Neo looked at the towering monster who was walking toward them and said, "It's completely made of trees and vines" He used [Inspect] on it.

Its muscular frame was covered in a thick layer of bark, while its long arms ended in wickedly sharp thorns. Its face was twisted into a snarl, revealing sha
'Are they stalling?' This was the last thought that crossed the figure's mind. Puchi* It fell forward on the ground, motionless. The glyphs dimmed as the monster was now free, and a notification appeared before Neo. 『 Soul successfully collected.』 『 +4 Intelligence, +3 Vitality.』 『 You have defeated the hidden floor boss.』 『 You have received the [Arboromancer] class scroll.』 『 You have received the Blinking ring.』 『 You have successfully cleared the hidden requirement of the A+ rank quest [Forestkeep Citadel]』 『 You have received [Key Fragment].』 Blaze looked at the dazzling amount of notification. He came next to the corpse and found the person had a horn on his forehead, "had" because Neo just took that off of it and now half of it had been gone. Neo turned to the person and looked at its calm look and asked, "From the Demon or Beast tribe?" {No idea.} Neo stripped the person and found him to be of the Beast tribe as a tail and fur grew on its body. Along with its sli
"What's your name?" Blaze asked as he saw the wolf girl still looking at the flames that were burning the bandit's hideout. "Lirien." She said subconsciously, but then got out her daze as she asked, "And yours?" "Neo." He replied as he asked, "What to do with this item now, Lirien?" Lirien grabbed the ruby from him and said, "I know." She then chose a direction and started walking. "Follow me." Neo followed, after walking for over 10 minutes, he arrived in front of a giant wall. He looked at it with confusion when Lirien said, "This is where the hidden boss of the floor lives." Neo looked at her with surprise, then asked himself, "Is my luck this good?" {Yes, it is.} "You know the hidden bosses of other floors as well." Lirien shook her head as she said, "Not all of them. I wasn't able to find the hidden boss on the 2nd floor and the first floor." She added, "But I do know about the hidden bosses up to the 15th floor." "How?" Neo asked, as the hidden bosses were a name he
He would've used them, but they were heavy armor type and made him feel restricted. The helmet was a good item but Lirien needed it more than him, so he gave it to her. He at the end gave the boots to her as he very much liked the skill [Dash of Wind] and the new boots had a skill [Quickstep] but it was not as good as the former one. He also leveled up once because one of the boss monsters required them to deal with a horde of monsters before they could get the secret boss out, while others also required them to clear the monsters before they could get to the boss. 『 Status (1 of 2) Name: Neo Orpheus.

A breathtaking sight welcomed Neo as he entered through the gates of the Divine Realm. The ground was made of polished white marble, and a shimmering golden light illuminated the entire area. The air was filled with a soothing scent of incense and the soft melody of angelic music. He looked around and saw towering pillars of ivory and gold with intricate engravings that depicted different creatures. Walls adorned with magnificent murals that portrayed the winged race, aka the Celestials of the Divine realm, in all its glory. In the distance, he could see a grand temple that seemed to glow with an otherworldly radiance. The temple was surrounded by a vast garden of blooming flowers and lush greenery. Neo could feel a sense of peace and serenity wash over him as he gazed upon the divine beauty of the first floor. Neo basked in the golden glow as the Divine energy coursed through his body and red notification bars blinked before him. 『 First Floor of the Divine Realm.』 『 The Trial h
Neo came out of his hiding spot and sat down as he knew that the coast was clear now, and he could spend the rest of the time with ease in here. And thanks to this place and his luck, no more disturbance occurred this time, and he spent the rest of the time here, without any surprises or anything. {My life is too dull.} "Dull is safer." 『 Remain hidden ✔.』 『 Trial Updating….』 『 Infiltrate the Temple of the Thief Punisher.』 The updated quest made his head turn toward the Temple that was visible from even where he was. ‘The boring part just ended.’ "The troublesome part started." Blaze grinned as he cracked his neck and knuckles. "Let the expert handle this one." The first thing he did was to use [Blink] and appeared in the tree branch 5 meters above the ground. "A little less, but will do." He then tried again, but couldn't. It was like a stopper was put on the water bottle. He couldn't access the water from it. (Means cooldown) Blaze scrunched his eyebrows a bit, then s
Neo looked at the old man and said, "What will they do when they have the Tower?" Sev took a sip slowly as he savored its taste. “The tower holds the infinite source of Divine Energy. What would one do if they had access to an infinite amount of something that is so dangerous that it was sealed away?” Neo was silent as he could imagine what would happen if something like that happened. “Cataclysm.” He closed his eyes as he tried controlling the divine energy around him, but couldn't. He opened his eyes as he looked at Sev, who chuckled when he saw him doing that, and said, "You need to clear the trial before controlling the energy on that floor." Neo nodded in comprehension as otherwise this would be too easy and even with his luck, it shouldn’t be possible. Neo sipped the tea and asked, "What about you, Senior Sev?" Sev knew what Neo was asking about and just returned a smile in return as he said, "I'm too old for that, and such a thing was never my desire." Blaze’s eyes fla
Those missing memories made him feel weird, like an invisible itch which made him want to scratch but couldn't get rid of it. {The Tower gave me a low blow.} ‘Hmm? What for?’ {For being not in contact with it for a week.} '…’ {Good thing that my memories were sealed, otherwise a headless corpse would’ve been decorating the floor.} Phew!* Blaze stretched his muscles as he walked toward the door adjacent to the secret room and slowly opened it. He sneaked in and found a winged person sitting on a throne, dozing off. Blaze started forming a spear, this time he didn't activate the skill and tried using the Nether Energy to form the spear. It took him over a minute, but was unsuccessful. {Son of a …, let's try this later.} After saying this, a spear formed instantly, and he used [Inspect] on the boss of the floor. [Name: Aurelius, the Thief Punisher. Race: Celestial Rank : 1st Stage Evolution. Level: 30 Health: 225,000/225,000 Divine Energy : 12,000/12,000 Attack: 2,000~
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,
