บท 55: Chapter 49
[ If the host has any question, please ask the System. ]
'' So, what are you exactly. '' Naruto asked.
[ We are called by many names, but we are called the System. We aid the many species of the void to strengthen them for an upcoming threat that is to come. ]
'' What is this threat you talk about? ''
[ I have no authority to answer that. ]
'' Ok... So what is this? '' Naruto asked pointing to his floating screen in front of him.
[ That is called Status, it show the host current stats expressed in a numbers. Levels are like barriers that requires a certain amount of experience to breakthrough. And once broken through, the host will be rewarded with skills and attribute points that can improve the host attributes. ]
'' Hmm...'' Pondered for a moment, '' I got the gist of it. So how do get this experience ? ''
[ The host can gain experience by killing enemies. Experience or EXP, gained from an enemy can vary. The number of EXP a person has depends on many factors, but the two important factors are Age and Levels. The higher they are, the more EXP the person has. ]
'' So then, why is my level and my attributes very low? ''
[ That is because the System takes in the host current status as the default status. ]
Naruto immediately knew how broken his status is. If what the system said is true then, his brothers will also have the same attributes as him. But since he stronger that them, any attributes he adds to himself, he would still or be more stronger than them, even if they had the same attributes as him. This was a great way for him to get stronger at a very short amount of time.
'' So if I killed anything in the trial, my level will increase right ? ''
[ Yes ]
'' Alright, let's do the trial then! ''
[ Please choose your Class first. You can choose only one class ]
'' Ok. let's see. ''
[ Available classes ]
• Warrior
• Mage
• Tank
• Assassin
'' Hmm... '' Naruto looked at his options first. He won't choose Tank or Assassin, because that was not his style of fighting. Warrior was also a no no, because he was already good at it. The last choice was Mage, although he did not have many active skills, he had too much chakra and Aura. It would be a waste if he did not use them to the fullest. So in the end he choose Mage.

With Naruto...
'' Alright lets begin this trail! ''
Naruto began to fall into the darkness, after a few seconds of falling into the darkness, his feet landed on some hard surface.
He scanned his surroundings looking for anything that was going to be a threat.
He was at a corridor which was like a prison, Where there were rows and rows of prison cells. It was dimly lit, with the only light source was the torches hung on the walls.
Naruto on sensing any threat, he began to walk ahead of the Corridor. He saw that inside the cells, were filled with bones, probably belong to a human. Some were complete nude, some had rotting rags as clothing, some even had armour and weapons with them. There were some dead bodies that looked liked dry husk and some were still roting.
Naruto walked a bit more when his instinctively swung Despair behind him. It made a blunt impact on whatever it hit. Naruto saw that he just hit a human skeleton, but with the heavy blade of Despair, it was utterly destroyed.
[ Skeleton has been slain ]
[ 5 EXP has been rewarded ]
The feeling of EXP flowing into one's body was quite a refreshing feeling. It was just like the feeling of a pleasant breeze during summer.
But Naruto had not time to enjoy this feeling, because trouble just found him. The bones inside the prison cells began to shake and rattle. The empty husk and the roting bodies began to twitch violently. The Skeletons began to form into human shape, The empty husk and the roting bodies began to stand up and drag themselves towards Naruto.
'' What the Fuck is going on ? '' Naruto cursed.
'' You are under attack. '' Fog's said inside Naruto's mind.
[ The host is under attack by the Undead prisoners ]
'' Well I can see that. '' Naruto said obviously understanding his current situation.
[ Quest recieved: D - Rank
You are under attack by the Undead prisoners. Eliminate them before they eliminate you.
Rewards:
• 100 EXP
• New Title: Undead hunter
Enemies remaining: 750
Quest cannot be rejected ]
'' I don't know what's the fuck this quest thing is. '' Naruto said, '' But I'm pretty sure, I'm gonna get get rewarded for killing them all right? ''
'' Of course. '' Fog said with a chuckle. '' Have fun killing them. ''
'' You bet I will. '' Naruto stood in his battle stance. With one heavy swing of his sword, he completely destroyed the skeletons that was in his range.
[ 10x Skeletons have been slain ]
[ 50 EXP has been rewarded ]
'' Now this is FUN!!! '' Naruto was very excited at the moment. He could kill as much as he want and he was getting rewarded as well. Along with the flow of experience entering inside his body, he could get addicted to this feeling.
Naruto wanted to test his newly acquired skills, so he tested one out.
He extended his left arm, '' Fireball. '' Naruto hand was engulfed in fire, which then began to form into a ball. He tossed the flaming ball of fire at a Skeleton, the fire ball flew straight towards the chest of the skeleton, creating a small explosion that completely destroyed the skeleton along with a group skeletons around it.
