warmth filled his soul. Not long after, rays of light pierced through the gaps between his eyes and the eyelid.


    "Hah!"


    The boy jolty stood up, forcibly closing his eyes as he couldn''t bear the light. It felt like the light was a sword trying to pierce his eyes.


    After adjusting his eyes to the light, he patted all over his body trying to remove dirt from his clothes.


    "Wow."


    The boy eximed. His body felt new. It was a weird feeling. He had lived many years inside this body, but now it felt like this body wasn''t his. He was full of energy. He tried to lift his hand, but after a second the hand responded.


    It was like ag. The body reaction was slow. Hismand was obeyed after a dy. But soon after moving his legs, hands, and body for some minute, his body adjusted to his soul.


    Suddenly, a light shed in front of his eyes.


    [Roel]


    [Level: 1 (Copied skill will have 1/3 of the original power)]


    [Skills: (Telekinesis - F), (Wind Control - F). (Fire Master - E), (Heal - F), (Super Strength - D)]


    [Copied Skills: None]


    [Blessing: Copied skill''s power may surpass original. (x1, x10, x50, x100) (Due to low level, it is extremely rare)]


    [Copy Condition: As long as you make skin contact with the user for some time. (Depends on the skill level, minimum 2 min)]


    "Hmm... It''s a little hard to copy skills. Touching may be of no problem, but for a long duration is one thing."


    Roel murmured to himself before going to a pond full of crystal clear water. He saw his reflection in the water.


    He raised his eyebrows as he saw a handsome face in the water unfamiliar to him. But he epted it since the system said it created a new body for him. So, his old body was reconstructed to make a new body.


    A cold face filled with white skin. A handsome face that could attract the attention of many girls.


    Roel ignored his appearance since it wasn''t that important now. But he could use it as an advantage to copy powers from girls.


    "I want to check how power is copied."


    Roel walked towards his house. His face was emotionless. He had no enthusiasm even when he got powers.


    A small old apartment. It was made up of wood and looked like it can break at any time. Roel entered his room.


    The room was clean, the dishes were washed, and clothes were hung in the wardrobe. A study desk was near the bed, and the kitchen was further from his bed.


    It was a one-room apartment, but even with a small space, it didn''t look tight. Instead, it looked like it was spacious.


    Roel didn''t cook anything, he directlyy on the bed. He was tired, tired from his life and today''s event.


    For ordinary people, dying, rebirthing, and gaining power, would be a huge event. They would jump all over the ce.


    But, Roel, not even an inch of happiness was inside his heart. He looked dead inside.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I should test my power..."


    He took out his mobile below the pillow. He didn''t carry the mobile that much as it didn''t have much use for him. No one would call him or message him, games were boring, videos were time-wasting, and news... He would rather kill the reporters and make news out of it.


    Roel searched for open space to test out his powers. He also researched about superhero academy, when a new admission will take ce.


    And searched for heroes and viins. He also searched some dungeons that mostly no one pays attention to for hidden training.


    Skills were ranked from F to SSS. The ranking of skills determined a superhero rank. Superhero rank also depends on their skill controlling. As long as they have good control over their skill, their rank will rise.


    ? For example, a superhero whose power is D-rank but has C-rank skill control. His rank will be C-rank.


    A superhero who has two or three skills, their rank isplicated.


    Villians'' ranks are determined by the amount of damage they cause, the threat they are to the country, and which rank superheroes can catch them.


    Ordinary criminals are left to the police.


    "Now, I just have to slowly gain power."


    Roel raised his hands towards the ceiling and formed a fist. The fist fell down on his chest. His heart ached.


    Why didn''t I have powers before? Maybe I could have saved everyone.


    Roel wanted toin. But he held back his words.


    No point inining.


    Drowsiness kicked in. His eyes felt heavy. And the world of darkness again covered him.


    Next Day-


    Roel finished his daily task. Waking, Bathing, Cooking, Eating, Cleaning, etc.


    Afterward, he left his apartment. He worked several part-time jobs. He had saved Ten thousand dors.


    But he didn''t care about money. He rarely buys clothes, he buys month-worth of groceries and dumps them into the fridge.


    He didn''t have any hobbies. He had dropped out of high school.


    So, his time was consumed by the work. The money he earned was saved, as he had no use of it,


    Roel halted his steps at the bus station. He boarded the bus.


    After five hours-


    He reached the countryside. A ce where not many people live.


    The forest has many open grounds.


    Roel didn''t bat an eye at the vige. He directly walked toward the forest.


    Walking for 30 minutes straight, he reached the destination. A small open ground.


    As he reached his destination, he sat on the ground. He was exhausted from walking for 30 minutes straight. Sweat dripped from his forehead. His body got drenched and his clothes got wet and sticky.


    Roel didn''t care about the difort. He sat for 5 minutes and stood.


    "Time to use my powers."


    He mumbled as he raised his hand.


    "Telekinesis"

 Chapter 62 Skill Testing

    "Telekinesis"


    Small sounds leap out his mouth. No shouting, no energetic voice, the voice waspletely lifeless.


    Even though the voice didn''t contain any emotion, the chant worked.


    A spiritual thread escaped Roel''s palm and zoomed toward the broken branch that was lying on the ground.


    The thread didn''t take a second to wrap itself to the branch.


    Roel felt the connection between his palm and the branch like it was near his grasp.


    As Roel raised his hand, the branch moved. It slowly leaps upward defying the gravity.


    As the tree moved upward, a sense of exhaustion filled his body.


    "My mana is small. I need to use it smartly."


    Roel canceled the spell and the branch dropped down. Afterward, he took a deep breath.


    He raised his hands and cast "Wind Control".


    Suddenly, the wind stopped blowing as it was held by something. Roel felt the connection between him and the wind, as the wind was a car and he was the driver.


    Like rotating a steering wheel, Roel also rotated his hands. As he rotated, the wind also rotated. As he moved his hands, the wind also moved.


    But his control was extremely weak. He could only make a small tornado from the wind, and some fast-moving winds for an attack. Since it is an F-rank skill, it isn''t that strong. And this only took 10% of his mana.


    Roel''s head was drenched in sweat. The sweat dripped from the forehead to the tip of his nose and fell on the ground.


    "Fire Master"


    ...


    Roel cast the skill but nothing happened. The silence in the forest intensified as he could hear his heartbeat.


    Seeing this, Roel concluded. "If there is no fire, this skill is useless."


    He denoted these powers as skills, since he had many and continues to get much power. So, it wasn''t suitable for it to call a superpower, at mostbeling it as a skill was suitable.


    Now only two skills left to test.


    Heal, as its name suggested, it will heal the wound. But it was an F-rank power, so its power may be weak.


    Roel decided to check how strong this low-level heal is. So, he used telekinesis and carried the broken branch that was a little further away from him.


    As the branch came to his hand, he held it and slice his hand. The branch wasn''t that sharp, and not that sharp to separate the hand. It only put some scratch on the arm. The wound wasn''t critical but blood continuously dripped from it.


    "Heal"


    He cast it without any hesitation.


    Greenlight floated around his arms, slowly moving to the wound. Just as the light touched the wound, it got absorbed by the blood.


    The blood instantly dried and started cloting the wound. The blood stopped leaking, and a small scar was left on the arm.


    But the remaining light pierced the skin and started repairing it. The light got absorbed by the cell and the cell started producing itself like it was cloning. In just ten seconds, the scar disappeared. And the hand looked as new as if nothing has happened.


    The whole healing process took 30 seconds at most. Roel frowned. The wound wasn''t that deep and serious, so this time is normal.


    But, the pain hasn''t been subdued. The pain of getting cut is still lingering on the arm. It was like a thermos containing warm water. The thermos itself is cold, but the water inside is warm. Like that, his wounds have been repaired, but the pain inside is still there.


    "So, it can heal the wound but can''t make the pain disappear."


    It was usible since it was low-level healing power. It can stop bleeding, and disappear the wound but can''t stop the nerves from preceding the pain.


    The pain receptors continued receiving pain. The pain disappeared after 2 minutes.


    Now time for his strongest power. "Super Strength"


    Roel''s body glowed dimly for some seconds. Unexinable energy invaded his body, stretching his muscles.


    His muscles didn''t expand, but now he can use the full power of his muscles.


    Roel''s eyes fell on the tree, he walked there causally and tried to pull the tree. Of course, it wasn''t easy as lifting a toy from the ground.


    He used all of his strength. He could move the tree, but can''t take it out from the ground. The root is deeply imprinted on the soil making it hard to remove it.


    His constant moving and full strength caused the tree to slightly moved upward, but he can''t still pull it above the surface.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He was nearly exhausted. 70% of mana was all used up. If he continues using his skill, then a maximum of 90% can be used. But, if he used more than that, he would pass out. If his mana is totally depleted, he will die.


    Roel wiped his sweat and cancel the tree.


    "The tree is pine, and it weighs 1000kg or more. So, the expectation of my strength is 200 or 300 kg."


    Roel murmured and stopped casting skill.


    Generally, powers that are used by superheroes are cast using the astral elements. Astral is an element that has existed in this world for a long time.


    Power can be cast after using Astron particles, and mental power from the brain. As the mental power of a person is strong, the capacity to perform the power also increases.


    But Roel power doesn''t depend on Astron. As he came out of the void, he had gained a concept of power.


    Astron powers are weak, whereas mana skills are powerful.


    Mana is the improved version of the astral element. It is hundreds of times stronger than astral.


    Roel could absorb mana naturally, his body is capable of that.


    So, even if he is an F-rank skill user, he can use the skill hundreds time more than a normal F-rank user.


    And his power is 10 times stronger than theirs.


    Anyway, Roel has already packed up. Meaning, that he wiped his sweat and walked down to the bus stop.


    He boarded the bus and walked to his apartment. Then he entered the room, ate the leftover food, and slept.


    ****


    [Dungeon that is not protected by any organization]


    -F-rank Dungeon (Unnamed) - Located at Mellow Forest


    -F-rank Dungeon (Unnamed) - Located at Deep Valley Cliff


    -E-rank Dungeon (Unnamed) - Located at Peak of Mount Chvery


    ...


    Many dungeons and their location are mentioned in the website ''DungeonPce''. These dungeons located here are abandoned because they are very hard to reach.


    Some are located deep in the forest, some hanging on the cliff, some at the peak of some mountain. And they are all low-level. Since high-ranked superheroes don''t like to visit these small dungeons, and low-ranked superheroes don''t have the time toe to these rural areas, these dungeons are practically left.


    It''s not like a dungeon will just overflow and the monster wille out, these event hasn''t urred. Dungeons are just resource sources for the government and money sources for hunters. Resource found in dungeons is used for many things.


    And mostly high-ranking dungeons located in easily reaching areas are mostly where superheroes go.


    Superheroes aren''t what they are mentioned in tv,ics, novels, or anywhere.


    Superhero go to dungeons for money, and save people for fame (mostly to hide their crimes) and some good superheroes are weak.


    So in one word, rural dungeons outweigh the cons than the pros.


    But for a new superhero like Roel who doesn''t want to register themselves as a superhero, this dungeon is very useful.


    It''s not like the government is keeping track of every dungeon, and they also can''t with now technology.


    Anyway, with a knife in his pocket, and some survival items in the bag, Roel ventured to the dungeon.


    After riding the bus for 10 hours straight, he reached his destination. Mellow forest, located in the corner of the country and is considered one of the huge forests where people are lost easily.


    Roel looked at his phone and opened his GPS Map. He marked the dungeon location as his destination and started walking there carrying a bag.


    He had covered his face with a mask and hood so his identity would be in clear for now in case someone finds him.


    Walking for around 20 minutes, he reached his destination. A gate that looks like a gate of some mansion was there, covered with green vegetation. The other side of the gate could be seen clearly giving it a normal vibe.


    Just looking at the gate would give the feeling that it is a normal abandoned gate in the middle of the forest.


    Just looking at the gate would give the feeling that it is a normal abandoned gate in the middle of the forest.


    Roel stares at the gate for a moment. It didn''t look anything special, and its original color was unknown as it was covered with green all over the ce.


    He walked toward the dungeon and touched it. The green vegetation made it sticky and smooth to touch.

 Chapter 63 Entering A Dungeon

    Roel didn''t care about that, he walked inside the gate. Just as he stepped inside the gate, his vision distorted. The surrounding blurred and after a light headache, he found himself in the middle of a cave.


    As far as Roel could see, he only saw rocks. he walked ahead, but how much he walked, it didn''t seem he reached anywhere. Like he was walking in a circle, it made him think that he was in a formation or something. But something like formation in an F-rank dungeon was unheard of.


    At most, only S-rank dungeons have formation and they are very rare.


    Roel frowned but continued walking. After walking for more than an hour, he finally reached inside a room.


    A room where there was no other rooms insides. All the area was blocked with stones. A throne-like-looking chair was in the middle of the room. Four small gates were at the corners of the room giving it a trap-like vibe.


    Roel walked inside the room without any hesitation. After walking five-step, the cave shook. The light lit on the gate that was in the corners of the room.


    The throne brightly. A figure that was made up of a blue transparent substance with a skull-shaped head appeared. The figure sat on the throne with a smile that gave off a nobility vibe.


    One creature appeared at the gate like it was materialized on the spot. The creature looked here and there confused before its gazended on the throne and Roel.


    The creature was blue. But it had a small height. Its body was materialized and wasn''t transparent. The head was bigger than the body, its eyes were bigger. The nose was almost non-existence. The mouth was so small that it could unnoticed.


    The creature looked very weird. But, Roel recognized it with a nce.


    It was a very basic creature. Its name, height, weight, looks, power, rank, etc everything except its background was mentioned in ''Dungeon Monster Wiki"


    It has the nickname ''Rookie''s Experience" A very weak creature.


    It is a kind of spirit but made up of mana, what people basically call energy. But the energy is heavily consolidated giving it its body.


    Its name is "Skull Spirit" and the one on the throne is of the same race. But its height is taller and its size is bigger than this small creature. It is the boss of this dungeon.


    Four Skull Spirit walked toward Roel with great hostility. They re at Roel like he was their natural enemy.


    Roel also took a fighting stance, ready to swipe this creature to death.


    So, a small battle for the world and a great battle for Roel took ce inside the unnamed dungeon.


    Bang!


    "Telekinesis."


    Bang!


    As Roel cast telekinesis, an invisible force hit the creature making them fly and hit the wall. The creature hit the wall and broke down into pieces, dispersing into the surrounding.


    As one creature dispersed, another appeared at the gate again walking toward Roel.


    The process was like a water cycle. Roel couldn''t help but let out a small breath.


    He ignored those sports and looked at the gate.


    Should I destroy that? Or, should I destroy that big thing?


    He looked at the boss, watching the battle as if it was some kind of show. Roel changed his target and raised his hand at the boss.


    An invisible force trapped the boss, but the force shattered as it moved. Roel felt the aftershock of his skill forcefully canceling, and got pushed ten steps back.


    But he didn''t stop. He used super strength and used wind control. Super strength to fight the boss, and wind control to make a force that pushed him from behind increasing his speed.


    In some seconds, Roel decreased the distance between him and the boss. With the skill super strength, Roel formed a fist. The fist is directed at the boss with the intention to shatter him into pieces.


    Of course, the boss wasn''t fully materialized like the minions. So, physical attacks were futile. Roel''s fist pierced the boss''s body but couldn''t give it damage.


    Roel nced at the boss''s body. He searched for the brightest source of light inside its body. The source that gives the brightest light would be its core in which the boss can maintain its form and is alive in a sense.


    But no matter how much he searched, he couldn''t find the core.


    The boss also didn''t stay idle and let Roel search for its core. The boss scattered its body and appeared behind Roel.


    The body was transparent and also could be clipped in. The body was going to consume Roel, drowning him in the invisible energy.


    Just as Roel''s body filled with the energy that not only pressed him down but also made him suffocate.


    Roel''s eyes were opened and could look outside. The minion spirit also known as the skull spirits were staring at him with joy on their face.


    On the other hand, Roel who was going to die didn''t panic. He was calm as a turtle. He looked up and down searching for the core.


    After searching for 10 seconds, he found a source where the light shone more brightly than the rest. It was the ce where the core was resting.


    The size of the core was so small and the light it produce only affect an extremely small ce, it was hard to find.


    Now that Roel found it, he immediately used wind control. The fast-moving skill blew the energy from Roel''s face giving him a breath. He again used wind control and blew the energy from his hand.


    Since his hands were free, he didn''t waste a second grasping the core.


    The boss''s face changed. His expression turned grim and he roared. He tried to hit Roel with its energy, but Roel just used wind control to control the air around him.


    Energy also flows in the air, so it wasn''t that hard to blow the energy away. The boss''s face sloemned.


    Roel crushed the core.


    Boom!


    The boss''s body exploded. The energy scattered and the gate located at the corner of the room stopped glowing.


    The remaining energy in the room was mixed up. A transparent blue door formed near the door. The shut door opened and the scenery of the forest shed.


    Roel sighed. He was disappointed. He couldn''t help but walk outside the dungeon arriving at the forest empty-handed.


    Yeah. He didn''t get anything from the dungeon.


    That''s why these dungeons are abandoned since they can''t provide resources.


    But there was something he gained from this battle. He gained experience.

    The bag wasn''t used that much, and all the equipment inside was unused.


    He thought it would take some hours to defeat the dungeon, but he didn''t expect it to end in 2 hours.

    ******


    Wearing a ck jacket and ck jeans pant, he exited the building.


    A gust of wind passed by his cheeks, the zing sun shone above the sky, the hustling and bustling of people in the street, and sounds of chiles passing by. Roel passed by the everyday lives of the people.


    He arrived at the bridge. The bridge was pretty high and the water below flowed rapidly without thinking of stopping.


    A girl sat on the edge of the bridge swaying her feet in the air. She was pouting while murmuring something to herself.


    Her clothes were pretty ordinary. She was wearing a blue skirt with a white t-shit. Her hair was left open that floated with the air.


    Roel''s eyes fell on her, but he ignored her since he didn''t have time for her. He pretty much passed by her. Just as he moved a little further away, an angry voice sounded from behind.


    "Hey, you!"


    Roel didn''t stop.


    "Hey, you ck jacket!"


    Her voice became louder. As the word ck jacket flung on Roel, he stopped and looked behind.


    "Me?"


    He pointed at himself with a confused face telling what the hell does this girl want in his heart.


    "Yes! You!"


    Her voice was filled with anger.


    ''Did I kill her family or something? Why is she mad at me?''


    Roel thought but walked toward her.


    "Yes? What do you want?"


    Roel''s voice was cold and emotionless.


    "What do I want? Didn''t you see a pretty girl like myself sitting on the edge of the bridge going tomit suicide?"


    "Pretty girl? Going tomit suicide? Where is she? I didn''t see her."


    Roel looked here and there searching for that girl.


    "You!" Her cheeks puffed like a puff fish.


    "Yes." Roel ignored her puffing cheeks and asked with a tilted head.


    "I am that girl. A pretty girl troubled by the world going tomit suicide. Don''t you have a heart? Can''t you justfort me?"


    "... Why do I have tofort you?"


    "What if Imit suicide? Won''t it be a waste for a beautiful girl like me to die?"


    "I don''t think so. There are many beautiful girls like you. So, it won''t be a waste. Go and jump from the bridge. You have my luck."

    "Do you have a heart of a demon?! And why are you giving me your luck?!"


    "Sorry, but my heart is as human as yours. And the luck is important!"


    Roel put his hands on her shoulder and with a serious expression like going to solve a math problem, he opened his mouth.


    "What if you jump down on the river and didn''t die? What if someone saves you from drowning? That will suck like hell. I am saying from my personal experience, you don''t want to get saved mid-ways, do you? So, take my luck and jump down. You will die for sure."


    As Roel finished his speech, the girl looked at him in a daze with a face full of question marks looking at him like he was some crazy dude.


    "Ok?" She didn''t know whether she shouldugh or cry.


    "Yeah. Now go and jump down!"


    "Ok- Wait! I won''t jump down! Why do I have to jump from here?!"


    "You don''t want to jump? Then let me bring you a rope. You can hang under the bridge. No one will find you. You can die in peace then."


    "O- Wait! I don''t need rope- Anyway, what I mean is, I don''t want to die. I am so young, why do I die?!"


    "Yeah, why do you need to die? Let''s find the answer together. Then you can die."


    "Huh?"


    ...


    A dead silence. The girl sighed. Her eyes were teary as she couldn''t understand herself.


    Why did I stop this psycho?!"


    "Ok. Let''s forget about dying. I am going ok."


    "Ok. Have a good day. Hope you get your answer and die."


    With that, Roel turned back and walked to his destination leaving the confused girl.


    He reached his destination. The Superhero Academy.


    A building that looked extravagant as possible. The building was tall and long. Many people his age walked inside the building. They had hope and joy on their face.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Roel joined the crowd and entered the building.


    He reached his destination, the admission hall. He had to fill his form with his name, address, superpower, etc.


    He chose his superpower ''Telekinesis'' since it was easier to cast and helpful to his daily life as well as his school life.


    After that, a young man in his twenties came toward the group of students including Roel and lead them to an open ground that was covered with a barrier.


    "We will test your super power and rank them here."


    The young man said with a smile on his face and started the examination process.


    The young man took the students or going to be students to a big examination hall. The hall was big enough to fit five-hundreds people.


    Roel along with other students sat at the desk. Roel just chose a random desk and sat as if he owned it.


    A white-haired guy sat on his right and a red-haired girl sat on his left.


    Five to six adults distributed papers to the students and left the venue. Roel stared at his paper before writing the answer without thinking much.


    All the questions were decision-based... A question with four answers and he had to choose one as an answer.


    Ten minutester-


    Many students passed the paper to the examinee. As they gave the paper, they were instructed to go to the ground for a power test.


    Roel also handed his test paper to the examinee. He left the exam hall.


    On the ground which roof was covered with ss panels. The ground was full of sand. And hundreds of students stood on the ground chatting with each other.


    Ten minutes after, when every student finished turning over the paper to the teacher, they arrived at the ground.


    Roel stood alone looking at other students.


    "Hello"


    Suddenly, a voice rang behind Roel. He didn''t react. But, a hand touched his shoulder. Just as he felt the touch, Roel immediately looked behind.


    A white-haired guy with a creepy smile on his face was standing. His body was slim. There was not much muscle in his body. And his appearance was about average.


    "What?"


    Roel asked blinking his eyes.


