Re: Player

Time: When Adam was fighting against the Inspector as Morpheus.

.

.

-Whoosh!

-Whoosh!

Morpheus jumped behind the inspector, before taking out another sword of Light this time. He even let go of his form, and turned back to Adam so that he didn't need to hold back on anything.

For this particular run, he wanted to figure out how he could kill that inspector. Everything comes after that.

-Slash!

The first slash to break the inspector's defense.

-Slash!

And another to split apart the head from his body.

"What?!" The inspector shouted as he saw the sudden increase in power in Adam, while also getting bewildered looking at Adam's original form.

Though it was too late. Adam's sword struck his core, which the inspector had been protecting for all this time, by some stroke of luck.

It wasn't really a skill, as Adam was just lucky enough to split apart that core.

"No! It cannot be!!!" With a shocked expression on his face, the inspector crumbled in front of Adam, who saw the whole thing happening in front of him.

In the quest, there was no mention of not killing the inspector, so it was actually good news for Adam. Though…

"YOU DARE?!!!"

A being. A Hell Guardian. Black Shadow appeared from the space in front of him, trying to collect the flowing ashes of the inspector.

The entire town crumbled in an instant as Black Shadow's murderous intent engulfed the entire area. The only one alive was Adam, who had the protection of the Primordials Law.

"No! No! No! No! No! It can't be!

It can't be! This is all a lie!" Black Shadow was truly terrified, making even Adam confused about what was going on.

And the answers to it came rather fast, as a woman appeared from the shadows right in front of Black Shadow. Her eyes, black, as if containing the entire universe within them, her hair reaching down to her waist.

Just like the previous time, Adam, this time too, was captivated by her mesmerizing form before he slowly gained his senses back.

"Seems like I put too much faith in you. You cannot even prepare a toy for me. How laughable… but seems like this was it… Now you will be its replacement," the Enchantress spoke as she looked at Black Shadow.

"You… from the start you wanted it to be me, huh? That's why you didn't let me interfere with this fight. You knew that this fate weaver was going to kill him." Black Shadow glared at the Enchantress who just smiled as she agreed.

"That is correct. I was actually worried that you might actually give me the perfect replacement… though that's all in the past now. Now… be the toy for my Lirawern."

She clicked her fingers and the Hell Guardian vanished from there. And then her eyes turned to Adam, who was standing there watching the entire thing with a dumbfounded expression.

"You have lost quite a bit of your power. Here. Take this and enjoy… at least you were useful for something," the Enchantress clicked her fingers before vanishing from there as well.

The description was simple… but the skill was equally powerful.

'I must save it,' Adam thought as he knew that this was the only chance he had to get this skill. But in order to save it, he must get to a safe town.

"Let's see if there is any nearby city in this hell," and thus he began walking down the wasteland, hoping to find a place where he could save his skills.

It was lucky that he didn't need to sleep to save the skills, so all he needed was a safe town for now.

Walking and walking for days and weeks, Adam finally found himself in front of a demon town. With his [Greater Ring of Illusion], he could change his form to a demon one. And entering the city.

[Saving the Current Skill Set!]

[Saving Complete!]

His smile grew as he began for another [Restart]. But then, stopping, he looked at the castle on the mountain in front of him.

A mysterious smile appeared on his face as he mumbled," let's at least first greet the owner of that place. Wouldn't be fair to come and not even say hello."

The town was rather run down, with demons crawling all over the place, trying to loot each other. The average level of these demons were in the 200s and 300s, so it would be better to avoid them all together.

Navigating safely from that place, Adam slowly traveled towards the gates of the castle. And while he was wondering how he could enter this place…

A Demon General appeared in front of him as he spoke." The Vampire Queen is waiting for you. Please follow me. If you try to do anything funny, I have been ordered to kill you with no hesitation."

Adam wanted to run away, but even he knew it was impossible. Especially after his stats being halved permanently.

"Sure," he shrugged his shoulders as he nodded and began walking behind the General. In his mind, he was really surprised to hear about the Vampire Queen. She was treated as a legend in the [Call of the Black Magicians!]

Walking into the castle, Adam looked around the intricately carved sculptures and walls. It was truly out of a horror movie where draculas and stuff exist.

"That looks… interesting?" Adam spoke, looking at the carved heads of various beasts on the walls.

"Those are the heads of the people who tried going against the Queen," the General spoke, making Adam smile wryly before they entered a big hall.

"Fancy meeting the Phantom in this realm. To what do I owe you, the honor of having you in my kingdom?" The Vampire Queen spoke with a chilling smile as she looked at Adam.

Adam looked at the snow white face of the woman standing in front of him with a mesmerized look before he spoke.

"To the beauty in front of me, I have come with news. News that will change the entire existence of hell."
