Chapter 41: Lord Aldric of Sanctus Keep
Beyond the Decaying Forest and the accursed Corridor of the Damned, where the World of Darkness began, lay the Domain of Light, the first floor of the Dungeon of Azarick.Returning to the Corridor of the Damned, learning more about the Holy Knights and the existence of humans, Clinton learned more about this world.Or more precisely, this dungeon.The Dungeon of Azarick was divided into 2 parts, the world of darkness whose first floor was the Decaying Forest and the world of light where the Holy Knights and the humans came from.Unlike the nightmarish abyss that lurked beneath, the Domain of Light was vast, radiant, and sacred.The skies above were not open, yet they glowed with golden light, as if an eternal dawn had been captured and preserved within the dungeon’s walls.Marble spires and glorious-white stone cities stretched across the horizon, their foundations carved into the floating cliffs and suspended walkways that made up this realm.Rivers of pure mana flowed freely, shimme

Chapter 42: The Monster Domain [1]
Hours after his conversation with Seraphim, Lord Aldric stood alone in a dimly lit chamber deep within Sanctus Keep, a place far from the eyes and ears of the council.Here, beneath the sacred halls of the Domain of Light, where even the divine’s gaze seemed dimmed, two figures stood before him.The first was Vaelin Duskwhisper, a High Elf with an unnerving stillness to his presence. Dressed in sleek black robes adorned with arcane symbols, he exuded the aura of a man who walked the line between science and murder.A research scientist, a scholar of the unnatural, but also a famed assassin.His violet eyes gleamed with clinical curiosity.In normal circumstances, there was no reason why a High Elf would live in these slums, Sanctus Keep, the first floor of the World of Light.High Elves were royalty among Elves, and they normally reside within the posh halls and world of the higher floors with higher quality mana and resources.The reason why Vaelin Duskwhisper was forced to the last f

Chapter 43: The Monster Domain [2]
As Clinton’s bones lay hidden, an unseen presence lurked in the vast shadows of the Monster Domain.Perched atop a twisted, jagged rock formation, a pair of predatory eyes gleamed through the gloom, fixated on the strange skeleton that had just entered its domain.The Watcher in the distance.The watcher did not breath, did not blink; it simply observed, its malicious intent veiled beneath an eerie stillness.It was not human, not even close.Its elongated body slithered across the stone, its many limbs shifting soundlessly, claws gripping the rock like a silent specter of death.Black chitinous plates covered its form, a monstrous blend of insect and shadow, its mandibles clicking softly as if in contemplation.This creature, a Night Reaver, was no ordinary beast.It was an apex predator of the 2nd floor, a nightmare that thrived on hunting intelligent prey rather than mindless monsters.It did not simply kill, it stalked, studied, and learned.This was one of the biggest differences

Chapter 44: The Monster Domain [3]
Rustle! Rustle!There was a gentle movement of the wind, caressing the trees, making an eerie noise that penetrated the chaotic world of the monster domain.Blending in with the ecosystem, Clinton moved cautiously through the twisted landscape of the monster domain, every step bringing him deeper into a world that had never known peace.The terrain was chaotic, a violent clash of nature and corruption.Jagged cliffs jutted from the earth like the exposed bones of a dead god, while rivers of glowing blue liquid pulsed like veins across the land, filling the air with a sickly hum.The ground beneath his feet shifted unpredictably, as if the dungeon itself was alive, reshaping the battlefield at will.Everywhere he turned, monsters prowled.Some massive, some small, but all of them deadly in their own way.Clinton shivered. ‘This place… is far more terrifying than the Decaying Forest!’He already expected it but still, seeing was believing.The first danger came from below.As Clinton wal

Chapter 45: The Monster Domain [4]
Having survived the hostile terrain of the Monster Domain and narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Venom Fang Serpents and the Flesh Renders, Clinton knew that raw strength wouldn’t be enough to survive this floor.The apex predators of the Monster Domain didn’t just overpower their prey, they adapted, evolved, and dominated.They looked down on lesser existences.And if he was to make them acknowledge him as a contender, he needed to use the one advantage this world had given him, his talent as a craftsman.‘Who knew that being interested in those silly craftsmen in Grandma’s village would pay dividends this way?’ He chuckled which only sounded eerie since as a skeleton, he had no vocal cords.Clinton could not help it, he was excited.After being cruelly yanked from his previous life by a hit to the back of his head, waking up in this new cruel reality, he struggled to adapt.He struggled to adapt his new identity as a skeleton.Disdain, rejection, and hate from humans…, it wa

