2024-10-29 19:42:5613 minutes or so later, Leiu stood up and finished the shaking puppet, his Stamina was fully recovered, so is his Health. Fortunately, his idea worked, maybe the system or the trial host let him do so as it was simply not possible to finish it without recovering Stamina, anyway, like this, he had more chance win to pass the trial.
128 wooden puppet appeared, this time, even more types were added, they held wooden bows and had a set of arrows at their back, Leiu's gaze turned serious as he gazed at them, his previous happiness seemed to disappear and his face turned uglier than it already was.
'How is this fair? At least give me a companion or a pet tsk tsk!'
While leaping at the enemies, he tried to limit the contact between his sword and their shields, so as to not drop its durability even more, but even despite that, it already dropped to 3, some cracks appeared on it, Leiu was sure it would not hold on much longer.
While using some of the wooden puppets bodies to cover himself from the rain of arrows, which managed to kill some of the puppets, he dashed at the archer wooden puppets and finished them one by one, he only relaxed a bit when he finished them all. The next problem was the ones holding swords.
His Level already rose, considering every puppet gave 2% then he obviously leveled up, moreover, the archers and sword wielder puppets gave a bit more, not a huge difference but it was welcomed, nonetheless.
20 minutes, that's how much time it took him to finish 127 puppets, unlike the last one, he was panting excessively, only 7 stamina left, this time, there was much more sword wielder puppets, which were troublesome to deal with, even more than the archers.
They were more resistant and had shields that can block, for Leiu, the archers were more like a gift as he defended against their attacks while using their comrades' bodies, they were a bit taller than him and by ducking a bit, he easily avoided the arrows. Plus, it's impossible to be wide open in this place as there were too many puppets swarming around him, so the archers can't accurately aim at him.
If they were composed and used strategies, it would be easy, but like this? It's impossible for the arrows to hit him, it's just a matter of perseverance. If his Stamina does not run out then he can deal with them all.
He left the last puppet and did the same and started resting, but just as he sat, his Steel Sword shattered and metal pieces fell on the floor, he was only holding a hilt right now.
As he was going to curse his luck, a message popped up.
Due to not having a weapon, you will be given a standard weapon of choice.
'Give me a one-handed sword.'
As he said that, the space distorted for a bit before a Steel Sword fell on the floor, unexpectedly, it was exactly the same as his Steel Sword, maybe it gave him this weapon on purpose.
Well, it's not like he cares, the problem of weapon durability has been solved and the stamina problem was also solved, which is good enough for him to pass!
Leiu equipped the sword and rested to regain his Health and Stamina, his health decreased by 10 too, he managed to dodge most of the attacks but there are some that are impossible to dodge unless he can teleport so he had to grit his teeth and take those attacks head-on.
What's good is that he only let the fighter puppet attacks land on him, them and them alone, no attack from the sword wielder puppets or archers did touch him or else the damage would be more fatal.
After half an hour of resting, he fully recovered so he finished the poor wriggling puppet, a 30 seconds 'resting' time was given, something appeared which contradicted Leiu's guess, it wasn't an army of 256 puppets, but something else.
To be honest, him dealing with 128 puppets is basically impossible, to anyone who is a beginner it's impossible, it's just that the puppets can be one-shotted, excluding the sword wielder puppets who only needed 2 slashes, all others needed 1 strike from him.
Maybe they made it easier for him because he is low leveled, but it's a class quest for the love of God, so no matter how difficult it is, it shouldn't be impossible for players.
If anyone heard about the trials, then they wouldn't believe it, but seeing the A difficulty, then it's to be expected. However, unlike normal A difficulty quest, which didn't appear yet as the game was just launched, the normal A difficulty quests CAN be done with a party, unlike this one, which seemed totally unfair.
...
Leiu smiled helplessly as he gazed at what's in front of him, 5 meters in height, rusty metallic armor and a huge black axe in its hands, it was a big wooden puppet, it had a helmet, shoulder and knee guards and last but not least is an armor.
It excluded some pressure as it wielded its huge two-handed axe.
'Of course, it's a boss...'
Wooden puppet Lord Lv20
As he gazed at the enemy, Leiu felt a bit of despair, throwing a boss at him when he was a beginner, what's up with this trial, moreover, this was only the second Trial, what about the last one, it surely won't send him to hell and tell him to defeat the devil, right?
Looking at the good side, Leiu gained a bit of stats, some messages popped up when he was fighting, and when he previously rested, he checked them all along with his status window.
Invisible Strike(Rare) levelled up! Lv1 => Lv2 :

