With flashing lights, an Old silhouette slowly materialized in the middle of an altar by the outskirts of the dungeon.
"Has, finally."
The figure of the old bastard Clark slowly walked out of the spawn point and started stretching his body.
" What a Fucked up body and, this status... if this could be even considered one !?"
Loud curses could have been heard at the entrance of that vast virtual dungeon.
Even though he was swearing, Clark was truly shocked after receiving the same status as Isaac because even the weakest-level human in this world would have a better status than this.
And the same time he was amazed at how Isaac was able to use this kind of body to perform so well in the previous round against his clone which should have had a higher status compared to him.

In the world of Orenda, Status below the level of warriors (that's 1 - 10) only displays your rank and doesn't assign you with any values only after you successfully break through into the warrior rank will it provide you with value based on your ranks before the breakthrough.
To explain it in simpler terms, the higher your ranking before the breakthrough the higher will be your base status value. And not only will your base status be high but your additional status points which will be awarded for a breakthrough will also be higher in value.
Not only that if you reached those levels above 'High' not only will you get higher bonus status but also be awarded with a Title according to the rank you have reached. Which basically will also provide you with more status or sometimes may even help you awaken hidden status.
[ Author: Leaving the info~dump on status aside, you should also remember that the current status which Clark has is the same as that of Isaac's. And Isaac can't see status since he is not a chosen, even though this current level of status was only achieved by Isaac after his months of diligent training, hard work, and development.
So comparatively Isaac is now considered a weak person whereas when they arrived in this world due to his body's conditions and his other circumstances, he basically could have actually been dubbed as a half-dead or a dying individual.]
Even with all the cursing and complaints, The figure of the Old bastard Clark could be seen slowly walking toward the entrance of the dungeon with a calm yet callous expression.
Because he knew that someone who was able to kill a clone that was way above his league, which was also based on an experienced hunter/adventure is not someone who could be dealt with effortlessly.
Even though Clark still not considers Isaac of anything other than an insect, he has evaluated him from a worm to the level of a mosquito. Well killing a mosquito does require more effort than a worm. And since his status was so low Clarsk had to be even more cautious about traps.
He slowly walked his way through the corridors of the ancient-looking cave temple towards, expecting numerous traps on combos waiting for him.
But to Clark's surprise, there were actually zero to no traps on the paths, leave traps there weren't even any changes or mazes in the pathway it was just a straight path that lead him toward the center.
*chuckles*
"Looks like this midget does have a functional brain"
'Seems like she wasn't wrong about this midget after all, damn that woman and her insight she really scares the shit out of me sometimes.' Even just thinking about her sends shivers through his spine
Though Clark had these fearful thoughts about the woman in his head, he didn't let his face show any of this after all that what being a veteran means not letting others know your true intention.
*inhales deeply* & *slowly exhale*
"Time to get serious."
≤•••••••••••• ‹ Issac POV› ••••••••••••≥
After setting up all the traps, I walked to the center of the altar and sat cross-legged on the altar in the place meant for the Treasure.
'Win this game is a must but, hehe, I'm honestly more excited to see the look on the old fart's face when he steps into the room.
Look at all these cute little surprises I have made for him, I bet he would be overjoyed to have such a warm welcome.'
[Author: Man, I bet all those who are watching this would have nightmares looking at your Simle, your face looks creepy as fuck when u smile 🤮]
[Issac: No one asked for your opinion, fuck off you wanna-be Author bastard.]
While we were quarreling like two idiots, suddenly a silent but stable set of footsteps was heard from the path that leads from the spawn point to the altar.
A tall figure slowly walked into the hall from the long passageway, the tall figure had a lethargic expression on his face, which irritated us.
[Issac: What do you mean by us? And why are you poking your dirty nose in my POV fuck off you weasel.
Anyway back to the topic at hand...]
With the smugness pasted on his shitty face, he glanced over the traps as if he wasn't bothered by them.
"Seems like my Cute little surprises weren't able to make you happy ??."
I voiced out my thoughts from the altar.
"If you were able to impress me with these childish tricks, then I won't even be able to call myself an adventurer," said Clark not stepping inside the hall where the altar was located.
" Yeah, then why are you still standing at the entrance, Oh great adventurer??? Don't tell me you're scared shitless just by the presence of my Cute little surprises !??"
" You think too highly of yourself boy," stated Clark with one of his eyebrows raised showing that he wasn't pleased with the remark.
With a smirk on his, he started to nimbly jump around the traps and was making his way towards the center.
Even after seeing him cross the traps like it was nothing I didn't panic because I have already expected him to do this much and the real purpose of those traps was not to hinder his advance but something else.
And, looking at the old man jumping around like a chimp on meth made the grin on my face even wider.
"Watch your steps, Old man all those jumping around may tire you out and you may step on something and hurt yourself somewhere you shouldn't have".
I was expecting some reaction but, he didn't respond to my taunt and just *Hmph* at me while continuing his acrobatics around the traps toward the altar.
'HeHe, what a grumpy old fella, but what can you do? the moment you decided to enter the field no matter what you do the victory is mine.'
[Author: Dude are you sure your the MC of this is story?? Cause the more you talk the more you make me feel that you are just some second-grade side villain.]
[Issac: .... ]
