Against the much larger Stone Ogre, it was exposed to him how glaringly lacking his speed attribute was and how much it could contribute to victory in battle.By now, he already confirmed that the speed attribute did not just affect his running speed but his body coordination and reaction speed in battle.A high speed attribute was vital for him to win battles.If he had all the strength in the world but without the speed to hit his opponents accurately, it would inevitab
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 19: The hunter in the decaying forest
***{You have killed a level 4 Stone Ogre!}{You gained XP!}***Clinton managed to kill his first level 4 monster and soon enough, he learned one of the major differences between high-leveled monsters and lower-leveled ones in the decaying forest.Unlike the level 3 monsters and lower-leveled monsters that would respawn into this forest after mere hours of being killed, it took a full day, 24 hours for a level 4 monster to be respawned.Apart from the Gate Guardian of this level of the dungeon, after his exploration, Clinton was able to establish the number of high-leveled monsters.In the decaying forest, apart from the Gate Guardian, there were five level 5 monsters. A single level 5 Green Goblin, another level 5 Undead Tree, but three different level 5 Stone Ogres.Only in the highest level of this part of the dungeon did the Stone Ogres have the numbers superiority.This was likely because of their bloodline superiority.Compared to the other monster species, the Stone Ogres had
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 20: Battle against two level 2 Undead Trees! [1]
Somewhere in the decaying forest, a pack of 6 Undead Trees wandered, two of them being level 4 Undead Trees.Suddenly, this pack of Undead Trees stopped.They stopped because they stared at a handless skeleton.Right on their path, this handless skeleton stood, it’s hand from the elbow gone like they were never there.The skeleton had a big grin on its body skull as it stared at them.The Undead Trees were bewildered, until it spoke.“F*ck you”. Clinton taunted.“F*ck all of you!”And that was it.The Undead Trees may not know what f*ck you meant but they subtly understood emotion in words, and they knew that the emotion being portrayed by those words were clearly not friendly.This was a provocation!Whoosh!The Undead Trees immediately went after the skeleton angrily who on seeing their reaction turned around and shamelessly started running in the opposite direction.Even as he ran, he taunted. “Catch me if you can, f*ckers!”That was it, these Undead Trees were determined all of a

Taking the fight to an even stronger monster in the form of an Undead Tree was a bigger risk but Clinton had reasons for his confidence.He

Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 23: Back to the world of light
***{You have crafted a low-tier utility tool: Wooden Mask!}***Before embarking on his journey, Clinton did one last thing which was crafting his first utility tool.Despite the fact that for the past few days, the only things dominating in his skull were the decaying forest and its 3 different monsters, Clinton still had something else at the back of his mind, the world of light.He never forgot the world of light where he reincarnated into this world.That sensation of seeing nothing due to the overly bright light, it was traumatizing and when he conjoined it with his encounter against the Holy Knights, it only left him with more mental wounds.Despite his mental wounds though, Clinton was not deterred.He was determined to get stronger and to get stronger, he needed to beat the Gate Guardian which to him was directly proportional to going to that pile of bones to get a new weapon for himself.As for the reason why he took his time to craft a wooden mask?First, it was that sensat
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 24: A mythical bone?
***{You have come into contact with a mythical tool: Bone of Magedon, the Doom Knight!}{WARNING! You have broken the enchantment of light!}***“…”“…”“…..!”In total silence, Clinton paid attention to the notification that just superimposed with his vision through his miserable undead system.‘Huh?’‘A mythical bone?’Clinton finally raised the bone that he just picked up to look at it.It was the bone of the hand of a skeleton just like himself.He was surprised. ‘This guy, was he an undead skeleton just like me?’‘His name says he’s a Doom Knight, what the hell is that?’He was also curious. ‘Mythical, what does that mean? Is there a ranking for monsters and creatures in this dungeon?’And then he hit his head. ‘F*ck! I should have thought of this before now’.‘In games, there’s a ranking for most things including the power of monsters and creatures. I should have known that a similar setting would be used in this world. F*ck, I’m so slow’. He lamented.Holding this bone at this

***{You have come into contact with a god relic: Tail Bone of the Winter Dragon, Syrax the Dread!}{WARNING! You have broken the enchantment of light!}***‘Huh?’ Clinton stared in confusion. ‘A god relic?’CLICK!Right at that moment, amid a loud rumbling sound, the majestic door filled with enchanted runes was pushed open from the other side forcefully.Clinton looked, and then he froze.‘I-is that a human?!’What he saw made Clinton’s heart shudder.Out of not just fear, but dread, and also excitement.Clinton felt all these contrasting emotions at the same time because at this moment, before his eyes, he saw a mighty contingent of strange warriors rush into the corridor through the suddenly opened majestic door.As soon as he thought it, his miserable undead system confirmed it for him.Beep!***{Warning!

