'Where am I?....''....What's going on?'In the back corner of the yellow bus, in between the seats, a dark-haired boy was crouching, making himself as small as possible trying his best to hide from someone or something.There were visible bruises and scars spotted all over his body. A gut-wrenching sobs tore through his lungs as his body started shaking in fear."Uwahh."*Clack!!**Clack!!*"Hieek"Even the smallest sound he heard was enough to make him tremble in fear. His heart was beating loudly through his chest and he might encounter hyperventilating at this rate.*Tap! Tap!*'Someone's closing in, Is it a person or those nasty creatures' He thought to himself while tears started falling down his eyes.Every second was like hours to him. He could even hear the sounds of his heavy breathing. Sometimes he could hear the cries of people coming from outside. Wailing in pain, cursing, and dying at the hand of those creatures. He was afraid. He was afraid of dying like this. His lif
"I am Alice Kayden. Shin and I promised to be together for the rest of our lives. I hope to get your blessings."Alice's face turned red as she smiled shyly.""What?"" Both Reina and Alfred exclaimed in shock.'What did we just hear?''Is she Shin's girlfriend?'Alfred and Reina looked at each other before turning to the girl in front of her."Are you Shin's girlfriend?" Alfred asked.Hearing the word girlfriend Alice blushed and her cheeks turned red. It was obvious how embarrassed she was. But she didn't agree nor denied.But her reaction gave the confirmation they wanted.Both of them were shocked more than surprised.They never expected their son to have a girlfriend and bring her home. He was so socially inactive that he rarely mentioned having any friends.Now he brings a girl home. Who would expect that of him?Reina was so happy that she just stood up and sat beside Alice as she gave her a ti

Shin gritted his teeth and muttered."Extreme speed."His figure blurred for a moment as his speed increased. He easily dodged the incoming objects flying at him.Shin's face was pale. He was bearing the pain of his muscles being torn apart. Even with his pain tolerance skill, the pain was too much. He endured it and continued his fast movements.He didn't want to stop just because of some pain. If he stops now they will surely die. This was the only chance he could get.Shin's eyes were teary from the pain he was enduring. He bit his lips to not give in to the pain.'How much did my agility increase?'***__________________________________Shin's status:-[ Name- Shin Wolner ][Age - 20][ Title - 1st awakened, Maniac ][ Level - 6 ][-Stats-][STR - 72][AGI - 135(90+45)][DEX - 20 ][Stamina - 55][ Bonus stats - 0 ][Special ability - Plunde
The large humanoid monster stood crudely, its back bent over from the size of its head. It held a large Iron club in its hand. Its white hollow eyes and features can pretty well describe why it's an Undead.The blood lust emitting from it was nothing to scoff at. The ground below it trembles from the way it walks. That bulky build and a height of more than 2.5 meters. That monster looks terrifying."Undead Tormentor. It's finally here." Shin muttered with a serious look. He was afraid but there was slight excitement he was feeling.'What's this feeling? I've never felt like this before. I'm no match for that terrifying monster. But I can't help but smile in excitement. Shouldn't I be afraid and think of a way to survive? Just what is happening to me?'Shin felt a weird change in his emotions. Because of the continuous events, he didn't think of it much. But now that he thinks about it why is he feeling like that. Wasn't he a coward and a pathetic guy?Who just wanted to end everything
Shin was busy checking those monsters' names then suddenly he narrowed his eyes as he read something. He felt a chill run down his spine.There was a name far behind those monsters it was written in dark red.It was screaming danger.[ Undead Tormentor (Elite)][ Boss monster ]"What the hell is that?" All that confidence Shin built up started crumbling down. He had underestimated that monster too much. He needs to take it more seriously.Shin turned to look at Alice who wasn't aware of their approaching doom. She was busy checking her gains.She was so quiet for some reason.'She must be thinking something important.''I should tell her about that monster. It doesn't look like she is aware of its presence.'"Alice," Shin spoke to get her attention."Yes? What is it?"Alice turned to look at him while her eyes were darting away. She was having difficulty making eye contact with him. After learning how her mother knew about her being interested in Shin. She felt embarrassed.But Shin's
"We are doomed."Hearing Shin's words Alice could only smile wryly. But both of them soon calmed down. They had already been in many unfavorable situations in the last few hours.This time it was just a little more difficult than usual. They can't give up. Alice's eyes darted everywhere to look for the boss monster. But it was nowhere there to be seen. She sighed in relief.Alice spoke without breaking eye contact with those monsters while maintaining her guard up."This is the boss monster's area I told you about. But it doesn't seem to be here. We better fight them and lessen their number before it arrives."Hearing Alice's words Shin was shocked. The hell, just what kind of luck do they need to enter just in the middle of the boss monster's lair and get surrounded by more than 50 monsters.Were they cursed by lady luck? Whatever. He decided to dismiss his thoughts and focus on those monsters.If what Alice said is true they don
***//Shin's Memory //"We will save you. Just hang on." A desperate voice echoed inside my ears."Don't give up Shin we are here with you." another voice followed thereafter. I didn't understand at first what was going on. But'Are those mom and dad? What's going on? What happened to me?'I couldn't speak nor could I feel anything. I could only hear their cries and desperate attempts trying to save me."I will find a way to save you so don't give up." Alfred cried in desperation.'What don't tell me Dad you are going to contact the family? Am I in that bad of a state?' I wanted to ask that but unfortunately, no voice came out. I couldn't feel my body nor do I remember what lead me to this state."Most of his organs are ruptured. All his limbs are fractured. His eyes are bleeding. His condition is only getting worse. I don't think he can survive." I heard a voice explaining my condition. I was shocked to hear that. If what that person says is true. How am I still alive? Wait am I al
[You have killed a Vultican.][You have killed an Elite monster.][You have gained a lot of experience.][You have leveled up.][ +10 Bonus stats for leveling up.][Plunder activated][You have absorbed 10 stat points.][You have absorbed a new skill Appraisal.]_____________________Shin was dumbstruck by these notifications. How did that monster die so easily? Wasn't that an elite monster. It should have been much more difficult to deal with.Unknowingly to Shin. That Vulture monster suffered some damage in the head when it crashed to the ground while losing its balance mid-flight.Vulticans are hard to deal with. Cause of their strong body and steel-like wings. Their attacks are sharp as blades. But they have a weak spot in the back of their head. They are hard to deal with cause their opponents are mostly on the ground and reaching the back of their heads is much more difficult.But luckily for Shin. He attacked with his full force directly at the weak spot. So that monster died p
