2024-10-29 19:42:56I decided to run while the zombies were attacking me. Even though they walked slowly, or even very slowly, if I was attacked by so many zombies, I would naturally lose and become one of them, or worse, become their food.
[Why are you running?]
"Are you crazy to ask that? If I don't run, they'll definitely eat my brain. Do you want me to die here?"
Newt was really annoying. How could he ask such a stupid question?[You can buy weapons with the coins you need to kill them.]
I suddenly stopped and digested what Newt had just said. "Why are you saying that now?" After I had run far enough to catch my breath.
[I was going to say it, but you ran first.]
I rolled both my eyes lazily. Not wanting to waste any more time, I quickly gave Newt the order to activate the screen. In a split second, the holographic screen appeared before my eyes.
[Please press the INVENTORY button and then the plus sign at the bottom right.]
I followed Newt's instructions, and I was presented with a selection of weapons. There were hammers, swords, arrows, pistols, and some other weapons I didn't know the names of.
[You can only buy weapons that are unlocked.]
I only saw hammers that didn't have a lock mark on them.
[Sword can be unlocked when you reach level 2, arrow can be unlocked when you reach level 3,...]
I did not hear what Newt said, because I had to buy a weapon quickly before the zombies got closer. I pressed the image of the hammer and it instantly enlarged and swirled in front of me. The words "LEVEL 1.
[PRICE: 100,000 COINS]
[YES] [NO]
My eyes bulged as I saw the price of the hammer. 100,000 Coins, or US$100,000,000. This is crazy! How can a hammer cost so much?
[If you don't buy a weapon soon, the zombies might attack you.]
I woke up from my shock when I heard Newt's voice. I raised my head and saw that the zombies were only a few metres from where I was standing. To hell with the high price. If I die now, it's the same as not being able to enjoy this money.
I pressed the 'YES' button and my coin balance automatically decreased. I saw that my account balance was 800,000 coins. I swallowed hard as I realised that I had just spent US$100,000,000 on a hammer.
[You can give me an order to issue the hammer. You can just say the word "Hammer"].
"Hammer!"
In less than a second, my hand felt heavy from holding something. I looked down at my hand. It was big - as big as the superhero hammers I'd seen in the cinema. My head snapped back up as I heard a growl in front of me. The zombies were only three paces from me now.
I gulped as I saw their shapes up close. I tightened my grip on the hammer and swung it at them. The moment I hit a zombie, it instantly disappeared.
[Zombie Level 1 + 100 coins]
I stared at the writing that appeared as the zombies disappeared. If a zombie was worth 100 coins, it meant that if I killed 50 zombies, I would earn 5000 coins, which was worth 5,000,000 US dollars. Wow, I could really get rich.
I couldn't let my thoughts linger. While thinking and calculating, I smashed them with the hammer in my hand. It turned out that killing them wasn't as difficult as I thought. With just one blow, their bodies disappeared one by one.
[Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins]
[Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins]
And so on, until I couldn't tell how many I had killed. I didn't care how many I had killed, because each one I killed gave me 100 coins. I had to kill as many of them as possible to get the coins.
[The gates of Smoky Hollow have opened; you should leave now.]
Newt's voice echoed in my head. If the gates are open, that means I've killed 50 zombies. I smiled as I remembered that I had earned 5,000 coins. If earning money was so easy, why hadn't I heard about this system before?
"Can't I stay longer? I want to hunt more zombies."
[Sorry, you need to level up or gain skills first to control the dungeon].
I immediately felt lazy after hearing Newt's explanation. It was a sign that I couldn't make any more money.
"At what level can I open and close the dungeon gates, and what skills should I have?"
[At level 30, the skill is unlocked, and you can buy it. Or, if you're lucky, you'll get it for free on your quest].
"What do I have to do to get the skill for free?"
[That's a divine secret. I don't have the data to answer that].
"What do you mean, God interferes with this system?"
I had plenty of time to talk to Newt because the zombies were still far away from where I was. I was so curious about the skill Newt was talking about. If I could get this skill, wouldn't I be able to hunt as much as I wanted? My money would certainly be worth a lot.
[I don't have an answer to your question. Please ask something else.]
I chuckled in annoyance at not getting the answer I wanted.
[The gates of Smoky Hollow will be closing soon. If you don't come out now, you'll be stuck here forever for breaking the rules.]
[10 ...]
"Shit!"
I ran quickly to the gate. Even though I could make a lot of money here, if I got stuck in this place, what would I make money for?
[6, 5 ...]
Newt's voice made me panic even more. Besides, the gate was still five metres in front of me.
[1.]
"Argh...!" I jumped towards the white swirl in front of me. And ....
[The player exits the Smoky Hollow Gate.]
My butt landed on the pavement. I was so relieved to have made it through the gate in time. If I had been one second late, I would have been stuck there.
I caught my breath, which was ragged from the race against time. I looked around. This was the edge of the road I'd passed earlier, and I saw my bike not far from where I'd fallen.
I was finally back in my world. When I remembered, I quickly took my mobile phone out of my pocket to check if what I had experienced was a dream or not. And I felt very relieved when I realised that it was real. The balance on my account was US$100,000,010.12. US$10.12 was the balance left in my account yesterday.
"Can I buy a car and a house with that, Newt?"
[Of course. You can use the money just like any other money].
I can finally buy a luxury car and a luxury house with this money. Will I also be able to buy Quinion Corp. with the money I have?
"Newt. How much is Quinion Corp.? Can I buy it?"
[The price of Quinion Corp. is US$500,000,000. You can trade in your coins to buy it.]
My smile grew even wider after hearing Newt's words. Even after buying the company, I still had plenty of money.
"Ian... Sofia...! You will definitely get down on your knees and apologise to me."

