SLICE-SLICE-SLICE-SLICE!
Daisuke was reckless, relentless, and ruthless. His strikes were shallow, barely grazing the surface, but it was the sheer speed and volume of his attacks that made them devastating. Each cut stacked debuffs upon debuffs, weakening Gothor’s defenses and stamina with arming efficy.

“Rawr!”
A mana-fed cw ripped through the throat of a Goblin without hesitation. Zephyr didn’t pause to watch the creature’s well-deserved demise; he was already leaping toward the arget, exging rapid blows. His Lifesteal and Magicsteal skills pulsed with each strike, replenishing his energy and vitality. Crag blue lightning surged around him itently, arg through the battlefield arog nearby foes.
ered now, the pup darted bato the narrow passageway where he and Daisuke had first entered, drawing the Goblins after him. Their snarls filled the air as they waved their ons, rushing in blindly. Too te, they realized they had fallen into a trap—the fined space leaving them vulnerable. Zephyr’s pn paid off as a torrent of fmes engulfed the pursuing horde, redug them to charred remains.
Daisuke leaped back as the enraged Field Boss spun like a tornado, its massive arms battering the nearby Goblins with the force of a wreg ball, sending them hurtling through the air like fragile ceramic figurines.

ic Cutter aeor Smash—these are undoubtedly my stro attack skills. At first gheir descriptions suggest that they simply tailor my stats to a specific build, resulting in a certain level of attack power.
Iy, if I manually i all my stats intth, pushing my attack power to 200, activatieor Smash would amplify that by 300%, catapulting it to an astonishing 800.
While that sounds incredible, these skills are not without their drawbacks. Sure, they pack a punch, but is it really worth forfeiting the Stat Reset skill for a whole day?
Despite being ravaged by both Bleed and Burn debuffs, the Field Boss halted its spinning, its bulging eyes narrowing oarget of its fury. With a sound that echoed like a mix of a croaking frog and an ape’s rothor unched a sticky glob of saliva at the airborne human, aiming to pin the persiste against the cavern wall.
With perfect timing, Daisuke crossed his daggers, defleg the vile substah the transparent barrier created by the Impeccable Parry skill. The hulking primate bas chest in e as the loathsome human safely nded on his feet a short distance away.
As if possessed, the creature began to squirm, its cheeks and throat infting to several times the size of its head. Daisuke’s eyes widened in arm. He sidered using the Battle Bic s to impede whatever the monster was attempting, but it was too te.
Pounding its chest like an enraged goril asserting domihe fiend unleashed a deafening shockwave from its lungs. The bst rippled through the room like a cye, sending the Goblins scrambling in a panic. Their desperate cries echoed as they were thrown into chaos, paralyzed and blinded by the brutal onsught.

