=LOCATION: Dungeon=
.
{FLASHBACK TO MINUTES BEFORE}
.
An underground complex labyrinth located under Babel of Orario. On 20th floor of the dungeon, there's a bad event happening as Alex was not alone.
An event happens on far away location of the 20th floor. Within the forest, there are two groups.
The recent pungent smell mixed with blood, tears and piss present in this place that are from the tied-up kneeling group that we're cornered and defeated by 50 people.
*cough*
*drip*
*drip*
*drop*
*pant* *pant* *pant*
*whack* *whack*
*cough* *barfff* *cough* *arghh*
*cough* *cough* *bleargh*
*huff* *huff* *agh* *crunch* *puff* *bleargghhhh*
*cough* *cough* *swish* *cough*
*bleargh* *cough* *snap* *cough*
*huff* *huff* *pant* *pant* *pant* *drop*
Many things happen at the same time. The sounds of exhaustion, being beat up, tied, kicked, punched, beaten at near death, pierced by the weapons of the other group.
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
The other group consisting of fifty members is laughing while beating the tied-up group on a big circular formation.
Each members taking turns with faces full of sadistic tendencies, craziness and cruelty. Their face are hidden within thejr white robe but few showing animal ears, tails, horns and elongated sharps ears and others are short somehow acknowledging different races.
*cough*
"p...*huff*..PLE...*cough*..PLEASE SPARE US!!!" Adventurer A pleaded as he's coughing blood. He's a chienthrope, a demi-human with a dog tail and ears.
"IT HURTS!!! PLEASE END MY SUFFE---*bleeaarghhh!* Adventurer B, a werewolf, pleaded to the assaulting group for death but was quickly denied with kicks to his stomach, which made him vomit up blood.
The others flinched again.
*cough* *cough*
"LET GO OF ME! YOU SC*MSSS! OUR FAMILIA WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS AND I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU EVILUS SC*MS!!" Adventurer C shouted but its only became a joke for Evilus, the other group making fun of the amazoness' death threat.
*huff*
"f*ck! we're done for! I cannot believe this all HAPPENED BECAUSE OF HIM. THAT SECOND CLASS BASTARD!!!" Adventurer D, another amazoness, recovered her breath and gritted her teeth. She's blaming the young human adventurer for everything happening right now, that male individual that hired her team to level up and her fellow familia member.
*huff*
"e-e-exacTLY LEADER! I WILL SLASH HIS FEET AGAIN IF WE MEET AGAIN!!! NO I WILL DO EVEN WORSE! IF WE ESCAPED FROM THIS! I WILL KILL HIM EVEN IN HELL!!" Adventurer E angrily shouted and agreed to their leader said.
*Ach-ptuiii* *spit*
"h-hehe! I heard that you'd kill us? Why stop now? Had change of hearts Evilus? JUST END THIS ALREADY YOU PILES OF SH*TS!" Adventurer F,a human, with her bloodlusted eyes directed to the assaulting group and spit blood to the robes individuals after being tortured.
The members with white-robes smeared didn't hesitate and beat her up again but stopped after she's inches away from death.
Her teammates watching it then cowered in fear, looked downwards and held back insults and remarks while the Evilus group uncontrollably laughed louder.
Some of them continues begging desperately.
*sniff* *sniff*
"n-no! NO!! PLEASE I WANNA LIVE!" Adventurer G pleads with uncontrollable tears rolling down in her cheeks but the sound laughter is louder than her plea. She's a human.
*sniff*
"PLEASE SPARE ME NOT THEM! I PROMISE MY LOYALTY TO EVILUS! LOOK! I'M A SUPPORTER, I CAN CARRY YOUR ITEMS." Adventurer H is desperate to save his own life and didn't pay attention to the betrayed look plastered on the teammates' faces. He's a pallum, a race of small demi-people.
