Katie could only see the legs of the one who moved closer to her thanks to the state she was currently in.Her head was flat on the ground, helplessly transfixed on a single location.Judging by the tight pants that clung to the intruder’s legs, and his well-furnished boots, this person was human.“Don’t push yourself…” A voice suddenly sounded, making the girl suddenly feel at ease, instead of fear.“You should rest…”Katie’s eyes felt heavier than expected, and she slowly began giving in to the allure of sleep that had gotten stronger.If the girl didn’t know any better, she would think the voice—at least the owner—was actually the one inducing this. Her consciousness faded, and Lily melted away into her sleep.Seeing that the girl was already unconscious, the mysterious figure knelt before her and carried her unmoving figure.Met with no resistance, the figure—like that of an adult man—took Katie’s smaller body on his shoulder and began walking away.His dark cloak swung in respon

SHOP had three major functions.The Grand Store was one section where one bought items.The Selling Area was the place where Gifted sold their stuff to the System in exchange for Karma Points.Then the Auction Zone was where Gifted could put up their items for display and also see the items of other Gifted who did the same. As a result, people could buy from other people in exchange for Karma Points or Specific Items.Since it was all being monitored by the System… there was no room to swindle!It was as a result of this feature, and the fact that Gifted could use it with such ease, that would make everyone's life in his hell just barely bearable. Food, clothing, items, whatever a person required could be found there!However, one factor existed that nearly turned that hope into despair-Karma Points!Karma Points, which were completely useless in Tutorials, were granted to Gifted for completing tasks. For example, if a person killed his first Demon, or killed a whole bunch at once, Ka
The world completely changed ever since Christmas Day.Humans suddenly received Special Abilities, also known as Gifts, and a System to regulate their capabilities. If it only ended there, then one could have thought of the change as a good thing. Perhaps people would dub it a 'miracle'.Unfortunately, with these special powers… came consequences.The horror known as Demons emerged!It has been six months since then. The world that once knew even a semblance of peace had been plunged into the depths of chaos. The sky could barely maintain its wonderfully bright color and had already begun to dull.The air was heavy, and the stench of death could be found in every corner. Was this Hell on Earth? Perhaps… or maybe it was just a prelude for what would be coming…-----------------------------------------------------------[WELCOME TO THE THIRD ARC: RISE OF THE HOARDER]{Date: June 26th (6 Months After The 'Christmas Miracle'}Time Left Until The Arrival Of The Horsemen: 3 Months, 6 Weeks,
Leah silently moved across the Hallway with moderate speed, as using too much would deplete her vitality, and she had to save a lot for the fight to come.As a Thief, the girl also doubled as the scout of her Party. Since only she could make use of both [Camouflage] and [Sneak] Skills, it was certain that this sort of job could only be done by her.It was dangerous, sure, especially considering the fact that this was 'The Abandoned Tower'. Still, she could stride within it with at least some degree of confidence. It was because of the fact that the Return Stone was in her possession.For Leah to have undertaken such a dangerous venture, it was only natural for her to have been given such a resource, despite how expensive it was. Even if she encountered any form of insurmountable danger, the Thief could always return to the Starting Point with her life intact.This way, there was little to no risk attached to her mission.Of course, Leah had no intention of needlessly using the Return

The Tower Of Death…… Also known as the Realm Of The Undead, was a place swarming with creatures of the kind. Dark beings who had false life and resented the living.Apparently, the story of the Tower was that this was a prison to hold the embodiment of death, and those who fell prey to its power became undead and took on various forms depending on their abilities and Skill Sets.Of course, this also meant that a reward awaited anyone who cleared the Tower, and that was the power over Death and False Life! With such an alluring appeal, it was obvious that Gifted would desire to climb this Tower to get their hands on an ultimate ability that one couldn't even find in the SHOP.Of course, other rewards existed along the way, such as the Undead Summoning Ring and Necromancer Scroll that a famed Ranker possessed. With the power he obtained, he was able to make it within the ranks of the Top 100 Gifted in the world.If that was what he obtained merely on the 25th Floor, it was left to the
The group of people silently walked down the hallway, using their usual formation to ensure they had a semblance of safety in such uncharted territory.The one at the rear, Leah, had an uncomfortable expression on her face, but she kept moving despite the gnawing feeling in her heart.This was what people referred to as 'Bad Vibes', and that was what she was getting. As they drew closer to the Elevator that would take them to the Sixteenth Floor, her instincts screamed at her to turn back, but she couldn't very well abandon her teammates… especially after they decided by Majority Rule!Back when they voted, even the cautious members of the team agreed to the expedition, only she was against it. When they asked for her rationale, there was no concrete answer she could give, so everyone decided to progress.Leah knew it would be unfair to try imposing her values on her teammates, especially if it turned out that she was being scared unnecessarily. That would only mean a huge loss for he
