Like getting struck by lightning, Nash got up from his lying position and blinked several times, unable to comprehend what had just happened. He told the system to buy him a rejuvenation potion from the game store.
Well, Nash just happened to know it because he saw another player who was injured from fighting and healed himself using that potion, but he did not know this potion would be so effective! His sore back from sleeping on the haystack even healed itself.
“Still, 7 HC for one potion is too expensive,” murmured him while stretching his stiff shoulder muscles.
Nash stood up and warmed up before looking around and seeing that he was left alone here. The second-floor door was closed and would not open again until he wiped out all the monsters here. Nash let out a plain laugh. “Hahaha, really? They didn’t even wait for me after I saved their lives from that 8-leg hairy monster?”
The remaining spider monsters, who noticed there were still living humans, started to come out from their web nest and surrounded Nash from all directions.
“Well, I guess there is no other option except kill them all.” His slender fingers ran through his hair, making it a neat, slick back style. “System, can you calculate how much exp, points, and coins I will get if I defeat all the monsters on this floor?”
[Calculation completed.
Total monsters on this floor:
4 adult spiders
5 young spiders
20 spider cocoons
Total exp received:
(230 x 4) + (120 x 5) + (20 x 20) = 1920 exp (Lv 7 > 8)
Total points received:
19 P
Total coins received:
(3 x 4) + (2 x 5) + (1 x 20) = 42 HC ]
Nash would not lie that he was weak in math, so he nodded in agreement with whatever the system said. “Hmm, you’re indeed a genius. So, all I need to do is beat them up and collect that legit exp, right?”
[Yes.]
“Alright, let’s do that. Can I use my new skill? Is there any limitation like the duration, maybe?”
[No, as long as you have enough MP to maintain it.]
Nash frowned at the system’s words for a while, ignoring the spider monsters creeping slowly to approach him in the middle. “Hmmm, I think I need to check something first. Open status window.”

“Check Web Blast skill,” repeated Nash, and another window opened with the detailed information of his new skill as long as with its advantage and disadvantage.
//
[ Web Blast Lv. 1 ]
You can shoot a web blast from your palm to immobilize enemies, control the crowd, and create a long-distance attack. The disadvantage of this skill is the limited use of the web. It started from 1km from the first level to infinite, depending on the skill level.
The cost of each attack using this skill is 9 MP.
//
“Heh,” scoffed Nash short. He knew he made the right decision of choosing the Web Blast as his skill rather than other offensive skill like Poison Nail. It was because Web Blast was a passive and versatile skill. He already has two offensive skills and needed a skill to support him from behind.
He had read all the information and closed the window with a voice command. Nash spent too much time reading his hologram window and forgot he was being surrounded now.
“Oops, gotta finish this quick.” His current main goal was to defeat all these monsters by reducing not much MP. He still needed it when he moved upstairs. Nash did not want to spend another coin for an expensive rejuvenation potion.
From where he stood, Nash quickly surveyed the room and identified which spider he needed to immobilize first.
(There!)
“Web Blast!” Nash used his Web Blast skill to immobilize the largest spider in this room and made it stumbled because of losing balance. He ended up burying the two poor young spiders who walked underneath it. Not waiting for that monster to get up and balance itself again, Nash ran fast toward it and landed a Blow Kick on its face.
BOOM!
The spider’s head exploded.
[You got 230 exp from defeating an adult spider monster.]
[You got 120 exp from defeating a young spider monster.]
[You got 120 exp from defeating a young spider monster.]
[You got total 3 points and 7 coins as a reward for defeating an adult spider monster and two young spider monsters.]
“Nice kick,” said him with a proud face before three young spiders chased him from a different direction with an angry expressions as if being mad because Nash killed their brothers. Well, he could not keep silent if those spiders tried to kill him in the first place, right?
A death or life situation like this made Nash remember about the shadow’s words that it dreamed of a survival-like game and not a slice of life, so basically, Nash was his pawn to satisfy his selfish desire.
SCHREEEEEE—
“Screw it. I’ll save Chi and Grandma, and then I’ll find that fucking shadow to give him a nice punch.” Nash dodged the sudden attack and slid underneath one of them. Then he used his kick to hold one young spider as a shield before pushing it hard to the other two until they crushed each other.
The painful scream coming out from those monsters made Nash cover his ears and move quickly from that place, but three giant adult spiders blocked him. They tried to intimidate him using menacing red eyes and purplish saliva poison coming out from their sharp teeth.
Nash would have been scared if he had not seen their fucking ugly face before, but now he just yawned while stretching out his arms. “Well, if I were you, I would not stand in that place for too long. It’s kinda sticky, you know, like some super glue.”
The giant spiders looked at each other before hanging their head down and saw that Nash had made a giant pool of web traps. He had used almost half a kilometer of his total Web Blast.
(Well, I can’t defeat all of them if I run out of MP, and I can’t waste more than this.)
SCHREEEE—!!!!
The giant spiders tried to move, but alas, all their feet had been engulfed in the web’s pool and could not escape easily. Of course, Nash would not let them escape from that pool because he had prepared a final attack to finish three of them in a single direct punch.
“I think I’m going to faint again after this fight,” murmured he murmured, clenching his right palm into a fist and repelling the skill.
“Blow Punch!”
BOOOOOOM!
Greenish fluid splattered all over the floor, and the cocoons, or it could be called soon-to-be newborn spider monsters, melted in heat because getting drenched by their dead parents' poisonous blood. Nash quickly evacuated himself near the second-floor door and waited until it opened.
[You got a total of 1450 exp, 16 points, and 35 coins as a reward for defeating three adult spider monsters, three young spider monsters, and 20 spider cocoons.]
[You have been leveled up from 7 > 8]
[Congratulation! You got a new title, “Web-Weaving Warrior”]
Nash suddenly blinked when hearing the cringe title that he got. He did not even have time to sit down after hearing it.
“What the heck?”

