"Fuuu~ F-first of all, I need to check my gear! In my left hand were; [ Gloves of Feather Weight ], [ Curse ring of Wrath ], [ Viper's ring ] and [ Claymore ]. In my right hand; [ Gloves of Strength ][ Poison Gauntlet ], [ Ring of Steel ] and [ Magic Blade Sword ]. I'm also wearing the [ Slithering Boots ] and [ Lover's Necklace ]...Fuuu~ I think from all of the players I would be the only one who have such good items~ but this is still not enough! Oh right! I still have the items dropped by the [ Elder Treant ], where are those~ ..............oh there they are~"
Fumu! Aside from the [ Wooden Spike Pole ], the two consumable items is very useful! I know how to use a Pole because I practiced with it a little before. Aside from the [ Dragon God Style] sword technique that only the top and strongest student can learn, the old man's Dojo is a dojo teaching various weapons because its principle is to [ Be able to adapt in various Circumstances ] so I'm quite adept in using different kinds of weapons. Moreover I also quite like the story [ Journey to the West ] with the MC [ Sun Wukong ] and his favorite [ Golden Cloud ] and [ Ruyi Jingu Bang ] so I became overly enthusiastic in learning the pole.
But now, rather than the pole I need to use dual blade because it can also deal double attacks that dealt greater damage. It's quite versatile, moreover I already have a higher version of [ Lesser Root Spikes ], the skill I absorbed from the [ Elder Treant ] [Root Spikes ]. So for now, I should just eat the [ Enchanted Fruit ] to enhanced my HP and MP.
"Good!...Fuuu~...Time to hunt!"
With my left hand tightly gripping the [ Claymore ], I touched the black door with my right hand. If this was the real world, my palms would be flooding with sweat right now. Then I suddenly thought...what would happen if I just kicked the door then shout [ Pay your debt, Dumbass! ] like a yakuza? The faces of the monster beyond this door would be a sight to see!...well, not like that would happen though~
As I slowly put more strength into my hand, the door which seemed to be at least twice my height, opened with surprising ease. Once it started moving, the two doors opened so quickly as if it was not made of stone or metal but just a piece of paper. Standing there holding my breath, the huge doors finished moving with a 'Clang' sound and
revealed to me what was inside. As soon as I saw the interior of the room, my eye looks like it wanted to fly out
from its socket as my jaws hang without strength.
"A-amazing!"
My jaw hang on my mouth as I left speechless after uttering just one word.
The interior was an extraordinary huge space. The wall and floor were plated with gold and silver. Crimson fires swayed eerily on the candle lamp placed on the side walls. But what truly grabbed my attentions was the dazzling reflection around the room.
Gold! Ornaments such as rings, bangles and necklaces made of gold and silver. Furthermore, antique looking gold coins were piled up to the ceiling like a mountain. I can't even imagine how much there is. It truly is a mountain of gold!
Aside from the gold coins and ornaments, there were also incredible looking swords, weapons, armors, sculptures, furniture's, clothes, jewels such as; diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, amethysts, pearls, all kinds of jewels, and all kinds of golden and silver objects were piled up to a scale where it was impossible to identify more or less count! Although the room only has a faint light from the crimson fires, the treasure can still be seen as unfathomable!
The last corner of the room was a flower bed like place as it was made by piling soil together. Within it grew
numerous different precious looking flowers and plants that shrouded the room with different fragrances. Beside it, there were also items that were even rare and almost unattainable loot like a horn identical to a unicorn's horn and different hides and skins of various monsters such as the hard looking skin as if it was from a dragon.
Truly deserving to be called as a 'Treasure Trove'
"Th-this is truly amazing!...I-is this what they call 'A beggar in one day become an instant millionaire'? J-just what should I do? How should I react to this? Maybe I was inside a dream?....Ouch! S-so this is real?"
Because I can't still believe it, I pinch my hand so hard my nails are digging on it. I felt pain but I wasn't waking up, so this is really real? not a dream?
....wait a moment...how should I react? This is the first time I've experience this situation so I really don't know how should I act after seeing this treasures.
Should I react like this.....
-------------------------------------------
"Hyahahahahahaah! It's gold! it's go~o~old! I'm now a millionaire!"
Swimming on the sea of gold while looking like the embodiment of a money monger, jumping and bathing into the mountain of gold.
"With this I'm rich! Richer than anyone else in the world! I'm richer than any king! I will become a rich ki~ng!"
Throwing gold into the air with both of my hands while laughing out loud like a mad man.
