Another thing I told Lara to do was to mention the details of her Skills to me. It was a pain that I couldn’t see her Status Window myself. Yes, a real pain indeed!She explained the functions of her new Skills, giving me a general idea of how they worked. Apparently, , just like the one I had in my Skill Slot, allowed Lara to use Basic Spells as long as her MP allowed it. However, unlike mine, she already had four preset Spells available for use—each belonging to the basic elements; Water, Earth, Fire, and Air.I felt a tinge of jealousy, but this was what I got for not choosing the Job. The System didn’t help me choose presets for my exact Skill. I had to learn them manually… and to do that, I would need a Magic Item.‘Tsk’ I clicked my tongue as I got to know about the second Skill. gave Lara a twenty percent increase in offensive ability when using any Elemental magic, as well as a 10 percent damage reduction from Elemental attacks.They didn’t seem much now, but I was certain t
“I see… so that’s why most of your members aren’t here…” Kevin Smith smiled, rubbing the rough beards that covered his chin.Charles nodded and explained the Subjugation plan, though not in detail, and the gravity of the danger that loomed on all of them.He bit his lip and clenched his fist in frustration several times while speaking. He was terribly upset by Anne’s death, as well as the early demise of all her Party members except Katie.‘Forgive me, Anne, Daniel, Peter… even you, Katie … I’m such a coward!’Even though Katie hadn’t been killed, her fate was already sealed. Charles could predict that the reason they spared her was that her Level was too low to give any reasonable amount of EXP.While he was of a considerably high Level, enough to give EXP, they hadn’t killed him either. The reason for this was due to his position as leader. He held a strategic position of relevance, so Kevin and his minions decided there was worth in keeping him alive… at least, for now.“And? They’
“I understand your concerns, Adam… and I respect them. However, you have all reached the limits of your strength. You need ample rest…”Adam and the rest of the Camp members lowered their heads and looked guilty. Despite their good intentions, they were only going to be liabilities. The bunch had also realized it!“… Besides, it’s because your Levels are all low, that’s why you can not sense it…” My tone became more ominous as I looked at them and released an inkling of my pressure to make them feel terrified.“… If you cross that third Gate with your current Levels, you’ll all die!”I could hear all of the Gifted swallow the moment my statement dropped. Their eyes showed something that had been missing for some time… fear!Sweat formed on Adam’s face and his face fell as well.“Ah, I see… understood.” Aware of his own weakness, the boy bit his lip in frustration and decided to leave me at my decision.It was a good thing none of them pursued any further.Seeing as no Demons were left
With my eyes fixated on the one that seemed to be the most powerful of the bunch, I whispered words to myself.“That one… is strong!”But, I wasn’t about to get myself discouraged.Casters, Advanced Warriors, Advanced Archers, Advanced Tankers… I could see them all stretch at a distance.They all took their stances. Archers took their aims, Casters were ready to launch Spell, as the others prepared for their moves as well. This was a much larger crowd than anything I had faced so far, and they contained only the most elite of forces.Yet… yet… what was this confidence that was brimming from within me? “Huu… seems like a waste to use it now since I only get to do it once, but… let’s see what you’ve got. Activate Skill: Parlor Tricks.”[System Information]~Your Skill Is In Effect~[.]Seeing this notification, I decided to pass time by dropping from my elevated standpoint, knowing that this would signal all hell to be let loose. But, I was prepared for that much.With a single leap,
Grades—the very means by which one could measure the power of a Demon.Levels of Demons are proportional to their race and Grades, so it isn’t impossible to see a Level 100 Grade 1 monster lose to a Level 10 Grade 2. Grades essentially separate what is possible and impossible for a Gifted in battle.This was how I could explain things simply.All monsters I had encountered so far belonged to the Grade 1 category. They were all Lesser Demons with low sets of Stats. They had numbers, sure, but their quality was something that could be overcome.However, there was an exception to the Demons I had fought and killed… the Boss of the first and only Gate I successfully closed—The Hell Kobold King.It was a Grade 2 Demon!Usually, that would have signaled the end of my life at that moment. Fortunately, that Demon was affected by the Status Ailment of Hunger that caused its Stats to reduce to such pathetic figures.‘I always thought it was too weak to be a Grade 2…’Even with its Status Condi
My enemy had far superior Stats compared to mine. Currently, my Status Window looked like this—[STATUS INFORMATION]-Name: Damian Stark-Level: 281 – Exp: 11.52%-Race: Human{JOB}(Primary Job) Thief(Secondly Job): -Age: 16 Years-Sex: Male-Height: 5” 3. – Weight: 115 pounds-Alignment: Chaotic Neutral-Karma Points: 2,130-(G) Karma Points: 155[Stats]-HP: 14,150/14,150-MP: 3,896/3,896-Strength: 2,860 (520)-Agility: 14,350 (412)-Vitality: 14,150 (130)-Intelligence: 42,650 (910)-(G) Factor: 60-Gift: [Subspace]-Items Equipped: None-Allies: None[Additional Information]A human with the last Gift.

“Clench your teeth!”Putting all my strength into my blow, I gave a straight jab and connected with the hot flesh of the opponent.>BOOOOOOMMMM!!!RUMBLE!
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
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
"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
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
