(Demonic Forest)
Two masked girls are sitting on top of a tree. Both have the same fox mask on their faces. In the darkness of the night, their eyes are like those of a terrible beast. They can both see something very interesting in the distance.
-->>Does Marfa seem to see Junior Alex?
Murphy asked his younger sister about it. They've been watching Alex for a while now. They want to keep Alex safe even if it's not necessary. There are still many things they want to keep secret, it wouldn't be a problem if someone knew about their identity, but if someone knew about Alex's identity now, then the incident from a century ago could happen again.
-->>Murphy: We think it's best to stay here. Otherwise, the others might get suspicious. And besides, Uncle's family is there to protect him.
Marfa suddenly looked up at the sky and said. In the distance, a bird could be seen circling here all the time. Murphy also agreed with his younger sister. Although the two sisters looked the same, their powers were completely different. The younger one was more powerful in terms of brains and the older one in terms of strength.
The two decided to stay a little longer today. Then maybe they would go to their aunt's place in the capital.
On the other hand, Alex ordered his skeletons to fight. Alex himself is not a lazy king who will only wage war with his soldiers. That's why he jumped in himself. Because Alex also has to use his powers. Alex's every skill increases with the level, so he is not interested in skills. Basically, he has to use his spells.
"The only spell doesn't get stronger with my level."
Alex's spells depend on his intelligence. The more intelligence points in his stat, the more deadly his spells will be. Moreover, the more spells Alex uses, the stronger his spells become. Along with this, intelligence points also increase with the use of more spells. Which is quite good training for Alex.
Status points are not the only ones that can be increased with stat points. Each stat point can be increased through separate training. For example, agility and stamina can be increased through running, strength/vitality and stamina can be increased through pushups/situps/twitches, and intelligence can be increased through spells.
-->>And if you want to increase all of them at once, what else can be done than a fight? (Alex)
After level thirty, Alex realized to some extent that there was a restriction that had been removed. The restriction that had kept Alex's level and stats under control. Otherwise, when Alex first absorbed the hybrid, it would have allowed him to go up twenty levels at once.
Alex took the wooden sword in his right hand and jumped on the spiders. He ordered his skeletons to spread out in all directions. As Alex ordered, they spread out and started killing the spiders.
"Darkness"
Alex hasn't done anything with his team for a long time. Although he hasn't done anything in front of the others, Alex has created several spells on his own. He has the advantage of being a programmer of a fantasy game here. Although Alex doesn't know how spells actually work, he has been given some examples through science in his world. And after coming here, his knowledge about spells has increased even more.
Magic is all about imagination. The more imagination you have, the more beautiful and powerful your magic will be. Creating fire or water with your hands always requires a lot of imagination.
"As a fantasy lover, my imagination is a bit too much." (Alex thinks)
Alex used his spell Darkness. It's the opposite of a light spell. Alex created it after seeing Eba and Myra use light magic. Spells all depend on thought power. That's why Alex is able to create spells of his own attribute.
As soon as the Darkness spell was used, everything became dark. Previously, it was already dark all around. But suddenly, a round black barrier was created covering a large area. Nothing could be seen from outside. Not just from outside.
It's completely dark inside. No one, including Alex, can see anything here. But that's not a bad thing for Alex. His skeletons are demonic foxes, whose sense of smell is terrible. And besides, Alex has the Info skill. Which always shows him the location of the spider.
"Dark Ball"
Alex uses his left hand to hit the distant spiders that he can see through his Info skill with dark balls. Since the spiders are a bit higher level, Alex needs two dark balls for one spider. But don't worry. As long as Alex has mana energy, his spell won't need any cooldown. Which is a good point about the skill.
The Info skill gives Alex the location of every demonic beast. When activated, it displays the name and level of living objects in front of Alex's eyes. Although its use is only to display the name and level, Alex can use it to find demonic beasts. It works well in the dark.
Alex is killing the spiders near him with the help of the sword. And the ones far away with the help of the dark ball. Alex is having trouble seeing due to the darkness around him. Even then, it will greatly increase his sense of smell. Info can give the names and levels of all living things. So Alex is also knowing the locations of the trees in this dense forest. As a result, there is no fear of anyone eating berries from his trees while killing the demonic spider.
