The city of Metro was a sight to behold at night. The towering skyscrapers illuminated the skyline with colorful lights that seemed to dance against the dark sky. The bustling city streets were alive with the sounds of people and traffic, but in the midst of it all, there was a block of apartments that stood out. All the lights were out in the building, except for one particular apartment on the fifth floor. The light from the room spilled out onto the balcony, casting a warm glow on the surrounding area.Inside the apartment, the scene was less enchanting. The room was a mess, with clothes strewn about and dishes piled high in the sink. Soggy noodles sat in cups on the counter, forgotten and abandoned. In the midst of all this chaos sat Arthur, a mid-thirty-year-old man playing a video game. The game was called "Chronicles of Eternity," a new fantasy game that was currently the most trendy game in the world.Arthur wore a hoodie, slurped noodles, and had cans of soda scattere
Arthur quickly tried to cover himself with his hands, his cheeks burning with embarrassment. "I'm so sorry," he stammered, looking around frantically for something to cover himself with. "I must have...lost my clothes." The trio exchanged glances, trying to hide their amusement at the situation. Finally, the girl spoke up. "Don't worry," she said with a small smile. "We won't tell anyone. But maybe you should come with us. We can help you find something to wear." They handed him a robe which he accepted and wore to cover his nakedness. "Thank you," Arthur said, relieved and grateful for their kindness. "Please, allow me to introduce ourselves. We call ourselves the 'Wild Hunters'," he said. "I'm Thomas." He extended his hand for a handshake. Arthur hesitated then shook his hand, "I am Arthur. You guys are adventurers, right?" Thomas nodded with pride. "That's right. We are a tight-knit team who had been adventuring together for several months now." Thomas was in his mid-t
Arthur sat there in silence for a few moments, trying to process the information. A system was something that only existed in the stories he had read in books. The godleveling system was a mythical system that was said to grant its possessor god-like powers.Arthur couldn't believe that he had somehow acquired such a system. "I wondered what kind of abilities it would grant me and what kind of challenges I would face in order to unlock its full potential."Suddenly another screen appeared, revealing more information:[god-Leveling System elements:Experience point (XP): 2Artifacts: 0Followers: 0Skill tree: 7Domain: 0Worshippers: 0Destiny: 0Knowledge: 20Divine favour: 0%Divine trails: 0%Rival gods: 0Ascension: 0Elemental mastery: 1"Amazing," Arthur said, his jaws dropping as he scrolled through the list. "If I can level up fast enough, I can achieve godhood in no time."A new screen appeared:[Quest: Accept Quest? ]As Arthur sat there lo
The two Crimsonscale dragons charged towards Arthur, their eyes fixated at him. Their sharp talons scraped against the ground as they readied themselves to strike. Arthur's heart raced in his chest as he braced for impact. But in that moment, he moved swiftly like a snake, his speed so sudden that it caught the dragons off guard.Without hesitation, Arthur moved swiftly like a snake, dodging the dragon's fire breath with incredible speed. With a quick leap, he jumped onto the back of one of the dragons and raised his sword high above his head to strike. "Venomous strike!" Arthur yelled as his system appeared with the activation command. [Venomous strike]As he chanted the skill, his sword blade began to change colour, oozing off a black mist.With deadly precision, Arthur struck the dragon down its throat, piercing it with his sword. A black cloud of smoke engulfed the dragon as it inhaled the poison oozing out of Arthur's body. The dragon crashed to the ground, dead
Lily was on her knees, her head lowered as she pleaded with Arthur. "Please don't send me away," she implored him.Arthur raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What the heck, Lily," he said, "why are you here?"Lily explained that she had concealed her presence with magic, which was why he couldn't sense her. She went on to tell him about her own quest, to find the strongest man she could and serve him, hoping to grow stronger with her magic.This girl, Arthur thought, is she some kind of lunatic that stalks men with an agenda like that?Arthur rubbed the back of his head. "Is that so? Well... I don't see myself being that strong," he told her.Lily disagreed. "You're wrong," she said, closing the distance and standing before him. "To me, you're powerful. Crimsonscale dragons are extremely powerful. It'd take a hundred skilled men to take down one Crimsonscale dragon, but you took down three all on your own."Arthur was suddenly uncomfortable. She was too close to his face. "Whoa. Sounds
Summoning his dragonfire breathing skill, Arthur stretched out his hand and unleashed a torrent of scorching flames towards the trolls, engulfing them in searing heat. The cursed creatures howled in pain, their cursed forms unable to withstand the intense fire. One by one, they succumbed to the flames, their twisted bodies reduced to ashes.As the fire died down, Arthur charged at the trolls, then he unleashed poison mist, an insidious cloud of toxic fumes. The mist enveloped the remaining trolls, their cursed bodies unable to resist its lethal effects. They choked and convulsed, their grotesque forms contorting in agony as the poison seeped into their veins. Their cursed existence was swiftly extinguished.With the trolls dispatched, Arthur tapped into his dragon scales, his skin transforming into an impenetrable armour that shimmered with iridescent hues. Any attempts by the trolls to strike him were futile as their blows glanced off his protective barrier.Drawing upon the po
"Beware boy, for I am a master of arcane arts," Zephyrus warned, grinning widely. "Come at me. I shall humble you!"Arthur went blindly in without thinking. The clash between Arthur and Zephyrus erupted with a symphony of magical energies colliding. Zephyrus unleashed a torrent of devastating attacks upon Arthur, each one brimming with raw power. Zephyrus conjured bolts of lightning that crackled through the air, striking Arthur with electrifying force. The intense shockwaves coursed through Arthur's body, leaving him momentarily stunned. However, fueled by his indomitable spirit, Arthur tapped into his reserves of dragon blood, allowing his wounds to swiftly mend and his vitality to be restored."That was some powerful attack," Arthur noted. "I'd have to watch out for those lightening."Undeterred, Arthur retaliated by channeling his dragonfire breathing skill. Streams of scorching flames erupted from his mouth, engulfing Zephyrus in a blazing inferno. But Zephyrus laughed, "S
Arthur and Lily stepped out of the cave's exit. They found a small stream meandered through a tranquil meadow, its gentle babbling providing a soothing melody to their ears. "It's been a long day," Arthur said, stretching himself. "Let's take a rest here for a while."Lily was glad. She was yet to recover from what she had witnessed today. Never before in her life had she seen any human as strong and powerful as Arthur was. She commended herself for making the decision of serving him. She must live up to his expectations. As they settled by the stream, Arthur felt a mix of exhilaration and awe wash over him. He had claimed the Orb of Power, a relic of immense magical potential. He stared at his hands and couldn't help but marvel at the possibilities that lay before him. With this newfound source of power, he knew he had taken a step closer to achieving godhood.While Lily stretched her back and bent down to the stream to wash her face, Arthur couldn't resist the temptation to c
