2024-10-29 19:42:56Tasha was my hostage. As long as I had her, Charles would never revolt against me.
Besides, it wasn’t like I was lying to him about Tasha’s safety. There was no safer space for her to be in than [Subspace]. Time was completely stagnant there, so no matter how long Tasha remained within my Gift’s storage space, she wouldn’t be in any danger.‘If anything, I’m being generous here…’“Charles, you should understand by now that the only reason you’re still breathing is that I see some value in keeping you alive. Since your source of motivation is that woman, I won’t bring any harm to her… I can promise you that.” I spoke honestly.“So, speak. You must answer my questions honestly. All of them!”Charles gulped as he thought about my statement. If he refused me, he would die, same with his wife. In such a situation, there was really only one choice left for him.Absolute Obedience!-------------------------------------

“Tell me more about this, Charles,” I demanded, excitedly gazing into the flustered man’s eyes.He did as I instructed, not sparing the details of the whole narration given to him by the Camp’s Ace.“So, it was Adam’s team that defeated them, eh? Hobgoblins…” I mumbled amusedly.During my earlier conversation with Charles, he had told me about Adam and his expedition team. Apparently, he was their ace, and the one with the highest level thanks to his Gift.‘At least now I know who that bitch, Chloe, is leeching off of.’The most surprising aspect of the discovery was Adam’s sudden change. While I hadn’t met him yet, I got all I could about him from Charles. I also saw his Status Information from the book he had given me, which confirmed it.“Adam… is now a good guy…?!”My shock was very great since I never expected things to turn out this way. Usually, the protagonists meet their bullies after so long, and

I paused, noticing that his facial expression appeared conflicted. Perhaps I needed to pry even further.“This Camp won’t last much longer, and there’s no telling what could happen in the future. Besides… with your wife’s ability and your brains, I don’t think it will be impossible to survive out there. So, tell me Charles… why do you remain bound here? Why are you intent on leading this failed venture and supporting those useless maggots that merely take up space in this place?”His fists tightened when he heard my last statement, but I didn’t care. What else would one call a bunch of useless liabilities that only knew how to do domestic work.“This is a sinking ship, Charles… and you know it. It’s only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down.” “You think I don’t know that?!” He finally burst out, unable to control himself anymore.A smile formed on my face since I had finally gotten the reaction I wanted.“Why then?” “Huu… It’s none of your business…” He said in a low t

“Why don’t you just kill some people off? That way your supplies will last you till then… What do you think?”An eerie silence crept across the office as none of us spoke for a moment.“W-what are you-?!” Charles stuttered in shock as he looked at me.He appeared incredibly astonished that I had mentioned murder like it was nothing.“Oh, don’t look at me like that. It’s an option and a very good one at that!” I responded, now feeling like the weird one in the room.“H-how can you even suggest that? What do you think human life is?” He responded, gritting his teeth as he spoke.This made me sigh in disappointment. I thought Charles was a rational man, capable of doing the most expedient thing to ensure his survival, but it appeared that I had overestimated him.‘As expected, the concept of morality still shackles him… How unfortunate.’It was evident that the camp had reached an impasse, and they were in a very difficult situation. If they didn’t solve the problem of food and water fas
I Got A System In The Ruined World Bargaining Chip
I understood Charles’s stance.Larry was a wild card, but he was a card nonetheless, and one that didn’t seem too smart at that. “Besides, he helps out in the Camp and his ability is quite useful. There’s no merit in being too impatient and prematurely ejecting him from the Camp.” Charles added.“I see. The reason you also placed him in Anne’s group is because of her contradicting Alignment, and her stiff desire for justice. If he acts out of line or behaves suspiciously, she’ll take action instantly.” I stated.Charles nodded. “Well, I guess that’s acceptable. My curiosity has been satiated for now. I should probably leave now before those guys get worried. I’ll be dropping by later though.” I replied, opening the door to take my leave.“W-wait…” Charles beckoned.I paused, turning to look at him.“What is it?”My question made him look hesitant, but he clenched his fist and summoned the courage to ask me anyway.“M-my wife… please can you let her go now?” He asked.I remained sile

Still, curiosity ate at me. Perhaps it was due to my childish nature, but I wanted to know what was going on.‘That won’t be a problem though…’ A wide grin formed on my face.Bringing out a speaker from [Subspace], I placed it on my mattress and switched it on.>BZZZTZZZZZ< A low buzzing sound first came out, and then it began working perfectly.~I suppose everyone is here, so we can begin…~ Charles’s voice came through the speaker.He was already addressing the Expedition team, and I was able to hear everything going on there in real-time. How?“His office is fucking bugged!” I smiled wildly.-----------------------------------------“I’ve called you all here for a very important reason. Usually, we have our briefings before every Expedition mission, but this is different.” Charles said.His face looked grim, even more than usual. He was still shaken by his experience with Damian, but the Camp Leader tried to keep his composure.Everything rested in his hands, and he could not afford