"NO, IT'S ME THAT YOU SHOULD SPARE! NOT THEM I'LL BE LOYAL TO EVILUS! SPARE ME! HOW ABOUT MONEY? I'LL GIVE IT PLEASE SPARE ME!" Adventurer I, a dwarf, didn't hesitate too began pleading with bribery.
"DON'T YOU KNOW SNOTRA FAMILIA? when we die, our familia will search our coRPSES AND THEY'LL AVENGE US AND KILL YOU ALL!!!" Adventurer J, a demi-human from the race of Sheep, threatened them but it became a joke for Evilus to starting laughing. Some of the eleven Evilus discriminately poking fun of his horns while their own Ears sticks out from their white robes.
Chaotic moods present in the atmosphere.
The depressive mood came from the bloodied beaten group that are crying, threatening and pleading for their life opposite to the other group.
The happy but creepy mood came from the Evilus members that watches the pleading group with laughter, more amused, delighted and indulging in their victims' despair and pleas.
"Blah blah blahhhh! Are you guys done begging? less speaking & more beating." The black-robe human monotonously said out of boredom when he's infront of the tied-up group.
"BOSS!" All of the Evilus members shouted and finally shut up waiting for their boss' next words.
"For your questions, How could we not know? You guys are the Geirr team from mid-ranked Snotra Familia. We've knew the names of every famous Second Class adventurers & above. The magic stones your team possesses are of great quality while the weapons are of very sharp. Each gears & weapons will fetch me ten thousands valis if I sold these to black market. You guys are great adventurers but will be greater additions for Evilus. This is your lucky day, we're recruiting people. How about we make the recruitment process interesting?" The boss smiles dangerously while staring the tied-up group.
"Untie them!" The boss commanded.
Some members cut the ropes and freed the tied-up Gierr team.
The Gierr team are standing now and angrily looking their enemy, the Evilus.
*thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud*
*thud* *thud* *thud*
They suddenly heard falling knives in front of their feet.
"Since I'd confiscated your weapons. Here's 10 deadly knives. All of you grab one knife & kill each other. I'll let the three surviving members join Evilus. Sounds great? START KILLING EACH OTHER! AH-HA-HA-HA!" The boss laughs when he sees some Gierr team members rejected the idea and are angry.
It took the Gierr team seconds of silence before picking up all the knives, but not in Evilus boss favors
He frowned upon the sight.
While the Gierr team are still in pain from being beaten up. All of them rushed to kill Evilus.
"I'LL MAKE ALL OF YOU PAY FOR THE PAIN!" Adventurer B shouted. He picked up two knives and ran towards evilus members wanting to kill them as he's confident to being level 2 and having knives mastery skill that he forgotten their situation earlier. Both his wolf ears and tail shows killing intent towards Evilus.
"DIE SCUM!!!" Adventurer F shouted as the human female ran in front with the knife aiming the boss' heart planning on killing him.
"I'LL KILL YOU S***HEAD!!" Adventurer J shouted as the sheep-man ran quickly and raised his knife upwards following Adventurer F.
Three adventurers ran while the rest of Gierr team stopped crying and cursing and then they ran quickly, aiming to kill the enemies while Adventurer G stayed and chants her magic spell.
Some of the Evilus Members responded too. Five level 3 evilus combatants clashed their weapons against Gierr team's knives, the low levels stayed while the Evilus' mages start chantings.
*CLANG* *CLANG* *CLANG*
The boss unleashed his executioner's sword and slashed upwards clashing to Adventurers F's and J's knives.
Despite their injuries,
Adventurers F and J started swinging their knives to different ways and aimed at the boss while the boss parried all with ease.
Adventurer F swinging faster than her companion. Adventurer J dealing powerful strike using his level status and advantage of Demi-human.
As few weapons classes and exchanges passes by,
The worst scenario happened during their clash as Adventurers F and J's knives and hands are shaking, feeling pain while the boss' hands didn't budge nor shake clearing showing the boss is stronger than them combined.
