Neo gulped the potion. The moment the potion entered his body, he felt a soothing feeling and new found power waking every pore in his body. Neo clenched his fist as he felt he could crush a boulder, but that was just him overestimating himself. He looked at his new stats.

『 Status

Name: Neo Orpheus

Class: None

Level 1 (0/100)

Title: None

Hp: 190/190 ➠ 890/890

Mana: 60/60 ➠ 760/760

Strength: 14 ➠ 84 Agility: 9 ➠ 79

Stamina: 10 ➠ 80 Intelligence: 6 ➠ 76

Vitality: 19 ➠ 89 Luck: 7 』

No change in the [Luck] stats was not surprising to him as he knew that only [luck booster potions] could do that and those things were several times more expensive than the potion that he had just consumed.

After confirming that everything was ready, Neo peaked from the crack to see what the monsters were doing. He didn't have the inspection skill and could only discern with his eye whether the monsters were the buffed up version of the monsters or not.

The hall was dimly lit with torches that cast eerie shadows on the walls. In the center of the hall stood a group of green-skinned monsters, about half a dozen in number, chattering amongst themselves in their guttural language. They paid no attention to the hidden observer, too absorbed in their own conversation.

Neo sneaked around, taking advantage of the dim environment. He wanted to finish at least two with a surprise attack. He took the sword slowly out of its sheath and tightened his grip on it, waiting for the perfect moment.

And he got the chance as two of the monsters moved away from the group. Neo followed them for a while before steadily approaching them. When he was only 4 meters away from them. Neo dashed as he kicked one monster away while slashing at the neck of the monster.

The kick landed on the back of the monster as it flew forward. Its companion was surprised and couldn't react in time before its view changed, and it saw its own body and a stranger standing next to it before its vision darkened.

Neo hurriedly threw his sword toward the monster, which he kicked before, while he picked the crude blade of the dead monster.

The green monster screeched as it came into contact with the ground and received -20 damage. Its screech attracted the attention of other monsters, but before it could do anything anymore. A sword came flying toward him and embedded itself in its chest and another damage appeared.

-300

The monster slid back and wasn't able to do much as this attack took almost its life, but before it could celebrate being alive, Neo was already near him and swung the crude blade downward and the blade got embedded into its head. It wasn't able to go further because of how blunt it was and that Neo also didn't use his full strength.

The monster didn't even get to swing once at its enemy, and it was already dead. Neo heard a chime in his ears but didn't have the time to check as the other 4 monsters were already close to him because of the previous screech of the monster.

Neo took the sword lodged in the mobster's chest out and grabbed the dead monster by its neck as he threw it toward the incoming monsters while following behind it.

The monster saw the incoming monster flying toward them and stopped. That much time was enough for the dead body to come in contact with them and it collided with the monster in the front.

It made the monster almost fall as the force behind the throw was great. Neo, who was following just behind, again slashed horizontally and made one more head fly, reaping another life.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the monster next to the now headless one was a little behind so the sword that slashed the neck of the first one, moved toward it and gave it a deep cut over its chest.

It writhed in pain as blood gushed out of its wound, dying its body red. It shreiked in pain and flailed its hands around in pain. Neo gave him relief the next instant and kicked it away, his target being its neck. A cracking voice came, and the neck and the spine of the monster were completely crushed. It died instantly.

Another chiming voice sounded in Neo's ears, which he again wasn't able to pay attention to as he jumped back, and a deformed spear stuck to the ground where he was standing before.

The remaining two monsters didn't let him take a breather as they ran toward him, attacking him randomly and interrupting each other. Neo easily dodged them and wounded them with every strike. And after half a minute, one more monster breathed its last while the other one was still attacking in a frenzy, not knowing the future that awaited it to whom, without surprise, Neo finished quickly.

After the last monster, Neo stared at the dead body of the monster for a while before looking at his hands, which were still trembling. The rush of adrenaline that was pumped into his body slowly receded. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath as this much excitement was bad for health.

The notification panel popped open in front of him as he looked at them with bated breath, as this was the moment that will tell him whether he'll sink or swim.

『 Defeated level 7 Goblin +300 experience 』

『 Defeated level 8 Goblin +350 experience 』

『 Defeated level 7 Goblin +300 experience 』

『 Defeated level 9 Goblin +400 experience 』

『 Level Up! All stats+2』

『 Level Up! All stats+2』

『 Level Up! All stats+2』

『 Level Up! All stats+2』

Neo looked at the long awaited notification for a while as he could finally taste the effect of leveling up and becoming powerful. He wanted to jump and shout in happiness, but controlled himself from doing so.

He re-opened his status again to see his level

『 Level 5 (500/1600)』

It confused Neo as this was not how it was supposed to be and the second thing of his confusion were the words following "Level up".

"All stats +2. Shouldn't I get stat points, which I can add myself?"

He hurriedly checked if he got any stat points and a strange expression appeared on his face as he found what he was looking for.

