My King System

"Was that all of them?"

Yuki could no longer see a single zombie standing in his way.

"Wait, the last stage had a mini boss, since this is a higher stage, shouldn't it also have.."

Just them a loud bang sound echoed all throughout the forest.

"... a mini boss of its own."

[Zombie Soldier Mini Boss: Nuno]

A 40 feet large zombie had fallen from the sky. It made all the previous zombies look like ants compared to itself.

"Just my luck. Wait, due to its increased size, it'll be a lot slower than the zombies I've faced. On the other hand, it'll also be much stronger. My only choice is to attack without getting hit a single time. It could probably kill with one hit. The faster I end this, the better."

As Yuki began to get ready to attack, Nuno put his hand on the ground as his palm faced the trees and began moving a large group of them towards Yuki. To Nuno, it was just a group of skinny sticks.

"This one seems to be different. He knows that he's too slow so he's taking advantage of his strength. He could be more of a threat than I thought.

Yuki easily dodged the wall of giant trees by moving out of their way. Next, he ran as fast as he could to Nuno and sunk his blade into his rotting flesh.

"My sword isn't long enough to completely cut through his hand. I guess I'll do whatever I can to slow him down at least."

While the sword was stuck in Nuno's skin, Yuki held the hilt of his sword and ran horizontally as he tried to cut off Nuno's arm. Since he expected to fail, when he started losing his grip because of gravity, Yuki pulled out his sword from Nuno's arm and held it forward above his head. As he continued to fall, he waited until he reached Nuno's thigh and stabbed it. Yuki managed to slow down his fall as he cut through Nuno's thigh vertically.

"Two birds with one stone!"

Enraged by what had just occurred, Nuno grabbed as many trees as he could and threw them all in the air.

"Is he nuts? Maybe I made him too mad. No matter, I can easily dodge them."

Before Yuki could take another step, Nuno held his hands together and started banging on the ground as hard as he possibly could which made the ground shake.

"So this was your plan? I took you too lightly."

As Nuno continued his rampage, his right arm fell off due to the cuts Yuki had made before. Unable to move as he wished, Yuki was bombarded with an endless amount of giant trees until he was barricaded within them. Many of them had made direct contact with him which caused a lot of damage. Even with all that happened, Yuki didn't feel any pain. All he thought was regret. He was too cocky due to his increased intelligence. He thought that just because he was smarter and faster, he could win the fight with ease.

"Why does it always end like this?"

[Emergency Notice: Retreat]

[The player had taken serious damage and seems to be unable to continue. Would you like to retreat? Under the condition you retreat, you will lose all exp earned on stage 5.]

[Yes or No]

"Is this really it? Was this the best I could do?"

"I mean it's always been like this. There was never anything special about me. I was always a second rate human. Everyone has been better than me. What gave me the right to think that I of all people would reach level 100 first? All I am is a worthless creature."

"Stop! Even if I wasn't special before, right now, I'm single handedly the strongest human in this world. Even if I were to lose my life in this world, I would return to being the strongest creature that has ever existed and will ever exist. While my luck wasn't the best in my previous life, I won't let the same thing happen to me again! I will become the first person to reach level 100 and rule the world!"

Yuki selected no.

[Emergency Skill: Life Support]

[Under the condition that the player is in a dungeon and has 5% of their maximum HP remaining, all physical capabilities are boosted 20 times]

Yuki easily pushed away the trees that were holding him down with one hand.

Nuno was walking away when he noticed Yuki's presence. He turned to look at Yuki and grinned.

"Even if you are able to think of a good strategy, you can't recognize when someone is superior to you."

Yuki stepped forward and was instantly standing at the shoulder of Nuno.

"Now, fall before your king!"

Yuki stopped on Nuno's shoulder with his right leg which made Nuno's legs sink into the ground. Yuki stepped off Nuno and landed on the ground with ease.

Without any more control over his body, Nuno fell on his back.

"How does it feel to be weak? To be completely overpowered by someone. To have your destiny controlled by someone other than yourself. Now, be enveloped in despair!"

For the first time, Nuno felt fear. He was no longer the king of his domain. An intruder had killed his subordinates and now was tormenting him.

Enraged at his situation, Nuno brought his legs out of the ground and stood up to exact his revenge on Yuki. He began to scream to make his presence known throughout his forest.

"How pitiful. It doesn't matter how strong you may be. I stand above you. Zombie Soldier Mini Boss: Nuno, you are nothing but an insect to me."

Before Nuno could land a hit, Yuki jumped high in the air. He held "Fallen angel of hell" in his hand and threw it down at Nuno like a spear. The impact of the attack completely obliterated Nuno's head. At last Nuno fell to the ground and disintegrated.

[Zombie Soldier Mini Boss Nuno: defeated]
