2026-03-07 23:29:29Another Knight swung a massive sword overhead. Miles rolled under it, the edge grazing his shoulder and tearing a deep gash. Blood ran down, soaking his sleeve, but he forced himself up.
He was outnumbered. One Knight thrust with a spear, the tip grazing his chest, drawing blood. Another swung a hammer; the force sent him skidding across shattered stone tiles, shards cutting into his arms and legs. Another Knight slammed its broadsword down from above. Miles leapt into the air, spinning, striking another Knight in the chest with a brutal arc of his dagger. The collision of steel reverberated through his arms, sending pain up to his shoulders. Debris erupted again as armor and stone met in violent sparks. Suddenly, a blade pierced his abdomen. Miles screamed. Blood flooded his mouth as the Death Knight wrenched the sword free, blackened ichor spilling freely as Miles collapsed to one knee, vision blurring violently. Another Death Knight brought its mace down on his chest. The impact sent him flying. His body rolled across shattered stone, slamming into the wall with brutal force. Blood pooled beneath him as he struggled to push himself upright. “Pathetic,” the lich sneered. “You never stood a chance ….’’ he paused, hovering closer to Miles. “.....now you shall meet your end just like the rest of your pathetic friends.” The lich declared victoriously. Miles groaned in pain. “Do you now feel despair?” he mocked expecting that Miles would start begging for his life but the situation didn't turn out as expected Miles groaned—and then laughed. The sound was hoarse, broken… but real. The lich paused. “Have you finally gone crazy due to fear, human?” he asked coldly Miles lifted his head, eyes blazing despite the blood streaming down his face. “You talk about fear,” he rasped. “But you don’t understand it.” The lich stiffened. “Have you ever felt real fear?” Miles continued. “You’re just a talking bone.” The lich’s aura flared violently. “You dare, human. I don't know where you keep getting your confidence from but this is where you meet your end.” The Lich replied…”kill him now.” A Death Knight slowly matched closer to Miles' metal boots clanging with every step it took. As the death knights approached him, Miles opened his Status window and immediately checked his available stats point. ------------------ Name: Miles Reed Age: 16 Race: Half Demon Current Rank: Lesser Demon (Early Stage) HP: 100 / 100 Demonic Energy Points (DEP): 30 / 100 ------------------ STATS ------------------ Current Rank Cap: 100 per stat Stat Value STR (Strength) 30/ 100 AGI (Agility) 30/ 100 STA (Stamina) 30/ 100 SEN (Sense/Perception) 23/ 100 INT (Intelligence) 25/ 100 Available stats Points: 37 points ( can be distributed to stats.)

By now the Death knight was already standing in front of Miles, looking down on him before it raised its sword to deal the final blow. Miles smirked seeing the Death Knight sword flying towards him. In a flash he lunged upward, driving his dagger straight through the knight’s visor. The dark purple light inside flickered—then went out and the knight staggered backward. Miles grabbed his second dagger and sliced of the death knight neck off The Death Knight collapsed . [DING : Host has slain a B rank monsters] [4 stats points gained] The lich froze. “What?” he muttered as he couldn't believe what he just witnessed as he didn't expect that Miles would be able to recover. “How are you still able to fight?” [Regeneration activated] Miles' wounds knit together before the Lich eyes, his open flesh closed and the pain receded. Miles didn’t waste a second. [4 stats point added to Strength] Miles' muscles bulged subtly, power coiling tighter. He ripped the dagger free and turned. The Death Knights hesitated. Just for a moment. That moment was enough. “You guys have your fun and now it's my turn.” He could have added his stats point earlier but he wanted to test how strong he had become while fighting against the death knights. But now that he understood his limits he was going to take the fight seriously. Even the lich King could sense that the aura surrounding Miles was becoming even more tense and alarming….. “Kill that imbecile right now”

