{3rd POV, random}
On an Island full of huge boulders and deep canyons, a struggle between two parties was reaching its conclusion.
An azure haired woman with emerald eyes and a buxom figure was being one-sidedly assaulted by a group of men clad in some sort of battalion uniform carrying lethal weapons.
They all have a pretty decent complexion, with most people being blond. However, the most evident feature signifying their heritage is the sharp long ears, confirming them to be elves.
On the other hand, the azure haired woman similarly has long eras but is nowhere near as pointy as the group of uniform wearing men.
The woman's condition can be described in a single word; pitiful. Cuts and brushes all over the body, torn clothes and blood pouring out from the corner of her lips.
The opposing group of men appear to be full of vigour and power; Neat clothes, no trace of blood or injuries.
At a glance, anyone can draw the inevitable result of the crisis, the woman odds of winning near none.
The leader of this group, a handsome man with long blond hair step forward in the woman's direction and smirked.
The woman's petrified at her spot. Eyes the man with clear dread.
"Why don't we stop this chase? And you obediently let us take you back? It will be less painful for you."
The man spoke arrogantly as if following his orders are the most natural thing.
"Never! I'll never marry that piece of trash. If you insist then I'd rather commit suicide."
The woman screamed with indignation, her hatred clouded eyes showing the resolve to follow through with her claims to surrender her life; the moment the blond man tried to use violence.
"Humph, how dare you bitch! How can you refer to his highness as trash? I initially felt some compassion for you, so I offered you to surrender and end this peaceful."
The man's face turned severe; making the woman shiver from terror.
"I'll make you beg me to take you back to his highness, I break you thoroughly before presenting you to her highness."
The man said with lust evident from his tone and facial expression, staring at the woman's curvy body. The woman became even more afraid and bit her lips in frustration.
"After all, I only have to keep you pure there are other ways to enjoy~ hahaha..."
Hearing the blond's words and perverted laughter; a tear run down her eyes which exhibited an unusual glint of determination before they turned lifeless. She clenched her hands and with clear despair; gazed at her back.
A canyon so deep the end is not visible after a certain distance everything is covered in a veil of darkness, the canyon is known as the bottomless abyss. The woman's position is roughly a hundred steps away; she planned to jump down into the abyss and leave her miserable life behind.
Alas, the strings of fate have schemed otherwise.
"Don't you think it's a little pathetic for several men to gang up on a lone woman and even act with such arrogance?"
Everybody heard an unfamiliar yet unknown voice full of contempt.
PUFF...!
Followed by the sound of a small burst, everyone overheard. Before the leader of the group of men, the blond man's head got blasted in a mess of blood and goo. This left the group bewildered which soon turned to dread.
However, the azure haired woman's hollow eyes reignited with a newfound glimmer of hope...

{1st POV, Ethan}
Alizée...
After listening to the name described by the system I remembered the unconscious azure haired girl; located where the protagonist will obtain the means to begin his journey.
She is one of the very early targets, her difficulty level was only D-tier. She was an easy one, her timid personality and trust issues are great plus points. This keeps the majority of people not trying to get close. You only have to spend some time with her, earn her faith and give her some sense of protection as well. And...
'Wala...! You get yourself a lover~'
Well, it's only possible because she is a noob target. Later on in the game, the difficulty reaches a very hard level the more characters you try to conquer.
(System, can you judge the strength of this group?)
[Yes, the group is made of three beginners, two adapts; leading them is a master. But from his energy signature, it would seem he levelled up recently.]
Hmmm.....
The master will be not possible to win against in direct combat. Even without using magic, I can kill adapts easily. I'm a chaos dragon after all, with my immunity to all magic and superior physical strength being more than enough.
However, the master is not possible. Higher mana capacity and body can only take you so much. To achieve the master stage, you have to master a certain force. Be it the force of fire, the force of ice or some weapon force like sword force; some even master multiple forces although they are a small number of geniuses mastering more than one type of force they typically have more than one elemental affinities. Only gathering more magic or training will not cut it. Masters can turn their mana into force to attack, it is a higher form of energy the difference in average is one drop of force= ten drops of mana.
Practically, I'm not his match in a fair fight. Even if he is new at the master stage.
'Who said I'll have to fight him fairly~'
I just have to kill the mobs and save the beauty, I'm not here to duel with him or something like an honourable knight.
It only took me a few seconds to think all this and discuss it with the system while flying in Alizée's direction.
I stopped above them about 500 meters away. They didn't sense my arrival as I hid my presence using super control. I can freely control the mana inside my body and suppress it within me, utilizing super control everything inside my body is under my rule; including mana.
'Time to use the products of the system ~'
(Give me 15 body strengthening pills.)
[Understood.]
'Now, let there be Carnage!~'
With this thought, I ate the pills. The next moment my body was on fire burning from the inside, it was like ants biting me all over. Using my multi thought process and super control I guided the energy and turned off my senses of pain while flying at a high speed toward the blonde man.