“Now, let’s move to the second issue at hand… our current project!” At this point, the executives within the Camp were more concerned. Since they were the ones in charge of the internal activities, it was their forte. “From the reports I’ve gotten, in addition to my calculations, all preparations will be made in two weeks. The bore-hole project, soil gathering, manure processing, and the planting activities should all be made by then.” Charles continued. Once the borehole has been dug, the first couple of gallons of water were going to be dirty and unpurified. These would be taken, stored, and used for watering the grounds frequently. While expecting harvest, with the speed-up effect of their key Gifted, the produce would only be ready after a week. “We’re going with corn first since it takes only a few months to grow in normal conditions. With our Gifted’s help, it will be the fastest to grow among others.” Charles added.
I Got A System In The Ruined World Confrontation
~What other choice do we have? We fight!~ Charles’s voice came out of the speaker beside me as I lay on the mattress.“So that’s your plan. Interesting…”The discussions after that were one-sided since Charles was explaining his strategy to the Camp executives.The summary of the matter was that a couple of scout teams would be sent to scour the area in order to confirm the possibility of a horde approaching. The scout teams had two days to complete their mission and return to the Camp to warn them of any impending danger, or assure them of the absence of any.The scouts were going to be a group of two each, and a total of four teams. They were sent to various areas to make the exploration faster.~In order to be safe, I’d like us to be as thorough as possible.~ Charles added. After they had agreed with this decision, Charles began making plans for Anne’s team to retrieve my remaining supplies in the Base

“Erm, I don’t really know since I wasn’t present when it all happened…” Adam stated flatly.His response wasn’t the kind that Chloe wanted, making her freeze in disappointment.As a penitent, Adam made it his policy not to harm anyone and to be as good as he could to everyone.“I can’t accuse Anne of something I didn’t see her do.” He mumbled, looking at Anne’s face.She nodded at him with approval, showing him respect.“You did the right thing, Adam.”Anne’s praise made Adam’s heart feel warm. He always liked being complimented for doing the right thing, another reason why he always did it at any given opportunity.Well, another reason was that he respected Anne a great deal.“So, you’re picking her side over mine?! You’re the worst, Adam!” Chloe whined.Adam, upon seeing that his girlfriend was deeply hurt by his actions attempted to embrace her as he usually did, but she quickly ste

Epilogue
In the quiet aftermath of the tumultuous ARMAGEDDON, I found myself standing at the precipice of a new reality. The remnants of the battle lingered in the air, and I could feel the residual power and (G) Essence coursing through the fabric of existence. As I gazed upon the aftermath, a solemn determination settled within me – a resolve to forge a reality free from the influence of both Demons and Gods.With newfound purpose, I raised my hands, drawing upon the remnants of power that swirled around me. As I concentrated, the very fabric of existence seemed to warp and bend to my will. The Demons and Gods, the Administrators of this chaotic universe, were to be left behind in the debris of ARMAGEDDON.In a surge of cosmic energy, I began to shape a pristine reality, one untouched by supernatural forces. The skies cleared, the land became fertile, and the seas calmed. I meticulously crafted a world where the laws of nature reigned supreme, untouched by the meddling hands of higher bei

"Oh well, there's nothing else I can do…" Even if I was annoyed about the whole thing with Arthur, it was still a fact that he lost.Thanks to their emergency escape, the Pariah party missed their chance to challenge the Hidden Floor of the Tower Of Conquerors.Not only that, but their plan to use Leah and the others as hostages didn't work. They were in my [Subspace].'It's not like they matter to me at this point…'I could simply keep them as (G) Karma Point banks.Now that I could once again resort to farming (G) Karma from people, wasn't this the perfect opportunity to gain as many points as I could?'Ah, but I need quite the number of Points to advance to B Rank…'My Gift was currently in C Rank. While the abilities were pretty broken at this point, I couldn't help but wonder what awaited me if I could get a higher Rank.'With this whole gods business, I need to get as strong as possible…'With a smile, I gazed upon the warbling portal in front of me."Speaking of stronger… I sh

The Final Bout
What happens when a person keeps climbing the Tower?Yes, with each Level Up, wounds heal and the body is restored. However, mental fatigue is something that piles up. The strain a person has is something that gathers over time.The Rankers knew this quite well, so they all agreed to climb together. It was very obvious what they were planning on doing.—Letting the other person die!In this world, there were many ways to get stronger. It was also possible to use certain loopholes in the System—especially if one wasn't an Evil Aligned yet.Since the Rankers were in a Party, they must have been very certain of their Alignments, making them completely 'trust' one another.But, these things could be deceptive.Just as I managed to kill a bunch of people without a change in my Chaotic Neutral Alignment, the same applied to a lot of people—especially in a dangerous place like the Tower.As they fought monsters, it was certain that Rankers would get weakened. Then… if, by chance, some 'accid

[SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT!][The Tower Of War Has Been Cleared!]Torrents of thoughts flowed in my mind as I looked at the System Window displayed in front of me.'What the hell…?'Why?How?Who?It didn't make any sense.The average Level for the current denizens of the world was 50. The strong ones were about to reach Level 100, but I didn't expect anyone to have attained Level 150 talk-less 200.The Levels and Grades of the monsters climbed as one advanced through the Floors, and since the Towers had similar difficulty, I expected others to receive the same treatment I experienced.No one could have succeeded in that venture, but me. It wasn't pride… but reality!However…'Could it be.—?!'Perhaps it was something I failed to consider. I had always suspected it, but after the Tutorial ended and I kept a watchful eye on the Leaderboard, Auction, Tower Updates, and several other elements of this new world, my doubts were cleared.There shouldn't have been anyone else who was granted somet

The Highest Ranks
"Rise and shine, sleepy head." A voice greeted Abhoth as he opened his astral eyes.His vision blurred, but it only lasted for a moment.Soon, he could see everything around him. It was the exact scene he remembered before dying—the underground room where he was brewing his Elixir.Did he not die? Had he managed to survive?Countless thoughts lurked in Abhoth's ghost-like body… until he realized the fact… that he was in a ghost-like body.He nearly shrieked, seeing as he had a near-transparent form, and floated like a ghost. A purple aura emanated from him, and his body was incorporeal—well, nearly.He was made of energy, and he could even see his actual body—his corpse—lying on the ground.Abhoth didn't need a prophet to tell him that he was dead.'Ghost Magic…?!' His thoughts rang, and imaginary cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He was a ghost, so he couldn't really sweat.Still, Abhoth understood the implications of what had happened to him. As an expert in Magic, he knew of th

The audience was astonished!Sweat fell from their brows and their bodies shuddered. Even though they were protected by the sturdy pink layer, none of them were immune to the chill that coursed through their bones.The group had thought they saw the full extent of the Masked Man's powers—or at least close to it. However, his current actions shattered their preconceived notion."I-impossible…""This can't be real… right?""I can't believe this… is he really human?""Masked Hero! You're so amazing!"They all had different ways of expressing their shock.For starters, the group didn't know how it was possible to clear the battlefield of corpses. They had seen so many dead bodies—like an insurmountable sea—yet, in an instant, the Masked Man cleared them all.It was a feat like none other.As if that wasn't amazing enough, a massive Dragon suddenly emerged from a dark cloud and soared into the sky.

There were many ways to win.I knew that from the get-go. I could use [Subspace] to shave off parts of the Dragon's body, reducing its health until it completely fell apart.I could use my purification to severely weaken it and blast the monster to kingdom come. An easy solution would also be to use the seventy-one Treasures OF War to impale the beast on all ends. If I added my Mana to them and increased their efficiency, the monster stood no chance.I could keep going on and on as to how I could win, but what was the point?Once in a while, a person needed some excitement in their life—I was no exception."COME!"My declaration prompted the Dragon Of Storms—or rather, what was left of him—to charge at me with frightening speed.>WHOOOOSSHSHHH

The area around the beast was charred, and nothing but black, sooty grounds surrounding it. Impaling it were several weapons; ranging from spears to blades.They all looked very powerful and valuable.There were seventy-one of the weapons that pierced the monster's body… most likely what killed it.My eyes narrowed on the dead beast, and a wry smile appeared on my face. It now made sense why I sensed such powerful energy from beyond the gate back then.This monstrosity was the cause.Laid on the ground, surrounded by destruction and carnage was one of the most powerful races of Demons that existed.—A Dragon!Judging from the battle scene, I had a fair idea of what transpired here… at least what the narrative of this Floor was.A battle occurred, and the several races combined forces. They had a common enemy, and that was the fallen beast at the center of the battle. I had an idea of the difficulty if seven hundred thousand individuals ganged up on the creature.'It's at least a Grade

I realized my childish body was too inefficient.In so many ways, the fact that I was below average in height and build was going to impede my future plans… which was why I decided to solve the problem.Using Lara’s Gift, now my Skill, I could shape-shift into any form I desired. However, it consumed Mana, and it also had a duration despite how much I maxed it out. Since I couldn't maintain it for too long, the ability was useless as a permanent solution.Scouring for a solution in the SHOP, I finally found my answer. It was a Potion known as the Perfect Growth Compound. After reading its description, I understood its function.The potion simply elevated whoever drank it to their ideal, most perfect physical state. As a result, it could take me to the peak I could ever attain physically.I was a little worried that I was going to remain short, but seeing as there was also a Reversal Potion being sold, I decided to take my chances.Who would have thought… it actually worked!I grew to
