2020-08-21 11:31:48With no time to waste, Leiu dashed between the trees and bushes while breathing heavily, he knew that his stamina was depleted quickly in that hard fight, unlike with the big rabbit, which he kited and attacked without being hit, against the wolf, he barely won, he received a bloody wound too, it's fortunate he got a Health Potion, or else the blood would attract more beasts.
While running and keeping an eye on his behind, Leiu never stopped, but even after 5 minutes, he could still hear the howls of 3 wolves, chasing after him, what was worse is that the distance is shortening by the second, they were very persistent and didn't give up even after chasing him for a couple of minutes.
Moreover, Leiu's clothes were filled with blood from the injury, and that precisely attracted the wolves and made them chase him even more, the smell made them even hungrier, he also killed their comrade, so there is no way they would stop chasing him.
Two more minutes passed, Leiu finally stopped running, the distance between them shortened by a huge margin, they were 100 or so meters away, their running could be heard from his location, and so the only way to save himself is to fight them, but he wasn't going to fight them head-on, that was impossible and dumb, he had to use his environment and act cleverly.
...
The 3 dark wolves chased after the enemy for some time now, the blood smell coming out of him allowed them to be able to chase him easily, but suddenly, he seemed to stop running, the wolves may be clever creatures, but by no means did they have an intelligence equal to humans, him stopping didn't make them feel suspicious or anything of the sort.
One wolf who was the closest finally arrived near the smell, it first stopped a couple of meters away from it, then sneakily advanced and jumped from a nearby bush toward the smell, since it was a thick forest and with many bushes and high trees, it couldn't see the enemy with its eyes, but it had confidence in its sense of smell.
However, what faced it was only ragged and bloodied cloth, it was on the ground and reeked of blood, the wolf dumbly stared at it, but suddenly, it felt an intense pain in its back, it stumbled for a bit, but the pain became more and more intense, it felt a presence on its back so it tried to shake it off, but to no avail, the more it moved, the more the pain intensified.
..
Leiu used his cloth as a mean to lure the wolf, then he climbed a high tree and waited for the wolf, even without the cloth, they could track him, but his cloth was full of blood so their attention would probably be focused on the cloth because of the strong smell.
The good thing is that his guess was correct, a wolf tried to sneak on him and jumped on the cloth, so Leiu took the moment of confusion to jump from the tree at the Wolf, with the force of gravity and all his strength, the sword went deep into the wolf's back, which is a good thing, more than half its health bar disappeared.
Leiu grinned and took out the Steel Sword from the deep wound, but that wasn't the end, he stabbed again on the same place, making blood gush out endlessly, it poured on his hands, feet, and face making him look horrible, with his grin, he looked like a demon, however, he didn't care, his whole focus was on the wolf.
It tried shaking him off from its back but it was useless as it soon laid on the ground, motionless and soundless, all it took him is 3 more stabs, his health decreased by 3 probably because of the wolf's slamming and moving around when he was on its back, but it was worth it as he got rid of another one yet again.
Level up! All stats (+1)
As he saw this, he was a bit delighted, he didn't focus on the early messages, but now he knew that he was at least Level 10, so he felt proud and delighted, but the fight was not over yet, there was still 2 remaining wolves, but courage and confidence filled him when he killed this wolf, if he could kill this one, then what's stopping him from killing the other 2? None!
With that thought in mind, he looted the wolf and disappeared from that place yet again, fortunately, the wolves were not close to each other, or else he would have died when he attacked the first one.
...
You obtained Wolf Fangs
+47 coppers
Beginner Gloves : +1 Vitality
After a lot of struggle and schemes, Leiu managed to get rid of the two remaining wolves the same way he did with the first one, it was hard but worth it.
His appearance was pathetic and scary right now, blood-covered him from head to toe, his Steel Sword was also bloodied and only had 2 durabilities left, it clashed with the wolf's hard skin many times so that's to be expected, it's just fortunate that it didn't break in mid-fight or else, he would surely have perished.
Leiu was extremely tired, a lot of his stamina was used climbing, attacking sneakily, jumping, dashing, but for some reason, he felt happy, proud and more delighted than ever, for him, this accomplishment was something none could do, yet he did it alone.
He rested 30 minutes, and in those 30 minutes, he checked the message log to see his previous messages that he ignored and see his items, money and of course stats.
You killed a monster with a 2 digit Lv while only having a level with 1 digit. Congratulations! you earned a new title! Invincible: +2 strength and +2 intelligence when fighting a monster that has a level higher than yours.
+48 coppers
You obtained Wolf Claws
....
Apart from the title, nothing else was interesting, Leiu was joyous when he saw that title's effect, he usually fought monsters higher Level than him, so that was a permanent increase for him, without hesitation, he equipped it.
Invincible title equipped!
Then he equipped that glove, although it only added vitality, it was better than nothing, after doing that, he opened his status window to check the changes.