'' Woah! Fuck yeah! ''
The carnage continued as Naruto continued to hack and slashed through the almost unending numbers of the Undead. The Skeleton, Dry husk and the zombies were moving at such a slow pace, it became too easy for Naruto not to miss.
Five minutes later, Naruto had cleared the entire corridor full of Undead. Some of the Undead, after being slain, turned into dust leaving some item, while some did not.
Currently, there was only one Undead left, it was an Undead knight. It was wearing a full set of steel armour, with a sword and a shield It was fighting quite well with Naruto, as it seemed to deflect each of Naruto vicious swings with its shield.
'' Time to end this !!! '' Naruto roared as he threw Despair like a spear towards the Undead Knight.
The Undead, tried to deflect the sword, but the force was too much for it. The impact caused it to trip, exposing its front body to Naruto, as he rushed towards the Undead, grabbing its skull, along with its helmet.
Naruto had it in his Iron claw. He exerted so much Pressure on it, that the helmet began to deform, the Undead knight met its demise, when Naruto completely crushed it with his Iron claw.
[ Undead Knight has been slain ]
[ 15 EXP has been rewarded ]
'' That was fun. '' Naruto said as he inspected his status. During the carnage, Naruto had manage to level up and now with this quest done he could level up once more.
[ Quest completed ]
[ 100 EXP has been rewarded ]
[ You have Leveled up ]
[ New Title Acquired:
The Undead Hunter: The host deals 10% more damage to any Undead as long as this Title is active. ]
[ Do you want to activate this title ]
[ Yes/No]
'' If this trial, is gonna be just about Undead, then why not. '' Naruto accepted the Title.
Naruto was a little now, '' What should I do next? ''
'' You see those things those Undead left behind. '' Fog pointed out to the many glass bottles, that were scattered around the corridor.
Naruto picked one and he inspected it. It was definitely a glass bottle, but its content the main attraction. It was was like freshly spilled blood.
'' What is this ? '' Naruto asked Fog.
'' That's a healing potion. A medium grade to be exact. ''
'' So it a liquid that basically will heal my wounds. '' Naruto surmised. '' To what degree can these potions can heal me. ''
Fog then began to explain, '' Low grade potion, can heal external wounds like cuts and burns. Medium grade potions can also heal internal injuries, like fracture, internal bleeding, but it cannot heal a destroyed organ. And if you want the good stuff, the High or supreme grade potions are best you can get. It can easily heal internal bleeding, a destroyed organ, but it could not re grow lost limbs. ''
Naruto began to collect, all the potions that were scattered on the floor. He had a total of 20 low grade potions and only 5 medium grade potion. There were some rags, armours and weapons, but he did not need them.
'' So how do I proceed with this trail ? '' Naruto asked.
'' A trail consist of many floors, and to proceed to the next floor, you must defeat the floor boss. And on the last floor, there will be a Trail boss waiting for you. Defeat him and trial will be over. ''
'' That was some useful information. Now where is this floor boss ? ''
All of a sudden, the bones, armours and weapons that lying on the floor, began to move, they moved towards one direction. All the bones came together, the thousands of bones formed a monstrosity, that stood 30 foot tall and was in the shape of a skull, with red glowing eyes that were glaring at him, with hatred.
'' That's a Skeleton legion. They have a core some where inside them, destroy it and it will good as gone. ''
'' Alright then. FIRE BALL! '' Naruto threw a flaming ball at the Monstrosity, on contact it exploded, but it seemed to have no impact on it.
'' Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you that they are immune to magic damage. '' Fog said scratching the back of his head.
'' You should have told me that earlier. ''
The Monstrosity opened its jaws, and gave a very loud shriek. Swords flew out from its mouth, and flew straight towards Naruto. He dodge all the projectiles, by back flipping to a safe position.
'' If I can't use magic to kill it then, I hack it to death. Shadow clone Jutsu! ''
Naruto created thirty shadow clones, pointing at the monstrosity with his sword, he commanded his clones. '' BOYS!!! KILL!!! ''
The clones roared and they charged towards Skeleton monstrosity. The creature on seeing this, threw the swords at the clones. Some got hit and turned into some, but the rest jumped into my air, with their swords in hand they began to hack and slash the monstrosity.
The creature, tried its best to get rid of the Shadow clones, but more and more came. Not long after that, the Skeleton monstrosity was left with almost nothing except for a crimson skull that was the core.
Naruto dispelled all the clones, and approached the crimson skull. '' The dead should remain dead. '' Naruto crushed the skull, by stomping with his foot.
The rest of the bones turned into ash along with the crimson skull, leaving 30 low grade potions
'' After all that trouble it left only these junk for me. I could just use my healing factor to heal those cuts and burns. A medium potion would have been much better. ''
'' Hey! at least we're done with this floor. '' Fog said.
Infront of Naruto, a portal appeared.
'' That's our ticket to the floor. ''
