Chapter 22: Golem

Am I going to die? The world seemed to slow down as Kouki glided through the air. The monster smirked at his downfall. Kouki had nothing left. He still had one sword skill left, but it was impossible to activate it in the air. Kouki knew he had lost, and he would die.

The world stood for the strong. The weak shall perish or be enslaved. That’s what Kouki believed. He wanted to prove he was one of the heroes, a prodigy born to help people. Nevertheless, he w...

Chapter 72: Night Raid

The alarm blared, cutting through the night. Soldiers scrambled to man the fort as chaos erupted.

"All Magical Girls, prepare the tubes. We will extract the essence!" Freya's voice echoed through the intercom. The order left me bewildered, my body halting in confusion.

"What are you talking about? We're supposed to fight! The soldiers should retreat to Agneya. They aren't equipped to handle this level of anathema incursion!" another Magical Girl voiced exactly...

Chapter 36: Three ❤

Elysia found her new life in Quantora village far less stressful than she had anticipated. At first, people often glanced at her skeletal hands and sometimes gave her odd looks, but with a pair of gloves and Hiro's tentacle to help, the problem was easily solved.

The refugees were particularly welcoming toward her, as she contributed significantly to the village's construction efforts. Numerous skeleton laborers rose from the ground at her command, becoming the workforce for Quan...

Chapter 25: New Earth

The demon howled. James had seen many creatures howled before. However, this time, echoes of mana came with it. The wind began to blow so hard that James instinctively shielded himself with his new arm. Something clanked against his metal arm and axe as his leather armor began to rip bit by bit. 

“What the… Was that magic?” James muttered as he saw the damage his armor received. The creature followed his howl with a lunge. Golden light shone from his sword. Jame...

Chapter 24: Last Portal

[installing]

Dark motes of light soon integrate the huge corpse of the komodo to itself. Then, the light swirled around James. His skin transformed. His fur was shed and dark scales covered his skin. 

James had stayed further from humanity.

Nevertheless, James resolved himself for the change. He didn’t want the status quo any longer. He wanted to change and power. He wanted to fit into this world. He rubbed his own body, feeling the itch in some p...

Chapter 23 Boss

“Yes!! I finally got the core!” James made a triumphant dance as he brought the core before the gate. As he placed the core before him, he queried The System.

James knew the System loved to hide things from him. However, it is not a liar. James already inspected 

“So, with this core, i will be immune to poison?” James expected some kind of roundabout answer or the usual ‘information classified until you install’ but it gave out a clear answer ...

Chapter 21 Survivors

[Leather greaves]

[Leather boots]

[ You have a complete set of leather armor]

“Hm? What does a full set do?”

[Equipping a full set of armor will confer additional stats and sometimes skill. For leather armor, you will obtain a +10 to your dexterity.]

The armor was light, like it had become part of James’ body. But that was it. James didn’t feel like he suddenly got a superpower or the like. After checking that he had nothing le...

Chapter 20: Platforming

James decided to ignore Komodo’s nail and fire sack.

Komodo nails were simple nails, not unlike wolf’s claws. James thought of using it. However, he had enough weapons already. Sword on his left arm and axe on his right. No matter how good these claws might seem, they were inferior compared to weapon skills. James might need them if he fought barehanded. But he decided against it. The nails will get in the way of him gripping his weapons.

Komodo’s fire s...

Chapter 19: Lava Golem

“Powershot!” Golden motes of light gathered on the crossbow bolt. Like a lightning strike, the arrow struck true to the golem’s head. James thought it wouldn’t pierce the golem’s head. However, once again, he was shown how powerful weapon skills were. The arrow embedded itself more than two inches deep into its forehead, snapping its head backward.

“What the…” Even when an arrow had already cracked its forehead, the golem was merely pushed back a step. Its ...

Chapter 18 Third Portal

“1000 coins! That’s a lot!” James felt like he had dollar signs on his eyes. Now that he thought about it, usually in video games, after a boss fight, players were usually given rewards. However, James hadn’t received any.

[Would you like to upgrade your skills or weapons?]

“Wait a minute! System! Did I miss any treasure chests in the previous boss rooms?”

