As much as Ulmer wanted to meet Lera, he couldn’t ignore the children on the seventh level. He worked extra hard to send them all to safe places for now as he didn’t have the time to convince them and then ask them where their homes were. Some of them also seemed too young to even know where their real parents were, so Ulmer could only temporarily move them to a different place.Ulmer went to the auction centers, where children were auctioned for gold bars. Ulmer transported all the sellers over to where he had sent Elephant Eater who greedily attacked and then brutally killed them. He didn’t eat them because he was already full, but he still didn’t spare them. He killed them all, not even leaving one person alive.It seems he preferred to be alone in that darkness than to spend time with some random person.Meanwhile, Ulmer entered the eighth level, also known as the Shadowsnare, which looked like a town where criminals hardened by their experiences, imbued with bizarre, superhuman a
The center of the eighth level had become a battleground as two forces fought for supremacy.The leaders of the two forces clashed toe-to-toe, viciously attacking each other with a chain sickle and a spear.It was such an intense battle that many others couldn’t help but admire their skill even in the midst of war. With bated breaths, everyone waited to witness the winner of their mighty struggle.Both the leaders launched their ultimate attacks at each other, but a figure suddenly appeared between them, grabbing their heads and smashing them together, completely breaking their teeth.The jaws of all the onlookers dropped to the floor.“Fighting over alcohol and drugs… it’s pathetic to watch,” Ulmer uttered. His hood still covered half of his face, so people couldn’t see who he was. They didn’t recognize him as the Beast Hunter, either, because none of them watched the footage of Brawlers’ Arena.“I don’t even need to fight you all myself,” as Ulmer was saying, the others heard noises
The tenth level, also known as the Mirror Mall, was like a massive shopping mall where all kinds of items were available.It was packed with many people, making it appear like the busiest shopping mall ever.But what caught Ulmer’s eyes was not the traffic. It was the tall mirror present at every store.People could pay for items either in gold or by standing in front of the mirror and selling a part of their soul.Ulmer observed a man who bought chains and bangles for his girlfriend. He didn’t have any money, so he stood in front of the mirror, and then a small tattoo appeared on his left bicep muscle.“The tattoo will feed on your strength for a fortnight,” the shopkeeper told him. “If you fail to make it disappear by then, it will stay for another fortnight.”That man nodded in agreement.Ulmer stared at the tattoo from a distance, and he felt like the tattoo was staring back at him. “Is that what I think it is?”[Yeah, the tattoo itself is a demon.] Dove opined. [It will feed on t
Ulmer’s job was made easier as there were no humans allowed from eleven to the fifteen levels.People who called themselves Highmans lived there. And they all were humans with modified DNA, which gave them enhanced senses at the least.The stronger ones even had the ability to recover fastly from wounds.They all had one thing common, though. They didn’t just look down on humans but despised them, labeling them as inferior races. Because they didn’t even like the company of humans, there were no humans living on the eleventh to the fifteen floors.Ulmer still explored through these five floors, teleporting to and fro, just to make sure there weren’t any slaves being kept secretly.To his surprise, he didn’t find any slaves or regular humans.“Some said that you can’t meet people with superpowers until you get past the thirtieth level, but that’s clearly not true,” Ulmer thought. “Since the first level itself, some people have possessed superhuman strength.”What Ulmer didn’t find plea
“Brother, I’m telling you the truth, so listen to me,” Kristy said, yelling and pleading simultaneously. “Look at that woman’s hand carefully. She has all her nails looking sharp fine, except the middle fingernail. Do you know why? That’s because she definitely masturbates. That’s what women do. One of my friends does the same! So, your girlfriend isn’t as pure and holy as you think!”“You’re lying!” Ulmer refused to believe his younger sister’s words. “Brianna would never do such a thing! She’s pure as a diamond! You’re just trying to separate us because you’re jealous!”“Huh? Why would I be jealous?”“Because she’s a gem!”A few hours after the siblings had that conversation, on the dark cold night, at around two o’clock, the 23-year-old Ulmer was standing right in front of his girlfriend, feeling more pain than a man with many bullets in his chest would.She was having sex with many men like a vulgar beast in heat.Ulmer was so shocked and disgusted by it that he dropped the bouquet
Ulmer was sitting in front of the graves of his family members. No one else was there with him. He felt all alone.As much as his parents and siblings scolded him, they were still his family. With all of them gone from this world, he now felt truly alone.At this point, Ulmer didn’t care about his life or anything anymore. Like a caged animal awaiting its death, he shut off his heart and even began to breathe very sparingly.At the same time, the gravekeeper was checking out the golden bird chain on Ulmer’s neck. “It’s a pity that this thing doesn’t have any diamonds, but it’s definitely pretty. I’m sure my second wife will love it,” he was telling himself.Just then, the bird locket shone slightly, and the gravekeeper looked like he was possessed by it. He walked over to Ulmer.“I don’t need this to tend to your family members’ graves every day,” he said, puzzling Ulmer.What was this gravekeeper talking about? Did he drink too much? He had clearly wanted something from Ulmer not long
Ulmer was not new to fighting. He used to fight his classmates a lot back in school and college days.In fact, Ulmer and Kale also fought each other multiple times in the past, and Ulmer had the edge against Kale most of the time, but right now, Kale caught both of Ulmer’s fists effortlessly.“You just came out of the station,” Kale snorted, “but you are so eager to go back into custody again.”“Shut up!” Ulmer tried to pull his hands out, but to his shock, he couldn’t do that. Kale’s strength was much higher than expected. Kale was still sitting, but he was able to bend Ulmer’s arms against his will. “Ugh…”“You shouldn’t have come home, Ulmer. Now you’re forcing me to kill not just your family but also you,” Kale uttered.Ulmer’s heart ached after hearing Kale’s words. His blood rushed with extreme anger that peaked all of a sudden. “K~A~L~E!”The bird locket on Ulmer’s heart shone and resonated with his feelings.“Hahaha!” Kale wickedly laughed. “All you can do is shout. You can’t k
Ulmer’s grandmother, Mollie, was the mother of Ulmer’s dad. She was the one who raised Ulmer when he was a child.Ulmer had diarrhea issues until he was four years old, so his mother never really took him close and put him in her lap. And it was Ulmer’s grandmother who tended to him and showered love on him unconditionally.From her perspective, Ulmer was her first grandson, so she adored him a lot.But because Mollie told her son about the affairs his wife was having with other men, Ulmer’s mom never liked Mollie and always made her life difficult. Over the years, she manipulated her husband to send Mollie out of the house.Mollie was now living with her second son who was a decent man, but his wife was much worse than Ulmer’s mom. She always verbally tortured Mollie, but because Mollie couldn’t go back to Ulmer’s mom, she could only swallow the shame and stay at this house.It had been three months since Ulmer last saw Mollie.After visiting the graves of his parents and siblings aga