After few exchanges of slashes, adventurers F and J couldn't believe they're being pushed back by the Evilus Boss.
*CLANG* *CLANG* *CLANG*
The boss swings his sword downwards while the two adventurers swing their knives upwards blocking the executioner's sword that's trying to cut their body but blocking it causes the two adventures to kneel down simultaneously and their hands are shaking clearly feeling the Evilus Boss is still stronger.
These made them pause their fighting and the boss spoke to them.
"MAGES STOP CHANTING! This is a pity! The two of you are great additions to Evilus too with your levels but it's not great when dogs bite their master's hands." The human boss told his attackers with an angry tone rising and gripped the sword more tightly.
"Look! It's happening!" Two Evilus Members, Goon 1 & 2, shouted seeing their boss raging, they stepped back.
"Boss is angry!" Another Evilus member, Goon 3, did the same action and awaits for the boss' next action.
*SLICE*
The boss swings his sword horizontally to Adventurer J's neck faster than before. Adventurer J saw the attack, tried to block but he's too slow to defend.
It caused Adventurer J's death and his head flying being separated with his own body. The only sheepman in Gierr team died without difficulty.
Unbelievable,
*SHILCK*
As Adventurer F saw J's death, the boss starts another attack. He quickly stabs Adventurer F's right chest which destroyed her chest armor too.
*spit*
Adventurer F's spit blood and felt the sword penetrate her chest.
*Kick*
She was kicked by the Evilus boss which landed near the Gierr team's mage.
"f-FRITHRA! STAY AWAKE!" Adventurer G saw her fellow human sister, Adventurer F, in critical condition, she held her hands and stopped her attack spell to chant a healing spell.
Meanwhile,
The boss isn't just the only one killing. The Adventurer B advances towards the group while holding the knife.
Before Adventurer B could pierce Evilus member's throat,
Another white robe individual appeared to B's side more faster than Adventurer B.
*SLICE*
The white-robbed dark elf swings her swords horizontally that's faster than Adventurer B could react and successfully cut his head off. The white robbed female elf grabbed the head ahile kicking the werewolf's corpse away from her.
"JUPUS AND BALRIN NO!" Adventurer A screamed as he's saddened from the death of Sheepman called Jupus, known as Adventurer J, and the Werewolf Balrin, known as Adventurer B.
The rest of the Gierr team watch the death of their teammates while battling and quickly returned to their teammates.
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
The Evilus members celebrated and laughed hysterically enjoying the Gierr team's confusion.
"There's no way you guys can kill Boss and his secretary. They're both upperclass Lv.4s Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!" The Goon 1 dropped the bomb that made Gierr team freeze to their places.
The surviving Gierr team felt fear again, especially the lower level ones, after knowing the boss and his female member are high level 4 that easily killed adventurers B, F and J that are level 3 or second class adventurers.
They're outmatched.
"We're still recruiting, Gierr team. Don't mess this up this time!" The boss starts smiling and threatens them by stomping the adventurer J's head to clearly highlight his threat.
The boss started cleaning his sword and face and then drinks healing potion. He sat down to Adventurer J's corpse and watched the remaining Gierr team's despaired reaction that clearly understood his threat, which put a smile to his face.
Seconds passed by,
With the Gierr team feeling hopeless towards resistance, something dreadful happened.
*SHILCK*
"WHY IVAN?! YOU TRAITOR!" The Gierr team screamed when they sawthe Dwarven Adventurer I, known as Inor, stabs Adventurer H, their pallum carrier's hearts to death while grim expression plastered in his face.
"NOOO!!!" Adventurer G can't believe the sight of betrayal again and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"THIS IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR! AH-HA-HA-HA-HA!!" Boss laughs clearly entertained followed by the other Evilus members' claps and laughters.
Among the sounds of chaos and amused laughters, Ivan with grim expression pulls the knife from the carrier's dead body and aims the bloody knife to Adventurer E.