Alex's skeletons have started a pretty good massacre. Especially General Skeleton. His huge body has so much power that a single hand attack is enough to kill thirty level spiders. Although the rest of the skeletons are doing well, several of them have also died at the hands of the spiders. Alex doesn't care about that.
Alex was killing one demonic spider after another. With each spell he used, it seemed like his spell was getting stronger. Not only that, but with each sword slash, it also seemed like his sword was getting stronger. Alex paused. Despite the darkness, he kept looking at his wooden sword. It was very strange,
-->>This sword is still in good condition. It's very strong for a wooden sword.
The sword was given to Alex by his father. Although Alex knew that the sword was made of ordinary wood, he still couldn't help but be surprised. Because the condition of the dagger given by Chain was the same as the last few fights with the Earth Golems. And Alex had been killing demonic beasts with it since the beginning.
-->>Maybe I'm using energy well in the sword.
Alex thought that maybe he was using the energy well in the sword, so this wooden sword had not become anything yet. His father had said, "Once connected to the sword, anything can become a sword." Alex had been staring at it that day because he couldn't find any meaning in the words. But now he might have understood it a little.
Alex was killing demonic beasts one after another. However, he felt a bit annoyed when he saw no hybrids or anything else. So he started going deeper, where the number of demonic spiders also started to increase.

Mephas Kingdom,
There is a small town outside the Demonic Forest. The population of this town is only about five to seven thousand. Like the rest of the town, it is also surrounded by walkers so that demonic beasts cannot attack it. There is a small food shop on the border of the town. The shop is very popular for its main food, rice balls. Since it is on the border, people can always be seen here. There are still several customers in the shop. Everyone is talking and eating food one by one.
The cooking is done inside the thatched shop. Since it is small, tables and benches have been set up outside in the open space for customers to eat. Among the many tables, a boy is sitting at one of the tables. He has a mask on his face, and his yellow hair looks very mysterious. He is sitting and eating, but he is holding a katana tightly in his lap. The sheathed katana looks very old, and the boy's clothes are also nothing special. So no one pays attention to him.
The shop owner has a young son who usually serves food to all the tables. The shop boy approached the boy wearing a mask and sat down with two more rice balls. The owner's son asked,
-->>Mister, what's your name? I don't think I've seen you in this city, and you look like a foreigner.
The shopkeeper asked. The boy saw this masked man lying somewhere hungry. So he brought him here and gave him something to eat. The masked boy, seeing the little boy's generosity, introduced himself.
-->>Everyone around me calls me Lucifer.
The little boy laughed a little at Lucifer's words. He had never heard such a name before. And he thought the name was funny. So he couldn't help but laugh.
-->>Oh, sorry, mister. I've never heard of such a name before. My name is Elfo.
Elfo must be five or six years old. Lucifer looked at the boy carefully. Elfo was looking at him with a smiling face. Lucifer has been in this strange place for seven days now. He never had to struggle for food in his own palace, but after coming here, he had to go without food for seven days. The main reason for this was money. He had not brought any money here.
"How can I steal or eat for free as the King of Pride?"
Lucifer was thinking about this. But his thoughts changed again when he saw the food. After not eating for seven days, he put two rice balls in his mouth again.
-->>Mister, are you a swordsman?(Elfo)
Elfo was looking at the hungry Lucifer with great interest. This was the first thing Elfo and Lucifer talked about. Then Elfo brought him to his shop and fed him. Lucifer instantly forgot the pain of not eating for seven days. Since he had no money, at first his honor was preventing him from eating, but soon he gave in to hunger.
-->>Mister, I've never seen a sword like this before? What's its name? (Elfo)
The little boy looked at Lucifer's sword. Elfor has wanted to be a knight since he was a child, of course he is still young so he is not allowed to hold a sword, but it is natural to be interested at this age.
-->>Diablo is the name of this sword.
Lucifer said this to the boy's interest. The boy's eyes lit up upon hearing the name. He stared at the sword. Although no one would look at a sword covered in such rust, Elfor still had a special fascination for the sword. That's why he had a special affinity for all swords.