    "Nothing. I just saw you standing here lonely like a bonded puppy, so I thought I could talk with you."


    "...sorry, wrong person."


    Roel turned around nning to leave the area.


    "Wait! I mean, I am also alone. So, let''s be friends."


    "Sorry, but I don''t make friends with abandoned puppies."


    "Guh!" Roel''s words pierced the white-haired guy''s chest like a bullet.


    "T-That''s not what I mean. Anyway, My name is Chandler." He stretched his hand over.


    "Ok? My name is Roel."


    Chandler''s hand hung in the air. He embarrassingly retracted his hand.


    "If you don''t have anything else, may I go?" Roel asked.


    "Wait! Why are you in hurry? We just met."


    Chandlerined while grabbing Roel''s shirt.


    "I am not in a hurry."


    "Then why are you leaving me."


    "Why? I am not your servant, am I? I walk with my own legs and waste my own stamina. So, I think it''s none of your business to ask me that."


    Roel''s straight answer hit Chandler like a copsed building. He didn''t know if he shouldugh or cry.


    "Can''t you just give mepany?"


    "Sorry, but I don''t have anypany to give you. I am a poor man."


    ''That''s not what I mean! I mean, can''t you stay with me."


    "Why? Are you gay or something?"


    "Wh-?"


    "Hahaha! That''s hrious. You two sure make aedy duo."


    Chandler''s hand hung in the air. He embarrassingly retracted his hand.


    "If you don''t have anything else, may I go?" Roel asked.


    "Wait! Why are you in hurry? We just met."


    Chandlerined while grabbing Roel''s shirt.


    "I am not in a hurry."


    "Then why are you leaving me."


    "Why? I am not your servant, am I? I walk with my own legs and waste my own stamina. So, I think it''s none of your business to ask me that."

 Chapter 66 1 - Rio Hen

    Weakest Hunter.


    Rio has always been stuck with this title wherever he goes.


    Rio was weak, how much he worked hard, he never improved.


    If he even fights with an F-rank monster, he barely wins.


    Of course, he is an F-rank hunter with more strength than a normal human.


    He also has two skills [sh] and [Sword st]


    While both skills required a sword, Rio was lucky enough to get these skills.


    But since he is an F-rank hunter, even these skills are weak, and he couldn''t use sword st unless it is an emergency, since as the name of the skill, it explodes the sword, his only weapon.


    And today...


    "AaaaaaaH!!!"


    Rio screamed as he charged at the F-rank monster, Mutated Tortoise.


    With its hard shell, Rio''s sword could only scratch it and deliver no damage. However, as the mutate tortoise rotated, its tail hit its stomach of Rio making him fly away.


    Hended on the ground deadbeat. Blood dripped from his lips but he stood staggeringly.


    "Again!"


    He again attacked the tortoise, but again tortoise was blocked hiding inside its shell. How much it looked, the tortoise was stronger than Rio despite being only an F-rank monster.


    This was because mutated tortoise strength is low while its defense is high. An F-rank hunter could easily beat it as long as they cut its neck.


    Destroying the shell is hard and it is also not profitable since hunters sell the shell and earn money.


    Rio jumped back, gasping for breath. He frowned.


    "Am I that weak that I could not even beat this little shit quickly?!!"


    Rio cursed himself and charged at the tortoise again, however, expect of attacking he jumped on the shell of the tortoise and held it tightly.


    Feeling burdened on its shell, the tortoise rotated trying to shake off Rio.


    However Rio didn''t shake off, he even clutch the shell tightly.


    After managing himself, Rio raised his left hand and hit the shell hardly.


    But his strength wasn''t enough not to even left a crack on it. Rio''s left hand turned red, but he didn''t give up and hit the shell repeatedly.


    Even though the shell didn''t break up, the tortoise got shook by the force from the vibration of the shell. It let out its head from the shell and it was at that moment that the tortoise knew, it fucked up.


    Rio grasped the tortoise''s head and strangled it. It immediately tried to put its head inside the shell. But despite getting force from the shell on his hand, Rio still strangled the tortoise enduring the pain.


    The tortoise rotated even harder and tried its best to get rid of the clutch of Rio''s hand, but how much it tried, all its work went in vain.


    And finally, the tortoise started feeling dizzy from theck of oxygen, and slowly by slowly it stopped its movement.


    And after a moment, the tortoise head hanged and no vitality was felt from its body.


    Rio sighed and took a deep breath. He looked at his hand which seemed to have slightly broken.


    "I need to get it fixed again."


    He sighed and looked at his area. Three tortoises were dead and their corpse was left on the ground.


    Pieces of iron were scattered on the ground. Some marks of the sword were left on the neck of one tortoise, while one tortoise''s head was ck, probably died from the burn.


    "Phew! Now that''s 300 Sunstar dors."


    Rio smiled dimly. He walked toward the tortoise, their size was somewhat smaller than that of humans.


    And their strength was weak, even the tail didn''t give much damage to Rio.


    After analyzing the tortoise, he took out his Hunter Card and swiped the card over the tortoise''s body.


    The convenient Hunter Card had the function to teleport the corpse of the monster to the hunter association and directly give money to the hunters.


    The money is registered in the card and one can use it however they want.


    It was convenient and easy, it only took some dors for its service. Butpared to taking the heavy corpse oneself, it was easier to just swipe the card over monster''s body.


    But, it can''t teleport alive creatures.


    Rio looked at his card intensely.

    [Hunter Rank: F]


    [Money: 450]


    [Free Service from Hunter Association


    -Transportation


    -Free Medical Service


    -Free Building entry]


    Rio nodded his head after looking at the amount he got.


    He left the F-rank dungeon [Tortoise Town]. As he step out of the dungeon, hustling and bustling of people greeted him.


    Since not only there were F-rank dungeons here, E and D rank dungeons were also suited just side by side.


    Gate that looked like a door was the entrance that leads to the dungeon. It may look weird, but people have got used to it.


    Varieties of shops such as potion shops, equipment shops, armor shops, skill shops, etc were doing their business outside the dungeon entrance.


    It looked like a market here. Scenery of hunters wearing advancedbat suits, flying guns hovering above them at the size of a tennis ball, and some poor hunters carrying an enhanced sword on their backs wasmon. It looked both advanced and primitive.


    However, Rio had nothing to do with these. He looked at the horde of people. But he shook his head and look at his watch.


    The watch was white. But the brownish tint has covered the silverish watch. Just from a nce, one could say, the watch was worn out.<novelnext></novelnext>


    But Rio didn''t change his watch. It was also given by the Hunter Association. It was one-time contract, and it was stated Hunter Association will provide basic necessity items to the Rookie Hunters.


    Those hunters who have just joined the association.


    And Rio had joined the association 5 years ago, so the watch is also five years old.


    [Time: 3: 05 pm]


    [2180 - 12 - 30]


    [Apps]


    [Call]


    [Message]


    ...


    With time and date, the other three options were given. It was an advanced watch.


    Just as Rio clicked on the [Message], a vertical blue holographic window appeared above the watch''s ss.


    Only 2 message was with their time as on the window, Allen clicked on thetest one.


    [Subject: Bro, I need money]


    [Sorry bro. I thought I had enough money to pay off my college fee, but it seems that Ick 200 Sunstar dors. So, if you could, please send me that much money :D]


    It was from his little sister, Shina Hen.


    "200 Sunstar dors? Fortunately, I have earned the money today."


    Rio breathe a sigh of relief and transferred 200 Sunstar dors to his sister without batting an eye.


    How much hecks money, he never cares when ites to his family.


    His little sister wasn''t an awakened person, so she could lead a happy life. Rio was just happy that she could live a happy life without risking her life like him.


    After doing that, he walked turned off his watch and walked toward the bus stop.


    "Haah! Life of a weak is hard."


    He mumbled to himself.


    Suddenly, his watch flickered. A holographic window suddenly appeared from it automatically.


    A horizontal blue line appeared and a ding sound followed. Only Rio heard that sound, he jolted when his watch vibrated.


    He looked at his watch and his eyes widen.


    "What the hell is this?!"


    [Do you want to be strong?]


    [(Yes) / (No)]


    [Do you want to be strong?]


    [(Yes) / (No)]


    Rio was dumbstruck. He blinked multiple times. And finally, he thought he should answer the question.


    "Of course, I want to be strong!"


    He murmured.


    [Ding! My Game System has activated!]


    ''Game System?''


    Rio titled his head. Suddenly, his vision became blurry. And felt like something was going to suck his body.


    "What?!"


    ? He didn''t even get to react as his whole world turned dark.


    [Ding! Please choose a game]


    Just as the blue holographic window appeared, multiple lights turned on.


    The spacious ce made Rio shocked. He fell into a daze.


    A big blue window appeared.


    [Cultivation]


    [MMORPG]


    [RPG]


    ...


    List of genres of games disyed in the window. Rio looked at the disy and thought...


    ''What the hell is this?''


    [These are the genres of games. Every genre has one game. As the host will choose the game, the system will teleport the host to the game. More information will be given after the host chooses a game.]


    ''Genres?''


    Cultivation, MMORPG, RPG, Simtion, Tycoon, etc, Rio nced at them all.


    In the end, his only attention went to cultivation.


    "System, can I only choose one game to y? And will I get any benefits from ying these games?"


    Rio thought. He forcefully gets used to the system. However, there was doubt inside his heart, but he didn''t show it for now.


    [Ding! Host has toplete the given game. Afterpleting the game, Host can choose another game. As for hose another question, as the host will level up inside these games, the host will gain experience. And you will get stronger.]


    ''Wha?!''

 Chapter 67 Prologue: Inhuman Pain

    A boy was standing in front of a huge dungeon with an emotionless face. The boy has white skin, silver hair, aqua eyes, and a cute face.


    He is very cute, if it not for his emotionless face then he would be called an idol. He was 16 years old.


    He was standing in front of the huge dungeon, looking here and there. He was scanning his surrounding to be aware of any threats and monsters.


    The surrounding near the dungeon was hell. Dead bodies of humans, monsters, and local beasts were all scattered in the ground. The blood of those beings made thend red, totally covering its soil with the blood.


    ''There are many monster bodies here, if I had a storage ring or storage skill then I could take these bodies and sell them for a huge amount of money.''


    The boy was thinking while putting his hand on his chin and gently rubbing as to show how much deep he is thinking.


    After thinking for a while, he walked towards the entrance of the huge dungeon. The huge dungeon generally looked like a cave. There were two dragon statues just beside the entrance of the dungeon. Those dragons were sitting on the stone with their eye closed.


    The boy saw them and thought ''They looked like they are guarding this ce. Are they like living statues or just normal statues?''


    The boy looked at the statues for a moment but soon ignore them and looked at the entrance. The entrance of the huge dungeon was also huge. There was no door, no stone nor anything blocking it.


    The entrance was open. Without a care, the boy walked inside the dungeon. The inside of the dungeon waspletely opposite from its outside.


    The whole dungeon was paved with stone fromnd to ceilings. There was no blood, no dead bodies nor any harmful energies. It was like, he just teleported into another ce.


    But, the boy didn''t care about it. He walked inside with his emotionless face. He was not excited nor surprised.


    After walking for some minutes, he arrived in front of a door. The door was not huge, nor have anything different. The door looked like apletely normal and average door.


    The boy push the door but the door didn''t budge. He pushed again with all of his energy but the door didn''t even shake. The boy felt the heaviness of the door.


    The door was heavy like it was made of tinum. tinum, one of the world''s heaviest metals. The boy looked around the door, hoping to find anything to open the door.


    And just at the side of the door, there was a box with its top open. The boy walked there and looked at it.


    There was a red button inside the box. The boy pressed the button without any hesitation.


    *thud* *thud*


    The tinum door started to move inside the ground. After the doorpletely got inside the ground, the boy moved inside.


    The boy finally showed emotion when he looked inside the door. His eyes were wide open and his jaw dropped. He just stared at the room.


    There were no doors on this area indication this was the final orst room of this dungeon. Thest room was beautiful. Many different stones, marvels, and jewelry were used to make the wall, ground, and ceiling. There was nothing inside the room expect of a stone tablet at the end of the room.


    The boy was disappointed. He sighed and walked over to the stone tablet. The boy carefully looked at the stone tablet to not miss anything.


    There were many writings on the stone tablet. It looked like runes were imprinted in them. The boy carefully examined the stone tablet but soon became disappointed as he didn''t find anything.


    He again carefully examined the words to get any clues. There was a line at the corner of the stone tablet which caught the eye of the boy. ''Offer your blood to the stone tablet.''


    This was the only line that the boy understood. He thought for a while.


    ''I havee here and didn''t find anything useful. If I don''t get anything from this stone tablet then-''


    The boy quickly cut his hand with a knife he brought with him to protect himself. The boy felt a little pain in his hand as the blood slowly dripped on the stone tablet.


    *Shine*


    A bright light shined and covered the vision of the boy.


    The runes that were imprinted upon the stone tablet were flowing in the air. The runes flew over to the boy and got imprinted upon his body.


    The boy''s body glowed as the stone tablet turned into Energy. The stone tablet quickly turned into energy and flowed into the boy''s body.


    The whole room also glowed and all the stones, marvels, and jewelry also turned into energy flowed inside the boy''s body.


    That was not all, everything outside the dungeon, the bodies, statues, trees, and other things also became energy as they flowed inside the boy''s body.


    And finally, the dungeon turned into ashes and covered the boy''s body, and made a thickyer over the boy''s skin.


    That all happen in just a couple of minutes. The boy was dumbfounded. He didn''t even know what was happening.


    The boy tried to understand his situation but he started to feel pain inside his body.


    "Arrrrrrggggghhhhhh"<novelnext></novelnext>


    The boy screamed. The pain started to grow more and more intense. The pain was inhuman.


    The tear started to flow from his eye, he gritted his teeth to withstand the pain but it didn''t work instead his gum started to bleed.


    The pain he felt was inhuman. He felt the inside of his body was burning, thorny needles were pricking his body, a hammer smacking at his bone and his whole body being burned.


    The boy cannot withstand the pain as he fell to the ground. But he didn''t let his consciousness lose.


    The body understood that if he lost his consciousness then his life would be lost. But his mind, body, and spirit were all telling him to rx. As if they couldn''t withstand the pain and were asking the boy to stop.


    But the boy didn''t give up. He used all of his willpower to keep his consciousness. The boy definitely knew that if he could withstand this pain, then he would gain an enormous amount of power.


    Finally, the boy lost his will as his mind went nk. The boy used all of his wills but the pain was greater. But he still didn''t lose his consciousness as he started to reminisce about his past to gain more willpower.


    As I fall on the ground and my vision went nk, I saw a memory.


    "Hear n. Those who have awakened their power and can be strong by defeating monsters or absorbing cores are called yers."


    A man in his thirties was telling me about the yers. He was none other than my father.


    "Why are they called yer, papa?"


    I was 6 years old kid, innocent without knowing the situation of the world.


    My father hearing that smiled at me. "It''s because like the yer in the games, they level up defeating monsters and be stronger, we also level up and be stronger by defeating the monsters."


    "Oh!" My eyes glittered.


    My father looked at me and pat my head. "When you be 12 years old, you will also be a yer."


    "Really?!"


    "Yes."


    "Yay!!"


    "Dinner is ready guys. Come."


    My mother called from inside the kitchen.


    "Oh, let''s go and eat."


    "Yes!"


    My father carried me in his back and walked towards the kitchen and put me in one chair.


    My mom, who is a beautiful woman and also is in her thirties, gave me food.


    "Thank you, mom."


    "Oh. Wee, dear!" My mom smiled at me and patted my head.


    We were a happy family. My father and mother were some of the strongest yers in the world. They protected humanity from monsters. My father and mother were deeply respected in our neighborhood.


    "Ok, say aaahhhh." My mother took a spoonful of soup from the bowl and reach out to me.


    "Aahhhhh... mmm~ It''s delicious." I ate the food.


    "Really! Here''s more." My mother happily fed me.


    "Don''t you want to eat from me too, n?" My father also took some vegetables in his spoon and reach out to me.


    "Ahhhh." I ate that with a happy face.


    "Nice Nice." My father also patted me in the head.


    At that time, my life was going splendidly. I was in elementary school. I was popr as I was one of the cutest children in the whole school. Many teachers loved me. But there were many of those who were also jealous of me but because of my parents, they didn''t dare to do anything.


    But one day, when I was sitting in my bed with my father sitting in front of my face to face. It was like normal days.

 Chapter 68 My Past <1>

    "So, today I will tell you about skills." My father smiled happily at me.


    "Skills?" I tilted my head.


    "Yes, skills are one of the important elements when bing strong."


    "Really?"


    "Yes! I have 10 skills and your mother has 20." my father put his hand on his chest and said proudly.


    "Wow," My eyes were full of excitement.


    "Yes, so when you be a yer, a skill is the most important thing, you need."


    "How can I learn skills, papa?"


    "Learning skills is not hard. You can buy skills in the market or receive one from killing monsters in the dungeon."


    "Wow, when could I also grow up and kill the monsters." I was looking forward to killing the monster with my parents.


    "Well, growing up will take time. Also, you need to know that killing a monster is not easy."


    "Really? I think, my father could kill all the monsters easily." I said with an innocent face.


    "Ohh, you are soo cute." My father hugged me.


    "Now now. It''s time for lunch." My mother called us from the kitchen.


    "Ok!" We both said and walked towards the kitchen.


    We were going to have lunch, a phone call suddenly interrupted us.


    My father went towards the phone and picked it.


    "Hello! Who is it?"


    "Oh yes."


    "Ok, we wille immediately."


    My father put the phone and looked at mom and said, "Darling, we have a problem. We need ot go immediately."


    "Ok"


    My mother immediately replied as shey food on the table and went towards their room.


    After a moment, they returned to the kitchen wearing their battle suit. The battle suit was cool. It was made with some special metal. My father''s suit was blue in color and my mom had pink.


    My mom came near me and said, "Sorry, we have to go to work now"


    "Ok, mom. Have fun!"


    "Good boy." My mom patted my head and head with my father.


    They both head outside. They both went to work suddenly in lunch, dinner, nighttime, and even morning, so I was used to it. But it was still sad to be alone.


    There was no caretaker as my mom and dad always return some hours after they head to work. They never stay out. And when they have to be out for some time, they hire someone to look out for me.


    I return to my room and read a book. The book was about the monster world. I read that until nighttime.


    When I became hungry, I went to the kitchen and ate the food, my mom made, and left it in the oven.


    After eating, I slept.


    The next day, my mom and dad still haven''t returned. After waiting for some time, I went to the kitchen and ate breakfast and again wait for my parents.


    *Ding*


    After some time, our doorbell got ringed. I happily went towards the door, hoping it to be my parents.


    I opened the door but instead of my parents, some men wearing ck suits were there.


    Those men were tall and muscr. I was intimidated by their appearance.


    "Wh-Who are you?" I fidgety said to the men.


    One man from the back walked near me and smiled.


    " I am one of the people who work with your father."


    "Really?! Are you my father''s friend?" I was still scared of them but hearing my father''s name made me rx a little.


    "Yea. And I am here to inform you that" He inverted his eyes. He made a serious expression and with a rough voice, he continue. "Your father and mother have died."


    "Huh?" My eyes became wide open. My body trembled.


    "Yea, it''s hard for you. You are just a little boy. But, I have to inform you that and that is my duty." He said while looking apologetically.


    I didn''t speak. My mind went nk the moment I heard the word ''dead''.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Finish it quickly!" A man came from the back. He was big and muscr. His voice was rough. It shook me.


    "Sorry sir, but he is a child. You are scaring him!"


    "Now you are telling me, what to do? I don''t care if he is a child or not, just put him in the van and take him with us."


    "Ok, sir."


    The man again looked at me and murmured ''sorry'' and cast a skill on me.


    My eyes began blurrily and my surround became ck.


    The man in the ck suit cast a skill on me that made me lost my consciousness.


    "Hmm."


    When I woke up, I looked around and was shocked. My eyes were wide open as my mind went nk. I couldn''t think properly nor process anything.


    "Where am I?" I didn''t know where was I and why was I here until I remember it.


    "Oh yes. There were some men who came into my house and told me something."


    I was calmed until now but the sudden remembrance of their word made my heartache.


    "Is that... true that my father and mother are... dead."


    I asked myself. Tears suddenly flowed down through my eye, my heart cannot take it as I cried loudly.


    I pour all of my emotion into crying and again fall asleep.


    "Wake up, you brat."


    The sudden voice woke me up. It made me shocked and surprised as my mind was not clear. But it took only 5 seconds to remember everything.


    I looked over to the guy in front of me. He was a big and muscr guy, the guy who ordered his minion to cast a skill on me.


    "W-why... am I... here?" I slowly spoke. I was trembling as my hands were shaking. My face was full of fear when I saw him.


    "I don''t have time to answer your question. Juste with me!"


    "Noo, I don''t want to go anywhere!!" I shouted but the man didn''t care and drag me with him.


    He took me to a white room with a big bed in the middle and many machines attached to it. I was forcibly taken andid on the bed.


    And they did something to me. They put some sleeping drugs on me and I fell asleep again. And the next moment when I woke up, it was again the same room.


    The room I woke up in was a white room with only a bed in the middle and an iron door at the corner of the room. The room was not very big.


    And from that day, my hellish day started.


    **************


    10 yearster-


    I was still in the bed in the same room and same bed. I was in very bad condition. My body was thin as I didn''t get any nourishment except for some foods which didn''t even quell my hunger.


    I was always taken to another white room with many machines. They always did many experiments on me. They were trying to take out my parent''s power from me.


    But they failed as I didn''t awaken my power. And today was thest day. From 12 to 14 is the prime awaken period. While some may awaken at 16 years old or some may awaken at 10 years old.


    Again, today I was put in a machine with many wires connecting my body. My consciousness faded as they gave me another medicine to make me sleep.


    Even if they did that, the after-effects of medicines, as well as experiments, linger on me giving me pain every day. The pain was bearable at first and I got used to it butter it became more intense and intense even making it hard to bear it.


    My body waspletely broke by the experiments they did. I also hear one doctor saying, if I didn''t awaken my power today, then I will never awaken and I could die anytime.


    "Doctor, what''s the situation? Did it seed?"


    A man in a military uniform asked the doctor in a serious tone.


    The doctor shook his head and replied, "No, it''s failed. The boy''s condition has deteriorated to the extent that even if he awakens the power, he couldn''t survive. His body has be so much weak, and couldn''t handle any force now."


