[ Level up! ] [ Level 0 ----> Level 1 ] [ First level up achieved, +23 EXP ] Following the series of level up messages, William was greeted with a comforting sensation of his overall strength increasing. The sensation was difficult to explain in simple terms, he simply felt more powerful. As though to test his new level, one of the corrupted humans formerly attacked a group of soldiers latched on to him with its sharp claws. The corrupted human was moving at the same speed his previous opponents were moving out. However, this time, due to his new found strength from leveling up, the movement felt a little bit sluggish. William easily moved out of the way, causing the corrupted human to almost last balance as it had placed all its strength behind its attack. Seizing the opportunity, William lifted his sword and swung down at its neck, decapitating it easily. [ You've slayed X1 Corrupted human, EXP +12 ] "I feel so different, so strong." He was clearly thrilled by this new feeling of inhuman strength, and he did not waste time to impose his superior strength on the annoying corrupt humans. "Fuck! Somebody please help." One soldier cried out for help, drawing William's attention as he was nearby. The soldier was currently on the ground, frantically blocking the claws of three corrupted humans. He swung his sword with all his strength as his life depended on it at this moment, any mistake and he would be just another meal for the corrupted humans. William made a move right away to save the helpless soldier. He got closer without drawing the attention of the three busy corrupted humans, and quickly positioned himself properly behind them. Then with the boost of his swordmaster skill and the newfound strength from his level up, he swung his sword with a move to take out the three at once. SWOOSH! The sound of the blade speeding the arching resounded. THUD! THUD!! In the next seconds, three headless corrupted humans collapsed. [ You've slayed X3 Corrupted humans, +36 EXP ] [ Triple Kill Bonus, +30 EXP ] 'Whoa, there is even a triple kill bonus, that is great!' thought William. He turned to the soldier on the ground and assisted him back on his feet. "Thank you very much, great hero! If it weren't for you, I would've died just now! I owe you my life!" The soldier displayed sincere gratitude with tears steaming down his eyes. William only gave him a nod and warned him to be very careful before moving on to defend another soldier in trouble. The soldier he had just rescued stared at his back with a look of gratitude for a few seconds. Half an hour drove by chaotically since the beginning of the brawl between humans and corrupted humans. The tension of the battle had reduced drastically thanks to the effort of the hero. At the moment, the population of the corrupted humans have fallen from almost a hundred to less than a dozen. The population of the soldiers now overpowered that of their undead foe. Even without the assistance of the hero, ending the battle without another death became extremely possible. Almost two minutes after, the last enemy was decapitated and the battle ended. [ Urgent Quest Completed Successfully, +250 EXP ] [ Level up! ] [ Level 1 ----> Level 2 ] [ Level up! ] [ Level 2 ----> Level 3 ] The feeling of going up two levels at once was even more exhilarating. With this amount of strength, William believes he could easily stand on par with the strongest man back on earth! 'This is fucking awesome! Who would dare bully me with this level of power?' William bathed in the unique feeling of superiority and power. "We won!" "We really won!" "Yeah!!" On the other hand. The soldiers began celebrating their victory, hugging each other and dancing around with joy. They began dancing in circles around William while chanting his name out loud with gratitude and reverence. "All hail the great hero!" "All hail!" King Julian and Osborne, who had witnessed William's gallant display of heroism from the safety of their tents, stepped out to join in the celebration. King Julian was all smiles as he watched the celebration. Seeing how William fought and how his warning saved most of his soldiers from dying, he became even more assured that he would be able to bring down the Gravemind Order. The celebration lasted for about ten minutes before gradually dying down. While the celebration died down, an atmosphere of grief began enveloping the encampment as the soldiers proceeded to perform the funeral of their colleagues. They collected sturdy logs and dry branches from the woods, stacking them into a rough pyramid at the edge of the clearing. When the pile stood ready, they placed the fallen bodies atop the wood, arranging them with care and respect. A hush fell over the group as King Julian stepped forward with a torch. He had a grim expression on his face as he observed the corpse of his gallant soldiers one last time. "May your souls find light beyond this dark night." King Julian spoke audibly with a tone of sadness. The soldiers repeated his chant three times and then a grim silence fell over the place once again. King Julian let out a loud sigh and placed the torch on the wood. It ignited right away, gradually, the bodies were consumed in flames. A soft wind appeared, carrying the dark smoke towards the moonlit sky. The sound of the fire cackling was the only sound that could be heard at the moment. Including William, everyone remained silent to pay their last respect to the deceased soldiers. William slowly moved his gaze around, he could see tears sliding down the faces of the soldiers as the flames reflected in their solemn eyes. A few had solemn smiles, as they seemed to be recalling the past with their deceased comrades. William suddenly felt the urge to tear up as well — On earth, this kind of scene naturally brought sadness to the audience. But it was a different and stronger kind of sad feeling experiencing it first hand. Even though he had only met them for a very short time, this scene was still very emotional. William even swore to himself to prevent death in the future. He did not want this sadness to repeat itself.