-------------------------------------------
"Uugh...That's creepy!" Shivers run down my skin as I felt all of my hair in my body standing up.
'I will definitely not do that!'
"But still how many delicious food can I buy with this money, I wonder? If I can take this gold back in the real world, maybe I can buy a big, big house for the orphanage. I can also buy lots of delicious foods and expensive toys for the children~ Right I can also buy mother superior and big sister Lina beautiful clothes and accessories~"
Drowning myself in my own fantasies, I ended up laughing while scratching the back of my head. Ha~ such a very wonderful dream indeed...Eh wait a moment, if there is a treasure then it's natural to have a very strong monster guarding it....right?
In an instant, cold sweat run down my back as it also covers my forehead...
Turning my gaze around, what I only saw was a skeleton holding an ancient dark colored tattered book enshrined in a magnificent gold colored throne. It was as if he was overlooking the whole treasure in the room but when this scene
was viewed from this quiet atmosphere, It appeared quite ghastly.
'It won't suddenly move and attack me...right?'
At the side of the throne was a portrait of a noble looking woman with beautiful red hair. It was smiling so realistically it was almost as if she was alive...
Behind the throne was an ominous looking sculpture of a monster circling the throne lying on the floor as if it was sleeping lazily. It was very realistic. Its back had a pair of folded wings and it has three heads. The left head was a lion's head, the middle head was a dragon's head and the right was a goat's head. It's not just its heads that looks menacing, because its tail was like a snake - no it was really a snake.
'Not just the skeleton but this monster is also scary~ Don't tell me, instead of the skeleton, this monster that will move and attack me?~ Hiii very scary, uugh~...wait a moment, because of these breath taking amount of treasures that I forgot about it, but didn't I felt tremendous danger before I enter the room? Aaaaaaah! damn it! So it's really like that! o-one of these monsters will turn back alive and attack me? Oh my god!!!!!'
Looking upon the huge stone sculpture monster beast that looked like a chimera, my eyebrows furrowed. It wasn't moving or anything but the stone sculpture seemed very alive as it was excluding a very dangerous pressure that was hard to express in words.
If this really turn back alive, then it was undeniable that this monster will become terrifying because it look like it was extremely strong!
'N-nothing's happening...so maybe I was wrong?'
But it seems I assumed too early! I should have believe in the saying [ Never Assume Anything! ]
"....An intruder upon my domain?"
A voice that is neither loud nor weak echoed inside the room.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Even without looking, you'll know that the voice came from that sitting skeleton.
'Dammit! So it really came to this!'
Cursing inside my mind, I swallowed some saliva to calm myself.
'Should I say [ Wassup~ nice bones you got there buddy~ wanna drink some milk? ] no, no, no that is definitely dangerous! What about [ You should eat some foods, look you're quite skinny~ ] That one is more likely a death flag!'
While I was thinking about various things to consider, the skeleton guy once again spoke but this time it was looking towards the portrait of the beautiful red-haired noble woman.
"Ah, my Peisha, you are the love of my life. Just why do you choose that bastard king not me! If you have just chosen me, you won't rebel against the heavens as I make you the happiest woman in the entire world! Enjoying the beautiful scenery in the night sky together, laughing while eating delicious foods and enjoying the time pass by. Aaaah, why Peisha, why not me? Look, look at all these riches around me, even a tiny little thief like him couldn't help but crawl towards here just to steal it....My lovely Peisha..."
Truthfully, this is really disgusting~ Wait a moment, Peisha? Did she just say Peisha? No way! Is that what Peisha looks like? Indeed, she's a beauty comparable to my Flora~
"Uum...maybe if you wear some afro and then laugh 'Yohohohoho' like that, she might love you, you know since it's cool~"
Sorry, I couldn't help suggesting~
"SILENT YOU DAMN THIEF!"
The skeleton guy shouted in a really angry voice. Uugh...really what's wrong with it? It's just a suggestion, you
know~...
The skeleton guy was holding the tattered ancient-looking book. Inside the supposedly empty eye sockets was a strange crimson fire. How could anyone see through with that? Is that the infamous [ Hot Eyes ]?
No doubt, no one would like him because of his face....Who would in their right mind would love a scary looking skeleton face like him? Although I really prefer the afro musician pirate over him~
"How dare you break into my and Peisha's love nest! I will let you taste endless sufferings!"
"Geh--! You call this love nest? Dude, no wonder you became bald, without moisture and sunlight....Uugh that
sucks~"
"IMPERTINENT HUMAN THIEF!"
BOOM!
