Chapter 13: New Skill and Upgrades!

Stark hesitated for a moment, pondering how to allocate his skill points.

He could upgrade domination all the way to level 3, or maybe upgrade both domination and focus to level 2…

In the end, he decided that it didn't matter as he would get more skill points as he leveled up.

[You have upgraded 'Domination' to level 2!]

[You have upgraded 'Focus' to level 2!]

With that, he should be slightly stronger than before.

[Note: Skills can only be upgraded up to level 10 (without a skill upgrade stone), the rest depends on stats, class, weapon and the strength of the skill]

'Domination should be a really powerful skill… shouldn't it?' after all he was able to do more than 1000 points of damage if he hit the enemy right.

Although he had no real way to know if it was more than others since he had only ever seen Daniel deal 357 to him.

[You have slain two "decaying corpses lvl6", gained 1200EXP]

[You have slain "cursed dog lvl7", gained 721EXP]

[You have slain two "Black Rats lvl7", gained 1240EXP!]

[Experience: 8798/10000]

Soon enough, Stark found himself in the level 10 area, there were no signs of life there either, just broken buildings and solitary, twisted trees that had been bent by the ravages of time.

With a deep breath, he stepped forward and the world around him turned darker than previously.

[The rays of the Black Sun seem to be hitting harder here, the monsters are stronger and more aggressive]

This explanative text appeared right as he entered, making him wonder if he shouldn't turn back and wait for other people to come as to increase his odds of safety.

But no…

"Get yourself together, Stark, these fools don't believe in you, and they would probably sacrifice you if it came to it," he slapped both his cheeks, and took a step toward the level 10 area of the [City Ruins].

As Stark continued his journey through the rift, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

There weren't any decaying corpses, cursed dogs or black rats in here anymore, making it weird as he had gotten used to these fellas.

It didn't take long for the first creature to appear though.

As he passed in between two giant buildings, something grabbed his legs.

"-103!"

"Ouch!" he looked to see that a shadowy hand coming out of the ground had grabbed him and hurt his legs, some blood pouring out from them.

[Name: Shadow Figure]

[Level: 10]

[HP: 1100]

[Strength: 82]

[Stamina: 12]

[Speed: 105]

[Defense: 12]

[Skills: Grab; Shadow Step]

Seeing that its defense was extremely low, Stark took his chance and focused his aura around his leg before kicking the shadow in the face.

The "Shadow Figure" was a monster that could hide in between shadows to take classifiers by surprise, you would usually be able to see them because of their bright yellow eyes that were easily noticeable, but unfortunately enough, Stark had no experience so he didn't pay attention.

And as Stark attacked the shadow with his foot…

"-1427!"

The shadow vanished once it was killed.

'Holy shit, that's a lot of damage!'

[You have slain "Shadow Figure lv10", gained 1300EXP!]

And right afterward, he was surrounded by the familiar golden glow.

[Your level has increased to level 4, granting you one skill point and boost in stats]

[Experience: 98/15000]

Stark was happy he was finally able to upgrade his level and become stronger, but the itch in his leg reminded of him of the sudden attack he had just survived.

[HP: 147/250]

'Hm,' his level was upgraded, and his HP also went up, but it seemed like he wasn't actually able to refill his health without the proper skills/items, meaning he would need to be extra careful.

[You have upgraded 'Domination' to level 3!]

He also didn't waste time and immediately upgraded his domination skill in case he forgot.

And so he kept going, his journey inside the dungeon far from over as the goal of all the participants was to defeat the boss.

The person that would defeat the boss would obviously get the dungeon rewards while also keeping their identity hidden since except if they were in a party, no one would really know.

Until then, everyone would have to keep fighting in the dungeon and risk their lives, the test not over it is confirmed that its boss was dead.

[You have slain "Shadow Figure lv10", gained 1300EXP!]

[You have slain "Decaying Corpse lv10", gained 1100EXP!]

[You have slain "Ghoul lv11", gained 1500EXP!]

[Your level has increased to level 5, granting you one skill point and boost in stats]

[Experience: 550/25000]

Before long, Stark was able to reach level 5, enveloped by the familiar golden glow after killing more enemies.

