…

'Wow. I thought it was gonna be good. But not this good. All the skills completely complement each other. Plus their cooldown isn't a big issue given that my soldiers can delete enemies rather quickly. Alright well, that's that. Let me pull up my stats.' Enzo thought to himself, letting out a gasp.

(A/N: I am using 2.6*Strength for Attack Power until level 5. 2.6*Intelligence for magical attack power. 1 Movement speed/1.34 Attack Speed for every 1 Agility until level 5(Will say this didn't transfer because that'd make him too fast. So its Agility*.25 for attack speed and Agility*.2 for movement speed.)

Free Attribute Points: 36

'Very good, my stats stayed the same. It would've sucked if I had to grind them again. Plus the RNG God was on my side. I didn't have to invest too much points on Strength or Agility. Anyways, what should I do now? It's been a couple of hours, not nearly as long as when Shi Feng played, but thats because he didn't have summons.' Thought Enzo as he began leaving the library. He was kind of walking mindlessly as he couldn't really remember what Shi Feng did. He knew he started making a lot of armor, but he didn't need to do it since he already had the exp for the portal. 

"Hello there sir, would you by chance like to have some of the best Fruit Juice around?! One cup for one bronze coin. For the best juice you'll ever have." Said nervously a young looking girl. She was on the skinny side, and looked rather cute. Maybe because of that one would think people would take the chance, but instead-

"Get out of here with that. That juice is just a virtual item, how the hell will I be able to taste it. Scram out of my sight before I make you." The 'Sir' she was talking to said as he pushed her with enough force to make her fall.

"Plop." 

Having fallen on her bottom, she was about to stand up when she saw a hand in front of her. Taking said hand, she was pulled up and was face to face with a naked player.

"Eeek!" She yelped as she saw the sight of a young man in his underwear.

"Why are you naked!" She asked, bringing her hands to her face. 

"What! Oh, sorry. So, so sorry. Please, don't contact the admins. I was robbed and killed, they took everything I owned. Please, believe me!" The young man in front of her said as he lowered his head, his arms out in front of him, clasped together. The whole sight looked rather pitiful. Especially to the surrounding players who started laughing, some even recording him.

Enzo, who was the flasher, was really worried his first interaction with any players was gonna be him getting reported because he was flashing. Luckily, he soon heard giggling, so he looked up and saw the young girl holding her stomach, laughing at him. There was others laughing too, but beauty's come first right? 

Standing upright, he scratched the back of his head as he extended a hand. 

"My names Enzo." He said.

"Violet." She said still giggling, as she shook his hand. 

"Well nice meeting you Violet, I better get going." Enzo said.

"Wait, here. As thanks." She said, gifting him a Fruit Juice beverage.

"Thank you. See you around Violet." Enzo said. Running as far away as possible. How could he forget he sold all his items. It was because of his create armor skill that he forgot his actual game avatar was naked. 

Soon after running, a bell chime was heard as Enzo received a notification. 

[Violet Cloud has requested to be friends with you. Do you accept?]

"Yes." Enzo said.

'My first friend. Mwaahahaha.' Enzo thought to himself with a grin on his face. He might not have mentioned it, be he was a big nerd in his previous life. He focused on his studies and his hobbies. He had friends but, he never truly made connections. Now was his chance. Maybe not with Violet since he remembered she was like 17 when the novel started. But with others. He knew Gentle Snow was a good target since she was cold-hearted but she was a good friend. He also really wanted his own Blackie or Yu Jin Ho. Either way, he was going to make some friends. Maybe not party with them, but to at least chat with. 

***

After dealing with the being naked problem… He's abusing Stealth... Enzo got on the web page forums and started a new one. 

"Selling the layout map of the Red Leaf's Dungeon. Highest bidder wins it." 

It was simple, yet direct. He got it verified by officials and it was approved. So now he just needed to get some bids and the highest one would get it, the money of course would go into his wallet. 

He then went to the auction house and auctioned off a load of loot he got. From the stuff previously sold, he got around 34 Silver. Which was pretty good. 

After doing all this, he decided it was time to stop deliberating and get rid of the curse. Especially since he didn't want to grind forging just yet. Plus fighting monsters was more fun. 

[ Activate Portal? ]

"Yes." And just like that, he was transported to another map.

***

'Chilly.' Enzo thought as he looked around. This new area he was in was surrounded by trees, mountains, and wet muddy terrain. He could also sense numerous animals hiding in the thick fauna. Waiting for an opportunity to pounce. 

"This is going to be fun." He thought with a devilish smile on his face. Having said so, he extended his arms and said.