[Treasure Chest Locations are classified.]

“It has already passed...

Chapter 17 Sahuagin Priestess

James saw mana swirled on the staff, then it spread and gathered around the priestess, creating multiple icicles that aimed James's life, threatening to make mincemeat out of him. James swiped his sword, using it as a shield. The icicles shattered upon impact. Thanks to his fur, James didn't receive any injuries. 

A yellow glow flashed at the corner of his vision, a sign of a spear skill. James quickly held up his sword, trying to use it as a shield. The world was turned ups...

Chapter 16: Magic Shop

“Hm? What’s a magic shop? Can I buy magic here? How much does it cost?” James asked. The name of the shop seemed obvious. 

James was more than excited to properly use magic. However, from his experience with the goblin shaman’s magic, he felt it was impractical. It took a long time to cast, and it needed his undivided attention, almost bordering on immobilizing him. James hadn’t used his magic so far except for making a campfire.

James was alone in thi...

Chapter 71: Expedition

“Lily, can I have a bit of your time?” Shining Arrow asked as we cruised across the vast ocean. While others chose to enjoy the liberating view of the darklands, a rare reprieve for those accustomed to cramped sanctuary cities like Eden. I decided to follow her into a quieter hallway.

“Sure,” I replied, curious about her tone.

Once we were alone, she began hesitantly. “Lily… I know you purposely switched your registration to be with Newstar…”

My heart ...

Chapter 35: Memory Awaken

Hiro started to caress the cute and little chubby face the lich had. Of course, the lich did not react. She didn't even resist anymore when tentacles caressed her nape. Hiro slithered into her worn, tattered black cloak. After he removed the the cloak, a tattered white dress adorned her perfect unblemished skin..

His tentacles glide across her pale white skin. The lich had stopped resisting as if a doll whose string had been cut. Knowing that she had been cut off from outs...

Chapter 15 Underwater Caves

In the end, James had no choice but to dive underwater. He had explored every nook and cranny of this dungeon on the surface. He might have found out more on the other side of the lake, but his patience grew thin.

“Damn it, no chest or monsters…” James’ mood soured. He camped near the pond where the last treasure chest was located. He had been itching to test his new skill, quick shot. However, he knew that a ranged attack would be ineffective underwater.

Chapter 14 Water Floor

It was a common rule of thumb in gaming: The tougher the monster, the greater the reward. This battle was no exception. Just from this fight alone, James had leveled up again. Moreover, all of his weapon mastery had also leveled up.

James shoved the system notification at the back of his head. He had more important things to do. The blood that had been gushing out from his right arm needed to be stopped. He ran to his leather bag and grabbed the health potion vial in it. He stumb...

Chapter 13: Third Floor

James undressed away from the lake, near the dungeon walls. He was soaked. His fur, drenched in cold water, seemed to sap away at his body heat. He gathered his mana and tried to create a campfire. 

“Hmm… There are two corpses here. I should take the legs and the lungs…” James pondered as he examined the fishmen. The System named them Sahuagin. A fish monster that has humanoid features such as legs and arms.

His chimera skill could only tak...

Chapter 11: Alpha wolf

[you have obtained 150 coins. Your total coins have now reached 175 coins]

[your beginner Sword mastery has reached level 4] 

James had been venturing into this forest for five days. Spider’s thread spun here and there, crisscrossing the path James had taken. All of the spider’s threads converged in one place. The shabby orc’s village. After being here for almost a week, James had figured out the rough terrain of this place.

He had found two t...

Chapter 12: Second Portal

The wolf was cornered. With its hind leg limped, it was forced into melee combat with James. A cackle of electricity roused from deep within. Electricity coursed through its body. James holstered his crossbow and drew his axe. 

“Come here, little puppy, let’s get close and personal.” James taunted. He gripped his axe tightly. The axe began to glow. Motes of orange light swirled around the blade. The glow grew brighter as his skill was nearing its activation.&nbs...

