Even though Kai wasn’t scared but as the monster took steps forward, his heart hit slowly against his chest, “Even the unbreakable grows weary. But the warrior must stand  because he chooses to rise again.” He said those words to himself just to be strong so that he could face the enemy before his.

Kai’s chest heaved as his face was filled with sweat and his saliva was mixed with blood while his body ached in pain.

The giant before him was huge such that Kai looked like an ant before him.  It's face was brutal while it roared. He moved forward and charged at Kai.

Kai pushed off the ground and he dodged - Kai barely avoided to get a crushing blow that shattered the stone floor behind him on impact.

While he grinded his teeth against the other, Kai rolled aside and slashed upward.

The sword bit into the giant’s leg. “Ouu!” A loud, ear-splitting painful groan escaped its mouth as it stumbled backwards but it wasn’t

  • Chapter 32: Winds of Wrath

    With heavy breath enthralling the nostrils of the shadow man, he reads from the watcher’s journal, Vol. VII. But his thoughts were wild,  ‘With every level, he rises. But how far can a mortal climb before the heavens rage?’ ……………..The monster’s body collapsed behind Kai with a hollow thud and it dissolved into black dust as its final growl echoed into silence.Kai stood still, his eyes narrowed and blood dripped from his lip. He clutched his side where the monster's claws had pierced him. ‘Ash.’ He groaned in heavy pain. The System pinged.‘Immortality Skill Tree Activated. Auto-Healing: Engaged.Wounds healing… Strength restoring…’ Just after the echo, a soothing warmth surged through Kai’s veins. Within seconds, the gashes across his torso closed, and his aching bones realigned. His breath steadied. Power pulsed through his body once more. ‘I am good now.’ He said to himself.From

  • Chapter 31: The Echo of Immortality

    Kai breathed intensely and the creak of the elevator door opening penetrated his ear. With his sword in his hand, he turned and walked into the elevator .Ding! The elevator stopped and its door slid open with a cold hiss which revealed  the sixth level of the Pit of Trial. A wave of eerie silence greeted Kai as he stepped forward and his flaming sword hummed faintly in his grip.Kai stepped out of the elevator with  caution. The room was unnaturally dark, only a faint bleak of crimson light pulsating through the walls like a beating heart illuminated the darkness. ‘Why is this place so dark?’ Kai's eyes gleaned thin as he asked himself. Just then, the system pinged, System Pinged.‘Warning: High-level threat detected.Level Six Monster: One Entity.Type: Phantom Apex Wraith.Power: TERMINAL Class.New Mission: Successfully Dodge 20 consecutive attacks from the Wraith to unlock the Advanced

  • Chapter 30: The Puzzle and the Phantom

    While heavy thoughts clamped down Kai's mind, the system pinged, ‘Time Slowdown Activated.’ The echo rang in Kai's head. Suddenly, the air shimmered. Kai’s eyes blinked as he fixed his eyes on the hair before him. The giant who just moments ago moved with a very fast speed, now moved forward in normal motion. The monster's once unreadable speed is reduced to manageable movement. And that was perfect for Kai to have his way. Kai’s eyes sharpened as it glowed faintly with a light blue light. The world around him slowed down like thick syrup. Then the system pinged again, ‘Time Freeze: 20 Seconds Activated. Objective: Solve the puzzle above the monster's head before the time resumes. Failure results in ultimate loss of battle.’ Just after Kai heard that echo from the system, everything suddenly stopped. Even the giant froze mid-step and its roar caught half

  • Chapter 28: The Weight of Power

    Kai’s eyes remained closed. His concentration level increased. “True strength isn't in power but in the humility to wield it.” His voice was barely above a whisper. The calmness and the peace for a moment felt like there was no monster ready to devour him. “Was I... changing?” He muttered through his teeth. The monster had waited for a while to see what Kai was up to. But when it realized Kai was just sitting calmly, it hissed and lunged. Kai's eyes opened with just the feeling of the monster's hostile vibration. As it attacked to strike him down, Kai dodged without striking yet.  His heart beat calmly and his eyes watched every move of the monster. The system chimed, ‘System Notification! Ego is suppressed by 2%. Trial conditions are met and mental clarity is restored.’Kai's puffed out an heavy breath after hearing the system. It was time for him to strike. Kai moved like fire. The sword lit up in his hand and it

    Kai turned, his sword facing down and he went into the elevator. He leaned on the elevator wall. The elevator doors creaked open in no time and it revealed a new chamber that magnified in cold blue light. His eyes went around the place slowly. With eyes thinned, Kai stepped forward while his sword was in his hand and he was ready for what awaited him on Level Two of the Pit Trial.The room was silent and it only lasted for a moment. Suddenly, a door burst open with a loud slam. Kai turned instantly and his eyes narrowed. From its depths crawled a crab-like monster. Its shell glistened like steel with glowing red eyes that screamed bloodlust.Immediately the monster set it's eyes on Kai, It screeched and lunged without wasting time.Kai moved swiftly and he dodged its jagged claws. The monster attacked again, but this time, Kai slashed low, his sword cut through its armored legs, and with a second flaming strike, he shattered i
