"Well , this is gonna be really hard if there's one thing that I know." I said as the Purple Shadow Boss noticed us and started going at us.
The only reason I was able to keep up with it's Speed was that I had my Berserker Ring. But even so I couldn't Dodge everything , same thing for Ratbag.
We traded blows with the Shadow for a bunch of minutes and then.
[WARNING HEALTH DROPPED BELOW 30%]
This is starting to get really dangerous. The last time I dropped this low , I was out cold for hours... there is one main difference this time tho. And that is , I am not bleeding. Since we came to this 9th Dimension even when I got Damaged , I just wouldn't bleed , and it wouldn't be as painful.
Thanks to that me and Ratbag kept going and slowly started to fight on even tides with that monster. The only problem was , I started to get very exhausted.
The only reason I kept going was because of so much adrenaline in my body.
[WARNING HEALTH DROPPED BELOW 20%]
[CRITICAL STRIKE]
I landed a critical strike. Then I remembered how my new Critical Strike Skill works , when my health drops below 10% the chance of the critical strike becomes 100%. The question is ... should I take this risk?
I told Ratbag about it while we were fighting and he said: "Well the shadow might die pretty soon , I wouldn't risk it."
We kept hitting it from every side and we defeated it.
Hold on hold on where is the "monster slain" message , what about the level Up?
"Hey Ratbag did you kill the Shadow?"
"Hold on , I though you killed it." Just as he said that we felt an ominous presence , we turned around and the monster WAS ALIVE , BUT that's not the worst thing , no not at all.
[Purple Shadow Abomination - DEATHWISH MODE]
[A-Grade]
A GRADE ... A GRADE...
The Speed was on completely another level , I couldn't keep up neither could Ratbag the monster started throwing us around like some ping-pong balls.
[WARNING HEALTH DROPPED BELOW 10%]
[MESSAGE: BLOODY CRITICAL STRIKE CHANCE INCREASED TO 100%]
This is our only chance , this right here. I looked at Ratbag and he somehow changed as well.
[Ratbag The Backroom Visitor] [Grade B]
I don't know how but there was a purple light around him , also he suddenly became Grade B but whatever this fight became much more interesting right now.
Right here I used my Shadow skill and I could tell that it dealt a lot of damage , the monster started screaming , but unfortunately I couldn't keep it up
for too long because of my low mana.
[WARNING REMAINING HEALTH 10]
At this point it's do or die , me and Ratbag almost read eachother's mind and started continuously attacking the shadow.
[CRITICAL STRIKE x5]
[WARNING HEALTH IS ON 1%]
HERE IT IS. We are either dead or we Can do it , the monster has been weakened , on the other way me and Ratbag got stronger , the problem is my remaining health is : [2]
I cannot let a single mistake happen.
[CRITICAL STRIKE x3]
The monster is almost dead I am too fast for it , WE CAN DO THIS. Me and Ratbag started barrage of attacks , then the monster attacked Ratbag and that's where I took the opportunity. I threw my Blood Dagger
at it.

[Entering the next location]
[Title EVOLVED];
[The Backroom Visitor => The Backroom Explorer]
After receiving this message , I lost consciousness.
(Several hours later)
I woke up I opened my eyes. I am alive. I AM ALIVE!
"Mia what's going on where am I?"
I started looking around.
"Also where is Ratbag?"
And my current health is full?
"Mia why is my health full?"
[Hold on Majo one thing at a time alright?]
[You have entered level that is called... 0,5. To be honest I have no clue what that means , but I do know something else]
[Ratbag is not in this location , he got sent somewhere else , into some other level]
[And your health is full because you entered another Level of the Backrooms , it seems that whenever you enter another Level , your health fully regenerates]
"Well that's good news , besides the fact that Ratbag is somewhere else. Level 0,5?"
I started looking around... why is it called 0,5 why not 1? 2? 373? Why is it decimal number?
[I don't know how does it work with these Levels, but I do know that YOU leveled up. You should allocate your skill points]
"Oh that's right , well then open rewards for leveling up"
[Level Up rewards (level 10)]:
[Reward number 1: TEN skill points]
[Reward number 2:C-Grade Lootbox: Random C-Grade item which suits your combat style]
[Level Up rewards (level 11)]
[Reward: 5 skill points]
All level ups so far have been the same thing besides level 5/10 I'll keep that in mind.
"Accept rewards"
I gave myself 5 points to Vigor , 5 points to Endurance and 5 points to Durability. I would like to avoid ever getting this close to dying again.
"Open C-Grade Lootbox"
[You Received]:
[C-Grade Cloak: The Vanishing Cloak]
[Details: The cloak is invisible , it creates an illusion for the everyone who sees it's wearer. This illusion makes it seem like the wearer is dissapearing from a moment to moment]
This sounds pretty good for a C-Grade item. I wonder what an S-Grade Cloak is like. And what about an S-Grade relic? Oh man.
"Equip the Vanishing Cloak."

The new Title is even stronger , and the player count has dropped by more than usual , I wonder what is happening over there... in the Overworld.
(Meanwhile In the Overworld)
(After Majo and Ratbag dissapeared , Fenhua and Lisa got killed by the D-Grade Bodyguards (which where still hiding some aces up their sleeves) and only then were they able to kill them. After this incident they leveled up a lot and everyone went separate way...)
(Hwa-Young's perspective)
I need to find him , I need to find Majo , I know he's alive , somewhere , somehow one way or another. I need to become stronger , I know that he became stronger than any of us. I cannot be left behind , not again. (She headed South to the kingdom of dwarves , hoping to find as many ways as possible to level up)
(Anders's perspective)
Ah damn it , why did they die. I have to become stronger , the strongest in this world. I won't be overcome by anyone or anything ever again.
(He went North , we were already in the Northern Kingdom but he's going to another continent , risking it all for a chance to become stronger)
(Mamadou's perspective)
I don't know what happened back there but Majo sacrificed himself for us , there was no death message so he might just be alive but where is he?
The worst thing is , even through his sacrifice.... Fenhua and Lisa are dead...
I have to become stronger no matter what.
(Mamadou is heading to the east where they call it the Gladiator kingdom. All kinds of people and even monsters fight for Power , the strongest get the best rewards and become some of the most successfull, but the chances of survival are slim to none)
(Charlotte's perspective)
(Charlotte is headed west to the Kingdom of Chaos.This kingdom is a complete anarchy no rules, nothing. The true definition of survival of the fittest.)
Ahhhh why am I doing this to myself... I know why... I need to become stronger I didn't know those guys for too long but now we share one goal and that is to become the strongest. I Can feel it.
(Chinami's perspective)
I am really scared but Majo wasn't , when we all thought that it was over for us , he didn't lose his hope I don't know where he is but I have to become stronger to be able to look him in the face the next time I see him.
(Chinami is going to the Northern Mountains in the Northern Kingdom , they're known for having a lot of assasing and people who do shady bussiness for coin, she is going to be surviving in these mountains to become stronger.)