Chapter 10: The forest

An unfamiliar ceiling, an unfamiliar wall, and an unfamiliar bed. James opened his eyes only to find spider’s silk strewn on the ceiling, walls, and doors. He had a comfortable sleep. A dream that was so vivid minutes ago began to blur his memories. When he woke up, he felt alien. Like he was not in his body. Green hand, green skin, and a tusk. Slowly, memories trickled back to his consciousness.

“This is not a dream.” James felt relieved. When he clenched his hand, t...

Chapter 9: Advanced Shop

[ level 10 Reached. Advanced shop unlocked]

“Oh Yeah, you mentioned this shop a while back on the first floor. What does it do” James pondered while biting some meat the orc was having. He didn’t know what kind of meat it was, but he believed it was not poisonous. As long as it was not poisonous, he believed his goblin stomach would handle all the bacteria and germs this meat could possibly have.

[Advanced shops could repair your damaged equipment. At le...

Chapter 8 Monster Village

James swept his gaze from left to right, occasionally stopping to check his back. His helmet was securely placed on his head. The dent from the helmet at the back of his head constantly reminded him how dangerous this place was.

He had checked his new skill, the spinneret. The spinneret on his left hand didn’t shoot out spider’s silk like those in movies. James didn’t know the specific spider’s spinnerets. Only very few spiders actually shot out webs.

James s...

Chapter 7 Portal

“Hehehe.” James giggled. He had won. His body was sore all over. The pain in his gum flared intermittently, but he had won. His hands trembled from exhaustion. However, he had won, he had proven himself. And now, he had a boss monster’s body part for the loot. However, his eyes snapped at the portal that spawned.

“System. What’s that portal?”

[Congratulations. You have finished the first floor of trial dungeon 1204. Please step into the portal to advance ...

Chapter 6 Boss Room

James came out from the dead end and chose the one that was next to it. Sadly, it was empty. He looked at the next room, it was another winding pathway. Corridors just like the one he entered the first time he reached here. However, he was excited. He opened the room one by one, hoping for there to be another treasure chest.

As James continued, his steps were light as a feather. The fact that he had grown stronger made her smile. If his face was still a human, he would...

Chapter 5 Beetle Key

The beetle rustled when a creature entered its chamber. It was cozying and nesting, preparing to attract its mate that will never come. However, the weird creature disturbed its sleep. The creature was bizarre, as if several other creatures were sewn into it. It has the legs and arms of a goblin, yet it has the mouth of a wolf. 

The creature brandished its axe. It ran at a dizzying speed and slammed its axe towards the beetle. Only for the axe to be repelled like ...

Chapter 4 Damaged

James' mind cleared. While his wrath for the goblin soldiers grew, he found himself getting calmer as he assessed the situation. This hall had 8 doors in the upper floor and 20 jail cells in the lower. James had to climb those stairs to get to those doors. The goblin soldiers were not like their stupid counterparts, they were wary. Instead of blindly attacking James like those knives wielding ones, they took a stance. One of them shouted something and a goblin with a wolf came charging...

Chapter 3: Shop

There was no firewood, however, with his new mana core, plundered from the goblin shaman, James could make a decent stove. He then cooked the snake he captured. James was no cook, he didn't know whether he had cooked the snake correctly, a dead cook would probably rise from their grave and scold James if they saw how James cooked the snake.

Nevertheless, hunger was the best spice for any food for it felt delectable in his new wolf mouth. The dungeons were definitely ch...

Chapter 2: James

“James, your performance has been below expectation this month and thus, we chose to end our partnership with you. We will not prolong our contract. This has been a heavy decision for us. However, we need to prioritize our company’s future. Starting tomorrow, you no longer need to come to work.” His boss, whose name James didn’t bother to remember, said to him,  While his words were polite, the fact that his eyes went to the papers in his hands speaks a lot about his since...

Chapter 1: Trial Dungeon 

“AARGH!!!” James screamed as he bashed a goblin’s head with an axe. He let his rage do the talking. He was now in a dog-eat-dog world. Survival was his number one goal, There was nothing more dangerous than a man who had nothing to lose. 

After the terrible day he’d had today before the transfer, he realized that mutualistic relationships were only a pipe dream. And thus, James went axe-crazy on these deplorable humanoids to vent his frustration. It wasn�...
