Leo stood there frozen unable to believe his own eyes. His girlfriend was cheating on him with his boss.Katie, catching sight of Leo, gasped in shock. “You...what are you doing here?”Ethan, moved away from the two and leaned casually on the elevator wall, folding his arm with a sly grin on his face.Leo struggled to find words amid the whirlwind of emotions crashing over him.“You--why--whats was going on here?” Leo sputtered his voice quivering from the shock. It was as if his whole world had been turned upside down.Katie had a guilty look on her face but she quickly brushed it off and looked right at Leo with confidence. All trace of shame on her expression was gone.“"That's right, Leo. I cheated on you. I was only with you because I thought you had potential, that you'd achieve greatness. But you've disappointed me. Reduced to a mere coffee boy, you're nothing but an embarrassment.” Each word Katie uttered was like a dagger through Leo's heart. It was the excrutiating pain he

A young man on appeared in a green and lush forest. He was dressed in a white shirt with a black tie and black pants, a stark contrast to his surrounding.He looked around at his surroundings with curiosity and muttered in awe. “So this is the tutorial.”This young man was Leo. The tutorial was a far cry from the hellish landscape he imagined.He had expected dark menacing woods, with creepy noises and roars, or a cave with bones and skulls, where bats jump at you from nowhere.But, Leo found himself surrounded by a sea of vibrant green foliage. Towering trees created a dense canopy, and dappled sunlight filtered through. Nature's aroma filled the air. Unexpectedly, the ambiance was serene.Ding! [System is now available]The holographic interface notified.Finding a nearby tree, Leo settled down to explore the system and grasp its mechanics first, before he took any action.With a mere thought, Leo accessed the system, and the floating panel updated.Name: Leo Rank: ETitle: Apoca

Leo figured it only seemed hard because he was still a low-level player, once he levelled up, killing so many cockatrices wouldn't be that big of a deal.And with his special title, Leo would eventually reach a point where he would get enough coins to go on a shopping spree.Leo also believed a stronger monsters would definitely drop more coins, so if he wanted to enjoy the comfort of the system, he had to power up quick.“Guess oracle saying the strong will rule wasn't wrong.” Leo mutteredFor now, the cheapest thing in the system shop was a bottle of water which costs ten coins, the total number of coins Leo had.He was thirsty, after eating the meat, so he decided to buy it instead. As soon as Leo ten coins disappeared, a bottle of water appeared in his inventory. Leo took it out, and examined it. It looked like your regular bottle of water from earth, with ‘Tutorial Water’ written on the paper around it as the name of the company.Leo then uncorked the bottle and downed the wate

[Goblin Troop: Rank D] The goblin were dressed in tattered rags, clutching wooden club with trembling arms, only a single one holding a crude dagger. They had fearful expression on their faces as they glance back over their shoulder. In a few seconds Leo found out what it was that was chasing them. A scorpion like tail shot out from the shrub impaling the slowest goblin in the group. The creature effortlessly lifted the lifeless corpse and hurled it towards its companions ahead, causing them to tumble to the forest floor in disarray. The cockatrice stepped out, and close the distance with the goblin. The green creatures stood and grip their weapons with trembling hands, showing their backs was suicide, they had no other option but to fight. Leo watching the show, took out a piece of meat from his inventory and began to eat. It just felt like the right thing to do at the moment. The goblins, driven by a primal instinct to survive, let out a collective battle cry and lunged at t

The whole battlefield erupted with a powerful explosion consuming both cockatrices and goblins alike. Leo covered his ears so he wouldn't get deaf from the earplitting sounds.With his eyes shut, he grinned heartily enjoying the sounds of system notification ringing in his head.As soon as all his bombs had finished exploding, Leo opened his eyes to see the damage he had caused. His mouth shot open, the whole place was like a scene from hell, trees on the ground, leaves caught on fire, body parts of goblins and cockatrices everywhere.The explosion had killed about 80% of the monster below and the remaining were far too injured to be a threat. He turned towards, the cockatrice boss and goblin, and saw they were still alive. But they were still fighting with each other despite the chaos.He noticed the Cockatrice was stealing glances in his direction while defending the attacks from the goblin. Leo figured the cockatrice boss knew he was the source of the explosion but couldn't do a