    After hearing that, the man sighed. "So, we wasted 10 years on this trash then."


    "Yea. We thought he could gain his parent''s power but we were wrong. He didn''t even awaken a normal power." The doctor replied in a disappointed expression.


    "So, what should we do with him?" The doctor asked with a straight face.


    "Just throw him out. Even if we leave him, it''s not like he will survive much longer. And he is useless here. Why to waste our resources further on him." The general looked at the boy and again sighed and left the room.


    The doctor walked with him and asked, "Do we let him live?"


    "What''s the point in even killing him? Just let him live for some time. We will do him a favor as his parents have given their lives for humanity."


    "Ok."

 Chapter 69 2: My Past <2>

    "Ok."


    The doctor walked and left the military man and arrived at a room where doctors were conducting experiments on n.


    The doctor ordered them to stop the experiment. They all stopped it.


    Then the doctor ordered some guards to throw the boy outside.


    The guy nodded and took n who was wearing a hospital robe with them and throw him in the forest near theboratory.


    n, woke up confused and surprised.


    ''Where am I? I was in theb just a moment!''


    n didn''t know if it was a dream or reality but he was alive, so he walked deeper into the forest.


    He pulled his cheek to check if it was a dream or reality. He realized that it was real but he was not happy.


    He didn''t emit any emotion as he was put in a room alone for 10 years. He didn''tmunicate with anyone. He didn''t learn emotion instead he forget about it.


    The expression he could only feel are surprise, confuse and fear as he felt every day.


    And after walking for some time, he stumbled against a big dungeon. The dungeon area was covered with mist, making it hard for it to be discovered.


    And then, he went inside, discovered manything and he felt inhuman pain.


    ***************


    "Arrrggghhh!!! I will not... give up!!"


    n gain his willpower back when he looked back at his memories.


    ''Even if I have a 1% chance of living and gain more power then it is worth not to give up.''


    I didn''t give up. The hellish pain was nothing in front of me. I already spent 10 hellish years. The pain was only physical and spiritual but the pain I felt in 10 years was nothing in front of it.


    Mental torture, physical torture, emotionally tortured, and spiritually tortured, I have got tortured by everything, just for power.


    "My parents, did they protect these humans who are too much greedy and selfish. Is humanity a piece of trash? No, humanity is not a piece of trash but it is totally trash. Selfish, greed, envy, power, they want everything. They don''t care about others as long as it benefits them. I will never be like them even if I have to give up on being human.''


    "No, I will not be human instead I will be a monster. A monster that will kill anyone that wille in my way. From today, I n announce that I will never be a human."


    I announced that gritting my teeth. The pain I have felt bes bearable as I get used to that pain. And finally, after 30 minutes of enduring the hellish, inhuman pain, my body rxed.


    The pain left my body. The moment, the pain left my pain, I put my head on the ground and sleep. I lost my consciousness.


    Right before, my whole surroundings ckout, I saw one thing.


    <Congraltion, you have activated-......>


    "Hmm." I woke up. I looked here and there.


    "Where am I?" I was confused as I just woke up and my mind was not clear.


    "Oh yes, the pain-" I suddenly remembered yesterday''s incident.


    I quickly checked my body. There was no problem. I was relieved as well as happy. In the time of 10 years, today was the first time, I felt happiness.


    I felt happy because-


    "I finally be a yer. I finally awoke my powers."


    I could clearly felt the power. The mysterious energy flowing inside my body. Like my father said, when one bes a yer, they feel mysterious energy flowing inside them which makes them more energetic.


    My body, which was on verge of death was also cured. I don''t know how did it got cured. Was it that I awoke my power, or yesterday incident was responsible for it.


    I clearly scanned my area. It was totally different from yesterday. There was no dungeon, no dead bodies, no blood, and no statues. There were only big trees.


    "Stats."


    Without caring about it, I tried to summon my stats window. Stats window is a system that gives us information about our power. My dad taught me that. To see one''s stats window, they just have to call it.


    *Shines*


    A light suddenly covered my vision. I wasn''t surprised as I was prepared for it. Then a huge holographic window appeared in front of my eyes.


    <n><novelnext></novelnext>


    [Level: 1]


    [Exp: 0/100]


    <Stats>


    [Strength: 10]


    [Vitality: 10]


    [Magic: 8]


    <Skills: G-coin storage>


    <G-coins:-->


    Seeing the stats window does not make me relief but instead, it made me more confused.


    "Why is my G-coin nk?"


    G-coin is a currency of the yer system. It is one of the most important things for a yer. G-coin can use in many things. G-coins are filled with mysterious energy and people could create different equipment from it as well as magical items. yers could exchange G-coins with real currency.


    G-coin is very rare and hard to obtain. A single G-coin is earned by killing an A-rank monster. But even killing an A-rank monster, has a 20% chance of getting 1 coin. Only by killing an SS-rank monster, one can earn G-coin as it has 100% chance of obtaining one coin. That''s why one single G-coin is equal to 100,000$ dors.


    My parents told me that 30 years earlier, an apocalyptic event urred which killed more than 1 billion people and a new magical world took its ce. After that, people with magical power who are termed as yers appeared.


    They killed monsters. The monster who resides in the dungeon and some magical ces, and asionallye out whenever a dungeon break or magic over-limit urs.


    From the info I obtained from the doctor, hearing their conversation. I got that, now SSS-rank dungeon and SS-rank yers are appearing. The whole world has changed much more.


    "Why is my G-coin empty? ording to my parents, a newly awaken yer gets 1 G-coins as their awaken bonus." I sighed.


    I wasn''t that depressed nor excited. I just clicked on G-coin storage skill to check if it works even if my G-coin is empty.


    G-coin storage is an F-rank skill that every yer has. It is a basic skill that stores G-coin when they obtain one and withdraw it when they need it. No one knows, why is this skill given to them as there are many people who couldn''t kill the powerful monsters and earn G-coins.


    <G-coin Storage>


    [G-coins Amount: ¡Þ]


    [How much G-coin do you want to withdraw? <Amount> <Enter>]


    I clicked on <Amount> and a keyboard appeared before me. The keyboard had numbers, not words. I put 1 and click on <Enter>.


    <1 G-coin is withdrawing...>


    A bright light shined before my eyes as a single G-coin floated in front of me. I grabbed it and looked at it. The G-coin was a gold coin that shines brightly.


    I was confused.


    "How did I gain this coin?"


    After pondering for a while, I gave up and again tried. This time I put 100 on <amount> and clicked on <Enter>.


    <100 G-coin is withdrawing...>


    And 100 G-coin floated in front of my eyes. My face soon bloomed into a smile. The feeling which I never felt in 10 years, I felt now. Happy, Excited, and Fun.


    Then I started to walk out of the forest. I walked for a while and reached the end of the forest in 10 minutes.


    I got out of the forest. I looked in front and saw a huge city. The city was covered with huge walls. There was no entrance as it indicated it was the back of the city.


    I walked around and reached in front of the city entrance. There was a big sign written, "Novice-Hunter City". And just below the sign were two people who were guarding the ce.


    I could sense their aura. They were more powerful than me for the moment.


    I entered the city wearing a white hospital robe. I passed by the guards. They didn''t do anything to me. They just looked at me strangely.


    I ignored their gaze and just walked inside the city. The city was bustling with people. There were many huge buildings and some small shops. Many yers wearing defensive suits, carrying swords, staff, bows, daggers, etc were walking.


    I didn''t care as I went inside one of the buildings. The building was huge. The building was painted with blue color and there was a money sign at the top of the building. It was none other than a bank.


    I wanted to exchange my G-coins with real money, so I went inside the bank. The bank had no security guards. The first floor was filled with different kinds of ATM machines.


    Most of the machines were used in withdrawing money from the Hunter card. A Hunter card is something a yer receives when they join a hunter guild. There are mainly 5 types of the guild. Hunter, Adventure, Alchemy, cksmith, and Enchanter. They all have their respective cards, but since this city is called Novice-Hunter city, there are manly hunter guilds or hunter guilds members in this city.

 Chapter 70 Novice-Hunter City

    I entered the city wearing a white hospital robe. I passed by the guards. They didn''t do anything to me. They just looked at me strangely.


    I ignored their gaze and just walked inside the city. The city was bustling with people. There were many huge buildings and some small shops. Many yers wearing defensive suits, carrying swords, staff, bows, daggers, etc were walking.


    I didn''t care as I went inside one of the buildings. The building was huge. The building was painted with blue color and there was a money sign at the top of the building. It was none other than a bank.


    I wanted to exchange my G-coins with real money, so I went inside the bank. The bank had no security guards. The first floor was filled with different kinds of ATM machines.


    Most of the machines were used in withdrawing money from the Hunter card. A Hunter card is something a yer receives when they join a hunter guild. There are mainly 5 types of the guild. Hunter, Adventure, Alchemy, cksmith, and Enchanter. They all have their respective cards, but since this city is called Novice-Hunter city, there are manly hunter guilds or hunter guilds members in this city.


    SO, most of the ATM machines are for this card. I checked all of the machines and finally found the machine which I was looking for.


    At the corner of the room, an old machine which has G-coin sign on it was the machine I was looking for. This machine is called G-Machine. These types of machines are very rare. Every city only has one and most developed and powerful cities have 2 or 3. In total, a small country generally has 10 to 20 G-machine where the big and powerful country has up to 100.


    These machines are rare because earning G-coins are much harder and only some could earn it. That''s why they are rare.


    Also, these types of machines don''t have much security as they are practically impossible to rob. Every machine doesn''t carry money on them, when a card is input, it processes the card and materializes the money, the card has.


    And the G-machine doesn''t need the card.


    "I just need to put this coin inside this machine."


    I use my skill and took out one coin and put it inside the machine.


    The machine quickly devour the coin and started to emit blue and red light which means it is processing.


    I have all of the knowledge of this despite being trapped in ab because I read books. Theb had many books and many guards, doctors, scientists, etc just disposed of their unwanted books in my room. They did that because I don''t get much bored and increase my knowledge.


    They did that because they wanted me to gain knowledge about powers. There is a theory that if one could get much knowledge about powers then the brain will use that knowledge to develop the power. And many science things which I didn''t understand. And of course, it failed.


    *Ding*


    The machine finished its processing and took out a card. It was a money card or MC. It is a mostly used card for ordinary humans and low-level hunters to store their money. It is white in color and has many codes, signs, and a QR code imprinted on it.


    I quickly took the card and went outside. I scanned the area and saw a huge building with a shopping cart sign on top of it. I went inside the building.


    It was a supermarket. I looked here and there and quickly find a clothes shop. I walked inside of it and a woman in her twenties greeted me.


    "Wee...sir?"


    She was looking at me strangely, It was probably because I was wearing a white robe of hospital and made me looked like a patient.


    I ignored her and searched the shop. I bought any clothes that interested me. I chose one and went inside the changing room and changed my clothes. I took out the white rope and wear a white t-shirt, ck pants, and a ck jacket.


    I came out of the changing room and quickly went to the receptionist with other clothes. The girls who were shopping inside the shop stared at me. The receptionist woman was also staring at me.


    "Wow, look at that boy, isn''t he cool!" One of the girls said to the girl next to her.


    "Yes, he is looking cool. I wish I could be his girlfriend." The girl replied in a nervous tone.


    "You, his girlfriend. You are not suited for him. He is so cool and you are not that cute nor beautiful. I think I am suited to him more."


    "No, I am."


    Those girls just started to argue randomly. n also looked at them but ignored them and face the receptionist girl. The receptionist was the same woman that greeted him earlier.


    "I want to buy these." I gave the clothes to the woman.


    "...Sure!"


    She took the clothes and packed them in a bag. That was a low-level magical item that are reced as stic bags.


    "Here sir."


    She gave me the bag and I hand over my card to her.


    "Wait, sir. It would take some time to process the card."


    "Ok." I said with an emotionless face. My eyes were cold that made the receptionist a little scared.


    After some time, the receptionist quickly returned to me with my card.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Here sir. The payment is sessful." The woman said with a smile on her face. That made her more beautiful.


    But I didn''t care. I just nod and left the shop. Then I quickly went towards a restaurant. A cute teenage girl appeared before me and greeted me.


    "Wee, sir. Let me take you to your table." She said with a cheery smile on her face.


    "Ok."


    She quickly led me to a table at the corner of the restaurant and said, "Please choose your order and call me, sir!"


    "Ok." I said indifferently.


    The girl left murmuring, "Wow, he is so cool."


    I ignored that and looked at the menu. There were many types of dishes. I randomly chose a dish called ''momo''


    After choosing a dish, I called the waiter by pressing the bell that was on the table.


    The girl returned. "Have you decided your order, sir?"


    "Yes, I want this dish called ''momo''."


    "Ok. Please wait a minute."


    She again left and return after a few moments with a te in her hand.


    "Here sir." She gently put the te on the table. "Please enjoy your dish." And left with a cute smile.


    On the te, there were some round objects. It was momo and just beside it was a bowl full of tomato pickle.


    I took one momo and mix it with a pickle and eat it. It was delicious or what I wanted to say but I didn''t say anything and just ate the food in silence. It was out of the habit.


    I again ordered more momo and ate it. I ate for a whole hour and finish at least 50 tes of momos. The waiter and staff of the restaurants were surprised to see that.


    The girl who took my girl came towards me and asked, "Sir, do you need another te?" with a troubled smile on her face.


    I replied, "No, I have eaten enough." and took out my card. "Here." I gave the card to the girl and she took out a small handheld machine from her pocket and scan the card with it.


    After some minutes, she returned the card and I went outside without saying anything. And this time, I went outside from the building and walked towards another building which had a sign written ''Food Inn''.


    I entered inside the ''Food Inn'' building.


    The ce was like a restaurant. Many people were sitting at tables and eating food. I ignored them and walked towards the receptionist.


    The receptionist was an old man. He looked at me and asked, "What do you want?"


    "I want a room to spend the night."


    "Ok, which grade room do you want?"


    "I want the most expensive one."


    "The expensive one takes 2000$ a night! Do you still want it?"


    "Yea. Here!"


    I gave the card to the old man and he scanned the card with a machine. Then he returned the card and gave me a key and said, "Enjoy your stay." with a smile.


    I ignored it and walked upstairs. After walking for a while, I came across my room and entered it.


    The inside of the room was good. It had a bed, TV, bathroom, AC and other features. I quicklyy on the bed and fall asleep.


    The next day, I woke up and came downwards. There were many people eating breakfast. The old man saw me and smiled.


    "Good morning. Have a sit and have breakfast."


    I didn''t reply and just sat on a chair near me. A teen girl who seems to be the same age as mine came towards me with a te in her hand.

 Chapter 71 Spending Money Like Water

    I entered inside the ''Food Inn'' building.


    The ce was like a restaurant. Many people were sitting at tables and eating food. I ignored them and walked towards the receptionist.


    The receptionist was an old man. He looked at me and asked, "What do you want?"


    "I want a room to spend the night."


    "Ok, which grade room do you want?"


    "I want the most expensive one."


    "The expensive one takes 2000$ a night! Do you still want it?"


    "Yea. Here!"


    I gave the card to the old man and he scanned the card with a machine. Then he returned the card and gave me a key and said, "Enjoy your stay." with a smile.


    I ignored it and walked upstairs. After walking for a while, I came across my room and entered it.


    The inside of the room was good. It had a bed, TV, bathroom, AC and other features. I quicklyy on the bed and fall asleep.


    The next day, I woke up and came downwards. There were many people eating breakfast. The old man saw me and smiled.


    "Good morning. Have a sit and have breakfast."


    I didn''t reply and just sat on a chair near me. A teen girl who seems to be the same age as mine came towards me with a te in her hand.


    "Here!''


    She put the te down and smiled at me and returned.


    I ate the food that was on the te. Then I went outside. This time, I walked towards a huge building. The tallest building in the city. There was a sign written ''Hunter Guild'' on it.


    I walked inside it and went near the receptionist''s desk. There was a beautiful woman. She looked at me and smiled.


    "What can I do for you, sir?"


    "I want to sign a temporary dungeon license."


    A temporary Dungeon License is a license that a yer can request in any guild. This license allows a yer to explore and kill monsters in the dungeon. If the yer doesn''t have any dungeon license then they can''t enter the dungeon.


    The girl looked at me for a while and replied, "Wait a minute, I wille back!"


    She left the desk and went inside a room. Then she bought a bag and a paper.


    "Please sign in this paper."


    I read the paper and sign it.


    Then she took out a device, it was a hand watch. She put it on my wrist.


    [Scanning] [Scanning] [Scanning]


    The wristwatch emitted red light and after some minute it turned blue.


    [The person who wore this watch is an F-rank yer.]


    The holographic message floated outside from the watch. I took the watch from my wrist and returned it to her. The woman took the watch and put it in the bag and took out a card.


    She gave it to me and I took it and went away from the Receptnoist desk and enter a nearby room which had a sign ATMS written on it. I took out the card, the receptionist gave me and looked at it. It was a digital, silver card. It is mainly used to scan around the entrance of the dungeon, that humans build around it.


    I saw three machines different from one in the bank. They were modified ATMs and can exchange any cards, credits, and G-coins into money. I put 1000 G-coins into the machine and it process it.


    After 5 minutes, it gave me another card. It was a dark ck card different from the ones that I got in the bank. It was because of how much money you process in the machine, the card color changes.


    I took the card and walked around the guild building and I immediately found a room that had a ''buy skills'' sign on it. Next to it had another room ''buy equipment and next to it had another room ''buy weapons''.


    I entered the ''buy skill'' room and immediately an old man came towards me.


    "Wee. What do you need, sir?"


    The old man greeted me and took me towards the desk.


    I replied, "I want to buy skills."


    "What rank skills do you want?"


    "I want F-rank and E-rank skills."


    "Ok, please follow me."


    The old man walked inside a room and I followed him. It was the Archive. Many skills books were kept inside different selves.


    The old man took me to a middle self and took out different types of skills.


    "Please choose the skills."


    "Ok."


    I looked at the mountain of skills and chooses 10 skills immediately. I took the skills towards the desk and bought them.


    It took me 150,000$. After buying the skills, I immediately learned them. Learning a skill isn''t hard, we just have to hold the skill and put our mana in it and we will learn it.


    Then I went outside the room and checked my skills.


    [F-Fireball: Throws a ball of fire. (Proficiency: 0%)]


    [F-Pir of Swords: Can create 3 swords of mana and control them. (Proficiency:0%)]

    [E-Vision: Enhances the eyesight. (Proficiency:0%)]


    "Heh."


    I smiled and pumped my fist and enter another room ''buy equipment''.


    I enter the room ''buy equipment'' and saw many selves with different kinds of equipment. Armor, essories, Potions, and some other things were kept on the shelves.


    I looked around and walked towards a middle-aged man.


    The man looked at me and asked, "Wee. What do you want?"


    I said indifferently. "I want Armors, Hollow Watch, Potions, and essories."


    The an''s eye widens to hear my statement. He smiled and replied. "Pleasee, I will show you around."


    I replied, "No need, just show me the most expensive things you have. Also, I need one auto storage bag."


    "Ok, sir!" The man ran towards a room that was beside the man. And after some minutes, he came with a storage ring in his hand.


    He put the ring on the desk and a lot of stuff came out from the ring. He then said in a serious tone, "These are all the stuff which are most expensive in this store. Total, it is 100 million dors."


    "Ok." I hand him my ck card and he quickly returned it to me after scanning it. I took the storage ring and put all the stuff inside it and left the store.


    I entered the room next to it. It was the weapon store. I looked at different kinds of weapons on the selves. A beautiful woman in her thirties came to greet me. "Wee sir, what weapons do you want." She said with a beautiful smile.


    I replied still looking at the weapons. "Give me the most expensive weapons, you have in this store."


    The woman''s eyes widen and in a cheerful voice, she replied. "Ok, please wait a minute."


    She quickly ran towards the room next to the desk and just after some minutes, she returned with a storage ring.


    She took out all the weapons from the ring and showed them to me. I just looked at it and bought it. I quickly left the room after I put the weapons in the ring.


    And finally, I left the Hunter Guild and walked on the street. I looked here and there and found a big hotel. I went there and bought a room.


    After buying the room, I went inside it. The room was beautiful as it was the most expensive one. The room was furnished with different kinds of furniture. The bath was also huge. I sat on the bed and took out every stuff I bought.


    [S-Defensive Armor: A S-rank defensive armor that can protect the host from A-rank monsters. No damage will receive from monsters up to A-rank and also heal the host if any kind of damage is received.]

    These are the stuff I have. I also have 100 mana potions and health potions and a hollow watch. The hollow watch is a digital wristwatch that is used to use the inte. It has many uses.


    I wore the write watch and activate it.


    [Wrist Watch activate]


    "Search Government yer Lab"


    [Searching...]


    [100 results found.]


    "Tell me the information about thisb."


    [Governemtn yer Lab is a government organization that researches the yer. It is the most funded organization in this country. This ce has 100 doctors, 500 scientists, and 200 guards.]


    "What rank of the yer guard this ce?"


    [From D-rank to A-rank yer guards this ce.]


    "Ok. So, I have to be at least an S-rank yer to raid this ce... Search about the nearest dungeon."


    [Nearest dungeon, 10 found. 5 F-rank, 4 E-rank, and 1 D-rank dungeon.]


    "Ok. Turn off."


    [Turning off..] *Beep*


    With that, Iid on the bed. It was still the evening, so I ordered some food from the hotel and ate it. I also turned on the TV and watch the news. And, I prepared for the uing battle with the monster in the dungeon.


    Iid on the bed after watching TV.


    "I have the power of rank A-adventure with just my equipment. But I don''t have any battle experience and I need more good skills. But only E-rank skills are my capacity."


    To use higher rank skills, one mana needs to be pure. Mana will be pure when we level up and there is no shortcut for that.


    I sighed and close my eye. I fall asleep.


    The next day, I woke up, ate my breakfast, and called a taxi. The taxi arrived and I sat down on it. There was no driver in the taxi as the taxi has self-driving technology.


    The taxi drove outside the city and reached a dungeon. It was an F-rank dungeon, which is the basic dungeon for beginners.


    I get out of the taxi and the taxi returned to the city. I looked around the dungeon. Many yers were preparing to dive into the dungeon while other yers were already in the teleportation circle.


    I also walked towards the teleportation circle and scanned my id in the machine that was next to the circle. The machine turned green and the teleportation glow.


