As Corey looked at his status window which had changed ever since he left Kyle's survivor group five days ago, his eyes moved towards his intelligence attribute points and he frowned slightly.

The major differences on his status screen were his level which had gone up from 5 to 30, his increase in attribute points, the addition of three new skills, a new equipment and his pain resistance going from level 2 to 3 which was because of the unknown number of times he died in The Library Of Records which he did not bother to count for the sake of his mental health.

His first day outside alone was not easy at all for Corey, he had to avoid most of the Smileys due to his extremely low level. He also had to look for a safe place to stay and he had to be cautious and observe his surroundings properly so as not to be caught off guard by a Smiley.

Corey used the first day to observe the places he could stay and the Smileys he had a chance of killing through sneak attacks.

The first Smiley he killed was a level 20 Smiley by a sneak and planned attack. By laying a few traps here and there, he lured the Smiley towards the traps and killed it from the back.

His level increased from 5 to 9 and his attributes also increased after absorbing the soul stone, and it was from this Smiley he got the unranked passive skill, night vision which made him to see at night.

After killing that Smiley, the next Smiley he killed was a level 30 Smiley, and he also did it using tricks and a sneak attack.

His attributes increased, and so did his level which increased from 9 to 17 after absorbing the soul stone. He also got the skill, Super Jump and the equipment, Ghost Cloak from the Smiley.

The ghost cloak had a small amount of defense and could also reduce his presence to some extent. The ghost cloak was a major part of what helped him in killing Smileys up and down due to it reducing his presence which enabled him to kill Smileys through sneak attacks.

His level would be much higher than it was currently if he absorbed all the soul stones of all the Smileys he killed, but the problem was that after killing the fifth Smiley, which was a level 24 Smiley, and absorbing the soul stone, only his level increased but his attributes did not.

He thought maybe it was because the difference in level was not much so he looked for a Smiley which was level 30 at least and he found a level 32 Smiley and killed it, but his attributes didn't increase, only his level did.

He had to call Kyle and ask if he knew why that was happening to him and Kyle told him that it was the same for everybody. That after killing the fourth Revenant no matter the level, they don't get anymore attribute points, they only level up.

Kyle told him he suspects that after killing four of the same type of monsters, one's attributes would not increase anymore which made Corey believe to have a high probability of been correct.

After Corey learnt this information from Kyle, he decided to level up to level 30 and find a Black Smiley to kill so as to increase his attributes even more because Kyle told him that the higher the difference between his level and the level of the monster he killed, the more attribute points he would gain from the soul stone.

Although it was stupid and dangerous to think of fighting a Black Smiley when the one he recorded was a level 65 Black Smiley, he had his plan on finding a way to kill it but it would require him to be extremely careful, vigilant and also lady luck to smile upon him.

But it seemed like lady luck was not smiling at him for the past two days since he had been looking for a black smiley but couldn't find one. He had been encountering normal smileys everywhere and he had been killing them and gaining money.

Yes, another thing that Corey gained apart from an increase in strength was money and this was where his annoyance and anger at the Universal System was rekindled.

Normally, one would expect that a Universal System would have a system inventory or storage where one could store their items and most importantly money but,

No!

The useless Universal System did not have an inventory where he could store items.

And it most importantly did not have an inventory where he could store his damn money!!

Like what kind of a system did not have an inventory where he could store his coins!

It was absolutely inconceivable!

Absolutely unbelievable!

The Universal System was the epitome of uselessness in Corey's eyes.

He hated it's uselessness.

And because of the uselessness of the Universal System, he had to hide his coins underneath a part of the wooden floor in the room he was in.

Boom!

Bang!

ROAR!!!

Just as Corey was observing his status window and remembering, an explosion followed by roars resounded from outside into his room.

Corey closed his status window and ran to the window. He looked at the roads and his mouth opened wide when he saw what was happening outside.

Four boys like him shouting and fighting at least ten normal Smileys and… three Black Smileys!

Corey's eyes constricted when he saw three Black Smileys with different kinds of weapons.

One was carrying a sledgehammer, another was holding a great sword and the last only had gloves on it's hands but it's strength seemed greater than the other two.

This three Black Smileys were currently fighting against a boy in a suit and hat holding two guns, a boy with a sword and shield, and two beasts: a lion and an ape.

Not only were there three black smileys, there were ten normal smileys which were been fought by a boy who was flying in the air while shooting arrows on the smileys below and three beasts: a leopard, snake and a kangaroo which Corey guessed was been controlled by the boy staying at least fifteen meters away from the battlefield.

But just as Corey was watching the fight, he noticed something weird. There were times when a normal smiley would drop dead even when nothing attacked it and there were times he would see dagger slashes appear on a Smiley's body even when nothing attacked it.

Corey squinted his eyes and observed the battlefield with scrutiny before he noticed a boy appearing close to one of the Smileys unknown to the Smiley and slashed the Smiley's thigh.

Even after slashing the smiley, the Smiley did not notice the boy and just roared in pain and anger.

Just as Corey was watching the boy, Corey's eyes unknowingly moved to another place just for a second then looked back to where he was watching the boy previously, but,

"Huh? Where is he?"

Corey lost sight of the boy.

He looked for the boy again before he found him behind another monster but just as he did, his eyes involuntarily moved away from the boy then just as he noticed that, his eyes moved back to where he saw the boy previously but the boy was no longer there.

"The hell?"

Corey was baffled for a second before his eyes shined.

'This is my chance. I need to get closer and record this battle.'

Corey thought then ran out of the room with his fastest speed, not wanting to miss the battle and while running, a thought kept on repeating in his mind.

'Free Combat Experience

Free combat experience

I'm gonna gain free combat experience from this battle.'

[A/N: This bonus chapter was because y'all reached dropped up to five power stones. Thanks so much to the people that dropped.

If y'all have been reading my notes after each chapter, y'all should be able to guess the names of the big five, but I wonder if you can guess who is who based on the abilities I showed in this chapter.

Anyway, their characters would be introduced properly in the next chapter.

Also, please I don't know if there's any female among the first five people that dropped power stones. I checked your profiles but I saw none was a female, some did not disclose their gender.

So if one of you is a female, please tell me so that I can change the gender. Thanks.

Once again. People DROP POWER STONES even if it's not for the bonus chapters.

If you're enjoying the book, just drop power stones.

Thank you and have a great day/night.
