Ivan's gaze darted around the boss room, his expression filled with immense confusion. He then shifted his attention to his own body, finding it unscathed amidst the sea of lifeless players who had exhausted all their lives.
The room now bore witness to the fallen bodies of every player, but Ivan stood there unharmed as Vorgath gradually turned his attention towards him.
Realizing the opportunity at hand, Ivan swiftly began to distance himself from the approaching boss, his mind racing to make sense of the situation.
"I have no idea what's going on, but if I'm given another chance, I have to survive this time," Ivan muttered, determination etching his voice as he focused on creating a gap between himself and Vorgath.
Yet, with no other living target left for the boss to engage with, Ivan's strategy proved futile this time.
Vorgath, with blinding speed that surpassed Ivan's reaction time, closed the distance that Ivan had attempted to create. With the same merciless precision as before, Vorgath swung his sword, swiftly cutting through Ivan's defenses and ending his life once more.

With a brilliant blue flash, Ivan found himself respawning once again in front of the relentless boss. Determined to break the cycle of defeat, he immediately sprinted, desperately seeking distance to formulate a new plan. However, despite his efforts, Vorgath closed in on him in an instant, mercilessly ending his life once more with a powerful swing.

"What in the world is happening?" Ivan cried out as he materialized once again before the imposing boss. His outburst drew Vorgath's attention, reigniting the tyrant's desire to claim his life.
In a last-ditch effort, Ivan swiftly retrieved the beginner sword from his inventory. Uncertain of how it could aid him or if it would make any difference at all, he knew he had no choice but to fight back, even though the futility of his actions weighed heavily upon him.
As Vorgath's massive iron sword descended upon Ivan, he raised his meager weapon to block the attack. Yet, the feeble beginner sword proved no match for Vorgath's power, offering no resistance as the colossal blade sliced through both the sword and Ivan himself.

"Is this some sick joke?" Ivan uttered in disbelief, his gaze fixed on his own hands as he materialized once again. Vorgath, relentless in his pursuit, resumed his approach, seemingly unfazed by the countless times he had already claimed Ivan's life.
"What is this? Is Leonard behind this? Is this his sick way of tormenting me further?" Ivan questioned himself, desperately searching his mind for answers.
"No, they lost control of the game completely after the Ender Time. Could it be related to the Game Developer class then?" Ivan pondered, the clanging sound of metal hitting the floor resonating throughout the boss room as Vorgath drew nearer.
Vorgath raised his sword, poised to strike and end Ivan's life once more.
A somber nonchalance flickered in Ivan's eyes as he lifted his gaze, locking eyes with the towering boss.
"Do it, you metal fuck," Ivan said, his voice filled with a mix of resignation and defiance.
As Vorgath's sword descended upon him, Ivan met his fate without a trace of fear. The blade claimed his life instantaneously.

It always hurt, the searing pain in New Oasis felt all too real, yet it lasted only for seconds before Ivan's consciousness reassembled itself, his HP restored.

With each subsequent respawn, a realization began to take hold in Ivan's mind. He had perished eight times since entering this game, and yet, he returned to life each time. Moreover, he noticed that by engaging in his desperate struggle against Vorgath, his stat points increased. This revelation ignited a fiery excitement within Ivan, his blood boiling with anticipation.
As Vorgath steadily approached Ivan once again, a transformation overcame him. Ivan's mood swiftly shifted from despondency to a mischievous grin that spread across his lips.
In the face of imminent danger, as Vorgath raised his sword to claim Ivan's life, a faint chuckle escaped Ivan's lips.
"Heh. You metal bastard, you don't understand, do you?" Ivan taunted, his hand forming an 'x' in preparation to block Vorgath's attack.
"You've unwittingly become my personal stat farm," Ivan exclaimed almost maniacally, his voice dripping with satisfaction and an air of twisted glee.
As Vorgath's sword sliced through him once more, Ivan's consciousness fragmented, only to quickly reassemble itself once again.

In the world of New Oasis, the stat point allocation system was designed to reward users with more points when they engaged in combat against stronger opponents.
As a result, the greater the level difference between the user and their adversary, the more significant the stat point gains.
Performing even the simplest actions, such as throwing a punch or defending against significantly higher-level opponents, could result in increased stats. The act itself may not directly damage or defend against the superior foe, but the lower-level player would still receive stat increases for their ability to attempt such feats.
Under normal circumstances, attempting to farm stats in this manner would be deemed foolhardy and lead to the player's quick demise.
However, this were not normal circumstances.
"Alright, let's start by farming strength," Ivan declared upon respawning. Unlike before, instead of waiting for Vorgath to approach him, Ivan took the initiative this time. His hand clenched into a fist, he charged towards the imposing boss.
Vorgath swiftly swung his sword at the oncoming Ivan, who opted to strike back with a punch directly at the iron blade. The impact obliterated Ivan's hand completely before the sword cut through him, bringing about his demise.

The cycle of death and resurrection persistently plagued Ivan's vision, the notifications etching themselves into his consciousness. However, accompanying the repeated deaths came the notifications of increased stats, reigniting Ivan's joy.
For hours on end, the ceaseless cycle of death and revival continued, with Ivan managing to prolong his survival with each subsequent attempt.

More time passed, Vorgath's relentless onslaught continued, each death bringing an incremental increase to Ivan's stats. However, the diminishing gap between Ivan and Vorgath also meant a decrease in the stat points gained over time.

Ivan gazed at the underwhelming stat increase and let out a sigh of disappointment as Vorgath once again closed in on him.
Vorgath swung his sword downward, but this time, it was met with resistance. The swing halted in mid-air as Ivan's sword intercepted and blocked the lethal strike.
Ivan now wielded the Head Splitter, once possessed by the Orc boss, and he effortlessly held the weighty blade above his head, using it to withstand Vorgath's attack.
"Alright, that's enough," Ivan declared, his tone laced with a menacing darkness as he locked eyes with Vorgath.
