I sat down at the table, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible. Horn sat down across from me, his eyes fixed on mine with an unnerving intensity. As Horn sat across from me, his eyes gleaming with excitement, he exclaimed, "I can't believe you were really invited by the princess to attend the party!" The sudden topic caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.It seemed that the news had spread like wildfire, reaching even the commoners. I had thought that only a few high-ranking nobles knew about the invitation, but it seemed that Horn was also aware of it. The thought was unsettling, as it meant that my presence in the city had already been known. If Horn knew about it, then it was likely that many others did as well.I tried to compose myself, trying to appear nonchalant despite the growing unease inside me. "Yes, it's true," I said, trying to sound casual. "The princess invited me to attend the party."Horn's eyes lit up with excitement, and he le
Horn had, in effect, saved the man from a catastrophic outcome, and yet, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear. Had he really done the right thing by intervening?Would Ethan turned his anger to him?Ethan despised such frivolous displays of power and privilege more than anything else. Some may have labelled him a demon or a devil, but the truth was far more nuanced. It wasn't that Ethan engaged in outright evil acts; he wasn't like many nobles who toyed with the lives of commoners, nor did he indulge in the vices of women or drugs.No, Ethan's vice lay in his propensity for destruction. When the urge to demolish took hold, he would become consumed by it, losing himself in the throes of his compulsion. In one such episode, he had accidentally taken the lives of several nobles, his mind clouded by the red mist of rage.It was a burden Ethan carried, a dark self that haunted his every waking moment. He knew that his actions, though unintentional, had caused immeasurable pain and s
Duke Dion strode into the grand hall, his very presence commanding the attention of all who laid eyes upon him. As the capital was his domain, it came as no surprise that he was the first among the dukes to grace the Emperor's table with his arrival.[Duke Dion - Level 234][???]The sheer power radiating from this man was palpable, and as I attempted to analyze him, I found myself confronted with a wall of uncertainty. It seemed that my skills were no match for those who towered over me by more than fifty levels, their true nature obscured from my prying eyes.In the wake of Duke Dion's entrance, a veritable procession of his offspring followed suit. Sons and daughters alike, each bearing the unmistakable mark of their father's lineage, filled the hall with their presence. It was a display of familial might, a testament to the strength and influence that flowed through the veins of this noble house.The grand hall of the imperial palace buzzed with anticipation as the scions of the
I lost all my senses as I was enveloped in the terrifying darkness. I felt as if I was separated from everything I had a connection with, the material world, my senses. Trying to remember what happened to me, but all I could remember was that I died and found myself in a strange place before everything became filled with darkness. Yes, I remember one more thing. The voice I heard before being enveloped in darkness was saying something about some system activating. While I was dwelling in these thoughts, sounds began to come in from all directions and just as it reaches me, I hear a voice. [System Activation Successful] [Status] [Level:1] Is this what I think it is..... [Stats] HP: 50 DEF: 15 ATK: 9 [Other stats are locked] Holy shit! So if I am correct, I just got reincarnated into some world with a system. Does this mean I am some hero with OP skills like in those novels I read!?
I saw it, something I never would have wanted to see.A beast that I have seen in the games I have played. The epitome of strength, brutality and madness.Orcs.It made me come to the reality that the world I am in now is not Earth anymore. All this time I was still going easy with everything treating it as if I am in some game.The wolflike beast that I saw earlier is being held in one of its arms as it uses the other to tear it in half. Just to remind you, the wolflike beast is at least 3 times larger than me, but it wasn't even worth comparing to that Orc.I thought that Orcs were at least twice the size of a human but the one I am seeing right now is easily 5 times the size. that also makes me realize how gigantic this place is. Even though the Orc is almost 15m in height, it doesn't even reach half the length of this place from the ground to the ceiling.Does this mean that there are monsters or beast that is larger than the Orc in fron
[Stealth has reached level 3]Hmm? Nice! Skill level up!But how did it levelled up? I didn't even hide...I get it. What I am doing in this hole is hiding! Does that actually count? This is such a huge opportunity to farm my skill level for my stealth. I should try and see what other skills I can level up in this way.I'll think about that later, I need to hunt today. It's not every day I'll get free food from the Orcs. But engaging in combat means instant death for me based on the monster I have met till now.I'm sure there are other weaker monsters in this place, Right!!?? If not I am totally screwed.I also need a safer place as my shelter, the hole I am staying in now may be safe for now but if I am found it's more like a death trap cause I have no way out.I'm so hungry...Hiding in my shelter there's only one thing on my mind.FOOD!!I'm starting to remember all the delicious foods I have eaten in my previous life,

I haven't thought about it seriously before because I was occupied with more important stuff but are Epic rank monsters that common? Aren't they supposed to be near impossible to find, more like whoever finds them doesn't live to tell the tale but I am now doubting whether Epic rank is that high of a rank at all? In just one day, I came across two Epic rank monsters even though they were newborns they were still Real Epic rank monsters. Epic rank or not, it doesn't change the fact that I am going to kill that baby dragon today. No pain no gain as people use to say in my world or do I say my previous world? Although I am worried there will be more pain than gain or quite possibly pain only, I was a person who lived for overpowered skills, I cannot live without having anything overpowered in my arsenal of skills or abilities. And one thing that could possibly give me something overpowered is killing an Epic rank monster, not just any monster but a Dragon. Maybe a title like the Dragon
