Staring at the vast body of water in front of him, Micheal felt a certain pull he could not understand. For some reason, he felt like the Profanity was watching him from just below the water— like a predator who had set its gaze on prey. That thought had him grinning madly behind the mask he wore.Oh? So, you're also an apex predator. I like that! Soon, we'll see which of us is the better hunter! Micheal pushed down the feeling of excitement for now, returning his focus back to his teammates. He said with a tight exhale, “We'll make a trip to the forest first. And once you guys have gathered enough points, I'd like to come back here to slay the Titled Profanity.”Desiree immediately pursed her lips.“It's out in the middle of the ocean,” She said, “That's its turf. Do you have any gear that can make you survive underwater? For an extended period of time?”Micheal shook his head. “I don't… but I'm hoping Darrion does.” He looked at the man.Darrion was stunned for a moment, before bu

[YOU HAVE KILLED A PROFANITY: WRETCHED SPACE MURDOC!] Micheal exhaled and slumped to the ground after killing the leader of the Murdocs and watching the rest dissipate into nothingness. He groaned loudly, checked his armor and realized it had been damaged in a few spots.“I wonder if Armour can be repaired in this tower? I'll ask Darrion later.”As he looked around at the vast emptiness of the silent dark forest, Micheal was a bit puzzled. He had thought that after killing the leader of those Profanities, he would naturally be transferred back to the original forest. However, he remained in that strange space, completely unsure of how to return. “Well, this is puzzling. The system also mentioned that I killed ‘Wretched Space Murdoc’. That should insinuate that I killed the source of the strange warp.”“I'm still confused as to how it was only me that was pulled in.” The boy's eyes immediately widened. “Or, could it be that my special ability kicked in? Was it Margin of Difference th

Micheal sighed heavily, his mind working overclock to digest the secrets he had just glimpsed. There was still the mystery of how he was suddenly able to understand the strange language, but there were more pressing matters right now.“From the text, I can infer that I am currently in the temple those Dominions created. Damn… doesn't that mean that I shouldn't be here? And also, wouldn't that mean that there could be something terrifying lurking in here?”He ran his hand through his hair, his eyes darting left and right as he surveyed every corner of the first level of the hall. His paranoia made him think strange creatures were looking back at him, and he quickly blinked twice to dispel the illusion.Micheal then glanced at the skeleton which he had pushed off one of the chairs. His eyes instantly widened as he exclaimed in a whisper, “Did I desecrate the resting place of a terribly powerful figure?! Ah, I might've made a grave mistake.”He contemplated carefully placing the pile of

As Micheal rushed towards where he believed was the stone steps that led down, a heavy paw crashed into his side, and he immediately felt the Midnight Hide violently tear in that spot where he'd been struck. Micheal himself was thrown off course, and he crashed into some pile of bones somewhere far away in the chamber.He scrambled to his feet instantly, wincing as he held the place where the unknown creature had attacked him.Damn it! I've lost my sense of direction! Micheal's eyes darted around as panic settled into him. Due to getting struck by the unknown creature, he couldn't be sure of his current position in the chamber. The mist did not look like it was going to clear anytime soon, so Micheal was about to fight blind. Also… what the hell was that speed?? Micheal swallowed and looked around warily— an action that proved vastly inefficient.He heard the growling once more, and instantly went into a defensive position. He tried spreading his senses outwards, but the ebbing mist

Back in the Temple of the Slanted, in the second level. Micheal's body shuddered when he heard the voice that seemed to be able to rend reality apart. His entire being froze, and he found himself unable to properly breathe. Micheal felt as though he was in the presence of a godlike entity, with no way to resist.He wanted to clench his fist, but even that proved impossible. Micheal could only remain on the floor, his thoughts whirring like crazy.The lofty voice spoke again, “You're quite impressive, human. You were able to fight my pet to a stalemate.”Every word the entity uttered slammed into Micheal like a physical force. The boy gritted his teeth, trying hard to remain conscious under the overwhelming pressure assaulting him.The being that spoke stepped forward, coming into the light that filtered in through a very small window.Something told Micheal that he should not dare to look at the mysterious entity. And so, the boy instantly shut his eyes. Although that simple action h
