The top of the mountain was really quiet except for the breathing of the Goblin King. The Goblin King was like a dream it was big and strong and mean standing seven feet tall with a rough stone axe that looked like it could smash a whole building. The Goblin King was a thing to see, with the Goblin Kings big muscles and the Goblin Kings nasty thoughts.
"Get back both of you!" Soo-yun shouted. Her face was really pale because she was so scared. The situation was too much for Soo-yun and the people, with her to handle. Soo-yun thought that they had gone far with this.
As I took a step forward a blue screen that you could see through appeared in front of my eyes. This blue screen was a little strange because it was flickering on and off. The blue screen was very distracting. It made it hard for me to see what was, in front of me. The blue screen was blue. It was translucent which means I could see things behind it but it was still very noticeable.
[ New Quest: The Lone Sovereign ]
Objective: Defeat the Boss Monster without any assistance.
Reward: S-Rank Skill — [ Sword Master ] and the right to [ Class Promotion ].
A small smile came onto my lips. Was I really alone? The world thought I was worthless it called me "trash". The System was giving me a chance to become a King. Then out of nowhere the System gave me another message:
I just got a power up. It is called Universal Learner. This is a big deal because it is a Limit Break. So now I have Sub-Skill 2 Activated. It is Universal Learner. This is going to help me learn lots of things. Universal Learner is a powerful skill and I am excited to use it.
You have done a job learning Soo-yuns Wind-Dance Swordsmanship. This is an accomplishment. Soo-yuns Wind-Dance Swordsmanship is now something you have mastered.
I said to Soo-yun "Lend me your sword. I am handling this by myself." My voice was calm. I sounded very serious.
Yuri screamed "What? Are you crazy?" She said this because the person was an F-Rank. Yuri thought that the other person would beat them easily. "He will defeat you with one hit" Yuri said. She was really worried, about the F-Rank person. Yuri did not think the F-Rank person stood a chance. "You are an F-Rank" Yuri said again "he will blow you away with one breath".
I did not look back. Soo-yun handed me her blade slowly. The moment my fingers wrapped around the handle of Soo-yuns blade I remembered the techniques of the Cho family. These techniques came to my mind quickly like lightning. The Cho family techniques were something that I had learned about before. Now they were all coming back, to me.
[ Battle Start! ]
The Goblin King was really loud. He slammed his big axe into the ground. Then a lot of Goblin Soldiers came out of the earth. I ran forward fast. I swung my sword. It made a slashing sound. I used the Wind-Dance style to fight. The Goblin King and his Goblin Soldiers were no match, for me. I cut off the heads of three Goblin Soldiers in one second.
Ding! +50 Gold Coins.
Ding! +50 Gold Coins.
I was fighting with all my might. Something just did not feel right. I did not have Soo-yuns Mana. That made my strikes a little slower than they normally were. The Goblin King saw this as his chance. Swung his huge axe right at my head. Death was really close inches away, from me. I was fighting for my life and Soo-yuns Mana was what I really needed to survive this battle with the Goblin King.
Something weird happened to my body all of a sudden. It was like I had this energy inside me. My Infinite Evolution talent knew that I was, in trouble. It could tell that something was really dangerous and it was not going to be okay if I did not do something about it. My Infinite Evolution talent was trying to warn me that I had to be careful.
[ Alert! Host's life is in critical danger! ]
The Infinite Evolution process has started now.
[ Evolving ocular nerves to track enemy patterns... ]
[ New Sub-Skill Unlocked: 'Tactical Eye'! ]
The world came to a standstill all of a sudden. Everything turned into shades of black and white. The Goblin Kings body had a few spots that started to glow with a really bright red light. The Goblin Kings right eye was one of these spots. So was the vein in the Goblin Kings neck. There was also a crack, in the Goblin Kings chest armor that was glowing like this.
These were his Weak Points.
The game was not the same anymore. The King swung his axe again. I had already figured out where it was going. I jumped up into the air I ran across the handle of the Kings axe. I pushed the sword straight into the Kings right eye.
"RAAAAAUGH!" He let out a roar because he was in a lot of pain and he was waving his arms around like he could not see. For the ten minutes I was, like a shadow I was moving all around the person who was roaring and I was hitting every red point that I saw on the person who was roaring.
I got all my strength together. Then I pushed the blade right through his throat. I was using every bit of my strength to do this to him, with the blade. The blade went through his throat. That was it.
I finally beat the boss. The boss is defeated. This is a deal because the boss was really tough. I am very happy that the boss is defeated now. The boss being defeated is amazing.
I just got an amount of experience points. This is really great. I am very happy that I got many experience points, from this. The experience points I gained are massive.
[ Your Current Level: 10 ]
You have a lot of experience points. If you do the Class Promotion thing it will take you straight, to Level 17 away.
Our team just got a bonus because Soo-yun and Yuri made it to Level 10. This is great news for our team. Soo-yun and Yuri have been working hard and now they are at Level 10. We are all very happy about this. Soo-yun and Yuri reaching Level 10 is a deal, for our team.
I was breathing hard as I walked past the body that was falling apart. I headed towards the Red Light that was flashing at the edge of the cliff. When my fingers touched the Red Light:
[ Hidden Quest Completed! Rewards: ]
S-Rank Skill: [ Sword Master ] (Absolute mastery of all bladed weapons).
Special Feature: [ Power Mask ] (The ability to hide your true level and stats).
I turned on the Power Mask away. Now my level shows up as Level 1 to everyone. The Power Mask makes it look like I am a beginner. I have the Power Mask on. It says I am, at Level 1.
When I turned around Soo-yun and Yuri were standing there like they were made of stone. Soo-yun and Yuri were still. "Ji-Jin-woo how did you do that? That is just not possible!" Yuris voice was shaking badly. Soo-yun and Yuri were really surprised.
I shrugged my shoulders. Looked really innocent. "I have no idea " I said. "Maybe the Boss was hurt already. My luck is really good today. Just look my level is still the same it has not changed all. The Boss and my level they are, like that. My level is still the same and the Boss well the Boss was probably already wounded when I saw it.
They were confused, but the System's display didn't lie to them. They had no idea that the boy standing before them was now a Level 17 Sword Master in disguise.
