"Thank you for telling me all that."
Davis shook his head and said, "I promised you a question, so I'm only holding my end of the deal. Now, would you like to look at my wares?"Neo nodded and was about to know where his wares were when a notification popped before him.『 The Traveler House:The Sword of Elemental Fury—This blade has been imbued with the power of the elements, allowing the wielder to unleash devastating attacks. (Cost: 500 stat points)Boots of Elven Swiftness—These enchanted boots grant the wearer incredible speed and agility, making them perfect for quick getaways or chasing down enemies.

(Cost: 400 stat points) 』The things that appeared on the panel dazzled Neo, and he clicked on "The Sword of Elemental Fury."[Name:Sword of Elemental FuryDurability: InfiniteDamage: 250,000-300,000 +50% Elemental damage +200% critical damage 50% chance to stun the target 10% chance to instantly kill the targetAbility: Grants the user the ability to control elemental forces.Restrictions: None.]Neo was stunned by the first item that was on display and felt like his feet that were floating above the ground came back to it as he now knew that there was still a mountain beyond a mountain. (Someone stronger than him) He then looked at the cost of it and was puzzled."Stat points?""Oh, stat points are those that you allocate to your attributes and grow powerful."'𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦.' Neo said inwardly"How can I buy with stat points?""Just think, from which attribute or attributes, if you want the cost to be deduced from multiple attributes, to deduct the cost and the Tower will do that for you. And remember, all sales are final, so choose carefully."Neo nodded and scrolled through and stopped at a particular item.[Name: Battleweave Long coat.Description: A tightly woven coat that seems to shimmer in the light. The fabric is tough and offers some protection against attacks. The sleeves are adorned with runes that glow with an inner light.Stats: +30 Strength +10 Agility +20 Vitality +5 IntelligenceSpecial Ability:➠ Rune Fury: Once per day, the wearer can call upon the power of the runes to boost their strength even further for a short period. The effect lasts for 5 minutes and grants +50 bonus strength. After the effect wears cannot use the ability again for 24 hours. (Cost: 80 stat points).]Neo looked at it for a while, but shook his head as he couldn't afford it and was about to move forward, but then remembered that he had to clear the dungeon and now the potion effect wore off.He hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth."Mr. Davis, how many stat points does one essence sphere get me?"Davis looked at Neo in surprise and knew that he had more than one essence sphere and that was his target as well. He cleared his throat and said, "It is difficult to estimate like I said before, if the colour is faint then it'll not be much but you can shop for 300 stat points and let me tell you, the items you are seeing are the low level ones. When you enter the mid-level, look for me and I'll show you what genuine items are."Neo nodded as he took out the essence sphere which he got from the 4th floor and gave it to Davis as he asked, "How much is this one worth?"Davis examined the essence sphere for a while, then said, "With this one, you can shop for about 430 stats' points worth of items."Neo nodded and selected that and it appeared before him, The Battleweave Robe was a long coat-style robe made of a special black fabric that shimmered in the light. The fabric was lightweight and flexible, allowing for ease of movement during combat. The coat had a high collar that could be folded down if desired, and was fastened at the front with ornate silver buttons.He put on the coat as the battle armor he got as a reward was in tatters now because of his constant fight, so he removed that and draped over this one."A pleasant choice. It can be worn over any type of armor and it also looks cool. Oh, and it is made of Osmo-stone so its durability will return after some time. I say you found yourself a good item."Neo nodded as he scrolled down and bought a utility belt which was used for holding the weapon sheaths and potions.[Name: Utility BeltStats: +5 Agility +3 Strength +2 IntelligenceAllows the wearer to carry an additional small weapon or item.] (Cost: 15 stat points)Then he changed the boots as well as he found the ones that were better than the ones he had.[Name: Swiftwind BootsStats: Agility +4Movement speed +10%Jump height +20%Stamina Cost Reduction -10%➠ Dash: Allows the wearer to dash a short distance in any direction, useful for evading attacks or closing the distance to enemies quickly.Special ability:➠ Dash of the Wind: Once per day, the wearer can use a burst of wind to move around at an incredible speed for a short duration, allowing them to dodge attacks, escape danger, or quickly close the distance to an opponent.] (Cost: 110 Stat points)The boots were more expensive than the long coat but it was worth it because had had three extra skills now which he could use and especially the special ability of the boots was a life saving card.He kept scrolling down until he reached the portion where the potions were being displayed."This is a joke, right?"Neo was speechless as he looked at the rows upon rows of potions in front of him, but that was not what made him yell out loud. It was the price of these things that made him say that.[Potion of Regeneration (Restore 25% of health over 10 seconds)—1 stat pointPotion of Speed (+10% movement speed for 30 seconds)—3 stat pointsPotion of Invisibility (Become invisible in 60 seconds)—8 stat pointsPotion of Fire Resistance (Reduce fire damage taken by 50% for 30 seconds)—10 stat pointsPotion of Water Breathing (Breathe underwater for 2 minutes)—5 stat pointsPotion of Flight (Allows flight for 1 minute)—20 stat points.]These were still expensive, but when he saw the temporary boost potion that he had yearned for, on the list, it left him wanting to curse that store manager.[Low level Berserk Potion- (Increase all stats by 90 for 3 hours with a minor backlash)- 2 stat points.]Maybe Neo didn't know the value of the stat points. That was why he felt that the store owner cheated them.
