[Jaws Forrest]

In the centre of said forest surrounded by trees was in itself a larger tree, but this one had a pitch-black opening in front this was the dungeon of the forest, the Tre-Ent Dungeon outside were a gathering of player forming groups to tackle the dungeon, and inside a group of five were hard at work fighting wooden wolves.

Pak! -77

Re-bunny dashed and stabbed one of the wolves in the side with her knife and kicked it away.

Her friend black swan was also fighting against a wolf of her own and in-between as Arnold the green dragonkin holding an Iron shield facing three on his own.

"Satya!" he shouted to the elf behind him.

"I know!" she waved her staff and a green light surrounded him. He shouted to the wolves a red aura forced itself on them drawing them to him, and he swung with his sword slashing all three.

-76! -76! -87!

Eventually, after their hard thought battle, all the wood wolves died.

Finally, Satya in the back collapsed and said, "I can't take this we need another member we can't take these guys, we need an Elementalist one who chose fire," he huffed drinking a stamina potion.

Re-bunny placed her dual dagger on her waist nodding, "two assassins and a knight won't be enough we've already scouted enough of this place we should leave and come back."

It was then Black swan wanted to suggest bringing in a certain pink flamingo but shook her head she already saw the outcome but in her mind, she couldn't help but think, 'How is he going to solo five floors?'

...

"It's time to dive!" Apex grinned while heading to the forest the world will know his name once more.

"Hehe man, I'm so excited!" but his smile dropped when arriving at the dungeon there were many players outside sitting around in groups. Arriving at the base of the large tree he saw a group of players standing guard.

"What the?"

His way was blocked by a wolf beast-man knight blocking the entrance.

"This dungeon has been reserved for the mighty lion guild to clear first so leave. If you want to come in then you have to pay 1 gold."

The player spoke glaring at him, stunned Apex turned around seeing other players and groups standing around he remembered this moment and along with this memory came a wave of pure unadulterated hatred.

'Mother fuckers!' He glared back at the player in front of him a member of the lion guild one of the decisions he made that sent his life spiralling down.

He clenched his fists wanting to fight them, he could, he knew it in his bones since it was the beginning of the game but, "Breath...ha alright I'll pay," he let his anger go he was back in the past these people hadn't wronged him yet.

Although they're doing the same to many others, he knew eventually karma would get them back, it was only a matter of time. So being the better person he let go of his pent-up rage and decided to be calm.

Just as he said that another guard jumped in surprise seeing Apex, he whispered something into his ears making the man grin.

"The pay has chanced I didn't recognize you Apex, for that achievement, I don't think 1000 gold is too much for you is it?"

"..." he stood quiet his breathing grew more rapid until one final exhale, and he slumped his shoulders, the scene caused some players to hang around watching wondering what would happen next.

'I tried, I. Tried. To be calm,' but sometimes the world wouldn't allow that he glared at the player his voice ominous, "Move or else I'll make you."

His words were threatening, but there was one issue he was a pink birdman and honestly, he wasn't that threatening. This caused the group to burst out in laughter. Apex was a gentleman letting them have their fun.

"Listen you think you're great and all just because you made those achievements? Don't get cocky bitch," he glared back taking out his sword at Apex's neck.

The nine others behind him also drew their blades.

He didn't flinch because he knew he could dodge, he knew he could beat him, beat them, "Heh it's funny that a guild's dog is calling me a bitch."

Clang!

He drew his spear slashing at the beast-man pushing him back, "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye," that wasn't a threat.

"T-this bastard thinks he can take us one on ten!?" one of his members spoke.

The first guy blared at Apex, "The fame's got to his head get him, boys!"

"Yeah!"

'So slow,' he watched as they all came towards him in a wave, 'five swordsmen, three assassins and one elf archer so he's got a magic skill,'

"" Haah!"" The group of them attacked him he jumped in the air making sure to gain enough distance and switched his spear to an Iron one, "Coward!"

"Look at how the "Apex" fights a coward!" The leader shouted making sure everyone heard.

Apex paid no mind and reeled back through three consecutive spears!

Swish, swish, swish, Thunk!