I looked at the clock on my left wrist. It had only been half an hour since I had left home. When I was in Smoky Hollow, it felt like I had been there for hours. "Newt, what's the date?" [It's the 22nd of January 2024, Master.] That means it's still the same date. Could it be that my clock is broken? But I see that the hands are still turning properly. "Why do I feel so long?" I muttered as I continued to look at the watch. [There is a comparison between time when you are in the real world and in Smoky Hollow. An hour in Smoky is only a minute in the real world. So you can spend time in Smoky Hollow without wasting much time in the real world.] Wow, this is a sign that I can make a lot of money in just a few minutes. But .... "Newt, when is the Smoky Hollow Gate going to open again? And why can't I hunt more than 50 zombies?" Wouldn't it be better if I could hunt more, because that would mean more money for me? [The Smoky Hollow Gate opens every eight hours. You can choose to

[Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins][Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins]I paused for a moment to catch my breath. When the gate opened again, I walked back into Smoky Hollow. Of course, even though I was a little tired, I didn't care because it was all about the money. Hunting like this is the only way I can make a lot of money. Even if I worked all my life, I'd never earn it.I looked to my left, and the zombies were coming closer again. Still holding the hammer in my right hand, I ran towards them. I thought the sooner this was over, the better.I swung the hammer at the group of zombies, and they easily disappeared.[Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins][Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins]"Ah...!"

[You are very handsome, Master.]I lifted the corner of my lips as Newt complimented me. I was standing in front of a large mirror in my walk-in closet. I never thought I would have a separate room to store my clothes and accessories. Shirts, suits, shoes, watches, and ties, all famous brands and expensive. All these things have been in this house from the first time."I've always been good-looking, Newt." I'm not lying. Even Sofia is crazy about my looks.After making sure my appearance was perfect, I went downstairs for breakfast. There are several types of dishes on the dining table. I frowned. Who's going to eat all this food? Are rich people always like this? How wasteful."Hello, my name is Fredy, Mr. Durand. I am the chef who will be cooking for you."I smiled awkwardly. This life is new to me. I even cooked for myself all the time because Sofia didn't want to cook. But now it's different; a chef is cooking for me.I didn't want Fredy to see my embarrassment. I cleared my thro