Chapter 46: The Monster Domain [5]
The Monster Domain was a land of predators.Some hunted by instinct.Some hunted by intelligence.But only the apex predators hunted for dominance.And if Clinton wanted to rise in this world, he needed to prove he belonged.And now, the first step in his plan after crafting usable weapons was searching to track down his first prey in the Monster Domain.For hours, he moved silently through the corrupted wilderness, watching, analyzing, and searching. He didn’t just want any opponent, he needed something strong to test his new weapons, but not so powerful that it would instantly crush him.Then, he found it.Near the edge of a glowing abyss, feasting on the corpse of some unfortunate lesser beast stood a fiendish monster.[You have encountered a level 8 Monster: Screecher Fiend][Threat Level: High]The creature was nightmarish; a quadrupedal beast, its skin covered in shadowy, pulsating veins, its elongated head lacking eyes but featuring a massive, exposed jaw lined with interlockin

Chapter 47: The Monster Domain [6]
Remember Vaelin Duskwhisper and Garrick the Red?Vaelin Duskwhisper, the elven assassin and research scientist. And Garrick the Red, the renowned human mercenary, who were secretly hired by Lord Aldric to enter the Monster Domain and track down the intelligent skeleton.Their mission was clear.*Find the skeleton.*Capture it alive if possible.*Kill it and dissect it if necessary.*Uncover its true origin and what makes its unique.While Clinton acclimatized to his new environment in the Monster Domain, even getting his first major kill after crafting new deadly weapons and integrating them into his skeleton body, they were already on his trail, hunting him without his knowledge.The Ancient Gate of the First Floor, the Decaying Forest loomed before them, its massive obsidian doors engraved with divine runes, still faintly flickering with residual power.The battlefield before it was scarred, littered with the remains of the Gate Guardian, Arto; now nothing more than a shattered husk

Chapter 48: The Monster Domain [7]
While ghosts from beyond the corridor drew closer, secretly haunting him, oblivious to all that, Clinton continued with his life in the Monster DomainWith his first true kill behind him and his confidence growing, Clinton knew that his next step wasn’t just hunting; it was survival.The Monser Domain was an endless battlefield.He could not afford to be constantly on the run, exposed and vulnerable.It was just a few days since he arrived at the Monster Domain but Clinton already got enough experiences to know the basics of survival here. Here, even apex predators could be preyed upon when exposed and out in the open.This was why he needed a bastion. A place where he could retreat, recover, and plan when the going gets tough.A place he could call home.Finding a home was not going to be an easy endeavor in this world though.Afterall, he was pretty sure that the best locations were already monopolized by the true apex predators of this domain, locations where he dared not casually

Chapter 49: The Monster Domain [8]
It was just so easy to get used to living as a beast.In Clinton’s case, as a skeleton.With his bastion secured, Clinton moved through the Monster Domain with newfound confidence.He was no longer just a wandering skeleton, struggling to survive.Now, he had a sanctuary, a stronghold, a place to retreat and regroup if things went south. Which meant he could take bigger risks.Clinton decided to go out hunting again.For hours, he tracked his next target, weaving through the crimson wastelands and fossilized battlegrounds that marked the domain of apex predators.He wanted something stronger than the Screecher Fiend, something that could push him to his absolute limits.Afterall, to him, it was not just a battle for survival again. Clinton already adapted to this world, he was willing to integrate with the ecosystem, and this was what pushed him into the hunt for glory.This time, he was hunting for glory.He wanted to challenge another apex predator.And then, he found it.Or rather…

Chapter 50: The Monster Domain [9]
Clinton stood among the rubble, his entire body cracked, shattered, barely holding together.But he was alive.The Behemoth?Buried. Maybe dead. Maybe not. But one thing was certain…It had lost.And Clinton?He had just survived a battle against a terrifying apex predator.He looked around at the damage to his bastion, his supposed safe zone, now torn apart. A slow, dry chuckle escaped him.“Well… guess I need to rebuild”.But as he stared at the ruins, a new thought entered his mind.‘If I could survive that…’‘…What else am I capable of?’…Clinton rested for an hour, and then, he looked at the rubble.He had survived, yes.That alone was a feat no lesser monster could claim in the Monster Domain, but survival wasn’t enough. Not anymore.As he stood amidst the rubble of his bastion, his bones cracked and fractured, his weapons chipped from battle, he knew that this wasn’t over.The Dreadclaw Behemoth still lived.And now, it knew his scent.It knew his tactics.And most worrying of