DING![You have gained an Ephiphany!][You have unlocked a new magic affinity: Ice Magic!][New Skill Unlocked: Frost Shard – Lv. 1]>Condense ambient cold mana into a sharp projectile of ice. Deals moderate damage and slows the enemy on hit.>Cost: 10 MP.>Cooldown: 5 seconds.Clinton trembled.He could feel it through his being, permeating through his bones like an eerie presence born of the arcane.He wasn’t a skeleton anymore.He was becoming something more.And the trial of Gravemaw was only beginning. The Gate Guardian was still as all-powerful as before, with no way to take it down.Unlocking 1 magic skill, even if it was his first magic skill did not make Clinton all-powerful all of a sudden. He was still the same, just with a new source of energy that he could tap into, and new and maybe better options in a battle.Could frost shard do anything to the Gate Guardian? Clinton doubted but at this moment, he didn’t focus on the magic skill itself.Rather, his attention was on the

They reached it at last…The Gateway to Damnation.Through a land scorched by magic, ripped by claws, and painted with the fury of apex predators, the trio; undead, elf, and man, arrived before an edifice that should not have existed.Even amidst the chaos of the Monster Domain, this structure stood apart.It was a gateway, but no ordinary door of stone or steel. It rose like the fang of a forgotten god, piercing the sky, forged from ancient obsidian laced with pulsing crimson veins of raw, condensed mana.It towered high above them, wide enough to let a dragon pass, tall enough to block the sun. Symbols etched in a dead language that burned to be looked upon slithered across its surface, never still, always shifting.The earth beneath their feet vibrated in tandem with its heartbeat.This was the threshold to the third level of the Dark World of the Dungeon of Azarick, the gateway of the Monster Domain.Clinton stumbled first into the clearing, skeletal frame rattling with every despe

‘Run!’This was the only thought screaming in Clinton’s mind as soon as he moved.At the moment, he was surviving in a dangerous battlefield.Any reckless movement he made could result in his death, exacerbated even more by the fact that his skeleton body was so damaged.This was why Clinton took his time after arriving at the decision to escape towards the gateway, searching for the opportunity to escape.If he was the focus of the Night Reaver’s attack, Clinton would be long dead, he won’t even have the chance to look for a chance to escape but luckily, he was not the target of attack which gave him some leeway to maneuver.Then came the question, where was the gateway?Clinton had no idea where the gateway to leave the 2nd level of the Dungeon of Azarick, the Monster Domain was but he had an advantage. That advantage was exploring a significant part of the Monster Domain already.Before deciding to settle down in his bastion, fortifying it, just like he did in the Decaying Forest, C

KABOOM!Clinton sat on the ground, dazed, staring, thinking.‘Is the world… coming to an end?’He stirred.His eyes blinked; blue flames weak in his hollow sockets. Pain rippled through his entire being; every joint fractured, every rib fractured. But he was awake.They say when Apex Gods fight, mortals cower in fear.Waking up and seeing what he saw, this was the first thought that came to Clinton as he stared in awe and horror.He saw the sky split with light.He heard the cries of battle, the sounds of gods clashing.And he felt it.The Night Reaver’s presence; still dominant, still alive, still coming.All it took was one moment for him to understand what happened, he was smart. ‘They took me, and met a true Apex Predator of the Monster Domain!’Clinton didn’t know how to feel about that. He didn’t know if he should feel lucky that his hunters didn’t succeed in abducting him, taking him to the World of Light, or if he should feel doomed to meet such a harrowing predator.While Cli
Chapter 60: The Monster Domain [19]
BZZZ!The Night Reaver’s presence spread through the world like a Divine, no, a descent of the Profane.Silence. Deafening, absolute silence.They dared not move.Vaelin Duskwhisper and Garrick the Red were not the best that their various races could offer, but both were battle-hardened warriors, veterans that had soaked their blades in the blood of beasts and monsters.With their supernatural senses, in one look, they could tell that this towering monster was just a level 15.And yet, yet… they felt like they were stuck in a quagmire.The aura of this monster was profane, suffocating.It seemed to curl around their necks like the body of a Python, crushing their windpipe, taking the breath out of them.It felt like looking at the Devil himself.Vaelin and Garrick didn’t speak. They didn’t need to.Their eyes met, and then…They moved.WHOOSH!Vaelin vanished into a blur of motion, his body slipping into shadows, every step a controlled explosion of speed and agility.Garrick’s boots

