??????? Pov:
As I run through the desert to look for the forest as i am to weak for the desert where sandworms roam that are E Rank creatures.
"Haaahaa I need to stop the Portals for my survival but I am to weak to fight him"
fear creep up my back as I am running with all my might to get to the Forest as a two meter Mantis appears in front of me and swings it tentacles at me.
"dammit"
I draw my sword to block the attack however the Mantis stop mid swing and change the trajectory to his throat
^clang^
however I reacted fast enough to use the handle of my sword to block the attack
"Krghh"
despite that my arm feels numb after blocking its attack.
"guess I have no choice but to use it"
the Mantis charge at him with incredible speed as it arrive in front of him in seconds
^clang^
however much to the Mantis surprise her prey blocked her attack moreover he seems to glow in gray color as his Mana exponential grew which was the last moment the Mantis saw as her head was cut off by a materialized sword out of Mana.
"Haaahaaaa i should change my Mana to some kind of other power if I have the time to do that"
do i murmble as I barely stand, the only thing that holds me standing on my knees are my hands on them that push against them since when I sit down i know that I wont stand up again for a good hour.
taking a potion out of my dimensional ring I chug it down my throat, the feeling from the fatique and my Mana slowly recover
as I feel the liquid in my stomach to spread its magical energy throughout my entire body.
"I need a companion or someone who can help me with the Portals."
I uncounsciously say that out loud as my ears hear a silent thud next to me, I dont even have the chance to react as a knife emerges on my throat.
"What did you say with the portal and has the Portal something to do with Demons?"
I swallow my own saliva as the situation right now could expose me or alarm the Overseer and would result in a catastrophe were an all out assault of both sides would happen which would progress the story to fast.
"I know it sounds weird but can you please create a sound barrier?"
"I already did that before my ambush against you."
'WHAT? I didnt feel a thing as that happened'
as I am on the verge of breaking down and thinking how I could tell her it, her voice turns cold as i feel a chill running down my spine.
"has it something to do with Demons?"
I nodded in fear of getting my throat slice open but the atmosphere turn a degree colder however I didnt have a knife on my throat.
she put her Knife away and sits on the ground or on something incorporeal as she float above the Ground and seem to think about something when suddenly an aura with bloodlust in it seeps out of her Body however only for a short while.
"You are going to be my Guide and show me the way to the Portals."
My body felt numb from her pressure that is not much higher than me however I have the feeling if if I say one wrong answer that this would be my end.
I push my head up and look in her Obsidian colored eyes in addition with her Obsidian colored hair and her Perfect body that push against the trainings suit
'She looks too good to be not one of the Main cast of the story but I dont remember her'
she seems to be getting angry as my eyes trace every curve of her godlike body since a knife flew past my throat by a hairs breath
I stand there like in my military time as a soldier and stop any wild thoughts as I look her straight in her eyes.
"Okay but I want to have the privilege to choose one Item that is there if they are any"
she looks at me skeptical but refuse to question it as she nods her head as sign of agreement to the deal
'that means I dont need to make me that much worries to get my hands on the Ether core'
I thought as also a smile forms on my lips and she is getting the chills by my smile what hurt a little bit because she took eight steps into the forest and orders me to follow her
'Is my smile really that bad?!'
that crush my confidence that I look pretty handsome myself as I need to interact with the main cast a lot or to be more precise to Ben Asylk Astrol the Main Protagonist and the wielder of the cosmic energy which is stronger than the copy of the Aether energy.
"Do you want to die with that smile of yours or do you want to show me the way where the Portals are set up?"
she ask with a lot of annoyance and disgust radiating from her face as she turns back to walk faster in the Forest
"WAIT"
I shout from behind since I am one Rank weaker than her.
^swoosh^
me and the girl dash through the forest and kill the Monster that lay on our way to get the first two places on the leaderboard but Ten players where above us with 100 Points minimun moreover that point difference doesnt get smaller.
"Haaaahaa how do you think we will get into the top ten if they are all monster with thousand points?"
I ask her with an look of annoyance in my eyes as we are three days on the way and only need one day more by foot to get to the location of the Portal.
she looks at me like she would look at an Idiot as she clicked her tongue and set up her camp to sleep
however the only answer I got was a knife that she throws at me but I got accustomed to it as I block the knife with a materialized sword.
'temperament of a devil'
as she heard what I thought she come out of her tent with Incredible speed and kick me in the stomach that knocks me out cold.
at the next day I woke up and activate the watch to look where we stand on the Leaderboard now

'??????? Who is Kim Yong????'
He doesnt remember that he create a Character that has such a name moreover does that person should not be even here if he is that person.
"What are you so looking so hard on the Leaderboard?"
Mi Sang hee ask from my sight with curiosity flashing in her eyes as she stands right beside which makes my heart jump a beat
I jump back to calm myself down but to no avail as she appears in my sight of line so I open my mouth and spout some bullshit
"I am asking myself who this Kim Yong guy is as he wasnt on the Leaderboard yesterday."
However after a short time I am saying the real reason, my shoulder drop for a second as I realze what I said but she saw it moreover a smile that takes my breath away appear on her face as she read the name
"Kim Yong"
in a tone to sweet to be describe in words.
'Who the fuck does that guy think he is!'
unbeknown to me I slowly am consume by my jealousy as I see how she looks at his name with a lot of warmth and affection
'I hope he fights the Villain or better the Demon'
My wishes are granted as the ground shook and an explosion occured where a white serpent with Wings beautiful and full of wisdom emerge out of the Mountain where the Portal should stand with two People on its back.
"Kim Yong!!"
Mi Sang Hee screams, my head snaps to her as I see the Person with the Scythe fighting against a Person with short swords on the body of the serpent
'What the hell is going on here?'
