Woosshh.

The chilling wind swept through a devastated city. The sound of the wind that echoed through the city caused a hair-raising atmosphere. A complete desolation. There is no life can be detected around the city. The city that was called one of the busiest city in the world is completely void without a life.

Within the eerie silent of the city, a guy, wearing fully covered armor, a broadsword strap on his waist, walking calmly but beads of sweat can be seen on his foreheads shows how nervous he is walking in the city.

This place is dangerous. He thought.

No. Dangerous is actually is an understatement.

Why?

 This placed is called the most dangerous area in the world. Area 24, alongside 4 other places has been classified as the forbidden area by human kingdom union . No human is allowed to enter this place.

But he, alone, was allowed to enter the area since he is the strongest human in the world with level 499. One level more and he will be level  500, which is the level threshold for the level system that governs the world. It has been 500 years since the great calamity happened, and there is no one, even the great first emperor of the south and the genius third emperor of the east that was called the strongest emperor.

How did people know how strong someone is? It was during the great calamity when dark monoliths suddenly appear randomly on four at the north, south , east, and west. The monoliths have become the places where all of the kingdom’s capitals were build. The monolith shows the 10 strongest in the world.

There is never record that shows any person that ever achieved the lv 500 thresholds and he will be the first human that will achieve that level. With the thought of that, he bravely walk to find his prey. One of the disaster monsters who wields the power to destroy a kingdom easily, the legendary monster, a named monster, Embhar.

Roar!

Suddenly, a loud roar can be heard. As if it is a signal, he quickly unsheathed his beloved sword and take a fighting stance. His heart thumped quickly as the adrenaline increased within his body.

Boom!

A half-destroyed of a once 50-storey building in front of him crumbled as an oversized, majestic looking tiger ram through it. The tiger, Embhar,  bared it large size fangs that look like it can tear a reinforced building with its sharpness to him as a sign that the puny human in front of him is its prey.

The man, quickly boosting his body using his max level body reinforcement magic. Activating all the passive skill he possessed, he readied himself by confirming his target using the appraisal magic.

A loud roar echoed through the abandoned city signaling the start of an epic battle between the strongest human and the strongest monster, as the warrior charged at a speed that is impossible to be seen with naked eyes and collided with the monster.

 ---------------------------------------------

Whoosh.

The wind carrying dust swept through the place that was once called the most modern city in the world. There is no trace of the city can be seen. All of the buildings have been reduced to dust. Many craters can be seen on the place. Within the largest craters, the bloodied body of an oversized cat can be seen, the cat's head can be seen lying near its headless body. The warrior, the strongest human, stood proudly near the monster body. 

The warrior, the strongest human, stood proudly near the monster body. After an epic battle that used all his energy and strength for almost three days, he managed to emerge victoriously. But the victory does come with a heavy price, the missing right arm and a large wound across his face that also wounding his left eye leaving it useless. However, this doesn't affect him as his face shows how happy he is. Finally, he managed to be the first human to achieved level 500. 

Ding!

The sound of the usual notification can be heard. The wide grin on his face quickly vanishes as he read the notification.

Congratulation!!

By becoming level 500, you have evolved to high human.

You will receive skill that is special to a high human.