I flew very fast a moment later, I was in front of the man and without saying a word I directly punched him on the head blasting his head off in a single punch.
PUFF...!
[Level up 2x
Killed a master stage 10000 KP, 15000 XP
First, kill bonus: 5000 KP]
The system announced. Killing is truly the best way to level up quickly.
"Don't you think it's a little pathetic for several men to gang up on a lone woman and even act with such arrogance?"
I said after the man's body fall on the ground like a doll. He was careless and didn't even have some layer of mana protecting his body.
My words made the stunned group of men frown in displeasure which soon turns to dread when they realised the man I had just one shot is their leader meaning they are not my match.
"Who are you? How dare you kill a lieutenant of our forest elves tribe?"
One of the men tried to use their background to scare me off.
"Yess..yes! Our tribe head is an imperial, the man you killed is his Highness's subordinate."
"We..we! Can let you go if leave now."
As if by a cue every mob began to ramble about to make me hesitate in taking their lives.
'No..can't do, you are my source of KP and XP~'
I thought and shook my head.
"You want to know why I killed him don't you?"
I asked them, they stopped trying to scare me off and nodded in agreement.
I smiled slyly and uttered with mockery.
"Just be because I can~
Same as you, I don't need a reason to kill an ant."
A moment after I finished, their faces twisted in anger hearing my upfront statement of disdain.
"You! How dare you, bastard..!"
"Son of a bitch are you saying we are ants?"
Another round of angry remarks was thrown by them. I decided to ignore all of it.
"Okay, we wasted a lot of time. Now you all can die."
Leaving those words, I jumped at the group. One of the beginners was caught by surprise, while the others retreated.
"No..no! Don't kill me..."
He spoke desperately. Trying to receive my compassion alas, it was fruitless.
"No hard feelings, don't take it to heart. Try to avoid the hero saving the beauty scenario in the next life if possible."
I grabbed him by the throat and broke his neck like sticks, taking his life in a single move.
[Killed a beginner stage, 1000 KP]
"Everyone, attack together let's kill this bastard."
"Yeah, we will fight to the death."
Witnessing their allies death the remaining one's decided to fight me all together.
"Bring it on! Don't disappoint me."
I encouraged them this will my first battle, I wanted to enjoy it. They can't kill me even if I let them, Tiamat will teleport the moment my life is in danger.
The battle began with me enjoying the thrill and the elves giving their everything to kill me and stay alive.
Running up to another beginner who tried to hit me with wind magic I kicked him but he didn't die as mana was covering his body protecting him. But he spits blood.
Another one hit me with a fireball, they are keeping their distance, as I can only fight them in close combat.
I chose to give up dodging and use my immunity to tank the blows and go close to them. I manage to kill the two remaining beginners this way.
"Ahh..., No-no...please don't kill me!"
[Killed beginner stage 2x, 2000 KP
Level up.]
Some cuts could be seen over my body, as the two adapts are using spears. My immunity can deflect the magical damage but the sharp tip of the spear still pierce me.
Soon, the number of opponents left are the two adapts. They are using weapons and that is creating a problem as I can't close in on them. My lack of experience is also a factor, till now I was able to kill them with just brute force. Using super control I can increase the damage my attacks achieve but it's no use if I can't hit the enemy. We come to a standstill.
Glancing at them I saw they were close to exhaustion. Not wasting unnecessary time to let them catch their breath, I again tried to close on one of them, the man wielded his spear and thrusts forward aiming at my heart.
However, I quickly changed direction and arrived behind the other man, utilizing super control to forcefully boost my speed and brutally kicked at his head separating his head and body.
My physique is continuously improving by the pills and my attack power and speed is too improving simultaneously. The other man left all alone man couldn't last for long and died with a huge hole in his chest.
[Killed adapt 1x, 10000KP
Level up
Congratulations master, on reaching level 11, now you can access the shop function.]
I released a tiered breath, fighting with only my body against magic users is disadvantageous for my part.
'Whatever, I killed them all...'
What surprised me was my indifference towards the life of others. This is the first time I killed in my two lives, I also took multiple lives but I don't feel any remorse, moreover, all I feel is they were not worthy to die by my hands. My self-esteem rose sky high as if everybody is beneath me, bowing to me is the most natural course of action. They should greatful than I granted them death.
[Warning...
master has awakened his major sin and is about to undergo the second trial.]
'Fuck...not now...'
