'Don't… Don't mention my father so casually,' Jenny muttered internally, enduring the humiliation that Heather forced upon her. The latter had attempted to resist, but it was entirely futile. Heather was too powerful, and her abilities originated from the unknown. It wasn't entirely based on mana or physical capabilities, which Jenny found peculiar. Where did Heather's energy or abilities originate from if not her physical prowess or mana? It seemed like a natural ability. But that wasn't…-

If they didn't… They were not human. As Arthur thought those words, a smile began blossoming on Oscar's face. His eyes were still fearful, but his body reacted vastly differently to what the former conveyed. Soon, his eyes unfocused. His facial skin peeled, forming scars that eventually weaved into a pattern. Two lines emerged from below and above Oscar's ears, curving downwards before colliding near his nose. Blood emerged from the torn skin. Oscar stood still, maintaining a faint smile on…

"On the outskirts of the world…" Jenny muttered, approaching Heather while scrunching her eyebrows in confusion. "It's truly a peculiar place to be during a trial in which reaching the center is the objective." The silver wall was visible, and Heather caressed it endlessly. As she heard Jenny's words, she slowly turned around before unveiling her face. Her eyes were dull, while her eyelids were blackening. "Yes, truly peculiar," replied Heather, letting out a giggle. "But it's also quite peculiar…

Slide! Crack! A couple of pebbles slid down the cliff, colliding with the ground beneath. The cliff was at least a few hundred meters above ground. As they neared Level 2, the natural landmarks rose in quantity. Now, there were several hills and valleys in sight. 'How did it end up like this?' Dino thought, utterly terrified. Neon's demeanor was still casual, as if attacking strangers out of the blue was a natural occurrence. He stared into Dino's eyes, deadpan. From observing the shyness of…

"What the fuck was the point of choosing teams if they were going to split us apart, anyway?" Dino grumbled as he traversed through the desolate world in search of gemstones and his teammates. It was truly suspicious how the Tower Administration had separated them. 'There has to be some hidden meaning behind this,' thought Dino, furrowing his brows as he simply walked and walked. He had no destination. He simply walked aimlessly, hoping to discover a gemstone. He had already found one, which was…

After a few minutes of watching, the time was ripe to strike. Arthur unsheathed Skofnung. The sword produced a faint sound, but it went unnoticed by the two combatants. They were too invested in their intense battle, which would soon have a tragic end. "The gemstone is mine," the caramel-eyed man shouted, rushing forward as blood spilled from his wounds. The cyan-haired man cracked a smile through his broken teeth, unleashing a wave of mana that rushed towards his opponent. It was rapid. Slice!…

Arthur gazed expressionlessly at the translucent, blue window that manifested before his eyes. His expression was dull, but internally, he commented on how subtle the Tower Administration was being. He glanced at the other newbies before cracking a smile. 1000 gemstones, 100 possible players, 25 slots. That was the crux of the game. * Once everyone had stepped into the portal, each newbie was spread out across the desolate world in which the game was being held. The sky was ashen, and the…

Jenny gazed expressionlessly at the corpse of the ogre that sat before her feet. His entire body was dyed in blood, a mixture of her own and that of her enemy's. Her face was stained with the viscous liquid. She stared at the dark sky, devoid of any illumination. Yet, her vision was intact, symbolizing the presence of some form of light. She let out a sigh, sheathing her sword as it produced a faint sound. The sound of metal colliding with another object. Klang! As she read the system message,…

Skofnung shook slightly, as if transmitting its excitement to Arthur. It was as if its jaws opened wide, expecting a delightful meal in exchange for its power. Although, the power did belong to its wielder. 'Ungrateful sword,' Arthur spoke internally, involuntarily allowing a chuckle to escape his lips. The sword seemed to possess a smidge of intelligence, but only reacted when triggered or provoked. Or, when it voraciously begged for a meal. A meal consisting of the organs and tender skin of an…

"Why do I have to go, father?" A silhouette encompassed by darkness complained, as if throwing a tantrum. His words were akin to that of a child, and although he was only exaggerating, they were still based on his true thoughts. One would never believe that the entity who spoke was Hermes, a Divine Ranker affiliated to Olympus, and the Son of Zeus. "Just send Perseus," Hermes insisted. "He has been slacking off recently, ever since he became an almost peerless High Ranker. He thinks there isn't a sky…