The loud sound made everyone there turned their head to see what had happened. A heavy fog from the dust covered their sight and made some of them cough. The biggest culprit, Theodore, stumbled on the ground while trying to get up because of that explosion.The old lady showed an angry expression. “Theo—”“It’s not me! Okay? The door exploding itself!” But Theo defended himself quickly, saying that it was not his fault at all.Even though the commotion happened there, the giant Gargoyle did not move at all and stayed still at its original place, like a predator that waited patiently for its prey to come.The little fox girl, or Foxie, her current temporary name—even though it was better rather than being called ‘Hey’ or ‘You’ or ‘Trash’ and any other hurtful nicknames—ignored the commotion and focused to chew her first food for this day.

“Shut up, old hag. I still have business with him.” Siegrid pushed the old lady behind and faced Nash again with a fuming rage. His eyes glistened red, and Nash saw some veins on Sieg’s large forehead. “I’ll make you kneel and beg for my mercy, Bastard.”But Nash ignored him and walked past Siegrid to reach the old lady's place. He kneeled in front of her. “Are you okay, Madam?”The old lady nodded. “I’m alright, but don’t you supposed to feel angry with us because we left you behind?”Nash shrugged his shoulder lightly. “It’s a different matter. I’ll help you if you keep your promises, so it’s not a help but a business. How about that, Madam?”She looked at her companions and waited for their responses, but it did not take for too long for them to agree with Nash's statement. “Yes. We’ll agree with that. We’ll give you anything if you can bring us safely from this tower.”“Then, I’ll need a little help.” Nash heaved a relieved sigh and straightened his back. He looked around to see t

A fine looking girl with shoulder length hair and a flat bang came forward while holding her hand together. Her pale cheeks blushed red, which made her a perfect example of innocent beauty.“What’s your name, Miss?” asked Nash abruptly, almost raptured by her breathtaking look. But Nash could handle his facial expression and act normal, he must realize that it was not a right time to think about something useless like that. Nash needed to get out of this dungeon tower safely.“Ah … m-my name is Lisa.” Lisa, felt embarrassed because Nash was looking directly to her eyes. The real reason behind her willingness to volunteer was that Nash saved her life on the first floor back then and Lisa could not stop herself from not falling in love at the first sight with Nash.“Miss Lisa, are you a healer?”“Ah! Y-yes …,” murmured her, almost whispering. She even avoided direct contact with Nash, which made him started overthinking.Nash raised one of his eyebrows and looked around to see if everyo

“I can do this.” Greg took a deep breath and stepped forward, his heart racing with fear and adrenaline. He knew that he had to be brave and protect his team, but the memory of losing his best friend not long ago still weighed heavily on him.As he approached the towering Gargoyle Guardian and went inside the dangerous circle, his legs started to tremble, and his hands grew clammy. But he gritted his teeth and raised his shield, ready to take on the monster.“Come on! Big boy! Throw that mace!”The Gargoyle Guardian opened its eyes and swung its massive rock mace at him, but Greg was quick to dodge and counter with a fierce blow from his sword. He felt a surge of strength and courage as he fought, his muscles burning with exertion.Despite his fear, Greg continued to press the attack, determined to protect his team. He felt a newfound sense of purpose and bravery as he battled the Gargoyle Guardian, his heart pounding with every blow.“I hold him! Nash!!!!!” screamed Greg with all his