{1st POV, Ethan} 'Fuck...not now..' I cursed in my mind, the damn trial couldn't come at a more worst time. As I was preparing to endure hellish pain, blood suddenly escaped my mouth moreover it was black. "Cough... cough.." (System why am I spitting black blood?) Glancing at the puddle of black blood, I asked the system. [Nothing to worry master, it is just the impurities accumulated inside you. The pills purified your body and made it more solid while maintaining flexibility.] So they are the impure substance accumulated inside me. "No-no..! No again...!" "Please...don't go..! Ahh, my head hurts...ahh..! RRRROOOOAAAARRR!!!" Turning my head to the back, my eyes landed upon an Alizée clutching her he
{1st POV, Ethan}When I entered the room all my aunts were already there. Staring at Alizée with curious expressions, it was not every day they encounters an oriental dragon. After they noticed my presence they turned to look at me. I followed their gaze and found them glancing at my horns.'So they are checking my horns..'I thought in my mind."So, how do I look?"I asked about their opinions."Hehe, you look more handsome now. Before you were more like pretty boy~"Nuri was the first one to speak her mind with a smirk."Giggle~ you are right Nuri, now he looks more manly and strong. Before he looked so innocent I wanted to eat him whole~"Following right, after she was Ehecatl who again teased me while giggling."Okay okay! Don't trouble him anymore. He m
{1st POV, Ethan}It didn't take long for the orb to glow again with a mixture of green and blue indicating Alizée indeed inherited her father's storm element, blue is the colour of lightning and green is the colour of the wind elements."It seems you indeed, have the storm element!"Tiamat exclaimed, with a satisfied smile.Alizée was also happy, what she heard from Tiamat made her think the storm element is very powerful and it is true for the most part."Now it is your turn, Ethan."Tiamat shifts her gaze in my direction and spoke. I simply gave her a nod and walked up to the orb placing my hand over it I released a small amount of mana. The orb took more time to process as it has to work more to analyse a total of three different types of extremely rare elements.A full minute passed where I was entertained by an un
{1st POV, Ethan}Entering the living room where everyone is staying. I discover all my aunts are again encircling Alizée as she is telling them about her past and how she got herself caught up in that situation. My aunts are listing carefully too."Humph! Bastard. He deserves to be skinned alive."Nuri curses after she heard all the bad things that happened to Alizée."That noble is also a son of a bitch. Selling her out just to curry favour with some garbage prince."Leviathan did the same.The others nodded in approval. As Apep began to speak."This is the reason I don't like men at all. They are all just perverts and every one of them is the same trash."Again all of them acknowledged."But Ethan is different, he is the only one who never behaved pervertedly. Even when
Fuck...! Only 3 levels..?{System, how many points does it take to level up?}[Master, the points needed to level up increases every next level, the constant used to multiply is four. You need a total of 50 points to upgrade space magic to 2-order.]Shit...at this speed, it will take me a hell of a long time. I still have to obtain 32 more skill points to upgrade my space magic to the next order.'I'll have to level up 16 more times to earn that many points.'[Master, you don't have to worry. Skill points are not the only way to level up. You can level up your skills by using them extensively and gaining experience too.](Huff! Then it is fine, I guess..)I suspect the person who reincarnated me in this world didn't want me to slack off even for a moment. Not like I have the right to complain after getting a second chance.With skills out of the way, now I should take a look at the shop as well. I should probably buy a techniqu
{1st POV, Ethan}"So tell me what do you understand about chaos and space magic?"Tiamat asked me.Now, this is an excellent question. I certainly know the general concept of space. Space is an ethereal concept, to be exact space is the boundless three-dimensional extent to which objects and events have relative position and direction. Space is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. You can say space is omnipresent. No matter where you go or what you do space will always be present, even the power of destruction which is supposed to erase all things; can't destroy space. Well, destruction can degenerate the existing space but it will still be contained in a space.[A/N:Here's the paradox suppose you manage to tear the space around you, then the place you are now positioned is another three-dimensional space. Again tear it apart you will land on another set of three-dimensional space. As long as you physically exist in a three or more dimensional plane; sp
{Two weeks later.}"You have indeed improved a lot compared to the first time. Now you try to dodge or defend, your body also started to move subconsciously."I'm again lying on the ground breathing hard. Two weeks have passed, form when I began my training under Tiamat.She is a brutal teacher, nothing like my gentle grandma. She has beaten me to death every day in these two weeks.I too didn't just take all the beatings for nothing. My fighting style has improved a lot. Now I can last a lot longer and even see her movements. My stats have all gone up as well, especially my endurance and speed, coupled with my thought acceleration.Thought acceleration is now level-4, while my speed is 420 and endurance is 450. As my vitality is interconnected with endurance it has also gone up reaching 840, because of this now I can tank more attacks without losing. My strength has not gone up by much as fighting Tiamat has nothing to do with raw power, she is mostly

No matter how many times I use this move, I couldn't get enough!"Currently, I'm fighting or more precisely cutting a pack of wind wolves inside a forest. This forest is located in one of the mountain ranges of Tiamat's Island. The wind wolves have grey fur covering their body, green eyes. They are about three meters in size. They can use wind blades, they are also very agile become of wind magic. They are primarily D-rank but can achieve C-rankA whole year has gone by, I'm a lot more powerful than I was last year.
