Leveling Error Part 1

" You Ordinario bastard!!! "

" How dare you sliced the boss's beak!!!? " said one of the Incursor hollows from Cráneos's Paquetes as the others begin to follow him.

< Name: Incursor Paquetes >

< Number: 6/6 >

< Overall Level: 15 >

...

< Since the Astral Player is at Level 1, technically, it would be impossible to defeat those Paquetes... >

< But... >

< Due to the Astral Player having already increased all status... >

< Then it could be possible... >

As System says that, Shiro slashes one down, damaging it badly, and then slashes it more as he then kills one of the Paquetes after slicing and dicing it for four minutes.

< Incursor Paquetes (5/6) >

" That's one, with this my Level should be increased but... " Shiro says as System suddenly says.

< Level Up Failed. >

< Level Up Failed >

< Astral Core Error >'

< ______________ >

" Huh!!!? " Shiro says as he then wonders why his level doesn't increase at all despite he can and already had killed one of the enemies that had higher levels than him.

But instead, the System tells that 'somehow' Shiro can't level up due to his Astral Core having some particular problems that the System is trying to fix.

< Please wait, Astral Player Shiro. >

< Immediately dealing with the error in your Core now. > System says as the screen disappears before Shiro, at that very time, Shiro then immediately flees from the place as he can see that the Paquetes are too strong for him if they attack him together.

"( Based on what the System says, my extraordinary Status could help me deal with them one-by-one thus also increasing my chance to Level Up as well. ) "

"( But suddenly, that blasted System then also told me that I can't Level Up since my 'Astral Core'- whatever it is, I don't care, is having an 'Error'!!! )" Shiro runs since he sees that he had no advantage in facing them all, due to experience in living.

" Don't run, Ordinario!!! "

" Come here, let us the Incursors teach you some manners!!! " The hollow Paquetes say as they chased Shiro who can now run faster than before due to his Hollow muscles being trained well.

As he runs, he can see that the Desierto is a vast land of nothingness which is so vast there are sands anywhere as the sands powdering Shiro's feet while he runs all over the place without any direction.

< MAP: >

< Hueco Desierto, Region 7 >

< Map Explored: 13.11%/100/00% >

"( Oh c'mon, there must be somewhere that I could hide!!! )" Shiro says as he then runs further for he then goes into a section of the Desierto that had many holes within it.

After entering the Area, Shiro then was immediately confronted by one of the Incursor Paquetes that chased him earlier he had to face by slicing and severing many body parts since this Hollow Incursor that he's fighting is a Centipede Hollow, named Muchas Piernas.

" Grrhh, too many feet!!! " Shiro tries to slash Piernas's feet but Piernas immediately rammed him as it deals CRIT DMG into Shiro at that very time, making his HP turned into 25.50% of his Total LVL 1 HP.

As it happens, Shiro then gets pissed as he then changes his strategy from attacking legs to jumping to Piernas's own mouth instead.

" Hahaha you fool, I'll eat you! " Piernas says as he swallows Shiro. our very main character.

After he swallows Shiro, Piernas then burps and says, " Exquisito... "

As he swallows Shiro, Piernas suddenly feels ill as his stomach was so hurt as if some of his innards are being slashed by something.

" La Mierda, my stomach hurts!!! " Piernas says while after minutes of suffering, Shiro then finally bursts out from his body, obtaining Piernas's Astral Core from him, eating it, and thus, making Piernas dead instantly.

" I got it... " Shiro says as he consumes it.

< Astral Core Consumed >

< HP +468 >

< Saving Astral Core's Data, Astral Core Data can be used to load some new skills. >

...

" I see, then if it's true, I should've also Level-... "

< Level Up Failed >

< Astral Core Error >'

...

" HUH!!! " Shiro shouts as he angrily asks the System to fix the 'error' immediately since he wants and needs to level up, in order to recover his HP in full.

" Dammit System! " He angrily protests.

" How long will you fix my Astral Core!? (\ _ /) "

" I want to Level Up. Now! " Shiro says in his very anger for the only thing that comes up into his mind is Level Up, the only way for him to get stronger rather than doing the System's constant training that Shiro thinks to be the torture of hell.

As he comments, the other Paquetes begin to approach Shiro for they then get him in their sights which Shiro then had no choice but to dodge and run. During his escape from them, he then sees a shadow from above, a large shadow of a bird.

" Oh goddammit no... " Shiro says as he sees upwards which made him realize that Cráneos Buitres, the Paquetes leader is flying above him and he then flies towards him to catch him with incredible speed.

" Oh no, I'm too late! " Shiro says as he tries to dodge Cráneos's attacks which unfortunately is futile since he still gets hit by it, wounding him badly until his HP is just around 40 he then rolls into the below sand valley which makes him weak as his damage was too much for him to bear as he's also having a hard time to rebalance himself again to even stand against them.

" Have you turned down 'Pequeño (little) Ordinario'? " Cráneos says as he confronts Shiro as he then grabs him again but decides to make sure that his head had some distance from Shiro.

" Grkkhhh... " Shiro grunts as he was being pressed again by Cráneos.

" It seems that you had some great potential for being an Ordinario Hollow. "

" But it's so sad, that I have to do things with you here," he says as he tells Shiro that this is a waste of time, due to Cráneos being disappointed that he gets the wrong kind of meal and also, Shiro doesn't have any sufficient energy and taste to even make Cráneos felt hungry.

" Eat him, boss, eat him! " The other Hollow Incursor says as Cráneos grips Shiro's body.

" No..., he's too insufficient to even be edible... "

" This 'Ordinario (Normal)' Hollow, deserves a more dishonored end than being transported inside our stomachs!!! "

" For even crushing our hope of having a good meal with his mere looks! " Cráneos says he then walked for a bit, as he then walks near the quicksand area called the 'el Desierto Devorador', the place where the Spiritual Desert eats some unfortunate Astrals.

" Quick... sands... " Shiro says as he sees the place in his back.

As he tries to free himself, Cráneos then gives Shiro some unimportant monologue before even telling on how would he execute Shiro at this moment where he just bluntly tells Shiro that he will toss Shiro into the quicksand pit which he immediately does so by flying upwards into the skies and then drops Shiro into the quicksand, sucking him in inside.

When it happens, Cráneos and his Paquetes immediately retreated into their nest for they will take some rest after dealing with Shiro as he then enters the place under the Pits of sand.

< Mission Failed >

< Astral Player lost. >
