Author's note : Sorry for the late chapter, so this is the beginning of a new arc of slaughter and madness... I had a hard time thinking of how to make what happens in this chapter, happen however, I found an interesting way to put it. The crazyness of the mc is like always as its peak, Thanks for reading and enjoy !
After running a few minutes at top speed I came across a village of level 20-30 ratmen, there was about two hundred of them. They were living in houses made out of mud and wood, they were also extremely ugly.
'Do I kill them or not ? Are they monster or not ?'
“Well I'll see.”
Hiding my aura from them since I wanted them to face me as if I was a weak human. If they attack, they will be annihilated. Azelos said it during my training, it's not a problem if I am completely insane but when I have to fight, I have to be cold hearted, cold blooded and to show my killing intent only when I'm the one attacked. Because if I want to kill, I don't need to be detected by my opponent.
Before entering the village I began to concentrate a huge amount of mana in my hands, we never know what might happen. When I set foot on their territory, every eyes were directed at me, each step increased the fury in their glares.
'Are they really just monsters ?'
When I thought about that I continued to walk through the village, passing each ratman without glancing in their direction, until ten of them stood before me.
“...” I waited for them to get out of the way but understood that I will not be able to walk forward now.
“Who are you human ? What do you want ?” Asked the one in the middle while the others took out iron weapon such as swords and spears.
“...”
“If you don't answer I'll be forced to use strength.”
“...” I didn't answer seeing no use to it.
“It's what you wanted young one, it's not my fault.... get him !”
The ten ratmen jumped toward me but when they were two meters away from me, they were all cut in two. I used my qi to create a two and a half meter long blade.
“Do you wish to continue ?” I asked while releasing my overwhelming aura on them.
I continued to walk without taking the cores since I don't really need them. However, I now know that intelligent monsters are creating settlements and began to develop.
'Anyway, there's no use talking about it for now, today I'm going to get at least level 70 then, I need to gain influence through the hunter's guild... If they know I'm strong but dangerous, nobody will try to be a fool and attempt to kill me. I have to survive as long as I can.'
Back to the city, there was a huge uproar....
“What is going on ?! Shit ! To cripple the strongest hunter of the city, if I see him a gain I'll kill him !” Cursed in anger the head of the city, Carle Delmion.
Since new cities were created, the job of mayor was replaced by head because this is the most influential place in a city. They control low levelled hunters, the military force and the defence of the city, they hold the life of humans in their hands.
“Please don't be rash, Delmion, if he can torture this weak hunter then, he is stronger, if he is stronger who will capture him ?” Asked the man beside him.
“I know it already but I have to vent my anger on something ! And what is it with weak hunter ?”
“Well compared to hunters in other cities, he is weak, no combat training or anything, just the level. Of course, like the majority of hunters in Rising dragon....”
“Ahah of course they are weak, if not, how can I use them ? Moreover, we don't need strong hunters with the kind of monsters roaming around our walls.”
“Sigh....”
Rising dragon city was well known all over the world for its “weak hunters”, they were hunters who only relied on the system to gain strength, there was no training center or dojo in the city. It was to prevent them to rebel against the authority of the head.
In other cities there was plenty of these training center and dojos as well as some magic center, in other words they knew how to fight even if it was not at the level of Kayne.
“Well for now tell all the guards to search this brat with the soldiers, if we can't beat him with one person, we will use dozens of them.”
“Yes !” Agreed his most trusted man.
Inside the hunter's guild Clara was sitting alone on a table while drinking beer and complaining to a waitress.
“Aaaaah.... I hope they are taking good care of him..... Sarah ! Tell me if Kayne is in danger...”
“Huh ?! How should I know if he is in danger, I don't even know him !” Answered the waitress.
“Ah yes it's true, well I just hope that he is safe.”
“So you have finally in love with someone huh ? And I thought that the two men you were hunting with, were interested in you.”
“Of course they were, however, they are totally different from him... well forget about him, I'll surely not see him again....” Answered gloomily Clara.
“Well if you say so... Ah ! Did you see the nine lightnings ?! It was so cool ! It must be someone super strong !”
“Ahah, yeah I guess ?”
Clara of course, didn't say a thing about Kayne being the one enduring heaven's wrath, moreover she was extremely worried since he was taken by the guards, she knew why she was worrying so much for someone she just encountered but she didn't want to accept it nor disregard it, she didn't know what to do. At the moment she was thinking of Kayne, the door was opened by the guards and they ran inside until they stopped at the center.
“Everyone listen closely !!! We are asking all of you to search for a black haired man of about 18 years old, he is around 1,80 meter tall, his eyes are green and he has a tattoo under his right eye. His level is low, in the thirties. He is searched for murder, the one who will bring us the man alive will receive 100,000 life coins as well as a place to participate in the test of Kargan training academy ! That's all !” (Author's note : I don't remember well the eyes of the mc so if it's not green say it to me, since I'm currently writing this chapter on mobile I can't go back to other chapters. Thanks !)
“What ? Black hair ? Green eyes ? Level in the thirties ? Don't say that it's him.... murderer ? No, that's not possible....”
While Clara was shedding tear after tear, every hunter stood up and ran around the city in hope to gain the money and a few of them wanted to participate in the test for fame.
Of course Kayne was hiding the true colour of his devil's right eye while not in combat, since it would be troublesome if others saw it.
Currently Kayne was sitting on a rock observing the monsters disappearing. His level was now 71 but he chooses to not use his stats points for the time being. When he was wondering what to do since he was extremely bored with these weak monsters, Xavash talked to him with a weak voice.
