James walked into Zach's apartment without being invited, carrying two large suitcases. Ignoring Zach's question as well as his disappointed expression.

Zach just took a deep breath. He remembered his father's lack of concern since Kinanti's death. More specifically, the fake death of his mother.

Zach wondered if James was aware that Kinanti was still alive. Should he ask James? Could it be that James knew but didn't want to tell him?

He couldn't ask that right now. They weren't close enough to talk. In fact, James had previously expressed refusal to respond to Zach's question.

However, Lua, who had been watching their interaction, recognized and saw the sadness on James' face when he turned away from Zach. As James faced Zach, his face became expressionless.

"Aren't your parents looking for you? They'd be furious if they found out you shared a house with a man," James warned Lua.

"My parents are no longer alive. Only Daddy Zach... I mean, he's the only friend I've ever had. Zach has

    At Ben's apartment...The parents are currently seated in the living room. James was explaining what was going on.Harris's parents, who had known James as a rival for a long time, were no longer haughty. Harris had informed them that James was attempting to rescue them.Furthermore, the hologram shield in that apartment building turns out to be James' creation. James began to explain his work while abroad.Meanwhile, Zach's friends had gathered in Ben's room. They turn on the TV to hear the news, but no one watches it. They are more preoccupied with their thoughts."How could Zach possibly defeat those monsters on his own?" Harris murmured pensively."I know he's been getting stronger recently. But to take down such a large monster alone... it's like I'm dreaming," he continued."There are monsters like in the movies, also impossible for me," Ben stated."Lua, you've got to know something, right? To think about it, you appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be Zach's distant relative

    "I-"Zach's call is cut off due to loud noise on the other side. The people in the apartment had completely lost hope.The strong creaking from the front of the building became more intense. The hologram shield is becoming increasingly cracked.The leech monsters mostly went across the street, where victims were still waiting. Those people, however, have yet to step outside of the hologram shield.Furthermore, several car-sized monster beasts were still roaming the area in search of prey. Nobody dared to leave that place."Zach's dad, when we get out of here, where are we going?" Lua inquired."That's right. There is no haven anywhere." James confused. This isn't James' territory. But they continue to rely on him."What should we do?" Harris's mother burst into tears."The military commander should have a safe place to stay. But we have no idea where their base is.""How about right here on our campus?" Harris proposed. Everyone stared at him, realizing how ridiculous his suggestion

    "Don't be rash, Harris! It's not a game. You're going to die if you don't get out of here right now!" Lua yelled."That's right, you two quickly run or hide," Robby said, "Lua, I'll help. The Brave Knight gave me swords and iron armor as a gift.""Okay." Lua fixed her gaze on Ben. "Hide with Harris. Don't watch me change form if you disgust me.""What do you mean? I would never disgust you. You look... cool!" Ben leaned in and kissed Lua on the lips. Then dragging Harris, who was still protesting, into an alley to hide.Lua was stunned. Her face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Ben.Robby pulled Lua's body with a mischievous grin. "Keep your concentration. We'll take care of that giant beast first.""Robby really kept something from me," Harris muttered, disappointed.The giant beast's broad steps closed the gap between them. Robby was dressed in gleaming silver armor. He gripped the hefty-looking sword with both hands.Lua transforms into a wolf in an instant. Then she das

    Zach was again encased in a cocoon. He is stabbed from the outside by spiders. He was unable to avoid and withstand their vicious attacks.The spiders' movement came to a halt. That, along with Zach's consciousness, began to fade.'Sleep, Zach, sleep. It's my job to protect Lua, and she's in danger right now,' said Dark Zach in his head."No! If Lua is in danger, I'll be the one to save her! You don't need to get involved!" Zach was desperately trying to stay sober.'Don't be stubborn! The situation there is critical right now!'"I'll save Lua myself!" yelled Zach.'Do not be a moron! She could die right now. Get to sleep right away, you damned Zach!'Dark Zach pushed Zach's consciousness away. At the same time with Zach, who upgrades his mind control abilities.And then... the cocoon shattered. Zach is shrouded in a cloud of black mist. He gave the startled spiders a devilish grin.The power of darkness heals every wound on Zach's body. He attacked a spider monster as quickly as ligh