Miles stood alone amid the ruin, chest rising slowly, power radiating from him in palpable waves. He flexed his fingers as fresh strength flowed into his body, his presence no longer merely human.The lich drifted backward.For the first time in centuries, fear seeped into his voice.“You… you grow stronger with every kill,” he whispered. “That ability—no mortal should possess it.”Miles lifted his gaze and his eyes met that the lichAs their gazes met the lich understood that the boy before him was no longer prey but was a catastrophe in the making.The suffocating aura of undeath that had filled the chamber moments ago now hung thin and uncertain, like smoke after a wildfire.At the far end of the vast throne hall, suspended above a cracked obsidian dais, the Lich King watched.He did not move.He did not blinkBut he was fazed.The faint emerald flames burning within his hollow eye sockets flickered—just slightly—as he surveyed the battlefield. His Death Knights. His elite vanguard

Without wasting time, Miles dashed forward toward the knights without hesitation.He met the next Death Knight head-on, blocking a downward strike with his dagger—and holding it. Shock rippled through the undead warrior as Miles shoved the blade aside and plunged his dagger into its knee joint.The knight staggered.Miles leapt, slashing upward, severing the neck.Another kill[Ding: Host have slain a B rank monster][4 stats points gained]Another notification appeared The battlefield shifted instantly. Where before Miles had been overwhelmed, now he pressed forward. His movements became sharper, more precise. He anticipated attacks, countered faster, struck harder.Still, the Death Knights fought viciously.A halberd pierced his side. He broke the shaft with brute force and killed its wielder with a brutal thrust to the throat.An axe buried itself in his back. He endured the pain, spun, and decapitated the knight mid-swing.Kill after kill.The lich’s laughter died.“No… impossibl

Miles tightened his grip on the dagger. “We’ll see who survives,” he muttered as he crouched slightly, dagger in hand, muscles coiled like a predator ready to spring. The Death Knights reached striking distance. Without another word, he charged, his footfalls silent against the stone.The lich drifted higher into the air, skeletal frame silhouetted against the dim glow of necrotic light, amusement oozing from every deliberate movement.Its massive broadsword carved through the air in a brutal diagonal arc, the cursed edge aimed to cleave Miles in two from shoulder to hip. Miles dropped low at the last instant, the blade whistling overhead with enough force to send sparks erupting as it grazed the stone wall behind him.He rolled forward, momentum carrying him beneath the knight’s guard, and slashed upward at its armored leg. The dagger scraped against enchanted steel, sparks bursting outward as the vibration rattled through his wrist.The Death Knight did not falter.Its balance remai
Chapter 29
Silence ruled the battlefield.Not the peaceful kind, nor the silence of rest—but the suffocating stillness that followed absolute annihilation. It pressed against the ears like a living thing, so heavy and oppressive that one could hear the frantic pounding of their own heartbeat screaming for escape. The ground was soaked black with blood long since cooled, its metallic stench lingering thick in the air. Bodies lay strewn across the ruined expanse like discarded puppets, their strings severed mid-performance, limbs twisted at unnatural angles.Broken weapons jutted from the earth like grave markers—chipped blades, splintered hafts, crushed shields—all bearing silent testimony to the brutality that had unfolded.At the center of it all stood Miles.No—remained was the more accurate word.He was still standing, but only just. His shoulders sagged beneath the weight of exhaustion, his breath ragged and uneven, each inhale scraping through his lungs as though they had been lined with br
Chapter 28
Hale’s voice tore through the suffocating pressure like a blade. “Hold the line! Formation—now!” His command snapped the group into motion by instinct alone. Kael and Dren moved to the front despite the fear clawing at their throats, blades raised. Boros planted himself beside Hale, shield up, axe glowing faintly with mana. Kira stood behind them, staff shaking in her grip as she began chanting, green sigils spiraling into the air. Hale’s mind was racing. Twenty Death Knights. This wasn’t a battle. It was an execution waiting to happen. “Kira—barrier! Full output, now!” His shout cut through the chaos like a blade. Kira didn’t hesitate. She slammed the butt of her staff into the stone floor, teeth clenched as she poured every drop of mana she could muster into the spell. Runes flared beneath her feet, expanding outward in a radiant dome of pale-blue light that enveloped the entire group. The barrier formed just in time. Steel slammed into it. BOOOOM—! The first Deat