    And instantly, I got transported into a huge grasnds.

 Chapter 72 First Fight

    I got transported into a grasnd. Many huge grasses covered up to my knees. I stood up and walked.


    Just after some time, I encountered my very first monster. It was the F-rank wolf. I slowly walked without making any noise. I slowly approached the wolf and cast a fireball. A small ball of fire fill my palm and I threw that at the wolf.


    *Howl*


    The wolf cried in pain. It didn''t die, so I again cast wind sh, and the wind slice the wolf head. The wolf didn''t get to cry this time and die. Other wolves who heard the cry came running at the wolf. They still hadn''t seen me, so I hid in the grass and cast pirs of swords. Three swords created by man floated in the mid-air. I threw those swords at the three wolves.


    Thrust! The sword thrust into the wolf''s body. They all cried and fall to the ground. Two wolves remained. They saw me and charged at me. I cast quick speed and quickly got away from them. Then I immediately cast fireball, wind sh, and pir of swords and immediately kill the two wolves.


    "Ha! Ha!" I catch my breath and walked towards the dead body of those wolves. I saw 2 cores dropped from their body and their body disappearing in the surrounding.


    Cores are valuable objects for adventures. There are mainly 3 cores, Strength, Vitality, and Magic. As the name suggests, they increase one stat. If I absorb the strength core, my strength will increase. But cores are not normally found. In 5 monsters, only 1 monster drop cores.


    I collect the cores and put them in my storage bag. I order my auto storage bag for mana potions and it gave it to me. A long robotic hand took the mana potions from the bag and took them out and hand it over to me and return to its ce.


    I drank the mana potion and recovered my mana. I rushed down the path of grasnd and quickly encounter another 5 wolves. I quickly cast the skill and killed them. 2 cores dropped this time.


    I again ran and encounter another set of wolves. I killed them with my skills. 3 cores dropped again but this time a glistering book also dropped from the body. It was the skill book.


    I quickly pick the skill book and let my hollow watch scan it.


    [Scan Complete... This is [Minor Heal] skill book.]


    [Minnor heal is an F-rank skill that heals small wounds and injuries.]


    The watch gave me the information and I quickly absorb the skill book and learned the skill. I again rushed down.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    I kill every wolf that came at me. Ipleted 1st.. 2nd.. 3rd... 4th.. floor continuously without resting, And just within 20 minutes of entering the dungeon, I reached the boss room. Normally, a party of yers takes 1 to 2 hours toplete 1 floor. They have to rest and recover their mana and energy.


    [Congralutation... You have level up. Level-up 5]


    I quickly leveled up to 5 in just a couple of minutes. I ignored the notification and open the boss room''s door. I drank 2 mana potions and fill my mana.


    There I saw a big wolf, a wolfpletely different from those wolves that I killed. It was 3 times bigger than those. There were white marks on its face. Its w was much sharper and its fangs were bigger.


    A cold shiver ran down my spines. But I quickly calm myself and faced the boss. The boss looked at me and walked towards me.


    I immediately cast my skills.


    "Fireball...Wind sh... Pir of swords... Quick Speed... Charge..."


    I quickly increased my speed and made the distance between me and the boss monster. The attack skills injured the boss monster but the injuries weren''t that deep. It quickly recovered itself and charged at me.


    I ran from the boss monster while casting spells.


    Howl!


    After 5 minutes, the boss monster cried and fall. It died. I quickly walked towards its dead body. 2 magic cores and 1 skill book dropped from its body.


    I quickly put cores in my bag and scan the skill.


    [Scan Complete... This is [Tornado] skill.]


    [Tornado is a C-rank skill that creates a huge tornado and continuously gives damage to the monster. Last for 2 minutes.]


    I learned the skill. Even though I learned the skill, I can''t use it. To use a C-rank skill, a yer needs to be at 10 levels and I am just at 5. So, I just learned and left it and quickly went to thest room. It was the teleportation room.


    The moment I step inside, a light covered my eyes and I quickly got transported outside of the dungeon.


    [Congralution... You have beat the F-rank dungeon.]


    [You have sessfully leveled up to 6. The system has been activated. Changing the interface. Adding extra function.]


    "Huh?" I became confused by the sudden notification. The yer system only notifies about leveling up but my system gave me some unexpected notifications.


    Then my stats window appeared with some changes.

    I was dumbfounded by the sudden change.


    I was staring at my notification screen until it disappeared. I didn''t know what to do.


    "I should just finish the quest." I decided that and again went back to the teleportation circle. I again got teleported to the grasnd and I killed the wolves that came at me.


    And after 20 minutes, I reached the boss''s room. Unlikest time, I was fully prepared. I entered the room and quickly activated my skills.


    "Quick speed... Charge... Rage...Magic Barrier...Guard."


    My whole body got covered with differentyers. It was like a rainbow covered my body. My defense with the defensive suit be too much that I didn''t even fear about the boss.


    The boss charged at me the moment it saw me, but i didn''t move. I stayed at the same ce and raised my arm.


    "Wind sh...Fireball...Pir of swords."


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    I continuously used my skill. The boss didn''t even get to reach my barrier.


    Howl! Its death cry echoed at the empty room. I quickly went near its body and found 2 cores, 1 vitality, and another strength. There was no skill book this time. I was a little disappointed.


    I quickly took 2 mana potions from my bag and drank them. My body filled with energy and I again walked towards the teleportation circle and got transported outside.


    The moment I got outside, I heard many voices.


    "Hey hey, look at the screen." One young guy said to the girl next to him.


    "What what?" She looked in the direction where the guy was pointing.


    "The Lino''s record got broken." Another guy eximed.


    "What?" Everyone around the area got surprised and they also looked at the screen.


    Following their gazes, I also looked at the screen. I saw many names written with a specific time right next to their names.


    ''Unknown'' name was first with the time 22:12 minutes and ''Lino'' name was second with the time 25:12.


    This was the dungeon clear time. I was at the first, my name didn''t get disyed because I used the temporary card which hasn''t got registered with my name.


    While many people were talking with each other, I again went inside the dungeon and clear it. And after 3 hours, I sessfully beat the dungeon 10 times. I have to use extra 5 mana potions and I gained 30+ monster cores and 2 skills.


    <Congraultation... You have leveled up to 10.>


    <Congrtion... You havepleted the quest.>


    <Reward received: 1 quest box.>


    <Congration... You have received ''Weak Dungeon Beater'' Achievement.>


    <Congrtion... You have reached the required level to unlock the ''Dungeon'' function. You have also unlocked the ''Auto G-coins'' function.>


    I again became confused. But this time, I didn''t care much.

    I ignored other functions and clicked on the item ''Lv.5 Gift box.''


    <Do you want to use Lv.5 Gift box [Yes] / [No]>


    "Yes!"


    Ding!


    <Sessfully used the item.>

    My eyes got wide when I saw the reward. My hands were shaking in excitement. My list curved a smile. Without further ado, I opened the quest box.


    <Sessfully used the item.>


    <Recevied: x1 random quest, x1 random stats, x1 random profession, x1 experience card.>


    I again opened another gift box.

    "Oh!" My eyes got full of excitement. I couldn''t hold it any longer.


    "Yeahhhh!" I shouted at the middle of the dungeon entrance. Many peoples were staring at me but I didn''t care and quickly cast my speed spells and quickly reached my hotel.


    I immediately enter my room and checked all of the rewards.


    I returned to my room and immediately checked my rewards. The rewards are in the system storage. I don''t know how but I got that information.


    "System Storage!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    I called for the system storage. But it was loading or something like that, so I thought about other things.


    The cores and skills dropped from monster are in my storage ring and I don''t know why, but they don''t get disyed in the items list.


    As I was thinking, the window suddenly popped in front of me and startled me.

    The long list of items filled my entire vision. I clicked on all of the lists and used them.


    [Congrtions... You have used the items.]


    [You received: 3 skills (1 F-rank and 2 E-rank), 5 C-rank equipment, 2 C-rank weapons, 1 E-rank quest, +10 magic stats, Alchemist profession, cksmith profession, 5 B-rank equipment, 5 A-rank equipment, 2 B-rank weapons, 2 A-rank weapons, Appras Divine Ability.]


    [The other items can''t be used in this area.]


    The whole list of notifications covered my vision as I deleted them all. I grinned. But I wasn''t that happy.


    "I have already an S-rank equipment set and 3 S-rank weapons that I don''t want to use now. Other things are good. I will check themter."


    Iid on the bed and only checked some things that caught my interest.


    <Auto G-coins Function>


    [Use auto mana refill (Uses 1 G-coin per second)]


    [Auto magic enhance (Use 2 G-coins per second)]


    [???]


    (The host needs to level up more to unlock more functions.)


    "What?" I jumped out from my bed to see these. It was out of my calctions.


    I can refill my mana using G-coins then I don''t have to use any mana potions and it will make my battle easier as I don''t have to worry about losing mana.


    I was happy as I used another function.


    <Dungeon Function>


    [F-rank Dungeon... Click here to enter.]


    [??]


    (Defeat previous dungeon to unlock more dungeon.)


    I sighed. I have received so many good things that I could already be invincible.


    "No.."


    Overpowered? No, I am still far from it.


    "I could easily be defeated by experienced A-rank yer and S-rank yers."


    I need to work hard. I can''t only rely on money nor the system. If I don''t have any experience in battle then how much powerful I became, someone could still defeat me.


    "Now, I could use C-rank skill. I should buy tomorrow."


    And with that, I made a n to beat every dungeon of this city. And after beating A-rank dungeon, I shall go to theb to get my revenge.


    "No, not only theb."


    Theb is only the puppet. The real opponent of mine is the government.


    "I shall defeat the government." And after defeating it, I could finally say, I get my revenge.


    I became angry at my weakness. Even if I have many advantages, I am still far from the real A-rank strength.


    I am not overpowered. I am just over blessed. Overblessed by the god.


    "I will use everything to be powerful and I shall be the strongest in the world."


    I made a vow to myself. To be strongest, to be invincible.


    ************


    At the headquarter of the government, a young man carrying a document was running towards a room. He opened the room door and shouted.


    "Commander... I have a got a report."


    A middle-aged man who have a scar on his eye was sitting in an expensive chair looking at a document. He heard the man''s voice and looked at him with cold eyes.


    "What report?"


    "I have got 2 news. First, we have got some lead on the disappearance of the two S-rank yers!!"


    "Hmm!!" The man raise his brow and asked. "The disappearance of Albert and E?"


    "Yes. They suddenly got disappeared in the hidden dungeon."


    "Hidden Dungeon?" The man stood up and reach towards the guy and grabbed the documents.


    "Yes, the dungeon which power couldn''t be measured, the scientist named it the hidden dungeon." The guy pointed at a line of the document. "This dungeon power couldn''t be measured even with our current technology. The scientist has made the assumption that this dungeon would be an SSS-rank or even stronger dungeon."

 Chapter 74 Overpowered... No, I Am Still Far From It!

    The man''s eyes got widen. His emotionless face finally showed emotion.


    "Really?..."


    "Yes, we have got no other information about the dungeon except it''s really dangerous even for Ethan."


    "So, tell me more about the lead of two S-rank yers'' disappearance."


    "Yes, 10 years earlier, a huge dungeon appeared. Its power couldn''t be measured so, the government sent 50 B-rank, 10 A-rank, and 2 S-rank yers to explore the dungeon. But unfortunately, they never came back. When 10 S-rank were sent to explore the dungeon, only 5 returned alive with 3 seriously injured and 2 slightly injured." The guy catches a breath.


    "Then, we got that the dungeon monster was too much powerful. ording to those survivors, there weren''t any traces of any yers. The 5 S-rank which died or not, we couldn''t know. Those survivors stated that they suddenly lost those 5 S-rank yers, they tried to search for them but a huge monster appeared. They fought with them but got injured and they somehow got out of the dungeon."


    He again catches his breath. "And that''s all we know about that incident."


    The man who was listening read the document. After reading for a while, he looked at the guy. "So, why are you telling the past now?"


    "It''s because there are some footstep of peopleing out from the dungeon."


    "Really?"


    "Yes, look at these." He took out some photos and gave them to themander.


    "So, did you find anything else."


    "Yes, I tried to search the owner of these footstep but I couldn''t find them."


    "Huh? Did you properly search for them?"


    "Yes, I asked every person near the dungeon. I also used many tools to trace their steps but I didn''t get any clue. It was like, the person disappeared in the surrounding."


    "Hmm. Is that all."


    "Yes!."


    "So, tell me about the next report."


    "Yes, we have recently gained a huge amount of G-coins."


    "What?" Themander was again shocked.


    "Yes, there were at least 1000 G-coins."


    "Where?"


    "In the remote ce. The system there was old or not properly maintained, so we couldn''t know the ce but a total of 1001 G-coins were exchanged. We got the G-coins in our machine today."


    Themander put his hand on his head and thought for a while. After thinking, he ordered the guy.


    "Go and find anything about the person who exchanged these G-coins. That person could be a hidden yer and a most powerful one."


    "How did you know that he is a powerful yer?"


    "The amount of G-coin he exchanged is huge. It took us nearly one year to gain 1000 G-coins with the sacrifice of 5 S-rank yers. If that person has these many amounts of G-coins then he would have killed many S-rank or SS-rank monsters. So, go and find anything about him."


    "Ok."


    The guy ran out of the room. Themander looked at the report and read it again.


    Brirrrrrring! Brirrrrrrrrring! Brirrrrrrring!


    A loud buzzing sound woke up me. I stood up and did my usual activities and got ready.


    ''Now, time to check this dungeon..."


    Today, I am going into the dungeon of the dungeon function. I don''t know anything about it and how much dangerous it is...


    But it is an F-rank dungeon, so how much dangerous is it gonna be...


    <Are you ready to dive into the F-rank dungeon - The Goblin''s Camp - [Yes] / [No]>


    "Huh?...Goblin''s Camp?"


    I got confused by its name but chose to ignore it. I touched on the touch on the yes button.


    [Diving into the dungeon...]


    [...]


    Shine!


    A bright light covered my vision. The light cleared up and I open my open. And I saw, a big dark hall paved with stones. Skeletons lying on the ground, bats hanging on the ceilings, and a cold flowing in the surrounding.


    I walked. And after a while, I saw a monster.


    Squeak!


    It ran the moment it saw me. I was a bit confused as the monster always attacked the moment they saw any human.


    I thought but didn''t get to anything, so I again walked. After a while, I saw five monsters. They were the same height as the previous one and I could properly see their body.


    Their skin was green, their height was of a child''s size and they had a dragger on their hand. In one word, it was a goblin that could only be found in rank C dungeon.


    ''Why is there a C-rank monster in an F-rank dungeon?''


    That was on my mind but I didn''t get any answer. But I did get the goblins charging at me.


    C-rank monsters are mid-tier monsters that have a bit of intelligence. Unlike wolves, they attack in groups and if they found any enemy they can''t defeat, they run and put traps.


    I took a sword from my inventory as it is hard to kill them with just magic.


    nk!


    I blocked the goblin''s dragger attack with my sword. Their strength wasn''t that much, so I blocked it easily.<novelnext></novelnext>


    nk! nk! nk!


    The goblins attacked me and I blocked their attack. Their speed is much better than mine, so keeping up with their attack is hard. If it wasn''t for my armor then I would have already got injuries in my body.


    nk! Stab!


    I finally stab a goblin chest. It bled and fall on the ground and died. The other four goblins ran when they saw their attacks weren''t any use.


    "Ha!" I sat on the ground.


    ''Damn! I only killed one goblin after 5 minutes of battle!'' My speed was worst than theirs. So, they came at me with great speed while I was struggling on keeping up with their attacks.


    I stood up and again walked but this time, I used all of my abilities and skills. Quick Speed, Charge, Guard, Rage, Vision.


    My speed and vision got greatly enhanced. I quickly ran and catch up with the goblins and stab them with my sword.


    Stab! Slice! Stab! Stab!


    I quickly killed them. They didn''t get any time even to block my attack. And I again ran ahead. I spotted some goblins. I killed them easily. And after 10 minutes, I found a door.


    It had a big board on top of it, written ''Boss Room'' with a bloody color.


    ''I reached the boss room, so fast!"


    It generally took 1 hour or more to reach the boss room. Even if yers didn''t rest and pushed ahead at their full speed, they still need 1 hour to 50 minutes to reach a boss door.


    ''But... this dungeon doesn''t have any floors..."


    Every dungeon up to C-rank has floors. If any dungeon doesn''t have any floors then it means it is a B-rank or a higher level door.


    I opened the door and step inside the boss room.


    The moment I step inside, the door closed and a holographic message floated.


    [Defeat the boss to exit.]


    ''So, even if I am going to die, I can''t escape.''


    I took a fighting stance...


    ''It''s do or die time...''


    I ran ahead. There was a huge chair at the end of the room. A big fat goblin which size was 5 times bigger than the normal goblins was sitting.


    The moment it saw me, it stood up and took a big hammer in its left hand, and charged towards me.


    nk!


    My sword and its hammer collide. Its strength was way too much than mine, the one collide numb my hands.


    I step back and cast fireball, wind sh, and pir of swords. The skills hit the boss, but it didn''t take single damage. Its skin was thick and its defense was too high, so my low-level skill didn''t give it any damage.


    I again step back and create some distance and cast another skill tornado. A tornado, which size was 2 times bigger than mine. The tornado flowed towards the boss. But...


    Bang!


    The boss ms his hammer at the tornado and cut it into two. The tornado didn''t disappear and again flowed towards the big goblin.


    Then a small window appeared before me.


    <Enemey Status>


    [Name: Cheif Goblin]


    [Level: 50]


    [Rank: F]


    [Skills: Attack-up, Wrecking Ball, Armor Breaker]


    [Weakness: Neck]


    It was the appraisal ability. I don''t know why it suddenly appeared before me but it gave me some useful info.


    "What?!!! 50 level and only F-rank. Even a C-rank monster is only 30 to 40 level..."


    I was dumbfounded. My jaw dropped and my eyes wide without knowing what to do. So, I just focused on its weakness.


    And, Without wasting a single, I ran towards the goblin. My tornado disappeared as it time got up. I jumped at the goblin and swing my sword.


    nk!


    It blocked. Its eyes got red and its hand and hammer started to glow.


    ''Shit!''


    I cursed as I tried to run. But, I didn''t get to as it mmed its hammer on the ground. The glowing transferred on the ground and a big shockwave hit me. Not only the shockwave, but the glowingnd also struck me.


    I got flown away and hit the wall. My S-rank armor protected me but it got broken. And it falls to the ground.


    <Armor Status>


    [Name:None]


    [Rank: F]


    [Durablity: 0/1000]


    [Status: Broken]


    I got stiffened by it. My whole body became cold and a chill ran down my spine. My mind became chaotic as I didn''t believe the information, in front of me.

 Chapter 75 Its Just The Beginning

    I stood dumbfounded.


    "The armor... S-rank armor is just F-rank?..."


    My mind was chaotic. I didn''t even realize that the big goblin wasing at me. When I realize, it was toote as it swung its hammer at me. But...


    <Sytem... Updated>


    A notification suddenly changed everything.


    Fwoosh!


    The whole time stopped. It wasn''t just my imagination, the whole status window changed. Everything turned upside down and finally after god-know what time, it finish.

    [Ding! Main Quest has been added...]


    [Main Quest, a chain of random quests that has the objective of learning the truth of the world.]


    [Ding! The Power System has been added.]


    A series of notifications, messages, and windows nked my mind. I don''t know, what was happening as I was standing still without even knowing my situation.


    The sudden stop in time, the sudden teleportation to this ce, and this parade of unknown things happening to me made me mad.


    I slowly and calmly took a long breathe and calm myself.


    "Being impatience won''t do anything good..."


    I first clicked on the power system and a list appeared, showing me the power system.


    *Power System


    (The number 1 is the lowest and the end number is the highest rank)


    1. Alphabet-Rank (F---SSS)


    2. Spirit-Rank


    3. Soul-Rank


    4. Sky-Rank


    5. Universe-Rank


    6. Heavenly Rank


    7. God-Rank


    (Expect of Alphabet, every other rank is one stage.)


    "Pardon..."


    I stared at the manual with wide eyes. I took a deep breath and again tried to understand but I didn''t get anything.


    "System Exin..."


    Imand the system to exin this god damn manual.


    ...


    ...


    ....


    After a whole 5 minutes or so of silence, a screen finally appeared.


    The power system not only measures power, it also measures the power of the creatures. The most powerful known creature on this earth is ''SSS-rank''. And thest thing, the host should know, humans or the most intelligent animal on any isn''t stronger than the monsters. This topic would be given to the host after thepletion of a certain ''main quest''.>


    The moment I heard this it made me dizzy.


    "World,s, Powers?...."


    I sat on the ground and thought. I put my hand on my head and sighed deeply.


    "Now, what should I do?"


    <Host shouldplete the main quest and be strong.>


    The window appeared it to answer my question. From this, I understood that the system couldmunicate with me.


    So, I just sighed and equipped my A-rank equipment set and A-rank weapon set from the inventory.<novelnext></novelnext>


    [A-rank equipment: Invisible Armor, Chaotic Magic Ring, Rare Wizard Ring, and Whole-body suit equipped.]


    [Increased defense by 200, Vitality by 250, Magic by 200, Strength by 150, and speed by 50. Magic casting time decreased to 0 and magic can be used consecutively.]


    [A-rank weapons: Dual wind de equipped.]


    <The system will now send the user back to the dungeon.>


    I returned back to the time. The time when the goblin was going to struck me with its hammer.


    nk!


    I blocked its hammer with my de. The goblin which was smiling as it thought I lost, was now in a state of chaos. Its eyes were wide open and its jaw dropped and its body was trembling.


    It was scared of me. My new suit, which covered my body was releasing a dark aura. I smiled as I charged towards it.


    nk! nk!


    With a shaking hand, the goblin barely dodged my attacks. Its expression became grimed and its whole body was shaking. It jumped back and create some distance between us and looked here and there, probably looking for a way to escape.


    But, I charged at him with my full speed which was 2 times faster than before. I quickly reached in front of it and stabbed its chest.


    Squeak!


    The goblin screamed in pain. I looked at the monster with an evil grin on my face.


    The goblin''s eyes were full of despair. It looked at me with a pained expression. I smiled at it and...


    Slice!


    I separated its head from its body.


    [Ding! Congrattions on defeating the boss.]

