ENDLESS!! This world is endless!

There is nothing in this world except monsters. No land, no oceans, no mountains, no sun, no moon, no day, no night. Nothing but an endless amount of monsters roaming around killing and fighting each other endlessly.

Then, among these bunch of ruthless monsters, there is me. I am not like the others where they don't desire for anything besides killing and eating each other up.

What is the reason they keep killing each other? I don't know.

Do these monsters even have brains? I don't know.

What is the reason for their existence? I don't know.

Then why am I here? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!!

I have spent countless of aeons in this wretched place. Most of my time are spent killing these monsters, not because I want to, but because I don't have a choice.

They seem especially attracted to me. Each time they notice me, they will put everything on hold and come for me. Even if they are half dead, they will still come for me.

During the first period of my existence, it was really hard. I couldn't remember how many times I was on the brink of death. But every single time I am on the brink of death, the monsters would leave me alone and allow me to recover. They would never kill me.

I HATED IT!!

I hated the fact that they would hurt me so badly only to allow me to recover again. It is like I am their toy, they find it extremely amusing to abuse me over and over again.

So every single monster I killed, I asked myself, why am I here? What is this place? Who am I? Am I dead? Am I alive? Just what is the purpose of my life? Is there an end to this endless suffering?

I fought the monsters over and over again only to lose over and over again. There is just too many of them. It is not that I can't defeat these monsters. In fact, I am stronger than most of them. But there is a never ending amount of these monsters. I am depressed and lonely. I just want something in my life. SOMETHING to fight for. SOMETHING to long for. SOMETHING that gives purpose in my life.

It doesn't feel like I'm a living person, neither does it feel like I am dead. I just don't know the purpose of my existence. Until the moment I saw a beautiful world. It is blue in some areas, brown in some areas, green in some areas and a mixture of white and grey in other areas.

When I looked at it, I felt something in me changed. There was desire, there was longing, there was something in me that felt alive. I knew that I want and I NEED to get there.

"Do you want to go there?"

"WHO IS IT?"

"Do you want to have a purpose?"

"WHO ARE YOU?"

"Do you want to be ALIVE?"

"WHAT IS IT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"

"Answer my question."

"Yes! I do! That is all I ever wanted!!"

"Good!! There are 100 billion monsters in this void. Kill them all and be the strongest monster among all!"

"WHY?! Why can't you just let me go?! Just let me out!!!"

"You are not strong enough. You don't have power, you don't have strength, YOU ARE INADEQUATE!!"

"......"

"I want you to be the King of that world. And when you become King, I will meet you again. But now you need Power! Strength! Perseverance! Intelligence! Survival Instinct! And LUCK! The luck to be King! The destiny to be King!!

"If you don't have Luck, you don't have Power, you don't have Strength, you don't have Destiny, then STEAL it!! BUT you must have Perseverance and Intelligence!

"Stupidity is often the cause of fallen Kingdoms. And without perseverance, you have failed to become the best of what you can be.

"GO! Kill all these monsters and obtain what you want. When you have finished killing these monsters, a gate will appear. Once you enter it, you will be transferred to the other world.

"Oh ya, I forgot to tell you; every year there will be an increase of 0.1% of the remaining monsters. Which means, if you do not kill any monster there will be an increase of 100 million monsters every single year.

"Similarly, these monsters will not kill you but they will torture you more intensively. However, after every 100,000 years, if you do not eliminate at least 1 billion monsters, the monsters will be able to take your life for a time period of 1 single day.

"A single day might not sound like a long period of time, but trust me, you do not want to experience that ONE single day.

"Goodluck! I hope you become King one day. And hopefully, you do not disappoint me like the others."

As he said that, I felt some sort of presence disappeared. Everything went back to normal. I can still see millions of millions of monsters. Some are huge, some are small, some flew up high, some crawl down under, some are ugly and scary, some looked docile but I know, they are all dangerous.

After that old man left, I started killing those monsters as much as I could. I used their bones as weapons, their skins as armour, their flesh as food. I didn't need these things before. But when I realised I have desires, especially after seeing that beautiful world, that desire bloomed deep within my heart and soul.

I started to crave for food, I felt hunger. I started to feel cold and defenceless, so I clothed myself with the skin of the monsters. I started to feel my punches weren't strong enough, I equipped myself with weapons made from their bones.

But every single day, while I am fighting, I will ponder upon the words of the Old Man. And my desire to enter that beautiful world increase daily.

It was pretty much the same as before, the only difference is that now it feels as though the monsters weren't unlimited. Before, it felt as though no matter how much monsters I killed it always seem as though they respawned immediately somewhere else in this wretched place.

There was no concept of time before the Old Man appeared. However, after the Old Man appeared, 2 big screens appeared above me. One representing the number of monsters remaining, and the other representing the amount of time that has passed. This also reassured me since right I can now accurately know how many monsters are remaining and can work towards the goal of completely eliminating all of them. It was different as compared to before, I now have a goal to accomplish.

As time passed, I realised every 365 days represents a single year because every single year, there will be a huge screen showing me the view of the beautiful world that I desire. So every time that screen appears, I will stop killing and admire the beautiful scene in front of me. Only at the 365th day will there be a brief peace as all the monsters will automatically stay away from me for a period of 24 hours as if there was some sort of barrier that prevents them from coming near me. And during that time I will just stare at the big screen and try to learn as much as I can from the actions of the beings of the world.

Every single year I persevered and endured, my desire only grew stronger and stronger. And at the same time, my strength grew stronger and stronger, and proportionately the number of monsters I killed increases each year.

As the number of monsters decreases year by year, the difficulty of killing these monster did not decrease as I expected. I suspected the monsters are differentiated by ranks. Which means some are stronger than the others Nevertheless, all I needed to do was to kill them ALL.

I killed and killed, day after day, year after year, thousands of years after thousands of years. And FINALLY, after 30 million years I managed to kill all these monsters off. I was happy! I was excited! I was anxious! But most of all I felt ALIVE!

Every single time I almost died, I persevered and endured. I told myself, everything is worth it if I get to leave this wretched place.

I felt extremely tired and exhausted that every single step I took felt like it would take my life. But I didn't care, I was so excited and thrilled that I walked towards the door that appeared as the Old Man described it to be.

As I walked through the door, I felt my whole body transformed into a fireball.

BOOM!
