Zachary Dixon looked around for glasses on the ground. As a foot stepped hard on the back of his hand, he screamed.

"Take it with your mouth, Z!" Harris yelled.

Harris's best friend, Robby, yanked Zach's pants down to his knees.

"Look! Zachary is showing off his balls!" Robby chuckled.

Zach drew his pants up quickly. His face was as red as a ripe tomato from embarrassment and rage.

Other people were laughing all around him. But Zach, who had lost his glasses, couldn't see how many people were crowding around him.

'Those two people, even though they are big and muscular, are already twenty years old, and they still act like a five-year-old kid,' thought Zach.

Yes, Zach could only mumble inwardly.

How could he say it directly? They would bully him even more if he dared to fight back.

"You guys! Don't go too far!" Ben Lee appeared out of nowhere and placed his hand directly in front of Zach's face. "Come on, Zach, get up."

Zach paused for a moment before taking Ben's hand. "Thank you, Ben."

"Hey, Harris! You should not break Zach's glasses! He'll never be able to buy it again!" Ben exclaimed.

Zach sucked down the insult. Ben seems to want to defend Zach, but he looks down on him.

Zach realizes Ben is only acting nice to him. Because Ben is only interested in receiving praise from others.

Ben's voice was loud enough to draw the attention of those in the parking lot. Zach could hear footsteps leading to his current location in the backyard.

"Zach, here are your glasses. If they bother you again, please call me."

Zach cleaned his glasses with a slightly ripped shirt. After putting on those thick cylindrical glasses, his vision improved.

Ben's back caught Zach's attention first. It's as if Ben is putting up a body to protect Zach from those two bullies.

"You two, apologize to Zach right now!" Ben made the request.

"What for? We're only having fun!"

"Let's go! He's only looking for attention." Harris muttered.

Zach despises Harris a lot. But he agreed to what he said this time.

"Are you okay, Zach?"

When Ben turned around, Zach was surprised to see so many people gathered. He was so humiliated. More and more college students realize he's a pathetic loser.

Lisa is also watching it from the front row! Zach's crush is looking at him with either pity or disgust.

'It's all your fault, Ben! Why do you have to meddle in my affairs?' Zach screamed in his heart.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Zach replied before leaving.

Zach has decided that he wants to completely rid himself of the label of a loser as he begins a new semester at Javara University. He had many friends at first and mingled with the other students. Before Harris and Robby found him.

Zach had no idea Harris and Robby attended the same university. The two of them frequently visit him even though their majors are different.

Just like in high school, the duo always bullied Zach for various ridiculous reasons and sometimes for no apparent reason. If the teachers caught them, they'd just say they were joking with Zach.

Of course, Zach just nodded resignedly. Because he is a loser.

Many of Zach's college friends avoided him after the bullying duo started acting out. Harris and Robby were known as campus thugs, and no one wanted anything to do with them.

Zach became isolated, just like in high school. Lisa is one of them.

Even though Zach felt he had gotten a little closer to Lisa. Zach also frequently assists Lisa with campus assignments. Lisa, on the other hand, refuses to speak with him after discovering his cowardice.

'No, Lisa is not that type of person! If she talks to me, she must be afraid of being bullied by Harris.'

In times of adversity, a hero who defends the weak appears, and his name is Ben Lee. A handsome, wealthy, intelligent young man who is adored by many girls.

And that young man is once again enjoying everyone's admiration.

***

As usual, Zach rushed off to work part-time at a construction site after campus activities ended. He has been doing this work since high school.

Actually, Zach's father, James Dixon, is a wealthy man. But, since Kinanti, Zach's mother, died, James has returned to his country and married a new woman. Leave Zach alone.

James continues to send money once a month. However, the sum is insufficient to cover rent and daily living expenses.

A foot manages to trip Zach up while he is daydreaming about his bad luck.

"Hahaha. Z, you have four eyes, but why can't you see the road?" Robby burst out laughing.

"Bring him here!" Harris yelled.

Zach was dragged into an alley by Robby and three of his friends. Harris had been sitting on an old drum like a king on a throne.

"W-what do you want? Please, not now. I could be late for work." Zach begged on his knees.

"This won't take long, Z. I just want to collect what you owe," Harris explained.

"I've never owed you anything."

Harris jumped from his position. He slapped Zach's face without warning.

Zach's cheekbones ached as if he'd been hit by a hard object. Harris has been boxing every day since high school, which explains this.

"I asked for $500 from you last week. You mentioned you didn't get paid at the time, correct? I know, your wealthy father just sent you monthly pocket money."

'Fuck! 'I just said I didn't have any money, why am I in debt now?'

"But, I don't have any money right now."

James only gave him $1,500 in pocket money. And Zach already spends $500 to cover the monthly room rent. How could he give the rest of his money to them?

"Don't lie! Do you want to get it yourself or can I help you get it?" Harris threatened.

"I really don't have any money, Ris."

