Morales’s final preparation was complete, so he had no need of staying in the simulated forest any longer. He gave a mental order which the hall’s A. I acknowledged as the world before him quickly disappeared.
It took him a few seconds before his sight finally recovered completely but darkness was what stared back at him. He blinked a few times in the darkness before he understood.
After removing the simulation helmet from his head, his sight finally returned before the familiar hall again.
Despite the intense movements he performed just a moment ago, he didn’t feel anything, rather he felt light and relaxed as the special couch gently massaged his back.
The only defect was that he felt mentally drained. He could only rest back on the couch and wait it out till his energy recovered.
He slightly inclined his head to the side, where Chloe’s beautiful face presented itself before him.
Her eyelids twitched a bit, indicating that she was doing something intense in the virtual world, but overall, her body was relaxed and calm.
Though Morales already admonished himself previously to keep a safe distance from her, seeing her so close still made his male hormones react as they should.
To him, her blonde hair looked more golden at such a close range. The fine contours of her slightly round face looked handmade by God; she was the perfect embodiment of beauty.
Though she was only 18 years old, due to her rank, she looked even more perfect than a mature lady.
Seeing the jean trousers that clung tightly to her long legs, he once again felt how beautiful this girl was.
His eyes twitched as he suddenly felt someone staring at him, the person didn’t bother to hide his intense gaze at all.
Turning his eyes to the side, his eyes clashed with a Herculean figured Pugilist. His face turned flat immediately, seeming like he was already used to this.
This man was the widely acknowledged strongest student among the first-year students, he was called Boulder due to his fighting style and his physique.
The man’s large eyes flashed on seeing him look to his side, he made a warning sign while using his fingers to slash his throat.
The meaning was evident but Morales didn’t give a damn. He nonchalantly raised a middle finger at the bastard, stood up from his simulation couch, and casually walked away.
He already recovered his energy, so he had nothing to do there again.
-------------------------------------------------------
You have sown a seed of hatred with the grade E powerhouse: Boulder.
Favorability has decreased by -20
Current relationship: Hatred [20/20]
--------------------------------------------------
Feeling the burning gaze at his back, Morales only chuckled and left. As no fight was tolerated between students, the Boulder could only get angrier without being able to do anything.
“What a nice feeling it is to frustrate enemies”. He almost forgot the feeling already, he felt melancholic.
Leaving the virtual simulation hall, he wasted no time as he went directly to the location of the dojo dungeon.
By this time of the day, almost all the students of the dojo were outside training, so the atmosphere was extremely boisterous.
This liveliness made the environment packed up a bit, making him take more than he expected to reach the dojo dungeon. On the way there, he saw Rose, and they unexpectedly greeted each other.
He felt weird, it seemed that Chloe’s grudge settling tactic worked. He no longer felt the disgust he originally directed at her on seeing her, he instead just saw her as a roommate.
He shook his head to drive these silly thoughts away, they would not help him at this moment.
On getting to the dungeon entrance, before the cold-faced guards could ask him with their intimidating voice, he directly brought out his dojo card and showed it to them.
“Transfer the dojo points”. The one who seemed to be their leader demanded.
After transferring the 5 dojo points that were required to access the dungeon, Morales showed them the confirmation notification sent back before dropping his storage ring with them.
It was a rule of the dungeon that no student should carry cheat equipment that had unimaginable powers inside the dungeon, so everyone must drop his/her equipment before entering.
In the end, Morales could only take the storm sword inside, but that was already sufficient for him.
Seeing the magic teleportation door that was hovering before him, he took a deep breath to get his body’s internal regulation under control before taking the step inside.
With a warp sound, he disappeared.
[Participant 066: Your time starts now.]
[Objective: Wipeout every beast in this level.]
As soon as Morales felt his feet touching the solid ground again, this was the first thing that he heard. He already expected it though so he did not freak out, he instead watched his surroundings carefully.
He was in a small room that was surrounded by metal walls, there was little ventilation channel in here making everywhere seem extremely stuffy.
For every participant of the dungeon, the first level is always different every time, so Morales’s roommates could not give him advice that would make things easier for him.