    [Rewards Received: 15,000 exp, +10 all stats, D-rank skill ''Fiery Sword''.]


    Congrattion...


    Many notifications appeared before me but I didn''t care as I moved towards the teleportation circle.


    ''Now, I finally get it. Bing strong isn''t hard. I just have to get any chance to be strong''


    I smiled.


    ''It''s just the beginning...''


    [From now on, the view will be a third-person one.]


    ========================


    n returned to the real world after defeating the dungeon with a key.


    [Permanent Dungeon Key: Can enter and defeat monsters in ''The Goblin Camp'' dungeon anytime.]


    Heid on the bed. His eyes were cold. He had an evil smile on his face and he raised his hands andmand.


    "Activate auto function..."


    [Auto function activated. Deducting 2 G-coins per second.]


    n smiled looking at the screen. If others would know that, he is using 2 G-coins per second then they would go crazy.


    But for n, it wasn''t even worth it. He then went outside to breathe fresh air. He walked around the street and saw huge crowds.


    Many peoples were shouting carrying stones in their hands. It was as if they were going to kill someone. Their eyes were full of rage and they were yelling at someone.


    n quickly headed to the crowd and looked. The moment, he saw that his blood boiled. He saw a small 9 years old child getting hit by the stones.


    "Monster! This girl is a monster"


    "Yeah, kill her."


    "Yeah, if she lives then we would all die!"


    Many peoples were calling her monsters. n, who saw that couldn''t control his rage. He clenched his fist.


    He started to hallucinate.


    "This child is useless..."


    "Yes, let''s kick him out."


    "Haha, we shall experiment with you."


    Many voices filled his ears. He saw his small version, whose face was full of despair.


    "No no... please leave me."


    He begged for them to leave him. The experiment made him suffer so much.


    "Hahaha..." The mad scientistughed at him and dragged him with them.


    "No... Nooooooooo!!''


    He got out of his hallucination and saw himself in the girl. The girl murmured. "Please, stop. someone saves me." Her eyes were full of tears. Her face was full of despair and the experience traumatized her. Her clothes were tattered and many bruises were on her hand, legs, face.


    Her situation was too sad but people expect of helping her, they were hitting her with stones.


    n, stare at her. He saw his weak version of her. The same helpless kid, getting bullied by the big guys.


    He stare at the people and murmured. "Adults, they are evil. Always thinking of themselves..." The chain which binds him got broken.


    And the killing intent filled the air. He didn''t care about humans. He just thought to take revenge on the mad scientist but the scene made him realize. "No matter where you go, bad peoples are everywhere."


    And he quickly steps forward. He wasn''t a good nor kind guy. But her situation was just like him, so without caring about justice nor other things, he blocked the stones with his barrier.


    "Huh?..." The kid looked at him with wide eyes. She rxed a little but still was trembling.


    "Hey, you kid. Why are you saving that mons-"


    Slice!


    Before even getting to finish his sentence, his head flew. n killed the guy without thinking, He looked at other bystanders who were holding stones and...


    "Fireball, Wind sh, Tornado, Pir of swords..."


    He cast his skill. And just a second after, the whole ce became a blood bath. His tornado tore every person apart the moment it touched them. His fireball burned everyone that got caught and the pir of swords stabbed every individual who was far.


    And with that, he immediately killed 100 people.


    "Aaaaaahhhhh!!"

 Chapter 76 Mass Murder

    "No, please don''t kill me..."


    "Help!"


    Many people started to shout, running here and there. But they couldn''t run too much as they also got killed. And the area with probably 1000 people became empty.


    After some minutes, 1,000 hunters arrived at the scene with 100 guards. They looked at the boy in front of them.


    The boy in front of them aka n wasughing. His whole body was covered with blood and the kid behind her fainted to see that much blood everywhere.


    The soldier looked at the surrounding. Dead peoples lying everywhere. Many peoples were burned, while some had no head, some lower body was missing while someone was lying on their own blood.


    The whole situation was messed up. In only a matter of a second, the lively ce got turned into hell just because of a single child.


    The hunters walked toward him, wielding their weapons and pointing at n. But before they even get to say a thing, n stood and charged at them with his sword.


    Slice! Stab!


    He quickly killed two hunters. Other hunters eyes got widen, some guards tremble. They stare at n and attacked immediately without a second thought.


    But n didn''t move. He took the attack head-on. His equipment was C-rank system equipment which could probably be even stronger than an SS-rank armor of this world.


    nk! nk!


    The attack didn''t even scratch n''s armor. And he killed 5 hunters. Other hunters cast skills but the skill also couldn''t put a scratch on the armor.


    And just after a minute, all the hunters that came to catch n died. But right after that moment, a guy with an expensive S-rank armor sprinted toward the scene.


    He was an S-rank hunter. When n saw that hunter, he smiled. He wanted to check whether he can defeat the S-rank guy or not.


    The S-rank guy widen in surprise as he saw the area. He frowned. His blood boiled and he charged at n without giving a second thought.


    n, on the other hand, was smiling evilly. He also charged at the S-rank guy.


    nk! nk! nk!


    They both fought. But n was at disadvantage. If it wasn''t for his armor then he would have got many injuries in his body. He stepped back and cast his new skill.


    "Energy st... Fiery Sword."


    A huge ball of energy floated around n and attacked the S-rank guy. The S-rank guy stared at the energy ball and cast.


    "Water ball"


    And a ball of water 2 times bigger than the energy ball formed around the palm of the S-rank and he threw that at the energy ball.


    Bang!


    Both skills sted and disappear in the surroundings while n took out his A-rank sword which rank is clearly not known in this world.


    The skill ''Fiery sword'' put mes on the A-rank sword and he charged wielding that. The S-rank also wielded his sword and charged at n.


    nk! Bang!


    Both fought with swords destroying everything that was on their way. n put many scratches on the S-rank armor while the S-rank man couldn''t even put a little scratch on n''s armor. And after some minutes of fighting, n destroyed the S-rank armor and...


    Slice!


    He separated the head of the S-rank guy. The S-rank guy fell and n sat on the ground, catching his breath andughing.


    "Hahaha... I should now destroy every dungeon of this town and move to the next one..." He looked at the fainted girl and walked near her and carried her in his arm and returned to the hotel.


    Before returning, he had changed his clothes and armor and cleaned all of the blood from his body, so no one will know that he had killed many people.


    In an office building, a girl was running. She kicked the door open and entered and shouted.


    "Cheif!!!!"


    The middle-aged man, who was sitting rxingly in his expensive chair, stood with a shocked face.


    "What happened?" The man said with an annoyed face.


    "We have a report in Novice-Hunter City. Nearly 2000 or more people have reported death there." The girl said with a calm expression.


    "What?!" The old man''s eyes widen and his jaw drops. His face had many expressions expressed.


    "Yes, we need to move now." The girl said and left the room.


    The old man sighed and also left the room. He came downward, which was a lobby. 5 men and 2 women with the girl that recently left the room also were there.


    In total, 5 men were standing and talking with each other while 3 females were sitting on the sofa and were using their mobile phones.


    "Ahem!"


    The sudden sound made all the members to stood and look at the source of the voice.


    The chief looked at them and spoke.


    "We have got a mass murder in Novice Hunter city. We need to investigate that." The chief said with a serious expression.


    "Ok." The members were already notified of the murder by the girl.


    All the members left the lobby and changed their clothes and returned. Their clothes were like the defense suits of hunters, but more advanced.


    The chief also changed into a red-colored advanced suit. He also returned to the lobby.


    "All ready?" The chief asked


    "Yes!"


    The members answered and left the building.


    *************


    n looked at the girl that was sleeping soundly on the bed. He carried her here by putting her in the storage ring.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Hmm!!" The girl stood and stretched her head and looked around.


    "huh?" She became confused as she saw unfamiliar walls and an unfamiliar boy.


    "You finally woke up." n said.


    The girl stared at n until her mind became clear and she finally remembered everything. Tears flowed from her eyes. Her shoulder started to shake.


    n looked at her and hugged her as he remembered his mom hugging him every time whenever he cried.


    "Waaa! Waaa! Waaa!" She loudly cried.


    After some time the girl stopped crying and sat on the bed. n gave her some food to eat.


    She ate her food hurriedly, like she hadn''t eaten anything for a long time. After eating everything, she spoke.


    "T-Th...Thanks for the f-food..." She nervously said that.


    "So what happened?" n asked her with a straight face without considering her feeling.


    "I-I..." She was hesitant.


    "It''s ok if you don''t want to talk." n said and patted her head.


    "So, what''s your name?"


    "I... am Li... Lina." The girl looked around.


    "Ok, I am n."


    "Thanks... for... hel-helping me, big brother."


    "Don''t worry about it." n smiled at her, but his smile was awkward. It was stiffed.


    "he he he..." Lina chuckled as she saw his face.


    n stopped smiling and sat beside her.


    "So, what do you want to do?"


    "I don''t know," Lina said in a low voice.


    "Hmm!" n looked at her and checked her stats. His system could check anyone''s stats.


    <Lina>


    [Level: 1]


    [Exp: 0/100]


    [Rank: F]


    [Blessing: Blessing of Kratos]


    <Stats>


    [Strength: 10 (+1)]


    [Vitality: 10]


    [Magic: 6]


    <Skills: Rookie Cooking (2),>


    <G-coins: 0>


    He looked at her stats and spoke.


    "You are also a yer?" n knew but decided to ask her first.


    "Yes... I awakened my power at the age of 8" she whispered.


    "Huh?..." n''s eyes widen. He stared at her.


    Most awaken power at the age of 12. And the earliest recorded awaken child was at age 10. There was no child awaken power at the age of 8 in the entire history.


    But, he also noticed the blessing. He didn''t know if having a blessing was rare or not, but he clearly hadn''t one. So, he guesses she is a special child. He checked her blessings and skills.


    [Blessing of Kratos: Kratos, a divine personification of strength. He has given his blessing to this child. Her strength will increase 2 times when she levels up.]


    [Rookie Cooking: A skill that helps one to cook food. Can cook easy-to-cook or simple foods.]


    ''Hmmm, I should train her.'' n thought while looking at the girl. He smiled evilly.


    "You should take a bath. I will order some clothes for you." n said and looked at his hollow watch.


    "ok..." She said and walked inside the bathroom. The bathroom was inside the room, so, it wasn''t hard to find.


    She went inside and removed her clothes and put them in the basket. She then took a shower and sat in the bathtub that was filled with water and rxed on her shoulder.


    n ordered some clothes for her. He ordered clothes that were tagged age 9 or 10 on the clothes. He just guessed her age as she looked like some 9 to 10-year-old child. But he doesn''t know her actual age.


    Ring!


    The doorbell rang and n opened the door and took the courier. The delivery speed is fast as one normal thing could be delivered in 2 to 3 minutes if the store is nearby. And most deliveries are done by small robots, whose speeds are even greater than Rank B yers.


    He then put the clothes in the basket and returned to the bedroom. Lina finished bathing and wore the clothes and returned to the bedroom being a little nervous.


    "Hmm!" n looked at her. He was relieved as the clothes fit her. She was looking cute in those clothes.


    The clothes were a one-piece pink frilly dress. It has some cute designs on it which match her cute childish face. And her greenish eyes and ck hair perfectly suit her.

 Chapter 77 Hidden Player

    She looked like and small angel. But n didn''t care and spoke.


    "How old are you actually?" He decided to ask about her age as it was also important. If he wanted to train her, then her age should at least be 11 or 12 As a child couldn''t handle killing any monster.


    "I am... 12 years old." She wasn''t fully rxed, but she was a little relieved now.


    "Huh?" n tilted her head.


    "What?.." Lina also became confused.


    "I ordered the dress of a 9-year-old girl." n said with a straight face.


    "It''s ok... It''s fit... mepletely." Lina said with a wry smile.


    And n decided to make her stronger.


    "Hmm! What do you think, Shina?" Chief, who looked at the hell in front of him, said that.


    "This is probably done by an A-rank yer." Shina said with a calm face, examining the situation.


    In front of them had a pile of corpses. This mess was made up by n, who was mad at humanity. He couldn''t control his rage and killed all of the people, innocent or not.


    "Chief, everyone here is dead." One young guy said that.


    "Hm. Kane, go and ask some people who live nearby." The chief''s voice was serious.


    "Ok." Kane spirited.


    "This is the third time." Shina, who was looking at the corpse, said.


    "Yes. It was just one week before thest mass murder urred." Chief said while praying for the dead.


    "Hidden yers... I will make sure to find you." Sina said with a hint of angriness on her face.


    "Chief, I know about yers but who are these hidden yers and why doesn''t; public know them?" One guy, whose age was 18, said while looking at the destroyed markets.


    "This will be long. Call all of the new recruits. I will tell all of you in one go." The chief said in a rough voice, his tone was serious.


    "Ok." The guy used his hollow watch and called all of the members.


    All of the members who were at the scene immediately came. They stood and whispered to each other. There was 10 soldiers.


    "Ahem!" The chief''s voice made all of the soldiers look in front.


    "Ok. As you know, this situation is pretty messed up. This is not the first time, this happened. In just one month 2 other cases were also reported."


    The soldier started to whisper, as they heard that.


    One of the young guys from the crowd raised his hand and spoke.


    "Chief, why were those incidents didn''t reported on tv?"


    "The reason is long. I will tell you all about it, so make sure to listen attentively."


    All the soldier straightened their back and stared at the chief.


    "Ok. These incidents are done by hidden yers. Hidden yers, as the name suggests they are the group of people who are awakened but don''t reveal their power. Hidden yers are quite troublesome. The first case of hidden yer appeared 5 years ago. It was the case of robbery. " The chief caught his breath and looked at the soldiers, who were listening attentively.


    "The robber was caught but he was awakened. He wasn''t registered in our database. As you know, those who have awakened are generally part of any organization, guild, or party. And when they register or sell any monster material, their identity as yers is revealed and is registered in our database...


    And those yers who aren''t registered in our database are hidden yers. Hidden yers can be a single person, a party, and even a whole organization. But we don''t have much info about them. And these hidden yers love to wreak havoc..." The chief again caught his breath.


    "Also,st month an incident of mass murder was registered. Almost 500 people were killed. And that incident was going to be reported on tv and other media but our government took action and stopped it. Why? If you ask then, it was to calm the people. If people know that there are hidden yers then they could get wary of their surrounding people including their neighbors.


    So to maintain peace we have to do that. So, do you understand everything?"


    After the chief stopped speaking, every soldier nodded their head and whispered to themselves.


    "Also, this incident could also be caused by a hidden yer as we don''t know the culprit. And this incident has more victims than the previous one. A total of 2000 people are reported dead."


    The chief words made all of the soldiers shocked.


    "Now, go and search and report any clues you find."


    "Ok." All of the soldiers left the ground with determined faces.


    ***************


    n was staring at the girl, who was sleeping soundly. She was none other than Lina. She had a rxed and calm face.


    Yesterday, in the middle of the day, he killed many people just because of her. But he didn''t care about that. He took care of her, ordered her clothes, and gave her food. Andst night,...


    "I am going to book another room, you can sleep here." n said while opening the door.


    "Why... do you want to... change room?" The girl nervously asked. She wasn''t totally rxed yet.


    "Because here''s only one bed." n said while pointing at the bed.


    "But we can... sleep... toge... together!"


    "Are you ok with that?" n asked.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Yes... I will be able to... rx if you were here." The girl said in a low voice.


    "Ok, then." n nodded andid on the bed.


    The girl nervouslyid on the bed. n looked at her and spoke.


    "Good night."


    "Good night..." The girl replied and slept.


    They both fell asleep.


    Next morning...


    "Hmm." n woke up but couldn''t stand.


    "Huh?" He looked at his side and found Lina clinging to him. She had her arm wrapped around his chest and her legs on top of his knees.


    He was stuck. He looked at her calm and rxed face.


    ''She is pretty cute.'' This thought came to his mind as he remembered his past. He also wrapped his hand around his father''s chest and fell asleep. And when he woke up, he saw his father looking at him with a smile on his face.


    This scene made his chest ache a bit, but he ignored it and looked at her with a warm smile. This smile was natural and not stiff. His smile made him look gentle.


    If any girl would have seen that smile, then they would have fallen in love instantly with n. But s, there was no one. And the person to whom this smile was directed was fast asleep.


    "Hmm." Lina slowly opened her eyes and looked at n.


    "Huh?..."


    ....


    "Hyaaaaaaa...." Her shout echoed throughout the room.


    "I am very sorry." Lina said while bowing her head.


    "It''s ok. " n said indifferently.


    Two minutes ago, Lina woke up, seeing n, which surprised her and caused her to yell. But thanks to the soundproof wall, her voice didn''t travel outside and cause amotion.


    n stood and took a bath while Lina was sitting washing her face. After n took the bath, Lina went inside the bathroom and took a bath.


    After taking a bath, they both eat the food sent by the hotel. n had already notified the hotel to bring extra food, so they had enough food to eat.


    "Thanks for the food." Lina put her spoon down and prayed while n didn''t even care and took the tes and put them outside.


    A mini robot came to pick up the te. n went inside and spoke.


    "We are going to train today!" His voice was lifeless. It didn''t have any emotions in it.


    "Ok. " Lina agreed, she didn''t have any choice but to ept it.


    n clicked on the dungeon system.


    <Dungeon Function>


    [F-rank Dungeon... Click here to enter.]


    [E-rank Dungeon... Click here to enter.]


    "E-rank dungeon. " He looked at the E-rank dungeon button but decided not to enter now.


    He held the hand of Lina before clicking the enter button.


    "Hyaa. " She let out a shrill voice when n held her hand, suddenly. But after a second, she also held the hand and nodded.


    n didn''t care and clicked the enter button.


    [Entering the Dungeon....]


    [Ding! A new person has joined you in the dungeon... Party system has been activated.]


    [Party system: A system that lets party members share exp and loot. Party leaders have the right to handle the distribution of loot, but exp is automatically shared and can''t be changed.]


    [Party System]


    1. n (Leader)


    2. Lina (Member)


    n stared at the screen until the light covered his vision. Lina tightly held the hand. The sudden light made her scared.


    Swoosh!


    A gentle wind touched his face, which led him to open his eyes. n looked at the surrounding, area, which was the same. Nothing was different from thest time, he visited and nearly lost his life.


    Lina, on the other hand, was clinging to n''s clothes. Her eyes were full of despair as she saw one goblin ahead.


    Her hands were shaking and she spoke in a low voice.

 Chapter 78 Fighting No... Its One Sided Battle

    "There''s a... monster there."


    "Hmm!! Here wear this..." n took out Rank C equipment set from his inventory and tossed it to her. She gently caught it and stared at it.


    "Wear this and get ready. I will deal with that." n ran toward the goblin without wasting a breath.


    He took out his weapon and...


    Slice!


    Without even knowing what happened, the goblin fell to the floor. Lina was dumbfounded. She stared at n.


    "I said get ready!" n raised his voice a little bit. It made her jump. She quickly wore the equipment. The equipment of hunters adapts its size to the size of the hunter. So, even if a 12-year-old girl was wearing the equipment, itpletely fit her.


    But the equipment was made for a boy, so it made her look a little odd. She wielded the sword that was on the equipment and looked at n, waiting for him to say something.


    "Hmm... Let''s go." n didn''t bother to exin anything and walked. Lina, who didn''t even understand why she was here and why she was wearing armor and wielding a sword, followed him.


    Just after walking for a minute, they encountered three goblins. n immediately ran and killed 2 goblins and captured one. He created a magic barrier that was 15 sq m long.


    "Now, Fight with the monster." n''s voice was serious. His eyes didn''t emit any emotion and were cold.


    ''B-B-B-But... Can I... def-defeat it?" Lina''s voice was shaking. Her whole body was trembling and her hands were shaking.


    "This is a test. Either you will survive or you will die here... If you can''t defeat this monster then you will be no use of me." n''s voice was cold as ice, which froze Lina.


    Her body stiffened and she froze in the ce. Small drops of tears fell from her eyes. If anyone would have looked at the situation then they would have totally said that he was torturing the girl.


    n released the monster. He was capturing it in a small magic barrier. He could cast multiple magic barriers as long as he had mana.


    Squeak!


    The goblin was also scared of n. He had seen him killing his kin without any problem. But when he saw the little girl, his fear disappeared, and it let out a voice, which was like it wasughing.


    It rushed toward the girl with its dragger.


    ng!


    The dragger hit the armor, but it didn''t even leave any scratch on it. Goblins are intelligent, not intelligent as humans. It immediately looked at the head of Lina, which was left open without any helmet or other thing covering it.


    That was her vital and weak point.


    Squeak!


    The goblin again rushed, aiming at her head. Lina stood dumbfounded. She slowly raised her sword and...


    Cling!


    It collided with the dragger. The goblin gasped. It immediately stepped back. But Lina immediately rushed toward the goblin and swung her sword.


    The goblin dodged it easily and threw its dragger at her head. She closed her eyes and put her sword near her face.


    Out of luck or reflex, the sword hit the dragger and she didn''t get any injuries.


    "Huh?..." She looked at the dagger, which was on her feet. Without wasting a second, she immediately rushed to the goblin.


    The goblin was stunned that its attack had been missed. But, it wasn''t a miracle. n was protecting her. He protected Lina by using a small magic barrier casting near her face.


    Lina swung her sword again, hoping to hit the goblin, but the goblin''s speed was fast. It dodged it easily. But Lina didn''t stop. She again rushed down, closed her eyes, and swung the sword with all of her strength.


    Slice!


    The goblin got sliced in two. Lina, who felt her sword hit something opened her eyes just to see the goblin, whose upper and lower body parts were separated. Her eyes widen, her hands were shaking, and she vomited.


    The scene made her so disgusted that she let out everything she had eaten this morning.


    [Congrattions, your party member has leveled up.]


    [Congrattion, your party member has leveled up.]


    [Congrattion, your party got rewarded.]


    [Received: Life Card]


    n ignored the notification and looked at the situation. He walked toward her and gently patted her shoulder.


    "Are you alright?"


    "Y-yes. I am alright... somehow." She let out a dryugh. But she was still trembling. Her hands were shaking and a single drop of tear fell on the ground.


    "If you just get sick after killing a single monster then it would be quite a problem."


    "Huh?" Lina tilted her head.


    "Because...


    This training has just begun..."


    ng! ng! ng!


    Sounds of swords colliding with each other could be heard clearly.


    Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!