Early morning had already arrived over the dark island. The sun shone brightly over the evil island, radiating a strong golden glow and heat.The sun easily permeated the small confinement of the room which only comprised of a few wooden chairs, a bed and a tall wooden cupboard where the previous owner of the room kept their wands and attires.Inside a spacious, dimly-lit room at the dark island, the core members of the two groups could be seen standing around a small desk.Melissa and Peterson brought out a more detailed ancient map of the place and described it to William and Theobald who represented their group. Only two members were allowed to attend the meeting thus both of them were sent."The first three floors are very easy to clear, they comprise mostly of mid-level apprentice wizards with barely enough mana in their mana reserve to cast powerful spells. While they are a little bit stronger than the wizards guarding the fences, they are not that much trouble for a well-traine

The crew ended up spending more than half an hour discussing about the plans to infiltrate the dark tower, how to act within it, how to avoid suspicions, path to follow, and where to find certain important people inside the tower.Most of the explanation was done by Peterson, the trustworthy assassin of Melissa's squad. His information and description were clear and vivid—better than reading it from a map.Melissa and a few members of her squad also added to the information available. As they had been around the tower for several days, their understanding of the place was an important lesson to William and the others.During their discussions, they had to halt several times—either when the surveillance light flashed in their direction or when actual members of the cult walked by.They were able to finish their discussion without drawing that much attention to themselves.After they were done discussing, they began preparing to act on the plans they had just finalized."Here."Melissa

William and the crew, now under disguise, were strolling around. From ahead, a group of Gravemind cultist strolled in their direction.They were about fifteen of them in numbers, each of them stood tall with heights above six feets. A few of them had huge muscular builds similar to Theobald's.Their strides were filled with arrogance, something the other cultist William had slayed lacked.William was the first to notice the oddity of the group marching in their direction, and he couldn't help but frown. Why were they so different from the others? he asked himself.William kept his eyes on the small group as they closed in on each other. His eyes was fixed on that of the biggest one in the ground who, coincidentally, also had his eyes locked with his. William could sense weird emotions from his eyes as they jammed; it was something between hatred and disgust.The two groups were just a few meters away from walking past each other. The silence between them stronger than ever, almost as

A few men adorning dark robes and masks could be seen patrolling the mighty fence that enclosed the evil gathering of Gravemind cult. They walked in separate groups, each of them moving in different directions, ensuring that all the perimeter of the fence was covered at all times.A small group of three cultists could be seen strolling together while discussing amongst themselves, unaware of the arrival of an unstoppable opponent."I heard the great leader would be arriving tonight," one of them brought up a new conversation."Frederico told me about that a few hours ago, I thought he was lying. So you guys heard the same thing?" The one in the middle replied."Frederico wasn't lying, I overheard two of our superiors discussing about his arrival.""I suspect something important would go down in a few days. The great leader never visits the tower unless for a very important event, could it be that the preparing of the grand ritual has been completed and he is here to finalize it?"The

William and the crew could be seen strolling towards the vast water body with silent and cautious step. At the moment, each of them had a long black fabric covering their head. The black fabric served as a camouflage each time the beam of the light rotated in their direction.As the land was plain and filled with dark sand and skeletal remains, covering themselves in black clothings made them more difficult to detect from afar.Thankfully, this barren land had no sort of abnormalities, not even corrupted creatures that usually raided the night.If there were unlucky enough to have faced anyone, their location would be revealed to the cult once and their entire plan would be ruined."Walk faster! We need to be at the island before morning arrives!"Theobald announced to the others while strolling beside the hero. Both of them took long strides forward, their eyes cautiously scanning their surroundings from time to time.King Julian and the others increased their pace and soon caught up

After the peculiar sensation of passing through the portal faded, William found himself standing in a strange, unfamiliar location."Wow!"The scene before him prompted the hero to exclaim in genuine astonishment.Spread before his eyes was a vast, barren land plunged into darkness and gloom. Only the faint crescent light of the full moon hanging in the sky battled the intense blackness.Not far from his current position, William’s gaze fell on a truly vast, large water body that stretched over a long distance, seemingly unending from his perspective. The hero needed no geography expert to tell him this was Dark Island, the sacred landmark and hideout of the most terrifying dark wizard cult in this dark world.The sound of water calmly flowing could be heard clearly, and the waters were almost visible as they softly reflected the moon."What is that?"A surprised voice muttered behind the hero as its owner’s eyes suddenly and instantly fell upon a mysterious, silhouetted structure ris