He was expected to react on the spot.
Unfortunately for the dojo dungeon designers, he was someone that already farmed similar dungeons dozens of times. He had never farmed this particular level, but he knew of a player who had.
According to the player, this was called the unending labyrinth level and the best way to clear it at the fastest efficiency is to make noise.
Yeah, make noise. Lower-grade mutated beasts hated noise and were always attracted to it, which made this the best clearing strategy of this level.
The plan may not necessarily work in other levels as he had no means to make noise travel everywhere, but the metal walls of this specific level had sound amplifying properties.
As soon as he made all these deductions, Morales no longer hesitated. He rushed at the wall and started banging at it hard.
As this was the first level, he was also not afraid of being overwhelmed by the beasts hence his decision.
Thud! Thud!
It did not take long. Just a few minutes after he started hitting the wall, the thudding sounds of an incoming horde of beasts echoed out to his location.
He quickly stopped his actions and crept closer to the entrance of the part of the labyrinth that he was transported in. After getting there, he crouched before pointing his sword at the entrance.
Ptui!
His sword stabbed without resistance into the hide of the first beast that appeared. The animal howled loudly and shook its body roughly, but it amounted to nothing as it died a moment later.
Roaring sounds soon filled every corner of the room as beasts rushed in ferociously like they had no end to their numbers.
Morales did not perform any eye-catching moves nor did he use any of his race abilities, he used only the normal stab and kill move.
His storm sword proved to be a reliable companion at this moment as a stab equaled a kill, dozens of animal corpses soon filled most parts of the room with blood littering everywhere.
Another thing that Morales forgot originally was that this dungeon was a goldmine of experience to him. His face lit up into a smile as his system lit up notifications at him.
---------------------------------------------------------
You have killed a mutated Tibetan mastiff, gaining 400 experience.
You have killed a mutated Polar bear, gaining 650 experience.
You killed 3 mutated beasts simultaneously with one attack; +10% attack speed for the next minute.
----------------------------------------------------
As soon as Morales wiped out the first wave of beasts, everything became easy. He didn’t have to go round the labyrinth again, he just followed the trails left by the beasts to locate the others.
Just like that, he started a massacre across the 1st level of the dungeon.
With his current attributes and his control over his strength, the beasts stood no chance against him. He was practically one-shotting them with them offering no meaningful resistance.
He carved a trail of blood behind him as he dove deeper into the labyrinth.
When he met a dead end, he just retraced his steps and there would be other beasts rushing at him brainlessly to show him further directions.
The metallic edge of his sword gradually turned from a grey metallic color to dark red, the overflowing blood already started dyeing it. It seemed to be undergoing a baptism of blood.
---------------------------------------------------------------
You have killed over 100 mutated beasts in a span of 10 minutes:
Milestone activated: Beast Archenemy.
+10% experience from beast kills.
Kill more beasts and you will receive special temporary bonuses to your attributes.
Current bonus: +5% to all attributes.
--------------------------------------------------
As soon as this notification flashed at Morales, he immediately turned from the emperor of death to the god of death himself. His killing speed skyrocketed upwards like a shooting star.
About 15 minutes later, the notification from the dungeon A. I to indicate that he already finished the first level flashed.
[Congratulations! You have completed the first level, and you also succeeded in breaking the Robo labyrinth level’s record.]
[Record time: 00: 27: 09.]
[Base reward: +5 dojo points.]
[Bonus reward: +15 dojo points.]
[Transporting participant to level 2…, transportation completed.]
Morales’s eyes flashed as he disappeared from the labyrinth and appeared in a new location, he was in level 2 already after just 27 minutes. It was worth noting that Rose spent 2 hours here.
I hope you're enjoying this, thanks a lot.