"Don't call me a traitor! All of us are traitors when we sacrificed the kid back in that cave, we all heard his squeaky voice scream in agony yet we left him, ESPECIALLY EANOL, YOU DAMNED ELF! You slashed the kid's legs! Don't you know the consequences of betraying goddess Snotra?!!" Ivan screamed to the Adventurer E, male elf and known as Eanol, who holds a knife.
"I KNOW WHAT I DID! but don't antagonize me! None of you saved him and all of us escaped without him! I'll do it again for the sake of my survival and I don't care anymore since I'll be joining Evilus. DIE ALREADY LOWLY DWARF!!!" Eanol said while jumping to Ivan, stabbing his neck and killing him.
*SHLICK*
"AYUTO! LEADER YOU TOO?!! WHY?!!" Adventurer C screamed in rage and betrayed tone as he witnessed their Amazoness Leader, Adventurer D, stabs the Chienthrope Adventurer A's head, known as Ayuto and died.
Adventurer D and Eanol nod to each other teaming up and looking at sisters. But both Eanol and the leader pity the sisters.
They left them alone knowing that Frithra would die in seconds.
Instead, both of them target the amazon Adventurers C and they killed him together.
*Cough* *spit*
"Grithra the spell is useless! Dying in your embrace isn't bad after all. Take care Father and Mother for me!" Frithra coughed blood while telling her last word to her sister as her soul left her body. No smile plastered in her face instead it's a pained expression.
*drip* *drip* *drop*
"n-NO!!!" Grithra screamed with unstoppable tears as her sister died in her embrace. Deva and Eanol just looked down.
Few seconds passed and three people left standing.
"WE HAVE THREE WINNERS! WELCOME TO EVILUS!!" The mad boss enjoying the deaths and celebrates with joyous tone that's followed by the Evilus members' celebration screams. As if this event happened more than once.
"The white robes are mandatory and custom made. Also, I already know your names or aliases but state your names for formalities!...Men return their armor & weapons while giving potions afterwards.... I don't want to present damaged items afterall." The mad boss explained to the three members of the dead group.
"It's Eanol... Lv. 4 elven ranger." The Male elf replied.
One Evilus member gave him a red potion to heal and returned his armor and weapons.
"Deva the Frœken Niten— the Lv.4 leader of the former Gierr team." The Amazon Adventurer D, known as Deva, presented herself to Evilus and was given healing potions and her and weapons back.
"That's Grithra— our Lv.2 human mage." Deva pointed at the devastated Adventurer G, now known as Grithra, who's crying to her dead sister Adventurer F.
The members forcefully picked her up and healed her. Grithra's is still crying.
"Great now th-"The boss' speeach was interrupted.
"at the ffFFFFF***********K!!!!!"
Another scream echoes to the group from far away, this causes all of them to look at the direction of the echo.
The scream was heard by the Evilus followers.
"...Boss. That's probably our members left behind toying the adventurer these guys kindly gifted us...We should plant fake evidence and use the cave to return to Knossos bringing the adamantite ores we mined here and the loots we got from monsters and adventurers." The level 4 dark-elf female Evilus secretary reported while holding Balrin's decapitated head.
"GOONS! STORE THE LOOTS & DECAPITATED HEADS!... PLANT THE MONSTERS CORPSE BESIDES CORPSES— COME FOLLOW ME AFTER!—FOR EVILUS!" The evilus boss commanded the members with feverishly loyalty tone to evilus.
The Evilus boss along with his secretary ran towards the scream's location.
"FOR EVILUS!!!!!" the members simultaneously shouted. The members planted the corpses of monsters besides the humans corpses and then they looted the armors, backpack and weapons of the Gierr team's corpses.
All Evilus members ran immediately following the boss along with the other Evilus members who split with them earlier.
Some forcefully threatened Grithra who wants to stay behind.
Wanting to live she hesitantly left the place and followed the evilus.
They directly followed their boss. Some of them have crazy eyes, itching fingers and bloodlusted expressions plastered in their faces.
