As the dark roaring of the sky blocked out the distant screams, Arthur lay there unmoving, red lines tore down his face, red lines from the constant shedding of tears.
A shifting of rubble near the door of his apartment.
“Hello?” A seeming friendly voice echo’d in the apartment
Arthur didn’t move from his kneeling position.
The unknown grinned and reached behind its back. Pulling out a what looked to be a Glock-17. Pointing it towards Arthur.
“OI, FUCK FACE! If you want to live give me everything you ha-”
CRAK!
Before the man could even finish his sentence his body had disappeared from existence, replaced by what looked like dust particles floating through the air. Arthur had flicked his finger in the direction of the person releasing an arc to the man’s chest. Like a bug being flicked away.
Arthur rose from his kneeling position, slowly walked towards his kitchen, stepping over debris from the Goyle. He opened the fridge and pulled out a can of cream soda.
Pop
Downing the entire can in a matter of seconds.
“Ahhhhhhhh...”
I should leave.
I pack survival necessities in my school bag. A couple sets of clean clothes, food and water, a Tantō James gave me for my 17th Birthday. I take my bedsheets and place it over his body.
His hand was sticking out from the sheets, I move to place it back in, upon contact a pane appears.
Would you like to absorb EXP points?
“....Yes”
After a slight glow I gain a level.
I stand up and leave with this newfound knowledge. If it was possible to absorb EXP, that would mean going around and murdering people is just as good, if not better than killing NPC mobs.
This will be a problem in the future, it gives people a reason to kill others. I should be wary, though I doubt that many people will have already figured this out, but it won’t take long.
I walk down towards a quick mart that's not as popular as other marts. I figured that it would be the best chance for food and hopefully nobody has beaten me to it.
About halfway to the mart my sense tell me that a danger lurks by. My ears pick up some sort of warping sound.
VOOMP!
A 8’5 figure appears before me. Red skin bubbles as a seeping mist flows outwards from its pores, claws extend from its elongated hands. A thin built body stands there with a human-like head. Black eyes stare down upon, a sweat builds on my forehead as I see the curved horns attached to head winding back like hair that’s been gelled.
It looks down on me like it had just seen a pile of shit.
“Today is a bad day for you mortal… I pity your kind for they will be annihilated…” Its voice reverbs causing the surrounding area to shake.
“I am afraid you will have to join them.” The demon lifts its claws and makes a flick with his hand upwards. A motion that would be used to tell someone to begone.
In an instant a dark force slices towards me, almost naturally I dash backwards out of danger just barely dodging death. The force collides with the floor penetrating 5 meters before fading away.
*Gulp…
Better not get hit by that or it's lights out. I reach to my side and bring out the tantō, unsheathing it reveals a black blade with a nice edge. I attempt to use Dark Lightning create to enchant it. Placing my hand on the blade I activate the spell. A small bolt runs from my hand onto the blade glowing with energy, it starts to bounce up and down the blade continually. I grab the handle and hold it steady, pointing it in the direction of the Demon.
Congratulations you have enchanted a weapon!
Enchanting Learned!
Identify Learned!
I look at the blade and quickly Identify it.
Steel Tantō
Enchanted - Dark Lighting
Damage 50 - 120

“Hmmmm….You use a strange power mortal, I see you are more entertaining than the other worthless insects. Shall we make a deal? If you can land a single hit upon me I shall grant you one of my powers. But if you don’t… Well you won’t find out until it happens. ”
A deal? Well he’s level 80 and i’m level 13 so if I don’t take this my chances of survival are probably lower.
“I accept… ”
Almost immediately I Dash towards him and slice with the tanto. The Demon vanishes from sight and sends me flying into a wall from behind.
CRUACHK!
The wall crumbles down onto me as dust covers me and my vision. Perfect. I raise my right hand pointing all five fingers in the direction I think the bastard to be. “Lightning Arc”
CRAK!
“ARRGH!?!”
Rekt. I dash out of the dust followed by another dash slicing into the direction of the scream. My slice connects and like butter it cuts, leaving a trail of static and a deep cut to the chest.
“GUAHH!”
I dash to the left swinging my blade before the dash.
During the walk I had the test if my was a dash or a teleport. After a simple face to poll test I found out that I was just going really fast.
With the momentum of the dash I aim for the leg of the Demon. Butter :). A grin creeps on my face without me noticing.
The demon attempts to retaliate but the shock from the arc I sent him keeps him stunned. A massive lichtenberg figure spreads across his chest. Even if he is 67 levels above me rules of this world still apply. Lucky that Demons seem to have the physiology as humans.
After his leg slides off I got for his other leg and he lands on the floor.
I stand to his left kneeling down with a grin on my face. His eyes fill with fear.
“I would like that teleportation ability of yours, then i’ll let you live” I say with a smile that slowly gets bigger and bigger.
“Y-yes!”
A book falls to the ground, I reach down to grab it when I am prompted.
Congratulations!
For subduing a Demon Lord you have received a spell of teleportation.
The spell has been altered to fit you class.
I check my status and see the ability labeled Dark Warp.
I stand up from the ground and point my right index at the Demon. His mouth opens but before he is able to say anything I pump 5 arcs directly into his face.
The face throbs before exploding.
And that is what he gets for calling humans worthless.
Congratulations!
For killing a Demon Lord under level 15.
As well as being the first person in the world to kill a monster above level 70.
You have been given the choice of a race change.
Lesser Demon
Lesser Angel
Lesser Reaper
Lesser Dragon
Lesser Colossus
...wow, a little op don’t you think? And it was so easy as well. I guess i’m going to have to thank Seth if I ever meet him for this SSS grade gem. hehehue.
Hmmm….. choices choice, all of these seem very generic except for the Colossus. The dragon sounds badass but…
“Lesser Colossus!”
I know that what I did was probably a stupid idea but, I don’t want to be an ugly Demon. Plus from that last battle they seem real weak.
Angels are not my type.
Reaper sounds intriguing but i’m afraid it will come with some sort of catch, like, ‘You are now cursed with no sexual libido’
From my knowledge Colossus are closely related to Titans, I wonder if I will have the ability to transform hehehe.
You are now a lesser Colossus.
Transformation will apply after sleep.
ohh?~