Warning!!! You are attacked by an overwhelming [ Pressure ]. Reduce stats points to half but because of the [ Gamer's Heart and Mind ] skill, such effects are avoided.
Accompanying his voice was a dense, enormous and terrifying pressure mercilessly attacked me. My whole body trembled and it's as if there were countless bugs was crawling throughout my entire body. I felt my heart being clenched directly. It was like the presence of overwhelming death freezing my blood.
After a moment that felt like eternity, the [ Pressure ] weakened and eventually fades.
Phew~ Did I perhaps do something really bad? Can't this skeleton guy take a joke? He should copy someone who says [ Skull Joke ] Well, thankfully my skill [Gamer's Heart and Mind ] saves the day~ if not I'm really screwed, note to myself: better not say anything honestly~
"[ Divine Vision ]"
Borun the Lich Level 75
C - BOSS
Geh - ! Now I really wish I didn't see that! Although I'm quite thankful that he's level is nowhere near than Flora, but still he's a C-BOSS type Monster? With the me right now, I don't have any confidence I can defeat him. Right now, I'm back in my original appearance, unfortunately as well as my level and power. I have already return back before I separated from Flora and I still can't use it again. Skills with long cool down really sucks , although it was still a super strong cheat skill~
"Ho~ It seems the thief this time has some skills, standing before the great me yet not even an ounce of fear was felt. How commendable, be honored for I will use your corpse as my slave! Kuhahahahaha"
'Slave your ass! Hmpf, over my dead beautiful and handsome body I will never become your slave!'
"I apologize but my heart, body and soul can only love and serve only one woman, and that isn't you! More like, I don't swing that way, I only like beautiful women especially with big racks ~ Moreover, would you refrain from killing me if I'm afraid? Unfortunately not. Although I really prefer if we become friends and share the greatness of our own lover....instead of fighting to the death, Let me tell you that I'm a great Pacifist~"
"How ridiculous! Do you think you can defeat me and leave here alive!? A lowly-thief like you tried to reject my goodwill!"
'What goodwill, asshole!'
"Kill you? Hahaha I don't think so but even a pawn has a chance to take down a king, you know! And even if your level is way above mine It doesn't really matter. From all of my fight up until now, I only learn one thing. Levels, are after all just numbers in this world. Although it affects my fight, it doesn't mean I will really lose if my opponent has a higher level than mine~ ....My instinct tells me, I can do this~"
Shrugging my shoulders, I look at the sitting skeleton guy while smiling wryly.
"I've made it a policy to never doubt my instinct...It's more fun that way~ And it's not like it's over when I lose, it can only be really called it's over when I quit and never dare try to fight. If I win, I live but if I lose then I can only die but I can't say I lose unless I really fought.... right?"
"T-that smile! T-that face! I hate all that! Why! Why can you still smile even though you're just weak! I'm stronger than you! I can squash you like a bug yet why can you still smile like that! Just like the almighty king, that bastard king who stole my Peisha away from me! Always smiling! That disgusting smile!! I hate that!!!!"
The skeleton guy begun trembling in anger while looking at me.
Am I really that ugly? Mother Superior and Teach always told me that smiling wryly really suits me, but how dare this skull face act like this just by seeing my handsome smiling face! Calling it disgusting! SO RUDE! I'm really angry now!
"You damn skull face! How dare you call my innocent and lovely smile disgusting!....Uugh Even though I'm really angry, it seems I still took damage from that...Now I've lost some confidence in my perfect smile just because of this damn skull face. Don't you know, Smiling is the best way to hide your feelings! especially fear ?
Haaa~ Although if I were to relate it on one of my best anime character, 'my smile can be considered a lie as I used it to mask my real feelings' is what he said but calling it disgusting... Uugh, It seems I'm the same as that certain ninja; even if I force myself to smile, it still doesn't suit me because I'm still the type of person who ends up being hated... J-just because of this skull face! Uugh I really want to cry now"
"ENOUGH! You will die right this moment! [ Lu wa, meda so kol, el ro mu, ge jamal] Awaken from your slumber [ Chimera ]"
As soon as he finished what he's saying, the stone sculpture begun to glow very bright as it enveloped the whole room. Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel the cold sweats flowing down from my back as well as my entire body as a very dangerous premonition occurred in my mind.
'S-surely It shouldn't be t-that.....right?'
As the light finally fades, what greet me was a 4 meter tall monster that looks like the stone sculpture from before.
The only difference was that it was now majestically standing in front of me.
"""GroooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrRRRRRR - Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"""
Gulp!
"H, hi - !?"
