Chapitre 7: Chapter 6-Beyond The Limit

Zach entered the 6th floor, and the first thing he noticed was the scenery and the temperature.

On the first five-floor, the temperature was neutral, and the dungeons looked like actual dungeons.

However, on the 6th floor, everything was different.

The temperature was cold, and the scenery was in the snowy mountains. But, the area was limited.

"Let's see…" He glanced around to confirm the monsters hadn't spawned yet.

'If it is a snowy area, then the only monster I can think of is—'

GROWL!

A snow wolf growled from the high ground and slowly approached Zach.

"Bingo!" Zach wasn't even thinking of wolves. He was thinking of polar bears, and bears don't look like wolves.

[Level 5. Snow Wolf! HP- 500/500.]

Zach jumped backward and stood at the edge of the dungeon floor to get a clear view of the area.

"I don't want another wolf to come and bite me," he muttered.

He waited for another wolf to appear, but to his surprise, there was only one wolf on floor 6.

"This doesn't look hard…" Zach made sure to keep some distance between him and the wolf.

The wolf jumped down and slowly walked to Zach while staring into his eyes as if it was looking at Zach as its prey.

The wolf circled around Zach as he also kept moving back to keep some distance between them.

Both Zach and the wolf were glaring into each other's eyes and walking in sync. Their legs were moving uniformly, as though both of them were waiting for the opponent to make the first attack.

Zack knew it was risky to fight the monster he had never fought before. He didn't even know what type of skill and attack the wolf might use.

After closing some distance with the wolf, Zach gripped his sword firmly and stepped forward to make the first move. However, the wolf did the same.

Zach took one step further, and the wolf walked one step ahead. Suddenly, the wolf jumped and swung his claw at Zach.

Zach dodged it, but he got a scratch and lost 9 HP.

[391/400]

'It's fast! But..'

The wolf once again started circling Zach and looked for the opportunity to attack. However, it was waiting for Zach to make a move so it could take him by surprise.

Zach used the same strategy again. He took one step closer, and so did the wolf. Then, instead of taking a few more minor steps, Zach ran past the wolf.

The wolf tried to attack Zach, but it was too late. He had cut the wolf into two from its jaw to tail.

"But I am faster," Zach uttered in a relaxed pose.

[Received 50 EXP!]

"What?!" Zach exclaimed. "Only 50?! But… I guess it's better than the 10 EXP from the goblins." Zach sighed in frustration and looked at the time.

"I wasted five minutes in this battle," he asserted. "I hope the next floor has more wolves, although I do need to be careful."

Zach entered the blue portal and proceeded to floor 7.

He stood in the center with his sword gripped tightly in his hand and uttered, "Let's hope there are five wolves."

'But… even if there are five wolves, I would only get 250 XP. I will need to defeat 47 more wolves…' Zach watched as three wolves surrounded him from all sides.

[Level 10. Fury Wolves! HP- 1000/1000.]

"Tch!" he clicked his tongue and uttered with his voice full of annoyance: "Only three. It seems the game is trying to stop me from reaching level 5."

'You won't get between me and my 5000 coins reward, you stupid game!'

Normally, any player would be happy if the monsters were low-numbered, but Zach was different. He wanted to reach level 5 as soon as possible. He was curious to see if the coins in-game were truly added to his bank account.

Up until now, Zach played the previous six floors seriously, but now he was about to play furiously.

He beckoned the wolf with his one hand and tossed the sword in fashion to make himself look cool, and he indeed looked cool.

Zach dashed at the wolves with his sword still in the air.

The first wolf jumped on Zach to attack him, but Zach simply punched the wolf in the face and killed it.

"Plus 500 ATK, baby."

The second wolf jumped on Zach from behind with its mouth wide open to devour Zach. Without looking back, Zach grabbed the wolf's tail and slammed the wolf on the ground.

Zach raised his hand in the air to grab his falling sword and stabbed the wolf into the abdomen.

Zach was so fast that everything happened in a matter of seconds.

The last remaining wolf jumped on Zach only to be cleaved.

[Received 150 EXP!]

EXP-350/2500

Zach looked at his EXP bar and murmured, "This is going to take a while, isn't it?"

"Well, I am already on floor 8, so I might as well just clear the first ten floors and complete another quest too." Zach decided. "It's going to be like spanking two butts at the same time."

That was something obvious.

Zach entered the 8th floor and uttered, "I am guessing this one will have five wolves."

As Zach had guessed, five wolves jumped down from the high ground.

[Level 15. Rogue Wolves! HP- 1500/1500.]

Zach knew that as he proceeded to the next floors, the wolves would only get stronger. They might not die in one hit, but Zach was aware that the wolf's weak point was their abdomen.

[Received 250 EXP]

After killing the five wolves, he entered the portal to proceed to floor 9.

"This one should have ten wolves," Zach proclaimed nonchalantly.

Ten pairs of red eyes glowed in the mist of the snow. Their size was double that of the level 10 fury wolves, and they had extra furs around their body, making it hard for the sword to cut through.