"Newt, how do I get out of this place?" I stared in horror downward. I was still keeping my balance to avoid falling down. As I shifted my feet, small stones shifted and fell down. I didn't dare to imagine the height of this place, I couldn't even hear the sound of falling rocks. I'm sure that there's no bottom down there.[Calm down, Master. You must not panic. Once you lose your balance, I'm not sure where you'll land.]I let out a long breath. Newt's answer didn't help at all. While I was thinking, I heard strange noises. They sounded like crows cawing at each other—more like fighting. I knew this after seeing two giant birds pecking at each other and advancing their wings, as if they were fighting. The two birds were not far from where I was standing now, and were getting closer and closer.My eyes widened when suddenly the two birds were in front of me."Woaaa...!" I screamed as suddenly one of the bird's wings fluttered and hit my body, causing me to bounce. But fortunately, my

I took a long breath. I crossed my legs and folded my hands across my chest. All my muscles felt weak as I remembered what had happened to me. Moments ago, I had been forced to swallow something the mother bird had given me. I had refused and looked away, but the mother bird's gaze made me swallow what she gave me. Her look seemed to say, 'If you don't eat this, I will eat you. Could it be that the brood birds saw me as one of her children? Fortunately, what the brood birds gave me was a sour tasting fruit and not a disgusting, wriggling animal.I let out another long sigh. I was trapped in this bird's nest with nowhere to go. I looked down, and this place was no higher than where I had landed earlier. I couldn't see what was below either, because the white smoke was blocking my eyes again. "Newt, where are you?" I whispered, looking for Newt. But I got no answer again. It looks like he really did run away. [Master, Master...!] I pricked up my ears, as if a voice were echoing in

I lifted my head. I landed on my stomach. But strangely, I didn't feel any pain at all, like someone who had just fallen from a great height. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in the same place I had landed when I first entered Smoky Hollow. My right hand was still closed, holding the pendant I had just received.I didn't even feel any pain in my body. I slowly stood up and scanned my body. There were no wounds. Could it be that I had died and was now in heaven? But is it possible for me to enter Heaven, considering I never worshipped?[You are still alive, Master.]I tiptoed as I heard Newt's voice in my head. I was so shocked that I forgot there was a system inside me."Logically, my body would be destroyed if I fell from that height. But why...?" I didn't have time to finish my question because I saw a bunch of zombies coming towards me.I unconsciously lifted the corners of my lips, feeling happy that I would get money and that I could get out of this place soon. It seemed

"Kwak... kwak...!" I seemed to hear the voice of the bird that had brought me here earlier. I looked up, and my suspicion was right. It was the bird. "Kwak... kwak...!"The bird continued to make sounds as it flew in circles above me. I felt my hand light up and looked at the zombie in front of me. The zombie let go of my hand and was busy covering its ears. I looked around, and all the zombies were doing the same thing, and they looked in pain.I didn't have time to think about what was happening. I quickly turned my body around and walked into the almost closed gate.A few seconds later, I had landed somewhere on my stomach. It looks like I need to learn how to land so I can land in a better position.I stood up and looked around. This wasn't my room. This place was so dark and damp. I shook my hand as the dust made my nose itch. I guessed that this was probably a storeroom or an unused room.I saw a light coming through the vent above the door. I walked towards it. I kicked a few t