“Woah, this room is so big!” exclaimed Greg while walking inside the Breather. It was a wide room area which placed before the peak of the dungeon tower and used as a rest area.After defeating the Gargoyle Guardian monster, the Breather room door opened and everyone thundered in.“Oh—finally I can feel my feet again.”“Ahhhh, the air of temporary freedom is the best.”People started to chat with each other while sitting or lying on the ground, even some of them brought lunch and shared it together. That was unavoidable since being alive after defeating that gigantic monster sounded impossible.Well, that was true if half of the raid group members were mass killed before Nash came, but it all did not matter since everyone here was not close to each other and gathered here only because of money in the first place. Still, the grief of seeing death affected almost people here, let alone they did not reach the peak dungeon tower yet.“Excuse me, d-do you want a sandwich?” Nash, sitting an
The NPC Got A System 21. The Flashback
One hour ago, when the Breather opened, and everyone rushed in to rest, there was someone who chose to remain on the third floor. But he did not do that without purpose.As a wise man once said that information could kill more than a weapon, and Siegrid had a piece of secret information that he got from one of his trusted brokers about this damned dungeon tower.‘The rumour said that in the peak of Schlydia Tower, there is a treasure room filled with gold and jewels, and guarded by a deadly tower boss monster. That’s why every player tried their luck to finish the tower but never made it back alive, so Schlyidia Tower also has another name—Man Eater Tower. But, the real reason why that tower is being called like that is not the treasure room guarded by a deadly monster—it’s in another room.’‘It is said that there is a room, deep inside the tower, hidden between the third and the Breather room, a room filled with the trapped soul that died inside the tower.

We want to eat them all.”Groooo—From the entrance door, a mist made from darkness crept slowly and made everyone there shiver from indescribable fear. It was like death came to fetch them. Inside the mist was the trapped soul that turned into something horrible and awful, full of darkness and negative energy, the ghouls.The ghouls did not take human form, but the skeletons with red fire blazing behind their head skulls. They brought weapons. They had so many weapons—it looked like their current weapon was based on what kind of weapon they used before they died.Aside from that, Nash and all the remaining group members have gathered in one place and created a defense position to hold back from the ghouls' attack. While Siegrid now sat on a skull throne that his ghoul armies made for him. He looked content with the devastated expression written on Nash’s face.“Bastard … why are you doing this now?

"Hmm... seems like the situation ain't good for us to talk anymore," said Aurora, glancing at Snow and Elaine suspiciously. "Meet me after the evening feast in the VIP room later. My private guard will take you there. That is if you're still interested in my offer. Farewell, Hero."Aurora gave a thin smile, leaving a charming impression as she walked out of the barracks where Nash rested. True to her name, snow traces lingered wherever she stepped, turning the room into an instant ice-bound mountain.A moment after Aurora's departure, Elaine wasted no time and approached Nash with a skeptical look. "You... how do you know the princess from the Arctic region? Have you been meeting secretly behind my back?""Re-really! Tell me, Nash! Princess Aurora is my idol!

The system had clearly and explicitly explained to Nash what Third World View was—a dimension where Nash could observe events in a location by projecting himself, but whatever Nash did or said could be conveyed to the real world due to the very thin barrier between them."Why can I only do this now?" Nash protested. If he had known that he could do this for a long time, Nash could have used this skill to locate his friends and Chisato.[Answer: That is because Player Nash has just fulfilled the conditions and requirements for using the exclusive skill: Third World View.]The system's answer made Nash furrow his brow. He then opened his information window and looked at his current player information.

Nash had a strange dream. He was in the midst of a great battle where monsters escaped from the tower where they were imprisoned and attacked everyone, including civilians and players. The dream felt incredibly real as Nash could hear people screaming as the monsters chased and tore them apart, while the players were busy defeating the monsters and couldn't save the trapped civilians in the chaos. "What is this? Why am I dreaming such terrible things again?" Nash still remembered the last time he had a bad dream, which turned out to be a reality. However, that was because the dream was a memory of Nash as an NPC repeating a game script, but this time Nash was no longer just an NPC but also a part of Heaven of Terraria. So, what did all of this mean? "In a little while, Heaven of Terraria will reach its final arc." A voice suddenly came from beside Nash, causing him to spontaneously turn and see the figure. Nash was taken aback when he realized that the figure was someone he knew.

