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

***{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 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!

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. “Was this how it went?”He was carefree, he felt free, he felt powerful.‘Ah, what a beautiful day…’ he thought.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 thousand unseen eyes pressing on him.Clinton’s i

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
Chapter 55: The Monster Domain [14]
It was a new day in the Monster Domain.Clinton stepped out of his bastion, his skeletal frame gleaming under the dim light that filtered through the thick canopy of the Monster Domain.Unlike before, when every step had been cautious and wary of apex predators, this time he moved with the confidence of a seasoned hunter.After crafting new weapons, repairing damaged ones, upgrading his best weapon, and repairing his bastion for a whole day yesterday, now, he was ready to enter the depths of the Monster Domain again to hunt.His newly upgraded Magedon, Light Slayer pulsed faintly in his grip, its power source, the very heart of the Dreadclaw Behemoth now fully integrated.With every movement, he could feel the weapon’s latent power thrumming through his bones, waiting to be unleashed.Today was different.No apex predators, no reckless challenges.He wanted just a pure hunt, a methodical extermination of the lesser creatures that roamed the Monster Domain.Today was not a daredevil da
Chapter 54: The Monster Domain [13]
When Clinton forged the Light Slayer, he found himself in a special state of mind that he had never experienced before then.Just after suffering the heartbreak of an identity crisis, shunned and rejected by humans, while dealing with that, he still had to fight for his life against the same humans who came after his life.With his life on the line, he started forging his weapon.He forged Magedon, Light Slayer in a life and death scenario, a special state of mind where the result of his work had the capacity to decide his life and death.Clinton was not in quite that unique state of mind at this moment, but compared to that time, his craftsmanship skills already improved by a lot.Not just that, having accepted his identity as a skeleton already, his conviction when it came to surviving was firmer than ever before.And since crafting a better, stronger weapon would help in his survival, Clinton approached this new test with a determined mind.He entered a special state of focus where
Chapter 53: The Monster Domain [12]
Absorbing the apex power stored in the Dreadclaw Behemoth’s heart was a totally unknown theoretical framework that Clinton had no prior empirical experience with, still he wanted to test it out.And the results?It was actually a success.By absorbing part of the power stored inside the heart, Clinton felt his skeleton physique improve. His bones became denser, harder to break.His energy regeneration also improved.He could now partially store latent energy from fallen enemies, potentially unlocking new abilities in future battles.And finally and most important of all, Clinton felt his connection to the mystical energy of this dungeon become closer than ever before.He could feel it, the subtle connection with the arcane.He shivered in excitement. “Is this… m-magic?” He stammered.Clinton had no idea if he was right but it didn’t matter, the possibility of it alone was enough to leave him extremely excited.Even after all these gains, there was still a lot of power contained inside
Chapter 52: The Monster Domain [11]
By the time Clinton finished harvesting all that he wanted, he had amassed a treasure trove of materials.The mana-infused hide for armor and energy-draining properties, the apex talons, razor-sharp, ideal for forging deadly melee weapons, the Behemoth’s core, a crystallized heart, a potential power source for his mythical weapon, and then the predator fangs, perfect for crafting venomous blades or reinforced spears.Clinton was beyond satisfied.He stood over the ruined corpse, weapons in hand, mind brimming with ideas.The monsters still watched from the distance, but none dared step forward.Not yet.Not while the true predator was still standing.Clinton chuckled.He had hunted an apex.Now, it was time to craft like one.He left.…Clinton returned to his ruined stronghold, standing amidst the crumbling debris, shattered walls, and the remnants of his last battle.His bastion had saved his life, but it wasn’t enough.The Dreadclaw Behemoth had ripped through his defenses, exposin
Chapter 51: The Monster Domain [10]
Clinton exhaled slowly, his sockets glowing with eerie satisfaction.“Not so tough now, huh?”He had done it. He had killed another apex predator, one that was vastly more terrifying than the previous one.And now?If it hadn’t already, now, the Monster Domain would know his name.…The Monster Domain was ruled by savagery, but it was also governed by unspoken laws of nature, one of which was simple.Only fools steal from an Apex Predator.When Clinton had killed the Screecher Fiend, smaller creatures had quickly swarmed its corpse, drawn by bloodlust and scavenger instincts.But now?Now, the monsters of the domain lingered at a safe distance, watching but not approaching. They dared not.They could smell death, but more than that…, they could smell the executioner carrying the mandate of death.The Dreadclaw Behemoth’s killer still stood beside its corpse.And none dared to challenge him for it.For the first time since arriving in the Monster Domain, Clinton truly built a name for
Chapter 50: The Monster Domain [9]
Clinton stood among the rubble, his entire body cracked, shattered, barely holding together.But he was alive.The Behemoth?Buried. Maybe dead. Maybe not. But one thing was certain…It had lost.And Clinton?He had just survived a battle against a terrifying apex predator.He looked around at the damage to his bastion, his supposed safe zone, now torn apart. A slow, dry chuckle escaped him.“Well… guess I need to rebuild”.But as he stared at the ruins, a new thought entered his mind.‘If I could survive that…’‘…What else am I capable of?’…Clinton rested for an hour, and then, he looked at the rubble.He had survived, yes.That alone was a feat no lesser monster could claim in the Monster Domain, but survival wasn’t enough. Not anymore.As he stood amidst the rubble of his bastion, his bones cracked and fractured, his weapons chipped from battle, he knew that this wasn’t over.The Dreadclaw Behemoth still lived.And now, it knew his scent.It knew his tactics.And most worrying of
Chapter 49: The Monster Domain [8]
It was just so easy to get used to living as a beast.In Clinton’s case, as a skeleton.With his bastion secured, Clinton moved through the Monster Domain with newfound confidence.He was no longer just a wandering skeleton, struggling to survive.Now, he had a sanctuary, a stronghold, a place to retreat and regroup if things went south. Which meant he could take bigger risks.Clinton decided to go out hunting again.For hours, he tracked his next target, weaving through the crimson wastelands and fossilized battlegrounds that marked the domain of apex predators.He wanted something stronger than the Screecher Fiend, something that could push him to his absolute limits.Afterall, to him, it was not just a battle for survival again. Clinton already adapted to this world, he was willing to integrate with the ecosystem, and this was what pushed him into the hunt for glory.This time, he was hunting for glory.He wanted to challenge another apex predator.And then, he found it.Or rather…
