Boggy brought Leah and Rowan to his throne and tossed them on the side. He then kept staring at the pristine black sword. “The Dark Witch’s sword… It’s possible that she died.” He frowned. “I heard that she used to be the favorite concubine of the Immortal King. For her to lose her sword, it probably means that she’s lost her life. Last I saw her, she was battling the Cosmic Cultivator Chun Fu! Even the First Key couldn’t defeat him! I can only hope that she managed to gravely injure that monstrous man before dying.”

Boggy felt like rushing to his boss Yves straight away, but he couldn’t just leave his soup that was in the middle of being cooked. There was also Leah and Rowan that he needed to deal with.

“What should I do with these two?” he wondered, squatting down next to those two. “Should I wake them up and make them fight each other to death? They look like friends, but I bet they’re going to slit each other’s throat the moment you tell them only one of them can live. No matter w

    A swift thrust from behind with the full intent to pierce through the opponent’s heart made Boggy believe that he was definitely going to win.It was really a life-or-death situation for Gary.In that fraction of a second, Gary’s toe touched the ground. He put 10,000 stat points to his speed, and another 10,000 points to his agility.Using just the support of his toe, he swiveled in an instant and managed to catch Boggy’s hand, widening his eyes.Boggy’s heart shook for a second.Gary now put 10,000 points into his strength stat and lifted Boggy’s big and heavy body and smashed him to the ground left and right as if he was washing clothes.Boggy’s bones ached, and he bled from many places by the time Gary stopped. Boggy coughed blood and was getting back up. Gary spun and crafted a spinning kick that saw Boggy crash back to the ground head-first.Still, Boggy was growing madly. Even though he was bleeding badly from his head, he looked more angry than afraid.[This is one tough bastar

    Rowan slowly opened his eyes and saw a beautiful brown-haired beauty staring at him. (Who is she? An angel? Am I in heaven?) He smiled, but a second later, he realized something. (Wait, angels are men, aren’t they?) His body responded quickly, and his eyes fully opened. He quickly sat up.“Whoa, took you so long to wake up,” Sesi seemed tired from shouting at him. She could have easily pushed him, but she didn’t want to touch a stranger, so she only shouted. Rowan still didn’t wake up from all her shouting, so she had to splash water on his face. Now that Rowan woke up, he had a bit of a confused look on his face. “Who are you?” He looked around and realized that he was inside an old building.He could see Leah still resting on the floor not far from him, but there was a man next to her. “W-Who are you? Why are you sitting next to Leah?”“Where would he sit if not next to his lover?” Sesi responded.Rowan was surprised. “H-He’s Leah’s lover?”“Why? Do you perhaps have feelings for her

    “So, where are we going now?” Rowan asked Sesi. He was sitting in the back of a car, next to Leah, whereas Sesi and Gary were in the front.Gary was driving the car through the national highway, which was pretty free to travel on, except at places where clusters of trees grew.Sesi explained to them about the Seven Keys that Gary had told her. “We’re going to have to defeat those seven otherworldly beings. So, to find them, we’ll have to travel around the world.”“That means, we’re going to be adventurers?” Rowan excitedly asked.“Well, I don’t know if we can call it an adventure in this doomsday time or not, but yes, it’s going to be a challenging and exciting experience,” Sesi said. “The seven keys are going to be stronger than the werewolf you fought, so you have to level up fast if you want to help me and Gary.”“Sure, sure,” Rowan smiled. “By the way, you said you defeated the werewolf, right? What’s your level?”“U-Uh,” Sesi laughed without answering. (What the hell should I tel

