Chereads / The Day The World Got A Leveling System / Chapter 61 - Spoke Too Soon

Chapter 61 - Spoke Too Soon

Only two days passed since I talked to Harley. When the sun finally came out, I climbed out of bed and did my morning routine, exercising, eating breakfast, taking a shower before brushing my teeth.

It was all done and now, I took a seat on the floor, powering on the T.V

There were no plans for today, so watching the news and other shows was my only entertainment. A part of me got anxiety from the thought about being inside all day. But I found it in me to relax. After all, it was fortunate that nothing major happened, considering all the recent events.

I spoke too soon, the T.V show was interrupted by an emergency broadcast.

'Really? What is it now? There's always something going on.'

Turns out, the terrorist attacks from last time weren't the last. It was disappointing of me to think otherwise. The broadcast spoke news on a grave situation: There were a total of 34 on going attacks around the city, from powerful terrorists along with monsters. They were all relatively small attacks, but not any less dangerous. Every adventurer was being called on, even Legendary-rankers.

I received a phone-call.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

[Caller: Harley]

I reached to answer.

Before my finger was able to press 'Answer' my ears were met with devastating white-noise as an incredible beam blasted through my apartment.

Boom!

I was so caught off guard that even I was dazed. My mind was confused and my senses felt all mixed up. I found myself laying among rubble, the entire apartment complex and neighboring houses had been demolished.

It goes without saying, anyone in this area had met the same fate as their homes, except for me, I was alive and my only injury was a cut on my arm.

I stood up among the now destroyed area.

'Every life that was in the area. They were all lost because some psychopath put together a pointless organization.'

I didn't know anyone from this area personally, but my hand was itching with anger. It even made my monster instincts quake.

It was at this moment I decided to face anyone of that organization the same way I would face a monster.

I didn't have to wait long before someone showed up.

A slightly muscular man calmly walked, any ruble underneath him was crushed. His skin looked soft, but my eyes could tell that it was harder than steel. With wolf-like fangs and sinister blood-shot eyes, he had a confident smirk.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? My power ended many lives with ease. Such is the will of my soul."

Nothing about his words were likable.

My teeth intensely grinded and I could feel my hand trembling with the urge for violence.

'This man sees the lives he took as simple entertainment. I...I'm going to kill him.'

The floor underneath me was splintered as I took a dashed forward. I bashed my fist into the center of his face with intent to kill.

Smash!

His feet were able to keep him standing while the floor gently shook.

The man's head only slightly tilted from the impact of.

A greater grin flashed onto his face and his eyes shined with pure excitement, he didn't take even the littlest damage.

"You pack a good punch. That's the hardest hit I took in awhile. My turn!"

I knew it was coming, but it was too fast to move away from. His heavy fist swung at me from above.