『 Fifth phase of the Goblin King's Keep is starting. 』 Neo found himself teleported to a dimly lit chamber, unlike any he had seen before. The walls were lined with strange glyphs that glowed with an eerie, green light. The room was dominated by an enormous altar, made from a dark, twisted wood that stood at the center of the room. The goblin shaman was busy at work, chanting and pouring strange substances into a bowl on the altar. Next to that bowl was a huge green body, surrounded by candles and strange objects. The room was filled with the stench of sulfur and rotting flesh, and Neo could see piles of bones and other gruesome remains scattered about the floor. The shaman paid no attention to Neo's sudden appearance, lost in his dark work. Neo used [Inspect] on the shaman. [Name: Garbiri the Shaman Type: Goblin Shaman. Level: 22 Health: 10,000/10,000 Mana: 3,000/3,000 Attack: 200~250 Defense: 350~390 Magic Defense: 320~380 Skills: Blood Offering.] Neo was surprised that
Still gasping for breath, Neo looked at his health and was filled with shock and fear. He almost got one-shot, if not for the damage absorb ability of his equipment. His breath stabilized as he looked at the goblin king with wariness."What skill was that?" He asked himself as he again used [Inspect] and checked its skills.His gaze stopped at the special skill and thought about the chill he got before getting yanked away."Must be this one." He concluded, looking at [Fear Aura] as he gripped his sword, the other one was dropped during his flight. He moved toward where that sword was and picked it up, while thinking about how to deal with that skill.He didn't know how to remove the stun effect from himself, but he remembered the black aura rising from the goblin before that skill activated, so he had to use that window to get away from the monster.He gripped the swords tightly as the things got more dangerous than he evaluated them to be, and now he had to be more careful."Let's do
『 Level up!』『 Level 13 (123,000/409,600)』Goblin King gave him a hefty amount of experience. So much so that a player can level up several times. But he only leveled up once, not even midway through the next one. Still, he was happy that at least he leveled up.Then the ball formed from the "soul" of the goblin king and entered his body. Neo looked at it with bated breath, as he wanted to know what was going to happen now.There was only one line after his victory against the hobgoblin. Now he wondered if the line will disappear or not.The ball of "soul" merged with his core as the line on it glowed brightly.Neo held his breath, waiting for it to disappear, but it showed no sign of doing such a thing.Neo's expression was changing along with the glow that was dimming down. He looked at the core after the glow died down completely and found that the line was still there, but now it was rotating around the core like Saturn's ring.(minus the meteorites)This phenomenon gave him a brea
Neo opened his eyes after a while and found himself surrounded by a mist. He stood there in the eerie silence, he couldn't shake the feeling of unease that crept up his spine. It was as if the mist itself was alive and watching him, waiting for him to make a move. Neo's heart raced as he tried to make sense of his surroundings and figure out where he was and how he got there.As Neo walked towards the path, with a broken sword in his hand, that had opened up in the mist, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. He didn't know where he was, how he got there, and what awaited him at the end of this path. The mist that surrounded him was so thick that he couldn't see beyond a few feet. It was as if he was walking into an endless void, and the only thing guiding him was the path he was treading on.As he walked, he could feel the icy embrace of the mist on his skin. It was a chilling sensation that sent shivers down his spine. He was completely alone, and the silence was
Neo looked at the figure, stunned, not knowing what happened. He chose [Order], but somehow he also chose [Chaos]. He looked at the figure for an answer, who let out a chuckle and said, "Don't worry, the other voice was also you as well. Your soul is a little special and the one who spoke just now was your soul part who woke up during your adventure in the dungeon, I had to drag you in this dungeon to wake it up." Neo nodded in a daze, as he didn't get one word of the figure. His soul was special it was a part of him? Why didn't he know that? Just what the hell was going on? Neo felt his head hurting after hearing all of this. "Don't think too much, or you might have a mental breakdown. Time to meet your other half." The figure snapped its finger and Neo saw a new skill appearing before him. [Name: Soul Tandem Description: The user of this skill can connect their two souls within a single body, allowing them to communicate with each other and work in tandem. When activated, the
