Gained: 4 EXP
Gained: 5 EXP
As Karas breathed out a huge one, he couldn’t help but notice that the cockroaches are impaled by his two swords.
-1HP!
-2HP!
The two cockroaches suffering continuous damage over time.
“System, I’ve been hitting them earlier, but couldn’t deal massive damage, how come I’ve managed to kill two and almost killed another two more.”
[Host, the damage is merely an statistics, the ones you’ve dealt before are mere weapon damage with additional strength from your body.Note that;
Speed, weight, balance, techniques, and many more variables can be applied in adding damage to your strikes.
Note, you’ve struck four out of five cockroaches at their weaknesses.]
Mo Xie nodded his head: “Thanks.”
Now, he has another trouble, the cockroaches are burning, but his blades are currently out of reach, although the two cockroaches are burning until they die, there is still one more that has a quarter of his health left.
As the two rabid cockroaches died, two notifications can be seen.
Quest: +1 Rabid Cockroach kill
Quest: +1 Rabid Cockroach…
(4/100 Rabid Cockroaches)
“I only killed four and I’m already exhausted…” Karas couldn’t help but sigh.
The remaining cockroach still has 29 health remaining.
Karas breathes out, he lifts his two arms up into a guard: “Come you trash, I’ll pound some senses to you!”
Phssst! It made a sound, although it’s still staggering from Karas’ weight earlier, it started to attack again.
Karas held both of his arms up protecting the sides of his face as he approached.
Pppak! Pak! Ppak!
The antennas acted as its weapon, continuously whipping at Karas, but the latter didn’t mind, ignoring it completely as he didn’t blink directly staring at the cockroach.
“Weakness!”
The cockroach’s color changed, no, it’s actually its weaknesses.
[Weakness;Yellow = Soft spots
Red = Extreme Weakness
Orange = Normal weakness
Green = No weakness
Blue = Normal solid spot
Black = Extreme defense]
Karas nodded his head, the legs are completely black, the shell covering the head is black in color so is its fangs. But for the red part, it’s its belly, its head under the shell. As for yellow, there is one, the spot covered by its hard wings.
He didn’t notice it at first, but the cockroach’s antenna is actually oranged.
He opened his palm and about to catch the antennas, but before he could, the cockroach noticed his actions and started to flee limpingly.
Karas couldn’t help but open his eyes in shock, but then, he looked at his back…
“Nothing there, I thought the cockroach ran away because something is there behind me…” After looking at it for a long while, nothing approached, Karas heaved a sigh.
He then took his swords back, looking left and right before asking: “Can I get anything from these cockroaches’ corpses?”
[Low-class materials can’t be sold, but it can be used as a weapon or many other things if the host wishes to create something from it.Rabid Cockroach materials;
Shells
Wings
Fluids
Hard legs
Antennas
Fangs
…]
Karas nodded his head: “Can you help me dissect them?
[No]Karas chuckles then asked: “Can I store all of them at my inventory?”
[Yes]Karas then opened his inventory: “How do I put them in?”
[Inventory storing tutorial;Store items, materials, etc = aiming your palm at it or holding the desired item that you wish to put inside the inventory then say the word ‘Insert’.]
Karas nodded, he opened his palm and aimed it at the cockroach’s corpse: “Insert.”
Immediately, it was wrapped by a glowing blue light before it vanished.
“Cool!” He then also aimed at the other three: “Insert, insert, insert.”
All three corpses were placed in his inventory, checking it, he thought that it will all be in different slots but it actually got stacked.
Rabid Cockroach Corpses Intact x4
Karas smiled, he then looked at the light yellow color liquid traces of the other cockroach that flee.
He smiled: “Now, bring me to where the others are.” As he finished speaking, he followed the trail.
After just three minutes. Karas heard some hissing sounds, he stopped in his track, he slowly started approaching the where the sound can be heard.
It’s like there is a fight or something, he then glanced at the window, he then saw that the cockroach’s trail that he was following ended here.
Other cockroaches are fighting a group of spiders, it’s a five versus two, five cockroaches and two rock spiders.
[Rock SpiderLv. 2
HP: 98/98] [Rock Spider
Lv. 3
HP: 101/101] [Rabid Cockroach
Lvl 3
HP: 88/88]
Karas couldn’t help but muse; ‘They too level up?’
The other four cockroaches are level 1, but the only one seemed to be the leader of the group, a level 3.
In his experience, in normal life, a spider can kill hundreds of cockroaches, they eat them for dinner!
But these insects are evolved, gaining the ability to enter the upper levels of the food cycle and dragging the human race in it from the top.
Looking at the area, it seemed that the injured cockroach was killed and was brought inside this room, the other cockroach must’ve tried to rescue it?
But Karas’s assumption was destroyed immediately as the level 3 cockroach dug its fangs at the dead cockroach, there are two mini legs from its mouth digging the juices out from its stomach.
Seeing the cockroaches digging their prey, the Rock Spiders immediately jumped up and down, its butt faced at the cockroaches and immediately started spewing out webs.
Karas couldn’t help but sigh; ‘I thought they at least have a kinship, I guess everyone for themselves for survival.’
Karas then had an idea; ‘If they themselves are killing each other…’ There will definitely be materials! FREE MATERIALS!
As he thought of this, he scanned the room, there really are many materials such as Cockroach’s wings, headshell, legs, etc. There are even a huge rat’s bones, all of them hanging from the ceiling which is wrapped by thin lines of webs.