    "Zachary Dixon!!!!"Sean and Ray were carried on the back of the enormous phoenix. Fin landed directly next to Zach.Zach's college friends were taken aback by their presence. Where else could they possibly come to touch with a Phoenix?"Whoa, crazy! This is so true! Take a look at the feather!" Fin's golden red feather was stroked by Harris.Fin unexpectedly transforms into a human. Harris quickly withdrew his hand. When he saw the Phoenix in human form, his awe went away."Wait! Oh, he's not Zach!" Sean backed up and pulled out his two swords."Get out, Master Drake!" Ray yelled."No Ray!" yelled Sean.Late! Except for Zach and his college friends, Drake had appeared and everyone had bowed down to the dragon."Whoaaa. Dragon! You're super fantastic!" Harris knelt in front of Drake, arms wide open.Drake, for some reason, was not annoyed with Harris. Instead, he burst out laughing and praised Harris. "You've got a good eye, boy!""Master, please stop my possessed friend," Ray begged.

    "Dark Humans?" Zach asked as if he didn't know."Oh, right, we haven't told the players yet. There is a system in the world of darkness. The dark elevator system to be precise. They also invite humans to do missions there. However, their goal is very different from ours," Silver explained."Oh really?"'So Dark Kay is a player there,' Zach thought."In short, out of their millions of players, only five remain. The five of them are the elevator of darkness's chosen players as well as its top officials.""Then, where are all those millions of players?" Zach is intrigued.Silver dilated his pupils. "Of course, they died. The elevator of darkness purposefully invites humans to be used as food. That is why, as I have said, their mission opens up a different system than ours.""Dead?!!" Zach exclaimed. Zach was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth.A golden light appeared before him a split second later. The golden hologram screen quickly formed a transparent elevator door and then

Their bodies are made of glowing lava rock, and their hair is made of pyroclastic flows.The three two-meter-tall creatures were wearing plant-based armor. It wasn't an ordinary plant because ordinary swords couldn't penetrate it.Their eyes glowed like magma. When it opens its mouth, hot clouds emerge that can melt any object.Although not as terrifying as Petruk's form, the three creatures are extremely powerful. Because King SJ and Queen GM created them."Are you guys ready?" King SJ asked."Ready!

    "Dark Humans have always been arrogant like this." Petruk made a shaky motion with his head.Petruk's body pierced Dark Zach's body in an instant. The dark cloud fragmented into a million pieces. Like black fireworks against a bright sky."Shit! You're dead!" exclaimed Tora.However, the small pieces of the black cloud returned to their original shape. Fatter and fuller."Is that your only skill?" sneered Dark Zach.Dark Zach is not afraid of anything. Because nothing can hold the darkness except another, darker darkness."Ha ha ha... It's just a warm-up!" exclaimed Petruk.Mount Merapi's pyroclastic flows became increasingly visible. Petruk's body is growing in size. Dark Zach's body is outmatched.Dark Zach will not be outdone. He increased the amount of dark clouds to the maximum."Are they competing to see who is bigger? Should I ask Master Drake to come out?" Ray arched his brow."No!" yelled Sean.Too late! When Ray said, 'Master Drake, come out,' the dragon appeared immediately

    "Hiya!!" shouted the white tiger man.A beam of light cut through the darkness an instant later. Dark Zach broke through the white tiger man's defenses. However, the white tiger man man managed to breach Dark Zach's defenses as well."You're great!" exclaimed Dark Zach. He cast a spell, and the darkness vanished in an instant."You're excellent too!" The white tiger man complimented him back.The spectators rubbed their eyes in response to the sudden light. They were taken aback by the sight in the middle of the battle arena.Dark Zach and the white tiger man man were severely injured all over. Their bodies were covered in blood."Your blood color is red. You're not a Dark Human," said the white tiger human male. Because Dark Humans do not produce red blood, but rather black."I thought your blood was white," Dark Zach sneered."Alright. Let's put a stop to this. You have potential, one of us might die if we keep fighting," said the white tiger man."No problem, I'll kill you!"'No!'

    "I can't accept your request," the white tiger man said flatly."I'm putting my life in danger here. I should get the prize I want," Zach argued.The white tiger man sighed. "It's not that I don't want to. But I can't. I'm a mountain guardian. I can just leave here. However, if you want, I can assign my son to be your underling.""Dad, that's a bad idea. I don't like the unpleasant smell of tigers." Lua said quietly to Zach."But they're powerful, Lua. They should be able to support me in saving my mother," Zach said quietly as well.Lua took a step back after hearing Zach's explanation. After all, Zach makes all of the decisions. She will only continue supporting Zach in achieving his goals."In that case, I should've fought your son rather than you."The white tiger man asks, "Why? Are you afraid of me?""Of course... no. Give me something as a reward if I can beat you. Of course, your son as well." Zach grinned.A few moments later, one of Zach's eyes turned black. The white tiger m

