“I… what… am I doing here….?” A voice echoed in the darkness.

It was that of a lone boy, shrouded in what could only be described as a pitch-black surrounding. It was completely void—nothing except for the young man who agonized over his existence could be noticed in this realm of nothingness.

Upon closer inspection of this young man’s being, he had no face. He was just a drifting soul, a form of energy within the vast steam of nonexistence.

“I…” His voice echoed in the dark even though he didn’t have any lips to even render words.

“I… remember…”

Suddenly, memory flashes of what transpired before finding himself in the void played in his mind.

The soul remembered his name—Adam—and the life he had lived. Just as if he watched a movie, the lone existence witnessed his entire life play out in front of him.

It was not to be desired!

“I… was a bully…?”

The countless moments of torture he rendered upon weaker students manifested. The soul, having no proper sense of right or wrong reflected

    I would have fainted several times over had it not been for my [Merciless] and [Dominator] Titles that seemed to keep my mental pillars intact.I felt like I was barely on the edge of sanity!Who… rather, what… was the being who was appearing beside me?!“Human… No… Abberation…” A marvelous voice appeared behind me, causing all the hair on my skin to stand as I felt like I would die over and over again just from hearing it.My stiff neck was forced to turn in both curiosity, dread, and total reverence.My shivering body turned and my head remained bowed as I looked behind me, completely ignoring Lily who seemed to have collapsed as a result of the sheer pressure of whatever had manifested.My eyes scoured the ground, but I found nothing on it. That only meant one thing…‘It… is floating…?!’Yes, I could sense the owner of such terrifying pressure, yet melodious voice, hanging in the air—yet no shadow was evident on the ground.I gulped as I reluctantly raised my head to view the stran

    “We’ll use ‘him’…” The Supreme ones decided.Who?Why, it was the very person the singularity —Damian Stark—had struck down using the System’s loophole. If they could use that person, then it would be easier to obtain the desired effect.Adam, the Gifted who possessed a Lawful Good Alignment, one of the best an individual could possess, and was the epitome of righteousness… such a personality was in correct sync with the divine abilities of the Gods.Unknown to most, a human was more adept at receiving special privileges the closer their Alignments were to the Absolute Good area. In contrast, Penalties were bestowed upon those who were closer to the Absolute Evil region as well.Thanks to Adam’s Alignment, he was the perfect vessel the Gods required to pour out a tiny fraction of power to. Using a bit of the (G) Essence flowing within them, they infiltrated the boy’s dissipating soul and granted him enough power to temporarily revive and fight.Of course, thanks to their limited juris

    My heart thumped faster than it had ever done in any situation. The woman who emptily stared at me reeked of bad news, but my body was still acclimating to the immense pressure I was feeling.She had declared her intention to kill me, so there was no way I could dawdle any further.“I shall commence now.” Her voice rang, and suddenly light particles formed around her hand to form a silver blade.>SWISHBOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

    “Guarghhh!!!” I spat out blood as the armor and all the gear I had on were completely pulverized.They shattered apart, turning into dust.It was at this point that I realized how hopeless the situation truly was. Now stuck in a pile of rubble, and coughing violently, I watched as the woman hovered above me.Her blade was stretched at me, and her cold eyes told me my end was truly at hand.‘Shit! Shit! Shit!’What exactly was going on? Why did this woman come? Why now?Millions of questions rushed into my head, but my Title suppressed the overwhelming emotion that would have consumed me. At the moment, there was no use in crying about the unfairness of the situation.I had to survive, no matter what!There was no way I had any intention to die here! No matter the opponent, they had a weakness! Besides, thanks to my panic and attempts to flee, there were so many things I forgot to try.“Fine. You want to kill me, eh? Well… I won’t go down without a fight!”I rose to my feet and began m

    “Haa… Haaa…” I struggled to rise.My eyes darted across the field and saw the half-eaten bodies of the Gifted I had mercilessly slaughtered for the sake of my (G) Karma Points.Was this the same feeling they had before their demise?‘No! I’m not dying here!’ I gritted my teeth in annoyance, refusing to accept my loss after coming this far.I simply had to figure out a way to win. No enemy was invincible!‘Nothing in my arsenal works, and I’ve nearly depleted my stockpile thanks to acting on its own accord…’ I began analyzing.I couldn’t use [Subspace] on her or any of her weapons—even down to her feathers!Trust me, I tried.There was also such a large gap in our physical abilities, so no matter what action I took, she could easily react to it. I also couldn’t escape because she just caught up to my movements and even overtook me.My only saving grace was that the Angel, for some reason, was holding back. Her movements were easy to read, and it didn’t seem like she was making any eff

    I was in so much pain that I forgot how to make a sound.Choking on my blood and drowning in agony, I could barely even move my body.‘Argh! It hurts! It hurts so much!!!’ My mind rang as I desperately wished for the pain to end.The Angel, as usual, hovered above me, showing me the image of death. I was forced to face despondency once again—the inevitability of my loss.Was I going to die? Was this really the end? I knew the answer to that at this point.‘I… I…’“You are too dangerous to exist. Your level of threat has been completely analyzed. This will be the last attack.” The angel remarked.“Huff… Huff…” I made heavy breaths, looking at the figure that floated in the sky that glared at me.Multiple bodies of the dead littered the ground, leaving only me standing. Many of my blades were already broken, rendered useless in the face of overwhelming force.Shining brightly, the white shadow nearly dimmed my eyes, and if not for my resistance I would have been blinded by it.“It’s use

    Perhaps Lara’s immunity to the Angel’s overwhelming pressure had something to do with [Subspace], or her continuous connection with me. Regardless, I had to do something… and fast! was working, but it was too slow! The best thing for me to do was Level Up, but even then… what could I do if my opponent was stronger than me regardless! If I took my focus off my opponent for even a second, it would spell my end. And so, even though I had temporarily prevented the winged lady’s assault on me, it wasn’t like I could deal any damage either. As a result, both I and my opponent… were at an impasse. How long would that last, though? ‘If she decides to cover Lara in the same golden sphere as she did for Katie, that’s the end for me. I currently have no strength left. Shit…’ No matter how hard I thought, there was no way out for me—even though Lara was currently holding the fort. “Lara… looks like this is the end…” I smiled at the woman who stood a couple of inches from me.

    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.

    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. The Demon—a being that far surpassed anything they had seen up until that moment—charged bri

    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

    New Party 6

    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
