Highess began to feel overwhelmed, knowing from the start that facing Zegar would be very difficult.Each slash sent shivers down his entire body, however Highess continued to retaliate with his strength, trying to hold on.Ting.....But, there would come a time when it wouldn't last long, after enduring enough attacks, he was startled as Zegar pivoted to add a deadly kick.Highess was thrown back by this event, glaring at Zegar with sharp eyes. Though not entirely surprised by the attack, he was confused by Zegar's seemingly inexhaustible energy."What's happening here? How powerful is this man really?"Since Divine Phantom was used, Zegar's speed and strength had drastically increased. But, he didn't seem tired."Of all the players I've encountered, he's the toughest and most dangerous!" Highess tightened his grip, racing against time. It wouldn't be long before the effects of Sacrifice Buster wore off, and when they did, he wouldn't stand a chance against Zegar.While there was sti
Tings...The Twister Buster is an attack that delivers a double blow, but it's not as easy as that. Right now, Highess facing the opponent is putting up a difficult resistance to withstand. Even now, his strength feels unmatched."I've filled up my energy, but still, this man power is too great, and I can't balance it..."Tings...And, finally, he is thrown back again. His body floats in the air, presented with a beautiful sight."Yes, I understand that facing him is impossible, but still, I want to do it. I can't accept defeat against others..."Thud...His back lands very hard; it's over for Highess for now. He can move freely, but in reality, he could get up and run, but it would be pointless. Zegar's speed is much higher. Surely, he would easily catch Highess and then kill him.Rather than fleeing like a coward, it's better for Highess to fall with the demeanor of a true knight."I am ready to accept my defeat, and at this moment, my struggle as a player will end..." He can smile
Grey put on a smile as he observed Highess's reaction in this situation."Indeed, I couldn't possibly let players like you win the competition again." He did feel irritated the game's security system had been breached by someone else, resulting in internal damage, but seeing this turn of events, he couldn't help but feel pleased."How could you, why are you doing this, Miyoko..." Highess uttered softly as his health points continued to decrease."Forgive me, but I won't waste this golden opportunity! I've witnessed directly how you fought against Zegar, and I understand that both of you are impossible to defeat! But I still have a chance, and this is the most appropriate way to defeat you..."Highess's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing all this. "Don't you feel ashamed of doing this? You're just destroying the pride of a samurai, I know that samurai insisted on upholding honesty...""I know, I know that! But, here it's not about upholding the dignity of a samurai, but it's about my own d
"Hah... what should I do today?"My name is Highessn Harmberg, a 25-year-old living my own life. It's not a pleasant life. After graduating from school, I decided to move to the city, seeking opportunities to work and succeed.Yes, that's how it should be, but... it has been 8 years since I graduated. And getting a job is very difficult in this advanced world; I don't have many opportunities.Only the money from my parents helps me survive, but they also want me to succeed and support my own life.That morning, on the 20th of the year 2089, nothing special happened. Everything was the same; my life was just that of a bored unemployed person.My stiff legs wandered through the city, not too busy for today. But, it can be sure that in a few hours, people will fill the streets going to work.Some of them have already started getting busy, wearing ties and neat suits for a decent life."It would be nice if I had a life like theirs, but right now, I'm just..."I can only feel frustrated. I
My mind is still not calm. Indeed, I have decided to try this popular game, but I am still unsure whether participating in the competition will bring me any benefit.So far, I have never won any competition, and now I have to do it for an unclear goal.With my hands trembling greatly, I check the balance in my bank account through my phone. Quickly, my eyebrows furrow as I see that my account balance is only $30, and that's also for my food and drink for the next few days."Next month, I'll surely die of starvation with this balance! And, I don't have many chances left!"I take a long time to decide whether to play this game or not. Besides, the price of this game is quite expensive for an unemployed person like me. It's only $20, but it will wipe out the little money I have left for food for some time."Ugh... why do I have to go through this," I shout in this silent room."If you don't have money and can't survive in the city, don't come back here! You're just a child who brings no
"What is this..."Highess shouted loudly, but he tried to understand the situation. He saw the roots moving from left to right, and the movements were clearly visible."I understand, maybe it's due to the insect species I chose that I can see the movements of these roots..."Quickly, he prepared to jump to avoid it; at this speed, it should be easy to evade. It just required the right timing.Rub!However, he realized that his character's speed was also limited. His legs were entangled in the roots, making it difficult to move freely."Damn, don't tell me my character's stats are terrible!"He was dragged by these roots, and trying to free himself was very difficult. His face could now see which plant dared to do this. It was a rafflesia flower with fang-like teeth, open as if ready to devour him."Don't tell me this will be a common occurrence in the wild, carnivorous plants devouring insects alive..."Highess struggled to break free, but it was still too difficult; his hands were bo
It won't be long before he reaches Turnera; the journey takes about 20 minutes.During this journey, he doesn't just stay silent; he encounters many monsters and collects items. Of course, he understands that each area has monsters that may be challenging to defeat. With a level still at 12, he is considered low. He needs to reach at least level 50 to be considered an expert player."Isn't this game played by more than 2 million people worldwide? Why can't I find a single player, or maybe the server where I play this game doesn't have many players?"It's an advantage, but also a disadvantage. A game with such a powerful mechanism feels deserted without many players. Fortunately, it's an MMORPG type, so it doesn't heavily rely on the presence of other players for gameplay."Hmm?"Without realizing it, he has entered a vast field covered with yellow flowers."Don't tell me these flower plants are predators deliberately luring other creatures closer!"Not wanting to fall into a trap agai
Utilizing the Quick Timing skill propelled Highess to jump at a height of 6 meters. Intentionally, he used the speed of this movement to take advantage of the perfect moment.The mantis became confused as its target disappeared, but it didn't take long. Its instinct told it the current location of the sought-after target was above its head.With a movement like this, it was impossible to evade, and that's what needed to happen."Strike Buster...."Twings...A slash cut through the air, reaching the monster's body. Slowly, the mantis's body split apart, and green fluid oozed from the severed parts.Even though it was just a game, the realistic effects were too nauseating. In the real world, Highess might have vomited repeatedly."Huh... I didn't expect to encounter one of the area bosses here!"Glancing around, he understood that tragedies like the appearance of other monsters frequently occurred in situations like this. He sincerely hoped that he wouldn't face a bad scenario.He could