"Ugh, why are there so many people? I can't even find a way to escape," Chisato muttered as she got trapped in a crowded crowd at the waiting area for the qualifying participants. Prince Hassan had ordered Chisato to buy some snacks because he was hungry, despite the fact that Hassan had been eating all day, but he was still hungry. Chisato wanted to refuse, but she knew deep down that she was only surviving on Hassan's kindness as the prince of Iskandarien. Chisato would definitely be a homeless person on the streets if Hassan hadn't offered her a job at that time, although sometimes Chi felt that Hassan just wanted to toy with her."Sigh, I better get out soon and find some snacks before that food-loving prince comes looking for me and ends up disappearing who knows where."

"Hurry, come in here. It's safer here!"A girl pulled the overwhelmed young man's hand, pushing through the crowd that tried to reach out to interview him. Without hesitation, the young man followed the girl's lead and entered a closed room that wasn't crowded—only a few participants who had made it through the second round were there."Whew, that was close. Wasn't it?"The young man then removed the mask he had been wearing for approximately 22 hours in the labyrinth and revealed his face covered in sweat."Yes, you're right. I didn't expect there would be so many journalists waiting for us at the finish line." He paused for a moment, then suddenly touched the girl's cheek. "El, your cheek is bleeding. Did you get scratched earlier?"Elaine blinked in surprise when Nash suddenly touched her cheek. She quickly pushed Nash's hand away and covered her reddened cheek out of embarrassment.

"Excuse me, oops— I'm sorry."An orange cup with a white plastic straw fell to the floor when someone hit it with her elbow, and she received a death stare."Do you wish to die now, huh?" The cup owner, a big man three times her size, looked at her menacingly. He had just lost a bet when his pick died on the battlefield, resulting in the loss of nearly 50 gold coins. Now, a petite-looking girl stood in front of him with a half-dumbfounded expression after making his last orange cup fall to the floor. "I'll—""Please, let her go, mister. Here's a small compensation for your loss."From the girl's side, a young man hurriedly stood in front of her, as if protecting her from the big and somewhat intimidating man. He held out a pocket to the man, causing the big man to raise his eyebrow in confusion. However, when he heard the heavy clink from the pocket, he decided to take it quickly."Now you understand, boy!

“We surrounded all of them!”“Guard them so no one can escape!”As the crowd gathered, Nash stood triumphant, the victor of the intense battle against Vexul, Nekron, and Morgrath. The defeated members of the Arcane Guild were now bound, surrounded by a group of nearly ten individuals, ensuring their capture. Nash, wearied from the arduous fight, wore an expression of exhaustion and fatigue, yet a sense of satisfaction shone through.Vexul, his teeth gritted in frustration, refused to accept his defeat, his eyes filled with a fiery determination that mirrored his unyielding spirit. "This... this cannot be! I will not accept this outcome!"Nash, with a stoic gaze, addressed Vexul, his voice laced with weariness yet an unwavering resolve. "Your arrogance blinds you, Vexul. Accept your defeat with some semblance of grace."Meanwhile, Morgrath, filled with desperation, made a futile attempt to escape the clutches of his captors.

“Keurgh!”Nash engaged in a fierce battle against Vexul, the master of spatial manipulation, Nekron, a half-necromancer with dark magic at his disposal, and Morgrath, a relentless melee fighter with devastating burst skills. The clash between their abilities pushed Nash to the brink of exhaustion.[Warning: Your HP is in dangerous state. Please take a rest or drink a Health Potion to restore your HP.](Damn! I don’t have time even to pull a potion right now!)“Come! Flame Slash!”Unleashing his flame sword, a powerful weapon he had acquired from a previous battle, Nash fought with all his might. The flames danced and crackled, striking at his opponents with searing intensity. However, Vexul's space skill proved to be a formidable defense, as he effortlessly dodged and evaded Nash's fiery onslaught.“Keh—it’s that all you got after babbling and bragging?

Turning to Dragonclaw and Gron, he voiced his intentions.“I think it's time for me to head to the Safe Point and take a breather. We've earned it after that intense battle."Dragonclaw grinned mischievously, his eyes gleaming with playful sarcasm. "Oh, so The Mimic, the mighty fire-wielder, needs a little rest, huh?
