The blade pierced his heart and stopped pumping. Cyrus fell to his knees and died with a red holographic screen visible only to him.
- [Player Has been Killed For The First Time]- [Player Has Died]The guard grinned and removed his blade from Cy's heart. Staring at the girl, he muttered, "You've got magic, don't you? Tell us his heart is still beating."Just as the guard had said, the girl focused her hearing on Cy's heart, and her eyes widened. Cyrus was completely dead; his heart wasn't even flinching."Guess the system was wrong for once. There is no such thing as an instant rebirth," the guard said with a mocking tone as he began approaching the girl who bumped into the wall.However...Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thumpThey all heard it, not just the girl. They all heard the heart beating and pumping blood, and they could feel the red carpet vibrating.But it wasn't a big deal. If the guard could have killed Cyrus before, then he should have been able to do it again. Besides, the system says he dies repeatedly.- [You have gained maximum experience of the one who killed you]- [Your Rebirth has gained you more strength]- [Previous accumulated strength, speed, magic, attack, intelligence, and skill: 50]- [Current: 150]- [New Instant Quest: You have grown stronger, NOW YOU MUST KILL HIM]Although Cy's heart had started beating, he was still on his knees, and his bleeding had stopped. The guard grinned and gripped his blade tight."Let's see what happens when your head rolls off… Shall we?" said the guard with a dark sinister grin etched on his face.Boom!As the guard zoomed forward to slice Cy's head, our MC, at an unfathomable speed, stood up and dashed against the guard.In a tremendous display of resilience... KaBoom! Cy's palm covered the whole face of the guard. KaBoom! He smashed this guy's head to the ground.Erupting rocks in the sky and the result is Cy on top of the big guy, staring at the red screen beneath him.- [Congratulations: You Have Killed The One Who Dared to Kill You]The other guard stumbled backward, one, two, and three times when Cyrus walked away like a cold killer and muttered to him, "He's dead... Don't bother treating him."The nerd and the girl watched Cyrus walk off like some mob god. In fact, the nerd liked the situation so well. First, he now knows Cyrus gets stronger with every death, as he had presumed.'Of course, Cyrus wasn't that strong before; something must have happened when he died... But can he get stronger without dying first?' thought Nerd.The girl glanced at the dead guard lying on the broken floor. Without hesitation, she ran to catch up with Cyrus, and, as if her ability were instant teleportation, she caught up with him."Cyrus," yelled the girl jovially as she hopped on him. "Boss, boss, you were amazing," the girl said, smiling as she grabbed Cy's arm."Bossie, should I clean you up?"Those words just made Cyrus' day, cleaning him up. Doesn't that mean bathing him, and a girl is the one doing that?He acted like he was debating on the topic and said yes almost instantly. The girl also felt elevated when Cyrus agreed, and they both entered her room.Meanwhile...On a round metallic table that had a map covering the full borders, different types of men and women were there.Elf, skeleton Berserker king, demon human, and some other demons. The round table of the ten highest demons ranks."The angels have broken through the first wall; this is the only demon city left, so what do we do?" asked the skeleton Berserker king."Time is not on our side; we need strong demons and players. What is Elsa doing?""She had summoned a few, so she and her summoning spell have ceased for some reason," replied the peng elf."Well so? The ones she summoned, how strong are they?" asked the skeleton Berserker king. At the question, all eyes fell on the peng demon elf."Three were highly praised, one of them being the incarnation of the beast monarch."The last two words brought murmurs on the round table. The incarnation of the beast monarch? That wasn't rare but impossible."I saw it myself; it seems lord destruction is planning on reviving. It is in one of their bodies, and I believe he'll be nurturing whoever that human is.""If the lord's destruction comes back, I don't think anything will survive; the world will be ours at that time," said the skeleton Berserker king.Eventually, the demon with six eyes said something of his own. "And how are we doing with the other demon kings trying to make the lord's destruction stay dead?""I heard the demon king Barnas is near the walls; he tried to take over the world before. The Lord's destruction returns… he has even opened dungeons, not just in our world but that of the angels.""Are there not any weaklings summoned?" asked the skeleton king."Well. There is one I know of. He says here his ability is supreme trash and. He would keep on dying repeatedly."As the peng elf said those words, they all laughed; even the skeleton king laughed so hard that he was holding his bones hidden behind his purple dark robe."Then send him to look for the demon king Barnas. He obviously cannot kill a demon lord, so he should just find him and kill any angels on his way."