“The loser should go pick up the bodies while I the winner will show this monster what real FEAR is.”

Chapter 1: Two heroes, One Boss Pt.1

“What the hell is a red gate type boss doing in a yellow gate dungeon?”

“This doesn’t make any sense.” said the terrified hero as he sat there on the floor shaken from the scene he just witnessed.

A cave like dungeon with walls as high as mountains with the only light source were touches placed randomly across the cave and an open path leading to the boss room which had the door already busted down. (A very shitty description of a cave…Edit: which I couldn’t even come up with).

The hero who could only quiver and pray as all his teammates bodies were shattered across the place, badly beaten, bruised and barely hanging onto life. A truly terrifying and traumatizing scene to behold.

There it stood in the middle of the room, the monster responsible of all the massacre. A high Orc with black long hair running down its shoulders, dark red skin as hard as dragon scales, black body makings running along his entire body with a very terrifying scar on his left eye.

It began walking forwards, towards the hero, the hero still there horrified and still doubting the horror that he just witnessed.

“How is this possible?” “No, no, no, this can’t be.” he said in disbelief

As the high Orc slowly walked towards him, the hero suddenly paused for a bit as he then clenched his fist while lowering his head.

“No… I can’t die here acting like a bitch,” he snapped

“Even if it seems impossible, at least let me die trying.” he declared as he tried to get up, pointing his sword towards the monster.

“I’ll fight if not for my life then for the lives of my fallen comrades!!!”

The high Orc suddenly vanished and appeared right in front him ready to raze the hero with a single punch.

“A giant that can move as fast as that? ...how?” he thought.

SLAM! The punch demolished the area of impact while sending debris flying everywhere. It then slowly removes his hand from the place of impact but notices how there was no trace of blood splat anywhere.

Not too far from the area where it stood, there he knelt, the one who at the last second came and saved the hero from his death, with the hero still in his arms (in princess carry style).

“Hey, hero, you still alive?”

“Wh..Who are you?” he asked with uncertainty.

He then lets out an inane smile. He slowly leaned the hero against a rock along the walls, then gets up, folds his arms and announced.

“I’m Yuta, a level 20 causal mage hunter.”

“Yuu...ta, cau…saul?, hunter?” the hero mumbled.

Then a voice came in from the distant.

“You look stupid.” it commented

“Oh yeahhhh, I’d like to see you do better.” Yuta angrily replied back to the voice.

“Watch me outwit you boy; I’m Najime, the badass level 20 causal hero.” he said,

Then there was a short moment of silence.

“Shit.” commented Yuta as he broke the silence.

“Huuuuh, come say that to my face, I dare you” barked Najime with a pissed off look,

“Sigh, anyways, not gonna lie, this is a pretty strong boss.” Najime pointed out while standing on the left shoulder of the high Orc

“Ahhhh, you don’t say” replied Yuta,

“Yep, pretty tough skin too.” added Najime as he tapped his foot on its steel like skin,

“Hmmm, in a yellow dungeon.” wondered Yuta.

“I think it’s one of those demon king candidates.” stated Najime.

“Huh” exclaimed Yuta.

Without any warning, with speed and strength it lands a slap on it shoulder where Najime stood. Yuta then turns back to the hero.

 “Sorry we came late, we kinda got lost.” he explained,

“…wait, you too came along too?” questioned the hero,

“Yep, we were in the far back you see” he answered.

The hero then snapped back.

“Wait, the other guy, he just got smashe-”

“Oh mhen, you really took a good beating from that guy” interjected Najime as he walked towards them.

The hero’s eyes widen as he was filled with shock after seeing Najime still alive.

“Level 20? Huuuh.” he muffled in shock.

“Hm, he really did inflict a lot of damage on you guys, you hero must have fought hard.” acknowledged Najime while he observed the scene.

“Some barely alive, my Guy.” added Yuta.

“Wait, you’re not dead?” voiced out the hero.

“Huuuuh, should I be dead?” he asked back.

(High Orc’s thoughts)

“Those two were able to dodge both of my attacks, they must be worthy opponents, no matter, I’ll just kill them all and be able to leave this dungeon.”

“Its energy levels are off the charts,” implied Yuta.

“So much so that anything below level 10 will easily die from being suffocated with such energy levels” he added.

“You think he bridged here?’ he asked as he scratched the back of his head.

“Well, you said he’s a demon king candidate, soooooo it could be possible.” answered Yuta while rubbing his chin.

Najime starts walking towards the high Orc.

“Well, whatever, am still gonna kill it anyw-”

“Oi, where you going?” interjected Yuta as he grabbed Najime’s shoulders.

“Kill the monster, duh.” he replied.

“Now wait a minute, weren’t you the one who slayed the last ‘allegedly’ op monster we came across?” inquired Yuta.

“Huuuuh, do you have amnesia or something? You’re totally the one who fought that monster… my guy.” answered Najime.

“Lies and lack of evidence don’t add up.” criticized Yuta.

“Huuuuuuuuh, you calling me a liar?” argued Najime with a pissed off expression.

As both of them continued to argue, the hero stared at them with deep confusion.

“Me and my teammates are at death’s doorstep after trying to face that thing,”

“And those two low rankers are over there fighting on whose going to kill it? …. Are we safe?” The hero voiced.

“Okay, okay, okay, I know how we can settle this.” said Yuta to break the tension.

“Alright, am all ears.” said Najime as he folded his arms.

Yuta the leans forward and gives out a thumbs up.

“ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS.” declared Yuta.

“Oooohhhhhh, ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!!!” yelled Najime in exhilaration.

“ROCK, PAPER, SCISSOR.”

“Hah, Najime wins.”

“Best 2 out of 3.”

“Bring it on.”

“ROCK, PAPER, SCISSOR.”

“Yeah, your boi yuta wins”

“ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS”,

As both their hands were still in the air about to land, Najime suddenly points over Yuta’s shoulders.

“Oh Yuta look, a hot chick with huge juicy boobs and juicy boom-tin’ thighs in stockings.” he yelled

And with no hesitation he swiftly turned the head to the direction.

“Where she at?” he stated As both their hands ready to unfold, letting Najime to see him move and countering it.

“You boob loving fool!” yelled out Najime with the most vicious grin.

The match was over with Najime as the winner.

“Dude, you obviously cheated” stated Yuta with a pale expression.

“Now now, don’t go crying over spilt boob milk” he advised while chuckling as he walked towards the monster.

“Now, the loser should go pick up the bodies and place them somewhere safe” he ordered while rotating his left shoulder.

(High Orc’s thoughts)

“The insolent human is coming for a one on one battle?... I’ll make sure to savory every one of their dying screams after squashing this one.”

As he let out a grin.