"Sir! Sir!"I seemed to hear Olivia's voice, and I also felt something slap my cheek a couple of times."Sir!"I groaned as my eyes opened, I was in shock for a moment as I saw Olivia standing in front of me. I became more and more confused by what I was experiencing. A while ago, I had woken up in an unknown place, but a moment later, I was somewhere else."Sir, what's going on? Why do you look so confused?" asked Olivia, who also had a confused look on her face."Where am I?"I saw Olivia's forehead crease. "Aren't you in your room?" The girl looked even more puzzled.I turned my head from side to side. That's right, this is my office. And I was lying on the sofa. I looked down at my hands and my body."You fainted, and I asked security to put you on the sofa.""Fainted?" I was shocked at Olivia's explanation. Could it have been a dream?"Yes. I woke you up because you seemed to be having a nightmare. You kept mentioning Newt and calling him a bastard. Is he someone you hate?"I sta

After that day, I couldn't see Olivia anymore and Tarron could truly dominate all the territories. Me and some other Hunters hid while making plans. The whole world was already in Tarron's hands. He turned other humans into slaves and also as experimental objects.We always moved around because the Black Hunter was still after us. For several months, I was devastated after Olivia's departure. What about our child in her womb? Did Olivia still keep it or had she already taken its life?I rubbed my face in frustration as memories of our last meeting flashed through my mind. Despite her continuous attacks on me, my inner self always told me that she did it for a reason."When will you return to being the old Leon?" I turned and found Eren standing not far from me. His hands were folded in front of him, and he looked at me with disappointment. "We need our leader, Leon. Stop thinking about Olivia. She has left you!"I could see the despair in his face. It had been more than 3 months since

I've been in this state for a long time. Just silent, staring blankly ahead. I woke up a while ago, shirtless, with a potion placed on the spot where I was stabbed. When I sat up and the potion fell, the wound on my chest was gone.“Leon! Thank goodness!” I turned towards the door. Eren and Jovian entered, immediately showing relieved expressions. “Your wound is healed?” Eren’s brow furrowed. “It seems your hunter abilities have returned.”I just remained silent and didn't respond to Eren's words. I was still in shock, knowing the truth that Olivia tried to kill me. I couldn't even find a reason why she would do this to me.Eren came closer, a look of awkwardness on his face. “We've been looking for Olivia, but we haven't found her.” He looked very regretful, as if he had made a big mistake. I didn't answer immediately and just stared at him with feelings that were hard to interpret.I had no intention of doing anything. I even lost my will to live now. The person I loved and trusted

I entered the building where you've been living all this time. I was so worried about Olivia and our child in her belly. But the place was so quiet when I entered.“Olivia! Eren!

I tried to use my telepathic skills. But after a while, no one answered my call.I looked around with a sense of unease. What had happened here while I was gone? I started looking for clues and traces left behind.This place was in disarray, as if a battle had just taken place. From some footprints below, I saw many shoe prints on the floor. I was sure that not just one or two people had come in, but a whole force. My brow furrowed when I saw the bloodstains on the floor. My heart raced when I saw the blood. There were many speculations in my head about whose blood it was.I crouched to examine the blood. It was still sticky and

"Newt! Use the Happy Spirit Pendant!" At the last moment, I want to try using the pendant I got from Bbird earlier. I was desperate, and it seemed like I was hoping for some luck at this moment.[USING HAPPY SPIRIT PENDANT][CONTINUE?][YES] [NO]Without hesitation, I pressed the 'yes' button. I waited for a moment, but nothing happened. Suddenly, I felt my nose itching, as if I was about to..."Achoo...!" After sneezing, I felt my body slowly shrinking back."What's happening?" I was confused because the effect of the dark elixir suddenly disappeared, and I returned to my original size. "Could it be that the Happy Spirit Pendant doesn't work?""Darn it!" This is not a luck potion but a misfortune potion. With this tiny size, how could I possibly defeat the zombie king? "No!" I shook my head.