『 Unallocated Stat points: 0 』

    "This is strange." Neo said as from what Bella told him, every player only receives unallocated stat points after they level up and the number of free points depends on their potential. Bella received 16 stat points with each level up, that she told him herself."I'm receiving 12 stat points with each level up, but why are they getting allocated by themselves?" Neo said to himself as this was too strange for him and the more baffling this was that even his luck stat increased.This was quite impossible. Bella told him that other than some special items, it was impossible to add points to that stat and everyone was born with a fixed amount."Let's think about this later. " Neo squatted down and tore open their chests to find the spheres. He was quite lucky, as he found 4 of them. Putting away the spheres in his pocket, he said to himself, "I should have brought a bag."He decided to consult with Bella about this problem as she was the only knowledgeable person he knew.He arrived

    Neo kept looking at the core to confirm what he thought was correct and only after confirming that was the case did he move his attention away from the mana core. He checked the increase in stats after he "absorbed" the "soul of the Goblin Elite". He found that there was indeed an increase in his stats. Neo felt the need to hunt more monsters to see why that happened. He butchered a lot of the monsters on his way to the boss's room, but none of them gave him any increase and why he didn't "absorbed" their "souls". He tore open the boss's chest, and he found the sphere in its body, but it was slightly bigger than the spheres he collected so far, red in color. "Might be because it's an elite monster or a boss monster." He had no time to think because he had wasted a lot already and the potion might not hold on before he could complete this dungeon. Neo put the sphere in his pocket and walked past the throne. The stairs came in his view. "Crossing this, I'll be eligible to access th

    This floor was a maze-like structure filled with tougher and more aggressive goblins than those found on the first floor. These goblins were armed with crude weapons, such as spears and clubs. Neo came before one of them and used his only skill."Inspect."[Goblin WarriorLevel 10Health 1250/1250Mana Nil]The inspection worked and he got the information on the monster, he was just testing its effect. Neo lunged forward and pierced the goblin with his sword through its chest and damage appeared over its head.-1100He could one-shot a goblin, that he had just learned, but then he knew that as he beheaded many before. With his 80+ points of agility, he was fast and goblins couldn't keep up with his speed and were getting butchered left and right. Time was tight, so Neo decided to not care about the spheres for now and was cutting down the goblins as he navigated through the maze. It took him over 20 minutes to come out of the other side of the maze as a colossal door appeared befor

    Neo stood before the door, his one hand on the door while the other was gripping the sword to protect himself from any surprise attack. If the goblins from before had been more intelligent and had slowly and stealthily closed the distance on him, the result might have been different.So, Neo couldn't be reckless and careless just because he was short on time. He opened the door and entered the room, where he was greeted by the floor boss. The goblin boss stood before Neo, wielding a massive battleaxe with both hands. Its beady eyes glared at Neo with an intense hatred, and its muscles bulged beneath its green skin. Neo could see that this goblin was much larger and more muscular than any of the others he had encountered so far."Inspect."[Goblin BruteLevel 13Health 2500/2500Attack: 290~310Defense: 190~240Magic Defense: Nil ]The goblin jumped in the air and brought the axe down, trying to split Neo in half.

    This attack made him sweat as he didn't have any magical defense, and he didn't expect to come across a mage class enemy in this low-class dungeon, but then remembering that it was not an ordinary dungeon, he hurriedly used [Inspect][Name: Goblin ShamanLevel 15Health 2,400/2,400Mana: 1,200/1,200Attack: 300~350Defense: 270~300Magic Defense: 240~260]He saw its attributes and knew that the shaman would be a touch opponent, despite it having low health then the one he fought before, if it landed even 2~3 attacks. He would be a goner. Now he looked at the shaman cautiously and kept his eyes on him as he closed the distance between them.Shaman was not letting it be this easy as it screeched. Neo paused as he felt someone approaching the room. He looked back and saw the boss room open and half a dozen armored goblins coming in.They charged directly toward Neo, who now, other than Shaman, had to deal with them. He also sped toward them and wanted to finish them as quickly as possi

    The door on the other side of the dungeon opened and a large amount of goblins poured into the hall. Neo's expression was severe as he found that the number of the goblin kept increasing and in less than a minute, over fifty goblins came into the hall.A goblin was sitting on a strange animal, barking orders at the group of goblins which seemed like a commander. The goblin commander stood at the back of the horde, barking orders and directing the goblins with precision. He kept yelling as the goblin stood in a neat row. Its sharp eyes scanned the battlefield, looking for any weaknesses in Neo's defenses. Despite its small stature, it exuded an aura of authority that made even the largest goblins obey its commands without question.Neo knew that he was in trouble the moment that goblin entered the hall.

    Neo calculated the time again and found that he was left with less than 20 minutes before the potion effect ran out, and he didn't know if this dungeon was done with him or not. Well, he didn't need to think more, as a notification blared before him.『 Fourth Phase of the Goblin King's Keep will start when ready.』Neo looked at the notification intently like he wanted to tear it apart as the frustration along with nervousness was building in his heart because if this was not the last phase of the dungeon or that if it took longer than the potion stats boost time, he was dead meat.He took a deep breath and removed the sphere from the goblin before saying, "I'm ready."『 Fourth Phase starting.』Neo was teleported from this hall to another one, which was identical to the one he was in before. This puzzled him, but his hair stood up on their end, and he hurriedly jumped back.Bang*A huge mace struck the place where he stood, and the earth trembled a little because of the power behind

    Clang* Clang*A clanging sound sounded in the hall as a human could be seen fighting against the monster, but his attacks were barely putting dents on it, still, the hope was not lost as the area where he was constantly striking was now overflowing with blood.Just as Neo was about to attack the same spot again, the Hobgoblin put its hand over it, covering the left side of its neck. Neo arched his eyebrow up in surprise but didn't let it get to him as he targeted its right eye, wanting to completely blind it. But the monster moved its head forward, and the sword struck its forehead, again numbing Neo's hand."Is it learning?" Neo was puzzled, but this discovery made him wake up as he felt that the longer he dragged the fight, the more danger he'll be in."Should I use whirlwind?" Neo thought but then shook his head as the area of effect of the skill was too wide and the skin of the monster was too tough. Even if the attack was infused with mana, he doubted that it'd do much damage

    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

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

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.

    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.

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

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.

    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,