    Three goblins desperately hitting their dragger at Lina''s. But the dragger collided with armor and couldn''t even scratch it.


    They also tried to hit Lina''s head but she always dodge or blocked it. And so, the battle continued for 1 hour straight.


    "Ha! Ha! Ha!" Lina desperately catch her breath and swung her sword at the goblin.


    ng!


    It collided with the goblin''s dragger. The goblin stepped back. It sprinted to run away but...


    Bang!


    The barrier blocked its exit. n, looked at Lina while sitting on the ground. He was watching Lina like he was watching an interesting TV show. The only difference there was that he had no popcorn.


    Puk!


    Lina finally stabbed the goblin''s chest. It could barely move due to exhaustion which caused it to get stabbed.


    Another goblin fell on the ground due to exhaustion. Lina quickly ran toward it and cut its head.


    Thest remaining goblin trembled. Its eyes widened and its hands were shaking. It looked around to find an exit but s, there was none.


    Slice!


    It also got killed by Liina. The moment she killed all of the goblins, she fell on the ground exhausted with a bright smile on her face.<novelnext></novelnext>


    n removed the barrier and walked toward her. Lina looked at n.


    "Did I pass... the test?" Her voice was little shaking.


    "Yes." He patted her head with a smile.


    "Yay!" She raised her hands midair andid on the ground. Her face was rxed, she had a small smile on her face and she slowly closed her eyes.


    n stared at her for a minute and put her in his storage ring. He then sprinted toward the boss room.


    Before entering the room, n checked the reward he got from leveling up Lina.

    n''s eyes widened. He smiled looking at the box and entered the room. The moment he entered, the door behind him closed and a sign appeared.


    He ignored it as he knew about it and ran straight to the boos throne. He immediately saw a big goblin sittingzily at the seat. The moment, the big goblin looked at n, it stood and took its big hammer.


    n smiled evilly. "We meet again!" He said that and ran straight to the big goblin. He wielded his dual wind de and pointed at the big goblin.


    "Fiery Sword..."


    His sword got lit with fire. The fire was much stronger than normal fire and he immediately swung his sword at the big goblin.


    ng!


    The big goblin blocked the attack with its hammer. But it couldn''t hold it for longer, the big hammer was made up of iron, so the hammer also got heated by the burning sword.


    ng! ng! ng!


    n again swung his sword at the goblin and the goblin desperately tried to block it. He attacked the goblin for 1 minute and...


    "Quick Speed, Charge"


    Swoosh!


    He immediately got behind the big goblin and...


    Puk!


    The sword got stabbed behind its back.


    Squeak!


    The big goblin cried in pain and retreated to the corner. n smiled evilly looking at the state of the big goblin.


    He again charged to the goblin and attack it with his sword.


    ng! ng! ng!


    The big goblin barely blocked his attack.


    "Energy st."


    n activated his other skill and a huge ball of energy floated around n. He threw the energy ball at the big goblin...


    Boom!


    And the energy ball sted, burning half of the skin of the big goblin. The goblin roared in pain. He furiously attacked n but n was fast enough to dodge every attack.


    The fight now couldn''t even be called a fight. It was a one-sided battle. n could kill the goblin anytime but it was toying with it.


    And after a minute of dodging the attack of a big goblin, n quickly jumped and cast...


    "Fireball... Energy st... Tornado... Wind sh..."


    Different skill attacked the big goblin but it somehow blocked it but got seriously injured. n immediately swung his sword the moment he got close to the goblin.


    Slice!


    The big goblin''s head flew and hit the wall. The headless body moved for 5 seconds and fell on the ground.


    [Congration on defeating the dungeon.]


    [Returing the yer to the real word...]


    A big light shed and n got transported to the hotel room. He took out Lina from his storage ring andid her on the bed.


    "I should go now..."


    He exit the hotel and walked to the market.


    ***********************


    At the messed up market...


    "Cheif... We have found camera footage. It is the only one which could be yed!" Kane was running while holding a USB stick.


    "Oh! What happened to other cameras?" The chief took the USB drive and put it on hisptop.


    "Other cameras were destroyed and its data couldn''t be taken out. And this was the only footage we could found." Kane said with an excited face. He was excited to know about the yer who caused this havoc.


    He was also angry at him but he wanted to know the strength of that guy.


    "Hmm... Ok. It''s all set. Shina,e here." Cheif called Shina and yed the footage.


    They saw a big crowd with many people throwing rocks at a small girl. The moment they saw that... Shina''s eyes lit with anger and Kane was furious. But the chief was watching the footage with an emotionless face.


    "Chief... Isn''t it-"


    "Shut up and watch the footage!" Before Kane could finish his sentence, the chief yelled at him.


    "Ok." Kane quietly said that.


    "She is the daughter of..." The chief looked at the girl in the footage.


    "Daughter of whom?" Shina asked immediately.


    "The daughter of the most wanted hidden yers...


    The darkness Crew."

 Chapter 79 Perfect Weapon

    n walked inside the Hunter''s Guild and entered Weapon Store.


    A woman in her thirties came to greet n with a cheerful smile.


    "Wee, sir. What do you want today?"


    "I want Gauntlet. Bring every Gauntlet you have here." n said with an emotionless face.


    "Ok." She ran to the storeroom and brought at least 30 Gaunletels and put those Gauntlet in the table. n scanned with his Appraisal ability and picked two Gauntlet.


    <Fake Infinity Gauntlet>


    [Grade: C-rank]


    [Effect: Absorb any attack and return twofold. Only absorbs physical attacks.]


    [History: Infinity Gauntlet has forged thousands of years ago to hold the power of universe stones. One of the best cksmiths used real Infinity Gauntlet as a reference to make this fake one. This holds 1/1000 of the real Infinity Gauntlet power.]


    <Fake Nemean Cestus>


    [Grade: C-rank]


    [Effect: Increase the physical damage by 2 times.]


    [History: Nemean Cestus is a mythical weapon held by Hercules. One of the best cksmiths used the real Nemean Cestus as a reference to make this fake one. Holds 1/100 of the real Nemean Cestus power.]


    "This is good. I want to buy these." n said to the woman and gave his card to her.


    She immediately scanned the card and returned it to him.


    "Please do business with us again." She said to n but he ignored it and walked outside.


    He walked to the hotel and opened his door.


    "Wee home." Lina came to him and greet him.


    "Ok." n walked inside and gave the weapon to Lina.


    "Wear these." n walked to the bathroom.


    "Ok," Lina murmured and wore those Gauntlets.


    n returned after washing his face and looked at her.


    The Gauntlet fit her perfectly. Infinity Gauntlet was like gloves but made up of metal with one small hole in the middle.


    Nemean Cestus GauntIet had the appearance of a roaring, silverish gold lion, with ck on the sides.


    The two Gauntlet covered up to her wrist. She was smiling staring at the Gauntlet. n walked andid on the bed. He ordered some food.


    Lina faced n. "Thank you... very much for these." Her voice was full of gratitude.


    "Ok." n nodded and the food arrived.


    And they both ate the food and again left for the dungeon. After transporting to the dungeon, n said.


    "I will not make any barrier this time. You have to fight them without any advantage."


    "Ok." Lina quietly said that and walked.


    n followed her. They didn''t talk. After walking for some minute with a heavy silence, they finally encountered a group of goblins.


    Five goblins were surveying the area. n stopped and said.


    "Go and fight them."


    "OK!" Lina sprinted toward the goblins and swung her Gauntlets.


    Bang!


    One goblin got hit and flew to the wall. It fell down and stopped moving indicating it died.


    Other goblins immediately took their fighting stance and attacked Lina. Lina blocked the attack and hit them with her Gauntlets.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Because she had leveled up previously, her speed was much faster. And with her Gauntlet, she didn''t waste her energy.


    She quickly dealt with them without getting any scratches on her. She looked at n and smiled.


    "Did I be stronger?"


    "Yes. You have be a little stronger thanst time."


    Puk!


    n threw his sword at Lina and stabbed the goblin which was going to attack her from behind.


    "Hyaaa!" She stepped sideward the moment she saw the sword. She looked beside her and saw the goblin.


    "You have still a long way to go." n remarked hurt Lina. She became a little dejected. Her eyes got lit with motivation.


    "I will definitely catch up with you!" She shouted at n and sprinted ahead.


    n quickly catches up with her.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    She killed every goblin with a single punch. Her strength was terrifying. Even n was little surprised to see her strength.


    He immediately checked her status.

    <Items: None>


    He realized that her strength is even more than his. Her Gauntlet increased her strength by 2 times making it 128.


    He realized that the Blessing of Kratos was even greater than he imagined. He smiled and headed to the boss room with Lina.


    "Now you will defeat the boss monster yourself." n''s eyes were full of excitement.


    "Can... I really... defeat... the boss?" She was a little terrified to face the boss monster.


    "It''s ok. I believe in you."


    "Ok!"


    Lina got full of motivation. This was the first time n trust her. They both entered the boss room and headed to the throne.


    Lina eyes widen and her hands shook. She stares at the boss monster who is 3 times bigger than her.


    She immediately took her fighting stance. The big goblin also stood with his big hammer and rushed toward Lina.


    The big goblin strike its hammer at Lina and she punched the hammer.


    Bang!


    n who was watching the fight looked at Lina. His eyes widen.


    "She could already beat me in strength." n murmured to himself.


    Lina who punched the hammer didn''t receive any damage but the hammer got shattered. The big goblin was petrified to see its hammer shattering into pieces.


    Lina immediately punched the big goblin and flew it to the wall.


    The big goblin stood up. It got a little injured. It murmured to himself and his whole body glowed in red.


    It put his hand on its knee and took a shape of a ball and rolled toward Lina at full speed. But Lina didn''t flinch, she faced the big goblin head-on and punched it.


    Bang!


    She got thrown 2 meters away but the big goblin got thrown at the wall again and coughed a lot of blood.


    It eyes were full of despair. Its hand shook and it tried to run. It already realized that Lina is much stronger than it.


    Lina immediately stood and rushed toward the big goblin and punched at the goblin hea with her full strength.


    Crack! Boom!


    The goblin''s head got shattered in pieces. The pieces of the head fell to the ground. Lina staggered and was about to fall on the ground.


    But n caught her.


    [Congrualtion. Your party member has beat the dungeon boss.]


    [Rewards received: Random level skill ¡Á2]


    n didn''t care about the prize and looked at Lina. They immediately got transported to the hotel room.


    Five Hours Later-


    Lina woke up from her deep slumber. She looked around and saw n taking out monsters cores from his inventory.


    "Good morning." n said to her without even looking at her.


    "What are you doing?" Lina stood from the bed and walked towards n.


    "Wait and see." n didn''t tell her and just took more cores from his inventory.


    He took out more than 1000 cores from his inventory. After taking out every monster core from his inventory, he looked at Lina.


    "Do you know the reason why you copsed while fighting?"


    "I don''t know." She sat on the ground beside n.


    "You used more strength than your body could hold."


    "What?" Lina tilted her head.


    "Your body is weak but your strength is great. You exerted your muscle way too much until you passed out. If you don''t refine your body and make it stronger then you can''t use the gauntlet."


    n said without hesitation in his eyes.


    "How do I refine my body?" Lina asked immediately.


    "By absorbing these cores." n pointed out the small round objects which are literally cores.


    "Huh...? How do I absorb it?" Lina took one core in her hand and stare at it.


    "I will show you. But I am going to absorb way too much and will take almost 1 to 2 hours. And if bloodes out from my mouth then feed me this pill immediately." He gave the healing pill to her.


    "Ok?" She took the pill with confusion in her hand.


    Cores are generally stones that are filled with energies. Absorbing cores increases our defense, strength, vitality, and magic. But each stats have their own special cores.


    And n is going to absorb all of the cores at one time which is very dangerous. Absorbing cores requires caution. A single mistake could cost your life. Absorbing cores equal taking a huge amount of energy and using it to refine our body.


    A single mistake and the energy will st out from your body. This happens when one absorbs more than 10 cores or different types of cores at a single time like n is going to do.


    So if someone is going to absorb many cores at once, they need a person who can help them at a critical time. That''s why n didn''t absorb his cores previously.


    n changed his sitting posture into a meditation posture. He leaked some of his mana and the mana touched the cores.

 Chapter 80 Becoming More Stronger

    The moment the mana touched the cores, mana immediately sucked its energy. A huge amount of energy got transmitted into n''s body.


    But Lina couldn''t see anything. Energies don''t have any color and could only be felt. n kept sucking the core''s power.


    1 hour... 2 hours... 4 hours... 6 hours-


    6 hours passed and n sucked more than 1000 cores energies. A notification suddenly popped in front of him startling him. A mechanical voice read out the notification.


    <You have absorbed the maximum amount of cores for rank E. More consumption will cause the energy to overflow and st the host body into pieces,>


    The moment n heard the info, he stopped absorbing and opened his eyes. He saw Lina sitting on the bed, casually eating a pizza.


    n frowned looking at Lina but soon ignored her.


    ''I have absorbed more cores than an E-ranked yer could absorb.'' n thought and stood.


    A certain rank of yers could only absorb a certain amount of cores. Lina looked at n and immediately stops eating and walked in front of him.


    But n ignored her and write something on a paper with his mana. The writings were blue in color.


    [yer Ranks and the number of cores they could absorb.]


    [F-rank... 100 F-cores, 50 E-cores, 10 D-cores, 1 C-core]


    [E-rank.... 1,000 F-cores, 100 E-cores, 50 D-cores, 10 C-cores, 1 B-core]


    [D-rank... 10,000 F-cores, 1,000 E-cores, 100 D-cores, 50 C-cores, 10 B-cores, 1 A-core]


    [C-rank... 100,000 F-cores, 10,000 E-cores, 1,000 D-cores, 100 C-cores, 50 B-cores, 10 A-cores, 1 S-core]


    [B-rank... 1,000,000 F-cores, 100,000 E-cores, 10,000 D-cores, 1,000 C-cores, 100 B-cores, 50 A-core, 10 S-core, 1 SS-core]


    [A-rank... 10,000,000 F-cores, 1,000,000 E-cores, 100,000 D-cores, 10,000 C-cores, 1,000 B-cores, 100 A-cores, 50 S-cores, 10 SS-cores]


    [S-rank... 100,000,000 F-cores, 10,000,000 E-cores, 1,000,000 D-cores, 100,000 C-cores, 10,000 B-cores, 1,000 A-cores, 100 S-cores, 50 SS-cores]


    [SS-rank... 1,000,000,000 F-cores, 100,000,000 E-cores, 10,000,000 D-cores, 1,000,000 C-cores, 100,000 B-cores, 10,000 A-cores, 1,000 S-cores, 100 SS-cores]


    n knew this from the information he got from the books he had read in theb. He gave the paper to Lina.


    "Study this. You will know how many cores to absorb. This will help you when I am not around." n said with an emotionless voice and ordered some food.


    Lina examined the paper and asked n.


    "Why are there so many ranks cores?"


    n closed his eyes and replied. "They are the number of cores you can absorb. For example, You are an F-rank yer and you can now absorb either 100 F-rank cores, 50 E-rank cores, 10 D-rank cores, or 1 C-rank core. But you can''t absorb every ranked core. You have to choose one and absorb the required quantity. Understood?"


    "Yes!" She said that and sat on the ground same as n. There were 10 C-cores remaining. Lina took one core and absorbed the energy.


    She slowly absorbed the energy without any problem. She perfectly imitate n and absorbed the core in 10 minutes. The cores in her hands melted away indicating she had sucked all the energy from it.


    She slowly opened her eyes and saw nzily lying on the bed eating a hamburger.


    "Hehehe" She chuckled and stood.


    She walked toward n andid beside him.

    "So, are we going to the boss room?" Lina asked looking at the huge door in front of her.


    "Yup..." n answered without batting an eye at Lina.

    A loud hissing sound echoed in the room. n carefree walked inside but Lina slowly and carefully walked.

    And n''s party has beat more than 10 dungeons in a week making them their target. The man in front of them who is talking to them is an A-rank yer.


    n stare at them coldly and raised his weapon. n and Lina weren''t wearing any armor in their dungeon hunting.


    So, the robbers probably realized them as poor hunters who can''t afford to buy armors.


    The man smiled again and said. "So, why don''t you hand over all of your items to us?"


    "Ohh... Why do we hand our items to you guys." n said with a calm voice.


    "Ohh... you don''t want us to resort to violence." The man frowned and said coldly.


    Slice! Puk!


    But before anyone did anything, n rushed to the hoard of people and instantly killed 4 people.


    "Wh...What?!" The man blinked in surprise. He stared at n.


    Slice Puk! Boom! sh! Puk!


    n cast his all offensive skills and instantly killed 10 yers within a minute.


    The man stares at n with despair. His hands shook and his legs trembled. In the hoard, many yers were up to B-rank. The man looked at Lina who was the nearest to him and rushed toward her.


    Boom! Slice!


    "Argg!"


    "Help me..."


    "Please don''t kill me.."


    ''I''m sorr-"


    n finished killing everyone. He ignored their screams and finished them. He looked at thest man who rushed toward Lina.


    He sprinted toward him.


    "Stop!" The man shouted. "If you walked a single step then I will kill this girl!"


    The man was holding Lina with a sword pointing at her neck. n instantly stopped hearing the voice.


    The man grinned. He started to rx.


    n was staring at the man. He was totally calm and didn''t care about him.


    On the other hand... Lina was dumbfounded. She got held as a hostage. But she was also calm. She held the man''s arm with a little force.


    Snap!


    "Huh...?" The man heard the sound of bone breaking. He looked at his arm dumbfounded and saw his hand being ttened.


    "Arrgggggg!!!!" The man screamed in pain and fell to the ground.


    Lina looked at him and punched his face with more force.


    Bang! Crack!


    His face got covered in blood. His head bleed and his skull broke. The man died instantly without getting to know what happened.


    Lina walked toward n without caring about the man she just killed.


    "Did I do a good job?" Lina sked n.


    "Yes..." n said with an emotionless face and patted her head.


    They both head to the hotel leaving 20 corpses at the entrance of the dungeon.

 Chapter 82 System!!!

    Nine years... I clearly remembered that day. That day my happiness turned into despair.


    I was nine years old when I get on a ne with my parents. We were going on a trip to enjoy our vacation.


    My caring and loving mom and my free-spirited dad. We were so happy to spend our time together.


    But that changed when our happy times turned into despair. The ne we boarded crashed and many passengers died including my parents.


    Fortunately or Unfortunately... I survived. But I was greatly injured. My right arm got paralyzed and my whole family''s inheritance spent on the hospital bill cost 140 million won.


    I took every knowledge and learned everything I could from the books and other forms of education. I got full marks in my school test and got a full schrship when I was just 17.


    And the moment, I left my house I was already in another world, known as hell. I face many problems, hurdles, and despair. But I didn''t give up.


    No matter what I face, I didn''t lose my hopes and continue to survive. I became so obsessed with living, that I killed others to survive. I want to live Because...


    That''s what my parents sacrificed their lives for...


    As I screamed out, "I''ming!!!"


    Off with their heads! *slicing noises*


    ---------------


    I woke up in an apartment building that I live in. I remember that time when mom and dad protected me with everything they had on a ne crash on our trip to Jeju ind...


    As it turned out we were gonna live on Jeju ind. But that''s all memories, it''s already toote to change the past. I ate a piece of bread, wore my blue uniform, and grabbed another piece of bread before heading out.


    But before opening the door, I closed my eyes.


    "Ok... It''s my first time at a school, so act normal..." I murmured to myself as I put my hand on my chest calming myself.


    I opened the door as I opened my eyes, but instead of seeing the rural streets, I used to see. I saw many seats filled with demons, ghosts, and all sorts of undead. I quickly realized that I am on a stage.


    I looked everywhere and saw dead bodies everywhere, and beasts in cages. Suddenly, I heard a loud voice.


    "We have a new challenger! Girls and men! demons and devils! ce your bets if this human will survive! Odds are 1:4!"


    The audience stared at me with a disgusting expression on their face. They started to boo me. While they all booed at me, a ck window appeared in front of me showing,


    [Wee new user to the devil system. The devil system will help the user survive whilst in hell.]


    Then 3 boxes appeared in the window.


    "Skill boxes" Were written at the box. I looked closely at the boxes.


    One box was white, one was just a question mark, and one was ck and show signs of a ck aura. I opened the white and a skill appeared...


    [Weapon mastery (basic)]


    [Learned all basic weapon arts]


    The moment the window disappeared, my mind was invaded, I could remember all sorts of forms, weapons, and their uses.


    My mind felt like it was about to burst. It was so unbearable.


    "AHHHHHH"I screamed as the pain became more and more intense. The knowledge forcibly poured into my mind.


    After a moment, the pain stopped. A message appeared in front of me.


    [Leaned Mind Protection (basic)]


    [Mind protection: slightly protects your mind from all sorts of damage, spells, and reduces pain received from learning (must learn for college students)]


    "I gained a new skill." I murmured to myself staring at the message box.


    I don''t know why thest part is there but this is helpful for me.


    Then the window with boxes again appeared in front of me. I opened the question mark box this time and a full set of leather armor, a stone sword, bow and arrows, and a stone knife dropped out of nowhere.


    Weirdly, I know how I could use all these, I wore my armor, carried all the weapons. They were quite heavy but I''ll get used to it.


    Then I looked at the ck box... I was a little scared of opening it, but if it means surviving hell, I''ll take it! I opened the box and it says


    [One random skill unlocked]<novelnext></novelnext>


    [Corpse Absorption (Basic)]


    [Corpse Absorbtion: able to suck out a portion of the attributes of a corpse and make it yours.]


    I looked at the other parts of the system, there''s a lucky wheel but it says


    [Spend 10 demon coins to spin.]


    [The price will go up 10 times after a spin.]


    [Price Resets daily in hell time.]


    There was also a level up and attribute system, intelligence, strength, physical, and agility. My looking was suddenly disrupted by the announcer.


    "The betting will close in 10...9...8...7...6...5-"


    But before he continued I shouted out.


    "I bet 1000 demon coins on myself!"


    The audience went silent but the announcer shouted.


    "1000 demons coins have been added to the bet! If you win it will be 4000, but if you lose..."


    "I know!" I suddenly said interrupting me.


    The announcer was a little dissatisfied by my interruption but he ignored me and started to say something to the audience.


    I examined my surrounding. ''My goal is to survive. Even if I lose this fight, I will not die. But if I win, I will get many demon coins."


