System Desires Infinite

[Be ready for the final examination.]

Step….step…step…

Each step he took made me feel as though I was about to be sucked into a black hole that absorbs everything. black all the way through, with those purple eyes. It won't be long before this system commands you to confront the beast in human form.

[requirement have met]

'what requirement?'

Indeed, it was perplexing because the system only provided that information. I read that message and looked at the man. Without saying anything, he drew closer and closer.

Do I need to fight him, the boy questioned anxiously in his head.

At that precise moment, neither my body nor my mind were responding to anything.

Shake…shake…

"What's this? My body is trembling and I find it difficult to speak,"

[alert]

[because a powerful spell of fear has been cast on your body.]

'The spell! Do you mean that he can cast the spell?

[alert]

[a spell that manipulates the body has been detected]

'whaaa…!! What my why is it…'

That spell was the cause. Even though I knew I had no chance, my body kept moving in the direction of the man. I had to be aware of my just...

'if you want then let's have a fight'

[alert]

[There is a great Dark pressure on your body.]

'ehhhhh…eehhhh'

'too…ooo…hea…vy'

Crack…crack…crack…

Under the boy's feet, there were numerous fissures. He experienced what felt like a huge mountain falling on his body. His body was slowly collapsing under the pressure.

Welcome…

…?

You went above and beyond what I expected. You'll be picked out as the unknown kind kid.

'what…?'

'Hold on... Are you going to challenge me?

[The answer to your question is impossible because your opponent is at a level higher than you.]

'…!? what the...? Even the simplest question escapes me. This system is incredibly terrible.'

Snap…

[You may ask one question out of pure curiosity as a user.]

'nice'

[but for the system to respond, your adversary must first grant permission.]

'Does that imply I need to request permission?'

views the man with surprise

"Were you the one to develop this system?"'

[Is that what you want to know, kind child?]

Did he just use the system to talk?

Well, at first, seeing the system was really exciting, but after that, for some reason I felt a little relief. But that was just a feeling; the real action had just begun.

If that is your question, child, I will ask you one at a time.

Although I did initially want to know who created it, there is currently no point in doing so.

'yes'

Sh*t why did I just say yes!!

[ processing….]

[the answer to your question is…]

[NO]

'What!! You were managing the system just now, I see.

[ To get one for an answer you will be given a high-level penalty]

'I'm good ha ha ha.'

I'd like to introduce myself to you. You will receive a quest from me rather than a system.

"All right." What will the system then do for me?

Well, the system was designed to give a being as much power as he desires, not to give you quests as far as I know.

Does that imply that levelling up has no upper limit?

I'm not entirely sure, but it is said that it can grant you all of your desires.

I never noticed that system message,

But now you know.

By the boy, the man is walking. reflects back at the boy

Answer my question now without including anything else.

'okay!'

My thoughts at that time were all focused on a single question that I kept asking. What questions will be posed? What will he ask? That was all I could think about. I don't understand why I was giving it such serious thought.

Why did you not find me terrifying?

Huh?!

You didn't exhibit any fear when I first approached you, so the behaviour was appropriate. It makes me think of the time you battled that monster in that building and the subsequent monsters in the forest.

It was like how a predator would fear when facing a strong opponent when they are at a disadvantage, but not when they are at an advantage.

What he said wasn't incorrect either. I did feel scared when I first saw that monster. While I had no fear of the other monsters, I was afraid of that one. said to himself

[your first quest is ready]

'a quest?'

No, now is not the time to talk. You don't need to waste time if you want to get stronger.

'hmm. Right!'

it was my time you shine. I guess the more exciting thing get the more the future becomes.

[kill an S-rank monster]

When the S-rank monster appeared on the message screen, the boy was startled. Although it was more difficult to defeat weak monsters, the first quest was enough to frighten him.

'Hey… Was what I just read, Mr. Shadow Man, accurate?

That's correct Your first quest is what you just read.

'but I will be dead as hell!!'

[If you can kill the S-rank monster, the reward will be greater.]

'haaa… I will do it'

I'll then wish you luck on your first mission. I'm hoping to hear from you soon with some good news about your levelling up.

Does this crazy man really not care about what I'm up against? Even a S himself has trouble fighting it off whether it's a hunter or a hero. That monster is completely unknown, but it's still a dam S rank monster.

Well, my road to strength doesn't exactly start out smoothly. Hmm. It does seem unfair that an S-rank monster is directly pitted against a small, helpless human. Well, through the first battle with the knight, the system gave me a few abilities that might be of use to me.

Soon Ray enters the portal.

'What's this thing called in manhwa? Let me take a moment to reflect. Hmmm…HMMMMM…. Right gates, I believe."

The boy's companion monkey emerged from behind the man after the boy had left the area.

Is it really necessary to send him directly against an enemy that he can't handle?

Don't stress over that. Considering that he'll be facing a monster who is entirely on par with him.

'what does that mean?'

Woosh…

A chair materialises out of thin air. On the chair the man sits

However, there is a catch. He is in fact fighting an S-rank monster. The challenge is that the monster he will meet is on a par with him.

"I wasn't quite sure what you meant by that,"

Do you recall the time he told us a tale about a boss whose level would be higher than the enemy but who would actually be sufficient? If the enemy is more powerful than the monster, he will be vanquished quickly.

"but the child dies because he lacks any abilities like...,"

If he really is one of them, he ought to pass the test, but don't hold out hope because he isn't a hero who will intervene to save anything. It doesn't matter if he dies.

The two of them continued their conversion as our hero entered the location and found himself once more trapped in a forest. Nothing but a typical forest can be seen as he looks around, unlike the other forest.

'huh?! I had anticipated seeing something new, but there is nothing new, and where is the monster he was referring to?

[ hello unknown kind child]

'hmm… hello?..'

[You must first complete the quest in order to locate the monster]

'quest? But…'

Let's take a moment to clear our minds. Since I'm not a particularly strong man, there might be a way for me to complete the quest while also searching the forest for anything useful. Quest will be beneficial to me as well.

[first quest]

[processing….]

[done]

[You must capture the rare animal among common animals.]

It will be simple to identify a rare animal that I haven't seen if they are just regular animals, so that's easy.

[They can also change into various animals.] [the capacity to change into another animals]

"This system is really annoying."