Not a great increase, but it was enough for him, Leiu was not sure if he can defeat the boss or not, but he was sure that he won't give up without putting a good fight. The boss looked threatening but every monster can be defeated if you can grasp its attacking routine....The giant puppet didn't just stay still, although it's slower than the normal puppet due to its size, that didn't mean it is weak, quite the opposite, in fact, each step it took made the ground shake for a moment.Leiu also charged at it,

Leiu kept browsing the website for random information, and apparently, the average level of the players is between 8 and 10.Moreover, the company 'LobiSoft' announced that the total players of their game 'Hell Gate' has exceeded 100 Million, which is truly outrageous, it's the first day yet so many people are playing.Also, he read that not all starting villages are the same, they were scattered on the continent, there were thousands of them, which surprised him a bit, he thought that all players would have the same beginner's vi

Leiu killed wolf after wolf, without stopping, he didn't miss anyone and looted them all, he looted weapons and leather armor, but they were truly useless as the stats bonus or the quality was very poor.2 hours, that's how much time he spent killing wolves and he didn't plan to stop any time soon, it was 16:30 PM right now, so he had about 2 more hours before he has to log off.The experience given when killing a wolf was meager, so he only leveled up once, becoming Lv21, not much but he was satisfied and he was not aiming to lev

It looked like any other wolf, the only difference is its fur, it was white, pure white, just like snow, it even made someone ask themselves 'What is a snow wolf doing here?'It's deeply resembled a snow wolf, although it was a bit bigger, it nevertheless had the appearance of a snow wolf.Its two blood-red eyes were staring at Leiu, unlike the normal dark wolves, which gazing at him with ferocity, rage, and anger, this gaze was calm and haughty.
Re; Hell Gate Chapter 21 : Die!
Leiu was only pissed because he died, losing the Level or the stats was not really a problem as it can be gained back, but he didn't easily accept defeat. Actually, he never accepts defeat, he would challenge whoever or whichever killed him until he wins.Before leaving the beginner's village, Leiu sold all the wolf fangs and furs.Surprisingly, a single wolf fang was 20 copper and he had 64 wolf fang so that's a whopping 12 silvers.After selling everything, the total amount was 1 gold and 41 silvers, it's a lot, adding his previous money, he now had 2 gold coins and 41 silvers.He bought 5 Steel Swords just in case and departed from the village, he disregarded all the monsters that he stumbled upon, his only target right now is the snow wolf.After he kills that wolf, he will come back and get the achievements for the Bees and the Rabbits.Although the wolf could use Ice Magic when its Health drops under 30%, it was not impossible to kill him.It's true it could use magic, but it was

Outside of Black Mountain City“The Red Moon hasn’t changed.”Vins remarked as he looked to the sky. “I thought you’ll come back once it is time.”“I didn’t want to come fetch you at the last second. Plus, it won’t be long before the Hell Gate appears.”Vins didn’t argue back, he solemnly nodded once. Although his relationship with Leiu was bad, there was no need to provoke him at any given opportunity.They were enemies, and the fact that Leiu actually came back to get him meant that, to some extent, his words had convinced him a bit, at least enough to let him come along.“In the meantime, we’re going after Void Rifts.

Chapter 557 Administrator
Leiu spent quite a long time in the Studying Room. Unfortunately, the available information about the Reverie Comos was lacking and unsatisfactory. It just told him what he already knew: The Reverie Cosmos was a separate plane of existence in Mundus, not unlike the Harrowing. It was accessible only to those with ‘high’ spiritual energy, which was simply not enough to go on.Although, even if Leiu knew how to enter it, he wouldn’t go there, at least not now.There were much more pressing matters than delivering Lost Witch to the Reverie Cosmos. The Hell Gate was about to open and he needed to be there when it did. Once he was done with his pondering, Leiu went to talk to Sumbus Darrar.“So?”The old man was in the ‘Living Room’, gobbling down the delicious feast without a care in the world.After wiping his oily lips, the Necromancer awkwardly laughed,“Her name is Emilia. She told me she doesn’t remember what happened… only that you killed her and then she woke up after we killed

Whether it was his dirt-covered pale-face, his sweaty and greasy hair, his trembling and bloodied hands, or his shredded clothes.“Hold on. I’ll heal you.”With slow steps, she approached him, unaware that a tiny pit of flesh crawled on the ground and leapt at her arm.“Watch out!”Tenebris saw it first, but his warning came too late. Kusomi, panicking a bit, tried to the flesh but it dug into her skin and then went inside her body.Her body instantly flashed with a silver light, an attempt to use overwhelming energy to force out the worm-like flesh.“Ah…”Kusomi fell to her knees and let go of her estoc, her body convulsing and her mouth coughing blood.