I gasped, staring at the horde of zombies before me. Every time I wiped out one group, another would appear from the other side. I couldn't tell how long I'd been in this room—just constantly hunting, endlessly, it seemed."Only one weapon left to unlock." I glanced at the transparent screen in front of me, focusing on the amount of coins I had. Over 12 million coins, and I'd already maxed out all the weapons I had. "Special Item." I read on the corner, the words stretching and catching my attention.I flinched as a few zombies suddenly floated around me. I quickly shut down the holographic screen in front of me and swung my sword at them. But they dodged quickly.I traded my sword for an arrow. I aimed five arrows simultaneously at them. The arrows sped forward, hitting three of them. I repeated the process again and again.[SHADOW CLOAK UNLOCKED][Can absorb energy from low-level creatures.

I flinched as my body seemed to be sucked in by something. The scenery before me changed again. I turned my head and found Eliot beside me. I had returned from diving into Eliot's memories. I regulated my laboured breathing, as if from a long journey."That was the end of my life." Eliot broke the silence that had lasted for a while."But how could you die? Shouldn't a hunter's body have the ability to heal itself? And I thought your death seemed very easy."Eliot cleared his throat lightly. "The sword Tarron used to stab me in the heart wasn't just any ordinary sword.""Wasn't that your sword?" I saw clearly when Tarron took Eliot's sword and stabbed him in the chest.Eliot nodded. "It's the Soul Reaper. The sword I got after defeating the zombie king.""Zombie king?" This was the first time I'd heard about a zombie king. I often hunted zombies, but I'd never heard of him."If your hunt is perfect, you can face him. But the reward for that isn't the same. If you defeat him, you might

"Eliot." I walked towards the river, where a man with long white hair stood in the middle. His feet floated above the water as if his weight was no issue.I was a little startled to be here suddenly. This was one of the places in Smoky Hollow that I often visited. As I recall, I was resting under a large tree. How could I be here all of a sudden?I hesitated as my feet were about to step into the water. However, the hesitation disappeared when I felt something holding my feet from below. With confident strides, I walked closer to Eliot. I stopped when I was right behind him."Come forward! I've been waiting for you." I was surprised because it seemed my presence was expected by him. I stepped forward to be level with him. As I turned, I could see his handsome face with skin as white as snow. Thinking back, this was the first time I could see Eliot's face up close. I wasn't sure if this was a dream or reality, but I could feel a very strong energy."I've been waiting for this moment t

POV 3"Have you found Leon?" Tarron sat arrogantly in a chair, his back against the backrest, one leg crossed over the other, and his interlocked hands resting on his chest."Not yet, sir." Tarron's sharp gaze pierced Ian, who dared not lift his head. He had deliberately spared Ian's life back then, knowing they were both enemies. He wanted to use Ian to destroy Leon. Now, Ian was one of his trusted men, alongside Rakkan. Fuelled by his vengeance against Leon, Ian learned quickly, acquiring special abilities.After 1000 years of researching the system, Tarron had managed to cheat it. He could add others to become hunters. Since they weren't official hunters, they didn't have companions. Still, they could earn coins and skills like other hunters.Hearing Ian's answer, Tarron's gaze sharpened, his displeasure evident. Knowing Tarron was staring at him unblinking, Ian lowered his head further, his eyes fixed on the tip of his shoes, like a boy who had been caught doing something wrong."

Point of View 3Tarron descended the moss-covered stone steps leading to an underground chamber, with Ian following closely behind. The air grew colder as they descended further down. The atmosphere was denser than on the surface.Once Tarron's feet reached the bottom, he halted. His eyes immediately focused on an old man inside a giant aquarium. Upon seeing Tarron, the old man, named Calatius, shot him a glare filled with hatred.“Why do you never seem pleased to see me, Calatius?” With a mocking expression, Tarron questioned the man, moving closer until they were only a few metres apart.From where Tarron stood, the creature Calatius was clearly visible. He was a centaur, but all his legs had been severed. His crippled body lay upon a large rock."Why have you come to see me, Tarron? Haven't you taken all my strength?" Despite appearing elderly, Calatius's voice still carried a powerful tone. Even the glass of the aquarium vibrated from his voice."You never change. Yet, that is in
