3. The Sky that Bled Apocalypse
Holy shit! Why is the sky bleeding? Isn't that a huge wasp coming out of the bleeding sky? I'm naked—I need to run away from it and get some clothing to at least cover my junk.
Beez beez
The wasp is flying towards me.
Slam!
A flying tree hit the wasp down to the floor. More are still coming! The wasps are one thing, but a deadly storm too? How am I going to survive this? "My little sister's comic book"… but where is it? Let me check if I have an inventory.
A mini spatial hole appeared by my side the moment I made the statement. I dipped my hand into it and picked up the comic book.
Upon flipping the pages, I came across the page where the storm disaster was drawn. From the information here, the storm is controlled by the wasp queen, and if I kill the wasp queen, I stop the storm. But it also states that she's a super-strong army boss—not to mention all those wasps I have to get through. There's also a pair of clothes in here too—a plain white T-shirt and silk pants.
I continued to run; there was no place to hide in sight. I hurriedly put on the clothes. The moment I stopped to wear them, the wasps increased their speed.
"Oblivion Circuit activate!" I shouted out of desperation as they came at me with blazing speed.
I can't process what just happened. Now all the wasps within a 5-meter radius burst, splashing green ooze on me.
My white shirt is heavily stained. "What the hell is this?" I wiped the ooze that splashed on my face off. I think some entered my mouth—I can taste it.
Texts appeared before me.
[+5 EXP ×30]
[Survival System activated. All EXP received has been doubled.]
[You have leveled up ×4]
Whoa! I did not expect this kind of overpowered ability at the start of this hellish journey. How do they say it again? "Status window."
A screen opened in front of me.
The Survival System doubles the amount of EXP I receive and the effects of my skills. My level is 5. I have two skills. The D-rank skill called "Disarray." According to the description, it's supposed to disrupt the mana of entities in a 5-meter radius.
My 100% Crit Rate skill gives a hundred percent chance to inflict damage on my opponent based on my current Crit Damage. With the boost from the Survival System and the High Elf trait, it's now 350%.
[Excess Crit Rate will be transformed into Crit Damage]
My Crit Damage is currently 260. According to what's written here, any time I level up, my Crit Damage increases by 2.
Attack doesn't matter. All I need is high Crit Damage.
The unique characteristic of the Oblivion Circuit is disruption. It lays astray an entity's mana, causing it to go haywire. I guess along the line I will receive more skills related to this. The good part is that none of my skills require mana.
But due to the effects of both the Survival System and my High Elf trait, it now disrupts the mana of entities, causing them to burst like earlier. I scroll down the screen, then I see that at level 20 my circuit will upgrade to Strata Two, which will make my disruption capabilities even stronger.
Though it's good for melee combat, when I meet an opponent that doesn't use mana, what am I going to do then? Well, that's not my concern for now. I need to take down that wasp queen.
"Disarray."
The wasps continued to burst as I walked towards the queen at the back. The queen decided to attack me, charging straight at me with her stinger. The instant she entered the 5-meter radius, she burst.
Nice try, wasp queen. You may be strong, but I'm just too broken.
[+5 EXP ×100]
[+2,000 EXP]
[All EXP received has been doubled.]
[You have leveled up ×10]
[You have acquired a B-rank Oblivion Circuit skill scroll]
[Your D-rank skill Disarray has evolved to C-rank]
[Congratulations! You are the first player to kill an army boss]
[You have gained an A-rank Knowledge Scroll]
Whoa, whoa—the rewards keep on coming. According to the comic, skill scrolls are how players gain new skills related to their circuit. Now this is the amazing part: a Knowledge Scroll is an extremely rare type of scroll that grants players a skill from another circuit. What's it going to be? I'm so excited.
Hina, look at your big bro now! Oh… I forgot she isn't here. I miss her so much.
I opened the scroll eagerly. A bright light emerged from it, and it turned to dust in my hand.
[You have obtained the B-rank Assassin Circuit skill: Shadow Energy Manipulation]
"Shadow Energy Manipulation." The name of the skill sounds so cool. I wonder what it does. Status window.
This is just incredible. Due to the effects of the system and my trait, instead of creating just one shadow weapon at a time, I can create three. The skill consumes shadow energy, not mana. I don't know how, but I have 2,000 shadow energy. The skill requires 2 shadow energy per object.
My skill Disarray now extends for about 10 meters, and it's always activated. I just need to select my target.
Five more levels to reach level 20. I don't have a map, so how will I find a city?
"The comic book."
The answers are always there. According to the info here, this Bakodang is an apocalyptic world, but there are still civilizations currently. However, there is racism among the various races.
So as a High Elf, I should head to the stronghold of the High Elves. The High Elves are the least populated species, so they stay together with the Elves as their leaders. Does this mean I get to be a prince or something? That's even cooler. They are an authoritative race and carry themselves like gods.
Noted. So I just have to behave all high and mighty.
From what I'm seeing here, the settlement of the High Elves and Elves is in Mistral Forest. So how do I find Mistral Forest? Do I just wander aimlessly?
Thud thud thud thud.
I heard the footsteps of someone running in this direction. I stood up from the rock I was sitting on and prepared to attack.
A female figure emerged from the far end of the beach.
"Help! Help me!" the girl screaming for life . Something huge about 29 feet tall follow behind her . What heck is that?