    "Jaka.""Ray."Before the fight began, those two musclemen bowed respectfully. They shook hands and took a step back."Start!" The white tiger man exclaimed.They dashed into the center at the same time. They put their hands up to shield their faces.Their movements are almost exactly the same. Ray immediately kicked Jaka in the stomach. With his arms crossed in front of him, Jaka quickly protected his stomach.Ray lowered his head slightly, then jabbed into Jaka's face quickly. Jaka deftly blocked his face with his palm.Ray made a rash first move because he didn't want to wait any longer. However, Jaka was able to deflect Ray's attack.Ray was mostly attacking, while the other guy was defending. Their battle was already fierce because they relied solely on physical strength.The tiger men yelled the names of their competitors. Zach and his group did the same.Ray substituted judo for attacks. Jaka was so used to Ray's fist movements that he didn't notice Ray had tackled his leg.How

    Nothing happened on Earth for a week after Zach received the notification from the world of darkness. Each country is still working to repair damage in various locations. The world of elevators can help to alleviate the human burden.A number of young people, including police officers and soldiers, changed at the red elevator door. Before they could become players, they had to pass a test.Because of Zach's recommendation, Harris and Ben accepted right away. Serena was the one who was testing them at the time.And then the next game starts...Zach, Sean, and Ray were walking to the exam room. And, unexpectedly, Nine opened the door to floor -101 straight away."Are you sure we don't need to take the exam?"Nine gave a faint smile. "The trials here are almost identical to the struggles of the three of you on Earth.""Doesn't everyone, then, need exams?" Zach wanted to know."Of course, they must pass tests. You guys were lucky to be on the exam floor during such a commotion," Nine repl

    "You two irritate me!" Zach snapped.Thick black smoke began to emerge from Zach's body, heading to Black's neck and choking him. Silver attempts an attack by launching an arrow, but Zach easily catches the arrow with thick black smoke.Black's body erupted in a hail of sharp black metallic thorns. Zach could not help but take a step back. However, Black does not attack Zach back. He just wants to defend himself.Meanwhile, Silver had already drawn his sword. But Black rushed in to stop him from attacking Zach."How did you get out of purification? And... those eyes of yours..." Black appeared befuddled."Dark, stop!" Zach yelled."Didn't you see they were trying to kill you? No, I mean, kill us. You moron!"Zach was talking to himself in a loud voice. Silver and Black exchanged puzzled looks. This is because Dark Humans rarely reveal the original figure of the body owner."I'm sorry, gentlemen. I'm not sure why you'd want to harm me. B-"Zach was interrupted by Black. "I have no inte

    "Urgh!"Zach's mouth sprayed blood, as did the arrow that pierced his stomach. He was curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach.The arrow had returned to attack him not far up. This time, the arrow was aimed right at his heart.Fortunately, Zach's hand quickly caught the arrow. However, the wound in his stomach weakened him. His grip on the arrow shook violently."S-stop....""I will not stop until you summon your darkness power," Silver said.'See... Now you believe me, don't you? He's after you,' Dark Zach chuckled.'Shut up and go out! I almost died!' Zach screamed in his heart.'No. I'm not going anywhere. I'm sure he'll use my abilities once I appear.' Dark Zach was certain of his words.'However, I could die. You, too, can perish.' Zach pleaded.There was silence... no response.'Dark! Please hurry... I can't take it any longer,' Zach begged.'You can grow stronger if you can get out of this situation, Zach. I'm heading to bed. Don't bother me!' Zach the Dark insisted.Sil

    "Is there anything else?" asked Zach.Silver takes Zach to several locations where Dark Humam can be found. Zach had defeated sixteen Dark Humans using his strength and the diamond sword."Yes," Silver replied curtly.Silver is growing tired of waiting for Dark Zach to appear. Zach refuses to use the power of darkness for some reason. Silver was also unable to directly ask Dark Zach. Because Dark Zach would never appear in front of the official elevators, he thought.'Was it because I'm here that he didn't show up? No... I was far enough away when Zach was fighting the dark humans,' Silver reasoned."Why am I the only one fighting against the dark humans, sir?" Zach wondered."The others are all busy."Zach cocked his head. He was also confused by Silver's change in demeanor. Silver always smiled at first. But he isn't smiling anymore. He just doesn't want to look at Zach.'He has negative thoughts about you,' said Dark Zach.'Impossible. He's well-known in the world of elevators.' Z
