*jump*

*jump*

A silhouette of someone can be seen running and leaping from one tree to another in a forest where giant trees and plants are clustered together.

"I'm a light and fast boiii."

Siphex was astounded by his new body upgrade as he landed from a great height with no injuries. He felt a lot lighter and faster. "I'm not sure if this body is just this strong. Or maybe it's just that my stats are all maxed out. In any case, i was disappointed at first but now, I'm grateful to whoever provided me with all of the stats. This is so good." He said this while looking at his metallic sharp hand and then at a tree in front of him.

"60 strength, I wonder if..." Siphex said as he dashed at the tree and punched it with all his might.

*Bangg*

As his punch left a deep gash in the tree trunks, the entire tree shook, causing a loud shockwave to reverberate across the jungle, while leaves and dust fell from the tree around Siphex.

Siphex smiled as he watched what his punch caused, he hadn't expected having 60 stat points to be this effective.

"I'm sure I could beat that ghoul without breaking a sweet......Wait a minute, if strength at 60 can make me this strong, what about other states? Is it normal to have all of them maxed out? I believe I should be equally strong in all aspects provided by the other stats, Speaking of which," he said, recalling that his class had set two attributes as primary, and he wanted to know how his class relied on stats and what exactly changed in them, so he knew where to distribute his future points, if that was even possible.

< main Attributes are set to CHA, INT >

"INT is important for any spellcaster, but I expected WIS?" But what about CHA?

"How would charisma be beneficial?"

He reflected as he examined additional details.

<

- STR ( Strength: each point add 2.6 percent physical damage and 0.5 percent stamina )

- VIT ( Vitality: each point will add 10 Health )

- DEX ( Dexterity: each point will increase reflex, speed, and accuracy by 1.2 percent )

- INT ( Intelligence: each point add 2.6 percent magic damage & accuracy.)

- WIS ( Wisdom: each will increase control, mana efficiency, and mental defense by 1%.)

- CHA ( Charisma: each point increased influence, persuasion and charm by 0.5% )

< Main Attributes set to INT & CHA >

( INT and CHA are 20% more effective, all other stats are 30% less effective )

"That explains a lot... So my punch..my entire strength was 30 percent less effective than 60... hmmm influence, persuasion, and charm, now I get it. A logical stat to have for an illusionist, which is fantastic. :D yay "Siphex stated Sarcastically as he wanted to try one more thing before proceeding with the trial.

Siphex took a stance and readied himself " Time to check out wicked touch " as he attempted to activate the skill but was met with a completely different notification.

< Insufficient souls > Imagination: wicked touch use failed >

"Yeah yeah, I knew it. I thought maybe there would be some cool visual effect or something under the question marks would active lol, but I suppose I'll have to find something to kill first. for now, let's see how fast iam "Siphex said as he took off as fast as he could.

...

..

.

He hadn't seen any living beings other than trees and plants in the last hour as he wandered through the forest at random.

After a long period of not knowing what to do, he noticed a tree in the distance that appeared to be much larger than the rest of the trees nearby.

"Now that I've gotten used to this, let's try something I've always wanted to do," said Siphex as he began running toward the big tree. attempting to scale it all the way to the top

*wesh*

As he neared it after a few minutes of running, he noticed that the tree appeared much larger up close. "It's been a while and I haven't found any clue... let's see if I can see something climbing something as high as this," Siphex said, leaping and grabbing the tree with his sharp claws.

Siphex wasn't fatigued after a long climb, but he was bored, and when he finally reached the top, his efforts were rewarded. The view astounded and stunned siphex because it was gorgeous.

The sky was clear and blue, with clouds matching the beauty of the trees that stretched across the horizon as far as his eyes could see; there were also boulders and pieces of dirt loaded with flora floating in the sky. It was a lovely scene.

"This is far too nice and quiet for a trial; how come I haven't encountered any beasts?" siphex tried to recall what the guardian had said. He took a look at the amulet he was holding.

"Hmmm, I tried wearing and inspecting this several times, but nothing has happened.... Since the trial is strangely empty, I suppose just this is the key to it," Siphex reasoned as he gazed up at the sky.