    Sesi’s senses were not as sharp as Gary’s, but sensing the surroundings was her speciality. So, she was able to see the woman in the veil before Rowan and Leah. “Guys, look to your left.” She alerted the two people sitting in the back.They saw the woman in the veil who was wearing clothes like she was cosplaying someone from an ancient eastern culture. Her arms, neck, ears, forehead, waist, ankles were all decorated with gold and jewels.Her anklets made a nice sound every time she took a step.“Is she some kind of a drama artist?” Rowan wondered.“She’s walking way too casually,” Leah opined. “It’s like she’s not afraid of anything. And… she doesn’t seem to have a speck of dust or blood on her clothes. Does that make any sense?”Her words made Sesi and Rowan immediately up their guard.“Something’s not right,” Sesi said. “For this woman to be coming toward us right after Gary left…” she didn’t have a good feeling about this. “Gary!” she quickly shouted.Gary heard the call and turne

    Gary dashed forth at Clausilla and thrust his knife-hand at her. He was fast, but she easily moved out of his way and also tried to bite his neck. Gary somehow managed to change his speed right away and dodge the dangerous bite.CLANG~!Her teeth made a clinking, metallic noise as they clashed against each other.“Fufu, not bad, but…” Clausilla suddenly screamed. Her scream was so powerful, the glass doors of the hall shattered. Even Leah and the bats that were harassing her were terrified by the absurdly powerful scream that made their ears bleed.Gary was also bleeding from the ears, but he bore the pain and grabbed her mouth, shocking her, not just because of his recklessness but also his brute strength. He firmly squeezed on her mouth, lifted her body up and smashed her head-first to the floor. The back of her skull cracked and blood sprayed out.Clausilla desperately bit his palm, causing him to bleed.Gary let go of her and backed away a bit and looked at his hand.“Hahaha,” Cla

    Gary’s ‘Werewolf Vigor’ was a tireless charging attack, and he clawed at her a hundred times in five seconds. She had to do her best to defend herself, but at the same time, the fact that Gary was using her boyfriend’s attack utterly pissed her off. The boiling anger in her strengthened her. She fought toe-to-toe with Gary.Clausilla used all kinds of moves that a normal human would never be able to see, but Gary didn’t fall for any of her tricks. He was able to see through her feints as well. And that frustrated and angered Clausilla all the more. Nevertheless, she kept reminding him, “What’s the point of clawing at me when you have no way of killing me? On the other hand, all I need to do is get one good attack in, and it’ll be all over for you!”It was a mental game, and she thought Gary would fall for it.But her words did not change Gary’s rhythm at all, He kept using the seemingly incessant ‘Werewolf’s Vigor,’ and eventually managed to push Clausilla back to the throne.Seeing t

    Rowan and Leah were silent as they were preparing to leave Clausilla’s place after recovering.“She’s gotta be at least over level 200,” Leah opined. “That’s the feeling I got.”“That means that guy is also over level 200?” Rowan looked a bit shocked. “I know that he’s strong, but 200 levels in just a few days… it feels surreal.”“Guys, he’s not reached 200 yet,” Sesi told them.“Huh? That doesn’t make sense,” Rowan quickly said. “How can he defeat such a powerful enemy if he’s not at that level?”“Simple. He’s got many skills,” Sesis said. “Of course, we also have a lot of skills, but his skills are much more effective and efficient. And he’s also talented at using them. That’s why he’s our group’s leader.”Rowan looked a little bit surprised. “To be honest, I thought you were the leader because you defeated the werewolf.”Sesi’s shoulders jerked a bit. “Uh, to be honest, I wasn’t the one that killed it. It was Gary’s doing. I’m only at a similar level to you guys.” Her words astonis

    Gary was sitting on the cart, next to Leah. There was a three feet distance between them as they sat on opposite ends of the cart.Sesi and Rowan, however, were pulling the cart like horses and buffaloes would.“Why do we have to do this?” Rowan complained. “This is so humiliating.”“Stop complaining and preserve your stamina,” Gary said. “You need to be exercising like this if you want to improve on your stamina.”“But my stamina is already the top stat I have,” Rowan said.“Why is stamina your top stat?” Sesi looked at him confusedly. “Shouldn’t strength or speed be your first preference?”“Yeah, but I think stamina is good when it comes to fighting multiple opponents or running away,” Rowan said.“So, you are just a scaredy cat,” Sesi snorted.“O-Of course not! I’m just being cautious, that’s all,” Rowan shouted. “And why am I the only one pulling this when Leah was happily sitting?”“Shut up,” Sesi hit his head with her braid. It was a decent hit that turned his cheek red.“Why di

