Chapter 32 - Leveling

"( Yes my friend Rangga ... that's what I'm talking about !!!!! )" said Hashr in his mind as the scene returns to Rangga who was slashing the giant Balrog.

As Rangga pushes the sword, the Balrog's flaming blood bursts out signaling his downfall as his HP turns to zero.

< Balrog HP: 0 >

"( Is it over, did we won? )" said Rangga as he slashed the Balrog's body into two with Hashra's sword and his skill.

As the Balrog has been slashed at the end of his life, System suddenly popped.

< Congratulations you Leveled Up !!!!!!!!!!!! >

Seeing the notification Rangga was shocked as he thought the EXP Function is still on repairing until he saw the System's notifications that sates.

"( Wait a minute, System did you say I Leveled Up? )" ask Rangga in his mind.

< EXP Function has been restored >

< Congratulations you Leveled Up >

< Congratulations you Leveled Up >

< Congratulations you Leveled Up >

< Congratulations you Leveled Up >

< Congratulations you Leveled Up >

< Congratulations you .... >

< .......... >

< .... Leveled Up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >

< Resetting HP, and MP's to the current level specifications. >

< " Congratulations you are now level ... " > said the System as the text spins to find the exact number of Rangga's current level.

Seeing the System, Rangga could only stare at it, as he can't believe what just happened in front of him. As the number continues to spin, Rangga's mind also continues to think.

"( OMG ... This is ... a miracle .... )" he said as his level rapidly increase.

"( I wonder ... what my new level is going to be ..... ?)" said Rangga as he still stares at the System's interface as his saliva drolling like a waterfall as he was hypnotized by the spinning numbers.

Behind him Hashra was confused as he slowly walks to where Rangga was standing. Slowly and silently, Hashra snaps Rangga with his hand which makes him shouts hysterically.

" EEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " shouted Rangga as he summons his random martial art techniques. (*imitating the Wing-Chun styles he probably saw on the movies perhaps.)

" .... oooh it's you Hashra !!! " Rangga said as the System finally sets the exact number of Rangga's current level.

< Congratulations, you are now level 59 >

< 15 Skills has been unlocked >

< Increase All Status +46 >

< Congratulations you've got an Achievement !! >

< Achievement: Speed Leveling >

< Reward: Item Box X2 >

< Achievement: Increase Leveling >

< Reward: Item Box X3 >

< Achievement: Rapid Leveling >

< Reward: Item Box X7 >

< Collect all Rewards >

< YES >

As the system finished explaining all of that, Rangga returns back and touches the interface as he claims all the rewards while Hashra is still being confused seeing his friend's behavior.

"( Why he's touching the thin air like that since earlier, is he preparing some magic or something? )" asked Hashra to himself.

After Rangga finished take all of the rewards, Rangga grips his hand as he looked for a nearby wall and punched it that results.

"( WWWHHHHAAAATTT TTTHHHHEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )" said Hashra panicked as he saw the unbelievable thing happened before him.

On the other hand, Rangga was euphorically laughing as his power rapidly increasing.

"( Oh yeah, this is what I'm talking about !!!!!!! )" said Rangga as he continues to repeat his punch while ignoring the confused Hashra.

"( With this strength and power I could easily burst out of this pit and return to my academy and become a Hero like every kid wanted muahahahahahahhaha !!!! )"

After Rangga finished his show off, he was shocked to see Hashra with a confused face.

Feelin sorry Rangga said," Oh Hashra I'm sorry I didn't see you there, ... (laughs shortly) ... ummm ..... did you see ... the all thing? "

" Well .... umm I only see you punching the walls and ..... well ummm ... " said Hashra stutter as he still analyzes the situation.

To calm Hashra down, Rangga just blabbering explains that he was just daydreaming as he remembers the things he left at home and explains more about how his power (the one not the ) works which Hashra believes instantly without a second thought.

" So Rangga the reason why you can punch the wall earlier is because of the effect of the Balrog's torture earlier yes? " asked Hashra to confirm his curiosity.

" Yes ..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " answered Rangga.

" That's what actually happened .... " said Rangga as he laughs to cover his lie.

"( Well is one of the factors but ..... the true and the main reason for my sudden increase power is, of course, the power of the mysterious< Leveling System > that suddenly emerges from nowhere.)"

"( Maybe I should talk to him about this power but ..... seeing his incapable of seeing the System's interface I guess that it's very useless to explain to him since his brain would just probably explode.)" Rangga said in his mind as he understands Hashra's behavior that behaves like the cavemen that he used to see in the movies or TV Shows.

"( And ..... talking the way of the game or how the game works to a guy from a backward culture is a thing that should be tried in the first place. )"

" So ..... basically Rangga, after I analyzed the words that you said earlier then that means you get stronger every time you experience pain, isn't it? " asked Hashra.

"( Of course I do bro, didn't I tell you many times before !!!!!! ? )"

"( 's ability is 'The more I get hurt the more powerful I become' !!!!!!!!!! )" said Rangga in anger in his own mind as he opens his mouth and said.

" Yes Hashra, basically if I get hurt I will become more powerful than before ahahahahaha ..... " said Rangga as he kinda need Hashra right now so suddenly felt bad revealing his anger to him.

While the two talked for a minute, suddenly a light beam emits from above as it illuminates the Torture Floor with its shining radiance, and from the beam administrator, Garagoon emerges as he greets the two candidates.

" Wow wow, what did we have here !!!!!! "

" The two young candidates who just successfully defeated one of the Four Sleeper Guardian of the Pit !!!! " admin. Garagoon said as he claps his hands.

In a sudden, Rangga and Hashra felt pain as the black goo from their body bubbled and revealing some numbers.

" What the hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?? " Rangga asked as he felt disgusted seeing the black goo.

" Oh don't worry Rangga, it's just the "*value meter" revealing our points ... " answered Hashra as the goo device shows his value.

[ Value Point: +3.000 ]

[ Total VP: 29.000 ]

"( Value points, what the hell ..... I never had that kind of thing before then how ... ?" asked Rangga in his mind as his point appears.

[ Total VP: 9.000 ]

" Huuuhhhh .... ???? " said Rangga as he clearly don't know what's going on.

Seeing Rangga's confusion, Garagoon explains that all candidates from the First to the Seventh floor are marked with a value to show their worth to ascend to each floor.

" So basically these points are the requirements for the Candidates to complete their current floor and ascend to the next floor," said Garagoon.

" And also this Value Point can be used by candidates to by some items and types of equipment in the 'Floor Shop' in each floor. "

After Rangga hear this fact, he asked the administrator that he didn't know about these kinds of rules which the administrator replied.

" Of course you don't, these points aren't applicable for those who were exiled to the Torture Floor !!!!! "

" Wait what ..... not applicable .... what does that mean .... ? "