"Exterminate them." And immediately after, 2,000+ summons popped out, each of them running towards the nearest sign of life. 

Very soon, not even a minute of being here, Enzo had began his massacre. Although, when he saw the huge amount of Exp, he almost collapsed. Because the monsters here were lvl 9, he was getting a 900% increase in exp, he was getting 450 exp per kill. Which was crazy. However, he got soon got over it when he saw how fast his summons were taking care of everything they saw, which made the system constantly chime the notification bell. Especially Floyd. He was close to one shotting them. So he shut off notifications and went about the massacre unbothered.

The creatures he was killing were mainly, 

[Shadow Leopards]. They were hidden in the trees or in the thick brush that littered the entire forest.

[Shadow Leopard] (Common Rank)

Level 9

HP 850/850 

They weren't the best, but help is help right? Plus it'd be cool to have mounts for his summons. 

***

After killing nearly the entirety of Shadow Leopards, he made his way out of the forest with 55 new Shadow Soldiers and into the clear plains. He saw numerous camps set up. At these camps were humanoid looking creatures. They wielded swords, axes, and clubs. They were pretty primitive looking though. As he got closer he entered Stealth, and continued to the middle of the encampment. Once there, he called out his summons and let them get to town. After a short while of saying "Arise." and looting bodies plus chests, he ran to the next one. 

… 

Just like that, almost 3 hours had passed. The whole time he had just been clearing camps left and right. Until he eventually found what he came for. 

"Raahh!!!"

[Mountain Beast Warrior] ( Special Elite)

Level 10 

HP 3500/3500

"Good. Floyd, take care charge of everyone and clear the camp except for him." Enzo said, as he pointed his sword at the Elite Warrior. He had invested all his attribute points, and now that he gained a couple levels from eliminating an entire map, he was excited to try out his strength.

Character: Enzo (Human)

Job: Shadow Monarch

Level 5(0% to level 6)

HP: ∞

MP: ∞

Physical Attack Power: 424(+29)

He once again got super lucky with the random 1s and 2s into strength, agility, and intelligence. 

…

As everything was about dead, Enzo let go of the Beast Warrior Elite he was holding with Ruler's Authority and got ready. He made his armor which was very similar to Igris' armor, equipped his sword, and activated his skills. 

Quicksilver, Bloodlust, and Blades of Shadows.

Getting a 50% increase in movement speed and attack speed, decreasing his enemies stats by 50% and creating 3 all black swords that hovered beside him. 

Getting into his stance, he motioned for the Elite Warrior to fight.

"Raaahhh!" It screamed, clearly annoyed at the human in front of it. He immediately ran towards Enzo, his giant club in hand. Even though their whole camp and the other surrounding camps were built almost primitively, this guy had iron or some sort of metal armor on. It was especially weird since he covered all his weak spots with the metal bits. 

"Boom!"

As the Elite Warrior swung his club, Enzo used Parry, creating a blast of dust and wood bits to go everywhere. 

Being that Enzo was lower level. He was blown away.

-67. -67. -67.

'Damn, even though I blocked he still did about 200 hundred damage. Good thing I got infinite health.' Enzo thought as he quickly dashed forwards.

Seeing the human in front of him coming for seconds, the Elite Warrior, kicked his club upwards with his leg and swung it down with enough force to crack the earth beneath him.

Dodge

Turning his body sideways at the last possible second, Enzo dodged the downwards strike and was able to swing his sword.

Chop, Mutilate.

Immediately, he did -453 damage in one go. After doing so he quickly retreated and used Stealth. After becoming invisible, he told his swords to attack the Elite monster.

"Arghh!" The Warrior winced in pain. It seemed he was struck yet again, this time Enzo was able to get a critical hit dealing -477, which he followed by another crit, -567. This time he instinctively knew he got the bleeding condition on the creature in front of him. 

Dealing almost half his health in one confrontation. Enzo retreated yet again and this time he used Blackout. Which rendered everyone inside blind even if the effect didn't take place. They only saw darkness. 

"Heurkkk!" Once again yelling. The Warrior started swinging his club madly, as he did a spin move. 

-453

-577

-657

Barely a second had gone by when the enraged Warrior started receiving injuries. On the last strike, the Warrior started screaming, which led to him entering Rage. Enzo saw this and decided to stop playing around. So as he swung his sword. He commanded the three other swords to attack.

-1,827 

In one fell swoop, he ended the Elite Warriors life. And with it came a new one.

"Arise." 

Enzo said as he extracted the shadow from the dead body. After which, he moved on towards the countless other bodies around him.
