“Uarghhhhhhh!!!”

The wounded man’s voice still filled the air, and it was ticking me off at this point.

Who would have thought that he wasn’t even the real deal and was just some faker who most likely wanted to impress Larry with his bravado.

He must have thought that doing so would secure him a higher standing with their ‘hero’ when they got to the Camp of their dreams.

‘I can be useful when it counts, so watch me, Larry!’ That must have been what he was thinking at the time.

Looking at him now, though, he had no semblance of dignity left.

Using my superhuman speed, I swiftly closed the distance between us, tapping him lightly.

He instantly vanished, disappearing into [Subspace] in a flash.

This caused even more shocked cries from the crowd.

‘Good grief, will the noise of this stupid mob ever end?’

“W-what did you just do?!” The people cried, widening their eyes as they stared at me fearfully.

“Oh, I suppose you guys don’t know about it… my Gift, that is.” My eyes moved to Larry w

    “Let’s stop fighting.” Larry suddenly said, rising from where he crashed.He had a few bruises from the impact, but they were nothing spectacular. “Why don’t you hear me out?”Judging from his countenance, Larry was pretty confident about whatever he was about to say. Curiosity began welling up within me, but I also knew I didn’t have a lot of time to spend.“What makes you think I’ll want to listen?” I asked, rolling my eyes.For all I know, he could just be trying to stall until the Cooldown time of his Skills had passed, or he might be looking for an alternative way to escape. After our brief clash, it was obvious to everyone who the superior one was.“Larry, just kill him!”“There’s no use reasoning with someone like that!”“He’s a monster! Please don’t go easy on him.”Apparently, not everyone watched the match closely. To them, did it seem like Larry was holding back in his fight against me?‘I take it back. It wasn’t obvious to everyone!’“Will you losers just quiet down?! I d

    “… Disappointing… It appears I overestimated you.” I smiled, bringing my face closer to Larry.The moment I said this, a deep glare appeared on his face.As someone who had killed another before, he must have been familiar with human nature. An unmerciful person wasn’t going to bite no matter how many pleadings or deals one tried to make.Realizing that it was pointless to make further deals or argue with me, Larry knew he had to fight or escape.Larry’s glare suddenly turned into a smile, and a dim light emanated from his body. Perhaps it was a stroke of luck on his end, but his skills were now ready for use.“Finally!” He beamed, covering his body in the shadowy ability that made him intangible for some time.‘I knew it. He was also stalling for time.’ I mused.Larry took this opportunity as his cue to leave. He couldn’t take the people behind him as his prize, but at least he would be alive! Dashing swiftly at me, his body passed through me as he ran ahead in order to escape.Larr

    Larry was still recoiling from my words, but I didn’t have any time to waste on him. Raising my hand to tap him, I drew even closer.He must have taken this as a window of opportunity, because he swiftly launched his arms at me, generating spikes through them. I watched as the sharp-bladed arms lunged at me, but his futile attempts at survival were such a letdown.Using , I blocked off his assault and proceeded to touch him.“The only reason you’re not dead is because I need you for something… remember that!” I whispered in his ears.He shivered and nodded slightly, glad that I was sparing his life. Unknown to him, though, the fate I had planned for him was much worse than death by my hands.Larry instantly disappeared into [Subspace] and became my property as well.

    Lara, the defiant woman froze, taking a few steps back as Hank replied to her statement.Hank was a little astonished by her behavior, but quickly got over his surprise. He looked at everyone in front of him too and found out that their glares had vanished and they were quite docile.‘Hehe, looks like they’re finally beginning to see reason!’ His thoughts rang.Quickly taking advantage of their current state, Hank pressured them to leave once more.“I’m saying this for the last time. If you cowards won’t get up off your asses and leave with me, we’ll all die!” The people became even more frightened as Hank finished his words. Initially, he was happy that they trembled with every word he spoke. However, their eyes displayed far greater horror than he could have imagined.‘A-am I that scary…?’ He asked himself.The people shrank back, trembling even more.“P-please… we weren’t planning on joining…” One of them broke the silence and said timidly.The others nodded obediently, looking su

    It had been five days since I first arrived at the Camp. Six since I came into contact with Anne’s team. It hadn’t been very long, but the memories that I made here were incomparable to any other that I had in the past. Despite my malevolent plans, and everything else that I had in store for the whole Camp, my heart had warmed up to the group as well.‘You guys… thank you for everything! I had a lot of fun too!’ I beamed.After all, today was the day I bid farewell to Ana and her team.The Camp members gathered to bid them farewell, watching as they left the Camp. It was very early in the morning, not even seven yet.Yesterday, after Anne revealed their departure, I put on a little act and we all had a wonderful time conversing like a family. It was a strange, yet thrilling experience, and for a moment I was happy.However, playtime was over. I stood at the forefront of the crowd, cheerfully waving goodbye to Anne, Peter, Daniel, and Lily, as they bravely marched to procure the rema

    9:07 AM.That was the exact time we prepared to set out. The Subjugation team members were already outside the gate of the camp, looking beyond it and at the looming fate that was in store for them.Our forces consisted of exactly seventy-five members. Adam was appointed the leader of the group, as expected.The remaining members of the camp consisted of those who were involved in the borehole and planting project. Since no manpower could be spared, anyone who had no important role in the Camp was made to participate in the Subjugation.Everyone already knew this, so there were no complaints.“Now then… depart!!!” Charles raised his voice, encouraging everyone to leave for their impending doom or victory.Tasha accompanied us, serving as Adam’s assistant leader since she was older and more experienced.Of course, this was well calculated by Charles. After all, if he, the Camp leader couldn’t join in on the battle as a result of the obligations he had, which was to observe the pertinen

    “SKURRIIIIIIKKK!!!” A sudden cry echoed in the air, sending chills down the spines of everyone.The sound didn’t originate from our group, and the high pitch indicated that it certainly hadn’t come from a human.“T-take formation!” Adam ordered, instantly realizing what was happening.The already tense people jumbled up their movements since they were extremely flustered. Most had never been in an actual fight with deadly Demons before, and even if they had been, the suddenness of the situation made everything unsettling.The earth trembled, and more of the blood-curdling cries from earlier rang in the air once again.Slowly, they began to make their entrance. It was an absurd and terrifying sight. Dozens of demons appeared while having the signature slimy green bodies and disgusting features that were commonly associated with their kind. They appeared larger than the one Anne’s team had faced and didn’t look any less dangerous.They appeared all around us, closing their distance slow

    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.

    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 Dragon 1

    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
