Level 93 - 100

Level 93: Fifteen foot tall Giants were on this level but they were less primitive and that meant Lux could not call them Barbarian Giants but they were still not even remotely smart so now they were branded as the Lesser Minded Giants by Lux's incredible naming skills. Lux also noticed that they once again had better clubs as the materials were better and the craftsmanship had also become better than the last ones. Lux crept behind a group of twenty of them and sprinted at them and took one of their clubs and rolled away. Eleven of of them did not attack him and joined his fight against the other Lesser Minded Giants. One of the ones that joined Lux was the Giant that he had taken the club from but after crushing the skull of one of the enemies while it was off guard, he attempted to give the club that it was holding to his unarmed comrade only to find out he had been killed due to being weaponless but Lux did not feel guilty as he would have had to kill him anyway if he had survived until the end of this level. Lux's group finished killing the enemies and the seven remaining survivors in his team followed him to find more Giants to kill. After coming across a huge group of three hundred Lesser Minded Giants and only one hundred and twenty three of them joined his team which made them an army of one hundred and thirty one including Lux against the remaining group of one hundred and seventy seven Giants. The two small armies fought for over an hour and a half but eventually Lux's side came out on top without a single survivor. This meant that Lux had no friendly Giants to kill and as able to move onto level 94. [Charm] reached lvl.4

Level 94: The Giants on this level had a regular amount of intelligence for an average human and were not completely clueless about their surroundings or where they were, they had also grown again and were eighteen feet tall. You might think that their intelligence being increased would make it harder to influence them with the effects of [Charm] but it actually made it easier due to them being able to decide that they would survive for longer if they fought on Lux's side. they did not know that Lux would have to kill them eventually but that was not important. Their weapons had also significantly increased in quality as they had metal clubs instead of wooden ones. They had not started using other weapons but it made sense as their brute strength was suited to the club and not a weapon that would need skill and dexterity which was not something that the Giants had obtained yet. Lux first came across a group of fifty and realised that none of them had joined him yet but he was not discouraged as he ran into the crowd of Giants and threw his old club at one of them which startled it. He then grabbed its metal club and smashed its kneecap. Once it was kneeling due to not being able to stand, Lux smashed its face with the club and shattered its jaw and killed it instantly. He then stepped on top of the dead Giant and jumped up at another one and smashed its head. He then punched another one in the stomach and broke its legs. He then smashed its ribs and killed it, this display of strength led to fifteen of them joining him to fight the remaining thirty two Giants. His group of sixteen fought valiantly but all of them died except Lux but unlike previous times there were still enemies left alive. Lux finished killing the remaining survivors with his now blood-covered bat. He searched for a while and came across multiple groups of numbers ranging from just twenty to one hundred and eighty. He wiped out all of the groups and took in eighty four Giants along the way but they all fell in battle and after finishing off the whole level, he went on to level 95. [Charm] reached lvl.5

Level 95: Twenty foot tall giants that Lux dubbed Smart Giants die to their intelligence and skill with the Bow and Arrow or a Sword depending on their expertise. They had finally stopped using their clubs and upgraded to newer and more efficient ways to kill their enemies. Unlike their predecessors who were clumsy and unable to utilise anything except a simple club, they were more dangerous and had basic tactics. Their strength had increased mentally and physically and they had a sense of community as instead of being spaced out, they were all in one big group of five hundred and fifty. However, as soon as Lux made his presence known, their sense of community went down the drain and two hundred and ninety three of them joined his side which was over half and guaranteed a win. About three quarters of Lux's team were wielding swords and the others had bows. The other side was less well balanced with most of them being archers and having no real close combat ability which meant Lux and his team of Giants decimated their opponents leaving none behind. This also meant that once again Lux had to put down his team mates but they were made by whoever put him here and had no real mind of their own which made Lux able to do it without any guilt. He then went on to level 96. [Charm] reached lvl.6

