I imitate the crows that still watching me from a distance. My head moves from right to left, my eyes scan every corner of this place. It's just me, the crows, and the corpses.Then, the sound of horses galloping in a hurry was heard. The sound was getting closer as if thousands of soldiers are ready to attack me. But I don't see any light. The soldiers can't run to me without the light. Their horses would surely bump into each other and fall like a domino.I close my eyes so my ears can focus more. When my eyes are closed, I see it.There is a system notification in front of me.[Your magic resistance skill has been suspended][Illusion magic failed to resist]The notifications come on time thanks to my better system. I know this is illusion magic. I've experienced this against Viviz, this woman also has the same illusion magic.[Do you want to sharpen your sense?][ ]"Yes!"I open my eyes, but still, no one is there. The sound of the horses' hooves can no longer be heard b
That woman wails with a peeled face. It seems disgusting, but what's behind the peeling skin is even more disgusting. I can see a dark green scaly skin, there are two nostrils with eyes without eyelids.She pulls her remaining skin and exposed her face even more. Gargan steps slowly behind me, she hates scary things like that."That's not a ghost," I say quietly.It has no effect as Gargan stays hidden behind me while Viviz covers her mouth. "I want to vomit," she says with a blue face.My eyes can not leave the woman. When she takes off her remaining skin, almost her entire body is covered in green scales. I'm not even sure if I still call her a woman because she doesn't look like a human anymore.I've never seen a creature like that, maybe it's a lizard or a Komodo dragon without a tail. But she doesn't look like a demon.She has a long and forked tongue, a snake tongue. Her eyes are yellow with small pupils, when my light balls approach her, her pupils got smaller and almost disapp
Wood? I mean it's really wood. A piece of wood inside her body.It still makes sense with the monsters under the fake skin. But wood? I'm so confused right now.Apart from me being confused about whether she is strong or not, now she is confusing me with her identity. If I look again, the system doesn't tell me her type. It is written as unknown.It catches me off guard. When that woman draws her daggers, I parry them with my sword. I'm pushed back a few steps, it is stronger than I expected. She also moves faster now.She fights me blindly, like a drunken woman who wants to kill her cheating husband. Emotions take over her and now she truly deserves to be called a monster."You ruined it! My beautiful skin!" She roars as she continues to slash her dagger haphazardly.I don't think she can win over me, but her attacks are really troublesome.She is quite strong but her attacks are too random and lack of strategy. Believe me, facing enemies like this is much more tiring.I have to conf
[James Harris][Title: Human][Ages: 28][Class: S][Level 3500][Magic stats: 2000][Mana: 32000][Skill: Fireblast][Main quest: Kill the Dungeon Boss]The screen window pops out by itself before I ask it. I guess this is the window-peeking skill I just got. I can read their status when I first meet them. It's not as complete as mine, there are some things they don't have like Power stats.James stands at the very front, he looks relaxed in a white shirt with his sleeves folded, like an office worker who has rushed over.Behind James are six other people. There's nothing special about them, the skills they have are only fireball and their class is B, the lowest is class D. They all, including James, only have one skill.James surprises when he notices that there are a lot of bodies around us. The rain and dark sky make this scene even more terrifying."Are you alright?" Somehow, he looks concerned. I'm not sure if it's pretending.As they arrived, the rain suddenly stopped. They car
I prepare myself to receive an attack from James. My eyes scan the other six people standing around us. Their flashlights are pointed at the ground, preventing me from seeing clearly. I just rely on my ears and a bit of residual light.Gargan and Viviz are already standing beside me. It's not just me who senses this suspicious situation.James approaches slowly, he doesn't take out any sword or weapon. But I'm still wary because he might be able to use his fireblast.He is standing right in front of me, slightly looking up because I am taller. His hand pats my shoulder slowly, I can feel his strong palm. In this position, if he attacks me even just a little bit, I can break his hand easily."We're going to make a tent here."I'm stunned. That's not the sentence I expected.He passes me and his subordinates start to scatter. They clear trees and branches, while the others take tents out of their packs.They really make camp. So he doesn't intend to attack me? Or not yet.Gargan and Viv
Ken is dead on the spot with a dagger that goes through his back. We are all silent, looking at the perpetrator who walks calmly and then pulls his dagger from Ken's body.It is shocking for them, not for me, because I know this guy is not as good as his appearance. Lola and Peter lowers their heads and then slid behind me. Look, who's the coward now?James cleans the remaining blood on his dagger with leaves. He still manages to give us a warm smile before putting the dagger back into his pocket.I can hear Lola's heavy and rapid breathing. Seeing your friend die is never fun.“Oaths must be fulfilled, right? Do you think I have no ears?” James says, still with that smile that makes him scarier.When someone kills with a smile, it means that person is dangerous. He is no different from a psychopath who kills just for fun."I'm sorry, James," Lola says quietly in a trembling voice.After all, Ken died because of her, if she didn't take the initiative to tell me the location of the bos
Gin never paid close attention to the weapons Zack used because he had never seen him fight directly. But just when Gin saw the dagger, he immediately recognized it. After all, the dagger had been beside his neck a few days ago.How could a person who never let go of his weapon suddenly lose it?Gin's eyes did not leave the weapon as he approached the crowd. The people there fell silent when they saw his big figure approaching. A man named Erick confronted him with his chin raised, boasting that he was class A."Who are you?""What is that?" Gin ignored Erick and pointed at the dagger lying on the table.Some people who were there got up and blocked him, stood in front of the table and one of them took the dagger.“None of your business,” he said.Gin took out a gold leaf from his pants and showed it to Erick because he was standing closest to him.Erick's eyes widened when he saw that. He had never seen gold leaf like that and anything made of gold had to be precious. Gin purposely g
It had been five thousand years since the last gate that appeared in Greyos. However, it only took thirty-five years on Earth. Not as long as Gin thought, though all of his acquaintances were probably dead by now. A little relief and hope came through his heart. His brother was probably alive and well today. Gin imagined Gray who now looked older than him. "How do you know my name?" Erick destroyed Gin's imagination. Gin could hear Erick's teeth grinding and his jaw clenching. His eyeballs almost popped out from glaring too wide. Gin sighed lazily. He knew from his peeking skills but there was no interesting information about Erick. "Say! How did you know my name?" Erick shouted very loudly. With a sound like that, James' spies might hear them. “You want to challenge me? Are you looking down on me on purpose?” Erick lost control. He was furious though there was still a look of shock on his face. Eric clenched his fists. His eyes suddenly turned blue. Rumbling sounds surrounded t
