My King System

The white glow blocking Yuki from viewing the next stage began to unveil just as it had previously.

The new terrain was a dark forest. The wind was cold which made Yuki realize how much he was sweating in the extremely hot temperature in the 4th stage.

"It's almost magical the way the weather changes so drastically within each stage."

The 5th stage reminded him of the 2nd stage in which the wolves resided. However, in this forest, the trees were much bigger, some even looked to be 100 feet tall.

"I wonder what monster I'll have to face now."

In the distance he spotted around 30 figures. All of them were limping even though they were 15 feet or taller. Muscular giants which looked like they would dominate the wrestling field.

"So it's giant zombies now? This place never ceases to amaze me."

"Fallen angel of hell" in hand, Yuki began rusting towards them.

"Come to think of it, this place is really huge. I should take advantage of the terrain."

Yuki instantly dove into the side of the forest, in turn making him invisible to the zombies.

"A zombie's weakness is the brain. All I need is one solid strike to their heads and they'll fall to the ground."

As he closed the distance, Yuki silently leaped onto the branch of the tree and used it as support to gain the height advantage.

[Zombie Soldier: Kieran]

Yuki jumped high in the air and without being noticed, he stuck his sword right in the skull of the zombie.

It instantly fell to the ground and disintegrated.

"1 down, 29 to go."

Yuki once again leaped to the other side of the forest before the zombies could close in on him. He kept using the branches to boost his momentum and strike down each zombie at a time. Once he finally took down each one of the zombies, Yuki noticed that he was extremely fatigued.

"That took a lot more stamina than it should've. It was better than facing all of them at once though. They're extremely slow, dumb, and easy to kill. That only leaves strength. One hit from them would probably do an insane amount of damage. I have to avoid getting hit at all costs."

"The most frightening part of this is that I'm barely getting any exp from them. That probably means that there is an entire army of them waiting for me."

Yuki kept moving forward without a single thought within his mind. His face was blank. His body was in auto pilot, all it hungered for was exp.

After walking for some time, he noticed the smell of rotten flesh.

"I guess that I made it."

There was still an abundance of trees which limited Yuki's movement however the entire area was littered with giant zombies.

"Sneaking around like last time won't work. I need a new strategy."

Yuki quickly jumped on a branch of a tree and kept leaping from one brand to the other until he had reached his desired height of 60 feet. From there, Yuki held his sword, tip facing the ground and pinned it on the head of a zombie.

"This is gonna be a living hell."

Before the giant zombie fell to the ground and disintegrated, Yuki jumped from its shoulder and landed on his next target.

[Zombie Soldier: Travers]

Yuki sliced off its head before moving towards his next target. He did this countless times but no matter how hard he tried, It seemed as if there was an endless amount of them. Yuki let his guard down for a bit to catch his breath which was the worst thing he could've done. From the side, a giant palm slapped him with the force of 20 trucks. He was instantly sent flying and crashed into a giant tree.

[Zombie Soldier: Ewart]

As the giant zombie reached down at the lifeless body of Yuki Kaito as he prepared to eat him, he felt his point of view change. For some reason, everything was upside-down and felt like he was falling. His head had been cut off so fast that he hadn't realized it. To him, he was right about to enjoy a tasty meal.

[Emergency skill: Wrath]

[When more than 10% of the player's HP is lost due to a single attack, player speed is boosted 10 times]

Yuki landed on his own two feet. He didn't quite understand what was happening as his head still hurt a lot from being smacked to a tree. All he knew was that he felt a lot lighter and faster. As he took one step, he instantly landed at the shoulder of a giant zombie. For an unknown reason, it irritated him. From its enormous figure to its weird torn clothes and uncoordinated motion. All Yuki wanted to do was slay all of them.

"I don't know what I'm feeling right now but I'll just accept it. I don't feel any fear or fatigue. I feel so light, it's as if I'm being swallowed by the softest pillow in the universe."

Yuki brought his sword to his side and made himself stop from thinking. His body went into automation. Once again he took a step forward however when he looked back, there was a trail of 10 dead zombies.

"Did I really do that?"

Without hesitation, Yuki kept moving forward. Each step he took left a trail of dead zombies which disintegrated into nothingness after a few seconds.

"Am I really this strong? There's no way I would be able to do this. If I was really this strong, I would've cleared the dungeon on my very first day here."

"It doesn't matter now, even if I come to a conclusion, it doesn't change the fact that I'm unbelievably strong right now. The best thing I can do is to take advantage of the opportunity I've been given."

With a calm and gentle expression Yuki took down each and every single one of the 170 giant zombies standing in his way.
