Chapter 33 Birth Of A Monster



“U-uh…?!” My thoughts echoed in the darkness.r

I’m not dead? What is going on right now?r

I was all alone in the dark room, seeing an endless void around me.r

Nothing was in sight, except one which faced my surprised face.r

A window that glowed golden before me.r

“T-this is…?!”r

It has been empty so far, though.r

This most likely meant that I could finally choose one, right?r

“Let’s see what this is all about…” I said, still in a daze.r

Tapping on [Yes], a fresh set of words appeared before me, displaying a list.r

~More Information Will Be Available For The Job Selected~r

[Please Select Your Job]r

“Ah…”r

Mumbling to myself, I critically examined the list, taking countless factors into consideration.r

Many of the Jobs were attractive and suited me perfectly, but each of them had downsides that I couldn’t ignore.r

Plus, it didn’t state whether the Jobs can be changed at a later time. From my experience in games and fantasy novels, that is hardly the case.r

I can’t mess up here… any choice I make will be extremely vital to my survival and my life from now on out… if I will have one.r

Going through the list once again, my eyes caught something.r

“This is… could it mean?!” I gasped.r

Possibilities ran through my head until I finally made up my mind.r

My hands decisively reached for the icon as I tapped on it.r

I watched the new notifications with eagerness.r

[You Have Leveled Up]r

[You Will Now Regain Consciousness]r

[.]r

A bright light suddenly shone, causing my head to buzz in response. As I felt myself get pulled up into reality, a smile formed on my face. No, rather it was a large grin.r

My vision returned, and I resumed the scene I was in. The Hell Kobold (King) was already in front of me. Its sharp claws were raised above its head as it prepared to descend it on me, ripping it to shreds.r

But I was not going to allow that.r

A grin of amusement appeared on my face, and even though my body still felt sluggish, I wasn’t worried. Because…r

“<Recall>…”r

All my weapons scattered on the ground within the underground area shone and instantly vanished.r

However, those were not the only ones who experienced this. All the ones I expended above me, everything returned. I couldn’t explain it, but I could vividly feel every one of my weapons returning to my [Subspace].r

In an instant, my arsenal was chock full.r

And at that moment, I brought them all out using my second Job-related skill which had merged with [Subspace].r

Finally, I could do the thing I always wanted to do.r

“… <Summon>!”r

Several of my weapons instantly launched toward the massive Demon. In their hundreds, they poured out, damaging it, no matter how little.r

With a seemingly endless barrage of weapons, the King was forced to take steps backward. Using <Recall> and <Summon>, I made an unstoppable force of blades, bringing out and returning my items as I launched them.r

“Even if they are like pebbles to you… they must still sting!” I grinned.r

After retreating a few steps, the King became agitated and growled in impatience.r

“ROARRRRR!!” It sounded in rage.r

A red aura surrounded it, provided by the ‘MP’ it had. All the blades I summoned which had been dealing little damage to it bounced off its enhanced skin, having no effect on the monster now.r

“It’s protecting itself, uh?”r

Noticing this, I recalled my weapons back to [Subspace]. However, this was already within my expectations.r

“I’ve been waiting for this…” I grinned.r

While the monster roared.r

Now that I have finally gotten a job, I possess one of the most vital elements for survival.r

MP!r

“<Summon>”r

Instantly, all my Demon Cores appeared at the mouth of the roaring Demon, rushing down its throat while it still opened it.r

When using <Roar>, which is a ‘Buff’ Skill, the Demon is motionless for a while. A perfect opportunity for me to achieve this.r

“It was a close call, but… it’s my win!”r

As the Demon Cores all entered its stomach, the duration of the monster’s skill ended and it shut its jaws tight, glaring at me.r

Proceeding to launch its assault on my powerless form, it attempted to dash toward me.r

However…r

“Gurrruuuukkkk?!!!!”r

A puzzled expression appeared on its face, morphing into shock and then pain.r

“Guarrrruuulkkk!!!!”r

Its body started expanding, and a glowing light radiated from within its belly.r

“Guruuuuu-!!!”r

Before it could complete its final bellow of pain, the expanding demon finally popped in a loud explosion.r

>BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!<r

The loud detonation shook the room as pieces of burned meat splattered everywhere, along with boiling blood.r

As I watched the eruption and the monster’s head roll toward me, I couldn’t help but give a sadistic smile.r

“It looks like I win!”r