Without a second thought, he decided to open up his panel to check his stats.

[Level:] 5

[HP:] 297/400

[Bloodline:] Human

[Class:] Domination

[Info about class:] The first Domination Trial is coming soon, be ready…

[Talent:] Chosen one

[Attributes:] Strength 17; Speed 14; Mind/Soul 26; Stamina 18; Defense 12

[Skills:] Spatial Inventory; Class Wheel; Perception; Domination lv3; Focus lv2

'Hm…' Stark's stats had indeed improved, but what interested him the most was that he had unlocked a new skill.

[Level 5 Reached: please pick a card]

3 different cards appeared in front of him, the three of them painted with a grey color, their front impossible to see from his position, and although he tried to turn around, the cards would obviously just turn as well, making it impossible to check what they contained.

[Each of these cards hold a skill, choose one randomly]

'I'll have to try and get a mirror to see if I can cheat the system…' Stark's first thought as he saw the three cards was to find a way to cheat his way to success.

But realizing it wasn't possible for now, he took a deep breath and decided to take a chance. He reached out and picked one of the cards at random.

As he did, the card flipped over to reveal its front, showing a picture of a glowing fist.

[Skill: Aura Smash]

[Type: Uncommon]

[Level: 1]

[Description: Unleash a devastating punch that deals damage based on the amount of aura used, it is perfect for ranged enemies, and has a 30% chance to stun the target, cooldown of 30 seconds between each use]

Stark's eyes widened as he read the description. This could potentially be a game changer, especially if he was able to stun his enemies first, plus he was already beginning to think that fighting hands-to-hands with enemies that can infect him was bad.

Below the skill description was some sort of stickman animation, the stickman which represented Stark focusing his aura in his hand before throwing a punch, and a giant crimson fist of aura launching itself toward some enemies.

[Aura Smash has been added to your skill list]

'I'll have to try that later, huh…'

He kept going, but of course not before using his skill point.

[You have upgraded 'Aura Smash' to level 2!]

Chapter 14: The First Bonfire

[You have slain "Ghoul lv11", gained 1500EXP!]

[You have slain "Flesh Monster lv10", gained 1350EXP!]

Stark kept advancing through the level 10 area, able to kill most of the monsters in one hit, only the 'flesh monsters' posed a challenge, their sturdy bodies requiring three strikes to take them down due to their massive 2000HP pool.

He hadn't had the opportunity to use [Aura Smash] yet since most enemies came alone, and he felt like it was a waste of time to try something that could reveal his location.

It wasn't long until he found an opportunity though, because as he began turning the corner of a seemingly empty street, he saw a hord of monsters, at least ten of them, just grouping around, looking at the sky, specifically at the Black Sun.

'…' Stark stared at the lot.

"Aura Smash, activate!"

One of his hands began glowing with a crimson aura, brighter than it ever had been before.

'Looks like using this skills makes it so that most of my aura focus's on this hand…' he analyzed the skill as he used it, thinking about its weaknesses as using too much aura meant he was left defenseless if anything happened, his aura wasn't infinite after all.

Luckily, it wasn't the case this time, and so he was able to test out his ability.

Closing one of his eyes for precision, he adjusted his hand to aim in the middle of the hord of monsters.

And although it took him some time since it was his first time using it, he finally unleashed his skill.

He threw a punch, and a giant crimson fist of aura flew out of his hand, aimed towards the monsters.

It followed a trajectory Stark perfectly calculated, and after a few seconds, the aura impacted with the group of monsters, falling in the middle of them as they were all watching the sky.

~BOOM~

A massive explosion of aura hit the monsters, and the damage numbers appeared soon enough.

"-1938!"

"-1648!"

"-1293!"

The closer they were to the middle, the more damage they received, and by the end of the explosion, only one monster remained: a ghoul that had been a bit farther from the group.

It was looking at its dead companions, confused as to how all of them died in an instant, but unable to move as it was stunned.

[HP: 539/1350]

[Status Effect: Stun]

It also received a fair amount of damage, so it only took Stark one simple punch for the Ghoul to fall to the ground.

"Jackpot," Stark thought to himself, impressed with the power of his new skill.