Level 96: The incredibly smart Genius Giants that far surpassed any human intelligence were going to be Lux's hardest enemy yet due to their advanced weaponry and tactics... Except they weren't. They were so intelligent that they realised that their very existence was a pointless mess and that nothing mattered so by the time Lux had found any of them there was nothing to kill. They had all committed suicide die to being so smart that they realised they were meaningless and even if they did, it would not matter. Except it did, because all of them had these thoughts and all of them killed themselves which meant that their whole species on this level was gone. Maybe they weren't Genius Giants, maybe they were Depressed Giants or maybe their Genius led to Depression. Who knows, wither way it doesn't matter because Lux could move on to level 97. [Charm] reached lvl.7

Level 97: Alchemy Giants that had for some reason gone down a different route and chosen to practice the alchemic trade instead of science or fighting. They were also not incredibly violent and had gone back to being twelve feet tall. They were very merchant like and were attempting to sell their potions to Lux and he saw one that he liked. It had the words 'Timeless Life' written on it and it had a brilliant blue colour that seemed to hold starts inside of it. He asked the vendor how much it cost and what it did and he was told in return, "This potion will make you never age and will let you live forever as long as you are not killed, hence the name. Surprisingly for something this good there are no consequences and it only costs a price of one hundred thousand platinum coins" Lux realised that this was a lot of money and he still had none at all. He had to think of an elaborate plan to get the potion because he never wanted to die. "Nah, screw that. No harm in doing this a second time right?" Lux crushed the Giants skull with his fist as it was already leaning down to attempt to sell its potion. Lux grabbed the potion and drank it. He started feeling strange and read the back of the potions bottle that said to smear it on your body and definitely not drink it. Turns out it was more of a lotion and not a potion. Only one letter different but very different. He did not know what would happen but he started feeling weird and then had a lot of strange dream sequences happened ,much like an acid trip, and he woke up realising it was all a dream. Except it wasn't, he had murdered every single Alchemist Giant on the level and had also thrown up a lot. And I mean A LOT, but Lux presumed that the potion worked and hoped he could live for as long as he wanted. He then went on to level 98. [Charm] reached lvl.8

Level 98: Magic Giants that had grown again and were thirty feet tall and had increased physical strength were difficult to fight with as it was impossible to get to their vital points. This did not mean they were impossible to kill though as they were in one large group and they very conveniently only had four elements that they could use and they could only use one each. Out of the four hundred that were present, exactly fifty percent of them joined Lux. Even more conveniently, their four elements which were Earth, Fire, Water and Air, were split into the Fire and Ground on Lux's side and the Water and Air on the other side. Lux decided to sit back and watch the full scale war between nations with equal footing occur and was unsurprised to see his entire team dead as the Water Giants destroyed both Fire and earth Giants. Lux was left to finish the mess and ended up dodging enough attacks that misfired and hit other Giants, that they all killed one another. He then moved on to level 99. [Charm] reached lvl,9

Level 99: Science Giants. Now that's a name that really rolls off the tongue, unlike the equations that these Giants were spouting. They had no enthusiasm for fighting and Lux spent days watching them from afar. They seemed to be creating a device of some sort that attempted to create portals like the ones that Lux went from level to level through. They eventually created it and they all seemed ecstatic but once they turned it on, the machine malfunctioned and killed all of the Science Giants. They were smart enough to create what they wanted, albeit it did not work but at least they tried. That fact proves that they were in fact dumber than the Genius Giants though as they knew instantly that they were doomed but these Giants had hope and believed they could escape, and that's why they weren't really intelligent. You might think that means Lux is also not smart as he knew he could escape, but unlike the Science Giants hope, Lux knew he would survive without a doubt. He moved onto level 100. [Charm] reached lvl.10

Level 100: A one hundred foot tall Giant with no discerning features was the boss monster which was quite underwhelming. It also seemed to be the dumbest Giant so far and Lux did not even think that it had a brain. He climbed to the top of the Giant and sat on its shoulder and looked over the horizon. It was then that the Giant spoke. Lux did not know if it was to him or just the Giant speaking into the nothingness that was this level, but it was beautiful none the less. The wisdom contained in the mind of that simple seeming creature was too much for Lux to handle. He climbed onto it head and destroyed it with his fists raining down blows. Lux was afraid that if he had listened to any more, that he would have never left and if he had, then his whole life would be filled with nothingness as nothing could compare to the Giants words. Lux walked through he portal not knowing if what he had done was correct, but he had resolved to survive and escape, and that was what he would do. [Charm] reached Full Mastery.