As he gazed at his stats, he couldn't help but feel elated, in just 5 hours or so, he managed to become Level 10, maybe others reached that too, and maybe a lot of them too.
At first, Leiu wanted to be amongst the top Level players, but now, he didn't want that, he wanted to learn how to fight well, that's why he spent so many hours fighting Bees and Rabbits, and it would be a big fat lie to say all that didn't help him.
Quite the opposite, in fact, it helped him greatly, so much that his senses and reflexes became extraordinary, but the thing he didn't know is that he was an absolute genius in fighting, much like an 'inborn fighter', it's like this game was made for him. Leiu thought that everyone would be able to adapt like him but that's not true.
Well, to be completely honest, the game's system did facilitate the fighting but it also gave a lot of freedom for the player to attack and dodge however he or she wants.

After one final look at his stats, Leiu got up and started roaming the forest to locate the beginner's village, and that took him 1 hour, he spent a whole hour to get out of the thick forest tree, find other players and finally find the beginner's village.The first thing he did was obviously finish the quests, well technically, he already finished them, he just had to go to the person who gave him the quest and get the experience and the reward.The first quest he returned was the one that needed him to gather snowberries.
Re; Hell Gate Chapter 8 : Class Quest
Leiu was surprised as most of the classes were special, he really didn't expect this, he didn't do anything that special so he was startled to see so many good choices.It's a pity he didn't know that what he did what practically impossible, who is crazy enough to hunt Bees and Rabbit for several hours? For most people, it's a waste of time.The choice was hard, it's like putting several types of delicious cakes in front of you and telling you to only chose and eat one, it was that kind of situation.
Re; Hell Gate Chapter 9 : First Trial
It's been 30 minutes already, Leiu became annoyed rather than confused, it's like a prank more than a trial, he began regretting choosing this class, first, he thought that this may be a bug, but there's no way there is a bug when it's just launched, right? After all, there was a beta test a few months ago, a game like this should have been tested by the developers countless time to find any bugs.That assumption was quickly deleted from his mind, but if it's not a bug, then what the bloody hell is happening.

Leiu Stamina was almost depleted, 2 points left, his arms and legs trembling, barely able to stand, however, he persevered and his strong will and decent stats allowed him to hold on for thirty minutes, continuously slaying anything that bore its fangs at him.Leiu truly reached his very limits, no matter how strong he is, he couldn't fight anymore, it took him 4 to 5 strikes to deal with beasts now, and even more, his two remaining potions are gone and his health decreased to 6, wounds and injuries covered his body and even the gloves were destroyed now.

35 minutes or so passed, Leiu's Health and Stamina fully recovered, he equipped the old beginner's armor, which was totally useless, at least it wasn't totally destroyed like the newly bought one, as he saw the state of that armor, Leiu could only feel sadness and grief, he lost a whopping 3 silver for it, yet it didn't even last an hour!After taking a breath of fresh yet cold air, Leiu got up and headed upstairs, there is really no use staying here, he tried roaming the manor and inspecting the other rooms, but he couldn't step in them,

As he faced the 4 wooden puppets, Leiu couldn't help but wipe the invisible cold sweat on his forehead, just thinking about that made him feel restless and uneasy.I mean, what are the chances that he could finish hundreds of those puppets, they would jump at him from all directions, unlike the dark beasts which had a large frame, these puppets could easily overwhelm him if they had enough numbers.While gritting his teeth, Leiu stood there, waiting for them to attack, although they gave him 30 seconds between each fight, it was n

13 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.
Re; Hell Gate Chapter 14 : End Of The Second Trial
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,

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

“It’s over…”The Elven Chevalier had a look of relief and fatigue on her face. She kept holding on her blade as she stared at Tenebris.Unlike her, he looked absolutely miserable. 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. The light emitting from her body grew dim and then disappeared.As her body wobbled and then fell to the side, the elf- with all the strength she could mus
Chapter 556 Concept of Destruction
[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. Leiu tried to use the Darkness to protect himself but, surprisingly, it wouldn’t come out. It seemed unresponsive and ineffective as if something was sealing it away.Sumbus fared even worse as h

“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.

Admittedly, she and Leiu weren’t the best friends, but they did help each other in the ‘past’.“We could’ve killed Him.”

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. At least not to him. He should have trusted his gut and refused, but feeble hope and lust persuaded hi
Chapter 553 The Mermaid Queen
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
