The abode of beginnings

Almost twenty five Krokonov were spread across the floor. Red blood flowing like a river and the flesh of human and Krokonov alike mixed into a paste. It was a horrid sight.

"I... I can't take this anymore! If this is some kind of joke then please end this" a man with a horrified face said. Due to Klautz participating weak hearts like him have also survived.

"What the hell is this?" He didn't knew that he was truly in hell.

"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck."

Cries and curses existed everywhere.

"Fights in another world are so fun," said a man wearing gauntlets. He looked thrilled as he checked out the monster' carcass which he killed.

All of the Krokonov had been killed, but so many humans had also died in the process.

Including Klautz, fifty people had arrived at the temple. However, only 38 people were currently alive. Thirteen had died from fighting the Krokonov.

'Quite a few survived.'

He couldn't remember the exact number, back then, not nearly as this many people survived. Back then when he was summoned in this world the first time he was a puny weakling. He was able to survive this safepoint only by relying on others.

Not to mention he was treated with extreme cruelty. He had become their punch bag to let out their frustrations for getting summoned in this world. He had to do all their bidding just like a dog and that's how the weak him could survive this hell. He might be cursing his luck in those days. But, now that he looks back to those times he feels glad that he went through them and glad that he was alive.

Those experiences tempered his soul and made him, someone who was born in a cultured society and had never fought a battle, to sought out strength.

'At most twenty,' That was what his faint memory told him about the survival rate in this first onslaught. The weak are always weeded out here him being an exception.

However, today's result is different from the past.

Of course, it was mostly because Klautz alone was able to clear about half of the numbers of Krokonov. But he couldn't have done so without the aid of sacrifices.

<Only the strong can kill, only be ruthless and merciless. If there were no disparity in strength among humans would have been sins world, it a utopia.>

<The Satan despises utopias the most. The world should be riddled with sins. To you who are strong and stand out among masses, shall therefore cast its blessings.>

A viridescent holographic screen popped in front of Klautz. Certain text messages were displayed on the supposed screen.

<User can control the status screen at will>

<The 'Status Viewer' shows the status of person as well their activity log.>

Status Viewers are very important.

If it's not a person you completely trust, you should never show them your status. The status keeps a deep record of every user's strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, if one doesn't want to be easy prey they should never reveal it.

Klautz remembered extorting the status informations of the people he had killed from innocent bystanders. There was always some unlucky bystander to whom his target had already revealed their status records. It gave him an idea of the user's personality and his fighting style. Since he was a ninja most of his kills were swift and painless done from the shadows. He had rarely indulged in actual battles against people. Against monsters? Sure, but not against humans. Most of his techniques involve hiding waiting for the target and swiftly striking their vitals whenever he found an opening. A painless slaughter, not even allowing his target to scream in pain.

Thanks to this... He had more information than anyone else.

He even assassinated people who were thought to be impenetrable.

As he wished in his head to view his status, a viridescent hologram screen appeared in front of his eyes.

<Stats >

<Abilities >

<Skills >

<History >

<Other >

He first looked at the Stats.

And then, the hologram changed to show something else.

Strength 11 (10 + 1) Agility 13

Stamina 9 Intelligence 9 Wisdom 8

Special Note: None

As he was had equipped the Ninjato of Styx, his strength increases by 1.

If it wasn't for the strength, his Strength would have only been 10. In hellfeim, pieces of equipment comprise a major addition to the stats. His weapon now was a basic E rank sword so the stat boost is a measly 1 but as you go higher in the weapon tier, their stat boost increases. With good weapons, even weaklings can be strong if they have the resolve to protect their weapons in the first place. Hellfeim is a cruel place where all the good weapons are monopolized by the strong. These weapons are the very reason why the second gens could oppress people even though they are weak. Their strong families spoil them with these and they use these to torture the weak!
