BXBX NOVEL Chapter 112 - New Kingdom
"9 whole levels at once? I\'m surely the global #1 player as of now. But still, it came as the cost of the lives of all these people. Not that I care but... is the reason I feel no remorse when I kill because One pushes my emotions to the limits in turn making me numb?" Yuki asked himself as he sighed.
"It would\'ve felt better if my actions were caused by me and me alone. Having someone be there to secretly take all the credit ruins all the fun. Well, it\'s not like it matters now anyway. It has already happened so I\'ll just have to accept it and get over it. Getting hung up on small details such as these just wastes time which I don\'t have. Not technically... with a level increase this large, I\'ll be able to have some free time on my hands," Yuki said to himself.
Yuki watched as the sun rose back up as he laid in the soft grass. He thought about what his next moves would be. While on paper it would seem that he had completed 1/5 of his journey to become the first level 100 player, he knew that that was far from the truth. Just like in any video game, the progression rate begins to increase. Those who have managed to get past the fact that they have to face death each and every day will continue to progress. However, once they reach a point where it takes weeks up to months to reach the next level, that\'s when only a few will remain.
"Wait, I can probably use \'Fallen angel of hell\' a little better now. Along with being able to draw out more of its true ability, I should be able to be unstoppable for a while," Yuki said as he stood up from the grass.
[Open inventory]
Yuki placed "Fallen angel of hell" back into his inventory as he hadn\'t done that until that point. He would\'ve tried to use the blade once again however he knew that if he did do that, he would end up wanting to go back to the dungeons.
"I want to spend a few months exploring the world. Even 1 month would be enough. I can\'t be using up all my time in dungeons like a caveman. Human interaction is important since I\'ll have to use it when I\'m eventually King," Yuki tried to make excuses for himself as to why he was abandoning his quest of endless grinding.
"Wait, what about people who are in raid parties? Nevermind. Most people who would choose to work in a raid party wouldn\'t seek the first level 100 title. There could only be one person who will break their limits so while you can level up faster in said party, it\'ll always end in bloodshed if even one of them is seeking to become the first level 100 player. As for solo players, I doubt many would even grind to reach my rank by the end of their life times let alone within a few months. Most people have already tried the ways of becoming a player but they either quit from exhaustion, trauma or having other desires," Yuki said to himself as he tried to even out the choices people had in the new world.
"Even those who do have the will power to continue fighting will eventually crash because of the expectations they set for themselves. Having to live with the fact that other people are working as hard or harder than you to break their limiter has got to be tiring... that sounds like what I\'m doing. No point in overthinking it, I\'ll just go through with this," Yuki told himself.
"Hey Zero," Yuki called out.
"Yes, master. How may I be of assistance to you?" Zero asked.
"Just teleport me to another country within this world. Staying here would be a bad idea. The news of me killing all these people will spread like wildfire. While I would like to kill more of them and gain more exp, that would just continue the cycle. I want to get away from here for now," Yuki explained.
"Your wish is my command," Zero replied.
Within a blink of an eye, Yuki was at the doorstep of a kingdom which he hadn\'t seen before. While it was very similar to the one which he had spawned in, the people were completely different. To add on to that, the civilians had started to turn the outside of the kingdom as a farm of some sort. They had begun to expand their land and began to develop their tools and resources.
"Wait, what about the language barrier?" Yuki asked.
"I had already taken care of that when this world was created. Everyone only understands and speaks the english language," Zero explained.
"Well, thank you for all the help. You can go now," Yuki dismissed Zero.
Yuki quickly realized that he was basically naked while he wore his ripped pants which now looked like shorts and his royal cape. Yuki quickly ran to the side of the kingdom\'s outer walls and opened his inventory. Yuki took out the clothing which the king from the 8th stage of the first dungeon had bought for him. It was a light white t-shirt and black pants. The king also made sure to buy Yuki a new pair of white sneakers which came in handy since Yuki had burned off his shoes in the dungeon.
Yuki smelled himself and realized that he smelled horrid. He had forgotten to take a shower because he was stuck in the dungeons for so long. For other sanitary needs, Yuki would call upon Zero to bring him to the spatial dimension which he resided in and created a bathroom which Yuki would use when he needed to. However, due to him being excited to enter the next battle as quickly as possible, Yuki would often forget to take a shower.
"I\'ll just have to find a place to take a shower at in this kingdom," said Yuki as he walked through the giant double doors which led him to the kingdom.
"I\'ll have to keep a low profile here for the time being," said Yuki as he glared at all the people in the kingdom. It looked so peaceful and quiet. It was the ideal kingdom to be spawned into.