-->>Mister, your sword's name is really cool. You're a swordsman, right? Can you teach me four or five cool moves? I won't have to worry about the cost of food, I'll give it to you. Please, please, please. (Elfo)
The little boy wants to be a knight. With the sword, he will protect his family from enemies and demonic beasts. That's why he is very interested in swords at a very young age. However, they don't have many opportunities to become commoners. The boy has never seen a real knight. In this small town, there are several border guards who don't even know how to use a sword well. So Elfo couldn't learn anything from them, even though he learned from them.
"I only know one move and this boy wants to learn four or five moves from me. What the hell am I doing?" (Lucifer thinks)
After Lucifer finished eating, he got up from the table and said to the boy,
-->>Okay Elfo, then I'm going to teach you my most terrifying sword skill. Listen carefully and watch. (Lucifer)
Elfo stared intently at Lucifer. He had never felt so happy. The people he had learned swordsmanship from before couldn't even raise their swords properly. But this time it was different.
"I will learn from a true swordsman." (Elfo thinks)
-->>My skill is called "Quick Draw". It is so powerful that it can cut a mountain into two pieces. (Lucifer)
Lucifer said this with great pride, his hand on his sword. However, as soon as he said this, the people at the next table started laughing. He looked at the elf, not understanding the reason for their laughter.
-->>Mister, are you kidding me? These days, even kids take their swords out of their sheaths so quickly, are they cutting down mountains? (Elfo)
Elfo's words struck Lucifer in the chest. He didn't know what to say. He knew a skill. And no one gave it importance.
-->>But my skill is really special. It's not ordinary. (Lucifer)
-->>Wait, mister, I understand what kind of person you are. Do one thing. You won't get free food like this. There is a small hunter association in our city, you go there and register. You can earn money for food through small missions. (Elfo)
Elfo went inside the shop, feeling sad. He had set his hopes high to learn sword techniques. But the man said he would teach him quick draw. Hey, everyone can do that from birth.
Lucifer left there feeling upset. His pride was hurt a lot. Although he could tolerate everything, there was one thing he couldn't tolerate. That was when someone hurt his honor. But what would he do here?
-->>This place is going to turn into a battlefield anyway. Still, the boy's advice isn't bad. I need to visit this Hunter Association. (Lucifer)
Lucifer started walking into the city. In front of the food shop, there was a road with a small hill on the side. Walking along the road, you could see a high mountain. Lucifer was walking along this road. But suddenly a stone was falling on him from above. For which he suddenly used his skill "Quick Draw". It was so fast that it was not clear that he had used the sword from its sheath. Lucifer started walking again to himself. After walking some distance, he said,
-->>It seems I couldn't control my power again. (Lucifer)
Then the trail of the mountain disappeared from behind. It would seem to everyone that a terrible blast had occurred there. But in reality, with the help of Lucifer's skill, the small mountain had been cut into hundreds of thousands of pieces and turned into powder.
-->>I'll leave here before there's any trouble. (Lucifer)
There was no one around. Even if there was, no one could prove that Lucifer had done anything. His speed was so high that to the naked eye it would have seemed like he had walked normally. However, his destination was now the Hunter Association.
* * * * *
Meanwhile, Alex has forgotten about time while hunting demonic beasts. There is still a lot of level difference between him and his team. By killing demonic beasts, not only Alex's level is increasing. The level of everyone on his team is increasing. In his team, especially Moira and Duface, the levels are increasing very quickly, which is beyond imagination. Usually, killing demonic beasts gives experience or increases experience. Which is basically indicated by the level.
There is a projection in front of Alex. Which shows his status. Alex looks at his level. It has increased a lot.
-->>But it's not enough. I need to grind more levels.(Alex)
Alex looked around. His "Darkness" spell had expired. So he could see some of the survivors in the smoke of his skeleton. Alex stretched out his hand towards the dead spiders and ordered,
-->>Raise my skeleton army.(Alex)
As Alex spoke, a black liquid suddenly formed beneath the bodies of the demonic spiders. Their skeletons began to emerge from within. Alex looked at his army again, they had grown considerably.
To Be Continued ...
Tell me how it is.
