[important message]
okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC
Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

(Note from the author: This is chapter 172 not 171. I accidentally published this one first. I checked to see if I could do something about this mistake but i couldn't. Please don't haze me about this, it'll never happen again,i swear🙏🙏🙏🙏]


Zaine smiled. Sure the free level up was good but he came here expecting a fight, and it seemed he wouldn't be leaving disappointed .


The sound was getting closer and closer despite the fact that he couldn't see it yet. He decided to prepare a welcome gift for the beast 


An aura of red slowly seeped into the dark energy gathering in his right hand. His stats immediately boosted exponentially, including the attack power of his skills.


He held the attack for as long as he could, and when he felt like he might loose control, he immediately launched it towards the entrance. A few seconds passed and although the attack connected ,the sound he heard was one he didn't expect. Was that... metal?".


Chapter 171 - Chapter 172(error)
