10. Hostile Player, New Evolution and System Rank!

Vincent was still in the mines to acquire ores to geared up his own soldiers to mow down the players and get more of the juicy Kill Points.

He peeked into his own information panel.

'Even though my skill quality and amounts are good, that doesn't mean I can effortlessly stomp those players, and due to the existence of talents, the players combat prowess could be unpredictable,' He thought to himself before mining a whole amethyst geode "Oh, an abandoned mineshaft! I don't think I need anything from it and I already waste time in underground long enough, well, I'm going to explore ya later, Mineshaft."

He disappeared and return to the surface.

He noticed something… why the fuck are the mobs standing in the middle of the desert without anything covering them!?

The Zombies Trio and the skeletons were burning uncontrollably as the witch tried to help them by throwing them Potion of Harming to them.

While I tried to pull out the bucket of water quickly, I noticed another notification.

[Akshavak Louvre, Jawless, Left Handed, Skeleton 1 and Skeleton 2 is undergoing an Evolution!]

'Ah, I forgot to name the skeletons… wait! Evolution!?' He was slightly startled by the information but quickly regained his composure.

…

Soon after that, the evolution finished and Vincent quickly noticed their changes.

[Zombies have endured harsh environments of the deserts and the unforgiving burning sunlight that will burn undead like themselves, they developed an ability to resist and be immune to sunlight like the living, the Zombie also developed an ability to resist and absorb extreme heat, due to the absorbed sunlight enhancing the physical body the Zombie developed a stronger body that could withstand heavy blows and deals explosive damage.]

[Skeleton that endured the torture of being burned managed to absorb the flames as their own, their bones became immune to heat and flames while their body was burned with the immortal fire of willpower, to support their new ability the Skeleton acquired the ability to manipulate their flames for defense, offense or enhance their physical attack or allies, anything that tried to approach the Skeleton must be extremely resistant to flames to even be able to scratch them.]

[Evolutio n Information]

[Evolved Species: Zombies (Evolved)]

[Evolution Rewards: Sunlight Immunity (Zombie form), Heat Absorption, Strong Body]

[Evolved Species: Skeletons (Evolved)]

[Evolution Rewards: Fire Immunity, Fire Armor, Fire Manipulation]

"Crazy…" He muttered as he stared at the rewards.

[After evolving a Species, each of the member of said species will automatically evolved when under your influence.]

"This seems to be making me too overpowered isn't it? Unlocking mods or talents seem kind of worthless now that I can easily crush all the players with only these evolved bastards…" He couldn't stop thinking about the possibilities as these two mobs were already something that was extremely strong.

***

[You have killed a player, your affiliation will be temporarily transformed into the Neutral Camp.]

[You will be deemed as Hostile Player]

"Huh?" One of the Black Skull member muttered confused.

"Um boss? What is this Hostile Player thing?" He asked the previous three star badge leader.

"Don't worry about that, Hostile Player is something along the lines of penalty of killings other players… but who cares? It doesn't give us any disadvantage." He explained before he shot one of the people who ran away with an arrow on the thighs.

Approaching the fallen player, the leader pulled out a stolen Iron axe and when he just right on top of the player he caved the skull with an axe.

He cleaned his mask from the blood and muttered "This game is extremely realistic, I almost vomit at these sights!"

***

"System, what's the matter with these color beside the talent?" Vincent asked.

[It was the rank/grade of the skill]

"Okay then please explain the hierarchy"

[The hierarchy of the talent rank is from the weakest to strongest:

White → Green → Purple → Blue → Gold → Red → Black → Rainbow

There's no rank beyond Rainbow in the color ranking hierarchy but on the other ranking system they exist.

For example the 'True Immortality (EX)' you saw on Joshua Gray's information panel is forcibly transformed into the alphabet ranking system due to its heavily surpassing the Rainbow rank.

The hierarchy for the alphabet ranking system is far more vast than the color ranking, for example:

FFF → FF → F → E → D → C → B → A → AA → AAA → S → SS → SSS → EX

Each of these ranks have their version of negative (-) and postive (+) that indicates a lower rank, middle rank and upper rank.

There's also Omniversal scaling system, this system use a more advanced version of the alphabet ranking system.]

"Why didn't you explain the Omniversal scaling system?" Vincent asked curious.

[The information is irrelevant for your current strength, this world although a Mega Universe weren't the original timeline nor the multiverse, it was a duplicate of the original Minecraft verse.]

"Wow, that's interesting…" He muttered before asking "Can you convert the ranking system into the alphabet one? I would prefer to not be bound by smaller limitation if I have access to have the better one."

[That would roughly takes 2 hours.]

"That's quite a short period of time." He said.

[It wasn't that huge of a problem as the replacement of the ranking system wouldn't take much time, the bigger problem is the synchronization process.]

"Alright, take your time." He said.

…

While mining before, Vincent had also found a skeleton spawner before he found the mineshaft and he's going to make a battalion of burning skeletons.

He also managed to tame a horde of Husk on the way, they are surprisingly not the same as normal Zombies.

'Note to self: Next time, I need to also tame strays and drowned…' He thought to himself as he witness the Evolved Zombies and newly tamed Husk mowing down the hordes of lonely players.

[+1 KP]

[+1 KP]

[+1 KP]

[+16 total KP obtained]

The corpses of the players awaken yet again through Zombification.

The Husk doesn't give him anything special but he's happy nonetheless.

[Taming Information]

[Taming Species: Husk (Tamed)]

[Taming Requirement: Kill a Husk just before it turned into normal Zombie - 1/1]

[Rewards: Hunger Touch (Other rewards overlapped with Zombies)]

Vincent smiled as he walked through the forest to start his first slaughter as the players are going crazy in the world channel and forum.

[Oh my god! I saw something strange! There's a legion of monsters that was killing newbies in the desert of the west!]

[Which way is the west?]

[The place where the sun goes down!]

[Monsters? What kind? There's no way they're that strong, even if there's many of them we will just need to create a trap! Trap will be enough to deal with those dumb piece of code!]

[Is there any monster girls?]

[Kys you degen, the world will be a better place if you die.]

[Cope, I will only die if my head was crushed between the thigh of a mommy!]

[I was one of the victim of this legion, I saw a dark-skinned Zombie, a buff Zombie, a taller and bigger zombie version of those bald headed and big nosed npc, a huge slimes, a thing similar to those npc but have witch hat that throw bottles, wolves, huge ass spiders and a damn burning skeleton from hell!]

[Woah! Crazy! Are you sure you aren't delusional?]

[I never saw all of those mobs before tho? Are you sure you aren't experiencing digital hallucinations?]

[I have uploaded a photo in the forum, see it for yourself.]

In the forum.

[*Blurry photo of the legion*]

[Oh my god!]

[That witch kinda bad though ngl]

[Agreed homie]

[Two people above me aren't going to heaven]

[Lol]

[Wkwkwkwkwkwkwk]

[Is this an event?]

[Probably a special events]

[But… what's the thing on the two white dots on the slimes?]

[Where?]

[On top of the slimes.]

[Are you crazy? There's nothing on there or I'm just blind.]

[Crazy? I was crazy once, they locked me in a room a rubber room…]

[Not funny, didn't laugh]

[:((((((((]

[Try again next time, clown]

This slaughter will mark the starts and birth of the Devil of Minecraft and the Demon King, the ruler of monsters.