    Suddenly, a window popped in front of me startling me.


    [The corpse absorption ability has leveled up]


    [Corpse Absorption (Intermediate): absorbs half the corpse''s abilities, skill, and attributes.]


    The window disappeared after some second. I looked in front of me.


    The enemies started appearing, Two hellhounds and 16 undead dogs. The undead dogs all rushed to me the moment they saw me while the hounds stood there being wary.


    I also took my fighting stance wielding the sword that was given to me by the system. I was ready for their attack but the undead dogs seem so slow to me.


    Slice!


    I quickly sliced a dog''s head with my sword. But the problem now is that I''m surrounded by these dogs and I''m not fast enough to kill all of them in one blow. So I took advantage and made a n.


    I fought with the undead dogs for a minute. I killed 2 zombie dogs slicing their head. I quickly get to their corpse and activated.


    "Corpse Activation!!!"


    A bright light shone in my palm. I touched the corpse and a flow of energy got absorbed in my body.


    [Ding! Learned Four Feet Speed (Basic)]


    [Four Feet Speed (Basic): Increase movement speed by 15% when moving on 4 limbs.]


    [Ding! Learned Unique skill "Gluttony" (Basic)]


    [Gluttony (Basic): Increases an attribute depending on what you eat.]


    I smiled looking at the message. My attributes didn''t increased much but my agility increased drastically. I looked at the medium-size window, examining it.


    [Strength: (Basic) 40]


    [Intelligent: (Basic) 50]


    [Aglity: (Basic) 58]


    [Stamina: (Basic) 54]


    My confidence increased. I looked at my enemies and smiled.


    "Bring it!!!!"

 Chapter 83 Slime

    "Huh?"


    The darkness disappeared, and a vision came into Ren''s sight. A room was made up of stone, the ceiling, floor, and walls, everything was made of polished stone.


    ''Why am I on the floor?''


    He thought as he tried to stand up. But he couldn''t. Not only he couldn''t stand, but he also couldn''t feel his legs.


    Just as his attention went to his body, he found he was squishy.


    A small puddle was a little far from the room. Without having any lead to where he was nor what he was, he moved his body. Rubbing his body on the floor, he slowly crawled to the puddle.


    He looked down. The moment he did, the time froze. He couldn''t believe his eyes.


    A blue ball or it looked like one. The whole body was polished. a small eye was in the middle of his body. There was no nose, but a small mouth instead.


    It didn''t take a minute for him to figure out. "I became... a slime?"


    Slime, what is it? A squishy substance that people y with in real life. A weak monster that every gamer has at least killed once in his life.


    Anything says, but slime is only a slime. Even though one novel''s mc is slime and he is pretty op while another mc has slime has its pet.


    "Haah! I am a slime..."


    Ren sighed looking at himself. He is pretty cute, though. The blue slime size of a football moves while crawling rubbing his squishy body with the ground...


    "Anyway, this is my reality for now. Do I have a system or any golden finger as the rumor says? Maybe I could be overpowered as heck?"


    Ren''s eyes gleam thinking if he could live the life of a protagonist. Going for adventure, picking up girls, killing enemies...


    "Oh... But What do I do now?"


    He thought deeply. His brain worked and some information magically came to him, like it was imprinted on his brain.


    It was all about slime and his skills.


    It wasn''t a system. ording to this memory, all slime knows themselves. Like humans who know how to eat, drink, etc from their birth, slimes know about their race/basic information about themselves from the birth.


    Slimes are... immortal.


    As long as their cores aren''t destroyed, they can live for as long as they want. They could take energy from anything they eat. Be it stone, fire, or even acid, as long a slime could absorb it, it bes nutrients for it.


    So, except for destroying their cores, nothing else can kill them. There is something, but mentioning it is a waste of time.


    Most importantly, a skill has caught his eyes.


    [Exclusive Skill -> Gluttony: Absorb skill from the eaten things.]


    It was the only skill he had, and on top of that, it was an exclusive skill. He doesn''t know if anyone else has this skill, but he could be at least sure to a certain degree that in the slime race, he only has this skill.


    "So, I could get a skill from anything I eat?"


    Ren was a little doubtful, but it came from the memory, so he didn''t have to deny it either. He thought for a while, and look at the water in the pond.


    "What if...I drink this water?"


    Ren doesn''t know if only eating things will activate the skill. Can this still work if I drink water? This won''t make sense, but giving it a try won''t harm him.


    He couldn''t even feel thirsty or hungry, he just need to consume anything when he feels tired.


    "Anyway, let''s drink this."


    Ren closed his eyes and jumped on the pond. He couldn''t bend, it wasn''t that he couldn''t bend, it was that it was too hard. He had to manage his body, and it was slippery. He didn''t have that much control over his own body.


    Ssh!


    As he fell into the water, he drowned. He couldn''t swim. Fortunately, his weight wasn''t that much, so he floated on the water.


    He drank water somehow. Just as the water went inside his body, he didn''t feel anything. Yes, nothing. The water went naturally, but he didn''t feel satisfied. He didn''t feel anything, it didn''t even feel like, the water went inside his throat.


    Ren sighed.


    Suddenly, a feeling came to his mind.


    "I learned another skill!"


    Ren eximed with joy. He immediately checked the skill.


    [Water Maniption: As long as near the water, you can control the water to fight.] (A/N: This isn''t from the system. The [] are just for providing information, Ren didn''t see the skill, he feel and know it.]


    "So, I could manipte water... Let''s try."


    Magic and human, no one in the world would have resistance to magic. Every human being from Earth will be easily charmed by magic.


    Why?


    Magic is cool!


    Anyway, Ren closed his eye. He slowly uses Water Maniption. Indescribable energy left his body. Like awork, it created a connection between Ren and the energy.


    The energy entered inside the water and grasped it. Ren could now move the water as he pleased.


    "Let''s move it upward."


    The water flowed up, and a small line of water moved upward creating a stick-like figure.


    Of course, he is using magic for the first time. So, it would be difficult to maintain it. The water just floated for 5 seconds before falling and mixing with the pond.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Ren felt exhausted like his stamina has been depleted instantly.


    His eyes became heavy, and darkness covered him.


    A memory of the past shed inside his mind as he fell into a deep slumber.


    ****


    "Eating healthy food, and less junk food is good for your health. So, try to eat vegetables more, and don''t eat too much packaged food,"


    An old man who is a teacher of Science warned students. It was a fact known by everyone, but he still decided to advise them, as he saw many students eating junk food daily.


    As a teacher, he was still concerned about students'' health.


    At the corner of the ss, a book erected on the desk hid the figure of a teenage boy. He slept under the book''s cover with a delighted expression on his face.


    He squirmed slightly and changed his head in the opposite direction. Until a moment ago, his face was facing east, now it faced west.


    Just as everything was going normally, a bright light shed that even jolty woke the boy. The boy rubbed his eye and looked at the source of the light, just to get shed by the light.


    He immediately closed his eye, he felt something on his body. He quickly opened his eye but he couldn''t see.


    It was like his eye stopped functioning, or the areas were just so dark. He didn''t even know if he was opening his eye or not. The darkness was equal to the darkness he found when his eyes were closed.


    Just as the darkness disappeared, the boy found himself on the ground in a room built of polished stone.


    "So, it wasn''t just a dream..."


    Ren mumbled. He just woke up and found himself here The memory of his past life, or maybe his life some time ago in human form yed inside his brain like a dream.


    Sighing, he forgot about his previous life. That life wasn''t worth it anyway. Full of boring life, Ren was tired. He wanted something new, ying games, reading novels, and manga, watching anime, studying, getting yelled at, etc. His previous life was like a video recording in a loop that yed again every time it ended.


    Life is boring, or so he always said. But now life has taken an unexpected turn making it a little exciting for him.


    Coming back to the present, Ren felt weird. He tried to move, but unexpected tiredness swarmed over his body. But he wasn''t exhausted like his body was full of energy but he couldn''t utilize that energy.


    He pondered for a moment and found the answer. He is hungry in a sense.


    But he didn''t have anything to eat. He could drink water over the puddle, or maybe it is a pond. Anyway, it won''t fix his hunger issue.


    Suddenly, a pebble came into his vision. Just a little farther, a pebbleid. Ren looked at the pebble like it was a pizza.


    Ren barely managed to move his body. Slowly by slowly, with indescribable tiredness, he crawled toward the pebble.


    Like a person who has found water in the middle of a desert, Ren felt that exact happiness when he found the pebble.


    He put the pebble in his mouth, meaning, he picked the pebble into his mouth and ate it. As it got eaten, the pebble dissolved inside his body instantly.


    Ren could feel energy spreading inside his body. He could finally utilize his energy peacefully. He looked around and found many pebbles in the room. It seemed that the pebbles are left for the slimes to eat.


    Ren looked at the floor and thought to consume it, but he couldn''t as he didn''t have the power to break the stone paved on the floor.


    He crawled toward those pebbles and ate them one by one.


    He again felt his brain tingling.


    "I gained a new skill!"


    Ren eximed with joy. He didn''t take a second to look at the skill.


    [Earth Affinity: (Passive Skill) Increase the proficiency in Earth-Element Skill by 10% from the start. You can utilize Earth-Element Skill proficiently,]


    Ren sighed disappointedly. He knew this skill is better, but he doesn''t have any Earth element skills. So, this skill is pretty much useless for now. But he knew it would be useful in the future. Who doesn''t want passive skill?


    As a gamer, he knew, that if he gets loads of passive skills that boost the active skill, the active skill will be stronger.


    Ignoring this skill, Ren exited the room. He didn''t use any magic, he had only one though but he didn''t use it for now.


    It would be stupid for him to use water magic for now, as it will quickly deplete his stamina and make him fall asleep.


    It may increase his mana capacity or what he wants to call the energy for now, but it would take a pretty long time.


    He didn''t know about his surrounding, so he needs to explore them first.


    As Ren exited the room, his eyes widen. His eye fell on the countless slime that was crawling on the ground mindlessly.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he knew about slimes, he would think the slimes are intelligent as him. Why? Because he got used to being slime and had a conscious of his own, he thought other slimes may also have that. It was subconsciously.


    But the amount of slime in the area was pretty disastrous. Maybe they hadn''t anything to do, they all roamed in the same ce.


    In a hallway of ten feet wide, hundreds of slime were walking and bumping into each other again and again.


    Some didn''t eat for long, so they sat on the ground lifelessly.


    Immortal, my ass!


    Ren cursed inside his head.


    He may not die of old age, disease, or virus. But he would die if he didn''t eat anything. Fortuatnely he was inside an empty room, or he wouldn''t be in this world for more than... god knows how much time.


    He has already lost his sense of time.


    But looking at this scene, Ren couldn''t help but exim. "This is Dungeon of Slime!"

 Chapter 84 Eating Slime (First Evolution)

    Ren sighed helplessly. He looked at the slime and thought. ''Can I eat them?''


    If he eat them it would be cannibalism like how humans eat humans. But he didn''t care, it wasn''t the human world. ''No one will care even if I eat my kin.'' With this thought, Ren crawled at the nearest slime.


    The slime walked in a line. It walked ahead and bumped into a wall, so it walked in opposite direction to hit another wall again.


    Ren wanted tough at this scene, its action looked simr to the action of NPC in RPGs.


    Ren didn''t know what will happen if he eat his kind. Will he get attacked by other slimes, or they will just ignore him.


    Ren pondered for a moment to figure out if he should take the risk or not.


    But with a little thinking, Ren jumped on the slime. He didn''t waste second chewing down its slimy skin.


    As he ate down, the slime panicked. Its crawling speed increased and it bumped into the same wall again and again.


    Ren thought other slimes would notice, but much to his surprise, no slime care about the panicked slime at all.


    It seemed like the panicked slime didn''t exist for them.


    Ren spat a sigh of relief thinking it is fine, so he hurriedly ate the slime.


    Eating one''s kind is kind of weird and exciting.


    Finally, Ren''s mouth touched the slime''s core. He tried to chew it but his slimy mouth couldn''t chew the core at all.


    The core was harder than the pebble he ate a while ago. After several attempts to chew the core, Ren gave up. He directly suck the core and ate it in one go.


    He thought it would stuck in his throat, but he forgot slime had no throat at all!


    He easily gulped down the core, and the panicked slime half of the body turned into liquid and flowed on the ground.


    Ren felt a huge amount of energy inside his body stirring. He learned a new skill too!


    [Body Control: (Passive Skill) Can control one''s body more proficiently.]


    When Ren found out about the skill, he didn''t feel disappointed. Instead, he felt joy in his heart. He could control his body easier and masterly.


    He could bend down naturally, crawl faster and he could spread his body and turn into liquid now. Ren crawled to another slime, however except for eating the slime, he opened his body.


    His body stretched and separated into two parts. The big opening between this two-part covered the body of another slime and directly consume it!


    The slime instantly dissolved inside Ren''s body giving him more energy. He could feel his mana pool, capacity, storage, anything it can call increased.


    This method sped up his eating time, and he doesn''t have to spend some time eating the slime from the top, or other things too.


    But the problem is, his height in this stretched form only reached 2 feet. So, he can''t directly eat a bigger monster in the future.


    And again, he felt his brain tingling receiving a new skill.


    [Slide: Can slide one''s body in any area.]


    The short yet simple description made Ren''s eye gleam. He immediately used it without any hesitation. He wasn''t worried about hunger, for now, his several foods were just here walking here and there.


    So, when he feels hungry, he could just eat one of them.


    "Wheeee!!!"


    Ren''s scream echoed in the quiet dungeon. His body slid over the in stone surface easily giving him a boost in speed. He couldn''t control the skill, so he couldn''t stop in time.


    Bang!


    He bumped into another slime. Ren stopped sliding due to the impact, but he was pushed back a little further. The bumped slime also pushed back and hit the wall.


    "Damn, that was fucking exciting and scary!"


    Ren couldn''t help but describe the feeling inside his heart as excitement.


    He crawled at the slime that hit the wall and eat it without any hesitation. However this time, except for the feeling of energy inside his body, he didn''t receive any skill.


    Ren felt disappointed, so he continue eating slime


    20 Slime Later-


    "Burp"


    Ren couldn''t eat anything now. He felt his body has reached the capacity of dissolving anything inside. Huge amount of disappointed shed in Ren''s eye, as he didn''t receive any skill.


    Suddenly, after his 20th meal, his body glowed brightly. The energy inside his body stirred and jumped up and down like a naughty child.


    He felt his skin refining, his stomach capacity increasing. His height increased or so he guessed looking at his shadow.


    Inside his mind, a tingling sensation appeared giving him information about his new skills.


    [Jump: (Passive skill) You can jump now.]


    [Mana Restoration: (Passive Skill) Automatically store 1 mana per ten minutes]


    [Evolution from Child Slime to Teenage Slime (Evolution Skill): Regeneration: As long as the core is not destroyed, can regenerate the skin continuously. (Passive Skill - Special Skill)]


    "I..evolved?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    What the heck? I was child slime until now? Now, I am a teenager?


    Ren shook his head and dispelled his unnecessary thoughts. His skill is imprinted into his mind, so he made them on a list and look at them inside his mind.


    ********


    [Gluttony (Ultimate Skill): Absorb skill from the eaten things.]


    [Water Maniption: As long as near the water, you can control the water as your wish.]


    [Earth Affinity: (Passive Skill) Increase the proficiency in Earth-Element Skill by 10% from the start. You can utilize Earth-Element Skill proficiently,]


    [Body Control: (Passive Skill) Can control one''s body more proficiently.]


    [Slide: Can slide one''s body in any area.]


    [Jump: (Passive skill) You can jump now.]


    [Mana Restoration: (Passive Skill) Automatically store 1 mana per ten minutes]


    [Regeneration (Special Skill): (Passive Skill) As long as the core is not destroyed, can regenerate the skin continuously.]


    ******


    Ren''s eye gleamed as he thought he had many skills now. Not all of them were shy or much used for battle, but they were still helpful.


    Ren wanted to eat all the slime and evolve again, but he couldn''t. The energy he would obtain from the slimes would decrease now.


    He learned this from the same memory. He needs to consume high-level slime now to evolve.


    He didn''t know whether this knowledge was only to him, or it was also sent to other slimes, but due to their low intelligence, they couldn''t follow?


    But if thy can''t follow, why is this knowledge even passed on?


    How much Ren thought about it, the more mysterious it be?


    Ren shook his head.


    This memory and the skill should be my golden finger!


    Ren smiled joyously and continue roaming the dungeon.


    Sliding inside the dungeon, Ren felt excited as a child. He slid from one ce to another, looking at different ces.


    His mana capacity increased, or his skill just didn''t take much mana, he wasn''t exhausted at all. He wished he did have something that would help him keep track of his mana and health point.


    Ren passed by many slimes, when he felt the slightest bit tired, he just eat another slime without any hesitation. He was so bold now that he dared to eat slime in front of another slime that was looking at the slime that was eaten.


    In one word, he ate a slime while being seen without any nervousness.


    After many turns, he arrived at a ce. A huge door made up of stone stood in front of Ren. He wanted to open the door, but it was soo heavy he couldn''t even budge it.


    Feeling disappointed, he turned back.


    Dunn!


    The huge door opened creating a huge noise. The huge noise made Ren jump. He looked at the door which opened automatically with an angry gaze.


    But sighing, he entered inside.


    As he enter, he saw a huge space with small pebbles on the ground scattered everywhere. Some slimes eating these pebbles could be seen.


    A throne at the end of the room attracted Ren''s attention. A huge slime at least 2 times bigger than him sat on the throne like a king looking at his soldier.


    Ren tilted his head.


    This must be boss room!


    Ren looked at the huge slime and spoke inside his head. ''This is boss slime!''


    He felt excited. He was also the boss slime''s subordinate, so it didn''t care even when Ren entered casually.


    The boss slimey on the thronezily.


    Ren wanted to experiment with something, so he just crawled toward one''s slime which was obviously bigger than a normal slime.


    They must be teenager slime.


    Ren nodded and opened his body consuming the teenager slime without any hesitation. After eating, his mind tingled and a surge of energy invaded his body.


    But he ignored the feeling and looked at the boss slime and other slimes.


    Ren sighed or just chuckled at the low intelligence of the slime.


    They didn''t even react when Ren ate the teenager slime.


    He again crawled at other slime and started eating them. In just some minute only boss slime was left. But again, it didn''t do anything. It just stare at Ren andzily sat on the throne.


    ''Hmm, it must only react when human or other being except slime enter.''

 Chapter 85 Boss Slime

    Ren wanted tough hard. He wanted tough evilly like the viin, but he held the urge as it would be embarrassing. There was still the boss slime left.


    But he didn''t know if he could take the boss by himself. But after thinking for a moment, he decided to give it a try.


    "Wait, let''s check my skill first." He looked at the skill inside his head.


    [Crush: Could crush harder things with teeth.]


    [Stick: Could stick to walls and ceiling.]


    [Long Vision: Could see further things clearly.]


    Ren sighed. These skills were normal, but he didn''t feel disappointed. All of these skills would be very useful outside the dungeon, more specifically, the stick skill would useful mostly as he can hide from entries by sticking under something.


    Ren''s eye directed at the boss slime again. His lips curved and he used a slide to slide there in an incredible speed directly hitting the throne.


    The throne shook slightly, but due to being made up of stone and being heavy, it didn''t cause any disturbance to the boss slime.


    Ren crawls behind the throne and sticks to the throne slowly crawling up. After reaching the top, Ren opened his huge mouth (his body) and covered the whole boss slime body.


    Of course, he could only put half of boss slime''s body into his mouth, as he was still small.


    He closed his mouth and used ''crack''. He felt mana flowing on his teeth. He pierced through the skin quickly and hit the core.


    The boss slime didn''t stay idle and let Ren do whatever he wants. The boss slime finally felt threat as it could be eaten here.


    So, it jumped like a madman. It hit the ceiling, hit the wall, and did whatever it could think. But its efforts went in vain. With little effort, Ren''s teeth pierce the boss slime''s core.


    As the core broke apart, the resistance of the boss slime disappeared. Ren consumed the core wholly and left the skin on the ground.


    He sat on the throne satisfied as he felt his mind tingling and his body glowing.


    That''s right.


    He was going to evolve again!!!


    Just the thought of evolving twice in a day made Ren happy as a lucky bastard. He could hold the excitement.


    But.. Except of his energy exploding inside his body, he felt exhausted. All of the energy inside his body vanished.


    He felt drowsy, as his vision fell into darkness.


    And, Ren fell into a deep slumber on the throne. ignorant of what happening outside.


    **********


    "Let''s clear this slime dungeon once again!!"


    A man wearing leather armor raised his sword. His words were directed toward his 3 members. One girl carrying a staff in her hand, a dude with a shield and spear, and a woman with a bow in her hand and arrows on her back.


    They were a group of adventures, one could figure out just by looking at the clothes they were wearing.


    They charged inside the dungeon without any hesitation. They killed the slime easily. It didn''t take more than 10 minutes, for them to reach near the boss''s room.


    Hundreds of slime that were mindlessly crawling surrounded the crew and jumped at them together.


    The adventures weren''t nervous. The girl carrying a staff cast a defensive spell. All the slimes hit the barrier and fell down just to get ughtered by the sword of the energetic guy who seemed to be the leader of the group.


    The bow girl shot arrows from behind killing slime one by one. The spear guy maintains his shield and block an attack from the slimes as the staff girl couldn''t cast the spell in time.


    His long spear pierces the skin and scatters the slimes'' core easily.


    From their fighting, one could deduce they were pretty good at cooperation and coordination. They covered each other''s backs and didn''t let anyone get injured.


    As the fight outside the boss room intensified as teenagers slimes also joined the fight, Ren on the other hand slept soundly amidst the chaos.


    He soon woke up, but his eyes expanded when his vision cleared.


    What the hell happened?!!!


    "Shina, I need defense!"


    "Jen, I need a shield here!"


    The group of adventures asked each other for help as they dealt with the slimes. The teenager''s slimes were bigger in size, so they were a little harder to kill.


    The swordsman, Lin, swung his sword at the slime and killed it in one strike. Another slime jumped at him and tried to hit him but the defense barrier created by Shina protected him.


    Lin swung his sword again and killed the jumping slime.


    Like that, Jin covered Tina''s back with his shield as one slime jumped at her. She immediately stung her arrow in the bow and shooter at the slime far back. Her arrow pierced the slime''s skin and destroyed its core.