[Sorry for not answering you kid but I don't have enough time.... We will not be able to talk to you for some time.... When we protected you, our souls were wounded and to recover our energy, we need to sleep for a few years I suppose... or a few months... I don't really know.... I hope you will stay well... Kayne...]

“Is that so...? Alone once again ? I was really born in the wrong world. Everything is so fucked up here ! What is the meaning of getting stronger until gods bow before me if I'm alone ?! This world has gone to shit ! Is there a meaning for the pain I suffered all these years of training ?!”
Kayne finally let his emotions take control of him while he cursed in anger.
“Why is it that I have to be this strong compared to monsters ? If I was not captured during the first time the world has changed I could have some fun killing monsters stronger than me... Like the time with the goblins, it was fucking bloody.”
“They said that the system increased the difficulty when we get stronger but all I see are monsters so weak that they can't even touch me ! There is no meaning to get stronger if it's boring, even more than doing nothing.... I wish that I can fight stronger opponents which can destroy cities in a matter of minutes and countries in a few days. Burning everything to ashes.... something truly hard, something which will cause the weak humans to grow strong or die, something interesting and above all something which can help me grow stronger !”
While Kayne was complaining, he didn't expect that by his mere words he shattered fate, he didn't know that his class was the only bug in the system, something that gods would have never created since it can be dangerous for them. A class which can break the rules of fate, shattering it to nothingness and remodelling it as the owner want.
His words are rule, there is no god of fate but there is fate, while Klayne was cursing towards heaven and earth he didn't see the golden light his body emitted and that his class permitted him to break universal laws, rendering totally random the fate of the universe.
Moreover, gods were not able to see it, they were just doing whatever they wanted while the unbelievable was happening.
A black window surrounded by purple and red lines appeared.
By breaking fate, your wish was granted : World number 0087658051684652098465054 has entered the phase “Pandora's box opened”.
“What …?”
A few seconds later a second window appeared, but this time every humans saw it.
[window] WARNING : Your world has entered the phase “Pandora's box opened” ! Every non humans living beings will be granted with the gift limitless evolution. Rift randomly open through space and summon living beings from another world. Dungeons has their difficulty increased. Hell's gate have been opened and let the demon lords and their army enter freely this plane. Prepare yourself while this world is adapting itself for the new changes which will appear in 17 hours, however the already built city will be granted an area totally safe from monsters for the next ten years to allow humanity hope.[/world]
“Huh ?” Kayne didn't understand what was happening at first....
'Is it my fault ? I did it ?' But now he was smiling....
“Ah... Ahah... Ahahahahahahah ! Ahahahahahahahahahah ! I can't believe it ! I just doomed humanity with the most fearsome calamity ! It's finally my chance to slaughter ! They offered me stronger monsters to kill, I have to thanks the system this time.”
Kayne once again exposed his madness while laughing for something as disastrous as that, without caring for the talk of fate just caring about the new changes which will turn the destroyed earth into true hell.
Every human in the world were completely pale, some fainted, some just killed themselves or died from shock and despair. The rest was cursing heavens, why do they have to live through hell a second time, they lived in a relatively safe place but now... they will all die. Some even laughed at the bad joke about Pandora's box since they can only hope to live after that.
It's a simple annihilation.
It has been a few minutes that Kayne was laughing from madness, now that the world has gone to shit a second time and he missed the first time, he was going to try en enjoy every last minutes of his life, going as far as randomly killing every monsters, in other words he was going to slaughter.
“I just have to register as a hunter then I'll stay out of the city to see what happens.”
In the hunter's guild Clara was crying in despair, forgetting about Kayne since it was more important to stay alive than think about him.
While every influential people talked about it in their cities to decide what to do from now on, the strongest hunters were all thinking hard about how they will survive in the wilderness after these events.
The necromancer even thought “If the gods wanted to annihilate us they could at least kill us without shattering our hopes.”
This day it was decided that hunters will train in squads of at least twenty people, they will need an authorisation to leave the walls, every scientists were mobilised to create new weapons and the top priority was set to strengthen humanity's defences. Old training center and dojos were destroyed and a new one was created, HOPE was its name since it was the most needed thing for now, every humans regardless of sex will have to train and get stronger by all means, after all raising a level will be more difficult than training from now on.
Everything will change but a little hope remain since they are safe for at least ten years and a lot of things can happen in ten years.
Kayne jumped above the walls and was once again in the city, running through the streets until he reached the hunter's guild. His face was hidden under the clothes Xavash offered him so nobody recognized him nor anybody would care at all in this situation.
He approached the woman he asked earlier about the hunter's card.
“Excuse me, I would like to register as a hunter.”
“Huh......”
There was practically no reactions, just her staring at him.
“I said I wanted to register as a hunter.”
The woman didn't care at all and just handed a card then fainted.
'What the hell ? I know you can be quite surprised because of the nearing annihilation but well... do your work properly.'
When Kayne took the card, it shined and his name as well as his level and squad appeared, of course where the name of his squad should have been, it was blank.
“Well, thanks.”
It was night time, Kayne was sitting on the walls, observing the scenery before him, the 17 hours will soon be passed.
“Ah I can't wait !”
Then, his sight became black and a second later it became normal, however cries of monsters could be heard. The sky that night was crimson, the moon was black, as if an eye observing the beginning of pandemonium. The only human who could stay totally calm was Kayne, he jumped out of the city and walked towards a new adventure, hoping to encounter someone...
And as always his madness overwhelmed his thoughts, letting him hope for blood, enough blood to bath in.