"Aura Smash" was indeed a game-changer, allowing him to attack massive groups of monsters and also be allowed to use it from afar, although it did take him awhile to aim.

Maybe it would become even stronger when his domination skill and aura would level up, but until then, he was satisfied.

[You have slain three "Ghouls lv11", gained 4500EXP!]

[You have slain four "Decaying Corpses lv10", gained 4400EXP!]

[You have slain two "Black Priests lv12", gained 3500EXP!]

[Experience: 15800/25000]

'Hehe~' he was secretly proud of himself for that, wouldn't anyone be after growing stronger, but of course he didn't let it show on the outside, although there was nobody around.

He kept going after that.

But after focusing his attention far into the street ahead, he saw something weird: there was a giant fire burning.

'Huh?'

He approached it cautiously, not knowing what to expect. The fire was so large that it lit up the entire street, casting a warm and safe glow upon the surroundings, different from the darkness.

'A bonfire…?' he made sense of what it was when he was close enough.

But his view wasn't his only sense that was being triggered right now, his ears too.

He heard a faint music, and a voice singing in the direction of the bonfire?

'Humans? Are these guys dumb, they are going to attract monsters!' he began running in the direction of the bonfire, it was only a kilometer in front of him, so not that far.

[You have slain a "Ghoul lv11", gained 1500EXP!]

[You have slain a "Shadow Figure lv10", gained 1300EXP!]

On his way, he had to kill some monsters, but they didn't even put a dent on him.

He was now only 100 meters away from the bonfire.

~Laling Lalang~

The music intensified as he approached, now able to hear another person sing alongside it.

"And when the fire of your heart burns~ Nothing will be left for them to take~"

Only 50 meters.

"The light at the end is growing~ And it transcends everything I know~"

As he approached the 10 meters mark, the heat from the roaring bonfire licked at Stark's skin.

He could feel the warmth enveloping him, creating a sense of safety and comfort that he had not felt in a long time.

And suddenly, as if entering a different realm, Stark felt at ease for the first time.

"Oy~ Looks like someone else joined us!" one of the boys sitting on the ground next to the bonfire called out with a smile.

His short brown hair was ruffled and a scar adorned his right eye. In his hands, he held a yukulele which he had been playing to lift the mood.

Beside him sat another boy with black hair and a blank expression. He had been singing along with an unchanging expression this whole time, his magic staff resting beside him.

"Didn't expect someone else to come here so soon, and alone at that!" the yukulele player nodded in agreement, almost as if he was acknowledging Stark's strength.

"What is this…?" Stark asked, confused, he had felt a shiver run down his spine once he approached the bonfire, a feeling of safety taking over him.

"Hm… it's weird that you don't know, but I might as well use my knowledge to help ya~" the brown-haired man got up and brushed off the dirt from his ass , then pointed at the bonfire, "This thing is the halfway point of the rift, it serves as a landmark."

"Hm," Stark nodded.

"But that's not all," he smiled, "You see that sun above you right?"

"The Black Sun?"

"Yep yep," he nodded, "The more you stay under it, the more cursed you are."

And just as he said, when Stark thought about the black sun curse, a panel appeared in front of him.

[Black Sun Curse: 74%]

But right as he saw that…

[Black Sun Curse: 73%]

'It's going down?'

"The bonfire allows you to remove the black sun curse from your body, that's why the two of us are waiting!"

"Oh well… I hope you don't mind if I join you then," Stark kneeled down to sit on the ground, then quickly noticed that there were several monsters beside them, so he immediately got up and prepared himself to fight.

"They won't attack, they can't attack when you are near the bonfire…" the black-haired boy spoke for the first time.

"What's your name by the way," the yukulele player asked.

"…" Stark thought for a second, giving his real name wouldn't be beneficial, especially if they knew he was THE Stark, "Stalk," he answered on a whim.

"What a weird name…" he laughed, "The name's Kent, and the gloomy guy beside me is Bill!"

And just like that, Stark sat on the ground beside the bonfire, waiting for the curse of the Black Sun to go before he could continue.

After all, Stark did not plan to stick together with anyone, he would take the boss by himself.