When the Skeleton entered its domain, it watched, in silence. Unmoving, too lazy, or maybe too exalted to step down to probe.While the skeleton settled into its domain, hunting, crafting, building a bastion, turning itself into an apex predator, it watched.When the skeleton started thriving, it also watched.And when the Human and Elf entered its domain, it also watched, with even greater intrigue this time.It was not everyday that new beings tended to enter its domain. It was bored to death in this world where it was the King, the sole Apex, and so when newcomers come, it tended to play with them for entertainment.And that was why it stayed, and watched.It watched the Elf and Human with unflinching focus, taking them as the newest source of entertainment in its boring world.It watched their every movement across its domain like a creep, stalking them silently from the shadows.It watched them move with professional ease. It watched them hunt, track, slaughter its minions, its m
Chapter 58: The Monster Domain [17]
The fight continued, brutal and relentless as everything exploded in a hurricane of steel led by the Elf and Human.BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!Loud booming sounds reverberated from inside Clinton’s bastion, the walls of the bastion struggling to resist the force of impact of the brutal battle.Clinton used every trick in his book, every card in his arsenal.He wove between shadows, utilizing his inhuman agility, but Vaelin matched him step for step, anticipating his movements with a frightening success rate.He tried to counterattack, but Garrick’s sheer physicality kept him on the defensive, each strike of that monstrous greatsword forcing him to retreat.Clinton was under pressure, all his bones groaning under the pressure.‘F*ck! F*ck it all!’‘What did I do to deserve this?!’‘Can’t they just leave me alone?’‘I-if only my Vampire passive skill was active…, but I need to kill first’.His red ember eyes gleamed, filled with desperation.The desperation to keep his life and freedom pushed hi
Chapter 57: The Monster Domain [16]
Clinton strode toward his bastion, feeling lighter than he had in days.His hunt had been successful, his weapons had never felt more refined in his grip, and he was finally beginning to grasp the brutal ecosystem of the Monster Domain. He was no longer just surviving; he was thriving now.And he was somehow making it look easy.His undead lips curled into something that would have been a grin if he still had flesh to stretch over his bones.As he walked, he hummed an old tune from the fragments of his past life.“Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb…”“Mary had a little lamb, and it’s mane was white as snow…”Clinton inclined his head, chuckling. “Is that how it went? Mane? Do lambs even have manes?”He was carefree, he felt free, he felt powerful.‘Ah, what a beautiful day…’ he thought, feeling at peace.But the moment he stepped inside his bastion; the world shifted.Bzzz!It happened instantly.A whisper of air, too quick, too precise.A feeling, like the weight of a th

Vaelin Duskwhisper and Garrick the Red’s POV…It was already days since Vaelin Duskwhisper, the Elvin assassin and Garrick the Red, the human mercenary descended to the Monster Domain as they navigated its treacherous expanse, tracking their target.The Monster Domain was unlike any world they had set foot in before.Vast, untamed, and seething with primordial violence, it was a land that belonged to monsters alone.Even the air itself was different, thicker, charged with an oppressive energy that weighed upon the senses like an unspoken threat.Vaelin Duskwhisper and Garrick the Red had braved many battlefields, but even they tread carefully here.They had entered the Monster Domain days ago, armed with only fragmented clues left in the wake of their quarry- the elusive undead craftsman.Every step forward was a test of endurance and guile, for the deeper they ventured, the more hostile the environment became.Tracking a skeleton should have been simple. Even with no heartbeat, no sce