" It's been a long time since I've been here, yet it's still daylight."

It's interesting that no matter how much time passes, he notices that the sun never sets or moves, as if time has stopped.

"Ahhh, the fresh air, even though I can't see colors just yet. I know this is one of the most beautiful and peaceful views I've ever seen, i kinda feel a little hungry" said Siphex as he sat and admired the view for a while.

"perhaps I should wait for a change or just look for further evidence relating to this amulet at random. However, with the exception of trees, I am unable to see anything."

As if responding to his previous statement, Something shiny caught Siphex's attention in the distance at the time, and he narrowed his eyes in delight.

" Let it be food or fight, im down " Siphex smirked as he immediately leapt down and began advancing toward the shimmering object, having memorized its exact location.

Siphex approached quickly but cautiously, and as he got closer, he came to a halt when he sensed a presence ahead. He was getting ready for battle and going at a slower speed as he approached the presence.

As he got closer, he was greeted by the sight of a camp in a shady clearing adjacent to a river.

    As he got closer, he was greeted by the sight of a camp in a shady clearing adjacent to a river. "Is this a camp, and is there anyone else here? I can't believe it; I thought I was the only one "Siphex said as he took a cautious step into the clearing toward the camp. " Hello, anyone here?" said Siphex as he looked around and surveyed the camp. A tattered tent, the remains of a fire, and several leathers hung on a rope next to the tent were all there. Right next to the tent was a tree with a ladder leading to a small shack on top that resembled a watchtower, with a weapon holster filled with wooden sticks and a steel apear, which Siphex assumed was what reflected the sunlight from afar. The camp was empty but had recently been used. As he searched around for the presence, he noticed it was a little further ahead. As

    The sun was high in the sky, sending rays through the clouds. In the quiet wasteland, many rocky boulders were strewn about. a group of people were walking faster together, glancing around as if they were being cautious. They haven't gotten any sleep in two days. The sage and the squad of 6, consisting of two archers, muck, El'minor, Alric, and the sage, began pursuing the source of energy the next day after resting at the previous campfire. They were unexpectedly ambushed and attacked by high-tier inflicted. And the closer they approached to the source, the more they sensed its intensity, and the more they were assailed by more and more inflicted As he looked about at everyone, the sage remarked, " It's here, the source is right around that hill, i suggest Before going in and approaching the source, we need to find somewhere safe to rest. As he sat and sought refuge under one of the boulders shades. " be careful, there should be some in

    "EVERYONE ,GET OUT OF HERE QUICKLY" As he produced a magical dome just in time, the sage shouted. *Bang* A powerful Aura attack slammed into the dome barrier, generating a massive explosion that was too rapid for others to perceive. It's fortunate that the sage recognized it in time. " Everyone swiftly assemble around me, we are aborting the mission right now," the sage shouted as everyone began retreating gently toward the sage while keeping an eye on the inflicted around them. "Sage? What exactly is this? I'm feeling it right now, too; if it's who we think it is, we can't afford to confront them right now. Muck, go grab Dean. We have to escape as far as we can immediately, so El'minor and the Marksmen will try to block the inflicted from approaching us." What they swiftly gathered around the sage who was attempting to keep the Dome

    it's been a long while Since Siphex and Toruk left the camp walking. Siphex was delighted that for once he had someone with him who could aid him with his boredom as they passed through the same quiet forest. " So, you're toruk, right?" "Would you mind telling me more about how you ended yourself here?" As he walked behind Toruk, staring at the trees, Siphex inquired. " I've already told you, demon, about the mor en. I was a mercenary who ended up here by accident. Toruk answered, "I don't understand why a demon would care about my past," as he continued trudging through the bushes, occasionally using his battleaxe to clear the route. " As you can see, I've lost part of my memories, so I'm wondering as to how you came to be here. "And why are you and others as you claimed are so eager to complete this trial?" siphex enquired This is the first time when Siphex ask