The left behind Evilus members met the main group along the way to the cave.
Minutes passed by when they arrived before the cave's entrance to see multiple boulders scattered and fractures.
.
{FLASHBACK ENDS}

---------------
=TIMESKIP: PRESENT=
=LOCATION: Outside Alex's cave=
The 53 evilus entered the large cave and saw the interior of the cave has more cracks and became chaotic than the outside.
'A mess made by monsters' The evilus present unanimously thought as they see the damages
There's no monster in sight and yet,
Within a few distances they found someone inside the cave.
The evilus boss asked his the left behind goons if they knew him and why hey didn't kill him but those evilus goons quickly respond not knowing the man in question.
The Evilus group all spotted an individual who's currently doing pushups within the mess.
The Evilus boss walked in front and greeted the individual. Some were admiring the guy while some are itching to kill him.
"Who is he? Is he second class?" The evilus boss asked her secretary who have a good memory. Feeling curious about the man's identity while walking towards.
"...Boss, we don't know him. He's a lone lower class adventurer. We should kill him now and let no one knew this passage to knossos." The Dark Elven secretary strategically replied to her superior
After reaching a certain distance, they halted.
*whistle*
"Look at what we have here! Sup pretty boy!"
Alex looks to his left side and found the owner of the voice that called him.
He stood up to faced his opponents and spoke.
"Are you guys, the Evilus?" Alex asked while glaring and his hands started shaking when he saw the group who killed the young adventurer, the Evilus group in front of him, blocking the cave's only entrance.
This is weird! after exercising and practicing One piece's martial arts, I don't feel tired yet but my hands are shaking now? I'm not scared nor afraid right now even when dangerous people surround me, Am I excited to test my new abilities by battle? Is it an Adrenaline rush? It's probably from having Germa's DNA. I'll take it since it's better to this feeling rather than fear.
Alex thought before noticing three familiar faces from the Evilus crowd, the three adventurers who sabotage the dead adventurer.
Did those three joined Evilus? looking at their clothes not matching the evilus and that girl's devastated face. Did something happened? did they joined by choice or force? Idk man too many questions not enough time for answers.
Alex stopped these thoughts to directly looked at Evilus' black robe individual.
"You know that we are Evilus & yet you didn't run away...Are you here to beg for mercy? or you'll beg to join us?" The boss mockingly said as he expected Alex to do the same just like adventurers they've killed in the past.
The boss smiles dangerously while looking Alex's shaking hands. Other members saw it too and chuckled at the sight while Grithra looked at him with pity.
F***! The Rush is still there but another arises, Is it hesitation to kill? I admit that this situation is just like those deadly, nightmare fuels and horrifying war deployments.
.
From the dead adventurer's memories. These people kill people for fun.
.
I will fucking regret this but and could probably remind some dreadful past
.
but
.
remember the psychiatrist said. Don't live in the past. Don't think about deaths but always prioritize health and survival. This isn't my first time, I need to choose whose life will remain again, either mine or theirs.
Alex thought to himself mixed with sadness, pain, cold harsh truth and encouragement.
*Inhale*
Alex closed his eyes shortly and breathes in heavily.
.
.
*Exhale*
He opened his eyes and breathed out that successfully cooled down his head from his thoughts and stopped his hands from shaking.
.
.
.
.
.
"GO FÚCK YOURSELVES MØTHËRFÜÇKĒRS!" Alex shouted to make his refusal loud and clear. Also, it contains rage and sufferings from his military pastlife.
Next, Alex donned his armor helmet as looked the boss with confidence, calmness, present mind and an objective
.
to survive.
.
.
"KILL HIM!!!" the boss furiously order.
The Evilus members followed the order, they then surrounded and encircled Alex so that he couldn't escape. All of them smiled under their mask when they saw him standing believing their target is paralysed in fear and thinking of him as easy prey.