"Damn it, at least warn before you send someone out." Blaze raged as he kicked the goblin King's corpse. "Wasn't this bastard laughing too much? Tell him to do that now." "So it was you who affected me?" Neo asked as he remembered his rage and recklessness. "Bingo genius. My pleasure." "It was reckless." {Ask that corpse If I was.} Neo stopped conversing with Blaze, who was now communicating with him telepathically. {And don't move the lips, people will think that I'm mental.} Blaze said. Neo sat down, as he was still waiting for the system to give him his reward. While waiting for that, he opened his status panel to see the changes. 『 Status (1 of 2) Name: Neo Orpheus Class: None Level 13 (123,000/409,600) Title: None Health: 1,020/1,020 Mana: 580/580 Strength: 76 + 33 Agility: 59 + 19 Stamina: 68 Intelligence: 51 + 7 Vitality: 82+ 20 Perception: 7 Luck: 33 + 20 Unallocated points: 0 Spells: Isolated Space Creation.

{…} Neo held the egg in his hands, he couldn't help but marvel at its appearance. The surface of the egg was a glossy, deep blue, with intricate markings etched in silver. The markings seemed to shimmer and glow in the light, giving the egg an almost mystical quality. As he turned the egg over in his hands, he noticed it was slightly warm to the touch, almost as if something was alive inside. Neo wondered what kind of creature was growing inside this egg? He had never been much of a pet person, but something about this egg was intriguing to him. As he continued to examine the egg, he noticed a faint crack appearing along the surface. Neo gasped in surprise as the crack grew wider and wider, revealing a small, furry head trying to poke out from within. He watched in amazement as the creature struggled to break free from its shell, its movements becoming more frantic with each passing moment. As the shell of the egg cracked and fell away, Neo gazed in wonder at the creature that emer
He strolled with Selene, empty streets, crickets chirping, a peaceful wind blowing and the stars and moon in the sky gave the whole stroll a romantic feeling. Neo and Selene kept walking as he held her hand, a sweet smile on Selene's smile, which could melt even the Nether Iceberg. Neo felt a strange peace and said to her, "Thank you." They arrived at a small hill, waves crashing against its foot. Selene used her hand and slowly put the waving hair behind her ear, asking, "What for?" "Everything." "Didn't you already thank me?" "But it's still not enough." Neo sat down. Selene followed as she grasped his shoulder and put his head over her lap. A smile followed as she used her hand to massage her head. "You charmed me with this." A small chuckle left her mouth as she laughed lightly. Selene was a person who was conservative and that followed with her emotions as well, as she showed too little of them to anyone unless she was alone with Neo, as a smile could always be observed wh
"Kyrie, we need some information." (A/N Kyrie [Κύριε] means sir in ancient Greek.)"What would you like to know about?" Nikolaos asked as he took them to his house. His wife was preparing a meal for them as they sat down.Selene offered to help with preparing the meal, but Nikolas’s wife refused to let her do by telling them that making the guests work was frowned upon in their custom, which let her stop insisting."Is there any ship that sails to the depths?"Nikolaos smile vanished when he heard that and looked at Neo with a creased forehead, lines forming over it. He wanted to ask if Neo was joking, but seeing his calm face, which showed no lack of confidence; it showed no sign of any joke; he was serious."I don't think any ship here would even think about going to the outer circle, let alone the deep.""Why?”Neo asked; he became curious now. There were a lot of anomalies here, like everyone he met or saw till now were non-evolvers. Even the guards patrolling the area were only o
"Man, it's been over a year now." "Well, that's to be expected from that kind of difficulty." "Still, to challenge 10 Fables and still survive till now is unbelievable." "We are talking about the White Devil. He's bound to be that powerful." The blond guy with a giant sword on his back took a drag as he puffed the smoke out and said, "He wiped an entire household in one night. Staying alive should be easy-peasy for him." "I don't understand. From what the reports and news says, he is only a first rank evolver." "And?" "How can someone who just started learning the ropes could kill people from the family that have evolvers of stage 3 and 4 protecting them?" The other guy, who was wearing a hood and a pair of daggers on waist, said as he took a sip from the bottle. He still felt that the story was full of holes. "I don't know, man, but I heard he had an item that could change the shape of his weapon on his command plus the skill that caused white and red smoke coming out of his

