“Wow, Arran hints have ready heated up. I almost lost my life in the beginning. These guys have really learned how to be sneaky.”Arran stayed in the corner somewhere and silently observed the battlefield. Everywhere he looked, he could see people fighting to the death without regard for their lives at all.No matter how many times Arran saw it, he could not stop being amazed. In real life, it was impossible to see such fanatical determination when it comes to dying. Not even the most ruthless person could resolve themselves to death in a battle, as they would always look for ways to win and survive.But not these guys. These guys were the real deal. In the first place, there were here to die, so they didn’t care for anything else except to take as many people with them as possible.Everywhere Arran laid his sight on the battlefield, he could see limbs severed and crushed heads, all of which were strewn across the floor like some piece of garbage.The battlefield was a chaotic mess of
The place Arran revived was relatively quiet. There were only dead bodies lying around him, with nobody fighting. Compared to the other places on the battlefield, Arran’s spot looked like a paradise.But it won’t be like this for long. The only reason this place was like this was that the axe man that Arran had split in half previously had killed everybody else in the area before being killed by Arran. But as long as Arran continued to stay here, many more people would flock to this place like a flood, just like the last assailant that killed Arran had.Unlike Arran, none of the others that died in this place had revived. It was because they couldn’t.Arran was the only one that could revive after dying here. It was because this was his reality dungeon that had appeared shortly after opening his reality gate.The reality dungeon was a perpetual battlefield where the only thing that existed was battle and slaughter. It was created for Arran to train his combat abilities in order to dea
“Seriously, big brother, have you forgotten? We are connected to your dreamscape so we can naturally appear here. Don’t tell me you didn’t know this?”Veil spoke with doubt on her innocent face. Her red eyes looked at him curiously, almost as if she was asking why he didn’t know such a simple thing.Faced with Veil’s close scrutiny, Arran turned away in embarrassment. Then he tried to defend himself.“Of course, I know you are connected to by dreamscape. But this dreamscape and the other one are completely different from each other. There’s no way you should appear here, so how did you do it?”As Arran spoke, he swung his body around to dodge a javelin that was aimed at him. As he spun, Arran caught the speeding bolt and snatched it away from the air, then threw it back at his assailant after completing a full circle, skewering him to the ground along with a whole row of people behind him.“But they are not.”At the moment, Arran threw the javelin back at its owner, Veil spoke.“What
Arran was positively beaming with delight. He had completely forgotten about his earlier motivation. His current mood was as if he had been injected with chicken blood and could go ten rounds with an experienced courtesan.In a good mood, Arran turned to Veil and smiled at her.“Hey Veil, I remember I haven’t gotten a chance to try out your abilities yet. How about it? Want me to take you for a spin?”At this request, Veil’s face lit up with excitement and her blood-red eyes shone with a fervent light.In a hurry, Veil answered, “Yes, yes, yes!”“You don’t know how long I’ve waited, big brother. Seeing little brother get a go with you before made me really jealous. Now it’s finally my turn.”“Hurry, big brother!”“Alright, I get it. Get ready.”Arran smiled. He could understand Veil’s excitement because honestly, he was excited too.Feeling the anticipation of testing Veil’s abilities, Arran quickly said to Zaburi.“Sorry 'Zab', I’m gonna make use of your sister for some time. Hope yo
Wielding Veil, Arran was a reaper on the battlefield, his swings carrying out a mass culling of his enemies' lives, leaving only broken bodies littered around the battlefield.The screams of Arran’s victims as they succumbed under [Dark Curtain]’s beam mixed with the war cries of the other warriors who sought death at every waking moment, creating a beautiful symphony for the coming herald of death.The battlefield in the reality dungeon seemed to be divided into two sides. On one side were all the warriors, fighting for no reason at all. And on the other side was Arran, who seemed to have pitted himself against everybody else.Arran’s wanton slaughter drew the other warriors' attention. They all flocked to him like bees to honey, each driven by an insane madness to kill him.As for Arran, he sheared through the attackers like he was reaping wheat, every swing of Veil’s blade leaving an open clearing before Arran as broken bodies were sent flying. But without hesitation, more people w
Along with Arran’s breakthrough to another realm, a new opponent who could use an actualized concept to attack had appeared. This new change in the reality dungeon provided Arran with the perfect opportunity to fight other concept users and make up for an aspect he sorely lacked in.With a more powerful opponent, Arran was really looking forward to the battle ahead.Arran’s thoughts did not distract him from evading the bone spears that were intent on skewering him.With nimble steps, he evaded every bone spear before they could even break through the ground.The same could not be said for the other warriors on the battlefield. These unlucky warriors who were minding their own business were drawn into a calamity, not of their own making. Pale white bone spears with frightening power broke through the bloody earth and pierced through the bodies of everyone in the way.Upon their deaths, the warriors fell to the ground only to become nourishment for the concept users' power. Arran watch
Since he started using Veil in the reality dungeon, this was the first time Arran was seeing her blade being blocked. The surprise caught him off guard and he couldn’t follow through with his attack immediately.By the time Arran came to his senses, the concept user had increased the distance between them. At the same time, faint cracking sounds came from the red bone wall.Alarm bells ring inside Arran’s head. Quickly, Arran shifted his foot and backward. But he was still a little late. No sooner had Arran retreated than the red bone wall immediately exploded.Boom!Arran’s body was rocked by the force of the explosion as he was sent flying back faster than when he retreated. At the same time, the force of the explosion was accompanied by bone fragments that blew at Arran like shrapnel.Not minding what was behind him, Arran swung Avril in a wide arc. Using [Dark Curtain], a black beam flew at the bone fragments, causing them to explode upon contact.The sever property of [Dark Curta
Arran had been right about one thing. The concept user could not use the red bones easily. Not once during the chase had he used the red bones to deal with Arran, even though there had been many chances to do so. He also hadn’t used any other types of bones other than the pale bones. This proved the guess Arran had before.But as things stood, the concept user wouldn’t need to do anything and Arran wouldn’t be able to harm him at all. So now Arran decided to do something else for a change.Previously, Arran hadn’t wanted to use any other powers in this fight. He had wanted to see how well he would fare against another concept user with his base strength that wasn’t boosted by other powers.From the looks of things, Arran was still a bit weaker than ordinary concept users.Arran called the goblin looking concept user ordinary because his concept didn’t feel very powerful to Arran. It was just controlling bones that had lost all trace of life force and using it to sneak attack others un
