My King System

"I should've known, he could at any time change his ability if the situation ever got this bad. I was too careless," Meurig began to get enraged.

Before he made any more reckless decisions, Meurig halted.

"Hold on, I can still use my ability to find his location, I was worried for nothing," Meurig thought to himself.

"Activate ability: Tracker" said Meurig as he began to focus.

Instantly, Meurig fell to his knees. His breathing was now aggressive as if he was hanging on for dear life.

"I guess the drawback is catching up with me," Meurig said to himself.

Behind him, two people stood up and seeing the opportunity, stabbed Muerig in his shoulders before kicking him to the ground.

"That's what you get for trying to assassinate our master," one of the men behind Meurig said.

The blades disintegrated as expected but they had already done their damage.

"If only I hadn't wasted so much of my stamina, I could have stopped the blades with my sheer defence," Meurig said.

He knew that draining an immense amount of his stamina would also jeopardize his other stats but he was fine with that. Meurig didn't expect things to go so wrong.

"I shouldn't have underestimated someone who made Yuki concerned," Meurig gritted his teeth.

Now limping, Meurig began to slowly leave the bar. There was no point in chasing after his target anymore. If he were to activate his ability again, he would just end up wasting stamina. They probably had created a large between Meurig and themselves. It was useless to go after them.

As Meurig got down the stairs, he noticed that everyone was quiet and on edge. One of the people in the back stood up as if issuing a challenge to Meurig.

Meurig didn't care anymore. He was once human, at least in his made up memory. He wanted to feel sympathy towards others. He didn't want to kill anyone. Meurig believed that life was sacred and that it should be protected. However, in that moment, Meurig forgot all of that.

The man from the back came forward and was now facing the limping Meurig in the middle of the bar. Everyone watched with suspense.

"Even if he's a strong monster, he has been weakened. The monster can be defeated!" the people in the crowd believed.

The man facing Meurig was buff and looked to be in his early 20s. He was wearing a navy turtleneck and black jeans.

"Go back to where you came from!" the man in front of Meurig yelled as he threw a punch.

Before the attack could make contact, the man froze in place. The exhausted Meurig had managed to place his palm on his shoulder. Meurig had managed to control his disintegrating ability and stopped himself from becoming a murderer. However, it didn't stop the side effects it carried.

The man began to sweat profusely. It was as if he was breathing from a string sized tube. His heart began to beat at tremendous speeds. His head began to get heavy until he could only see back and hear a beeping sound. Finally the man fell face first into the floor.

Everyone sat silent as this event took place before Meurig exited the bar and went on to meet Yuki at their rendezvous point.

As Meurig continued on his journey to the entrance/exit gate of the kingdom, he grew ever more exhausted. Before long, he was unable to control his presence. A death inducing aura began to surround him, anyone who tried to get close to him would instantly stop where they were standing or pass-out.

Seeing a monster within the kingdom made the civilians uneasy. Those who were brave enough to challenge him passed out before they could get close enough to him. Even bystanders had to force themselves to stop from puking. The menacing aura which Meurig was emanating was unheard of.

"What happened to you?" Yuki asked.

Meurig was shocked to hear his friend's voice. He hadn't realized that his body had gone into auto pilot and managed to get him to the place which he and Yuki were supposed to meet.

"Are you really even concerned for me or did you just say that so you could later ask about the details of the mission?" Meurig asked in an irritated tone.

"You know me too well," Yuki smiled.

"I'm kidding, while I am intrigued at what would cause this much damage to you. Right now, I need to focus on healing you," Yuki suddenly turned serious.

This was unexpected as Meurig had thought that Yuki only saw him as a weapon and not as a friend. Even though he tried to tell himself that Yuki and him were friends, deep down he believed that a murder could never have enough emotions to comprehend the concept of friendship.

Yuki pulled out a full status recovery potion and handed it to Meurig.

"Drink up," Yuki smiled once again.

Meurig took off the rubber lid that was covering the capsule and drank the lime coloured liquid inside. Meurig instantly felt better and managed to fix his posture.

"I thought you used up the last of your potions in the last stage of the dungeon," said Meurig.

"I did, I just restocked on supplies after I escaped. It would save time since you were busy dealing with the user of 'INFINITE HOTEL'," Yuki replied.

Meurig was satisfied with the answer.

"So where do we go now?" Meurig asked.

"To be perfectly honest, I haven't decided yet."

"I'm pretty sure the filter has already been applied by now, it's been about 3 months since the new world began," Yuki responded.

"What do you mean 'filter'," Meurig was confused by what Yuki had said.

"I meant that all the people who aren't willing to sacrifice everything to reach level 100 are gone."

"It only takes about this long for people to get bored of something new. The human mind always yearns for what it doesn't have. As such, they'll get bored of the concept of getting stronger and give up on it, only a handful of people will have the will power to continue this journey," Yuki replied.

"Even then, I still have the advantage since I have more knowledge on this world than anyone else. More and more people will begin to get filtered out, it's gonna be a survival of the fittest," Yuki continued.
