My King System

[+90000 exp]

[Player: Yuki Kaito]

[Level 10: 199000/200000]

Yuki stood still as Martyn's body disintegrated from the system acknowledging that the stage's mini boss was defeated. Yuki stared at the stage ceiling, waiting for his prized item to drop for it. Just as it had always, dim white light particles began to form and gather as they connected to each other and formed the item which were to be awarded to Yuki. The light began to dim even more until it was completely gone and unveiled the item.

The floating item descended from the air and fell to the ground right in front of it. Intrigued by it, Yuki bent down and picked it up. It was a brown necklace with many beads on it. In the very middle of it was a sharp but jagged tooth which looked to belong to a large animal. 

"Another item from a set?" Yuki asked himself before double tapping the item to open its information tab. 

[Item drop: Demon necklace]

[Rank: B]

[Attack: +275]

[Description: Power: Item that belongs in the set "demon soldier: 2nd category". The strongest demon soldier only exists because of the ones who molded it into existence. No one-be it human nor demon ever wishes to sacrifice their entire life training just to please others. As such, the ones around them are what influences someone to train and push past their limits. The story of the strongest demon soldier is no different. The title is bestowed upon the one who is uncontested in strength throughout all demons who reside in the underworld. That specific demon is the one who will earn the honour to be bestowed with such a title from the lord of the underworld Hades. There is only one demon who is bestowed the title at a time and only when the current holder of the title is defeated that another one shall be selected. Some gain strength through hatred, others seek it to protect the ones they care for. These characteristics influence their attitudes but no matter what, they still obey their ruler with no questions asked.]

"Not a half bad story but that's not the important part. It says +275 instead of just 275 like a normal dagger or sword. Does that mean that it adds to my personal attack power? I should probably ask Zero- actually, I'll just figure it out myself," Yuki had felt a little guilty as he called on Zero for even the most minor things. 

"More importantly, I see he included the subcategory part. Let's see... the main set includes, helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, shield, and weapon. Then in the sub category it has a ring, necklace and book. I could try and equip some of the items I have... that would be just a waste of time, most of them are barely useful," said Yuki.

"I'll just come back here once I've reached a higher level so that they'll offer me a higher ranked item with more power. That's only if Zero included that part of my request as well," Yuki said as he sighed and began to walk towards the white light indicating where the stage's gateway was. 

"Oh wait," Yuki interrupted himself. 

Yuki stared at the icon which was always positioned at the top right of his eyesight. It was always there, no matter how much he dried to look away from it, it was always right where he last saw it. 

Yuki pressed on said gear like icon to open his settings. Right as he did so, a large blue screen popped up in front of him. The blue screen was transparent and had a lot of different icons and texts on it. To the left side of the blue screen were the main icons. The first one was a person-like icon which activated the [Open profile] command. Right below it was a backpack-like icon which activated the [Open inventory] icon, which was what Yuki was looking for. While there were other icons for Yuki to explore, he didn't care much for them

[Open inventory]

Yuki had tapped the backpack like icon, allowing his hotbar for items to be opened. As Yuki moved the necklace he had received from the 7th stage of the dungeon as a reward closer to the hotbar, the item began to shrink in size until it was just a 2-D object which fit perfectly into one of the many empty boxes in Yuki's 2-D inventory hotbar. 

Once Yuki had accomplished what he had wanted, he continued to walk towards the stage's gateway tunnel. The black walls with their deep engravings which gleaned the colour blue contrasted well with the white light which blocked Yuki's vision of the next stage. 

[Stage seven: Complete]

[Save point reached]

[If you would like to move to the 8th stage of the dungeon, please step forward]

[Stage eight difficulty: level 9-10]

"Hey Zero," Yuki called out before he passed through the gateway.

"Yes, master. How may I be of assistance," Zero replied. 

"Can you reset my tolerance of potions back to 0?" Yuki asked.

...

"It has been done," Zero replied. 

While the boosting effect which the potions have deactivated after the initial goal that they were used for is accomplished, their drawbacks remained until 24 hours had passed. For the position tolerance of a person to return back to 0, they needed to have refrained from consuming any potion for said amount of time unless they wanted to experience the punishment of the system. This was the precise reason Yuki asked zero to return the position tolerance to 0 and not the effects. The effect themselves were already back to 0 since Yuki had defeated his enemy. Yuki knew this because he both felt his state of overpowered-ness leave his body and the fact of him knowing most of the game mechanics remained. 

"Here we go again," said Yuki as he passed through the white light. In the moment where he touched the white light and it began to disintegrate, a single thought came into his mind.

"Why do I feel so happy, yet feel like I'm missing something at the same time?"