Selene looked at Michael's frenzied look and then toward Neo, who was also looking at him with furrowed eyebrows, and said, “This would’ve been me if you weren’t there.” Selene remembered Neo’s anger when he grabbed a person by the jaws and tore his lower jaw before grabbing his spine and tore it out of his body. She shuddered when she remembered the bloodbath that took place at the Oswald household. A hand grasped hers, and she felt a warmth spreading through her body and came out of her thoughts. "Thank you." A smile appeared on her face when she heard that. Bang* Michael was finally sent back as Gresda took hold of his fading consciousness and used everything to get him off of his chest and panted, his head regenerating back. Even if he was immortal, he still felt pain. "You bastard! How are you still alive?" He looked at Michael. That bullet could've easily killed him in a matter of seconds, but just like Neo, he was also alive, which was impossible as the bullet was infuse
“Papa!” A little girl with twin-tail hair, big doll-like eyes, adorable dimples, and a beaming smile rushed to her father, Michael. He, too, smiled warmly, reaching out to lift her off the ground and twirl her around, making the little one laugh out loud. Her infectious laughter filled the cozy little house as they shared this joyful moment together. They kept on going until he heard a rebuke from Emma, making him stop. A warm smile was present on Emma's face when she saw the father-daughter duo playing and laughing. She walked slowly toward them as she saw the little girl getting down from Michael's embrace, still dizzy, but then ran around with Michael running after her as her giggles echoed in the house. She then hid behind her as she laughed and looked at Michael sneakily, who also stopped before Emma and gave her a warm smile, Emma picked the little girl and brought her in front of Michael as she asked, "So how should we punish her? Should we summon the tickle monster?" "Noooo
Seated upon the broken throne was a man with golden hair and eyes that seemed to glimmer with an otherworldly light. He gazed around, his expression unreadable, as if contemplating the echoes of an era. "Ugh, why did I have to agree to such a long period? I was already done in the first ten." He sat there, looking at the monster moving around mindlessly. "I wonder how high my view count is?" After entering this world, not only was his level suppressed to Level 99, he also lost contact with the other side. He knew it would happen, but he was bored now because his competitor died the moment he entered this continent, while the other one could not wake up unless someone opened the box. He had put a formation in that box, so if anyone opened it, he'd know. "This is boring." He said, slumping down on the throne with a lazy expression on his face. "Oh really? Let's make it fun then." A voice came next from the throne. Before he could do anything, a foot landed on him and he felt som
Everyone was looking at the beauty that just killed the "immortal" like it was an everyday walk for her, along with the words that she uttered while doing so cemented this thought in their mind."Where is he?"Selene asked Kenneth, who was also looking at her, taking some time to close his mouth, that was opened wide, and this was the first for him. He reeled in his astonishment and knew what the lady was asking about. He pointed toward a carriage, and the next instant that carriage blew into pieces and a body appeared before everyone. It was Neo's body that was suspended in the air with an old man sitting next to him, who was just as confused and was about to take action, but stopped when he heard the beautiful lady’s voice."Thank you."Selene said as she put her hand on Neo’s body and could feel a pulse so weak that it felt like it would go out in the next instant.She smiled ruefully. One can see her hands twitching when she put them over his heart and could feel a bullet penetrat
A warm light embraced their lost companions as they started disintegrating, and the golden motes of light started moving up, dispersing into the air.Kenneth looked at the dispersion motes of light before moving away toward the gate. He put his hand over it, trembling a little. Even a sturdy tree would shake when the strong winds blowing.He took a deep breath and focused. He could feel a dense amount of death energy in the room.Likewise, he started mumbling as he chanted in a low voice, and after its completion, he could see what was inside the room.What he saw made him raise his eyebrow in surprise as the room was fully covered in ice, like they entered an ice palace and in the center of the room was an ice coffin. He tried looking into the coffin, but his spell couldn't penetrate it, but he found the thing that they were looking for."How is it?"Emma arrived next to him, followed by Maria, Seth, Michael, and others."The Lich is not inside."This made them heave a relieved sigh,
