Level Up.

With the rest of the monsters, now grinded to dust and experience points for my level up, My level to 999.

"Now, For the boss.. Guys comment down below if you think I can beat the boss!"

"Guys do you think he can beat the boss?"

"Yeah, The monsters are 20% of the Boss monster's full strength, they didn't pose a threat to him, as much I'd like to say, It might bring him trouble, but nah he'd win."

"So, You guys think I'm this weak huh? Here goes nothing!"

I rush towards the boss room, a minute after entering, the lights lit up.

"Fuck it, I don't have shit time to waste!"

I dashed towards the monster that had the appearance of a beautiful woman with a snake's lower body with her hair filled with snakes..

"Medusa!?"

"Guys the Greek legend of Medusa was found in the raid of a solo player!"

I ignored the comments and rushed straight into her attack range, wasting no time as I pulled out my Kuroka and beheaded it.

"The monster was this weak? Wasnt the boss like level 800 or so?"

"Due to some circumstances, I'd be ending the stream here! See you next time!

The comments flooded my stream as I shut the stream down.

"Level Up! Level 1000."

After countless hours of grinding levels to power up.

I had reached my limit.

With a swipe of my hand, the drop down menu appears, I choose the Status window.

"How do I even level up any further..?" I thought, I wondered if there was any better method to level up better and faster, if it wasn't because of buffs and equipments such as Excalibur and the outer world item Kuroka and buffs that I learned to use as magic swordmasters.

"I'm easily the strongest player in the current game stages, but according to a leak that was posted in the game's forum, 9 players were soon about to reach level 1000 themselves.

"This is troublesome, isn't it?" Said a man that came out of nowhere.

As I quickly move away from his area and get into a battle stance, he said; "don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you, I have news to deliver from the sender named as Vaericha, Address:Island within the walls; Arvendall.

"What? Her? Give me the letter, and stay away." He threw the letter to my side as I picked it up from the ground, before I could react, the man wearing a mask summoned his subordinates and attacked me.

Just because I let my guard down, their swords pierced through my organs, even my heart.

Just when my life was about to end, the man spoke once again..

"I know who you are... You're the son of Zioles from the heavens high above the comprehension of normal beings."

"You...! How do you know about my origins! And keep that name out of your shitty mouth." I said as his subordinates thrusted the sword inside me deeper, becoming stronger as each thrust.

"Hmh." He lifted his hand and dropped it down as in sign language to make them stop attacking.

The attackers obeyed as the man behind the mask grabs his mask and tries to remove it.

After countless failed attempts, He yelled at me and said "Why do you think I cannot remove this mask!? Why!?"

"I do not know and do not wish to know.." I replied.

"All because of your stupid father.. Using his fire techniques to burn my flesh, soon the mask became a part of me as it joined itself with me.."

"Then why are YOU trying to kill ME!?"

"WHAT A FATHER HAS DONE, THE SON HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES! NOW DIE!"

"Can I say my last words?"

"Go on ahead, you're already about to die."

"Use 9th inventory item, Status recovery."

"Bracelet of the Orc tribe:Status recovery, usable till 5 times, 4 times remaining.

Recieved from defeating the hidden boss, Alancer."

My pain disappeared, my body became lighter, I was feeling awesome, My health points recovered to 100% with 50% of my max health boosted for an hour.

"Who did you say was gonna die?"

"Why you fu-"

"Berserker Armor, Aura!" The red aura released by the skill soon filled the forest, time had slowed just for me in that specific area.

"You're too slow!"

The eyes of the man in the mask moved, It shouldn't be possible unless his level is higher than mine, the body flinched a bit before breaking into the Berserker Aura Field.

Now, The two of them were the only ones who were capable of moving were staring each other down.

"System Notification!!"

"Ah shit wrong timing!"

A sword slash released from the man was directed at my direction, the notification blocked my vision and I was cut, Though it couldn't penetrate through the Customised Armor I made through the black overcoat and the chestplate made of dragon scales from the red dragon, it's power was still overwhelming.

The pressure alone made the sword slash push me further back down.

It seemed almost impossible for me to win, till I checked the hidden notification.

"Hidden Quest:Defeat Maze, The man in the mask.

Reward:Exp till the level of 1100, All skills of the opponent."

"Fuck... He expects me to beat this monster..? The expectations of the system is getting wilder and wilder as days pass by.."

"AAH! FUCK IT! YOU KNOW WHAT! IM GONNA PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE, THE REWARD IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT ALL!!"

"What are you blabbering on about?" The man seemed creeped out by my actions.

"Kuroka, Excalibur, SUMMON!"

The blue pixels formed Kuroka on my right hand and Excalibur on the left.

"Berserker Armor! V5, limit break!"

Instead of summoning the heavy shiny armor from the past, It was a covering, it protected me from any other forms of attacks that deal damage, whether it be poison, basically nullifying any element that is harmful to me.

"Cursed Twin Blades, Disintegrate into the air."

"Magic Swordsmanship!"

The element of Light imbued in the Excalibur while the element of Dark was imbued in the Kuroka.

"Summon The Undead."

All the enemies I killed thus far, had their souls and bodies come to life with my Mana forming a countless army of undead.

"I'm prepared!"
