Chereads / Life of Xerxes / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

"Hey guys author here obviously lol. Anyways, if you haven't figure it out yet our MC here is gonna be leveling pretty fast since as a human test subject/experiment he has a lot of power, strength, knowledge and what not. His overall rank is already SSS worthy due to all the training and drugs that he has been infected with. Don't worry, He will eventually slow down due to the monsters getting stronger and him getting slower exp. Another thing I should mention is that all monsters are not the same level once you rebirth. They will scale with you so even if a level one joins you the monsters level will be tuned to your level not the level 1's. Which can and will be exploited later on. This is a story with game like mechanics if you haven't noticed it yet. That being said if you have questions let me know by commenting and I'll respond eventually".

The dungeon resets everyday at midnight. So Xerxes would spend the next 3 days farming to get to level 25. Which he also went to the guild for another rank up. Once again surprising the guild once more with how fast.

What they don't know is that Xerxes has the strength and stamina of a 1000 men. Which means he doesn't struggle with normal monsters that most men will. He's fighting monsters higher rank and level then him gaining him more exp and leveling him up faster. The only reason he farmed the newest dungeon was because his instincts warned him of danger.

Even now his instincts are warning him of danger but still what's a battle without any danger to it. He moved in the dungeon eliminating everything that comes his way and reached the boss room in record time. He took a deep breathe and opened the door and step inside.

Once he took a few steps, the door closed and lights turned on illuminating the area. What he saw was a giant sleeping dragon that was level 50. He didn't get any chance to analyze it further due to a tail coming his way. The tail was super fast but he managed to dodge it thanks to his instinct. after analyzing it for a few seconds realized why his instincts were warning him. It's because he saw it's breathe decaying the ground rapidly.

That's all it got is speed and that deadly decaying breathe. He ran towards the dragon, keeping an eye on its tail and slashed his sword on it scales. He expected some resistance but not this much. It only made him grin to get more materials to upgrade with. He switched his sword out for his spider sword and slash once more. This time there wasn't much resistance.

He then ducked under the claw and saw the tail coming towards him. He kicked the ground hard making him jump over the tail, and using giant's strength managed to cut the tail off completely. The dragon raged and blow a wave of decaying gas at him. Xerxes used Feather's Flight to escape the gas and reappeared next to it's neck.

He swung his sword to cut off its's head and finish it off but the dragon moved and sacrificed his arm in order to intercept and attack the "Human" that harmed him. Xerxes was launched a bit away but other than that was completely fine. The dragon blew another decaying gas at where he was but didn't see anyone there. The dragon vision was upside down and closed it eyes unvoluntary.

Xerxes looks back at the decapitated dragon and saw it turn into particles. He got some rewards for killing it.

Dragon's Heart x1

Dragons' eye x2

Dragon scale x25

Dragon tail x1

Xerxes got excited and could use its heart to upgrade his sword or armor. He decided to farm this dragon a couple times to get more materials. He looked at his level and saw he was level 32. He leveled up 7 times from that one fight.

5 more days passed with Xerxes farming the dragon boss and ended up earning in total:

Dragon's Heart x3

Dragon's eye x8

Dragon's scale x125

Dragon's tail x3

Dragon's teeth x50

Dragon's Wings x10

Overall it was a good haul and he managed to hit level 52. The second fight gave him 6 levels and the third gave him 5 and so on.

We now find Xerxes back at the guild to report his rank up and level. He managed to get to Rank B Adventurer in so little time. He is literally the talk of the guild. A few people have tried to teach the "brat" some manners only to get their ass whopped and handed to them. Since then no one bothers him and just cheers him on calling him a new hero rising through the ranks.

Xerxes didn't mind the attention since it works out in his favor anyways. He wants to be known so people can hear his name and tremble before him or acknowledge him. He is not someone to look down upon. He has saved many people mostly female due to his bandit hunting and slave trading. He takes out slave traders escorts and saves the slaves inside.

To this day he rescued over 750 slaves and destroyed 10 slaves traders hideouts. He has a personal vendetta against slave traders due to his past and can't help but do something. He won't sit by and do nothing, that's just not his style. All the slaves know who he is but not his name. He simply goes by X when out rescuing people.

He decided to head out and get some shut eye and see what happens next.