Before seconds passed by, they moved quickly. The boss, secretary, new recruits, level 2 - level 4 mages stayed behind and begin chanting their magic spells while most members ran towards Alex shortening distances between them.
Even when the crowd approaches,
yet
He's just standing there...MENACINGLY.
When five level 3 Evilus member weapons were only at an inch to Alex's neck, he moved and did three actions instantaneously.
The first action,
*Bzzaap!*
Electro!
He said in his mind and his right arm began producing electricity.
His right hand formed into fist and he instantly did a strong right hook punch which landed to the opponent's face.
*BAAM!!!* *CRUNCH!!!*
The opponent's body directly received Alex's electrifying right hook on the face before he reacted to the punch. He involuntarily dropped the sword and his back broke into pieces which created the crunched sound.
*Zztttt!!*
The opponent's body spasms due electric shocks and bent backwards since it can't take the force of right hook punch and dies instantly.
*ZztFhUUuuuu~*
The spasming dead opponent's body flung far away and was never to be seen again dragging his fellow members with him.
The second action,
*STOMP!!*
Him looking at the second target already, Alex used his left leg to do front push stomp to opponent's stomach. The opponent's body shut down and died without notice.
The body flung back looking like a ragdoll that was hit by fast moving truck. It flung far away and was never seen again dragging his fellow members too.
The third action,
*WHAM!!!* *CRUNCH!!!* *CRUNCH!!* *CRUNCH!!*
He changed the angle of his left foot to use the heel too while his left leg raised mid-air and then he spun counter clockwise, doing the spinning hell kick to the three opponents and crushing their arms, ribs, liver and heart which they died without notice too.
Three dead bodies were swept away, flung far away and was never seen again dragging their fellow members again.
He felt no remorse nor fear.
Alex's actions were done instantly and he successfully destroyed the enemies front formation, destroyed nearly half the enemies and their circle formation before they even realized it.
When they slowly turned their heads to look at their surroundings, Alex understood it as them distracted and a chance to attack again.
*WHOOSH!!!*
Soru!(Shave)
Alex stomped the ground many times, moving away from former position and instantly went behind the back of his two enemies.
*BANG!!!* *SMASH!!!* *BANG!!!* *SMASH!!!*
He grabbed the two heads' behinds then smashed them to the ground, which killed them instantly.
The opponents just realized now Alex's actions made them slightly fear him and became cautious of attacking Alex.
Even when they're scared of him, the melee fighters continue attacking.
*WHAM!*
This exchange all happened under 3 seconds as Alex is kicking another opponents.
What's happening to my men?!
The boss thought so as he stared at Alex waiting for the right time.
.
.
.
---------------
=LOCATION: Unknown=
In an unknown location filled with darkness and silence. A dark place without noise but there's something in the center.
In the center, there's a bunch of lights shining in different ways. One circular light that has been blinking while there's a monumental flat squared light in front of the circular light.
The monumental light shines different colors at different speeds at different sets of time. Those colors form lines, shapes, actions
.
.
sounds? human?
.
.
Yes! the flat squared light creates sounds and image of human. More accurately, It portrays the black haired guy with black tattoo around his left eye fighting the people mostly wearing white and black robes.
They create different set of sounds.
The humans will compare the flat squared light as Video, TV or Cctv screen. The circular light in front kept blinking until the light produced a sound similar to what humans make, a voice.
"I'm glad she's still alive." A childish voice of relief, that's similar to humans, coming from the circular light.
The circular light used his 'eyes' and kept watching the contents of the squared light presented.
"...She saved me back then, even when they betrayed me—but this time I will repay her— I have to save her!" The blinking circular light said with determination before looking specifically to one individual, the lone guy fighting the group which made the light 'frowned'.
"He's strong and great capable fighter! Along with items, especially those strange fruits he has. This will be hard! but I don't have much time left. I need to be careful!" The light expressed with frustration and then kept watching the screen.
as if waiting
for
the
right
time...