    Jin blocked the attack with his shield and stabbed the slime with his spear, KOing it in one hit.


    The squad dealt the slime easily, as no one was even scratched up to the battle now.


    Ren, on the other hand, woke up after ten minutes. But for him, it felt like a long time. Not having a sense of time is difficult, or so heined in his heart.


    Swung! Swoosh!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Sounds of swinging swords, and firing arrows, rang outside the door. Feeling curious, Ren crawled near the door ignoring his condition.


    He opened the door a little and peeked through it.


    People wearing armors and carrying weapons killing the slimes came into Ren''s view. Excitement aside, he felt the threat.


    He killed the boss slime, so the next boss would be him. And he deduced from their fighting skill, that they weren''t trying their best. At most, they were like practicing.


    Ren didn''t know if he could defeat them or not, and he didn''t even know if he couldmunicate with them in the first ce.


    Also, trying that would be foolish. If they didn''t listen and directly tried to kill him, wouldn''t that be a waste.


    He jumped up and stick to the ceiling near the door to avoid the adventurers. Then he looked at the skills, that he gained from killing the boss slime and from evolution.


    [Scatter: Separate the body into different parts. (Extra effect: Can jump the consciousness from one body to another.) Time Limit: 10 minutes]


    [Evolution from Child Slime to Teenage Slime (Evolution Skill): Spike: Create spikes from the skin. Harder and sharper than real spikes. Time Limit: 5 minutes]


    [(Evolution Skill): Small Store: Can store things limited to things of limited size inside your body.]


    "Wow. These skills are quite good."


    Ren sighed in relief at getting an offensive skill.


    Creak!


    Unlike previously when the door opened automatically, this time the group opened the door and the creaking sound reverberated. Ren guard raised as he turned his body into liquid and stick to the ceiling.


    The group of adventurers bloomed in slime while walking inside. But when they saw the state of the room, their eyes widen.


    "What the hell? Where did the boss of this dungeon go?" Lin asked searching the dungeon. His eyes scanned the room like a hunter searching for his prey.


    "Look at the state of the room, it seems like someone has killed it early," Shina said looking at the small puddle of blue liquid on the ground.


    She touched the liquid and gasped in surprise. "This is the remains of the boss slime."


    Hearing that, Tina frowned. "Someone came and killed the boss... But how did it pass through the slime?"


    "Hmm, this is quite mysterious."


    Jin put his hand on his chin.


    While clearing a dungeon, killing every monster inside the dungeon is necessary. Just killing the boss monster won''t do.


    Even if they killed the boss, the dungeon won''t restart. Meaning, that the slime will continue doing their work and the boss room will be empty.


    As long as every monster inside the dungeon is killed, the dungeon will go through a restoration....


    Anyway, the group of adventurers looked at the crime scene and sighed.


    "Well, no point in thinking now," Lin said.


    " I can''t think at all. My brain cell is paining." Tinained.


    "I am not a brain guy. So, I can''t think of the answer." Jen crossed his arm and separated from the discussion.


    "You are just a muscle head. We don''t need your tiny brain here. Anyway, let''s go out. I am tired from all the fighting we did." Shina stretched her arms.


    "Ok, let''s go."


    Jin announced and exited the room. They didn''t think that there will a monster sticking on the ceiling at all.


    Monsters are low intelligence, so they didn''t waste their brain cells thinking if monsters nned a trap or not.


    Ren on the other hand listened to their conversation and slowly crawled outside the room. He followed the group quietly.


    As they reached the exit of the dungeon, Ren separated his body using Scatter. He made a small piece of himself and attached it to his leg of Lin.


    He didn''t want to risk his chance of exiting the dungeon. What if there was a barrier blocking his way, but if they could pass through the dungeon, could he pass with them?


    And the answer was, yes.


    He passed through the barrier easily and jumped at the nearest tree he saw.


    The group didn''t notice the slime.


    Ren crawled upward the tree, and again transport his consciousness to the body inside the dungeon.


    This time, he tried to go out with the huge body. But...


    Diiinnn!


    He hit the barrier. Ren sighed and again his consciousness came back to the small slime, the size of a drop of water.


    As the time of the skill expired, his body glowed. His body regrew again, and he felt exhausted. His body returned back to its formal form and he fell asleep due to the energy consumed in regrowing his body.

    As the time of the skill expired, his body glowed. His body regrew again, and he felt exhausted. His body returned back to its formal form and he fell asleep due to the energy consumed in regrowing


    "Hmm, ~~"


    Ren stretched his body and looked around. He found himself at the top of the tree looking at the scenery.


    ''Where am I?''


    He thought. Memory rushed down his brain, and he remembered he exited the dungeon happily. Now, he is in the middle of a forest. He didn''t know where to go.


    Of course, he can''t go to a human settlement being a slime, it won''t take more than one minute for people toe to hunt him.


    He couldn''t help but sigh looking at his condition. But he didn''t look depressed, instead, he pumped himself because he didn''t have a fist to pump it.


    Sliding through the tree, he reached the ground in minutes. He had to find some objective for now.


    "Let''s evolve as much I can for now."


    This was his temporary goal or his lifelong one too.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a figure passed in front of him in a sh. Seeing the ck shadow, Ren immediately raised his guard and jumped onto the treetching to it.


    Tak! Tak!


    Sounds of someone walking drifted into Ren''s ear. A wolf dropping its saliva came into his vision. From the looks of it, the wolf seemed hungry.


    Its skinny body and a hunter''s gaze stunned Ren for a moment.


    ''Damn, A hungry wolf!''


    He cursed. But he soon calmed down.


    ''Can I defeat this thing?''


    He thought. He had only killed slimes, nope, he just ate them, so he didn''t know whether he could defeat the wolf or not.


    He needs to make a decision. Run or make a gamble.


    Running means, he is a coward, fighting it won''t make him brave. If the gap in the power is huge, it would be just a stupid decision he would make.


    Shaking his head, Ren decided to gamble.


    ''Time for a feast!''


    He increased his confidence and sharply looked at the wolf.


    In an instant, a list of skills appeared. He needed to choose some skills that would help him to defeat the wolf. Of course, his whole inner decision and list of skills appearing didn''t take more than 5 seconds.


    Also, the skill shouldn''t take much mana at once, or he would just submit himself to the wolf since he will fall asleep once his mana is depleted.


    Second, the skill must be effective, random skill will only consume mana and won''t help him much.


    With these thoughts in mind, he nced at the skills inside his mind like a skill panel he would peer of game characters.

    *****


    As his gaze swift the skill, a sense of pride surfaced in his heart.


    "Slide, Jump, and Spike. I could only use these three skills to defeat the wolf."


    Jump to avoid attack, spike to create a spike on his body and slide to lead the spike to kill the wolf instantly, or if he could do that.


    He would use crush after he dealt a huge blow to the wolf, and eat in one serve.


    "Ok, let''s go!!!"


    HUUS!


    his body.

 Chapter 87 Fighting A Hungry Wolf

    Ren leaped in the air and cast a spike. He felt a sense of tingling on his body. The slimy substance erected and hardened. The tip of the spike thinned and became sharper like a de.


    In an instant, the spehereic-looking slime looked like an Ultimate CannonBall. With blue spike erected from his skin, he looked like a round ball covered in spikes.


    The wolf below the ground felt a sense of danger from the lump of sticky thing that turned into a shiny spiky thing.


    Swoosh!


    It jumped back andnded 2 meters further from Ren.


    Bang!


    Rennded on the ground. His pikes pierce the soil. As he rolled, the spike enter inside the soil hindering him from gaining speed.


    The wolf tilted its head looking at the idiotic action that the slime was taking. It showed an evil smile before jumping andnding in front of Ren.


    But-


    That was its biggest mistake. As soon as Ren saw the wolf jumping with a confident smile, he smirked.


    ''Fooled you!''


    Ren sneered inside his heart, before activating "Slide!"


    Instantly, the spike tingled and except rolling, the slime moved ahead cutting the soil like a tractor plowing the field.


    He gained an incredible speed and the wolf that justnded near Ren showed a solemn expression. It didn''t have time to dodge or jump.


    Thud!


    Ren hit the wolf and his sharp spike impale the wolf''s skin.


    *Whimper*


    The wolf whimpered, it wanted to cry in pain, but the blood that is lost in an instant weakened it to the extent that it didn''t even have an ounce of energy.


    Ren''s spike was still inside the wolf''s body.


    Instantly, Ren''s body grew in size, and the spike dissolved mixing inside his body. The bigger body covered the wolf''s body. While paying respect inside his head, like "RIP wolf." He ate the wolf raw with its full body.


    The wolf''s body slowly dissolved and became nutrients for Ren.


    With just a single wolf, Ren felt a huge amount of energy surging inside his body. Like a glowing bulb, his body glowed and a sense of power spread inside his body.


    "I am going to evolve!"


    Ren eximed. Evolving in the middle of the forest without any cover sounds dangerous. Who knows, another monster will appear and eat him.


    So, he quickly jumps to the ground and sticks to it. He crawled to the top of the tree rashly as his life depends on it.


    And in just thirty seconds he popped on the leaves and evolved. Evolving, he lost his consciousness and he didn''t know what would happen next.


    "Ermm!!!"


    Ren woke up and stretched his body. Same scenery asst time, but when he looked down, he noticed some changes.


    His body increased again, and he felt his skin is tougher thanst time.


    He gained new skills again! One from the wolf, and two from evolution.


    [Swift Movement: This allows you to move faster than sound.]


    [Evolution from Mid-Teenage Slime to Adult Slime (Evolution Skill): Sneak: Let you dissipate your aura. As long as no movement is detected, no enemy/ no being will find you. (Limit: Creature ten times stronger than you, can easily detect you.)]


    [(Evolution Skill): Morph Fire: Change blue skin into red ming skin. Burn anything that you touch.]


    "Wooo!"


    Ren felt satisfied looking at this. He slid down the tree and looked at his surrounding. There was no one, or he didn''t see anything in his sight.


    He crawled slowly and cautiously. His guard was 100% raised.


    "Aaaaa!!"


    A scream echoed in the forest. Hearing a human scream, Ren couldn''t hold himself. He slid himself to the source of the sound, climbed the tree, and looked at the situation.


    A small girl who looked 12 years old stepped back, as a group of wolves surrounded her. She had a small bag full of herbs. Her green eyes that matched perfectly with nature shone brightly as drops of tear reflected.


    With teary eyes, her body trembled. She felt that she will die today. Looking at the child, Ren didn''t go down to save her.


    Firstly, he examined the surrounding. Except for the five wolves, no other monster was around. Except for the little girl, he didn''t find any other humans.


    He sighed, taking a deep breath, he prepared himself for his heroic appearance.


    "Yeahhhhh!!"


    With a shrill, Rennded on the ground.


    "Hello."


    He waved his body and looked at the group. The wolves facing the girl turned behind and stare at him. They red while gritting their teeth.


    The girl peeked out and saw a slime. She titled her head, not knowing the situation.


    Did the slime...e to save me?


    She thought with her small brain.


    "Grr!!"


    The wolves took a step back and walked forward toward Ren. Ren didn''t waver, he had a n on his sleeve.<novelnext></novelnext>


    If it is dangerous, just run.


    "Heh"


    Showing his big white teeth, he teased the wolves which made them angrier.


    Swoosh!


    One wolf jumped at him.


    Swoosh!


    But Ren used Swift Movement and dodged the attack skillfully. Another wolf jumped and again Ren dodged it.


    This time, he activated "Morph Fire!''


    His body changed drastically. Only his eyes and teeth remained the same, his overall appearance turned red.


    Warmth spread on his body and a hair of fire erected on his head. He looked kind of funny and cute not scary at all.


    The wolves took a step back butughed looking at Ren''s stupid appearance.


    They jumped at him again, but this time, Ren used swift movement andtched onto one wolf''s head. He used ''stick'' to glue himself to the wolf''s head.


    The wolf whose head was captured by Ren felt a burning pain in its head. A whimper and a painful scream escaped its mouth as it ran here and there hitting anything it found.


    But Ren didn''t drop, he just hummed while looking at other wolves who felt fear surfacing in their heart while looking at the wolf on fire, no, wolf on slime.


    In one minute, blood dripped on the ground. The wolf stopped struggling andy on the ground. The fur burnt and the skin turned into ashes. Wolf''s skull could be seen. As Ren felt that it was dead, he spread his body and ate it in one gulp.


    He felt refreshed. Except for that, he felt nothing. He looked at the other wolves who ran. Their brain worked hard to process that they can''t beat a mere slime.


    Leaving their pride, they ran off.


    Only the girl was left. Ren deactivated his skill and returned back to the old blue slimy thing.


    "...Hello?" Ren crawled slowly toward the girl.


    "H-Hello." The girl greeted back. She was still a little scared of him. But she didn''t run, she would just be dead if she run or she thought.


    "Phew. Thank god. You can understand me."


    "Yeah?"


    The girl was pretty confused by his word, but as she realized that she wasmunicating with a monster, she fell into a trance.


    "Wait, wait! We canmunicate! Monster and a human!!!"


    The girl''s eye glowed scarily. Like a child had found a new toy to y with, the girl''s eye looked the same. A chill run down Ren''s body as he looks at the girl.


    "Yeah, I guess so." He replied.


    "By the way, my name''s Ren." He introduced himself.


    "Monster has a name?" She titled her body but shook her head. "My name is Lina Herlock."


    Herlock? Why does it sound familiar?


    "Anyway, why are you in the forest, Lina?"


    "I was off to collect medical herbs to sell it in the town."


    "Town!!! Where is this town?!" As the word town came out of Lina''s mouth, Ren felt excited.


    Finally, I can see a human settlement.


    He thought God has bless him.


    "Ummm, the town is a ten-minute walk from here."


    "Ohh!!"


    Ren''s eye twinkled with curiosity. He wanted to learn more about this world.


    "Then let me escort you to your town."


    "Pfft!!" Lina burst out intoughter. "Monster, on top of that a slime, will escort me to a human town. Ahahaha! This is hell funny."


    "..."


    Ren felt like he has been insulted. But he let it pass for now.


    "Ok, ok. Let''s go. Just don''t get caught." Lina said while giggling.


    "OK!!" Ren agreed, and they both off to the town.


    _____________


    A slime whose height is 2 feet looked a little shorter than the girl who is 2.5 feet tall. She had a dry smile on her face.


    While talking to her, Ren found many things about the world. The most important is the level and skill thing.


    Any human can level up by killing monsters, and that sounds like a game mechanism. The next thing is a skill, after every 10 levels, one could gain skill slots.


    One person has 2 skill slots at the beginning, and after 10 levels up, they can another one.


    Skills and Levels are the statuses of nobility. Many poor people are of low levels and have no skills while the king is the highest level person in a country and holds the strongest skills in the kingdom.


    These aremon sense.

 Chapter 88 Meeting A Group Of Bandits

    Her town is called ''Town of Butterflies''. The people there live in harmony. A farmer grows crops and most of them have farming-rted skills. Some cksmiths, alchemists, etc could be found, but they are rare.


    There is also one important thing, ss.


    After a person reaches 20 levels, they are blessed with ss. This ss shows them their future. If you get fighter ss, you will fight through your whole life, maybe not, but this ss shows him the future fighting.


    Likewise, mages are blessed with mana, the purest energy in this world. They can use these energies to cast magic that many people wish for. Be it fireball, or water ball. Want to call rain or just made the rain disappear, mage are the ones you should visit for these phenomena.


    Likewise, this world has many mysteries. Dungeon, Ruins, Tombs, Rifts, etc. Many things are here that this little girl only has heard a little.


    So, he would need to investigateter about these things.


    But from this information, he could guess, that he has an unlimited skill slot? Or could monsters doesn''t have skill slots, they could learn skills without this?


    He didn''t understand the logic, but he could guess, that his condition is rare. The final thing that made him interested in the demon lord.


    "As the demon lord wreak havoc many years ago, the humanity barely survived. I heard, the kingdom summoned heroes to deal with it. And this year, I don''t know when, but the heroes may be summoned from another world to deal with the demon lord and bring peace."


    "Heroes?!"


    As he heard that, his eyes gleam. That''s what the sh was, that must be the summoning circle, and maybe an ident happened and he woke as a slime.


    "Whoa! Why are you so excited to hear about heroes? If they see you, they will kill you without any warning."


    The little girl said.


    "..."


    "Anyway, when will we reach your town?"


    Ren said as he couldn''t see any source of life in this quiet forest. "And, is this forest always so empty? I mean, lifeless."


    "Hmm, we may reach the town in some minutes. And, I don''t know much about forests. Ie one or two times a year to harvest medical nts. I never encountered monsters, so I don''t know." Lina shrugged her shoulder and said cheerfully.


    "Oh."


    Tak! Tak! Tak!


    Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps reverberated. Ren raised his guard and stopped. Lina also halted her movement after seeing Ren.


    "What happened?"


    "I heard some footsteps."


    "Footsteps?" Lina tilted her head and tried to hear the footsteps. She did hear it but it was a faint sound.


    Ren being a slime, even the slightest vibration on the ground, he could feel it. His whole body is quite sensitive, and his body lotes any sound transmitted from the ground to his brain.


    Three men shirtless and only wearing brown trouser-looking clothes walked. Their eyes widen when they saw Ren and Lina.


    "Oh, oh. What have we here? A monster and a human." The bandit smiled, and his eyes fell on the bag in Lina''s hands.


    Seeing the bag full of medicinal herbs, his smile grew.


    "Why don''t we help you take you home safely. You can''t depend on your monster."


    The bandit said with a hoarse voice.


    Lina took a step back and hid behind Ren. Ren was confused, the bandit wasn''t that surprised seeing the monster and human together.


    So, taming monsters must be some kind of profession or may be avable in this world. Shaking his head, Ren focused on the bandits.


    ''Medical herbs must fetch quite a price. I think...'' Ren thought.


    "No! These are for my father. I won''t hand over this!" She yelled at the bandits. She must have understood their intention.


    "Oho. Then, we must raise our hands. Don''t worry, kid. We won''t hurt you. Your body is still useful to us. Hehehe"


    The bandit smiled creepily and licked his lips. He took out his sword and stepped forward. The two bandits stayed behindughing.


    "Boss, get them."


    "Get them" They cheered him and watched the action.


    Ren frowned and red at the bandit.


    The fight starts now!


    Round 1 - Fight!


    Sssssssssssss!


    The sword pierced the air and arrived before Ren''s eyes. But he didn''t move at all, he opened his mouth and...


    Burp!


    "The sword doesn''t taste that good..." Renined crunching the metal.


    "Wha-"


    The bandit''s hand raised midair, his opened mouth and his widened eyes, he was stunned. He instantly returned back to his sense and retracted his hand embarrassingly.


    Ren spread his body and caught the bandit.


    "Aaaarrrrg!"


    The bandits screamed. Ren easily crushed his bone, like a snake that kills its prey before eating, he killed the bandit in one crush and devour it.


    The two bandits'' trembled. They sat on their butt, with a terrified expressions on their face.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "What happened now? Did you lose your little balls?" Ren mocked with an evil smile. He crawled at them slowly while covering the girl''s eye. This content is not for kids!


    AAAaaaaahhhhhh!


    Dreadful screams echoed, one spine would shiver when they heard this scream.


    "I am full."


    Ren said with a satisfied expression on his face. His brain tingled.

    Ren smiled.


    "Let''s go."


    Lina said after controlling her emotion and calming herself down. Walking down the forest, they arrived near a ce.


    A huge wall stood on the ground with a huge door closed. The small door built in the huge door was for the people.


    Guards stood on the top of the wall, or inside the gate. They don''t guard from the outside.


    "This is my town!" Lina eximed.


    "Ohh!" Ren''s eye sparkled looking at the fantasy-style wall. He calmed down and opened his mouth. "Ok, I will return now. Be careful."


    "Ok!"


    Ren slid through thend and disappeared from the sight of Lina. She hung her head felt little sad, but raised her arms and walked toward the wall.


    On the other hand, Ren slide through various part of the forest looking for other species. Except for wolves, he couldn''t find any other monsters or beasts.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, an arrow came out of nowhere andnded on the ground. It missed Ren by a hair. Ren raised his guard and jumped backward.


    He scanned the roots and saw an arrowing toward his way.


    "Ahhh!" Ren opened his head and devoured the arrow. The archer''s eyes widen seeing that.


    Ren saw the direction of the way, so he used a slide to slide through the tree and crawled upward. The archer jumped and ran, but Ren didn''t sit idle. He used swift and instantly closed the distance between him and the archer.


    He stretched his body and stuck at the archer''s back.


    "Ah!" A sound escaped the archer''s mouth and lost their bnce.


    "Aaaaaa!!"


    She cried helpless, as she fell down.


    Boink!


    The ground hit a sticky substance. Ren''s body was like spring that made them fly upward again. This time, Ren didn''t stick to the archer''s body and jumped upward.


    Higher than the archer, Ren looked closely at the archer. Covered in a ck dress like an assassin, the archer covered its entire body.


    Rennded on the archer''s chest as the archernded.


    "Ouch!"


    "Huh?" As theynded, Ren felt soft.


    "Huh?" The archer''s mask fell, which revealed a face of a beautiful girl.


    Ren who was stuck on her chest identally ripped apart her ck clothing, which revealed her beautiful white skin.


    Two huge melon wrapped in bandage-like clothe was seen. Ren sitting in the middle of those melons could feel the warmth and softness despite being restrained by the bandages.


    "So soft~" Ren''s expression softened. If he was a human, he would have got a nosebleed by now.


    The softness mixed with his own softness made it even more stimting. His breathing was haggard, and he squirmed.


    "Wait, don''t move. Ah!" A soft moan escaped her mouth and she immediately closed it.


    Ren unwrapped the bandage and felt the skin directly. The pink cheery on top of the melon, Ren rubbed it directly with his own skin.


    "Ah! Mhmm! S-STOP!!!"


    Feeling pleasure, her cherry erected. She felt embarrassed as her cheeks turned bright red. She stood and pushed Ren back forcefully which made him hit the tree.


    "Hmph!" The girl snorted. "Pervert Slime!!!"


    The girl yelled at Ren and jumped toward the tree. She escaped quickly as hell!


    Ren on the other hand felt his entire body hot.


    "That was so soft, and looked... delicious." A hor*y smile escaped Ren''s lips.


    Ren sighed and calmed down.


    He felt his body brimming with energy. He need only some consumption and he will evolve to the next level.