—————Meanwhile, the girl was sitting on top of Cyrus, whose body was now clean of blood, and wearing dark trousers as he was on the bed with the girl on top of him."Bossie... Let's make babies," said the girl jovially.Cy's expression widened, making no response. The girl leaned forward and crawled her fingers from Cy's chest towards his lips. "Bossie, let's make-"Ding Ding!- [Main Quest: Locate demon king Barnas]- [Sub Quest: kill angels (not optional)]- [System Remark: Demon King Barnas is a strong demon king and one of the eight demon kings who betrayed the lord's destruction. King Barnas is stronger than you could ever be, so your quest is to locate him in the dungeons and do not engage him, or you'll die repeatedly]- [Required Time To complete the quest: some days]- [Failure to complete the quest: You'll die repeatedly]- [Quest type: Lower rank quest type: You've been given this quest because you're weak]Cyrus was overall confused. At first, he had no idea what a dungeon was. Two, no idea why the blue holographic screen kept insulting him, and three, no idea why the girl kept staring at the screen."Woah Bossie, you've been assigned to the hunter class."A dungeon is a place where monsters and beasts dwell, and also an advantage is that killing these beasts would grant demon cores.These cores can be sold to earn money or forged as high-grade weapons, depending on the level of the demon killed."But Bossie, once you enter a dungeon, there's no coming out until it's cleared.""Okay, so what's the problem with that?""The quest cannot be achieved, Bossie. If you find the demon king Barnas, you'll be trapped inside the dungeon because you found him," said the girl jovially, this time she had already climbed on Cy's shoulder.Cy glanced at the blue screen before he dismissed it and thought.'Few days? This thing is tricky and stupid. Wonder what type of quest Nerd and Aisha were given,' thought Cy."So let me get this straight. I go inside a dungeon and can only come out when the boss is dead, and also the dungeons connect with the angels' world, so if I see anyone I kill them."Cy summarized all that Alpha had told him. It wasn't a big deal and easy to remember, but Alpha wouldn't stop hugging his arm and saying "Bossie… You're so smart."The two of them were walking along the streets, heading towards a blue-black portal not far from the construction site up ahead.Overall, Cy got a chance to explore this new world, and from what he saw, there were no modern cars. This world had yet to invent things like that; the only vehicles were those with huge circles of steel tires (carts) with engines.The dress was a bit similar to that of his world, but almost everyone could be seen with armor and blades. There were no smartphones, but there was the telephone, and the buildings were a bit modern and tall too.'This feels like I'm living in the past,' thought Cy.Both of them came to a h
"I know you're both from the demons… So let's make this quick shall we?" said the angel.-[The Angel Has Recognized You Has An Enemy]-[Instant Quest: You Must Not Let Him Leave Alive]The angel grinned wider on top of the beast as he watched Cyrus face him. Apha was already cowering behind Cy."C.. Cy, he has a B-rank skill," muttered the alpha as she squeezed Cyrus' blue sweater.'He's weaker,' thought the angel.Once again, Cy and the angel exchanged glances. It was like a stare-down battle royale. With a devious, sinister grin, the angel looked at Alpha and leaped from the top of the dead spider. Kaboom...!Cy's eyes widened when a dagger appeared in the guy's hand, and he was thinking he'd be planning to attack him, that's at an unfathomable speed (woosh).The angel reappeared and slashed his dagger against Alpha, who was caught off guard too, however, before the blade could so much touch her frightened skin.Kweuk'The elf coughed out blood when Cy, out of nowhere, left a huge pu
The water from the rap rushed out into the bathtub. Cyrus sighed as he strolled and switched it off. Overall, he was in black boxer shorts and a black towel around his wet neck.Cyrus stared at his body in the mirror. His once slender body had started to become muscular. He stared into his blue eyes and flashed back to how he slit the angel's throat.The darkness he felt in his head was like he originated darkness. "Demon King Barnas, a demon king."Cyrus toweled his dark hair and walked out of the bathroom with a stretch while flexing his newfound muscles.Unknown to him, Aisha was in his parlor. She stood beside the door and observed the well-arranged parlor.Cyrus unlocked the room door, now adorned in black clothing. As he veered around, he was surprised to see it was Aisha, almost as if he was expecting someone but not Aisha."Huh, hi," muttered Aisha's shaking voice.Cyrus stared at her, giving her the face of "What are you doing here?""Are you… Are you okay?" asked Aisha. She w
