Entering the territory of the Dwarves was quite unique; here, Highess was presented with aesthetic buildings. Carved stones, along with added minerals, made it appear like a beautiful location to inhabit.

Some people immediately cast cynical glances, sneering, and harboring suspicion. Their words were even faintly heard by Highess's sensitive hearing.

"Hah... is it because of my insect form that they keep making me look disgusting?" Although he was pleased this form had many fans, still, such a form seemed quite frightening to most people, even NPCs stared at him with suspicion.

"Maybe I should have just chosen to be a Lizardman? Hmm..." Being a Lizardman might have been much better, but his mind refused to show the positives; he looked far more menacing with a form resembling a gecko on the wall.

He was guided into a guest room, but there was a strong smell emanating from it.

"What's this?" In-game sensory perception sometimes had limitations, but in this game, it was possible if the

    "Yeah, I only know a little about information regarding that object! I've seen it before on others I've encountered, so I think it's a Rune symbol commonly used by the Dwarves..."The response was too hasty, and Highess's tone was also somewhat unserious. Full of excuses."Hmm... is that so?" But, Aogava wouldn't dig deeper into this, he immediately continued walking, his gaze becoming colder and less spirited."Is he disappointed because I answered in such a tone?" Highess could have shown the sword with the Rune letters, but if he did, he feared it would cause a commotion, drawing the attention of many Dwarves. His presence alone was enough to make many people stare and sneer.If something even more surprising were to happen, he worried it would make the atmosphere even more chaotic.Their feet carried them towards the ascending streets, the stairs spiraling upwards. Quite strangely, while many Dwarves lived below with so much equipment and a decent living, it already felt deserted

    "Not an ordinary weapon... then what kind of weapon do you want to melt down? Do you think asking for my help will solve this?" Zendref asked with a cold tone, but he also managed to exert strong dominance through his eyes.Aogava nodded in agreement with Highess to produce a weapon, and it was undoubtedly Anubis's magical staff.Just its appearance alone made Zendref's body tremble."W-What is that..." He even jumped from his chair, causing him to lose balance and fall in a very clumsy manner."Hah... is this really the reaction from those who see this weapon? Even though I cannot use it!" Highess was very disappointed that he couldn't directly use the weapon's function, even though he knew the level of its destructive power.Zendref got up and stared at the staff held by Highess. "I-Is what you're holding one of the most powerful weapons ever?""One of the most powerful weapons?" Highess glanced at the ceiling, but the answer was not yet available; he was still puzzled by the strong

    "My time is limited..."The competition is about to begin soon. A week has been quite a long time, and he knows that everything will be worse if he doesn't prepare himself.As much as possible, he tries to acquire great weapons and then create a power that is difficult for many to defeat. It sounds difficult to understand and comprehend, but Highess will still make efforts to make himself better.Following Zendref's instructions, he is led to the Manerva region. All he sees is a vast orange canyon, not a desert, but a barren area filled with soil. But, it's enough to amaze him."Now where should I look for the first stone, the Stadrust Gem? If we take the name reference, such an object usually comes from the sky, fallen moon fragments! Hmmm..."There are only 4 hours left today, and night is approaching soon, the atmosphere will surely become more aggressive if it's not found soon.Time is ticking away until the atmosphere finally turns into a night, here he sees the whole area that w

    As if hypnotized by a mysterious force, but only following the orders of his conscience. However, all turned into a chasm filled with darkness, and looking down sent shivers down his spine. He hoped that no monsters would jump out from within and pounce on him.Highess crouched while surveying the abyss around him, still pondering why he had to be here. It was a strange reason if he was just led here on a whim."What is truly behind this abyss? Could something terrible happen?" he asked seriously.He found no answers, and night had fallen. He would have to set up the Warp Sleep soon and put an end to all this. It sounded absurd, but without further thought, Highess leaped into the abyss.It was reckless and unimaginable, this dark abyss whose depth was unknown, but Highess jumped based solely on personal desire.His body might be crushed if he plunged from such a height, but he had sensitivity to his surroundings. A long rope with a hook at the end was thrown, shooting quickly and cau

