Book 2 - Chapter 32: Ruinous Hero

I honestly wasn't thinking about my brother when I was designing the Dracosys. That he got trapped in a dungeon was apparently fluke. That he took the ONE OPPORTUNITY for anyone to get Synergist on day one was sheer luck. Or maybe Luck. I don't know his Luck stat. That was how my brother screwed me.

Because of that, I struggled in the beginning. I had to use a damn gun, A GUN, to kill Buffadoes. So many, many Buffadoes. I had to wear noise canceling headphones to cover up their dumb screams and wails and pathetic moans of pain. That first day I probably killed a hundred of the dumb things. By the end I had magic. By the end of the first week I was 4th step. Archmage, if you must know.

Then leveling became a massive chore. I had to grind out levels with an increasingly high Average Level. On day 7, at Average Level 284, I had to kill 100 Buffadoes to gain one fucking level. That was how the Dracosys screwed me. The Buffadoes were coded to not get stronger or better at fighting when the Dungeon did it's Dailey reset. So what did it do instead? It kept making them worth less and less experience points. That took THREE HOURS to gain on level. Fuckign bitch dungeon. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HELP ME.

I FINALLY got my 5th step class on day 16. Topaz Mage. It's was what I was going to get using Synergist anyways. It's a variant of Crimson Mage, focused on lightning spells. And man, did it rock. My lightning spells got stronger and stronger.

I talked to Fortuna, well she yelled at me, and I put in an update with the Admins to change up the Dracosys software. The changes went into effect on day 31 of the Dracosys. I framed it as a regular video game update. I thought that would be fun.

Then, on day THIRTY TWO I finally hit step 6. My next step on my path to power!

Ruinous Hero

Save through destruction. Become the guardian of humanity by being the bane of monsters. Your Electric elemental abilities become Ruin spells.

A 6th Step class. No known subclasses, no known class evolutions.

Gain 25 Constitution and 25 Arcana upon choosing this class. Two predetermined spells will be granted to you upon choosing this class.

Uses Intelligence, Constitution and Arcana.

When you gain a level you gain 10 Constitution, 10 Arcana and 30 free points. You also gain one spell every three levels.

Constitution? I understood immediately. I'm not immune to my own Ruin magic. Ruin magic deletes anything it touches. I have to be careful not to delete myself. I pump more points into Constitution and puck the two regen speed ups. Now I'm like a fucking wolverine on troll blood.

I like my new spells too. The first is Static Flight, which let's me fly. Awesome! The second is Ruin Cannon, which takes a bit to charge up, but then unleashes a big Ruin blast.

With my new Ruin powers I go back to killing Buffado. I have to blast Linkin Park to keep me going. I find myself leveling slower and slower. I get less and less XP per kill, and I need more XP per level, AND I just can't do it more than a few hours a day anymore. I've gotten behind on writing my series.

My series, GOD TIER AT 2ND LEVEL is doing great, by the way. I've got almost 300 followers reading every day. And I post seven days a week. So thats like 2100 hits and week. xxx420Gokubaby is still my only patron on Patreon. But he's rocking it at the 15 bucks a month tier. So I've got that going for me.

Not that I need xxx420Gokubaby anymore. Killing each buffado gets me a hundred bucks, tax free. And I've killed so fucking many off them. I coded the buffados to drop hundred dollar bills because I knew i wouldn't want to pick up coins or whatever other garbage other dungeons drop. There's a problem with the bills though. They're not all the same serial number, I'm not THAT STUPID. No but they are each a copy of an existing bill in circulation. So at some point I couldn't get tagged for that. But im not worried about it. By that time I'll be strong enough to just kill anyone who tries to stop me.

I can't wait for that. I want to just be able to wipe out the entire government if I want to. And I do want to, even if that means Fortuna becomes my enemy. Well, she already is, really, she just doesn't know it yet. Bitch. And yeah, I don't need any shrink to tell me that I only want to kill the government because they made 9/11 happen. Goddamn deepstate just couldn't WAIT to invade the middle east again, and they killed my mom to justify it? Fucking bitches. Nobody ever paid for it. So I'm going to make them pay.