[Level 20. High wolves! HP- 2000/2000]

'I bet they are going to be called 'Royal wolves' on the next floor,' Zach sneered.

The mist eventually faded away, and the wolves jumped down from the high ground to play with Zach.

Author's Note- I skipped the fight on floor 8. Why? Because the fight was getting repetitive and I am sure you guys would be annoyed.

Also, leave a review.

Chapitre 8: Chapter 7-Tenth Floor

Zach cleaved the wolf and fell back on his butt to stab and slash the wolf above him.

[Received 500 EXP]

[Floor 9 has been cleared]

"Alright," Zach sighed. "Time to clear the tenth floor."

HP- 391/400

EXP- [1100/2500]

'Next floor will have a boss and maybe twenty wolves. So 1000 EXP from 20 wolves, and some more from the wolf boss. I hope I get enough to level up because I am extremely exhausted after running and fighting.'

Zach looked at the timer and saw only 12 minutes had left. He was feeling tired after fighting nonstop for 48 minutes. His current situation reminded him of the intense training of his childhood, where he had to train non-stop to achieve the daily goal.

Zach casually stepped into the tenth floor and was surprised to see the scene. There were 30 wolves and the king wolf.

The wolves were a little bigger than the last floor, and their furs looked hard.

[Level 25. Elite Wolves! HP- 2500/2500.]

The wolf king was almost five times the size of Zach. Its furs were sharp like horns, and its fangs and claws were longer than Zach's body.

[Level 50. Wolf Monarch! HP- 8500/8500.]

A level 4 player like Zach shouldn't be here. If it were any other player, they would have died on floor 6, if not on floor 7. While Zach managed to get on floor 10, which was nearly impossible for a solo player to clear alone at his stats.

Zach gulped down, not in fear but because he was suddenly feeling thirsty.

"I did not expect the jump from ten wolves to thirty," Zach uttered in a slightly disdainful tone after remembering he had a little hard time dealing with ten wolves at once on the last floor.

The problem with wolves was that they were fast. Zach wouldn't have any problem dealing with them if he was up against one or even five at once. But here, they were thirty.

What worse was, unlike the last boss floor— on the fifth floor, the goblin king was slow, and it wasn't moving much. Here, however, the wolf king was on the frontline, and it was guiding the wolves.

Zach was thinking of using the same strategy he used with the goblin king, where he pretended to attack the king to cross attack the goblins. But now, he needed a new plan.

Fortunately for Zach, he was trained for situations like this. Not surreal as his current one, but similar. He could easily adapt to the situation and think of a plan.

'Okay. I have decided what I am going to do.'

Zach was an optimistic person, and he always thought of bad happenings in a good way.

'If the number of wolves is more, then I can use it in my favor. I will have to attack more, but it will make it easier for me to do that because they will be in a pack.'

Zach dashed to the pack of wolves and started killing them. He had to strike more to kill them, which was annoying because he needed to look twice at their HP bar to make sure they had died.

[1 Wolf killed!]

He had increased his physical strength, which was affecting his ATK and boosting it.

[2 Wolves killed!]

The wolf king was looking for the right opportunity to attack Zach. It ordered the wolf to attack Zach one by one to lessen their casualties.

From the remaining 27 wolves, 10 wolves surrounded Zach by making a circle around him. And another ten wolves surrounded Zach by making a smaller circle—within the circle, around Zach. As for the other 7, they began to attack Zach one by one.

Zach gritted his teeth in annoyance as his plan to attack multiple wolves in one attack failed. However, he had already thought of another plan.

He plunged his sword in the snowy ground and stood in a fighting stance after rendering a correct form. Then, he dashed at the circle of the wolves and started attacking them with his bare fists.

[2 Wolves killed!]

Zach grabbed one wolf by its tail and tossed it on the pack of the wolves after swinging it from the other side. He made sure not to get too close to the pack and keep moving to confuse the wolves. He also made sure to stay close to his sword in case he needed to use it.

Zach's 623 ATK combined with 123 physical strength and 39 agility was truly helping him kill the wolves within two strikes.

[1 wolf killed.]

A wolf from the bigger circle sneakily tried to attack Zach from behind when he was dealing with the inner circle. However, Zach's senses were sharp, and his instincts had no flaws. He simply ran forward and jumped in the air. At the same time, the wolf that had jumped to attack Zach landed on the ground while Zach was in the air.

Zach smirked and drop-kicked on the wolf with a smug look on his face.

[3 wolves killed!]

Zach was out of breath after pulling all those moves, and he truly needed a rest. But that wasn't going to happen unless Zach had dealt with the remaining 21 wolves and the wolf king.

'I will first go to the pack and kill as many as I can. Then come back here and let the wolves follow me. After that, I will grab my sword and cut a few of them down. Hopefully, the numbers will be in a single-digit if everything goes as I planned.'

Zach took a deep breath and gazed at the remaining wolves as he waited for the wolves to line up so he could attack.
