'Fucking Cardio!'Rhys could feel heat burning within his lungs as he ran with all his might. His Ki circulated like crazy within him, burning up, and replenishing at the same time, becoming thicker with each revolution.However, Rhys paid attention to none of these things. Right now, he had only one goal. And that was to escape from his very angry-looking pursuants.***Lythoran Wyrm: Level 30 (Normal).Strength: 1000.Agility: 1000.Defense: 500.Magic: 0.HP: 10,000/10,000.MP: 0.Skills: Booster Run, Ki Enhanced Claws.***'They don't have a lick of mana, yet they are more deadly than anything I've ever faced. And they are just level 30 normal grades. This is hell...'To Rhys, the scariest part, was their level. Ordinary level 30 creatures should possess stats in the tens. For these level 30 creatures to have stats in the thousands was nothing short of abnormal.'System, What the hell are these?!'{Replying to Host: These creatures are called Lythoran Wyrms. They are a lower sub-d

Within the shade of a few rocks, an odd dark shadow filtered through...To the side of the rocks, a group of three {Lythoran Wyrms} stood, scanning the surrounding rocks with keen eyes. Their snouts were raised towards the skies, then back to the dirt as though they were searching hard for a very delicious prey that had somehow slipped out of their net.'These guys don't quit, do they...' Rhys could only let out a sigh of exasperation as he clutched onto his sides that were still bleeding profusely. Applying pressure to the wound, his mind drifted down memory lane as he recalled the incident that had driven him into hiding within the rocks of this mountain range without having the guts to retaliate against the {Lythoran Wyrms} that pursued him.Just as he was about to enter the mountains, he was attacked by a slightly bigger {Lythoran Wyrm}. In his bid to escape, he had just attacked the creature casually. And that had cost him dearly...Applying more pressure on his wound, he moved d

A painful sensation ran through his body, jolting him awake.The pain ran through his body like poison, reaching his bones and nerves, causing him to yell out in pain. His eyelids snapped open to reveal bloodshot eyes that had undergone a bit of a change. His previously black eyes now had a slight hint of purple within them. They were also darker than before and appeared to contain something that couldn't be well detected.Something dark...Breathing heavily, Rhys turned around to observe his environment. His mind was completely blank, but his body instinctively scanned his surroundings to make sure there were no threats around.A dimly lit one came with a few coarse stone furniture and a very sophisticated-looking painting hanging on one of the walls. It was odd to see something so brilliant in a cave with stone furniture.'Where am I?' Rhys thought to himself. He slowly began to recall the series of unfortunate incidents that had led him to the state he was currently in before he ha

"Please! Please, Spare my Life!""I have children, a sick wife, a dying grandma, and a dog with only three legs at home! If you kill me, they are all doomed to die of starvation!" Tears streamed down Calio's face as he led through his teeth."Kill you? Don't be silly! Hahaha!" Ricky burst out laughing once he heard Calio's words."I wasn't going to kill you. Sure, you would have lost a limb, but that's all good, right?" Ricky said with a smile.'Damn it! Not only is he a demon, but he is also a freaking mental patient?! I've had it with these crazy people!' Calio thought to himself upon hearing Ricky 's words."You don't plan on killing me?" Calio said, wiping the tears and snot from his face."Hmm... Depends on how useful we find you to be. Now come with me..." Ricky said, reaching for Calio's collar.A sly look flashed in Calio's eyes suddenly..."Mana Strings!"Like magic, Ricky watched as Calio slipped out of his grip like he was dragged away by an invincible hand."Eh?!" Ricky st

Rhys stared at the creature before him with eyes filled with waryness. However, just a moment later, his expression and posture relaxed."If you are welcoming me, then that means you don't want to kill me?" Rhys asked curiously. Although he was shocked and a bit frightened by the creature's weird countenance, he decided to hide it as best as he could."Kill you? Why would I want to do that? Save you then kill you? I'm not so wasteful of resources..." Azazel said with a roll of his eyes.His eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at Rhys ..."Quite the contrary, I want you to live for a long, long time..."Starting at the creature before him, Rhys could feel all his danger senses going off all at once.All his energy sources had been completely blocked off, so he wasn't able to activate his skills. However, what he sensed was instinctual.It was the same sort of feeling a small rabbit would feel when a wolf stared at it down. Rhys could feel that he was trapped in a corner with this wol