[User, there is an increasing fluctuation of energy from the g-]Eva’s voice turned into silence, but more surprising was the abrupt change of environment.Sumbus, Leiu, and Voido, were standing in an endlessly dark world, but the ‘Darkness’ was completely different from the norm. It wasn’t Primordial Darkness or simply an overabundance of Darkness energy. This was something else entirely.Before anyone could speak, innumerable lightning bolts pierced through the ‘darkness’, shattering like glass and revealing an empty space not unlike space itself.There were star wars that were far, far away, but most noticeably, the majority of them were caught one supernova after the other.Leiu and Sumbus felt immense dread as an overwhelming pressure assaulted them, locking them into that empty space.

“Huff… huff..”Leiu was gasping for air aboard the ship’s deck. Anne was hugging him, relieved that he made it out alive.Sumbus was also sitting down, his complexion paler than usual. Before returning to the surface, Leiu closed the Void Rift with the Primordial Darkness. He had less than 20% health remaining and his mind was still befuddled.“I’m… okay, Anne.”“Drink this.”She forced him to drink three Health Potions, which did help with the physical wounds.“Leiu.”The Mermaid Queen stood a couple of feet away.

Tenebris sat up and proceeded to wear his bloodied and dirty clothes back.‘I’ll be damned. You actually went through with it. I’m impressed, Tenebris.’While pretending as if he didn’t hear the voice, Tenebris looked to the side. Kusomi also properly sat up and stoically looked at him.“It hurt a bit. Other than that… it wasn’t anything special.”‘Hear that, dumbass? No chance you’re getting laid a second time.’After being pressed by the voice, Tenebris eventually relented and had sex with Kusomi. It wasn’t anything dramatic, and from beginning to end, it barely lasted an hour.Although he got to enjoy the soft body of a beautiful elf, Tenebris wasn’t that happy. He had hoped the two of them would ‘feel’ differently amidst the action and pleasure, but no such thing happened.The virgin elf was inexperienced, so he took the lead, but having sex like that didn’t really mean anything.

With the help of the Dark Archmage’s spell, Leiu and Anne were able to dive underwater and breathe. The Void Incarnate, which wasn’t even a living creature, simply jumped down and transformed into somesort of a hideous hammerhead shark.Leiu really wanted to question it as it never said it could change its appearance, but now wasn’t the time.The four swam deeper and deeper until the Void Rifts were in sight. They let out ominous purple glows, all haphazardly scattered everywhere.Albeit not at full speed, Leiu was able to swiftly reach them and used Primordial Darkness to forcefully close them down. Oddly enough, no Voidspawn came out to attack him. Only Void Riftss were present, which, rather than fortunate, felt like a bad omen.Thus, as they kept descending closer and closer to the seafloor, Leiu got rid of any Void Riftss in the way. It was a tedious but not overly-taxing process.Eventually, however, they reached the two, aforementioned, big Void Riftss. They were massive, but

“When is the Hell Gate going to open?”After talking with Elena and the rest, Leiu left Black Mountain City altogether. He looked at his newest companion, the fearful Sumbus Darrar.Startled, the old Necromancer looked at the red moon hanging in the sky. Night has yet to fall, but the moon stuck out like a store thumb. It was still waxing, albeit at a very slow speed.“Two weeks, at most.”“And where’s the gate?”“I… I can only locate it when it is about to open.”As he saw the suspicious stare of the Dark Knight, Sumbus vigorously nodded his head while waving his hands around. “I swear, Dark Knight! I do not dare lie to you!”Seeing how the old man behaved, it was hard to think of him as the one from the legends. He was like an obedient dog, following Leiu and doing everything asked of him.In fact, he was sensible enough to notice Leiu’s relationship with Anne, so he treated the Vampire with the utmost politeness and respect.[User, a suggestion: Eliminate the Administrator in-]‘I
