"Fuck, where are you running to, damn cowards? What's the point of obtaining hero cards when all you're going to do is run away at the sight of monsters? It's even more annoying to think that all of you have been to different expeditions before and you possess high rankings. You guys are the ones giving heroes bad reputations," Franklin yelled at the three-plus heroes trying their best to run away at the sight of these monsters.While yelling, he sent a bolt of lightning towards a monster trying to attack a hero who was preoccupied with another monster. The scene was as chaotic as it can get. Their only hope to survive is the arrival of the other team who are most likely on their way here right now. Franklin tried his very best to help other young heroes while keeping an eye out for intervention of other monsters.These monsters were of different types, sizes, and powers. Most were as tall as buildings, and most were as short as humans, and most even used flame magic."Sasha, get up.

Hearing the voices of those people rejoicing made the young heroes feel what Grim Blade was talking about earlier. Those people in the room didn't even mind that it was newbie heroes coming to save them; they rejoiced non-stop as though it was someone very powerful and popular."Sasha, take that entrance; you, you, and you go with her. Three of you go to the other building; go in each building in threes, alright," Franklin gave orders.Liam, this time, is teaming up with Franklin and Jason.However, he did not notice any hostiles from Jason this time; Jason didn't even mouth out foul words.'Weird,' Liam thought to himself as he picked up the pace, racing after Franklin.'He is too damn fast; I can't even keep up with his minimum speed even when I'm running at my peak speed,' Liam thought to himself as he chased after the speeding figure of Franklin.Once they got closer to the entrance of the 10-storey building, Franklin shot out a bolt of lightning towards the door, taking it down a

"Hey, dummy, you are late for our date."Grim Blade heard that voice as he almost gave up everything. The voice was feminine, angelic, and carried a lovely touch with it. The familiarity in the voice made him realize who it was almost immediately."Pink Beauty??" His mouth struggled to form that name as he opened his eyes.Behold, floating midair close to him was the embodiment of his fondest dreams. This stunning lady, with her long cascading pink hair, was a vision of elegance. She had a heavenly shape hidden in her gracious silvery armor that seemed to shine in this moment of literal darkness.Clutched firmly in her hand was a glowing pink spear, its radiance matching the brilliance of her presence. The soft, mesmerizing light it emitted cast a warm and enchanting aura around her, making her seem like a celestial being.She turned and gave him a smile; this smile took away all the despair he felt earlier. His mouth widened into a bright smile even in the tight grip of this embercla

Liam and the others soon arrived at CGH. During their journey, everyone in the jet was quiet. None of them was willing to start a conversation with one another or even lift the heavy mood. Even though they had won, everything that took place still played on repeat in their feeble minds."Welcome, young heroes!" A beautiful female voice sounded as they all stepped into a beautiful white hall."You have all embarked on your first mission and succeeded in it. That is such a great feat. It shows that our young heroes will grow to be as formidable as the current hero generations," the voice continued.Liam looked around the room to find who was speaking, but there was no one in sight. However, he noticed the speaker on the wall to the right side of the room."You all don't have to be worried about your performance. Others of your level didn't survive their first mission, and they didn't even perform as well as you guys did, even on their fifth and tenth expenditures.""We don't want to tak

The next day quickly arrived for Liam. Throughout the night, he spent his time training his martial arts skills. He practiced the raining kicks and punches like a king until his hands and legs were too weak to carry on with the exercise.However, he did not stop training his body. He felt the need to do this at this moment because, why wouldn't he? Just yesterday, he witnessed death and saw many corpses of heroes stronger than him.If it weren't for the intervention of the 5-star hero, Pink Beauty, then he wouldn't be standing here right now.Dungeons are the major source of wealth, but they also come with attached dangers, and death is one of the major ones."My body feels stronger after the exercise last night. Also, my weak, thin, and unhealthy body is slowly disappearing the more I train," Liam observed his bare upper torso and muttered to himself.It is the early hours of the morning, 5 AM to be precise. He was getting ready for his early morning jog."I have made it a habit to a
