The voice of that guy resounded in the room with echo. Ethan knew that voice. He has heard it somewhere. Outside the game. In that moment he remembered it. That softness. That security in himself. With just those few words Ethan realised who that guy was. He froze in that place, unable to move. Suddenly a spear appears out of nowhere and thrusts through Ethan’s leg.
“AAAAAAh. Fuck.” The pain was unbearable. Why? It's just a spear, it should not hurt that much. Ethan examined the spear and saw that the tip had a glowing orange color. Elemental spears can have those kinds of colors. There are a type that are rarely found. It can cause extra damage or add effects to what they hit.
“Come back!” Said the guy. The spear struggled to come out from Ethan’s leg. Doing him a lot more damage. Blood spilling with each try of coming out. The spear finally got out, tearing apart Ethan’s leg flesh and making him lose balance.
Sweat falling from his forehead. His face is trying to suppress the desire to cry and scream. After some deep breaths, he is finally able to speak at the person in front of him.
“Why? Why are you doing this Anthony Hellspear?” He looks at him. Inspect

Anthony appeared from the dust. His face showed anger and hostility towards Ethan. He slams the spear in the ground making all the remaining dust go away. Anthony hears what Ethan said and clenches his teeth. He then shouts at Ethan
“Why? How dare you ask?”
Anthony frowns more and points at Ethan.
“Someone of confidence told me that you killed Mark! The friend who we spent so much with! I know you were just a rat who would turn your back at us anytime. I knew it from the very moment I met you.”
Ethan couldn’t reply, even if technically he didn’t kill him, he tried to.
“You won’t reply, disgusting bastard? It must be true then. I will kill you. For that I don’t care what I must endure.” He says before taking out what seemed like a fruit. Similar to a pear but of a golden color
Ethan gets scared the moment he sees the fruit. “WAIT! How do you have that? Anthony, don’t!”
That fruit is an item that is really difficult to find. It helps you advance a certain number of levels depending on RNG. Nevertheless, there is a base percentage of 70% of failing and killing the one who eats it at the moment. That percentage is changed depending on what your character rank is. The closer you get to rank S the less percentage of failing, but also the less levels that the RNG works with. Rank S has 50% of failing and can upgrade between 1-10 levels. When going down in ranks the maximum level increases by 5 and the percentage is also increased by 5. An example could be: a rank B has a 60% of failing and the RNG will choose between 1-20 levels.
Anthony eats it despite only being rank c. His body starts to tremble. It continues for five seconds. Anthony’s body expelling a huge aura. In a moment his body stops. He lets out a huge amount of air from his mouth.
Ethan couldn’t believe it. Just how far is this idiot going just to kill me. Let's see. Inspect

Ethan’s eyes opened wide. HOLY SHIT 12 levels.
Mark’s expression changed to a cocky one, a smile on his face. All that anger seems to have disappeared.
Mark starts talking. “For now, let's just say that I'm avenging Mark. Even with all that, I didn't like you from the beginning. I just endure you, because we were on the same team and the party leader protected you. Now that he is not here, I won’t even get sad if I kill you. So how will ‘the great Ethan’ get out of this?”
Ethan looks down after hearing that. The partner who he has spent so much time with. A friend that was saved by him many times.
Ethan clenches his teeth. He frowns and looks at Anthony with an intimidating glare.
“So that is what you really thought of me all this time. I understand. If this is how you wanna do it, let's do this.” He then whispers “Temporary Patch.”
Ethan starts to get up. Anthony was surprised to see him being able to get up.
“You had something under the sleeve all this time. Bastard.”
“Anthony. Let me tell you something” Ethan is looking at him with anger and self-confidence.
“I don’t want to, but if i have i won’t hesitate on killing you and I’ll claim this fucking quest and I’ll continue advancing in the game.”
“Sword dance.”
“High instincts maximum output.”
“Use 10 souls.”
<10 Levels extra has been granted for 15 minutes>
“Give me a good fight Anthony.”
Without thinking twice Ethan dashes at Anthony. Throwing a big blow, a wide sword swing with a huge speed and incredible strength. Despite all that Anthony takes a stable position. In his vision a dot appears in Ethan’s sword. He grabs his weapon firmly, in his forearms his veins marked, he hits with his spear tip at that point. With a huge sound, Ethan’s sword is blocked perfectly and it rebounds a bit in the spear. He throws another one aiming with precision to Anthony’s leg, but again his blow is blocked and rebounds a little. After that Ethan takes some steps back.
Damn, that skill. It always gives so much trouble.
“You like my parry skill. I was lucky and got this skill in the gacha system, and as you know this is a RNG game.You won’t be able to win.”
In the not so long time this world has been going everyone that Ethan encountered said the same. RNG, RNG, RNG…
Ethan shouts at Anthony. “Every fucking time the same! Stop saying that RNG is everything! IT IS NOT!”
Ethan dashes faster and takes Anthony aback, who is unable to parry correctly and takes some damage in the left arm.
“I will show all of you that RNG is not everything. Me, someone who started with a D character rank will complete this game.”
Anthony stays silent for a moment, and then laughs out loud.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You think that you can complete this game with a D character. Holy fuck, thats the best joke I have heard. ”
He gets serious again and throws the spear at Ethan again who is able to block it just barely, but he is thrown back because of the power the spear was thrown with.
“How do you, a mere D character, with probably poor skills, plan to complete the game? Even the time we played together, you were only useful for your knowledge, because of the countless hours you played this game and the immense runs you tried.”
Ethan, whose hands were trembling for the recent impact, doesn’t answer him.
“So, you won’t answer?.” Anthony calls his spear to return to him.
“If that's all. Die, Ethan”
Anthony is now the one who runs at Ethan, and throws a lot of impacts, everyone one of them having a perfect balance between power and precision. Mostly all of them were evaded thanks to high instincts, some of them left some scratches along Ethan’s body. In a moment Ethan runned at Anthony who tried to thrust Ethan with his spear. In the last moment Ethan jumps over the spear and tries to deliver a swing at Anthony’s neck.
Anthony is able to evade a big damage just leaving him with a not deep wound on his neck. The moment Ethan lands the previously damaged leg makes him lose balance. Anthony takes this opportunity and throws a powerful kick at him. Pushing him back.
Even if Ethan couldn’t feel pain, he was starting to feel the exhaustion of the fight. The scream his body was doing every time he did efforts with his damaged leg. He puts one knee on the ground
“What happened Ethan? You have a pitiful aspect. It’s even sad to see you like this. I told you, RNG is everything in this game. I got this fantastic parry skill so you can’t beat me now.”
Ethan boiled in rage after hearing that shit again.
“I told you not to say that again, asshole!”
Ethan starts thinking. How can I beat him? I have fought in my past a lot of enemies with the parry skill, but I don't have any magic skills nor a magic weapon. So how. Aggggh, I can't think of anything. So there is just one alternative. Overpower it with pure strength.
“Hey Tony, you told me that everything is RNG, and that I won't be able to beat you, right?”
“Is Anthony for you bitch. Of course you won’t.” A sudden chill shivers down his spine. What is this sensation I’m having? I’m winning, I know so why..
“I didn’t want to do this, because I wanted to save it.”
“Use 10 souls”
<10 souls will be used to increase your level. Actual level 35(increased recently with souls). You have reached level 45>
Anthony felt the incredible presence and pressure Ethan was suddenly expelling over the whole room.
“What the fuck is this!! What did you do?”
Ethan looks up at Anthony with a smirk.
“This is the power of my knowledge. Try not to die so soon.”