    “I asked for grape juice!” Sesi barked. “But what the hell is this?”“It is grape juice,” the innkeeper looked offended. “It’s fresh. If you drink it, you’ll know.”“You want me to DRINK THIS?” Sesi’s eyes turned red. Rowan grabbed her hand because he felt like she might slap the innkeeper out of anger. “Can a human even drink this? No, even monkeys won’t go near this shit!”Sesi’s words offended not just the innkeeper but also the other customers who loved the grape juice. After all, those grapes were harvested from the grape trees growing in the same village, the Newmere village. So, their pride was hurt when Sesi mocked the grape juice.“Sesi,” Leah intervened. “There’s no need to cause a scene if you didn’t like the drink.”“Leah, just look at this!” she pointed at the mug. “The grape skin and seeds are floating in the drink! How am I supposed to drink it? Uwwgh, I feel like vomiting just thinking about it!”“Maybe, they don’t add grapeskin and seeds in the drink, but we leave the

    The adult customers were in awe and disbelief, whereas the children were giggling and smirking from seeing Prince Liu personally serving drinks to a foreign group of four.From Liu, they came to know that the trees in the village weren’t giant a few decades back, but ever since cultivators began to bury the bodies of some beasts around the village, the trees absorbed the nutrients and grew in size and produced food all year, which improved the livelihood of the villagers very much.“You’re only twenty two years old?” Rowan’s eyes bulged in shock. “What the heck, man? You look like you’re forty years old!”Liu angrily smiled. “Yeah, some people say that to me, but all the girls in this village would die to marry me. It’s just that I haven’t found the right woman for me yet.” His eyes fell on Sesi.“Don’t even think about it,” Sesi retorted coldly. “You’re not at all my type. Too macho for me to even feel anything.”Liu then looked at Leah, but she was just fully immersed in talking wit

    If reality blended seamlessly with dreams, then it would look like what Gary and everyone else was staring at right now.The towering mountains and crystalline rivers aside, there were young children riding on big foxes and were plucking fruits off the trees. There were beautiful young ladies riding butterflies that flitted from flower to flower and helped the ladies collect honey in leather sacs.The small village that Gary and his friends had first been to was full of giant trees and animals, but the humans were of normal size.The village guards escorted them to the inn and said, “Don’t cause any trouble, or you’ll regret it.”Goya found their words offensive. “Should I just beat him up and show him his place?”“Don’t cause unnecessary trouble,” Wendevorr told her. “Did you already forget what Lord Gary told us? We’re not supposed to fight anyone unless it gets life-threatening.”Goya seemed disappointed. “But that’s boring.”After killing so many monsters, Goya was still in the sl

    By the time Gary and his team left the woods, having absorbed the crystal cores and boosting their stats and abilities, they felt more confident than ever.Goya was sitting cross-legged on top of Wendevorr’s head. She was at level 698, and he was at level 699.Rowan increased by ten levels and reached 612.Sesi increased to level 630.Leah went from level 700 to 703.Gary’s level was exactly 800 after defeating the mighty wolf Wynn. He felt much stronger than your average level 800 being would, but he still felt like his current strength was nowhere near enough to deal with all the seven keys, much less their boss, the Immortal King.Leah and Sesi were discussing a lot ever since Leah regained her memories. Sesi wanted to know their love story, so Leah kept telling her everything. Some of the details were a bit too embarrassing, so Gary kept his distance from the ladies.Rowan was leading the group in the front. “I’m still the lowest-leveled in the group, dammit. I know I should be ha

