Inside Nerd's broad office, a muscular man with a dark shade could be seen sitting in opposition to Nerd. Snake Tattoos were drawn on his neck."I've given you a part of the deal, you will pay me $900 thousand million dollars, then I'll consider it", said the muscular man.Nerd adjusted his lens and moved his neck at a 90-degree angle to look at the black suit bodyguard behind him. He could tell the bodyguard was also shocked."It doesn't work like that, freelancers are hard to come around these days... I need your full cooperation if we're to win this war", Nerd voiced calmly with his stern look.The muscular man pfft", and stood up from the black couch, he dropped the cup he held on the table, walked towards the door, and commented. "Thanks for the tea."Nerd sighed as Flash walked out. There were only eight freelancers on the southern side of the demon castle, and Flash was one of them. Nerd and Aisha were also one of them."Flash, all he thinks about nowadays is money, Alfred."T
Underneath the flame-colored clouds, Cyrus and Barnas' daughter could be seen walking side by side in this hellish domain. Buildings were on fire and the surrounding area was some sort of ruined."Are you an S-rank skill user?", asked the elf demon.Cyrus gave her a two-second stare and nodded his head, implying he wasn't. "E-rank""E-rank...!!!", yelled the girl.Cy was shocked seeing and hearing how loud she shouted when she heard his rank. It was as if she was trembling all of a sudden."Why didn't smarty-pants call an S-rank skill user instead...!!", she yelled again?Cy blamed himself for stopping in the first place. Hence, she turned and continued walking the treacherous path. All of a sudden, she was scared."I thought you were one of the summon who defeated my brother.""Uh? You mean, Baras?"She wore a sad face looking at the floor and muttering. "Yea, him," she said weakly, it was easy to decipher that she was sad.But doesn't that mean this whole thing could be a trap, know
"Hm... No one seems to be home."Cyrus was now walking alone inside the castle, his destination, the ballroom up ahead with a huge tall gate, while Barnas' daughter had gone to find whatever it was she was looking for.One more step, Cy docked in front of the gate, and he sighed, looking at his dagger. Then, with a serious and killer expression, he pushed the door open.As usual, it was dark, and it was at the time the door shut closed, bam, red flames etched on the wall lit up the ballroom... That's when Cy's eyes widened.The broad room was encompassed with tall demon Orcs all adorned in black tattered clothing and exposing their upper red frame with black lines on it.The way they looked at him, it was as if they'd been waiting for him to pass through the door.However, none of that mattered. The moment he saw the demon sitting behind them, the throne was similar to Baras', and the demon was putting on the skeleton face of a goat as a mask."Barnas, so that's him," muttered Cy unde
Cy fell on his knees, holding his chest. Perplexed, he wondered what that thing was—holding a book and casting spells. But the next thing Cy heard gave him a heart skip."Law of permanent death."Once again, an enormous wave blasted Cyrus against the wall, causing another round of metallic blood to splatter on his face and from his mouth.-[Debuff skill: Blocking The law of permanent Death}-[Law Blocked: 5 mins}- [The player will die in the next five minutes if the orc mage is not dead}-[Instant Quest: Kill the orc mage or you die permanently}The mage gave Cyrus a stern look. Perplexed, he pondered how Cyrus was still alive and standing like a zombie."I think I get it now," muttered Cyrus, his eye possessing a crimson hue."The reason for the instant quest is to eliminate any potential threat, simply put," Cy's right eye glowed as he voiced. "It wants me to be the only strongest being and eliminate anything that stands in the way as a threat."The orc mage's demeanor remained unf
Inside a little swimming pool surrounded with rocks and a fence... Precisely inside Alpha's compound. Cyrus and Alpha could be spotted in the swimming pool.Cyrus was just relaxing in the hot steam water and Alpha was in a towel and a green lemon in her eyes."I heard you've been entering dungeons all by yourself, is that true?" asked Alpha with a low tone."Yep... Just soloing ten dungeons, that's all. How did you come to find out?"Alpha sighed, rolled off her towel, and was now naked, except her lower region was inside the water, which meant Cyrus could only see those delightful breasts."Doesn't matter how I knew, so tell me. Have you been getting stronger lately?" Alpha balanced the green lemon properly as she awaited Cy's response.For a moment, Cy would have boldly said yes he was stronger. But when he came to think of it, it wasn't true. "No, I've just been fighting the weak ones."Cy replied as he stared back in the direction Alpha was, but the girl was no longer there. She w
In the borders of a dark alleyway, a red gate had spawned and yellow tapes were placed to separate the demon civilians. Overall, for some reason, the media were gathered here.Not quite long after, a black limo drove in, the number plate reading "Jack The Reaper.""He's here," yelled a cameraman, arresting everyone's attention and filling the clear sky with the light and shuttering sound of cameras.As usual, Jack came out looking all famous and posing for pictures. Meanwhile, Cyrus was still in the car. "Um, sir! Do you want me to drop you off at some place other than this?" asked the limo driver.Cyrus avoided the man's question, picked up the bag beside him, and unlocked the door before stepping a foot out."Uh, Jack only brought one rank user this time... This means he's gonna show us how strong he is by clearing a red dungeon by himself and an... What rank is that other guy?"Cyrus came off the car completely and with a gesture of his finger going up, all the cameras levitated fr
Jack stumbled backward witnessing the beast let out a chaotic roar, and what worsened his case was when the beast stared at him with no eyes, just outer fangs.Thud.The three-headed black eater took a paw step, causing Jack to fall on his butt. Sweat was visible on his face and his eyes flickered with fear like a candle's light."I'm going to die," he muttered with fear kissing his voice.With every step, the humongous monster took, Jack's heartbeat skipped, and he glanced at the destroyed building Cy was knocked against. Oh yes, Cyrus was still lying lifeless on the broken buildings.As of now, Jack was covered by the shadow of the beast's paw. Just as it was about to smash Jack to mushrooms.Jack blocked his face with his hands due to instincts. The demon's paw landed inches beside him, and that's when it dawned on him.Cyrus had pushed the claws of the monster with his dagger. And when that dagger materialized within his hands, his crimson eyes staring at the beast, he muttered."
Inside Aisha's neat and arranged room, the TV could be heard informing those watching about the S-rank and the E-rank who entered a red gate and came out with the S-rank unscathed and the E-rank bloodied."Once again, Jack the reaper of the East has proven to us he's the strongest S-rank by clearing a red dungeon all by himself and with an E-rank skill user who goes by the name Cyrus," the reporter stated.Aisha, the girl sitting on top of her bed, scanned her eyes through the TV. Overall, Jack wasn't acting all famous like he used to. More like he was feeling guilty.'Is he alright?' thought Aisha, getting a glance at Cyrus before our protagonist turned the camera from his view.Aisha stared at her phone beside her, wanting to call Cyrus but then recalled she didn't have his number. All she could do now was hold her phone tight, feeling worried.'Maybe I should call Nerd.'She stood up from her bed and strolled towards her visible glass wall, staring at the dawn of the city.
