The vibration reverberated from the steps of Tejasv and Daemon startling the gnomes engaged in thrashing the corpse of the dead man. As their ears twitched due to their sensitive senses, they turned around to glance at the origin of the vibrations.Their eyes widen, and they grind their teeth with groans at the sight of two humans coming toward them with weapons and hostility. They were alarmed by the humans, and because of their instincts, they stood anxiously with their claws out in front with reflex action.The gnomes roared at Tejasv and Daemon while grunting from their anger at how some humans dared to intervene in their lunch. It was evident from their expressions that none of them expected petty human prey to charge towards them for being offensive.Oppositely, on the other side, Tejasv and Daemon grinned and sprint swiftly to the gnomes' position. They firmly clenched their weapons and taunted the beasts with counter roars. Both of them also growled to intimidate and provoke t
Tejasv signaled the Daemon and gestured to him to strike along with him as fiercely as he could muster his strength against those gnomes. Both of them snorted together and glanced back at those monsters before them.Not only did they have a plan and the intention to destroy the enemy before them, but even the gnomes also had enough of these humans. They groaned and grumbled due to the pain and agony in their bodies.The gnomes dived back from Tejasv and Daemon to counterplan something to their advantage. They pulled back the arrows stuck close to the joints of their limbs since they proved a hurdle in moving their bodies.Their movements were swift enough to leave Tejasv and Daemon stunned at their positions. Not only that, but the exhausted conditions of Tejasv and Daemon also aided the gnomes in these actions.Now both sides were prepared to strike back and battle once again. Tejasv and Daemon struggled to compose their heavy breath, while the gnomes also had a hard time enduring th
The gnomes screeched in pain and were left stunned by the attack. Gradually, their expressions paled and the strength faded from their muscles. They felt cold, and the blood splattered like a running stream, mixing with the blood on the floor.Tejasv and Daemon resumed peering at the cold and lifeless figures of gnomes slowly falling to the floor with no resistance or retaliation. It was evident this battle was over the moment Tejasv and Daemon pierced the monster's chest.They snorted and composed their breathing. They swiveled back and signaled thumbs up to Catherine and Salina for the confirmation of victory. They even took a deep breath and slightly smirked at each other.When Catherine and Salina received the signal, a calm and relieved grin appeared on their faces. They smiled at each other and sighed with relief. Both of them were jovial from their victory since Salina bested the enemies in her debut battle.She was overwhelmed and precise as a top sniper. Now, none could point
Tejasv and his team moved around towards their destination, Tejasv's home, where they formed their base for the time being since Tejasv was the center of the team and he was the one who gathered people together. Their focus was directed on the path back to his home.Although reaching Tejasv's home was their necessity and aim, there was another reason behind the cause. Since most of the buildings around them were ruined by something, they rushed to find the location of their base. Whether it was still standing or following these destroyed buildings, their heads were jumbled with these thoughts.Still, before the concern for their base, Tejasv and Daemon were worried about their states after the prolonged battles in the dungeon and afterward. They also realized none of the locations around them were purely secure from threats.Therefore, they decided to hide somehow, at least carefully and safely enough to survive a monster's attack while they could protect themselves with minimal effor
Everyone had a hunch about the strength and brutality of those ogres. Hence, the fear of Tejasv and the Daemon was right on target. Although Tejasv said they had the skills to fight ogres, their current conditions would hold them back.Tejasv continued in his narration, "Don't worry! Even though we noticed the ogres, they were merely the lowest-ranking ones in small groups. Still, they’re out of our league in our current drained state! Let's avoid monsters whom we cannot face by ourselves for now."Catherine and Salina nodded, but Daemon, on the other hand, still had doubts creeping on his expression. They all frowned and asked him about his concerns. He snorted and said to Tejasv, "Have you noticed those monsters stepping into some buildings? None of the humans screamed or anything, why?"Tejasv nodded and rubbed his chin while pondering. He then spoke with his theory: "Actually none of the ogres stepped into the apartment where any humans still lived as if something prevented them f
Tejasv scrolled down and gazed at his profile as presented by the system, marking his various traits with some sort of screening in numbers. His eyes widened as he concentrated on the system screen.====>[profile]Name: TejasvRank: __Ph: +2Int: +1Skill: [Copy and Paste] (+1)1. [Regeneration] +12. [My Zone] 3. [Weapon Master] +1 4. __ 5. __No. of Territories: 4The number of subordinates: 3.Coins: 1853====He noticed various features of the system, and some of his traits were written in some numeric form. He checked and contemplated their usage one by one since those features may define his survival.The first one was something like "Ph" with "+2" beside it. When he couldn't figure out whatever it was, he rolled his eyes down and found "Int" and "Skill," also with some numerical positive signs beside them.At this certain moment, he realized their usage and means. He remembered the first time the system appeared when it asked everybody to select one trait to enhance throug
Tejasv then scrolled down and concentrated on the territory given by the system. He noticed some numbers that left him in a daze since it would require some brooding to understand their appearance.The system regarded Tejasv as the owner of four territories, while he had three subordinates under his command at the moment. Although three subordinates were referred to as Catherine, Daemon, and Salina, how did four territories fall under him?He then pondered something and claimed that the territories of subordinates also lie within the assets of the kings. Hence the four territories must be the apartment of the three subordinates he had.Not only that, but he also remembered the most prominent warnings of the system. The monster siege, or whatever the system called that event, warned everyone had the proportional threat of the number of territories one person may hold under him.Since Tejasv was the owner of four territories, the danger he posed also rose at that time. Although he had v
Tejasv then moved forward in the system and clicked on the next option on the screen. It was stated as "Territory" after the subordinate function. It caught his attention a bit more than the rest of the functions since he wanted to know further about the territory system.But to his disappointment, the system denied the use of the function. He attempted to click it again and tried a few more times to explore the territory referred to on the screen. The only reason for his curiosity was to learn the system’s view on these territories.Suddenly, the system sends him a notification, which lets him have some hope, but when his gaze fell on the screen, his hope was shattered and he felt disappointed since it once again denied his authority.Click! Click!====>[Territory][The user still had no full authority to explore this option since he had yet to pass the test to claim his rights on any particular territory!]====Now that Tejasv had squinted his eyes and read carefully the notificati