    Wynn and Gary’s team parted goodbyes, but Gary and others didn’t leave the forest just yet because Wynn had asked them to kill the remaining demonoids as a favor.Because they had all used the fountain of life, they couldn’t reject his request. However, neither Gary nor Leah had to act for this mission.Sesi, Rowan, Goya, and Wendevorr took the task upon themselves and competed to see who’d find and kill the most number of demonoids. Goya and Wendevorr believed that they had an edge over the humans because of their superior sense stats.Goya went back to the Demon Range to sniff out the remaining demonoids and kill them. Wynn had told them a way to get past the curse that they’d obtain after absorbing the crystal cores. It was to wash these cores in the blood of another animal, and so that blood would take the curse away.Knowing this, everyone felt very excited to get the crystal cores and gain various abilities from that, though crystals that had been cleansed by blood would also be

    Gary was talking with Wynn, the great wolf, which seemed to have calmed down now. “I was planning on returning to earth, but after hearing your words, I think we’ll need to stay here a little longer.”“If the opponent is someone who can kill Master Chun Fu, then your current strength is not sufficient,” Wynn said.Though it was a bit rude of Wynn to say that, Gary didn’t disagree with that. “I have to awaken my spiritual energy, too, before I return to earth. So, Leah and I will both be able to use spiritual energy in our group. Together, we can keep hunting those seven keys. And the rest of my group members will take down their minions. I think they’re strong enough to fend for themselves now.”“If you want to awaken the spiritual energy ahead of time,” Wynn said. “Then there’s a place where you can attain that.”“Oh… where is it?” Gary quickly asked.“The Absurd Woods…” Wynn said.“Absurd Woods?” Gary raised an eyebrow. “That’s the name?”“Yeah. It’s full of crazy creatures that har

    As Gary approached the fountain, he saw Leah rising up as though the waters were lifting her up. A radiant glow came out of her body. It was warm and beautiful.“What’s going on?” Gary asked.[She’s been cured of the curse, and on top of that she’s awakened the spiritual energy.] Ai said.“A-Awakened?” Gary was startled. “Didn’t you say it’ll take at least level 900 for one to even think about awakening their spiritual energy?”[Yes, but her spirit has been contained by the negative energy of the Dark Witch.] Ai explained. [In order to forcefully release those restraints, the fountain of life had to awaken her spirit.]“So, it’s a byproduct of removing the curse put on her…” Gary’s eyes slowly widened. “Does that mean she gets her memories back?” He quickly scuttled toward the fountain with his heart swelling from hope.Leah was still floating above the fountain, and her eyes slowly opened. She could see everyone around her. Sesi, Rowan, Goya, Wendevorr, even the great wolf in the dis

    The great wolf coughed up a lot of blood into the air as his gaze turned blurry. He somersaulted through the air and managed to land on his feet.However, the pain in his diaphragm kept escalating, and it made him bleed some more. He was forced to get down on one knee.Gary was walking toward him confidently, and the great wolf wanted to get up, but the pain in his gut didn’t let him get up just yet.“You lost…” Gary uttered.“Not yet,” the great wolf growled, but that shouting made him cringe in pain.[Say these words to him…] Ai told Gary.Gary then said while looking at the great wolf who was still on one of his knees, “Even though I won’t be around you physically, my love will always be with you, Wynn.”The great wolf’s expression froze. Slowly but surely, tears began to swell in the great wolf’s eyes as he remembered Chun Fu saying those words when he was parting with him. And nobody knew his name except for his master, so this made it clear that Gary was indeed Chun Fu’s success

    Many years ago.Chun Fu was teaching the great wolf. “There will come a time when you will need to fight beings that can’t be defeated with punches or slashes. That’s when you need to rely on things like spiritual energy or unique skills. Animals don’t have much spiritual energy, so you should depend on learning unique skills.”“What kind of skills, Master?” the great wolf excitedly asked, waving his tail left and right.“One that will help you fight all kinds of enemies,” Chun Fu said. “The ability to break space itself.”“Breaking space…” the great wolf’s eyes turned wide. “Is something like that even possible?”“Time, space, and matter are three constructs that the worlds are built upon by the Creator,” Chun Fu explained. “All those three constructs can be affected by us. We can break physical matter with our hands because we can interact with it. But space and matter needs different approaches. Skills that will require one to manipulate time are too complex for you to learn. Even