Cyrus and Alpha had walked some meters inside this burning hell of a place. They weren't entirely lost because Alpha could sense some other demons around, and that was the direction they were both heading.It didn't take much to walk, and they both arrived at the location Alpha had pointed out. Some demons were working hard, digging holes because they were ordered to.Cyrus glanced at the long, straight hole, and he could already tell what they were planning. Maybe the gutters were the end of the line where the demon general would cross."You there, why aren't you doing anything?" asked a lady with short red hair and adorned in battle clothing.Cyrus didn't answer her, causing her to walk away from the miner she was with and towards Cyrus. "I asked you a question, are you not here to stop the demon general?""Yes," said Cyrus.The girl gave Alpha a look and redirected her gaze back to Cy before she looked at one of the workers hitting the ground hard with his digging ax."Hey Matthew,
With a single word, "advanced," the monsters began charging at them, shaking the earth's crust with their massive paws. Among them were demon bears, humanoid demons, and some black beasts without eyes, crawling on claws with razor-sharp fangs at the tips of their faces (known as "black eaters").Overall, Cy gripped the daggers tightly and focused on what was to come, until a random sword wielder from Cy's side moved forward while laughing."Is that the Baras? Haha, record this." The man paused as he grinned, glancing behind his neck. He muttered, "He's mine."The muscular demon dashed forward and leaped high with his blade, screaming for no reason. "Now, die!" yelled the man still in midair with his huge blade.Baras gripped the handle of the ice-bone skeleton throne, a smirk escaping his lips. No one knew how it happened, but they saw how it ended in a flash.From that far distance, Baras was seen in front of the charging demons, and in midair, the head of the muscular demon man was m
Baras stares at the three of them, his glance continuously altering from one to the other like a mad man... He growled and yelled, "Well, come at me."As Baras yelled, his shirt ripped out and his white hair got longer as his body got slenderly muscular. "Dieeeee", yelled Baras.Baras dashed forward with a demonic smile kissing his face, the moment he got close to Iris, he slashed his dagger vertically, but Bam', alpha jumped in and blocked the dagger with her blade.Creating room for Iris, who zoomed towards Baras and slashed his ribcage, drawing blood with her attack."He's done", muttered Cyrus.Our MC bolted towards Baras and attacked for an instant kill, but Baras dodged it and was unable to evade Cyrus's attack when our MC squatted and connected his boot against Baras' chest, kweuk', causing blood to escape the demon's mouth.Now he was surrounded, but Baras wasn't giving off any sign of surrender."You're outnumbered, and you're finished, so give up", said Iris.Baras held his
The dark cave having green crystals as a source of light was filled with dead goblins, Nerd's blade was covered in blood similar to Aisha's blade."So what did he say?", said Nerd. A goblin slashed at him but due to his innate potential to think faster than absolute normal, he could see the trajectory of the attacks, so for him... Every attack was slowed for him to think ahead and counter.He simply caught the wrist of the goblin and broke the monster's bone, shooting it out of its green epidermis."He didn't say anything, he just walked out, but I could tell he was mad at me.""Well you did leave him back there, didn't you?", said Nerd, staring at Aisha, who bit her lips with her eyes closed tight."Well I had no other choice, I didn't know what to say", Aisha let out a frustrated sigh.Nerd wouldn't say he understood her fully. Meanwhile, four goblins were gaining on Aisha. The girl sighs and with a step.Tak...!She was behind the goblins. The nerd saw what she had done, she moved
Cyrus docked in a cave-like structure with blue glowing crystals etched on the corners or top of the cave.Overall, he was lost and confused because, right in front of him, he saw two caves leading to two different routes."I wish Alpha was here", Cyrus let out a sigh of frustration and decided to go with the route on the left... But in two seconds he came and muttered "Dead end".In other words, Cyrus took the right route. Unknown to him...A dark-matter humanoid lion adorned in a black suit was watching Cyrus through a floating screen... This demon sat on his throne and Cyrus's presence alone made him grip the handle of the throne tight.He sneered with those razor-sharp fangs slightly visible, keeping his angry facade under control.————Meanwhile...Cyrus thought this whole dungeon thing was a walk in the park or, better yet, a walk in the dungeon because he'd been walking for what seemed to be ten minutes.That is until he heard a voice call out..."Hey, what's your business here
