Badump! Badump!

Clinton was a skeleton; he was supposed to have no heart.

But at this moment, as he finally got a moment of reprieve for the first time in like forever as reward for his efforts and determination, he hallucinated.

Clinton could hear something like a heart rapidly beating in his mind.

If he was still a human, at this moment, he would be hyperventilating.

This feeling made him remember one of the closest competitive races of his life in the track in his previous life when he went up against one of his fastest opponents ever, a prodigy who once represented an opponent school.

‘D-did I do it?!’ Clinton thought incredulously, unable to believe it, but then…

Thud!

The Stone Ogre collapsed; it was dead.

This was all the evidence that he needed.

He killed it.

Somehow, against all odds that were against him, Clinton managed to rise from the ashes of death to kill this formidable level 3 monster.

0.1 HP…, that was how much of his vitality was left at the end.

That low, even a me

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

    ***{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

    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

    ***{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

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

One hit from the level 5 apex predators could still leave him on the brink of death, this was why he was extra careful.Even more with an opponent like an un

What the f*ck!’‘Did I just do that?!’‘Did I just tear down the walls of this cave with a single strike?’The mere thought of it sent tingling feelings of excitement through his bones.This was no simple achievement.Afterall, this was not any cave in the decaying forest.

    ‘Huh? How am I even supposed to do this?’While Clinton asked this question in his mind, the Stone Ogre who was frustrated to see that it was not crushing the tiny creatures before it suddenly jumped, hitting the roof of this cave then it came crashing back down with force.It hit the ground with devastating force, then…KABOOM!…Earthquake Stomp!Hitting the humans with one of its trademark active skills, this powerful Stone Ogre caused a literal earthquake as the humans staggered.Watching the tiny creatures stagger disorderly, some even panicking, the Stone Ogre’s eyes gleamed deviously as it chomped down with its sharp stone teeth at one of the humans.But at the last moment, a dagger crossed its path.Clang!The clear ringing sound of 2 hard objects colliding reverberated.It was the level 12 human.In the world of this dungeon, to combat the powerful beasts, humans evolved, awakening different powers under myriad classes.Some awakened as mage classes, others as assassin classes

    Chapter 32: In the lair of a level 5 Stone Ogre

    In the decaying forest, what were Stone Ogres?Stone Ogres were the most terrible of the 3 types of monsters that took the first level of this dungeon, the decaying forest as their home.The Green Goblins were the weakest, their main weaknesses being their vulnerable skin and weak strength.It was why they hurdled together in the biggest packs.The Undead Trees had tough hides but this was undone by their blatant weakness to fire. With fire, they become vulnerable.As for the Stone Ogres though, they were the real OGs of the decaying forest.They had stone skin as tough as nails. They were slow, but their impenetrable defense more than made up for it.They were literal tanks.Of the 3 types of monsters in the decaying forest, the Stone Ogres were the only types brave enough to move alone around this forest, even the lower-leveled ones. They were scared of no one.In a way, they were the apex predators of the decaying forest.And right now, Clinton was now hiding in the lair of one of

Though he carried the best of the best with him there, he still had a stockpile of weapons in his safehouses under a mound of sand.After losing his best weapons, he now set his sight on the reserve.Rush

    “He’s still alive”.“He’s there”.Clinton raised his head and saw… humans.He raised his head right in time to notice one of the more overenthusiastic humans reveal his head past the boundary of the world of light into the slope, into the boundary of the decaying forest only to be affected by a strange dark power.This power seemed to have rotting properties.“Ahhh!”The young human who seemed inexperienced immediately grabbed his face in horror as the other humans reacted.“You fool, stand still!”Clinton recognized that human. It was the lady among the first 3 humans he met in this world that was a mage.Raising her staff up, she spoke a word as green light left her staff, coalescing on the face of the other human as the strange dark power was expelled.His skin that also started being eroded by the dark power was healed.‘Healing magic’. Clinton deduced immediately. ‘But why?’Thinking deeper into it, he understood. ‘Humans are not allowed in the world of darkness?’He was puzzled

    Chapter 29: Reconciliation

    Clinton was subjected to the greatest reality check of his 18 years of existence.For the first time in his life, he was made to understand that he was nobody.For the first time in his life, he was made to understand where he stood in the grand scheme of things.He was made to understand that he was just a cog in the grand wheel of existence, a cog that could be rejected and discarded at wheel.For the first time in his life, he felt ugly.For the first time in his life, he understood rejection.All these were things and emotions that Clinton had never experienced in his 18 years of existence before now and as expected, experiencing it was draining.“Uhh,” Clinton groaned as his hollow eyes looked at the gloomy skies of this forest. “Now would be a good time to end it all, right?”As soon as he muttered that, he let the seed of thought generate in his head, watered by his emotions as it blossomed into a sapling and then a big tree.The idea of committing suicide was getting more prom