    Highess's body was also thrown, his eyes forced to observe the surrounding area. It was enjoyable, but landing with an anticipated pain made him think it was highly unethical."So you intend to injure me from this height?" Highess considered this moment an opportune time to strike. He prepared himself by tightly gripping his sword, and the flow of energy made the Rune letters shine brighter than before. Then, Highess took a deep breath."Impact Buster..."Seeing Highess about to act, the crab then began its deadly attack originating from its right claw.Ting...Two high-level powers immediately clashed fiercely, the pressures meeting each other until they became a massive wave."Hah..." In this intense panorama, Highess did not blink at all, wanting to witness directly the event that caused the crab to meet its demise.Ting...And not long after, the crab's claw suffered a crack. And then, it turned into severe damage and finally separated from its hand."Graagh..." Its sturdy texture

    "I didn't expect to get this gem called Stardust today!" Highess logged out of the game, sitting pondered as he gazed at the floor.At 1 a.m. when everyone was fast asleep, he hoped he could muster the strength to finish this."But, there are two more stones I need to obtain! Aurora and Corona, both sound beautiful, but I don't know their shapes and forms yet! Well, never mind... *yawn*... after all, tomorrow I'll have enough time to search for these stones..."With that, he ended the day with accumulated fatigue, quickly laying down to feel more comfortable.In the coming time, Highess continued his journey. After waking up, he prepared himself, had breakfast, and logged into the designated area.It was only 20 minutes since he woke up from his sleep. In the real world, he was very lazy to perform physical movements, but in the gaming world, he would continue to act like an ideal man maintaining health."Alright then, let's go back to searching for the intended object!"

    "Ugh... this is so troublesome!" muttered Highess, who kept pushing his legs alongside the man next to him. "How could he involve me in this problem, I don't have much time..."Trrsssp...His feet decided to stop rather than continue running in fear."What are you doing? You could get killed by these monsters!" the man yelled with concern.Highess didn't look back, his body only in a ready position. He unsheathed his sword, emitting a threatening aura."Hah... he intends to face these monsters! Don't be foolish, you'll die, they're strong..."Words that didn't diminish Highess's thought, instead, they fueled his determination. He stood tall, staring at the monsters, and then quickly moved towards them."Impact Buster..."The slash hummed with a dark energy gleam, cutting through flawlessly, causing the monsters' balance to be disrupted. They groaned in agony.The chase pattern that was strong enough to occur had stopped, they looked with astonishment at Highess, who was able to perfor

    "Heh... turns out this is quite useful!" Highess did say he needed it, but not to be accompanied, rather he asked for payment for what Coby had done.A few moments ago.Coby then asked with a curious face, "What do you need?"Suddenly Highess stopped speaking while staring seriously at Coby, his eyes scanning from top to bottom, sending shivers down Coby's spine. His way of observing was full of an inexplicable aura."Before that, what were you actually doing here?" Highess asked."I'm currently searching for some minerals here! I've been collecting a lot of stones in every surrounding area...""Show me..." Highess promptly interrupted Coby's explanation, which of course startled him."F-For what?""Just show it to me, I want to make sure of something!"This indirectly made Coby suspicious, as it was common for other players to commit robbery, and they wouldn't hesitate to engage in criminal activities.If Coby had the option to refuse and fight back, he wouldn't stand a chance.

    Because this is what is called a competition that can never be predicted

    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

    There aren't many things we can say, but this is the meaning of the struggle in playing the game

    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

    This time the fight that will be carried out has exceeded normal limits

    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

    It seems that to end this, everything must be at stake

    Zegar's body appeared to be thrown back after receiving an attack from Highess, but here he couldn't afford to be proud; there were still many possibilities.It was clear that Zegar was still able to stand."Seriously, won't he still be able to defeat me? He must have accessories that can withstand damage, and he must still have great strength..."It was time for Zegar to bring out an item; he gulped down the contents of a purple bottle, and Highess's eyes widened at the sight.He vividly remembered that purple in this game was synonymous with poison and abnormal enhancements; in other words, it was the power to boost statistics to a certain extent."Don't tell me he just drank an item of terrifying potency? Seriously, am I not going to survive this?" he asked towards the sky which now looked bright."Be happy, during my time playing this game, I rarely act aggressively like this! I'll make you experience a real fight!" he said firmly, and Highess couldn't take it as mere words.The o