“He’s crossed into the 4th level already! Which monster exactly is scaling the dojo dungeon?” A student dressed in red tight-fitting combat clothes exclaimed exaggeratedly. “And I heard that he’s among the newbies that were admitted just a few days ago. What a monster!”. Another one quickly chimed in excitedly. When a student is scaling the dungeon levels, there is an indicator outside that shows the number of levels that he/she has crossed and the current level he/she was in. This was Morales’s 4th hour inside the dungeon, and he was now in the 4th level. He spent only about an hour for the first 2 levels, but he spent about 3 hours just to clear the 3rd level. Despite this, his speed was still record-breaking and already attracted the attention of the whole dojo. Hundreds of students stood outside the entrance of the dojo, attentively watching the orange light that represented the 4th level. This crowd started from a student that als
Outside the dojo dungeon, silence reigned like the lord supreme as the atmosphere became tranquil like that of a graveyard. The sound of a pin dropping could even be heard in such an atmosphere. “What am I seeing?” The hundreds of students standing and waiting outside rubbed their eyes in disbelief, the notification currently flashing on top of the dungeon entrance’s wall was too eye-catching to be ignored. “F*ck, the kid broke the newbie record”. One of the more mature students finally broke the silence with a curse. This seemed to be the fuse switch as the other students immediately started discussing excitedly. “I can’t believe that he did it. I really want to see this genius kid; does he have a face like us?” One of the students asked excitedly. “No, he has your anus as his face”. Another one retorted immediately but the other did not care, he still reveled in the joy brought by this historic moment in the history of the Border tow
Being the closest to Morales, the 4 beast leaders were also the first that felt the change in his aura. They immediately adopted wary attitudes, but this could not still suppress their bestial instincts. The mutated Black panther, being the fastest rushed out in the front at Morales who gladly welcomed it with opened hands. Ptui!! Breeze swiftly blew past first, then the heavy sword cut down tyrannically the next moment. An unpleasant glaring sound of metal cutting through flesh reverberated, followed by a painful whimper, which formed a stark contrast to the originally chaotic noise from the battle. The Black panther dodged after detecting the danger, but Morales’s sword still cut a deep injury across its back. The flesh underneath that was exposed heaved up and down as the mutated beast cried out in pain. It was bloody. ------------------------------------------------- Critical hit -340 You have inflicted your
Morales’s vision spun a bit, rendering his perception temporarily distorted and disoriented. When he finally opened his eyes, he was not outside the dojo dungeon’s entrance like he expected. He was surprisingly in a room. The room had a sci-fi look to it, its grey metallic walls that were gleaming under the light illumination stole his breath away. “Where is this? Why was I transported here?” He frowned. As he did a 360-degree turn to check out the room and to confirm that he was not in any danger, he saw something horrifying. A pair of eyeballs hovered at a corner of the room, focused and looking at him so intently like they wanted to peer through him. The sight was eerie-looking and could induce goosebumps in anyone. Seeing this, Morales shuddered immediately. “Oh, great eyeball, forgive my travesty for I have sinned. It was not my intention to barge into your humble abode”. He improvised on the spot, spilling a bunch of nonsense imm
“How did you do it?” Chloe asked curiously as soon as they got back to their room to meet their genius teammate. “Zero, you’re so awesome. I’m completely blown away, now I can brag of having a genius as my roommate”. Dave didn’t care about Chloe’s question; he expressed his excitement without restraints. “Congratulations”. Rose simply said. She hid her complicated emotions to herself and located her chair to sit down. “Zero, tell me, I’m really curious. How did you do it?” Chloe did not relent despite the interruption from her other roommates. Morales shrugged. “I did it the exact way that it’s done by others. I hacked left and right with my sword, that’s all. Oh…, and I also used my race abilities to kill most of them”. “Dammit, you didn’t use any special strateg
When the sun started peeping through the veil of the night, Morales finally stopped his cultivation. After a whole night of cultivation, he discovered a few more surprises. Though he did not level up, he detected a visible increase in proficiency of his main and sub-class skills like basic body control and basic energy control. As he slowly pulled himself out of the fuzzy feeling brought by cultivating, he heard a knock on the door. He didn’t even have to think, he knew that his wayward roommates were back. “You guys finally decided to come back”. He said flatly after opening the door. “Hey, how did it feel staying alone without us? Did you miss us? Oh, I almost forgot, thank you for the dojo points. The night was a blast, we really enjoyed ourselves”. Chloe quickly pushed Morales aside and entered after he opened the door, with her mouth already shooting off words at the pace of a machine gun. “Good morning”. Rose and Dave finally gre
