My King System

Continuing to follow the orders of the system, the remaining 2 archer demons resumed their fire of arrows at Yuki.

"Don't worry, your time has come," said Yuki.

Yuki ran towards 1 of the towers and once again punched it to the ground. As the demon began to fall from the tower, instead of punching it like he had done to the other demon, Yuki caught it by its head. As he dragged the demon archer with his left hand, Yuki began walking to the final remaining archer tower which was occupied. Yuki once more struck the tower with this force of the bare right fist. As the final demon archer lost its balance and began to fall, Yuki caught it right before it could fall to the ground and die.

"This is what you get for torturing me with your arrows," said Yuki as he squished their heads together and crushed them. Once the deed was done, Yuki dropped their bodies to the ground and took a look at his hands.

"Such filth," said Yuki.

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out a water bottle from his inventory and used the water contained inside to wash his hands. Unlike many may think, Yuki didn't feel sad or regretful because of his actions. On the contrary, he had felt accomplished like a teenager who had just beaten a hard level in a video game. In truth that was what had basically happened, as such, there would be no reason for anyone to criticize his actions.

[+50000 exp from infantry unit]

[+12500 exp from archer demons]

[Player: Yuki Kaito]

[Level 8: 81000/90000]

"Looks like level 9 isn't that far away," said Yuki.

Yuki felt excruciating chest pain as he fell to the ground, instantly making his smile fade away. Every single cell of his body ached. His head was in so much pain that Yuki stopped thinking about anything, his eyes began to smell as he bled from his nose. Yuki yelled in pain as it was the only thing he could do.

"I knew that using the potions came with a draw back but this is too much," Yuki said as he rolled around the ground, clenching his stomach with all his strength as he held on for dear life. While many others would've learned their lesson from experiencing this amount of pain, Yuki chose another way of dealing with it. The tolerance for the human body, regardless of their level, was 10 potions a day. Having to face many foes all by himself during the short time he had spent in the dungeon caused him to resort to consuming potions to close the gap in power. Each level difficulty was set up to let the player know what level they needed to be to survive, not defeat the stage. Regardless of the player number, if they did not meet the level requirement, their change of survival would drastically decrease.

"Zero I need help here," said Yuki, knowing that his guardian would reply.

"Yes master, how may I be of assistance. You seem to be in quite a lot of pain," replied Zero.

"Just heal my body back to how it was before," said Yuki.

"Before I do that, I would like you to know that if I were to do that, I would be giving you external support in this video game-like word. To put it simply, you would be considered a cheater, master," said Zero.

"I don't really care. Why should I let my pride get in the way of me being successful? If I have the ability to benefit myself whenever I wish for it, why should I prevent myself from using it?"

"Just hurry up and heal me," said Yuki.

"As you wish, master," Zero replied.

A green aura began to shroud Yuki, instantly healing his wounds and recovering his internal organs from the stage they had been put in due to the overuse of the potions.

"Thank you for the help, you can go away now," said Yuki.

"Farewell master," Zero replied.

Now feeling refreshed, Yuki stood up from the ground and began to walk towards the gateway leading to the next stage of the dungeon. Seeing the tunnel made Yuki sick to the stomach. He couldn't imagine going through endless hell 7 more times. It was unbearable for a teenager to get through 1 stage of any dungeon, let alone 13 stages. There had been many times when Yuki wanted to give up on his quest and enjoy the rest of his life. Even as a level 2 player, anyone would live a comfortable life within the world. Only some would continue the journey of leveling up after having put their life on the line once, let alone as many times as Yuki.

While he was reckless, Yuki had every right to be the way he was. If he were to ever die, he could resurrect himself through Zero. He basically had a respawn button at his disposal. While this may have been the case, many would have chosen to bring allies with them to clear dungeons. While this might have been a good option if all the person wanted was to earn the silver offered at the half way and end point of the dungeon. However the exp share feature would mean that the more players there were, the more time it would take for Yuki to level up. Along with the emotional strain that would come if one of the raid party members were to die during the raid. It wouldn't be uncommon for such occurrences as the only time the system offers a player to exit the stage is if a minute amount of health is remaining. As such if said player were to take an immense amount of damage all at once, the notice would not appear and they would die.

As Yuki continued walking toward the tunnel which led to the gateway, an object dropped from the sky.

[Item drop: Demon bow]

Yuki double tapped on the bow which had a very detailed shape. Most of it was the colour red which resembled the skin of the demon archers. However the ends were black and textured like the demon horns.

[Rank: E]

[Attack: 0]

[Description: Power: A bow which can only be used by the demon race, depending on the demon, the damage and rank will either increase or decrease. The very finest and skilled archers were hand picked by Hades himself to serve in his demon army. To each was given a special bow which can only be used by a demon. As such if the archer were to lose its bow, the next person who found it would find it to be useless. However the archer who had lost the gift given to them by the ruler of the underworld would lose its life. Losing something that had been given to you personally by Hades would be considered a sin, as such you would receive the punishment he chose for you.]

"Hmm, interesting. It would be fun to have the ruler of the underworld be my personal archer," said Yuki as he placed the bow into his inventory along with the other items he had taken out during the dungeon.
