"We told you not to interfere, didn't we?" a bald man dressed in a black suit asked as he pointed his revolver at a young man in his early twenties. "You always behave as if you're a hero when no one wants that. You always put others first when they don't even care about you."The young man couldn't help but shudder in fear as he staggered backwards but he was already surrounded by three other men. Even if he wanted to escape there was no way he was going to do that."You should have minded your business and not interfere when I was trying to make out with Mirabel, Donald," the bald man's index finger gradually pressed against the trigger of his revolver. "Everyone knows that anyone who tries to mess with me ends up getting killed."Donald became very afraid as his entire body became stiff. He knew the kind of dangerous situation he had gotten himself into and was very terrified. This was because the bald man in front of him was a very wealthy and affluential person. All his enemies w

As Donald fell to the ground he was lucky for the claws of the Steel Sabertooth to have missed his face by a few inches. He could feel the gust of air sweep across his face, causing his black hair to sway. Luckily for him the Steel Sabertooth had taken a big leap, going over him. Or else he would have signed his own death sentence if the creature had managed to press him to the ground.The Steel Sabertooth landed some meters away from Donald who was still lying on the ground before turning around. It then glared at Donald before baring its fangs at him, hot steam streaming out of its nostrils.'Damn...' Donald cursed under his breath before rolling over so that he could face the Steel Sabertooth. He then propped his hands to the ground and pushed himself up.But he was a little too late because the Steel Sabertooth was already upon him. Obviously it couldn't just stand still and watch its prey take action. That would mean letting its food to have more chances of survival.So it moved

Javier continued down the mountain path, making his way through jagged rocks which protruded upwards like monstrous spikes. One misstep and he would be sent tumbling down, splattering himself over one of these rocks which were densely packed.'I wonder how the previous settlers of this place managed to continue living her,' Javier thought within himself. 'For them to move to and fro mountain must be a very herculean task.While descending the mountain he decided to check his player stats once more. Back then he didn't have the chance to check it because everything had been very confusing. Now that his mind had regained clarity this would be the best time to check it.Taking a deep breath he imagined the stat interface displaying before him. Although he had done this before it still felt very strange to him—and he was also doubtful. It was only after the familiar red holographic screen appeared in front of him that he calmed down.[RENEGADE SYSTEM ONLINE...][STATS]>STRENGTH (STR): 3+

And now that he had fully recovered his stamina he was ready to go.'Yes,' he immediately accepted to upgrade the Steel Skin skill. Although it had enhanced his skin, making it as tough as still it was still lagging.For example the Steel Sabertooth had been able to damage his skin with the ferocious assault of its steel claws. This meant that his skin could still be damaged albeit the skill could reduce damage done to him.[UPGRADING STEEL SKIN]×3 STEEL SABERTOOTH QUINTESSENCE CORES HAVE BEEN INFUSED INTO STEEL SKIN>SKILL NAME: STEEL SKIN>SKILL LEVEL: 1>SKILL DESCRIPTION:Reinforces skin with steel-like fibre+15% Damage resistance+10% Piercing resistanceReduces stagger chance from blunt attacksSTATUS: EVOLVINGAt that moment Jav

'Blood of Donald...' Javier continued to cough violently as he shut his eyes tightly, refusing to open them. His hands still moved to cover his ears despite his entire body going limp. Although he was in a precaurious ordeal he still remembered he had to protect his weak points. And even when he felt like coughing out his lungs Javier still didn't let go of his ears or open his eyes. Instead he curled himself into a ball and rolled over so that he was facing down. His will to survive was greater than the agonizing pain he was feeling right now. Blake snickered when he saw this, "Doing that won't help you, Javier." He slowly walked towards Javier, his left han