“Hey, remember our duel tomorrow. I hope you don’t cower in fear when the time comes”. Chloe said with a yawn as she stretched, exposing her perky cleavages before climbing her bed to retire for the night. Morales was careful not to show any obvious reactions to the sight. “Don’t worry, I won’t forfeit the duel”. “When the time comes…, it’ll be hard to know who’ll decide to forfeit”. He grinned. “Goodnight”. Chloe waved at the others before closing her eyes to sleep. Dave and Rose practically spent the whole day couped inside the room. Due to the loose manner in which the
Morales felt a cool feeling sweep through his body, penetrate his skin, and invade his heart. Despite this rude intrusion, he did not resist it, he welcomed it with open hands. This is power! In just a single night, he already transformed from the cub that he was to a teenage dragon ready to soar through the skies. What better feeling was there than this? “Finally! After all my effort, they all finally paid off. I’m now a grade E superhuman; all hail the mighty earthlings!” Feeling excited was an understatement for his current feeling, he felt giddy with joy and over the moon satisfaction. After taking a few moments to revel in the joy brought by his successful breakthrough, he finally calmed himself down to analyze his situation properly. Despite staying dormant in one place, he could feel the power that was stationary in his body like a slumbering monster waiting to be summoned by its master. By this time, all the aftermath o
When only less than 8% of the human population were left alive on Beiger planet, King Morales Clifford stood up to the challenge and rescued humanity! The clips were viral all across the planet after all the undead creatures that were terrorizing the biggest armies of the planets disappeared at the same time. The heroic battle of the new King could never be forgotten. Though the Pyramid was locked from the outside world when Morales was engaged in his epoch-changing battle against the Medusa and the mummified monster, there were countless experts who could recreate the scene. By recreating the scene, not only did the surviving humans know who rescued them, they saw it in the most impressive fashion possible. Once all the undead creatures disappeared like they were mere illusions, a much sought-after peace finally came unto Beiger planet. The next day after the final battle, the Vice Pirate Admiral who was once an outcast became a legen
Only 13% of the human population was left on Beiger planet, this was why the Suicide Squad was tasked to achieve the impossible since the impossible was the only achievement that could turn the tides of this war. Donning a special Pugilist armor that was made to fit his physique, and to enhance his Pugilist energy and endurance in battle, Morales was more than ready to take on this impossible mission. As one of the 3 Grade C- experts of this Suicide Squad, he had 1/3rd overall authority over any decision-making of the squad. As soon as they went deep inside the pyramid enough, and the number of zombies and other undead creatures swarming towards them started becoming too much, Morales gave a suggestion. “Let’s separate!” Morales could boast of being the warrior with the most knowledge about this Pyramid. Putting aside its deliberate model after earth’s pyramid of Giza, this was a battlefield where he had farmed for experience points like a man
Perhaps, Gorge Dame was right, this was indeed the end of the world! The Pharoah’s declaration of conquer was what flipped the delicate balance, Beiger planet was plunged into a world war after years of fairly stable development. As soon as Pharoah Khufu declared conquer, it was like an authoritative galaxy-wide order was given. All the undead beasts who answered to this ancient Pharoah listened and acted when he spoke. The pyramid opened up into individual triangular shuttles after the order, these shuttles turned into superspeed ferries to transport an endless army of undead creatures to all corners of Beiger planet. Beiger planet faced its greatest test of destruction yet. Faced against this predator of planets, Beiger planet faced a challenge where they had to rally their full strength just to present the most basic resistance. Faced against a common enemy that could annihilate all life from the planet, all political inclinations w
While reveling in the shock on the infiltrators’ faces on seeing his surprising compatriot, Gorge Dame spread his hands wide in an exaggeratedly expressive gesture to attract as much attention as possible. “I knew that you would come!” “I knew that you would all come, I’ve been waiting long enough!” “When I started my ambitious plan to induce the descent of the mythical great pyramid of Giza, I knew from the onset that such a plan could not be hidden from your scrutinizing gazes for long”. “To counter and prepare for this, I simply decided not to hide it. Through careful baiting and meticulously patient guidance over the years, I was able to remote control your important decisions till I led you all here”. “Hehehe!” “It feels so good to see enemies fooling themselves, so damn good!” “I didn’t just bring you here to enjoy yourselves though. Like a said, you all just earned yourselves a front-row seat to the end of the world”.