The day that stupid Jun tripped my alarm on the dungeon entrance, I was already expecting him. The FBI had raided my house MY HOUSE because of him. I know he was behind that. So I knew when they couldn't find me, Junee would come for me himself. Couldn't stand me being better than him. Poor guy /sarcasm.

Anyways he tripped my alarm and I saw the whole thing though the special room I had set up on the 30th floor of my dungeon. I always knew I'd need a place to hideout so I'd coded in a room for me. Nice place. It has armor row of arcade cabinets, a big pile of pillows to sleep on and the “boss” of the floor is Caterina the cat girl. You know, the first and best girl from GOD TIER AT 2ND LEVEL. She's VERY friendly. Although I had to kill her a few times at first to get her in lien. She's a smart NPC so once I showed her I was the real boss of the floor, she started acting like the good kitty she's supposed to be.

Anyways after he tripped the alarm, I knew I had to go fight him. I immediately killed Catarina so he couldn't get his filthy hands on her, just in case I had to leave without her. I flew down there, using my flight and some Rogue skills to be sneaky. Recently I got Rogue and Thief classes to bring down my Average Level. I got some realy good sneaky stuff from it too. So I snuck up on my dumbass brother and scared the shit out of himself. He's so dumb he can't even talk right.

Anyways, I tired too NOT kill him, but almost fucked up. I took his whole shoulder off when I only meant to delete his arm. Whoopsie! Whatever, he deserves it. He never could beat me at Street Fighter 4.

I flew out of there once I'd almost killed him. He bled soooo much it was funny. On the way out I think one of his military goons shot me but I regenerated right over the bullet. That's right, I'm such a badass I can take a bullet to the neck and live!

I had to get out of there though. I needed to pull them away from my dungeon. I've got cameras set up outside it, so I can tell when it's clear again. In the meantime I've been staying in some shady motels, flying at night and heading north to Portland. I really want to just fuck up some hipster coffee shop. Some of those shady motels had friendly ladies at them too. Nice!

Of course, I have my backdoor into the Admins, so I found out where the raid boss was going to be. I took a plane to Australia. That flight was sooo long and boring. I had told resit just deleting the kid next to me. Seriously should a fucking HERO have to sit next to a toddler? I don't think so!

Anyways, I got there and man, I think I really like it there. Maybe I'll just move to Australia after I kill the US government. It feels like the air is cleaner, and the water is clearer. There's people, but not TOO MANY people, if you know what I mean.

I could have just flown all the way to Macmurdo but I didnt want to lose time writing. So I hired an boat with good old American hundos. They got me close, close enough to see the damn navy. The pussy boat driver wouldn't go further. Because he's a big baby. So I flew off and flew past some Chinese boats, then flew up over the American boats. With my stealth skills nobody saw me.

I watched as those dumb army guys fired missiles into a fucking daikaiju and did NOTHING. So lame! And then the biggest monster had babies that ate some tank guys! Aw, isn't that cute! The big boy split in two, which was where things got interesting. The bottom half went swimming while the top went flying. Things started to go to shit for the Army down there, and the swimming guy got two ships and the flying guy got one. Good going mister kaiju! I FINALLY saw my brother out there, wearing some dumbest white outfit. What? Like he's a hero? He's just a dog of the military. His friend left him behind and ran away, which was funny. Then he went after his friend. I watched him die. It was hilarious.

Jun dived into the water to fight, and I knew he'd probably get himself killed, so I followed him. He was using some stars? Why? Whatever, he got eaten and then I knew I had to save him. After all, he doesn't get to die. He gets to watch me rise. I shot Ruin at the big core thing and it's broke apart, killing the monster. I got credit for it, a whole three levels! Sweet!

After that I was pretty cold. I flew out to where my boat was supposed to be but it was gone. Fucking pussy. I did the next best thing. I hid on one of the Chinese boats.

Well, I thought I hid. Some angry little guy started shouting at me. Once they found another translator we got to talking and I found out that we might have a lot in common...

And that brings us to now. Me writing this report for you, mister Chinese special agent man. I need you to get this to a certain someone. Wei He Li, CEO of Exceleron Manufacturing. He's going to want to see me. And trust me when I say you don't want to get on his bad side.