It landed in the centre of them all they all grew confused at his action saying he missed but then.

Boom, boom Boom! -405!

All of them exploded in flames scattering around, ""Aaagh!""

[You have slain player @lphaxen & Player Rerun!] [+400 Exp!]

Apex landed back down and dashed to the nearest bleeding swordsman, Those spears were attached to an exploding potion so when it struck the glass would shatter and burn whoever was closest he switched his crude spear and slashed at all his weak spots!

-78! -153! -84!

[You have slain player Larion!] [+200 Exp!]

"What!?" The leader shocked and enraged was dashing to jump in! "Woooah!" the crowd watching screamed.

The next swordsman was in a miserable state like the other bleeding and skin charred black, he was suffering greatly, the developers did a great job, "p-please!"

Shunk!, Hunk, Thunk! [+200 Exp!]

In the last part, he stabbed the guy in the balls an instant critical and death. He felt something behind instantly he moved to black the attack.

Clang!

'Pretty weak,' he turned back blocking the leader's strike, "bastard!" He roared like the lion he was and charged at Apex who easily blocked and parried every hit.

'So slow, this would be more interesting in tier 5,' just as he prepared to attack his instincts kicked in, and he jumped!

Swish!

An arrow flew by where he was, 'right him,' he forgot about the archer the moment he landed back the leader charged the archer kept firing, behind him 'I can do this easy.'

Clang! Clang, Swish!

This went on as he exchanged with The leader while avoiding the archer's arrows at times parring it. And at times would attack the injured players on the ground, he knew went to attack him, so they can recover, but Apex already planned around that.

"RAAAH!" [-20 Energy]

A thunderous shout brought all the lying players to a halt and the leader in front of him to his knees, 'Hah!' slashed his eyes a blood curling scream ruptured in everyone's ears.

-73!

He grabbed the man as his vision was returning and threw him to the ground he was bout to make an example of the leader, He brought out another Iron spear splooged it with slime essence and stabbed it in the man's ass.

"YAAAAAAAAH!"

Apex winced seeing him jolt up but fail as the spear hit the ground shaking it, this was a gruesome sight so he threw an explosion potion and watched the leader explode.

Boom! [+200 Exp]

All the players who saw this were at a loss for words 'this isn't how you play a game!'

"Five down," he turned to the four limping bodies they were close to the explosion but survived although one couldn't possibly be normal to move when in an explosion they have frozen with shock the pain, the sensation of death.

The developers weren't kidding when they said to treat this as another world even torture was effective here. Although once disconnected those feelings will disappear like a nightmare still vivid in the mind.

He walked to the four and effortlessly killed them.

[+800 Exp]

He glanced at the archer as if begging him to make a move, having a brain the player turned tail and ran. As soon as he did that. A golden glow coated Apex.

[Tier: 0 Level 18 Exp: 1385/1800] Coins: 448 gold 700 silver 15 bronze.

He levelled up again, and there was no murderer or player killer mark as that sort of safety doesn't exist in the game how can you tell a killer in real-life from an ordinary person you couldn't.

Apex clasped his hands feeling, 'nice,' he smiled and gathered everything they dropped

Everyone has one death, of course, you can revive but if not in time then death is permanent and you have to restart all over.

Which meant those nine people he killed wouldn't and couldn't bother him again.

'These guys done have anything useful, I'll just leave these drops here.'

Ignoring the gazes of the others towards him aware that his pink feathers were dyed red in blood.

'It's time to take the first clear of this place,' he walked into the dungeon his beak curved as another thought came to mind, 'maybe I should destroy the Lion guild the moment they build themselves... I'd be doing a lot of good for the future people and the guide I sold would be of great use to them, so they won't have to suffer, and I could sell the guild for a shitload of money.'

Just as he disappeared inside-outside appeared the Re-bunny and her team.

She walked forwards talking to the three behind her, "alright let's gather all the information we have and-" she stopped seeing the bloody scene in front of her.

"What the fuck!?"- Re-bunny.

"Holy shit!"-Satya the elf healer.

"The fuck!?"- Blackswan.

"Hey this looks like my screen saver."- Arnold