    Two People Trying To Find Calm In This Situation

    "The strength that is too high might indeed burden the mind, and I can understand if you're a tough player!"Highess didn't blink, he kept observing Zegar's behavior, which had felt odd since earlier. Clearly, in a fight like this, such actions shouldn't be taken; excessively praising one's opponent would leave a very bad impression, and it was evident in how Highess's mood changed significantly."If I can't do something, I will lose to him! He also seems very calm facing me, in other words, he no longer cares about various things..."Zegar accelerated his steps, starting with one tap, then instantly delivering towards Highess.Tings...Attacks splattered out in the form of high-energy flows, possibly making the entire body feel pressure.Tings...Highess responded with a wide-eyed glare, managing to throw Zegar off balance, and then getting ready for the incoming attack.Tings...Exuding a high-level force, but there seemed to be no sign of fatigue between them. And, they began the f

    Duel For The Winner

    The monsters, after hearing this, immediately assumed a defensive position. Players stood with blank faces against the monsters."Why are there still active players at this early hour?" He remembered the habit of playing games tends to make everyone forget about time; he could understand if the player was experiencing the same, forgetting everything, including sleep time.And, if he saw one player here, then his brain told him there would be three players present; if not him, then it would be either Miyoko or Zegar. However, from the imposing appearance, wearing black armor, with a cold gaze, he could be none other than Zegar.He didn't expect to meet that player here, but it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to see what that player would do.Crash...Instantly, his eyes widened; the five monsters could be defeated very easily, without much effort."Hmmm... so he truly is a highly skilled player..." Highess muttered, noticing his trembling hand for no clear reason."Relax, I am

    Lack of time to think

    Highess then looked ahead and saw the atmosphere was very quiet. It was strange for him to think tat this early hour, he would encounter any players. This time was meant for relaxation, especially since today was the day the competition would end.He quickly checked the competition statistics and couldn't say anything after seeing that only a few players were present."Why is it like this? Did many players go on a killing spree yesterday because I wasn't active? But if that happened, why didn't the points of other players increase much?"Highess's points still remained at the top, while Zegar and Miyoko were still below him, with Miyoko's points not moving at all, remaining stagnant.He remembered the last time they met, wondering how it would be if they met now. Before, he wanted to be seen as a teacher, whatever kind of teacher that meant, but Miyoko was very serious about it."If she meets me, I'm sure she'll be angry..."Their parting seemed somewhat pointless. Highess easily left

    In Circumstances Like These Time is Very Important

    The situation became increasingly unfavorable until the shinobi began to shiver; he understood that fighting Highess one-on-one wouldn't be advantageous. So, he chose to flee instead."Oi..." Highess quickly pursued the player, unwilling to let a player who had attacked him get away so easily.He quickly attempted to chase the man, but he had to admit that his body speed wasn't good enough to catch up."Darn, if only I could have much higher speed, maybe I could catch him..." Highess grumbled, but it was futile; he still had to accept this as his defeat."Huh... that player's movements are incredibly fast; it seems I don't have many options..." As he said this, he indeed didn't have many options left; he had to let go of this incident.Returning to where the players had been, he noticed the bottles owned by the two players. After transferring, he received only 100, which was completely useless. Even hunting fairies directly would have been much better than this."Meh, I tried my best

    "No, don't do this to us..."Crash...The players who had thought they could survive had experienced a terrible event. Lately, players had been ruthlessly hunted by others, but this had become normal. It was clear they would remain targets."W-Why, why are you doing this?" asked a player who had lost his job before. His eyes begged for mercy, but a sword was already stuck in his body. It wouldn't be long until he lost consciousness."It's simple. Players like you are not needed!" replied the player, disdainfully staring at them.As the next day arrived, Highess decided to log in and see what the situation was."Huh..." He was surprised. Right before his eyes, he saw indications the situation had changed drastically. "Changes are happening so quickly. Weren't there around 100 players before? Why are there only 10 left now? Did many players engage in massacres yesterday?"He wasn't surprised by this. It was evident that all players were becoming increasingly panicked. With only three da