Harris ignored Zach's words. He quickly took Zach's backpack.

Zach couldn't stand still any longer and grabbed his bag strap. However, Robby and his friends immediately pulled Zach back.

Harris is free to muck around with the bag's contents. He opened Zach's wallet and took $1,000 right away.

"What exactly is it?" Zach was slapped in the face by Harris.

"Those are for..."

Robby and his friends punched and kicked Zach before he could finish his sentence. Zach huddled on the filthy asphalt, shielding his head and frontal organs. However, the kicks were excruciatingly painful in other limbs.

"You dare to lie to me now!" Harris cursed and kicked Zach as well.

Zach raised his head to catch his breath. His blue eyes met the beautiful eyes of a girl outside the alley.

'Lisa!'

With her slender fingers, the girl covered her mouth.

"Stop!" yelled Lisa.

"Enough," Harris said quietly to his friends.

Zach coughed. He stood exhausted, smoothing his shirt and his almost-off glasses.

This situation made Zach feel even worse about himself. Why does Lisa have to see him like this again?

"You want me to call the cops?" threatened Lisa.

"Zach's girlfriend is furious, guys! Let's get going!" Harris carelessly threw Zach's bag.

Zach was left alone. Harris whistled sarcastically at Lisa.

"Zach's girlfriend, help him stand up," Robby joked.

"Watch what you say!"

"There's no need to be embarrassed, Lis. You're the one who complained to Ben about helping Zach one day, right?"

Zach's eyes widened. Zach was unaware of this!

'Does Lisa genuinely care about me? Lisa is nice!'

"Who would want such a pitiful person?" exclaimed Lisa.

"You two get along." Harris gave a thumbs up.

"I'm just sorry for him! Don't spread disgusting rumors!"

Lisa stomped her foot. Then go with the bullies. Without even looking at Zach.

'Ah, it's just a pity,' thought Zach bitterly.

    Zach tried to ignore King SJ's words, which still caught his interest. Now Zach and his friends face a final challenge.King SJ and Queen GM stand on the throne, which has suddenly appeared. While Petruk peeked through the volcanic crater.They are still not permitted to seek support from pets, as per previous regulations.Surprisingly, Drake, who loved to fight, remained silent as he watched the three humans preparing to fight.Three mountain-like creatures appeared one after the other. Their bodies are made of glowing lava rock, and their hair is made of pyroclastic flows.The three two-meter-tall creatures were wearing plant-based armor. It wasn't an ordinary plant because ordinary swords couldn't penetrate it.Their eyes glowed like magma. When it opens its mouth, hot clouds emerge that can melt any object.Although not as terrifying as Petruk's form, the three creatures are extremely powerful. Because King SJ and Queen GM created them."Are you guys ready?" King SJ asked."Ready!

    "Dark Humans have always been arrogant like this." Petruk made a shaky motion with his head.Petruk's body pierced Dark Zach's body in an instant. The dark cloud fragmented into a million pieces. Like black fireworks against a bright sky."Shit! You're dead!" exclaimed Tora.However, the small pieces of the black cloud returned to their original shape. Fatter and fuller."Is that your only skill?" sneered Dark Zach.Dark Zach is not afraid of anything. Because nothing can hold the darkness except another, darker darkness."Ha ha ha... It's just a warm-up!" exclaimed Petruk.Mount Merapi's pyroclastic flows became increasingly visible. Petruk's body is growing in size. Dark Zach's body is outmatched.Dark Zach will not be outdone. He increased the amount of dark clouds to the maximum."Are they competing to see who is bigger? Should I ask Master Drake to come out?" Ray arched his brow."No!" yelled Sean.Too late! When Ray said, 'Master Drake, come out,' the dragon appeared immediately

    "Hiya!!" shouted the white tiger man.A beam of light cut through the darkness an instant later. Dark Zach broke through the white tiger man's defenses. However, the white tiger man man managed to breach Dark Zach's defenses as well."You're great!" exclaimed Dark Zach. He cast a spell, and the darkness vanished in an instant."You're excellent too!" The white tiger man complimented him back.The spectators rubbed their eyes in response to the sudden light. They were taken aback by the sight in the middle of the battle arena.Dark Zach and the white tiger man man were severely injured all over. Their bodies were covered in blood."Your blood color is red. You're not a Dark Human," said the white tiger human male. Because Dark Humans do not produce red blood, but rather black."I thought your blood was white," Dark Zach sneered."Alright. Let's put a stop to this. You have potential, one of us might die if we keep fighting," said the white tiger man."No problem, I'll kill you!"'No!'