“Aurggh!”
Daisuke groaned, pressing his hands against his ears as blood began to seep between his fingers. He squinted up at the looming creature, but his vision swayed and blurred, making it difficult to focus on the monstrous form before him.
DING!
[You were subjected to a debilitating attack. Αφιν?τη’s Blessing has tered the threat and preserved the iy of your motor skills.]
DING!
[You were struck by an impairing attack. Αφιν?τη’s Blessing has intervened, safeguarding the iy of your vision.]
…This sensation, Daisuke grunted. It’s almost like… G-force. I remember reading that when G-force pushes blood to the lower extremities, it lead to temporary blindness and other problems. Is that what I’m experieng?
Shoving the thought aside, Daisuke quickly popped several Vitaberries into his mouth, desperate to heal his damaged eardrums. Just as he regained focus, he caught sight of the gloating fiend, readying itself for arike. Capitalizing on Daisuke’s supposed disorientation, the beast us thick tongue, i on ensnaring and pounding him into paste.
Daisuke swiftly sprang into a, jamming a Poison Bomb into a Goblin’s mouth before kig it straight into the path of the ining tongue. Uo stop the iable, the hapless creature got pulled intaping maw. As the Field Boss gagged on its ued meal, the toxic fumes spread throughout the area, poisoning both it and the nearby Goblins in a choking haze.
SWISH~
Zephyr darted through the remaining horde of incapacitated Goblins, dispatg them to the herworld.
BOOOOOM!
Gothor let out a pained howl as a Frial Seed detonated in its gut, its massive head tilting ba excruciating agony as bck smoke seeped from its gaping jaws. The unfortunate Goblin that was trapped in its mouth fell limply to the ground, its head bed and charred.
Seizing the moment, Daisuke and Zephyr lu the floundering ape like a bat out of hell, their fangs, cws, and daggers relentlessly tearing into flesh like a hot khrough tofu.
Suddenly, the Berserk skill wore off, and Zephyr helplessly colpsed to the ground. Just as the pup was about to be caught and crushed by the beast’s steely grip, Daisuke swooped in, snatg him up and tug him safely into his shirt.
Without missing a beat, he activated Magic s and swiftly ed them around the weakened fiend. Then with a burst of energy, he leaped off the walls, propelling himself upward and kig off the ceiling above.
Uo break free, Gothor tilted its head bad snarled, unleashing aicky glob of saliva. Daisuke reacted instinctively, hurling a Frost Prism into the projectile’s path, freezing it solid mid-flight before shattering it with a Magic Missile. In the instant, he plummeted down like a bolt of lightning, driving both daggers deep into the creature’s eye sockets.
Gothor thrashed and bellowed as its bulging eyeballs exploded like overripe fruit. Just before its enormous arms could swat him away, Daisuke propelled himself off the beast’s fading at a safe distance. Drunk by the embers of battle, and the all-ing need for self-preservation, he slowly began pag forward, his daggers slick with green blood, golden eyes gleaming with alice.
Gothor sensed nervously as the harbinger of death approached, and a twisted grin spread across the fiend’s features—a mog aowledgment of its impendi. But it had absolutely no iion of perishing alone.
With a deafening crash, it smmed its fists into the ground with the remainder of its strength, sending tremors rippling through the earth. The ground shattered beh Daisuke’s feet in a sudden, unfiving colpse, sending both him and the monster plummeting in the gloom.

While Daisuke’s fate was currently shrouded in mystery, the same couldn’t be said for his reputation. Over the past several hours, tless news els, social media ptforms, blogs, and i forums across the real world buzzed with one name: Haxks.
The unpreted pace at which this person syed special-grade monsters had captivated the world, sparking endless debates. Was Haxks a pyer or an NPd more importantly, how was it possible for someoo achieve such a remarkable feat? The i was abze with specution, and everyone was desperate for answers.
The familiar chime of a popur theme song drifted from a rge television mounted on the wall, filling the cozy living room of a family home.
“Give it here!” shouted owin, tugging at the TV remote, trying to pry it from his brrip. “It’s my turn to choose cartoons! You had your turerday!”
“Nuh-uh!” the other snapped back, clutg the remote tighter. “I let you take my turerday, so I get to pick today!”
“Says who? It’s not my fault you gave up your turn, dummy!”
While the twins bickered endlessly, their older brother casually swooped in and snatched the remote. Without even b to take off his school bag, he flopped onto the coud urgently ked up the TV’s volume. The twins exged a g didn’t dare say a word.
— “Wele back to The Virtual Wire,” announced a familiar, eic voice from one of Sehrei Online’s most beloved anchors. “In the six years since Sehrei Online unched, only a few events truly rocked the unity: the initial release of the game, of course, and the rollout of the first expansion.
Now, for the third time in SO’s history, the unity is in an uproar—all thanks to one individual: Haxks! So, what exactly has this person doo shake up the game to su extent, you ask?
Well, finding Field Bosses, Hidden Dungeons, and Named Monsters is usually like searg for a needle in a haystack—they’re nearly impossible to locate. But Haxks hasn’t just found them; he’s mao take them down solo, all in an astonishingly short amount of time!”
Chug the remote aside, the teen paid no mind to his younger brothers who immediately dove after it like Olympic divers, tumbling in a tangled mess.
On his room, he tossed his bag carelessly to the side, colpsed onto his bed, and slipped a Tootsie Pop into his mouth. Fishing his pho of his pocket, he began scrolling through the test trending articles: Godlike Hacker or the Luckiest Pyer Alive?, Haxks: Dev M in Disguise?, and Enigma of the tury. His finger hovered briefly before settling on The Mysterious Noob! How Do We Find Him? With a faint smirk, he tapped the headline and scrolled straight to the ents se.