Warp! The advanced airship succeeded in infiltrating inside the Necromancy domain that the Necromancy alliance was famed for without triggering any alarms. This was a sign of a good omen towards the overall mission. None of the warriors that were recruited into the vanguard team cheered though, this was because they knew that this was just the calm before the storm. This act that they just started was an act of war! Inside the necromancy domain was like a dark endless void filled with chaotic space that kept on ravaging through anything that they could devour. It was now night, but the effects of the night here were amplified several folds. The extreme darkness, gloominess, and absolute silence gave this region the spookiest attribute that it could afford. This strange vacant void seemed spooky, but not to the warriors that came for this mission who were all battle-hardened veterans. None of them were flustered, they kn
As soon as Morales settled down, he swept his gaze through the enormous hall building and saw that a lot of people were already gathered here. Even as he came, others were also coming. The hunting alliance already put everything in order before convening this gathering. From the most important warrior to the least important, even the mysterious Elder Lorrain of the Clifford family were all present. Like before, Pirate Admiral Frenzy was the one who stood up to speak. He was seated alongside his fellow counterparts at the very front of the hall. Morales eyed these seats. With his current status as a Grade C- expert, if he revealed his real strength, he could easily become one of the higher-ups of this alliance. Despite the fame and prestige that may follow, Morales was okay with being prudent. He already had his own plans in place for this mission. To others, it was just about killing the necromancers and getting rid of a disast
Morales’s rapid increase in power made him feel surreal.For some reason, he felt that he was finally looking down on this planet from a vantage point. Getting to this strength level so rapidly would have affected new timers, but he was an old-timer.In his previous world, as an avid Space World gamer, he was among the first patch of players to level up to the Grade A Calamity realm.With such an achievement, leveling to the Grade C- realm seemed inconsequential though he would be beaten to death if any of the other Grade C- experts currently in Beiger planet heard him say that.In his luxurious room that was built inside his new mansion in Morales Island, Morales sat as a lot of things went through his mind.Tomorrow was the D-Day for the hunt mission to get the head of the notorious Gorge Dame to commence. But before going on this mission, Morales decided to make a trip alongside Bella.Once he informed Bella, she did not refuse, and
After the secret gathering that was convened in a secret virtual domain, Morales took his time communicating with the Pirate Admiral.Pirate Admiral Frenzy no longer hid anything from him.As he said, they discovered the fatal plan of the necromancers 2 years ago. Since then, they went into work on gathering manpower and trying to infiltrate the Necromancer’s Den to gather information.When the gathering started, it comprised only Pirate Admiral Frenzy and Pirate Admiral Rage. These 2 were the progenitors of the gathering, and they were responsible for the rapid growth of the gathering in the past 2 years.Compared to when it started, the gathering was now countless times more powerful. They looked invisible, but not so invisible against the Necromancer’s Den.The Necromancer’s Den already changed a lot, Gorge Dame was no longer the sole leader. Though the pyramid has not descended yet, the Undead Pharoah, Khufu was already extend
“Who is this?” Morales was confused at first on seeing his ringing communication device, but as soon as he picked up the call, his confusion cleared and was quickly replaced by surprise and speculations. “Morales, right?” On hearing the dignified voice that reverberated from the other side of the virtual projection screen, Morales snapped out of his daze. “Esteemed Pirate Admiral!” Morales quickly expressed his respect by standing up. Being contacted so suddenly by the well-known Frenzy Psychic, Morales experienced a rapid rush of emotions. It did not take him long before he connected this call to the achievements of his fleet in the just-concluded campaign. Though he really wanted to know the reason why this Pirate Admiral called, he did not dare keep him waiting. He put on the most polite smile that he could before asking the universal question. “To what honor am I receiving this unexpected call?” On hearing t