    "I can't accept your request," the white tiger man said flatly."I'm putting my life in danger here. I should get the prize I want," Zach argued.The white tiger man sighed. "It's not that I don't want to. But I can't. I'm a mountain guardian. I can just leave here. However, if you want, I can assign my son to be your underling.""Dad, that's a bad idea. I don't like the unpleasant smell of tigers." Lua said quietly to Zach."But they're powerful, Lua. They should be able to support me in saving my mother," Zach said quietly as well.Lua took a step back after hearing Zach's explanation. After all, Zach makes all of the decisions. She will only continue supporting Zach in achieving his goals."In that case, I should've fought your son rather than you."The white tiger man asks, "Why? Are you afraid of me?""Of course... no. Give me something as a reward if I can beat you. Of course, your son as well." Zach grinned.A few moments later, one of Zach's eyes turned black. The white tiger m

    "Jaka.""Ray."Before the fight began, those two musclemen bowed respectfully. They shook hands and took a step back."Start!" The white tiger man exclaimed.They dashed into the center at the same time. They put their hands up to shield their faces.Their movements are almost exactly the same. Ray immediately kicked Jaka in the stomach. With his arms crossed in front of him, Jaka quickly protected his stomach.Ray lowered his head slightly, then jabbed into Jaka's face quickly. Jaka deftly blocked his face with his palm.Ray made a rash first move because he didn't want to wait any longer. However, Jaka was able to deflect Ray's attack.Ray was mostly attacking, while the other guy was defending. Their battle was already fierce because they relied solely on physical strength.The tiger men yelled the names of their competitors. Zach and his group did the same.Ray substituted judo for attacks. Jaka was so used to Ray's fist movements that he didn't notice Ray had tackled his leg.How

    Nothing happened on Earth for a week after Zach received the notification from the world of darkness. Each country is still working to repair damage in various locations. The world of elevators can help to alleviate the human burden.A number of young people, including police officers and soldiers, changed at the red elevator door. Before they could become players, they had to pass a test.Because of Zach's recommendation, Harris and Ben accepted right away. Serena was the one who was testing them at the time.And then the next game starts...Zach, Sean, and Ray were walking to the exam room. And, unexpectedly, Nine opened the door to floor -101 straight away."Are you sure we don't need to take the exam?"Nine gave a faint smile. "The trials here are almost identical to the struggles of the three of you on Earth.""Doesn't everyone, then, need exams?" Zach wanted to know."Of course, they must pass tests. You guys were lucky to be on the exam floor during such a commotion," Nine repl

    "You two irritate me!" Zach snapped.Thick black smoke began to emerge from Zach's body, heading to Black's neck and choking him. Silver attempts an attack by launching an arrow, but Zach easily catches the arrow with thick black smoke.Black's body erupted in a hail of sharp black metallic thorns. Zach could not help but take a step back. However, Black does not attack Zach back. He just wants to defend himself.Meanwhile, Silver had already drawn his sword. But Black rushed in to stop him from attacking Zach."How did you get out of purification? And... those eyes of yours..." Black appeared befuddled."Dark, stop!" Zach yelled."Didn't you see they were trying to kill you? No, I mean, kill us. You moron!"Zach was talking to himself in a loud voice. Silver and Black exchanged puzzled looks. This is because Dark Humans rarely reveal the original figure of the body owner."I'm sorry, gentlemen. I'm not sure why you'd want to harm me. B-"Zach was interrupted by Black. "I have no inte

    "Urgh!"Zach's mouth sprayed blood, as did the arrow that pierced his stomach. He was curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach.The arrow had returned to attack him not far up. This time, the arrow was aimed right at his heart.Fortunately, Zach's hand quickly caught the arrow. However, the wound in his stomach weakened him. His grip on the arrow shook violently."S-stop....""I will not stop until you summon your darkness power," Silver said.'See... Now you believe me, don't you? He's after you,' Dark Zach chuckled.'Shut up and go out! I almost died!' Zach screamed in his heart.'No. I'm not going anywhere. I'm sure he'll use my abilities once I appear.' Dark Zach was certain of his words.'However, I could die. You, too, can perish.' Zach pleaded.There was silence... no response.'Dark! Please hurry... I can't take it any longer,' Zach begged.'You can grow stronger if you can get out of this situation, Zach. I'm heading to bed. Don't bother me!' Zach the Dark insisted.Sil

    "Is there anything else?" asked Zach.Silver takes Zach to several locations where Dark Humam can be found. Zach had defeated sixteen Dark Humans using his strength and the diamond sword."Yes," Silver replied curtly.Silver is growing tired of waiting for Dark Zach to appear. Zach refuses to use the power of darkness for some reason. Silver was also unable to directly ask Dark Zach. Because Dark Zach would never appear in front of the official elevators, he thought.'Was it because I'm here that he didn't show up? No... I was far enough away when Zach was fighting the dark humans,' Silver reasoned."Why am I the only one fighting against the dark humans, sir?" Zach wondered."The others are all busy."Zach cocked his head. He was also confused by Silver's change in demeanor. Silver always smiled at first. But he isn't smiling anymore. He just doesn't want to look at Zach.'He has negative thoughts about you,' said Dark Zach.'Impossible. He's well-known in the world of elevators.' Z