Arrived in sight"Stupid orcs, these aren't ghosts," Siphex muttered as he charged at the approaching enemies.They appeared to be dark balloon-like monsters with two clawed hands as he looked at them. Siphex figured out why Toruk thought they were ghosts as their figure floated on the ground.'Couldn't turok have just inspected them? 'How can I see their information here when I can't see his outside?' Siphex pondered as he examined his strange-looking enemies.&n

It began to whirl, becoming a tornado that flew straight at the dark elf.The dark elf sprinted to the side and slashed at the impending attack, but it was detonated with a powerful force before he could make a distance, throwing the dark elf backwards and slamming into the sand dune.Except for a few burn marks, scratches, and blood trailing down his lips, the dark elf appeared undamaged." Elzodaneh berha' Ono reh, I appreciate your courage, elf, but..." The dark elf stated, "I believe the battle is already over." Taking a look at Alric's injuries his expression formed a smirk.Panting and huffing Alric stood there bruised and battered, most of his entire upper torso covered in black charred skin that sizzled as blood dripped from his wounds.

    Siphex smiled brightly as he walked back to the fountain, delighted with his muscular strength and recent leveling binge. He discovered a random two shades hiding in the cave close to the fountain when he entered the cave and approached the fountain. They put their hands together and bowed as they made way for Siphex and swiftly left the cave the instant they noticed him approaching. " That's right, little shits," Siphex chuckled. Looking at the shade's unusual behavior. "So, how can I get out of here? I forgot to inquire about that orc... Is it okay if I drink from this one as well?" Siphex said this as he bent down and sipped from the fountain once more. * Wiziz* Siphex found himself back in the cave next to Toruk as he slowly opened his eyes after being blinded by a dazzling light. "Lovemaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    "Before we go any further and pass through the ruins". Toruk turned around and glanced at Siphex, "I need to describe what will happen, or at the very least what happened the last time my companions and I went through this phase."" What are you talking about?" Siphex retorted." Mel ak bel demon, The Sprign. "We'll fight it here," Toruk declared." Do we have to battle it with the seal as well?" Siphex was curious."Em yur uk, with or without the seal." To get out, we'll have to fight it. "The seal, on the other hand, will make things much easier for us," Toruk stated as he stretched and took up his battleaxe."So, how do you think the fight would go? And, just to be clear, how would the seal assist us? "Siphex inquired, leaning against a nearby tree." The Sprign. It's not your typical monster. He has a high level of expertise wh

    "I'm tired of going through all of these gates and corridors, as well as all of these markings and dents; there has to be something behind this gate; it won't hurt to try," Siphex reasoned as he dug deeper into the wall. Siphex considered using the pickaxe at first, but it snapped in half after a few strokes due to its rustiness. Using his claws and fists to continue digging through the wall, he eventually managed to build a hole the size of a little ball, which could only fit his arm. "These Walls appear to be harder than they appear; what are they built of?" "This isn't an ordinary stone," Siphex grumbled as he peered through the hole to peer behind the wall. "Woahh, there are so many various items strewn about? Who closed the gate in the first place? Isn't there supposed to be a lever or something nearby?" Siphex could see several gold nuggets and mana stones, as well as other things, scattered on the ground, but he could also see that the chamber on the other side was much larg

    in front of his eyes, a big boulder covered in plants and cracks in the distance that looked like the letter L loomed tall between the dense woods up ahead.As he closed the map and jumped down from the tree, Siphex thought, "Now it makes sense."Walking toward the unusual enormous rock, Siphex had to pass through tall shrubs and plants till he reached it; the strange stone was resting on the mountain, and next to it was a trace of faded stone floor with broken stairs leading toward the mountain. A large square stone wall with a massive locked rusted gate that was covered in mud and foliage awaited him at the end.Walking up the stairwell and approaching the rusted gate, Siphex noticed that, despite its rusted and worn appearance, the gate had been opened numerous times recently. as He could see a variety of footsteps dispersed across the stony, fractured ground." This must be the maze's entrance, but strangely, it appears that people arrive here as well; were they sent by the alchem