Karas seeing them fight sat out, he didn’t need to intervene, he’ll wait for them to kill each other before he goes in.
‘Stats’, he need only to think about it and immediately, the window appeared.

‘Store, potion’ He then went to check for the potion section.
He started browsing the lowest class potions.
[Low-grade Recovery PotionLv. 0
Recovers 50 HP.
Description: Recovers a certain amount of HP (50), can only be used by living beings, using on a dead person will have no effect.
Price: 10,000 Points.]
Karas couldn’t help but be astounded with wide-open eyes. But then, he merely thought of the price based in a game, if this potion can really recover 50 HP, his eyes widened; ‘Business! If I can treat others that even the highest technology can’t…’
He smiled, he then continued searching.
[Low-grade Healing PotionRequirement: Lv. 10
Recovers 10% HP
Description: Recovers…
Price: 1,000,000 Points]
Karas couldn’t help but be astounded, but surely, if he levels enough, then, he will have to change to percentage-based healing potions due to his health being enormous, but that’s for the later date.
He then checked other potions and couldn’t help but be speechless at the effects it provides.
He purchased ten pieces of recovery potions, just in case he’d need it.
After fifteen minutes, the noise inside the room stopped.
He slowly stood up without any noise as he took a peak, he couldn’t help but be astounded at the result.
The cockroach actually won and even leveled up! It’s munching on its food like it’s its trophy, eating the spider’s belly first, the juiciest part of it.
[Rabid CockroachLv. 4
HP: 32/99]
Karas smirked, slowly, he approached the door and sneaked behind the cockroach, but as he reached the two-meter mark, it felt his presence and looked started to look around.
One of its antennas severed from its head, making it unable to perceive enemies clearly, Karas’s heart beat faster as he jumped.
His two swords aimed at its soft spot.
But the distance was too far, hence, he threw one of the swords at it.
The cockroach noticed and about to evade but it was too late.
Tsuk! -19 HP! -1HP! It was immediately pierced and a burning effect even took place.
Szziiii!!! It made a noise and started squirming.
Karas immediately made his way at it and struck its head.
“Don’t make a noise!” Swish~!
-72 HP!!!
Gained: 8 EXP
Karas breathes out, he opened his palm: “Insert!”
He took everything and sigh: “Soft spot does not mean weakness, it’s just soft.”
As he took everything, he devised a plan, injure as many beasts as he can and hide! Then, he can just start searching for them one by one and kill them.
Karas smirked: “I’ll level up and finish a few bonus quest… no rush though, I think I still have eleven hours.”
With his plan, although it’s time-consuming, he didn’t mind neglecting these bonus objectives, so long as he can level up as efficiently as he can.
Five hours had passed, Karas’s breath started to go rigid, his SP or Stamina Points had run out, he purchased a few bottles again and drank it: “Bitter!”
After shaking his head from the taste, he gazed at the ceiling and smiled: “About ninety cockroaches wounded, I’ll search for them later…”
He’s resting inside the elevator, after a few whiles, he got out, he looked at the floor above the elevator: “This is the 1st floor…”
“I went down from the 48th floor by foot, I might have decreased a few pounds just from that.”
As he stored his HP and SP back to full, he started searching for the blood of the cockroach, a few minutes, he managed to spot one, he looked at where the direction is: “The stairs… I think I’ll really become quite fit after this mission.”
He followed the trail, it leads down: “Basement?”
The light is almost gone at this point, there are a few though, so everything can still be seen.
Karas started to follow the trail, but it’s awfully quiet when he took his 13th step, he heard the sound of someone munching loudly.
He frowns; ‘This is the freezer…’
A massive iron door can be seen, oozing cold fog out, he couldn’t help but frown as he thought; ‘What were those that I needed to kill again? Rabid Cockroach, Rock Spider, Poison Rats…’
He started thinking deeply, he had only met these three, and it seemed he had forgotten a really important thing…
Then, as his thought reached here, a silhouette started to appear out of the freezer’s door.
Karas couldn’t help but smile at himself: “Right, it’s you.”
[(B)Frozen HoundLv. 12
HP: 201/201]
Karas smiled, he slowly stepped back the same time the hound started to approach, they are taking each step each.
The hound is sizing Karas up, then, Karas is sizing when he can flee.
“This is your domain, right? You’re a good dog, you shouldn’t be moving out of your house without your owner’s permission.”
He knew it’s pointless, but he still tried.
The hound’s pace increases slowly, Karas did the same.
Karas smiled, since the hound is sizing him up, he could at least show off.
He placed his two swords down and started dragging it at the steel wall.
Khhhhhhzzzzzzzzzzz~~~~~
Sparks flew as the blade scratched the wall.
The hound stopped not knowing what it is.
Seeing this, Karas smiled, as he reached the stairs: “Well…”
“RUN!”
He started running for his life immediately.
Luckily, he had been familiarizing himself with the building, it’s a corporation building with many rooms and computers.
As Karas made his way out, he didn’t stop nor tried to hide, he rushed out as fast as he could, why would he hide from a dog? He would definitely be smelled by it!
“AWOOOOOOO!”
The hound howls as it made its way out of stairs.
It started sniffing on the ground, chasing at Karas.
Karas couldn’t help but run as fast as he could: “Damn it! if I ever get stronger, I’ll definitely come back here just to especially kill you!”