    * splash" woahhh, I can't get enough of this taste, so few souls yet glad it helps with hunger," mused Siphex as he ate a small fox-like animal body while crouching next to a fallen tree trunk in the midst of the woods; after a while, he rose up and looked about.It was a quiet day, as the sun slipped through the many trees that covered the forest floor, and all Siphex could see in his surroundings were trees, trees, trees." I guess it should be that way, hope I'm on the right track," Siphex said as he shook and wiped his bloodied hands on a nearby tree trunk before pulling out the map the alchemist had given him and opening it."Let's see, it's just next to the river north of the mountain," sphiex grumbled as he studied the map, then he looked to his right and saw a mountain, "that's the mountain, so it should be that way," he determined as he stared in a certain direction, then he put the map aside and continued walking.It had been few days since he had left town, and he was read

Both sid and vrid wanted to run down the attacker and try to stop it, but they both sensed another attack approaching from behind them.

    A temperate big camp can be seen placed along the shoreline, encircled by many defenses and with hunderds of soliders, campfires, and tents under the silent curtain of night, just outside adjacent to the nourthern shores of Gran Mundora. Three individuals can be seen gathered around a tiny circular table with papers and maps thrown on it inside a larger tent stood above others strongly guarded by soldiers in the center of the camp. "Just as his grace had expected, the s ranked adventurers have sent their report from scouting the eastern part of the continent; you know, it's been a month since they were sent to scout the dark continent, and no one expected that they would be attacked by a group of strange humanoid type monsters at some point during their scouting." "As they struggled with the monsters, their scouting progress was significantly hindered, as the creatures have shown to be rather difficult to deal with. Surprisingly, the monsters worked in tandem, with some defending whi

    35- The Alchemist

    Siphex was hidden in an alley behind the line of stores as he exited the book store through the window. 'I can't believe that worked, they really went behind that decoy thinking it was me,' Siphex thought, his senses heightened as he checked his surroundings to ensure all was well.As soon as he was free of the stalkers, he quietly returned to the street and proceeded on his way to the alchemist.'How much further do I have to walk to get there?' Siphex, on the other hand, had been going into the same direction for quite some time. After a while, the road came to an end as he was greeted by a small clearing in a garden, with a few buildings facing the garden on all sides, one of which was a mid-sized building made of wood and stones, but there was something odd about it as a large tree was piercing through its roof, and it was also covered with plants and vegetations.'I guess the baron wasn't lying when he claimed i wouldn't miss it,' siphex thought as he reached the clearing and app

    "my kind? By that do you mean a challenger??" As he raised his brows, Siphex said." Oh no no, I already knew you were a challenger, but that wasn't my point, I meant your race," chuckled the baron as he slid a mug of wine in front of Siphex.'So he found out that Iam a monster, is this an ambush, is that why he requested me to follow him here?' siphex thought as he heard the man mention that he knows about his race and looked at the man pooring a cup of wine for himself. 'Was it these two, or was it someone else?' Siphex, on the other hand, cast a quick glance behind him at the two guys on the table and prepared to defend himself and flee at any minute." You seem disturbed, but don't worry, iam not your enemy. that's why I wanted to speak with you alone, dark elf," the man remarked as he smiled at Siphex before taking a sip of wine.'Wait, what?' So he mistook me for a dark elf, rather than a monster? 'How did he come up with that assumption?' Siphex was perplexed, but his gaze rema

    33- I know what you are

    Siphex rose up from the table and decided to leave the inn, thinking, 'I'm hoping the drake's horns would bring me enough mana stones.'As soon as Siphex had made up his mind about going to the alchemist, he stood up and walked away from the table, heading for the exit. However, as he walked between the tables toward the exit of the inn, he remembered the two suspicious guys from earlier and cast a glance in their direction while he was walking, but they were not there, since their table was empty.'Did they leave as well....eh?' Siphex's thoughts were interrupted, though. He acidently pumped into one of the servers who was holding a tray of beverages, forcing her to slip and drop the drinks on a nearby table crowded with individuals, as he was not paying attention." Ahhh," shouted the waitress as she leapt to her feet and apologized profusely to the guests at the table as she began to wipe up the spilt beverages.'Sh*t, forgot this place is too packed,' siphex mused as he shifted hi
